There are few things I hate the more than not being able to do anything, to have to cross my arms and wait *shakes head* I hate all the waiting.

...would it be easier if we just detached ourselves from out problems and not felt? Somehow I don't think so Though I was never one to chose the easiest pathI know this isn't really important right now

I think detaching ourselves from our problems and not feeling anything would even make it worse, Anzu. Emotions is what makes us human, without them we would be nothing but soulless, distant, robotic people. We should never deny our emotions, though they make things complicated. As long as there are people surrounding us with love and compassion we can overcome any problem crossing our paths.

I am not sure if my husband asked for tickets, but we sure will attend your competition.

We all need something or someone to believe in besides ourselves- I have been raised to believe in the gods, to ask and pray for their protection and blessings. If Destiny wants me to follow it, I will, as I believe it has chosen the best path for me. Making the right choices is difficult, but in the end it is all worth it.

*nods* We stumble and fall, we crawl and fear, only to stand up and move on again. We learn from the bad things on our path, as we also learn from every good thing that happens in our lives. *smiles at her* You deserve to laugh, Anzu. You have always been there for us and never failed to support and cheer us on. It is a true gift to have a friend like you.

*still has his hand on her cheek, smile widens* A ride to work it is, then. I will be more than honored to drive you safely around town.

[dancing_hope]

*smiles slightly* Yes...if we think that way then we can believe that we have done the best we could in every situation we have been through. I kinda like your faith Atemu-kun. It's pure and true. There's not a lot of people believing so much in Kami gods these days. I know you took the right choices, the truer path for you.

But getting up is hard work. I know this. We are humans and humans always make mistakes. Always...but we can always learn from them. *smiles back* Maybe so, but sometimes I can't bring myself to. Mind things too much *jokingly* and I'm not the only one my dear friend *pokes you* You are also a gift and deserve to laugh just as much.

*smiles again, squezzing his hand one more time before stepping backwards* Then that wasn't as evil as I thought. Anyway wait for me a bit while I get my coat ok? *rushes of to room*

[_atemu_]

We have done the best we could, we always do the best we can, Anzu... even if it sometimes doesn't look enough, it is still the best we can, and that is what counts. *lowers his eyes a little, smiling* I know that some of my beliefs are not from this world anymore... the civilization I was brought up in does not exist anymore, and it is strange to realize that the gods I believed in are no longer... well, recognized as a religion.

We have to make mistakes in order to learn and grow, there is no such thing as a perfect world, even though we all long for it. As long as we are human, we will make mistakes, but we have each other to lean on and to learn from. And you do not need to worry so much, young lady, it will get you wrinkles. *tries to dodge the poke, smirking* That is sweet of you, Anzu.

*drops his hand, slowly* If driving you to work is evil, be me guest to be evil anytime you want. All right, I will wait here.

[dancing_hope]

*comes back wearing a dark denim coat over the uniform* Hate this thing *smiles sheepishly*

What counts is that we tried. That we fought and not let anyone walk on our backs *nods* We live with honour and there's no god that can fault us for that *taps his chin with a smile pulling his face upwards* Atemu-kun, it doesn't matter. If it's from yesterday or from a millennia ago it doesn't matter. What matters is the faith you have in it, the strength it gives you and the beauty it holds. They exist as long as you believe in them.

I don't want to be perfect you know. I'm a person not a doll...but we can change this world a bit. Maybe someday we'll live without hurting eachother. I have faith in that. It will not give me wrinkles *scoffs* Next thing I know you'll call me old *smiles amusedly when manages to poke* I win. *smiles more subdued* It's what I feel Atemu-kun

I might take you on that offer. *grabs keys and walks to the front door opening it* Shall we? *waits with a small smile tugging her lips upwards*

[_atemu_]

*smiles at her when she touches him* You are right, Anzu... it would be different if we had not tried, had not fought.. but we do try, we do fight, and that is what counts. We can always look back and say that we did what we could, instead of watching passively for things to happen. I have faith in the gods, and will continue to believe in them until my dying day... I cannot imagine living without their presence in my life.

I know, Anzu, and I think it is wonderful.. most strive to perfection, but lose their objectivity or touch with others- being perfect is hard work, and it is next to impossible to achieve-- and even if you are perfect, I would not know what one would accomplish, because they would be perfect. But a world without hurting each other... that would be wonderful. *is poked, laughs a little* I would never call you old, Anzu, you are millennia younger than me. *nods* I know...

*follows her to the front door, taking out his car keys* Yes, let's go.

[dancing_hope]

*smiles back softly* That's the spirit. Would you look at that. I can be wise too. *nods* I have no regrets when I look back. There are few persons that can say the exact same thing. If we don't fight we get dragged away. We fail before we even try. It seems kind of pointless I think. And their presence will never leave you Atemu-kun. You are blessed by them just like I feel myself blessed by Kami-sama's presence. I doubt their would ever leave a son alone.

*winces slightly* Those words can remind me of someone *mock-coughs*Kaiba What would it matter if we are better or worse than someone? It seems overrated and would take the life out of a person. Like a cold white statue no one can touch. And it would. It's a beautiful dream *smiles hearing his laughter* Well you better. Women don't take kindly to that word you know?

*allows him to pass before locking the door after her* Is the car too far?

[_atemu_]

*nods solemnly, a smile tugging at his lips* Of course you are, Anzu... you have been through so much together with us, and you have always believed and fought for us. Standing on a side and simply watching would be desastruous, people need to take action if they want to achieve a thing. Without fighting, we have already lost before we have even begun. *blushes just a little* Thank you... I will continue to believe in them, not only because I was raised to do so, but also because I simply and truly believe in them.

*smirks slightly* Perfection takes out the personality of one's soul. We learn and live by making mistakes, without them we could arrive at a dead end. For better or for worse, we are what we are and that is nothing less or nothing more than one another. *puts his hands up as in self-defense* You are right-- I will never use it again when women are around.

*looks over his shoulder at her* No, it is just around the corner.

[dancing_hope]

*smiles slightly* It's diferent to listen to it from another Atemu-kun, to know that your words can help. See what you have done? You made me realize that I was being too pessimistic over all of this tension. Yeah, I always hated to see from the outside *shivers slightly* It's scary to see someone we care for in danger. That's why I try so hard...

Oh Kami-sama *smiles wickedly* Atemu-kun...is that a blush? Who would have believe that hmm? I do know that. Believing in something just because we are forced to is, in a certain way, almost slavery.

*taps chin* Indeed. Each time we make mistakes we grow up. And in our way to accept them we show just how personality. And I certainly do not think myself better that anyone *smiles, amused* You have just learned another valuable lesson see? This means you will not be hit with mallets so soon.

*nods, walking a bit faster to catch up with his larger steps* Thank you for taking me Atemu-kun. I think I was going to be late otherwise.

[_atemu_]

I am glad if I was able to help you, Anzu, or at least give you some hope, that my words have helped you. It is sometimes difficult to see its effect, yes, but knowing that others can draw strength from me or my words make me realize that it is very worthwile to keep trying, to keep fighting, if only to give others hope and courage. It is never too dark, never too black, never to close to see a way out, to see hope shine. No one wants to be in danger, and I do not want anyone I care for in danger

[dancing_hope]

Of course you did. You always do *smiles gently* You're always willing to listen to everyone and try to help too. You can see always a way out and sometimes that's hard to see. I'm glad you fought too, with us and by our side. I like believing in hope. I wish I could give some of my own too. No, we don't *shakes head* We'll help right?

I told you I could be *smirks very faintly* And come on, I was just joking, don't be mad? *smiles* I don't want to be forced to believe in anything *shivers when remembering what Marik did to her* Being forced like that is just...horrible. I don't want to live it again.

Yep, *jumps a bit* all diferent all the same Atemu-kun. Can you imagine clones walking around *smiles again* You know I wouldn't smack you silly.

*enters with a grin* Thank you my lord *mock bows head* Always a gentleman Atemu-kun.

[_atemu_]

Thank you, Anzu, that means a lot to me... I know I am not always the right person to be around, that I make mistakes as well, but I will never give up a fight, never give up hope, because everything is worth fighting for. You are always giving us hope... when you support us, when you are simply there. Do not worry, Anzu, as long as we all have each other to draw strength from and give support no one is in real danger. We look out for each other, and we will help.

*laughs a little* I could never be mad at you, you know that..! *nods* Forcing will always work against its original purpose, because forcing is simply wrong.. we were given freedom of choice, and no one should be forced by any means or way.

Clones can be never as good as the original *smiles*, I prefer the original kind. And thank you- I try to avoid being smacked by women.

*closes the door behind her, walking around the car to get into the driver's seat* Of course, my lady. Ready to go?

[dancing_hope]

I wouldn't say it if I didn't believe it to be true *smiles* You do not need to thank me. There are moments when we feel like we can't do anything. But It's good to know that we will try nevertheless. I try...as long as I can I'll try to be a strength to all *nods with certainty* It's the least I can do. Not that I am able to stop worrying.

*Smiles in answer* Glad to know that bit. Will be able to get me off the hook when I do something...odd? *smirks faintly* I know that. Each time I think about it more I realize that we should choose by ourselves and take the consequences of our actions.

*whispers* I agree with that. I don't want to get out of the house and meet another me. Scary. *grins* That's a very good decision.

*puts the seatbelt on, wrapping the coat tighter around herself* 100 percent. And this beats the bus any day *laughs a bit*

[_atemu_]

*smiles at her* People are very strong, Anzu... it sometimes astounds me how people can get up back on their feet, after falling down when they tried and it did not work out for them. It is a stubborn trait in all of us, though there are some who give up easier than others, of course. Some are good in giving strength... some are good in taking strength. Your support has always helped us through the worst of times... and you really should stop worrying... we are here to look after each other, right?

*laughs softly* There is always a choice, but every choice has its consequences. The way we deal with them, or choose to deal with them, also says a lot about ourselves. Also if we choose to take responsibility or not.. there are always consequences to deal with, it is inevitable when making a choice.

*starts the engine of the car* All right, here we go... *puts the gear in reverse, driving out of the parking lot*

[dancing_hope]

*smiles fiddling with a piece of her coat* Yes, I know. Humanity has very bad things but can do so much beauty as well. *nods* People are as diferent as the leafs of a tree. I read that somewhere. Makes sense we all react diferently to situations. I know I should, I have been saying that to myself who knows how many times. I guess I'm just too stubborn. And yeah, we are.

*nods* Like if we choose a road we can find what we desire the most or what we fear the most. What we do with that is what's important. Standing while a truck is coming for example? Stupid *joking* Even so I prefer to choose by myself. That way I can say mistakes are mine.

You do know the place right Atemu-kun? *watches as the trees begin to pass, opening the window to let the air enter the compartment*

[_atemu_]

*agrees with her* It is sometimes astounding to realize that we are capable of war, destruction, murder, and hurting each other, but also of creating, giving birth to new life, recovering, consoling each other. Leafs of a tree... yes, that is a very good comparison. We do react different to situations, each has his or her own way of dealing with things. It is a good thing to be stubborn, in some way-- that means you will not give up that easily.

Choosing is difficult-- I think most of the people are inclined to take the easy road. It takes a lot of courage and strength to choose for the narrow path, but indeed, each decision is your own, and what you do with it, is important. I do hope you jump out of the way when a truck is coming, Anzu... mistakes can be made, it is about the responsibility of the consequences of that mistake. Are you willing to accept those or not? That is a choice.

*hesitates* Ehm... I think you have to give a little direction, Anzu.. it was here to the left, I think?
