DARK HIGHWAY
Chapter 7/glass
I'm going to hell for this… Akane thought as she was getting on Marik's motorbike. He had taught her to how to ride it a while back.
The engine roared.
It was being taken away from him. The one he truly loved, cared about and would do anything to keep safe, even if it meant death to him. The love of his life was being taken away from him.
"MY MOTORBIKE!" Marik shot up as soon as he heard the engine. He turned his head to the empty side of the bed – the other love of his life was, in fact, gone too.
"MY GIRLFRIEND!"
He grabbed his red robe and ran to the door only to see that his suspicions were right – he saw Akane driving off with his motorbike. I highly doubt she's just going for a ride or is stealing my bike. What has gotten into that girl… He went back in the apartment. Ever since she came back I knew she was up to something. He sat down on the sofa, and glanced at the Christmas tree, that was illuminated by colorful Christmas lights. But doesn't she trust me enough to tell me? He looked to the ground and rested his head on his hand. This Christmas sucks.
Now I get it why Marik loves this motorbike so much… This is really fun. she thought, while driving to Kaiba Corp. Aka left the motorbike in the parking lot and went straight up to the doors. She knew the Kaibas not only worked here, but lived here too. So Aka started knocking on the glass door.
The security guard showed up quickly. "What in the name of- Oh! Miss Naomi?" she heard a familiar voice.
"Hey, the same guy!.. Listen, man, I really want to know your name, because I'm tired of calling you "the attention duelists guy"…" she said.
"Oh… Name's Roland. How can I help you, miss Naomi?"
"Well you could start by letting me inside…" Aka said.
He hesitated for a bit, but opened the glass doors for her. "What happened? It's almost three in the morning, miss…"
"I know… I need Seto Kaiba."
"Whaaat?!" he freaked out, "Mister Kaiba will be furious if I wake him up at this hour!"
"Roland, it's an emergency. I need him, and I need him NOW."
He again hesitated, but nodded and went upstairs. Aka soon heard Seto's voice, yelling at Roland, obviously for waking him up at this hour, so she made her way up the stairs too.
"You sure look interesting in PJs." she said, looking at the very annoyed Seto.
"What the hell do you want?! Waking me up at this hour?! Roland said it was some emergency, so what the f*ck did you do, blow up a bank or something?!" he yelled.
"I need a flight to Egypt. Now." she simply stated.
"WHAT?!" her answer pissed Seto off even more.
"Look, Kaiba, we all know you hate owing someone a favor, and you still owe me one for saving your little brother back at your tournament! " Aka raised her voice as well. She didn't like Kaiba at all. Nobody did, he was a mean rich bastard.
Her words made Seto shut up for a bit. Oh, how he hates owing someone… And that favor was Aka's ticket to Egypt.
"I-..Bu-…GAH. Fine! Roland, get my jet pilot to fly this annoying geek to freaking Egypt! Now get the hell out of my room, both of you!" he yelled, going back to bed and making Aka smirk. Success.
As they left, Aka asked Roland: "Is there a way I can get a motorbike on the jet?"
"Sure! Even a car, if you like!"
Sweet. I'll even have transport there.
Ishizu was seated on the sofa in Marik's and Aka's apartment. Odion brought her tea as Marik kept asking her questions, as if they were in a police office.
"Ishizu, I do not care what she asked you to hide from me; you tell me whatever she said NOW."
"No, Marik. You can give up on me answering your questions; I promised her that I would keep this a secret. She didn't want to cause you any trouble and she promised me she would be careful." she tried to calm him down.
"Well I'm pretty sure she will break that promise knowing how clumsy and naïve Akane is!" Marik sat down beside her and sighed. "Please, Ishizu, tell me where she went…"
But instead, Odion spoke up: "Brother, I think you are being overprotective of miss Akane. Maybe she just needs some time alone. It was obvious that she does not want to be followed; you might want to give her some space for now."
Marik stared at him. He wasn't used to Odion speaking his opinion out loud. Not because of the whole "Master Marik" thing, but because Odion was a quiet person.
"Those were the words of wisdom, Marik, and you should listen to them. You should give both her AND Bakura a chance, he may not be that-"
"Bakura?" Marik started at her.
"Y-yes...? Oh wait no, Marik, don't-!"
She was too late. He stormed out of the room to the bedroom in the speed of lightning, grabbed his own bag and ran out the door.
"Why won't he ever listen…" Ishizu said, hearing Odion sigh as well.
But soon Marik was back. "I uh… Need a lift to the airport…"
Ishizu shook her head. "Marik, I am not taking you anywhere. You have to calm down and let Akane handle things on her own sometimes!"
"I CAN'T. I don't want her in any more pain because of the whole ancient magic that I introduced her to in the first place! I don't want her hurt, I don't want her in trouble, and I don't want her to be in any kind of harm because I couldn't protect her! It's MY responsibility to keep her safe after what I made her go through! She's done way more for me than I've done for her; I HAVE to go back to Egypt and get Akane out of whatever she's gotten herself into! I'll f*cking WALK THERE if I have to!"
Ishizu only started at him. She's never seen so much fury, pain and care, all mixed up at the same time in his eyes before. She sighed. "As long as we can come with you and you don't overreact when you find her AND let her finish whatever she was doing. WITHOUT you interfering."
"Thank you…" Marik whispered, following Ishizu and Odion to her car.
AN: review for very weird time skips?! :'D I honestly have no idea how the time changes with so many flights from Egypt and back. It's just approximate, I doubt anyone cares much!...
Review?
Oh and there won't be an update tomorrow! It's my bff's birthday, we are making her a rainbow party and there will be lots of rainbow food to bake, so I'll be a busy bee :D wish me luck with the rainbow cake!
&&thanks to TheAverIn for the red robe ideas! I didn't even think of it being a gift for Marik in the first place, really! C:
