Chapter 7
Disaster is in the air
Ishizu pushed Seto away from her and placed her fingertips on her lips.
"You have a lot of nerve,Seto." Her voice was calm.
Seto smiled and watched the woman before him in amusement.He walked into the living room and sat down on the leather sofa.
"Or maybe I wanted something else."
Ishizu rolled her eyes at Seto's strange and annoying attitude.
"Seto,get the hell out of my house!"
"Hey hey hey,no reason for language." He stood up and walked towards her looking around. "Nice place you have here,it's amazing how big things can come from such little people." He touched her cheek.
Ishizu slapped him. "I'm tired of your crap take your roses and leave."
Seto's seductive smile melted into a frown.He grabbed the eygptian's neck and slammed her against the wall knocking over the vase of roses.
Ishizu choked. "What do you plan on doing?I won't let you touch Keket.I swear it!"
"SHUT UP!" Seto back handed her loosening his grip on her neck but it was still very firm. "I'm going to get that item from Keket whether you like it or not.And you know what else?You're coming with it."
Keket sat on the edge of her bed rubbing her armlet in deep thought.The power was still out and her only light ws the random flash of purple lighting that passed her window.
She thought mostly about Marik.Sometimed he acted as a friend,other times a bodyguard and now,now he was acting like a...
What was he acting like?It certainly wasn't a boyfriend.A pervert maybe?But he said he didn't mean it.Marik was too confusing.
She saw his reflection in the window as he came in with the second candle.He set it on the dresser and closed the door.
"Hey." He said looking away from her.
"Hey."
"I thought you would have been asleep by now." He crawled underneath the covers.
"I was thinking."
"Oh.May I ask what you were thinking about?"
"Um..oh nothing.It's really silly.Goodnight Marik." She slipped back into bed covering her reddened face.
"Goodnight."
Keket could help but wake Marik sleep.Awake or not,Marik was still handsome.She wanted to touch his hair,run her fingers through it, but it Marik caught her may Ra have mercy on her soul.
The rest of the night went rather peacefully if you don't include the pounding rain and cracks of thunder and lighting plus the "naughty" dreams.
7:35 A.M.
Keket woke up to the sound of counting.
"89,90,91,92..."
She sat up noticing Marik wasn't in bed insted,he was on the floor doing sit-ups.
"Marik?"
The tanned boy looked up at her continuing his workout.
"What?"
"Why are you doing sit-ups?"
"Becasue I can.Do you have a problem with that?"
Keket's eyes narrowed. "No.Hey,do you know if the power is back on?"
"101,102,...It is."
"Cool." She slipped out of bed and opened her dresser drawer pulling out a white sleeveless shirt that said Freedom and dark blue jeans.
Marik lost count after 105 seeing Keket pull out her lingerie.Their eyes connected and he quickly went back to exercising.Keket stepped into the bathroom and locked the door.
8:57 A.M.
Marik finished cooking breakfast for the two of them.He sat on the bar stool waiting for Keket.Soon after,she came out with her hairin a ponytail.
She sat next to him. "Wow,Marik,I never knew you could cook.Then again I don't know what it taste like." She looked at the plate of bacon,scrambled eggs,and pancakes suspiciously.
Marik gave her a look of hatred.
"Relax,I'm just playing." She took and bit and smile in approval.
Marik watched her eat.It was very proper yet had her own personality to it.The two finished and washed their dishes.Marik went to go take a bath and Keket decided to watch the news.
"Hello,This is Mr.Okinawa, the weatherman,and I'm here to give you nothing but good news.Today we will be experiencing nothing but sunshine and bikinis.So get out there and enjoy the day!"
Keket turned off the TV.It was amazing how one day everything is gloomy and depressive and the next surprise!Sunshine!
Marik came out of the bedroom pulling an orange shirt over his head.
"Hey Marik,guess what?"
"What?"
"The weatherman said it is going to be sunny all day today."
"I could have told you that."
"Can we go somewhere today?"
"We're not shopping again." He stretched.
"I know that.What about...the beach?"
"I see where you're going with this.You know we don't have any bathing suits!You're trying to get me to spend money again."
"No I'm not!Marik we can just walk along the beach,we don't have to play in the water!"
"Well,forget it,I'm not doing it.Besides,Kaiba could be out there looking for us and I don't feel like messing with him today."
"Then what are we gonna do?Sit here?"
"Go read a book." Marik pointed to the outdated magazines on the coffee table.
Keket growled at him. and walked to the door.
"And where are you going?You're not leaving Keket!"
"What are you?My bodyguard?I can do whatever the hell I want!"
"No you can't.Ishizu told me to take care of you."
Keket opened the door. "Well maybe I don't need your protection.I should havejust went with Seto Kaiba at least he wouldn't be giving me such a hard time!"
"You don't mean that.Plus,you don't know Kaiba that well!"
"Well there's one thing I do know.Marik Ishtar is a complete and total ass!" She slammed the down and ran down the hallway.
Keket had finally found out what Marik always acted like.
Richard pulled up into the driveway of Ishizu's house noticing right away the door was wide open.He jumped out of his beige Mercedes and ran into the house.
"Miss Ishtar!Miss Ishtar!" He looked around the house frantically.
The sound of painful moaning made him fear the worst.He followed the cry for help into the bedroom.There,he found Isis curled in her bed naked and bruised.
She looked up at Richard, terror still present in her eyes.The man embraced her as she bursted into crying.He looked down at the floor where white flower petals laid scattered across the ground.
"I'm going to call Marik.It's time for him to come home."
