Mariku's Quest






a/n: Well, story arc 2 comes to a close. Not that long, eh? Next story arc is when the sparks start to fly
between Mariku and Bakura. Stay tuned. ANd, sorry if I switch between Mariku and Marik, I just do,
sorry again. This chapters real short. Ya know. I've been REAL un motivated lately and since only one
person's reviewing....I might just up and stop this fic all together. It's up to you.





The next morning Bakura was rudely awoken. "Get up! We're leaving early if we want to be there
in time." Bakura mummbld incoherently and turned over. "Of for the love of....WAKE UP!" Bakkura jumped
awake. "Shit! Don't do that!" He said as he rubbed his head. HE vaugly wondered why he didn't have a
hangover. 'Right right. My tolerence for Alcohol.' he thought. Mariku pulled him out of bed. "Do you WANT
to get home or not becuase I sware i'll leave you here!" Mariku growled.
Bakura snorted. "Right. Let's go." They said goodbye to Joey and Serenity before leaving.
They arrived at the that night. "Bakura!" King Ryou said as he hugged his son. "hi Father." "We've been
worried sick about you!" Ryou said. Bakura looked at Yami. "I'm sorry to make you to worry like that. It
couldn't have been good for you." Bakura said to ryou.
"Bakura." Yami said levely. "Yes Dad?" "Don't let it happen again."He said. Bakura raised an
eyebrow. "Right." He said, understanding. "Mariku. Thank you. I don't know how.." Ryou was cut short.
"It's alright. Really." Mariku said distractedly, loking at Bakura. The moonlight making him look..angelic.
Ryou smiled secretly and nuddged Yami with a look that said 'Ha ha! you owe me. I get to
be on top!' Yami scowled. "Malik will want to see you." Yami said gruffly as he and Ryou turned to leave.
Mariku blinked. "Oh yeah. Right. Malik. Well bye." Mariku said.
"Wait! Mariku!"Bakukra hollared trying to catch up to him. "Yeah?" Marik asked as he turned.
"I..uh..Shit. I'm no good at this. I just. I wanted to say..." Marik smiled at the floundering boy. "It's Ok.
I understand. " He whispered. "NO! It's not OK! You saved my life. I HATE being WEAK and..I want to
SOMEWAY repay you for helping me when I was!"
"There's nothing you have that I want." Marik said, turning to leave again. for some reason,
that comment made Bakura angry. "FINE! BE A JACKASS! Hhmp!" Bakura turned and stormed up the
steps to the castle. They both looked back at the same time, 'hmphed' and walked faster.
