CHAPTER TWO

CAPTURED!

Anzu and Isis giggled along as they headed for a local bystander selling fruits and vegetables. They caught the eyes of many young men, Isis with her exotic eyes and thick black hair, and Anzu with her grace and beauty. Anzu bought a loaf of bread, three hunks of cheese, a few apples, a few fish, and meat with two gold coins. Isis smiled. Whenever Anzu and Isis visited, they would eat and style, and the vendors always let Anzu slip away with a few extra apples or so.

Anzu and Isis decided to stop for a drink at a local shop. They were chatting, Anzu about life in the desert and how Crystal (her horse) had grown her mane and coat so smooth and shiny without even a grooming brush.

Isis told her about Jou Katsuya and Honda Hiroto. "Jou's blond and cute, and has a very funny manner. Honda is so tall! He's brown-haired and brown-eyed and a hunk."

"Where'd you meet them?" Anzu asked nervously. Her best friend was Isis. Nobody else, and she didn't have any other friends except nature, Crystal, Egypt, the animals, and the other human friend, Malik. She was scared Jou and Honda would find out about her secret.

"They're harmless. Look, there they are now!" Isis waved over to two cute boys about eighteen-years-old. Anzu smiled weakly. Obviously Isis had forgotten about Desert Rose.

Over to Jou and Honda

"Hey, Honda, who's the babe Isis is with?" Jou glanced at the astoundingly gorgeous girl sitting across from Isis.

"Dunno. Never seen her around before." Honda smiled at Isis. She was so beautiful, and he was unaware of the even more beautiful girl sitting across from her.

Just then, Isis waved to them to come over. Jou and Honda nodded, and walked calmly up to the pair.

Back to Anzu and Isis

Jou and Honda came over. "Hey, Isis." Jou had a big, puppy-like face, and a huge smile.

"Hi." Honda held a hand up shyly.

"Hey, guys! This is Anzu. Anzu Mazaki. She's my best friend." Isis grinned. Anzu smiled weakly, revealing a few pearly white teeth.

"Hi!" Jou's eyes lit up, revealing a bigger glint of mischievous fun in his eyes.

"Hello." Anzu kept her tone as icy as she could, even though she lint out a hint of glimmer in her eyes.

Jou took a good look at the girl. He had seen her before. Somewhere. She looked vaguely like Desert Rose. Desert Rose had once kindly given Honda and him twenty gold coins. "Hey…you look like Desert Rose!" He boldly grinned.

"Jou…shut up. If anybody here is a spy for catching Desert Rose, Anzu might be arrested, even though she isn't Desert Rose, and Jou, you might be taken away for further questioning!" Isis knocked Jou over. A couple of the Pharaoh's guards saw the pretty raven-black-haired girl shove the boy.

"Man disturbing you, young lady?" One asked. They were all drunk. They other four caught sight of Anzu.

"Wanna dance with me?" One asked drunkenly.

"Not a chance." Anzu curled her fist into a ball under the table. "Get lost."

"Hey…young lady…I am a high officer…you better dance with me…or else…" The man lost his coordination, and pulled Anzu into his tight hug.

"Get off of my you stupid numb-sucking brainless stinky-breath drunken stupid bimbohead!" As the man pulled her into an ancient Egyptian waltz and tried to kiss her, Anzu punched him smack in the nose, used surprising strength to flip him over her head, and left him groaning with kicks and punches. "You don't know who you're dealing with, you imbecile."

"A pretty lady?" Another guard advanced, regardless of injured guard on the wooden floor. They were all drunk, and messed up to their heads. Anzu let him pull her close and get close to her before smashing him with her glass of lemonade and ramming him outside to the sand. Another guard came behind her. She just absentmindedly flipped him over and he fell in a heap next to the other guard.

"Anzu, stop it!" Isis whispered. "Don't pull the rose, or they'll know who you are!" Jou heard this little bit.

`By Ra, it's Desert Rose! I knew it was her!' Jou wanted to spit it out, but he knew he couldn't, because he'd never see Anzu again.

"You're under arrest, young lady." The leader announced drowsily.

"For what? Defending myself?" Anzu smirked.

"For stirring up trouble for me." The leader replied, dazed.

Anzu smiled. She could have a little fun. She thrust herself in front of the guard. "Then tie me up." She moved her hands forward in a motion to surrender.

Isis's eyes widened. Anzu was actually letting herself be caught. "No, Anzu!"

"Sorry, Isis. This nice guard will take me to prison where I belong." She winked at Isis, and whimpered a puppy face at the guard.

Anzu and the guards rode to the palace, and he offered her a drink. She refused. She knew the glass had memory-loss powder in it. As the guard cornered her, she ducked and the guard smacked his face on the carriage door.

Another guard knocked her unconscious. Actually, fifty of them did. It was quite a commotion. They poured the drink down her throat, and Anzu forgot about Desert Rose.
