Hey here's yet another story of mine. I just sat down and wrote and here's what I got so far. I hope you like it!
Melvin practically ran to the place where the passengers got off the plane. Today was probably the best day of summer, he knew it. He couldn't wait to see his little brother again. After an entire summer stuck here alone, he was glad he finally had someone to entertain him. Oh and he also…missed him. Although he hated to admit it, he really did miss his brother.
After an entire year without Marik, Melvin couldn't wait for his brother to finally be here with him, permanently. When Ishizu told him over the phone a month ago, he could hardly contain his excitement. It took Odion a lot of work to get the house back to how it looked before because of Melvin's jumping off the walls. Odion was too excited but he wished he could see his sister too.
Odion followed behind Melvin, not as fast, and got there just in time before all the people started coming out of the tunnel that lead to the plane. They both waited and waited and finally just as they were thinking they were at the wrong tunnel, the caught a glimpse of blond hair much like Melvin's, Melvin immediately knew who it belonged to.
"Marik!" He said running up to him and hugging him making Marik drop his bag in surprise.
"Hello, Melvin, I knew you missed me but I didn't know you wanted to get rid of me so soon after greeting me" Marik said. Melvin didn't pull away from his bone-crushing hug, but Marik heard a sound of questioning coming from his brother. "You're choking me" Melvin immediately let go.
"Sorry…" he didn't have time to say anything else before Odion stepped in.
"Marik! How have you been brother?" he said pulling his brother into a hug. Marik had grown a lot since Odion had last hugged him and that was when Marik was boarding the plane a year ago. Either that or he had shrunk.
"Very well, how have you been brothers?" brothers? Melvin questioned his brothers very formal speech. Great Ishizu corrupted him, she always has been one for formal language.
"Good as well, Melvin, surprisingly passed the 10th grade without you, it was somewhat of a miracle, well come to think of it, it would be a miracle if he passed it with you there, so either way a miracle happened" Marik chuckled at his brothers words.
"I'm right here you know" Melvin said defensively.
"I know brother, I'm just having a little fun that's all"
"Yeah well your fun is hurtful" Melvin said crossing his arms.
"Wow, what have you done to him Odion," Marik said looking in surprise at his surprisingly sensitive brother. "It's like he's not the boy I've left last year, he's becoming a man. Oh, I'm so proud" Marik said wiping a fake tear away.
'Oh I will take no credit, he went to a seminar last month, and came back a whole new man" Odion joked.
"Jacka-" Melvin began.
"Watch your language, young man." Odion said in a stern tone, Marik burst out laughing. Odion shot him a glare than hugged him again. So, we should get out of here, Marik I'm sure you are tired and just want to go home."
"Yeah, I guess I am kind of tired" Marik said grabbing the bag that had fallen to the floor. The three made their way to the luggage drop-off, Marik looked for his suitcase, that was purple, and they left the airport.
The ride home was pretty short, 15 minutes at the most, and then went inside.
"Marik, I hired a constructer to build you a new room and make the house a little more roomy for all of us, until then I'm afraid you're going to have to go back to sharing a room with Melvin." Odion said.
"Oh that's good, at least I'll have some place to sleep." Marik said walking into Melvin's room.
"Are you hungry at all brother?" Odion said from the doorway.
"No I'm just tired, I'll unpack and then go to sleep." Marik replied. In truth he was starving but right now he didn't care cause he had gained a few pounds in Egypt that he wanted to loose before school started in two weeks.
"Okay, Night brother" Odion left him to his unpacking. Melvin was sitting on his bed staring at his brother the whole time. Marik fell back on the bed, head hanging over the side, and closed his eyes. Melvin continued to watch him, his chest rising and falling slower than it did the last time he had seen him, meaning his brother was more relaxed now than he was before he left. How did Ishizu manage that, before he was never calm? Never. Not even when he was asleep, he would always have nightmares that bugged him and just made him more anxious, how did she manage to calm him down?
"What?" Marik said snapping Melvin out of his thoughts, he hadn't realized Marik had opened his eyes and noticed Melvin starring at him.
"Nothing, I was just wondering…" Marik got up and started unpacking his rather small purple suitcase. Melvin didn't expect his brother to come home with so little stuff, especially considering their sister liked to spoil them whenever she could.
"What? What were you wondering, stop spacing out Melvin, Man I don't think I've ever seen you think." Marik said, pulling out his clothes, which were practically the only thing in the bag. The only thing that was important to Marik right now was getting every thing hidden. After he pulled out all the clothes he had, he pulled out a few knifes that had apparently been stashed in a secret pocket of Mariks.
"What's with all the knifes, what are you running a knife shop from your bag" Melvin asked the question that popped into his mind, rather than the one that was lingering in the back of his head.
"Oh these," Marik held up the knifes, "they're the only thing that kept me the way I was, I hate being a goody-two-shoes" he said tossing them in his drawers first then setting his clothes on top of them to cover them up.
"Why would you turn into a goody-two-shoes? And why were you gone so long? Odion said you would probably be home from helping Ishizu in a few months not an entire year." Melvin had asked the question, it was bugging him forever. He had asked how long Marik would be there when Marik left, and Odion told him he didn't know, Probably a few weeks to a couple months depending on what Ishizu had planned for him.
"Oh so they didn't tell you the truth, huh? Interesting" Marik said finishing his unpacking and threw the suitcase under the bed and sat down. "Well, you remember how I got caught last year at that party, then my grades came out and they weren't so great, and then I got in trouble with the law? Well after Ishizu and Odion got sick of their failed attempts to raise me properly and failed discipline and how they were always disappointed in me, so they came up with a plan, Ishizu asked to be transferred to that museum that dad started in Egypt. They decided that they would send me there to try and take me away from this place cause they thought it would help me to change my ways.
"So when they told me this I said that I didn't want to go, and threw a tantrum, do you remember that? That day I came screaming in here and you asked what's wrong and I said none of your business. Well that was the day they told me. Later when I came down for dinner, you remember how they said I didn't have a choice and that was that, then immediately changed the subject. They told me I had a week to get ready and say goodbye to my friends and everything, then Ishizu and me would be on our way.
"I pretended that I was going to go help Ishizu with work so you wouldn't be worried but I would've expected Odion to tell you the real reason I left by now, any way, they told me that when my behavior was better and I stopped getting into trouble that I would be able to come back and that this was for my own good, but I knew better they just don't like being embarrassed by me.
"So while I was in Egypt, Ishizu had me see therapists and go to counseling and stuff like that, she tried to get me to change but for the first few months I was stubborn and refused to act differently, but then I realized that if I acted like I changed then they would keep their promise and send me back, so I acted like it was working quite a few times. I started to pretend like I had manners and I wasn't into breaking the law, I even started calling her 'sister' instead of 'sis' or 'Ishizu' or her nickname 'Isis'.
"After the eighth month there I couldn't stand Egypt any more, so I asked Ishizu if I could go home and she said my behavior had improved, and that she was proud of me and that she guessed I could go, but she changed her mind when I was caught stealing from the market there. He said I still needed to work on how to control my urges to steal stuff and kept me there for another four months, which is when I finally perfected my acting like a goody-two-shoes.
"Lucky for me she didn't notice the scars and scratches. That's why I had the knifes, they half of them are stolen, but toward the end of my stay there I decided to spend the money Ishizu gave me on knifes, sharp ones." Marik walked over to Melvin who was interested deeply in his brother's story. Melvin gasped at the many, many scars and scratches that covered the boy's arms, Marik had cleverly hidden under his favorite long sleeved shirt that he always wore, even before he left. "Ishizu had never even been suspicious. How I got them all from airport security I have no idea, but let's just say I have a lucky life." Marik ended his story with a wink at his brother.
"…So you haven't changed," Melvin put on a smirk at his brothers amazing performance that was good enough to fool anyone, if it had fooled Ishizu. "Well let's just say I've never been more proud of you"
"Thank you, thank you" Marik said mock bowing. Then he straightened up and yawned. "I really am tired so I'm just going to go to bed, now, goodnight, dear brother and if Odion finds out about me and " he holds up his arms. " then I will probably be sent to military school for the rest of high school."
"Please do you even have to ask, your secrets safe with me" With that Marik nodded, laying down on his bed and closing his eyes. Cross my heart and commit suicide if I tell. Melvin smiled when he thought of the fact his brother hadn't changed. If he had changed what would I do.
"Bakura!" Akefia heard his younger brother called and ignored how loud his dad was. Then he heard heavy footsteps come from the stairs, there's Bakura.
"What?" He heard Bakura say in an irritated voice.
"Why can't you behave in school" okay now I know the topic of today's fight now I get to know the content.
"Why do you always have to get drunk and yell at me for nothing unparticular" Bakura shot back. Bad move, bro.
"Nothing unparticular?" their dad raised his voice. "Nothing unparticular, oh I'll show you nothing unparticular" His dad threatened.
"Yeah, like you even know what that means." Bakura replied. Crack! Bakura hit the floor with a bang. "Yeah that hurt." He mocked. Oh Great, now Bakuras done it.
Akefia knew he would have to pour water on the flames before they got too high to be extinguished. He reluctantly got up, dropping his magazine on the floor where he was lying down and headed to the door. He opened it just in time to see his dad and Bakura wrestling around on the floor.
Akefia stood at the doorway and watched for a second thinking of what to say to stop them, since he didn't want to get in the middle and get beaten up as well, not that it would hurt. Suddenly it came to him.
"get a room" he said loud enough to be heard over their fighting. That got their attention. Both his dad and his brother starred at him. "If you two are going to be making out I would much rather you guys do it somewhere else, I don't want my friend uncomfortable when he gets here." The door bell rang. "Well speak of the devil, behave both of you."
He went and answered the door, revealing a young tan Egyptian with spiky blond hair, "Hey," The teen said.
"Hey come in and ignore the two homo's on the floor they just finished making out." Akefia said gesturing to Bakura and Mr. Touzoku.
"Whatever," Bakura said getting up and heading into the kitchen to look for something to eat, he listened into the threes conversation.
"Watch what you say young man." His dad told his brother. he opened up the fridge. Great dad forgot to go shopping…again.
"Yeah whatever," Akefia said, "So Melvin, you said you had something to tell me over the phone."
"He's back, he's finally back, I can't believe he's finally back after a year in Egypt" He heard Melvin say.
"Who? Your brother?" Akefia said.
"Yeah, he's finally back"
"Really, Marik, I missed him, how is he?" Akefia said excitedly. Bakura poked his head around the corner.
"Right now he's asleep, he looks thinner than he did when he left. And he's been cutting himself again. In my opinion, he's more bad boy now then he was when he left too."
"Marik's back?" Bakura now intruded in their conversation, giving up on finding something to eat and coming into the living room and sat down next to Melvin.
"Yeah," Melvin said, Mr. Touzoku walked up the stairs not interested in the boys conversation. That was just what Melvin wanted. "Looks like everybody gets a second shot at love, ain't that right Bakura?" He mocked.
"Shut up! I've told you a million times before, I do not have a crush on your kid brother." Bakura snapped.
"Sure, keep telling yourself that, maybe your wish will come true." Melvin said turning back to Akefia. "So apparently there is something different about him since he left Egypt. Before I came here, Odion told me that he was going to be in our grade. In fact he will be in most of my classes, Bakura, your smart aren't you, you have to be in order to be in my math class, that's one class Marik and I have too."
"It's not that I'm smart, but it's the fact that you're too dumb to move on to the next level in math." Bakura pointed out, Melvin and Akefia both tried to smack Bakura, but was a failed attempt since Bakura managed to dodge. "Oh yeah sorry bro forgot you were in that math class too."
"Whatever, so he's going to be going back to school then?" Akefia asked.
"Who?" Ryou suddenly came down the stairs, rubbing his eyes of sleep.
"Marik, did you take a nap?" Ryou's eyes went wide.
"Really, Marik's back. Where is he?" Ryou asked ignoring Akefia's question.
"Yeah, got back earlier today. He's at home asleep. I'll bring him over tomorrow; he's going back to school because if he were to be home schooled he would have to do it himself, because Odion certainly doesn't have the time." Melvin explained.
"Oh cool," Ryou said sitting in a chair opposite everyone else.
"I've got to go, Odion was expecting me back like an ten minutes ago, and I still got to stop for some stuff at the store." Melvin said standing up, Akefia followed him to the door.
"So what are you going to do?" Akefia asked in a hushed voice so the others wont hear.
"I don't know. I'm still working that out." Melvin said opening the door. "I'll know what to do tomorrow. Bye"
The door closed behind Melvin. Akefia turned to face his two brothers. "So, Marik's back"
Again, like with most of my stories, I have no friggin' idea where I'm going with this story. Sorry if you get confused, last night I only had like 3 hours of sleep so I can't really think straight sometimes. This story is probably going to have a lot of romances. Mostly guys. And yes I will have a couple made up characters, just incase you were wondering. Just so you know, I am very interested in what you think of this story, so please review and tell me what you think, even if it's mean I don't care you can help me fix a few things if they need fixing. Any questions on anything or ideas for where you might want this story to go, review or PM me I'm mostly on the computer 24/7 mostly, see, cause I have no life. None. And I would be happy to answer your PM's or Reviews in whatever way I can.
I got the title from one of my favorite evil songs, "When your evil" I love it, especially to Marik and Bakura. I didn't have anything else in mind for a title, so I just picked this title since it is about Marik Bakura Melvin, and Akefia, and Ryou. Ryou wouldn't really fit in with the title but… oh well.
Melvin admires his brother so much. In later chapters I'll write about some stuff that Melvin does bad. The only reason Marik got shipped off to Egypt was because some people couldn't keep their mouth shut, Bakura has a crush on Marik, the door scene with Melvin and Akefia will be explained in the next chapter. But for now I guess that's all I'm going to say.
Bye!
