Working for Marik

Chapter 2: The flashback

Bakura grinned at Hikari, as he walked up to her. She could feel his breath on her delicate skin.

"What is he doing...?" Hikari thought as she looked up at him.

Bakura backed away from her, and once again instructed her to follow. She sighed of either releif or disappointment, and followed Bakura into the building.

They walked up to an elevator, walking in a closing the door behind, going up a few floors.

He leads her to a room at the end of a hall, and opens the door, for her to enter. "This will be your room for the remainder of your stay...I will be in the appartment across the hall."

She sighs, and begins to unpack her stuff as Bakura shut the door and headed back to his room.

As soon as she put her clothes away, she decided to take a shower. She feels the hot spray of the water, as she remembers what Marik had said to her before she left.

Flashback:

Hikari was in her room, laying on her bed reading a book peacefully. All of a sudden, the door to her room practically flies open, and in storms an angry-looking Marik.

She looked up from her book, shocked by his sudden behavior.

"Marik...what wro---" She was interupted as he punched the wall, creating a small crater in the cement.

"Take it easy Marik!" She shouted, but shouted quietly.

Marik continues on his little rampage, flinging curses and storming around the room, finally coming to a hault at the foot of her bed.

He sat down and put his hands onto his head.

"Marik?" She timidly asked, setting her right hand on his right shoulder, for she was behind him. When he hadn't reacted to this, she sat up and set her other hand on his other shoulder, massaging him slightly.

His back was tense, but under Hikaris care, he started to calm down, and begins to loosen up.

"Hikari," He says, turning around to face her, causing her to stop her actions. He reaches up with one hand and cups her chin, pulling her close to his face.

Their forheads were touching, she could feel his breath on her skin.

"Hikari," He says again, getting her attention from the last interuption, continuing to lean his forhead against hers. "I need you to do something for me..."

He finally lets go of her as she looks into his violet eyes.

"What is it Marik?" She asked, being patient for when he gave her his answer.

"I'm sending you to Japan..." He finally said. She looked at him shocked.

After the initial shock, she finds her voice again. "Japan? Why?"

Marik gave her a slight annoyed glare, wondering why she had questioned him. "I'm sending you to gather information about the Pharaoh. Find out everything you can about him."

"I'm asking you to do something that my Rare Hunters cannot."

"Are you asking me t----" Marik cuts her off, and nods.

She couldnt beleive that Marik was asking this of her, and for the first time in her life, she was furious with him. Hikari let him know by swinging her hand at his face, planning to slap him.

He catches her wrist, and by out of reflex, she swings her other hand at him, but he ends up catching that one as well.

He pulls her roughly closer to him shouting, "What the hell do you think you're doing, Hikari!?"

Instead of answering him, she struggled to free herself from Mariks strong grip on both of her wrists.

"Hikari..." He says as she brings up her knee to slam him in his gut.

Marik lets out a cry of pain and doubles over, releasing her. She makes a run towards to the door, and tries to twist the knob open, but alas, it is locked.

She turned back to get Marik for the key, but as soon as she turned back, he was nowhere to be found.

"What the fuck..?" She asks as someone grabs her from behind, and encloses both of her arms to her side by wrapping his arms around her waist toghtly.

"Goddammit!" She hand'nt time to think as she was thrown on the bed, and pinned by her wrists as Marik holds then above her head.

She growls and bucks her hips, trying to force him off.

"Calm down, Hikari..." Marik states calmly. He loosens his grip on her wrists.

Marik tried to look into her eyes, but she turned away from him. "Leave me alone..." Hikari said, in a small voice.

Tears threatened to spill from her eyes, so she closed them.

Marik turned her face to make her look at him.

Her eyes are still closed, when suddenly she feels his lips against hers...

Her eyes flew open in shock. She opens her mouth to say something, but Marik took that opportunity to slip his tounge into her mouth.

His hand came up to caress her cheek, and she forgot about being angry.

He backs up, allowing them both to breathe for a few as he leans in closer and whispers something into her ear, "Do this for me please?"

Hikari thought for a moment, then nodded her head.

End Flashback

She sighs at the spray of hot water on her shoulders and neck for a bit longer, as she stepped out and turned off the shower, and grabs a towel. Upon her room, she slips on her PJ's for it was time she hit the sack. She was in the process of putting on her shirt when her door slammed open, and coming in is Bakura.

"Don't you ever knock!?" Hikari yelled as she covered her top half with her shirt she was holding.

Bakura just smirks at her, and throws her a package that she hardly caught in the process.

"That is the uniform for school tomorrow. I already enrolled you, so you dont need to worry about anything." With that, he leaves and slams the door shut.

She grumbled about how he has been an ass lately, and sees the pink color of the uniform as she sets it aside. She crawls into her bed, and starts to fall asleep for the night.
