Marik buried his face into her black hair. He could smell the strawberry scent of her hair and he grabbed her tighter as she slept. She stirred a little bit and Marik worried that he had awoken her but she didn't. He could feel her soft, shallow breathing on his arm. He was hot but she was cold and shivering in her sleep so Marik held her. Marik couldn't sleep so he watched her as she slept.
She was beautiful to him and he wanted to keep her, but Marik didn't know how she felt about him. It's not often a victim loves her kidnapper. "To be fair," Marik thought, "I didn't kidnap her."
Memories from a few months ago came into his mind.
Marik was sitting on the throne in his boat as one of his Rare Hunters came up to him.
"Yes, this better be good information" rasped Marik.
"Yes Master Marik, we found a girl in our secret warehouse in Domino", spouted a very nervous and generic looking Rare Hunter. Marik didn't remember the names of the basic members, all that mattered was that they provided him with rare cards. But Marik's interest rose when he heard about this girl.
"Where is she now? Bring her to me!" Marik replied.
"Very well Master Marik" the Rare Hunter chuckled and walked out of the room. He walked back in with a doe-eyed teenager who looked scared to death. The Rare Hunter pushed her down and she fell on her hands and knees, she looked up quickly at Marik but then she immediately looked back down at the ground.
Marik stared at the girl, she had black hair and she was wearing a simple black dress with a red slash around the waist, her bluish-gray eyes had tears in them and she was shaking. She was rather plain but she wasn't ugly.
"What were you doing near my warehouse!" Marik yelled at the trembling girl.
"I..I..wanted to draw the ocean", exclaimed the girl. Tears were now falling down her face.
Marik took pity on the teenager and he asked her in a quieter manner, "Do you know Yugi Mutou?"
She stammered as she tried to catch her breath, "No, not personally at least."
Marik stared at her some more before deciding what to do, she didn't know Yugi, but she had still seen him and his secret locations. He glanced at the Rare Hunter that brought her in and noticed that he was staring at her too mischievously. He looked back at the girl who was now sobbing.
"Alright, you leave," Marik said as he pointed at the Rare Hunter who grew an angry expression on his face. "Do not defy my orders," exclaimed Marik as he notice the angry expression.
The Rare Hunter sulked off and Marik stood up to walk towards the black-haired teen. She tried to move away from Marik. "Get up!" Marik ordered.
The teen scrambled to stand up, her knees still shaking in fear. She looked up into Marik's lavender eyes with a second of courage that soon left her. She only went up to Marik's neck and she was looking at his gold jewelry that adorned his body. Marik grabbed her by the arm and jerked her forward so that she knew to follow him. She yelped and walked forward.
"You can't be let go since you know too much, so you're going to stay her with me," Marik told her. She couldn't find the courage to say anything so she just nodded her head. He led her to a room that was furnished with a bed and a dresser. Connected was a bathroom too.
"This is where you will stay until further notice," Marik told her as she continued to nod her head in agreement, "This is one of the finer guest rooms and it is next to my personal bedroom, so I am going to know if you tried anything" Marik bluntly told her with a threatening tone.
"Now what is your name and how old are you?" Marik asked the shaking girl.
"Helena, sir and I'm 16" nervously replied the girl.
Marik nodded, not even bothering to correct that she didn't call him Master Marik like he ordered everyone else to do. He walked Helena into the room and sat her on the bed, he then walked out of the room. He could feel Helena's terrified eyes watching him but he just shut the door and locked it. Once the door was closed he heard Helena burst into tears again.
Later Marik went to go check on her and give her some food, he opened the door as quiet as possible and saw Helena in the bed fast asleep. Marik just stood there and stared at her before walking out again.
As Marik reminisced he started to drift off to sleep, he still held on to Helena though. He didn't know what she was going to say or think in the morning but he didn't care, she was still temporarily his. He planned on enjoying his time with her.
