*Authors note: !WARNING! ALMOST LEMON!
NekoNeko: This is probably the last chapter I'll do in a while for Bathing in Sunshine. So far I've had almost no response to this story, so yeah.
Ninja Steve: She thinks everyone hates it.
NekoNeko: This is very hurtful, since this is my first fanfic. But I will continue if you want me to. Please want me to! This is a story to be built on, so feel free to give me tips! Also, I know I use the English names, but I prefer to use the name Mariku to Malik. ENJOY THE LAST CHAPTER YOU WILL SEE IN A WHILE OF BIS!
Also, the bit in italics is Marik's flashback to the day in the first chapter.
PLEASE REMEMBER ONLY CHAIKRAH, SUNNY AND THE PLOT ARE MINE! I DO NOT OWN YU-GI-OH! IF I DID, 4KIDS WOULDNT OF RUINED IT, I WOULD BE RICH, AND I WOULDNT BE WRITING THIS AS A FANFIC! ENJOY!*
*Chapter five: I hate Schoolgirls*
*MARIKU*
Shit. I forgot that Chaikrah was inhabiting that girl's body. Bakura said she hadn't yet, and that she was still building her host a soul. She hissed at me like a snake. "Did you think you could get away with trying to hurt my hikari, Mariku?" I chuckled. "I don't want her. I want you, Chaikrah." She took a step back, her head tipped back. She was laughing! She bent over, holding her stomach. "Ahahaha, do you know how many times I've been told that? Don't lie. You don't need me, or want me. You're powerful enough by yourself. And how do you expect to get me without Sunny?" I had to convince her.
"Well, first I would, uh..." She smiled. "Well first, you would have to try and get the Irons without hurting Sunny or you would risk waking me. Then you would leave part of my soul behind in Sunny, find me a new host that is compatible with me, which is very rare, since I am only compatible with the Yotsumatsu family, and three of them are dead." This was a lot more complicated than I thought. "Chaikrah, I need you to listen. I need you to help me destroy everything." Her face frowned. "What do you mean by everything?" I looked into the sunset. This had taken a while. "I mean everyone. I mean everything. I mean the universe."
The orange light shimmered on Chaikrah's beautiful, confused and seemingly hurt face as she whispered, "I would never, ever do that. Everything is too precious to meaninglessly destroy. Every life is a miracle." Christ, she's being herself. I needed her to get angry, so much so that she's blinded with rage. I went for it. "You can't talk." She started getting defensive. "I had no control! I didn't mean it! And how do you even..." She looked distracted, and then she whispered, "Sunny, it's not safe for you! ...Well, okay, if you think so..." The Egyptian eyes on her Millennium Irons began to glow, and she fell backwards in a dramatic way. "WOAH!" Oh fuck this, the little brat is back! Chaikrah had got away again! She got up off her ass, ran over to me and swung in front of me, grabbing the white haired boy's hand. He was there the whole time! Why didn't I notice? They were sprinting away, the now purple-ish orange light sparkling on their shimmering hair. I found that I had no reason to chase them, so I turned and headed for the gate. What a waste of time.
*MARIK*
And what fresh hell was that? I was standing outside a large store, painted black with a giant metal sign that exclaimed in bright pink letters, "XXX Super Store" with two heavy paper bags, each printed with a large black "X". What? I grabbed the handles of one of the bags and pulled them apart to look inside. I swiftly swung my head away. "Ugh!" Magazines, handcuffs, and suggestive maid costumes filled the bag. What the fuck was Mariku trying to pull off? I decided I was feeling generous. Hmm, now who needs some fun? I giggled as I walked down the street. This will be funny. I sneakily ran up to a doorstep and dumped the bags. As I started to turn I realised something. I forgot to ring the bell. I quickly pushed the little white button and I ran to hide behind a tree. The door swung open to reveal a teenage boy with blonde hair. "Joey, who is it?" a voice called from inside. "Um, no one's here, just some bags..." He opened one up. "Argh! Christ!" A younger girl with long red hair came up beside him. "What is it, Joey? I wanna see!" His mother called from inside, "Joey, bring those here!" He ran inside with the bags and the girl ran after him, her red hair tailing behind her. "Joey!" The door slammed behind her. I noticed what I was doing was what some kids did to other people on my street. Why wasn't I ever a kid?
It was really dark now. Something jingled in my pocket. I got it out, the glowing light stinging my purple eyes. It was another pointless message from the provider. I closed the message and looked at the little pink numbers. It was already 10:28pm. I slid the phone back into my pocket and sighed. I looked across the cracked road and saw the dark lake. Her blond hair, that cheeky attitude, I just loved everything about her. But I knew I shouldn't. Being with me puts her in danger, and I definitely don't want that. But that lake, it just makes me think about her. Sunny Yotsumatsu.
*THURSDAY LAST WEEK*
"Damn this..." I whispered as I pressed the up button. "The elevator's fucked." I had taken us ages to try and lose Bakura, and now the elevator doesn't work? She looked at me. "We could take the stairs." I looked at her face. "They collapsed under pressure. Mrs. Kazuya isn't losing any weight." Sunny giggled. She was so cute. "Well, Marik, where do you want to go then?" I thought for second. The arcade? But it was closed at this time of night. Or the...? "Yes!" I thought, "I'll take her there!" I grabbed her hand. "Come on, sunny!" I smiled. "It's time to go!"
"Isn't it pretty?" I asked her as she gazed in awe at the Sapphire Lake. The reflection of the full moon danced across the soft ripples. "Yes, it really is. I am very grateful that you took me here Marik! Thank you!" I felt although I was about to pass out. No one had ever said "thank you" so sincerely to me before. "Hey, Marik, how deep is this lake?" I looked at her. "Hmm, around 3 metres around the edges, and 5 metres in the middle." Sunny plonked herself down onto the park bench, and I followed. "So why the fuck is Bakura trying to kill you?" She pulled up the sleeve of her pink blazer. "Well, it's these." The golden cuff glimmered in the moonlight. "He was trying to kill you for jewellery?" She smiled as she turned her wrist to reveal the eye, the same eye that was inscribed on my Millennium Rod.
"I thought there were only seven!" Sunny looked puzzled. "Seven of what?" She didn't know? "The Millennium Items! All of the ancient Egyptian artifacts have those eyes inscribed into them. Some of them contain souls, like my Item; some of them give powers to the owner, like my sister's Item. What you have there is very powerful and could be dangerous. You must never let Bakura have this. Neither anyone else." She nodded. I shivered a little, and she started un-buttoning her blazer. "Hmm?" She draped it over my bare shoulders. "You should wear a coat some time!" Her white, long-sleeved, business shirt fluttered in the wind as she looked out to the lake. "Why are you being so nice, Sunny?" She looked at me and smiled sweetly. "Why shouldn't I? You have been very kind to me, so it wouldn't be fair to just be horrible to you, would it?" She snuggled closer to me, and looked back out to the lake. "It's funny to see all the ducks sleeping on top of the water. They just look so silly." Sunny was so cute when she talked, or sneezed, or anything! I couldn't have been falling for her already, could I?
She leaned her blond head on my shoulder and sighed. Her golden blond hair mixed with my pale blond hair as the wind blew westwards. "Life is so tiring and stupid." That was one thing I wasn't expecting to hear from a well fed girl living in a suburban paradise. "Well, can I help fix that?" She looked up in to my lilac eyes and cooed, "Maybe you can." Her right hand was at the back of my head, her left holding my hand. My right hand slid to her back and I went for it. The kiss was long, sweet and perfect. A lot better than Bakura's kiss, I'll tell you that for free. I felt a bit sad when it ended, and Sunny whispered, "You can swim okay, right?" I was confused. "Erm, yeah, why?" A wicked smile shone on her face as she said playfully, "Oh, just this reason." She giggled when she pushed me into the shining lake. When I surfaced, she shouted, "Out of the way!" and splashed into the lake, causing the water splash and wriggle. "Hey, Marik!" I turned to her floating head. "I need you to do me a favour. Next time you see Ryou with me, please pretend that you're annoying me, and pretend to get scared if he threatens you. He's my best friend, and he thinks he's girly, so I need you to help." I smiled. "Okay, Sunny, anything for you!"
