Well, some people wanted me to continue with Rare hunted. (WHOA! Didn't know that people liked it…) Anyways, let's recap. Marik had just won over Serenity and all of that, Joey is mad/upset but won't get in the way of his best friend's "saving the world" business, and now Serenity's saying good-bye to all her friends. What could happen next?

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.

As Joey left, Mai came in and kneeled in front of Serenity, "So… You're going to be staying here with Mark… I'm going to miss you."

"I'm going to miss you too, Mai, but just because I'm living with Marik doesn't mean I can't come see you guys anymore… does it?" Serenity asked.

Mai was silent for a moment. Sure, Serenity had the right to do whatever she wanted to do, but now that she's in Marik's hands… would he take advantage of her, or order her not to do certain things? "I…don't know what to tell you, Serenity. I have to make this quick. There are a lot of people out there waiting to say good-bye to you and Marik won't let us stay long. So, see ya girl friend!"

Serenity watched her walk out as Tea came in.

"Hey, Serenity, don't forget that if you ever need to talk to anyone about anything who WON'T freak out and go ballistic, you can always talk to me and Mai. You see, Mai and I wanted to get you a birthday present… and well… I don't know when we'll see each other again, so here. It's an early birthday present from me and Mai," Tea handed Serenity a small box.

Serenity opened it and there sat a silver flip-phone and two slips of paper. She gasped at the gift. Never, in her entire life, had she gotten such an expensive gift. "Thank you Tea… tell Mai I said 'thanks'."

"No problem. Oh, and those papers have our cell phone numbers so you can call us whenever. Well, I'd better get going. I'll see you later, Serenity."

"Good-bye, Tea." Serenity whispered as Tristin came in.

"Serenity… If that bastard does anything to hurt you, you tell me and I'll-"

"Tristin… It's fine. Marik is a nice guy."

Tristin's eye twitched a little, "N-nice? Him? Serenity, he's the one who bargained you for the millennium puzzle and the Egyptian God Cards! He locked Duke and I in the dungeon! Serenity, don't fall into a false sense of security." Tristin hugged Serenity and held her for a moment. Serenity didn't fight back or anything. She knew he was worried, so she let him hug her.

A pounding of a fist could be heard on the door, "TRISTIN! NO HUGGIN' MUH SISTA! YA HEAR DAT?"

"How'd he know? Anyways, I'll talk to you later, Serenity."

(Tristin sucks… DIE TRISTIN!)

Tristin walked outside, but just before he walked out, he turned around slightly and smiled sweetly at Serenity. Yes, Tristin loved her from the moment he saw her, but Serenity couldn't see him as more then just a friend.

"Serenity?"

Someone snapped her out of her short daze. It was Duke. "Hey… you are…?"

Duke sweat dropped, "He, he, he… it's Duke. You know… I carried you away from the Rare Hunters and we were in the back of the truck…"

"Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't know…"

"It's fine. Anyways, you sure you'll be alright with that psycho?" Duke asked her.

Serenity smiled, "Y'know… Marik's not all that bad as everyone says he is. He's actually very sweet."

"S-sweet? Did he brain-wash you or something?"

Serenity shook her head, "No, he was just really friendly and hospitable to me."

"You've got to be kidding me…" Duke rubbed the back of his head.

"HEY! I THINK YOU'VE BEEN IN THERE LONG ENOUGH!" Joey yelled from behind the door.

"Heh… I'll see ya around, Serenity. Bye!" he knelt down and kissed her hand. Then smiled sweetly and left.

Then entered Ryou Bakura, "Hey, I know you might not know me very well, but I came to say good-bye just like everyone else." Serenity wasn't looking at him, she was interested in his hair. 'Like white bunny ears… I wanna… touch 'em.' So Serenity reched out and messed up his hair.

"Erm… Serenity? Are you ok? Serenity?"

Serenity's still playing with his hair, "So, are you albino or something?"

Ryou just sighed and sat there for a while. After a minute or so Ryou finally stoped her, "Uh, could you stop now? You've been doing that for a while now…"

"Oh! I'm sorry… You're hair looks like bunny ears, it's cute." (A/N: Kawaii! Bunny ears!)

Ryou sweat dropped, "I'll be going now… See ya!" Ryou turned around and ran out the door. (A/N: Run, Ryou, RUN!)

Yugi came in next. "Hey, Serenity. Sorry about the whole, me not being able to free you from Marik because of my goal to save the world. Can you forgive me?"

"Duh. It's fine. Marik's really nice, if you get to know him in the right way. Well, I like him. Don't tell Joey. He might do something… crazy… again…"

"Don't worry. I won't tell. Well, I hope you'll be happy and comfortable here. I'll see you around. Bye!" Yugi waved back to her as he left.

Serenity smiled and waved back as she always does. She'd miss all of her friends. She took out her new cell phone and the numbers. Her first cell phone. She couldn't wait to use it.

She smiled as she heard Marik's voice in the hallway.

Marik entered the room where she was. This would be the first time she saw the man of her dreams.

He walked closer to her, his hood covering his face, and said, "Hey, Serenity. Time for bed. We'll be going to Kaiba's tournament in a week, just to let you know."

"Marik, I want to see your face."

"Heh. That's just like you. To ask the most obsurd requests. Ok, whatever." Marik lowered his hood.

Serenity gasped, "I didn't' think you would look so…" (A/N: Hot? XD)

Marik smiled, "Let's go, we'll talk more in the morning."

His smile. It was unlike any other smile she'd seen before. At that moment, she knew she'd love Marik forever.

Well. That's all I'm going to do for now. I'll do a lot of "dating stuff" next. It'll be a mushy-gooshy lovey-dovey fiction with a lot of… stuff… Okay, see ya!
