“Yuugi?”

Oh, that was her tempo. “Anzu.” She was back. Just about the same time. Yuugi went toward her. “Are you okay?” She didn’t look okay. “Okay, not okay. Satiah didn’t do anything wrong while you were gone. She just took care of you. She rested and ate.”

“She teleported to Bakuras from a dangerous ship,” Anzu added to that. “I know. We talked.”

“It’s all over.” Maybe she wasn’t used to losing so much control and having to trust as much? It wasn’t always easy at first. “I wasn’t there either.” He confessed. “Atem is back with me.”

Anzu covered her ears. “Okay. Just. Fine, I know, you should have said something!”

Oh. She was fine with Yuugi now, but Atem was always a different matter. “He didn’t want to scare her. We both came back not too long ago. Do you want to sit down in the kitchen or in the Game Shop to talk out some things you should know?”

“Uh.” Anzu wasn’t looking too pleased. Like she was talking to Satiah again. “That’s not fair.” She looked toward Yuugi. “That’s not fair.”

I think she already knows somehow about the constant switching that might happen. “Let’s just go sit in the kitchen.”
Yuugi sat with her and spoke to her, with Atem’s aid of the events by her side. Anzu kept it together, her hands splayed on the table though oddly. “So, now Jounouchi has got a lot going on. It’s going to be tough on him. All because I relied on him so much when I was younger.”

“The dice.” Anzu didn’t seem so concerned about the scourge of the Bandit King being back, Jounouchi having his own spirit, or Shizuka’s dragon. She wanted to know about the dice. “The dice. Monster World dice? Satiah is more concerned about that.”

“Yes,” Yuugi said. “Two criticals of 00, a 6, a 12, and a fumble of 99.” He watched her stand up and leave. “Anzu?”

“I need a breath, I need a second.” Anzu wanted to be left alone for a little while. “I’m going to my-”

“Anzu?" Gone. Again.

Bakura’s Home.

Anzu felt herself in the middle of something hard. She moved around. “What in the . . .?” She watched the door to the room open. Ryou Bakura was there with a drink. “Bakura?”

“Anzu?” Ryou Bakura was trying to smile, but didn’t seem too happy about her being there on the game board. “What are you doing here again?”

Anzu. I apologize. Let me take over.

You just had my body for six hours.

And I doubt you want to handle this part. You can watch what I am doing. You can interact. I need to tell Ryou Bakura who I am. It’s time. If we don’t, the King of Darkness will see this as dishonest. Either I tell him, or you tell him.

I’ll try conveying what you want. Anzu let Ryou Bakura help her up. “Sorry.”

“You’re falling onto my Monster World again?” Ryou Bakura helped her off.

Tell him that your spirit knows why.

“My spirit knows why,” Anzu said. “Sorry. She has something she says she needs to say. To tell you.”

Tell him to make sure Bakura, The Thief Bandit King, is there.

You can’t tell them about it! Anzu made sure she knew that. “She said she wants to make sure the Thief Bandit King is here.”
