Weaver: Sorry everyone. I was having a hard time trying to think on what to do for this chapter. I mean, I want it to lead to a really harsh bump in Anzu's addiction...hmm...I hope this makes up for how much time it took to thing ;

(Anzus POV)

I slowly walked my way out of the bathroom. The maid's outfit had been hung up for tomorrow's use. I ran a hand through me hair, making sure my pajamas fit. Both the pants and the top were decorated with hearts and cards. I looked like a walking deck of cards. Poker cards, not Duel Monsters.

I pulled back the covers of my bed and slid into it the soft bed. Mokuba sure was a hand full. After the ice cream he decided he wanted to play tag, and them hide-and-seek. Not to mention she got lost more than a few times. Though after the whole day of playing chase, she finally gave him a piggyback ride up to his bedroom. I tucked him in and kissed his forehead. I left after that, but not before hearing him whisper that he was glad he had a nanny that could have fun with him.

All in all, it was a very tiring day. I closed my eyes and snuggled under the covers, holding Cuddles close to me. Soon, the week would come. Not only will I get to go home, but also I can have a smoke. But...I still can't be with my friends...what if they hate me by now?

I put all my worries behind me to deal with another day. I was so sure with all that went on today, I could fall asleep right away. But when it has to do with me...nothing ever goes right. After a few seconds of darkness and silence, my eyes snapped open and I felt myself dive for my bag that I had tossed in the closet.

"What am I doing?" I thought numbly as my hands fiddled with all that pockets and latches. "No! I left all my cigarettes behind." My fingers didn't stop till they reached a crackle. My curiosity got the best of me and I pilled it out.

Gum? Why would I...wait...this is nicotine gum! A sly grin spread over my face as I opened one quickly and started to chew it. Just like chewing a cigarette, but at least this means the craving would go down. Of course that's only because when you smoke your body craves nicotine and that's just what this gum is.

I waited for a few seconds. The nicotine in this gum is so strong that's all it takes. I waited a few more seconds till my craving subsided and then I spat it out into my bedside garbage can.

"At least the craving is over...for now." I climbed in bed, snuggling back under the covers and hugging Cuddles close to me. His blue eyes stared right through me. They almost seem to show sympathy. I closed my eyes and shook my head, looking again. It was gone. Great, now my head is playing tricks on me.

But something was bothering me. Am I...addicted? Nah, I couldn't be. So it was a major craving, nothing truly to be worried about, right? Of course not. And after that...I fell asleep with only one thought running through me mine.

I'm not addicted.

(Kaibas POV) I looked at the blue screen of my computer, typing a contract for my next meeting. As I saved it and shut the computer down, my mind wondered to the girl that was in the room next to mine.

I quickly changed into my bedtime boxers and climbed into bed, simply tossing the covers over my head so that I wouldn't have to face the sunlight in the morning. I hate waking up and not being able to see anything but a bright light.

Anyway, where was I? Oh yea. Mazaki. I know she agreed not to smoke while being here around Mokuba...but I don't trust her. She's one of the geek squad. She'd disobey me in a heartbeat...but would she take the risk?

I turned over, trying to erase the thoughts out of my mind. I have a meeting coming up, I do NOT need this. Of course, fate is never really on my side. I sat up quickly hearing a bang on the wall. What the heck? I was getting ready to jump out of bed when I heard her voice.

"At least the craving is over...for now." Craving? Does she mean for the cigarettes? She's smoking isn't she? I threw the covers back over my bed and closed my eyes tightly. That's it. Tomorrow when she's with Mokuba, I'm going to search her room. I can't help that stubborn thing if she won't me! And with that, I relaxed and feel asleep, with only one last thought.

She's Addicted.
