Sorry for the long update... And thanks for the reviews, guys!
Chapter 5
Found
Anzu was in the dark room, standing there with no direction. She then remembered that she was fainted and unconsciousness dragging her.
"Where am I?" she asked herself and looked around the place. Nothing. Its just a black. Then she looked a small light on her direction which bigger and bigger and eating her. Anzu almost shouted in fear. She heard a voice was waking her up. The voice that she longed to hear yet she didn't want to hear it again. Not in her broken heart state.
"Anzu! Wake up!" the voice was begging her to wake.
Anzu then woke with her eyes widened, she inhale and exhale slowly and looked at the one who was calling her.
"Pharaoh." She muttered when she saw the tri-colored hair with accessories around him.
"Anzu…" Atem locked his amethyst eyes on her blue eyes. She looked around and found her friends and the priests were worried and relieved that she finally awake.
"Where am I?" she asked, more to herself but she knew that she didn't dream. She has discovered. And her friends were seeing her.
"You are in my room, Anzu." The young Pharaoh reassured her as she looked at him with disbelief. 'His room? You gotta be kidding me. So, I was caught when I was running huh? Tch. I really cant win Atem and Yugi.' She looked at Atem and Yugi with a sigh.
"Anzu! Where have you been? We were so worried! You were disappeared for 2 years and you didn't even tell us or email us! And now, look at you! You were in Egypt!" Jounouchi shouted at the girl who gripped tightly on the blanket that covered her.
She knew that was wrong to not tell them the truth, "I…am sorry." She muttered calmly, her bangs covered her eyes. Her friends looked at her and pitied the girl.
"Anzu. Where have you been these 2 years after Atem's left? Is it because your heart went broken and you run away from your life?" Yugi calmly asked the girl, Anzu took the surprised but shook her head signing that she wont tell them. Atem turned his head on Yugi then to Anzu again, 'Its because me she went disappeared?' he thought painfully.
Jounouchi almost screamed at her when Mai smacked his head and yelled at him to not asking any questions to Anzu. Shizuka's tears flowed down and went to hug Anzu who was surprised.
"Anzu… Oh Anzu… We were so worried that… that you might have died." Shizuka sobbed on the brunette chest. Anzu stroked her hair and smiled, "Thank you, Shizuka."
Atem 's heart was joy that his long friend has finally back but he still have his eyes suspicion on her, why she ran from them? Why she didn't want to tell them where she was in 2 years? So many questions that he wanted to ask her.
Then something ringing on her pocket, it was her blue cell-phone. She pushed Shizuka slowly and went to her phone to pick it up. Miki's name was in her screen name but she was hesitant to answer because of her friends and Atem's priests eyeing her. She looked at them, slightly her eyes was asking if she could answer the phone. They nodded and smiled. She then pressed the call button.
"What's wrong?" she plainly asked.
"Well well well. Praise me again 'cause I have found another clue! Hohoho!" Miki laughed with her proud voice. Anzu sweat-dropped, her partner could be so overreact to herself.
"Never ever in my life. Tell me what it is. And for your information, I didn't find any. Darn it. The sun burned my skin and my head was spinning." Anzu groaned painfully and rubbed her head.
"Oh my dear, just go rest then. Anyway, I found that some citizens told me that aside from seeing the suspicious man they also spotted that the man when to a small alley on the west which I could say it connected to Mehen's house direction." Miki said with a serious tone.
Anzu's face went serious as she nodded, "Well, we could assume that suspect went directly to Mehen's direction's house. Did they tell you that he went to somewhere near Mehen's house?"
"No. They said they didn't know it."
Anzu sighed, "I guess this will take long. How about the code name?" she asked her partner at the end of the phone.
"I was asking the C'sS to the citizens but they said they didn't know what is that name." Miki shrugged.
"Okay then. I will try to find something more again. Hope I don't get this pain in my way."
"Just take care yourself, okay? Bye!" Miki hung the phone. Anzu shoved the phone to her pocket and looked at her friends who have this asking faces on them and frowns. She really had done something wrong. She should have not answered the phone and this is a big mistake to her.
'Shit. I ruined it! I was carried away when Miki told the clues! Oh joy!' she thought panicked.
"Anzu.. who is that? What's this sort of things you were talking to your friend? Who is Mehen? What suspect? And what is code name?" Atem demanded on her answers as she took a back and looked down, no respond from her.
"Anzu! Tell us! What are you searching at? We could help you!" Honda said to her, almost shouted at her. The priests were wondered what she was searched at. The Ishtars eyeing her curiously.
Still no respond from her. Atem then looked at his friends, telling them that she has to take some more rest before she told them the whole story. They have to agree to the Pharaoh since Anzu has admitted to someone on the phone that her head was spinning and in pain. They walked away to the door. Anzu sighed and tried to have some sleep before she secretly went out from this room.
"She has fallen asleep." Bakura looked at the girl who has drifted to sleep.
"I think her head really did hurt." Mai crossed her arms.
"But… this is weird. Why she didn't want to tell the story where she has gone in 2 years?" Jounouchi groaned angrily.
"Calm down you midget. She definitely has the reason." Seto glared at Jounouchi who went silence, afraid that Seto will smack him.
"I will talk to her. And you guys, please have some rest." Atem smiled at them as they went out and waved at the Pharaoh.
"Atem really do care Anzu, huh?" Mai playfully said.
"You think so? They might make a cute couple." Yugi chuckled, his childish never left him.
"Well, we must come back to Domino City after the Pharaoh revived." Bakura stepped in.
"And leaving Anzu? I guess not." Jounouchi snorted.
"Then, why don't we take her? Her mother might miss her too." Shizuka said which make a good idea to everyone.
Atem's room. 5.30 p.m.
Anzu woke again, feeling freshen after some sleeps she intended to run away from this situation, 'I really am a good actress. So good that I almost blurted my secret.' she thought sarcasm.
'Once I found Miki, I will wreck her neck for calling me in front of Atem and the others.' she tried to walk with her shaky legs but no luck. She tripped down when suddenly someone's arm has caught her before she tripped to the floor, she looked at the colored skin which tanned.
"Uh… Atem.." she stood up and blushed, her face went embarrassed that Atem has caught her from falling.
Atem smirked, "Anzu… Glad you are awake." He helped her and brought her to the couch. 'I can't run. What am I going to do?' Anzu struggled to find a way out.
"Are you okay?" Atem asked.
The brunette looked at him and smiled faintly, "Im fine. Thanks."
He nodded and sat next to her, "Say, you disappeared after I left?" Anzu nodded. "I am sorry…Anzu." Atem bowed his head down which surprised the brunette.
She quickly shook her head, "N..No… Its not your fault, At—Pharaoh! Really!" Atem turned his head to search for her beautiful blue eyes but frowned, "Pharaoh?" he chuckled, "Now I'm not pharaoh anymore. Just call me Atem." Atem laughed, Anzu was grateful that he didn't ask any questions about her.
"Yeah, right." She muttered.
"So, how have you been?" Atem asked her.
"Never been better." She smiled warmly to him making the other self of Yugi flushed a little but hid it. He didn't want Anzu looked at his red embarrassing face.
"Are you willingly to tell where have you been in those years?" Anzu almost choked her throat. She went on silence as her mind struggled to find any excuses. 'Oh man! This is bad! Not that I want to tell him but.. argh!' Anzu tightened her grip on her pants, Atem noticed it and held her hands with his warm and big hands.
Anzu blinked and looked at the former pharaoh. He was trying to reassure the girl. "You are not ready, aren't you?" Anzu nodded.
Atem understood her situation, "Okay then Anzu. Just tell us whenever you are ready to." He smiled to her and shoved her stray hair behind her ear. She blushed madly but tried not to reject or backed away because she liked it.
"Urgh… Atem.. Can I…" she cut off by Atem who put his finger to her lip.
"No Anzu… I don't want you to leave us again. Stay here." Atem brought her head to his chest. Now Anzu definitely went all red, her blood rushing up and her heart beating faster. She could her Atem's heart beat faster too. They stayed there long enough to make the situation more awkward.
'Since when Atem could act protective to his friend?' she asked herself confused by the sudden Atem's bringing her head to his chest. Atem still held Anzu's shoulder protectively, not wanting her to leave him.. alone.
"Atem… I really have to. I have to go back my hotel and take a shower." Anzu bluntly said what she wanted to say although it wasn't totally lie because she has to confirm Miki's clues into her note book. The tri-colored hair chuckled and nodded.
"Alright Anzu. Just take care." He escorted her to the front door, Anzu realized that the scenes of the hall resembled to the hotel she just got. He looked at Atem's room number. 217.
'Oh great. Now I just realized that Atem stayed right next to my room.' She face-palmed herself.
"What's wrong Anzu?" Atem asked with a slight concern eyes.
"Uh… Its nothing. Well then, bye." She pretended to walk away but stopped when suddenly Atem pulled her wrist. Anzu was surprised and turned her head to see the boy with red tomato face.
"Erh… Could you come to join us dinner tonight at 7 p.m.?" he hesitantly asked, Anzu could see a small tint red on his face. She smiled, "Of course. Why not?" Atem then smiled to her and released his grip on her. She walked away from his room, passing her own room.
Atem then took the last glance on her as she disappeared in the right corner. He then went inside and closed the door. Anzu hid in the right wall as she sighed defeated, 'Today was definitely crazy.' she tip toeing her feet not wanting to cause any noisy. She knew that if Atem stayed in this hotel the others might stayed in the next room. She took the key card on her room. 216.
She threw herself on the bed, seeing that Miki hasn't come back, she took a glance on the clock. '6 p.m. huh? I still got some time to think of the hints.' She then pulled her black note and pink pen, writing on the white paper vertically.
'5 days ago.. hm… If I could predict, tonight will be the night the killer went out.' She then shook her head, 'Impossible.' She thought finally. Atem's face flashed on her mind as she widened her eyes.
"Atem…." She muttered.
"I was happy that he finally came back to the future… but… I don't know what my heart is about to say. I don't know. I have closed my heart to any guys so that I wont have those heartbroken anymore." She placed her both hands in clasped on her forehead.
"Please… don't hurt me more than this…" she muttered deeply. After 2 minutes sitting there she decided to have a shower. Taking a cold shower which she believed will clear her mind.
Phew... Done!
Good? Bad? Review!
I really need to improve my grammars *sigh*
