Chapter 5: The Meaning of the Ankh
Marik sat at the end of his bed. The only source of light in the dark room was from the lamp on the nightstand. He moved his fingers over the golden ankh in his hand.
"I miss you sister…" He said before he remove it from around his neck.
"Marik…"Malik said sadly as he began to slowly open the door.
"Yes, hikari…" He said as he his the ankh under the covers of the bed.
"I'm really sorry for what I said earlier…I guess I should have listened to what you had to say instead of storming out like I did…" Malik said; his head hanging low so Marik couldn't see the tears.
"It's okay, Little One…." Marik said as he pulled Malik onto his lap and hugged him.
"What sis you mean be 'I know how you feel'?" Malik asked as he played with a strand of Marik's dirty blonde hair.
"Malik…Back in Ancient Egypt I did have a sister…and she was…killed by the pharaoh's men…" He said sadly.
"Marik….I'm so sorry. I didn't know…" Malik said as he wiped away a tear that escaped from Marik's eye.
"It's okay…" He said as he hugged him tightly.
"What were you looking at earlier?" Malik asked curiously.
"Ohhh…this…" Marik said as he pulled the ankh out of its hiding place, and handed it to Malik.
"It's beautiful…." The hikari of the Sennen Rod said as he ran his hand our the golden object.
"I know…" Marik said as his hikari handed him back the ankh.
"Did your sister give it to you…"
"Yeah…She gave it to me before she died…" he said as he rested his head on his hikari's shoulder.
"Marik…Why was she killed…?"
I hope that you liked it.
