So, I decided to post another chapter really fast, since someone said my last one was too short *cough*Stephanie*cough*. Anyway, I tried several times to post some links to pictures I've drawn from this story, but something's wrong with my computer or this website, because it simply refuses to post them! I'll figure out some way to let you all see them if you want... (Oh, and as a side note, this chapter is kinda PG-13, so watch out if you don't like stuff like that ^_^).
11. The Truth Has A Price~
Kinou was back on the motorcycle with Yami Marik and Kaiba was still hanging off of his helicopter, yelling at her to reach for him. She tried to stretch out her arm, but Yami Marik used his arm to block hers and hit a button on his motorcycle, which made them speed away from Kaiba. She could hear Kaiba's curses as they put more distance between them and his helicopter and saw him climb up the ladder; the helicopter turned around a stopped chasing them seconds later. Yami Marik gave a triumphant "Ha!" under his breath and slowed the bike down. They arrived minutes later at the house again, where the Rare Hunters were waiting for them. Kinou knew she couldn't fight them off, so she walked calmly into the house and up to her room with the Rare Hunters surrounding her. She looked around and saw Kantugo to her left and raised her eyebrows at him; he nodded ever so slightly, but he did nothing more.
Yami Marik stayed in her room after the Rare Hunters left, and Kinou sat on her bed, not looking at him, anger pulsing through her like poison.
"I will tell you why you are here if you listen and look up at me," he said after a short while in the distorted voice Kinou had grown to fear.
Kinou slowly raised her head and glared at him, but he shot his evil smile back at her, the Millennium Eye shining brightly from his forehead. "Good girl," he said, as though talking to a dog. "Now, you probably want to know what this power is that everyone has been talking about, don't you?" Taking her silence as a "yes", he went on. "When you were in your world, you had an extremely rare type of cell within your body called a reinoty virus. It mutated cells around it and spread its type of fluids eventually to your whole body. The fluids are not harmful, of course; otherwise you'd be dead by now. Kaiba knew this type of virus would become something more powerful when you were transformed, so he planned to bring you here to study you, find out what made you tick, possibly use you for some technological purpose—"
"Okay, cut the background crap. What is the power thing inside me already?" Kinou cut in angrily, growing impatient.
"--Which was what I was about to say: your power is telekinesis; the trouble is, you know not how to use it, whereas I do."
Kinou was completely stunned. Telekinesis? BS! "How do I make it work, then?" she asked him skeptically.
"You will need a lot of training, but I will tell you the basics... if you want to learn," he said, folding his arms and looking intently at her.
"Of course I do!" she said defensively. "Tell me!"
"Why don't we have some fun and try it out, since you're so eager?" Yami Marik said, smirking.
This awoke mixed feelings in Kinou, but she nodded all the same. She wanted to see Marik's plan ruined when he discovered she wasn't telekinetic, but she wanted to see herself perform her unknown talent at the same time.
"First," he began. "You must focus on an object. This should do nicely," he said, picking up a book and placing it on a small table in front of her. "Then you must clear your mind as well as you can, thinking of nothing but moving the object."
Kinou thought hard, thinking and imagining the book lifting into the air; alas, the book refused to move. "It's not working," she complained.
"That is because I have not told you the most important part," he said. "Your hands. Use them to lift it."
Kinou held out her hands, acting like the book was right in front of her, and tried again. The book remained still.
Yami Marik laughed. "You need to hold them with a certain form," he said, walking over to her and sitting behind her on the bed. He reached around her and held her hands in his, spreading her fingers apart and making them straight. "Now, try again," he said, moving her hands for her. She wished he wouldn't: it was making her uncomfortable, but she concentrated again. With a slight twinge in her forehead, the book slid across the table a few inches and she gasped in surprise.
"There, now, that wasn't too hard was it?" asked Yami Marik. "With the proper training, you will be able to do that and much more without effort."
Kinou stared at her hands, amazed. He came out from behind her and sat instead to her side. Kinou looked over at him. "What?"
He reached forward and started toying with her hair, and she felt his hand touch the butterfly Kaiba had placed there; he pulled it off, staring at it, and Kinou shifted nervously. "I had not noticed this before. Is it a gift from Kaiba?"
She opened her mouth, but no noise came out; she couldn't come up with a lie for it.
Yami Marik smirked and said, "Well, I think you look much better without it," and with that, he dropped it on the floor and stamped on it with his foot, breaking it into tiny pieces. Kinou watched in horror, but when he finished, he put his hand under her chin, turning her face towards his. "You know," he said, taking in every inch of her with his eyes. "Even after I get what I want from Yugi Moto, I may just keep you here as my mistress."
These words frightened Kinou; she might never go back home, and she'd be here with Marik for eternity. Her thoughts were wiped blank when he leaned forward and began to kiss her. She tried to pull away, but he put his arm around her back and held her next to him. As he kissed her, he forced her onto the bed; she tried to kick out at him, but he held her legs down with his. He took his arm out from underneath her and held her hands above her head with one of his own. As he looked down at her, he ran his other hand down her side and began to undo her belt. He smiled sickly and leaned over her, the Millennium Eye shining brightly in the darkness, and murmured, "I'll certainly enjoy your stay here."
