Disclaimer: Do I own YGO? Ummmm...DUH! NO!!

Chibi: AGH! About time I got this up! OK, here's the deal'eo.this is the sequel to 'Patience' and in the first story Yugi and Yami shared the same body. In this..they don't! Why? Cause it's easier for me!! That's why! It shouldn't really bother anyone, if it does.gomen! It took me long enough just to come up with this! It would be even longer of a wait if I tried to make Yami and Yugi share a body! I do suggest that ya read 'Patience' first, but I don't know if it's necessary or not. Up to you! And as always, please review! Reviews float my boat!

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

The room was plain, boring in its ordinarity (is that even a word???). A rhythmic beeping sounded throughout and added to the sheer dullness that bled from this white-walled room. Fortunately, for the only occupant of this room, consciousness had yet to come, denying her the chance to give her own thought to her surroundings. Not that she would anyways. There would be much more important issues that would bombard her thoughts when she wakes.

And as sure as the sun rises as the moon falls, the sleeping patient had finally awaken to her drool hospital surroundings.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Anzu moaned as she tried to sit up and open her eyes. Two actions which she soon regretted as the headache she didn't even know she had pounded with even more force causing her to fall back in her bed.

'Where am I?' she thought as she barely opened her eyes. 'A hospital room?! What am I doing here?' her thoughts continued as she closed her eyes again and tried to remember anything that would answer her questions.

Realization finally dawned upon her as she remembered what had taken place in a dark alley.

... Anzu spun around and saw a shaggy looking man standing not even five feet behind her. A small gasp escaped her mouth as she took a step away from the man.

"Oh no,no,no,no. Don't walk away from me. I got somethin' I wanna show ya."...

Anzu shuddered as she remembered the fear she felt and then what happened next.

...She tried to mad dash around the man, but he grabbed her.

"LET ME GO RIGHT NOW!" Anzu screamed as she thrashed about trying to escape.

"Stop that you bitch!" The shaggy man smacked her across her face and cut her lip. Blood trickled down as she winced from the pain.

'What's gonna happen to me? What are they gonna do? I need to get away. I need help'

"NO! HELP!" Anzu began to scream, but was then thrown against the wall. Just before she completely blacked out, she let out a silent pray. 'Please help me.......Yami.' Then everything went dark....

"Yami," Anzu repeated aloud as she thought back to her silent plea for help. She let out a deep sigh as she lay on her crisp hospital bed.

"Did he come?!" Anzu pondered this as it seemed too much like a dream to be true. She had always had feelings for Yami, but recently those emotions have begun to grow. And now, to know that Yami had saved her and that he..."Oh...my..god.."

Anzu slowly brought her hand up to lips and thought back to how that stormy night ended.

...."Let her go!" Came a strong voice...

"That's right, he rescued me from my attackers, Stan and Jay. And then.."

....They both stared at each other for awhile and then Yami did what he thought he could never do. He had been so patient before and never let into his want, but now was finally the time. Slowly, very slowly as if to ask for permission, he leaned down towards Anzu's face. They both closed their eyes and met in a sweet kiss....

Anzu gasped as she finished her thought. "Did he really kiss me?"

The confused girl lay in her bed, eyes shut and lost in thought. So much so that she didn't even realize that the door to her room had opened.

"Anzu?"

'I know that voice.' She thought as she slowly opened her eyes, "Yugi? Is that you?"

"Hey guys! She's awake!!"

Instantly the lights to her room were turned on blinding her and a multitude of voices echoed throughout. After her eyes adjusted she looked around her to see all her friends gathered around her bed.

"Hi guys" Anzu said as she tried to sit up again only to produce the same moan as early as her head began to pound.

"You shouldn't be trying to sit up Anzu. The doctor says you need your rest," Yugi informed her as he helped her lay back down.

"I'm feeling better guys. Really!" Anzu said after she managed to prop herself up on her pillow to get a better look at everyone.

Almost everybody was there. Yugi, Jou, Honda, Mai, and Ryou, but where was Yami?

"Well, as true as that may be," Ryou started, "you still shouldn't overwork yourself. Your doctor has informed us that you get to leave tonight. The injuries you sustained weren't that serious fortunately"

"Yeah, were all headin' out anyways. We just wanted to see ya before we left and say hey." Joey finished.

"Oh, ok!" Anzu said, "Well, I guess I'll see all of you later then."

"Sure will!" Mai said as she headed towards the door. "We can go to the mall as soon as you feel up to it. Later!"

Mai's exit began a chain reaction which soon left the room virtually empty. As Mai left, Jou soon found himself following her trail, Honda took off running after Jou, Ryou followed Honda muttering something in the lines of 'they need a baby-sitter' and now Yugi was just about to leave when Anzu called out to him.

"Yugi?"

"Yeah Anzu? What is it?"

Anzu stumbled for the right words and felt a blush creep across her face. "Ummm, where's Yami at?"

"Oh, well he was the one that brought you here last night. He said that you passed out and he was worried that you might have been seriously injured. It was a good thing to. The doctor said that you might have been in some serious harm had you not be brought in. And when the rest of us came here this morning he said he had some errands to run. I'm sorry he's not here."

"Oh, don't be. After all, why should you be? It's not like it's a big deal or anything."

Yugi looked at Anzu with a certain all-knowing look to his features, but as fast as it appeared he went back to his normal innocent face. "Yeah, I guess you're right." Yugi had just made it to the doorway when he turned around, "Oh Anzu, do you want me to pick you up later tonight to take you home?"

"No, that's ok. I know you have to work at the game shop tonight. I'll just catch a cab."

"Are you sure? I mean, it's not bothering me to help out a friend."

Anzu smiled, "Yeah, I'm sure. You go on. I'm just gonna rest now before I leave. I'll talk to ya later then."

"Ok, bye Anzu"

After Yugi left Anzu fell fast asleep and before she knew it night had arrived and she got herself ready to leave. She quickly changed into the spare outfit that Mai had brought over for her. A pair flare jeans and a blue, midriff top and made her way out of the hospital.

Once outside she found herself trying her best to get a cab, but to no avail.

"Stupid people!!!" Anzu shouted at the top of her lungs as yet another cab drove past without stopping. She glared as one last cab drove by and yelled out to the driver, "Forget you! I'm walking!!!!"

She took off walking and soon found herself at the entrance to the city park. She always loved to walk there. For some reason it always calmed her down. It was beginning to get dark now, but against her better judgments she decided to take a slight detour.

Anzu took a deep breath in, "Wow!" She said as she did a little spin, proving that she was starting to feel better, and then continued on her path, "The night air smells great! I'm glad I decided to walk in here. What a great stress reliever."

Unfortunately, Anzu's thought made her oblivious to the footsteps that slowly approached. The figure stopped and watched as Anzu did her little dancer's spin. A small smile crept across face of this observer as he watched and waited.
