Me:Hello my lovelies, did you miss me?

Bakura:No, its only been one day.

Me:That is true. Well anyways, this is the second to last chapter. I know, its been a fast story

Anzu:Not really

Me:Also, I did something terrible. KAIBA WASN'T IN THIS STORY

Everyone else:*GASP*

Me:I know, but I promise, he will be in the next one. Lets just say in this one, he was in Canada doing Canadian things. (No offense sorcess) I don't own Yugioh and never will. Elecktra belongs to Sorcess of the nile. I only own the story and the Mazaki family. That is all. No flames.

Bakura:Aren't you a ray of sunshine

Me:Yes I am. This chapter might be short, so I apologize

"Anzu"

Anzu stirred in her sleep, hearing a voice call to her from the hospital. "Anzu.." She opened her eyes to see her father sitting in a chair close to her bed, looking at her gently. "I'm glad you're awake."

Anzu sat up straight in her bed. "Dad! What are you doing here? Get out!"

He held up his hands in defense. "I just came here to talk. Calm down."

Anzu snorted. "I'm surprised Elecktra didn't chew you out."

"Actually, she did. It kind of hurt. She can be vicious."

Anzu rolled her eyes and looked around the room. She smiled to herself. Her hatered for hospitals still burned deeply inside of her. She turned back to her father. "So what do you want to talk about?"

Arashi sighed and leaned forward in his chair, taking Anzu's hand. "I'm sorry Anzu, I'm sorry."

Anzu looked at him with an annoyed look. "Sorry? It's not your fault Akio's gone."

He sighed. "No, I'm sorry for being unfair and resentful towards you. It just is still hard for me to accept that he is gone."

Anzu looked at him for a long time. "Me too. For a long time, I have blammed myself."

Arashi shook his head. "I realize now it wasn't your fault. How could a 10 year old plan her brothers death? That doesn't make any sense. But for a long time, it did in my head."

"Akio isn't gone. He's still with us."

"I know, but its not like seeing him everyday. You two were very much alike."

Anzu gave a sad smile. "I know. But, everyday gets better as time goes on, but you never forget the person."

Arashi squeezed her hand. "And that's why I want to make things right. I can't bring him back, but I can try to make things right."

"How?"

"By starting over. By being there for you. I wasn't there when you needed me. I was being selfish and not ever thinking about how you were feeling. I'm sorry Anzu. Can you forgive me?"

Anzu thought for a moment. Forgive her father or go on resenting him the rest of her life. She thought of Akio, feeling sad that his family was resenting one another. But then again, her father was trying to make things right and wanting to be a family. It would take time and a lot of effort, but they could do it. The Mazaki family was strong.

Anzu smiled softly and squeezed her fathers hand. "I...I forgive you. I want to start over too."

He smiled. "Thank you Anzu. It won't be right away, but I hope you can find a way to love me again someday."

Anzu raised an eyebrow. "I never said I hated you."

"But you didn't say you loved me either."

Anzu bit her lip. "Dad...that day of the car accident, would you rather it have been me instead of Akio?"

Arashi stood up and leaned towards his daughter. "I didn't want to lose my boy, or my girl." And then he kissed her forhead before leaving the room. Anzu gave a silent sigh and leaned back in her bed, basking in the afternoon winter sunlight. She wondered how long she had been here. Looking at the calender, she realized that she had been sleeping for 2 days. Yikes.

"Knock, knock." a voice interupted. Anzu looked at the door to see Hiro standing in the doorway with a grin on his face. Anzu smiled at him. "Hey."

"Hey is for horses."

"Ha ha very funny."

Hiro grinned and sat down in the vacant chair next to her bed. Anzu's smile fell when she realized something. Hiro was here. Normally, he never would've gone to a hospital. "Hiro, what are you doing here? You hate hospitals."

He smiled softly. "When my little sister tried to kill herself, I knew I had to be here."

"Oh Hiro."

He nodded. "And also, I have something to say. I'm sorry too."

"Sorry for what?"

"For not being there for you when you needed it. I mean, we're not as close as some siblings, but still...I should have been there for you more."

Anzu patted his hand. "It's okay, I'm not upset with you. I do have one question though, One night, mom said you were having dinner with friends. What were you really doing?"

Hiro looked her in the eye. "I was talking to Dad about you. We got in a fight because I was mad that he resented you. You may not realize it, but you are very dear to me."

Anzu nodded. "Thank you."

"No problem, but I also have another thing. I was jealous of Akio."

Anzu was shocked. "You...you were jealous of Akio?"

He nodded. "Don't get me wrong, I loved him as much as everyone else, but you two had something you and I never had. A bond."

"Oh, Hiro...I'm sorry you were feeling that."

He shrugged. "I'm alright now. But I just wanted you to know how I felt." Hiro got up and began heading towards the door. Before he left, Anzu called out towards him. "Hiro!"

"Yeah?"

"Dad wants to start over, for us to be a real family. Can we try again?"

Hiro paused, and then a real genuine smile crossed his lips. "Yeah, I would like that." He was about to open the door, when Bakura suddenly opened it. He and Hiro stared at each other square in the face. Hiro smirked. "So Anzu, this is your boyfriend?"

She blushed. "Bakura, this is my brother Hiro."

Bakura nodded. "Yo."

Hiro looked at him before holding out his hand. "You saved my sister. Thank you. But I have one word of warning to say to you."

Bakura raised an eyebrow before shaking his hand. "Oh, and what would that be?"

"If you hurt her, I will kill you."

Hiro left before Bakura could say anything to him. Bakura stared at the door before coming to Anzu. "Why does everyone think I'm going to hurt you?"

Anzu laughed. "Because you did it before."

He frowned. "True," He sat down and faced Anzu. "I'm here to...apologize." he said the last part through his teeth. Anzu smiled, knowing he didn't apologize to people very often. Or at all. Anzu took his hand. "I forgive you, but you need to work on your listening skills."

He smirked. "Yeah, I guess I do." He leaned down so that there noses touched. "So I'm forgiven?"

She smiled. "Yes."

He smirked again and leaned down to kiss her. Anzu melted into it. His lips tasted like cinnamon and were very warm. Much to here disapointment, it ended soon. He pulled away and let out another smirk. "Now that's what our first kiss should have been like."

Anzu's jaw dropped. "O...Our...our first kiss? When did this happen?"

He sighed. "You weren't breathing, so I had to do CPR."

Anzu closed her jaw. "Oh."

He smirked again. "Do you want a third?"

"I do." They were about to meet again when the door opened to reveal Elecktra and their friends. Elecktra smirked. "Were we interupting something?"

Bakura glared at her. "Yes, I was about to kiss her passionatly."

Elecktra snorted. "You were going to make out with her weren't you?"

"Yes."

Elecktra sighed and looked at Anzu. "We'll be back later when you two are...finished. Ta ta!" She looked at Bakura with an evil glimmer before adding, "And remember, no hickeys!"

Anzu blushed while Bakura rolled his eyes. The minute they left, he pulled Anzu out of the bed and placed her on his lap, swooping her lips for another kiss.

Me:Hahaha short and sappy

Bakura:I liked it :)

Me:You only liked it because you got to make out with Anzu

Anzu:-_-

Yuugi:I'm glad Anzu's dad apologized.

Me:me too. Things will be looking up for Anzu now. I think. Anyway, review!
