RECAP: Anzu let everything sink in. She finally had her own dance studio! Anzu smiled closed her eyes and twirled. This was a dream come true. Anzu stopped twirling and looked up at the roof. She had to ask Honda Jounounchi and Yugi for some help tomorrow. Anzu blushed a bit as she thought: 'Maybe Yami could help too.' Anzu shook her head shaking the thought away. She packed her things and ran home. Locking her knew dance studio before she left.

What Anzu had failed to notice as she was running home someone was watching her with a warm smile on their face

"Anzu-chan you're love life needs some help. And I have a feeling this place will be that help. With a little from me of course." Then the person disappeared knowing the first phase of their plan was complete

Summary: Yami and Anzu are having trouble admitting their feelings for one another and to themselves as well. What happens when a mysterious person wants to help them with both problems with some meddling and a little magic!

(A/N: To my readers there will be a surprise in this chapter that may cause these sanctums: Falling out of chair, fainting, screaming out of happiness, screaming out of rage, getting mad at me, and attempting to kill me. Okay now that, that's done…On with the story!)

Chapter 2: a new enemy

It was about an hour past the time Anzu was supposed to be home. 'Oh man mom and dad are going to kill me!' she thought as she was running home bumping into a few people along the way. Anzu was too much in a hurry to say sorry though.

"Anzu…" A voice whispered. It was faint cold and gentle like the wind. No one else seemed to hear it except Anzu herself. The sound of her name being whispered into the wind made Anzu come to an abrupt stop. The heels of her shoes screeching in the process to her abrupt stop.

Anzu turned and looked for anyone she might know. She didn't see anyone she knew. Anzu raised a brow in a confused and questioning manner. 'Strange…I could've sworn I heard someone call my name. Maybe it was just my imagination.' She thought and went back to running.

Somewhere in the distance

Two shadow figures stood in the distance. "The girl has some similarity to her. But are you sure it's her?" the first shadow figure questioned. "Positive only one girl could mean so much to the pharaoh and have a deep connection with him as well. It has to be her!" the second shadow figure answered.

The first shadow figure pondered for a moment then got an idea. "If the two of them are connected like you say they are…let's try a test run." The second shadow figure raises a brow. "How so?" The first shadow figure smirks evilly. "Let's kill her…If the pharaoh and she have a deep bound then he'll feel her in danger and come to save her but if he doesn't… he'll lose her. But it's not much of a loss if you ask me."

The second shadow figure smirks evilly as well. "Alright, let's do it." The second shadow figure raises a hand and dark killer shadows begin circling it. " Not right now moron!" "Why not?" The first shadow figure looks up. "Because Bakura over there might intervene." The second shadow figure looks up now and growls. "Damn it! That bastard is protecting her too? Why? I thought he hated the pharaoh!" "He does, he was even going to use this girl to weaken the pharaoh! But apparently through his time of planning and waiting to attack he fell in love with her!" (A/N: Surprise, Surprise! I love my job! PLEASE DO NOT KILL ME!)

The second shadow figure releases the killer shadows it had summoned before. "Well I guess that we're going to have to wait. But how long exactly?" "Not long only till morning that's when the bastard goes back into the ring." The first shadow figure says while smirking. "And Yami?" The second shadow figure asks.

"Without the boy Yugi he can't do anything. He is just a spirit without a vessel." The first shadow figure continues to say while still smirking evilly. "Great but how do you propose we get the puzzle away from Yugi? We can't take it from him. That would only bring his and Yam's guards up. This would lead them to be more protective of their friends. Which would lead Yami, and Yugi and Bakura to be extra protective of you know who."

The second shadow figure says while pointing down to Anzu. The first shadow figure smirks bigger. "Yes, but what do all three of them have in common?" The second shadow figure thinks of all three and realized. "They're all in love with her!" (A/N: Just for future references Yami's not aware of his feelings for Anzu yet let alone Bakura's) "Yes and rivalry between two people always leads to broken friendships so let's HELP Yami with his romance life with Anzu. Shall we?" "We shall." And they disappear in the mist of the night.

Back to Anzu

"Huh, huh, huh, made…huh…it." She grabs her keys from her pocket, unlocks the door and walks inside. Taking off her shoes in front of the door closing and locking it. "Mom Dad! I'm home!" Anzu didn't hear a response so she goes in the kitchen to see if her mom is there making dinner. But she doesn't see anybody. Anzu does see a note on the fridge though. She picks it up and reads it. "Dear Anzu your father and I wanted to tell you in person but it never seemed like right time. We're leaving Japan for three years on a business trip. We won't be back anytime soon but we will be sending money every week. We love you sweet heart sincerely mom and dad."

Anzu bit her bottom lip and crushed the note in her hand. "You just got back from a business trip a week ago. And you promised you wouldn't leave anytime soon." She said while tears fell out of her eyes. She should've known better than to believe her parents when they said they weren't going to leave.

They always said that than the day or so they end up leaving for a couple of months. But three years? Come on! Anzu couldn't take it anymore she ran up stairs to her bed room and plopped on her bed crying into the pillow. Thinking of one person she wanted there to comfort her. 'Yami I need you.' That was Anzu's last thought before she drifted off to sleep. Little did she know the source to her call heard and felt her pain and plea.

In the puzzle!

(A/N: Eeeepp! I finally get to put in Yami!)

Yami was meditating in his soul room with his eyes closed when he felt something pulsate in him. *B-bmp!* 'Yami I need you…'Yami's eyes shot open and he stood up from his meditating position. He knew that voice anywhere.

'Anzu?' Yami had felt her sadness and her pain. 'Something is wrong!' Yami was worried. 'Why in the hell is she so sad? Damn it! She's feeling like this and I can't be there to comfort her!' Yami wanted to see her. He needed to know why she felt this way. Yami clutched his chest where his heart was and closed his eyes shut. 'I need to see you…Anzu.'

Somewhere else

"Akita their ready for phase two." Akitasmiled sweetly and took her true form. "So I see, huh…these two are so romantic! She said squealing "Alright you two want to see each other than see each other you shall! She said while winking and waving her wand.

Back to Anzu!

A light on Anzu's mattress began to glow around her and she was awakened by it. "Uh…Huh? What the?" next thing Anzu knew she was falling forward in a portal full of light screaming.
