Crimson

Chapter 7:Remember ...

Marik waited until the door closed before he ran to the book. He saw it WAS leather. It was all black with a small golden plaque on it with 'Morte' inscribed on it. It was also dusty.

Marik dusted it off and opened it, for some reason this book looked familiar. The first page was blank, as was the second one, but on the third one there was something that looked like a splash of blood. It said, "The Boring Life of a Vampire Called Malik." The writting was sort of like Marik's but it was neater, and was written in deep purple ink.

Marik turned the page. His eyes widened whe he saw the first date was, "January 25, 1325"

'WOAH!!! These guys have lived LONG!!!'

He flipped through until he reached the last page. It was different handwritting, though. It was scraggly and some placed were blurred.

"It is my sad duty to end this jornal and not have Malik end it ... he was killed today ... Seto, the bastard said I had to burn the body ... I couldn't bring myself to do it so instead I kept it ... he'll sleep in his favorite place until he comes back to me ... he has to come back to me ... he will come back to me ... some day ... and we'll be together again ... with nothing between us ... Malik ... my love ... I spent most of my day gazing upon you ... please come back to me ... soon ..."

'It's so sad ... no wonder Bakura is like that ... he wants Malik back ...'

Then Marik looked up at the date, October 30, 1875. He froze.

'That was the day I met Bakura ... but more than 200 years ahead ...'

Marik decided to take the journal to his room to read it, but when he reached the hall he heard music.

He walked around trying to find the source. The music led him to a door, which he opened. He walked in and found himself in some kind of living room. The vampires were there. Duke was looking through some papers, Pegasus and Seto were playing chess, Lucifer was reading a book in another language, Shadi was playing the piano, and Bakura was playing the violin. Marik recognized the song. He went over to the piano and his hand just moved by themselves.

'What the f-?'

He started playing Fur Elise along with Bakura, going faster and faster. Bakura played along just fine, changing speeds, matching Marik. Shadi raised an eyebrow as he just watched the two.

Finally they ended the song.

Marik gasped as he realized what he'd just done. Bakura smiled and the other vampires had been watching. Lucifer spoke first. "Malik played like that ..."

Marik swallowed and stood up, "I've never even ... touched a piano before ... I swear ..."

Bakura came over, "You're Malik ... you learned how to play a long time ago ... Fur Elise was your favorite song ..."

Seto meanwhile went over to the piano. Marik had put the diary on the piano and he reached out to take a look at it.

Lucifer snatched it away from him, "That's ... mine ..."

Seto narrowed his eyes. "Liar ..." he muttered.

Lucifer glared at him, "Prove me wrong ..."

Seto glared at Lucifer, "Shut up, Lucy!"

"Asshole!!!!"

"Bastard!!!"

"Constipated freak!!!"

"FAGGOT!!!"

Lucifer punched Seto and Seto slashed him back. Then they heard Bakura's voice, "ENOUGH!"

They stopped and Lucifer gave the journal back to Marik.

Marik was confused, "Bakura, why-?"

Bakura coughed, "Come Marik, let me show you something."

He dragged Marik to his room. Bakura looked around before closing the door. Then ran to a closet and stuffed Marik inside, he got in after looking around again.

Marik pouted, "What the hell?"

"SH! Listen ... you can't trust him ..."

"Who?"

"Seto!"

"Why not?"

"Listen ... if he reads that diary ... that last page says everything about Malik's death ... if Seto knew Vladimir loved you, he'd try to use that to his advantage! He'd blackmail Vladimir into giving him control or something in exchange for you ..."

"Vladimir isn't that stupid ..."

"When it came to you he is ... he always was ..."

"But ... oh fine! Not like I love talking to him anyway ..."

"Good."

Bakura tried to open the door, "Oh shit ..."

"Kura ... this is the closet isn't it?"

"What closet?"

"We got stuck in here once ... remember ... we ... wait!"

Bakura was shocked, "You remember? But ... that happened to Malik and me ..."

Marik shook his head, "No ... never mind ... I didn't say anything ..."

Bakura pulled him close, "I remember what we did to pass the time ..."

Marik blushed, though it was too dark to see anything. But, he felt Bakura's hand on his thigh.

He kissed Bakura, "Kura ... I love you ..."

"I love you too Mal- Marik ..."

Bakura felt Marik's hand slide in his pants. "Do it again ..."

Marik sqeezed him and started licking Bakura's chest.


Meanwhile Seto took this time to go in Bakura's private tower, but he was having a hard time getting in. He'd seen Bakura pull on the strand of ivy, but which one?

He heard a voice, "Seto, what are you doing?"

He turned around and saw Shadi, "None of your bussiness Shadi!"

"Seto ... stay out of Lord Bakura's tower, lest you want your head slashed off."

Seto frowned, "Why? He has nothing to hide, does he?"

"EVERYONE has secrets ... including you ... why were you so intrested in Vladimir all of a sudden."

"He's our ENEMY I have to know about him!"

"Or have you noticed they have one more more player ... in this game?"

Seto glared at him, "What are you saying?"

Shadi smiled, "I'm saying you're very smart ..."

"I'm not going to turn my back on my own clan, Shadi!"

"Good ... because if you were to go on the side of the man who killed you brother ... that'd-"

"DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT MOKUBA!!!!"

"All I'm saying, Seto ... is that you like winning ... at any cost." Shadi said coldly.

"What do you fucking mean!?!?"

"I fucking mean, as you put it, YOU are the only one who I can say for sure that would betray us at the moment you saw Vladimir winning. You're a traitor!"

"Be silent!"

"You know what I mean, Seto. If you hadn't betrayed us, Mokuba would still be alive. You killed him!"
