Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Deserts Millennium Heart ❯ Yugi ( Chapter 2 )

"I still can't see how Kaiba can go against Pharaoh's wishes." Anzu said to Jou, she sat on the floor, her hands were kept over her head by the chains.

"That's what I heard anyway...." Jou said. "Maybe he is cold hearted."

"It sounds more fitting for a Pharaoh." Anzu said. "Cold hearted...unkind..."

"Yeah, your right."

"Jounouchi, your time in here is up." a guard came and took Jou out of his sell. "Now get out of here."

Jou looked at Anzu. "Bye...."

Anzu watched at Jou walked away, then she felt a sharp pain in the side of her head. "Ah..." the guard had fired a stone at her, he laughed as he walked away.

Blood trickled down over Anzu's head, and over her face, it got in her eyes and in her mouth. She spat and shook her head with pain. She never felt so much pain in her life, and she definitely never bled as much. She was about to close her eyes went she heard foot steps on the stone steps.

"Oh dear god!" Anzu looked up at a shocked Yami and Ryou. "What the hell?" Yami kneeled down in front of Anzu's sell and looked at her. "Ms. Mazaki...?" he said in a low voice.

Anzu looked up at him, the blood was gone from her eyes, but it still rolled in great amounts down her face. "Pharaoh." she said in a weak voice, she lifted her head up high, not showing the pain she felt.

"What the hell happened to you?" Yami asked.

"Why would you care..." Anzu whimpered and her head feel forward.

"Mazaki..." Ryou gasped. "Are you ok?"

"No...she's not..." Yami picked up a stone and hit the lock, breaking it, he did the same to the shackles that were around Anzu's wrists. He scooped her up and looked at Ryou. "Come on...she took a heard it in the head...she might not last much longer."

~~~~~

Anzu's eyes fluttered open, she found herself in the warmth of Yami's bed, she was wearing a white gown, and there was a patch on her head. "What the..." she looked around. "How did...? Why am I here...?"

"Ah, you are awake." Ryou poked his head inside the room. "The Pharaoh will be pleased to here this." Anzu was about to speak to him, but he was gone.

"Pleased?" she asked. "Ah..." she pressed her hand on her head and winced. "It hurts..." she whimpered out loud to herself.

"Yes, it will hurt for awhile." Yami said softly as he walked in the room, he closed the door behind him.

"What am I doing in here?" Anzu asked.

"Well..." Yami sat on the bed in front of Anzu. "You were bleeding pretty badly...so..." he looked at her. "The rest explains itself."

Anzu just looked at him, this wasn't the Pharaoh she heard about. He seemed caring, and his eyes weren't as cold as they seemed. "Thank you." Anzu said.

Yami shook his head. "Don't. I don't need any thanks." he sighed. "And you will probably take it back after I tell you...we can't let you leave."

"Wh-what?"

"Seto thinks we should keep you here." Yami explained. "I'm sorry, I would rather let you go."

Anzu sighed. "What about Ishnew? Where's my brother?"

"Your neighbors." Yami said. "Your friend volunteered." Anzu nodded and looked down. "You are pretty brave." Yami said.

"Hmm?" Anzu looked up at him.

"I said your pretty brave." Yami said. "Only few stand up to me like that, and I don't blame you, the taxes shouldn't be raised."

"Then why are you raising them?" Anzu asked.

"Seto thinks..."

"Do you listen to everything the high priest says?" Anzu asked.

"He knows best." Yami said.

"But I thought the Pharaoh was the one to make all the decisions."

Yami shook his head. "Not this Pharaoh."

"I see..." Anzu looked at him.

Yami took off his head dress and placed it on the stone floor. "Well, if you feel like it...I could give you a small tour of the place..."

Anzu nodded. "I'd like that." Yami smiled and lead her out of the room.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Damn Yami." Seto said looking over at Yami Bakura and Yami Malik. "We need to do something about that Anzu girl." he looked over at the regular Ryou and Malik, who were chained to the wall of Seto's chamber, then back at their Yami's. "Any ideas?"

"Don't harm her!" Malik yelled, he rattled the shackles. "She never did anything wrong!"

"Oh shut-up, Malik." Seto waved his hand, making Malik and Ryou go out cold. He looked at the Yami's again. "Anything? At all?"

"Sorry master." Yami Bakura said.

"Yami Malik?" Seto asked. "Anything at ALL?" Yami Malik shook his head.

"Your both useless!" Seto bellowed. "Get out of here and act as those mortals! Find a way to get rid of her!" Yami Bakura and Yami Malik both rushed out.

Seto turned to the large picture of Anzu which was hanging over the window. "You got away from me before Mazaki..." he said with a scowel. "But your not going to get away from me this time...I'll get you....and that disrespecting Yami of yours too!"

~~~~

"We end the tour here..." Yami said stopping at a door. "This is where you will be staying."

"Wow...my own sell." Anzu said with a sniff.

Yami chuckled. "No, its not a sell." he pushed the door open, revealing a large room with a big, beautiful bed, it had a balcony, and everything you would find in a room fit for a queen.

"Wow..." Anzu looked around at it in an awe. "I thought for sure I was going to end up back in the jail....not..." she looked at Yami.

"I wouldn't put you back down there." Yami said. "Now, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Can you try and get in touch with Jounouchi for me?" Anzu asked. "He's the only friend I practically have at this time."

"Met him in the jail did you?" Yami asked. Anzu nodded. Yami smiled. "Sure, I'll do my best..."

"Thanks Pharaoh." Anzu said.

"Call me Yami." Yami said walking back down the hall.

Anzu sighed and walked into the room, closing the door behind the door. Down the hall a little ways Yami Malik and Yami Bakura watched. "She's more beautiful in person." Yami Bakura said.

"Yeah, too bad we have to get rid of her." Yami Malik said.

"Run it by me again WHY we have to do this..." Yami Bakura said looking at Yami Malik.

"Remember? Back before Kaiba wiped out every bodies memories?" Yami Malik asked. "Anzu found out about her Millennium Heart and her Yami. Her Yami gave her powers unspeakable! Kaiba could only delete the mortals memories and put Anzu's Yami to rest for a few years." he looked at the door. "Now that Anzu is in here she will find things helping her remember what happened, and things about her will make everyone else remember. That's why we need to get rid of her, if her Yami comes out she will reveal what he really is."

"Yeah, I remember." Yami Bakura said. "But I just don't want to destroy something so...beautiful."

"Neither do I. But if we don't want to be destroyed, we better listen to Kaiba and do this." Yami Malik said.

"Boys! Just who I was looking for!" Yami said from behind them.

The two Yami's quickly turned around, clearing their throats to make them sound more like the regulars. "Yes, Pharaoh?" Yami Bakura said in his best Ryou voice.

"The lady wishes to see Katsuya Jounouchi." Yami said. "Go into town and find him."

The two Yami's nodded and walked away frowning.

~~~~~~~~~~

A knock came on Anzu's door. She jumped in surprise and walked over and opened it. A way shorter version of Yami stood there. "Who are you?" she asked looking down at him.

The boy chuckled. "My name is Yugi." he said.

"You look a lot like Yami..." Anzu said allowing Yugi to walk in.

"Yeah. The reason why I'm here is because they once thought I was Yami. But then they saw that I wasn't." Yugi smiled. "Yami took a fond to me and kept me here. We have been best buds ever since." Yugi then remembered why he was there, he pulled in a food cart in the room, piled with dressings, meat, fruit, and small cakes. "I'm also the cook, and Yami wanted me to give this to you."

"Wow..." Anzu said, looking at all the food.

"Also, he wanted to give you this." Yugi held out a long-stem blue rose. "These are rare around these parts." he said. "Yami thought you would like it."

"Oh my god..." Anzu took the flower from Yugi and looked at it. "Tell him...I love it..."

Yugi chuckled and walked out of the room, leaving the food cart behind as he closed the door. 'Yami is going to be happy.' he thought.
