~Meeting the Pain~

We drove into Daiki's driveway and got out of the car. I looked up at the two story house in front of me. It was humongous! The house was white with trimmings of red on the windowsills. There were red roses all lined up in rows in the front yard. The front yard was big, big enough to fit a whole football field!

They looked like they were rich, and I was feeling a bit envy of them how they can have such a wonderful violent free life where their mom didn't have to marry twenty different guys and got abused by all of them.

We walked up to the front door and my mom rang the doorbell and we were soon facing a grinning black haired man who looked like he was in his late twenty's. "Um hello, is this the Tazukima residence?" my mom asked nervously. "Why yes it is. My name is Daiki Tazukima, and you must be Tadinanefer Ishtar am I correct?" Daiki asked, sticking out his hand and taking my moms to shake, flashing her a grin.

"A-ah yes, yes it is." my mom said, her face flushing a bright hot pink and took Daiki's hand to shake. I stood there shifting my weight to the right side of my leg. Daiki finally seemed to notice I was standing there very uncomfortably and spoke to me," Ah this must be young Malik no?" he flashed me a dazzling smile and I couldn't help but grin a little back at him.

My mom turned to face me and she smiled softly,"Yes, this is my son Malik, say hello Malik." my mom urged me. I nervously looked up at Daiki and gave him a shaky smile,"He-hello, my name's Malik, it's very nice to meet you." Inside I gagged, it's not like Daiki's bad but this mushy crap is not my thing. 'it's a pleasure meeting you too Malik, I can't wait for you to meet Marik." Daiki beamed happily at the mention of his son.

"Where is he?" my mom questioned turning to face Daiki. "Well he should be here any minute, I told him he had to be home early from his friend's house because we would be meeting some new people." he laughed quietly to himself,"He didn't take it so well."

"While we're waiting for him, lets go inside, okay?" Daiki urged us inside his house and I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought outside was huge but you should the inside! The stairs were pearly white with a red rug flowing off of it. There was a couch and coffee table along with a TV in the first room. There was a golden chandler hanging in the middle of the room with crystal ice shards hanging from it.

As we walked to the kitchen, our footsteps bounced off the hallway walls making it echo into oblivion. For a two story house it sure looked like a mansion on the inside.

There were so many priceless things in this house I wondered how anyone could enjoy their selves with so many priceless things laying about. As we settled down on the chairs in the kitchen, we heard a car door slam shut along with the sound of the front door opening and closing roughly. I winced at the loud impact it made and visibly trembled as it brought back so many horrible memories.

"Ah, he's home. Daiki smiled smoothly and called out for Marik. Marik, we're in the kitchen."

For a while we were surrounded by a hushful silence, but it was soon broken by the heavy footsteps coming from the hallway. There was soon another figure in the room with us and I couldn't help but stare.

Marik had hair that was spiky and it seemed to define gravity. He was wearing black skinny jeans and a white shirt that said 'I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it!' He was also wearing a diamond earring in his left ear. He had caught me staring and turned quickly to face me which I immediately turned to face my mom and Daiki. "Marik these are our guests, Mrs. Ishtar and her son Malik. Please say hello Marik." Daiki was looking at Marik intensely, waiting for him to make a move.

Moments passed by and no one moved or said a word, we all just sat there, staring at one another. Finally my mom decided to speak,"Hello there, my name is Tadinanefer and this is my son Malik." my mom pointed to me and i looked up to see Marik looking at me, well it looked more like a glare so I bent my head back down and looked at my shoes, pretending to be interested in them. "We're very glad to meet you."

Marik grunted, I take it that was the response my mom would receive and she swiftly turned her attention back to Daiki. I remained looking at my shoes, but every now and then I would look at Marik through the corner of my eyes and he would be glaring at me.

"Say Marik, why don't you show Malik around the house, hmm?" Daiki questioned, looking up from his cup of coffee.

I looked up frantically at Daiki and turned to Marik, he didn't seem so pleased with the request. 'Oh I'm so fucked' I thought desperately. 'I told you the Gods hate me.'
