Disclaimer: I do not Own Yu Gi Oh

!PLEASE READ! A big thankyou for all your kind reviews. That had to be one of the most popular chapters of the story so far. Well the lemon at least. I had loads of people ask me for it! Over 30 emails from people I have never heard of before.

But that in itself make me wonder about something. Im trying to not be bothered about it, but if you people have been following the story for so long and like it so much, then why wont you review my story each chapter? It wouldn't take you a more then a minute to review.

I don't mind if it's something as short as 'update soon' as long as I know you are reading it. I'd like to know there are more people out there other then the loyal reviewers I have already who have never failed yet to leave feedback. You don't even have to leave a signed signature if you don't want to.

I enjoy writing this story very much and I like entertaining you, but im also trying to get as many reviews as I can. It's a sort of a competition with myself. It's not very fair if I write this and people reading it who like it can't be bothered to review. I'm starting to feel as if im doing it for nothing. I've got at least 40 people watching this story too who don't review.

Please just spend a second to leave a review. It won't take long at all! I really mean it when I say it means the world to me. Thankyou

Unrequited Love

Chapter 35: The Morning After

Anuket smiled to herself as she shifted in the creased up bedsheets, memories of the previous night flooding back to her. She and Marik had finally slept together, and it had turned out to be the most wonderful night of her entire life. Marik, that man was insatiable! Anuket had lost count of how many times they had made love, but she was certain the figure was in double digits. They didn't get to sleep until the early twilight hours.

She looked to her right to see the man she loved fast asleep, face down in the pillows. Had she not seen his upper body expand as he breathed, Anuket would have thought he was dead, even though he should have been after last night. She never imagined that one person could have so much energy pent up inside them like that. She turned on her side and raised a hand to run her fingers through Marik's beautiful sandy hair. He moaned softly in his sleep at her feather light touch, waking with a contented sigh, turning his head slowly to face his girlfriend.

Marik smiled widely at her, his violet eyes travelled to observe her curvy figure as she lay on her side in a manner that one would view as seduction; but that she herself was probably unaware of.

"She's beautiful but still so naïve, even after last night. And she's all mine" he thought possessively. There was no way he'd ever let her go.

Marik turned around so he was laying on his back. He put his hands behind his head, a grin playing on his lips.

"How are you feeling this afternoon sweetheart?" he asked.

Anuket furrowed her eyebrows in confusion as she looked up at the clock on the wall. Her eyes widening when she saw it was indeed the afternoon. She was supposed to be home ages ago! What would Ipet say when she found out that she hadn't been home all night?

"Oh Ra! How could I have slept in so late! Ipet will kill me!" she exclaimed as she grabbed the bedsheets, covering herself with them.

Anuket made to get out of the bed, but the moment she sat up, she felt a pain between her legs. She gritted her teeth and hissed, leaning back using her arms to take her weight. Marik wasted no time in rushing over to her.

"Anuket! Are you alright? What's wrong?" he asked in concern.

"Its okay" she replied with an embarrassed smile, turning pink. "Im just sore, that's all"

"Ohh…." Said Marik, understanding what she meant. He grinned at her. "So I guess that means we can't fool around some more then?"

He received a playful smack from Anuket. She tried to get up once more, but Marik held her still. He didn't want her to leave just yet.

"Marik, I have to go. Ipet will be worried!" she tried explaining before she was cut off by Marik's lips crushing hers.

He pulled away after a few seconds. "She's not stupid. Im sure she'll realise that you're here with me. If you must, then call her to let her know where you are, but you're not leaving me just yet"

Marik reached over to the bedside table and picked up the phone handing it to Anuket. He got up off the bed and grabbed a pair of pant and pulled them on, covering up his nudity. He walked out of the bedroom to leave Anuket to her phone call, closing the door behind him.

Marik headed towards the kitchen to get some lunch. He couldn't exactly call it breakfast now considering the time of day. He was just about to get some stuff out of the fridge when he heard a knock at the door. Putting his food hunt on hold, he went to answer. He opened the door and poked his head around to see Odion standing there. He let his brother in and continued his way back to the kitchen.

"Hi Odion. What can I do for you?"

"I picked up the car" said Odion. "Thanks for leaving it there Marik"

"Hey im sorry, I couldn't drive it. I'd been drinking" said Marik defensively, putting his hands up.

"Well why didn't you think of that when you borrowed it? You could have ordered a taxi to take you there"

"I didn't want to take Anuket out on our first date in a taxi! Those things are filthy; it would have ruined her dress"

"And what about the rain?" asked Odion, his eyebrow raised.

"What?"

Odion titled his head over to the radiator where a slinky black dress was draped over it drying, along with a few other delicate feminine garments.

"I hope those aren't yours" joked the older man, watching Marik's face break into a grin. "Did something happen between you two?"

"Oh yes…" Marik replied, taking a seat on one of the kitchen stools. "I'm not one to kiss and tell, but that was the best sex I've ever had"

Odion simply nodded along at seeing the happy look on his former master's face. Marik had openly confided in him about a personal subject, this was a new development. This girl Anuket was probably the best thing that had ever happened to Marik. He couldn't believe how much things had changed over the years.

Marik and Anuket had begun life hating each other, but somehow that had changed. She seemed to be able to bring out Marik's gentle side more then his own family ever could. He listened as Marik continued to tell him how wonderful his girlfriend was, bringing a thought into the older mans head.

"Marik" he whispered in a low voice. "You two seem to be getting along very well"

"We are. I can't imagine my life without Anuket. Just the thought of being with her makes me feel complete" replied Marik dreamily.

"Well why don't you do something about it? Something more permanent…" said Odion looking Marik in the eye.

Marik looked back at his brother, taking a second to register exactly what it was he was saying. Was he suggesting that….?

"Do something about what?" asked a soft feminine voice from the direction of Marik's bedroom.

Both males spun their heads to look at her. Anuket stood there with an invisible glow about her. Marik was relieved to see that she was dressed. Not that Odion would do anything about it, but he didn't want to share her with anyone. She was for his eyes only. Anuket was dressed in the same black shirt and shorts she wore last night, so she was decent. However, she still looked enticing to Marik. All he could see when she wore his clothes like that, was her teasing little performance whilst undressing for him the night before.

"Oh, it's nothing to worry about Miss Anuket" said Odion, trying to cover up their conversation. "I think I'd better go now and leave you two alone. I'll see you later Marik, goodbye"

Marik's thoughts took over once Odion had closed the door behind him. To be honest, his brothers little suggestion had cleared up many things in his head. Like did he really want to be with Anuket in a more permanent and legally binding way?

"How could you even ask such a stupid question?" shouted the voice in his head. "Of course you do! Why did you abandon the idea in the first place?"

"Marik? Are you alright? You seem a little distracted" said Anuket in concern after a few minutes silence.

Marik shook his head clear and smiled to reassure her. He took Anuket's hand and pulled her into his lap, being careful not to be too rough with her, what with her feeling sore still. He hugged her as she sat in his lap, resting his ear against her chest, listening to her steady heartbeat.

Anuket wrapped her arms around Marik's shoulders and held him there gently, kissing the top of his head and stroking him lightly. She enjoyed sitting with him like this. It was moments like these that made her realise how lucky she was to have him. Things could have been so very different for them.

"So what are we going to do today Marik?" asked Anuket, standing up and pulling away from him. She was starving and had a feeling he was too so she made a start on lunch.

Marik shrugged. "I promised Ishizu I would help her at the museum. We have some new items for the Egyptian exhibit that she wants me to set up for tomorrow. You want to come?"

"Alright. I wasn't planning on doing anything else today anyway, but I have to go home and change first" she replied.

"Okay, I'll take you home after we eat"

Even though Anuket had explained on the phone what had happened last night to Ipet, conveniently leaving out certain details, she was still angry with her. Anuket had to endure a lecture for ten minutes, Marik standing behind her, feeling a little guilty for not having called Ipet right away to let her know where she was. After it was over, Anuket ran upstairs to change into something more suitable. She settled on a pair of dark blue baggy hipster jeans and a white t-shirt that showed off her belly button ring. She was very much aware of how much Marik loved her piercing now, and decided to flaunt it a little specially for him.

They walked hand in hand to the museum taking their sweet time, arriving just as Ishizu came walking out of the large doors at the entrance. She spotted them approaching and raised a hand, gesturing for them to come over. After giving him her instructions, Ishizu pushed him inside towards the area that needed preparing for the next day.

Anuket followed behind Marik as they made their way towards the empty exhibit. Together, they arranged the artefacts in their places, all the while talking and laughing. Time seemed to fly by, because no sooner had they begun, everything in the exhibit was in place and looking great.

"Thanks Anu" said Marik. "Now we have time to do whatever we want"

"Great! I want to go shopping for clothes" replied Anuket excitedly.

"Oh, Umm, okay. We can do that. Not quite what I had in mind though…" agreed Marik, frowning slightly at thought of spending endless hours in a shopping center.

"It's not just for my benefit" soothed Anuket as if sensing what was on his mind. "I can pick up a few things for you…"

Marik perked up a bit, grabbing her hand and pulling her out of the museum. "Let's go then!"

A few hours later and Anuket had bought a couple of slinky garments, hand picked by Marik to wear the next time they were intimate. He seemed very pleased with the items and couldn't wait. It was getting to be quite late and Marik was feeling thirsty. They passed by a bar and Marik thought it wouldn't hurt if they went in for a drink. He took a hold of Anuket's hand and led her inside.

They stood at the bar for five minutes, waiting to be served. Anuket ordered a Malibu and coke, because she wasn't a huge fan of alcohol and there was only a small amount in there. Marik had a bottle of Stella Artois to see if it was really as good as it was made out to be in the adverts on TV. It was ok.

"Marik, can I ask you something?" queried Anuket.

Marik took a swig from the bottle and nodded. "Sure, what's on your mind?"

"Well, even though I haven't been going to school all that long, there's gonna be a dance at school just before we break up for the holidays. I was wondering if you wanted to go with me..."

"A dance?" asked Marik feeling a little awkward.

He'd never been to a dance before. Hell, he'd never even danced before, not properly anyway. Swaying slightly whilst hugging someone doesn't really count. Anuket noticed the change in his attitude. He didn't look all that enthusiastic about it.

"You don't have to if you don't want to Marik" she said softly, feeling upset that he didn't want to go with her.

"No, that's okay. I'll go; just don't expect me to dance to the fast songs alright?" he said quickly, seeing her disappointment.

"Why? What's wrong with the fast songs?" she asked.

"I can't dance to them that's why. I'll look like a fool in front of everyone. I still have my pride you know"

Anuket smiled. "That's okay. We can just dance to the slow songs and hang out by the food table. Does that sound good to you?"

Marik put on a fake look of thoughtfulness before nodding to her. "That's sounds alright. When is this dance anyway?"

"It's in a month. It starts at 7 o'clock on the last day of school and finishes at 12 midnight" replied Anuket. "Everyone's going! It's going to be fun!"

They finished their drinks and decided to go home as it was getting late. Marik carried Anuket's bags and walked her to her house. He helped her take her bags inside, hiding the sexy underwear in his pocket from Ipet when she began looking through to see what they had got.

Just before Marik went to leave, Anuket followed him through the back door to kiss him goodnight. They kissed passionately and were completely lost in their own world. Marik opened one of his eyes for a second to see a snooty old lady looking at them through her window, tutting at their open display of affection. Anuket had to laugh when Marik shouted at her to mind her own business in a less the gentlemanly way. she glared at him and left the window, closing the curtains.

"She needs to get out more" said Marik shaking his head and giving Anuket one last kiss before heading back to his apartment.

Anuket waved goodbye and waited until he was out of sight before heading back inside. She went straight up to her room and dressed for bed, thinking about last night. She felt kind of lonely now without Marik by her side. She wanted to feel his warm body next to hers and his breath on her neck. She just wanted to be with him.

Anuket climbed into bed, trying her hardest to get to sleep. It was very difficult thought when all she could think about was last night! She kept replaying everything over and over in her head. Every kiss and sensation she experienced. Smiling to herself, Anuket eventually drifted off to sleep. Her dreams focused on one person.

Yikes that chapter was awkward to write. I'm no good at writing fillers. Oh well, the next chapter will be the beginning of the next part of the story line. None of you will see it coming, well unless I told you already. Btw, it's not the obvious thing after the sex part. It's something else.

Please bear with me. This part will be difficult for m to write and update will be a bit screwy. Ill do my best to make it interesting. Sorry if this was crap. It wasn't my best chapter.

Please review! Thankyou.
