Airimis: I'm back! Thank you for the review! Here's the next chapter!
Please review after to tell me what you think!
I like you even more now
"Please sit on my bed." Mimiki did as she was told. "I believe that we didn't introduce ourselves. My name is Ishizu. It's nice to see you again." "My name is Mimiki and it is also a pleasure to see you again Ishizu." She said politely. "Your full name is Mimiki? Why does Marik call you Mimi?" "He likes calling me that and he asked if he could call me that." She said. "That's nice. Mimiki what do you think about my brother?" "Well, he's nice, active, sweet and a little protective."
Ishizu paused for a minute. "Protective? How was he acting?" she asked with curiosity. "Well I turned red earlier and he thought I had a fever and he kept on asking questions like if I was alright and I told him not to worry and he wouldn't give up on it." 'That's strange..he never did that before.' Ishizu thought to herself. "Excuse him for that Mimiki. He's never done that before. I'm sorry if he did anything to hurt you." "He didn't do anything to hurt me. He was just seeing if I was alright. That's what friends do right?"
Ishizu paused again. "Yes." They sat in silence. 'My brother is getting attached to Mimiki now. I'm happy for him.' "I will go get Marik for you. It was nice meeting you." "It was nice meeting you too." Ishizu walked to Marik's room, unaware of what he was doing. When she peeked her head in his room, she saw him drawing a picture. "What are you doing?" Marik stopped and turned around to find his sister.
"Nothing! I was just waiting for you and Mimi to finish your conversion!!" "Oh really?" "Yes really." He said with a glare. "Then what does this picture mean in particular?" she asked suspiciously. "Nothing! None of your business!" he said hiding it. "Marik you know that you can't hide anything from me. Now show me the picture." Marik didn't fight with his sister cause he knew it was wrong, and besides, she would find a way to get him back anyway.
Marik handed her the picture. Ishizu was amazed at what he drew. It was a picture of him and Mimiki holding hands saying "I love you" at the bottom with hearts around it. She turned to her brother, while he turned away, thinking that she'll yell at him for liking Mimiki. "Go ahead and yell at so we can get this over with." He muttered. "Marik....I don't plan on yelling at you. You really like her do you?" "Yes.." "Then why don't you tell her? From what I've heard, she really likes you." Marik sat in silence. "No she doesn't." he said sadly.
"She probably thinks that I'm too wild, that I'm not handsome in her eyes, or that I'm not the type of boy she likes. She'll never like me." Ishizu felt sorry for her brother. "Marik, don't have your hopes down. If she didn't like you, she would be with you." "You do have a point. I'm going to get Mimi now." With that he left to go get her.
Marik walked down the hall to find his friend. As he got closer to his sister's room, he heard some singing. "Who's singing?" He peeked his head in the room. It was Mimiki singing!
"Please don't leave me
Cause you're the only one for me."
Marik blushed as he heard the singing. 'Her singing is beautiful..' "Marik did you just hear me sing?" Marik's eyes opened wide as he turned to the girl. 'I really hope that he didn't hear that singing.' Mimiki hoped in her mind. "Um..yes I heard you sing.." he said. "It was bad, wasn't it?" she asked in disappointment. "No, I don't think that it was bad. Your singing is...beautiful!"
Mimiki blushed afterwards. "You really think so?" "Yeah!" he said. "Thank you! You're the first person to ever like my singing besides my family." "You're welcome. If you want to, I can take you home." He said. "No that's ok. I don't want to go home yet." She said with a smile. "Mimi...what kind of person do you think I am?" "Well, you're sweet, nice, active, and...handsome." She said with a blush. Marik started blushing.
"What kind of person do you think I am?" she asked. "Well you're nice, pretty and kind. I like it when you smile and your singing. It suits you well." Mimiki blushed. "Is something wrong?" he asked. "No, no I'm alright." "Are you sure? If you don't feel well, I can take you home." "Yes. I'm alright. Don't worry." She said hoping that he'll stop asking questions like before. "Ok then." Mimiki sighed. 'He fell for it.' She thought happily.
"Ok then what do you want to do?" "Can you teach me how to read ancient scriptures? My dad is an archeologist and they found some things about it and can't read it and I want to help." She said. "Well I can teach you but it might take a while for you to learn." "I don't care! I like challenges! I already know how to speak, read, and write in Japanese. It was a challenge, but it was fun and I liked it!" she said happily. "Ok then. Do you want to get started now?" "Yeah! Let's get started!"
He grabbed her hand and ran off to his room. Marik started teaching her the basics and then so on. About and couple of hours later, she knew how to read the basics and some intermediate things as well. "Yay! I'm at the intermediate level!" "No way! How come you advanced a lot faster than me?!?" "Um..I don't know..maybe it's beginners' luck." She said. Marik looked at her. He put his fist on top of her head and looked again. "Well you do look like the kind of person that can learn things really quick." "So what are you trying to say?"
"Nothing. Just that you are a quick learner." He said. "Yeah right." "I'm not lying!" "I didn't say that you were lying." She said. "I no that but I'm not lying!" Mimiki walked over to him. "You exaggerate way too much." Then she pushed him on his bed. "It's getting late. I gotta go home." "I'll take you home." "I'll be ok." "I'll take you home." He said. "Ok. Whatever you say." They walked out of Marik's room to the entrance.
Marik opened the door and closed it. Ishizu and Odeon heard the door shut. "He's taking her home. That's nice of him." Odeon said. "Yes it is nice of him to do. I'm certain that they'll be the best of friends." "Me too."
*~*~*
It was close to nightfall when they arrived at Mimiki's house. "Thanks for walking me home Marik and thank you for teaching me about ancient scriptures. I enjoyed it." "I enjoyed it too Mimi." He said blushing. He gave her a hug to say goodbye. They both blushed afterwards. "Goodbye Mimi." "Good bye Marik." "Well I'd better go before Ishizu and Odeon start to worry." Then he started to walk back in the direction of his home.
"Wait!" Marik stopped walking and turned around. "What's wrong?" She walked up to him and gave him a kiss on his cheek. Marik blushed big time and so did she. "I'm sorry..I didn't have the right to do that." "No, no. It's alright. Goodnight." "Goodnight." She went inside and went to her room with a flushed face. "Mimiki you've been gone all day. What have you been doing?" "Oh! Mom! Why are you here?!?"
"I just wanted to know why you were out from daylight till nightfall." "I..was just hanging out with a friend!" she said. "Oh really?" "Yes.." "Now tell me what you were doing." Her mom said while sitting on her bed. "Ok." She said sitting up on her bed. "I have been playing with a friend." "Oh? What's your friend's name?" she asked. 'Oh no.' she thought. "His name is Marik!" she said. "Is he a good friend to you so far?" "Yes." "Can I meet him?" she asked. 'Oh crap.' "I'll ask him to come when I see him tomorrow." She said
"Ok then. I'm sure you're father will be happy to meet him too." "NO! Not daddy! He'll embarrass me and him by asking a whole bunch of questions!" she said. "Don't worry Mimiki. I'll tell him not to do that when we see him." "Thank you mom." "You're welcome. Goodnight." She said as she closed the door. "Goodnight." Mimiki changed into her night clothes and got into her bed. "I hope that everything goes alright tomorrow.' Then she fell asleep.
