Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh!

The morning sun peeked through the hotel blinds and heated the room to a lovely degree of sixty seven degrees. The birds sang songs of the beautiful morning. Ryou let out a sleepy sigh before slowly opening her hazel eyes, she sat up to find that she was back in her own bed. She smiled slightly. Marik must have put her there after she fell asleep. He either did it because he respected her as a person or that there wasn't enough room in one bed, she voted the second answer, but still it was nice of him. Getting up Ryou walked over to the window and looked out of it, it was a lovely day! So she showered and changed into a pair of jean shorts and a violet sleeveless tee. She placed her hair in two cute braids which was held up by matching ribbons.

"Hmm...Yami-kun has been quiet lately." she spoke to herself as she reached and pulled out the ring from her bag.

"About time you picked up the ring! what were you doing!?" demanded the impatient Yami.

Ryou thought for a moment. "Uhh...." She couldn't possibly tell her darker half that she had slept next to Marik, he would take it out of proportion and try to kill him. She had to think of something fast.

"I was looking for seashells!" she said failing incredibly at lying.

"Sea shells?" Bakura asked.

"Yes."

"Where are the seashells now?" Bakura replied.

"I put them back."

"Right..." With that Ryou placed the ring around her neck. "Bakura-kun, let's take a walk on the boardwalk!" she said getting excited about the idea.

"Question."

"Yes?" she gulped feeling nervous.

"What's a boardwalk?" Ryou giggled. "Its basically a bunch of shops linked together." So with that she grabbed her belongings and headed into the warm day ready to shop. She looked through many things and smiled.

"Hey Ryou!" Malik called, he was with Yugi, Atem, Joey, and the rest of the gang, all except for Marik, she slightly wondered where he was.

"Shopping Ryou?" asked the Pharaoh. Ryou only smiled cutely which would made any guy's heart melt. (Ryou: Hey! Don't forget I use to be a guy!) Anzu smiled.

"Hey!!! Let's all go to lunch!" she said. Everyone agreed and went to a small Chinese buffet in the middle of the boardwalk.

Meanwhile Marik Ishtar was looking over some items on the other side of the board walk. He was pondering what he wanted to get Ryou. Nothing to forward but something nice that he know she would like. Sighing, he ran out of ideas. A worker at the store smiled.

"Looking for something sir?" she asked. Marik turned to look at the woman.

"Yes, I want something nice for a friend of mine."

"Male or female?" asked the clerk.

"Female." The Egyptian replied smoothly.

"Oh then I know just the thing sir!" she went into the back, she returned a few minutes later with a bundle of flowers. They were this exotic aqua blue color and they were beautiful but weird looking at the same time. Marik grinned.

"How much?"

"15 dollars sir." she said. Marik slapped the money in the woman's hand and took the flowers and left. He walked down the board walk and saw in the window the gang of friends enjoying they're meal, he felt his eye twitch because Ryou was among them.

"There you are Yami-kun!" said Malik. "Come sit and eat with us!"

"Okay." the darker replied. Ryou looked up and smiled.

"Hi...Ryou." he smiled slightly back and arched his back, backwards and dropped the flowers on the side walk. He walked in and sat beside his hikari. Ryou got up and blinked, she walked outside without notice.

"Such different taste." commented Marik as he ate the food. Ryou returned with the flowers in hand.

"Someone left these on the side of the boardwalk." she said. She smiled. "They're addressed to me." Upon seeing the flowers Marik felt his food wanting to come back up he turned away.

"Who are they from Ryou-chan?" asked Anzu. Ryou looked.

"It doesn't say." she said and smiled.

"They're my favorite color."

Marik got quiet and wanted to walk away but he knew that wasn't an option. Ryou, clearly happy with the flowers looked to Marik.

"Did you happen to see who left them as you walked in?" she asked. Marik looked to her.

"Nope. sorry." he said, god he felt completely stupid. Ryou shrugged and when they returned to the hotel, she placed them in water. The white haired beauty sat on her bed and flipped through the channels. It was getting dark and the setting sun turned the sea into a scarlet shade of red. She smiled and looked out her window. She saw Marik swimming, he stood up waist high in water, her spiky hair flatten by the dampness of the water. Hi went shoulder length. She felt her cheeks heat up as she watched him in silence.

Bakura appeared transparent beside her. "Who are you looking at?" he asked. Ryou turned sharply and looked to her Yami.

"No one!" she replied a bit too quickly.

"Oh really?" he asked.

"Really. The sun is really pretty."

"Peh, the sun is nothing but really hot."

"Heh." Ryou giggled softly.

"Ryou because, I wouldn't trust Marik if I were you. He may be gentle with you now, but once someone prettier then you comes along, you'll be yesterday's history."

"Marik isn't like that!" she said suddenly. "He wouldn't just ditch me somewhere when another pretty girl came along he has more class then that!"

"Are you sure Ryou?" asked the Yami.

"Stay away from him, he's no good. Stay away while you can." With that the Yami disappeared into the ring.

Ryou stayed on her bed and sighed, a while later Marik walked into the room. Ryou smiled softly.

"Why are you smiling?" Marik asked, clearly in a foul mood.

"I really like the flowers." she said. "Thank you for them." she said.

"Why are you thanking me?" he asked.

"Because you sent them to me." she said.

"No.." he lied.

"...Oh." she said.

"Anyway let's get some sleep. Tomorrow we go to the amusement park." he said and got into bed. Ryou smiled nonetheless and fell asleep. She had a nice peaceful dream.

Done! wait for chappie 4!
