New chapter! Sorry that the chapters aren't that long, but I'm doing the best I can.
Otaku22: Well, Alexia, Natri, and Talra are all over 5000 years old and Marik is 18. Kinda weird, I know, but the only one I made up was Alexia. :P
Starinthenight: Yeah, I know it was really short. I hope this makes up for it! ;)
Thank you all for your reviews:)

Normal POVNatri and Marik finally arrived in Egypt after a twenty-hour flight, both extremely exhausted. Marik had made reservations ahead of time for a Jeep and it was waiting for them when they got there. Marik put the all of their bags in the back while Natri went ahead and climbed into the front seat. Marik got into the Jeep and drove off the road and through the desert. Natri just looked at him curiously. "Isn't it faster to drive on the road?" she asked. Marik smiled and shook his head. "Not to where we are going." he said. It was a clear night and the moon was full. It's light reflected off of the sand and made it seem like it was glowing. "Wow, it's so beautiful out here…" said Natri as she took in the scene around her. Marik smiled. "Yes, but it's nowhere near as beautiful as you." He bent over and kissed her. Natri smiled and blushed slightly as she looked at the desert that surrounded the Jeep.
A little while later they arrived at their hotel. Marik and Natri went inside to check in. Marik was carrying most of the luggage and Natri looked around at the lobby as Marik checked in. The room was decorated in mostly beige, white, and gold. Everything was decorated like ancient Egypt, but all the signs were in modern day Arabic, so Natri couldn't read them. She saw one sign that looked kinda like a warning. She was about to ask Marik about it when he called her over to go to their room. They go up the elevator and into their room. It was a slightly bigger than average size room. The walls were covered in beige and gold wallpaper. The room had a mini kitchen on one side and a bathroom on the other. In the middle of the room, against the wall, was a queen size bed with a red comforter on it. There was a television in front of it, and the room had a ceiling fan with a light fixture in it. There was a window on the other side of the room across from the door with a curtain on it. The curtain was fluttering slightly from the night breeze. "Wow, this is a very nice room." said Natri as she wandered in.
Marik brought in the bags and closed the door behind him. He smiled as he looked at Natri's silhouette in front of the window. "How does it feel to finally be Mrs. Marik Ishtar?" he asked as he walked up to her slowly and kissed her. she smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, then returned his kiss. "Like heaven." she said. They sat down on the bed together and started kissing each other very slowly and passionately. Marik drew his hands slowly down Natri's back, and Natri started to remove his vest from him as they were kissing. Marik's kisses slowly made their way down to Natri's neck. Suddenly, he stopped and looked at the window. "What's wrong, Marik?" asked Natri, concerned. "Listen." He said quietly, still looking at the window.
Natri's POV
I heard a noise in the distance that I hadn't heard for years. It was getting louder and closer. "Is that a-" Marik jumped up from the bed, ran to the window, and pulled back the curtains. A look of horror appeared on both of our faces and I immediately jumped up to help him try to close the window. I giant sandstorm was coming at us and coming fast. "Drat! The window's jammed!" he said, trying to pull the window down with all of his strength. "Keep trying!" I yelled as I pulled on the window with him. "It's to late!" he yelled back as the giant storm of sand and wind came upon us. The next thing I knew, Marik had grabbed me, pulled me to the side of the window, and into him.
Marik's POV
There was so much sand flying in that we couldn't even open our eyes. I tried to shelter Natri from the storm as best as I could. It was very hard to breathe. When the storm finally past us, we opened our eyes and looked around the room. The entire place was covered in sand. I wouldn't have been able to tell it apart from the desert outside if it hadn't been for the walls. "Are you alright, Natri?" I ask, concerned for her safety. "Yes, I'm fine, honey." she said. "Looks like our room isn't though. I guess it's good that we didn't take anything out of our suitcases." I let out a sigh. "Yeah, I'll go down to the lobby and see if they can give us another room since the window was jammed." I kissed her on the lips and left the room.
Natri's POV
I started to dust myself off, and then I sat on the bed to empty out my shoes. They were filled with sand. / I wonder how long of a shower it'll take for me to get all of this sand off me. / I thought to myself, giving up on dusting it off. Marik came back a short while later and said that he managed to get another room. We dusted off our luggage as best as we could and settled into the new room. It looked pretty much the same as the other room, only sand-less. "So, would you like to use the shower first?" Marik asked me I made sure the window was closed. "Uh, sure." I replied. "I think I'll probably just pass out afterward though. We haven't had any sleep for about twenty-four hours." Marik nodded. "Yeah, I'm exhausted. I guess we could wait till tomorrow night then." he said with a smile. I smiled and nodded before I went into the restroom. Once we both showered, we got into bed and fell straight to sleep, unaware of the events that were going to take place the next day.
