Marik left the airport feeling happy, his friend and his friend's hikari had finally got together. It made him think of his yami, he was nothing like Bakura. He was pure evil, he killed Marik's father. Then a couple of years ago he sent a lot of people to the shadow realm, he didn't care about most of them, but it was still pretty mean. After all this, he and the other yami's got a second chance on life, and he got his own body. But he doesn't even realise he's done anything bad. Melvin was waiting in his car outside the airport. Marik saw him and got in the car.

"What's wrong with your car?" Melvin asked him, hate in his voice.

"I let Bakura use it."

"And you couldn't just drop him off at his house?"

"Well, I wanted to talk to you!"

"Not like there's anything to talk about."

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing's wrong Marik! I'M FINE!" Melvin yelled.

"Well I was only asking!" Marik shouted louder.

"Well you shouldn't!" People outside were looking at them.

"What are you looking at?" Melvin yelled at them.

"Can we just go now, please?"

"Fine!" Melvin left the airport car park, not before giving the onlookers the finger. They were silent most of the journey.

"So, how have you been?" Marik asked, filling the awkward silence.

"Fine!" Melvin snapped back.

"What's your problem?"

"Nothing I'm fine, just please get out." Marik looked out of the window to see he was in front of his house. He got out and turned back to Melvin

"Bye then." Marik said. Melvin ignored him and sped away down the road. What was his problem?


"And that's what happened. I don't know what's wrong with him." Marik said after he had told his story over the phone.

"Well what are you going to do?" Bakura replied.

"I don't know."

"I think you should comfort him, he might be hurting." Ryo piped up.

"Yeah, you should do what Ryo said." Yugi agreed.

"Am I on speaker?"

"Yeah."

"Who else is there?"

"Well there's me, Ryo, Yugi, Yami, Anzu, Seto, Jou, Serenity and Honda." Bakura said.

"What the hell! I poured my feelings out in front of all my friends."

"For your information, I'm not really your friend." Seto pointed out.

"Whatever. So my pain has just been amusement for you guys?"

"No, of course not. We just wanted to help you."

"Well to be honest Yugi, Ryo, Serenity and Anzu wanted to help, the rest of us are just here for free food." Jou pointed out.

"Forget it! You guys are no help!" He hung up and sighed. If he wanted to know what was wrong with Melvin, he'd had to ask him in person.

Seeing it was still relatively bright outside, he didn't bother getting his coat. Though after walking for a couple of minutes, he wished he had. 'Rain, Why rain?' he thought to himself as small droplets hit his bare arms. Further into his journey, Mother Nature was obviously not on his side, as then rail turned to hail. The little stones of ice fell and stung Marik's exposed flesh. This was a lot considering he was wearing his midriff baring, sleeveless hoodie. 'Next time, even if it's 100 degrees centigrade, I'm bringing a stupid coat!'


He finally reached Melvin's house. Melvin opened the door, saw Marik and slammed it shut again.

"Oh, real mature!" Marik yelled.

"Go away!" Melvin replied.

"I need to talk!"

"I don't care. GO AWAY!"

"Why?"

"Because I told you too."

"Great excuse."

"I know!"

"That was sarcasm!"

"So?"

"So, you can't take it as a compliment!"

"I can do what I want it's a free country."

"Melvin just let me in!"

"I'm not letting you in, so there's no point in you being here."

"Melvin!"

"Bye Marik." Melvin walked away from the door.

"Melvin? Melvin!" He kicked the door. "I know you can here me!" Melvin turned the TV up. Frustrated, Marik walked around to the alley, and climbed over the wall. Luckily the door was unlocked and he walked right in.

"Melvin, I said I needed to talk."

"Why won't you just leave me alone?"

"Because I love you!" Melvin just stared at his hikari. He then pointed to the door.

"Go!"

"But-" He started to say before Melvin walked over and grabbed his arm.

"I said get out!" He opened the door and flung Marik out of it; Marik falling to the floor like a sack of potatoes and landing on his wrist.

"Ah!" Marik screamed looking at his arm. The way he landed meant that there was a long bone sticking out of his arm. Melvin saw this and hut the door. Struggling to his feet, Marik ran to one of the houses near Melvin's. A woman answered the door. Seeing the Egyptian, she turned him around and raced him to the hospital.


After surgery he was fine, but his arm was broken badly. Ryo and Bakura had been waiting for him to wake up.

"Hey." Marik weakly uttered to them.

"They told us what happened to you. That bastard! How could he just throw you out and shut the door when you were injured?" Bakura said, rage dripping off every word.

"I know."

"Why did he throw you out?" Ryo asked, him being considerably calmer than his boyfriend.

"Because, he's a bastard." Bakura interrupted

"I don't know why he did. I said I loved him and he dragged me by my arm and threw me from his house." Marik said ignoring Bakura's comment.


AN: Hi guys, I'm soooooooooooooo sorry this got overlooked. I just couldn't think what to write, I hope you like it. I know it's not as good as the first one. But my work keeps going downhill. Life with a Yami was my best story and to finish it was stupid. I'm sorry. I really hope this was worth the wait.
