Chapter 6

Killer

"You ask her?" Honda asked the tri-colored hair.

"Yeah. She seemed happy with my invitation. Don't you guys grateful that Anzu could join us dinner, at least." Atem tried to say the last word of 'at least'. They were sitting in the living room of the hotel downstairs. Atem and the priests were now wearing normal clothes rather than their Egyptian clothes. Apparently they were waiting for Anzu to come.

Atem was wearing a black sleeveless shirt revealing his muscular arms, blue pants with his black belt around his waist and black shoes. He didn't wear any gold accessories because those will attract the people so he just wore a black big bracelet on his two hands.

"Yes we do grateful of it, Pharaoh. I thanked you." Ishizu bowed, Atem asked her to lift her head because he was no longer a Pharaoh since he lived in future now.

"So, now we are waiting for her?" Mana asked Atem. He nodded and told them the story after Anzu woke up. Their smile turned to a sly smile which shivered Atem, he regretted that he told them.

"Yeah, I know it. Okay okay…" Anzu came from the entrance door with her cell-phone on her right hand; apparently she was talking to her partner about their researching.

"You better eat something rather than those green chilies! I warn you! You got stomachache for a week after you ate 50 of it for Lord's sake!" Anzu hissed at the phone with her angry tone.

"I wonder if she is calling the same person when she woke up from her pain." Shizuka put her hand on her chin. Otogi nodded, "Well, judging from her tone. I guess it's the same person with a stubborn personality." Honda and Jounouchi chuckled.

"What are green chilies? I thought chilies are red." Mahad asked the Pharaoh who shrugged.

"I think it was green chilies that you could provide in equator's countries. We don't get green chilies in this country."

"And don't work so hard. I know you...well..can't stand in Egypt but..just hold it, okay?" Anzu's tone soften and her eyes grew worried. The gang looked at her and frowned.

"Is the person on the line hate this country?" Marik asked.

"Well, maybe yes maybe no. Why don't we ask her later?" Honda shrugged.

"Yeah… sure… Bye." She pressed off on her phone and sighed. Shoving in her blue cell phone and looked at her friends who were waiting for her. "Oh, hello. Am I late?" she smiled delighted which relieved everyone. She was wearing a pink tanktop with blue jacket around her and white pants hugging her waist. She was wearing her white boots.

"No. In fact you are in time, Anzu." Atem smiled at her with joy on his heart that he could able to see Anzu smiled after those 2 years in Afterlife and blushed at what Anzu's was wearing. Anzu then went to talk to Mai and Shizuka normally like the incident just now never happen.

"Now guys! Lets go!" Jounouchi walked to the restaurant energetically, wanted to taste the foods as quickly as like an impatient dog. Anzu giggled seeing her longed friend, 'He never change, that Jounouchi." Anzu smiled observing her friends. 'Miki wont mind if spending a little time with my friends.' She hoped. Hoped that her partner wont yell at her. She was truly grateful that she went outside the hotel without anyone noticing her. She was doing some strolling though to prevent her friends knew that she lived just besides their rooms. To be honest. Why this happen to her she wondered.

"Hey Anzu." Yugi greeted her.

"Hey Yugi. Its so nice to talk to you again." Anzu smiled at the tri colored hair. Yugi smiled back to her, they went for some chit-chat about 2 years pass. Atem looked at the two best friends who were chatting about themselves in past 2 years smiling that Anzu could open to them.

They went to the tables but because they are about 8 guests from Ancient Egypt, 10 from Domino City and 1 from Japan which Anzu didn't tell them. Total are 19 which they will take 3 tables consisted 6-7 peoples. First table went to Yugi, Atem, Anzu (was being forced to sit with them), Shizuka, Honda, Bakura and Jounouchi. Second table went to Otogi, Mai, Isis, Seto, Ishizu and Shimon, the third table went to Marik, Rishid, Karim, Shada, Mana and Mahad.

Anzu sat on the chair next to Atem, well its not like she wanted to but some fates fell to her maybe. The whole gangs went to talk to each other before the foods arrive and that went to Anzu who talked to the boys happily. She really missed it so much yet she felt guilty that she lied to them about her work now.

'Snap of it Anzu. After the dinner I have to go to work with Miki. By the way, talking about Miki how will she stay without me? Certainly she always went energetic when finding clues and hints but what if she was kidnapped? Oh boy, I don't dare to dream it, at least not my partner.' She thought deeply, closing her eyes and reopened it again.

Atem looked at her with frowned, "Anzu, what's wrong?" his soft tone startled her. Anzu quickly smiled to him and shook her head, "Nothing Atem. I was just thinking what you all will do after this dinner. By the way, can I ask why you and your priests came to the future?"

"Its nothing big. We all were given a second chance to life in the future by the Gods. I was really joy when I finally could meet you, Yugi and the others." Atem smiled to the brunette. Anzu felt his face when hotter when Atem said 'you' which mention her firstly.

Anzu and her friends were in the middle enjoying their meals and seeing Jounouchi and Honda having race eating when Anzu's cell-phone ringing. She took her phone out from her pocket and looked at the display. Miki she thought.

She quickly pressed call button, "Hello?" she excused herself and went far from her table, she didn't want her friends knew this far of secret. So much for being discovered.

"Anzu! You wouldn't believe what I found on the way to Mehen's house!" Miki's voice panicked.

"What? Don't tell me that Mehen was… Oh darn it!" Anzu cursed herself failing to protect Mehen from the killer.

"Oi! Its not that! Mehen is save! Its another person who… I don't know if its coincidence or not but you better come quick here and help me on investigation. I'm sure you will interest in this one." Miki smirked at the end of the phone.

Anzu took a glance on her friends, "Do I really have to?" she asked Miki.

Miki 'hmped' angrily, "Of course, young Lady! Now come here and help me! It's our job coming to us."

"Okay okay… Geez… Where is the scene happened?"

"It's across Mehen's house. The polices have came and there are so many people now."

"Okay then. I will there in 5 minutes." She pressed off button.

'What should I explain? Sigh. So my prediction was right. But why he didn't kill Mehen instead other people?' she shrugged and went to the table where her friends were.

"Hey uh… look, I'm sorry that I cant stay here long. Its nice to have a dinner with you all." Anzu smiled nervously to her friends which made them frowned and confused.

"Where are you going?" Yugi asked, Anzu was about to faint by the question because the fact that she didn't know what to say.

"Somewhere. I just got called by my friend. So then bye!" she sped up her pace when Atem called her she stooped and looked at him, "Yes?"

"Are you going to a dangerous place?" he asked.

Anzu went silence, 'Yes. Quite dangerous for whoever didn't experience it.'

"Then we are going with you. Im not risking my old friend to go to some dangerous places." Atem walked towards her with a smirk while Anzu made her eyes widened disbelief of what Atem had told her. Her friends agreed with him and nodded with confidence.

"Wa—wait… Im fine and you don't have to follow me." She waved her hands in front of her chest signing that she was fine by herself.

"Anzu… Please…" Yugi made a pleading eyes.

"Anzu… " Mai walked towards her. Anzu sighed defeated, "Okay then. Please don't ask anything when we arrive there, got it?" she sighed and groaned. Atem's smirk grew widely and nodded with his priests looked amused on Atem's decision they decided to tag along and if anything dangerous they will protect the young teens.

She turned her heels and ran out from the hotel followed by her friends. 'Oh dear, what should I say to Miki? This is bad.' She thought while running to Mehen's house.

After some runs, she spotted the people surrounding a house across Mehen's house. 'It must be where the scene happened.' Her friends have those quizzical faces when they also spotted the people.

"Hey, what happened there?" Jounouchi asked.

"I don't know. Maybe we should check it out." Yugi said.

"I don't think it's a good idea." Bakura spoke up.

"Anzu, you know what's wrong there?" Atem asked her however she didn't buy his question.

Anzu stopped behind the people who murmured about someone being killed. 'What? Someone was died?' Anzu raised her eyebrows up.

"Hey! What's happened?" Honda asked one of the citizens.

"There was someone being killed." The citizens said plainly.

Everyone except Anzu have their eyes widened disbelief. 'Ho, So this was Miki wanted me to know.' She went inside the people to see if Miki was there with the polices, saying 'excuse me' for about 5 times so that they could give her some more spaces to keep her walking in, she tried to not pushing from the others.

"Anzu! Where are you going?" Mai shouted at Anzu but still the woman ignore her friends.

The brunette then saw the body lying on the ground lifeless with blood spread away. The body was being stabbed by a sharp silver knife, with his mouth widened open in fear. It was a guy in mid-40. Anzu looked at him speechless not that she was afraid but pitied at the lifeless body. She looked around and saw Miki who was talking with one of the police.

"Miki!" Anzu approached the girl.

Miki turned her head and saw Anzu walking towards her, "Yo Anzu! Have you seen it?" she implied to the lifeless body. Anzu nodded.

"Wow, sorry. Im sorry, please make the way." Jounouchi and the others were trying to push away the groaned citizens to see what's going on.

The gang gasped when they saw the lifeless body with bloods around. Shizuka quickly turned around and hugged Jounouchi in fear. "Someone has been killed." Ishizu looked pitied on the guy.

Atem, after looking at the corpse, his eyes wandering around to find a certain brunette. Anzu and Miki went toward the corps with polices behind them, their faces went in serious mode as Atem and his friends looked at Anzu in confused.

"Anzu! What are—" Atem was about to say what was she doing when Anzu cut him by putting her finger on her mouth shushing him and the gang.

"The corpse was being found about 7.25 p.m. ago, the citizens told that he was still alive when the knife went to his heart and then died leaving a short message." Miki explained to Anzu who nodded then looked at her watch.

"Now its 7.40 p.m. So he was died after 7.25 p.m.? Hm.. so he has died about 15 or 20 minutes. Was there any evidences around when the killer come?" Anzu asked her.

"Yes there was. They saw the killer was wearing a brown cloak with hood so they didn't recognize his face. And we found the weapon stabbed his heart and it stopped after it went cut down all the systems. Anyway the victim has wrote a dying message just over there." Miki pointed to the ground next of the corps. It was written 'C'sS'.

"Oh joy!" Anzu spoke sarcastically.

"Hey, what are they talking about?" Jounouchi frowned seeing Anzu talking with the girl.

"I don't know. But they seemed looked really like a detective or police. Could it be she is…" Yugi gasped.

Atem still locked his amethyst on Anzu who talked to Miki with a serious face. 'Hm… Is this what you been hiding to us, Anzu?' he thought solemnly.

"And the knife... It was strange. It was stabbed horizontally. Usually it was vertical, wasn't it?" Miki pointed to the knife. "Unless the killer got a special training of become an assassin since stabbing horizontally isn't quite trendy style killing these days."

Anzu knew that longed after she saw the body, "Yes I knew it. Apparently they were fighting when the killer brought the knife out. But, is this connected to Mehen and Mary?" Anzu crossed her arms, pondered about how the connection came.

"We should check the house too. I think we could get some clues." Anzu nodded and went to the house. They asked the permission to check the house with the polices who in charged in sealing the house. "Anzu wait!" Yugi shouted at the girl who turned to face the boy.

"Yes?"

"Are you… Could it be that you…" Yugi was about to say that she was a detective but Anzu just smirked and cut him.

"No. Im not what you think of. Im just here to help my friend." She pointed to Miki who widened her eyes unbelief and sent you-brought-them-here face.

They didn't move when Anzu went inside the house with her friend, "Yugi… What are you going to say?" Bakura asked him with a confused face.

"I don't know but I thought she was a detective. Maybe its just my imagination.."

'Detective..huh?' Atem still locked his gaze on Anzu who walked inside the house with a suspicious raven hair girl.

"They seriously are weird huh?" Jounouchi crossed his hand.

"They might hiding something on us." Marik said.

"But, I believe Anzu! Maybe she has a reason to hide something on us!" Shizuka stubbornly said.

"Yes I know, sister. But in the mean time we have to keep an eye on them.." Jounouchi said softly to his sister.

"Don't worry, Shizuka. She will tell us one day." Mai soothed the girl.

Shizuka nodded, holding her tears from her brown eyes. "Now what?" Priest Seto asked.

"We wait..." Atem said much to surprise the gang, "Yugi, why don't you explain to us what is a detective?"
