Chapter 4: What?
Serenity turned round and glared at Yami Marik, in his own body and every ounce of hatred that she felt towards him was revealed in her eyes. Yami Marik chuckled and waved away her glare, he laughed at the vital piece of information he had acquired that was sure to make her hand over the Millennium Pendant.
"So hows my Hikari?" Yami Marik inquired almost innocently but that was ruined with an evil toothy grin. Serenity growled and went to punch him but he caught her fist in his hand before it could make contact with his face. He smirked and clutched the other fist and lifted her off her feet, causing a painful strain on her shoulders.
"In deep pain and shit because of you, ass hole!" Serenity retorted and Marik let out a chuckle and left little space between his face and hers. She spat at his face and he made no movement to wipe it off but instead backhanded her, her head snapped left as the sound of the slap bounced of the walls. Serenity glared at Yami Marik defiantly and he took one hand off of her wrist and clamped it around her throat, cutting of her supply of oxygen, Serenity's eyes widened and her free hand went up to her throat and tried in vain to get Yami Marik's tight grip to loosen but to no avail. Her face was now flushed, her lips were tinted blue and her breaths were now coming in short, desperate gasps. Yami Marik grinned and let go of her completely, letting her almost comatose body collapse to the floor, Serenity was taking in air greedily, her lungs now filling up with oxygen again, her face was now returning to its normal colour.
"Not because of me Serenity, because of you" Marik drawled before grabbing Serenity's upper arm and pulling her to her feet, she let out a yelp of surprise and pain and he silenced the yelp with a piece of cloth tied around her mouth. She protested through the cloth but then fell silent when Yami Marik's palm connected with her cheek once again. He tugged her towards the flights of stairs and pushed her up them until they were on the roof of the building. The breeze blew feebly around them making Serenity's short skirt flutter along with Yami Marik's dark purple cape. He pushed her roughly to the floor and her back connected painfully with concrete, she let out a moan of pain and Yami Marik shivered delightfully, enjoying Serenity's pain and how much this would kill his Hikari. Yami Marik neared Serenity slowly and she scrambled to her feet and ran towards the door leading to the flights of stairs, Yami Marik predicted she would do this and grabbed her arm, causing her shoulder to tug painfully and for herself to be forced into his chest. He chuckled and slammed her into the metal gate that prevented one from falling off the roof of the building if one went up onto the roof, she let out a gasp and crystal tears started to form in her emerald eyes. His tongue was now tracing the outline of her jaw and Serenity gasped in shock and disgust, she kicked him and he fell to the ground, groaning in pain, she took this opportunity to run for her life away from him. Unfortunately her window of opportunity was short lived as Yami Marik grabbed her ankle and she let out a scream as Yami Marik straddled her waist before taking out the Millennium Rod, Serenity looked confused as how Yami Marik got to obtain the Rod when it was in Marik's possession when she left him. He bound her ankles and wrists with the Millennium magic, she tried to fight back with her Millennium Pendant but for some reason it wasn't working, she cursed out loud and Yami Marik tutted mockingly.
"Don't swear Serenity it makes you sound so....ugly." He reprimanded tauntingly and she scowled and struggled against the bonds. "Plus you can't use your Millennium Pendant for one special reason, if you want to know think hard about the story that Marik told you."
Serenity thought and quickly ran through the past story of her Egyptian past self before she gasped in realisation.
"The Millennium Pendant is fuelled by mine and Marik's true love," Serenity said to herself and Yami Marik nodded enjoying her pain. " That's why it isn't working now and that's why Kyuuseishu's Pendant was stronger when someone had hurt either her or Marik!"
Yami Marik chuckled and his gaze was focused on Serenity's pouted lips and her breasts that was covered by the flimsy fabric of the button up pink top. Serenity followed Yami Marik's gaze and she tried covered her breasts with her arms and red tinged her cheeks. He smirked and was about unbutton her top when a smooth feminine voice scolded Yami Marik.
"That's quite enough Yami Marik!" Ishizu warned and Yami Marik looked up and smirked at his Hikari's sister who was glaring at him angrily. "Leave Serenity alone!"
"Or what dear sister?" Yami Marik mocked and Ishizu scowled at him and took a glance at Serenity, Serenity's eyes saying 'get out of here!', Ishizu shook her head and put a hand to her Millennium Necklace. A beam of light shot out and Yami Marik flew off of Serenity and the bonds disappeared, Serenity got up quickly and grabbed Ishizu's arm and dragged her towards the stairs. Serenity opened the door hastily and shoved Ishizu through it before looking back at Yami Marik fearfully.
"Ishizu tell Marik I love him." Serenity pleaded and then she gave Ishizu a hug before giving her a light push. "Now go!"
Serenity shut the door and locked it before Ishizu could protest, she then turned round to see Yami Marik glaring at her, she regretted her actions but if it was going to keep Ishizu,Marik and all of her friends, even Bakura, safe then she would happily give up her life. Yami Marik grabbed her wrist tightly,Serenity screamed out in pain and fright, and dragged her to the other side of the roof and tied her up once again before using shadow magic to bring out the tools for her torture.
(Ishizu's POV)
'Oh no!' I thought as I heard Serenity's scream, I gasped as I used my Millennium Necklace to see what was happening. 'I must go get Marik!'
I ran down the stairs, my raven hair dancing around my face and my dress swooshing around my tan legs. I finally got to the exit to the school and tried to remember the quickest way to the Game Shop. I went to the zebra crossing and didn't notice that the lights were on green, all I heard was a scream from my lips and a car screeching, I looked up fearfully to see …... Tea.
"Oh my god, Ishizu are you alright?" Tea asked worriedly and I nodded and quickly came up with a plan.
"Tea, are you going to see the Pharaoh?" I asked and Tea nodded and motioned for me to get into the car, I hated these metal monsters but if was going to save Serenity and my brother then I would have to suck it up as Joey would say. I fastened my seatbelt and Tea sped off, 5 minutes later and Tea listening to what had happened before, we arrived at the Pharaohs. Tea didn't bother knocking and she ran straight into the living room behind me, the Pharaoh looked up in surprise to see Tea and I there, looking flustered. He could tell something was wrong and he gestured for us to sit on the couch, he offered some tea but we politely refused. He sat down and looked at us seriously.
"Pharaoh, do you know the whereabouts of my brother?" I asked getting straight to the point and the Pharaoh nodded looking at the upstairs bedroom above us.
"Why yes he's upstairs, quite upset after what happened yesterday with Serenity, we where searching all night for her but came up with nothing, even stranger is that Yami Marik just stopped taking control of Ryou's body for some reason." The Pharaoh remembered and Tea and I gasped, I told him about what had happened before and The Pharaoh paled considerably.
"Holy Ra! Marik get your lazy ass down here now, it's about Serenity." The Pharaoh shouted and I heard a 'What!' before a thump and then hurried steps pounding on the stairs. Marik rushed into the living room to find me sitting on the couch, he looked at me with shock and then ran over and hugged me tightly, tears streaming down his face. I comforted him until he was able to talk coherently and he wiped away the tears with his clenched hand and I sat him down before sitting in front of him.
"Marik, Serenity needs your help." I told him and he stared at me intently before getting up and getting ready to save her.
"What! Where is she Ishizu!" Marik asked and I told him, Tea offered him a ride to the school and he gladly accepted, he was about to leave when Bakura walked in with an almost comatose Ryou, I took Ryou off of him and sat him down on the couch, Bakura looked confused.
"No talking just get the hell into Tea's car now!" Marik yelled before shoving Bakura out, Yami, Yugi and I chuckled before attending to Ryou's daily check up.
(Serenity's POV)
Marik. That one word was constantly on my mind. I didn't feel the pain now, I was numb, incomplete and broken, he took the most important thing away from me...... my virginity. I broke down again but that was swiftly silenced by Yami Marik's hand connecting with my cheek, I fell silent while wishing that I had never left Marik yesterday, I tried the mind link but it was weak. I tried again and to my surprise it was a lot stronger now.
// Marik, are you there// I said feebly in my mind link, I felt the other buzz with excitement and hope as his voice rang through.
\\ Serenity?\\ Marik said uncertainly and I laughed out loud before being hit with a whip, I let out a cry of pain and Marik's voice rang through even louder and more worriedly.
// Marik I'm sorry but I did try.// I said before giving up on consciousness, Yami Marik's laugh rang through my head as I slumped against the metal gate.
(Marik's POV)
\\ Marik I'm sorry but I did try\\ Serenity said before shutting off the link, I cursed and told Tea to hurry up.
"Tea hurry the fuck up!" I roared and Bakura hit me around the head while Tea's eyes filled with tears. "Sorry Tea, it's just Serenity's shut off the mind link again."
Tea nodded and pressed her foot down on the pedal, the wind blowing all of our hair ferociously. The car came to a screeching stop just outside of the school, we heard an evil laugh that I knew belonged to my Yami, we all looked up to see my Yami holding Serenity just over the edge of the 6 story building, the roof usually had a metal fence around it but I'm guessing my Yami removed it with my Millennium Rod, he stole it when he was in Ryou's body the bastard. He let go off one of Serenity's wrists and she fell forwards a bit, pulling a cry of shock from all of us.
"Yami Marik leave her alone you bastard Pharaoh fucker!" Bakura yelled and Tea and I stared at him in disgust but he shrugged, behind his back Tea revealed her pink phone that had a recorder on it, a mischevious look on her face. Yami tutted and smirked at Bakura and me, before planting a kiss on Serenity's lips, I growled and went red with anger, Bakura also went red, Serenity was like his little sister, and he cursed at my Yami.
"Oh well, bye Serenity." He said before letting go of her other wrist and she fell through the air like a lifeless doll. "And by the way Bakura and Hikari, Ryou and Serenity were both very good fucks."
I swore and Bakura and I ran forward to catch Serenity, I caught her top half and Bakura caught her bottom half, I looked at her scared face and almost burst with anger at my Yami, Tea gasped and sank to her knees next to her friend. I got them both up and told Tea to start the car, she nodded and ran to her car, jumped into it and started the ignition. I picked up Serenity, her head snuggled into my chest and I sat in the back, while Bakura sat in shotgun. I traced my hand around her face and her face scrunched up as her hands flew to her face.
"Stop please, M-Marik-koi help me." Serenity pleaded and I quickly removed my hand, staring right at her, trying to understand how much my bastard Yami had hurt her. My mind went to what he said to me and Bakura.
'And by the way Bakura, Hikari, Ryou and Serenity were both very good fucks.' I remembered and I clutched my fists as I thought of what he did, Serenity and Ryou had both been raped by that ass hole. Tears stung my violent violet orbs as I stared at the love of my life's comatose body, I didn't even notice that the car had stopped until Bakura shook my shoulder, looking at me sympathetically, it was fuckin scary but ever since he got with Ryou he acted a lot nice, even if he did still call Atem things like 'Donkey-boner-licking-cum-bucket' but you know it's hard to drop old habits. I carried Serenity bridal style into the Game Shop, kicking down the door (In my Yugioh Stories to come no one cares about the door lol ) and laying Serenity next to Ryou on the tiny couch, Yami rushed down the stairs with a …...mop!
"How in the fucking name of Ra is that supposed to hurt anyone baka Pharaoh!" I shouted and Yami stared at the mop before staring at the now broken door and growling at me.
"You do realize that you are paying for a knew fucking door Tomb-keeper!" Yami yelled back and I laughed as I remembered the doors battered state. He just gave me a death look before shouting up to Yugi that it wasn't a burglar but it was just Bakura and I, I took this time to take in Yami's appearance and I grinned when I saw his clothes and hair tussled and his lips a bright red.
"Have a fun time with your Hikari while Bakura and I were looking for Serenity." As I said her name I remembered that Serenity was still on the couch, along with Ryou. I grabbed his lower arm and rushed into the living room, Yami stared at Serenity's abused and beaten body and swore under his breath, Yugi rushed into the living room, saw Serenity and hid his face in Yami's chest.
"Why Yami Why?" Yugi asked why and Yami shook his head numbly, I walked over to Serenity and was staring at her beautiful face when her eyes started to open. I smiled as she opened her eyes to reveal those shimmering emerald orbs, she looked dazed as she sat up but then she remembered what had happened and sank into my chest, her shoulders were shaking with her nerve racking sobs. I stroked her silky hair comfortingly as she soaked my shirt with her tears, I wished I could take away the pain that bastard caused but I knew it would haunt her for some time, my eyes widened as I realized something.
Her Millennium Pendant was gone.
She followed my gaze and as she put her hand to her throat, desperately searching for the Item that she knew was gone, her emerald eyes looked depressed and blank as she gave up and just lay there in my chest.
"We have to tell Joey." I muttered and her head shot up immediately, her brother had moved to America with his wife Mai Valentine after he and Serenity had an argument about our relationship.
(Serenity's POV)
"We have to tell Joey." Marik muttered into my hair and my head shot up immediately, as I remembered what had happened between Joey and I before he moved to America with Mai.
(Flashback)
"Joey I want you out of my house now!" I yelled as I was fuming at Joey again, why can't he just get along with Marik. Marik stood next to me, his busted lip was bleeding profusely and Joey was glaring at Marik, probably wishing he would get ran over by a truck or something.
"What? So your gonna choose him over me ,sis!" Joey accused and I narrowed my eyes and slapped him with the palm of my hand, he put a hand gingerly to his now pinkish cheek and stared at me with shock in his chocolate brown eyes. I stared at my hand in shock before going to say sorry to Joey but he took a step back and shook his head.
"No I get it Ren' you do choose him over me, well have a nice life Ren' with out me." He told me, finality rang clear in his voice before turning around and walking out of my life forever. He slammed the door after him and I quickly tore it open, I ran out and searched down the street, screaming out sorry and Joey at the top of my lungs. The rain pounded down on the road, pavement and my body, my tears had mingled with the rain as I fell to my knees wishing that I could take back the earlier events. Marik came up behind me and I hugged him tightly, I looked up and I thought I saw a flash of blonde hair and brown eyes but the cold rain had finally got to me and I fell into the unconscious.
(Flashback)
I shook my head as I came out of the flashback, just in time to see Marik picking up the phone and dialling Joey's number. I shook my head but he payed no attention, I scowled and got to my feet before running over to the other side and wrestling him over the phone.
"Marik Ra dammit it, give me the fucking phone, Joey doesn't want anything to do with me!" I shouted at him and he glared at me and refused to let go of the phone.
"Yes he does Serenity, for the love of Anubis why can't you see that!" Marik yelled back and I had tears streaming down my face as I didn't want to face Joey or my demons.
"Maybe because he left me to go to fucking America, and then I get fucking raped by your Yami!" I screamed and then my eyes widened as I realized what I had said, I heard a very clear 'What!' coming from the phone as I fell to my knees, my head bent downwards and my hairs covering my eyes. Marik stared at me and then the phone but jumped into action when he heard Joey's furious voice through the phone.
"Listen Joey, yes I know your gonna castrate me but listen, Joey I mean it, Shut the fucking Ra up!" Marik yelled down the phone losing him temper, his tan face now red with fury at my elder sibling. I heard Joey quiet down and then Marik went into the kitchen while Yami,Yugi,Bakura,Tea and Ryou, who all stayed back during the fight, came forwards warily to comfort me. I heard the door open and I saw Marik put the phone down on it's stand, after about two hours of sitting in a big huddle on the floor, Marik turned and told the others he was taking me home. They nodded and I stood up ,numb from tiredness and shock, and followed Marik out of the Game Shop and onto his motorbike. I put on my hot pink helmet and my black leather biker jacket, Marik put on his old red helmet but didn't put on his biker jacket, I hopped onto it and Marik mirrored my actions. My arms instinctively locked around his waist and he revved the motorbike and then sped off down the road, the sun that was now setting, tinting the blue sky with a pinkish hue, shone into our eyes. Marik and I were riding over the bridge when suddenly an explosion came up in front of us, Marik stayed on the bike but the impact my that my small body had flown of off the bike. I smashed into the tarmac, possibly breaking a few bones, before looking up to see....... Yami Marik. I gasped and tried to crawl away but he put a foot on my stomach to stop me, he then swiftly took it off but in the same movement kicked me in the stomach with his other foot. I bent over double and gasped for breath, he grabbed the dip of my shirt and lifted me up, at least a foot above the floor, his face came right up to mine. His usual smirk was now contorted into a snarl, his canines showing viciously.
"What have you done to it!" he demanded and I stared at him, wondering what he was talking about, he raised a hand and backhanded me, my face snapped left. Marik growled and tried to get up but was thrown back down by the power of the Millennium Rod, I spat at Yami Marik. He snarled and lifted me over the edge of the bridge, the river splashing vigorously below, I had never learned how to swim properly so I would have no chance against the furious waters below. Yami Marik grinned and was about to drop me into the liquid below when an angry and pleading voice, with the slightest tinge of a brooklyn accent, filled the air.
"Put. Serenity. Down." Joey demanded, moving forward with each word, Marik standing next to him, Yami Marik grinned before looking at me and shrugging.
"Ok." That one word rang out before he let go of my top and I felt the world rush past me, my hand reached out desperately and I caught a hold of something ice cold, I looked at the object to see it was the Millennium Items.
'I must have grabbed them out of his back pocket!' I thought triumphantly, now I realized that I had made contact with the freezing water, and as I gasped for breath, water filled my nose and lungs. My eyes widened as I desperately tried to swim to the surface, I almost made it when my foot got stuck on something on the river bed. I tried to untangle my foot but I was running out of air fast, my eyelids felt heavy as I sank to the bottom of the river. I saw two silhouettes jump into the river and two splashes either side of me, I felt two arms grab each of my arms and the others untangling my foot from the object preventing me from escaping. I felt my leg being released and I was pushed up to the surface, spluttering like crazy, trying to get the salty water out of my lungs. A sandy haired tan appeared next to me along with a blonde knuckle head. I grinned and hugged the both of them after we escaped out of the river. They laughed and hugged me back, I remembered that I had our Millennium Items that I stored safely in my jacket pocket before I fell into the river, I passed him the Millennium Rod, enjoying the priceless look on his face. He looked at the item shocked before putting it down and hugging me tightly, forcing all of the air in my lungs to disappear. He kissed my cheek before whispering in my ear, his wet sandy hair tickling my cheek.
"Thanks Mitsukai(1)." he thanked, using my nickname from high school, I kissed him but we were separated by a blonde who I am going to kill.
"Ren' look I'm sorry about what ha-." He began but I just hugged him to death, he wrapped his arms around me and I snuggled into his chest.
"It's ok onee-chan." I told him and he stood up before lifting out a hand to help me up, I took it and was lifted to my feet. Marik also got up and we walked up the stairs before the sun shined brightly in our eyes. We saw Mai there in her purple car, she smiled when she saw Marik,Joey and I, but it quickly turned into a scowl when she saw we were sopping wet. Joey laughed and hopped into the front passenger seat before shaking his head like a dog, Mai let out a lot of painfully high shrieks, telling Joey to stop it or he can walk to the Shop, Joey immediately ceased shaking his head and just looked out the window. I laughed and got on the motorbike with Marik, I'm surprised it survived the crash and explosion but oh well, Marik would cry if it died. As we rode of to our house, we heard Joey say almost seriously.
"If you kiss ma' sister in front of me again, I will castrate you Marik!"
I laughed as Marik paled considerably.
'Oh well now I have my brother, boyfriend and friends to help me.' I thought as we rode of into the sunset.
'Hopefully Yami Marik will stay away.'
'But I know he wont.'
Read and Review PEOPLE! and i'll give you ben and jerrys. ;)
Mitsukai: Angel, serenitys nickname from when she and Marik got together in highschool, he said she was his 'Tokubetsu na Mitsukai' which translates into Special Angel in japanese.
