(Marik's POV)
I wonder how Bakura's doing with his little pet. Stupid thief-baka; didn't even believe me when I said I'd got the boy for him. He's just lucky I told him. If I hadn't the kid might've starved to death before Bakura even saw him and that wouldn't have been any fun. I did think he would've at least been to his house. I mean, how many people are there who would stay away from their house for four days in a row!
Idiot; thinking of what he said made me feel irritated again. Guess it's time to pay Malik a little visit. I do love to hear him scream. Scream, cry, beg, and plead; he should know by now that begging for mercy is useless. I don't have any mercy. Mercy is for the weak and the weak die. He's weak and helpless now and he's learned that. He's learned to obey me. Now I can just play with him whenever I want, I don't have to worry about him trying to escape. Heh, as if he could escape. It provided for an interesting distraction though, watching him run around like mad trying to get out until he exhausted himself. I had to teach him another lesson after that. He isn't allowed to try and escape. He shouldn't try to resist me at all. I'm glad he's learned that...



(Next day, Marik's POV)
I yawn and stretch, ignoring Malik's soft cry of protest as my movements irritate his wounds. Now to see about paying Bakura a little visit; I don't know why but I always feel better with him around. He's like my brother, who died I'm not quite sure how long ago. Couple thousand years maybe? I didn't leave him, even after I became a vampire. But humans are mortal, they die, and my brother eventually died, while I stayed the same.
I was really lonely till I met him. It was a couple of hundred years after my brother died and I still hadn't left Egypt. I couldn't bear to leave the place where we had been happy together for so long. And then I met Bakura, he said was running away from some other vampire who was trying to control him. He taught me all the things that vampires can do that I'd never known about and helped me get over my brothers death. He's sort of become a surrogate brother now and I never want him to leave me.
I call him and start bitching about him not believing me. He listens for a while before interrupting me in the middle of a sentence. "Yeah, yeah, I know; you were right I should have believed you."
"Good, maybe you'll listen to me now." I reply slightly irritated at the interruption. "Anyway, did you kill him yet?"
"Huh? No, I didn't."
"Okay, I'm coming over to see you and the kid."
"You are?"
"Yup, can't leave you alone too long you'll just get yourself into trouble. And I still haven't forgiven you for not believing me."
"Look, I already *said* sorry,"
"Okay, whatever, oh yeah, and I'm gonna bring Malik along too."
"What? Why..."
"Because I want him to meet your little pet," I interrupt him in turn, "Maybe he can set an example of obedience as you won't have had time to teach the boy."
"Oh, I see,"
"Good, I'll see you when I get there,"
"You're not going to try and *walk* here are you? I still haven't found a way to make this place accessible from the outside."
"Of course not, I'm going to teleport. I'm not an idiot; I'm just not in any fit state to go anywhere yet."
"Okay then, see ya,"
"See ya," and I hung up. "Get up Malik-baka; you've got to get dressed. We're going out." My little mortal's eyes shoot open and he stares at me with a panicky expression as I pull out some clothes for him as well as my normal outfit. This is going to be fun.
