DARK HIGHWAY
Chapter 2/blue
Marik felt someone shaking him. "Wake up!" came his sister's voice. Marik's head hurt badly. He was sleeping on the same sofa.
"Shh… Ishizu, quiet down… What do you want…" he murmured.
"Marik, I can't find Akane anywhere."
"She went to get wine…"
"It's morning! Everyone left a few hours ago!"
That made Marik open his eyes and sit up. "What..?" He looked around. The apartment was a mess, Odion was cleaning up a bit and Ishizu was standing by the sofa. She wasn't mad, she was worried. There really was no sight of Akane anywhere. "Maybe she just fell asleep somewhere… I'll go look for her…"
Their apartment wasn't big, so the search ended quickly. She was gone, and the thought of that made Marik wake up completely.
"Marik!" he heard Ishizu yell from the kitchen.
"Found anything?" he asked, feeling that she didn't just go out somewhere on her own.
"There's…wine in the fridge…" she said, pointing to the wine bottle. There was a note attached.
"She's all mine now. –BR" it said.
"Wh-… AW, F*CK!" Marik yelled.
Akane groaned as she was waking up. "Whaa…" She was still confused, the chemicals she inhaled really screwed with her head. Aka was in a car. What the hell is going on… She sat up and looked out the window. It was morning, and there was nothing else but plain fields around, and the single road that the car was standing on. This seems like battle city all over again… she thought, opening the car's door and getting out. Even the single sound of a door opening hurt her head.
"You're killing me in here!" came Yami's voice.
Not on purpose this time… What the hell happened…? Last thing I remember is… BAKURA!
"Don't yell! Even in your mind, please, do not yell…"
Wait until I find that asshole… I wonder why he got me into this…
"Don't know, don't care, just get some pain killers!"
Akane felt him leave her thoughts. Short chats like this weren't that bad. She started looking around, but there was no sign of Bakura anywhere, unless he was in the nearby forest. Aka opened the trunk of the car. My bag… she thought, looking at the orange bag. It had a few of her clothes and things inside, so she took it. Aka closed the trunk and looked around the car. It was dark blue. She wanted to key it so bad, but sadly she had no key.
"Awake already?" came Bakura's voice from behind her. He seems to appear in places really fast.
"YOU!" she said, turning around, frustrated.
"Wait, I can explain! Just hear me out!"
"Ishizu, BR can only mean Bakura Ryou, please shut up with your maybe-it-wasn't-him theories!" Marik yelled. He was pissed off. Badly.
"Okay, okay… But why in the world would he do that?" she said.
"Hell do I know! Fact is, we don't even know where to start looking!"
"Wait, wasn't she going to get some wine the last time we saw her?" Ishizu's voice sounded like it's getting on to something.
"Yeah..?"
"The 24 hour store!" both Ishizu and Odion said.
"Then let's go!" Marik said, hoping to find something.
"Alright, in my car."
Joey and his sister Serenity were out for a morning walk. Serenity thought it would be a good idea for Joey to get some fresh air and quiet after a party like that, but those plans were ruined by the screeches of Ishizu's car's wheels and a panicking Marik. "Akane's scarf! Joey, whee did you get that scarf?!"
"Akane's? Oh… I found it on a branch not far from your home… Didn't know it was her, sorry." He started taking it off, but Marik stopped him.
"That doesn't matter! It's about Akane, get in the car and show me where you found it, I'll explain on the way there!"
Both Joey and Serenity were dragged into Ishizu's car. Joey started showing the way…
"I only need you to come with me to Egypt for just a little while! There's this one place I need your help in! After that, I'll bring you back to Marik, unharmed. Only that. If you refuse I'll just have to drug you and mind control you all the time and I really don't want to do that, so make it easier for both of us and come to Egypt with me." Bakura explained.
That made Akane think. It's true, he still has the millennium ring, but Aka wasn't aware of that it can control minds as well. And maybe a trip to Egypt isn't that bad?
She went up to Bakura and punched him. "That's for kidnapping me and drugging me! But… fine, I'll go."
"Yeah, I deserved that… Good. I took your documents and a few things, which I see you've already found. And I have the tickets, the flight is in an hour. This won't take long, a week maximum."
"I want to call Marik." she stated.
"No! He mustn't know about this."
"What, why?!"
"I'll explain when we are finished. Now get back in the car. We have to get to the airport."
Akane sighed. He annoyed her more and more with every passing moment, but there was no point in running away. A week isn't that bad… It's faster than getting drugged and mind controlled, probably.
"Now I don't have a single doubt that it was Bakura. His car was standing right here." Marik said, after they got to the place where Joey found her scarf.
"So he drove off with miss Akane… Brother, what are we going to do?" Odion asked, just as worried.
Marik was silent at first.
"I'll think of something…"
Important: from now on, I'll be illustrating parts or people from my stories, so check my profile every so often! For now, have a drunk Marik picture :'D (link on profile). I may not be too good at drawing, but it's better than nothing, and if I get my friend to draw my shit for me, it's gonna be gooood!
AN: Bakura here is only the spirit of the ring. Bakura – spirit, Ryou – host body. That's how it does in my head… Review?
