**Hey everyone! I'm BAAAACK. Lol! I hope you all had great holidays. I did,
except for the part at the end where I got the flu. Yea , that sucked. Well
as promised I have a few more chapters to the story. I am hoping to get it
all done by the end of the week, but with semester tests and all don't hold
me to my word. I am going to be a busy girl. He he. As always I do not own
Yu-Gi-Oh in any way, shape, or form. Now on with the story.**
The Date
The next morning, Marie woke up in a better mood than she had ever felt,
considering it was morning. She stretched and yawned, scratching her cat on
the head.
"Morning Moses," she said getting out of bed and rushing to the closet. She
put on a mango colored button up shirt and beige pants on with black
leather platform sandals. She went over to her mirror and brushed her messy
platnium hair, putting it into a french braid. Normally, she would have
left it down but since Marik was giving her the tour on a motor cycle, she
thought better of it. To top off the braid, she put a couple of orange
glass butterfly pins in hair. Once she approved of her outfit, she skipped
downstairs and joined her family for breakfast.
"Good morning family," she chirped as she took her seat at the table.
"Get ready for Apocalypse," her sister said dully.
"Quiet Hannah! Your sister is in a good mood this morning," her mother
scolded.
"Hm and what are you in this mood my dear sister," her sister asked
snydely.
"Well, today I am getting a tour of Domino from my friend, Marik," Marie
said happily, buttering some toast.
"By that annoying tone, I'd say that he is a lot more than a friend,"
Hannah said crosssing her arms with a smirk.
"Can it shrimp," Marie snapped.
"Girls please," their mother said.
"When are you going sweetheart," her father asked.
"Later on this afternoon," she said," well, if you will excuse me I want to
tidy my room a little, oh and Hannah, I may need your help."
"Help yourself," she said with a wave of her hand.
"But remember our deal yeseteday? I have certain DETAILS to tell you
about," She said with a wink. Hannah gave your a your-out-of-your-mind look
when suddenly it clicked.
"Ohhh right. Uh Mar and I need to go," Hannah said as she got up. Then her
and Marie rushed up the stairs. The parents just looked at each other and
shrugged. The girls made it to the room as they closed the door.
"Ok Mar, spill it," Hannah demanded with her hands on her hips.
"You might want to sit down for this," Marie said. Hannah obeyed as Marie
told the story of wanting to suprise Marik, being ambushed, waking up in
his house, and the new mission that layed before them now that they found
the holder of the gauntlett. When Marie had finished, Hannah sat shocked.
"So you saying that if we don't win the world is doomed," Hannah asked.
"Yep," Marie said.
"Very heavy," Hanna said.
"We are going to need all the help we can get. Especially yours Hannah,"
Marie said with a sigh.
"Well, once again, dear sister, you have to rely on me to get you out of
trouble," Hanna said coyly.
"Don't flatter yourself," she said narrowing her eyes. Her sister just
grinned at her.
"Am I interrupting something," came a deep voice from the now open door.
Both sisters spun around to see Marik leaning in the doorway. He was
dressed in a simple tight white t-shirt and blue gargo jeans with a long
leather jacket.
"Sibling quarrell, I'm afraid," Marie said with a grin," Familiar?"
"All too fimiliar," Marik said returning the grin," Oh what fun those are."
"Ugh, I'm leaving before I blow chunks from seeing the amazing drooling
twins," Hannah said with a disgusted look as she pushed past Marik.
"Have I already told you how charming I find your little sister to be," he
asked sarcastically.
"Hmm," she said with a nod of her head. Then she grabbed her coat saying,"
well, let's go. I'm starving and the city awaits."
"After you beautiful," he said moving to one side so she could pass. She
smiled as he lead her out to his shiny cranberry colored Harley. It
sparkled in the sun.
"Wow," Marie said," She's a beaut!"
"Allow me to introduce, my baby," he said handing her a helmet.
"I love it," she said with a bright smile as she joined him on the bike,
wrapping her arms around Marik's waist, causing both their stomach's to
jump.
"Ready," he asked over his shoulders.
"Take me away," she said smiling. He grinned and reved it up before putting
it into gear and speeding away into the city. They sped along the river
bank and over the bridge as Marik smiled at the gasps coming from his
partner. They made it to a lovely little italian restaurant near the river
and ate on one of the terraces over looking it. It was a truely beautiful
sight and Marie loved the food.
"What a perfect choise, Marik," she said smiling at him, "Thank you."
"My pleasure," he said gracefully eating like a gentleman," Too bad Ishizu
can't see me now. I can just hear her saying, 'why can't you act like that
at our dinner table?' " He grinned as he immitated her voice. Marie
laughed. After dinner, much to Marie's protests, Marik picked up the entire
check, and they sped off on his motorcycle. He showed her the mall, the
library, many of the other restaurant spots, and many of the museums,
including the one his sister owned. He told her of battle city and how it
related to the stone tablet. But he left out the part about him and being
the owner of the winged dragon of Ra.
"So who has all the God cards now," she aksed as she studied the tablet
further.
"Yami does. It is a good thing too. Those cards in the wrong hands could be
disasterous," he responded," they are way too powerful."
"Awsome," she said. Then she went over to a traditional ancient party dress
worn by ancient Egyptian noblewoman. It was beatiful assortment of reds,
whites, golds, and blues.
"Wow," she said," I love the colors of that dress. It is so beautiful."
"Yes," Marik said looking at his watch," But if you think this is
beautiful, there is something I would like to show you." He took her hand
and led her out of the museum to his bike.
"Where are we going Marik," she asked putting on the helmet.
" I can't tell you," he said with a mischevious smirk," It is a suprise."
"Shibi," she said happily, getting on and holding tight. He sped away and
intended to take the tunnel to where he was going but he forgot about
rushhour.
"Dang," he said seeing all the traffic," We'll never make it in time.
Unless......"
He smirked and evil smirk and Marie could see a mischevious glint in his
eyes.
"Unless what Marik," she asked almost in a frightened tone. She knew what
he was capable of.
"Hang on," was all he said before he sped up really fast and cut in and out
of the lines of traffic. He was going faster and faster in between truck,
cars, and cemi's with some really close calls. Marie squeeled, closed her
eyes tightly, and clutched on to this crazy teen for dear life. Marik
started singing a Good Charolette's Girls and Boys as he was speeding along
the tunnel.
"Are you insane," she asked frantically.
"Yes," he answered simply with a chuckle.
"Well that's always good to know, when you have already GOTTEN ON THE
BIKE," she screamed.
"Relax," he said narrowly missing being clipped by a car," you are safe as
long as I am here."
" That's comforting," she said sarcastically,"well, I hope whatever it is,
it is worth risking both or necks for."
"Trust me," he said," not worth your life but pretty dang close."
Finally, they escaped all the traffic and were back on the open road. They
headed up mand hills until they stopped at a flat off the top of a giant
hill. This flat overlooked all of Domino and the ocean. On the horizon, the
sun was setting in an explosion of colors. Marie gasped at the beauty of it
all.
"Well," Marik asked with a smirk watching her walk toward the edge.
"This is wonderful," she said breathlessly. The breeze picked up her
platnium bangs as it filled her senses with the salty sea air.
"I come here to get away from the world," Marik said placing his helmet on
the handlebar, "Not many people know about it."
"Out of it all, this is the best part of Domino I have seen all day," she
said smiling, "It is beautiful."
She felt strong arms wrap around her waist. She smiled as a shiver went
down her spine.
"You're wrong again," he whispered into her ear which made her want to
melt, "You are definately more beautiful."
She blushed as he turned her around and captured her lips in a soft and
passionate kiss. She responded by wrapping her arms around his neck and
deepining the kiss. They continued to kiss until they heard a scream. Marie
and Marik rushed to the edge.
"What was that," she asked looking over the edge.
"Oh," Marik said in realization, "that is just the amusement park down
there. It is called Wonder World." He pointed to the flashing lights and
zooming of rollarcoasters below.
"Ohhh," she said with a smile, "That looks like sooo much fun! Can we go?"
"Sure," he said taking her hand. They got back on his bike and zoomed off
to Wonder World. They got there in no time and bought all night passes.
"What should we go on first, Mr. Domino Expert," she asked with a sly
smirk.
"Well, if you have week stomachs, den I suggest the kiddy rides, but if you
are strong bowled, like us, den we shall show ya's the kicken rides," came
a heavily New York accented voice from behing them (yes I know Joey is
probably not from New York but go with me here ^_^). They spun around and
saw the gang.
"Hey guys," Marie said happily, "What are you doing here?"
"The same think you are, DUH," Tristan said with a smile.
"What about you guys," Yugi asked with a sly smirk, noticing, the two love
birds holding hands.Ryou noticed this too and a flash of hurt went into his
chocolate eyes.
"I was taking Marie here, on a little tour of Domino. She decided that this
looked like fun," Marik said.
"Mind if we join you," Yami asked.
"Not at all," Marie said recieving a nod of approval from Marik. They were
all walking along discussing what rides to go on, when Marie felt someone
pull her back gently.
"What the.......Ryou? What's wrong," she asked at his painful expression.
"I suppose you and Marik are getting pretty close huh," he asked sadly
looking down.
"Well, I guess you could say that," she said.
"Are you two a couple," he asked hastilly looking at her with big brown
puppy dog eyes. She looked down blushing.
"I...I'm not sure," she said honestly.
"But, how can you be 'not sure'? I mean, you're here with him when
otherwise you would have been alone or with us. That would be like a date
and...." he started ranting with a hint of tears in his eyes.
"Woah Ryou! Slow down. Why are you getting so worked up about this," she
asked. She say the glimmer of tears in the lights of the park. He turned
his head and looked toward the ocean with a deep sigh. She then knew what
was wrong.
"Oh Ryou," she said in remorse.
"I've never met anyone like you Marie," he said looing into her eyes and
taking her hands in his, "You are charming, smart, funny, and beautiful. A
girl like you doesn't just come waltzing into my life everyday."
"Ryou," she said softly, "You are a truely wonderful and handsome young
man. Any girl would be lucky to even get a date with you. But I love what
we have now. We have such a strong friendship and I don't want a silly
thing like love to make it all....wierd. You know?"
He nodded slowly as he looked to his feet. She took a finger under his chin
and made him look at her again.
"Don't worry my dear friend. With a heart and a face like yours, the right
fish will come swimming into your life sooner than you know. I promise that
I will do everything I can to help you get that fish," she said with a
smile. He smiled at her as she winked and gently chucked him under the
chin.
"So we're cool right," she asked.
"You know it," he said hugging her. She hugged him back before they both
went and joined up with the group at the Death Star rollarcoaster. She felt
a hand slip into hers as she turned to see two sparkling violets.
"What was that all about," Marik asked.
"Ryou and I just had a friendly chat. He had a problem so I helped him,"
she responded.
"Ahh," Marik replied with a nod, " you were always the sweet, help-out-a-
friend type."
"You say that like it is a bad thing," she said.
"Nope," he said shaking his head with a grin, "In fact, it's one of your
more sexy qualities."
"Oh behave," she responded copying his grin.
They all had a really great night full of rides and food. The funniest part
was when Joey went on the rollarcoaster after a nacho grande, but Tristin
didn't think it was so funny. When it got late, Marik took Marie home, but
she fell asleep on the way. So Marik carried her into the house (which her
parents thought was super sweet but Hannah just rolled her eyes) and tucked
her in to bed. With a quick kiss on the forehead, he left for home with a
smile all the way.
**Whew! Finally done with that one. I really like this chapter myself. What
do you think? Love it? Hate it? Suggestions? Review and let me know. Peace!
