Koki: First of all I would like to thank everyone for their reviews. Now I will answer your questions...or at least try to.
TennyoAkana: no it won't be a Malik/Marik/Anzu/Kaiba thing though it kinda does seem like it. Malik does like her but because of Marik being...well Marik, he didn't want to get close to her in fear he'd hurt her...obviously that didn't work. Now he's trying to help her and is loving her from afar cuz he knows he's not meant for Anzu. You'll see what I mean soon just be patient...I know it's hard...I'm the same way.
Chained and Torchered: that was entertaining in your review here ya go.
Gauri: first time I've seen you but thank you!
DIS: I think I may have already answered as to why she's limping but you may have forgotten. She's limping because of the extensive workout of her legs due to her class and Marik's 'oh so loving touch' and the muscles haven't quite had time to recuperate yet. And yes I am persistent! Damned if I'm not!
peeps: thank you and here's the update. What did you mean by this 'I felt a little rushed towards the end if didn't take my enjoyment from the story' ...I tried to understand it but I couldn't. Something didn't make sense and I can't figure out what. Maybe it's just me I don't know but could you elaborate or something. It would really help.
There's responses, now onto new news:
I'm currently working on another fic. I'm not sure if it'll be a one shot or have few chapters (and I mean a few maybe more I don't know -swirly eyes-). But I am working on it so be sure to look for that. I'll be at my friends house today til tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able write more there. So far I haven't had a problem writing it and hopefully it'll stay that way. But we don't always get what we want but we can dream. Also I've gone back and said that they had about two mnths for the project instead of two weeks for it to fit more into my story ucz of what I have planned for the end, you'll see what eventually. Anyway here's the chapter!

After a few hours, Malik went upstairs to see what Anzu wanted to eat then came back down. He went into the kitchen, not bothering to ask Kaiba what he wanted cuz he knew that trying to talk to Kaiba while he was working was like trying to talk to his sister after she discovered something in her research…absolutely useless. Anzu came down when he called so she could eat.
"So what did you two talk about?" she asked once they were all seated.
"I told him what was going on. The new got in touch with my sister; she'll be here tomorrow morning." Malik answered.
Anzu nodded then she began eating. Malik looked at her for a moment with a worried expression on his face then he wiped it away and began eating.
"Oh yes Anzu, I almost forgot. I'll be staying here for the night as well, I told my sister to meet me here. Marik is still at our house and I don't want anything to happen to her." He added.
Anzu nodded again. "That's fine." She looked at Kaiba who seemed to be in deep thought. She lightly touched his arm, snapping him back to reality.
"Are you all right?" She asked gently.
"Yes I'm fine." He replied. 'How can she be worried about me being in the situation she is in?' He thought as he continued eating.
"Are you going to stay here or will you be going back home?" She asked him.
"I'm not sure at the moment." He replied.
"All right." She said and they continued eating in silence.
Later on he decided he was going to stay and he called Mokuba to tell him he would be at his office.
"Why are you lying to him?" Anzu asked.
"It's a long story; I really don't want to tell it. If I told him where I was I'd never hear the end of it." He explained.
She nodded. "Well you can use the couches to sleep on. And Kaiba you can use my laptop, just don't change or mess with anything." She said.
"You can call me by my first name; you don't have to keep saying my last name." He said.
This took her by surprise. She knew very few called him by his first name, Mokuba included. She wouldn't say she was honored nor was it to that extent that he'd let her, but it was something like that.
"Ok. I'm gonna go back to bed, I'm really tired now for some reason." She bid them goodnight and went upstairs.
Malik plopped on the couch, snatching the remote that lay abandoned on the cushions and turned on the TV, flipping through the channels. Kaiba then turned back to the desk to continue his work.

Anzu woke the next morning with her stomach churning. She felt sick and wasn't sure why but knew it wanted out and it wanted out now. She jumped up from her bed and ran into her bathroom, landing in front of the toilet, narrowly missing it as the contents from her stomach began pouring from her mouth. Once she was done, she fell back against the wall, panting. She stood up with shaky legs and began dousing her face with cold water. The doorbell rang and she moved to go downstairs as fast as she could. As she passed the living room, she saw the two boys lounging on her furniture, still asleep. She opened the door, a smile spreading across her face when she saw it was Isis.
"Oh hello Isis. It's nice to meet you again." Anzu greeted cheerfully.
"Hello Anzu. Are you all right, you look a bit pale?" Isis questioned, her voice laced with concern.
"Oh well I just threw up but don't worry I'll be fine." Anzu assured her.
Isis gave her a skeptical look as she nodded. "Where is my brother?" She asked.
"He's in the living room, sleeping still." She replied as she stepped aside to let Isis inside.
They walked into the living room together and Isis went to her brother to walk him while at the same time Anzu woke Kaiba. Isis raised a surprised brow at seeing the multimillionaire lying on the couch while wondering what exactly his place was in all of this.
"Ok what is going on?" Isis asked.
Both Anzu and Malik filled her in with all the details of the situation.
"And he's at the house now?" Both teens nodded.
Something else was nitpicking at Isis' mind as well. "Anzu can I talk to you in private for a moment?" she asked.
Anzu nodded as she stood and followed her into the kitchen. "What is it?" She asked as they sat at the table.
"How long has this been going on?" Isis asked.
"Um…about three weeks why?
Isis sighed. "Has it been everyday?" She continued.
"Just about." Anzu replied.
"When was your last period?"
Anzu thought for a moment. "It was almost a month ago actually." She responded as if just realizing it.
"Didn't you say you got sick before I came over?" Isis asked.
"Yeah wh-" Anzu's eyes widened for a moment. "You don't think…" she trailed off as she stood.
"It's quite possible but at this point we can't be too sure. You'll need to go to the doctor's to find out for sure." Isis told her.
"But…I…I can't be. I don't want to be!" she exclaimed, covering her mouth as a sob came forth. Isis stood up to comfort her. At the same time Malik and Kaiba came in at hearing Anzu's outburst. Anzu turned and ran straight into Kaiba, intending to go upstairs. But instead she buried her face into his shirt, sobbing as she clung to it. He looked down at her with wide-eyes then to Isis.
"What's going on?" He asked.
"I think she may pregnant." Isis said.
Both males stared at her in complete disbelief then they looked to Anzu.

Koki: I know it's a little short but I thought it best to leave it there. Ok remember, the whole thing with Marik and Anzu had already been going on for about two weeks before the project was assigned and a week already went by after that. I didn't want to go into too much detail cuz I didn't want to bore you so I've skipped a few a days and such in between to speed it along a bit. Hope you enjoyed it. I must say I'm surprised I've gotten so many reviews already. Keep them coming they'll really do make me happy and make me want to take the time to sit down and type these up for you to read so please keep them coming. Well that's all for now.
