norestar-angel - Well they'll being to unlock this chapter and in the next chapters you'll get a better idea of how far her power reaches
capito celcior - Thank you for voting, they are cute, aren't they
Maliks#1girl - Mits off, he's mine! Anyway, where would the fun be in them finding her now? Nope, they'll have to suffer a bit first.
Nightfall2525 - I might do Seth/Anzu in my alternate pairing after this fic, Shizuka (Jou's sister) is with Seto sorry, but it'll probably be Mokuba x Rebecca :-)
Magicman/Smokegirl - Technically yes, like in BC they put Anzu in a chair and not try and poison her instead. And they invented 2 series, I guess they felt sorry for Becca-chan, I know Seto was a little mean, but that will all change! :-)
Eden's Chaos - Actually yes, I am insane adn thanks for voting.
xKuroSeraphimx - There is a cute AtemuxAnzu moment at the end of the series, anyway there is some Anzu in this chapter and next chapter we have some vampire/werewolf stuff and thoughts so be happy.
DojomistressAmbyChan - Oh Becca and Ryuuji are far from ordinary and I'm glad you think I kept them in character, I though I may get Becca a little off.
Silver Magiccraft - Thanks, hope you had a goodnight's sleep
Black Joey - I know there are a lot of pairings but at this stage I have to build up everyone else and set in the links, the pairings are only hints. After a couple more chapters I'll be able to focus a lot on Marik x Anzu x Malik. So yeh, I know there's a lot of couples but there are a lot of characters and I don't want any loose ends. :-)
Pairings: Malik x Anzu x Marik, Seto x Shizuka, Jounouchi x Mai, Yami x Isis, Yuugi x Mana

Anzu pushed herself up from what felt to be like cold stone, she looked down to see a solid mass that was made up of a swirling mass of colours, blue, purple and black. Anzu shivered, she looked around herself and saw that the walls were made of the same thing as the floor. It was strangely like those ideas of a large, empty dimensional space in somebody's closet in those sci-fi films.
She heard the sound of a door opening and she spun around from her sitting position on the floor. She looked up to see a man in a deep scarlet suit, lined with crisp white lines and golden buttons. "Who, who are you?" she gulped looking up at the man's one visible eye, the other was hid behind a mass of straight silvery hair that cascaded over one shoulder.
"Hello my dear," he drawled slowly, Anzu watched him with wide eyes as he walked towards her, his shoes clicked against the floor.
"What do you want with me?"
"To train you," the silver haired man replied, Anzu looked at him.
"Train me?" she repeated slowly.
"Yes, your aunt asked me on her death bed to ensure that you were adequately prepared to deal with the supernatural world," his eyes narrowed slightly in a wicked smile.
Anzu was so consumed by the words he was saying that she didn't register the light golden flash in the place of his hidden eye. "My aunt," she gasped.
"Yes," he smiled that conniving smile of his again, "your aunt."
"Alright then," Anzu stood up and held out her hand, "I'm Anzu," she grinned.
He smiled dangerously, "I'm Pegasus, its very nice to meet your acquaintance at last, little Anzu."
"And yours," with that he led her out of the room and into a larger one.
---Ryuuji's penthouse apartment---
"Rebecca what the hell did you think you were doing?" Ryuuji demanded glaring down at the blonde haired girl whose hair was pulled back into a plait for a change and tied with a green ribbon that matched her eyes.
"Stopping a thief Ryuuji-kun, nothing more," Ryuuji was still glaring.
"Did you notice the attention you attracted, no kid your age can jump that high, it was a bloody Olympic record for crying out loud," Ryuuji argued.
"But he stole my bag," she protested.
"Listen to me, when that mess happened two years ago we swore we would never see each other again you understand me? We promised each other we would never reveal any signs of magical ability, do you remember? Do you?" he demanded hotly.
"Yes I remember," she replied quietly, looking away from him.
"Then what are you doing here?" he demanded.
"What do mean what am I doing here?" she yelled, "you promised there was nothing else out there, if you couldn't keep your end of the bargain then you have expectations if you want me to keep mine."
"Oh alright fine," Ryuuji sighed in defeat, "but where's Mako?"
"He doesn't want anything to do with it now that he's found his father, he'd prefer not to risk losing him again," Ryuuji nodded, accepting this explanation. "So tell me Ryuuji, what's happened here?"
"Someone I know," he blushed, "well, there's been some vampires running around lately and well she," he was interrupted.
"She Ryuuji? Am I hearing wedding bells?" she grinned, he blushed darker.
"This is no time to make jokes," she giggled and her coughed nervously, "anyway, she, Anzu, was declared slayer and since then her powers have begun to manifest quite rapidly. Problem is," he trailed off, unable to continue or meet Rebecca's eyes.
"Are you trying to tell me that some stupid girl has set off a train reaction that's making other powers reveal themselves?" Ryuuji nodded. "Well that would explain that kid I met in the park," Rebecca looked thoughtful and Ryuuji looked shocked.
"In the park, I thought that was you?" Ryuuji said suddenly, "Who was it, did you know them?"
"Having never been to Japan before I don't think I should know him," she spat, Ryuuji looked reproachful, "But yes, I've seen his picture often enough he was Mokuba Kaiba."
"Mokuba? Nani? Demo…" Ryuuji put a hand to his forehead, his eyes wide, "How much more complicated can these things get?" he was asking himself but Rebecca answered anyway.
"It would appear to be a lot, there's more than just that Kaiba in this city," Rebecca replied.
"Oh no," Ryuuji sank back wearily into a chair, "I thought we'd gotten rid of the problems two years ago, why now, why couldn't it wait till we were gone and let someone else deal with it for a change."
"Oh stop whining and start thinking," Rebecca commanded.
---Anzu---
"Well, I'll leave you to it," Pegasus drawled, Anzu turned to ask what he meant but he was already gone, as was the door. She looked around the room and saw a black portal appear in front of her.
She jumped back as a body tumbled out of it, he was dressed in purple robes and groaned as he began to get up, "Huh, where am I?" he looked around and soon noticed Anzu at the other side of the room.
"Who are you?" she asked, her voice quaking.
He stood up and looked around, no windows, no doors but there was light, he was wearing the purple robes of the Black Magician and he was holding a staff. "I am Mahado, and who are you?" he asked sternly.
"My name is Anzu Mazaki," she replied still wary of him.
His eyes widened, "Are you a slayer," she didn't answer, "You are aren't you? I can sense great magical energies, you're the one Pegasus wanted, why are you here?"
"Pegasus said that my aunt told him to train me," she replied, she didn't know why she was telling a complete stranger this.
"That's a lie," Mahado said quietly.
"How would you know?" she demanded hotly, "How do I know you're not lying."
Mahado reached forward and pressed the tips of his index and middle fingers to her forehead, they glowed momentarily and the Senen eye was seen on her forehead, "Because I'm telling you the truth," she looked him up and down.
"Prove it," she spat.
"Would Atemu," he paused, "Yami even, lie to you?"
"How do you know Yami?" her eyes widened, "And why did you call him Atemu?"
"Because when Yami was Pharaoh that was his true name," he looked around hopelessly, "I can only hope that he is safe."
"He is, or he was when I last saw him," she looked to the ground, "did you know that he is a vampire?"
"Yes I did, he, the High Priest and the Tomb Robber also, not to mention the Tomb Keeper," Anzu looked at him.
"You really do know them, don't you?" he nodded, "Then I trust you," she smiled, "But if Pegasus is evil then we need to be able to defeat, you said I had great magical energy, how do I use it?" she asked contentiously.
His eyes widened, "Do you mean to say that you have no idea how to use your powers?" she nodded and blinked, "Alright then, try this on for size," he waved his magician staff and sent a ball of purple light at her, "Black Magic Attack!"
Anzu screamed and threw her arms up in front of her, a golden shield materialized and the energy ball was absorbed. Anzu looked up over her arms and blinked, "What-what happened to the ball?"
Mahado smirked, "You absorbed it."
"Is that good?" Anzu asked, he nodded, she smiled, "Then let's continue!"
