Doktor Faust: Whoah, it's been like... more than a year since I updated this. ANd I don't think the formatting likes me either. Try to wade your way through, I guess XD

But now I should be able to get back to it because I just got a new computer, which'll make all this a hell of a lot easier. My old one just wouldn't open programs right and they wouldn't operate correctly IF I got them opened. I think it was a virus, but I was so tired of screwing with those, I just got a new one. That, and it was a birthday present X3

But anyway, I had to go back and reread this story so I would know what was going on! XD I feel so bad for neglecting my account! But I be back, so it's all good now. Maybe. I'm just waiting to get a virus on this one. XD

Anyway, if at all possible, enjoy! XD

Oh yeah. I don't own YGO or its characters. They are copyright Kazuki Takahashi.

And beware of salty language. As usual. XD

NOW enjoy!

Anzu shivered slightly. This wasn't particularly a situation she enjoyed being in, and she sure didn't want to be here. She took a deep breath and mustered all her strength...

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!" she screamed, hoping perhaps to attract some attention towards the alleyway.

"SHUT UP!" the man harshly whispered back, trying to get a grip on Anzu's arm despite the fact she had decided to fight back at this point. She gave him a swift kick in the shin and took off back to the street.

"WAIT! DON'T GO! ... DAMNIT!"

Anzu ran as fast as she could, trying her best not to think about what had just happened. Who WAS that? She knew she had seen him before... heard him before... and she remembered she had hated him. And why the hell did he choose her, of all people walking down the street, to become his victim? She shook her head lightly as she stopped for a break, using her sleeve to wipe the beads of sweat from her brow. THIS time, she kept herself on guard. Damn... if only she had been able to get a good look at him. It was only a glimpse at best... If she hadn't escaped, things could have turned out MUCH worse. She considered herself lucky.

Looking at her watch again, she prepared to get going. Forty minutes late. She was DEAD when she got home. Maybe on the way back, she could come up with a good excuse. She took off again, this time her pace a bit slower than before. However, she heard footsteps behind her. God, was someone ELSE following her? Or was it the same guy? She quickly spun around and yelled.

"STOP FOLLOWING ME!"

In response, she got a yip from her "stalker". A small crowd of people had begun to watch.

"ANZU!" came the voice. "You almost gave me a heart attack!"

"Honda?" Anzu asked quizzically, as if she knew the name but didn't quite register the face. "Geez, I'm sorry! I thought you were someone else."

"Gah... please don't do that again! What if it hadn't been me?" Honda breathed.

"Really! I'm sorry! I've been a bit on edge for the past ten minutes or so. Some guy pulled me into a back alleyway! I thought you might've been him!"

"Whoah! What happened?" Honda asked. The crowd dispersed.

"I just told you what happened. I can't say anymore than that. He dragged me into the alleyway and I kicked him and ran. Where's everybody else?"

"They took off. They went to Yugi's grandpa's house to look at some new game or something. I never was the gamer. Wanna go get a pizza?"

"No, I really need to get home. I'm super late."

"Well, I've got nothing to do. I'll walk with you."

"No harm in that!" Anzu said, smiling. Besides, as it was often said, there is safety in numbers.

Doktor Faust: Hope I've gotten a little better! I was looking back through what I had posted, and I thought it sucked! P Maybe I should rewrite it. Anyway, glad to get back on this! Drop a review, please? I wanna know how this chappie went. Or if... y'know... anyone's still reading XD

Cuz I don't wanna update if no one's reading. That'd be pointless. XDXD

Thanks for reading, yo! Ja ne!
