Isis Ishtar smiled at the grinning brunet as she put together a puzzle of New York City. Gentle analyzing as the girl paused to stare at the image, it made her frown for a fraction of a second, her finger tracing the crevices.
"What is it Anzu?" The tan Egyptian asked.
Startled for a second realizing where she was at she smiled before reaching for her notepad and scratching out a few works. Raising it so that Isis could read it, I was just admiring how beautiful it looks' Isis read it out loud a small smile on her lips.
"I'm sorry to end this time together Anzu but your session is almost over and I do have to ask you a few questions." Anzu nodded as she slowly and disappointing disassembled the puzzle.
Isis placed a gentle hand over Anzu, who stiffened at the action.
"I'm sorry Anzu I didn't mean to scare you." Anzu shook her head as she flipped through some pages before tapping on it.
'It's ok' Quickly giving Isis her full attention.
Isis smiled at her once more as she reached for her notes, "So Anzu how've you been lately? Any trouble with the other patients? Staff members?"
Anzu scribbled a bit before shaking her head and scratching it out and writing out a smaller response.
'Everyone has been great'
Even though she lied, all the patients knew better then to come near her and the staff members were especially sweet to her for the exception Hiro, a newly hired attendant, he was always to close for comfort.
Isis remained quiet as she scribbled down some more notes on her paper before looking up with a smile.
"So did you do anything fun yesterday? So you have anything plan for today?"
Anzu shook her head a frown on her face. Isis jotted down once more on the paper before glancing at her watch. She puckered her lips in dissatisfaction. She still had much to ask Anzu bit it would have to wait.
"Well Anzu that's all for today, I'll see you at the end of the week ok. Oh and don't forget your group session as well tonight."
Anzu smiled and nodded as she quickly left the room knowing full well that she would not be attending the group session.
Isis stood from her seat and moved to her desk, sitting down once more in a large office seat, she rummaged through the small filing cabinet below. There was a soft knock on her door suddenly, "come in." she called as she pulled out a small folder.
"Busy as always aren't we?" A low voice said behind her. She turned and smiled, "of course Shadi, its not good for the director of this hospital to be slacking off."
Shadi chuckled as he took a seat in front of her desk, "well I would love to say this a social call but it isn't."
"It never is Shadi." she replied promptly never taking her gaze off the documents at hand, "So what is it?"
"A favor." he murmured.
Is paused, a amused look on her face as she glanced at the older Egyptian. "A favor really? Well, well this is ironic isn't it," she chuckled, "the great needs a favor" she teased.
"Isis." he growled warningly.
"Fine what is the favor" she replied retuning to her work at task.
"I need you to take on two more cases."
She pause a second time, craning her to the left. "Do you have their case files?"
Shadi nodded as he pulled out two manila folders. Dropping the file in hand she took the two, flipping through the folders she pause her brow furrowed slightly.
"These aren't my expertise" she waved the folders lightly, "you know that, why ask me to do this?"
He frowned, rubbing the side of his temples, "I have to many patients already. I just need you to take them for me." he paused, "please?"
She sighed, she knew she couldn't deny the request but she worked better with teens not with adults.
And for other factors as well but she couldn't refuse Shadi.
Sighing she placed the folder on a stack beside her, "when will they get here?"
Shadi smiled, "In a few seconds."
Isis looked at Shadi and glared, "well then lets go greet them"
"But of course Ms. Director" he said mockingly.

Anzu sat crouched in the game room watching as Trisha and a younger boy played on a game console. She sighed as she glanced out the window. A dark sleek car pulled up too one of the parking spots in the parking lot. Slightly interested Anzu screwed her head a bit higher. She could see and another Doctor. They were waiting for someone. 'Probably another Doctor' she thought as she lost much interest but when she turned back she was surprised. It was two male adults. They were couple years older than herself she admitted to herself. Watching as the two doctors greeted the two. Each had a stoic if not dull looking face as if they didn't expect much. 'maybe they're right' she thought but she huffed 'but it isn't so bad here'
She watched a lot more interested her face pressing against the window pane.
"Anzu were not suppose to go near the window" Trisha wined as she had abandon the video game, now intrigued by what the older girl looked at, "let me see."
Anzu felt her arms clench as she shook her head and waved her hand in a shooing gesture. With a pout the girl retreated but not without a threat. "I'm telling!" she shouted heatedly. Her body relaxed at once, shrugging Anzu glanced back her heart had nearly stopped, the brunet he was looking at her...a image of those same mirror eyes giving her the same hollow icy glare. She bit her lip till she tasted blood.
Quickly retreating from the window she stumbled to the beaten couch in the game room. She steadied herself as she tried regaining control. Images swirled in her mind as she tried to count and steady her breathing. Struggling to get too her room she felt her self become light headed. A faint dizzy spell rolled around her. 'Those eyes...' she shuddered in thought as memories plagued her in the dark abyss.

Seto Kaiba and Ryou Bakura watched as the tall female Egyptian heatedly spoke with someone over the other line of the cell phone. She turned to her companion and murmured in his ear a few words. He nodded and she turned to excuse herself. Soon the tall Egyptian male ushered them into the building. A large metal detector stood in the center of two desk. Two broad shoulder male nurses stood guard.
"Remove all metal items and place your bags into the provided containers." one of the male nurses ordered.
Kaiba removed his jacket and dropped a small luggage bag. Bakura did the same except for he put a larger luggage in. Each one passed through the detector. They were told that their items would be returned when they would check out. The two were shocked but the Egyptian moved them on.
"As you should know, this is Domino's Mental Youth Unit, we have made an exception for the two of you. We usually treat children, I and the director have been contacted by our advisors to take you in, they believe you would benefit from here with and myself as your psychiatrist." He stopped abruptly in front of a large mesh Gate door. He ran his ID card through the security point opening the gate. At once they were greeted by an elderly male.
"Good Morn'n I ces we gawst new pep'le" he grinned at Kaiba, both males were uneasy at the elderly males toothless grin.
"Good morning too you , I'll need the usual a week clothes for the two", the elderly man nodded as he hobbled to the back of the room.
" is the one who will wash your clothes. These clothes should not be altered in any manner too fit your preference please refrain from tearing the clothes. You will wear one pair of the hospital clothes for sleeping and one for your morning activity. does laundry every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday." he explained slowly as he glanced at his watch, "If you are found fit enough to be among the rest of the patient and staff and find yourself too be a bit ideal then you like, you may ask either or myself too look for work among the Unit."
" 'Ers you go , a week pair of clothes" he handed the clothes too the two and thanked the elderly man.
They moved down the white fluorescent lit corridor, the squeaking sound of the good doctors leather shoes and of the medical cart drove both Kaiba and Bakura mad. Suddenly turned to the two a stern look on his face.
"This place is a fantastic place and the patients here are taken special care of. We do not tolerate any boorish behavior. Too be frank anyone breaking the rules are reprimand. Usually trivial but come on your third offense we take larger steps in modifying your behavior. If you prove to be violent to others than all rights of freedom are stripped from you. If you prove to be violent toward yourself we will take care of the problem immediately." he stared at the two stressing the last two sentences, "On your right down in the left is the girls dormitory you will by no means be entering it. On your left down on your right is the boys dormitory needless to say the rule applies as well to the females."
He rubbed his temple once again catching a glance at his watch, "There is a game room where the kids spend time coloring or playing games. There are certain days when patients are allowed out for a few hours of recreation. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner will be served promptly, if you are late for either one you will miss your meal until the next appropriate time. Group and one-on-one session with either , myself, or the other doctors on hand will be assigned. Failure too meet any of your appointments will place you in lock down for twenty-four hours."
He shot a quick glance at the two before turning on his heel and moving down the corridor both Bakura and Kaiba remained silent before one of them asked where they would be staying.
"Your rooms have been prepared you of course will find them yourselves. Good day." With that said he took turn and was gone from sight.
The two remained in the large corridor staring at one another and the hall. They had a similar feeling of utter shame and insignificant.

"Anzu? Anzu can you hear me?" the soft tense voice of pulled Anzu from the powerful sleep.
Her eyes blinked open slowly as she tried adjusting to the infirmary lights. The staff nurse flashed a ball point flash light before nodding to .
"She's receptive no worry she might have a headache but no damage done." she grumbled out as she moved behind her counter office. doctor what's up
"Anzu dear what happen?" Anzu starred up at the blurry image of .
She searched for the note pad and pen she kept in her pocket. Pulling the small pad out she scribbled incoherently on the pad before flashing it toward the concern doctor.
'I had a relapse you can say'
Anzu groaned softly as she tried sitting upright. moved to help but hesitated recalling earlier the sudden reaction to her touch. Once upright she began to awaken a bit more, she pressed her hand to the back of her head and felt the tender sore spots on her head. She scribbled onto the pad and tapped it to signal for the doctors attention.
'Why am I here?'
Isis read in disbelief at the girls ignorance, "you mean you don't remember falling downstairs?"
Anzu shook her head and regretted it at once the sharp pain of her neck made it much worse when it stiffened.
'How did I get to the stairway?' she wrote out rapidly
"I don't know Anzu but you fell pretty hard." Anzu stared absentmindedly at her feet as she tried recalling the past events that lead her too the stairway.
'Eyes...eyes like the devil' she thought suddenly the flashing of ice blue eyes made a eerie chill creep up and down her flesh. She felt the churning of her stomach and the taste of copper in her mouth. Suddenly she was vomiting.
Isis jumped up at once grabbing at one of the waste baskets near the foot of the bed. The nurse at once was on her feet going for something to clean up the mess made from the sudden vomiting. The smell was strong and it nearly brought Isis to do the same.
The hot bile crept on her so quickly at the thought of those eyes. She spat out the bitter taste in her mouth but it remain stuck on her tongue as she fought the on going wave of emotions and bile try to spring lose.
Anzu scribbled on the pad quickly before she threw up in the waste basket. Isis took the notepad and read it over and over too herself. She froze a bit and then placed the pad down.
"Anzu what do you remember seeing?" she asked a bit too anxiously.
Anzu took a deep breath swallowing the bile that nearly spilled out her mouth once more.
'Not much just eyes, that's all I seem to remember.'
Isis read it too herself once more as she tried hard too keep her composer.
"Well Anzu in light of these events I will dismiss you from group for the remainder of the week." she stood slowly, "but you must stay here for the time till you feel absoultly better understood?"
Anzu nodded slowly before sinking into the soft bed. Isis smiled a bit and exited the infirmary. Thoughts filled her head as she moved too her office. It had been four years since she took the case from the last hospital Director. She had only briefed it a bit but she knew a few bits and pieces. Yet what she really needed to know was why Anzu is mute and why she is a ward of the city.
