. She went deeper and deeper in, she finally thought she'd gotten away when.
"Why hello, and where are you going exactly?" Marik came out from around a corner. She darted off down another corridor and into a dead end and before she go back Marik was already standing there.
"Must we chase each other round and round?" And he took another step closer. "You should be glad I have you here. You get to live forever without really aging, Its safe, You don't have to deal with other people, and Your treated like a queen."
"I don't care I would rather live back in that castle where no one paid attention me! Even worse I'd live on the streets as long as I'm with Yusei!" Rizu shouted back at him.
"Oh him..." Marik said looking down with despair. "I meant to tell you." "Tell me what!" You could just feel the stress in her voice. "Oh poor little Yusei you were no naïve." Marik said looking up into the air. "I meant to tell you that he was dead!" Rizu collapsed on to the floor back to the empty wall. "No, no! He isn't you lie!"
"Sorry girlie, your little Yusei was found dead in the middle of the desert, Looking for you!" and he started to laugh manically, trying to contain himself Marik continued "A caravan found him dehydrated and actually only a few miles away! His last words were "I Give up." Rizu started to cry while Marik continued to laugh uncontrollably. Rizu stood back up and yelled, "No! He'd never do that! He never gives up! Besides death isn't funny!" "Oh but it is darling! It is." He had a wicked grin across his face and took a step closer to her.
Rizu hopelessly banged on the wall behind her. Right before Marik grabbed her the whole section of wall fell apart into nothingness. Rizu found herself tumbling into black and purple nothingness as Marik just stood there and grinned.
Rizu hit solid floor with a hollow thunk! She thought she'd maybe broken something and kept her eyes shut tightly. Slowly she wiggled every toe and finger and found nothing wrong. She opened her eyes and everything was upside down or it seemed. She thought she was on the ceiling as she looked up and saw stone stair cases and archways above her. She stood up and looked all the way around and it was all stone stair cases, archways, and small platforms.
"So Escher." she thought to herself. Then Marik's wicked laughter bounced off all the walls around her. He was on a stair case right above her. "I can't believe all of done for you!" Rizu looked up but he was right behind her. "Everything you've always wanted I've made come true." She turned and saw him then ran down a platform. Marik jumped off from where he was standing and landed right in front of her.
"None of this I've ever wanted!" She yelled at him. "Oh but it is." And the eye on his fore head shimmered. "You always wanted to go somewhere exotic, Egypt is the place. You wanted someone who would actually talk to you and just pay attention to you, and you've got me. At one point when you were younger you wished your parents were dead so you could be free, and you got exactly that!"
"What I was like nine when I said that! Of course I never meant it! Besides how do you know all this, what are you my personal stalker?"
"Well, it takes forever to find the perfect one and when I saw you it was as if the goddess Bastet had told me that you were the one! And I saw all your hopes and dreams with this."
"Oh don't tell me your gonna bring out a fushigi, I can already think of several Labyrinth references here already." "No." Marik said and pulled out the millennium rod "Like I said before it gives me infinite powers. Yet another one is controlling minds; I can erase memories even if needed to." Marik took a couple steps closer basically boxing Rizu into a corner. Rizu held her ground and said, "You know what I'm not afraid of you! You have no power over me!" Then she paused expecting something to happen but nothing did. "Like you said it girlie, this isn't the Labyrinth." and with that Marik took the millennium rod and waved it slowly in front of her face. Rizu was helpless to it and like that he'd erased every single memory of Yusei from her mind, they were sent to the shadow realm.
