Title: Riku's Death, Y.Marik's Brief Return
Hi! So, you like the story so far? Well, here's chapter 4!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yugioh or any of its characters. I only own Riku.
Riku was staring at the ceiling, and trying as hard as she can to not think about the Shadow Realm. Finally, she drifted to sleep on the couch. "Please, help me Riku!" "What?" Riku looked around and saw Marik running towards her, closely followed by Y.Marik. Riku noticed that she was binded by dark vines once again. Marik ran to her and started to tug on the vines. "Riku! Please help me!" "What's going on?" Marik kept tugging at the vines, and Y.Marik positioned himself in front of Riku. He used his snake-like tail to whack Marik out of the way, and then he pointed his tail an inch away from her neck. "Hah! Nobody can save you now!" The tip of Y.Marik's dark tail changed into a sharp blade. Y.Marik pulled back his tail and got ready to strike. "Riku! No!" Marik pleaded, but Y.Marik stabbed Riku through her heart. Riku didn't want to quit. She managed to free her hand from the vines that Marik loosened. "I...Won't let you win.... I will fight you... And... I shall win!" "Hah! You're pushing yourself too hard, Riku. Look at yourself! Do you even realize that your dieing?" Riku grabbed her Talisman of Three Goddesses from around her neck, and the pendant started to glow. "I won't lose... I can't..." Riku showed her Talisman of Three Godesses towards Y.Marik and trapped him within a seal that looked just like the emblem on the talisman. "No! This can't be!" Marik couldn't help but watch as Riku made an effort to destory Y.Marik. "Riku... Be strong..." "No!" The talisman shot a bright blue light at the trapped Y.Marik, destroying him completely. Riku was almost comepletely dead. Marik ran up to her and watched as her soul slowly faded away from her body. Her eyes showed no life, and her skin was very pale white. "Riku? Riku....No!"
Riku slowly opened her eyes and found herself back at her home, on the couch. "It was all a dream...But that was so weird..." Riku tried to rub her head, but something was on top of her. "Riku...No...Please don't die..." Riku looked down towards her body only to see Marik, all curled up next to her, and fast asleep. He started to mumble, and he hugged Riku tighter and tighter. "Please...Don't die..." Riku was dumb strucked. But when she looked closely at Marik, she could have sworn she saw tears roll down his eyes. She smiled and softly patted his head and cooed "Its ok Marik....Can't get rid of me that easily...". She wanted to get off the couch, but she didn't want to wake Marik up. Unfortunately she had a disatvantage, Marik was hugging her tightly like a teddy bear, and getting out of his grip without waking him up was gonna be very tricky. Riku slowly moved her body out of his way. She was very close to completely getting out of the couch without bothering Marik, when suddenly she accidentally bumped her hand against his arm. (Aww crud...) Riku thought, as she saw Marik slowly open his eyes. Marik looked at Riku in disbelief, while Riku just stared back with a blank face. "Riku! You're safe!" Despite his wounds, Marik lunged towards Riku and hugged her tightly, so tight that Riku felt like she was being strangled. "Riku! You're alive!" "Urg! Yes, but you don't have to strangle me to prove it!" Marik looked at her and noticed how tightly he hugged her. He smiled sheepishly at Riku and loosened his grip on her. Marik walked back a little, but then he noticed the cut Riku got from Keith earlier. "Oh no! Riku, you're hurt..." Riku looked at Marik with a blank face before she looked at her arm and watched as blood flowed slowly and freely from her cut. (Double crud...)
Riku looked up at Marik and smiled. "It's ok Marik. I'm fine." "No Riku... Your hurt. Please, let me heal you." "Really Marik, it's nothing to worry about. It's just a scratch." Riku silently thought to herself, (A really big scratch, but it's still just a scratch...) "Please Riku. Let me heal you." Riku sighed and stared at the floor. She had plenty of experience about pushing others to do things. Most of her experiences came from her first time she met Seto. Riku would always try to talk Seto into doing something fun with Mokuba, and to let her take care of things at Kaiba Corp. while they were gone. Of course, as much as Seto would often dissaprove of leaving his company to Riku, she would always win due to her persistancy. Since then, he would trust her more and more because she would often show that she's capable, responsible, and loyal, so now he's not so hesitant about leaving her with Kaiba Corp. However in this case, Marik was giving Riku a taste of her own medicine. "Please Riku... Please..." At this point, Marik was practically begging on his knees. Riku stared at him, let out a deep sigh, and gave in. "Fine...(I surrender...)" Marik smiled at his victory and Riku sat back on the couch. The queen of dragons had met her match.
