The Eye of Horus
Neferi: I'm back with another chappie!
Tara: Let's see if we fly to Egypt.
Neferi: disclaimer: I don't own YGO but I do own the Horus Items.
Chapter ten: Marik
Tara was cleaning the house when her father entered.
"He let me go! That boy let me go!" he exclaimed "He let you go too!".
Tara smiled "I know, I convinced him to do so".
"You did? Thank you Tara! Now I'll call the police so he can be arrested!" said her father walking over to the phone.
"Don't!" exclaimed Tara with narrowed eyes "Don't do that father please".
"Why not? He had us kidnapped" replied her father looking at her.
"Yes but he let us go free now, don't call the police, he's such a nice young man now" said Tara softly, trying to convince her father.
"You're right, but if he appears here again I will call the police" agreed her father.
Tara sighed in relief and then kept on cleaning.
"Father, I have something to tell you" she said later.
"What?" he asked as he read the paper and Tara cleaned the table.
"I'm going to Egypt for a while" she answered.
"Do as you wish, I don't care" he replied as he kept on reading.
When Tara finished cleaning the first floor of the house she went straight to get a bath. Then she dressed up and went to do her bags.
"I've got my clothes, personal belongings, my keys…" she murmured as she checked everything "What am I missing…? Ah yes, my amulet.".
She opened a drawer and took out a golden amulet she had of the eye of Horus. The tales of Osiris said that Horus lost an eye when he fought against Seth in revenge of his father's assassination. That eye was made into an amulet.
Tara put it away on her suitcase and then reviewed to see if she had everything. The girl determined she did and so sat down to look out the window. Just then her cell phone rang.
"Hello?" she answered it.
"Evening my dear" replied Marik's voice "What are you doing?".
"I'm currently speaking with you and staring out the window" answered Tara smiling "Why?".
"Would you come out with me?" he asked.
"Sure, when?" asked Tara.
"In fifteen minutes" answered Marik.
Tara looked at the clock. It was 6 o'clock and the plane left at 9:30.
"Okay but I have to be here before 8:30" agreed Tara.
"Why not later?" asked Marik.
"Because I have something to do" answered Tara "Is it okay?".
"Sure, I'll be there soon" replied Marik.
Both of them hung up and Tara looked at herself in the mirror. She wore a jean mini-skirt, a red tank top and black boots that rose a little bit above her ankles. She shrugged, deciding she looked good, grabbed her jean jacket and went downstairs.
"I'm going out father" she announced.
"Aren't you going to Egypt?" asked her father, still reading the paper.
"Yes I am but it will be in a few more hours" answered Tara.
"You got your keys right? I'm going out for a while later, I won't be home until midnight" he stated.
"You won't say goodbye to me in the airport?" asked Tara.
"Sorry kid" replied her father.
"I see…" said Tara looking at her father "I'll see you later papa, I hope you have a good time and I'll call when I'm in Egypt, okay?".
"Sure, do as you wish" stated her father "Goodbye".
Tara turned around and walked out of the house. As she approached the sidewalk Marik parked his motorcycle before her.
"You look nice as always" he smiled after he had taken his helmet off.
"Thanks" smiled Tara.
Marik greeted her with a very fervent kiss. When he parted he smirked. Tara observed his clothes. He was dressed completely in black, black pants and sleeveless black shirt. He had a black leather jacket on.
"Were are you taking me?" asked Tara as she hopped on behind him and put her helmet on.
"Here and there" he said.
"Come on Marik, answer me" said Tara softly.
"I'm taking you out to dinner and then around" he said "Simple".
"Sounds nice" she replied as she put her arms around his waist.
Then Marik rode off. He took her to dinner to her favorite restaurant, Spring Garden. There they chatted animatedly and ate. When they were finished Marik decided to ride around Domino for a while with Tara.
"I have a better idea, why don't you take me to Domino port?" suggested Tara "I like the port, it's pretty at night".
"I'll take you there then" agreed Marik.
The Spring Garden was not far from the port so they didn't have to ride that much, only a few minutes. As Marik dismounted his motorcycle Tara looked around the port. A few couples walked around holding hands or chatting animatedly.
"Ok, let's go" said Marik taking her hand.
Both walked around and then stopped to look at the ocean.
"Marik how long have you been here?" asked Tara as she looked at the ocean while leaning against the balustrade.
"Around a year or so" answered Marik as he leaned back against the balustrade next to Tara.
Tara simply nodded and turned her gaze over to the sky, to look at the stars.
"For any case do you think I can become friends with Yugi and the others?" asked Marik suddenly.
"Sure, though it might take a little while" answered Tara smiling "It would make things easier for me".
Marik chuckled "So you haven't told Yugi, have you?".
"Nope, if I had then I'd in a giant problem with Yami, not to mention with Yugi and the others" replied Tara "But I'll tell Yugi soon".
Marik took one of Tara's hands and squeezed it gently.
"It would be interesting seeing their reactions" he said.
"But you won't be there because Yami might strangle you" stated Tara.
Marik chuckled again. Then he pulled Tara over to him and gave her a hug. Tara rested her head on his upper chest and sighed.
"What is it?" asked Marik softly.
"Oh nothing" said Tara.
After he kissed her forehead lightly he leaned down and kissed her. Tara wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. He caressed her cheek while he kissed her as couples passed by holding hands and others shared a kiss like they were doing.
"I'll take you home now" murmured Marik after he had parted.
Tara nodded and followed him over to the motorcycle. They hopped on and Marik rode over to her house. In 30 minutes, making it exactly 8:30, they were there.
"I leave you here my dear" he smiled after she had dismounted the motorcycle.
Tara nodded and gave him a swift kiss on the lips.
"When can I see you again?" asked Marik looking at her.
"Oh Marik I have to travel to Egypt for a few weeks so it will be long…" she answered gently.
"I see…" replied Marik "Well you'll call me when you're back?".
Tara nodded smiling.
"I have to go now" she said.
"Alright, have a nice trip, love" he smiled.
He gave her one last kiss and then said "Call me when you're there to know you're alright".
"I will" she promised "Bye!".
She waved at him and entered her house. Her father was not there. So she decided to call a cab and then Yugi.
"Come here now Yugi, the cab will take us to the airport" she told him on the phone.
"Why so early?" asked Yugi "It's only 8:45".
"There's always an accident or something near the airport, better take precautions" answered Tara as she moved her bags downstairs.
Yugi agreed and then both hung up. A few minutes later Yami was sitting on the couch with Tara beside him.
"It's 8: 55 and the cab's not here" murmured Tara looking at her watch.
Then a knock was heard on the door.
"It's the cab" said Tara opening the door.
With the help of the man both teenagers put their bags in the car.
"Where to miss?" asked the man.
"Domino airport if you may" answered Tara as she fastened her seatbelt.
The car drove off to the said place. Just then her cell phone rang.
"I wonder who it is…?" said Tara as she took it out "Hello?".
"Where do you think you're going love?" asked a very cold voice.
"Who are you?" asked Tara.
That caught Yami's attention and he snapped his head to look at her.
"Who am I? Why, I am your boyfriend" he answered.
"You're not my Marik" replied Tara narrowed eyed "He doesn't speak like that".
"I am Marik, at least his Yami" answered himself.
"What do you want?" asked Tara, concerned for Marik.
"I want you and the Horus Items" answered Yami Marik.
"Don't think I'm going to let you take them, and neither me" countered Tara.
Yami Marik chuckled evilly "I am going to get both things love, sooner than you think".
"No you won't" stated Tara firmly "Now what have you done with my Marik?".
"I've taken over his body and trapped him in his Soul Room" answered the evil yami "And he won't get out from there because he knows I will give him a very severe punishment if he does".
"Let him out!" exclaimed Tara.
"Calm down love, why would you want him when you can have me?" asked Yami Marik smirking.
"Because I know he's not going to feed me to the Shadows when I'm with him, now let him go!" ordered Tara.
Yami Marik chuckled again "You're so naïve. Well then, if you want him back you will give me the Items".
"Never!" countered Tara.
"Well then keep in mind that I will follow you everywhere until you do" replied Yami Marik "Goodbye love and have a good time with the Pharaoh while you can".
And then he hung up. Tara hung up and buried her face in her hands.
'This can't be happening' she thought in anguish.
"Tara start explaining" said Yami gently.
Tara sighed and looked at him "Marik is my boyfriend and now he's being controlled by his sadistic Yami and it's trying to get the Items".
"Marik is your what!?!?!" exclaimed Yami narrowed-eyed "Tara how could you get involved with him?!?!".
"He became good when I was with him and we fell in love!" replied Tara "Yami please calm down".
"Tara do you have any idea of what that means?!" replied Yami taking her by the shoulders.
"That doesn't matter now Yami, we need to get rid of Yami Marik, he's following us!!" replied Tara pushing Yami away gently.
"How do you know he is?" asked Yami, now more clamed.
"He told me to have fun with you while I could, so that means he's following" answered Tara.
"I'll forget about you and Marik for now but we'll have a long talk about it later" he said seriously.
Tara sweat dropped and murmured "Alright".
Jus then they heard a motorcycle behind the car they were in. Tara looked back and saw that Yami Marik was there!
"Oh no! And we're just arriving at the airport, he'll catch us while we take our bags out of the car!" said Tara desperately "Now what do we do?".
Neferi: End of chappie!
Tara: Cliffie! Review and keep reading to know what happens!
