Hello. This story might not be finished as soon as planned because I had some Christmas shopping to do. I didn't get ANY reviews last chapter. PLEASE REVIEW!!!! Here's Chapter II. It might not be too good because I'm not really into the Christmas spirit tonight.

************************************************************************

~Why is it so cold in here? ~ Malik thought to himself as he was waking up.

The Spirit of Christmas Past or Marik for short-"And I thought that I was going to have to wake you up."

Malik-"Marik, what are you doing here? I thought that you were supposed to be at Kaiba's.

Marik-"I'm NOT Marik. I am the spirit of Christmas Past."

Malik-"Yeah right. I must be dreaming."

Marik-"No, you're not dreaming. Didn't Shadi tell you that I was coming?"

Malik-"Oh yeah! I remember now."

*~Flashback~*

Shadi-"You will be visited by three spirits."

~*End Flashback*~

Malik-"So what are you doing here?"

Marik-"I'm here to show you you're Christmas past. Didn't you read the book?"

Malik-"What book?"

Marik-"Nevermind. Let's just go."

Marik then chanted a magic spell in Egyptian and they were no longer in Malik's bedroom but in what appeared to be a room in a house in Egypt. A young girl about the age of ten walked into a room with an orange kitten that was about half grown.

Isis-"Malik, I got you a Christmas present."

A 6 year old Malik walked into the room.

Young Malik-"What is it."

Isis-"It's the cat."

Young Malik-"Really!?! Thanks Isis! But what will father say? You no he hates cats.

Isis-"Don't worry about it. It's a stray and you know that he has a soft spot for anything that doesn't have a home."

Young Malik-"You're right."

Isis-"So what are you going to call him?"

Y.M.-"How about Ra?"

Isis-"That sounds like a good name."

Malik watched his younger self pet the cat and play with it. After a few minutes he finally decided to say something.

Malik-"I remember Ra. He was a nice cat. I spent the whole day with him only to find him dead the next day."

After Malik said that, Marik began to chant another spell. They were now in another room with a 15 year old Malik. He looked like he was thinking hard about something. A girl of about 15 years of age with waist length black hair and green eyes named Reika walked into the room.

Reika-"Merry Christmas Malik!"

15 yr. old Malik-"Huh! Oh it's you. What are you doing here?"

Reika-"I just was wondering if you wanted to go to a movie or something."

15 yr.Malik-"No thanks. I'm busy."

Reika-"Doing what?"

15 yr. Malik-"Plotting my revenge."

Reika-"That's all you ever do anymore. Can't you at least take a break for one night."

15 yr. Malik-"He killed my father and has to pay!"

Reika-"Did you see him kill your father?"

Malik-"No, but I know he did."

Reika-"How?"

15 yr. Malik-"I just do. Now if you don't mind I'd like to be alone to plot my revenge."

Reika-"Fine. But before I leave, take this."

She then took off a necklace with a locket for a charm and threw it to him.

15 yr. Malik-"Why are you giving this back to me?"

Reika-"To remember me by in case you ever decide to care for something other than revenge."

15 yr. Malik-"What do you mean?"

Reika-"My parents are moving to France. I was going to stay with my grandpa here in Egypt, but since all you care about is revenge I think I'll go with them. Goodbye!"

15 yr. Malik-"Reika Wait!"

It was too late she was already out the door. The regular Malik watched as his younger self clutch the locket in his hand as a few teardrops fell out of his eyes.

Malik-"That was two years ago and the last time I saw Reika. Take me away. I don't want to see anymore."

Marik could see that Malik was close to tears.

Marik-"Very well."

Malik then woke up in his bed.

Malik-"It was only a dream."

He then went back to sleep until...
