Author's notes: from now on I am not going to reply to reviews if they are just something like 'update soon' or something like that. I will only reply to those that have views or questions etc.

Keep in mind that these two are all 'lovey dovey' and will act that way because that's what normal teenagers do. Sorry to those of you who aren't comfortable reading this sort of thing. You can skim over it if it really bothers you that much.

No lemon btw. It's a little too soon. I'm debating on whether or not I should write one later on for sending through email. Not to post here though. Don't wanna risk getting in trouble and having this fic removed. I've rated it M because of possible suggestfulness in later chapters. If you read what it says on the rating guide it tells you how much is acceptable and how much isn't. I think this is in the right category, or will be. Personally, it doesn't matter because people will either read it or they won't. (Shrug)

Unrequited Love

Chapter 32: Midnight activities and Housewarming

Marik had been awake for some time now. He lay on his back with his arms crossed behind his head and stared up at the ceiling. He couldn't stop thinking about his beautiful new girlfriend who was so close, but he was unable to touch. At least until the morning came. Marik turned his head to look at the clock on the wall. It was only two in the morning, there was ages to go. He knew that he wasn't going to get to sleep any time soon so he decided to go and get a glass of water.

He pulled the sheets aside and slowly made his way into the kitchen. He looked at all the cupboards and drawers and groaned mentally.

"Where are all the glasses?"

Marik began to open various cupboards and drawers until five minutes later he found them. Typically, they were in the last one. He turned on the tap and filled the glass up. He stood by the kitchen window and stared out as he drank the water. It was pitch black outside and he could hear dogs barking and cats scrapping with each other. Out of sheer boredom and the desire for morning to come, Marik decided to have a look around the place and find something to do.

He walked into the living room and turned the light on. It was one of those lights where you could choose the brightness of it. He turned it up just enough so that he could see without falling over. Marik began scouting the place for something to keep him occupied. Unfortunately for him there was nothing. Nothing in this room at least. There were plenty of books on the shelf aimed at women. He frowned at some of the titles and stared in horror at others. He picked one book up and read the title. After which he promptly put it back down again.

"I don't think I need to know about menstruation" he thought to himself before turning away from the shelf.

In the end, he decided to go through his deck and make changes to it. After all, he couldn't rely on the winged dragon of Ra to defeat his opponents now. He had to come up with a new strategy. He came second in battle city and even though it didn't matter to him that much, he would at least like to be able to live up to that title should he need to. Marik smirked to himself. He had come one place higher then Kaiba and knowing how proud and competitive the ceo was, that would probably haunt him for years to come.

88888888888888888 upstairs

Anuket tossed her walkman back into her desk drawer. She was having the hardest time sleeping. This was the first time in months that she had been able to see Marik in person, but here they were in separate rooms, unable to talk and simply enjoy each others company. Anuket growled in frustration at Ipet's bossy behaviour. She didn't like to be told what to do, but she did so out of respect for the older woman. She cringed at the memory of Ipet's little speech after she had left Marik to sleep a few hours earlier.

Flashback

"Ipet what did you do that for? We weren't doing anything!" defended Anuket in her room after she and Marik had been caught lip wrestling.

"Of course you weren't. And I'm Cleopatra" said Ipet sarcastically.

"We weren't" said Anuket again.

"Look Anu, You're young and naive. That little kiss you two had could easily have turned into something more"

"It wouldn't have and im not naïve thankyou very much!"

"Are you sure? You are still a teenager and your hormones are all over the place right now. Marik is a man and they have little to no control over things like sex. Even if you didn't make the first move, he would have and I don't think you would have stopped him. Do you honestly think that Marik isn't after your body? After all, that is the basis of your relationship"

Anuket blushed. "You have so little faith in him Ipet. Marik would never do anything like that knowing you were here to kill him if he did"

"I wouldn't be too sure about that. Men like him would risk anything to get into your knickers"

"Well nothing is going to happen! Especially with you breathing down our necks every five minutes, and what do you mean men like him?" asked Anuket crossly.

"I'll pretend that you didn't speak to me like that missy" said Ipet in a stern tone.

Anuket pursed her lips fighting back a comeback.

"Look, I just don't want to see you make a mistake. Get to know each other a little better before you rush into anything, that's all im asking of you"

End Flashback

Anuket sat on her bed debating on what she should do for the rest of the night. Sleep was out of the question, especially when she knew who was downstairs. Feeling rebellious, she stood up and made her way to the door, opening it with no sound at all. She walked on her tiptoes carefully and quietly to make sure she didn't wake Ipet. She manoeuvred across the hallway avoiding all the squeaky floorboards and felt like doing a little dance when she had got to the staircase. Anuket silently made her way down to the bottom both amazed and impressed at how quiet she had been.

She tiptoed over to the open door and peered through it. She smiled when she saw Marik wide awake on the couch. His back was facing her. He hadn't seen her yet so she decided to make herself known.

"Cant sleep?" asked Anuket, keeping her voice a little above a whisper.

Marik turned his head around in shock, almost dropping his cards. By the look on his face, he had expected it to be Ipet checking up on him. His surprise turned into relief when he saw it who it was. Anuket walked over to him and sat down next to him.

"What are you doing?" she asked looking at the duel monsters cards in his hand.

"Oh, im just making a few alterations in my deck" replied Marik before a mischievous glint appeared in his eyes. "Why? Can you think of something more fun for us to do?"

"I do, but seeing as Ipet is only upstairs I think we should behave ourselves…. to an extent…" whispered Anuket playfully taking in Marik's rather sexy attire. He was only wearing his boxers, and his muscles looked 'very' nice in this dim light, not that they didn't look nice any other time. They just looked very touchable right now.

Marik placed his deck on the table in front of him and pulled Anuket onto his lap so she was straddling him. Anuket wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him while he kissed her ear. She stroked his mane of sandy blonde hair and smiled as he began kissing her neck. She was certain now that that was his favourite place to kiss her as it was always the first place he went to. Anuket gently placed both her hands on Marik's face, pulling him so that he was facing her.

They looked into each others eyes for a split second before kissing each other ferociously once more. This was the first time they were able to be together like this since before Marik had left for Egypt and they had kissed in the alley at the pier. Marik was putting everything he had into this one kiss. He had missed her very much and wanted to show her that. He never wanted to be separated from her again. This thought made him strengthen his grip on her hips, pulling them even closer together.

Anuket was rapidly losing herself to his rough, domineering kiss. She had never known Marik to be as passionate as this before. Even those times where they had almost slept together paled in comparison. Anuket's train of thoughts began to head in that direction again, making her feel somewhat less cooler than she had been, but then she remembered what Ipet had said to her.

"Look, I just don't want to see you make a mistake. Get to know each other a little better before you rush into anything, that's all im asking of you"

Anuket decided to honour Ipet's wishes, for now. Sighing into the kiss, she reluctantly pulled away from Marik. He was breathless but didn't seem all that disappointed. In fact, he looked rather happy. Anuket smiled at his crooked grin and kissed his nose. She got up off of his lap and pushed him onto the sofa so that he was laying down. Anuket situated herself next to him so that her back was up against his chest in a spoon position. Marik reached down and pulled the covers over them both. He wrapped his arms around her waist so there was no space between them.

"So what will Ipet say if she sees us like this?" asked Marik imagining being thrown out onto the street half dressed.

"She's a heavy sleeper" replied Anuket. "She doesn't get up until nine usually; we'll be up long before her. She likes being able to sleep in because she was never able to do that before we came here. She's taking advantage of the situation…much like we are right now…"

Marik grinned into Anuket's hair. "You know, I love it when you're being naughty but it makes me wonder what else you're capable of"

888888888888888888888888888888 in the morning

Anuket stretched on the comfort of the sofa to find herself on her own. She looked behind her to see an empty space where Marik had once been. She put her hand out onto the creased fabric. It was still warm so that meant he hadn't been gone for very long. She looked at the clock on the wall. It was about twenty to nine, Ipet would be up soon. Anuket slowly sat up; her eyes still a little closed. She rubbed them and made her way to the downstairs bathroom to freshen up. It was a good thing too because her hair stuck up in all the wrong places and she had sleep in the corner of her eye.

Once Anuket had made herself reasonably presentable, she returned to find out where Marik had disappeared to. She heard cluttering in the kitchen and smiled. She poked her head around the door to find Marik peering onto the open fridge. He noticed he was being watched and turned to see Anuket coming over to him.

"I wanted to make you breakfast but I don't know where anything is" explained Marik.

"You don't have to do that for me Marik" said Anuket kissing him good morning. "You are the guest so I will make breakfast for you"

Marik took a seat and watched Anuket as she cooked for him. She was still wearing her night dress. It was white with short pink sleeves and came down just above her knees. She had on a pair of socks that didn't match. One was white and the other was red. She looked adorable.

"What are you going to do today?" asked Anuket.

"Huh?" murmured Marik tearing his gaze away from Anuket's legs. "Oh, well I suppose I should make a start in moving in. Those boxes aren't going to unpack themselves, unfortunately"

"Okay then. I'll help you unpack. The sooner you get settled the sooner we can have fun" said Anuket cheerfully putting an omelette in front of Marik.

"Are you sure? There's a lot of mess" warned Marik.

"It can't be that bad" said Anuket with a slight frown.

"You wait and see" said Marik raising his fork and digging into the food.

88888888888888888888888888888888888 a little later after breakfast

Marik sat patiently on his motorcycle outside Anuket's house, the engine purring quietly. He watched as Anuket came running out towards him. She was wearing an apple green and pale yellow summer dress. She ran up to Marik and jumped on behind him. He revved the engine and they sped off.

"Hey Marik" said Anuket over his shoulder. "Can we take the long route to your apartment?"

Marik looked confused. "Why?"

"Well, do you remember the first time you took me for a ride on this thing?"

Marik nodded. "Yes"

"Well I 'really' want to do that again. Can we? Please?" pleaded Anuket, hugging Marik's waist tighter.

"Alright then sweetheart. Here we go!"

Marik smirked as he sped down the street at top speed. They eventually came to the same stretch of road where they had insulted the other drivers all those months ago. Since being kidnapped, he had never seen her so happy. Anuket was still adjusting to life out here but she was doing it extremely well. Marik was certain that she wanted to do all this to make the most of her newfound freedom as he once had.

Suddenly Marik remembered the present he wanted to give to her. How could he have forgotten? It took quite some effort on his part to get this piece of paper. He had been waiting for ages to give it to her. He must have forgotten about the moment he set eyes on her again.

"I will wait until tonight to give it to her" thought Marik. "She also seems to have forgotten about it for now"

88888888888888888888888888888888888 Marik's place

"Oh Ra! Marik! How many boxes! What's all this!" cried Anuket as she tried to walk amongst the clutter.

"Hey! I warned you there was a lot of mess" said Marik defensively.

Anuket slapped her forehead. "This is going to take forever"

"Well then we'd better get started, that is if you still want to help" said Marik brushing past her and opening his suitcase. Anuket groaned in response.

888888888888888888888888888888888888 later at Marik's place (about 5:00pm roughly)

It was getting on towards the evening now. The mess was all clear and except for a few bags of rubbish to take out. Despite the initial shock of the chaos that was 'Marik's home' they had a good time together. They talked, joked and occasionally had breaks where they had ended up in less then innocent positions.

All of Marik's furniture was assembled and set in their desired places and his clothes were all put away. His personal belongings were set out. All in all, the place looked good.

"Finally! All done" said a breathless Anuket with a satisfied grin. Spending all day furnishing and cleaning an apartment was tiring work. She slumped onto one of the black leather chairs, Marik following suit.

"Thanks" said Marik gratefully taking Anuket's hand in his own. "It would have taken me forever to do this by myself"

"You're welcome" replied Anuket. "But you owe me big for this Marik Ishtar"

"And I think I know how…" said Marik kissing her on the lips.

He ended the kiss after a short time as he remembered something important. Anuket protested a little as he drew away from her.

"I forgot to give you your present yesterday" said Marik reaching into his pocket.

Anuket's face lit up. She had completely forgotten about that. She sat up straight with a big smile, watching Marik intently as she waited for him to pull out the surprise. Anuket was intrigued when she saw a piece of neatly folded paper in Marik's hand. He held it out to her with a gentle smile.

"It took a lot of time and effort to get this for you, but you are worth it"

"What is it?" she asked.

"Take a look for yourself" replied Marik holding it out to her.

Anuket accepted the paper from him and carefully unfolded it, smoothing out the creases. She frowned in confusion when she realised it was a letter addressed to her. She glanced up at Marik who nodded his head and urged her to continue. Anuket dropped her gaze to the paper again and slowly began to read its contents. After reading the first paragraph she had to stop to take in this information. She knew who wrote it now and couldn't believe what Marik had done. She read the rest of the letter with her hand covering her mouth, tears forming in her eyes. Marik watched on silently from his seat across from her.

As Anuket finished reading the letter, the tears she had tried so hard to hold back were now streaming down her cheeks. She turned to Marik and leaned over to his open arms, crying into his chest. Marik wrapped his arms around her in comfort, stroking her hair. If anyone had walked in on them right now, they would have assumed she was upset. But Anuket was feeling the complete opposite. This was the most thoughtful thing Marik, or anyone had ever done for her. She couldn't remember ever being so happy.

She had no doubts whatsoever that he was the one she was meant to be with and she now held proof that she was not the only one who thought so. There was someone else who had given them their blessing. Someone who Anuket never thought she would see or hear from ever again. She smiled into Marik's chest before whispering…

"Daddy loves me"

88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Aint that cute? Anuket's dad who was always sexist and never believed her about Marik being nasty and never showed any fatherly emotion towards her says he loves her! yayness! She's all happy now. Betcha didn't see that coming. You all thought it was an engagement ring or the marriage contract.

Sorry to those who think it was sappy. It all has a purpose though. You know, I have to stop Anuket from crying all the time. It's just that it fits in and that's how the story goes. I never realised it until now. Oh well, there may be a few more tears but I guess that's ok. We all have to cry don't we? Otherwise we'd explode. The same goes for farting. Did you know that on average you must fart at least 17 times a day? Well that includes when you sleep too. There's another piece of useless info for you. Enjoy!

Reviews (as said before. I'm only gonna reply to reviews that have questions and views etc)

Angela: the answer to your question is yes. They will, eventually. And there will be another surprise too. Wont tell you outright but you may be able to guess.

Ryu-No-Kyoki: yeah, it is too bad, but at least they got to spend the night together in the end. Don't worry, there will be plenty more stuff like that. I know people enjoy reading that sort of thing. I know I do.

DaRkNeSsApPrOaChEs: so how do you know exactly how long your fic is? Have you got a basic draft of what happen in each chapter somewhere? Also Have you ever tried putting a bed together yourself? It can be pretty nasty business, especially when you haven't got all the parts to it. (painful memories) Ipet would have loved to hit him, but Anuket is her superior (that's sounds bad. Poor servant Ipet) but she is the one in charge. Anuket wouldn't appreciate it very much. Either way. Thanks for the review. I hope I've put the lemon thing to rest. I wont post it here. Don't wanna risk having the fic deleted. Ill warn you if any of the chapters get a bit too naughty for your liking. I won't have you feeling bad in front of the Mary statue.

BakurasKitty: I put more of Marik's muscles and boxers in here especially for you. Enjoy.

Scarlet Saint: don't slap your friend. They will most likely share a bed in a few chapters or so. I like pervertedness. I'm a nasty girl. (grins)

Daydreamer: you think Anuket's more real? Thanks very muchly. That means a lot to me. I really like Anuket now. When I first began writing I wasn't sure about her. I guess my drawings helped a little. I can visualise her better now.

soccerchic91588: not a problem. Hope your day stayed good. I'm glad it made you laugh. I'm kind of aiming to make it serious but not too much if you know what I mean. I like a little bit of humour. It makes it more interesting I think.

Kyte: yup, I decided to keep Joey liking her. Once again, there is a reason for it. I won't tell you but it's a good one. You know what? I almost used the Marik sleepwalking idea but changed it so it was Anu instead. Sorry about the late update.

LoneGothic: I think Marik could be forgiven for that fib. After all, its sweet really. I wish I had a boyfriend who did stuff like that for me. Sharing a room? Maybe in the near future… (Grins)

LoveLiesBleeding2: yeah, Ipet is more of a motherly figure. After all she did raise Anu. Well, for half her life anyway. Didja like this fluff? What about her father at the end? Didja see that coming?
