Ryou: YOU MADE ME KISS ANZU????!!!

Bakura: HA HA HA!!!

Ryou: You kissed her too…..

Bakura:  ……(faints) X_X

Nano*Mecka:  I think the word “Shame” is foreign to Anzu.  Wait!  This will calm you down *Chibi Ryou hugs Nano Mecka *  There we goo…Aw…

Queen of Demon Dragons: Maybe I should have cued sexy stripper music to Bakura taking off his shirt?  He He He…I loved writing that part.

Beholder of the Shadows:  I know!!  I couldn’t believe that @#$%^ kissed Ryou!  Me!  I’m the author and I was even shocked.  I was on the bus like NOOOOO! when I saw that. 

Cheesepuff: I knew who anubis was, but not in the series.  Thankies for the linky!  I love the mummy movies with Brendan Fraser.  You know, I never liked him too much, but when I saw him in the first mummy, he was hot. Even as a kid I liked the Indiana jones movies.  I have a thing for archeologists with weapons and half open shirts…being sweaty…and…hot…and….* author trails off into nonsense *

Nanashi: I don’t think I recognize your name.  You must be a newbie!  Welcome to Bakurasgirl 24 hour anzu bashing channel—I mean my fics.  Glad you like the fic.  I update regularly, so my fans are left in suspense, but not for too long.  Thanks for the review.

Dark Raven: Now Anzu is more evil—she kissed our precious Ryou!  *reviewers run after Anzu with Queen of demon dragons’ metal bat of doom *

Liz: It just goes to prove some try to earn trust more difficult than others.  Yami knows Bakura’s past and is protective of Ryou at the same time.  Where do you draw the line? I never said how she met master anubis. Is this another fic suggestion?  Because it sounds pretty good.  Hmmmm….

Meaghan: I can’t wait to see the fanart!  I used Charsis in one of my star trek novels.  He’s my new villain.  In any case, hope you like the story.

Anigirl15: I’m glad you liked the last shouenen-ai scene. I just felt like being more suggestive as to..shall we say..extracurricular activites, while also being PG13.  I think it worked.  Yes, I torture them because I love them?  It’s not that we hate Ryou and Bakura. We love them!!! 

Firedraygon97: Who doesn’t like pizza?  As far as the anzu germs go, I’ll have to give Ryou and Bakura a bath (Ryou and Bakura 0_0) (author drools at the thought)

Tenshi Bakeru: Hope you feel better, mojobubbles.  I had a cold, too. I blamed my co-workers, my mom blamed the weather.  It’s more fun when I blame the girl I work with.

\\…\\-Anzu talking to Anubis.

[Anubis talking]

//…//-Ryou to Bakura

***By now you know Anzu is assuming Ryou’s body now.  In doing so, I’m going to refer to her in the feminine form.

Ryou opened her eyes and she smirked.  Bakura had fallen asleep holding onto her.  Bakura looked so peaceful, so relieved that he had his “lover” by his side.  She ran her hand around Bakura’s jaw and removed Bakura’s arm and crawled out of bed when Anubis materialized at the foot of the bed.  They had Bakura right where they wanted him-vulnerable.  Anubis looked down at the sleeping boy.  \\ He is loyal.  He stayed by me all night.  He will make a powerful ally. \\

[The Millenium Item is in the next room. Our little friend told me nothing about its location.]

\\ We’ll find it without the little brat’s help, then. \\  Anzu followed the Millenium Ring pointing to Ryou’s room.  The pointers pointed to the bureau.  Anubis used the Ring to scan up and down.  Anubis grit his teeth in frustration.  He took the clothes from the drawer and threw them around the room.  Anzu pulled out the drawers.  At the bottom of the bureau, they heard something roll. 

Meanwhile in Bakura’s bedroom…..

**** Dream Sequence*****

            Bakura was looking in the forest again for Ryou.  He know he heard Ryou calling to him, but he couldn’t tell from where.  He found Ryou lying on the ground again further up the trail.  He gathered Ryou into his arms when Yami found him.  “You!  You did this, didn’t you?”

“No, Yami! I swear I didn’t!”  Tristan and Joey ran up to them and pulled Bakura away from Ryou screaming and kicking.  “Let me go!”  Yugi held Ryou’s torso in his arms tightly Ryou’s head fell back limp.

Bakura ripped his hands from his captors’ grasp and ran to Ryou again.  “Let me hold him, Yugi.  Don’t make me let him go.”  Bakura kneeled beside Ryou keeping his eyes fixed on Ryou’s body when he felt another presence.  Bakura looked up and saw Anzu holding Ryou.  Bakura stepped back. “Anzu!!!”

“Won’t you be my friend, Bakura?”  Anzu’s eyes glowed an eerie yellow.  Ryou suddenly came to life screaming.  Bakura grabbed Ryou’s arm and tried to pull him away, but Anzu emitted a ray of light sending Bakura back into a tree.

“Yami! Help me!  Anzu has Ryou!!”

“Yami-wammy, I didn’t do anything!!!” Anzu said sounding like her old annoying self.

“She won’t hurt him, Bakura.”

Anzu dropped Ryou who rolled onto his stomach trying to crawl to Bakura.  Bakura ran to him and was sent back once again into the tree.

Ryou staggered to him and curled up beside Bakura.  “Are you hurt, yami?”

Bakura nodded his head.  Anzu grabbed Ryou again.  Bakura tried to pull on Ryou’s leg, but Yami stopped him.

“What are you doing?  Anzu’s going to hurt him!”

Anzu grinned evilly.  Ryou cried and screamed, “Bakura!!”

****************************

// Yami!!!  They’re…Eye….//

Bakura woke up.  “Ryou?”

//Yami!! They’re after the Eye!//  Ryou screamed through the mindlink.

Bakura heard the sound of drawers being shifted in Ryou’s room.  Ryou was missing beside him.

Bakura’s eyes narrowed and he crept out of bed.

Meanwhile in Ryou’s bedroom….

//Yami!!! They’re..Eye…//

Anubis turned to Anzu.  “That brat is trying to warn Bakura!  Hurry up!”

Anzu lifted up the last drawer and found the Millenium Eye.  “Got it!”

//Yami!!! They’re after the Eye!//

“How can he warn Bakura?  I thought you blocked their link?”

[I have been away from the Shadow Realm.  My powers are weakened and my influence over him reduces.]

Bakura growled in the doorway.  “Stop!  Anzu?  What are you doing?”

Bakura took a step and Anubis emitted the same light from his dream and knocked him into the hall.  “You foolish spirit!  You think you can defeat me?”

Bakura stood up and tried to summon his own magic, but he didn’t have the Ring.  [I don’t think you’d want to harm us, Bakura…I do have some leverage you may want to know about.]

//Yami!!  Make him stop!!  Yami!! //

“You monster!”

Anubis cackled.  [I am a monster..and your worst nightmare.]  Anubis threw Bakura into the wall again.  “What are you doing to Ryou?”

Anzu held the Eye in her hands.  \\ Nothing that need concern you. \\ Anzu emitted the last bolt of light and Bakura crumbled to the floor like a ragdoll.  Anubis hovered over Bakura.  \\ Next stop: Yugi’s home. \\
