Chapter 2: Flight to freedom.

[Flashback]

It was dark, the only light in the room came from the street lamps shining through the curtains. Anzu's head was spinning, and his seducing voice was making her drowsy.

"Why don't you lay down?" He whispered. Anzu felt herself sink on to the sofa. Gently, his hands traveled down her body. His breath caressed her neck.

"Anzu....."

"Marik...."

"Be mine...just for tonight...." Marik whispered.

"Just for tonight...."Anzu echoed. She didn't knew what was happening, she just let everything happen. She didn't had the power to resist. Anzu felt Mariks hand between her thighs. Pleasure and excitement spread through Anzu's body. She wanted more....so much more....But deep in her heart she was screaming. This was wrong!!. But her body didn't listen. It just lay there, letting Marik having his way.

Yami walked up the stairs of his apartment. He had worked hard all day and his whole body hurt. Today the new shipping of duel monster games arrived from America. When he opened the door to is apartment he was hurt even more.....

The moment that Yami entered the apartment, Marik disappeared into the darkness. Anzu remained "exposed" on the sofa. (A/N: great, that sounded SO wrong)

"Anzu?" He asked. But she didn't answer. She just lay there, breathing heavily and staring at the ceiling.

"Anzu, what happened?"

[end flashback]

!?!?!?!?!?

One last glance at the city where she grew up, and lived all her live. Battle city, the rare hunters, everything. She saw it, experienced it. Anzu sighed. Goodbye dear Domino, but life is calling.

!?!?!?!?

Domino, the city where he awakened after almost 5000 years. His battle city title, he fought for it in this city. This city was his heaven. Yami walked through the center of Domino. He looked around. This is the place where he fought that rare hunter for Joey's Red Eyes. And there on that building he double dueled with Kaiba against Lumis and Umbra. Domino, city of memories.

Anzu, why? I treated you like a queen. My queen. How could you betray me like this? He clenched his fists and closed his eyes to fight back the upcoming tears.

"Anzu..."

!?!?!?!?

Days passed like falling leaves. Anzu arrived in New York. The city of freedom. She was happy there, she could put all her time in dancing and doing auditions. She lived in a small apartment in one of the poorer neighborhoods of New York. But soon she started to run out of money. Food, rent, everything seemed way more expensive then it seemed. In the past, if she ever would have money problems, there was Yami. He would just give her the money, she didn't even have to repay him....But not anymore! She would proof him she could stand on her own to feet. But more important, she had to proof it to herself two. The doorbell rang, and Anzu ran to the window to see who was there. (let's say she lives on the third floor)

"Anzu!! Down here!!!" on the street stood, Anna, Anzu's new friend. They met a few days ago while dancing. "Are you ready to go?!" Anna's half long blond hair hung loosely in the wind and her light blue eyes flickered with excitement.

"Just a minute!!!" Anzu yelled back. "I'll be right there!!" quickly she grabbed her bag, slipped into her shoes and checked if she had her keys. In no time she was on the street. "Let's go!"

Anna was an energetic, almost hyperactive girl. She seemed to be always happy, and somehow her happiness was almost contagious, making Anzu forget about her problems for a short timew. Whit her blue eyes and blond hair she looked like a typical American, but she claimed to come from Russia.

!?!?!?!?!

At the locker rooms of the dance hall, Anna showed her new sneakers to Anzu.

"Eeh?!? New sneakers?!" Anzu nearly shrieked. "You bought a new outfit last week!! Where did you get the money!?!" Just like herself, Anna told her that she was short on money two, but hoe did she get the money for that new stuff then?? Anna put a hand on Anzu's shoulder.

"Anzu, listen. I'm a woman, I'll always have money."

Anzu's eyes widened. "You mean.....you..." she said shocked.

"Wow, big deal!" Anna rolled her eyes. "Really, it's easy! And it pays great!" "Would you like to try? Just for once?"

Anzu shook her head violently. "No!! I would never do that!!"

"That's just what I said. But I'll hear from you when you change your mind"

Anzu made an angry face. She would never sink so deep to do that. It was just weak of Anna to do such a thing. Anna took Anzu's hand. "C'mon, let's go." She said while she dragged Anzu to one of the dancing rooms. They did their warming up and followed routine, by dancing a few solo numbers and a few numbers together. While dancing, Anzu stole a few glances of Anna in the large mirror that covered the whole wall in front of them. Anna looked so normal...just like any other person....

"Really, it's easy! And it pays great!!"

those words echoed through Anzu's head. Anna probably twice her age- maybe ever trice. And she seemed totally ok with it. Didn't she have a conscience?? No regret?? Was it really that easy??? Could you make so much money with it??? If I would try....I don't know if would be able to face myself afterwards.....maybe Anna isn't weak, on the contrary, maybe she is strong... Why worry about it!?! If she's going to spoil her live that way, be my guest!! But I'll never do it! Never!!!

When Anzu returned to her home, she looked miserably at the bill that lay scattered on the floor. She sighed, and checked how much money she had left.

"Whááát!?!? Twenty dollar!?! Did I have that many expanses!?!" Franticly she searched through all the bills on the floor.

"No way....." she was near broke, and it was the begin of the month...

Should she? Just for once? Anzu reached for her cell phone that lay on the table. Just for one night.... In midair she changed her mind and grabbed the paper instead.

Jobs.....

!?!?!?!?!?

Yami leaned against a tree in a park near Domino pier. Anzu.....he clenched his fist tightly, he could feel his nails dig into his palm. A trap...and he fell for it. And how. Marik had sworn his revenge. And he got it. He destroyed something that couldn't be bought by the greatest sum of money. He knew that Yami would lose his temper somebody lied or broke his or her promises to him. Marik made Anzu break her promise to him. The promise to be his fore ever. She couldn't help it. Marik had her in his power. And in his blind rage Yami didn't even notice. Now, it was eating him from the inside. Anzu was gone...not to return. He sighed. When he returned to their apartment earlier that day, everything was gone. Anzu's clothes, her possessions, it was all gone. Only his clothes lay on the floor, mixed with pieces of glass from the picture frames and vases. Some pieces had blood on them. Anzu's blood.

!?!?!?!??!
