A/N: I'm back to updating and want to thank everyone who reviewed. I also have noticed that the angst has somehow disappeared and it will come back at full force now…
Chapter seven: Understanding
"You hold the answers deep within your own mind.
Consciously, you've forgotten it.
That's the way the human mind works.
Whenever something is too unpleasant, to shameful for us
to entertain, we reject it.
We erase it from our memories.
But the imprint is always there."
Anzu spent the day hiding from everyone. Ryou would not leave her side and Yugi was becoming annoying. She couldn't take it anymore and as the day let out, she ran home as fast as she could, knocking down a few people on her way but not caring at all. Her home seemed so far away and as it began to rain she headed towards the park deciding to wait for the rain to let up. The happiness she felt earlier that morning was becoming just a simple memory as the words she overheard earlier came back to her.
(Earlier during the day in the girls bathroom)
Anzu had just entered a stall in the girls bathroom when she heard someone else enter. By the sound of it there were two girls there. She had decided to ignore them until her name came up. "You know what they're up to right?" came the voice from one of the girls. "No, what?" answered the other one. "Isn't it obvious? They made some sort of bet or something. Why would two of the hottest guys in the school all of a sudden like her just like that?" "You're right, that has to be it. I mean Mazaki isn't exactly a beauty queen."
(Can't wash it all away)
(Can't Wish it all away)
(Can't hope it all away)
(Can't cry it all away)
Anzu had spent the next period hiding in there crying until she could cry no more. It made sense, perfect sense. Ryou and Yugi had decided just like to like her? That was not believable. They were just toying with her and she had almost fallen for it. They were all the same, each and every one of them. They were liars and jerks and didn't deserve to be near her. No, it was she who didn't deserve them. They were right to hate her, even she hated herself.
The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual
Shame we hide our eyes
To blind them from the truth
That finds a way from who we are
Malik had been making his way home before the rain had begun to fall. Now his groceries lay on the ground. A brunette wearing a Domino High uniform had bumped into him and he had barely had time to register what had happened before she was gone. He had recognized her as Anzu, how could he have not. After everything that his other half had done, it would be hard to forget. He cursed the fact that he had forgotten his cell phone at his place, well Ryou's place to be exact. He only contributed with a few of the utilities since his job didn't pay that well. But Ryou didn't seem to mind so he was fine with it.
Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence
This I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth my final time
He would now have to go after her and make sure that she was okay if not Ryou would have his head, literally. He found her finally in the park. He should've known she would be here. Ryou had told him numerous times about her visits to the park and how she cried there. But because of the rain it was hard to tell if she was crying or not. He approached her slowly as to not scare her. But as soon as she saw him, she dashed towards the back entrance to the park. He cursed his luck as he knew this are all too well.
"We're supposed to try and be real.
And I feel alone, and we're not together. And that is real."
A local Domino gang hung out there and even though it was daytime, he knew that that would not stop them from having their fun. He ran after her and was angered at the sight. Five guys were surrounding her and one had a knife. He cursed that he did not have his dagger with him and went forward. The guys saw him and the one with the knife held her to him, the knife at her throat. The others advanced on him only to be pummeled, though knifeless he was still a tough one to beat down. The one with the knife held her closer, earning a whimper from her as the knife grazed her neck.
Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away
"You're not alone, honey."
"Never... Never."
Malik approached them and was surprised to see the guy push her down and take off. Anzu fell into Malik's arms unconscious. He carried her home earning him weird looks from the on goers. When he reached his place he braced himself for Ryou's reaction. He knew that it would not be pleasant.
Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away, No
"But the imprint is always there. Nothing is ever really forgotten."
"Because I'll die if you do."
"Because I'll die if you do."
"Because I'll die if you do."
"Because I'll die if you do."
"Because I'll die if you do."
Misery: So like it? Tell me but no flames. I hope you all liked it 'because I did. The lack of angst was getting to me and I had to take it back to its roots. Review…
