DISCLAIMER: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh. I'm sorry I haven't started this sooner, but I can hardly find free time anymore. But, please comment or leave any ideas. They are welcomed and I'm going to decide to continue this story or not based on the reviews. It's just something I started when I was bored. I hope you like it. Enjoy! :)

Something that feels like seaweed of some kind wraps around my leg and pulls me under. It's a net entangling my legs together preventing me to swim back up to the surface easily. I struggle up for air. I gasp. "Help!" Then I'm pulled back down. Suddenly I feel a wave from someone jumping in, but I can't see them. It's getting darker. I'm losing consciousness!

"Don't worry you are safe with me." Who is that talking? I open my eyes to a hot guy with medium length blonde hair standing over me. "I saved you. Are you here with anyone?" I shake my head. Who is this guy? I have lived here for five years and never seen him before. "Well you will stay with me then."

"No, I have my own place here but thank you." Man this guy is pushy. "I have never seen you before. Who are you?"

"Oh, my name is Marik sweetheart." He smirks. "I'm new here. Where are the other neighbors?"

"They don't stay year round like I do. They just went home." I smile awkwardly. "Thank you for saving me, but I must get home. I am on the other side of the lake. I need to get there before it's too dark."

"I am your next door neighbor. You don't have to go yet. What's your name?"

"Steve." I wait for the same response I always get: 'Your name is Steve!' It never came.

"You are really cute Steve. Do you want to go to a party tonight with me?"

"Umm…I'm not cute, but thank you and sure?" Why the hell did I just agree to go to a stranger's party with a pushy hot guy that I know nothing about? He is hot…

"Why do you say you aren't cute?" Marik looks genuinely confused. "You are the most attractive girl I know."

"I have been called ugly my entire life and the one time I trusted someone who said I was pretty they left. No call, no letter, no note, nothing. That was three years ago." I turn away.

"Who was that?" Marik actually looks concerned. Tears come to my eyes as I, once again, fall in love with someone easily. What's wrong with me? Didn't Bakura teach you anything? No guy can be trusted. "Don't cry I'm sorry." He pulls me into a tight embrace and wipes away my tears. He smells of nature. It is the sweetest scent ever, definitely the most seductive. "Who was it?"

"What?" Marik's voice brings me back from my forbidden thoughts.

"Who hurt you this badly?"

"No one, he left a long time ago. He may even be dead." I look away. Marik lifts my chin up so I can see his enchanting purple eyes. He is so tall and muscular. He probably has three girlfriends already.

"Give me his name and I will find him and bring him back to you. You deserve whoever you want." Marik keeps his large hand on the side of my face. It is smooth and warm.

"Bakura, his name is Bakura." I feel his body tense. Marik knows Bakura!

"That bastard." Marik is shaking with rage. "Do you want him back?" His eyes plead me to say no. Good cause it was years ago. I need to get over myself.

"I have healed from the heart break. But if I ever see him again his nuts will be in a pickle jar on his mantle, cut off by yours truly." Wow way to sound sane Steve… "I'm sorry that sounded crazy. I mean I don't want to see him ever again." Nice save stupid…

"I can go along with the plan." He winks at me. "Well do you want to be my date tonight?"

"Is Bakura going to be there?" I ask hesitantly.

"Yes." Marik looks down on me. "But I promise he won't bother you."

"I trust you. I will go with you, as long as you don't mind if I make him jealous." I give a seductive smile.

"What do you need my lady?" Marik plays along.

"I will wear a tight, small red dress with black pumps." I wink at him. "You may get lucky tonight. I might have to kiss you." I give him a seductive look. "But I have to go now if you want me to look attractive." I race out of Marik's house to get ready for tonight. Am I excited because I have a hot date or to rub it in Bakura's face?
