Here it is, short and sweet, just something I've been playing with. Oh, yes, and I don't own nor do I profit from the use of any names or characters associated with xXx.

"Yorgi's Future Bride"

It was a big day for Marenka; it was the day that Yorgi would allow her into the basement. Unfortunately, that pesky Ileana had argued her way into an invitation as well. But Marenka knew that Ileana didn't deserve it.

It was dark outside when Yorgi, Marenka and Ileana stood outside the basement door.

"Are you sure you're ready?" asked Yorgi. He looked at the two women standing before him. Both were dark, mysterious, and beautiful. Marenka stood around five feet and nine inches tall, with shoulder length brown hair and sharp green eyes. Her pale skin was offset by her black leather clothing. This one Yorgi liked; he knew for sure she was on his side; that she had the same ambitions as he. But Ileana; what a disappointment. Yorgi knew her to be a government agent, her ties to the Secret Police long since severed. But what could she do? Yorgi was having fun playing with her. And what a shame, he thought, she has such potential.

"I'm sure," said Marenka, without hesitation. Yorgi could tell by the blaze in her eyes that she meant it.

"Let's get on with it," said Ileana.

"Alright then, let's go," said Yorgi. He nodded at the guard, who opened the door. Marenka and Ileana followed Yorgi down into the humid basement. The events following were all a blur to Marenka.

It was later on, as Yorgi and his crew stood in the safety of the airtight lab, that Marenka got her solid proof that Ileana wasn't up to the task at hand. As they watched the scientists die at the hands of their creation, silent tears slid down Ileana's cheeks. There was pity and fear in her eyes. Marenka was disgusted.

Yorgi too noticed Ileana's reaction, and it didn't surprise him. He already knew that she didn't see. She felt bad for those people. She hadn't the thirst for revenge or power or hatred that Marenka possessed; that made Marenka ideal.

Several days later, Marenka and Yorgi and the rest of his crew stood in the room as Ileana sat in the chair. Marenka watched in pleasure and disbelief as Yorgi taunted Ileana; told her he'd known about her all along and had enjoyed "twisting her as he saw fit."

Later on, after they had killed Xander and Ileana, Yorgi had invited Marenka up to bedroom. Kolya brought them dinner; chicken Françaises and wine. They ate silently, Yorgi finishing before Marenka. He watched her eat and waited until she was finished to speak.

"A good criminal needs a partner. Partners in crime, I have, but not partners in life. For the past three years you have served me well; you are ruthless, skilled, and dangerous. These things, and many others, make you ideal. Will you rule by my side?"

Marenka was speechless. She just looked at Yorgi, unable to move.

"I will take that as a yes." he said, and stood, holding a hand out towards her. She took the hand and he guided her around the table, into his arms. He kissed her; a long, passionate kiss. When it was over, he led her to the bed, and they celebrated their engagement.

And best of all, Yorgi lives! The End.
