Sorry it's been a while. But here you go enjoy!

Chapter two: The plan

I held my cheek as I got up from the floor. Damn, him for hitting me so hard.

"I'm sorry, Master Marik. I had over stepped my boundaries. What would you like me to do for you today?" I bowed to him on one knee. His eyes had tinge of madness. Something was going on.

"We don't have much time. I have a special mission for you. Get close to Seto Kiba and then steal his blue eyes white dragon. Fail this mission and I will personally end your life," Master Marik walked away with a silent smirk on his face. I was a little shocked at his tone. I have never seen him this way. He looked like something finally snapped inside of him. I stared at him as he walked out of site. He was planning something. The look on his face was malicious. I quickly got up off the ground and started to walk back home. It has been a while since I have had to actually have a close relationship with a target. I am afraid that this will be impossible. However, I just have to do my best. My baby sister needs to be protected.

As soon as I got home, Cedar was asleep on the couch in the living area in our aparartment. I had taken very careful care in decorating my apartment making sure it felt cozy and warm so Cedar didn't miss our original home to much. The warm colors painted on the walls, with a bit of heat circulating through the house, it was perfect. Cedar stirred a little bit and peeked her eyes open at me.

"Onee-sama, where did you go? I was worried," She had slight concern in her eyes. Cedar was like an open book. She showed everything on her face.

"I know. I'm sorry. How was school? Meet any cute guys or good friends?" I asked this question so she didn't push farther into where I was.

"It was good. I made a friend. He is really nice," Sleepily Cedar sat up from her laying position and stretched her body.

"He huh?" I teased her a little and sat next to her. She laid her head on my shoulder and made a distasteful face.

"Onee, don't tease me. He is just a friend. I wouldn't mind seeing you have someone more than friends though. You haven't had a boyfriend or anyone close to you in a long time. I think it would be good for you," Cedar looked up at me. I place my head on hers.

"You know I can't have anyone close to me. They always end up getting hurt in the end," I said. People always got hurt when they befriended me. Marik made sure that I didn't forget that I belonged to him. I did not own my life.

"That's not true Onee. I am still here. I think if you really tired you could have a ton of friends. You just need to not push them away," Cedar was genuinely concerned that I'd never have a normal life, or maybe just a happy one. I kissed the top of Cedar head and asked if she had eaten yet. She responded with no. I stepped in the kitchen and began cooking something for dinner. I have only had one close friend. She never left my side when we were younger. My friend always told me that things would get better that the sun was just around the corner. I will never forget the day Marik got rid of her because she was giving me too much hope and freedom. I still don't know what happened to her. All I know is that she was gone the next day and her parents never found her. All that was left of her was her dueling cards and one of her favorite hoodies.

"Her you go, Cedar," I placed a plate in front of her. She smiled and thanked me and started to eat. I put a portion of food on my plate and ate along with her. After we finished, Cedar and I got ready for bed. She told me she would be in my room in the morning to wake me up for school. We said our goodnight and I closed the door to my room. Tomorrow, I had to begin my mission. I had to build trust with the Mr. Seto Kiba.
