Chapter 5
A knock on the door caught both their attention. The platinum blonde walked over to the door and noticed a tall black haired young man. The most striking of his features were his emerald green eyes. After using the peep hole to reassure himself there was no caution needed. Marik opened the door and the young man that stood there smiled and offered his hand. "The names Duke Devlin, and I'm your landlord."
Marik stood slightly taken aback and invited the stranger in. "I hope you don't mind, I took liberty of furnishing the home." Duke spoke his words smooth as melted butter. "Definitely wasn't expected, however no less appreciated."Marik replied in his serious yet not so formal tone. The furnishing which the tone of purple very similar to Marik's lavender orbs.
Bakura who remained planted on the couch mearly shifted in the direction of the guest. Duke who has dealt with his share of either admiration or criticism simply shrugged off Bakuras action. Marik grabbed the opportunity to turn the attention from Bakura. "To what do we owe the pleasure of your visit?" Marik genuinely threw the question out as it did deserve and answer.
Duke chuckled he seemed tickled by the inquiry. "Only to see how well you were settling in and to give you my number should you require anything." Duke slipped a card from his slim fingers to Mariks unprepared hand as he barely caught the card. Marik nodded at Duke as dark haired young man made his exit.
As Marik closed the door, Bakura scoffed and leaned back into the couch. The shades were a royal purple which were reminiscent of the rare hunter garb he wore for so long. "Don't tell me your biting your tongue Bakura, I'm sure there is something on your mind." Marik turned his attention to the tomb robber. "Oh, and what would bring you to be interested in what I think of all things?" Bakura sarcastically stressed the I to purposely jab at Marik.
"Look if this is about the pods I bought more to replace the ones I drank. I even got some tea ones for you so you wont have to wait for the tea pot." Marik sauntered over to the pantry and pulled out a variety of different caffeinated beverages pods for the Keurig. Since Marik had done quite the self less task Bakura decided to humor the ex tomb keeper and left his position on the couch and joined him in kitchen. After mulling over the selection Bakura decided he did fancy a tea.
Duke had decided to head straight to the domino museum to meet up with Ishizu. As if she knew he was arriving Ishizu was in the foyer of the museum. Serenity was at her right side the picture of innocence. Duke while he had a crush on Serenity he was willing to wait and not pressure her. She was still in her school uniform. Ishizu handed Serenity a cellphone and motioned for her to use the office closest to them. "Go ahead and catch up, we will work on your homework later." Ishizu instructed Serenity and she quickly followed as told.
"What ever happened to Joey anyway?" This had perked Dukes curiosity and he could count Ishizu knew more than she revealed. "All in good time, but for now how are the two finding their new home?"
I'm sorry I didn't have too much happen. I will be more prepared in the next chapter. I apologize again I have been very drained this past week from all the events and I promise to make up for it. Have a great day!
