Chapter 2: Moving Forward.

Me: Come on Marik please!?

Marik: (Sighs) fine.

Me: Yay.

Marik: Ashleigh does not own Yugioh or it's characters, just the plot and a laptop.

Me: Thanks Marik.

Marik: Welcome, now where's my fuckin pay check!

(7 months later)

(Serenity POV)

A sense of security enveloped me as Marik and I were in his apartment watching Twilight (A/N: Love it!!!) and Marik was almost killing himself with his Millennium Rod , this movie was my own personal form of torture for whenever he annoyed me. The movie was coming to the bit where Edward sparkled, and Marik groaned in anguish and stared at me with reluctant begging eyes.

"Please Serenity I'll do anything else that you want just please don't make me watch this again please!" Marik pleaded me and I smirked evilly.

"Well is the great Marik Ishtar begging me?" I asked mockingly and he glared at me and pulled out the Rod and faced it towards me threateningly and smirked.

"Don't make me use this on you." He smirked and I just laughed and took if off him and hit him round the head with it.

"Yeah right you can't even keep hold of it!" I taunted and he growled in annoyance. He grabbed my wrists and forced me onto my back on the couch, straddling my waist, I looked at him and blushed. He smirked and lowered his head to kiss me, we were interrupted by someone who I'm gonna kill later.

"Wow Marik, I didn't know you knew how to kiss!" Bakura taunted and our heads both turned to stare at Bakura and Marik's eyes narrowed at Bakura and he smirked.

"Where's your Hikari don't you need to kiss his face off some more." Marik retorted and Bakura's smirk fell, he glowered at Marik and I just sighed at those two as I went into the kitchen for a drink. The door knocker rapped and I shouted to Marik if he could get that, I heard his heavy footsteps pad along the hallway and the door slide open.

"Hey gay boy it's your Hikari!" Marik shouted and I heard something smash in the living room, I put the glass of water down and rushed into the living room to see my favourite vase was on the floor in pieces. Bakura looked up and looked shocked at the sight of my furious face, I glared at him and went to strangle him but he caught my hand and we both fell to the floor, trying to become the one victorious while knocking over various delicate and fragile items that fell to the floor with a smash. Marik and Ryou ran into the room to find Bakura straddling my waist trying to pin my arms down but I did the only thing that will bring any man down. He let out an oof and groan of pain and collapsed next to me, I quickly jumped up and regretted my actions when I saw he was struggling to get air into his lungs, I gasped and knelt beside him and started CPR on him, after five minutes he spluttered and sat up gasping, he looked around, saw me and almost jumped two feet away.

"Damn woman you are freaking dangerous!!!" He shouted pointing a finger at me but I just stuck my tongue out and laughed.

"Oh shut up kitty." I teased and his eyes instantly narrowed, he growled and Ryou-kun and Marik-kun laughed loudly, clutching their stomachs.

"She got you good there, Kura-kun." Ryou laughed but immediately stopped when he saw Bakura's vicious glare towards him, I chuckled and left to go back to the kitchen, to start dinner.

"Are you two staying for dinner?" I shouted and I heard Bakura chuckle.

"Of course it's free food." He laughed and I could almost imagine his smirk, I growled and grabbed a knife to prepare dinner with when a voice came into the air.

"Hello Serenity, I'm back!" The voice warned and I dropped the knife in fright and my eyes widened.

'No not him please!' I thought desperately as I clutched my head. He laughed mercilessly and spoke again.

"This time you won't escape, if you try to, my Hikari will pay the price!" He laughed and an image came into my head, Yami Marik put a vision of what his Hikari would look like if I tried to escape.

Marik was unconscious,bleeding in many places and was still getting tortured by Yami Marik.

"Nooooo!!!!" I screamed clutching my head tighter, willing the image to disappear but it stayed fixated in my mind, Marik,Bakura and Ryou sped into the kitchen to find me shaking my head, trying to get the man that had haunted me for so long, I banged into the cupboards and caused plates and cups to fall and smash. Marik gasped and went to grab my arms to stop me from causing any more damage but it caused a hated memory to stir.

(Memory)

"Get off me please." I begged Yami Marik as he grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to him, I blocked his goal by pushing my hand in front of me, stopping me from being pulled into his chest completely. He smirked and removed my other hand, pinned me up against the wall, his breath hot on my cheek. He stroked my cheek and I flinched away, he grinned and forced me to look at him.

"You're actually quite pretty, at least my Hikari has good taste in girls." He chuckled and I narrowed my eyes at him. I got my arm free and went to hit him but he took control once more and slammed it against the wall, causing extreme pain to my wrist.

"So alluring, you really should have took Marik's warning to stay away." He murmured meaning for me to hear. I stared at him, hating him with every ounce of my being, he laughed and kissed me right on my lips, my eyes widened and I struggled.

'Help me Marik.' I thought slipping into darkness from all the stress.

(Memory end)

Darkness.

Scared.

Emptiness.

Wait.....

Light.

Hope

Comfort.

Marik!

My eyes fluttered open to see a blinding white room, all clean and had a strong smell of bleach filled the air, my nose wrinkled at the offending smell and I put a hand to my eyes, trying to fend of the blinding light. I groaned quietly and heard a sound of movement next to her, I turned her head to see Marik sleeping in the chair like a baby. I looked around the room further to find cute Ryou sleeping on top of the evil Bakura on the bench, I let out a chuckle, crept out of my bed, moved towards where both of their heads where and screamed right down their ears. Their eyes shot open lightning quick as they both jumped ten feet into the air, they looked around wildly and Bakura glared at me while Ryou looked at me with saddened eyes.

"Why you little........." Bakura glared while mumbling a string of curses about me, I just laughed but fell silent when I saw Ryou's saddened eyes.

"That was really mean Ren'-chan." He mumbled, trying to sooth his aching ears and I felt a pang of regret in my heart, kind of like when I hurt Bakura but not so much, hurting Ryou was like kicking a puppy. I pulled him into a hug and stroked his long snow white hair, he returned the hug and gave me a small smile.

"I'm sorry Ryou-kun, I didn't mean to get you upset, it was just that Yami of yours that I was trying to get back at." I explained and Bakura looked shocked and face-palmed his forehead.

"Damn you wanted to get me back, when you obviously got me back by kneeing me in my balls you little cow!" Bakura yelled, rage evident in his eyes and Ryou narrowed his and stood in between me and his Yami. Bakura looked genuinely shocked when Ryou spoke.

"You will not insult Serenity-chan again or we are over Bakura-kun!" Ryou hissed deadly and Bakura eyes widened as he stared at us in complete and utter confusion and shock.

"Fucking hell, she is turning my Hikari straight, Damn!" Bakura cursed and Ryou kept the narrowed eyes face on and stared expectantly at him.

"I'm waiting Bakura-kun, apologize to Serenity-chan, Now!" Ryou ordered and Bakura muttered many various curses at me and reluctantly muttered an apology to me, I decided to make the best of this.

"What?" I pretended not to hear and he shouted right down my ear.

"Sorry Ra dammit!!!" he yelled and I fell over at the force of the sound, I rubbed my ear that was thudding dully as my gaze wondered over to Marik and I wondered why he hadn't woken up at the noise.

"Why hasn't Marik woken up, the noise we made should be loud enough to wake him?" I asked Ryou or Bakura and they stared at me.

"I knocked him out." Bakura said nonchalantly and I swore and stared at him as if he was living his last moments, which when I get my hands on him, will be.

"What?? Why??" I shouted and Bakura covered his ears at the offending noise and waited till I had calmed down to answer.

"Cause he wouldn't sleep or nothing until you woke up." He explained and I stared at Marik lovingly.

"Awwww." I said love-struck all over again and Ryou sighed and Bakura mock vomited. I scowled at him and he laughed.

"Hey don't get mushy, it's makes me want to throw up and if I do it's goin over you." Bakura warned and I stepped away cautiously, tripped over my own feet and landed in Marik's lap. He stirred and looked at me with those gorgeous light purple eyes as he smiled and kissed my cheek lightly.

"If only I could wake up everyday like this." He sighed and Ryou and I awed while Bakura fake vomited again. Marik stared at Bakura, his eyes narrowed so they were almost slits, he gently took me off his lap and neared Bakura, wielding the Millennium Rod towards him in a threatening manner. Bakura smirked and grabbed a hold of the Millennium Ring and two mystical forces filled the air and Ryou and I flew into the wall as a result of the force, I grabbed Ryou's arm and dragged him by the bed so no more damage could come to us. After a while they pretty much accepted that their power was equal, for now. They smirked at each other and began to fight like two brothers would, unfortunately Ryou got too close and got caught up in the fight, his cries for help were drowned out by delicate items smashing and the boys growls and snarls. I got bored after a while and split them up, Bakura tried to act cool and said he was going down to the canteen to get something to eat and Ryou followed him like a faithful puppy. Marik and I kissed for a while and he nibbled his bottom lip while pondering how to ask the million dollar question, I put my hand on his cheek and moved his head gently so he was facing me and kissed his lip so he would stop nibbling on his already bleeding lip, he smiled and took advantage of this situation but I was expecting his game, we fell onto the bed and kept on struggling for dominance, panting and keeping a hold of each other, not willing to let go. We were once again interrupted by the great and oh so wonderful spirit of the Millennium Ring wolf whistles.

"Wow Marik you might actually get laid tonight." Bakura chuckled, I decided to give him the ultimate punishment. I grabbed my laptop and went onto google images, typed in 'Bakura X Yami/Atem', loads of pictures came up and I chose the most dirty and loving one there. I smirked evilly and clicked on it so the image was enlarged then shoved the laptop right in front of Bakura's eyes. His eyes studied the picture and then they widened and he ran to the waste basket and dry-heaved in it, I laughed evilly and he scowled at me, the depths of his endless eyes boring into my soul, I shuddered but then showed him another equally dirty one and his dry-heaving began again.

"Please no more!" he pleaded after the 15th one and I smiled at Marik and he shrugged, I decided Bakura had had enough and turned off the laptop, he weakly lifted his head and Marik shook his and pulled Bakura onto his back and they started to leave the room when they saw Ryou rushing down the long hallway, worried at the sight of his yami and lover.

"What happened to Bakura-kun?" Ryou asked looking at Bakura with concern and Marik and I smirked at each other. I just put my arm around Ryou's shoulder and walked down the hallway, following Marik's heavy footsteps that echoed through the hall until we had reached the reception, Marik pressed down on the bell and a ping noise filled the spacious reception. Marik stared expectantly at the space in front of him, waiting for someone to appear there, he sighed with relief when a young high school girl of about 16 came to the front desk and looked at Marik flirtatiously and I gritted my teeth as she leant over to give him my sign out sheets, purposely showing her slightly clothed chest, Marik quickly grabbed the sheets from her clutch and I sighed in relief.

'Of course Marik wouldn't do that.' I told myself as I walked away holding Ryou's lower arm as if he was a child when in reality he was almost 19, when I heard a muffled sound of surprise and a loud thud, I turned round and saw that bitch kissing Marik's face off, his eyes wondered to mine, hope in them that I wouldn't blame him, I nodded as a signal that I didn't and ran towards that little whore at super human speed, flew over the desk while I grabbed her shoulders and we both fell to the floor with a thud, office equipment falling onto the floor. I grabbed her hair and pulled it harshly. She let out a squeal of pain and slapped my face, my face turned to the side at the force of the slap and Marik narrowed his eyes, jumped over the desk and grabbed the girl by her arm and pulled her up like she was a worthless doll.

"If you ever touch Serenity-chan again I will make you regret it, understood?" Marik growled viciously and the girl nodded rapidly, fear evident in her blue azure orbs. He dropped her and she fell on her skinny ass when suddenly I wondered what had happened to Bakura when I saw Ryou trying to awake his dark but Bakura just shoved him away feebly, mumbling something incoherently and Ryou looked hurt at this action, I came behind him and hugged him tightly. We all stood up and Marik lugged Bakura onto his back once more, groaning at the weight of his partner in crime and general psychoness (A/N: my word :O it's not in the dictionary). Ryou and I grinned and followed Marik to a taxi outside, I saw one approaching and stuck my hand out signalling for it to approach us. The taxi halted to a stop and the taxi driver motioned for us to get in, Marik groaned as Bakura's weight intensified as he put up one leg to step into the taxi. Marik almost lost his balance but Ryou and I rushed towards him and helped him regain it, he sighed gratefully and as he climbed into the taxi, Bakura raised his head ever so slightly and smirked at me. My mouth formed an 'o' and Bakura caught my surprise and glared at me as a signal for me too keep quiet unless I wanted something bad to happen to me. Then me and Ryou clambered into the back and the taxi sped off to Marik's apartment, finally after about ten minutes we turned a corner into our street. I sighed and tiredly rubbed my forehead with my hand, Marik saw my tired expression and put his arm around me comfortingly and then walked into the house with Bakura, Ryou paid the fare. We promised we would pay him back but he politely refused, I smiled at him and invited him and Bakura (reluctantly) in for dinner. Ryou accepted and when we came into Marik's living room we saw Marik strangling Bakura! I sped towards him, took the Millennium Rod out of his belt and pointed it towards them.

'Thank God I made Marik teach me how to use this thing.' I thought thankfully, plus I had my ring (Not Bakura's, the one that Yami Marik wanted in the last chapter) with the eye of Horus(?) on it. Bakura caught sight of my threatening pose first and he pointed towards me, Marik's gaze followed the direction in which Bakura was pointing to see me wielding the Millennium Rod towards them threateningly. He gulped and slowly got of Bakura (lol) and they backed away from me slowly, for every step they took backwards, I neared them with one step. The eye of Horus(?) shined brightly on my forehead as my eyes held a demonic possession to them, my normally green eyes (?) were now a fiery red and my auburn hair was now arranged in a very erratic fashion around I heart-shaped face. I ran a finger up and down the Rod and raised it towards them, those two looked frighted as fuck, and spoke in a voice that sounded like I was possessed by Satan himself.

"Are you two going to stop fighting or am I gonna have to send you to the Shadow Realm!" I asked and they nodded hurriedly, I smirked and took in this wonderfully humorous sight. The room had visibly darkened and Ryou looked like he was about to shit himself, I smirked even more and motioned for him to come over, as he walked over his legs shook visibly. I looked at Ryou and Bakura's frequent motions when I finally clicked, Bakura was telling Ryou to grab the Millennium Items that were in my possession. I smirked and laughed evilly, turning to Ryou, his eyes widened as I raised the Rod towards him, my eyes glinting. Bakura growled and tried to steal the Rod off me but I pointed the Rod at him and it glowed a beautiful golden colour as it's magical forces pinned Bakura up against the wall, Marik looked at me in disbelief and I smiled at him sweetly.

"Now are you gonna be good or do I have to force you against the wall as well?" I asked being generous enough to give him a choice. He said that he wouldn't interfere and I smiled gratefully at him, he knew this was his punishment for fighting with Bakura again. I turned to Ryou and saw him staring worriedly at Bakura, I sighed sympathetically but it had to be done, I once again raised the Millennium Rod and the Rings to give it a boost and Ryou's eyes turned blank as the symbol of Horus(?) appeared on his forehead. Ryou was under my control, Bakura was struggling furiously under the magical force of the Millennium Items and I decided Marik could be pinned up against the wall too. Just for fun. I whispered something in Ryou's ear but clearly enough so the troublesome duo could hear.

"Make out with Marik." I whispered and the duo's eyes widened as Ryou nodded and started to near Marik, Marik and Bakura stared at me with a look that said ' This is our punishment, you sick minded girl!!', but I just smirked and enforced even more magical force so the duo was completely helpless and at my mercy. Marik let out a muffled cry of shock as Ryou attached his lips to Marik's, Bakura looked torn between anger, hate at me and desperation for Ryou to regain control of his mind again. I laughed as I took out a camera and took a few pictures but then I remembered Bakura's punishment, I laughed and walked over to Bakura and nibbled at his lower lip. His eyes widened and he struggled beneath me, I smirked and gave him a full long kiss, nibbling on his bottom lip then exploring his mouth with my tongue. Marik and Bakura looked at each other in shame and were mentally cursing me and my unhealthy mind (:P). I drew away from Bakura and decided to give Ryou control of his body again, his eyes returned to their normal colour and he stared ahead of him to see himself kissing Marik. He screamed a high pitched scream and jumped away from Marik. His eyes turned accusingly to me and I nodded, he animé cried and I felt a pang of sorrow in my heart. I cuddled him, his tears soaking my shirt as he cried in confusion and the scariness of the situation.

"I'm sorry Ryou, please forgive me." I pleaded, now ashamed at what my actions had done to Ryou, he nodded and we hugged until a sarcastic voice filled the air.

"Awww what a loving moment, now if you could do me a favour." Bakura began sarcasm dripping from every word. "Get me the fuck down!!"

His voice screamed and Ryou and I jumped in shock, I then quickly fumbled round for the Millennium Rod to find that Ryou had it and had an evil grin on his face.

"R-Ryou." I stuttered and his grin grew wider, something wasn't right. This grin wasn't like my fake evil one before, it held a sense to it, like I had seen it before. While I was thinking, Ryou had neared me and pinned me against the wall with un-Ryou strength, as his hands pinned mine against the wall I realised who it was.

He was back.

In Ryou.

Shit!
