~*Before I continue on with my Snow White story, here's the ripped page from Goldilocks and the Three Yamis? (too much time on my hands with other issues so I don't have time to e-mail for those who request it)*~
"I think your
Yami is fine Yugi." Marik smiled. "It's you who's going nuts."
he then pointed the rod towards Mai. "See you in hell you little..."
"NOOOO!" Yugi
screamed, jumping up and trying to grab Marik's rod. Marik started swinging the
rod around and around with Yugi holding on.
"Yugi," Marik was getting pissed. "Can't you see I'm doing a
favor here. The little girl tried to invade your room."
"And she stole your clothes." Bakura added.
Yugi's puzzle started to glow as he changed back to Yami. "Ignore that
idiotic hikari of mine. Just send her mind to the shadow realm." Yami
started to twitch once more, changing back to Yugi. "No! Just let her
leave!"
"She used your shower and she ate all your damn soup!" Bakura glared
down at Yugi.
"So what?" Yugi looked up at Bakura.
Mai looked at the three rather strangely. "You know what? Why don't I just
leave and you guys can forget this all happened."
"NO!" Bakura and Marik glared at Mai.
"Yugi here is just going through puberty." Bakura tried to restrain
Yugi from Marik.
Yugi kept his grip on Marik's rod. "No! I won't let you! And of all people,
it had to be a woman!"
"Man, woman, so what?" Marik looked down at Yugi. Finally, Bakura
managed to yank Yugi off of Marik. Marik pointed his rod towards Mai. "Now
my dear, I'm going to send you to a very beautiful place called the Shadow
Realm. A place of paradise and tranquility."
"Yeah right." Yugi muttered.
"Now my dear," Marik raised his rod. "Say hello to my father for
me, if you ever see him." the rod started to glow and the whole room was
surrounded in darkness.
Suddenly, however, the glow faded away and the room began to return to normal.
"What the? What's going on?" Marik looked over his millenium rod.
"Oh crap, the batteries are dead."
"Hey," Bakura looked towards the bed. "She's gone."
"What the?" Yugi, Marik and Bakura gazed down at Yugi's bed. There
had been no trace of escape from the window nor had they heard any footsteps
when they were in darkness.
"Where do you think she could have gone to?" Yugi looked down at
wonder.

"You know Yami, I noticed something." Yugi sat up on his bed playing with Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl plushies. "All of your stories so far suck. It's more worse than the time Kaiba told the story of how he became a rich sucker."
"Don't push your luck Yugi. This used to be your book." Yami sipped on his mug of coffee. "Now here, a long and good story. Ever heard of Snow White?"
"Heard her, bored her, shot her, screwed her." Yugi replied sarcastically.
"Whatever." Yami looked through the book, trying to find the page for Snow White. "Here we go now…"
Once upon a time in Domino City, a rich man had lived with his two daughters. His wife had recently passed away, leaving him to raise the girls.
One day when the girls turned sixteen and nineteen, their father had been struck with a disease that caused him to live the rest of his life in blindness. No longer could he handle the harsh sunlight. Ever since that day, he changed from a pleasant man to a grumpy one who always complained about how he couldn't see. Even with the new housekeeper he just hired, he still was complaining about his condition.
That very same day, he called forth his two daughters into the living room.
"Tea, Serenity," his hands tried to reach for the coffee mug on the table. A blonde woman in a French maid suit stepped in, picking up the cup for him, helping him take a sip.
"Bakura sir," the maid settled his cup back on the table. "You have to be more careful."
"Mai please," Bakura grunted, folding his hands in his lap. "I'm fine." He then remained silent until he heard two pairs of feet shuffling in.
"What is it father?" a young brunette sat on one end of the couch.
"Yeah dad." A tall girl with brown hair sat on the rocking chair. "What is it?"
"Well, you see girls, because of your father's condition, I'm unable to run the business on my own. Therefore, I'm proposing that if one of your girls find a good husband, you will be able to help me run the Domino Hotel Chain."
"How long do we have until we find a man?" Tea crossed her arms over his chest.
"At least before my condition get s worse." Bakura stood up with a cane in his hand. "You girls should get ready for your shifts." He started to make his way towards the door but accidentally tripped over a stool. "Oh crap!"
"Dad, are you all right?" Serenity ran towards her father, who laid crumpled on the floor. Taking his arm and placing it over her shoulder, she then helped him off the floor.
"My dear I'm fine." Bakura smiled. "Mai!"
Mai entered with a feather duster in her hand. "Yes Mr. Bakura?"
"Prepare the bath with warm water." He rubbed his forehead. He then placed his hand on Serenity's shoulder, placing a kiss on her cheek. "Go now, I shall see you two later." Mai then stepped in and carried Bakura to the bathroom.
Tea glared down at her sister as she watched her father being carried. Being the oldest, she was one of the secretaries while Serenity was nothing more than an office working, middle class elevator girl. Serenity's job was easy. All she had to do was push buttons for the hotel guests.
Lucky tramp, she said in her mind. After all, Serenity got to meet a lot of celebrities and was lucky enough to get tons of autographs, their private numbers and their addresses. And boy did she write frequently and sometimes called them. Some of those famous people were Linkin Park, Utada Hikaru, Limp Bizkit, and even some of the Playboy Models that did a photo shoot not too far back.
"Morning Serenity." A tall, blonde hair man stepped inside with a luggage in hand. He wore a long black jacket with matching pants, white shirt and a red tie.
"Morning Yami." Serenity smiled. "What floor?"
"Tenth floor." Yami replied. Serenity pushed the button that labeled "10" and soon the door closed.
"So," he grinned. "How's the big man doing? Still grumbling every morning?"
"Sometimes." Serenity watched the numbers slowly change. "Actually, his condition is getting worse. He can't run the company on his own ever since he went blind. He can't handle the sunlight and so, he comes up with this silly proposition."
"What proposition?"
"Well, since he cant run the hotel on his own, he said that if we managed to get ourselves a man, we'll be able to help him."
"That sounds like a bit of trouble." Yami leaned against the wall.
"Why do you say that?"
"Mainly because your older sister Tea has been after me for years. Even after I told her that I loved someone else."
"Really?" Serenity's eyes lighted up. "Like who?"
To this, Yami's lips curled to a grin. "Well, let's just say…" but before he could go any further, the elevator door opened, finally reaching the 10th floor. "Well I'm off. When is your break?"
"11:30"
"Good. I'll meet you at the lobby and then we can go get lunch from there. Later Serenity."
Serenity waved back as the elevator door closed.
"Rishid, could you watch my desk for a bit. I have to take a break to the bathroom."
Rishid didn't look up as he continued typing something on the computer. Tea made her way into the private bathroom, locking the door behind her. Ah yes, her own bathroom. No one, not even her father and sister, knew she took in the Dark Arts.
"Mirror, mirror on the wall," Tea smirked. "Come out, come out wherever you are."
Suddenly, an image of a slightly elder woman appeared in the mirror. She sat on a stone pillar with a few butterflies in her hands. "What the?" she turned towards Tea. "Oh, it's you again."
"Mirror, mirror on the wall. Me or Serenity, who's the prettiest of them all?"
"Thought you figured that out long ago." She released the butterflies in her hands. "Can't you see that your sister Serenity is much more prettier than you Miss Mazaki?"
"Why you double crossing, little vixen…" Tea clenched her fist.
"Ishizu," a male voice called out. "You have a 4:00 appointment with Dr. Anubis."
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that," she then turned towards Tea. "Sorry Miss Mazaki, I have a dental appointment."
"What?" Hey wait a minute…" but Ishizu's reflection faded away. "Damn it!" she then opened the door noticing someone else sitting on her chair. "Hey! Hey you, get off my chair."
The chair turned around and there sat n elder looking man with wild, light brownish hair. He wore a dark business suit with a white tie, looking up at Tea. "Hello Miss Anzu Mazaki." A smirk curled his lips.
Tea's face twisted into a sneer. "Mr. Marik Ishtar." She crossed her arms over her chest. Marik was one of the top associates for Bakura, not to mention the most flashiest and snobbiest in Tea's point of view. "What do you want?"
"Decided to stop by and take a visit to a sweet little girl." He reached out to run his fingers through her hair.
Tea slapped Marik's wrist away. "Pervert!"
Marik laughed softly. "Hmph… I heard you talking to yourself in the bathroom. Not a good sign."
"You didn't have to listen in you know."
"But what fun would that be if I had not?" that grin had yet to leave Marik's lips.
"All right, that's enough you perv!" Tea tried to shake Marik off the chair. "Off you go or I'll call security." Suddenly, something struck Tea as a plan formulated in her mind. "Better yet," she pulled Marik into the bathroom, locking it in place.
"Well, well," Marik looked at Tea, still grinning. "First you're a powered up psycho and now you've turned into a masked, innocent little girl."
"Look Marik, there is something that I want you to do for me." Said Tea in a shaky voice.
"Well that's a first." Marik chuckled.
"I'm serious." Tea tensed. "I want you to take Serenity out."
"That's it? Heh, as easy as it is, I don't have to."
"Let me finish! You take her someplace and you kill her."
Marik's eyes widened. "Lady, have you gone crazy?"
"Just to make sure you don't double cross me," Tea opened the medicine cabinet, taking out a container and tossing it to him. "Bring back her heart and both of her eyes in that."
"What do I get out of this?" Marik swallowed.
"Whatever you desire."
"Oh really? A date and a one night stand at a hotel at my choice."
Tea was stunned at what Marik just proposed. "What?!?"
"That's what I desire, not to mention my offer sweetie." Marik tossed the container up and down his hand.
An irritating noise escaped from Tea. Marik had always been the manipulative type. He had flirted with her for nearly a year. "All right fine. One date, one one-night stand."
"I could make it more than a one night stand." Marik chuckled.
Ticked off, Tea punched Marik right in the face before leaving the bathroom.
At around 11:30, Serenity was ready to meet up with Yami. She had just finished changing to regular clothes. She got into the elevator and pushed the main button that would take her to the lobby. Suddenly, the elevator stopped at the 7th floor. The door slid open and there stood Marik in his business suit and a purple container in hand.
"Marik?" Serenity gave him a strange look.
"Well, well." Marik stepped in. "If it isn't Serenity."
"Wow," she smiled. "It's been so long. How was America?"
"It's not so bad. Just doing a bit business here and there." He gave a quick look at Serenity. She was wearing a black tank top and blue shorts. She only wore a pair of casual brown sandals. "By the way, Yami said he can't make it today. Apparently, your father kept Yami busy with the paperwork.
"Oh dear," Serenity gazed at the ground.
"Hey," Marik placed his hand on her shoulder. "I'm free. Maybe we can go Chinatown and get into a little sight-seeing."
"Great, sure." The elevator finally stopped at the lobby. The two stepped out as Marik took Serenity by the hand. He caught a glimpse of Tea and Yami chatting away, their backs turned. Marik assumed that Tea must've told the same story to Yami as he did with Serenity. They went out of the hotel and into the parking lot where his new Mitsubishi was parked. They both got in and soon, Marik started to back up and there they were off to Chinatown.
Hey, there's this real cool restaurant not far from here," Marik made a right finding a parking spot by an ordinary Chinese restaurant. "You need a break from all the fancy food." He then jumped out of the car and Serenity followed. Taking her by the hand, he then led her past the restaurant.
"Marik slow down!" Serenity tried to catch up with him. "You're going too fast!"
"But Marik didn't slow down as he pulled Serenity into the alley, pinning her to the wall."
"Marik have you gone insane?" Serenity glared at him.
But Marik didn't answer her. With one hand, he clamped it over her mouth, silencing her cries. Reaching inside his coat, he took out a knife, the blade gleaming within the sunlight. He saw Serenity's eyes widened with fear as he neared the tip of the blade towards her neck.
Closing her eyes tightly, Serenity expected to feel some pain, expected to feel the blade wedge inside her flesh. Instead all she felt was nothing. Opening her eyes, she saw Marik standing there, gazing at the knife in his hand. He then placed the knife back in his coat taking Serenity's hand, leading her out of the alley. "Come on, let's go."
"Marik, what's going on?" Serenity followed him.
Marik remained silent as he led her back to the car. The two got in and Marik started the car once again. All was silent as he stopped by the meat market. "Wait here." He closed the door, making his way inside the shop.
"Morning sir," the shopkeeper looked up from the cashier stand. The store was empty for the hour.
Marik made his way towards the shopkeeper. "I'll take a pair of pig's eyes and a pig's heart/
"Sir that's illegal!" the shopkeeper's eyes widened. Marik cleared his throat, holding out a $100 bill. "Oh," the shopkeeper laughed nervously. "You mean you wanted something out of a pig? I just kill pig this morning." He took the money eagerly, placing it inside his cashier before making his way towards the back.
"Did you wash the blood off?" Marik leaned against he counter.
"No wash blood off yet. No pick out any organs yet." The shopkeeper called out. In minutes, the shopkeeper handed him a bag with fresh pig eyes and the heart all covered in blood inside.
Marik left the shop and headed back in the car, starting up the engine.
Serenity looked up at Marik. "Now can you tell me what's going on Marik?"
"Your sister…your sister has gone mad." Marik made an exit out of Chinatown." She wanted me to kill you."
"What?" Serenity was stunned at what Marik was saying. "Why?"
"It seems that Tea's jealous of you and how happy you are. I tell you, she'll stop at nothing to get to you and kill you. This ain't about running your father's hotel, it's about getting Yami."
"Where…where should I go?"
Marik drove into the forest grounds. "I have a brother who lives around here. I'm sure he'll take you in." he then stopped in front of a cottage by the lake. "Here we are."
Serenity looked out seeing the cottage, then looked back at Marik. Unlocking her seatbelt, she slowly got out of the car. "What about Tea?"
"Don't worry, I'll keep her in line and I'll be sure to keep an eye on Yami." He then drove off leaving Serenity standing there.
It was 4:30 when Tea's shift had finally ended for the day. She then saw the familiar purple container, then looked up at Marik. "You actually went through with it?"
Marik nodded slowly. "She squirmed a lot though." He watched Tea open the container, her lips curling into satisfaction.
"All right Marik, you pleased me enough."
"Now, about our date Miss Mazaki…" Marik gazed down at her.
"Oh crap…"
