A smile played on his lips as he stood over his desk. He couldn't wait to take revenge on Yami. As soon as he got the Millennium Puzzle he would have the Pharaoh's power. He had been waiting for this his whole life…taking back what was rightfully his. He would triumph over the world, and nothing would stop him.
Marik sighed as the door opened. Looking up, he noticed a young woman walk in. She had long, layered, straight brown hair that flowed to her shoulders. Her big ice blue eyes wondered until she noticed him.
"I must say, your entering skills could use some practice. Where have you been?" Marik asked sternly. The woman rolled her eyes and sat down on his desk. Marik almost cringed; he had just had that desk delivered two weeks ago, he didn't need scratches and prints put all over it. He observed the woman look around, making sure she didn't sit on any important papers. She had done it once before and Marik had gotten somewhat upset. Then again, he knew she liked it when he was angry; it made her feel prickly and excited inside.
"Out." The word came out her mouth with a sigh. She swung her legs around with boredom. She found that she got bored easily, not because there was nothing to do, but mostly because everything was dull. Marik slammed his hand on the desk with frustration.
"Paige! I thought I told you not to take the life raft out! Do you not understand that I need you to focus on Yami! He holds the Millennium Puzzle! That puzzle holds the Pharaoh's power! I need you to steal it from him and bring it to me. Yami is smarter than he looks, so it wont be easy!" He griped at her. He knew she wasn't dumb, but he wanted that puzzle more then anything, and he'd do whatever it took to get it.
"Sure he is," she said jokingly. She looked at him and grinned. He glared at her and sighed with frustration, annoyed at her teenage attitude. She had just turned seventeen and was having the time of her life, he was almost twenty-three and he still hadn't achieved his goal in life. He might as well be dead.
Paige threw her head back, taking a deep breath. It wasn't easy working for Marik. He was always so uptight. He needed to loosen up, but whenever she got him to, he got distracted, making him go all hard and moody once again. Paige turned her head back toward him, her hair swinging in her face. She slid off the desk, gliding around to Marik. His glare softened up. He couldn't help but stare at her unique face, and those eyes...those eyes that he could loose himself in forever. They narrowed on him calmly, making them seem more like crystal then ice.
She fiddled with his coat and looked at him, "I wont screw up." She said artlessly and kissed him on the cheek. He smirked, running his fingers over her gold belt. It was the eighth millennium item. The chains jingled. How he longed to own it, but he couldn't take it from her...at least not yet. "Hands off." She whispered and smacked his hands away gently. She knew if it had been anyone else they would have been punished severely. Letting out a small laugh, she twisted his hair around her index finger. She knew he had an attraction to her, and she couldn't deny one to him, but she also knew he wanted the belt. It held the power of telekinesis and pinpointing anyone or anything on the planet. This held a great advantage for stealing things. She got it from her grandfather, but that was before she found Marik.
Marik looked at the curves of her body and grinned. They were shaped like a miniature hourglass. He turned her around and pushed her up against the desk, there he ran his fingers through her silky hair, pushing it behind her faultless ears. She looked up and beamed. He glanced away, looking at the closed door. It was so silent. They were alone, and that was the way he liked it.
Marik then turned back and studied her velvet lips, before quickly leaning down and attaching them to his own. She returned the kiss and sliding her arms slowly but devilishly around his neck, rubbing his upper back with her fingertips. He pulled away panting with hunger in his eyes. She leaned in to kiss him again, but before she could there was a knock at the door.
Paige pulled her arms away quickly, wiping her mouth. Marik was surprised and rather irritated. He rolled his eyes, gritting his teeth. Putting his hands on the desk, looked down angrily into Paige's lap.
"I'm busy!" His voice boomed. Paige smiled and ran a hand up his arm. She loved the way he put little nonsense away to be with her, or at least her body. She just wondered what he really thought of her. It pondered in her mind for a moment...she might just be a toy, a toy he liked to play with. Marik looked at her ready to continue their little business, when a raspy voice came from behind the door.
"Sir? I thought you'd like to know we are coming in close to Domino City. We are about five miles away." At this news Marik looked at the door and forced a smile. He finally walked over and opened it. A short, chubby man with red hair and a green robe on was waiting. Marik looked at him, then off into the distance of the ocean. He took a deep breathe of fresh air.
"Speed the boat up. There is no time to waist. The sooner I find Yami, the sooner I get that puzzle." And with that command, the short man was off. Marik turned back to Paige. She was standing up looking out the window with her arms crossed. He walked toward her slowly. She seemed a statue…a forbidden statue, untouched, unharmed. Marik laid his hands on her shoulders, causing one of the straps to her tank top to fall on her arm; she was so smooth, almost to smooth. Paige shivered. He thought she smelled of peaches and flowers, he liked it. Laying his head softly on her bare shoulder, he breathed soft on her neck. His breath was warm and safe. Paige couldn't lie; she was deeply attracted to him. Even if it was just lust, she couldn't seem get over her infatuation.
"Come," he told her, "We must get ready." He turned and started to walk out. Paige glanced over and saw him leaving. Slowly, she followed. She wasn't in the biggest hurry; she didn't want to see Yami that much! She knew how smart and strong he was, and truth be told, she was a little frightened. She had been studying about Yami for the last couple months; he did seem intelligent and fearless, almost godlike. Every now and then she found herself having dreams about him, and truth be told, she wasn't exactly trying to destroy him.
They walked down a narrow hall. It almost touched Marik's shoulders. When they came out of the hall into the daylight they were on the left side of the boat. The side of the boat was just as narrow, but they were hidden by nets and lining as they walked.
"You know," Marik said with out turning around, "Yami is tough. You'll probably need to earn his trust first. How will you do that?" Paige looked at the back of his head. She liked the way his hair blew in the breeze.
"Don't worry about it." She said with a sigh, looking down. He immediately turned around, what did she mean don't worry? She could feel his icy gaze upon her. She raised her eyes and met his. He looked deadly serious.
"Just remember to keep your mind on the puzzle, nothing more." He said looking her over. He wasn't sure she was up to this mission. She smiled weakly and turned to the waves.
"This will be to easy." She stated. She turned and winked slyly. He put an arm around her and pulled her against him, swiftly. She gasped, surprised. He grinned. He liked shocking her; it was like his fuel to frighten her and everyone around him.
She could feel his strong muscles under his coat. Paige chuckled and closed her eyes. The wind blew in her face, making her hair fly back and dance. Marik slid his hands up her back. He leaned down greedily and started kissing her neck.
Paige pulled away before they started something they couldn't finish. She walked toward the front of the boat out in the open again. She could see the boat pull to the dock. Looking down at the water, she smiled. She always loved the water.
"You should go and do your task." Marik said startling Paige. He motioned toward the dock with a nod of his head. "You will report back to me later." She nodded confidently and walked to the other side of the boat. Marik followed behind her. She jumped onto the dock, turned and took one last look at Marik, then left. Marik looked at her and then toward the city.
"Go, and remember…get that puzzle." Marik said with great determination. Paige rolled her eyes and put on her sunglasses. She slid her left hand in her back pocket and walked off, making sure to put in a little shake in her hips for Marik. Marik couldn't say he didn't enjoy this.
'Yami wont know what hit him.' Marik thought and laughed, for only he knew how powerful Paige was, even if she didn't know yet.
