Chapter three: three curses

I looked up at him, my hands clenched to keep them from shaking. "Who are you and what do you want?!"

Malik ignored me and peeled off the cloak, wringing it out. He draped it over his arm and turned back to me. "So, you're Tsuki," was all he said.

"What of it?" I said angrily.

"You'll find out soon. Now get up so we can leave. Unless you'd rather stay here." He said with a sneer. I glared at him and slowly got up.

"What do you want with me?!" I asked again.

Malik glared right back. "I don't have to tell you anything."

I growled. "You're about as bad as my younger brother." Wait a second...I thought I was an orphan. When did I get a younger bro?

Malik's eyes narrowed. "You don't have a younger brother."

"Oh great, so you're a stalker." I said sarcastically. Why did the name Malik sound so familiar? Thinking about it made my head spin. I staggered a bit, resting on some old crates.

"I didn't know the Pharaoh's Queen was so weak. Maybe I should send for a wheel chair." He taunted.

Grr, this guy was really starting to annoy me. He knew the exact things to say to make me angry. Just who was he anyway?! I lunged at him, aiming for a punch. "Shut up!"

He caught my punch and threw me back violently. "Either you go quietly or your body won't be your own."

I was about to pronounce him crazy when a sharp memory pierced my brain like a golden arrow. Malik....it was familiar because on the TV show he's the one who used the Millennium Rod to take control of people's brains. He's not one to be trifled with...

Wait, what was it I was thinking?! My head... what was going on?! I wish time would stop so I could figure things out!

No sooner had I thought that when, well, time stopped. I was the only one moving. "Okay...that's weird."

"So you haven't figured it out yet?" Jenie asked, popping out of no where.

"No. And why is it I can't remember you till you appear?!" I demanded.

Jenie shrugged. "I made it that way. Why else?"

I sat down and watched her, feeling irritated. "Tell me again how the frick you came into my life to ruin it?"

Jenie's eyes narrowed. "What? I've done nothing but what you asked."

"Not! You've made life a living hell. I don't even know who I am any more. I don't have any real memories and I'm not even sure who you are!" I shouted, all my frustration starting to burst forth.

Jenie's eyes suddenly started glowing. "So you don't like my gifts? Fine, now I really will make your life a living hell!" She said in a cold voice that scared me more than if she had been shouting. "I bestow upon you three curses! The first is to turn into a cat whenever you feel an emotion too strongly. The second is for inanimate objects to talk to you whenever they feel like it. You will hear voices wherever you go! The last curse is the worst yet. You will have a different personality upon the cycle of the sun. During the time it is in the sky, you'll be the good in your heart. When the moon is up, you will be the evil inside!"

She disappeared and this time, I had memory of what happened. "Well?" Malik's voice came, sounding irritated.

"I'll come....quietly. Just as long as those other ass holes don't ever touch me or so much as look at me again." I said stubbornly.

Malik chuckled softly and turned towards the door. I supposed that was his way of saying, 'fine, let's just get out of here!' I followed him out into the rain where a black motorcycle was parked.

Malik looked at it, then at the road and sighed. "I'll just leave it here." He muttered and started towards the back of the building with me in tow. A black car was waiting. He turned off the alarm and climbed into the driver's seat. I sat down in the back, knowing I'd feel uncomfortable in the front.

I fell asleep on the way.

Boy, writing all of this was bringing back some old memories. Malik's and my first meeting. We didn't get along very well then I noted. Hm...writing this was making me feel better. I smiled at the thought of me punching Malik again. After all the practice it would hit him. Not like I was planning to though...

I woke up to find out two things: a) the room I was in was huge and b) I was in different clothes. The latter meant someone had undressed me. I checked my underclothes. They were different too. I smelled of shampoo. I had been bathed too.

My first reaction was anger. How dare he touch me! The next one made me blush. He was a guy after all, and a cute one at that. I wondered if I had snored or talked in my sleep or something embarrassing like that.

I didn't have much time to dwell on the matter because suddenly the door opened. Malik came in without his cloak. My blush deepened as I saw his muscular build. "Hey blondie, why don't you hightail it outta here, it's clear that girl doesn't like you." The wall said suddenly.

Malik looked up confused. "Wha-?"

I sighed. "Jenie..." I muttered.

Malik looked around the room slowly and his eyes finally rested on me. He had nice eyes. "Who said that?"

"Eh....the wall did." I said awkwardly.

He didn't respond to that. "Melanie will be here shortly. She will be your servant; I don't like being bothered. Your missions start next week. Understand?"

I blinked. "What missions?"

"Hunter missions." He replied shortly. He threw me a black cloak and a case. I put the cloak on the bed and opened the case. It was a dueling deck.

"Um...Malik-san, I don't know how to duel."

He gave me a cold stare. "I know. You're going to learn this week." He turned to leave, but turned back. "If Melanie isn't around to answer any questions, ask Rishid. He's the other servant here that is trust worthy." With that he left.

Within ten minutes of his departure, a woman came in. She had light brown hair and honey-gold eyes. She was on the short side. Her clothes consisted of a knee-length black skirt and a button-up white blouse. She reminded me of my old-fashioned neighbor. She looked hardly a couple years older than me however.

"I'm Melanie milady; Malik-sama proposed that I help you during your stay here." She said with a polite bow.

I winced. "Please don't do that again."

"Do what milady?"

"Bow."

"If that is what you wish milady."

I tried to not groan. This week was going to be torture!!
