This chapter is a short one.

Doesn't matter what your friends are telling you
Doesn't matter what my family's saying too
It just matters that I'm in love with you
It only matters that you love me too

Night fell over the city, and the buildings lit up. The stars shone over the city like millions of fireflies. And like every nightclubs started to open for the evening. Meaning many people started their night jobs as dancers, taxi drivers, or bartenders. Most just enjoyed the nightlife by going to parties and clubs to get drunk and pass out on the dance floor. One of the very few nighttime workers was running late big time. And it wasn't that he wasn't ready he just couldn't leave his apartment, due to the red hair girl blocking the door.

"Move Serenity."

"Can I come?"

"No, you're not old enough."

"Who says?"

"Some old guy that made the rule."

"Pleassssssssssssssssssssssse can I come!"

"NOOOOOOO, you can't. Don't you have friends?"

"Yeah, their all married or soon to be."

"What do you mean soon to be?"

"Your sister and..."

"No I don't think so."

"Why not. Don't you like him?"

"I'm fine with him, I'm just not ecstatic about that relationship."

"Why?"

"I fear he'll break my sisters heart." Marik said, "But them I'd have to break his neck."

"That's so cute. You love your sister."

"I'll see you later." Marik said escaping through the front door. But came back in quickly and locking the door.

"What's wrong?"

"Relatives. Hide in my room."

"Why would I would to hide?"

"The same reason. They can't know about my sister."

"What's wrong with her?"

"She's in love."

"That's a good thing Marik."

"Not to them. Kaiba's Japanese not an Egyptian."

"And?"

"They still go by the ancient traditions, marring inside the family or the race."

"You mean if you hadn't went psycho. Ishuzu would never have met Kaiba. Thus you could have been married to her or married already."

"You're right. It's disgusting. I don't even like kissing her." Marik pulled his red vest off, leaving the white shirt on, "Take this and call in sick for me."

"Sure what's the number?" Marik took her hand and wrote it down.

"Go before they-"

A loud bang on the door was followed by yelling, "OPEN UP WE KNOW YOUR IN THERE!" Marik opened the door and two older people a man and woman came in uninvited.

"Where's your sister, dear?" the woman said sweetly in a different language.

Giving the woman a puzzled look Marik grinned, "Can you repeat that, in English?"

"She doesn't speck English."

"How am I supposed to talk to someone that can't understand me?"

"Speck in your Native tongue." The man said.

"I don't do that anymore."

"What do you mean you do that?"

"I speck whatever language is spoken, or the most popular one."

"If you were my son I'd slap you."

"Whatever, gramps. What do you want?"

"Who is this with your sister?" he showed many photos of Ishuzu and Kaiba together.

"Why are you asking me?"

"Because I know you know were she is."

"You're wrong I don't know. I'm not her keeper."

"Well you're coming with us until you do." He man said pulling him out the door.

Marik grabbed his jacket, just as he was out the door. Serenity open the bedroom door and saw that their was know one there. She picked up the phone a called Mokuba.

"Hello?" Mokuba said sounding irritated.

"Mokuba this is just a random question but be any chance are your living relatives there."

"Yeah how'd you know?"

"Well, Ishuzu's living relative just dragged Marik away. They seem mad."

"Interracial relationships?"

"Yeah."

"Same here. They are once again going to attempt to tell Seto what to do. Boy he's going to be mad, when I tell him."

"I don't think that's a good idea."

"Why not. If my brothers angry people usually disappear until his cooled down again."

"But what about the Ishtars?"

"The who?"

"That's their last name. They probably not like your family. They are a whole lot more hostile."

"Well, they should me a even match. I think fist are going to fly."

"What are they doing now?"

Mokuba peeked into the den, "Nothing but fussing about my brothers relationship. My Aunt just called Ishuzu a slut."

"I hope Marik knows how to play dumb."

"He does we hung out once." Mokuba paused for a moment; "I got to go my brother's on the other line. Bye." Mokuba ended the call with Serenity and answered his brother, "Hey, Seto."

"Hey, Mokuba is something wrong?"

"What? No Nothings wrong. Why would anything be wrong?"

"What's wrong Mokuba I can hear it in your voice."

"Well, the tabloids, the news, the top 10 bachelors and bachelorettes." Mokuba took a deep breath, "Our family's here."
