Corrupted Memories

By: xKuroSeraphimx

He pined for her. He loved her, adored her from afar. He looked after her, and now, he was running away with her. His violet gaze traveled from the airplane window to the sleeping brunette on his shoulder. He grinned slightly, pushing a stray lock of chestnut hair away from her beautiful face. She was now with him, not with that bastard of an older brother.

His gaze stared out of the window again. He could see a bit of land of the United States out there, New York to be exact. They were going to land there shortly. He and her were going to be safe from him now.

The voice of the pilot rang throughout the airplane, abruptly waking some passengers from their sleep. But not her. He chuckled as he heard the pilot speak.

"We are about to land on the New York air station. Please fasten your seatbelts and await further instruction. Thank you."

He looked down on the sleeping beauty before shaking her awake. "Hey, we're here now. Come on, wake up."

The brunette moaned for a moment before cracking open sapphire eyes. Rubbing them to get the sleep out of herself, she looked around and then at him.

"... Yugi?"

He nodded, stroking her hand with his thumb. "It's okay, Anzu. We'll be there shortly. I'm here."

"That son of a bitch!!!"

The sound of a porcelain vase crashing against the wall echoed through the whole area. The one who threw the now useless item was breathing deeply like a rabid animal, his crimson eyes glowing with tremendous violence, narrowed into slits like an annoyed snake.

The blonde-haired man winced as he saw one of his best friend throw a very expensive vase across the room (which didn't seem to matter now) in anger. After he had suddenly brought the news to his friend, the tri-colored-haired man went into a fit and searched every room on the three floors of the mansion in rage.

"H-Hey... Um... You don't have to throw somethi---"he started but was soon stopped when very angry red orbs stared at him.

"Just shut up, Jounouchi just shut up!!! I'll make him pay for this!"

Seeing that he couldn't console his friend right now, Jounouchi bowed his head down in defeat. But in his head, he couldn't believe that his other best friend stole the woman of his very possessive and short-tempered older brother. He prayed that the younger brother wasn't found by the older, or hell will be on earth. Literally.

'That... That bastard. How dare he steal my woman?!' the older brother raged on in his head, straightening himself and looking at the ceiling.

He thought of the brunette that was once with him and was now somewhere with his younger brother.

'Having you is like grasping heaven itself... And I will not allow it to be taken away from me!!'

With that in mind, he strode over to the still-open door in long, anger-filled strides. Jounouchi followed close behind him, doing a soft prayer in his head.

'Yugi... I hope you realized what you have just done... I just hope, as much as I want to see you and Anzu again, that Atem doesn't find you...'

Yugi sneezed aloud, receiving a "Bless you," from an old couple passing by. He smiled at them as thanks while scratching his head. He began looking around. He needed to find a taxi somehow. But wait...

Anzu wasn't by his side! He whirled his head around, looking for her. She wasn't anywhere that he couldn't see her from his spot. Picking up his bags (a duffle and a backpack), he began looking for her.

The brunette walked along the sidewalk, looking for a cab. She raised a hand as she saw a cab coming over, it completely ignored her. Sighing, she lowered her hand, thinking that sometimes, people can be so cruel.

'Time to look for another... Huh?' her azure eyes spotted a little kid chasing a red ball. Her eyes widen as she saw that the ball was heading to the street and that a car was just coming over. Running quickly to the little boy she managed to get there in time before he was hit. But...

Yugi pushed through another crowed, saying a number of "Excuse mes" to the people he pushed. He had just found her but the look on his face turned to terror as he saw that Anzu shoved a little boy out of the way to prevent the car that was coming up from hitting him, but then the car...

It all happened in a blur. After a while, there was an eerie silence after a sickening sound rang throughout the area like a gunshot before that silence was destroyed by an anguish cry.

"ANZU!!!!!!"

10 years have passed since that painful day. 10 long years since the news were bombarded with the same stories over and over for a few days. 10 years since he blamed himself for what happened to her. And now they were returning to their original home, Domino City Japan.

Now that they were both out of the safety of the US, he kept a close watch on her and their surroundings, careful to not let him find out that they were back again. When they had finally found an apartment to settle in, he immediately began searching for info about him, and found out that he was still searching for her, but was now a very powerful man who would make things harder in hiding himself and the woman he loved.

Though he knew that his older brother didn't know that they were back again, he kept a low profile on themselves, working at low pay jobs that wouldn't seem like the place for himself and her to take jobs at.

Sighing, he looked at the calendar, crossing out November 25 with a blue sharpie pen. Capping the pen, he went to the kitchen to make an early breakfast.

"10 years... Wow, didn't think we'd be able to be out of eyeshot of my older brother for 10 years..." he shook his head. "And... it will stay that way..."

He heard the door to his bedroom click open and looked to see a disheveled brunette standing by the doorway. He chuckled softly as she came over to him, kissing him lightly on the lips.

"... Good morning." He greeted happily.

She yawned causing him to laugh a bit more. "Huh? Oh, uh... Good morning, Yugi." She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes before staring up at him blankly.

This time, he laughed out loud, receiving a small glare from the brunette. "... I don't see what's so funny, Mr. Mutou."

"You know, you could go back to sleep again. It's only a few hours till your work starts. You're not always up this early in the morning." Yugi answered.

She shrugged before saying, "You move around the bed too much when you wake up. Just thought I'd say bye before you go out to work." She looked at him, a playful expression on her face. "Or, do you not want to receive byes from me before you leave?" she turned away from him as if he said he didn't need her there.

He sighed, laughing a bit, knowing she was playing. He encircled his arms around her, laying his head down on her shoulder.

"I never said that! So, just watch TV or something and wait for your food."

She pouted like a five year old over her shoulder. "Meanie..." she muttered.

The tri-colored haired man let go of her so he could see her face, a look of mortal insult upon his expression. "Hey, I'm not a meanie! I'm just saying to wait!"

She scoffed, turning her head away and putting her hands on her hips. "Hmph, so why don't you let me cook with you? Afraid that I might poison our food? Please, I cook way better than you." She said.

"Hey, I'm just being a gentlemen. So please just let me cook and you just wait." He pleaded.

She turned her head back to him. "Fine, you big whiner. It won't be my fault that you'll leave here with a sick stomach."

"I'm not bad at cooking. I'm just not good. You know, it could be worse."

"Whatever, just hurry with the food, Yugi." She commanded before walking off.

"Alright, slave master." He retorted.

A pillow was chucked at his face as he stared at the brunette who had her tongue stuck out at him in a taunting manner.

"Got ya!"

"Whatever, well, breakfast will be ready soon, Anzu."

"... These files don't mean anything to me!!" Atem roared, throwing the files he was previously holding onto the floor as he continued to pace, stepping on other discarded papers and files in his walk.

"They're doing the best they can..." Jounouchi said but regretted ever saying anything as Atem rounded on him.

"Well they aren't doing enough!!" he roared. Jounouchi winced at his shout. It had been 10 years since they heard anything about Yugi and Anzu. It felt like the two of them just vanished off the face of the earth, never to be seen or heard from again.

But Atem was stubborn enough to not believe that anything happened to them. Or well, anything that happened to his woman. Yugi, he didn't care whatever happened to him. All he thought about was the safety of the brunette whom had flown away from him.

"I'm getting sick of this..." Jounouchi heard Atem mutter to himself, still pacing back and forth throughout the room. "I want to find her... I want her in my arms again... Dammit! Where the hell did my idiot of a brother take my woman?!"

Suddenly, the phone rang. Immediately, Atem already had the phone at his ear. "What is it?" he asked impatiently.

There was silence around the whole room. Jounouchi was looking for a way to get out of the place but that thought passed as he heard the slam of a phone. He turned his chocolate brown eyes to Atem and was a little startled to see that he looked really ready to kill something... someone. And he was the only one in the room besides the King of Games.

Biting his tongue, he saw Atem walk to the doors and opened them. Jounouchi quickly ran after him, asking, "Hey, what was up with that phone call? What was it about? Who was it from?"

"Meeting. Said it was urgent. Damn Kaiba..." Atem said through gritted teeth. Jounouchi slowed his pace, stopping in halfway in the well-lit hall. He heard the message all right. And if it was a call from Kaiba Seto...

Expect a long meeting.

His cell phone rang, breaking his train of thought. Fishing for it, he pulled it out and asked, "Hello? Who's this?"

"Yugi, it's been a while." Said the calm voice from the other end. Yugi's face brightened as he heard the familiar voice, the train he was on jerked a bit.

"Isis? Isis, good to hear from you again!" he said happily. Isis was the head of several museums around the world but was mostly around the Domino City's museum, studying about the ancient Egyptians and any ancient civilization. He had met her in one of her museums when he was taking a small tour around New York. She spoke Japanese (which made it a lot easier for the both of them to communicate) to him, even though she was Egyptian, and kindly told him in a three hour long lecture of the old American Indian tribes and wars while displaying artifacts about them.

"Good to see you too, Yugi. I hope Anzu is doing well..."

Yugi nodded. "Yeah, she's doing good. You don't have to worry. She's in good hands, Ms. Isis. How are you doing? Found anything exciting about any ancient civilizations yet?" he asked.

He pictured the older Egyptian woman shaking her head. "No, but I heard of this new tomb found in Egypt, so I'm going to excavate what it is so, I might not get to call the two of you during the dig." Isis said sadly.

He nodded his again, clearly understanding her. "Well, you are very busy after all, we can wait. Maybe you can make it up to us by visiting us with your family for dinner and probably show us some thing interesting you might've found?" he offered softly.

The sound of a soft laugh reached his ears from the other end. Isis replied, "Okay then. I'm sure my family would love to join you two together for dinner. After the excavation is over."

"Okay," Yugi then looked out of the window, seeing that the station he was heading come into view. "Oh, gotta go, Ms. Isis. I'm at my station now."

"All right, Yugi. Take care. Bye now."

"You too. Bye for now."

Anzu slowly walked to her work, her eyes looking at the items on display at the stores. She felt content for some reason. Like this was really her home. It was strange to her in a way. Ever since ten years ago. The only person that had helped her at her time of need was Yugi.

She smiled at the thought of him. He was such a sweet man. But ever since they arrived at Domino City, Yugi's eyes seemed to change shape and color; to deep, narrowed and enigmatic crimson eyes which she was confused as to why she was seeing someone else's eyes besides Yugi's.

'I must be seeing things... I don't even know anyone else close to me besides Yugi... Yeah... That must be it! I must be seeing things.'

While she was thinking, she didn't notice the presence behind her before they shouted, "HIYA, ANZU!!!"

Anzu squeaked and jumped up in the air in surprise, her heart skipping a beat. Slowly turning around (her heart hammering loudly in her chest), she was confused to see a light violet-haired young woman who was wearing a scarf around her neck, a red knit sweater and some jeans, who was beaming brightly at her.

"Uh... Can I... help you in anyway...?" the brunette asked slowly, while cautiously backing away from the beaming girl.

The violet-haired girl giggled slightly (which puzzled the other woman more), a look of pure joy in her eyes. "Oh, Mazaki Anzu, don't play dumb with me. Hello?? You know who I am. Just stop playing with me."

Sheepishly, Anzu waved her hand. "Uh... Hi there..." she said. "And... do I really know you?"

The other girl put on a look of hurt on her face which Anzu quickly saw and said, "U-Uh... I-I'm sorry if I said some thing offensive or anything! It's just that---"

She was broke off as the violet-haired girl went laughing. Anzu tilted her head to the side, puzzled before the other girl said, "Oh, Anzu! You're such a worrywart, even after ten years!"

'Ten years...?'

"Anyway Anzu, if you're going to play it that way, fine. I'm Nosaka Miho." She gave the brunette a hug which Anzu awkwardly returned before they drew apart. "Oh man, it's so good to see you again! I mean, you and Yugi just suddenly vanished and Atem went like a mad man and—"

She was cut off by a strange beeping sound. Miho looked at her wristwatch and shrieked in surprise. "Aaaah!! I'm going to be late for my job! Well, hope to see you again soon, Anzu! Gotta go!"

"H-Hey! Wait! How do you know about..." Anzu trailed off as the retreating figure of Miho disappeared from view.

After a while, she just stood there, dumbfounded by the whole scene that just came by in a blur. She scratched the back of her head.

'Well... She seemed nice enough... But... I don't even remember ever meeting someone like her before...'

Her reprieve was cut off when a deep voice called her name from behind.

"Anzu?"

Atem muttered a number of curses and profanities under his breath as the limo drove on to the Kaiba residence.

'Calling me out to a stupid meeting... "It is urgent." Ugh, what a lie. I bet the damn bastard is going to give me a long ass lecture again. Man, why do I put up with him? I would be out looking for my "woman" instead of going to some stupid meeting. Damn him, damn him, damn him...!'

His crimson eyes looked out the window for a while. Then his eyes caught sight of a familiar looking brunette talking with a violet-haired woman. He immediately took action, turning to the driver.

"Chauffeur!! Stop the limo, now!!!" he demanded.

The driver did as he was told, screeching to a stop. Atem stormed out the door, not even bothering to close it, walking quickly to the two women. He caught sight of the violet-haired woman being Miho before she suddenly looked at her wristwatch and began muttering like a schoolgirl.

Then the one word he never thought he'd hear anytime soon was said straight from Miho's mouth, "Aaaah!! I'm going to be late for my job! Well, hope to see you again soon, Anzu!"

He soon stopped in his strides as he heard that name. The name of the woman that plagued his mind and thoughts for the past ten years. He snapped out of his reprieve as he heard the brunette call out to Miho. That voice... God, that voice haunted his ears...

Gathering up the courage, he slowly, but cautiously, walked up to the brunette. Clearing his throat, he called, "Anzu?"

He saw she jumped a bit in surprise before slowly turning to meet him.

And then blue eyes met deep, crimson ones.

Anzu just stared at him curiously. It took everything she had to not say Yugi's name then and there, she thought it would upset the man. But he looked just like Yugi, but a bit older looking. Same hairstyle, but his tanned face, crimson eyes, and sort of dangerous aura around him made him different. Yet he seemed vaguely familiar to her...

It was still the same, the hair, the eyes, the face (even though it looked more mature), everything! She was still the same Anzu he remembered and loved. A smirk slowly curved up his lips, finally finding the most important thing to him for almost over ten years.

'I found her again... Thank God she isn't hurt... That bastard. He better not have touched what is "mine."'

He scowled at the mention of his younger brother but that soon died away as Anzu regarded him suspiciously.

"Umm... Can I help you?" she asked politely.

He smiled. And the same attitude. Some things never change. But the question itself baffled him slightly. Why would she ask a question like that? She should know who he is...

"Ummm..." Anzu fidgeted slightly in her position. The man was staring at her for the past few minutes. "Is something wrong?"

Atem finally snapped out of his thoughts, a small smile upon his lips.

He replied, "No, nothing's wrong, little angel. I just... finally found something very important to me..."

She giggled for a moment at the nickname he used, causing the smile on his face to widen a bit.

"Well, I'm glad to hear that, sir. By the way, who are you?" she asked innocently, almost too innocently.

This question alone smacked the smile on his face off. He stared at her as if she was going mad; she simply just tilted her head in curiosity.

"Wha... What did you ask, Anzu?" he asked slowly.

"Well... You're calling me 'Anzu' and I don't even remember meeting a person like you... Um, what's your name?"

The words twisted themselves into his chest like daggers. He couldn't believe this! How could she not know him! She must be playing a joke! Yeah, that's right! She must be! But...

The look on her face and the full curiosity in her voice sounded much like someone who hadn't known him. Did something happen ten years ago?

"But you should know me, Anzu... You should! How could... How could... Don't you know me? What happened ten years ago??" he shouted, causing her to cringe.

"W-Well, s-sir... All I remember ten years ago was meeting a young man named Mutou Yugi and that doctors told me that... that I have a case of amnesia. So, again, who are you?"

Dun, dun, dun!!! Oh no!! Anzu has amnesia! What will happen now?? How's Atem gonna react, you guys?? Find out in the next chapter! Please leave a review and PEACE people!! Bye now!!
