A/n: Sorry I'm late on this. I've been working on original stuff and decided to take a break and come back to this.

Nightfall2525: XD I'm 21 I can look at any magazine I want, check out my profile. Most of my fics are centered on the future when the gang is older because of that. No, more like she had a premonition of 30 days into the future and what would happen if events went the way shown. She has 30 days to figure out how to prevent that from happening.

Forever in Light: Repayment of a regretful man

"Pharaoh Mutou, half brother of Dueling legend Yugi Mutou, was released from prison today after serving only a year and a half of his sixteen year sentence. The accuser Anzu Mazaki refused to give a statement today, however her now boyfriend Ryou Bakura told us that she plans to stay away and even threatened that if Pharaoh came near her, there would be trouble."

Ryou sighed deeply and flipped off the Tv as he sat next to Anzu.

She stared at the blank screen as he wrapped his arm around her and she laid her head in his lap.

"I'm scared Ryou. It may take him a while but as soon as he's completely on his own he'll come after me again. But if I move, things will start to happen like they did in my dream."

He sighed.

She'd told him the entire dream in detail and he knew this was more than just a simple nightmare.

He stared down at her as he gently brushed his fingers over her hair.

"Can you think of any way we might be able to find Shadi before he finds us?"

She looked up at him and the look in her eyes answered for her.

Bakura suddenly appeared in the doorway.

"It's a long shot but I have an idea."

The thought seemed to pass around the room and both Ryou and Anzu were silent for a moment.

Anzu slowly sat up and stared at Bakura.

"I'm not sure."

Ryou nodded, taking her hand.

"She's not ready to see him again. You know the nightmares still haven't stopped."

Bakura sighed as he leaned heavily on the door.

"There aren't any options left. Wait for him and pray we can change his mind before he knocks you out...or use Seto Kaiba to find him."

Ryou watched fear wash into her eyes as she spoke.

"We're not even sure if Kaiba-san can find him. If my dream was correct than he doesn't live in this dimension."

Ryou looked up at Bakura.

"In which case it would only serve to frighten her more."

Bakura growled, startling Anzu.

"Than what do you think we can do?"

Anzu stood quietly, watching Bakura closely.

"I need to go to the museum. That's where I found him in my dream, maybe he'll find me this time."

Bakura sighed and started to leave but she stopped him.

"I need to go by my self. It's not Shadi that I'm afraid of."

Bakura looked into her eyes closely for a moment and then stepped aside.

''

Anzu stood before the massive stone slabs, concentrating all her energy on breaking the rift and entering Shadi's world.

She was concentrating so hard that she didn't notice the figure behind her.

"How could I have done it in my dream but not now?"

She didn't expect an answer to that but she swung around as she heard Shadi's soft voice.

"I don't know what you're trying to do but you caught my attention."

She stared at him for a moment.

"I was trying to enter your house."

He took a step closer and circled her for a moment.

"What purpose does a mortal have in my dimension? Teanna, is something wrong? You look upset."

She looked away as he approached her.

"Do you know what's happened in the last two years that you've been gone?"

He nodded.

"Not everything, but I did hear about you and Pharaoh breaking up."

She looked up into his eyes.

"I put him in prison."

Shadi stared at her in shock.

"Do you know what that could bring about?"

She nodded.

"He's out now but he's gone completely crazy since I broke it off. I'm afraid that he'll come after me again. I need you to help me fix what I've done wrong."

He gently placed his hand on her head as she fell to her knees.

"Please Shadi, I can't leave him like this...part of me still loves him but..."

He placed a finger to her lips.

"I will do anything that I can to help you."

He pulled her to her feet.

"You have three days to prepare. We first must fix the ancient past and to do that you must decide who you wish to truly be with in this life. Everything will be erased from your mind when this is over."

She nodded silently and closed her eyes as he kissed her forehead.

He disappeared and she looked around.

"Thank you."

''

The second she walked through the door when she got home, she knew something wasn't right.

The air felt heavy and she recognized that right away.

Her eyes traveled slowly into the kitchen where Seto was.

He was leaned against the wall with his arms crossed and eyes closed.

"You went to Shadi."

She turned to leave but his driver stood in her way.

She screamed and shut the door.

'Where the hell is Bakura!'

Seto turned her to him as he walked up behind her.

"I've only come to help you. Don't be afraid of me."

She stared into his eyes, searching for his intent.

"Where are Ryou and Bakura?"

He shook his head.

"They let me in, said you'd be here sometime and literally ran out."

She crossed to the couch and sat down.

"What do you mean you're here to help me? How did you know that I went to Shadi?"

He sighed.

"He called me just after you left him. Apparently in order to change things in the past I must go too."

He looked down at her, mood and tone dropping.

"I'm sorry...I heard about Pharaoh."

She closed her eyes with a deep sigh.

"Who hasn't? The stares and whispers are starting again now."

He sat beside her and wrapped his arms around her gently before he realized what he was doing.

Her eyes suddenly went blank, recalling the most recent nightmare, and was unable to control her own words as she whispered.

"Please don't hurt me again."

He breathed deeply and let go of her.

"Believe me Anzu...I'm the last of your worries."

He began to leave; however Bakura came in.

One look at Anzu and he growled at Seto.

"What did you do to her?"

Anzu looked up quickly and shook her head.

"Nothing. It was those damn dreams. Where the hell were you anyway!"

He took a deep breath, never taking his eyes from Seto.

"Someone...I'm assuming the pharaoh, set Ryou's apartment on fire."

Ryou slinked in behind him, tears streaming down his face.

Anzu immediately went to him.

"Ryou I'm so sorry."

His words were choked as he held her tightly.

"It's all gone Anzu, everything. Our journal, all of my fathers books, everything that I worked so hard to get for myself. It's all gone up in flames!"

She looked into his eyes and kissed him softly.

"It doesn't matter because by the end of this week it will have never happened."

Ryou closed his eyes as she gently brushed away his tears.

"I'm afraid we don't know that for sure. We don't know what Shadi has planned to change or what will change. We only know the outcome two years from now. I truly hope that you're right but...I won't get my hopes up incase it was supposed to happen."

Anzu smiled to herself as she began to form an idea.

"I may be able to at least save some things for you."

He rested his head on her shoulder as he felt a new wave of tears.

"I really think I deed to lay down. I don't feel very good all of a sudden."

Anzu nodded silently and helped him up to her room.

While they were out of the room Seto took the chance to talk to Bakura.

"What is she talking about dreams?"

Bakura sighed deeply.

"Every once in a while, recently two or three times in a week she has nightmares about..."

The look in his eyes told Seto all the information he needed to know.

"I'll be leaving now."

Bakura stepped aside as Seto left.
