Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Gi Oh
Author's notes: I must say that I am very pleased with the response I've had from the last few chapters. To think that when I posted the first chapter I only got 3 reviews! One of them a flame. I just want to say to that reviewer 'ha ha! You thought this was crap! Look who's laughing now!'
Also, a HUGE thankyou to everyone who reviewed my Bakura fic. I've got like 15 reviews already! I promise I'll make it a good read for you ok? Keep in mind that it is a side story and may not be updated as often as this story until it's over.
Now then. This is the part of the story that is completely made up where Marik and Anu are all romantic and happy and stuff. Reminder, Anuket still goes to school and Marik is the hot and sexy boyfriend that girls swoon over. This will be so much fun! I've waited 29 chapters for this! This is the part I've been looking forward to! I apologize if any of this seems familiar to you already. I don't want to copy anyone. If it's too familiar and it bothers you, I will rewrite it ok? Or just beg forgiveness… one of the two.

Unrequited Love
Chapter 30: Long Distance Relationship
"Miss Benu! Are you listening!" Shouted Mr Makavoy.
Anuket who had been staring out of the window, snapped back to reality when she heard her teachers raised voice.
"Errr… yes sir" she lied.
"Oh Really? Then tell me what I was saying just now" he folded his arms trying to suppress a smug look. He liked to catch his students off guard.
"Ummm…." She knew he'd got her.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't keep you in detention and I 'might' let you off…" he challenged.
"Because… I won't do it again…?" she said, with a sheepish grin.
"Not good enough I'm afraid. I'll see you after school Miss Benu" he said turning back to the board.
Anuket closed her eyes and slumped onto her desk. Another fun filled evening of detention. How joyous. This was the third time this month! She noticed her friends sending her a sympathetic look before going back to the work given to them. They didn't want to be punished as well. This new teacher was a strict bastard. Anuket growled inwardly. All this because she couldn't stop thinking about 'him'

"Where have you been young lady?" interrogated Ipet as soon as the school girl walked through the door.
Anuket dumped her bag on the kitchen floor and dragged her feet towards the lounge. She slumped on one of the plush chairs and squirmed about for a few seconds making herself comfortable. Ipet walked out of the kitchen to see Anuket sprawled in a most unladylike manner. She raised an eyebrow and coughed disapprovingly making Anuket bring her legs together.
"I had detention again" she grumbled.
Ipet shook her head and put her hands on her hips.
"What happened this time?" she asked with a sigh.
"I was staring out of the window and I stopped listening for just a second! Then the teacher gave me detention after making me look like an idiot in front of the class! It was really unfair!"
"Why were you looking out of the window when you should have been working?" Ipet continued.
"I dunno…work was too hard…" Anuket replied with a shrug.
"Well maybe you should actually study and do your homework and then it wouldn't be. It was your idea to go to school in the first place missy. You can't expect everything to be easy and go your way. Life is full of hardships and the sooner you learn that the better"
"I don't want to go to school anymore. It sucks!" complained Anuket, covering her face with a pillow.
Ipet raised a confused eyebrow. "Sucks?"
"Yeah, apparently that means bad. That's how people around here talk. I didn't have a clue at first until Tea explained it to me" said Anuket. She liked it when she knew something Ipet didn't, no matter how stupid the topic. It was one of the many simple joys in her life.
"Yes well, anyway. Just make sure that you pay attention in the future. We may have enough money so that we wont ever have to do a days work in our lives again, but school is one thing that will make you like everyone else. Remember all those months ago when we first moved here? To begin a new life. That was what you wanted wasn't it? We didn't run away, risking your father's bad temper for nothing you know. Id like to see you make something of your life"
"Alright…" grumbled Anuket. "I'll keep going to school, but Im not going to like it…"
"Good girl" grinned Ipet. "Now why don't you go upstairs and do your homework?"
"Because im hungry" she replied, trying to stall from doing the dreaded homework set to her by the evil demon she called Mr Makavoy.
"Ok then. Once you've eaten, 'then' you can go upstairs and do your homework. Agreed?" said Ipet in a tone that would accept only one answer.
"I suppose so" said Anuket following Ipet towards the kitchen to feed her growling stomach.

Anuket sat on her bed with paper upon paper spread across the mattress and dumped on the floor. She was about to throw it all into the bin and curse her teacher to hell, when her phone began to ring. She grabbed it and pressed the key to answer without checking to see who it was.
"What!" she yelled in exasperation.
"Whoa! Maybe I should call later. You sound a little… preoccupied" said a male voice on the other line.
Anuket's temper vanished and her frown turned into a cheerful grin.
"Marik!" she cried excitedly
"The one and only" he grinned, although she couldn't see it.
"It's about time you called! We haven't spoken in days! Are you coming back soon?" she bounced on her bed in a crossed legged sitting position.
"You ask me that every single time…" he said wearily.
"Is that a no then?" Anuket's excitement disappeared and she stopped bouncing.
"Sorry Anu, I've been really busy tracking down my men. Some of these rarehunters just don't know when its time to quit. I found a few of them trying to regroup but they're not doing so well on their own. It's a wonder I hired them in the first place! They're so unbelievingly incompetent it astounds me!" he chuckled.
"How many more are there left to track down?" asked Anuket crossing her fingers.
"I don't know. I think around a hundred or so. The Rarehunters were a 'big' organisation" replied Marik thoughtfully.
"Oh…" said Anuket disappointedly.
"I'm sorry" apologized Marik hearing the gloomy tone in her voice. "I really just want to be with you, but I have to put a stop to the rarehunters. I founded it, so it's only right that I finish it. I have some good news though!"
"You're going to leave it to someone else to find them?" she guessed half-heartedly.
"Not quite sweetheart" he laughed. "We have a hint that could lead us to their new hideout. If all goes well then I'll be able to come back within a few weeks"
"Oh is that all…" she replied dryly.
Marik noticed Anuket's obvious lack of enthusiasm. Ever since battle city had ended three months ago they had kept in touch with each other as promised. Only in these past few weeks had he noticed a change in her demeanour. Anuket was beginning to find this long distance relationship arrangement hard. Marik was too, but he was able to hide his emotions from her.
"Anu, these next few weeks will fly by, I promise. Just be patient a little while longer. I have something that will cheer you up…" he trailed off.
"What is it?" asked Anuket in curiosity almost forgetting her disappointment.
"A present" Marik simply stated, smirking to himself.
"What present? What is it?" she pressed.
"You're going to have to wait and see sweetheart" he teased. "It'll be something for you to look forward to"
Anuket smiled. "I guess I can wait then"
"Good" said Marik. Silence fell between the couple. Marik was the first to break it.
"So what are you wearing right now?" he grinned.
Anuket's face darkened to an incredible shade of scarlet.
"Clothes" she replied. "What else would I be wearing? You don't expect me to walk around naked do you?"
Marik didn't answer right away "….well…."
"I don't even want you to answer that!" continued Anuket as if reading his mind. "Men!" she rolled her eyes. "You all have such a one tracked mind"
"So come on sweetheart. Tell me, what are you wearing?" asked Marik once more.
"My school uniform if you must know. I can't be bothered to change. In fact I'll probably fall asleep in it"
"I don't know why you complain about it so much" said Marik. "From what you've told me, it sounds cute"
"Yeah. It is cute. So cute, that men, young and old, keep staring at my legs! I swear it must have been a disgusting, perverted old man that designed this outfit. The skirt is so short! If I bend over even just a little bit, I risk loosing my dignity!"
Anuket continued ranting about how unethical the uniform was and it made Marik smile. He pictured Anuket bending over and getting a good view up her skirt. Just like he did at the end of battle city when the chopper blew her skirt right up. He would never forget that moment. In fact, it was the very thing that fuelled his imagination right now. Marik was vaguely aware of his name being called.
"Marik? Are you still there?"
"Yes. Sorry, I was miles away" he said quickly, shaking away filthy images of his girlfriend from his mind.
"Don't say that" Anuket groaned. "You 'are' miles away quite literally. As if I needed reminding…"
"Sorry, I forgot. Oh yeah! By the way. Ishizu has started to make preparations for when we come back. She's going to be the curator at the Egyptian exhibit" Said Marik enthusiastically.
"Really? That's great. And what are you going to do?" asked Anuket.
"I'm not sure. I think I'll help her out until I find something a bit more permanent" he replied thoughtfully.
Anuket jumped a little when her bedroom door opened suddenly. She saw Ipet standing there with a basket of laundry. She gave Anuket a 'hang up and do your homework now' kind of look. She walked in and began to unload the clothes into little piles for Anuket to put away.
"I'm sorry Marik. I have to go now. I have a lot of homework to do" she said reluctantly.
"Oh… then I'll let you get on with it then. I'll talk to you again soon" said Marik. He was sad that their conversation had been cut short.
"Will you call again tomorrow?" she asked
"I'll try" replied Marik.
They said their goodbyes and hung up. Ipet was still there looking at Anuket.
"What?" she asked defensively.
"Nothing" replied Ipet innocently. "I just find it strange how things have turned out. You used to hate Marik, but now here you are seeing each other. I have only met him once and he was incredibly rude. Barging in here like he owned the place…"
"He's not like that anymore Ipet. When he gets back in a few weeks you'll see. He's really sweet now" she couldn't stop herself from smiling. Ipet raised an eyebrow.
"I hope his manners are better then they were last time" the old woman said.
"Don't worry. He'll be on his best behaviour" Anuket promised.
"Good, because if he upsets you like he did nine years ago, I will throw him out with my own two hands, and don't think I won't be able to do it"
"Ipet! Things will be fine!" laughed Anuket.
"For his sake, they'd better be!" she warned.

As Marik hung up the phone his big sister walked in. She carried with her a large suitcase and began packing the things on her brother's bed. He was useless when his mind was on other things.
"I assume that you told Anuket we're coming back?" she asked with a smile.
"You assume wrong sister, I told her we were going to be a few more weeks" he replied grinning widely.
"What?" Ishizu stood up straight. "Why did you say that? All the rarehunters have been caught now!"
"I thought I'd surprise her…" he answered. "I can't wait to see the look on her face"
Marik drifted off into a world of his own. Ishizu smirked at her brother's plan. He was trying to be romantic. It was strange. She had always seen him as her baby brother, but here he was all grown up with a new girlfriend and they were all about to begin a new life together. Ever since battle city had ended, Ishizu had grown even closer to Marik and Odion then she had been before. She never realised how much she had missed them until recently.
Ishizu returned to packing Marik's clothes as she was very particular about this sort of thing. She didn't trust that Marik could do it without creasing every shirt and trouser there. She was in charge of the clothes which was fine with the boys, on the condition that they pack the furniture.
Marik walked out of his room and saw Odion writing labels on various boxes. Odion looked up to see his little brother coming towards him.
"Did Anuket believe you?" he asked in his deep rough voice.
"She did" said Marik triumphantly. He had told Odion about his plan beforehand.
"And her reaction?" he continued.
"She wasn't very happy" said Marik.
"Good" smiled Odion. "That means she will either welcome you with open arms, or kill you for lying to her like that"
"I think I'd rather she welcome me with open arms" said Marik bending down to help Odion with the labelling.
"I think that you'll have one happy little lady on your hands when she sees you" smiled Odion. Then he remembered something. "Do you have her gift?"
"Its safe" replied Marik, patting the little piece of paper in his pocket. "This will mean the world to Anuket. I can't wait to give it to her. How do you think she'll react?"
"Do you really need me to tell you that?" smirked Odion.

I had a brainwave halfway through this chapter! I have the perfect idea for a gift! And it fits in with the rest of my story! It's all falling into place! Im so happy. I bet none of you will be able to guess what it is. Its cool actually.
Was that chapter okay? I'm not 100 sure about it. Marik lied to her! Shock! But what will Anu's reaction be when he shows up? How will he show up? Better yet, how will Ipet welcome Marik? He's not exactly her most favourite person in the world right now. He needs to put on a good face.
Reviews
Kytei love that episode where he takes his shirt off. Sorry I had to split them up, but it all has a reason. Stupid Joey barging in on them, but we love him really.
missmanga90: I think that Marik and Bakura should be the thieves and the yu gi oh gang be the cops. how are you doing with ur fic btw? Have you got any chapters done yet? I can beta read it for you if you like.
Scarlet Saint: im sure that this part isn't like yours. You like it? Very sneaky of Marik eh?
soccerchic91588: I laugh out loud when I read fics all the time. Im lucky that I go on the internet when everyone else has gone bed. They'd think I was really strange. Lol
BakurasKitty: yeah, but I think Joey being rejected is somehow right. I guess it means he'll be all the more happier when he eventually gets it on with Mai. Marik will be back soon, contrary to what he said to Anu.
DaRkNeSsApPrOaChEs: I'm sorry I made you feel uncomfortable. If you felt weird reading it, imagine what it was like to write this. I'm gonna do a lemon later on. Not an overly graphic one, but I won't post it. If people want to read it then I will send it to them through email. You may have to put up with a bit of suggestive (but tasteful) foreplay though. I think that bewd jet Kaiba has is cool! Imagine some kid going 'mummy look! A dragon!' cool!
LoveLiesBleeding2: I had a feeling you'd like that part. I will do a lemon but send it to people through email if they wanna read it. The Marilyn Monroe part came to me in a second. Quite clever for me actually. A bit too clever…
Ryu-No-Kyoki: thanks very much. Always glad to hear from you. I was a little stuck for chit chat between Marik and Anu but I think it was ok. Bet you cant guess what the piece of paper is.
Blah: I'm sure it has been done. I'm gonna try and make it as different as possible and I actually have a cool idea already. I've changed the plot a bit but im quite proud of the idea. None of the characters will die. I hate it when people do that. It makes me sad.
Panmotto: what a silly question. Od course they will see each other again. She'll be pretty surprised no? can you guess what the paper is all about? Bet you cant.
Daydreamer: is my writing so bad that I make you cry? Or is it just the fact that Marik and Anu are going their separate ways? Hope it's the second one. Thanks for the review.
K.B Aleo: thanks. I was going for sweet. Glad it turned out that way.
Yugiohfreak: well the first chapter is up now and I will start the second one soon. Sorry if it's a bit slow starting. This one was too. It will get better as I get into it.
Loves A Bleeding Lie: The disclaimer thing was an accident. I've sorted it out now. How embarrassing. They will see each other very soon now.
Kuramas Girl Angel: my new story is out now. Hope you like it so far even if it is a bit slow. I need to set a basis for my character romi. Next chapter she will be in the palace and will meet a little brat she hates. It will be war!
kirei31: thankyou very much. Im glad that I wont ever have to expect a flame from you. I love yous are a bit cheesy aren't they? I don't plan on having them used all the time. Its just not me. The new story is up now and the next chapter will be soon too. Romi will meet a little brat who she hates and they will
