WHY DOES LOVE HURT
~*~
Stretching, Anzu groggily climbed off the narrow futon, her feet pressing firmly against the sleek wooden floors. Placing a cupped palm over her plush lips she allowed the boarish heave, indicating unrelented slumber.

' I'm so tired......'

Gripping her temples softly she kneaded the stiff brows with deft fingers, rotating her palms in small, circular motions. Meekly she sauntered into the bathroom, her baggy attire swaying lightly with her svelte limbs. Sliding open the curtain, she twisted the bronze tinted knob, permitting the luke warm liquid to pour generously out.
Tilting her hand, she flexed her forefingers beneath the water, awaiting till the temperature reached a pleasurable heat. Doffing her sleep-ware she climbed over the dense bathtub, her hand lifting the gold tube, allowing beads of water to coax her weak muscles.
' I need to think of a plan before I medal with that baka onna...'

Grumbling he paced the mammoth building with aggitation, his pale features twisting into a dour expression, his brows knitted tightly together as he shufffled nervously with his fingers. Sighing he fell into a rectangular chair, coated in a thick, blood red material, decorated with gold engravings of ancient dragons.

Thrusting his head back, his lids slithered down his orbs, obscuring his enchanting, mystical eyes. Arching a fair brow he ruminated silently, his fingers tapping lightly atop the thin, rugged handles. His flushed lips became taut as he shuffled with the unrife amount of choices. Shaking his head he growled lightly under his rasped breath, his bangs stumbling over his forehead as he slumped forward, his torso gravitating slightly towards the carpeted floor as he gripped the sides of his temples.

' I'll become friends with her........'

Disgust implanted in his facade he scowled lightly, muttering vague obscenitites before he continued his pondering.

'..... after earning her trust I'll take what is rightfully mine.'

Chuckling huskily, he pushed his lean stature upward, forcing his body to stand in a proper position as he walked cavalierly towards the open window. The draperies swayed with each gust of wind flourishing wistuflly in the night skies. His white teeth peered from beneath the obscured room.

" Those fools will never know what hit them........that is.....until it's to late...."
Sighing softly, Anzu exited the bathroom, her hands ruffling the light blue towel tangled in the mass of chestnut locks atop her head. Allowing the soft cloth to drape limply over her shoulders, she apathetically donned on an approriate attire.

" Anzu!" Stumbling over a pair of shoes she pulled the door open, ignoring the swift breezes as they raced past her, her head extending outward as she glanced towards the isolated staircase.

" Hai Kaa-san?"
Grimacing lightly she ran down the curved staircase, her hand gliding down the marble handle with each advancing step. Upon entering the occupied kitchen, her mother wirled around quickly, her light cerulean orbs indicating impatience as a soft gasp released from her pursed lips, coated in a pink pigment.

" Are you alright Kaa-san?"
Shaking her head she stepped forward her hand pushing a strand of hair behind her earlobe.
" Your friend Yugi called....."

She stated turning slightly as she picked up an oval pan, emitting an enticing scent.

" He said something about meeting him and the others at his grandfathers work shop..."
Nodding her head, Anzu hastily raced up the narrow stairs, shunting the towels as she composed herself into a pleasant appearence, suitable for her friends.
Humming a light tune silently, Mrs.Mazaki stirred the rusted pan, allowing the plump pancakes to flip repeatively, before resting it atop the heated stove. Quirking a sable brow she ransacked the refridgerator, her hands rummaging thoroughly through the organized items. Mumbling vague curses beneath her breath, her pale hands looped around her hips, her facade indicating deprication. Permitting a heave to flutter from her parted lips she leaned against the granite counter, her hands tucking in the light yellow apron, decorated with roses, miscellaneous in shape and color.
" I'll see you later Kaa-san!"
Absentmindedly she waved her hand, her eyes fixated atop the white shelves embedded in the refridgerator.
Swiftly Anzu jogged down the narrow streets, occupied with large throngs, as men and woman chattered loudly in pairs, entering shops aligned along the sidewalk, as each headed towards their desired destination. Her blue bookbag bounced against her hip as she ran through the sidewalks, her flushed cheeks manifesting from over exertion. Panting lightly, her legs manuvered deftly as she exchanged direction, turning on the upcoming corner.

An immense pressure slammed into her upper torso as she fell backwards, her body succumbing to the dense cemented ground as she allowed a shriek to gurgle from her parched throat. Breathing heavily, her lids tentatively fluttered open, adapting to the diurnal light as it glided over her sheathed face. Looking up she adjusted her vision, squinting her eyes as she struggled to identify the light yellow blob hovering over her.

" Oy, baka onna........watch where your going."
' That voice...........why does that voice sound so familiar?'

" Marik!"

Voicing her rumination outwardly, she panicked frenzily, unheeding the sly smirk plastered over his taut mouth.

Gasping she fumbled beneath his slumped, lean stature. His slightly muscular arms wrapped possessively around her lower abdomen as he protected her lithe body from falling to the ground.
" Onegai, let me go."
" Iie......I have other plans for you my dear Anzu........."
