Ch 10 ( Originally ch 11 ): Such Great Heights: Note, I own nothing but possibly a Jones soda and this CD but whatever, you're going to see a few references to songs, you don't like it…kiss my story. o.O –gasp- okay anyway…oh and Colonel Mustard called, he said get a clue…-laughter-

Little had been said from Sera as she listened to Marik breath. His yes fluttered open as he looked though the clouded morning eyes. "S-Sera…" he stuttered. She nodded and stepped into the dim light of the room near the window. "God…" he spoke as he held her close pulling her down onto his chest, "You scared me…" His grip was strong and his gaze was even stronger, Sera didn't fight to get away from him, it was more comforting just to lay against him. He could feel it by the way she lay there she wasn't sure if this was a trap or not.

So calm he cupped her cheek, kissing her neck softly he pulled away. She smiled lightly and went shy into him once more, "I promise not to do that again…" she said innocently. He smiled, satisfied somewhat he ran his hand though her hair, "Yay" he spoke lightly "I promise not to rid myself of you…" that was good enough for her.

Her eyes shut as he played through her hair, kissing her forehead, the gash on her cheek was unsightly but so was the one on his forehead. He giggled softly and lay his head back petting her back, her hands holding to him. His crooked smile shifted lightly as he held her almost as if for life.

Her hair fell against her shoulder in the morning light, she looked to her eyes, she looked at peace, what a demented peace it was though, it was like death. Her eyes opened slightly, he was knelt beside the bed watching her, a look of surprise held his eyes for a moment as she looked to him, shying into her pillow he laughed lightly, the angel kissed face had disappeared.

He smiled, pulling her back to face him, she was shy, he smiled kissing her cheek once more, "Good morning…" he spoke as she ran her hands over her face. Amazingly cute, she brushed the cool air away from her eyes. His palm longed to touch over her flesh, his fingertips traced against her smile, caressing her cheek lightly. Her lips touched his hand softly; he smiled, at peace for a moment Marik had made up his mind. "Sera…I need you to be here…forever…you make my life worth living."

Inquisitive eyes touched over his features, "I'm right here Marik…I won't leave…" he smiled, my god it was so beautiful when he did smile, the grimace look on his face was haunting at times. "Good…" he seemed satisfied with it. He lowered his eyes looking into hers, his hands traced against her arms. Kissing lightly at her neck he spoke in a light whisper, "Madeline…" Her eyes opened faintly, she pulled away in a uneasy death. "I'm not…I'm not Madeline, Marik…" He held a look of horror as he looked over her, "Seraphina! I'm—oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to it…is just…" She released herself from his grasp, "Marik…" his eyes shut as he twisted away from her, pecking at his hair she blinked, "Marik…I know you miss her a whole lot…It's okay…" she nodded and pulled his arms around her, sitting in his lap.

"I know you're not her Sera I'm sorry, I never meant to…" she smiled and kissed his lips softly, "I know." She pulled away and intertwined her fingers in his. "I'll protect you…from the monster, he won't get you, I won't let you out of my sight…" she rested against his chest. Sealing gentle kisses upon her neck he lay his lips against her ear, kissing lightly, "Sera…" he whispered softly.
