Chapter 3: Under the Same Roof

Anzu woke up to the suns beams; the sweet melody of chirping birds welcoming her into the day. With a yawn she stood from the bed, licking her dry lips going over to the drawer. She let another yawn, as she took out a matching set of bra and panties before exiting the room and heading to the shower.

She open the door and was met with a blast of steam, her eye's blink a couple of times before the steam disperse and she was able to see a figure in the floating mist.

It was Malik…

Anzu blinked.

Malik blinked

He was naked…

She was seeing him naked.

"KYAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

Anzu immediately covered her eyes but alas, the damage had already been done. "SORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRY" she cried over and over her face burning to an undesirable heat, her hand's continuing to cover her eyes. "SORRYSORRYSORRYSORRY" Namu cried out too, as he frantically try to reach a towel.

Well that was one hell of a way to start a morning…

Breakfast was an awkward one as the two teens ate eggs and slices of toast, avoiding eye contact as much as possible. Anzu still couldn't disperse the shade of red on her face as she nibbled her toast quietly. 'I can't believe I forgot Malik would be living here with me…and then…he…' she stopped there, face getting hotter.

Namu couldn't even face the poor girl after that incident and felt very guilty for it 'I didn't mean…great, now it's going to be awkward between me and Anzu-chan now…' he thought glumly. He was determine to be as little trouble as possible while he was a guest at her home and what did he do?

' I end up having Anzu-chan see me naked…' he groaned at the thought with humiliation. He couldn't face her now 'and worse she knows' he made another moan of pain at this.

"Uhm…" she began. Namu has his face down. Anzu sighed 'why am I acting like this? It was an accident that's all. There bound to happen, if were going to live together we have to past off things like this' she thought to herself.

"Anzu-chan…."

She looked up to face him. The poor boy had his face in ten different shades red as his lavender eyes looked to her shamefully. "I'm sorry…" he began; Anzu stopped him by raising a hand above the table. She let an understanding smile "I know Malik, it was an accident, they're bound to happen" she finished. Namu nodded "Can you not call me that…?" he ask.

She looked at him confused "Call you what?" she ask. "Malik, please call me by my real name" he answered.

"But" she began as she remembered the conversation she had with Isis before he taken "Namu" home with her.

FLASH

"Anzu" Isis spoke. Anzu looked to her "Yes, Isis?" she ask. "The doctor said the only way for Malik to regain his memory is to surround him by familiar things and to call him by his true name, it may not work but it is the best thing to do" she said. Anzu looked to her then nodded "I'll do my best" she assured. Isis smiled at her "Thank you Anzu, you are my brothers savior"

Anzu looked confused. "Why?"

Isis look to her knowingly "you were there in his hour of need, now and back in battle city" she spoke. "Oh…" she only replied. "Please take care of him" Isis spoke.

Anzu nodded "yes" as they both turned they were met by Rishid and Malik standing side by side.

"Shall we go Anzu-chan?'

"Yeah, lets go home"

FLASH

'I have to, it may the only way to bring back his memory…' she debated. "Please Anzu-chan?" he ask. "At least here at home?" he pleaded.

"I…"

"Do it for a friend?"

Anzu inwardly groaned 'Blast, why did he have to use the friend word on me!?' She looked to him "ok, Namu-kun" she replied smiling. Namu smiled back "Thank you Anzu-chan" he replied, the awkwardness was soon forgotten as they ate the remnants of their breakfast pleasantly.

She began to stand up picking up her plate until her creamed hands were caressed by dark silk tanned ones "Please Anzu-chan let me get them, it the least I can do after all you've done for me" Namu offered looking to her with his kind eyes. Anzu gulped 'When did Malik become so adorable!?' she thought to herself.

"O-Okay" she stuttered allowing him to clean the table. She heard water running and turned seeing him wash them "oh here let me help dry them then" she spoke walking, and stood besides him taking a cloth.

"Ok"

After done doing the dishes Anzu sighed to herself boringly "Summer is here…and there's absolutely nothing to do…" she groaned counting the tiles on the ceiling. "Why don't we go out then?" Namu suggested.

"It's better than being stuck in the house all day" she agreed. She suddenly bounced for joy "ok, just let me get dress" she exclaimed motioning to her pj's embarrassedly "Heh, I guess I forgot to take them off since." she trailed off and the awkwardness returned again.

"It was an accident"

"Yeah…nothing to worry about…"

"What do you mean nothing to worry about!? Was something--"?

"No, of course not it looked healthy--"

"Ok…that's good…I think…are you sure…?"

"Uh…of course I'm sure I mean it 's wouldn't be the first --"

"You mean you seen one before!?!"

"Well on accident, you see Jounouchi got drunk and streaked across the living room one time…."

"Oh...well…I didn't mean to sound like you were…"

"Of course not, it happens… it's just that it's so…"

"Uhm…was it…?"

"Yeah…but it's nothing to be worry about…you should be happy that…."

"Hey was it…?"

"Than Jounochi's? Uhm…er…it would be rude for me to say…"

"That's ok…."

"Are you comfortable? I mean…"

"Yeah…I'm comfortable with it…I think…I should, shouldn't I…?"

"Of course! You should be comfortable with your masculinity" she spoke and quickly got up face on fire "well I'm going in for a quick shower then" and with that she sped up the stairs. Namu slumped back to the couch exhausted as a some sweat trickled down his fore partly to the heat and partly too their conversation about his "danger zone"

"Well then….looks like living with Anzu-chan is going to be interesting…?" he only said as the tingling of the wind chime entered the home. His face went red once again remembering the event.

"She saw my…."

Later in the day…

"Where to Anzu-chan?"

"Uhm, your choice" Anzu offered. Namu looked around "I still don't know much about this town….so is battle city still going on?" he ask. She shook her head "nope it ended a while ago" she answered.

Namu seemed a little disappointed at the news "oh, well…so, who won?" he ask.

"Yuugi"

Huh, well I'm not surprised, he is game king after all" he began. She nodded "yeah…" she said a small blush coming into her face. It did not go unnoticed by Namu "you like him don't you?" he suddenly asked. She look to him flustered "I well….yeah…I did…" she spoke.

"Lingering feelings?"

She nodded "yeah…even after he…" she was stopped when she felt a soft yet firm hold on her shoulder, it was his hand. Namu looked to her kindly and with a smile, he spoke "you don't have to tell me Anzu-chan, but he's the one at a lost" and with that he made a face like so ( - ). Anzu only looked to him confuzzled with a blush appearing on both faces. They could not turn away as eyes locked on to each other. Immediately the spell was broken and the two turned away from each other; Anzu rubbing her left arm and Namu, the back of his head.

"That was awkward…" Anzu thought.

"Say Anzu-chan…" Namu began but before he could answer a distinct male voice caught his attention "hey that sounds familiar," he thought looking around. Anzu's ears perked up also "I know who that is" she spoke out loud and spied two familiar blondes and a brunette.

"Jou, Yami, and Honda" she said and realized another thing, Namu disappeared.

"Where he go?"

"So Malik never came by the Game shop?"

"How dare he ditch the great pharaoh" Yami bitched while his two comrades sweat dropped. "Meh, don't sweat it Yami, he was bad service if I do say do myself" Jounochi assured while Honda nodded.

"Yah, he probably stole something from the shop or wrecked it" Honda chimed in. "I suppose you're right but still, it was nice to have a spoil brat like him around as a slave" he spoke with an evil grin. "Eesh Yami, you can be evil" Jou joked. Yami looked to him with mischievous eyes "Sometimes" he reinsured.

"JOUNOUUUUCHIIIII-KUUUUUUNNNN!!!!"

O-O

O-O

O-O

GLOMP!!!

CRASH!!!

O-o

o-O

-

"Jounouchi, are you still alive?" Honda asked. Yami only stared blankly and jaw agape at the sight of Malik Ishtar glomping Jounouchi and still had a good hold of the blonde youth. "Holy shit…what hit me O" jounouchi muttered.

" Hey Jounouchi-kun!" Namu replied happily. Jounouchi stared at him "MALIK WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!?!?!" he roared as he stood up abruptly making the tan youth fall back on his butt. "Ow…" Namu muttered while Jounouchi held his chest, as if having a massive heart attack.

" what's up guys?"

O.O

O.O

O.O

O.o "what?"

"Maik, are you feeling ok?" Honda ask. Namu tilted his head "Why shouldn't I and by the way I'm Namu" he spoke getting back on his feet. "Malik, quit this idiocy and explain why you were not at the game shop helping Yuugi and I!?" Yami demanded crossing his eyes. Namu looked to him confused "I was suppose to be…?" he began.

"Namu!"

All turned at the sound of the voice "Anzu-chan, over here!" Namu exclaimed waving to her. Anzu hurried to them "Honda, Jounouchi…" she stop when she faced Yami.

"Hey there Yami"

"Hello Anzu" he replied. Her thought immediately refocused itself onto Namu "Namu, why did you disappear on me like that!?" she demanded. Namu gave her a sheepish smile "Sorry, it's just I haven't seen Jou-kun, Honda-kun or yuugi-kun in a while" he responded. She gave him a soft yet firm stare. "Ok, but warn me next time you decide to run off" she laugh jokingly.

"Um…Anzu?"

"?"

"What going on with Mailk and you??"

"So that's what happen after he left the game shop" Yuugi spoke. They decided to go to the game shop to rest and have Anzu explain what had happen to Malik, thus…why they were there ( ;;)

"Yeah" she replied. "So until he gets his memory back he's staying with me" she finished. Jou looked to her "Nothing weird been going on right?" he eyed her. Anzu's face suddenly got hot "n-nothing at all" she reply adding a nervous laugh.

He only raised a brow at her than looked to Namu. Namu only looked back "What's up Jou-kun?" he said before smiling at him. 'He sure acts like Namu… =Oo=' he thought. The pharaoh only sighed at this "Well then, since this unfortunate accident has befallen you then, you do not have to work at the game shop" he spoke understandingly.

"Thanks Yuugi, Yami" she said. They affirmed it with a nod. The boys still looked at Malik waringly not knowing what to believe. "Well then, I guess we better get going, it's starting to get late" Anzu broke the silence. Yami agreed, "very well, have a safe walk back Anzu…namu…" he replied. Namu nodded "of course he spoke. He begin to get up walking towards the exit of the shop. Anzu shortly followed until he was stop by Yami "Yami…?" she ask.

"Anzu..." he began. Anzu eyes overcame with concerned "What is it...?" she ask.

"Don't trust him"

"…What?" she asked. Yam looked to her "Don't trust him," he repeated firmness in his voice as the violet crimson orbs reflected from her eyes. Before she could speak he hushed he "just, don't trust him" he whispered, his voice dropping to a low tone. She slowly nodded "…ok…" she spoke.

"And…"

She turned to look.

"It's nothing…" he assured waving to her. She waved back and exited where the tanned man waited for her, and they went off. Yami sighed to himself "Yami…" Yuugi began. Yami let out a smile "Don't worry about it aibou" He assured.

'You regret it…don't you?' Yuugi thought as his darker half returned to where their friends rested and shortly followed.

At the house

"Well that was a fun way to spend the day" Namu said as they entered the silent home. "I guess" Anzu replied flopping on the couch.

"Say Anzu-chan"

"Hm?"

"Namu gave her a pensive face "Namu, what's wrong?" she asked.

"I don't know, I had a feeling your friends didn't like me…" he answered. Anzu look to him sympathetically.

Don't trust him…

Anzu shook her head 'Screw the warning' she decided. "Nah, don't worry about them" she assured. He nodded "Ok" he said tiredly "I'm going to crash ok?" he spoke going up the stairs. "All right" she replied. She turned on the TV and begin scanning through the channels.

"Infomercial…infomercial…infomercial…pornography--EW!!…Wow she's flexible…"

She immediately turned it off flushed "Bad Anzu" she said out loud. "I'm going to bed' with that thought she began retreat to her room upstairs. She yawned as she open the floor.

She blinked.

He blinked.

Namu was in his boxers

She was looking.
