Chapter Eleven: Trouble
Anzu entered the dark mansion. Not totally dark. The soft, dim glow of the night lights along the wall helped her find the way upstairs. She found the door to her room and went inside, snapped on the light. Then she collapsed on the bed.
There was a sudden, sharp rap on the door. "Anzu?"
She got up, and opened the door for her father. He came in, and said, "Where were you?"
Should not tell him about... "We went downtown." It was the truth, half of it.
"Do you know what time it is?!"
Ulp. Anzu sneaked a glance at her clock. It felt like an anvil had dropped into her stomach. "Eleven sixteen..."
"You should have been home by ten." Seto Kaiba's voice took on an ominous tone. "Couldn't you have called, Anzu?" She didn't answer. "What were you doing with those boys?"
Shitshitshitshitshit... "Um...I...er..." Damn! "..."
His face glared down at her. "You've been lying to me, haven't you?"
A second anvil fell.
"Anzu—"
She snapped.
"You know what? This is why Mother left you! Because you're a cold-hearted bastard!" Anzu ran out of her room.
She tasted salt on her lips as she flew past blurred carpet and wall. Didn't notice Mokuba peeking out through a door that was slightly ajar.
And it closed, quickly, silently, as a stormy Seto Kaiba strode out of another room, slamming the door behind him.
Out the mansion. Down an empty, lamplit street. A few cars on the side of the road. Dark houses.
She sobbed freely, disturbing no one. Tears dripped down, hitting the pavement. Keep walking.
Driveways, more unoccupied cars, a fence here and there.
Anzu breathed in the night air, trying to calm herself. Little by little, her cry subsided. Keep walking.
Traffic lights, electric poles. Shops, parking lots, the mall. Stopping at an intersection, a few cars.
It seemed familiar, this path she was following. Ah, she remembered. This sidewalk led to the alley where she'd met Yami and the gang... Anzu sat down on the curb.
She looked up at the night sky, in its starred glory. A smooth, endless blanket of black, pierced here and there with silver lights. The white moon was half full, like a bleached lemon slice seen sideways.
All was silent. But not peaceful.
Definately not peaceful.
A rough hand clamped around Anzu's mouth, startling her out of her reverie. Someone whispered in her ear, "You're gonna pay for what you did, bitch."
Who—? A fast turnabout—facing her captor—and it was...
Ryuuji Otogi.
He smirked. "It's dangerous at night. Who knows what could happen to you right now..." Otogi swiftly brought his mouth down on hers. Anzu's eyes went large in shock.
His hand snaked under her shirt. She froze, stiffened. Knew what was going to happen.
Thought it would be the day she first walked past that alleyway. No.
It was here.
All instincts fled. Everything Ryou had taught her, left, as panic overtook this girl. Except for one thing; one voice remaining, saying something over and over. Must listen to it.
So she broke Otogi's kiss. And screamed.
"Shut up!" He slapped her. A shuffling was heard aways over.
"What the hell's going on over there?"
"Rape!" Anzu cried.
More footsteps. A person with messy blond hair. "Anzu? Wait a minute..."
A second voice. "Hey, Malik, who's there?"
"Ryou, get your ass over here!" Malik glared in the dark. "Otogi, you should know better than to mess with Anzu. We've got her back."
Otogi snickered. "Last time I checked, Yami and your other dogs were dead drunk." He pulled the girl closer.
"But I'm not." Ryou? "And neither is Malik. Let her go, Otogi."
Otogi paled. "Take your bitch," He said nastily. He backed off.
"Not so fast!" Malik snarled, giving chase. They heard more shouts and curses down the street.
Anzu sank down to her knees, weakly. "Did he...?" Ryou didn't finish the sentence. He knelt down and put an arm around her shoulder, comforting her.
"No..." she said, staring at the cement. "But he would have..."
Malik came back a few minutes later, but it seemed like eternity. "Anzu, you'd better get back home," he said. "What were you doing out here anyway?"
"I got in a fight with my dad," Anzu answered. "I can't go back now."
"Is there anywhere else you could go?"
"Ummm..." Where? Possibly... "Maybe Shizuka could help."
"Who's Shizuka?"
Ryou answered that. "Isn't she Bakura's girlfriend?"
"Bakura has a girlfriend?" at the same time as someone else's "Yes, she is."
"Yami's still out cold." said the voice of Bakura. Anzu raised an eyebrow. "After you left, he got in a fist fight with some American guy named Keith. We had to knock Yami out before he killed the man. He's in our alley over there."
"We're going to escort you to Shizuka's house," Ryou said. "Can't have Otogi coming back."
Princess F: I didn't like writing that.
