I'm very sorry it took me so long to update. bow repeatedly Forgive me!!! and thank you to all the people who reviewed and told me to start writing again. You know who you are! huggles readers My creative side has been lackly a lot and I didn't feel confident writing anything. I don't own Yugioh! If I did Yuugi would be a normal height. --;; On with the story!
Marik and Bakura seated themseleves while Anzu grabbed shot glasses and heated up a pan of water (A/N: warm sake is nummy), then she pulled out a bottle of tequila, Jack Danials, rum and some leftover wine from her birthday. Then she began to toss bags of chips, cookies, and other snack foods on the table. Marik and Bakura eyed the alcohal with a trace of humor.

Marik: "Bit of an alcohalic I see."

Anzu shurgged: "I like alcohal. Besides, tonight is a night I'm not going to remember."

Bakura and Marik grinned behind her back. Oh yeah, they were definatly going to have fun tonight.

As Anzu was waiting for the water to boil, she glaced at her calender and realised that she had to feed Ruby today. She figured she better do it while she was still sober. She glanced behind her and asked the two men if they were afraid of snakes or rats.

They both gave her an odd look and said no.

Anzu grinned: "Good. You can help me with Ruby."

Bakura and Marik glanced at each other. Marik asked her who the hell was Ruby. Anzu began to smile even wider.

"Ruby is my pet snake. I have to clean her cage and feed her tonight." she said. Bakura and Marik's eyes widened to almost bulging. Bakura's mouth dropped. Not in all the time that he had known her had he EVER thought of her as a snake person. Hell, he thought, she isn't like the other girls I've seen. The water was finally boiling so Anzu dropped the sake bottle in it, turned off the stove and moved the pan to a cold burner.

"Come on. I want you to hold her while I clean her cage and get her food." she said.

Marik: "Wait. What kind of snake is Ruby? And just what do you plan on feeding her?"

"Oh, she is a seven foot common boa. And I feed her live rats." she answered. She quirked an eyebrow and grinned at them. "Why? Don't you trust me?" Then she began to laugh as a memory came unbidded to her.

"Oh and pray tell what is so funny." asked Marik.

Anzu was wiping tears from her eyes as she answered. "I used to own black emperior scorpions. And when they all died, I put their exoskeletons in a box. I scared the piss out of Jou when I told him I owned mummies and showed him my 'Boo Box'. I also grossed out everyone eles. Who would have figured that the 'Friendship Preacher' would have a snake, scorpions, rats and use them to scare her friends." She shurgged again. Seeing Marik and Bakura's slightly confused look she said, "Jou is terrifed of mummies. He believes that he will get cursed." She began to laugh really hard when she remembered the first time she, Honda, Yuugi, and Jou went to the museum with Yuugi's grandfather. Still laughing,she lead Bakura and Marik to her living room where she kept Ruby. Opening the cage and grabbing the reluctent snake, she hauled Ruby out of her cage and handed her to Bakura (he was closer), then she grabbed all the old newspaper, threw it away then put in new paper. Running her fingers across Ruby's body as she passed, she went to the spare bedroom where she kept the rats and selected a male. Stopping in the entryway of her living room, she told Bakura to put Ruby away and lock the door. After it took both Marik and Bakura to put Ruby back, Anzu walked to the other side of the cage, opened the door and placed the rat in the cage. After she shut the door of the cage, she watched as the rat and snake got to know each other, but hearing Marik ask her why she was watching made her turn to look at the two yamis.

"Ruby is an idiot. She has missed her prey before and bit herself but then she wouldn't let go and I had to pry her mouth off of her body. She hissed at me, like she was telling me that she was busy. She has also grabbed a mouthful of paper and coiled around that. So I have to watch her to make sure that she eats her food." Then hearing a loud, but short, squeak, she glanced back at the cage to see that Ruby had grabbed the rat by the head and was doing just fine on her own. Anzu stuck out her tongue at Ruby and called her a brat. Smiling, Anzu bounced back into the kitchen saying that the alcohal was calling her name. The yamis just shook their heads and follewed her.

They found her with a generous amount of warmed sake in her hands, humming and sipping her drink at the same time. She looked at both of them and said, "Sit. And talk with me." (A/N: I love Lord Darkness. From the movie Legends. I don't own that either. ) Grinning, they both sat down and poured themselves some sake.

"So what do you want to talk about?" That was Marik. (He is being really social tonight. It must be the booze.)

"Hhmmm....Why did you two follow me home?"

This time Bakura answered. "I...we...have found you to be interesting. You have never, in the time that I have known you, gotten anger with any of your friends. You always had such patience when dealing with them, even when you were under obvious stress. Like you were some damn angel that always played by the rules. But it seems lately that you have shown a more...'human' side to your personality."

Anzu chuckled and winked at her guests. "Believe me, I do not have infinite patience. Actually, I used to chase off Yuugi's bullies, which were Honda and Jou. They would start picking on Yuugi, then I would show up, tell them off and they would run. Then I'd tell Yuugi that he needed to tougher. I was always told that I was unusually violent for a 'sweet, friendly' girl." Suddenly she punched the table and growled. "Honda and Jou would make a 'panty tank'. That means they would grab a big ruler (I don't know the real name for the damn thing.) and yank up my skirt with it. I cobbled them both whenever the did it. Boys are so annoying! And as for playing by the rules, I held an illegel job while I was in high school." She gulpped down some of her sake.

Bakura and Marik found themseleves smirking. This girl had a violent streak and would break rules if it helped her. Then Marik asked her was job it was and why wasn't she still there.

"Burger World. Yuugi and Jou followed me one day and I theatened them both that if they told anyone that they would die. hehehe....I wrote 'Tell and you die' in ketchup on their food." Here she looked thoughtful. "I told them about my dream to go to America and study dance. I've had that dream since I was five. Jou promised me that if he told he would eat 10,000 burgers if he told. However, I guess fate was going to be a bitch and send a criminal on death row to Burger World. I got held hostage for the first time at gun point and blindfolded. I was scared that I wouldn't get to dance on at least a small stage. Woohoo. Yami saved me then. But I got actually got fired when I punched a customer who grabbed me." She shrugged. "I'm glad I'm not there. I love my new job. I mean, where eles can you see drunk people dance with chairs then at a bar? I love being me. Just ask anyone who knows me." Realising that she had finished her sake, she poured herself some tequila.

a couple of hours later (yeah, you can hate me but I can't think of anymore conversation topics, unless someone wants to suggest one)

Anzu, Marik and Bakura were laughing at something one of them did but they coudn't remember which one it was. In short, all three were twelve sheets to the wind a.k.a. drunk. Marik and Bakura had discovered that they enjoyed being in Anzu's presence because she didn't judge them, she just took them as they behaved toward her or her friends. She didn't care that Bakura was, is, a thief or that he used to rob tombs. All of a sudden Anzu began to hum the song 'All the things she said' by Tatu. Then she jumped up and ran or rather weaved very quickly into her living room. Then they heard her DDR game start up and that song start playing, curious, they made their way to the living to watch Anzu dancing the best she could considering she was drunk. Suddenly, her phone started ringing and she dashed to grab it.

"Moshi, moshi." Anzu.

"Oh, Hi Anzu! This is Ryou. I'm sorry for calling so late but I was calling to ask you if you had seen Bakura. there was a muffling noise Or Marik. Malik and I are worried that our yamis are out causing trouble and to remind them that they work to do."

"Yeah, I've seen them. They're here. We were getting drunk. You and Malik should come over next time as well. I love having company. Yeah, yeah, Ruby makes you uneasy, but I can cover her cage. Fine. I'll send them home now. No problem. Goodnight Ryou-kun."

After hanging up the phone, Anzu yelled out, "You two have to go home now! That was Ryou-kun and he said that you two have work to do tomorrow...today. It was fun drinking with you two. We should do it again some time."

Marik made his way out the door first and as Bakura was passing her, Anzu felt something brush against her cheek. Blinking she turned her head to see that the yamis were gone. Sighing, she shut and locked the door. She glanced around and told herself that the mess could wait.

"YAY! I finally get to take my shower!"
Yeah, here is where it ends. I like it. It's short and it's really a filler but I like it. And all the stuff that Anzu was saying is true. It's in the manga. Well anyway, please R&R!!! Reviews are the reason I started writing again. I already have an idea for the next one but I want review. Gimme gimme!!
