Pairings: YamixAnzu, BakuraxAnzu, MarikxAnzu, RyouxAnzu
Notes: Well, it's the second to last chapter
---Saturday---
Mai had convinced Anzu to let her take her dress shopping so Anzu had gone to every dress, show and accessory store in Domino. She ended up with a pair of sapphire studded earrings, a pair of silver strappy sandals and a selection of blue and silver bangles. Her dress was a beautiful cerulean blue to match her eyes, with a low cut square neckline and elbow length sleeves that flared and rippled. The dress reached her knees and around the waist was a white sash. She also had a blue chocker and a silver anklet to complete the ensemble.
---Sunday---
Mai had called at around midday to tell Anzu that they would indeed be performing at her school. However, both this and Keith flew out of her mind when she realised that it was six o'clock and Ryou was going to pick her up at 7:30. She dashed to the bathroom and prayed that she would be ready on time.
---7:30---
The doorbell rang and Anzu took a deep breath, then she opened the door. Ryou looked positively charming in a black tux and white ruffled shirt with a cerulean blue tie.
She smiled at him, "We match."
Ryou smiled back and offered his arm, "My lady, our carriage awaits."
Anzu giggled and looped her arm through his, "Lead the way good sir," she replied playing along. She gasped when she saw a limo waiting for them, "Ryou-kun, how did you ever manage this?"
"Well, let's just say I pulled some favours neh…Anzu-chan?" Anzu beamed at him and Ryou grinned back, moving forward to open the door and usher her in with a little bow.
"It's wonderful," she replied and the rest of the short journey from Anzu's house to the school was spent in silence.
When they arrived at the school the dance had already started but as Anzu was taking in the decorations and food and the other students in all their glory she and Ryou were snatched at the doors. She turned around startled and glared, "Oh, it's you three," she looked at Yami, Marik and Bakura. Bakura wasn't looking happy and it was then that she realised that Bakura and Ryou matched perfectly.
"What's this about guys?" Ryou asked looking at them.
"We have a feeling Keith may try something and we don't mean like spiking the punch…we mean something bigger," Marik said leaning against a wall.
"Yeh, so we came up with a plan," Yami jumped in.
Anzu raised an eyebrow, "I think I've been subject to enough of your ideas thank-you," she took Ryou's hand which caused the other teen to blush.
"Mazaki," Bakura started and then corrected himself, "Anzu, we want to help this time…you know, like a sorry."
Ryou's eyes widened, "Anzu-chan, I think you've made them go soft."
"As a marshmallow," Marik said sarcastically.
"Anyway, we thought we could lure him into a trap," Yami suggested.
"Go on, I'm listening," Anzu said, "but I'm not agreeing to it."
Yami nodded, "Anyway, if we could get Bakura to swap places with Ryou for one dance then we could fool Keith into thinking Bakura was Ryou. Hence why they're dressed the same."
"Then what? Get him to follow Bakura and catch him on videotape?" Anzu finished, matching Marik's earlier sarcastic tone.
Yami blinked, "How did you know?"
"Oh come on, that's the most ridiculous plan I have ever heard, you should know by now that Keith's not a complete idiot. Like he'd fall for that."
Ryou squeezed her hand, "It couldn't hurt to try Anzu-chan, I mean, if it put that bastard away then you wouldn't have to worry."
"But I…Ryou-kun."
Ryou looked up as through the door came the one blond they all hated…Keith, "Go," he hissed shoving Anzu into Bakura who caught her before they both fell over.
"Well…" Bakura gestured to the centre of the hall where everyone was dancing, "shall we?"
Anzu glared at him, "If I must, I must," and reluctantly she let Bakura pull her on to the dance floor.
Yami and Marik watched as Keith's eyes swept the room before they landed on Anzu and Bakura. He smirked.
Just then, the song stopped and turned to another, Bakura made a show of talking to Anzu before walking out making sure to pass Keith with his head lowered. Yami and Marik watched, as did, unknown to them, Mai. Keith waited a few seconds before he too sneaked off…Yami and Marik followed soon after.
---Bakura---
Bakura stepped outside and leaned against a wall pulling a cigarette out of one pocket and a lighter out of the other. He stood stock still when he felt the cool metal of a gun pressed against his head, "Who's there?" he squeaked in his best imitation of Ryou.
"The Grim Reaper," Keith chuckled darkly at his own joke.
"What do you want from me?" Bakura's voice quivered…maybe he should join the drama club?
"I want to you to stay far away from Anzu Mazaki, do you hear me lover boy?" Keith demanded jerking Bakura's head with the gun tip as the safety clicked off.
"What's this got to do with Anzu?" Bakura inquired.
"Nothing you need to concern yourself with," Keith replied, "Now are you going to be a good little boy or do you need some persuasion?"
"What kind of persuasion?" Bakura asked gulping to imitate fear at the possible implications.
"I think you know what I mean. Think about it…what usually happens to pretty, innocent, defenceless creatures like you?" Keith sneered.
"I don't know, why don't you enlighten me?"
"My, my, haven't you got quite the tongue, maybe if I cut it out I'll get less lip," Keith laughed…Bakura didn't. "Perhaps that tongue of yours can be put to better use."
Bakura yelped for real when a hand fisted in his hair and jerked him roughly sending him to his knees in front of Keith. "Now, I think even you can guess what you have to do now to keep your brains in your head. You'll experience the same thing I made Anzu do," Keith laughed as he reached for his zipper while holding the gun to Bakura's head with his other hand.
"What the…no," Bakura made to pull back but jumped when a shot was fired into the ground next to him.
"Now, don't resist, it'll be easier if you just do what your teacher tells you boy, now take it out," Keith commanded.
"No," Bakura snarled before punching Keith in the family jewels. In his shock the other man fired his gun again and the bullet sank into Bakura's shoulder as Keith collapse to the floor clutching himself.
Bakura winced as Yami and Marik jumped out of a bush, a camera in Marik's hand. Yami went to Bakura's side immediately, "Bakura, are you okay?" blood began to soak into Bakura's clothes.
"Damn it," Bakura gasped, "this was a rental," his eyes were half lidded; the pain was more than he'd ever felt before.
A feminine gasp made Yami and Bakura look up and Marik pause in beating the shit out of Marik. There stood Anzu, a blond girl that none of the boys recognised and Ryuuji Otogi.
"Ryuuji call an ambulance, Mai, call the police," Anzu insisted as she ran over to where Yami was cradling Bakura just as several of the faculty and Ryou arrive.
"Bakura," Ryou gasped.
"What the? What's going on?" asked Miss Lavender; the biology professor, as she looked over the scene.
The only answer she received was the blaring of approaching sirens.Well...that's it...second to last chapter...nearly over. Keith got beat up and by Bakura and Marik no less. Bakura got shot for being a jerk, Yami went soft as a marshmallow, Ryou had to surrender his date and everything is happening so fast!
