The song is "Gangsta Lovin'" by EVE and Alicia Keys.
And there's a teeny crossover. ^-^
The fight scene is messed up. So sue me.

Chapter Ten: The Other Gangs of Domino
I just wanna rock you
All night long, ohh
I wanna rock you
I just wanna rock you
All night long, ohh
The two on the motorcycle sped down the streets. Anzu could feel her hair blowing in the wind, as lights, cars, and people flew past them.
Malik was very solid. Muscular. She could tell under the shirt. He'd been wearing a crisp, clean white shirt, with—get this—a tie. Ha, she'd thought. But in truth, he did look pretty cute...
His blonde hair went wild in the air. It was kind of funny; she guessed he looked sort of like a madman from the front. He smelled good too.
Yo, need you to understand me Daddy
I ain't ya average baby girl
Doin' it dawg, I'm well established
I ain't tryin to lead ya on
Just wanna ask if ya might wanna
Gimme ya name, it's on your status
Ya know I see ya time to time
You seem available
Don't mean s___
I know these b______ wanna settle you
Gotta say you on my short list, a few
Them other dudes is OK
But I'm feelin' you
Want ya in the best way
So whatchu gone do about it
Why don't you just test me
You won't wanna do without it
No I'm comin' at you hard
Meetin' a thug
And I ain't givin' up
Till I get that gangsta love
Anzu swept her thoughts aside, as they stopped. A small place, with a sign that said 'OPEN' in a window. She hopped off the bike, and Malik wheeled it over to the side where a few other motorcycles were parked.
Inside. Aha, it was a bar. Dimly lit, and a bit crowded. But there were quite a few people. Heads turned as the brown haired girl walked in. And they turned right back around when Malik put his hand on her shoulder and gave them death glares.
In the far corner, who did she see but Yami, Ryou, Marik, and Bakura. Malik led the way towards them. As they sat down, Anzu noted that there were quite a few empty bottles...
"Hey sweet cheeks," Yami said, his words a bit vague.
Bakura snickered as Anzu reddened. He downed a shot.
A girl dressed in a tight top and black miniskirt came over. "Hey Malik, can I get you somethin'?"
Malik shook his head. "No thanks, Tifa," he said. "We've got a lady here."
"How 'bout you?" Tifa asked Anzu.
"Nothing for me," Anzu answered. Tifa cleared away the empty glasses and bottles.
"Girl," she said, in a low whisper, "You've got a good catch there. Don't let 'em go."
I just wanna rock you
All night long, ohh
I wanna rock you
I just wanna rock you
All night long, ohh
Bakura and Marik's drinking contest was getting out of hand. Anzu turned away from them, in time to see a guy with long black hair and a red headband stroll into the bar. "That's Ryuuji Otogi," said a voice near her ear, making her jump. "He's the leader of our main rival gang. Yami hates his guts."
And Ryuuji Otogi was coming their way.
I know you see me this night that night
Always my s___ tight
Hair done, outfit crazy
Skirts fit just right
Wife beater wit' a bangin' tan
Walk in demandin' all lines
Baby here I am
Ain't ashamed of my frame
And I know your watchin'
Puttin on a show for you Pop
And I ain't stoppin
Lotta action and ya horny
And you gonna too
Only thing to make it better though
Is me wit' you
And I know your feelin' that
Regardless of your frontin'
And I heard through the streets
It was me you wantin'
Lemme find out you shy or somethin'
But I know your not
So stop the game and the proches
You really not
He smirked at Yami and the others, before cupping Anzu's chin in one hand and looking at her. He seemed ready for something, and Anzu froze deep inside. But she stared hard back into those arrogant green eyes, daring him...
Otogi let go of her. "So, Motou, who's slut is she?"
Slap.
"What did you just call me?" Anzu stood up in a split second, almost knocking their table over. Her hand stung with the impact of the blow. She glared at the gang-leader.
Behind her, someone gave a low whistle. "Otogi just made his last."
Four other people got up from a table at the other side of the bar. They wove their way through the onlookers. A pretty threatening bunch. Besides Otogi there was:
A guy who could've been a larger, tanned version of Otogi. Oh, but he had shorter spikier hair, and was wearing blue instead of red and black.
Two extremely short dudes with green hair. One of them was wearing large round-lensed glasses and was quite freaky looking, a bit like a hairy beetle. The other was also freaky. He wore a...pink...? shirt and had the same mean-scary-stuckup expression like all the others.
The last one had a red ski hat over untamed brown hair. He was only a few inches taller than Beetle-face. Again, they were all a scary looking crowd.
The boys (Yami, Bakura, Marik, Malik, and Ryou, mind you) rose out of their seats. After a few minutes of silence, Yami said, "Let's take this outside, Otogi."
I just wanna rock you
All night long, ohh
I wanna rock you
I just wanna rock you
All night long, ohh
They headed out the bar to a deserted street. Yami's gang at one end, Otogi's at the other.
"All right," Yami said. "This is how it goes: Ryou and I will take Otogi. Bakura, you get Kajiki. Marik, Haga. Malik, you and Anzu take Ryuuzaki and Roba. Don't worry, Anzu, Roba's a real pushover. He's the one in the er...pink."
Oh that one.
OK, numbers exchanged
Now it's in play
Shouldn't a took you so long
In the first place
I'm just playin' cutie
Yeah you knew ya call
No it's cool
You ain't gotta see me in my flaws
I'm a big girl
But you'll find out
Stuck for me
While I drop top and ride out
Wheels spinnin'
Wanna know what shorty all about
But it's cool, I'm doin'
And these words is comin' out my mouth:
"Okay, guys—and girl—let's mix this up!"
Marik snorted. "Can't you ever say anything cool, Yami? It's a real embarrassment sometimes. It goes something like this: LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!"
It's that gangsta, gangsta lovin'
That just got me buggin'
It's that gangsta, gangsta lovin'
That just got me buggin'
Evidently, that was the cue. The two sides met in the middle, and the big fight started. Anzu hung back, watching for Roba. There he was. She started forward. Malik went with her. "Ryuuzaki is right in front of him, let's go."
Roba saw them first. He went into a defensive stance while Ryuuzaki helped Haga by kicking Marik in the shins. Malik punched him. "Your fight is with me."
Anzu launched a front snap kick to Roba's stomach. He blocked it with the forearm, and lashed out with his own. Anzu slid to the side, but the kick grazed her arm, anyway. She hurled a fist at him only to be blocked again. It became a sort of endless dance: attack, block, counter-attack, dodge, attack, block, and so on.
I just wanna rock you
All night long, ohh
I wanna rock you
I just wanna rock you
All night long, ohh
And then, she remembered what Ryou had said during her lessons. "With forearm blocks, you stop a direct hit to the front. So see, if you can aim an attack to their side, the forearm block is useless."
But Ryou hadn't taught her any kicks like that, and the side piercing kick would be directed towards the front of Roba. Though...
Nobody said anything about making up her own kick. Anzu moved aside again, and stopped on the asphalt. Left foot for balance. Right foot perpendicular to it. Arms up, in defense. Knee up, twist the leg, and kick.
She caught him near the ribs. Roba gasped, and stumbled a little. Front snap kick, and it was over for him. "I guess Yami was right."
She looked at the others. Malik had taken Ryuuzaki down and was currently teaming up with Bakura to beat down on the Otogi-wannabe...Kajiki? Marik was doing fine.
Ryou and Yami were on either side of Otogi. They were evenly matched.
So Anzu decided to tip the scales a bit.
I wanna rock you baby
I wanna hold you baby
Why won't you be my baby
I wanna be ya lady
I wanna rock you baby
I wanna hold you baby
Won't you be my baby
I wanna be ya lady, yeah yeah
Ryou did one of his flying kicks. He hit Otogi squarely on the chest. Ryuuji Otogi stepped back, ready for his comeback attack.
But stepping back was his mistake.
Because Anzu was there.
Baby lemme rock wit' you (it's gangsta gangsta)
Ya know I wanna rock wit' you (gangsta gangsta)
Baby lemme rock wit' you (the A-N-Z)
Ya know I wanna rock wit' you (A. Mazaki, gonna rock you)
Baby lemme rock wit' you
Ya know I wanna rock wit' you (it's gangsta gangsta)
Baby lemme rock wit' you (gangsta gangsta)
Ya know I wanna rock wit' you
(It's gangsta, gangsta love, ooh)
Ya know I wanna rock wit you
The other guys winced.
"Last thing," she said, standing over the stunned leader with her hads on her hips. "I am nobody's slut."
Marik whooped. "Yeah-hah! Ball-kicker Anzu strikes again!"
***
Bakura waved. Yami was too drunk to notice. Marik winked.
"Do you know your way back?" Ryou asked her.
"Er... no." she admitted.
Ryou and Malik both got up. "I'll take you." They looked at each other and shrugged.
***
The ride seemed so short after the events of the night.
It only seemed like seconds before they stopped at the front gates of the Kaiba Mansion. Anzu waved goodbye as the two boys sped off again.
Then she went in.
Baby lemme rock wit' you.
