88 Last Time 88
As he locked them he looked out at the street. It was deserted, only the wind remained out there. Without even thinking he balled up his hand and punch the glass. It was to strong to fully break but it did crack around his fist. A thin line of blood trickled down the cracks. He felt no pain from his fist, only his heart. Letting out a breathe he pulled his hand back. Ignoring the blood he fell back onto his bed and after awhile was able to fall asleep.
88 This Time 88
Rei smiled as she sat up on the roof of the hotel alone. The wind blew nicely into her hair, pushing it forward. Today seemed so peaceful. It was Saturday. Hopefully they would be able to get a hold of Haruka and Michiru now. With this new enemy they would need some help. It just didn't seem right without the others there with them.
She looked down at the streets below. Seeing as how it was the beginning of the weekend the sidewalks were packed with people. It would be hard for duelists to get around town. Traffic was also everywhere. Yep, this place was no different from Tokyo. Except maybe Tokyo was a little bit bigger. It also had a lot more residential area's than this place.
Something caught her eye and she looked a few feet away from the hotel. There she saw Marik waiting for the light to change so he could cross the street. Marik, the new boy she had befriended, as well as had a crush on. There was just one thing though. She still didn't trust men. How could she after all the disappointments from them in her life. The only guys she relatively cared about were Mamoru and Tenshi. Even then only sometimes for the Grim Reaper.
So what was she going to do? She could go to Minako and ask her, but that blonde couldn't keep her mouth shut about these things. Hotaru didn't really have experience with guys so she was out too. If only Makoto were here. She would feel more comfortable going to her. Usagi was to much of a scatterbrain and Ami was just as bad as Hotaru.
"Darn it, what am I going to do? Marik seems like a nice guy, but so did many others." she sighed as she turned around and leaned up against the fence.
"Why not try spying on him?" came an all to familiar cheery voice. Looking up she saw Minako standing there smiling.
Rei narrowed her eyes at her. "What are you doing up here?" he asked, in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Just checking up on you. Have you seen Hotaru? I thought she might be with you." Rei shook her head.
"No she went out to watch Tenshi Duel. And I'm not spying on Marik. That's just rude, plus if I get caught he'd probably hate me."
"Well that's the only sure way to see if he's really that nice guy, that our just spending a lot of time with him."
Rei sighed and turned to look back at the streets. "Time is what we don't have right now. Marik is busy dueling and we have a new enemy to worry about. What am I thinking, this isn't the time for me to be liking a guy."
"Rei, you've never really liked any guys till now. You finally find one, that You get along with. But instead your starting to push him away."
"I'm not pushing him away."
"From your heart you are." Rei glanced back at her. Minako was right. Due to all her bad experiences in the past, she was just going to keep pushing every guy she meets away. Minako and Makoto had been dumped numerous of times, and still were boy crazy. The blonde walked up beside her and looked up at the sky.
"The world is full of pain Rei. It's those little moments of happiness that make life worth living. You're happy with Marik, I could tell at the dance. Even if you two end up together then break up, you still made some memories worth holding onto."
Rei looked at her. "Minako..." the blonde turned to her smiling.
"Plus I don't want you to end up a bitter old woman with 30 cats." Rei fell over at this. That was just like Minako. She had been on a roll with the advice thing, then came crashing down.
Rei got back up, but held a smile on her face. "You're right, but still I don't know if I can let go of this grudge so easily."
"Well it probably wont be easy. But Marik seems to be making his way through it. Not many guys were able to do that." Minako said smiling. Rei nodded.
"So what do I do now?" Rei asked.
"Wanna go shopping with me?" Minako began to beg so Rei agreed.
It would do her some good to get out. Though shopping with Minako might not be the best way. The two went to grab their wallets then headed out. They roamed the crowded streets, trying their best not to bump into anyone. Several times Minako would drag her raven haired friend into a shop and look around. She even made Rei try on a few things.
At one store Minako threw some dresses at Rei and shoved her into the changing room. Reluctantly the girl tried the first dress on. It was a dark red color, almost crimson. After the waist it began to fade into black. The dress was knee length and had a halter top to it. Glitter covered it as well a few rhinestones. When Rei came out Minako cheered and clapped.
"Wow, Rei it looks simply gorgeous on you!" she called. Rei smiled and looked in the big mirror. Minako was right, it did look good on her.
However just as she was about to go try on the next one a voice stopped her. "Rei?" she froze. Turning around she found a very stunned looking Marik.
"Marik? What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Well my sisters birthday is coming up so I thought I would buy her gift here...Wow that dress looks great on you." he said. This made her blush. She didn't know what to say to this, and even if she did, she wouldn't be able to get it out.
Luckily Minako came to her rescue..kind of. "Oh hi Marik!" she said rounding the corner. " why are you in this girly store?"
"Just doing some birthday shopping for my sister."
"Oh!...doesn't Rei look nice in that? I picked it out for her." she said. Rei glared at the blonde. She didn't want anymore attention. Marik slightly blushed and nodded. A devilous grin formed on the blue eyed girls face then. "Tell yah what. I think Rei is bored of shopping with me. Why don't you have her help you with finding your sister a present?"
"What?" both said.
Minako ignored that and pushed Rei back into the stall. "Go change back into your clothes Rei. I'll pay for the dress while you go on your dat- ah I mean shopping spree with Marik." with that Minako closed the door.
Sighing Rei changed back and went back out. Minako had managed to keep the Egyptian boy there. She smiled and quickly grabbed the dress out of Rei's hand before pushing the two more into the store. After that she said good bye and disappeared from sight. It had all happened so fast neither Marik nor Rei knew what the hell was going on.
"Is she...always like this?" he asked.
Rei sighed. "Yes...so what did you have in mind for your sister?" Marik thought about it.
"Well mostly just jewelry. She can't really wear any of the clothes since she always has to be in her priestess outfits." Rei nodded and they went over to the jewelry section. They couldn't find much so they left the store. They decided it would be best to find a jewelry store, rather than just go in any old one where they barely had anything good. It wasn't long before they came across a stand outside where a woman made her own accessories.
Rei picked up a necklace. On the square pendant it had the Kanji symbol for Peace on it. It also had two small sapphires above and below the symbol. The necklace would be a good gift to someone like a priestess. She then showed it to Marik. "What about this? It's nice."
He examined it. "What does it say though?" he asked.
"It says peace. It seems perfect for your sister, but then again you know her better than I do." Marik smiled and nodded. He paid the lady for it and they went on their way. "Is that all your going to get her?"
"No, but I can always shop around later. Why don't we do something else now?" the raven haired girl smiled.
"Ok. How about we go to an ice-cream parlor. I'm starting to get hungry."
Marik raised a brow. "Shouldn't we eat some real food first?" Rei shook her head.
"What are you, my parent? Come on it's just ice-cream it's not going to kill us to eat it." the lavender eyed teen smiled and nodded. He led her over to one and they went in. After ordering and getting their ice-cream they grabbed a table by the window. They were quiet for awhile, neither one really knew what to say. It wasn't so much of an awkward silence, just a..shy one.
Finally Rei spoke up. "So are you going back to Egypt after the tournament?" she asked.
"I'm not so sure. I know I'll stay here maybe a week after it's over, but I don't know about living here. I have a duty back in Egypt." instantly Rei thought of Usagi. She wouldn't be able to stay in Domino city either. She had sworn to protect the Moon Princess and serve her. Also she couldn't leave her grandpa or the temple. It was the only home she ever really had.
"I know what you mean. So when we leave, why don't we keep in touch. I can give you my temples address."
Marik smiled. "That would be great. And maybe in the summers we can visit each other." Rei nodded and took out a pencil and piece of paper from her bag. Just as she was finishing up her communicator went off. The raven haired girl quickly answered it. Tenshi's frantic face appeared on the screen.
"Rei! We need you at the hospital!" he cried, he looked beaten up and his eyes were red as if from crying. Rei and Marik looked at each other then quickly got up and rushed out.
