oos: Sorry I haven't updated for a while! I've been so busy with finals for
school. (heaves impressive sigh) It's not that easy trying to write a story
with only- what? Two or three more chapters? Or One or two if you don't
count this one. (sniffs) I just hope that you appreciate me writing this
when my ankle is twisted and I can't run around! T_T Ooh, but guess what?!?
This weekend, I get to go to the Jersey shore with my yami! ^_^ And
tomorrow, I'm going to see 'Finding Nemo'. HIP HIP HURRAYYYYYYYYYYY FOR THE
AUTHORESS! ^_^
To some special people:
Moonbeam: Thanks for the idea! I'll be sure to keep it in mind as I write.
Gold Dragon: Aw, I'm so sorry about your puppies! At least they'll be going to new homes to make other people as happy and loved as you were......
Froz: ^_^
....(): Yes, I do! :D
Thanks to all my lovely reviewers! I wove you all! (blows kisses) Anyway, I'd like to thank the person/people who sent me the words 'vapid' and 'dissemble' to use in this story. I regret to inform you that their names were lost in a terrible accident involving the computer's mouse, my sister, and the delete button. (wipes away tears)
Keep a lookout for the words! ^_^ Enjoy!
The Discovery
"WHA?!?" Marik spun his chair around at his yami's words and face-faulted, anime style, as Alex opened her mouth in a silent scream and fell back onto the carpeting.
The two teens stared at each other, breathing heavily for several minutes until their breathing calmed. Alex suddenly smiled and Marik cocked his head, confused. A smile was not exactly the result he had been expecting.
Her smile was followed by giggles, then chuckles, then full-blown laughter. Of course, all of this was silent, so all she could do was shake and grin. But Marik knew what she meant and he gave a small grin himself.
Alex stopped laughing and just smiled at him before standing up, wobbling slightly before she regained her balance. She gave him a serious expression, which he interpreted to translate as, LISTEN TO ME!
"I'm listening," Marik answered back.
Alex nodded slightly in acknowledgement. Then she pretended to pick up something out of the air and place it in her mouth.
"You're hungry?" he guessed, and she nodded enthusiastically. Alex danced happily over to the door, proud that she had gotten her message across.
Marik was watching her dazedly. *I think she's gotten even more beautiful then when I first laid eyes on her,* he sighed to himself. *But is my yami right? Does she actually love me?*
While he was thinking, Alex had been growing impatient. She finally strode up to him, grabbed him by the sleeve and dragged him downstairs.
He laughed outloud at the picture they made - him being led around by a girl. And not just any old girl - but a captive.
Alex hesitated at a corner, peering into the rooms around them. *Where's the goddamn kitchen?!* she wondered, her stomach growling.
"This way," Marik replied to her thoughts, indicating an innocent looking door. She started in surprise; could he hear them?
He began to move in the direction he had pointed. Then he stopped, as if praying to Ra for help before a difficult decision.
Marik grabbed her hand.
Alex flinched slightly, astonished at the contact. Her hand lay limp in his, too startled to do anything but stare.
His hand felt different from what she had imagined. For some reason, it was hard and rough. Alex had expected it to be soft and plushy, like a baby's. It's not like he did any hard work afterall....
Not only that, but his hand was warm..... a little sweaty, too, betraying how nervous he was. She reddened slightly as he smiled, almost shyly, sending shivers down her back.
Alex's fingers tightened their grip and interlaced with his.
"Come on," he said softly, pulling her towards the kitchen.
*At least, she thinks it is a kitchen! Just wait until she sees the ballroom! I know she'll love it!* Marik thought excitedly.
He opened the door, then mock-bowed. "Ladies first," Marik teased, holding the door with his foot.
Alex entered the room, expecting to see a home-styled kitchen like hers. She was happily disappointed.
The floor was a polished wood, worn smooth by dancing feet. It was so shiny that it reflect the great chandiler that shone with dozens of flickering candles high above Alex's head. (Don't ask me how they got there!)
She gaped, open-mouthed at the magnificent sight while Marik stood behind her, his face flushed with excitement.
"Do you like it?" His eager voice bounced off the ceiling and came back at her in echoes.
Alex turned around slowly, twirling her arms around her as she looked skyward. Then her face lit up with a smile. "I love it," she whispered hoarsely.
They were her first words of the day, and all but the last word exactly what he desired.
oos: Awww, coolies! I've decided there will be two more chapters after this, so YEAH! I'm not even going to try to promise you a date saying when they'll be posted. It might not be soon, because of more finals. It's just tomorrow (Friday), then two more weeks and I'm done, so bear with me!
