He nodded. "Don't mention it. See you around Hotaru." he said and drove off when the light turned green. Hotaru watched him till he was out of site then went into the hotel and up to her room. She needed to get out of her wet clothes and fast. They didn't need her getting sick on their first day there.
88 This Time 88
When Rei had parted with Hotaru she had entered the bookstore and immediately felt cramped. The place was way to crowded with books that there was hardly any walking space. She was surprised the place was still in business. Doing her best she looked around. A lot of the books were old looking and most of them were used. She picked up one and actually found it was in Latin.
"Wow, these books really are old." she said to herself.
"I guess you can say I'm a bit of a pack rat." came a soft voice. She turned and saw a old man walk out of the back room. He wore glasses that made his eyes look really big and walked slowly. Obviously he was used to avoiding all the book piles on the floor. "It's not often I get a customer, especially one as young as yourself."
"Oh well, I like ancient literature so I thought I would drop in to see what you have."
He smiled and nodded. "Well we have plenty here as you can see. If you need any help all you have to do is ask."
"Ok thanks." she said and the man went back into the back room. She set the book in her hand down and looked around again. One book really caught her eye. It was a book about gods and demons. However it wasn't in Japanese but in ancient Egyptian. It didn't look as old but it seemed to have a lot of facts about them.
Carefully she went over to the counter and rang the little bell. The old man soon appeared again. "Excuse me how much is this book?"
"Oh my, that one. Can you even read it?" he asked.
"Well no, but I might be able to find some way of translating it." she said. He nodded and looked on a clipboard he had.
"Uh lets'...see...here. Ah here it is. $8.(I don't know what that is in yen so just bare with me)." Rei nodded and paid the man.
"Thank you sir."
"Anytime young lady." he said and she left the shop. Looking down at the book cover she found it had no author. Upon looking inside she didn't even find a publishing company or a date of when the book was written.
She frowned. "That's odd. Hm, I bet Ami could help find where it comes from. Maybe she can even translate it for me." she said to herself and tried to put the book into her messenger bag.
However it slipped and fell onto the sidewalk. Rei stopped walking and cursed herself for her stupidity. Before she could bend down to pick it up, someone else did it for her. They handed her the book which she excepted. Looking up she found it was a boy about her age. "Thank you."
"You should be carful with that. That book looks old." he said. He had very light blonde hair and beautiful exotic purple eyes.
She nodded. "Yeah I know, I'm usually not that klutzy. I'm Rei."she said and offered her hand. He seemed hesitant then took it.
"Marik. Do you read Egyptian?" he asked.
"Huh? Oh no, I can't, but I was hoping to find some way of translating it. Now that I think about it, that might actually be harder than I thought."
Why had she thought she could read it? Ami may be smart, but she doubted the girl would learn a language that was not taught in school. Plus is was pretty much like Latin, a dead language. She doubted she would find much on the internet either. Marik looked down at the book then back up at her.
"I could read it for you."
Rei turned back to him in surprise. "You can read Egyptian?" she asked.
He nodded. "Yes, I come from Egypt. My family has guarded it's tombs for generations." he explained. Rei smiled. This must be her lucky day. She found a store in her favorite subject, found a cool book to buy, and now was going to be helped by a hot guy. Wait did she just think that? Great, she was turning into Minako and Makoto.
"That would be great. If you don't mind that is."
He shook his head. "Not at all. I haven't got anything to do for awhile anyways." Rei handed him the book and the two found a bench to sit on. It was decided that Marik would teach her the language that way she could read it herself. He explained all the symbols and even helped her to read the first page. He was surprised at how quickly she caught on.
Soon they started talking about other things. Rei asked him what it was like over in Egypt. He told her it was pretty much still mostly desert. But the cities were big and crowded much like Domino was. She told him she was a priestess in training at a temple in Tokyo. That's when she learned he had a sister who was a priestess.
"Wow really? Is she here?" Marik shook his head.
"No, she stayed in Egypt this time. I'm here for the Duel Monsters tournament. What about you? You said you were a priestess from Tokyo."
Rei nodded. "I am. A friend of mine's brother is also in the tournament, so she dragged me along to keep her company. Plus it was not like I was doing anything. All our other friends were out of town."
"So then your staying at the Shire Hotel?" he asked. She nodded and he smiled. "Me too. Since I guess I still need to teach you a few more things maybe we can meet somewhere tomorrow?"
"Sure. You can also meet my friend Hotaru then." that reminded her and she looked at her watch. She quickly stood up "Oh no, I'm late. I was supposed to be back at the hotel 5 minutes ago."
"Well then I guess I'll see you some other time." Marik said also rising, but not as quick as she had down. She nodded and quickly gave him a hug before rushing off.
"Bye Marik. See you later!" she called before turning the corner. A light blush had appeared on Marik's face when she hugged him. It was so unexpected and sudden that it had taken him awhile to realize what happened. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts he walked down the street to find the first duelist to take on.

Rei arrived at the hotel just as it started to rain. That was weird. It had been sunny when she was talking to Marik. When she got to the room, she found no one was there. Hotaru wasn't back yet and that worried her. What if her violet eyed friend had gotten lost? Titan soon crawled out from under the bed and her two crows flew out of the bathroom.
"Princess Rei you're back. Where is Princess Hotaru?" Phobos asked.
Rei set her bag and book down. "I don't know, she should have been back by now. Titan can you sense if she is in any sort of trouble?"
"I can only tell if she is being attacked which she isn't. Though her energy signal is slowly moving away from here."
Rei groaned. "Then she is lost. I have to go find her."
"Princess Rei wait. It's pouring out there and you don't have an umbrella. Besides Princess Hotaru can take care of herself. She could always ask for directions." Deimos said trying to sooth the raven haired girl. Suddenly the door opened and they all turned to it. Unfortunately it was only Tenshi. (Tenshi-hey! Spirit-shut up!)
"Tenshi have you seen your sister?" Rei asked.
He shook his head. "No, why?"
"Well we don't know where she is and Titan saws she's getting farther away."
"Actually she's starting to get closer now at a fast speed. Perhaps she took a cab back here." Titan explained. Rei let out a sigh.
"That's good. I was beginning to worry."
Tenshi sat on the couch. "You looked worried to me. I think I even see a grey hair." that earned him a remote in the face. He began crying like Usagi till Rei went over and stuffed him mouth with a apple that had been in a fruit basket on a stand next to him. Geez, sometimes he could even be worse than Usagi.
The front door opened again and in came a very wet Hotaru. "Hi guys. Sorry I'm late. I got lost and found someone who gave me a ride back here."
Gasp. "Hotaru! You got in a car with a stranger? Shame, shame!" Tenshi cried. Hotaru rolled her eyes at him.
"It wasn't a car it was a motorcycle, so I doubt he could have kidnaped me on it. I would just be able to jump off or signal people I need help."
Rei smirked at her. "So a guy gave you a ride back? Who was he?"
Hotaru blushed. "Um, I need to take a shower now." she said grabbed some dry clothes and disappeared into the bathroom. Rei's smirk widened. Hotaru obviously had liked the guy but was to embarrassed to admit it.
"So Rei what did you do all day?" Tenshi asked. Now she blushed as a image of Marik played in her mind.
"Um ...nothing...I'm going to order dinner now." she said and began to look in the room service book. Tenshi blinked, shrugged then collapsed on the couch to take a nap.
Spirit-well there it is.
Tenshi-how come everyone always throws thing at me?
Spirit-cause you need things thrown at you every once in awhile. anyways if you want the next chapter you better review. so Please Review! Ja ne
