Marik sighed and gripped the bedsheets as he felt Bakura trail kisses down his stomach, towards his crotch. Moments before Bakura was able to reach his member, the door rang. Fuck, who the hell is it and why did they have to interrupt me now?! Groaning, Marik gets up, gets dressed and heads down the stairs towards the front door followed by Bakura, who was grumbling to himself, also cranky about the interruption. Opening the door, Marik was surprised to see Yugi Muto. Yugi never really visits on his own, if he comes it's usually with Joey, Tea, and Tristian.
Yugi looks up at the newly wed couple with a guilty look on his face. "I'm so sorry this has to happen to you guys, I know you just got married a few months ago… I wish there was another way…" What was he talking about?! "Yugi, uh… Your not making any sense, what happened?" Taking a deep breath, Yugi reaches into his backpack and hands Bakura a letter. Marik watches Bakura read, watches the way his red eyes scan the page, watches the way his thin lips move as he reads. His lips are so beautiful, I can just imagine his warm lips around my… "Marik!" Bakura shouts suddenly. Torn apart from his fantasy, Marik sees that Bakura had dropped the letter and had his back towards him. Marik watched for a moment, noticing that he was running his hands through his white hair. He only does that when he's nervous, but what could he be nervous about? Surely not the letter, any letter delivered by tiny Yugi Muto cant be anything to get worked up over.
Picking up the letter, Marik begins to read: "Dear whoever this may concern If you are reading this letter, then I am probably dead. But I do not want anyone to mourn for me, as I have lived a good life. There are, however, more pressing matters at hand, my granddaughter. Little Rebecca Hawkins, the only woman I have ever loved. She is the sweetest child and deserves only the best. It is my last wish that Rebecca receives a stable household and family after my passing. She needs to be able to go to school and eventually college, she needs a stable house, and most of all she needs two parents that love and care for her, with all of their hearts. When I say two parents, I mean it. She needs to have TWO parents! That is a key component in raising Rebecca to become the Archaeologist she always wanted to be. Everyone deserves a stable household and family unit.
I am entrusting this responsibility to whoever my favorite student, Yugi Muto decides is most suitable for the task. Here are some final notes that Rebecca's new parents will need to know: She is allergic to nuts, she needs to be in bed by 8 pm in order to supply her with the proper amount of sleep, her diet should be healthy, finally she should be allowed and encouraged to chase her dream of being an archaeologist. Just like me. I am sure that Yugi will pick the right couple for the job.
Thank you, new parents, for taking up this responsibility. I know this may not be the easiest of tasks, but know you are doing the right thing. Yours truly, Professor Arthur Hawkins"
Feeling a cold rush in his spine, Marik grabs a nearby table for support. A child?! Already?! I don't think I'm ready for this, Its only been two months since I got married. I wasn't even thinking about kids yet! I don't even know if I ever want them! Turning to face Yugi and taking a deep breath before speaking, "How might I ask, you came to this wonderful conclusion that we are the best suited to take care of a…. of a…. child?" In the background, Bakura grunts in agreement to the sarcasm in Marik's voice.
"Well, it's just that…. I just… I didn't want to give this responsibility to you! But, nobody else is better suited for the job. For one, you are already married so that takes care of the 'two parents' requirement. Also, Joey, me, Tristian, Duke, and Ryou can't do the job because none of us have a stable household we all live with grandpa and we still go to school so were too young. Kaiba and Atem cant because they are always busy. Kaiba with his company will never have time to spend with Rebecca, and Atem being the most famous duels will be too busy with competitions and paparazzi." Yugi rambled, looking anxious.
Before Marik could respond, a pick up truck pulled into the driveway. Marik was surprised to see yet another person who doesn't visit very often, Joey Wheeler. Marik watched Joey approach the house when suddenly he noticed a small girl following him. Oh no, I didn't even agree to Yugi's terms yet! Hell no! I am not taking that thing into my house! The blond haired boy approaches Marik and Bakura, "Hey guys…. So uh.. dis is da kid… her name's Rebecca and uh.. congraduations?... lets go Yugi, before dey change dere mind!" Grabbing Yugi, Joey sprints back into his trunk driving away. Leaving 10 year old Rebecca standing outside looking up at Marik with bright curiosity. Ra help me…
