Warning! Sexual content in this chapter. Also, slight violence is inflicted on Duel Monsters as well as the duelists. If you don't like sexual/demonic situations, then don't read this. Grrr, my friend on here got her account frozen for writing stuff like this. Soooo I wrote a warning so I don't get my account froze. x__x Okay I'll shut up. Just read and review.
Disclaimer: Do I look like Kazuki Takahashi? No? Good. I'm not. I don't own Bakura's deck. But Zalika's deck belongs to me, since that is my main duelist deck. You have no right to steal it as your own, cuz it took me ages to create. *is glad not all her cards are listed in the Shadow Duel* And for the rules, they are mine as well. Do not steal those either. kk? Good.
~~The Taste of Revenge~~
CHAPTER 5
Marik hadn't slept well. He awoke shortly after his headache began to disappear, hoping that his yami would not return. He looked down to see Zalika sleeping beneath him. Why had she allowed him to be so close? He didn't know. He tried to get off with no avail. She had her arms wrapped firmly around him. He felt a pain between his legs as well, and immediately tensed up, hoping he was only dreaming.
This is so embarrassing. He thought, trying to shift into a more comfortable position without waking Zalika. This can't happen! I'll ruin it for sure!
Zalika opened her eyes. She looked up at him, seeing the colour of his face drained. He noticed her, and instantly a blood red replaced the absence of colour.
"Umm, good morning?"
Zalika noticed what his problem was. She felt his erection poking her, which had probably been there since his yami took over. However, she thought nothing of it, deciding that all humans with a dick had the same lustful problem.
"Good morning. Did you have pleasant dreams?" she asked, playfully trying to embarrass him all the more.
"Zalika, will you let me up?" he replied, disregarding her question completely. He sighed, wishing that Yami Marik hadn't brought him into this, and that his problems would vanish into thin air like they did when he was a little boy.
"No." Zalika said tonelessly. "Fuck me or die."
"You're sick..."
"I know."
Marik sighed and put his head down. Her breathing was soothing, as well as the soft songs coming from the birds outside. He tried to relax his body to no avail, and eventually realized that the girl whom his yami had tried to rape really wasn't kidding, and was coming on to him.
"Come on Marik, I haven't had any since I broke up with Yugi, and he don't know how to masturbate without hitting himself in the face."
Marik laughed. "Do you mean his... never mind."
"Yes Marik, and more." Zalika cracked up laughing, greatly scaring her partner. He figured it would be a good thing to make fun of Yugi for. How had Zalika even dealt with that? How would Joey handle that? The thoughts made his blood flow nearly stop, how disgusting they were.
"How did you deal with that?" Marik asked, and regretted the question after he had given it some thought.
"I don't know. I loved that short bastard. He is the biggest bag of lies I have ever met. I used to think that he was the most innocent being alive, but then when that little veil of perfection started to rip, I realized what a huge mess I had gotten myself into. Then I..." Zalika trailed off, memories of when she found out about Yugi's secret flowing back into her mind.
"What?" Marik asked, looking into her eyes.
"Nothing... I was just remembering how I discovered Yugi's secret. It was very disturbing and enraging."
"Would you like to share it with me?"
Zalika sighed. She didn't like telling people about her past actions and experiences, but Marik seemed like he'd understand. Anyways, wouldn't it be more humiliating to Yugi if more people found out about his gayness? Indeed, it would be good piece of information to have when it came to getting revenge on him.
"I... came into his room at the game shop. He always told me I'd never have to knock, because he didn't care if I walked in on him masturbating but... This time Joey and a materialized Yami Yugi were in there with him having a threesome." Zalika held her head low, wishing the memory had been a dream.
"That's........ wrong." Marik said. "Didn't you hear them inside fucking each other? I mean, all that moaning and shit?"
"No, I didn't. The rooms are sound-proof."
"Oh. I'm sorry you had to go through that."
"It was horrible, but I'm glad I found Yugi's secret. If I hadn't, I don't know what I'd be going through right now."
"How long had he been cheating on you with the guys?" Marik asked. He hoped he would get an answer, since the question was quite personal for a girl he hadn't known very long.
"About 6 months."
Marik felt his mouth drop. "How could you not have known?"
"I suspected that he may have been up to something. I had just never thought he was sticking his tiny cock up the pharaoh's ass. And Joey... For the love of Ra they act like they are only best friends."
"Indeed." Marik said. "I guess he's good at playing."
Zalika sighed heavily. "I wish it hadn't come to that."
"Would you like to know what true love is really like?"
Zalika blinked. "What do you mean? I thought I knew what it was like. But apparently I didn't. Yugi seemed like he was the perfect guy for me...."
"There's a special person for everybody, or so my sister says." Marik replied gently.
"I know... My father told me the same thing. He used to go on for hours about how much he loved his ex-wife. Even after she died he kept loving her, he even tried to bring her back to life."
"So I've heard."
Zalika sighed again and cuddled up to Marik. He held her firmly, no longer as embarrassed as he had been before.
"Can I make love to you?" Marik asked out of nowhere.
"What??"
"You heard me." Marik said, losing his courage. "I think I love you. Can I prove it to you?"
Zalika turned away. "I don't want to go through this again...."
"Don't worry, I'm not like Yugi. I'm not like my dark side either."
Marik's voice was soothing. Zalika found herself giving in, and letting her need for sex come back. But was it a lustful thing? She didn't feel it. She felt a warm, relaxing sensation inside of her, much like she had the first time her and Yugi kissed.
"Marik, I don't know what to say. But if you really think you love me, then I trust you. I'm... just a bit nervous."
"You don't seem nervous." Marik said. Absentmindedly, Zalika had begun rubbing her hand back and forth over Marik's erection through his lose jeans. "If anything I should be nervous, and I am, for I am a virgin and don't know what I am doing."
"That's okay."
Unable to hold back any longer, Zalika pulled him closer into a forceful kiss. Marik didn't protest, but went along with it, eventually giving her the same hard response.
"Are you sure you want to go through with this?" he asked after taking a breath. "I mean, I am a bit crazy."
"You have no idea." Zalika responded, kissing him again with more passion than before.
"No idea of what?"
"What you're dealing with." Zalika flicked her tongue against his lips as he pondered what she was saying. She rolled her eyes. "I meant I'm psychotic too, especially when it comes to fucking someone senseless."
"Are you just being lustful?" Marik asked sadly.
"No, I'm just messing with you. So shut up and kiss me." Continuing, Zalika began to slowly take off Marik's clothes, but suddenly stopped. "To be honest I feel bad about this." she continued. "Something is telling me not to."
"Why?"
"I do not know..."
"Is it me?"
"No, but something inside me is saying it's wrong."
"You hate me... don't you...."
"No," Zalika said sadly, and continued. "I don't hate you. I just don't know what is right for me anymore.
Nervously, Marik gave in again and removed her clothes as well. Embarrassed, she looked away as he gazed at her.
"You're beautiful." he said quietly.
"Shut the hell up. I am not."
Marik grinned. Zalika moved so she was beneath him, holding a pillow up to her face to hide her embarrassment. It didn't take long for Marik to break his nervousness and find his way inside her. She screamed, but only for a second.
"You're a natural." Zalika purred. Eventually, after pushing away her feelings, she began to enjoy it.
"Better than Yugi?" Marik moaned.
"By far."
He continued, increasing his pace as he became more used to it. It didn't take him long to reach his climax, and when he did he loved the delightful sounds coming from his partner.
Panting, Marik laid down beside her. "Was I okay?"
"Yes Marik..." Zalika said, breathing heavily. "I enjoyed it."
"Would you like more?"
Zalika shook her head. "I have this weird feeling inside of me... and I don't like it. It's almost like I'm being followed wherever I go. I think I'm just losing it."
Marik shrugged and decided to rest. It was then that his Millennium Rod started glowing, indicating that another millennium item was nearby.
----[15 minutes later]----
Bakura followed the glowing spikes of his Millennium Ring up the Marik's doorstep. The building looked odd to him, and he wondered who could be beyond the door. Surely Zalika couldn't live here; Pegasus's daughter would never let herself be found in such a dump, would she?
Magically forcing the ring to disappear back under his shirt, Bakura knocked loudly on the door. Hearing what sounded like laughing on the other side, he leaned up against the motorcycle that was parked in front of the entrance. His patience was growing thin, but eventually the door opened and Zalika stepped out.
"What do you want?" she demanded.
"Zalika, give me your Egyptian God Cards now!" Bakura yelled angrily, stepping forward.
"I see now reason why I should." Zalika said, walking back into Marik's apartment.
Before she could close the door, Bakura stepped forward and pushed his way in. "Zalika, I'll make a deal with you. Duel me and if I win I get your God Cards."
Zalika glared, and looked at Marik who was still topless. Bakura, who hadn't seen Marik in years, gave him a lustful grin. Zalika picked up her deck from the coffee table, looked and Bakura, and stuffed it into her pocket.
"What's in it for me?" she asked.
"If you win, I give you my ring and your father's Millennium Eye."
"I accept your challenge. But one problem, where are we going to duel?"
"Bakura, leave her alone." Marik said. "I'll duel you."
"No you won't you fag," Bakura snapped. "You couldn't even win a single duel against Yami Yugi, even with your mind slaves. What makes you think you're any better now than you were at Battle City?"
"I'm a lot better." Marik said. "I got my soul card back."
"So, Zalika, you gave Ra back to him? How foolish... My victory is guaranteed now." Bakura hissed. "You don't stand a chance against my dreaded deck and I."
"We'll see. Now choose a duel location."
"Your employer is Seto Kaiba, correct?"
"What do you think the KC on my jacket stands for?" Zalika glared at Bakura, wishing he'd get to the point. "Anyways, what's your point?"
"Get him to get us duel disks. Then we can go to the Shadow Realm and make things more... interesting."
"Hahaha, this is going to be fun." Zalika said. "You don't stand a chance against my deck."
"We shall see...."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
It wasn't long before Zalika found herself angrily stalking the halls of the Kaiba Corporation main building. Guards had warned her to stay off of the top floor, but she didn't care, and had simply cut their throats. Zalika's hatred for Bakura was going to be proven once and for all to him. After centuries of fighting with the bastard, she had finally had enough.
One thing was certain in her mind: The taste of revenge was sweeter than honey.
But then there was Yami Yugi to consider. How would she deal with him and his goddamned hikari? A plan was needed, but that would wait until after the duel. Right now, the only important thing was getting Seto Kaiba to loan her two duel disks.
Disregarding the "Do Not Disturb" sign on Kaiba's door, Zalika pressed the opening button and stomped in. As usual, Kaiba's eyes were fixed on the screen of his laptop. A mess of papers, signature stamps, and computer chips were scattered about on his desk and the floor. Failing to recognize the presence of his livid employee, Kaiba found himself torn from the hypnotizing gaze at his computer.
"Seto, please, before I explode, may I borrow two duel disks?" Zalika asked, trying her best to remain calm with the murderous thoughts racing through her mind.
"Zalika, didn't you see the sign?" Kaiba demanded.
"Yes, but it's an emergency," she replied. "I have to duel now, and this may be the only chance I ever get in this lifetime to get revenge on my biggest enemy."
"Fine." Kaiba said, glaring. "But only if you use the updated version of duel disk and report to me how it works. You know... bugs, malfunctions, that sort of shit."
"I will."
"And if you break these prototypes, you will be fired and exiled to some deserted island on the Caribbean."
Zalika rolled her eyes, which were turning a dark shade of grey from the anger building up inside her. "Fuck you."
"I bet you'd love to." Kaiba said, smirking.
"I hate you. Now give me the duel disks already."
Kaiba pressed the small button on the collar of his coat. "Maid, bring me in two of the version 5.2 duel disks, immediately."
"Right away Mr. Kaiba."
Zalika forced herself not to gag. How could anyone be calling this undeserving bastard 'Mr. Kaiba'?
"You know, back when we were kids, you were nice. Why can't you be like that again?" Zalika asked.
"It's none of your damn business, girl."
"Then I'll see you in Hell."
The maid then brought in the duel disks and handed them to Zalika, who snatched them from her with a hiss. The petite woman then scurried out, trying her best not to trip on her high healed shoes.
Again, Zalika rolled her eyes.
Why do I work here? she thought to herself, shaking her head.
"You got what you want," Kaiba said, startling her slightly from her thoughts. "Now get out of here, go play your pathetic duel before I let my twisted mind take over my body."
"You know, it's really nice knowing that I can threaten you. Because admit it, you know you'll never fire me, and there is no other person in all of Domino City than can carry on my job. Correct?"
Kaiba glared, thinking of what to say for a minute. Then, he spat, "Get out of here. I can have a robot take your place if I want to."
"As if."
"Go to Hell."
"I was born there. And to be quite honest, Hell is nothing compared to life on Earth."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The chosen dueling area was perfect. It was well secluded where it would be hard to attract an audience. It was a large parking lot behind an out-of-business supermarket. Evening was setting in, and street lights were just beginning to flash to life.
"Zalika!" Bakura called, making sure that Marik would hear. "I know what you are, and now you aren't going to hide it any longer! Not from Marik. Not from me. Not from anybody."
"Get to the point, Baka." Zalika replied.
Bakura magically summoned his glowing Millennium Ring. "This duel... Is more than a duel. It's a battle between the elite demons of the Shadow Realm." As he spoke, the well-known purplish-black shadow clouds surrounded them, cloaking them from the dimension they had previously been in.
Zalika and Bakura both activated their duel disks and inserted their decks into the glowing slot. The small machines fit firmly on their wrists, but hardly differed from the versions used at the Battle City tournament.
"Let me explain the rules I've chosen." Bakura started. "We each pick a monster to act as our 'guardian angel'. It can be any monster, and it will be your key to victory. In order to win the duel, you must use that monster to attack last, and it can only attack once. If the card is destroyed due to magic cards, trap cards, or special effect monsters, you lose. If the monster successfully wipes out the opponents life points, it is the victor. Got it?"
Zalika nodded, showing apparent boredom.
"And rule #2: As our life points decrease, our true bodies are revealed. As I'm sure you've heard from the pharaoh wannabe over there," Bakura nodded towards Marik, receiving a death glare. "When I dueled his demon, our bodies disappeared. Well in this shadow game, we get to see actual demons."
Zalika only laughed.
"Well I'm ready, are you done, teacher?" she asked, picking at a hangnail.
"Pick your little angel." Bakura ordered.
"I know who that will be. Are you familiar with my soul card, Jinzo? He's never let me down in a duel."
Bakura was a bit startled. No! She didn't pick Slyfer the Sky Dragon!
"It's special ability makes all trap cards on your side of the field useless." Zalika stated. "Therefore, if you're planning on using your Destiny Board, you're out of luck."
"Very well then. I don't need that card to win." Bakura tried his best to mask his slight fear, but held his head low. "For my sentinel, I shall choose my Dark Necrofear."
Zalika nodded. "I'll go first."
She drew six cards and quickly examined her hand. Placing two cards face down, she summoned 7 Coloured Fish in attack mode.
I hope to lure him into attacking.
He attacked alright. He played Raigeki, evaporating the shining marine animal and leaving nothing but a puddle of blood behind on the place in which it had stood. Summoning La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp, Bakura planned to attack.
No matter. Zalika thought.
She activated Shadow Spell. The chains exploded from the card, wrapping tightly around the green genie and choking it until its attack points were lowered from 1800 to 1100.
Knowing the trap was set, Zalika placed her Cyber-Stein in attack mode.
"Bakura! You fool! You've already fallen for my little plan. Leaving your monster wide open like that was such an amateur move, for now I activate my Cyber-Stein's special ability, sacrificing 5000 out of 8000 of my life points to summon Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon from my fusion deck!"
"What?!" Bakura yelled. "You fool! You're down to 3000 life points!"
"So?" Zalika asked. "Once I attack, you'll be down to 3900. A slim lead."
Zalika ordered her monsters to attack, and as she had promised, his life points were reduced to 3900.
"I end my turn."
Bakura wasn't going to make that mistake again. He looked down at his body. His legs and left arm began to morph into his true species. Mottled green flesh replaced his smooth ivory skin, and his blue jeans became torn and aged. His feet grew to the point that his sneakers could not hold them, ripping through them with sharp black nails that scratched the rock ground each time he stretched his toes. Muscles grew over his thin arms, surprising both Zalika and Marik.
It was not a pretty sight.
Half of his body muscular and inhuman, the other half still pure and harmless.
But Zalika's appearance would also have horrified any normal person. Marik and Bakura however, were the greatest exceptions known to the three of them.
Only her head and one hand remained human. Her body had grown in height, growing only muscles in her upper arms and legs. Her ribcage was the most disturbing sight to both the guys. It didn't have the look of anorexia, but the look of a pure zombie. Two ribs were threatening to tear out of the skin, and her blackish silver blood dripped from her fangs. Bat-like wings had developed on her back, which almost appeared too large and dragonish for her.... decaying?... body. Then there was the tail. It was long and thin, spiked from the tip all the way up her spine. It was more than double the length of her body, and resembled the one attached to Bakura's assbone as well.
They might as well just start whipping each other to death with those tails right now. Marik thought.
Zalika caught Bakura looking her from head to toe and back again. "Staring is rude you know," she snickered. "And I'm not anorexic."
"Thank god. I can't stand anorexic women."
"I heard that, Marik."
"Sorry, I'm just glad you're not!"
"I'm not."
"Let's get back to the duel!" Bakura shouted.
It was Bakura's turn. He drew, and set a card in defense mode. Then, he placed two cards face down in the trap zone, and turned it back over to Zalika.
Zalika grinned. "This is going perfect, Bakura."
She had played Infinite Cards. Bakura was catching on to her strategy. Predicting her next move, she placed a card in defense mode.
It was all laid out on the field. She was going to summon Slyfer the Sky Dragon.
It was only a matter of time. And right now, Bakura had no way of winning.
