As Yugi and Co walked through the mist that Marik had created they spotted Anzu standing in the middle of the mist and for some reason she was wearing the outfit of the Dark magician girl and what was even weirder was that her eyes seemed completely empty.

"Anzu Are you Okay! Anzu! Answer me! Please Anzu!" Yami shouted while shaking Anzu. They all just watched in Horrer as Anzu's body was shooken like a rag doll.

Finally Bakura had had enough. "Pharaoh you Idiot she's gone! Lost!" He cried fighting back tears, "I Was to stupid to think! I didn't look where I was going! And look where it got me! Anzu is gone! It's all my fault!" His knees gave way as he fell to the ground not really caring what happend to him. And he cried tears streaming down his face, hot tears that burned his skin but he didn't care. He had lost the only thing he ever truelly cared about and why? all because of his stupid pride.

Someone grabbed him by the shoulders and his face was immediatly hit by a fist. Blood pricked down his face mixing with what was left of his tears. As he found himself face to face with an angered Yami.

"You. You! YOU! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" He screamed pointing at Bakura.

"Yami calm down it was an accident." said Yugi as he tried to reason with his darker half.

"No Yug Yami's righ'. We lost Anzu because of him, It's all his fault! Him and his stupid pride." said Joey who looked the same way as Yami. The others just stared wide eyed. Both Joey and Yami were beating Bakura up, but he didn't cared it was his fault all his fault.

Bakura woke up with a start the hairs on his back were standing up straight. 'Did that really happen? Did Marik really come back? Did he really take away Anzu's soul?'

He quickly ran up the stairs to his room opening the door. There was Anzu on his bed lying there just as peacefully as she had been last night. He smiled when he remembered how she got there.

Flashback:

He had just come back from the shadow realm and once again overpowered his weak hikari's body and took it. Not for good but for long enough for him to grab his deck. He had the element of surprise on his side. There was no way the Pharaoh would win this time. 'I still have to organise a plan. I to make sure the pharaoh's little friends don't meddle things up.'

While he was looking through his deck the doorbell rang, he got up slowly to see who it was. 'It better not be the pharaoh he'll know straight away if it's me.' He walked slowly and carefully.

"Ryou!" Came a shout through the door. 'Wait I regonise that voice.' "Ryou! Open up!" 'Yes It belongs to that young girl that's always cheering on the pharaoh.' He put on his best Ryou Impression and opened the door.

"Hell-" but he was cut of when she immediately threw her arms around him and started crying in to his chest. He stood there for a while not fighting against the fact that he enjoyed being in this position. They stood like that for about half-an-hour when she pulled away taking away the warmth he had felt.

"I'm sorry Ryou." He was brought back when she said his hikari's name and realised that she would've never put her arms around Bakura, the same Bakura that had caused her and her friends such harm.

"It's O.K Anzu. Now why don't you tell me what's bothering you." He hadn't said that. It was Ryou.

'So hikari, you have some fight left after all.'

'I will not let you hurt Anzu Bakura.'

'Oh really? And how will you stop me if I decide to?'

'Bakura, I'll let you take over my body for a whole day no questions aked. Just don't hurt her.'

'Oh really? And what will you do if I do hurt her hmm?

'This.'

Bakura suddenly felt pain in his stomache.

'I've learned a seceret Bakura, If a hikari wishes to hurt a Yami they can do so just like you can hurt me.'

'Fine! I'll keep her safe and you don't do that for a whole 24 hours.'

'Good.'

"Come in Anzu, please take a seat." he said smiling, she smiled back, a sort of thankfull smile which made his heart skip a beat. "Thanks Ryou. I knew I could count on you." she smiled again.

"So what happened?" he asked once they got to the couch. "Well you see...

Flasback in a Flashback confusing, huh?

Anzu was walking down the street, Yam had told her to meet him in the park. At 8p.m Why? She had no clue.

As she walked through the gate a wind blew at her above her ducks had tooken flight and it looked about time for a sunset. If anything it was really romantic and it was the time where couples were normally out to make-out or something.

She spotted Yami on a bench at the lake.

She walked up to him. "Hey Yami." she said smiling "What's up?" he looked at her and smile.

"Anzu there's something I've been meaning to ask you for a while." he said seriously,

"No Yami! I swear I didn't cheat on the test and it wasn't me who robbed the bank either!" she said playfully. Yami laughed a little before going serious again. "See Anzu, You make me laugh your one of the few who can do that. When I first met you I felt butterfly's in my stomache, and when I'm around you I fell like I can do just about anything. Anzu...what I'm trying to say is that...I love you."

Anzu's whole world seemed to stop when he said those three words. 'But this is what I want right? I mean I've wanted this ever since I first met Yami. So why do I feel so confused? Do I love him or was it all just a silly school girl crush?'

She didn't have time to make up her mind because Yami's lips came crashing down on hers. She gasped and he took advantige of it by forceing his tongue in to her mouth, she tried to pull away but he was to strong so she did whatever else came to mind she slapped him.

Yami stood there shocked by it all. "Anzu... I don't know what came over me, I swear. I'm so sorry." he said but it barely came out as more then a whisper.

She couldn't take it anymore she turned around and ran, she ran, and ran straight out of the park, getting odd looks from people passing by. She kept running to the closest house she knew and the only person who wouldn't stick up for Yami just like that, but to someone who'll listen to her before jumping to conclusions...Ryou.

End flashback in flashback. Still confusing?

"And that's what happend." she cried hugging him again.

'Holy hell! What do I do? Ryou!'

Pat her back, and say reassuring things.

'LIKE!'

I don't know! How 'bout 'It's OK' or 'Everythings gonna be fine.'

'But they both mean the same things'

Just say it

'Fine!'

With that he shut their link. "There, there, Anzu." he said while rubbing her back. "I'm sure It's fine. Everything will be O.K, I promise. So for now just let it all out." He had no clue where those words came from it was like he knew exactly what was needed to say and do.

Slowly her breating evened and he knew she was asleep. So he carried her up to Ryou's room, pulled the cover's over her, closed the light and left leaving the door open.

Once he got downstairs he fell on to the couch and before he knew it was asleep.

End Flashback

He watched her stir in her bed, but she didn't wake. He started feeling angry with the pharaoh for hurting Anzu, he was mad at Anzu for not fighting back and he was mad at himself for caring about what happened to her.

He just couldn't understand what was happening. 'It's just like the Pharaoh said I think I'm in love with Anzu.' No no he couldn't love her! 'I am incapable of love! It is out of the question!'
