Hello Readers! I am back again. Ok I really would like
to thank all who reviewed. My ol faithfuls of course.
You know who you are Crazy Rikku, Mistress of Marik
(glad to see you back from all of that blasted stuff
they love to give called homework ^_^), Mariks Girl,
and Shadow Dragonia. I can't believe I got 20
reviews!! ^_^ I am so happy. I have this story
written down but it is not finished so I thought I
would post on here what I do have done. Anyways before
we get into the chapter there is one more pesky thing
I am required to get out of the way....the disclaimer.
*ahem* I do not own any part of Yugioh in any way,
shape, or form. But I do own Marie. Ok now that all
that boring junk is done and over, let's get on with
the chapter shall we? ^_^
Meet the Family
The next morning Marie woke up with a terrible
headache. Her head felt like mine where people were
pounding looking for gold, but something smelled
delicious. On the night stand next to her a tray of
eggs and bacon sat. She suddenly remembered what had
happened the night before. She looked around wondering
where she was. She knew it wasn't her room. She looked
on the desk near the bed and she saw a beautiful
looking couple standing outside a pyrimid. They looked
very happy. The man was tall and had warm lavender
eyes and platnum colored hair with a big bushy beard.
The woman was just a little shorter with medium length
black hair and beautiful saphire eyes. She looked to
the picture next to that. She saw a picture of the
whole gang, and even Marik, having a water war in the
park with balloons and guns. They looked like they
were having a blast. She knew then that she must have
been in Marik's room. She saw that her wounds had been
patched up. She swung her feet over the bed slowly and
walked over to the desk. She picked up the picture of
the couple in front of the pyramid. These must be
Marik's parents, she thought smiling.
"What are you doing out of bed," a deep, soft voice
said from the doorway. She jumped up about 10 feet
before seeing a grinning Marik leaning in the doorway.
"I was just...uh...," she stuttered putting the
picture down.
He smiled and for some reason it made her spine
tingle. He came closer to her.
"Don't worry about it. I am just glad you are ok," he
said.
"You saved my life," she said softly with a smile,"
thank you." Then she hugged him. He was suprised at
first but then he returned the hug. But unfortunately
he squeezed a little too tight.
"OH," she cried letting go, and clutching her stomach
in pain.
"I'm so sorry," he said letting her go," are you ok?"
"I'm fine. It is really no problem. So are those your
parents," she asked pointing towards the picture. He
nodded with a sad smile. Then she got it.
"Oh, I am soo sorry," she said blusing and looking
down.
"Nah, it's nothing," he said softly," I let you sleep
in since it is Saturday."
"Thank you," she said with a warm smile. I was so much
like the one in his dream that he felt warm and fuzzy.
Unlike his dream, however, he knew her name, and she
was talking to him.
"So you decided that you were going to talk to me
today or something," she asked grinning playfully.
"I think I will go with 'or something'," he said
smirking.
"OH," Marie said suddenly," I gotta call my parents!
They are probably worried sick!"
"Already taken care of," a deep feminine voice said.
"Maire, this is my older sister Ishizu. She was the
one who put you back together," Marik said pointing
toward the lady who looked almost identical to the
woman in the picture. Marie smiled.
"Thank you very much Ishizu," Marie replied
greatfully, bowing in respect.
"It's no problem. I let your parents know you were ok
and that you were here studying with a bunch of
girlfriends," she said.
"I still need to use your phone. I was supposed to
duel Yami last night and well...," she said trailing
off," I just don't want him to think that I chickened
out or something."
"Go ahead," Mairk said motioning to his phone,"I know
Yami. If you don't explain he will never let you live
it down."
She smiled as she picked up the phone and took the
number Yami gave her, out of her pocket. It rang twice
before someone picked up.
"Moshi Moshi," came a kindly old voice on the other
end.
"Yes is this the Mottou residence," she asked.
"Why yes it is! This is Solomon Mottou you are
speaking too."
"Oh good, I am a friend of Yami's from school. Is he
there?"
"Yes but he is half asleep."
"That's fine."
"Alright. YAMI!!!"
There was a brief silence before someone picked up.
"Mmm hullo," came a very sleepy Yami voice. (^_^ SOOO
KAWAII!!!)
"Aww did you just get up," she asked sweetly.
"Mmm hmm. Marie?"
"Very good."
"Where were you last night?"
"You will never believe what happened."
"Try me."
"I was kidnapped by a street gang."
"WHAT?!?!?!? Are you ok??"
"Boy, you wake up fast," she replied with a laugh,"
Yes I am fine. You remember how i said that I wanted
to suprise Marik?"
That remark earned her a one eyebrow look from Marik.
She just grinned and winked. He rolled his eyes
grinning.
"Yea?"
"Well, some thugs jumped me and tried to rape me, but
Marik saved me."
"Well then we are fortunate Marik was there in time.
Any injuries?"
"Wound to the neck and stomach. Other than that just
some bumps and dings."
"*gasp* Where are you," he asked in a deadly serious
tone.
"I'm at Marik's. W-"
"Stay right there. I'm coming over!"
"But Yami-" But it was too late. He had aleady hung
up.
"So what's up," Marik asked.
"He is on his way over," Marie said grimly.
"That's ok. He is concerned about you. That's natural.
Here, eat your breakfast," he replied.
"Thanks," she said then she thought and said," Hey,
what did you do with the jerk I met yesterday?"
"I dunno, probably the same thing you did with the
Bi***," he smirked.
"*gasp* MARIK!"
"EAT!"
"Ok, ok," she said lauging as she ate her food.
A little while later Yami and Yugi arrived. Yami was
checking her wounds and was about ready to kill the
bastards that did it. Yugi had to calm him down.
"I just wanted you to know I wasn't chickening out of
our duel, Yami," she said.
"Of course! I would never believe that about you. I
thought that you went home because you were tired," he
said. Marie laughed but then cried in pain. The boys
rushed to her side.
"I still want to duel you Yami," she said with
challange in her eyes.
"Not until you are better," Yami replied.
"I agree," Yugi said.
"Me too," Mairk said.
"Guys, I am well enough to do what I love best," she
pleaded. The all looked skeptical then she got an
idea. She used to do it to her dad all the time when
she wanted something.
"Please," she begged with puppydog eyes that no one
could resist.
"Oh alright," Yami said," I could never turn down 'the
look' or the duel."
They all helped her into Yami's car (yes, Yami does
have a car and yes, he can drive, because it is MY
story ^_^) and started their drive to the archade.
Outside, it was a beautiful day. The sun was shining
bright and the birds were singing. It's a nice
contrast form last night, Marie thought. Then she
remembered something. She looked down and saw that she
needed to go home because she needed to change. Her
pants and shirt were ripped and she smelled like the
dumpster.
"Hey Yami," she asked.
"Hmm," he said looking over at her briefly.
'I need to stop by my house and change real quick.
Besides, I just remembered that my deck is at home. Do
you think we could stop," she asked with pleading
eyes.
"I don't see why not," he said," just tell me how to
get there."
In no time they were at Marie's house. It was a cute
little house on the east side of the city. It was dard
blue with black shudders and a dark red door. It also
had a big front pourch. There was a chain link fence
around the back that connected to the garage.
"You can all come in and grab some sodas if you want,"
she said. They all agreed and followed her to the
house.
"Do I look ok," Maire asked hiding her stomach
bandages.
"Eh, sure," Yugi said," Just hide that neck bandage
and you will be fine."
"*gasp* Crap! You're right! Guess I had better come up
with a good story," she said with a little panic in
her voice.
"you could always tell them it is a new kind of
necklace," Marik suggested with a grin. They all
looked at him strangely.
"Ooor not," he said looking away.
"Here I go," she said opening the door.
She opened the door slowly, creeping in along with the
three boys close behind. Her house was bright and
beautiful on the inside. It had all pine wood floors
which sparkled in the sunlight. She was close to her
room wehn her mother spotted her. Marik could see
where Marie got her looks from. Her mother was a tall,
wise looking person with long strawberry blond hair
and lavender eyes.
"Oh I'm glad you are home," she smiled, Then she
spotted the three boys.
"Who are your friends Marie," she asked," and why is
there a bandage around your neck?"
"Oh hi Mom. UH...these are my new friends Yami and
Yugi Mottou and Marik Ishtar from school," she replied
nerviously," and I ...uh...... scratched my neck in a
pillow fight by accident. Heh heh."
"A pillow fight," her mother asked with one eyebrow
up.
"Yea remember? I had a study party with some girls
last night? Well thought we should take a break and it
errupted into a pillow fight and someone accidently
scrached me."
"Oh so how did you end up with...."
"Yami, Yugi, and Marik here? Uh, well, they uh...,"
she paused and looked back at them.
"We picked her up this morning, mam," Yami finished,"
she agreed to come with us to the archade becaues she
promised me a duel." They all smiled to top it off.
Real smooth guys, Marie thought with a grin.
"Oh ok. Her and her 'duel monsters' game," she said
sighing," It is wonderful to meet you boys."
"Likewise mam," Yugi replied in a silly old western
accent and Marik nodded.
"Well, how sweet. Would you boys like a soda?"
"Yes Mam," the boys replied in unison.
"Great, I will get them," she replied turning away,"
OH! and by the way Marie, honey, I want you to throw
your clothes down the shoot and don't forget you
promised to take Bruiser (I love the name!) to the
vet."
"Yes mother," she replied with a sigh," we will be in
my room."
"Ok honey," her mother replied from the kitchen.
"If you boys will follow me," Marie said with a smirk,
leading them up the stairs.
"Your mom is super nice," Yugi said.
"Yea, she's cool and she makes a mean bunch of
brownies. You will have to try them sometime," she
replied.
"Who's Bruiser," Yami asked as they approached the
door they assumed was her room.
"Oh he is my dog. Here Bruiser," she called. A
miniture pincher with a small spike collar approched
them as she lead them into her room.
"Guys," she said," meet Bruiser." She picked him up
for the boys to see.
"Interesting name for such a little guy," Marik said
amused.
"Don't let him fool you, he's pretty mean sometimes,"
she said putting him down.
"I'm sure," Marik said smirking.
"I like your room," Yugi said smiling. Yami and Marik
hadn't niticed it until Yugi said something. they
looked at it and gasped (I must have something for
gasping in this chappie).
It was a large tan colored room, painted entirely with
ancient Egyptian heiroglyphes and murels of cats and
Gods. In the corner boy one of her two windows stood a
bed and in the opposite corner was a good sized desk.
Next to that was a huge bookcase with books of Egypt,
myths, and other topic's on it's shelves. She had two
doors besides the entry to her room. One lead into a
big walk-in closet and the other lead to a medium
sized bathroom.
"Thank you Yugi," she said walking into her closet to
get some clothes," I painted it myself. I am not quite
finished. My cats need some final touches and my God's
need color."
"This is extraordinary," Yami said in awe," What does
it all mean?"
"Don't you know," she asked coming out of the closet.
Complete amusement was in her eyes and a smirk played
on her fine features.
"Uhh No. Heh heh ^_^;;. Why would I know? heh heh,"
Yami replied nerviously.
"These heirloglyphs tell a story. My favorite old
Egyptian myth," she said.
"Whis one is that," Marik asked.
"It tells the story about a common beggar girl of
purity and heart. She decides one day that she is
going to change her stars (maybe I watch knights tale
too much) and goes on a world traveling adventure.
Eventually she becomes so well known that the Pharaoh
is curious about her and went to see her for himself.
He was amazed at the courage and purity of this girl
so he packed his bags and decided to travel with her
and her mystical talking cat, who claims to hold the
spirit of a God who favored her. They go through many
challanges and troubles, but with the help of her good
friend, the Pharaoh, her God cat, and a mysterious
dark stranger, the girl is able defeat the ultimate
evil in a shadow game and restore the world's peace.
She goes back home and they find out that the stranger
was the Pharaoh's best body guard/ tomb keeper and
closest friend. The girl marries the body guard and
the Pharaoh makes her a high priest who stood next to
him for many years to come and all lived happily ever
after for the time being," she grinned.
"That is quite the story," Yami said.
"I like it. The moral is that our greatest power is
found in the decisions we make and that if we believe
enough, we can make our own destiny," she said heading
towards the bathroom. Just then her door opened and a
man with bright blond hair and bright blue eyes popped
his head in. He definately looked Egyptian.
"Hey kitten," he said smiling.
"Hey poppa cat," she replied," Daddy, these are my
friends Yami and Yugi Mottou and Marik Ishtar. Guys,
this is my daddy, Dr. Aisheem Innarah."
"Pleasure meetin you boys," Dad said with a hardy hand
shake for each.
"Pleasure meetin you too Doc," Marik said smilin.
"Hey," Aisheem said looking Marik up an down," you
look ...."
Oh no, Marie thought, here comes the twin obsevation
again. Marik was thinking the same thing.
"Egyptian," Aisheem finished with a smile. Aisheem
could tell that suprised Marik and Marie because their
face had wide eyed expressions and sweatdropped. Yami
looked amused while Yugi was stiffling laughter.
"Uh....that's because I am sir," Marik said still
suprised.
"I thought so. Well, the Mrs. told me to bring these
sodas in for ya. Enjoy," he said with a smile," and
you boys are welcome to any food in our home."
"Thanks daddy," Marie said
"No problem Kitten. I gotta go change that light bulb
in the garage. Your mother ahd been buggin me for
weeks to do it, but I have just been too darn busy,"
he said with a wink and left.
"K poppa cat," she smiled in returen. She went to the
bathromm and changed into a pair of kakhi cargo flairs
and a black sleeveless t-shirt with had a golden cat
on the front. She examined her stomach wound and neck
wound. Her neck was just a scratch but her stomach was
just a bit deeper. She changed her wrappings. She came
back out to see Marik sitting in the chair at her
desk, while Yugi and Yami sat on her bed. Yugi was
petting her fat lazy orange cat, Moses.
"You dad is cool," Marik said," You sure he is a
computer geek?"
"The term is 'technician',Marik," Shesaid frowning.
She picked up her clothes and put them in the laundry
shoot. She grabbed her dueling deck and put it in its
holder on her belt (much like Yami and Yugi's).
"This cat dosn't look like her does much," Yugi said
poking the cat.
"Nope. Moses is just my bed warmer," she said smiling
and grabbed the locket off her dresser and put it on.
None of the other guys noticed it. It was a golden
locket with the eye of Ra on it and it had a small
moonstone in the middle. She carefully tucked it under
her shirt.
"Ready to go," Yami asked.
"Yeah. I just need to ask my sister something," She
said grabbing her pop and heading out the door.
"Your sister, Hanna, right," Marik asked.
"So you were paying attention," she teased smirking.
"Comes and goes," he replied with a wave of his hand.
"How old is she," Yami asked
"Almost 16," she stated simply going down the stairs
and leading them to the living room. There sitting on
the couch was 15 year old Hanna. She had medium lenght
strawberry blond hair and lavender eyes, like her
mother. She was wearing dark jeans and a pink, white,
and black striped shirt. She was watching Dragonball Z
(1. that show ROCKS! 2. I don't own it *pouting*).
"Hey squirt," Marie teased. The girl looked at her and
glared.
"Hey sasquatch," she calmly replied. She looked at her
friends or more particularaly at Yami," who's your
friends?"
""This is Yami and Yugi and Marik. Guy's this is my
lil sis, Hanna," Marie said pointing to each person as
she named them. Hanna glanced at Marik and smirked.
"And I thought one Marie was enough," she sneered.
Charming, Marik thought rolling his eyes.
"Yeah yeah. Hey Brat, I'll pay ya $20 to take Bruiser
to the vet today," Marie said.
"No way," Hanna protested," take your own fleabag!"
"$25 and I'll tell you what really happened to me last
night when I get home," Marie said.
Hanna's face brightened with an evil grin," Done. So
where ya goin?"
"Archade," Marie replied," Yami thinks he can beat me
in a duel."
Hanna smirked at Yami," best of luck to ya."
"Don't worry I won't be needing it," he said with a
sly smirk," but thanks anyway."
"Whatever you say HAMI," Hanna replied and then went
back to staring at the TV again. She is a lot like
Marie, Yami thought amused, and she's cute too. I
wonder if she duels because she sure acts like a gamer
wehn it comes to it, again like her sister. As if
answering his thoughts, Marie said," I taught her how
to duel at a very young age. She is now almost as good
as I am."
"I had a feeling," Yami said," I would like to see if
she as good as you say she is later."
"You are more than welcome to Yami," Marie replied as
they walked across the lawn to Yami's car.
"She is charming non the less," Marik said
sarcastically.
"I thought she was nice," Yugi said.
"*psh* like a hungry vampire," Marie commented.
Marik and Yugi laughed as they climbed into the back
and Marie got in shotgun (front). Yami did not say a
word as he got into the drivers side, he just had his
gamers smirk on as he started the car.
I don't even want to know what he is thinking about,
Marie thought to herself as they drove away, heading
for the archade.
Yea so here is the ninth chappie ! FINALLY! Well I am
sorry readers but I cannot post the 2 chapters like I
thought I could. My day is just packed! I will try and
get chapter 10 up soon though I promise. Until then

"Yami, Yugi, and Marik here? Uh, well, they uh...,"
she paused and looked back at them.
"We picked her up this morning, mam," Yami finished,"
she agreed to come with us to the archade becaues she
promised me a duel." They all smiled to top it off.
Real smooth guys, Marie thought with a grin.
"Oh ok. Her and her 'duel monsters' game," she said
sighing," It is wonderful to meet you boys."
"Likewise mam," Yugi replied in a silly old western
accent and Marik nodded.
"Well, how sweet. Would you boys like a soda?"
"Yes Mam," the boys replied in unison.
"Great, I will get them," she replied turning away,"
OH! and by the way Marie, honey, I want you to throw
your clothes down the shoot and don't forget you
promised to take Bruiser (I love the name!) to the
vet."
"Yes mother," she replied with a sigh," we will be in
my room."
"Ok honey," her mother replied from the kitchen.
"If you boys will follow me," Marie said with a smirk,
leading them up the stairs.
"Your mom is super nice," Yugi said.
"Yea, she's cool and she makes a mean bunch of
brownies. You will have to try them sometime," she
replied.
"Who's Bruiser," Yami asked as they approached the
door they assumed was her room.
"Oh he is my dog. Here Bruiser," she called. A
miniture pincher with a small spike collar approched
them as she lead them into her room.
"Guys," she said," meet Bruiser." She picked him up
for the boys to see.
"Interesting name for such a little guy," Marik said
amused.
"Don't let him fool you, he's pretty mean sometimes,"
she said putting him down.
"I'm sure," Marik said smirking.
"I like your room," Yugi said smiling. Yami and Marik
hadn't niticed it until Yugi said something. they
looked at it and gasped (I must have something for
gasping in this chappie).
It was a large tan colored room, painted entirely with
ancient Egyptian heiroglyphes and murels of cats and
Gods. In the corner boy one of her two windows stood a
bed and in the opposite corner was a good sized desk.
Next to that was a huge bookcase with books of Egypt,
myths, and other topic's on it's shelves. She had two
doors besides the entry to her room. One lead into a
big walk-in closet and the other lead to a medium
sized bathroom.
"Thank you Yugi," she said walking into her closet to
get some clothes," I painted it myself. I am not quite
finished. My cats need some final touches and my God's
need color."
"This is extraordinary," Yami said in awe," What does
it all mean?"
"Don't you know," she asked coming out of the closet.
Complete amusement was in her eyes and a smirk played
on her fine features.
"Uhh No. Heh heh ^_^;;. Why would I know? heh heh,"
Yami replied nerviously.
"These heirloglyphs tell a story. My favorite old
Egyptian myth," she said.
"Whis one is that," Marik asked.
"It tells the story about a common beggar girl of
purity and heart. She decides one day that she is
going to change her stars (maybe I watch knights tale
too much) and goes on a world traveling adventure.
Eventually she becomes so well known that the Pharaoh
is curious about her and went to see her for himself.
He was amazed at the courage and purity of this girl
so he packed his bags and decided to travel with her
and her mystical talking cat, who claims to hold the
spirit of a God who favored her. They go through many
challanges and troubles, but with the help of her good
friend, the Pharaoh, her God cat, and a mysterious
dark stranger, the girl is able defeat the ultimate
evil in a shadow game and restore the world's peace.
She goes back home and they find out that the stranger
was the Pharaoh's best body guard/ tomb keeper and
closest friend. The girl marries the body guard and
the Pharaoh makes her a high priest who stood next to
him for many years to come and all lived happily ever
after for the time being," she grinned.
"That is quite the story," Yami said.
"I like it. The moral is that our greatest power is
found in the decisions we make and that if we believe
enough, we can make our own destiny," she said heading
towards the bathroom. Just then her door opened and a
man with bright blond hair and bright blue eyes popped
his head in. He definately looked Egyptian.
"Hey kitten," he said smiling.
"Hey poppa cat," she replied," Daddy, these are my
friends Yami and Yugi Mottou and Marik Ishtar. Guys,
this is my daddy, Dr. Aisheem Innarah."
"Pleasure meetin you boys," Dad said with a hardy hand
shake for each.
"Pleasure meetin you too Doc," Marik said smilin.
"Hey," Aisheem said looking Marik up an down," you
look ...."
Oh no, Marie thought, here comes the twin obsevation
again. Marik was thinking the same thing.
"Egyptian," Aisheem finished with a smile. Aisheem
could tell that suprised Marik and Marie because their
face had wide eyed expressions and sweatdropped. Yami
looked amused while Yugi was stiffling laughter.
"Uh....that's because I am sir," Marik said still
suprised.
"I thought so. Well, the Mrs. told me to bring these
sodas in for ya. Enjoy," he said with a smile," and
you boys are welcome to any food in our home."
"Thanks daddy," Marie said
"No problem Kitten. I gotta go change that light bulb
in the garage. Your mother ahd been buggin me for
weeks to do it, but I have just been too darn busy,"
he said with a wink and left.
"K poppa cat," she smiled in returen. She went to the
bathromm and changed into a pair of kakhi cargo flairs
and a black sleeveless t-shirt with had a golden cat
on the front. She examined her stomach wound and neck
wound. Her neck was just a scratch but her stomach was
just a bit deeper. She changed her wrappings. She came
back out to see Marik sitting in the chair at her
desk, while Yugi and Yami sat on her bed. Yugi was
petting her fat lazy orange cat, Moses.
"You dad is cool," Marik said," You sure he is a
computer geek?"
"The term is 'technician',Marik," Shesaid frowning.
She picked up her clothes and put them in the laundry
shoot. She grabbed her dueling deck and put it in its
holder on her belt (much like Yami and Yugi's).
"This cat dosn't look like her does much," Yugi said
poking the cat.
"Nope. Moses is just my bed warmer," she said smiling
and grabbed the locket off her dresser and put it on.
None of the other guys noticed it. It was a golden
locket with the eye of Ra on it and it had a small
moonstone in the middle. She carefully tucked it under
her shirt.
"Ready to go," Yami asked.
"Yeah. I just need to ask my sister something," She
said grabbing her pop and heading out the door.
"Your sister, Hanna, right," Marik asked.
"So you were paying attention," she teased smirking.
"Comes and goes," he replied with a wave of his hand.
"How old is she," Yami asked
"Almost 16," she stated simply going down the stairs
and leading them to the living room. There sitting on
the couch was 15 year old Hanna. She had medium lenght
strawberry blond hair and lavender eyes, like her
mother. She was wearing dark jeans and a pink, white,
and black striped shirt. She was watching Dragonball Z
(1. that show ROCKS! 2. I don't own it *pouting*).
"Hey squirt," Marie teased. The girl looked at her and
glared.
"Hey sasquatch," she calmly replied. She looked at her
friends or more particularaly at Yami," who's your
friends?"
""This is Yami and Yugi and Marik. Guy's this is my
lil sis, Hanna," Marie said pointing to each person as
she named them. Hanna glanced at Marik and smirked.
"And I thought one Marie was enough," she sneered.
Charming, Marik thought rolling his eyes.
"Yeah yeah. Hey Brat, I'll pay ya $20 to take Bruiser
to the vet today," Marie said.
"No way," Hanna protested," take your own fleabag!"
"$25 and I'll tell you what really happened to me last
night when I get home," Marie said.
Hanna's face brightened with an evil grin," Done. So
where ya goin?"
"Archade," Marie replied," Yami thinks he can beat me
in a duel."
Hanna smirked at Yami," best of luck to ya."
"Don't worry I won't be needing it," he said with a
sly smirk," but thanks anyway."
"Whatever you say HAMI," Hanna replied and then went
back to staring at the TV again. She is a lot like
Marie, Yami thought amused, and she's cute too. I
wonder if she duels because she sure acts like a gamer
wehn it comes to it, again like her sister. As if
answering his thoughts, Marie said," I taught her how
to duel at a very young age. She is now almost as good
as I am."
"I had a feeling," Yami said," I would like to see if
she as good as you say she is later."
"You are more than welcome to Yami," Marie replied as
they walked across the lawn to Yami's car.
"She is charming non the less," Marik said
sarcastically.
"I thought she was nice," Yugi said.
"*psh* like a hungry vampire," Marie commented.
Marik and Yugi laughed as they climbed into the back
and Marie got in shotgun (front). Yami did not say a
word as he got into the drivers side, he just had his
gamers smirk on as he started the car.
I don't even want to know what he is thinking about,
Marie thought to herself as they drove away, heading
for the archade.
