~*Author's Note: I'm sorry but this chapter doesn't deal with Serenity but deals with Tea, Marik and Yami. If you want to read more of the Snow White, please wait till part 4 is up. Right now, I'm really worked overload in school*~

~*Snow White pt.3*~

            "A cup of lemon juice, a black mushroom, and a few drops of this and this here and here."

            Tea was creating a potion inside her room, pouring ingredients inside a huge pot. A book laid beside her titled 1001 Dark and Dry Spells.

            "Oh Serenity," Tea smirked as she poured in a teaspoon of iodine. "You managed to escape death once sister but I'll make sure you will never get that chance again."

            "You know there are downfalls to those spells you tend to create?" a voice called from the darkness.

            "What the?" Tea held up a candle. "All right Marik, show yourself. I don't know how the hell have you been able to sneak inside my room seeing that I have locked the door."        

            Marik slowly approached Tea from behind. Startled, Tea nearly dropped her candle before looking up at him.

            "What do you think you're doing?" Tea's eyes bored into his.

            He chuckled at Tea's attempt to act so tough. "I see you're trying to create a poison for your sister. Oldest trick in the book. You're copying Disney's version of Snow White!"

            "Shutup!!" Tea snapped.

            "Besides, if you hadn't already known, there is a cure for every spell you create."

            "This spell will cause her to fall into a sleeping death. So once her little friends find her on the ground, they'll bury her alive." She laughed at her own plan.

            "Again, another Walt Disney scam." Marik retorted, his eyes rolling in the back of his head.

            "Just shutup!" Tea placed a silver bowl in front of her full of cookie dough. "It's my business Ishtar so back off." She sprinkled the liquid all over the dough, mixing it.

            "It could be my business as well Mazaki because for starters, I know where I dropped your sister."

            "Yeah, well I don't need your help. My friend Ishizu will show me where that little twit is hiding."

            "Hmph!" Marik's lips curled into a grin. "Making the sleeping death potion…hmm…did you care to read what has been said on the bottom of the page?"

            "Let's see," she read the page. "Warning, the cure to break this spell is of one's love's first kiss. Bah!" Tea slammed the book shut. "That's pathetic! Who wants to fall for that sort of girl anyway?"

            "Making cookies huh? And how will you pass off giving it to Serenity?"

            Tea smirked. "That's the fun part. With my perfect disguise, she will never see right through me."

            "Well, well, I would like to see that." Marik smirked as he watched Tea scoop the dough onto the baking sheet. "It's obvious to me that you won't be able to pull this off. Why, you can't even kill your sister the first time you tried."

            "That's because you stabbed me in the back Marik!" Tea placed the baking sheet inside the oven. "Damn it, you always ruin everything for me ever since I was a kid!"

            "I guess that explains why you detest me." He crossed his arms over his chest.

            "What do you mean detest?" Tea slammed the oven door shut. "I hate you!"

            "Bear in mind that you're bearing my child." Marik wrapped his arms over Tea, poking her stomach gently. "Like it or not Mazaki, I have secrets to reveal to," he chuckled, "my boss. I'm sure he would love to hear my report."

            "Listen Marik," Tea shoved Marik as hard as he could. "You're not my mother or my nanny or my bodyguard! You work for my father and nothing more!"

            "Child," he laughed softly. "I work many tasks ever since you were young. Ah yes, I was a young apprentice by the time you were four. I was looking for a job since my family was on welfare. I was ten at that time and your father was happy enough to take me in. I started off babysitting you two for the next few years. Cute that your father made me bodyguard for you two until about four years ago when I was promoted to his associate."

            "Why do I have the feeling that you're lying?"

            "I do not lie. That amnesia you had gotten when you were about fifteen after the car accident. Some of your memories had been distorted, yes."

            "I've had enough of your fairy tales Marik!" Tea turned her back towards him, undressing herself, donning on a black skirt that reached her knees, a white shirt, black vest and a black sash over her shoulder with patches sewn on. "I guess all I have to do is wait for two hours until the cookies are baked."   

            "Well, well, of all things," Marik laughed softly. "The all powered tramp known as Anzu Mazaki is a girl scout."

            "If you don't mind Marik," Tea sneered. "I'm trying to braid my hair so Serenity wouldn't recognize me."

            Chuckling, Marik sat on the bed pulling Tea onto his lap. Obviously, Tea flinched but he held her down.

            "Just sit still and I'll braid your hair. Don't wanna get a contraction too early now don't you?"

            "Just for that, you have a part on this scheme." She felt Marik tugging on her hair. "If I don't have a second one involved, all evidence will be pointing to me."

            "Isn't that why I'm your bodyguard?" Marik laughed softly, braiding Tea's hair into two French braids.

            "Enough with the flirts Ishtar. You're playing my father and you're going to take me where she's hiding."

            "Really?" he started to weave another strand. "I thought you were going to ask Ishizu."

            "Forget her," Tea placed on a pair of fake thick glasses. "Fine, this should get me through with no one suspecting me."

            Taking out his keys, Marik stood up only to make his way towards the door. "I'll meet you by the parking lot."

            "Whatever Marik," Tea placed her feet inside a pair of fancy, short-heeled boots. "Just go. Be sure you put on a disguise so Serenity won't recognize you."

            Marik closed the door behind him, making his way out of the offices and towards the elevator. Pushing the down button, he whistled to the tune "Leaving on a Jet Plane". The door finally opened and there stood Yami, his eyes locked onto Marik's as he stepped inside.

            "You're hiding something from me Marik." Yami continued to eye Marik. "It's quite unusual, as we both know, that Serenity would be gone for this long."

            "I'm sure she'll be fine with Malik." Marik pushed the main floor button.

            "See, there's the problem. Why is she at your brother's house in the first place?"

            Marik crossed his arms over his chest. "You are sounding just like Tea. Bitchy."

            "You're up to something." Yami spoke in a low voice. "I suspect you had something to do with Serenity's disappearance. I don't know if you have noticed but the boss is deathly worried about her."

            "Anzu must've gave her dad an alibi."

            "I watched Anzu give that stupid lie and I don't think her father bought it."

            Marik tied his hair back, placing on dark sunglasses. "Yami, you wouldn't believe what has happened the last day between me and Tea."

            "You still call her by her pet name?" Yami gave Marik a strange look. "I see how you have been flirting with her."

            "There is a chain going on. I flirt with Anzu, she flirts with you, but who you have a crush on is the question."

            The twenty two year old had his gaze fixed to the floor. "Do you really want to know who I love?"

            "No," Marik kept his gaze on Yami. "But do tell anyway."

            Sighing, Yami stuffed his hands in his pockets. "Keep in mind that the age gap is quite a bridge but…"

            "Oh, oh, oh," Marik laughed softly. "I know who it is Yami. You like Serenity!"

            "I guess my clue paid off."

            "That really is a huge age gap. I mean, she's still in high school, a teenager. And you…you're an adult. Rapist!"

            "Look who's talking?" Yami glared at Marik, crossing his arms over his chest. "You got Anzu pregnant!"

            "You will never believe what has taken place one day ago." Marik chuckled. "Anzu has been meddling with the dark side. So she hired me to assassinate her own sister."

            "Why the hell would she do that?"

            "It's not to run your father's hotel. She's doing it to get to you."

            "She's gone insane!" Yami could hardly believe what he was hearing.

            "Indeed she has." The elevator door finally opened as Marik stepped out. "But I'll deal with her myself."

            "What kind of deal did you pull off with Mazaki anyway?"

            Stopping in his tracks, Marik chuckled softly before exiting the hotel.

~*Thank you to all those who reviewed. Now to answer a few questions and comments from the first two chapters of S.W*~

alwaysforever: I appreciate your opinion. But…gory details?!? Are you referring to Marik flirting with Tea or Serenity explaining to Yugi where babies come from? I don't believe it is gory at all as long as I did not go into exact detail and turn this fic to a rated-X one. Please keep in mind (and this goes for all you readers) that this fic is never intended for little kids (not saying you're one but I'll never know) and that's why you will be seeing such scenes when there's very light, light "making out" and when characters would act rather unusual and naughty (again, no X rated related. I do watch what I write you know). So, that explains why it's PG-13 instead of PG or G. Hope you understand and keep in mind that future fairy tale stories will have these sort of things.

Random Insane Person: I used Serenity instead of Tea for a couple of good reasons. One, Tea is the most common used character in any fic whether dealing with Marik, Bakura, or Yugi/Yami. Second, Serenity, in my opinion, is one of those overly goody overly sweet girls in Yu-Gi-Oh…So sweet that they would probably make you puke. Kinda like Snow White, per say?

Dreaming Child: Oh yeah, it's fun to mess with the characters of Yu-Gi-oh. Just as long as they don't sue me for making them being unusual characters hehehe. Oh yeah, BTW, from your other review in my other fic (Hint: Deals with Bakura). Six words: Let the force be with you LOL I think you know why I put this down hehehehe.

Fazy: Don't we all love the evil Dr. Anubis ~laughs~ Nah, thought it should be a gag or two. Now…about what Yugi said, well, this story has Yugi as we never knew him. A bit cranky in between, a bit sarcastic along the way (must be going through puberty) and who can be a bit spoiled (after threatening Yami he's going to break the puzzle and never put it back ^_^).
