So in chapter 4 I finally bring in Nikki! Also Malik keeps his promise of showing his brother cares. but what'll happen later??


End of Chapter 3

I didn't reply to Malik at all until we were back in front of Bakura's house. I saw several other cars parked on the side of the road. I'm guessing we're few minutes late for the party. "Malik, I'm not sure…I don't think I'm your brothers type."

Malik laughed, "Alright, I'll prove it to you. Hey will you be my designated driver? I may not stay sober. But I promise I'll prove you're Marik's type before I'm drunk." Malik said as we walked inside. I couldn't but help to smile. He's kind of funny.


"Aaliyah!" Bakura was right next to me as soon as we walked in. How did he get through the crowd of people that fast?

"Don't worry she was with me Bakura. Hey where's Mai?" Malik asked noticing Mai wasn't with Bakura. Of course Bakura looked down and that gave Malik his answer. "I'll talk to her." Malik said then he disappeared into the crowd.

"Can we please get wasted?" Bakura asked looking at me. I'm completely straight edge, I rolled my eyes at my best friend.

"Considering we have school tomorrow, no thanks but you go right ahead. I have your back in case you do something stupid. I'm going to find the other sober people." I said, obviously Bakura wasn't going to let me be alone. We walked into his bed room to find everyone he hated.

"Ally sweetie." Mai jumped up and hugged me, more like tried to crush me. Mai completely ignored Bakura, she quickly pulled me down to the ground to sit next to her. On the other side of me was Yami. Malik, Yugi, Tea, and Ryou were also in the room. "Honey we were just talking about you." Mai smiled as she pushed me to be closer to Yami. I looked at Malik and he smiled.

"Aaliyah how come we never see you at school?" Tea asked, I shivered, I hated the sound of her voice. It was so annoying.

"She's usually hanging out with me. Most of the time we leave at lunch to go to her dad's office." Bakura answered I turned around to see him sitting behind me. He put a hand on my shoulder and squeezed a bit hard.

"Oh! Uhm yeah uh huh we leave at lunch. But uh if Mai goes back to school…" I started to say but Bakura squeezed a bit tighter. "If Mai goes back we'll be around more, or we might just take her with us. My dad's office is very interesting. Always learn something or someone new. Like that cute French girl, Bakura what was her name? You took her out and hung out with her so I'd imagine you'd remember." I almost wanted to die of laughter. Bakura let go of my shoulder, and I noticed Mai give him a very dirty look. That should keep her attention on him.

"Are you trying to get me killed?" Bakura whispered in my ear, I smiled.

"Yeah set me up with Yami and that's your punishment. How dare you get Mai to do you dirty work." I whispered back. Then I turned to look at everyone else, "So I'm going to go find Amane. It's her party might as well say hi." I said quickly standing up and walking out.


I quickly ran into Amane's bedroom before Bakura could follow me. But then again Mai wasn't going to let him out of her sight now. "What the…" I said as I saw a couple making out, it made me sick. There're not even a couple. Once they realized I was in the room they stopped and I recognized the two. One was Seto Kaiba, and the other I hate more than words can express. Kaiba left the room after he realized it was me standing in here. The girl on the other hand simply stood up and rearranged her skirt and shirt. She was the same age as me, even worse she looked exactly like me. Her hair was black like mine except she always had it down and I always had a pony tail. Her eyes on the other hand were a breathtaking light blue color like the sky and mine were a light gray like clear water. She was extremely gorgeous, and everyone loved her looks. The sad thing about her beauty was like any other story, she was beautiful but also had the nasty attitude that came with it. I should know best, since she is my cousin. She had every guy that met her eating out of the palm of her hand. Sometimes I hate just looking at her, I'm told we look alike. I don't think so, I'm not that pretty. "Hello Aaliyah." Nikki said, "Isn't it just like you to ruin things?" She folded her arms and glared at me.

"Oh go be a slut somewhere else please." I said moving aside so that she could get through the door. She didn't say another word but simply gave me the middle finger as she walked by. I groaned as I went to go sit on the bed. I hope she doesn't try to sleep with every guy here.

"You look stressed." I looked up to see Yami had walked in. I must've been spacing to not notice him walking in. "Want to talk about it?" He asked as he sat next to me.

I wonder why the hell he even came in here. Better yet how the hell did he know I was in here. "No I'm fine. Having fun?" I asked.

"Yeah I guess you could say that. But I think Yugi and I are going to leave soon."

"Aw, well as long as you had fun that's all that matters." I smiled.

"Yeah, so tomorrow do you think you might be able to get away from your friends and hang out with me?"

Great, "I'll try. Oh hey speaking of friends, I have to go friend Bakura. So I'll see you tomorrow." I said as I got up and walked out the room. Yuck, I'd rather pass.


I walked into the living room and of course found my cousin sitting on the couch making out with Tristan. I wanted to laugh so bad at Tristan but Malik popped up again out of nowhere and scared the hell out of me. "Whoa! Give someone a warning!" I yelled at him, he really needs to announce when he's going to pop up.

"Sorry." Malik smiled, he must really love doing that. "You're not much of a party girl are you?" He asked. I shook my head no. In fact if I didn't have to drive him home, I'd be at home. "Good, help me out will you? I can't see straight." Malik put his arm around my shoulders. I lead the way back to Amane's room. Once inside we both fell on the floor. For some reason I thought it was funny so I laughed. But Malik wasn't laughing with me he only gave me a weird look.

"What?" I asked as I stopped laughing and started giggling. I couldn't stop, I have no idea what's so funny but hey it's funny. "You don't like my laugh or something?"

Malik laid on his back, "No actually I really like your laugh. I can see why Bakura likes hanging out with you so much. Your laugh is kind of cute."

"Not as cute as your smile." I blurted out, where the hell did that come from? "You have an amazing smile Malik. What's your secret? Dentist making house calls?" I asked.

Malik laughed at my joke, hey I can make someone laugh other besides Bakura. That's a first for me. "You're silly Aaliyah, but I like that. Actually I like you."

I smiled, "I like you too Malik, but don't tell me your already drunk."

"Yeah, I'm a lightweight. So from now on until whenever it's your job to help me. Unless you have a problem with that." He moved and used my leg as a pillow. "You're a comfy pillow Aaliyah." I didn't feel the least bit awkward with Malik this close to me. I smiled as I ran my fingers through his hair. Whoa, it's like silk, just so soft and smooth. I twisted his hair between my fingers and they just slipped right through. I could feel Malik laughing, his throat was right on my leg. "I love being a dog. If you promise to do this all the time, you can put a collar on me and call me your puppy." I was going to stop but he grabbed my hand and sat up. "Stay still." He whispered moving closer to my face. Now I felt uncomfortable. I tried to move away but he only moved closer, so I just sat still until he was only a couple of inches away from my face. "I promised I'd prove to you that you're my brothers type. Don't act surprised or afraid trust me. Ready for your first acting scene?" What the hell is he talking about? "You don't have much time, 3, 2, 1." Not a second later Bakura and Malik both walked in the room. Malik slowly pulled away from my face and turned to face his brother. "Hey about time." Malik said.

"Aaliyah?" Bakura asked looking beyond confused at me and Malik.

"We thought you were with Yami." Marik spoke for Bakura. "See told you she was safe Bakura, you're paranoid."

Malik quickly stood up and helped me up, for a drunk person he sure as hell as great balance. "Bakura were you worried?" I asked turning to face him.

Bakura ignored my question, "Now that I found you. Thank a whole lot for your earlier comment. I couldn't get away from Mai. I had to get Marik to help."

"Well now that my job is done, time for you keep your deal." Malik said handing me his keys. "Come on I want a few more drinks before we leave."

"I thought you were a lightweight?" I asked.

Marik laughed, I love his laugh, "Malik is not a lightweight."

"Come on Aaliyah before all the good drinks are gone." Malik said as he grabbed my hand and ran out the room. How strange.


I opened my eyes, It was so dark I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. But I was laying on something soft, very soft. Where am I? Was I still at the party? Nothing came to mind of me leaving, so I must be. I felt a hand touch mine, but I wasn't scared or the tiniest bit nervous. I sat up still holding onto the hand that found mine. I could feel someone's warm breath on the side of my neck. "Aaliyah." I shivered, it was Marik. But where were we? Part of me didn't want to know the answer.

"Yeah?" I answered and waited for him to say something else. Instead he kissed me on my neck. I couldn't help but to smile as he continued to kiss from my neck up to my lower ear.

"Stay with me tonight." My heart beat picked up speed as he whispered in my ear. "Stay with me tonight, please." I couldn't speak, why does he always make me feel like this? Why do I like it so much? I don't think I had to answer with words. I felt his lips press against mine and I think that was enough of an answer as I allowed him to deepen the kiss. I wish this could last forever. I wish this is how things could be. But I know this is only just a dream. But even so, I wish this dream could be reality.So!
