Chapter 1

Katana: Sorry it's kind of slow to start oh well Please REVIEW!!

Marik drove out of the huge Kaiba Corp parking lot, watching his raven haired sister walk into the white paneled building.

He stopped at the mall to pickup a few of life's necessities such as five packages of raw meat for a certain albino lover. He looked wistfully at the white flamed motorbike that was parked near the entrance of the shopping center.

After he had picked up the needed items Marik started to head back to the car as he passed a new shop that he had never seen before, as he approached he noticed it had a certain abnormality.

The windows were framed with purple curtains, gold chains and sparkling jewelry littered across the small entrance and around the exterior.

Marik suddenly dropped the groceries and covered his nose, causing many people to stair at the blond Egyptian. "Uck!" His sense of smell immediately overridden by the overwhelming sent protruding from the small shop.

He peered in the shop after picking up the groceries, making sure the milk did not spill, his long sleeved black shirt covering his nose and mouth. It smelt like a mess of perfumes all clumsily mixed together and looked about the same way. The walls were covered with trinkets and spell books, glass display cases were fastened to the wall in every direction each one holding a shiny or rare item.

"Well hello there young feller!" came a voice from inside the store.

Marik jumped at the sound of someone addressing him, "Uhh...hello?" Marik looked around the shop for the owner of the voice the suddenly she appeared before him or well below him.

A small lady was standing nearly two feet in front of him, Marik noticed that she camouflaged superbly with the shop, she wore over fifty bangles on each arm and a ridiculous amount of necklaces around her skinny frail neck. She was very petite but wore many layers of baggy clothing concealing her full shape.

Marik couldn't help but smirk at the old lady, "Hello, I was just passing by…"

The lady's eyes widened, "No don't go for I am a witch! I can make potions for you!" Marik turned to leave.

"I know what lay in your soul!" The woman shouted after him causing the attractive blond to stop in his tracks.

It had been nearly a year since his yami had taken up his own body and left him to his own body how could this lady know? He turned slowly to face the woman who motioned him to follow, he sighed and did as he was directed following her deeper into the shop.

When they reached the front desk he turned to her, "You said you knew what was in my soul…"

The lady beamed at him from behind the counter, "Of course sweetie! It's what lies behind every young mans soul…love! Now I have some love potions here-"

Marik smirked, and thanked Ra that Bakura was not here to witness his stupidity, "Thanks but no thanks see ya!" Marik walked towards the door and motioned to open the door with the old lady calling after him.

"Wait I'm a fortune teller too!"

This time Marik couldn't hold it in he burst out laughing "I have enough advice from fortune tellers already thanks." He turned to open the door when he felt a cold mist sprayed in his face and around his body. "Ahhh what is that!" Marik raged.

The lady grinned and held up a small bottle, "Good health potion."

"Get away from me!" Marik shook his head as he hurried out the door.

The old lady snapped her fingers angrily and marched toward the counter where a black cat had curled up, "Oh darn Winston." She stroked her cat and glanced down at a small bottle on the counter that was labeled 'good health potion' that sat on the oak counter.

She looked over that the identically sized bottle in her hand, (the one she had sprayed Marik with) she read the label on the bottle and her eyes grew wide. "Uh-oh Winston."
