A/n: Hello and welcome to chapter one of forever in light. This is my third chapter fic. In the previous installment forever in darkness" Seto Kaiba kidnapped Anzu by orders from pharaoh. In the end pharaoh went to jail, Seto began to mend his broken heart, and Anzu began to date both Ryou and Bakura who were separated. I would like to thank all who reviewed my other fic, and anyone in the future who reviews this.
Nightfall2525: that is a very interesting idea. I'm only sure of the outcome of the plot at the moment though so I'll keep it in mind. Thank you.
Forever in Light: When we begin to understand

Anzu eyed the two suspiciously Friday morning as they were huddled on the couch, obviously doing something they knew they weren't supposed to.
She quietly snuck up behind them and quickly covered her mouth to stop from laughing as she saw her new Frederick's of Hollywood catalog in Bakura's hand.
He and Ryou were giggling like little girls while Bakura read some of the captions.
"Listen to this one! 'Take seduction to the next level and captivate the man of your dreams in this sexy satin and mesh nightgown. Comes with a pair of matching thong underwear.' I think I like it best in white...it's more see-through that way, don't you think?"
Ryou shook his head thoughtfully.
"She's just going to take it off anyway, coral is more her color. Besides it's less fun when you can see everything right away."
Bakura laughed and flipped the page.
"Oh...Ryou I think I'm gonna pass out! I can defiantly see her in this! 'White crushed velvet corset top. You'll catch his eye faster than a flame in this lace up corset top and matching thong underwear. This will keep his eyes on you the whole night...along with every other mans.' Gee they all say 'comes with free thong...' what the hell is a thong anyway?"
Ryou rolled his eyes and started to reply when Anzu burst into a fit of laughter, falling to her knees in tears.
For a moment she couldn't breath.
When she finally recovered herself she stood and snatched the magazine from him.
"That, boys, is mine thank you! And to answer your question..."
She gave an evil smirk as she watched Ryou begin to blush.
"I don't wear them so I guess you'll never find out."
And promptly walked up the stairs and into her room leaving the twins staring after her.

That evening Anzu Ryou and Bakura went out.
It was the annual cherry blossom festival and on this day every year they had a spectacular fireworks display.
The twins each held onto a one of her arms as they traversed the maze of games and wears that had once been the streets of Domino.
Everyone came to this event and it was the time when she could meet up with old friends and spend the night relaxing.
Tonight however Anzu would do no relaxing.
Neither would Bakura or Ryou for that matter for they were confronted with a very angry man.
Shadi, keeper of the sennen ankh who was very displeased with Anzu.
He started by controlling Ryou who began to drag Anzu into the nearest dark ally.
Bakura followed, angered by Ryou's odd behavior until they spotted the Egyptian at the end of it.
His eyes glowed purple and just by looking at him Anzu began to feel dizzy as his dark energy poured out at her.
"Teanna...you have disrupted the natural order of time and you must pay for it!"
She stumbled and nearly fell as Bakura threw her behind him, protecting her, from what he wasn't sure.
"What is it that you man old man!"
Shadi shook his head and pointed at the wide-eyed Anzu.
"She must pay for her crime or figure out how to fix it. I have come to deliver her punishment, stand aside or I shall give it to you as well."
Anzu took Bakura's arm and held closing to him, shaking.
"What is it that I did! I don't understand!"
Shadi sighed, some of his anger beginning to fade.
"I knew this would be the case. By sending the pharaoh to prison, you have condemned the fate of this planet. In two years time he was meant to take the thrown of Egypt once again, and from there he will rule the world. There must be one ruler or the future is lost. If Atemu doesn't take the throne...a darkness will and he will purge the world of its purity...I cannot allow the thief to do this. Find a way to release Atemu from prison."
He suddenly released Ryou...or at least that's what it seemed.
Bakura caught him in alarm as he fell forwards completely unconscious.
"Until the world is no longer in danger...he will sleep. Do not cross me or I will send all three of you to the shadow realm for what you have done!"
With that he was gone.
Anzu stared in horror at Ryou as Bakura tried in vein to wake him.
Slowly she back away from them and then ran as fast as she could back out into the crowded streets.
What was she to do now?
There was no way of getting the pharaoh out...and she wasn't sure if Bakura could conform to the ways of a good king.
