DAUGHTER OF THE MASTER
PRINCESS FLAME
CHAPTER 2
PF: Here's the next chapter!
~*~Marik's POV~*~ (thoughts/journal/voice over)
Shana truly is special. A mix, if you will. She's got the cleaning obsession and eyes from Malik, a wild side and evil streak from me, and the hair, body, and general attitude from whoever her mother was.
Her greatest loves are her friends, family, and talents. She loves to be with everything at once, like she will be later. The only problem with her, though, is her panic attacks. They are very rare, but they do occur.
(no more voice over)
I look up as Shana come screeching down the stairs. She's holding what seems to be her violet blouse.
"Papa Marik! I found you! Where's father? I need him to help me. Oh, where is she?" She wailed.
"Shana, calm down. You're going to send yourself into a panic. Malik's in our room, what do you need?" I asked, gripping her shoulders.
Shana gulped some air, and then said, "My blouse is ripped from Ryou and I need him to sew it up. I don't have time."
Teenage girls…"Alright, give me the shirt, go get ready otherwise. It'll be fixed. Go." I shoved her towards the stairs and started for the room I shared with Malik. Why he never taught her to sew I'll never know. She seems to have more ripped clothes than I knives.
Half an hour later found Malik and I sitting in the auditorium of Domino High. It was crowded, and my nerves were growing thin with the people around me. But I held back, seeing as if I did anything wrong, I would have to face two angry figures when we got home.
"Welcome parents, to our annual talent class performance night. Our students have worked hard this year, perfecting their acts and readying for the future." That bitch of a woman talks too much. "So, performing first is Allie Mutou."
For two hours, two fucking hours, we sat through other brats' performances. Finally, the woman came back on stage and presented Shana.
"For the finale, our best student, Shana Ishtar, will be singing the song, I'm With You."
Shana walked on stage, and a few whistles rang out. My eye twitched, but let it go. I wasn't going to ruin my little girl's night.
"I'm standing on the bridge,
I'm waiting in the dark,
I thought that you'd be here
By now.
There's nothing but the rain,
No footsteps on the ground.
I'm listening but there's
No sound.
Isn't anyone trying to
Find me?
Won't somebody come
Take me home?
It's a damn cold night.
Trying to figure out
This life.
Won't you…
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new,
I don't know who you are,
But I…I'm with you…
I'm looking for a place,
I'm searching for a face,
Is anybody here, I know?
'Cause nothing going right,
And everything's a mess,
And noone likes to be
Alone.
Isn't anyone trying to
Find me?
Won't somebody come
Take me home?
It's that damn cold night.
Trying to figure out this life.
Won't you…
Take me by the hand,
Take me somewhere new,
I don't know what you are
But I…I'm with you…
Oh…
Why is everything so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah!
It's that damn cold night.
Trying to figure out this life.
Won't you…
Take me by the hand,
Take me somewhere new,
I don't know who you are
But I…I'm with you…
I'm with you…"
My eyes were wide. That was awesome. The best I've ever heard out of her.
Shana glanced at me and Malik, before looking back to the rest of the audience. We stood up, clapping for her, and the rest followed suit. Stupid mortals…
My girl beamed, and then walked off. As the applauding died down, the woman concluded everything.
"We are very glad you came, and hope you will support your children in whatever decision they make for themselves. Hopefully you will come again."
Everybody began to leave and find their families. We didn't have to go far before I was hugged from behind.
"Oh, Papa Marik, I knew you would love it! How'd I do?" Shana squealed.
I turned around. Shana was grinning up at me, eyes shining with glee. "You did wonderful, my little Sand Star."
She giggled at her nickname, and ran off to find Yugi's girl, Allie, I think her name is.
Malik nudged me in the ribs, leading me to the car. I shouted to Shana, "We'll be at the car!" I saw her head nod, still talking to Allie.
(voice over)
The poor girl will be devastated to find out. The news will break her heart, but it will have to be done. There is no other way. Unless…
I will try my hardest to change things around. But I cannot promise anything, even to myself.
PF: That took a while, considering I had to write the song from memory. Anyway, this thing is almost four pages long, so I thing I'll go now. Oh yeah, song is Avril Laveinge(sp?)'s, and YGO is Kazuki Takahashi's. I own Shana and Allie. I do not own the lady. She's just a person who is in no way tied to the rest of the story. I promise next chapter will be the beginning of the adventure. BaiBai!
