Danielle/Ketaruema: Thank you!!! I feel loved, people reviewed my last story.

Marik: wow, this is definitely a change. It's amazing what a few fake reviews will do...

Danielle/Ketaruema: you mean that was you yelling at me to stop moping and to torture Bakoura?!

Marik: well umm yeah...

Danielle/Ketaruema: alas, even my characters have turned against me, by the way I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.

The decision and escape

All night she paced thinking to herself as the full moon shone outside, strange things happen during full moons. "Damn this is so sudden" Kekouro thought as she was packing her suitcase, "how am I going to get away with this? I mean I want to go with him but how am I going to get all of this stuff out of the house without raising suspicions, and what happens when my parents discover I'm gone? You'd figure this would be easy, but it's not easy to just leave behind a life and never look back"

"What came over me?" Marik said aloud, "I had promised to myself 2000 years ago to never make another, but there's just something about her." He paused to look up at the moon and said "how long has it been since I've just looked at the stars or the moon? I never appreciate the simple things anymore, not with all of the technology to be mastered." All of the sudden a semi came screeching out of nowhere barely missing a building and heading straight for Marik, with one colossal leap Marik jumped out of the way and cursed back at the driver "you fucking ass hole, you could have killed me! (Not really but oh well)" "alas," he thought, "they're getting worse, at first I thought they wanted me dead (a laughable goal) but now I think they're just stupid" he turned to find another one barreling towards him. "Does this ever end?" he thought wearily. "Hey Jackass get off the fucking road!" the driver screeched just barely missing Marik. "Such foul mouths these mortals have, damn it, it's five am already!" Marik thought as he raced the sun on the horizon to get home.

The sun was just upon the horizon when finally she made up her mind. "I don't believe I stayed up the whole night trying to decide whether to stay or go, but it's decided I'm leaving. But I have a bigger problem, I didn't get any sleep!" Kekouro thought sleepily while she crawled into bed and set her alarm.

The moon had just risen and already Marik stood at the shrine waiting for Kekouro. "She's late" Marik thought nervously. His mind was flipping through all of the possible reasons, always stopping on the worst possible ones. "Sorry I'm late," Kekouro stuttered out, "My parents were suspicious" "I figured that much" Marik said dryly "we have to leave now!" Kekouro heard something faint in the distance, almost like sirens. "I know you have to kill people to live, Marik, but how many did you kill tonight to make them come looking for you?" Kekouro asked skeptically. "Well let's see, there was the prostitute, the drunk, the drug dealer, the collage student, the..."Marik's words trailed off as if he was recalling some distant dream. "All right I get the point, do you usually kill this many people?" Kekouro asked. "Umm, No, I only meant to take the collage student, but the wrest of them got on my nerves..."said Marik. "Let's go before my parents start looking for me, wait, you don't have a car, how are we going to get away?" Kekouro asked. "I don't need a car, I have a motorcycle!" Marik said as he pointed around the coroner to a black shape in the darkness. Again they heard sirens in the distance, but louder this time. "Marik, can you help me with these bags?" Kekouro said sheepishly as she struggled with her suitcases. "Wussy mortal, you are pathetic" said Marik smugly. "Hey at least I'm not apathetic!" Kekouro snapped. They both climbed aboard the motorcycle when Kekouro cried, "let's get a friggen move on!" "Hmm, feisty little mortal, I might get to like you..."Marik said thoughtfully. He move closer and in a flash planted a kiss upon Kekouro's cheek. "What was that for?" Kekouro stammered out blushing furiously. "I just wanted to know what you taste like" Marik said innocently, trying to hide his obvious show of affection. "Now hang on this thing can scoot, I've outran police in this." "Wow that's so reassuring" Kekouro stated flatly "hey, I didn't say go yet!" "Well too late, now hang on" cried Marik over the roar of his Harley as they road off into the twilight.
