Chapter 4
Reunited… almost
Hotel's restaurant. 3.00 p.m.
Anzu gasped and pressed a hand to her chest as she felt a spark of sorts flash through her. 'Wh-whoa..what in the world was that? It felt like something was pulling me, but what?' She shrugged it off and went to her investigation. She was now wearing a blue inner shirt with white jacket covered her, short black pants and white boots. She also wore blue glasses and her hair was tied in semi-ponytail.
She sighed, 'Why I was wearing glasses and my hair tied up? Oh yeah, it was so hot and the glasses looked cool. Well whatever.'
A waitress came to her delivering her food, it was a salad, soup, and some grilled lamb. Anzu thanked her and started to eat slowly, she still aware with the situation around. She looked again to her black note and started reading it. 'Is it possible that the suspect didn't leave any clue? Then this suspect must be clever enough.' she mused silently, hand gliding through the salad.
Then, a sound from the past drifted towards her. It was a sound she never wanted to hear anymore but at the same time, she missed it terribly. Jounouchi was blabbering about foods along with Honda and Yugi who laughed. Shizuka and Mai soft voices and giggles, Bakura and Otogi who were talking about monsters, and the Ishtars were walking quietly. Anzu blinked in surprised and panicked but she calmed herself, taking a deep breath and released it. She pinched herself preventing her from being squeaked out. Eight tanned skin came along and one of the them attracting her eyes as she gazed carefully, she widened her eyes with a huge surprised.
Atem.
Atem has came back. 'Oh My Lord! Atem! He…has came back?' Anzu felt joy on her heart knowing the truth he has came back to the future and it wasn't a spirit! Atem was in his own body. Flesh and bones. But the fact smashing her, her friends included Atem must not see her or she will be doomed, 'I have to go. This is dangerous.' She panicked, quickly she ate her remaining grilled lamb. She put down the money when suddenly her phone ringing. She saw the screen it was Miki. She sighed, 'Great timing.' she silently cursing. She pressed the call button.
"Hello? Miki? What's wrong?" she asked slightly covered her nervous and panicked.
"Yo Anzu. I got some clues! Ha! Praised me!" she proudly laughing as I laughed sarcastically at her proudest.
"Not funny and I wont praise you. What's the clue anyway?" she raised her eyebrows and tried to walk out from the restaurant. She saw they were discussing about the seats. Anzu quickly hid her nervous and panic as she concentrate on Miki's clues.
"Well, its this guy I investigate on the west market place. This quite a strange to me and I swear it was slightly different from the one we want to find." Her voice went on solemn, the brunette frowned and walked past her 'friends' with her head bowed down.
Yugi looked at the young woman who passed them had this chocolate brown hair that was tied up into a semi-ponytail. Sky blue sunglasses hid her eyes, but he surprised himself when he imagined blue eyes behind the black leans. She was holding a blue cell-phone on her right hand. Apparently she was calling someone. Jounouchi followed his friend's gaze and he too was strucked with the fact that she was...familiar to him. "She looked familiar." Jounouchi said to the gangs as they looked the back of the girl curiously and nodded except the priests which they didn't know who is that young woman.
Atem eying the girl more curious, 'Her back, her body, her scenes everything on her seems familiar to me… Who is she? Its like I knew her from somewhere.'
"And what is that?" Anzu asked once she passed Yugi and the others, she sighed softly, relieved that she had passed them and now she have to get out from the hotel.
"The guy said that they seen someone suspicious with brown cloak near Mehen's house but it wasn't directly to Mehen's house instead it was another way. In other words, the suspicious guy was near in Mehen's house but not in his house." Miki tried to explain to Anzu. The brunette choked her throat. 'What?' she thought.
"Then, this must be really a mystery. That suspicious guy must be the one who sent the message to Mehen, but what I was curious at why he didn't face Mehen's house instead another way. Tell me, when was it happened?" Anzu asked.
"You wont believe it, it was 5 days ago." Miki smirked to herself. Anzu slightly surprised and smirked too.
"Ha! So he really is the killer." Anzu shot coolly.
"Yep, and they were all my small clues put together. I'll let you know when I have some more. By the way, did you eat?" Miki asked at the on the phone.
"Of course." Anzu rolled her eyes. "But you wont believe who I saw there."
"Try me." Miki huffed.
"Remember my friends?"
"Yeah. Yugi, Jounouchi, and the others. What about them?" Anzu could know that Miki was nodding.
"They are here at the hotel. And guess who were with them?"
Miki gasped and asked Anzu who were they.
"Atem and the priests."
Silence.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Miki shouted at the end of the phone.
Anzu abruptly pulled the phone away from her ringing ear., "Geez Miki! You don't have to shout! I too was shocked but they were here.. alive.. flesh and blood." The brunette finished her last sentence after she found her voice which dried out from surprised.
"You cant be serious. The Pharaoh from 3000 years ago?Just make sure they dont see you at all." Miki adviced her partner who nodded cautiously. She hung the phone. Anzu pressed off and put her blue cell-phone on her pocket.
"Time to work, Anzu." She slapped her face lightly and walked away.
Jounouchi and Honda have eaten about 5 plates and Yugi tried to stop them but no result. Atem and the priests looked at the guys who seriously thought they have never eaten in a week. Seto frowned seeing Jounouchi and Honda as he tried to eat his own food.
"Are they always like that?" Mana asked Shizuka who smiled and nodded.
"It was fun though." Shizuka laughed softly followed by Mana's giggled.
Atem sat there in silence, he didn't even touch his food. He just looked straight with a blank expression, arms crossing each other and deeply in thoughts. Yugi and the others recognized Atem's silence and went to ask him.
"Atem, what's wrong?" No respond.
"Hello? Earth to Atem!" Jounouchi waved his hand on Atem's face.
The tanned skin startled out and looked at his friends who looked at him curiously, he shook his head, "I was just thinking... the girl that have passed over. She looked familiar. But I couldn't remember who she is. Its really killing me." He confessed. Yugi looked at his 'brother' sympathetically, he didn't what to say but he also too curious about the girl. It was a familiar scenes coming from her.
"Could it be… Anzu?" Ishizu spoke out much to surprise everyone especially Atem. "How could I forget! She really looked familiar with Anzu!" Atem snapped and stood up to catch the girl.
"Hey Atem! Where are you going?" Jounouchi shouted before he went outside of the restaurant.
"Im going to find out who she is." He smirked widely. The gangs smirked at him and went searching with Atem. Leaving the foods out, they went out to see no one there. Must be she had left out earlier than they.
"I wonder where she went to." Seto looked around.
"Lets split out. It would be easier to find her." Atem dismissed them with their nods they went into a different directions.
Anzu on the other way was still talking to some citizens and found nothing. 'Oh joy. Its like the clues are hiding from me.' She thought sarcastically. After she wrote down all the citizens comment on her black note, she put it on her pocket and sighed.
"Joy. Im stuck here. I wonder why Miki could find a clue in such a fast. Even I couldn't find any!" she stomped her feet annoyed. 'Maybe I must take some rest today. My head is spinning. I guess I have walk around in the sun bright for merely about 1 hour and 30 minutes and that's making me more annoyed with no clue. Darn it! Wait. If I went back, Yugi and the others would find me! Argh! What should I do?' she scratched her head vigorously, didn't know what to do she walked without any direction.
She heard running steps from her direction and looked up, it was Atem and Yugi. 'My God! Oh joy, here they came.' She squeaked softly and backed a step. 'They definitely were searching for me or no? Argh! Was my disguised failed? No time for that. I must run away.' She quickly averted back, trying to look calm walking back and went to the right. Running for her life.
Atem and Yugi were running to find the brunette, after they spotted her who was walking in confused they sighed relieved and planning to approach the girl. Unfortunately for them, the woman averted back and walked away from them after she looked at them with her glasses still on her eyes. They were confused and tried to walk towards the girl. The woman was turning to her right and sped up her legs. They quickly went chasing her.
"Hey you! Wait!" Atem shouted to the girl who didn't look back.
'As if. Like hell I would.' Anzu thought while still running but unfortunate for her that she tripped on exhausted. 'Oh no. I ran out of energy! Must because I used too much power on running and the fact my head is spinning right now.'
Her vision went blurry but she could still saw that the two tri-colored hairs went approached her but she could only see their shadows rather than their faces. Her pain slowly eating her consciousness as she tried to maintain her eyes from being fainted. She could see the tall shadow was about to reach her with his strong hand.
The next she found her vision went dark black. She fainted on someone's arms. Atem carried her with bridal style and rest her head on his well built chest protectively, he tightened his grip on the brunette girl. Anzu could only felt that she was carried by someone and got this warm feeling on her heart.
