Chapter 4: A new friend and an old one

Jaden laughed as she chased Axel around. Both were adjusting quickly. They made friends with Atem, and were often victims to Mariku's and Akefia's jokes. They were currently in town. Gettysburg to be exact. They were with Malik right now and just as Jaden waved goodbye to a dog, she fell. Well, she ran into someone, and both fell. Jaden fell into Axel, the stranger into a mud puddle.

"I'm sorry!" Jaden yelled. She looked at the small bundle of mud. It was a boy. He had light blue hair. His clothes were coated in mud. Another boy ran up to him.

"SYRUS! ZANE!" She yelled. She hugged both getting herself, and Zane covered in mud. Syrus laughed as she did. His brother tried to push her off of him, but she had an iron grip on him and his brother. He gave in and hugged back. He knew what made her happy. Even if it made him unhappy. He looked up and saw another small figure run off. He/she wore a hood, so you couldn't see his/her face. He let go of Jaden and Syrus and quickly joined the men chasing the person.

"Where'd Zane go?" Syrus asked. Malik walked up to them and raised a brow.

"Do I want to know?" He asked. Jaden shook her head and walked in the same direction Zane did. Malik, Axel, and Syrus followed her. They soon caught up with Zane. He put a finger up, silencing them. He jumped up and attacked the culprit.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"Sartorius Takuma." The boy said. He had long bluish purple hair, with a tuft of white at the top. He had amethyst eyes and in his hands was a loaf of bread. Malik glared at it.

"Where'd you get that?" He asked. Sartorius gulped and pointed to the man far away from them. Malik blinked. "You stole it?"

"For good reasons! She's a cruel woman!"

"I don't- wait a minute. Who are you talking about?"

"Miss Gardener…" Malik shuddered. He knew Tea was upset that Yami chose Yugi over her. The woman had issues. Serious issues. Seriously! She dressed like freaking slut. Malik straightened up, and motioned them to follow him.

"Is she home?" He asked.

"No… she went out. That's how I was able to sneak out. She's cruel to everyone, but my sisters and I get hit the worst, she almost killed Serena once." Malik's eyes widened, and he glared at the floor. Soon they arrived at a small orphanage. Two girls ran up to Sartorius. He handed them the bread, and they tore into it. One looked like him, only her hair was darker, closer to black. The other had blue eyes and silver hair. She looked up and coward behind Sartorius. He smiled and gently pushed them towards Malik.

"My sisters. Adopted and biological. Serena Takuma and Aster Phoenix." Both smiled shyly. Jaden noticed Aster seemed to be extremely quiet. Too quiet if you asked her. Tea appeared and scowled at the children. She pointed to the door, and they walked into the house. She turned to Malik and glared at him.

"What do you want?" She hissed. Malik glared back with double the force.

"I'm here for them. And if I hear anything else about you beating kids, I'll have you arrested!" He barked. Tea gasped but walked into the house. She came back pulling all three children's hair and shoved them to the ground. Both Serena and Aster had fresh cuts to their skin and Sartorius had several bruises on his face. Malik growled and slammed the door in her face. He smirked when he heard a cry of pain. He sighed and motioned everyone to follow him. When did he become so nice?

Sakura: Review!

Malik: Answer our question.

Sakura: Okay. You're both brothers, but at the same time you both adopted Mariku. So technically you're both his father. And you're both his uncle as well. Get it?

Marik: Yeah… that was confusing.

Sakura: Good!
