Amarante Flowers That Never Fade

Chapter 1: Amaya Night Rain

Slowly, without a word, I rose, turning away from the girl and walking to the far end of my chamber. Each step was agonizing pain that shot thought my body; I refused to let her see that. Upon reaching the end of the chamber I rested my hands against the wall, straightening my arms and leaning my body forward. I inspected the wall in front of me memorizing every crack and rock in the stones. Trying anything to keep her shut out. I could feel a myriad of emotions racing through my senses, twisting my thoughts in a hazy state of mind. They were all muddled together in a chaotic heap of sensations, wreaking havoc in my consciousness. Reinforcing one, contradicting the other, yet failing to create any coherent sense. I closed my eyes, desperately trying to put my thoughts in order. I let my memory take me back to the desert in the cell...In that ominous place of bloodshed, only one thing had kept me alive. One purpose, one person. I let out an exasperated sigh. I knew. I knew in my heart who that person was. It was her. It was... Kira.

            It began to pour that day. A rare thing for the hot, sandy place called Egypt. I walked in the tunnels, hearing the rain echo in the walls. I never knew what rain was like. All I knew is that my dad didn't want me outside. He's having people come to visit me, which rarely happened. Kind of like the rain. Lately father has girls coming to spend the night and walk around. I'd meet them and walk around the tunnels with them. Chatting just to find out about them. However girls I've met I don't like and I scare them off. They tell their fathers they don't want to stay. I'm too young to be thinking about girls but father insists that I grow up with my future wife.

"Master Marik." Odion called running after me.

I cringed and the words master and turned to face the older teen that my father refuses me to call brother. "Yes?" I asked not bothering to ask him not to call me master when I know he'll do it again.

"You're father summons your presence in the vault. There seems to be a new visitor." He stated.

"Another one? Why must I be bothered with a girl now anyway? I'm too young." I sighed making my way back towards the vault.

Once entering the room my father sat in the center chair. Across from him sat a woman who had a small girl at her side. My older sister, Ishizu, accompanied my father.

"Here he is." My father announced me drawing the girl and the woman's attention. "Come here, Marik." My father ordered.

I mentally sighed and made my way over. "This is Malden," He stated addressing the older woman. "And this is her daughter, Kira." He stated introducing the girl.

I took a seat at my father's side, like many times before. I stared at the girl whose name was Kira; she had brown hair and green eyes, which she used to stare at the floor with.

I didn't bother listening to anything Malden and my father talked about; it was always the same old stories. I'm not sure how many more I could listen to before I drowned in my boredom.

"Marik, why don't you show Kira around she will be staying with us after all." My father awakened me from my thoughts. Yeah right she'll stay, She'll stay as long as the others. The most being five hours, before running to her mother.

"Sure thing." I stated standing up. Kira stood up as well and we made our way out of the room.

"So how old are you, Kira?" I asked trying to bring something to life.

"I'm 9 Marik-sama." She stated never lifting her head.

"So am I. I'll be turning 10 in two months though." I stated not caring if she was listening or not. Most likely not seeing on how the others didn't.

"Are you excited, Marik-sama?" she asked.

My eye twitched. "No." I stated flatly. Why can't you be like the others and not care to ask questions?

"Oh." She went silent again as we reared the corner.

"How long to do intend on staying? All the others left before a day." I stated.

There was no answer. Just the quiet sounds of the rain that echoed in the halls. Tension filled the air. I didn't like it, so I stopped walking and turned to her.

"How long do you intend on staying?" I asked again anger rising in my voice.

It was silent again. I was angry. Did she hate me already? She didn't give me a chance at all.  I was about to tell her to leave when she spoken.

"Forever." She answered her voice almost lower than a whisper. "I intend to stay forever, Marik-sama." She raised her head from the ground locking her green eyes with my violet ones. Her eyes held complete sorrow. I pulled the girl into my arms locking her into my embrace.

It took a moment before she wrapped her arms around me, hugging me back.

"Come now. We should head back to the vault." I stated pulling back.

Maybe it won't be so bad. Maybe this girl, Kira. Can be my friend.

We entered the vault to see that Malden had left. "Father, where is Kira's mother?" I asked.

"Why she left. Didn't Kira tell you? Malden is going on trial. Malden feels that she is going to lose, so she brought Kira here." My father answered. "Ishizu, take Kira to her room please." Father instructed.

"Of course father. Come Kira." Ishizu stated leading Kira out of the room.

"Father if you don't mind me asking. What is Kira's mother going on trial for?" I asked confused.

"For the murder of Kira's father." He stated.

"You mean Kira WILL be my wife in the future?" I asked.

"Of course, she doesn't have a choice. Now be off. I have work to do." He stated shooing me away.

I left the room, my thoughts in a muddled. Why didn't she tell me? Why didn't Kira tell me?

To be conutined…
