30kisses challenge
Title: Pharaohs make the worst patients.
theme 28: Wada Calcium CD3
Pairing: Yami Yugi/Anzu Mazaki

Warnings: AU in the aspect that Yami won the duel against Yugi and was awarded his own body. Battle City Manga & Yu-Gi-Oh R reference. Slight reference to an unpublished scene in my fanfic Yu-Gi-Oh Z!
Yugi is a bit OOC
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!

"no, Yugi!" The pharaoh struggled, trying to get away from his impish hikari. I will not take that Ra forsaken pill he keeps forcing down my throat. He thought as he wrestled to get out of Yugi's grasp.

Yugi shook his head. "Geeze, Mou hitori no boku, it's only a calcium pill and since you are technically OVER 9000! You seriously need to take it." He stated placing a foot on Yami's chest to hold him down on the floor. Yami glared up and huffed at him. "Aibou, I'm 3032*, not over 9000 and as the King of Games, I REFUSE TO TAKE IT!" Yugi held his hand out and, closing his eyes, dropped the pill.

Yami saw the little pill heading for his mouth and summoned a small amount of shadow magic to shatter the pill against the wall.

Take that Yugi! Yami smirked as Yugi left to get another pill. He quickly disappeared.

A few hours later, an exasperated and pill coated Yugi Mutou went to the Domino Museum. I hope Ishizu can atleast help me get the Pharaoh to take a simple pill.

Ishizu chuckled at the game prince's predicament.
"Yugi, why don't you ask his queen to give it to him" She chuckled. Yugi mulled it over in his mind.

I don't know who would kill me first? Yugi thought, Yami with his Shadow Magic, or Anzu with her fist of death. He's still really protective of her, but then again after almost becoming Pegasus's vessel who could blame him. If she were kidnapped again the world would suffer a far worse fate. He shook his head, sending Wada Calcium CD3 dust everywhere, and headed to Ishizu's office.

"C'mon ring." He whispered into the phone, "the pharaoh's vessel commands you to get his queen's attention!"

"And One two three, turn 1 2 3…" Anzu's dance instructor clapped in time with the music. "One two three…" She heard the faint sound of "Warriors" starting. She asked her instructor if she could have a few minutes break.

"Hello" she asked
"Anzu, it's Yugi. Sorry for interrupting your dance class, but I could seriously use your help. It's about Yami."
Her face paled, "Yugi, what's wrong with him? Is he sick, has the Millennium Puzzle come to recapture his spirit?" she asked, concern evident in her voice.

"Anzu," Yugi started, "Yami has started having flashbacks to the time Yakko Tenma kidnapped you and…"
"Yugi, STOP!" she nearly screeched. "That time was the most horrifying experience in my life."Even though that's when Yami and I realized we had strong feelings for each other. She mused.
"Anzu, meet me at Burgerpalooza after your class, please. I'll tell you how to cure Yami of his flashbacks." Yugi begged. Anzu agreed and then quickly went back to class.

She couldn't get class over fast enough to meet the spiky haired man at the restaurant.
"So what's happening with Yami?" she asked after Yugi ordered for them both.
"Anzu, he's been really worried about you lately. He nearly sent Slypher the Sky Dragon after me a few nights ago. I'm lucky that I'm his hikari and have magic of my own to counter his." Yugi answered, I hope she falls for this. I can't believe I'm this desperate to get him to take a pill. He whispered in the furthest recesses of his mind.
"Ishizu said that maybe you could help. She said something along the lines of 'the Pharaoh's beloved queen may be the only one to save him…' I can't remember, but Anzu please help me." He got down on his knees and begged. Anzu shook her head, "Yugi, I'm not really sure if this is a good idea…"
"Onegaishimasu?" he begged, looking up at her with the biggest kitty cat eyes. "Please Anzu, it's for him. Yami isn't feeling well, and seeing you might help cheer him up." I'm using a hypnotic spell on her that Yami taught me. He thought in the recesses of his mind.

Meanwhile at the Gameshop
"Yami, you ok man?" Joey asked. "Joey, I'm not." He replied, "Lately I've been feeling my actual age."
Joey shot him his classic "nyeh?" look. "Man, your age? You mean ya real age from da past or da one from your new body?" Yami had to bite back the urge to send shadow magic at Joey and turn him into the Red-Eyes Black Dragon. He facepalmed as he sighed. "Joey, I meant my real 'from the past' age. Joey, I'm over 3000. What do you expect? Not to mention Yugi wants me to take some Ra-damned medicine he thinks will help."

Joey chuckled before seeing a Red-Eyes forming from magic. "Yami, Yami, take da meds. Even if they are disgustin. Yuge's just worried about ya pall. Here I'll duel ya at da docks. Ya know, the same place where we dueled in Battle City. Only dis time we'll duel on our own terms, no psychos controlling minds, Yam' just us."

Yami shook his head, "Fine Joey" He sent a shadow spell into Joey's mind to see if there were any ulterior motives.

While Yami was carefully selecting his cards, Joey texted Yugi.

Yuge,
You sure dis is a good idea. I'd rather he duel Kaiba. Man, Pharaohs are so stubborn.
I'm glad I have my Red-eyes Black Dragon guarding my mind from his Shadow Magic.
Well, see ya & Anzu at the docks.
Jou

P.S. No Anchors please!

Yugi nervously chuckled at that. I hope Yami won't kill me with the most intense spells he knows.

"O.K. Yugi, just tell me honestly why are we reliving yours and possessed Joey's duel?" Anzu asked as they walked over to the docks.

"Because Yami has to take this pill & I'm desperately running out of ideas. Anzu, your boyfriend is worse than a cat when it comes to taking medicine. He might take it from you though." Yugi replied. "O.K, here's my plan…"

Yugi hands Anzu the calcium pill "When you see Yami and Joey, place that between your lips like you did with that other pill. Yami will think that once again you're in danger and he has to save you. I don't know what will happen with Joey, but right now I'm too desperate to care. I'm doing this for him."

"What if it doesn't work?" Anzu asked.
"I'm hoping it does, because I seriously don't want to resort to plan Z." he replied, shuddering in revulsion.
"What's plan Z?" she asked
Yugi points to his lips, "I take your place in this plan. Let's face it, the thought sickens me, he's like my elder brother."

Anzu winced, If Yami doesn't kill you I will. Her conscious mind hissed.

"O.K. Joey we're here." Yami said, slipping on his duel disk.
Joey texted Yugi
Yuge,
You duel him.
you can face his shadow powers.
I'll watch with Anzu.
She's actin kinda funny though.
Did you hypnotize her?
Jou

"Mou hitori no boku. Welcome to the Ceremonial rematch. I've taken Joey's place and will be your opponent. This duel decides Anzu's fate. You win, she lives. You lose, she dies. It's that simple." Yugi said as nonchalantly as possible.

Yami gasped in horror, "Yugi!" He cried, his voice deepening with rage. 'Stop this madness! Anzu is your childhood friend and you're repaying her friendship with death?"
"Yes, her friendship speeches got annoying after a while. She chose YOU over me, Yami and that hurts!" Yugi snarled. "Look over there." He pointed over at Anzu "do you see the pill in her teeth, she even touches it with her tongue she'll die. It's a very powerful poison. Once it touches saliva it activates and she is dead on arrival.

"Then let's duel!" Yami hissed.
The two duelists engage in a heated duel, each one giving it their all.

Yami is seriously going to kill me when he finds out what that pill actually is. Hopefully she'll faint at the right time. Yugi mentally whimpered.

"Yami, I had a feeling you were going to use that card, so I put it in the golden sarcophagus. It's effect is negated and there goes your monster and the rest of your lifepoints! Anzu please faint, touch the pill with your tongue and faint. Yugi cackled.

Anzu falls like a stone

"!" Yami screamed as he cradled his limp and lifeless queen.
"Looks like miss shining friendship has died." Yugi whispered in Yami's mind.
Yami glares at Yugi, making the game prince's blood turn to ice. Yami takes his entire deck into his hand and summon's Slypher the sky dragon
"Aibou, Any last words before Slypher toasts you?!" He hissed.

Yugi hung his head, "There is a way to save Anzu, she isn't completely dead." He whispered.

"How?" Yami asked
"Kiss her passionately, Yami." Yugi replies, Kiss her and she will be completely back to normal, my hypnosis spell will wear off.

Willing away the tears from his eyes, Yami gently lays Anzu down on her back. He lowered his head to where their lips were just a hair's width from touching. Their lips met and the passion consumed them. Anzu skillfully took control and slipped a little pill into his mouth with her tongue. The two kiss rather passionately until they needed oxygen.

"Yami? What are we doing here?" she asked as Yami cuddled her against him.
"You're safe now," he whispers as he carries her out to meet Joey.

"Hey Yami!" Joey cried excitedly, "Let's duel!"
Yami chuckled and shook his head, "some other time Joey." He replied. Joey chuckled and clapped him on the back.

Joey would soon regret doing that as when he did, the pill flew out of Yami's mouth and landed in the dirt. It was then that Yami recognized the pill.

"YUGI I'm GOING TO MIND CRUSH YOU!" Yami yelled, "That was that Ra-forsaken pill!"
Yugi bolted.
