Peggi-I'm really sorry I haven't updated much lately but until now my
computer has decided to be evil and not let me upload anything. So enjoy
the flood of updates!

Miranda was terrified, but opened her eyes. Who she saw was who she least expected.
"Haven't I taught you your lesson?" Bakura snapped.
"The only lesson you've taught me is that you fight like a little girl, hiding weakness behind sharp blades and masking fear behind pathetic remarks."
"You fool, you're the one making the pathetic remarks!" Bakura shot back.
"That may be so, as far as me making the remarks, but comments are only as pathetic as the listener." Marik teased, halfway confusing Bakura.
"Are you calling me pathetic?!"
"I believe my point has just been proven."
"Why are you here? Your little girlfriend had to help you the last time. What makes you think you can handle things any better this time?"
"She isn't my girlfriend, baka-ura."
Bakura angrily swung the knife at Marik, but he easily dodged it. Bakura then grabbed marik's arm and pulled him close, bringing the blade to touch his stomach, the tip lightly caressing the skin.
"Aren't you going to beg for your life now?"
"What? And ruin the trick?"
"Trick? What trick?"
"The one where I make the Millennium Eye disappear."
"Huh?"
Bakura reached into his pocket and pulled out the eye. By this time, Marik was standing in front of him, smirking at the confused spirit.
"Liar! You didn't make it disappear!"
"No. . .do ya think?" Marik mocked sarcastically. "I haven't done the trick yet. Now, if you'll be so kind as to give me a pen and let me write something on your arm. The one without the Eye."
Bakura suspiciously glared at Marik as he pulled out a pen and almost reluctantly handed him a pen from his pocket.
'This should be really funny. At least I can make fun of him and his failed trick.' Bakura laughed in his head.
Marik took the pen Bakura was holding out to him and concentrated very hard on what he was writing. When he was done writing he tossed the pen on the ground and smiled as Bakura started reading.
"Read it out loud." Marik ordered him.
"Fine then. Is this magic trick some sort of last request?"
"I guess you could say that." Marik replied with a sly smile.
Bakura looked back at his arm and began reading it.
"I am a fool who just let Master Marik steal the Millennium eye from. . .Hey! I didn't let you-"
Marik grabbed the Millennium Eye from Bakura's hand and he and Miranda ran off. Bakura began to chase after them, angry as ever.
"I'll kill you both!"
Marik pulled out his Millennium Rod from his belt and used it to control Bakura and make him stop chasing them. Once Marik was sure Bakura would catch up he released control and allowed himself to collapse on the grass.
"Must. . .stop." He panted in pain and out of breath.
Miranda looked at him. He had tears in his eyes, but he refused to cry. Blood was seeping through the bandages. The stitches had come out.
'He's in so much pain. . .he saved my life. . .'
"Are you going to be alright?"
She was surprised to hear him asking her that question, but realized her stomach was bleeding slightly.
"Oh. . .I'm alright. I think. . .how about you?"
"Been worse. No wait, I haven't. . .but for being in the worst condition of my life, I'm okay." He tried to joke around.
Miranda laughed. "So, why'd you come?"
"Zoe fell asleep."
"Yeah but. . .you didn't have to-"
"Stealing the Millennium Items will be easier if I have to take them from you. If you're dead it just doesn't work very well for me, now does it? Oh, I believe this is two."
H tossed her the Millennium Eye and then leaned up against the tree to rest.
