This is my 1st story, and hope you like reading it! Please tell me how I can improve my writing!(and also how to know what to rate my stories)

Also just FYI... when I say "Marik" I am referring to "Yami Marik", and when there is "_" just put in your name. Hotaru and Kaida are names of OCs of mine so yeah I just wanted to use those.

I don't own Marik/Yu-gi-oh! although I wish I did.

ANYWAY! Enjoy! ^_^

"_! Come on! You gotta get into bed otherwise all three of us will get in trouble!" Hotaru said looking at you then the door then you again.

You snap out of the trance you were in….

"Shit! I forgot! Sorry!"

You say as you run over to the bed where your friends are already under the covers terrified of what might happen if you don't get over there before Marik comes to check on you to make sure that you follow your curfew.

It had been only a couple months since Marik took control. You figured he was the power hungry type who needed to be in control… of pretty much everything.

You lie down in the bed and try to cover up some with the blanket when the three of you hear footsteps growing closer outside.

Kaida whispered to you "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!"

"What does it look like I'm doing you dumbass?" you hiss back.

You finally get settled and the footsteps stop, you all close your eyes, and pretend to be asleep. You wish you could see what Marik looks like up close though… You've rarely ever seen him in general, the only way you would be able to recognize him, is his hair. Sandy blonde, but has a kind of gold shimmer to it whenever the light hits it just right, not to mention that his hair has spikes that really makes his hair unique and identifiable. The doorknob starts to turn, and you slow down your breathing so it actually looks like you're sleeping.

At this point you're just going off of what you can hear… Marik enters the room, and walks over to your bed. For some reason, every time you ARE awake, and Marik comes to check up on you, you fall asleep as soon as he's near you.

You start to dream and lose your grip of reality.

Someone is carrying you from your bed to… wait a minute, where the hell is this person taking you? You slowly open your eyes and look up to see who's carrying you. Who you see causes your eyes to open the rest of the way and widen so much that you thought they would fall out of your head. Marik?… who, what, where, how and WHY? I must be crazy to dream this and how could I when I've never seen him up close?

This feels so freaking real! It's REALLY starting to make you nervous… since you can't exactly pinch yourself to see if you're dreaming, you'll just have to go with plan B, biting your lip. (Which surprisingly serves as a good alternative for you) You bit your lip lightly; You never really had to bite down hard. Nothing. Okay, I'll try to bite harder… "Ow! Ra damn it!" you curse under your breath. That hurt! But aside from the pain nothing happened. Wait a minute, I'm NOT dreaming? But I mean, I felt myself GO to sleep, this CAN'T be real! You say to yourself.

Marik looks down at you, smirks and continues to walk, taking you to Ra knows where… so you just sit there, your eyes still as big as can be, hoping he might explain what the hell is going on. So you wait.

Finally he starts to talk, smirk still on his lips. "Heh, I must say, I didn't expect you to wake up that fast… I'm actually kind of impressed". He said still looking ahead.

His voice, is very… I don't know, sexy. You thought. You've heard him speak before but he's using a completely different tone now… You can't help but blush slightly.

"Um sir, forgive me for asking but, w-where are we go-?" before you could finish your sentence he puts a finger to your lips and says "Hush, don't worry about that, you'll see soon enough my dear." you blush about five different shades of red. There was a look in his eye that you could not put a name to… but whatever it was, it didn't seem to be a threat of any kind.

So you decide, to not say anything, and wait. Hopefully you would get some answers soon though; you've always been very impatient. And thanks to that impatience, after about five minutes, you couldn't help but ask; "Sir? I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"

He chuckles a little to himself, then smirking again, he replies with; "No _, you haven't done anything that would get you in trouble."

What the? Wait he knows my NAME? I didn't know he knew my name, even if he did I didn't expect him to ever care enough to actually use it! So you sit there dumbfounded and maybe one or two minutes pass.

Marik stops walking, and looks at you, "We're here." He says simply. And with that he set you down, your legs are a bit wobbly, so you stumble a little, but then regaining what little balance you actually possess, you look around and don't recognize where you are at ALL. You were in front of a door, that's all you knew, you don't know where the door led to, you just know it was there.

"W-where is here?" you say looking up at him confused.

He grabs the doorknob and starts to open the door, and with his other hand he grabs your wrist a little too hard for your taste, but you don't complain, you don't want to make him mad. "Well follow me then" he says smirking AGAIN. Ra he likes to smirk a lot!

You walk through the door, and he promptly lets go of your wrist so you can walk in. I'm confused… like REALLY confused. He brought me to an aviary?

You turn to look at him and you're unable to actually generate a word let alone a sentence.

"I heard that you liked birds, so, yeah…"he says although he doesn't look you in the eye.

Nothing was making any sense; my "boss" just did this extremely nice thing for me out of nowhere! "S-sir, although this is a very thoughtful gesture, I – I don't really understand the reason for it…" Oh lovely I'm stuttering like an idiot… He still doesn't look you in the eye, so you walk over to one of the rails lining the walkway and look at all the beautiful birds. Maybe if I'm not staring at him he'll be more comfortable speaking… you close your eyes and listen to all the different bird sounds making a lovely harmony with each other… then you hear a different sound, what sounded like footsteps, but you dismiss it as some kind of wood pecker noise and continue to listen to the birds.

"To be honest, I don't really know the reason for it either…" you jump slightly at his voice and open your eyes, it seemed like his voice was coming from right behind you. Out of the corner of your eyes you can see his arms were on either side of you, gripping the railing. You turn around so you're facing him; you lean back against the rails feeling a tad nervous…

You look into his eyes; you can't even begin to read them. You start blushing like crazy. Yeah NOW he looks me in the eye… You think to yourself.

"You see that's what I'm trying to figure out…" He leans in a couple inches. Your heart is racing like there's no tomorrow, and by now you're pretty sure you've blushed every shade of pink and red that's in the color spectrum.

"Oh…" you say nodding your head; you look down from his stare. His lavender eyes make my heart race and I have no idea why. You feel one of his hands lightly grab your chin so you're looking at him again; he's even closer to you than before… "W-wait, sir what are you doi- ." Just like before you're interrupted by him putting a finger to your lips.

"Shh, I just want to check something…" He says with a voice that if possible, has gotten even MORE alluring and tempting. He lets go of your chin, and you can see it return to its original spot on the rail.

You quickly close your eyes, to avoid his gaze. You squeak as he whispers into your ear; "You're cute when you blush, did you know that?" He doesn't say anything else, but you could tell that he's still right by your ear… maybe he's waiting for me to answer.

So you do the only thing that you find logical, "Erm, uh- no?" you reply. "Heh, well now you know…" you didn't have to look at him to know that he was smirking; you could practically hear it in his voice. you feel him move again but you can't tell where he is… and I am NOT opening my eyes, because I'm sure if I do I will probably have a heart attack or something…

Then, you feel him brush his lips against yours, kissing you lightly. When he pulled away, you open your eyes and look at him; his eyes were half-lidded and were looking right into yours. you didn't think it was possible but somehow your face got even redder. I have no idea how I should respond to this... so you kind of just sit there.

It got quiet for a moment or two….then you feel his arms wrap around you tightly in a hug. Automatically, you hug back. Not sure of what else you could possibly do at the time. Oh Ra, he even SMELLS good. You nuzzle his chest, your brain was pretty much mush by now so you were just going on instinct, and that was your instinct. You wanted to 'get into the hug more' and the only way you could do that was to nuzzle.

In turn to the nuzzling Marik hugged you tighter. You sigh contently and smile a little. You look up at him slightly and ask "Did you figure it out?"

"I guess you could say that." He leans down and kisses you again. And whispers "Because I like you." You give him a kiss on the cheek and say "I like you too, Marik."
