MARS
Yay! 12 reviews! ^_^ I never thought people would read my story... since my other one was like a failure... and the other one, I don't think people like it -_- And I'm almost done with book one ^_^ This is the last chapter of book one, so yeah... I had this big urge to download this song, I'm not sure you heard of it, it's called "You're Gonna Love Me," by Jennifer Holliday. That's the song right there... I remember on Fresh Prince how will imitated the song. That was funny... funny show too... Well, I don't own Yuu-Gi-Oh nor MARS, nor the titles of the chapters...

-...Because it was beautiful... and so intriguing. It's awesome...-
-If you're planning on throwing it away... do you think... I could have it?-
-No wonder he wanted it. He doesn't have a mother... She died when he was young, so he doesn't remember her-
'That picture... I can't paint it anymore...' "I'm sorry Malik..."
Mai watched the crying girl speak, before the weight against her fingers. "I'm sorry I can't give you that painting..." Her eyes closed, waiting for the pressure to be pressed against her small, fragile finger.
Malik continued to run. 'Damn that girl...' he cursed in his mind. He reached the weight room. He pushed open the door, and scanned around the room. He saw her, crying away the fright and terror that took over her body. Her glasses were a few feet away from her, and a dumbbell was before. Anzu held her almost-demolished hand close to her, treasuring it.
He walked up to the girl, that's when he saw her look up. The tears continued to streak down her face, damping her delicate flesh. "Malik..." she said in a bare whisper. He knelt down to her, bringing up both of her hands to him, seeing if they were alright. He looked back at her, still continuing to gasp for air after he ran for quite a while and distance. "I'm okay... They just threaten me..." Anzu mumbled. 'There isn't anything to worry about... I'm not important enough to be worried about... So... why does he still look at me like that...?'
Malik brought a hand around her upper back, as the other one went down to her lower back, pressing her firmly to him. Anzu flinched at the embrace, and hugged back. "Malik...?" a remote voice said.
Malik glanced his head up, only to see his best friend, Jou, standing at the entrance. He let of the girl, slightly pushing her back, as she did the same.
~
"She only have a few scrapes and brusies," the nurse said as she placed a blanket over the sleeping child. "I know you were playing around, but to push her down the stairs..." she turned around to the two boys, "You have to be more careful. She's a girl, you should not be so reckless. Did you two say sorry?"
"Yes..." the two chorused as they exited the nurse's office.
"I had no idea..." Jou began to say. "That they were being so aggressive. I would have never let her go, if I had known. Am I so unmindful?"
"It's not your fault..." Malik replied in a monotone voice.
"But still! I was RIGHT there. Why didn't she say anything!?"
"She can't say anything. Even if she did, they'll get her worse next time. She's trapped."
"So all you're saying is shut the hell up and watch!?"
Malik took a sharp look at his friend. "You don't get it, do you? It's going to have the opposite effect."
"So what are we suppose to do?"
"Only wait... until they get over it..."
Jou felt the anger rise in him. The girl, who he started to desperately like, was getting bullied, even worse than that, but the only thing to do is just wait. He balled his fists out of frustrations. "You... You're just sitting there, calmly breaking it down... It's all your fault you know."
"I know..." the tanned boy replied, glancing at the floor.
"I'll never forgive you if anything happens to Anzu..."

~If I cry for a week... will you forgive me if I'm in love with Malik?~
'I can't believe those words came out... But I was so scared, I didn't know what to do...'
Anzu pulled the covers over her. 'But... It's more than a crush now... I'm in love with him...'
"Nee-chan!" Ryou cried out as he entered the room.
Anzu sat up, to be greeted by her younger brother. She smiled lightly, hoping to help him calm down. "Sorry..."
He walked closer to his sister, reaching a pale hand to hers. "What happened...?"
"Nothing really... just an accident..."
"I'm not going to track... I'll make sure you get home safely."
Anzu waved her hands in protest. "It's all right. Really, just a few scrapes,"
"But still..."
"You should go back to class... you shouldn't be late over me..."
"Okay... I'll come back by after school..."
Anzu replied back with a smile and drifted off to sleep. Ryou left the nurse office, his mind conversating with his other self.
{So... should we go after this girl?}
[No! ]
{You know she did this... that girl. She threatened Anzu}
[I don't want you coming out... so stop doing everything you can to release yourself.]
Ryou sighed deeply, relaxing himself. 'Not letting him get to me helps suppress him even more... I have to ignore him...'

"I think Anzu is still in the nurse's office," a girl said to Mai, who sitting down. "Why'd you run away like that? Not like you to get scared,"
"Shut up!" Mai snapped.
She turned around, seeing Malik before, a serious look on his features. She knew he wanted to talk.
~
"Malik, I'm not going to apologize." Mai said as she stood by the pool.
"I'm not getting you to." he replied, stuffing his hands in his pocket. "And first off, Anzu isn't even my girl. So what the hell are you so concerned about? What are you so pissed off about? What did she even do to you?"
Mai turned her back on him, and replied. "Nothing, but don't you get pissed off for no reason at times? Just seeing her... I get so mad."
"...She's not as weak as you think..." He smirked. "She must be tough, if you couldn't even lay your hands on her. I'm pretty impressed."
Mai's eye's widen for that second, after hearing the words of not laying a finger upon the girl. She turned to Malik, glaring at him coldly. "Don't pull that shit with me. It was only a threat this time. Who knows what I'll do next..."
"That's fine... Do whatever you like... But I'll avenge her by killing you..." His voice became empty, and frozen.
Mai stood there from the threaten, and smiled afterwards. "That's a laugh! You couldn't do it Malik,"
"Why not?" replying in the same voice.
"Because... that would m-make you a murderer. You'd b-be a criminal..." hesitating on a few words from his relaxed manner.
"So what?"
Malik was serious. Every doubt in her mind quickly vanish as she heard him shrugged off her words. His presence became cold, and uninviting. His eyes became remote and void, nothing with the sign of living displayed. "You're...serious? I can't believe that... you would do such a thing!"
"I never thought I would find myself in such a situation. I guess this is how these things happens. But for now, let us see how far we can push this."
Malik walked passed Mai, who was still standing in slight disbelief of the conversation. "To be honest, I do not know how confident I am... seeing that I have never murder anyone before..." With that, he left, leaving Mai a trembling Mai behind.
Her quivering legs gave, letting her fall on the dirt. Her hands ruffled through her locks, tears making their way down her cheeks. "You... have to be joking Malik!"
Jou spotted Mai by the pool as he saw Malik walking by him. He took a seat by Mai. "Don't be shocked that Malik's pissed off... You're the one who took it so far. Why would you ever do that to Anzu?"
"Anzu was... in the way." she replied softly, the tears finishing crying their way out. "It's not fair! I waited so long for him to look my way... Since we first started school, Malik always went with older girls. I didn't want to make the first move because I scared that he would think I'm too young. Then she moves here and starts following him around!"
"You're wrong. Malik made the first move. It's just a game to him,"
"NO IT'S NOT!" her tears began wash over her cheeks once more. "This time it's different. I noticed... since I've been watching him and her this whole time. I've never noticed him this way. His eyes... they're so soft and filled with pity. He seems, so bleakly sad when he looks at her sometimes. I know it's ephemeral, but it's enough to make my heart ache."
Jou felt himself slightly steamed and embarrassed. His best friend has feelings for her... "He hasn't said anything..."
You should go for Anzu
"She just pisses me off! When I was about to smash her fingers, she was thinking of Malik, not herself... Those two are drawn to each other and don't even realize it! It doesn't happen all the time... It's so obvious."
She turned her head toward the taller boy, desperately wanting him to answer her question she was going to ask. "Jounouchi, have you ever been afraid of Malik?"
He looked down. "Yeah. He feels like a different person at times... He gets so serious, with that cold, murderous look in his eyes."
'I've seen that look just then...'
I'll avenge her by killing you.... I guess this is how these things happens. But for now, let us see how far we can push this,"
"How could you be friends with him?"
"He's... really a good guy. As long as he's not your enemy. You should let it go Mai, you can't play at his level..."
I don't think there's a woman in this world that could spar with him...

She held her right hand close to her, as she dropped her pencil in the process. 'My right hand... It's a miracle I'm even holding a pencil right now...' She picked her pencil and continued writing her homework. 'Not being able to draw... I can never imagine that... But at least my feet weren't smashed, then my love of dancing would be ruined...' She chuckled a bit, then her face flushed with sorrow as she brought her hand to her lips.
'But still... when I heard the sound of his heart... It feels like I would care... But Ryou... I can't forget about-'
A ruffled sound filled her head as it became louder. The engine stopped as soon as Anzu realized what it was. 'A motorcycle? It can't be!' She ran up to the window, slight pressing herself on it. 'Malik!'
Anzu ran out of her room and passed her brother, who was preparing dinner and listening to the classical instruments. "Nee-chan! Where are you going?" he cried out.
"I'll be out for a second," she replied, accelerating her legs.
The door was pushed open and she ran down the stairs, making sure not to stumble upon them. She finally brought herself to Malik, who was now off his bike. "I thought I'd come by after work, see if you're feeling alright."
Anzu breathe heavily, slightly tired from the run. Malik observed the tired girl, who looked completely different from school. Her hair was pulled back in a small ponytail, having a bandana covering her head. Few strands of her hair hung loosely over her forehead and cheek. Her outfit was a simple sleeveless red shirt with a jacket covering the rest of her upper body, and baggy black sweat pants. She was barefoot, showing her small, rosy toes. What looked more different about Anzu was that her glasses weren't on.
"If have seen you walk down the street, I don't think I would ever recognize you," Malik stated, smirking to the girl.
Anzu blushed, feeling her skin grow hot even under the jacket. "I was... doing some things before homework..." She quickly sat down on the curb, her feet feeling faintly sore from the two hours of DDR.
Malik sat next to her, closer than she thought he would. "I won't let Mai do something like that again." He turned to Anzu, her face looking rather unconvincing. "I'm serious, if anything ever happens again I'll-" Noticing that her expression still haven't changed, he placed a hand behind his head. "Guess I'm not believable?"
"Malik... don't be so hard on Mai... She's truly in love with you... And it's my fault for getting carried away and being so bold..."
"What do you mean?! Mai's not my girlfriend. And I don't know what to think about the fact that she think she's in love with me."
"Why can't you think about it...?"
"Why should I have to?"
"Because she's serious."
"Just because she serious?" he echoed. "... An what part of me is she serious about?" He sighed. "My ex told me I'm only an accessory. Girls like to flaunt me because it make them looks good. It's the same as carrying Ferragamo or a Chanel. But I don't care what they say. Girls are at their best when naked, period. That's who I am... It's about having fun in the moment. I don't like to think too much, not much in my head,"
Silence came between the two. Anzu held her head down, until she finally spoke. "That's not true. I know there's something in there... I can... feel color all around you,"
"Color? Like a painting?"
"Yeah..."
"What kind of color?"
Anzu lifted her head and turned to Malik. Her sorrow-filled face was now a dreamily one. "A fantastic color... strong and beautiful...and..."
"... And?"
"A sad color too." She let her usual pity face take over, which had a slight blush on her cheeks. It seemed that Malik wore slightly the same face. "Oh, I better get back home... I still have to finish my homework, and Ryou might be finished with dinner,"
'What am I doing?'
As she stood up, her foot was caught with her other, causing her to fall down, but masculine arms helped her keep her balance. "I'm... I'm okay. I just tripped."
As she pulled away from him, a slight tug was coming from her head, both pairs of eyes widen. Malik held up his hand, a few strands of hair was caught on his bracelet. "Wow... heh, looks like my bracelet doesn't want you to go,"
"You always where that bracelet, don't you?" Anzu asked as Malik unhook her hair from the bracelet.
"Someone I knew in L.A. gave it to me. It's for good luck. I really don't believe in those things, but I won the 4-Endurance wearing this,"
"It's beautiful."
He unhooked it from his wrist, and brought it over to Anzu's hand. "It's yours,"
"But... you just said it's for good luck!"
'Oh... his hair just touched my cheek...'
"Just give me your arm," he said, gently grabbing the girl's wrist. "Wow, your arms are so tiny!"
'I don't want anything more... This is enough... this is plenty...'
A tear tried to make it's way from down Anzu's eyes, right before Malik wiped it away, giving her the most sorrow look in his eyes. His hand didn't bother to move from her face as he leaned in closer to Anzu. Eyelids drooped as the two lips came in contact. A small, sweet, light kiss was displayed from the two, both feeling chills and heat going through their pulsating bodies.
Malik left her warm, soften lips and rested his forehead on hers. "Go... I'll be here," he said as he pulled himself away. "I'll watch you until you're back in your room."
Anzu nodded and followed his instructions. She hurried to her home, going into her room, and sat by her window. Seeing that she made it back in her room, Malik placed the helmet on his head and started his bike up.
"I wonder if it's just my imagination, but the sound of a motorcycle makes... It sounds like it's crying..."
Outside her doorway was Ryou. His felt like it was torn as he saw the even between Anzu and the boy. Silent tears rushed down his face, as he knew what was going to happen later on. "She's falling in love with him... leaving me all alone with him..." he said to himself.
{So who would go first? The girl which threatened Anzu, or the one who is to take her away from you?}

"Go-good morning," Anzu hesitated saying as she saw Malik stepping off his bike. Ryou was already swallowed by the crowd of girls, leaving his sister by herself.
Malik looked down. "About last night...um..."
"Oh? The bracelet? Should I give it back?" Anzu said, already starting to take it off.
"No...not that... The kiss," Jou walked up from behind Malik, but stopped in his place as he heard the last word his friend spoke. "There was no deeper meaning behind it... In the US, it's just an everyday thing that families and friends do."
"Oh...! The so-called 'Moment' you enjoy? That's okay, it's you Malik," She walked off into class.
'Is saying... that I'm his friend...?'
A small tap on Malik's shoulder almost caused a heart attack. Jou stood there, a slight pissed-off look etched on his face. "Come with me before class starts..."
Malik gave a muddled look, and followed his friend.
~
"I was thinking..." Jou began to say. "I'm going to forget about Anzu..."
"What? I thought you really liked her?"
"It doesn't mean it'll make things better. Sure... I still like Anzu, but I'm just not the one for her,"
Malik said nothing as his friend continued speaking. "I know I caused you some trouble over it, but that's how it goes,"
"Are you sure you're okay with that?"
"There's nothing I can do about it. I'm even thinking about taking a little trip for a break,"
"To where?"
"Jabujabu Lake, in Shinjuku... I know it's pretty far from here,"
"To skate?"
Jou ignored the question and walked off to class. "I'll drop a line," he said over his shoulder. "... To the awkward couple,"
"Who's the awkward couple...?"
~
Anzu continued her walk to class. As she turned a corner, there stood Mai, anticipating the girl's walk by there. "You think you won, don't you?" she said slyly, walking up closer to Anzu. "For your sake, I wouldn't get too serious about Malik... You might die sooner than you think,"

Done with book one! ^_^ This is a short chapter... only 16 pages. Is the story really good so far? And do the characters act right? I'm trying to make them act like their original selves and the characters from the book. I mean... if they don't act right, I'll try to fix em better or just delete the story. Well... I'll update soon.
Yay! 12 reviews! ^_^ I never thought people would read my story... since my other one was like a failure... and the other one, I don't think people like it -_- And I'm almost done with book one ^_^ This is the last chapter of book one, so yeah...

A ruffled sound filled her head as it became louder. The engine stopped as soon as Anzu realized what it was. 'A motorcycle? It can't be!' She ran up to the window, slight pressing herself on it. 'Malik!'
Anzu ran out of her room and passed her brother, who was preparing dinner and listening to the classical instruments. "Nee-chan! Where are you going?" he cried out.
"I'll be out for a second," she replied, accelerating her legs.
The door was pushed open and she ran down the stairs, making sure not to stumble upon them. She finally brought herself to Malik, who was now off his bike. "I thought I'd come by after work, see if you're feeling alright."
Anzu breathe heavily, slightly tired from the run. Malik observed the tired girl, who looked completely different from school. Her hair was pulled back in a small ponytail, having a bandana covering her head. Few strands of her hair hung loosely over her forehead and cheek. Her outfit was a simple sleeveless red shirt with a jacket covering the rest of her upper body, and baggy black sweat pants. She was barefoot, showing her small, rosy toes. What looked more different about Anzu was that her glasses weren't on.
"If have seen you walk down the street, I don't think I would ever recognize you," Malik stated, smirking to the girl.
Anzu blushed, feeling her skin grow hot even under the jacket. "I was... doing some things before homework..." She quickly sat down on the curb, her feet feeling faintly sore from the two hours of DDR.
Malik sat next to her, closer than she thought he would. "I won't let Mai do something like that again." He turned to Anzu, her face looking rather unconvincing. "I'm serious, if anything ever happens again I'll-" Noticing that her expression still haven't changed, he placed a hand behind his head. "Guess I'm not believable?"
"Malik... don't be so hard on Mai... She's truly in love with you... And it's my fault for getting carried away and being so bold..."
"What do you mean?! Mai's not my girlfriend. And I don't know what to think about the fact that she think she's in love with me."
"Why can't you think about it...?"
"Why should I have to?"
"Because she's serious."
"Just because she serious?" he echoed. "... An what part of me is she serious about?" He sighed. "My ex told me I'm only an accessory. Girls like to flaunt me because it make them looks good. It's the same as carrying Ferragamo or a Chanel. But I don't care what they say. Girls are at their best when naked, period. That's who I am... It's about having fun in the moment. I don't like to think too much, not much in my head,"
Silence came between the two. Anzu held her head down, until she finally spoke. "That's not true. I know there's something in there... I can... feel color all around you,"
"Color? Like a painting?"
"Yeah..."
"What kind of color?"
Anzu lifted her head and turned to Malik. Her sorrow-filled face was now a dreamily one. "A fantastic color... strong and beautiful...and..."
"... And?"
"A sad color too." She let her usual pity face take over, which had a slight blush on her cheeks. It seemed that Malik wore slightly the same face. "Oh, I better get back home... I still have to finish my homework, and Ryou might be finished with dinner,"
'What am I doing?'
As she stood up, her foot was caught with her other, causing her to fall down, but masculine arms helped her keep her balance. "I'm... I'm okay. I just tripped."
As she pulled away from him, a slight tug was coming from her head, both pairs of eyes widen. Malik held up his hand, a few strands of hair was caught on his bracelet. "Wow... heh, looks like my bracelet doesn't want you to go,"
"You always where that bracelet, don't you?" Anzu asked as Malik unhook her hair from the bracelet.
"Someone I knew in L.A. gave it to me. It's for good luck. I really don't believe in those things, but I won the 4-Endurance wearing this,"
"It's beautiful."
He unhooked it from his wrist, and brought it over to Anzu's hand. "It's yours,"
"But... you just said it's for good luck!"
'Oh... his hair just touched my cheek...'
"Just give me your arm," he said, gently grabbing the girl's wrist. "Wow, your arms are so tiny!"
'I don't want anything more... This is enough... this is plenty...'
A tear tried to make it's way from down Anzu's eyes, right before Malik wiped it away, giving her the most sorrow look in his eyes. His hand didn't bother to move from her face as he leaned in closer to Anzu. Eyelids drooped as the two lips came in contact. A small, sweet, light kiss was displayed from the two, both feeling chills and heat going through their pulsating bodies.
Malik left her warm, soften lips and rested his forehead on hers. "Go... I'll be here," he said as he pulled himself away. "I'll watch you until you're back in your room."
Anzu nodded and followed his instructions. She hurried to her home, going into her room, and sat by her window. Seeing that she made it back in her room, Malik placed the helmet on his head and started his bike up.
"I wonder if it's just my imagination, but the sound of a motorcycle makes... It sounds like it's crying..."
Outside her doorway was Ryou. His felt like it was torn as he saw the even between Anzu and the boy. Silent tears rushed down his face, as he knew what was going to happen later on. "She's falling in love with him... leaving me all alone with him..." he said to himself.
{So who would go first? The girl which threatened Anzu, or the one who is to take her away from you?}

"Go-good morning," Anzu hesitated saying as she saw Malik stepping off his bike. Ryou was already swallowed by the crowd of girls, leaving his sister by herself.
Malik looked down. "About last night...um..."
"Oh? The bracelet? Should I give it back?" Anzu said, already starting to take it off.
"No...not that... The kiss," Jou walked up from behind Malik, but stopped in his place as he heard the last word his friend spoke. "There was no deeper meaning behind it... In the US, it's just an everyday thing that families and friends do."
"Oh...! The so-called 'Moment' you enjoy? That's okay, it's you Malik," She walked off into class.
'Is saying... that I'm his friend...?'
A small tap on Malik's shoulder almost caused a heart attack. Jou stood there, a slight pissed-off look etched on his face. "Come with me before class starts..."
Malik gave a muddled look, and followed his friend.

"I was thinking..." Jou began to say. "I'm going to forget about Anzu..."
"What? I thought you really liked her?"
"It doesn't mean it'll make things better. Sure... I still like Anzu, but I'm just not the one for her,"
Malik said nothing as his friend continued speaking. "I know I caused you some trouble over it, but that's how it goes,"
"Are you sure you're okay with that?"
"There's nothing I can do about it. I'm even thinking about taking a little trip for a break,"
"To where?"
"Jabujabu Lake, in Shinjuku... I know it's pretty far from here,"
"To skate?"
Jou ignored the question and walked off to class. "I'll drop a line," he said over his shoulder. "... To the awkward couple,"
"Who's the awkward couple...?"

Anzu continued her walk to class. As she turned a corner, there stood Mai, anticipating the girl's walk by there. "You think you won, don't you?" she said slyly, walking up closer to Anzu. "For your sake, I wouldn't get too serious about Malik... You might die sooner than you think,"

Done with book one! ^_^ This is a short chapter... only 16 pages. Is the story really good so far? And do the characters act right? I'm trying to make them act like their original selves and the characters from the book. I mean... if they don't act right, I'll try to fix em better or just delete the story. Well... I'll update soon.
