Chapter Two: First Day

-

-

-

Ishizu took a deep breath, as she entered her home. She knew what she had to do. She had to tell Marik what was going to happen. Something she knew he would hate, therefore whished she wasn't the one who had to tell him. But, she had to go to Egypt. It was important, and there was nothing else she could do. She didn't want him home alone. She knew better then anyone of his ways, so she needed someone to keep a close eye on her brother. And that someone was Tea.

Sure, Tea wasn't strong, but she would have her eye on him, and that's on that mattered to her really.

"Marik?" Ishizu called into the dark home.

"What?" an annoyed response soon followed.

Kitchen she thought, as she moved down the halls. Entering the kitchen, she saw Marik drinking water. She bit her lip. I wonder how he's going to take this she thought, as she sat at the table.

"I need to talk to you about something" she stated, her eyes looking at him. She saw him roll his eyes, and sit down across from her, folding his arms.

"Well, talk" he said.

"You don't have to be rude Marik" she replied.

"Well stop wasting my time" he shot back.

She sighed. "Marik, I've been called to Egypt and-"

"For what?" he cut her off.

"They discovered something in the pyramids, and need me there" she stated.

"I'm not going," he said stubbornly.

"I know that. That's why I need to talk to you. I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon, and. . ." She trailed off.

"And?" he questioned her.

"I have invited someone to stay here while I'm gone. To watch over you and-"

"Watch over me?" he cut her off again. "Sister, I don't think you've noticed, but I'm nineteen years old, I don't need someone to watch over me" he said dully. Why must she continue to act stupidly? He thought.

"Marik, whether you want to or not, she will be here watching over you. You don't have to speak to her, like her, but she will be here" she told him, her patience starting to grow thin. Why must he be so stubborn? She wondered.

"She? You're getting a stupid female to watch over me? And who exactly is this female?" he asked her dully.

"Tea" Ishizu spoke.

"That stupid woman. I will not have her in this house" he growled.

"That's not my problem. She will be here. Now, I must go pack and get everything ready. Goodnight Marik" she said, getting up and leaving him alone in the kitchen.

I can't believe her! I'm nineteen; I don't need some stupid bitch to watch over me, especially Tea. I must talk her out of it. I refuse to have that little idiot here he thought, drinking the last of his water.

Tea, ha! What could she do to me? She's weak and pathetic, just like all her stupid friends Marik thought, getting up. I'm going to take a shower he thought, closing the light and leaving the kitchen.


-Next Day-

Tea rang the doorbell to the Ishtar's home. She sighed. She didn't want to be here, and she doubted Marik did either. Truth was, she feared him. Feared him more then anything, and she hoped he wouldn't notice it. I can't believe I even agreed to do this! I'm sure Ishizu could have found someone better to watch over him she thought.

Soon enough, Ishizu opened the door, a big smile on her face. "Hello their Tea, come in" she said politely, as she moved out of her way. Tea smiled back, entering the house.

"Marik, come get Tea's bag and bring them to her room" Ishizu called out.

"She can do it herself," he screamed back.

Ishizu sighed. "Don't mind him. Thank you so much for agreeing to do this. I really appreciate it. I've left you a numbers where you can reach me. Now, I must be going, my plane is leaving soon. But, words of advice, Marik is very angry with all this, so just stay away from him for a bit, I'm sure he'll cool down" Ishizu said, putting Tea's bag in her room.

"Great. . ." Tea whispered as Ishizu disappeared. "I'm stuck in a house with a lunatic" she added.

"I assure woman, that you will watch your tongue, and show me respect" a voice said behind her, making her turn quickly to be faced with Marik. Oh God she gasped, holding her breath.

Marik saw her uneasiness, and smirked, taking a step closer to the brunette. "What's wrong woman?" he smirked, taking another step closer. "Scared?" he asked slyly.

"I a-am not sc-scared of an-anyone!" she protested, trying to hide her fear. Truth was, ever since Battle City, she had been. He was powerful, and the fact that she was alone with him terrified her half to death.

He smirked once more. "That's why your stuttering like an idiot?" he asked her.

She glared at him, despite her fear. "I'm going to take a shower, if you'll excuse me" she walked passed him. But before she had time to reach the outside of the room, Marik had grabbed her by the arm, pulling her back, as she cried out in pain.

"Oh, I don't think so little Tea. You're in my house now, despite what my sister said. You listen to me," he told her.
