LadyPhoenix99 - Lol, enjoy the chapter then
LoneGothic - May all your questions be answered in time
SilentMonkGirl - Think about it
panmotto - Not yet, but they will
InsaneShadowFan - Some people will pity her, others won't and you know what they say 'It's always the quiet ones', also this is a fan fiction. As for justifying Keith, I don't intend to do so. This story was and is meant to be Anzu's relationships developing, Keith is merely a secondary character introduced to give the story a background. I am not a professional writer and am in no way obligated to tie up loose ends. Plus, a lot of rapists rape because they find it exhilarating, use that as a reason if you want one that much. If you are not enjoying the story you don't have to keep reading it but I do thank you for your criticism
Chained and Torchered - No Ryou didn't take Anzu and I updated so please don't hurt me or I'll send my guardian angel after you
isissparklz - Lol, okay
Pandora Kattalikis - I don't like cliffhangers, they write themselfs. I have a chapter limit of 2 and 1/2 pages on word...the chapters just end

Notes: Um... I don't think the beginning of the chapter is very good but cute scene at the end for all the AnzuxRyou lovers out there
It was two days later and Anzu sat with her hands folded in her lap in one chair, Ryou next to her, both facing the head.
The man currently in charge of their school leaned forward and leaned his elbows on his desk, lacing his fingers and put his head on his hands. "Well," he said slowly, "this is a very serious accusation." Neither Anzu, nor Ryou said anything.
"And you say he dragged you through the west corridor Miss Mazaki?" she gave a feeble nod.
"You are aware we have a camera in that hall?" Anzu nodded, "Well we'll check the camera and tell you what we find." With a smile he bid the two farewell and they rose silently and departed from his office.
Ryou put an arm around Anzu, "Don't worry, he'll be on the camera and we'll have all the proof we need."
Needless to say, when Ryou and Anzu were called in later that day, it wasn't to be told Keith had been sacked, or better yet, imprisoned, but to give them detention. Apparently this was 'Shameful behaviour from you Anzu' and 'We don't expect you to take after your cousin Ryou'. They were shown the videotape through the time Anzu had said she was kidnapped but there were just students going about their normal days.
Ryou watched as Ushio walked through, a small boy trailing fretfully behind him. Thinking about it Ryou was sure he hadn't seen Ushio for the past couple of days. Then Keith walked past but there was no sign of Anzu.
---
They walked out in much lower spirits than they went in, Anzu nearly in tears and Ryou looking paler than usual. "How?" he murmured but Anzu only sobbed.
The pair moved off to go to lunch where they met Yami, Bakura and Marik. "How'd it go Anzu?" Yami asked casting a sparing glance at her tears.
"The tape's been forged, he was on there but just walking around, no Anzu in site, but how?" Ryou put his head in his hands.
"Ryou, what are you talking about?" Bakura sneered looking at his 'pathetic' cousin.
"The tape, it wasn't right, it made it look like Anzu was lying," Ryou ran his hands through his hair.
"But how is that possible, those things are filmed daily," Marik looked like all this thinking was hurting his brain.
"Did Keith show up on it at all because if he didn't," Bakura was then interrupted by Ryou.
"But he was on it, and Anzu-free no less, the only people that appeared to have wondered that corridor were Keith, Ushio and some little kid," Ryou mopped.
"Ushio?" Yami repeated raising one eyebrow, "wasn't he?" he looked at Bakura and Marik who nodded.
"What?" Ryou perked up, "Wasn't he what?"
"Well," Marik started, "Ushio hasn't been in all week, he was suspended because he beat some junior to a bloody pulp."
"But then…he couldn't have been on the tape," Ryou concluded.
"Are you sure it was Ushio?" Bakura asked.
"Of course I'm sure. I'd know him anywhere considering I had to put up with him for a year," Ryou grumbled not looking happy.
"Then we should say something," Yami suggested.
"No, Keith will have switched the tapes, if we say something he'll know you guys were in on it and he'll be really angry," Anzu protested.
Yami put an arm around Anzu's shoulders and pulled her to him, she blushed, "Don't worry Anzu, you'll have one of us with you at all times."
"No, you can't," Anzu suddenly looked panicky, "he'll hurt you to."
Yami turned her face to look at his with his hand at her chin, "Then we'll hurt him back sweetheart." Ryou glared at Yami, Bakura scowled and Marik smirked. Anzu sighed heavily realising it was impossible to argue.
---After school---
"You don't have to walk me home Ryou-kun," Anzu said quietly.
"I," he paused, "I wanted to."
She looked at him but he wouldn't meet her eye, that didn't mean she couldn't see him blush. An uncomfortable silence settled between the two and it agitated Anzu's already frazzled nerves.
"So, are you, going to the dance?" Anzu asked looking at Ryou as he slowly turned his head to look at her.
"What me? No," Anzu blinked, "I mean, it's not like I haven't been asked," he was slowly turning red, "but, I didn't, I mean I," he paused, "I just didn't want to go with any of them."
"Waiting for someone?" Anzu inquired quietly hoping and dreading the answer.
"Well, yeh, sorta. But I've got no chance, I mean, she's probably going with someone better, like Yami or someone," Ryou muttered as they turned through a gate to walk up to Anzu's house.
"Oh," Anzu sighed and licked her lips, "well, you know, I'd like to go and I'd prefer not to go alone."
"You mean you haven't ask anyone yet?" Ryou's eyes brightened and it didn't go unnoticed.
"No, actually, I've been meaning to ask them for a while now but I was sure that someone had already asked them," Anzu replied, leaning slightly against her front door.
"Really?" Ryou looked hopeful, "well, maybe they've been waiting for you to."
"Ryou-kun will you…will you go to the dance with me?" Anzu nervously fingered the hem of her skirt with her hands looking at Ryou who seemed to have gone into a state of shock. "Oh Ryou-kun, please say something, you don't have to come, I mean, I know there's that girl you want to ask you who's probably much better looking than I am but," she haltered, a finger was on her lips that wasn't her own.
"Anzu-chan, I was talking hypothetically about you," he smiled softly, "I would be honoured to be your date."
Anzu's face lit up like a light bulb in such a way that it hadn't done in days. I mean, she had a few good reasons to be happy; she had friends now, she was going to the dance with her first choice, her parents were coming home soon. The fact that her insane American near-rapist gym teacher was yet to be apprehended had seemed to escape her.
"Thank-you Ryou-kun," she then launched herself forward and hugged him tightly, burring her face in his shoulder. She didn't notice it when he shuddered at the feel of her breath on his neck. Ryou grinned and wrapped his arms around Anzu's waist and they stood there like that for a while until Anzu pulled away. Ryou looked faintly disappointed.
"Well I better get inside, school tomorrow and all," Anzu fumbled in her pocket for her keys and then moved to unlock the door but Ryou didn't move, he watched her as she hastily rammed the keys into the locks and opened the door.
Pushing it open and making to go inside, "Anzu!"
She turned and paused, halfway through the doorway, her keys still in one hand, "Yes?"
Ryou licked his lips in hesitation, "Anzu, may I," he fumbled there, he couldn't complete his sentences.
"May you what Ryou-kun?" she asked turning round to face him fully now, standing in the doorway.
"May I…kiss you goodnight?" Ryou went very read after this request and bowed his head so his hair could obscure his eyes.
Anzu blushed as well, "I shouldn't think you'd need to ask after…" she trailed off, "alright."
Ryou looked up, "What did you say?" his mouth had gone suddenly dry, he'd kissed a few girls before but it had never made him so nervous. His hands were shaking so he shoved them into his pockets.
"I said, 'alright'," Anzu replied smiling softly.
Ryou smiled back, a nervous smile, leaned forward and kissed her cheek before baking away. "Um…goodnight."
"Ryou…wait," he turned and Anzu walked up to him, leaning up and kissing him softly on the mouth. It was chaste and quick and as soon as it was over she ha rushed in doors and closed the door.
Ryou stood still, shocked for a moment before he grinned and moved away from the house. This was going to kill Bakura.
Has anyone else read Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince? The ending is so sad neh?
