Chapter 2:Nox Castle

Marik gasped. "What! Who are you! GET OUT!!!!"

Marik tried to get to his lamp but the person, whoever he was, grabbed his arm and threw him to the floor. Marik tried to get up but found he was pinned down. He tried to scream, but the intruder covered his mouth. Then he felt him self turned over and he looked into the intruder's eyes.

The intruder was about to say something, but froze. He stared at Marik for a long time before he actually spoke.

"Malik ... is it you? Malik ... I have waited for so long ..."

Then the stranger hugged Marik. Marik just lied there on the floor feeling helpless. Then he found his voice. "What are you talking about?"

"Malik! Don't you remember me? It's Bakura! Malik! It's ME!"

Marik just stared at him. "I'm not this ... Malik guy ... my name is Marik Ishtar ... MARIK ... NOT Malik."

Bakura looked at Marik as if he was saying nonsense. "Ofcourse you are ... you have the eyes, the skin ... the mouth ... everything ..."

Marik shook his head, "I don't know what you're talking about, but get out before I call the police!"

Bakura mumbled to himself, "Perhaps I was mistaken ... but no ... he's Malik's mirror image ... I can't be mistaken ..."

Suddenly Bakura swooped down on him. "Look into my eyes, little boy."

Marik tried to look away but the vampire forced him to look. Then, sleep overtook Marik. Bakura picked up the now uncouncious boy.

"Malik ... I know it's you ... it has to be ..."

With that the vampire flew into the night with the boy in his arms.

Marik woke up in a huge bed with blood-red, silk sheets. He frowned, "What the-?"

The vampire, now sitting on couch at the far end of the room smiled, "You're finally awake, I see ..."

Marik looked at him in horror. "You!"

"Me ... my name is Bakura, yours?"

"MARIK! MA-RICK! NOT MALIK! MARIK!"

Bakura chuckled, "Ok ... MarICK! Can I call you Rick?"

Marik looked at him with hatred, "Can I call you, Ura?"

Bakura laughed, "Touche!"

Marik glowled and started to get out of the bed, when he noticed he was naked.

He blushed and yelled, "You PERVERT!!!!!"

Bakura grinned, exposing his fangs. "A man will be a man ..."

Then the vampire flew over to Marik and leaned close. "Malik ... Malik ... I've waited ... I've never taken another ... "

Then the vampire kissed Marik forcefully on the lips.

Seto Kaiba strode arrogantly into Nox Castle. He grabbed one of the servants, whos name he knew to be Scar. "Where is Bakura."

Scar frowned, "Lord Bakura is busy now."

"WHERE IS HE?!?!?"

"He is busy now."

"I DON'T GIVE A SHIT! I WANNA SEE HIM NOW!!!!"

Scar bowed and pointed upstairs. "He is in the fifth room from the stairs."

Seto frowned, "He is in the one next to his ... I see ..."

Scar nodded. "He came back with a human. He is busy."

Seto growled, "Then he'll have to share with me!"

With that Seto flew up the stairs and entered the room at just the right moment to see Bakura kissing a boy.

Seto frowned. "Bakura?"

Bakura looked up from kissing Marik. "What!?!?"

Seto narrowed his eyes. "You didn't tell me you'd found a new human."

Bakura scowled, "This one's off limits to you. I'm not going to kill him."

Bakura pulled Marik in front of him. "See?"

Marik gasped when he was pulled out of bed and covered his most intimate parts with his hands. Seto looked at him then came closer to inspect him.

"He looks like Malik ... doesn't he?"

Bakura sighed, "Why do you think he's still alive?"

Seto grabbed Marik and tried to bite him. Bakura plunged his own teeth into Seto.

"How dare you! He's MINE!" Bakura yelled as he pulled Seto off Marik.

Seto cringed in pain and hissed at Bakura. "You haven't claimed him yet!"

"He's MINE!"

With that Bakura turned to a very scared Marik and plunged his fangs into Marik's tender skin.

"Oh ... so sweet ... so good ..."

Seto frowned. "Okay he's yours ... but can I at least feed off of him. The others are going to want to as well you know. Tommorow's Halloween and they'll be here hungry."

Bakura stopped drawing blood. "True ... I guess you can ... as long as you be gentle."

Marik wimpered, "Please no!"

Bakura went back to feeding off of him. "Don't worry." he whispered. "It's okay ..."

Marik was starting to feel numb. He barely felt Seto lifting his wrist. But, what he did feel was Seto biting him. He cried out, but he felt Bakura stroking his hair. "Don't worry ... you'll be alright."

Marik was growing weaker and weaker. Bakura noticed this and pulled Seto off. "Enough! Leave me now!""

Seto smirked, "You'd better prepare yourself. Tommorow we have to show your new toy off."

Bakura nodded. "I will."

When Seto left, Bakura looked at Marik with sad eyes. "Tommorow you're going to have to put on a show with me."

Marik could barely raise an eyebrow. "Why?" he asked weakly.

"Because that's what I do ... every Halloween. So tommorow ... will you help me?"

Marik slowly nodded. "I have to, huh?"

Bakura carried him up to the bed. "Yes, you do."

He covered Marik with the red covers and left him alone. It'd soon be dawn, and Bakura couldn't stay up. He locked the door of Marik's room and went into the one next to it. Inside was a black coffin. Bakura opened it and lied down on it's velvety interior. Then he reached out a hand and shut it tight.

'Tommorow ... tommorow at Las Noches ... I will have to do that to him ... Malik ... my Malik ... why don't you remember me?'

A/N: Yeah ... that was ... intresting ... so what do you guys thing ... R&R pweeze!!!!
