Too Hard a Question!

Fala- Hey Kiri, has anyone ever asked you a really personal question and it was just too hard to answer it? Kiri- Um, let me think. YEAH! Fala- Well, what was it? Kiri- Hey do you want to talk about this or continue the story!? Fala- That bad huh? Kiri- Do you want the story or not?

Fala- Alright. alright. *shifty eyes and evil grin *

**Marik**

He couldn't answer her question. Maybe he did have feelings for her. *Not possible! I mean. she. I. it's not possible * He stood quietly. Serenity changed the subject.

"The waves are so beautiful." She said quietly.

"Serenity?" He said slowly contemplating how he was going to ask her out.

"Yes?" she replied quietly, but quickly.

"Um. I was wondering.if."

"Yes?"

"If you would like to. I don't know. maybe. get dinner with me tonight?" *that's it! I'm dead! There's no way she's going to say yes! Someone like her? No way! * She was stunned. "You know," he continued, "to get to know each other better."

"Why me?" she asked confused.

"I guess, because, you're the only person who will really give me an honest chance. I know Yugi says that he wants us to get along. but I'm not entirely sure that he wants me around."

"But why me?"

"Because your different than the others. I know that you'll give me an honest chance." She blushed and looked away. "I'm sorry." He said after a few minutes. "I know that it's really random and you'll probably say no. I'm sorry for wasting your time." She thought a few moments.

"Sure." She finally said.

"What?" Marik said surprised.

"Why not? You seem nice and I would like to get to know you." She smiled. He looked stunned and shocked but upon her eyes meeting his he smiled as well.

"I'll call you tonight then?" he asked.

"Alright. See you tonight." She said finally. She stood up straight and walked past Marik, accidentally brushing her hand against his and sending chills up his spine. He watched her leave. *She's so beautiful and sweet. Maybe it is possible. to care for someone... and have a chance with someone like her. *

**Ishizu**

He took her further and further off the path into the forest. He seemed to know exactly where he was going though. * I wonder what's going on * Finally he stopped, turning to look full into Ishizu's face. She looked around, "What did you have to ask me that included you having to drag me out into the middle of nowhere?" He gulped and stuck a hand in his pocket in an attempt to look unnerved. She smiled and shrugged. "So what did you want to ask me?"

"Look, Ishizu. we haven't.. we didn't start off on the right foot I think." He finally said.

"Really?"

"Still," he said ignoring her comment, "I think that maybe we could make that better."

"How?"

"Would you like to go out with me tonight. you know to start from the beginning?" she stood shocked and thought full for a moment. *I do kind of like him. And it would give us a chance to start again the right way *

"Alright." She said "On one term though."

"And what would that be."

"Well two terms. One, I have to ask my brother if it's alright. And two, you have to be on your best behavior." She grinned at her last comment.

"Alright." He knew what Marik would say. "Then, check with your brother and I'll call you tonight." "Alright." She said and they both turned in opposite directions and left. *I hope he really meant that. Maybe we could be friends. I wouldn't mind getting to know him better. Than I already do I mean. *
