Kaya: Ok, here's chapter two!
Sheekin: Special thanks to Nightfall2525, Kitsune's Grrl, Tormented Innocence, and Angel for reviewing!
Bakura: She doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh by the way.
Kaya: At least I don't think I do…
Sheekin: Let's hope she doesn't.
Sanu: onto the fic!
Anzu awoke with a gasp of breath. She opened her eyes and stared around her. She was lying on her bathroom floor, dripping wet and wrapped in a towel. She had definitely not been here when she fell asleep. She looked over the side of the tub. It had been drained, but not the way it was supposed to be. She noticed the drain at the bottom of the tub had been ripped out. Anzu groaned. "Another thing to replace…" she said, annoyed.
"Oh, you're awake?" said a voice from behind her.
Anzu nearly jumped out of her towel. Looking behind her, she saw Bakura standing there, his shirt soaking wet. "Where did you come from?" she asked.
"You told me to come here at seven, so I did, not that I wanted to, but still."
Anzu clapped a hand to her forehead. "That's right, I knew I was forgetting something! But I don't remember getting out of the tub," she said, confused.
"Well, I rang the doorbell forever, and when you didn't answer I let myself in. I walked upstairs looking for you, and I saw the bathroom light on, so I went in. Your head was submerged. You were drowning, so I pulled you out," he said.
Oh, so that's where the water stains came from, Anzu thought, looking at Bakura. "I was drowning? I don't recall…"
"Most victims of a drowning do not even know they are drowning, for they are usually unconscious. Pretty much, they go to sleep and never wake up," he said.
Anzu squeaked. She would have died, and not even known she had died! Anzu always had a fear of never waking up.
Something dawned on her. "Bakura, if you pulled me out of the tub…does that mean…you saw me naked?" she asked slowly.
Bakura blinked and shrugged. "Yeah, I did," he said calmly.
Anzu went red. "Y-You saw my….my…."
"Yes, I did. What's the problem?"
"YOU COULD'VE AT LEAST CLOSED YOUR EYES!" Anzu yelled, growing redder by the moment.
Bakura looked taken aback. Why was Anzu getting all offended? It's not like he hadn't seen women naked before…it was natural to him. Maybe that's why girls and boys had separate locker rooms at school. Maybe that was why he was hit by ten perfume bottles when he went to change with the ladies…
Anzu hitched up the towel as she stood up. She grabbed her clothes and pushed Bakura out of the bathroom. "You stay outside while I get changed. In the meantime, try and see if you can do any of the homework problems by yourself," she said, slamming the door on him, still red.
Bakura stood there, staring at the bathroom door. "Ra, she didn't have to be so offended. I mean, she did have a nice body," he said.
Anzu came out of the bathroom a little while later and went into her room only to find her textbook in Bakura's mouth. She screeched and ran to him, grabbing the book and tearing it out of his mouth.
"What do you think you're doing?" she yelled, grabbing her bed sheets and wiping Bakura's saliva off of her book.
"It's….so…difficult…I know it's mocking me…those damn….numbers are laughing at me…" Bakura breathed, shaking a fist at the notebook.
"That doesn't give you the right to eat it! What am I supposed to tell the teacher tomorrow? 'Oh, sorry Mrs. Fukamora, I couldn't get my homework done because Bakura ate my textbook.' Oh, sure, she'd buy that totally," Anzu said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
Bakura was still muttering curses under his breath. Anzu slammed the book down in front of him. He yelled out in surprise and went toppling backwards out of his chair. He got up, grumbling, two minutes later.
"What in the name of Anubis was that for?" he growled, seating himself back on the chair.
"For not paying attention," she said simply. "Now, let us begin."
She opened up the textbook. "Ok, the Pythagorean Theorem. In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the length of the legs. Or, even easier, A squared plus B squared equals C squared.. Following?"
"I think," Bakura said.
"Good. Now, let us start with this easy one. This right triangle has two numbers, 3 and 4. They are both the measurements of the legs. The bottom leg is B and the side one is A. Can you fit that into an equation?" Anzu asked.
"Uh….3 squared plus…4 squared…equals C squared? Hey, they're missing the C! Error! Damn editors, they should've notice that," Bakura pointed out.
Anzu sighed. "No, Bakura, they missed the C on purpose. We have to find the C. Now, 3 squared plus 4 squared equals what?"
"7?"
"Bakura, remember what squared means?" Anzu asked.
Bakura pondered for a moment. "….Multiply the number by itself, right?" he asked.
"Good job! So what does it add out to?" Anzu asked.
"3 squared is….6? No, 9…and 4 squared is 16…so C equals 25," Bakura said, growing more confident.
"Great job! But it is C squared, so you need to make is just regular C. How do you do that?" Anzu asked him.
"Um…..divide by 2?"
"No, it's like…it's like the opposite of squaring," Anzu said.
"….Square root!" Bakura exclaimed triumphantly. "So the square root of 25 is…5. C equals 5, so the hypotenuse is 5."
Anzu clapped. "Good job Bakura, you see? It's not that hard," she said.
Bakura looked proud. "This stuff isn't as hard as it sounds," he said. "Not only did I figure out the Theorem thingy, but I also saved your life? Is there nothing I can't do?" he asked.
Anzu stared at him with narrowed eyes. Now he's becoming egotistic again…
About an hour later, Bakura had finished his homework and had it checked by Anzu. He had asked for her help countless times, but he managed to figure it out. She did a lot better than Anzu expected, he only got 3 wrong. Bakura was in one of his rare moods, cheery.
"You are doing great, Bakura! I know you'll ace the test on Friday like that!" Anzu said, snapping her fingers.
"A test? Heh, I've robbed tombs surrounded by hundreds of guards! This will be nothing compared to that!" Bakura said, hitting the table with his fist.
Anzu giggled at his enthusiasm. She looked at the clock and noticed it was well past nine. "I think you should go," she said, smiling at him.
"Yeah," he said, standing up and grabbing his math homework. While walking to the door, he slipped on one of her magazines and fell over, cracking his head against the wall.
Anzu winced at the sound and in a split second her magazine was on fire. She shrieked and started to stomp on it while Bakura rubbed his head. "Ra damnit to Keket, she has cursed your room with evil," he growled.
He grinned, much to Anzu's surprise. "You always complain about the condition of the boy's rooms," he said, "but I think your room could top theirs," he said.
"Oh, don't tell," she said, smiling, "it would take the fun out of yelling at them."
"My lips are sealed…provided you give me the steak in your fridge," he said.
"What! I was planning on having that for dinner…ah fine, help yourself," she said.
He left with a package of steak in his hands. Anzu wondered whether if he would eat it raw or cook it for Ryou, whom he lived with. She shut the door when he was at the end of the driveway. She turned around and went back up to her messy room and flopped back down onto the bed. "Whew!" she exclaimed, "What a night! I can't believe I would've drowned…it was awfully nice of Bakura to save me…of course, now I have to replace my drain," she said, sighing.
She realized something, too, as she was lying there—it was the first time she had been with Bakura, and they hadn't fought.
Bakura: Yes, she doesn't hate me! When can I jump into bed with her?
Sheekin: -.- horny freak…
Kaya: R and R people!
Sanu: Here's our Egyptian History Lesson for the day!
Ra – The god of the sun. Supposedly the king of the gods. For Bakura, he uses Ra's name in place of God.
Anubis – The god of the dead. Used in place of Hell, as they did not call it hell in Egypt back then.
Keket – The goddess of darkness.
Kaya: An example of using it in a sentence—R AND R PEOPLE OR I'LL BLAST YOUR RA-DAMNED ASSES TO ANUBIS SO YOU CAN HAVE DINNER WITH KEKET!
Sheekin, Bakura, Sanu: -.-
