A/n: chapter two! Love and cookies to my reviewers!
Nightfalls: I really need to finish the fics I have started before I write anymore so it'll probably be a while before I have a new Seto/Anzu fic up.
The First Morning
'-------------------------------------------------------------
Her eyes snapped open suddenly and she sat up, the blanket falling to her waist.
Sunlight washed the entire room but she found no trace of her companion and flashes of the night made her wonder if it was all a horrible dream.
Standing, she found a neatly written note laying on the coffee table.
She picked it up and read it to herself.
'Anzu…a few other things have come up and I won't be back until late tonight. There's eggs and milk in the refrigerator and the shower is in my room. If you'll wait for me we'll have dinner together. If not, please leave your number, or call me. Malik'
She smiled softly and set it back on the table.
Walking into his room she began to look around.
A half packed suitcase lay across the bed and several armbands lay on the dresser across from it.
She had decided to take a quick shower and it was upon looking for a towel that she came across an old box in one of the drawers.
It was pressed metal with a wood lining on the inside.
She puzzled at the contents, a single silver bullet and a handgun.
Closing the box she quickly replaced it and turned the water on.
She stepped under the warm water and closed her eyes, as her hair was drenched.
She began to carefully think back over the night, starting from when she left school and working her way up to the strange encounter.
Yet she could not pin point the exact moment she had lost consciousness, or the reason for that matter.
She took a deep breath, trying to sort out her confusion when suddenly she felt two strong hands grip her shoulders.
She screamed and swung around to be face to face with…no one at all.
There wasn't even enough room between her and the wall for there to be someone there in the first place.
She sighed and turned off the water…she needed more sleep.
'--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She woke again shortly after dark to find him again at her side.
Why did she still feel tired?
She sat up, finding the blanket wrapped around her again and looked into his eyes.
"Malik…did you come back today at all?"
He shook his head.
"No, I just walked in the door actually, why?"
She looked down and shook her head.
"I just thought I heard someone, that's all."
He smiled, tipping her chin up with a soft touch.
"That's impossible, I'm the only one who lives here and I have a deadbolt on the door. I'm glad you stayed, would you like to go to dinner?"
She nodded, but didn't smile and he sighed.
"I suppose you want to know what happened last night."
She nodded.
"It's not like me."
He looked away.
"I'm afraid it was my fault."
She looked at him strangely.
"What do you mean?"
He spoke quietly.
"I came on too strong, I shouldn't have been kissing you that way, it was wrong. I'm sorry."
She stared at him for a moment before standing.
"If your kisses made me faint than I'll have to thank you."
He smiled softly and stood as well.
"Than you did like it?"
She gave a smirk and wrapped her arms around his neck.
" If you can show me a girl that doesn't like to be kissed like that, I'll be shocked."
She looked away, loosening her grip on him.
"I just don't like to be taken advantage of. I need your answer right now Malik…"
He stopped her.
"I told you last night Anzu…you're more than just a friend, I'm staying here because of you. Now let's go have dinner before it gets too late."
She smiled and nodded as they walked out, arm in arm.
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When they came back late that night, Malik turned on a soft cd and they began to dance in the dark living room.
He held her closely and kissed her softly, once again laying feathery kisses on her neck.
She gasped and stepped back.
He looked concerned and held his hand out to her.
"What's wrong?"
She felt dizzy when he took her hand and looked into her eyes.
" I'm sorry, it's just that dream…I know it isn't real but…"
He smirked a little at her statement.
"I don't know what you dreamed about, but I promise you this is real and I did kiss you this way last night. I'll take you home if you like."
She shook her head.
"Just…don't kiss my neck tonight please."
He nodded with a soft smile and opened his arms to her.
They continued dancing for a while until she felt tired again.
They sat on the couch together and he held her as they watched the stars.
She laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
For a moment she was very tired.
So tired that she couldn't force herself to fight the new set of dizzying kisses to her neck.
They became more passionate as he slowly and gently lowered her to her back.
He gently held her hands at her sides and leaned over her, switching back to her lips.
Her mind raced faster than her heart but she had neither the will nor the strength to speak and grew weaker with every breathtaking kiss.
His kisses to her neck became frighteningly passionate until in an instant she felt the pain that she had felt the night before, followed again by an ecstasy that eased her into the blackness of deep sleep.
