The Moon's Curse

Chapter 1: Change of Eyes

A young man stands alone in a park watching the sunset. He is fairly short and has red and black spiky hair with blonde bangs. He seems sad like he had suffered too many tragedies during the short years he had spent on this planet. His violet eyes seemed cold, made this way by all the suffering that he had endured.

The young man watched as the sun sunk behind the buildings of Domino. And he thought to himself /why am I here? The only thing I have left is the game shop and that really doesn't even really matter much anymore/

Yuugi turned around and started walking. /everyone is gone. First Anzu then Grandpa both dead within a month. Then Yami started ignoring me, and now Jou Honda and Ryou have all gone off to college/

A tear had been forming in the corner of Yuugi's eye but he wiped it away /if Anzu hadn't killed herself then everything would be different now. I remember what happened so clearly. It seams like only yesterday it happened/

~*~*~*~flashback~*~*~*~

Yami is standing alone watching the stars in the sky. It seams like he is waiting for someone.

"Y-Yami?" a quiet voice asked from the shadows of the trees.

Yami looked around for who had called his name. Anzu emerged from behind the trees and walked into the moonlight.

"Hello Anzu. Why did you ask me to come here? Why do you wish to speak with me instead of with Yuugi?" Yami asked

Anzu just stared at Yami and did not say anything.

"Anzu, are you all right?" Yami asked concern in his voice because it was very unlike Anzu to be this quiet. She was usually on one of her friendship speeches which so annoyed all her friends which were to polite to tell her to shut up.

"I don't know. See the thing is Yami…" Anzu trailed off.

"Yes?" Yami prodded

"I um," Anzu said, "I um, I um."

"What is it?" Yami asked and at this point he was getting slightly annoyed.

"I um, I think I love you." Anzu said then bowed her head so as not to see the look on Yami's face.

Yami blinked, not believing what Anzu had just said to him. " You mean Yuugi right?"

"No, I mean you Yami," she said shakily

Yami just stood there mouth gaping staring at Anzu like she had antlers growing out the top of her head.

"Anzu I, I…" he trailed off, "I'm sorry but I,"

There were tears forming in Anzu's eyes

"I don't love you Anzu." Yami said.

Anzu looked up at Yami tears now flowing freely down her face.

"N-no it should be me who is s-sorry Y-Yami. I sh-shouldn't have s-said anything. I'll j-just g-g-go n-n-now," and with that she ran off.

"Anzu, wait!" Yami yelled after her but she wasn't paying any attention to him. "By Ra, I hope she doesn't do anything stupid"

/ She'll be all right Yami?

//Are you sure?//

/Anzu would rather have you tell her the truth even if it hurts her Yami/ Yami can sense the pain in his hikari's thoughts.

//You loved her didn't you?//

/Yami…/

//Don't try to lie to me Yuugi//

/mostly as a friend. But lately…/

//I know.//

/I'll talk to her tomorrow. She just needs a little time to cool down. Hopefully tomorrow she'll be willing to talk to me./

//I hope so.//

~*~Anzu's pov~*~

/why was I so stupid? Of course Yami doesn't love me. How could I be so baka?/

Anzu was running down the street as fast as she could go. When she reached a white stucco house a perfect green lawn and a flower bed full of cheery yellow and white flowers she ran up the driveway and into the empty house. Not even bothering to take off her shoes Anzu ran up the stairs and into a sickeningly pink bedroom (AN: don't know what Anzu's house/room looks like so I made a guess) She collapsed on the pink bed among many stuffed animals and fuzzy pillows.

"Why is everything in here so pink and cheery?" she yelled and began sobbing into a fuzzy heart-shaped pillow.

The silence seemed to be taunting her so Anzu went over to her CD rack to find something to listen to. There was nothing sad or loud. All the CDs consisted of Britney Spears the Spice Girls and anything dance or bubblegum pop. (AN: sickening huh?) In a fit of rage Anzu knocked over her CD stand which was made of pink wire.

She collapsed to the floor crying even harder.

"God! Nothing nothing ever goes my way! First I fail those English tests then my dance instructor says I'm too fat then my parents file for a divorce and now I find out that Yami doesn't love me! I just want it all to end! I want the pain to be gone! Forever!"

~*~the next day, Yuugi's pov~*~

/I wonder where Anzu is./

Yuugi is sitting in math class listening to the teacher talk about something that Yuugi had learned last year.

There was a knock at the door. The teacher opened the door and the principal Mr. Keno was standing there looking very grim. Mr. Keno talked to the teacher for a moment. Then Mr. Keno said" Yuugi Moto, can you please come with me? You might want to bring your things because this may take a while."

/Oh no! Something must have happened to Grandpa!/

Yuugi gathered up his things and left the room.

" Did something happen to my grandfather?" Yuugi asked immediately after the classroom door was closed.

"No, your grandfather is all right Yuugi"

/phew. That's good but what happened then? I didn't do anything to get in trouble./

Yuugi followed the principal into his office and sat down on one of the large chairs.

"You are a very close friend of Anzu Gardner if I am not mistaken." Mr. Keno said.

"Y-yes I am. Has something happened to Anzu"

"This morning Anzu's mother found Anzu dead in the bathroom of their house. Anzu committed suicide. She took too many sleeping pills."

/Oh God no! Anzu! But she can't be dead, she just can't/

Yuugi just stared at Mr. Keno not believing what he had just been told.

Yuugi burst into tears.

/She's dead, and it's all my fault/

~*~*~*~end of flashback~*~*~*~

Yuugi is still walking through the ever darkening streets. The streets were now fairly empty because of the murders that had been going on. So far 5 people had been found dead. They had all died of loss of blood and they all had puncture wounds on their neck that look like they were made by a barbeque fork. So the medial was calling the murderer the mad barbequer (AN: somehow I don't think that's a word) and the media also claimed that he or she was must have read too many Anne Rice novels and believed that they were really a vampire.

Yuugi on the other hand actually thought that there was a vampire. Heck Yami had been living proof that things of legend existed.

Yuugi knew better than to scoff at superstitions and destiny.

He also knew that love did not conquer all.

Taryn: HA HA, The wicked Anzu's dead!!! ^__^

Everyone minus Anzu: YAY!

Taryn: sorry, in the dub she annoys me… I dun mind her in the manga though. So if you're gonna flame me for killing Anzu, then don't waste your breath. >.> I didn't JUST kill her because I dislike her, I killed her to add to the drama! Yeesh…

Yuugi: does anyone else dislike how she's made me so… depressed?
