Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Gi Oh

As of today, I have decided to put up pictures of my oc (Anuket) on my Info page. If you want to see her then click on my name at the top of the page, I can only put one picture up at a time but it will change every now and then. If you draw a picture of Anuket or Marik or maybe even both together and you want to show it to other people then scan it and email it to me. I will be more then happy to put it up for a while.

A Big thanks to everyone who has reviewed throughout this fic. I'm well chuffed because I now have over 100 reviews! All positive, except one right at the start (which I deleted by the way) I was tempted to quit writing this fic, but continued anyway thanks to much encouragement from loveliesbleeding2 and additional support from reviewers who always give nice long reviews to read.

Thanks to everyone again (tosses plushies of all the cute male Yu Gi Oh characters to fan girls)

Unrequited Love

Chapter 12:

Several hours had passed since Marik's visit and Anuket was growing 'very' bored. There was absolutely nothing to do in this place. Marik had obviously gone to a lot of trouble to make her feel comfortable it seemed, but he forgot to provide ways for the girl to entertain herself.

Anuket had been spending the last few hours trying to remember the healing spells she had copied down from books in her father's library. So far, she had managed to heal the grazes on her arms and legs. That wasn't too much of a problem because they were the most common injuries she had whilst growing up. Healing a twisted ankle however was proving to be very difficult as she couldn't remember the correct spell.

"Dammit! If I'd known this was going to happen, I would have spent less time watching TV and more time learning those spells" she thought, mentally kicking herself for getting so far behind in her studies.

Anuket's ankle wasn't hurting her as much as it had been, which she had to admit was a welcome change. Her patience was growing very thin by this time. Anuket lay back into the soft pillows and looked up at the ceiling. She closed her eyes and began to think about home, wondering if Ipet was alright. She must have realised something was wrong, the woman wasn't stupid. Anuket found herself wishing she had told her guardian about the gifts now. It might not have changed anything but they may have been better prepared.

As Anuket mused about this, another thought pushed its way into her head.

"Marik must have been to my house! This dress was in my wardrobe along with everything else. If he's hurt Ipet in any way, he'll wish he was never born!"

She sat up straight as the door opened. A rarehunter walked in carrying a tray of food. The man was very tall and upon closer inspection she found that he too was Egyptian. His eyes were amber and he had a tattoo on the side of his face.

Odeon watched the girl carefully as he set the tray down on the bedside table. His eyes seemed to hold a glint of kindness; somehow Anuket couldn't help but feel she could trust this man.

"Master Marik is out at the moment, but he will be back very soon to see you" he bowed in respect to the girl before turning to leave.

Anuket said nothing. She really didn't care what Marik was doing right now and hoped that whatever it was, a freak accident would occur, placing him in the line of fire. As Odeon closed the door behind him he took one last glance at the girl. It was no surprise that this female had captured his Masters interest, she was very attractive. Odeon couldn't help but worry for her though, she shouldn't be here.

"Well, he wasn't very talkative" Anuket said quietly to herself as she took the tray from the bedside table. Even in her predicament, she wasn't about to let herself go hungry.

She had expected more then that from the rarehunter though, considering she had been on her own for so long. Anuket couldn't put up with this; she didn't want Marik's company although she had a feeling she was going to get a lot of it in the near future. However, the next time he was here she would probably ask him for something to do to pass the time.

------------------------------later

"Master Marik" Odeon called.

"What is it?" Marik growled irritably.

He wanted to get back to his queen; just being in the same room as her would calm his anger at being beaten by the pharaoh once again. This wasn't a good day, not only had he lost the duel but he had also lost one of his Egyptian god cards. Marik wasn't in the mood for anything else to go wrong today.

"This had better be good Odeon. I have things to do and I don't want any more delays"

"I was just wondering what you were going to do with the girl" the taller man said. "She doesn't have anything to do with the pharaoh Master; she is innocent in all this"

Marik smirked. How typical of Odeon to worry about the girls welfare. He doubted that his brother even knew who she was.

"Do you not recognise her Odeon? Well, im not surprised. She has changed dramatically over the years…"

He couldn't help his grin from spreading further as Odeon looked back at him with a very puzzled look.

"I'll put you out of your misery. Nine years ago Odeon, do you remember the Benu family…?" Marik trailed off.

Odeon was sure to catch on from such an obvious clue. Amber eyes widened as realisation hit him. Odeon couldn't believe it. That girl was the very same little Anuket Benu that visited them nine years ago? Well this was a surprising turn of events. Odeon knew that Marik wasn't thrilled about the idea of marriage as he had more then once commented on the subject. What had changed since then? As if he really needed to ask. This young woman was the most beautiful and innocent looking creature he had ever seen. He was certain that was his Masters main reason for kidnapping her. What Odeon couldn't understand was why Marik went to all the trouble of making her comfortable, unless…

"This girl must be very special" Odeon thought smiling slightly. "She may be able to help bring Marik's kinder side to the surface, something I haven't seen in years…"

Marik turned his back to Odeon "I am going to see Anuket now. Make sure that we are not disturbed, is that clear?"

Odeon bowed smiling as he watched his brother walking away down the corridor.

"Yes Master Marik"

----------------------------------

"Oh Great, I wonder who that could be…" Anuket growled sarcastically under her breath as she heard a knock at the door.

She sat up as it was opened to reveal her fiancé Marik, that particular word made her shudder. He was smiling in a way that made her feel very nervous; violet eyes were examining her carefully as if he had never actually seen her before.

"What are you looking at? Don't you know it's rude to stare!" she spat viciously at him.

This made Marik snap back into reality; he shook his head lightly and moved towards Anuket to sit down on the bed. He wanted to sit closer to her, but she was obviously not ready to accept him yet. Perhaps a few more compliments were in order.

"Did I happen to tell you before how gorgeous you look in that dress?" he asked, flashing her a charming smile.

"Yes you did" she replied in a nonchalant kind of way.

Anuket couldn't help but feel a little flattered at this compliment, even if it was coming from Marik. She knew he was only doing this so she would eventually forgive him. What worried her the most, was that she might do just that. Anuket reminded herself how he treated her when they were children. She regained control of her emotions and put on a blank face. He wasn't going to win that easily!

"How's your ankle?" Marik asked.

"Better then it was but it still hurts, thanks to you…"

"What about your arms and legs?" Marik continued as he took hold of her arms and pulled the sleeves up.

To his surprise, the cuts and grazes were gone. He stared at the girl, expecting an answer. How could they have just vanished?

"Oh come now Ishtar, surely you haven't forgotten that I come from the Heka clan? We are specialists in this area" she smirked at him. "He looks so adorable when he's confused. Wait! Don't be stupid! He's a pathetic jerk!"

"Ah yes, of course. How forgetful of me" he started. "So answer me this my dear. If you can heal yourself, then why not take care of your ankle at the same time?"

Anuket felt herself going red with embarrassment and looked away from him. She didn't want to tell him it was because she couldn't remember the stupid spell. Marik would probably laugh at her. That was the last thing Anuket needed, to have her confidence squashed out of her again. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. The girl looked over at Marik who had a genuine smile, not a smirk, on his features.

"Don't worry about it, people forget. There are a few things from my clan that I couldn't tell you without looking them up first" he looked into her eyes again.

Anuket turned away quickly. He was doing it again! Trying to make out he was her friend, that he understood her! She had to get out of here, if she didn't escape soon; she knew she would end up forgiving him. The girl had her pride and giving in to Marik was something she would never do willingly, she hoped

Marik had a feeling his sweetheart was beginning to weaken slightly to his advances. He shifted closer to her so their bodies were touching. He put an arm around her waist and hoisted her into his lap. She was very light; it was almost as if he was holding air. Anuket's face was bright red against her tanned skin; she couldn't believe that Marik would do this. She tried to move herself away from his embrace but it only made Marik hold her even tighter. His scent was once again taking hold of her senses. As much as she despised him, he really did smell nice. Marik began to nuzzle her neck making her gasp in surprise. She didn't know what to do. It seemed that she was affecting him in the same way he was affecting her. Suddenly, Anuket had an idea as to how she could use this to her advantage.

Marik began to grow more and more confident as she wasn't doing anything to stop him. He started to kiss her neck, lightly nipping every now and then. Anuket took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves for what she was about to do. As Marik continued to kiss her, Anuket slowly ran her hands down his back. Marik was surprised but quickly got over it thinking he had won. Her hands slid lower down his back and under his shirt. She traced the scars there. Anuket knew about the tombkeepers initiation and felt sorry that he had to go through that, but that thought quickly exited her mind as she felt Marik's hand over her thigh. She tried her hardest not to tense up or move away from him and hugged him tighter to make him think she was enjoying this.

"Alright, I think I've convinced him" Anuket thought nervously. "Now to put my acting skills into practice"

Anuket pulled back from Marik which was quite difficult as he didn't want this to end. When she had finally prised him off her neck he looked like Christmas had been cancelled.

"Am I forgiven then?" he asked hopefully.

"I suppose so" Anuket replied, smiling at him shyly. "Ok this isn't so difficult"

Marik was very relieved when she said this. He knew she would come around eventually.

"Marik, if I'm going to be here for a while, do you think I could have some of my personal belongings from home?" She asked sweetly, placing her hand on his chest lightly.

He wasn't too sure about this, he frowned slightly.

"Perhaps I should just say yes to her. After all, I wouldn't want to lose her affections so soon after gaining them…"

Anuket was beginning to worry. If he said no, then all her chances of escaping would be thrown out the window. She needed her notebook with all her spells written inside. She could heal her ankle and use some others to get past the rarehunters. She needed to persuade Marik to agree with this. Anuket squeezed him a little tighter, soft enough so it was subtle but also that he could feel it. She traced his chest with her finger and tugged occasionally at his shirt. Marik looked down at the girl, and she looked up at him with big innocent emerald eyes.

"There was a necklace that belonged to my mother, and an old diary. She gave them to me before she died. They are very precious to me…" she acted, looking down as if she was about to cry.

Marik panicked. He didn't want to upset her, there was only one thing he could do. What harm could it do anyway? She would only be getting her personal belongings.

"Very well" he said softly, placing a finger under her chin and tilting her gaze back up at him.

"Yes! I can't believe how easy men are to manipulate. This is actually quite fun. I have power over him and he doesn't even realise it! I love being a woman!"

Feeling more confident, Anuket decided to close the deal by giving Marik a soft kiss on the lips. She pulled away before he had a chance to deepen it and smiled up at him, curling a sandy blonde lock around her finger. Marik smiled back down at her. She was teasing him, and he liked it.

"Are you going to send your rarehunters to get my things?" Anuket asked. "If you are, tell them to stay out of my mothers diary and that means you too, its private" she added, tapping him playfully on the nose, even though she meant every word.

"Of course, I will send one over right now. Give me a description of the things you want and I will have them brought to you as soon as possible" Marik smiled warmly.

As Anuket went through the list of things she needed, she couldn't help but laugh mentally about the events this afternoon. Marik was so desperate for her love that he was willing to throw caution to the wind and trust her. She almost felt sorry for him, but he deserved it. She didn't enjoy his kisses at all, well maybe she did a little, but it was necessary for her plan to work. Now she had more important things to worry about, like trying to escape. She only had one chance at this. If he caught her, he would realise she was using him. Marik was a very proud man and wouldn't take too kindly to that.

When Marik had eventually left to make arrangements, Anuket lay back onto the bed. She decided to try and sleep as there was nothing else to do. She hoped that Marik would leave her alone; she didn't want him to come back for round two of lip wrestling.

Anuket began to wonder how much power she had over him exactly. Since there was nothing else to do, she decided to test this for herself.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well. What did you think of this chapter? Sorry for the slight delay, I meant to post it Monday night but I fell asleep. Oops! I figured that you'd like to see a Marik/Anuket scene (even though she was just using him)

I have a lot of reviews to answer to so I'd best get started. Oh by the way! I've got a picture on my info page now, its Anuket wearing the white dress Marik bought her. I've just bought a book that teaches you how to draw Manga so I'll try and draw it again at some point. Pictures will constantly change so keep an eye out ok?

Loveliesbleeding2: Marik is very naughty isn't he? It seems that the Marik/Anuket scenes are always the most popular so I decided to put more in. Yay! I see your chin up. Good show indeed! I've just recently seen Van Helsing! Oh my god it is so cool! Dracula is well fit! Hope you liked this chapter! As you may have noticed I have put a picture of Anuket in my bio page. It will change from time to time so if there is anything you want to draw for people to see then let me know and I'll put it up for a while. Or if you have any good Marik pics (mmmm)

Raksha666: I must say, well done for the recent chapter in your fic. I'm happy that there's a twist to it. What will Bakura say when he finds out? He'll be pretty 'not happy' I think. Anyway, Didja like this chapter? Hope so, I tried to give Anuket some control. I'm just trying to decide whether her escape will be successful or not.

Deprived Huntress Bakura will make an appearance in the next chapter. You know the bit when he meets Marik in the alley? That bit! Anuket may be there too. He'll see her and make his own plans if ya know what I mean (wink wink nudge nudge) glad you like my story. I really appreciate your reviews and comments.

LoneGothic: sorry for the delay in the update of this fic. As you may have read, I meant to update it Monday night but I fell asleep. England is 6 hours ahead of the US and I always update at night. By the way, you weren't being jerky! You just know what you want. It's an admirable quality! Well, here is some of the romance (sort of) it will have to do for now. She has some sort of power over Marik and she intends to use it. I think I'll have fun with the next chapter!

Vladimir Lenin what are you saying exactly? I take it you like this fic? Hope so, anyway. Did you like this chapter? I tried to add some romance into it without making it a romance (just yet anyway)

The Gothic Girl Over Therehow'd ya like this then? I decided to make it a bit steamier then before, otherwise it would just be plain boring. No worries about the last chapter. I know you're still reading this. I will have a nice day! I don't have to go work! Yay! You have a nice day too!

DaRkNeSsApPrOaChEs: there may be time for her to that. First of all, I think I'll make Anuket and Marik spend the day together, to set the foundation of their relationship (without her even knowing of course) I'm debating whether or not she should escape. What do you think? There would be more Marik scenes if it was unsuccessful. Hmmm. By the way, I loved your most recent chapter in oh my ra. Marik seemed to enjoy himself didn't he? lol

Sackachih: 'super awesome'… no one has ever called my fic that before… (Watery eyes) thank you very much. I really appreciate it. I never expected to get so many reviews. Hope you liked this chapter. I enjoyed writing the last bit.

Kuramas Girl Angel I will try my very best to keep up the work. I have an idea for the next chapter, more romance coming (sort of) Anuket is still only teasing him but when will she actually like him? Hmmm a plan is forming. Run fluffy run! (Hamster in exercise wheel in brain goes faster)

DemonicMistress Kree-kun well Anuket's name is pronounced as An-oo-ket and Ipets is Ip-et. Simple really but there's no harm in checking. Glad you like this fic. I'll try to make it more interesting for you. Thanks for taking the time to review.

Vanna Chance you love my oc?! Thank you! I had a picture of a girl I liked seeing Marik in my head with and decided to write about her. If you wanna see what she looks like, go to my bio page and see. The picture will change from time to time so you will see various outfits and stuff. I just picked her name out of my Egyptian mythology book. If you want any then ask and I'll sent you a list of male and female names ok? Looking forward to hearing from you again. Bye for now!
