Kira slumped against the wall of Fear's stall door. She hated her Feryl, she hated her school, she hated her GOD DAMNED LIFE!!! Kira started to cry all over again, and this time no one was coming to reassure her.
***
Marik growled out in anticipation as he marched down the hall ways, searching for Feryl. He didn't care if he got suspended for doing this to someone, especially if it was a girl. He rounded the next corner to see Feryl giggling with her group. She flipped her hair innocently from side to side as each cute boy walked by. Marik growled again, and walked straight up to Feryl.
Feryl noticed this right away, and her eyes turned a dark green, instead of the cheery ones she had jus a second before.
"What do you want Marik?" asked Feryl, placing her hands on her hips and posing as a valley girl would. She popped her bubble gum loudly.
"Why do you keep doing this to Kira?" asked Marik, clenching his fists. Feryl popped her gum once more and just shrugged. Marik's anger went beyond control my now. He lunged forward and twisted Feryls arm behind her back. The little group she was standing with were shocked to see a guy hit a girl. Marik only smirked as he heard Feryl grunt in pain.
"I'll ask you again, why?" Marik demanded. Feryl twisted her arm back and spun around so fast Marik had to let go. She smiled evilly.
"Why, I was only having a little fun." Marik narrowed his eyes. He brought his hand out in front of himself, fist clenched. He soon reopened it to reveal a dagger. Feryl's breath caught in her throat.
"Fine, I'll leave her alone, but you better watch YOUR back Marik." Feryl hissed, walking away with her little friends. Marik smiled at his defeat. Now he needed to deal with the principal. He was going to be much harder to persuade.
Walking down the hallway briskly, Marik noticed all the stares he got from the girls huddled by their lockers. Marik shuddered, and realized that Kira was the only girl he didn't mind being stared at by.
Marik stopped. What did he just think? Kira? Marik shook his head. It wasn't important at the moment, what was important was getting to the principal and smoothing out some unwanted wrinkles.
Pushing open the doors to the office, Marik walked straight up to the principal and sat down in the chair.
"Can I help you young man?" asked the principal, not looking up from the papers he was reading. Marik growled.
"You could look at me, thank you." Marik suggested, and smirked as the principal raised his shiny bald head to face Marik somewhat annoyed.
"Make this quick, I have important matters to attend to." the principal spat, as if talking to Marik was poison.
"As do I." Marik started, "I heard something about, Kira getting suspended from all extra circular activities? Well, I witnessed the ordeal with Kira being doused in soup, and the one where Feryl threatened Kira." Marik grinned, knowing he would win.
The principal put on a nasty smile. He suddenly got a bright idea.
"Well, there where no officials standing by to witness that, so I can't let Kira off for nothing."
"Oh, but I do have something."
"And what's that?" Marik smirked once more.
"Well Kira didn't have any authorities, but neither did Feryl."
"Ok, so the slap could have been anyone, but the soup incident, Kira yelled in the hallways-" the principal began, but was soon interrupted by the passing of 6 rowdy boys, all hollering at the top of their lungs. Followed by a group of girls yelling at each other, and giggling loudly.
"You aren't going to suspend them now are you?" Marik asked, as if he really wanted to know. The principal fumed.
"Fine, Kira's off the hook, but be warned, if I catch her doing anything unnecessary in these halls, she will be suspended, from SCHOOL!" the principal shouted, and Marik walked out in triumph.
After the long and tedious school day, Marik decided to pay a special someone a visit. Since he already knew how to get there, it wasn't a problem for him. Closing his eyes, Marik thought hard about the stalls and the horses at Kiras ranch. He reopened them to see the beautiful paddock, squared away on the side was the barn, with the stalls. He slowly walked towards the barn, admiring little bits and things on the way. And when he arrived there, he wished he'd of used that time to think about what to say. Looking around, Marik noticed Kira wasn't anywhere to be seen. Supposing she went out for a ride, Marik looked in all the stalls. All the horses where there, so she obviously didn't go riding. Just as he was about to turn around, he heard a very familiar voice.
"Marik?! What in the gods of Egypt are you doing here?" yelled Kira, her hands on her hips. Marik spun around to meet a very angry goddess. Oh crap. He thought.
"I..." Marik began, but Kira held up her hand to stop him. She shook her head.
"Never mind Marik, I don't want to hear your pathetic excuses. I've had enough of you. If it weren't for my meeting you, I wouldn't be in this kind of trouble." Kira spat, saying his name as if it was toxic for her to hear. Marik shuddered at her tone of voice. But Kira wasn't finished. She walked over to one of her stall doors and pulled out a curry comb to brush Fear.
"I can't believe you participated in that bet back in the classroom. I'm your friend, how could you do something like this to me?" Kira asked, on the verge of tears. Marik shook his head, and slumped down against the wall.
"I didn't Kira! I didn't mean for you to ever get in trouble. When Feryl did those nasty things to you, I guess I was scared, I was a coward. And you're absolutely right about everything. I deserve whatever you have to dish out at me." Marik confessed. He didn't want to tell her about getting her off the hook, in fear of it coming out a little to harshly. Kira blinked.
"That's right! I wish I never met you Marik!" yelled Kira, throwing down the brush, and advancing on Marik. Marik stood up, not wanting to look to pathetic in the ere of a goddess. Kira narrowed her eyes.
"Do you work for him?" she asked quietly. Marik was ready to hit something.
"NO! Why would I go behind your back like that!" Marik protested, waving his arms around like windmill.
"Because of the attention you would get."
"I don't need anymore attention that I already get."
"Well hear me out Marik, no more of this. Ok? If.....if you want me to live happily, you better see to it that you stay out of it!" warned Kira, pointing her finger at Marik. Marik looked down at his shoes, finding them really interesting at the moment.
Kira then heard him mumble something inaudible. Kira frowned.
"What, I didn't hear you."
Marik said it again, still Kira wasn't able to hear him.
"Marik, I don't have extra sensory hearing, if you want me to hear you bet-" Kira started but Marik cut her off.
"I SAID I LOVE YOU!" Marik yelled. Kira stood there, not knowing what to say.
TBC
