Anyways, here's another chapter of "Haunted." There's a surprise waiting for you in this chapter! Enjoy!

Darkness Falls

Days had passed ever since the breakup. Mimiki wouldn't talk to anyone and Marik and the others were still confused, especially him. He still thinks that he didn't break up with her…or did he?

Marik sat in his room, in the dark feeling gloomy. He felt that he was missing something in his heart and he knew what it was. He was looking through a box of photos he had kept. As he looked at one, a teardrop fell on the one he was holding. It was a picture of him and Mimiki back in Egypt when they were 12. Then he looked at one of them that they took recently before the incident. More tears fell onto the picture. Questions ran through his mind.

How did this happen?

What caused this to happen?

Did I really break up with her but I didn't know that I did?

This was really confusing to him. Everything was mixed up!

Marik put the box of photos away and starred out the window. It was a nice sunny day but that didn't cheer him up. He couldn't deny that the past was repeating itself: the depression state he went through when Mimiki left Egypt. After starring out of the window for five minutes, he freshened himself up and decided to go on a walk. He needed to clear his mind and he needed some advice.


At Kakayu's house, the gang was sitting in her living room, talking about the incident. Everyone didn't know what to think of it. It was just so confusing.

"He said that he didn't break up with her right?" Tea asked. "Yeah." Kakayu said back. "But when Mimiki came over here, she was crying her eyes out saying that he did break up with her in the park right?" Tea asked again. "Yeah. This is just so confusing." Kakayu said. "You don't have to tell me that twice." Tea said back.

Then Serenity spoke up.

"Guys, this doesn't even sound like Marik at all! Ever since Battle City, they've inseparable. Marik would always protect her from that Daren guy and his yami. Every time you see either one of them, you always see them together! I don't think that it's Marik's fault."

Everyone stayed silent.

"We'll just have to wait and see…then maybe we'll discover something." Yugi said.


Somewhere in Domino...

Mimiki walked around the town, hoping that her depression would lift up. She walked to the park and sat on the bench in front of the lake. She sighed. At least the scenery was nice. Then someone came up to her.

"A beautiful face shouldn't have a frown on it my dear. Here's a rose to brighten up your face." the person said to her, handing her the rose.

"Oh my, thank you…um…" she said grabbing the rose. Her eyes widened. Before she could say anything, the man's eyes glowed an eerie red color. As he looked into her eyes, her eyes glowed red as well. The man offered her his hand. "Shall we go?" he asked. "Certainty." she said, taking his hand. Then they walked off into the city.


Somewhere else in Domino...

Marik walked through Domino with his head down. His eyes still held a sad emotion in them. He felt as if his life and his heart was being torn apart. As he walked, he heard a voice that he instantly recognized. Then he saw Mimiki. He was going to go up to her to sort things out, but what he saw shocked him. Then he ran to Kakayu's house.


At Kakayu's house...

As the gang sat in silence, the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it." Kakayu said. She walked to the door and opened it. "Marik! What are you doing here?" she asked. Marik kept panting. "Kakayu…we have a huge problem." "What? Come on in. The gang is here in the living room." she said. Marik stepped in as Kakayu closed the door and walked to the living room.

"Ok everyone, Marik said that he has something to tell us…and apparently its trouble." Kakayu said.

"What?" everyone asked.

"I was walking earlier in the city and I saw Mimiki…" he said.

"Yeah…" everyone said.

"She looked really happy and she wasn't alone."

"Who was she with?" Yugi asked.

Marik didn't want to let the words come out of his mouth, but he had to.

"She was with…my yami. He's back."
