One Down Many To Go

Chapter 9: Denial Is Empty

Anzu sat silently on her window still the cold wind high and the rain as cold as snow. Anzu had seen Mai a few days ago and they both had break down. Honda was a little stronger then Miho who cried her eyes out. Seto had left right after there little talk. Leaving to New York or California or something like that Mokuba wasn't really sure when telling her. But that had been two weeks ago. Then there was Jonouchi he was still missing and it frightened her. After Yugi's death Jonouchi was accused of murder and it tore Serenity's heart and now she was missing as well. Her perfect suburban life was no more then a little disaster train.

"Yugi, Atemu I wished you were here" A single tear trickled down her face

Steeping into her now freezing room before she fell asleep on the window. It was a minutes after she had closed the window and still she heard a thumping noise. She would have assumed it was her parents but they were on a business trip. She wasn't expecting company. Most of her friends were either dead and that was the cold hearted truth or they just stopped there contact. All her dance friends her supposedly popular friends who now snubbed her and ridiculed her. There it was again it was louder then before and even closer then before. It could be rats she thought. Again and again it grow louder and closer finally it was so close Anzu let out a sharp scream of frustration. It was silent for a couple of minutes then it thumped louder and more annoyingly. Rushing to her door and pulling at the knob fiercely almost slamming the door close as she hurried toward the kitchen. Everything was pitch black and it bothered her a little. Flipping the switch to her left soon the room was emitted into a bright light. Scanning the room for any tampering or such things. But it was just like she left it. Peering outside of her kitchen window to make sure no one was outside. No one stood out in the yard, and in the rain for that matter. She sighed shacking her head in disbelief she was really losing it. Switching the lights off and heading to the living room. Unaware of the eyes that stared at her longingly in the shadows. Yawning lightly Anzu hurried toward the stairway but in seconds the thumping noise accrued. Her heart hammered it was coming from the door. Turning toward the door. The fierce pounding of the door shook the portraits on the walls. In a seconds she pulled open the door there at the door stood a looming shadow.

"Anzu" He said hoarsely

She trembled at the door way she was going to pass out.

"Anzu" He said again

"Please leave me alone" Anzu begged

Soon he was towering over her his eyes stared down at her. Soon with a click she saw his face the lights showing her a dirty, beaten up, soaking, Jonouchi. Her heart leaped at the sight of Jonouchi. In seconds she jumped into his arms. Tears of joy streaming down her face her muffled sob blocked out in his chest.

"Oh Jonouchi" She said through terrible sobs

Jonouchi stared down at her tightening his grip on her. Holding her tight into his chest her fragile body trembled lightly. Tears and rain droplets trickled down his face onto Anzu's back as he embraced her to burying his face into her shoulder. It was a while were they stood at the door way the door open and the rain beating in the background before they let go of each other. Not moving an inch from the doorway

"Were have you've been Jonouchi" Anzu finally asked

Jonouchi winced lightly before answering, "I hide Anzu dey were after me"

"They wouldn't think it was you if you would-"

Cutting off Anzu with a nasty comment, "I was out looking for dat bastard, Anzu"

Anzu remained silent for a moment "Did you know who it is?"

"Yes I did you see it was-"

A loud swift air cut in between them. In seconds Jonouchi let out a scream of pain before falling onto the floor. Anzu looked around the doorway and to the front yard. No one. Turning toward Jonouchi, who lied now on a bloodied floor. Anzu would have screamed if she could but she couldn't she couldn't scream but she ran out in nothing but her tank top, shorts pajamas. Running in the wicked storm were ever her legs would take her. Her legs now numb from the rain and the run her bare feet pinching in pain and her body trembling for air but she couldn't stop she wouldn't. The images of her friends of Seto all flashed before her eyes. The thought of Yugi pleading for his life, the memory of Atemu handsome body laying on the floor head busted open and puddle of blood covering it, the look of her friends and family when she hurt them, and Seto the most his face stricken in fear his face full of pain when they split up and the way he looked at her when she tried to take her own life. And now Jonouchi who laid in her doorway dead. Running quickly as she could but falling twisting her ankle at the fall. She let out a little whimper as she tried to stand. Wobbling and then falling back onto the pavement. She cried no longer holding in the pain. Then in seconds she barfed.

"God!" She cried "I'm so fucking weak" She pounded the pavement

She sat there ten blocks from her house sitting near someone's house. The cold wind and rain biting her flesh.

"Anzu" A husky whisper rang in her ear

She turned to her right and left no one.

"Anzu" Once again

As if a warning she got up forcing her ankle to stand firmly on the ground. Trying to run but only succeeding into a weird limp.

"Anzu" The sound came closer

Hurrying further. Her body now ignoring the fucking pain.

"Anzu" It was so close she could feel the breath on her neck

With a fierce turn she moved toward her left.

"Gotch ya" He yelled out

In seconds Anzu was in his arm shuffle around fighting for her life. Kicking, biting , scratching. Whatever she could hurt she tried but it was useless. He had her. As he let her go for a second Anzu took the opportunity to scream. But failed instantly as he slapped a hand over her mouth. She stared into lavender eyes. Her eyes grew as big as saucers there behind the lavender eyes was a sandy blonde with a syringe in his right hand.

With a soft murmur she said "Why? Why Malik?"

Then with a sickening grin he stuck the needle in her neck. A smile on his face as he said "There, There it is alright now"
