Hello everyone who thought I was dead. I have been basically for the past months, since March I think but anyway I am back and ready to start writing again. I hope you all still wanted to read the sequel to "Crimson" because here it is.

The first part is basically the same as in the end of Crimson but the next chapter is under it and the chapter and stories I will be writing will be longer than the ones before…If not I simply will stop writing once and for all.

Remeber, Au, OOC, some swearing and not much else...

Well here we go, thanks to everyone who stayed with me in this story's predecessor and with no further due I present "Soul-Mates"…

Title: "Soul-Mates"

By:Misery Johnson

Quick summary-

A roar erupted from heaven as two souls were torn apart. "Marik, don't leave me" screamed Tea as she watched her beloved being shredded to pieces by the angels that were supposed to protect them. "Tea" choked out Marik as he disappeared completely.

Tea was the next to go as she felt her body become numb."It would've been easier for him if he hadn't resisted" said a loud and serious voice.

"Come on Duke you shouldn't have separated them so quickly"

"Do not question me Tristan. The only reason they even made it to heaven was because of their original pure souls but they were no longer pure but tainted by darkness."

The angel sighed as he watched the earth with hope. 'They'll just have to find each other again. I hope they meet up before the past repeats itself for the girl" was his last thought as the view of earth began to get blurry from the clouds that covered heaven's paradise…

Chapter 1: A New Beginning

The sun was shining, the birds were singing and the day couldn't have been lovelier, well for anyone who wasn't Marik Ishtar. Said boy awoke with his usual foul mood, throwing a pair of sneakers at his window to try and knock off the bird's chirping and tried to bury his face in his pillow.

He just couldn't understand why it was so hard to just sleep in and forget about waking up early for school. He hated high school, especially his. Domino High was the most wretched place to go that anyone could imagine.

He, and every other unfortunate teenager, was forced to go to school from 8:00 am until 3:00 pm (A/N: Um, since I am very lazy to actually look it up, they'll have the same schedule I had, okay?) and be tormented constantly by the evil school faculty.

The food was wretched and always cold. The people were annoying as hell as well as the teachers. He was on the top ten list to be expelled from school but always managed to scieve off at the last moment. he had proudly made such list on his second day as a freshman by beating up a senior, ah what memories.

Marik hadof course tried numerous times to blow up the school, he had almost accomplished it once in chemistry until some ratty nosed pipsqueak of a hall monitor brought his suspicious behavior to the principal's attention. He had been suspended for a month and it had been the best time of his life. No school, teachers and the popular kids. He couldn't stand them, well most of them.

There was one in particular that had caught his eye and he loved to torment her. She of course would pretend to ingore him but he had decided to make her life a living hell this year. Oh yes, this would be fun.

With much force, he dragged himself out to bed and began to get ready for his first day as a senior at Domino High. He could already imagine what it would be like when he got there.

He put on his school uniform and collected his things from the dirty floor. The apartment he lived in was already falling apart and he had only lived there for two years, ever since his sister died. Now that was a touchy subject, anyone who mentioned her let alone spoke ill of her got one hell of a beating.

He grabbed himself a piece of toast and headed out the door towards the garage where his precious motorcycle was. He had worked day and night to make enough money for it and working at a repair shop had it's perks.

At the other side of town, a very sleepy brunette awoke to a shrilling sound coming from her alarm clock. She began to get ready very quickly for school, not wanting to stay in her hellhole of a house any longer than she had to.

It was known at Domino High that the ever-so popular Tea Gardner lived with her rich stepfather, in her big mansion and got absolutely everything that she wanted, except for what she really wanted which was to get as far away from her stepfather as she could.

The guy was beyond repulsive. Maximillion Pegasus was the owner of Industrial Illusions, the second largest technology company in the world; only second to Kaiba Corp., which she knew, for a fact that he wanted to buy if not destroy.

His greediness was only surpassed by his obsession with her. The moment her mother had married him, had set his eye on her and now that her mother had passed away, he was free to harass her until she became of legal age, which though only a few months away was not quick enough for her.

Her stepfather had gone berserk once when she had been seen with Seto Kaiba at a gala. He had prohibited her to see him claiming Kaiba using her as a spy. Then he had gone so far as to not let her go out with ehr friends claiming that she needed to worry about school work and such.

The only reason that she hadn't gone insane yet was the relief of going to school. She came to believe that she was the only teenager glad to go there. Well semi-glad since for the past two years she had been constantly harassed by one of her fellow classmates. She had tried to deny it but she liked the fact that he paid attention to her, maybe she was going insane.

The only guy she had ever liked had long since moved away and he had just been a small crush. Ryou Bakura had been a very quiet and reserved guy which had been what had drawn her to him but sadly he hadn't been interested in her, not that she ever had the courage to tell him.

She made her way quietly out her room. Dressed and packed, she passed by the hallway where the keys to her car were. Grabbing them carefully as to not amke any sound, shemade a dash for the door, today... as a senior... she would begin her freedom…

Misery: So like it? Tell me, I am dying to know if it was good, remember it is AU and is basically going to be as I make it, fanfiction for a reason people (shakes head sadly). One thing, a couple of characters will be OOC but they almost always are in my stories, so no complaining since you have been warned. I've warned you a few times...If you have trouble follwing it and why the characters are the way they are, I greatly suggest that you read "Crimson" and also leave a review...
