Mariku- Thanks guys for the incouragement! especially you josephine jekyl !!!!
Also I would like to say to DojomistressAmbyChan that I read my story, and my thought was
THIS SUCKS! IT IS WAYYYYYYYY TO RUSHED IN!
well im am really sorry.truly.absolutely positively sorry.
FROM NOW ON, I WILL BE PAITIENT AND CAREFUL.
And yes to those who are wondering, the pharoah is Atem or Yugioh or Yami, or whatever you would like to call him.I felt like making him the bad guy because in the show he gets WAYYYYYYYYYYY to much screentime. Marik deserves much much much more! He's a good guy now anyhow!
Also please know my OC has absolutely nothing to do with Tea Gardener. I got the name from the top of my head. Also please know I and sick and tired of her gay and happy "friendship speeches" No I do not absolutely hate her, I just do not like her being the "friendship girl" she is.
Thank you.
The wagon slowly came to a stop. Telita heard the crunching of stone and sand as the driver jumped out of the front seat. The foot steps neared the back of the wagon. There was a clank of metal and another crunch as what she guessed was Marik landing on the ground. A pair of footsteps retreated to the front of the wagon. Telita peered out from under the blanket. A rather large man was coming back to Marik with a branding sort of stick.She gasped she had forgoten all about that part. They were going to burn a seal into his arm, so everyone knew he was exiled. Marik tensed, and looked at the blanket in the back of the wagon. It wasn't there anymore. He looked around for it, but instead saw Telita creeping up behind the man, who was now heating the brander over a little stone oven in the front of the wagon. She threw the blanket over the man.
"Aghhh!" The man stumbled backwards and fell, his head landing on a rock.There was a sickening crack.Telita looked mortified and pale.Marik didn't flinch.There was a horrible silence,the man didn't move, he was as quiet as a stone. Telita shook her head trying to clear her conscience, she bent over the corpse and carefully plucked the keys from the man's belt, and walked towards Marik.He shifted his gaze to his surroundings to avoid her eyes.They were in an abandoned village,he knew this place very well, he had used this place as a hideout once. Telita took his hands gently and put the key into the cuff's keyhole, she turned it and the chains fell to the ground with a thud.She bent down and did the same with his ankle cuffs too.Marik looked back at Telita quietly after she stood up. She looked at him sulkily
"What? no thank-you's?"
Marik sighed an hugged her.
"You know its really hard to stay mad at you." he said closing his eyes.
"I know." She said smiling.Marik let go and pulled her to the wagon.
" What do you say we blow this joint?" he asked climbing into the front
"As long as where we're going is far far way from here ." Telita said looking back in the direction of the Palace.
"What ever you say my Princess." Telita looked back at him and back at the village.
"Hold on Marik." she said running towards a small looking house that was cracking with age.She went inside.It was a few minutes before she came out again, but this time she was carrying something.
"What in Ra's name is that?" Marik asked eying the bundle as she approached him.
"Clothes.They aren't the best but you are not going to town like that." she said pointing at the loincloth. Marik looked at himself and blushed.
"Alright, give it here" Telita tossed him the clothes and climbed up front.Marik went in the back and changed quickly.He came back looking decent, exept for the horrible scars on his chest and shoulders.Tetlia reached out her hand, and touched the largest gash in the middle of his torso.
"I'm sorry Marik.This was all my fault."
"But you were right, Getting me exiled was better then getting me killed."
"I guess I fulfilled your wish."
"what wish?"
"For me to be with you always."
Marik kissed her on the cheek and grabbed the reins. They were leaving behind their past and heading for their future.
Together.
an hour later
Telita was awakened by a large bump in the road. She opened her eyes and realized she dozed off on Marik's shoulder. She sat up straight and looked around. They were entering a large village. There were children playing on the side of houses and streets, chickens running all over the place making it seem to her that they had no owners. Rows of makeshift wooden market stands, some had people behind them selling arrays of food, clothing, and small trinkets for children.
"This is Kono Toran"
Telita turned to Marik, he was also looking around.
"How do you know?" She asked surprised
"I've been here many times"
"For your work?" Telita asked. He had never told her what he did to earn money, he did'nt speak of it much.
"Yes" Marik pulled the wagon around to a large empty spot and stopped the horses. He jumped out and helped Tetlita down too.
"Where do we take the horses?"
"Over here" Marik said unhitching one horse and bringing it to a water trough.Telita did the same. Marik left and told her he'd be back. Telita stared at her surroundings, taking in the large buildings and inns. This was the first time she had been outside of the palace.A small ball rolled up to her feet, she picked it up and looked in the direction it came from.About a dozen children were running up to her. They all gathered around her, a boy took a step forward
"Could we have our ball back Miss?"
"Of course" Telita said smiling, she bent down and handed him the small red ball.
"Thanks Miss!" He said running off with the other kids.She watched them play, they reminded her of the times when she was young, and played in the Palace courtyard. Someone tapped her shoulder, she turned around. Marik was holding out a stick with something on it. He was holding one for himself too. She took it.
"What is it?" she said turning it around.
"A Tane-tak" (Tan-a-tac)
"What?"
"Their made of fresh wheat bread, sprinkled with cinnamon and dipped in sugar" Marik said taking a bite out of his.Telita tore a large piece off, wondering how long it had been since she had eaten.The stuff practicly melted in her mouth.
"Wow..." she murmured. Marik grinned and pulled her along as he began to walk to an inn.
Marik reached the door way when .SMACK. He had bumped into someone coming out. Marik fell backwards.
"Argh, dammit watch where your.....going?"
The person who had bumped into him was a boy marik's age.He had shoulder length white spiky hair and a scar across his left eye.
"Baku?" Marik asked
"Marik?" the boy responded surprised.
Telita snickered
Baku?
The boy looked at Telita and back at Marik
"Oy, I thought I told you not to call me that!"
"Sorry Bakura" Marik said helping him off the ground.
Marik turned to Telita
"This is Bakura "The King Of Thieves" Marik said exagerating the last few words. Telita looked at Bakura
"I've heard of you! The Palace guards talk about you all the time! Its a pleasure to meet you" She said deviously. Bakura smiled.
"So Marik finally got what he was after? The Birdie in the palace?"
Telita and Marik blushed
"What did you call me?"
"Hey, Marik's the one who calls you that."
Telita stared at Marik who turned a lovely shade of crimson.
"Well..er..you..you were sort of ..um..locked up in the palace so thats what I related you to..."
He gulped.
Telita rolled her eyes.
Good grief.
Marik sighed "Is it okay if me and 'Kura catch up on things?"
"Sure." Telita said shrugging
"Why don't you get a room while we talk, i'll meet you there."
Telita nodded and headed back to the wagon for money.
The small children ran around her feet, chasing the boy with the ball.They ran around the corner and dissappeared.Telita smiled again, she reached the wagon and took her basket out. She walked back, thinking about her Palace, come to think about it, she had been like a bird, she was not allowed to leave the palace under any circumstances.Caged.Trapped.Lost. That's what she had been.
She handed some money to the clerk, who gave her the room number and a copper key. She walked past the many halls until she reached her door.Telita opened the door went inside and closed it. She realized how tired she was, and flopped on the clean bed. Pretty soon she was asleep.But her dream wasnt a dream, it was a nightmare
Mariku- Okay! Chapie 4 ALL DONE! i'm sooooooo happy!
