Hello my dear readers! Here I am with the third chapter of my story! And with Malik too!

Yami Marik- Why in the name of Ra you keep calling me Malik? Most of the fangirls call me Mariku.

Grace0331- Simple. 4Kids.

Yami Marik- You watched the #$%ing version of 4Kids?!

Grace0331- Yup. I grew up with it. And even if it's boring I don't hate it like others do.

Yami Marik- Ok. Just tell me why did you make me so fluffy?

Grace0331- Because you're in love idiot..

Yami Marik- What's that?

Grace0331- Man this is going to take a while.. I'll tell you after you make the disclaimer.

Yami Marik- Fine. Grace0331 doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh or the characters in it. She owns just the story, Grace and Arena.

Anzu finally arrived home after a long boring and yet interesting day. Her mind was filled with thoughts once again and this made her look more tired. She let the things that she had bought at the grocery store on the table and then fell on the sofa. Anzu wanted to sleep but in the moment she closed her eyes she imagined 'his' face. "What the..?" She thought while opening her eyes immediately."What is going on with me? Why am I suddenly thinking of Malik? We just bumped with other.. That's all... But still.. He has a very muscular body.." She thought, then blushed and shook her head furiously. "What the heck am I saying? I can't think about him that way.. I mean.. I still haven't recovered quickly from what Yami did to me.. I can't.. I just can't.." With that final thought Anzu turned on the TV and kept switching channels. She was bored out of her skull. She then turned off the TV, sighing when suddenly the phone rang. She responded:

- Hello?

-/Hey Anzu.. It's me.. Yami../

Anzu's face dropped immediately. She wasn't expecting this sudden call phone. Her voice now was more serious while she said:

- What is it Yami?

-/Look Anzu, I know you are very sad about the fact I was cheating on you, but belive me! I'm very sorry about this.. I should have told you that I was going out with Mana.. And please! Don't blame Mana! It wasn't her fault! I told her I dumped you so we could go out together!/

- Yea.. I know this part.. She told me..

-/I feel shame for what I have done to you.. You were always there for me. Supporting me.. Loving me.. And I cheated on you.. But I should have told you I had feelings for Mana../

- Yami, there is no need to apologize this much.. I forgive you..- she said, her voice softening a bit.

-/Really? So we can still be friends, right?/- Yami said with hope in his voice.

There was a brief silence between them. Yami then broke it.

-/You silence means no?/

- Oh no Yami! I think.. We can still be friends..

-/Thank you Anzu! You will always be one of my best friends! Goodbye!/

- ...Bye..- Anzu said and heard his phone shutting. She then shut her phone too and her eyes begin to water. She did it. She forgave him even if he broke her heart. Tears slipped down her cheek while she tried to stop. But it was stronger than her. She felt useless. Like she was alone.. Alone in the whole world. Anzu got up from the sofa and went to her bedroom. She wasn't hungry. She reminded Yami's voice. Such a confident voice that always made her feel good.. And sometimes uncomfortable. Yet, when he talked to her, she could hear real shame in his voice. That was the reason she forgave him. But still, she was alone. That night, Grace was going to sleep at Mai's house because she missed to stay at her old house. Anzu lied on her bed trying to get all of her thoughts out of her head. Finally, she managed to sleep.

|The Dream|

A girl with orange hair and a smirk on her face went closer to Anzu. She said:

- Now, now Mazaki. It's been a long time since our last encounter, now has it?

- What do you want Kaoruko?-Anzu said and fear could be heard on her voice.

- I just want to say something to you.- Kaoruko said while her smirk was growing with every step she took.

- If it's about Malik, then I assure you that he means nothing to me.- Anzu said.

- Oh... Well I don't care if you have no interest in him..-she said going closer to her, making Aznu take steps back till her back met the wall.- He is interested in you.

- W-what do you mean?

- I mean that you should be punished for making him fall for you!- Kaoruko said, slapping her.

Anzu held her cheek that was now red and tears fell from her beautiful eyes. Kouruko slapped her again, but with more strength. Anzu fell to the ground. She looked around hoping to see someone she knew it would protect her. But no one was there. Kaoruko then grabbed her from the neck and said in her ear:

- Now it's better for you to shut up, or you'll end up pretty bad.

Anzu just nodded. Next thing she knew it was that the only thing she could see was blank...

A masculine voice called her name that it made Anzu jump a little.

- Apricot girl! Where are you? Come on! There is no time for games! Anzu!-the voice said.

Anzu was tied up. She struggled to get free but she couldn't move. She was in a dark room. Anzu tried to scream. The voice was coming closer.

- Anzu! Are you in there?

She could recognize that voice. She couldn't forget it or the owner of that voice. The door that was like six meters away from her opened and she was blinded from the light. The boy said in an Egyptian accent:

- Oh Ra! Anzu! You're tied up!

Anzu could see his deep lavender eyes that were staring at her. She then noticed she was half-naked. She blushed at that but then the blush became deeper when she felt his tanned skin touch her soft one. The platinum haired boy cut the ropes and let her free. Anzu screamed of joy and then hugged him. She could feel some of his spiky platinum hair touch her face.

- Malik! Thank you for saving me!- Anzu said while tears kept falling from her cerulean blue eyes.

Malik stared down at her body. He could see bruises and cuts everywhere. He then took off his shirt. Anzu blushed furiously and said:

- W-wait! W-what are you doing?!

Malik than gave his shirt to her and said:

- Wear it.

- Oh! Um.. Of course..- She took it and started wearing it.

When Anzu was finished Malik picked her up in bridal style and carried her away from that dark place. He then let her sit on one of the school benchs. This ment they were still at their school. Malik bored his dark lavender eyes in her cerulean ones and suddenly said:

- Who did this to you?

- I-I don't remember..- Anzu lied, lowering her head.

- Don't lie at me!- he said with anger.

- I can't tell!- Anzu shouted.

Malik's eyes softened while seeing the fresh tears that were forming on Anzu's eyes. He asked gently:
- Please Anzu.. Who was it?

Anzu was shocked. Malik was acting in such a gentle way. And with her! Malik had always called her 'Friendship Queen' or something like this. He called her 'apricot girl' too. So why suddenly he was calling her in name? She lowered her head again, but this time letting a sigh escape her lips.
- Kaoruko..

Anzu couldn't hear what Malik was saying. She could see only his lips moving. Then, after some tears fell down her cheek, she leaned closer to him, and gave him a soft kiss on the lips.

|End of the Dream|

Anzu woke up and gasped. "What in the world was that about?!" She thought. "I-I kissed Malik! At least.. It was just a dream.." She got up from her bed and went to the bathroom. She looked in the mirror. Her hair was messed up. she then took the brush and started brushing her short brown hair. Then she thought: "But the kiss... Seemed.. So real.." Anzu touched her lips and blushed. Then she shook her head furiously and thought: "Relax Anzu! Don't forget it was just a dream!"

After she wore the school uniform them she looked at the clock. It was 7.45! She was terribly late! Why didn't she turn the alarm clock on? She prepared a toast quickly, ate it and started running towards her school. "Damn it! The road from my house to my school lasts ten minutes! And after fifteen minutes the first class starts!" She sprinted to school and surprisingly she arrived 5 minutes earlier than she expected. She was going towards her class when someone stopped her by grabbing her wrist.

- Hello Mazaki.- a voice filled with hate said.

Anzu turned her head to where the voice was coming from and gasped.

- Ka-Kaourko?- Anzu said with fear in her voice as she hoped her dream wouldn't become real.

Grace0331- Yes! The chapter is finally over!

Yami Marik- So love is a feeling that makes someone even as cold as Kaiba to care for somebody? And cuddle and kiss?

Grace0331- Yes! Yes! You finally got it! So what do you think about it?
