Title: Where will you go

Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh or Breaking Benjamin
A/N: Thanks for the reviews and I'm sorry if the last chapter was sort of rushed (noted by a reviewer) but I'm pressed for time as I've clearly indicated before and it's hard to make them longer and more detailed with a minimal amount of time. Forgive grammar errors as the time I have doesn't exactly allow me to check it. I am updating by using my college computer and I only have an hour and a half in between classes to do so, so please forgive me for that. Also when I stated that she belonged (to) him, I meant just that. Ryou is becoming more possessive of her and well you'll see…
Chapter Ten: "Rain on My Parade"
Take a photograph,
It'll be the last,
Not a dollar or a crowd could ever keep me here,
Anzu made her way home drenched from the rain. She kept pushing away thoughts of Ryou and his pretense of not knowing what was wrong with her. 'How stupid does he think I am? For how long was he planning on messing with me?' she thought as she passed the game shop and saw the gang inside. She hurried away not wanting to see Yugi at all. He was the worst of all. He had treated her like dirt after the whole ceremonial battle. He hadn't been able to cope with her past feelings for Yami at all. It wasn't her fault that she had fallen for Yami instead of him, but he shouldn't have been so upset since Yami had never shown any interest in her.
She had once thought that maybe there could be something between them but after their first failed date orchestrated by Yugi himself, she saw how they could never work. They were too different. Yami had always been full of pride and had been strong. She could never measure up to that. She was weak and shy and would never be able to stand up to anyone on her own. The gang had always been there for that. Tristan and Joey always kept away the creeps that approached her and Yugi was always there to comfort her. When the spirits returned to ancient Egypt she lost more than a former crush, she lost everything. The gang, it seems, only put up with her because of Yami, without him here they were free to torment her to their hearts delight.
Anzu hated the fact that she had always put up with their teasing and torture. She had not once dared to defy them or go against what they wanted. She had insulted Kaiba more than once though she had never wanted to, covered for Joey's and Tristan's pranks and taken detention for it. Her parents had abandoned her and she had not said a word against it. Her dreams of dancing were well in the past without a single protest and now she was all alone with no one to blame but herself.
I don't have a past
I just have a chance,
Not a family or honest plea remains to say,
The rain didn't seem to be letting up as Anzu let herself into her home. The house of course was empty; the only thing to greet her was the hallway light. She turned it off and made her way to her room at the last corner of the hallway. She turned on the light only to begin crying again as she looked at the pictures taken before the ceremonial battle. 'Tristan, Joey, Serenity, Duke, Yugi and Ryou' they were all there smiling as though they were all the best friends in the world. 'Friends' she thought bitterly. She didn't need friends. For some reason that reminded her of Bakura, Ryou's Yami. He had been so cruel and cold, how she wished she could be like he was. That also brought tears to her eyes. She had never hated him like the others did. She had understood his pain and why he wanted to make Yami suffer. Though she did not agree with what means he used she could relate to wanting to get revenge on the person who destroyed your life.
She had never wished for him to suffer as Malik also did. She had been terribly upset about him taking over her body during battle city but she didn't hold it against him. She knew that he, like Bakura, had been hurt by the past and was only trying to seek revenge. She now owed Malik her life and also the shower mirror. She would call him up tomorrow and find a way to repay him, as long as she would be nowhere near Ryou. The last thing that she wanted was to be near him and have to hear his lies. 'If only it wasn't so' she thought miserably as she got under the covers and drifted off to sleep.
Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.
Ryou decided to head back home and prayed that Anzu was alright. He would walk over in the morning and speak to her and clear up the entire situation. He opened the front door only to see a very pissed off Malik blocking his way. 'Well where is she?" he all but screamed at Ryou. "I don't know" "What do you mean you don't know?" screamed Malik as he grabbed Ryou by his shirt and held him up. "I said I don't know" replied Ryou shoving Malik away from him. "I lost her when I took a short cut" "Well, what you are planning on doing?" "Nothing for now. I'll go over in the morning and talk to her. Maybe she'll want to speak to me then after she gets some rest" With that Ryou made his way towards his room and went to sleep. Malik remained downstairs thinking over the night's happenings and wondered whether or not Ryou and Anzu would work things through.
Morning came and Ryou woke up earlier than usual. It was already five and he was getting dressed to go over and see Anzu. Malik, he noted, was asleep on the couch. He left him a note to make sure that the psycho didn't go after him and proceeded out the front door. A chilled breeze hit him face first and he regretted waking up so early but there was not turning back now. He had to talk to Anzu and clear things up. He had been so close to keeping her and now he swore not to lose her to anyone.
Is it you I want,
Or just the notion
Of a heart to wrap around so I can find my way around
Anzu snuggled deep into the covers as her alarm sounded throughout the house. She cursed loudly as it kept shrieking and threw it against the floor. She buried her head under a pillow and proceeded to keep sleeping. Ten minutes later a ringing could be heard. She knew it to be the doorbell and tried to ignore it as much as possible. It stopped after a while and she hoped that whoever had been there had already left.
Safe to say from here,
Your getting closer now,
We are never sad cause we are not allowed to be
Ryou made his way to Anzu's house and proceeded to ring her doorbell. After five minutes with no answer he gave up on that idea and decided to try a different approach, one that only the best thieves or their lights could accomplish. He made his way to the back of her house and tried to jimmy the lock. When that failed, he pulled out metal steering pliers and gave it a go on the door's lock. It opened in less than ten seconds and he let himself in the house. He could tell that she was not up as the entire home was freezing cold and there was no sign of daily morning activities such as breakfast or coffee.
Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.
He listened to any sound he would hear and made his way through the house very slowly as he still did not know what room was hers. He had finally searched each room until he landed upon the last one with a light blue door sign. 'This must be hers' he thought stating the obvious and cursing himself for it at the same time. He opened it very slowly, as to not awake her or startle her if she were awake, and saw a bundle under a huge light blue comforter. 'The possibilities' he thought but scolded himself for it. She would be furious if he tried anything, especially now after what had happened last night.
Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.
He made his way towards the bed and gazed upon her while she slept. He smiled to himself as he caressed her face softly remembering how happy he had once seen her. Ryou went to leave deciding it best to let her come to him at her own time. Not wanting to pressure her into telling him what had happened, she would do that when she felt it was right. After all, she couldn't hate him as he had done nothing to harm her. He would kill himself before doing so. She was his reason for living, his only notion for not destroying the world as his former Yami had wanted to.
To lie here under you,
Is all that I could ever do,
To lie here under you is all,
To lie here under you is all that i could ever do,
To lie here under you is all,
Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.
Ryou stood up but before he could move another step Anzu spoke: "Ryou, why would you do that? What did I do wrong?" He had turned with the full intention to tell her she had done nothing like him but what had he saw made his heart break. Anzu was speaking in her sleep and crying. He couldn't bear to see her like that. Ryou made his way to her bed and lay upon it. He brought her into his arms and proceeded to hug her until he calmed down. What he hadn't intended was to fall asleep there right when Anzu was waking up.
Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun,
All the world is waiting for the sun,
All the world is waiting for the sun
