"It's a good thing you brought this here when you did, who knows how long this gadget would lasted" a teenage boy with brow gloves said with a grin as Myra handed him the phone containing Noah's consciousness.
"Will you be able to help him?" Myra asked now looking worried about the boy's wellbeing, seeing the note the blue messy haired boy snorted.
"My, I hack for a living. Repairing and transferring the consciousness of this guy-piece of cake!" the guy grinned as he pulled his goggles onto his head. Looking at the teen male Myra raised a brow but knew he would be able to do it. Not that Seto would know who was using his network as a testing ground, but if Seto asked she would deny knowing since it was for a good cause for both parties. One got to test new software, the other had to find new means of defending the network and weed out the weak minded technicians who couldn't fix or prevent the issue.
"Thanks Surf Hacker, enjoy your day" Myra waved as the guy watched her with a grin.
"So long Lil Dove" the male grinned as she used his code name. A nickname which was also used between friends.
"Nicolas come on dad wants you fixing the light!" a girl with fiery red hair with red eyes groaned as she peeked her head out the door, sighing his eyes glinted before looking at the phone.
"Sorry Flarera a client just came" he replied but ignored her glaring.
"For the last time stop calling me that, It's Liza" she snapped while he chuckled.
"Hey Starlight! How's the situation with our electricity I have something I need to fix!" Nicolas hollered as he entered the main part of his repair shop.
"SHUT UP!" Liza screamed startling a blond haired yellow eyed girl while she held live cables with a pair of thin white gloves.
Myra sighed as she finished her video call to Marik and relaxed in her chair, spotting Mokuba entering the room the brothers had offered her for work she smiled and waved.
"Was that Marik?" she nodded.
"Called to check how I was and to apologise for his actions again" she signed with a small smile while Mokuba sat down beside her.
"I am still surprised that this is the same Marik who caused us problems a week ago" Mokuba commented as he relaxed in the chair.
"True but he is truly sorry, he wants to help however he can but even he's limited in some areas" Myra responded with a sad smile.
"Like what?" Myra paused before looking at him with nervous eyes.
"I am trying to locate where Ilayna- Marium's mother's body was hidden" Mokuba blinked in surprise.
"Marium as in the spirit in the pendent?" Myra nodded "wasn't she buried with her family?" this she shook her head leaving him baffled.
"She was murdered for finding out a plot to murder someone she knew but before she could speak the one who plotted killed her and hid her body so no one could find her" Myra replied to a now horrified Mokuba.
"Do you have any idea of where she could be hidden?" Mokuba asked, Myra showed him a map of Egypt.
"All we know is that she could have been here-where the palace was but that's it" Myra signed to a now perplexed Mokuba who nodded.
"I can ask Seto, he may not be keen on an expedition but if it helps Marium's spirit rest more easily then I say why not give it a try" he said to her surprise.
"Th...ank you Mokuba, this truly means a lot but what technology will you use to find her remains" Mokuba grinned.
"Just leave it to us, there hasn't been anything that we can't do" Mokuba said leaving Myra and Marium relieved until she spotted something by the pot. Not wasting time Myra grabbed Mokuba and dived to avoid what looked like a duel monster creature of a rat.
"What the-?!" Mokuba cried before looking outside to see loads more monsters roaming outside.
"This can't be our doing!" Mokuba said before calling Seto in order to assess the situation. Myra as she watched felt her cards burning in her case which she placed in her pocket. Blinking the pair watched her take her cards out only to cry out from the light that filled the room until a familiar golden yellow dragon appeared before them.
"Winged Dragon of Ra?! No way I thought Yugi had that card!" Mokuba cried while Myra observed the rattled Ra.
"Someone has frozen my brothers and my other card in ice just before the creatures appeared" Ra said to their shock.
"But you were able to come here before your card was frozen right?" Myra asked now looking worried.
"Aye, but I do not know how it would take before I am discovered by our captor" Ra said in a mellow voice. "It would be best to find the pharaoh child otherwise you'll be at risk" Ra instructed as it unfolded it's wings, seeing this Myra looked at Mokuba.
"I have to go" Myra said to her saddened friend.
"I know, safe trip home okay-oh and we should talk about how there are two Ra cards" this made the pair smirk.
"Pegasus" was all she sighed before going towards Ra who held her in it's hands, spying the broken but open window Ra flew out and quickly left to find Yami.
"Hey isn't that Ra?" Joey asked while it flew towards them, Marium glared after Ra landed and vanished back into it's card located where her deck case was.
"You have some explaining to do" Marium spoke to Yami in a sharp yet stern tone that left everyone on edge even if they hadn't done anything.
"Rina I-"
*SLAP!*
Yami's face went to the right so quickly that everyone was sure that his head was going to do a three sixty causing some to wince from almost feeling his pain.
"Ra also told me that his brethren were frozen and you somehow caused it. What exactly did you do?!" She snapped leaving him uneasy but forced himself to speak despite being in shock from the force of her slap as he placed a hand to his reddened cheek.
"I went to the museum and showed the tablet the God Cards, I didn't know that the tablet would freeze-" Yami felt his stomach drop as she threw her arms in the air and release a cry of frustration, just seeing this caused him to almost see a scenario similar to now.
"I cannot believe you! Why didn't you wait for me? Did you not think that something would happen?" Marium scolded almost prepared to hit him again to his dismay.
"How was I suppose to know?" he cried weakly as he held his arms up in fear.
"Exactly! If you had waited or better yet asked me Obelisk and Slifer would still be intact! Now Ra is trying to remain hidden from whoever did this them and it is your fault!" Marium said now losing her temper which left Yami more glum.
"Hey guys, Yugi didn't know and neither did the pharaoh" Joey said as he tried to get Marium to back off only this encouraged her to glare at him instead to his dismay.
"Want to tell that to the panicking monsters out here? Some are causing havoc while some are hiding not knowing what to do, they don't even know where they are Joey so do you think what he did was a good idea?" Marium barked leaving Joey wanting to back off. Seeing this she nodded. "Exactly, now let's get inside. I'll inspect the tablet later" she growled now wanting the day to be over, the group stared at the other with frightened looks before entering the shop.
"YAAAAMIIII!" Lily's screams filled the shop causing Yami to go pale.
To his dismay two angry females were now screaming while the others were forced to watch from afar, Solomon however guided the other teens to the TV so they could watch the news knowing that this would keep them occupied. Ten minutes later Yami joined them followed by a seething Marium who watched the screen with a pensive expression.
"Kaiba is going to be having his hands full thanks to this" Tristan commented before hearing Marium coughing sharply causing the group to wince as she glared at Yami.
"I have said I am sorry, next time I will wait and listen" Yami said weakly before spotting his furious mother's look, seeing this left him ducking his head down until they heard a crash downstairs. Hearing this Marium and Yami ran downstairs in order to investigate.
"What happened?" Marium asked as they tried to help him up.
"They...they took the God cards..." Solomon groaned from the pain while the pair flashed the other a look, "I tried to stop them" Joey soon helped Solomon sit onto a chair before Yami and Marium rushed outside to see Obelisk the Tormentor outside followed by Slifer and Ra, however Marium remained calm since it was temporary with Ra given that she had the true version of the card.
"Guys… I think we're in trouble here" Joey said weakly as they looked at the God Cards.
"Yami..." Marium growled "When this is over, pack your stuff away properly" she added with a warning in her voice.
"Sorry..." he muttered before group rushed towards where the card's form could be located only Marium stood back the moment she saw a symbol on a man wearing a green robe and a monocle. Her mind suddenly went to a memory involving the symbol startling her deeply. Soon images of a war followed by a sword that shone a bright light and a large piece of land being sent to the sky filled Marium and Myra's shocked mind causing them to go still.
"Yami be careful these are not normal people" Marium yelled as she spotted three other people watching them which left her on edge.
"Good day everyone" a teen wearing goggles on his head grinned.
"It's night time smarty pants if you haven't notice" Marium spat dryly causing him to laugh.
"Alright lady no need to be snappy, just saying hello" he added with the same expression as he looked at the group.
"Yeah well can you lot shove off? You're being annoying" she ranted causing the blond haired male wearing sun glasses to frown.
"Valon why are you even bothering to agitate them?" the blond male asked in a bored tone.
"Yeah, we're only here to beat the pharaoh and take his soul so what is the point of picking a fight?" a thin red haired male asked while wearing sunglasses.
"His soul?" Marium looked at them with suspicious eyes.
"Just a friendly banter mate, no need to get your knickers in a twist" Marium hearing Valon's words snorted and looked away while covering her hand with her mouth causing Yami to look at her quickly in shock at how the guy could make her laugh just like that.
"Y-Yeah, although I must ask what kind are they wearing?" the four males facing her stood with stunned expressions while Yami flashed her a cross look not believing his ears. Joey, Tristan and Téa however were left speechless until Joey laughed as he caught on her joke.
"E-Excuse me?!" the blond teen asked sharply almost blushing in embarrassment at the bold question.
"He mentioned it, so do go having a go at me. Blame him I'm just playing along" she added with pink on her face as she tried not to laugh even more loudly. This made the blond male glare at Valon who raised his arms up in surrender.
"Just playing mate no need-"
"Don't even finish that sentence" the tall red head said sharply earning them another snort from Marium.
"If you weren't against us I would have liked you already" Marium admitted as she recovered, raising a brow Valon looked at her.
"Shame, although it doesn't have to be this way" Valon offered to Yami's anger shocking Yugi at how the spirit was reacting to the comments.
"Hmm... nah, rather eat stale bread" Marium smirked as she waved her hand in a dismissive manner.
"Ah your loss lady" Valon said while his grin widened at how she was responding, something Yami was no so happy about.
"I am here to challenge the pharaoh to a duel" the man in green declared to the group, seeing this Marium took a step back as she felt the darkness around the man becoming more stifling. She didn't know why but she felt it grow and leaving her more uncomfortable. In a way she felt like envy surrounding the man in green.
"Yami I am serious careful something is not right about him" Marium warned confusing the group.
"I would strongly advise you hand over the God cards, you do not know what power they possess" Yami warned.
"What do you mean?" Téa asked looking worried as they continued to watch.
"Oh I'm well aware pharaoh, just like how I possess the three Egyptian God Cards. You possess something that I desire. Your soul" the man said sharply.
"Hah! The lady is sharp after all! Master Darts will be interested to hear this, shame he's already walked right into the trap" Valon laughed "she is right but in the end you don't have a choice, that is unless you want your cards back mate" he added to her and Yami's anger.
"They are not toys, if you have any respect you will give them back" Marium warned.
"Eh don't wanna, not like you can do anything about it so ya all bark but no bite" Valon goaded causing her to flare up in anger.
"What did you say?!" Marium screamed before being restrained by Joey.
"He's all talk as well, he ain't worth it Rina" Joey said while holding her back, looking at Joey she relaxed.
"Thank you, almost blew a head up if you hadn't got involved" she smiled knowing that it would rattle the trio watching.
"You can't do-" Marium's look silenced Valon who now gulped as he saw the dark look in her eyes.
"Told you, you shouldn't have provoked her" the blond muttered before the duel got underway. To Marium's dismay the man in green activated a card called the Seal of Orichalcos which surrounded Yami and the man, however before anyone could process what happened Marium immediately started screaming in agony in Joey's arms horrifying Yugi and the others as she shook.
"Rina!" Yami yelled as he ran towards them but was stopped by the seal.
"Until this duel is over pharaoh you cannot leave, although if you lose... you lose your soul" the man chuckled cruelly as his eyes went red while a green symbol appeared on his head. Marium's screams continued to fill their ears as she tried to block away not only the darkness but the malicious thoughts and feelings of the seal, her eyes watered as she felt and heard the agonizing screams of the victims as well leaving her completely overwhelmed.
"Man and I thought that it would affect light monsters, that must hurt a lot" Valon commented as he saw a light blue aura appear and vanish around her, just seeing this made him and the tall red head wince from how badly this was hurting her. The blond haired man observed her carefully with the intention of finding out why she was being affected this badly.
"Joey get her away from the seal now!" Yami yelled frantically as he saw her shaking from the pain.
"Right" Joey picked Marium up and ran while making sure she was secure. Marium continued to scream in agony as parts of her skin turned angry red almost giving the appearance that she was being burned. "Hang in there Rina, I'll get ya somewhere safe" Joey said as her screams and shaking continued. Suddenly a light appeared behind them causing Joey to look and see a thin green light.
"That can't be good" Joey muttered before running towards the game shop. Once inside he saw Lily's stunned expression.
"Follow me quickly" was all she said in a stern tone. Following quickly Joey arrived at a room that contained candles that were being lit up, he soon smelt an incense filling the air as he watched Yugi's mother act.
"Quickly, put her here" Lily instructed in a hurried tone as she gestured to the middle of a circle created by candles she had formed with her hand. Unsure about what she was up to he placed Marium in the circle only to cry in shock as the flames turned green.
"What happened?" Lily in a concerned tone as she tried to light the last incense.
"The guys who stole the cards used this card called the Seal of Orichalcos, next thing we know is that Rina's screaming and shaking" Lily blinked as she knelt down and tilted her head while looking at him in confusion.
"The seal of what? What does that do?" Lily asked sounding completely lost.
"All we know is that it supposedly takes souls, something like that" Joey replied before looking at Marium who wad groaning, tossing and turning in pain.
"Whatever it is, it must be evil otherwise she wouldn't be affected" Lily whispered before her ferret landed from her shoulders after she went i to a meditative pose, closing it's eyes the rings on it's arms and legs began to glow but Joey was unable to see the ferret until the area grew misty. Seeing the Ferret he yelped.
"Settle Joey, I am trying to concentrate" she said sternly.
"How could she be affected though when we weren't?" Joey asked as he watched Marium's form revert back to Myra adding more worry to his mind.
"There are certain evil in this world Joey that the light must never touch" she said softly "some can corrupt light while some destroy. Yes light and shadow can mix but not a concentrated amount such as this, this I have no idea of what this evil is. But I will do what I can to pull it out of her before it destroys their souls" Lily explained until Yugi ran into the room.
"Mum!" Yugi looked at Myra before gasping.
"I am doing what I can, until I can try to find out how to identify this malevolent aura it'll continue to fester and hurt her" Lily explained before wincing as she felt her wrists burn from the affects that continued to hurt Myra.
"They called it the great beast, something-Leviathan!" Yugi yelled startling his mother enough to open her eyes.
"Are you serious?! That thing?!" Lily screamed before hardening her eyes. "Yugi hand me the pendent. I know what to do" Lily said with a determined smile, not wasting time Yugi took the pendent Lily gave Yami and handed it to her.
"Put the water over there in a bowl and place it in front of me, quickly now" Lily urged. Hearing this Joey got up to assist while Téa and Tristan watched with an equally worried Solomon by the door.
Once the bowl of water was half full Lily took the pendent and placed the stone into the water, watching the water turn the stone blue she lifted it up and placed the rope around Myra's neck despite the fact she was struggling. Myra immediately screamed mutely as the stone touched her bare neck while the green aura was being sucked into the magatama until there was nothing left to absorb. Soon she relaxed and fell into a fitful sleep.
"It's working" Tristan cried in relief while Téa sighed now happy Myra was going to be okay, Joey smiled before seeing Yugi rub his eyes signalling that he was crying.
"She's going to be okay Yug, don't worry about it. This is Myra we're dealing with here" Joey smiled softly as he placed a hand on Yugi's shoulder while Lily observed the pendent.
"We almost lost her to the seal Joey, even now I can't help but worry that this could happen again" Yugi choked before looking at his mother. "Thank you mother, how did you know?" this caught their attention as she hummed with a soft smile.
"Leviathan is the demon of Envy" she said shocking them "it is supposedly the second most deadliest sin-Envy, people can suffer gravely because of they become the victims of the eyes of those who want what they contain. Some light dwellers do not fair well against certain entities because they cannot stand such negatives, it is worse when your a psychic who can hear things. Hearing them is one thing but feeling things to do with it can be overwhelming and judging by the large concentration it has gotten stronger over the years" Lily explained as she blew the candles out.
"In fact this is a first that I have ever heard of this seal, but the creature... avoid it at all cost or you could suffer. I can only assume it escaped hell but that is just a theory" Lily said before packing things away.
"Now get her to bed please, Téa be a dear and help put this ointment on her injuries. The last thing we want is boys staring at her" Lily smiled slyly at the shocked boys who yelled in protest while their faces went red from what she was insinuating.
"R-Right Mrs Moto" Téa picked Myra up and followed Lily to Myra's room leaving the boys behind to complain.
Téa bit her lip when she saw the injuries after laying Myra on her bed, regardless of how they upset Téa deeply she helped Lily treat them before bandaging the burns up.
"It will take a few days but she'll be as good as new, for now she needs rest" Lily instructed before seeing Téa's sad expression.
"It seems like she is always going to get hurt somehow" Téa commented causing Lily to sigh as she remembered what she spoke to Myra about.
"A sad fate but there isn't much she can do except survive for as long as she ca " Lily said before humming softly "Let's give her space to recover, we will see her in the morning" Lily guided a sad Téa out before closing the door. Lily looked at Téa briefly feeling a little frustrated with what was going on. Did Téa like Yugi? Or did she like Yami? Something she knew would lead to consequences that would bite Yami once he remembered, something the mother knew was not good.
As the night wore on Yugi snuck into Myra's room with a sleeping bag and placed it near the bed, looking at her injured state upset Yugi deeply even though he entered the room to help her. Yami meanwhile was beside himself, he felt guilty for allowing this to happen. If he had known this would happen then he would have kept her at the house but what's done was done and now she had to heal once again.
"We're fine idiot" came a but gruff voice that startled Yugi and Yami enough to jump a bit, looking at Myra's form they noticed that Marium has taken over and continued to lay in bed with a frown on her face.
"You're awake" Yugi said with a soft smile.
"Still got some years left in this body, sorry to disappoint" she responded dryly causing Yugi to laugh weakly before going towards Marium who allowed him to hug her despite her injuries, biting her lip she resisted to hiss in pain as she felt his shoulders shake.
"I didn't know-"
"Yugi" Marium looked at the saddened boy sternly that left him staring "I didn't anticipate it either, those people are dangerous so no matter what never touch anything belonging to them. If they challenge you with the card in their possession, fight and win otherwise who knows what would happen alright?" Marium said sternly, looking at her with tears in his eyes Yugi nodded faintly before Marium sighed and pulled him into another hug. It truly hurt her to see him this way, what could she do though? Whoever they were contained some sort of power that even she wasn't aware of. Was this power old? It could be but how old.
"It's bed time now Yugi, head to your room-" she paused as he shook his head and hugged her tighter to her surprise.
"I don't want to leave, please let me stay here. Just until you get better" Marium raised a brow and chuckled at how childlike he was being, just witnessing this left her wondering what her children had been like back then. Had they have been clingy as well?
"And where would you sleep?" she asked with a humorous smile, no sooner had she said that did he gesture to the sleeping bag causing her to blink in surprise. "Oh..."
"Please Rina" Yugi pleaded with wide but sad eyes that left her raising a brow.
"Sweety, that look never works on me" she said bluntly to his shock "but... if you don't pull that look again I'll let you stay for the night" she relented to his relief.
"Thank you Rina" Yugi said before getting his sleeping bag ready, once he was nestled in did Yugi look at her "good night Rina" Yugi spoke softly before closing his eyes so he could sleep. Marium smiled as she watched him sleep with a peaceful look on his face before looking up, a yawn left her lips which stopped halfway as she sensed something.
"I know you're still awake Yami" she felt the presence go still but she wasn't fooled "Yami, do we have to continue this farce? Get up" she said bluntly before the puzzle glowed faintly from Yugi's sleeping bag which caused her to roll her eyes faintly.
"I didn't want to disturb you" Yami's voice entered her ears.
"Yami... Myra and I are still alive, we just got caught off guard by whatever that was" Marium explained with a grudging tone, she heard fabric ruffling followed by movement coming from the corner of her eye. She turned to see Yami standing with an awkward but worried look on his face, sighing she tried to move towards the wall but winced as she did so causing Yami to react and help. Once there was some space he sat down and held her bandaged hand softly.
"Regardless Rina, you were right. If I hadn't-"
"I was mad when I said that, if anything this person or thing planned for you to approach the stone tablet with the cards. None of us could have anticipated this" Marium admitted with a sad smile that left him more guilty.
"I... I just wanted to find out about my past, I wanted to know who I truly am" Yami said weakly as he looked ahead of him, Marium continued to look at him before making a gesture for him to lay down and he did. Despite having one hand on their own stomachs the pair held the others hand and looked at the ceiling.
"Well... this is a fine mess we got ourselves in" Marium commented with a slight sarcastic slight amused tone, looking at her Marium felt his eyes and looked at him. "It is true, first Pegasus then the dark spirit possessing Bakura and Marik now this. It seems like we can't catch a break without something happening" she said to which he nodded.
"Could be worse, people could be dead or dying" she shrugged slightly causing Yami's mind to go back to the dead body, his hand clenched hers surprising her enough to blink. "Nightmares again?" she asked softly to which he remained silent.
"Yami, what you see might not always be accurate unless you have the full story. There are always two sides" she said with a heavy sigh.
"Then why do I see or hear things that look real?" Yami asked with a pained look on his expression, Marium blinked.
"Not everything is real, we often mistake reality with illusions" Marium explained but he shook his head.
"Not this one" Yami said sounding miserable. "When I was speaking to Myra after she saw me looking tired, I heard a girl talking to me. She asked me why I was shutting her out… her voice even entered my mind once more when I snuck out the house" Yami explained before biting the inside of his mouth, Marium watched with a curious look. She didn't remember telling him that… it could have been one moment but it shouldn't have created that much of an issue, it did involve his father and the untimely death which resulted in him shutting himself out to escape his grief. But that was taken care of, so who would tell him that?
Seeing as she wasn't going to respond allowed Yami to speak more freely but didn't look at her, instead he looked at the ceiling while holding her hand like it was his only lifeline from this insane memory. Marium meanwhile blinked in surprise while pain filled her in knowing that this girl was truly crying for him to be there but he denied her that right. If it was who she thought it was then her heart immediately wept for their daughter Myra and Abidos, knowing they were trying to get them to notice them but were failing badly due to how his state had been. It broke her and left her wanting to pull his hair in anger, instead she was silent and waited.
"She… she asking if I was ignoring her because she looked like her mother, she then said that she hated her mother because of how I was acting… like they didn't exist. But… I don't know who this girl is nor why she was speaking to me like I was causing her pain, I truly do not know what to do Rina. It hurts that I've made this girl upset and I don't know why" Yami said while clenching his chest tightly, Marium kept her look neutral as she knew he was facing some backlash for his actions even if he didn't know who the girl was.
"Whoever this girl was… you must have let her down deeply, but what possessed you to do that? That is if you know what happened" Marium asked in a terse tone that he knew he deserved.
"She also said that I kept acting like everything was fine, that I kept shutting them out of my mind. Like they never existed…" Yami went silent before feeling her head rest on his shoulder, just feeling her close he exhaled heavily while enjoying the silence that filled them.
"Stupid move for a stupid idiot" she muttered dryly causing him to choke on a cry as he half laughed thanks to her comment.
"Thanks?" Yami's voice went high for a bit but didn't complain about the insult, instead a weak smile formed on his lips before looking at her as she eyed him after she moved her head up slightly. Soon she started to smile faintly before turning slightly so she was facing him allowing them to look at the other even more compared to the position that she was in before.
"It is the truth Yami, don't go getting upset" she said while mentally upset at how stupid he ruined the lives of their children, no doubt they were crushed and felt neglected regardless of who was looking after them. Was he busy? Maybe but he was no doubt living in his own bubble to notice who was hurting.
"Wouldn't want to disappoint" he replied as the pair smiled faintly "Rina… I know that-" he paused as he bit his lip and looked down at their hands leaving her curious as to what he wanted to say.
"What I've been trying to say this whole time even after things kept getting in the way is that, I have feelings for you. I can't truly understand why but I do feel like I know you and something tells me that I hurt you deeply. However I am willing to try and make things right… that is if you let me?" Yami asked feeling his heart beat violently as his nerves grew from what she could say. Just thinking about the memories that filled him with guilt and sadness, yes they haunted him but knowing that somehow she meant a lot to him before he lost his memories it gave him some relief in knowing that she was with him in this moment.
Marium however as she looked at him blinked in surprise, she didn't truly expect this sudden confession and yet as much as she wanted him to remember her. Just knowing that he cared for her gave her some respite and hope in knowing that things could work out, so instead of speaking she gazed at him warmly.
"Y-You don't need to give me an answer now" Yami stammered causing her to mentally giggle at how cute he was being. "I can wait until this is over, it's just knowing that something could happen. I didn't want to leave this unsaid" Yami explained now wanting to hide but knew that was impossible with her holding his hand, he did however freeze as she moved up and kissed the side of his mouth. Yami was sure that she could hear his heart due to how fast it was beating, that and he was relieved that it was dark or she would have seen his beet red face from the fact she kissed him.
"For now, I'm happy" Marium smiled softly as she nuzzled his shoulder lightly.
"I was already yours darling" Marium thought feeling her heart sing with happiness but didn't move much in order to not aggravate her injuries. Yami however turned on his side and cupped her left cheek with his hand, looking at him she saw his smile grow before he leaned close and then kissed her to which she responded. Yami as he kissed her pulled her close with his free arm while keeping his eyes closed, an image soon filled his mind which involved feeling a cool breeze. Looking down he saw Marium looking up at him with her long black hair fanning behind white pillows and white sheets that she laid on top of, her eyes were warm and happy as she placed her hand on his cheek before giggling.
"Getting shy are we?" she asked slyly causing him to laugh at the joke.
"Who says that I am shy? After all I have-oi!" Yami grunted as she slapped his cheek lightly but he didn't stop smiling from what she did.
"Watch it Mr!" she said with a twinkle in her eyes as she laughed at how he was teasing her "you maybe a king to everyone else but not to me in case you've forgotten" hearing this he laughed loudly and leaned close.
"How could I forget Mar-"
"Yami?" Marium's worried voice snapped him out of the vision he witnessed, blinking he looked at her and realised he was in her room. "Are you okay?" Marium asked as she tried to sense what was wrong with him. Before she could do that Yami immediately pulled her in for another kiss, this time it was a stronger kiss that was filled with longing and left him wanting more. Slowly he tried to guide her into the spirit room to which she followed without question, something that made him happy and relieved that she would trust him enough to enter. It did feel and look eerie but the pair cared not as he leaned against the wall right next to his door but kept her close as he remained kissing her deeply, feeling the door handle he opened the door and pulled her in with him and slammed it shut before Yugi could even sense that they had entered the soul room. Yugi however peeked outside his soul room door and blinked, rubbing his eyes he yawned before shaking his head as he saw nothing and closed the door to his room.
"Must have just been my imagination" Yugi muttered before yawning once more and went to sleep. Meanwhile unaware that Yami was making out with Marium in his room as he kept it locked.
