the other chappies. Enjoy! ^_^]
Chapter Eight: River Song
When the Rozene family found out about the death of Mr. Ishtar, they immediately came to take Kara away. Marik didn't see her again after that day.
Unbeknownst to him, her parents had taken her far away from Egypt, into Sudan, and left a note "from Kara", telling Marik that she was moving on. Marik cried for many days after that, thinking that Kara was leaving him because of him kissing her.
Unfortunately, both Zania and Thestral Rozene died of unknown causes only a week later. Because of this, Kara was taken in by her older brother Roth and his wife Heidi, all the way in Domino, Japan. Kara knew in her heart that Roth would never let her go back to Egypt as long as she lived, but she never gave up hope that Marik would come for her.
And that's where our story now picks up, a year later in Domino City....
~*~
Marik sighed as he sat down in his Rare Hunter throne. He had been awoken by another dream about Kara. 'How I miss her,' he thought to himself, 'I just wish I could've seen her one more time before she left.'
He tucked his Millennium Rod into his pocket, which was rather unusual for him, and took out a ragged sheet of paper. It was the letter that was signed with Kara's name. Marik looked over the words, even if he knew them all by heart;
Dear Marik,
I am so sorry for the trouble I had to cause you. And I am sorry about your father. My parents wish me to move, and I am sorry, but I feel the strong need to go with them. I need to move on, and so do you. Fulfill your destiny, and I wish you well.
At Your Service Until Destiny's End,
Kara
Marik sighed again. 'Kara, why did you think you caused me trouble?' he asked himself sadly, looking down at the floor, 'You never did... you gave me so much, and then you had to take it away?! Kara, I loved, you, why couldn't you see it, damn it?!'
"Master Marik?" It was Odean. "Yes, Odean?" Marik said, sounding rather pitiless.
"We've located Obelisk the Tormentor, sir. It was just played a few minutes ago."
"Really?" Marik said with mild interest.
"Yes, Master Marik. The card's owner is Seto Kaiba."
Marik suddenly became stiff in his seat, and whispered one word, "Ishizu."
~*~
Kara opened up the door. "I'm here," she called sadly. She promised herself that she would never call "I'm home," in this house, because technically, she was not.
"Kara!" Roth said, sounding happy, "How was your trip?"
"Okay," Kara said in a monotone, dropping her stuff near the door and not meeting her brother's eyes.
"What is it?" asked Roth, now sounding concerned, "Was Egypt really that bad?"
Kara couldn't stop herself. She started to cry.
"Kara!" Roth said, holding her and trying to calm her down, "What is it, sister?"
"M-Marik..h-he..."
"Him?" Roth sounded disgusted. He did not like it when Kara mentioned him, because he felt that she was better than him after everything he had done. "What did he do?"
"H-h-he wasn't there, Roth!" Kara sobbed, "I looked and looked for him in the Tomb Keeper Quarters, but they were gone! Ishizu and Odean and Marik... they were all gone!"
"Well, good riddance!" snapped Roth, letting go of her, "If he's going to do so much pain, then I'm glad he's gone!"
"Brother!" Kara snarled, "How could you say such a thing?! He's my friend!"
"Friend?!" Roth retorted, "How can you call him that?! He killed both our parents!"
"You have no proof for that statement!" Kara growled, "They died of an unknown factor!"
"You know it as well as I do, Kara," Roth said furiously, "Marik snuck into where they were sleeping, and killed them while they were dreaming away!"
"He would never!" Kara yelled, tears of fury coming into her green eyes, "He did not kill them!"
"He killed his own father!"
"No he didn't!"
"You saw it happen!"
"That wasn't his fault!"
"Look, I know you believe in evil spirits, but let me tell you something! There aren't such things as Yamis! Marik killed them, and I'm not letting you die at his hands as well, so you're going to stop your search for him now!"
Roth stomped out of the room. Kara ran up the stairs, jumped onto her bed, and began to cry.
'Marik, where are you?'
~*~
'I dreamed you were a rich man,
And that I have no place to go.
I came to you to see if you would take me in,
Through golden curtains you said you'd let me know.
Well, you smoke for ten and you drank for twenty,
And your fickle heart will never be true.
But still I feel the wind in from the harbor,
That's when I know the longing for you,
When I know the old longing for you.'
-Suzanne Vega, 'Harbor Song'
[Kitty: That's SO SAD..... ;_;
Marik: KARA!!!!!!
Kara: MARIK!!!!!
*they hug each other, bawling at the top of their lungs*
Others: -_-;;;;;;;
Kitty: Reviews, Lina?
Lina: Once again StoryWeaver1's first.
Kitty: In the Japanese series, Y. Marik killed him. In the American series, they softened it by having Y. Marik send him to the Shadow Realm. Now you know the answer; YES, I AM GOING INTO BATTLE CITY.
Yugi: Monica Isabella?
Kitty: I shall. ^_~ I'm your fav author? WOWIE!!!!!!! ^_____^
Yugi: You're the second person Kitty knows who has said that...
Kara: You think it should've happened when we were older? I DON'T WANT IT TO HAVE HAPPENED AT ALL! ;_;
Marik: Neither do I. ;_;
Lina: Emi-Chan's TWO reviews?
Kitty: No, I'm not from the Midwest. I'm from the East Coast. And I'm not surprised you haven't heard these songs, because the singers aren't extremely famous, well, except for the Dixie Chicks....
Yugi: ^___^ THEY RULE!
Kitty: YES! ^____^ You know 'Impossible'? GOOD! I'm trying out for Cinderella at my school, that's one thing that inspired using it! ^_^
Marik: And yes, my father is stupid.
Kara: My parents are worse! ;_;
Kitty: Kani; Ishizu did it for Marik's and the Ishtar family's sake. You know how she is about destiny...well, at least until Kaiba beats her.
Kaiba: *pops out* ^____^ *vanishes to go have fun with Jesse*
Ishizu: :P I hate you, Kitty, I really do.
Kitty: LIKE I CARE! :P Anyway, R&R!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^]
