Thanks to all who reviewed and you should know that I wasn't planning on updating but did since I had nothing else to do but mope around with a broken heart. I updated my other stories too so check 'em out.

Chapter Six: Hidden Agenda:

Marik approached Anzu's sleeping form with caution; he knew that she had the crystal so he had to be extra careful not be harmed. 'She looks so beautiful while asleep' he thought immediately scolding himself for thinking such thoughts. He was only using her but why was he so attracted to her. Of course she was beautiful but there was beauty everywhere and eventually beauty fades, but the thing that bothered him was the fact that he didn't want to harm her. He could of course; he had the power, yet he found himself wanting to protect her. She had lived such a horrible life and he wanted to make it better. He pushed all these thoughts aside as he left her room, closing the door softly behind him.

Dream Sequence:

Anzu was going through a very dark tunnel, there was nothing around her only her voice echoing against the walls. She kept asking for help, for anyone to take her to the light. 'Not everything is as it seems' came a chilling voice from behind. She felt chills as though someone had just touched her. The voice echoed again only this time it was as though it were right next to her. She frantically looked around but there was nothing there. Of course that wasn't what the voice kept saying. She began to scream as she felt the voice inside her head. It kept pounding her as though it was trying to get out. "LET ME OUT"

End of Dream Sequence…

Anzu shot up right out of bed, looking around as though someone was about to attack her. She saw Bakura standing in her doorway looking somewhat concerned. She immediately grabbed a hold of her locket. "Is there something special about that?" he asked motioning to her locket. She looked hesitantly at him before thinking that she could trust him. "Well, it was my mother's. The only thing that I have left to remind her. My father said that it would keep me safe" she ended, feeling as though that had been that lamest thing that she had ever said.

Bakura merely raised an eyebrow to her answer but accepted it. He motioned for her to follow him and when she stayed put he let out an exasperated sigh, " Breakfast is ready" This time she did follow him, as she was very hungry. They made their way down the main staircase and into a small dining room. When she saw that Marik wasn't around, she felt sad but didn't know why. It made no sense for a master to eat with a slave even if he had done so before and told her that she wasn't to be treated as a slave. Bakura seemed to have caught on because he whispered to her mentally, 'He left early but I'm in charge of keeping you safe and in order' She nodded but didn't really understand what he had meant by 'in order' She sat down next to Bakura and grimaced at the food. This was going to be a very long breakfast.

Misery: So like it? Tell me but remember no flames. I need your support for mending a broken heart. Please review and excuse the short chapter and lack of revising grammar. No idea when next update will be.
