C-F: *grumble* Cursed thunderstorms. *growl*
Marik: *rolls eyes*
Malik: I thought she was going to say "cursed hot weather".
C-F: That too. 80 f. Grrr, I'd prefer 20 to 60 f.
Ari: O.O Cold berrr.
C-F: So? Some people down in Florida think 60 is so cold that when people from New York (here) would be walking around in short sleeves, Florida people would be bundled up like it was in -15 f.
Marik: O.O
C-F: I want the next Yu-Gi-Oh! DVDs to come out. T-T Mime Control and another one. T_T I don't get any TV channels, so I have to get DVDs and videos.
Malik: HAHA!!!!
C-F: *cracks knuckles* WHAT WAS THAT?
Malik: Ooo, touCHY.
C-F: .* *begins brawling with Malik*
Marik: ¬¬ Will they ever stop this?
I'd love to have 'A battle of wits' with you, but you appear unarmed.

Opal Two: Day One to the Light Temple
~~~~~Marik's POV
"Why is Arianna after the Amulet?" I asked Jenny and Erin as I walked onto the deck at about six in the morning.
"Didn't she tell you?" asked Erin.
"What she told me I know was lie." I replied.
"She was asked to find the Amulet by someone." replied Jenny, "We don't know who."
"She's not doing this for herself?" I asked, surprised.
"No." replied Erin with a shake of her head, "She's not like that."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Arianna can't be tempted by anything." replied Jenny, "Some say she's emotionless, though, we disagree with that."
"She can't be tempted by anything?" I asked, doubtfully.
"Yes." replied Erin.
"Absolutely nothing?" I asked.
"Nope." replied Jenny, "NOTHING. Many have tried to tempt her with things, but they've all failed."
"I bet I could tempt her." I declared.
"Oh?" asked Erin, "REALLY?"
"Really." I said.
*This will be an...interesting...day.* I thought.
~~~~~Arianna's POV
I walked out onto the deck the day after we set sail for the Temple of Light.
"What's the matter, Ari?" asked Jenny, "Couldn't sleep as long as you thought you would?"
I glared at her and skewered an apple on (one of) my knife.
"What's with HER?" asked Bakura.
"She's up earlier than usual." said Erin simply.
"She might as well be a vampire." added Jenny.
I tripped over a freakin' board.
"Arianna, now that's not like you." said Bartimaeus.
"Oh, put a sock in." I snapped as I kicked the board and went to the far side of the ship, away from everyone else.
"Ariiiiiiiiaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnna." called Jenny.
"WHAT?!" I snapped.
"Don't you want to meet our stow-away?" she asked.
"I couldn't care less." I muttered and I sat down on a makeshift bench.
"Oh, okay then." said Jable.
"Why aren't you up in the mast?" I asked him, irritably.
"Marik volunteered to go up there." replied Jable.
I harrumphed and crossed my arms.
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of bed." remarked Yami.
"She ALWAYS wakes up on the wrong side of the bed." said Aethleflaed.
"AETHLEFLAED!!!!!!!" I yelled, launching after the Undine.
"I see someone's up." remarked a voice from behind me.
I froze, then turned.
"How the heck do you do that?" I asked him irritably.
"Do what?" he asked, innocently.
"Go from one point to another so bloody quickly?" I asked.
"I'm fast." he replied.
"Humph." I muttered.
"Ari, we need to talk to you." said Jenny.
"Alone." added Erin.
"Fine." I said, "Everyone, go down below." I said.
Marik swept by me, his hand lightly brushing my neck and my heart skipped a few beats.
"What is with you?" demanded Jenny as soon as everyone was out of earshot - I hope.
"What do you mean?" I asked, sitting across the table from Jenny and Erin.
"You have been in a REALLY pissy mood since we picked up those three guys." replied Erin, "Not to mention you've been more of a split personality recently."
I remained silent.
"Either you know one of them, or it's something else." said Jenny, "What is it?"
"Why can't today be one of you ditsy days?" I asked.
Jenny glared at me.
"You've been hiding from EVERYONE since we got back yesterday." said Erin, "It's not like you."
"We want to know what's wrong." said Jenny, "We KNOW you're not afraid of pirate hunters, so it has to be something else."
Great, they're so close to the answer.
"TELL US." demanded Erin.
"It's Marik, okay?!" I finally said.
"What about him?" asked Jenny.
I hit my head on the table.
"Didn't you notice?" I asked, "He's a VAMPIRE. Surely you could tell?"
Jenny and Erin's jaws dropped, making me hit my head again at their ignorance.
"He-he's a WHAT?" gaped Erin.
"A VAMPIRE." I repeated, "Think about it, he is the only vampire on this ship and there are only six humans on board. Vampires are supposed to drink blood, aren't they? Think, ONLY SIX HUMANS."
"I think we see what you're getting at." said Jenny, "If the legends about vampires are true, what if he gets hungry?"
"Exactly." I said.
"You're scared of dying like that aren't you?" asked Erin.
I winced.
"Can't blame you." said Jenny, "Not after seeing an entire village slaughtered by vampires."
I sighed heavily.
"CAN WE COME OUT KNOW?!" yelled a voice, Yami's.
I looked at Erin and Jenny.
"YES!" called Jenny.
Everyone came spilling, rather quickly, onto the deck.
"What's the matter?" I asked observing their antics through my hair.
"There's snakes down there." replied Marik.
"What's wrong with that?" I muttered getting to my feet and I swept below deck.
"Let me guess, they're her snakes?" asked Yami.
"Yes." replied Erin.
I picked up the several snakes (six) and they wrapped around my arms and torso.
"They're just boas." I said giving the boys a look.
"JUST?" asked Yami.
"They're not poisonous." I replied, depositing the snake in my cabin, "Almost harmless."
"Ari, we're going downstairs to get food." said Jenny, "You coming?"
"Not hungry." I replied walking over to the rail and staring out over the ocean.
"Suit yourself." said Jenny.
I THOUGHT that everyone had gone below.
"How come there's no one at the helm?" asked Marik.
¬¬ Seems I was mistaken.
"This is a SPECIAL boat." I replied, "It doesn't usually need anyone to steer it."
"Remarkable." he said.
I heard him walk over to the rail and saw him lean against it so that his back was against it.
"Your friends told me that you were asked to find the Amulet." said Marik, trying to look me in the eyes (I was looking in a different direction).
"Did they?" I asked, surveying the sea.
"Yes." he replied, "They told me more than I thought they would, too."
My eyes flicked to his for a moment, then back to the sea.
"I heard you tell them that I'm a vampire." he said.
I nearly winced.
"How come you can tell?' he asked.
"I saw my entire town slaughtered by vampires, okay? After that, it was a bit hard not to be able to tell." I replied.
"SLAUGHTERED?" he asked, aghast.
"Why are you surprised?" I muttered, darkly.
"Vampires don't usually drink blood." replied Marik.
I remained silent, staring out over the sea.
"If vampire don't usually drink blood, what are the 'special occasions'?" I asked after a few moments.
"Most vampires only drink blood when it's to make someone a vampire." he replied, he didn't seem startled by my question, "It's interesting that a known vampire hunter doesn't know that much about vampires."
At that I looked him in the face.
"How'd you know that I'm a vampire hunter?" I asked him, quite surprised, really.
"I saw you kill a cabin full of vampires, once." he replied, "In the Aquarius Continent."
"That was, what, five years ago?" I said.
"Yes." he said, "That was the day I was made into a vampire."
I remained silent - again.
"You see," began Marik, playing with some of my hair, "For some reason, the vampires thought I was helping you, and they attacked me."
*Great. Now I feel guilty.* I thought, looking away from Marik.
"What were you doing in that part of town anyway?" I asked him.
"My sister had been whipping me." replied Marik, "I was trying to run away."
"WHIPPING you?" I asked.
"It's in the past." he said.
*Oh? And the OTHER things that happened that day aren't?*
"The vampires tried to get me to take my revenge on you." said Marik, leaning forward so that he was whispering in my ear, "They wanted me to kill you, as my revenge."
I was finding it very hard to breathe with Marik so close, an odd feeling that I had never experienced before was flooding my senses.
"I told them that wouldn't kill you." he said.
"And why not?" I asked him, "If I had been in your position, I would of gladly taken my revenge."
"I don't blame you for what happened." said Marik, "I was LOOKING for the vampires."
One of his arms wrapped around my waist.
"You were looking for the vampires?" I asked, "Why?"
"Because I wanted them to kill me, to end the horrible life I was leading." he replied.
He pulled me closer, making my breath catch in my throat.
"But what about you?" said Marik, "What caused the vampire attack on your hometown?"
I pondered my answer for a few moments, why HAD they attacked?
"Most people said they were after me." I said finally, "Why, I have no idea. I got my sword from one of the vampires, though."
"How?" asked Marik.
"For some reason that vampire protected me from all of the other vampires." I replied, "I don't know why. He told me something, but I don't remember what it was. I was only six."
"Six?" he asked, "You were only SIX when you saw all that?"
"Yes." I replied, trying VERY hard to ignore how close Marik was.
We both remained silent for a while.
*Where were Jenny and Erin and the others?* I wondered, *They SHOULD be back by now...*
"Your friends said that you can't be tempted by anything." Marik said after a while.
Mentally my jaw dropped, how could they tell him that?!
"They said," said Marik, cupping my face in one of his hands, "They said that I wouldn't be able to tempt you - in anyway."
*I swear, I will kill those two.* I thought.
"They also said that some people believe you to be emotionless." added Marik.
"Well THAT is not true." I said, "I DO have emotions."
"But you can't be tempted?" asked Marik.
"No-" I started, but faltered as Marik pulled me yet closer to him, and I felt his lips brush my neck.
*SHUT UP, BRAIN!* I yelled at my brain as it started wondering what it would be like if Marik kissed me, my mind has a mind of its own.
"Well?" he asked.
I was finding it VERY hard to talk, impossible, in fact.
"I think," began Marik, "That you CAN be tempted, but you wear a mask, a mask to hide ALL of your emotions."
Too right.
"But what /I/ want to know, is weather /I/ can tempt you, in anyway." he continued.
*Good thing he can't read minds.* I thought.
Marik seemed to be done talking.
"Well, have you an answer? Can you be tempted?" asked Marik.
I was also finding it very hard to LIE at the moment...
"Yes." I said, "I CAN be tempted."
Whoops. Did I say that?
Marik smiled at me.
"Now, that wasn't so hard now, was it?" he asked.
Actually, it was.
"Is it possible for ME to tempt you?" he asked.
I'm not answering that.
"Yes." I said.
Oops. I guess I am going to answer that.
"I thought I had been tempting you." said Marik, "I wasn't sure though."
Well, you were.
Marik smiled at me again and then kissed me.
~~~~~Jenny's POV
"Oh my, God." I gaped as I peeked around the trap door in the ceiling.
"What?" asked Erin.
"Ari and Marik are kissing." I replied.
Erin pushed past me to look.
"Ha ha!" she said, "I knew it!"
I rolled my eyes.
"Do you think he'll make her a vampire?" I asked.
"He might." she replied, "Who knows?"
~~~~~Marik's POV - a few minutes later
God, does she taste wonderful!
I couldn't believe she was letting me kiss her, in fact, even more surprising, she was kissing back. I had expected her to give me a nice hard kick for kissing her.
I pulled away from our kiss.
"Why did you kiss me?" Arianna asked me.
"Because I love you." I replied.
She seemed shocked - there was no other word for it. She was shocked.
"I KNOW I love you." I said, "I would never let anything happen to you."
"I love you too." she said.
Now it was MY turn to be shocked - again.
"This is crazy, you know that, don't you? I'm a vampire, you're a human." I said.
"Well, it's always possible for me to NOT be a human." she said.
WHAT? She couldn't be suggesting what I think she is... Could she?
"I-I can't." I said.
"Think on it." she said looking me in the eye, "See if you're so sure then."
She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me.
ANOTHER big shocker - to me, anyway.
Before I knew it, instead of kissing Arianna I was, ehm, BITING her.
~~~~~Arianna's POV
Ha! I knew he'd FINALY bite me.
It was a VERY weird sensation, having all the blood sucked out of you through the neck.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*slurp* Sorry just having a weird moment...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Suddenly (I guess Marik had noticed WHAT he was doing) Marik pulled away from my neck, rather quickly and ran as fast as he could away and down into his cabin (just a guess, but very likely.)
"Ari?" asked Jenny peeking out of a trap door.
"Were you watching the entire time?" I asked her, rubbing my neck, owie.
"Did he-?" began Erin as she and Jenny got on deck.
"Make me a vampire?" I said, "No."
"Then what was he doing?" asked Jenny.
"Well, he WAS going to make me a vampire but I don't think he realized WHAT he was doing and when he did, I think he panicked." I replied.
"Ahhh." said Erin.
"We found out something about one of the boys." said Jenny.
"What's that and who's that?" I asked.
"It Yami." replied Erin, "He's a werewolf."
I groaned.
"A werewolf?" I asked, "This is going to be an interesting adventure."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
C-F: I like fluff WAY too much... TT
Marik: I'm amazed you didn't have Arianna turned into a vampire this chapter.
C-F: I decided against it.
Malik: It's a miracle.
Ari: *nods* Yes it is.
C-F: u¬¬ Enough, we get the point. And BTW, I couldn't do a spell check because it wasn't working.
Marik: We?
C-F: Me, and you three and the audience aren't the only ones here you know.
Malik: O.O Who else?
C-F: The eight people who live inside my head.
All: *animé face fall*
C-F: ?.¿ What's the matter? SLAOD JAP!
Marik: What does that mean?
C-F: I don't know. One of the people in my head made me say it.
The Boogieman lives in my best friend's head. But I think the Boogieman's wife lives in my head.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
C-F: *grumble* Cursed thunderstorms. *growl*
Marik: *rolls eyes*
Malik: I thought she was going to say "cursed hot weather".
C-F: That too. 80 f. Grrr, I'd prefer 20 to 60 f.
Ari: O.O Cold berrr.
C-F: So? Some people down in Florida think 60 is so cold that when people from New York (here) would be walking around in short sleeves, Florida people would be bundled up like it was in -15 f.
Marik: O.O
C-F: I want the next Yu-Gi-Oh! DVDs to come out. T-T Mime Control and another one. T_T I don't get any TV channels, so I have to get DVDs and videos.
Malik: HAHA!!!!
C-F: *cracks knuckles* WHAT WAS THAT?
Malik: Ooo, touCHY.
C-F: .* *begins brawling with Malik*
Marik: ¬¬ Will they ever stop this?
I'd love to have 'A battle of wits' with you, but you appear unarmed.

"What's with HER?" asked Bakura.
"She's up earlier than usual." said Erin simply.
"She might as well be a vampire." added Jenny.
I tripped over a freakin' board.
"Arianna, now that's not like you." said Bartimaeus.
"Oh, put a sock in." I snapped as I kicked the board and went to the far side of the ship, away from everyone else.
"Ariiiiiiiiaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnna." called Jenny.
"WHAT?!" I snapped.
"Don't you want to meet our stow-away?" she asked.
"I couldn't care less." I muttered and I sat down on a makeshift bench.

Before I knew it, instead of kissing Arianna I was, ehm, BITING her.
~~~~~Arianna's POV
Ha! I knew he'd FINALY bite me.
It was a VERY weird sensation, having all the blood sucked out of you through the neck.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*slurp* Sorry just having a weird moment...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Suddenly (I guess Marik had noticed WHAT he was doing) Marik pulled away from my neck, rather quickly and ran as fast as he could away and down into his cabin (just a guess, but very likely.)
"Ari?" asked Jenny peeking out of a trap door.
"Were you watching the entire time?" I asked her, rubbing my neck, owie.
"Did he-?" began Erin as she and Jenny got on deck.
"Make me a vampire?" I said, "No."
"Then what was he doing?" asked Jenny.
"Well, he WAS going to make me a vampire but I don't think he realized WHAT he was doing and when he did, I think he panicked." I replied.
"Ahhh." said Erin.
"We found out something about one of the boys." said Jenny.
"What's that and who's that?" I asked.
"It Yami." replied Erin, "He's a werewolf."
I groaned.
"A werewolf?" I asked, "This is going to be an interesting adventure."

C-F: I like fluff WAY too much... TT
Marik: I'm amazed you didn't have Arianna turned into a vampire this chapter.
C-F: I decided against it.
Malik: It's a miracle.
Ari: *nods* Yes it is.
C-F: u¬¬ Enough, we get the point. And BTW, I couldn't do a spell check because it wasn't working.
Marik: We?
C-F: Me, and you three and the audience aren't the only ones here you know.
Malik: O.O Who else?
C-F: The eight people who live inside my head.
All: *animé face fall*
C-F: ?.¿ What's the matter? SLAOD JAP!
Marik: What does that mean?
C-F: I don't know. One of the people in my head made me say it.
The Boogieman lives in my best friend's head. But I think the Boogieman's wife lives in my head.
