Hello! I FINALLY finished this chapter! It took me awhile....
And I have an entire list of excuses ready. School, Writer's Block, etcetera.
Etcetera. Such a fun word.
Well, in anycase, I'll have you know, I reworked Blue Eyes. It's now five chapters shorter, with a lot of crap cut out. I also added in some things too, so you might want to relook over the chapter where Kaiba has Sentimental Thoughts. ((That's the title, right? I'm not even sure about my own stories...))
Well, I hope to get the next chapter of Sun Treasure written and up by next Tuesday. If I don't get it up by then, feel free to email me and send big rants....
And... Oh, I feel I owe these too: ((Review replies)) (((Chp 1&2)))
RGrurounigirl: .! I'm glad you like the interaction between Takara and Seto. I personally thought the phone dialogue was a fluke.
Marikzgal4eva: You're welcome! .!
Rainystar186: Sidetracked, yes. Of course, OC write ins are pretty hard to do when you sudenly switch from what you know of the Eglish dub to Cody Nelson Episode guides and are now trying to incorperate Japanese.... And yes, I like degrading characters. It's too fun! I haven't seen the episode where the last chapter took place in either, but Marik was in the room. She "ignored Mai, Namu, and Marik." It was right there in the story....
Neferneferi: School IS a pain! One of the reasons why I'm FINALLY updating so late!
PunkRocker13 and Radical Princess: I'm glad you love me so much. .
Melody89: No! Freedict is MINE!!!!! I don't want anyone else sharing my obsession with looking up random words to see what they mean in Japanese!!!
Tamir: Marik's wondering the same thing....
Rai: Otherwise known as she's going to be putting the answer in the chapter.
Lil-Riter: I DO NOT OWN YUGIOH... THE ONLY YUGIOH RELATED THINGS I HAVE ARE ABOUT A HUNDRED GAMECARDS AND THE UNCUT DUB OF HEART OF THE CARDS!
SunTreasure
The fridgid wind bit at Takara's face and hands. Her hair was covered once again by her hat. She was surprised Seto hadn't mentioned anything about Marik. She was surprised Marik hadn't said anything to her either. Maybe her luck would hold, and she wouldn't have to look him in the eyes during the next two days.
"Takara." So much for her luck holding.
"I don't want to speak to you. I never wanted to see your face again." Takara narrowed her eyes at a passing cloud.
"I'm sure you didn't." Marik came and leaned against the railing. Takara could feel his eyes boring into her. "Kind of brave of you, telling everyone who you were with me in the room."
"You already knew who I was. I was wearing this exact outfit when we last met." She tilted her head to glare at the Egyptian. "Namu? What kind of name is that?"
"It's a name. And I'm surprised that you did tell everyone who I was. You're the one who ran after a little rock through the window."
Takara growled under her breath. "Don't forget to mention the threat note you attatched, Marik."
Marik paused. In a quiet voice, he told her: "I've thought about you alot, you know."
Takara scoffed. "Oh please. Spare me. Your first love is Duel Monsters." Takara put on a mocking tone. "I've got Ra and Slifer! All I need now is to track down my sister and find out where the damn Obelisk is! And, oh yes, I've got the Mellenium STICK!"
"Rod," Marik muttered. "It's a rod."
"Now I can control your mind with my Mellenium STICK!" Takara kicked the railing angrily, turning to walk away.
"It's a rod," Marik murmurred darkly, pulling out said Item, brandishing it dangerously. "Not a stick."
"Yeah, whatever," Takara muttered, her voice ice cold and sharp as a razor. She looked over her shoulder at him, sapphire eyes flashing dangerously, looking like ice. "Just take it and shove it up your-"
"Hey Namu!" Yugi's crew greeted enthusiastically. He quickly hid his Rod behind his back. Takara continued to walk away.

"Don't get distracted," Marik warned Bakura via shadow magic.
"I'm not distracted!"
"Right. And I'm from Japan."
"I am NOT distracted!" Bakura's eyes roved over the scene before him, pausing on the unfamiliar face standing on the oposite side of Kaiba as Mokuba.
"Do not even think of it."
Bakura gave Marik a strange look. "Possesive, are we? But from what I see, she isn't yours."
"And she isn't yours to take either."
"I am not interested in that fool Mortal."
"Good."
Meanwhile, Takara was keeping herself busy, listening her brother announce the altitude, telling them all that the current of the wind was as strong as a sword slicing the body. 'No... really?' Takara had to ask. The two duelists, Yugi and Bakura were talking on the platform. Takara remembered Bakura vaguely from her first day of school. He was taunting Yugi about his friends not being what they seemed. I wonder what they're talking about? Takara thought. She tuned back into the conversation between the two duelists. Saying something about Mellenium Items...
"I'm completely lost," Takara told Seto.
"Don't think too hard. You'll hurt yourself."
Takara made a face at her brother's back as he turned to face the duel.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"And the winner is Yugi Motou!"
Takara watched silently as everyone ran forward to help the fallen Bakura. She was STILL lost. They were saying something about a dark half of Bakura, and Bakura had seemed quite different than from the last time she'd met him a week ago.
"Takara. I still want to talk."
"And we have what to discuss, Marik?"
The two were now alone at the top of the blimp. Marik turned Takara around to face him.
"Takara, do you know who opened the bottle?"
Takara blinked. "What bottle?"
"The one I gave you. The rose scented one...((1))" Marik frowned in thought.
Takara blinked again, and frowned as well. "No, I don't know. I gave it back to you, remember?" Takara made a face, and turned to walk away.
"Takara wait! I have to tell you something!" Marik caught up to her and grabbed her wrist. "I..."
"You what, Marik?! Spit it out already. I'm getting sick of looking at you."
Marik blinked at his former computer hacker as she glared back at him. He'd never heard her speak so forcefully. "I..."
"Oh...." Takara doubled over, obviously in pain, clutching her stomach tightly. She made a gagging sound, and threw up in her mouth.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Takara's sickness will obviously play some role in the future, but for now.....
Note 1: I added in a little bit in "The first of many Sentimental thoughts", the seventh chapter of Blue Eyes. Unless you intend to read the chapter (I personally like the chapter now, rather than how it was before,) I'll tell you.... Seto opened the bottle and sniffed at it. Rose scented, it is.
