"Marik, where are you?" Malik called frantically.
"Just upstairs, love." the soothing reply came. He smiled. He walked up the stairs.
"No, uh, Malik, uh, I found a really big snake up here...I'm trying to kill it, okay"
Malik screamed, and thudded down the stairs he had just climbed. He had a deathly fear of snakes, as he'd been bitten by a cobra at the innocent age of ten. He had no idea that wasn't the kind of snake it was...
"Marik..." Akina said. "I missed you"
"I'm here now, so don't complain." he growled.
"I'm not. Bakura treated me bad." she sighed. "And you don't"
"How do I treat you"
"Like an equal. Like I'm special. Like you care about me"
"Mmm...okay."He said, kissing her. "Unfortunately, I don't have much time. Malik will get suspicious. Meet me tonight"
"Where?" she asked eagerly. She slipped her hand into his and looked into his eyes. He looked back.
"Can you possibly have me over at your house"
"No. Duke will be there, and so will Bakura." she said, spitting out the names. "How about over at that one club you like so much"
"Poison"
"Yeah. That's it. What about it? Can you be there"
"Sure. I'll say that I went to the club to talk with Bakura about you"
"That bastard"
"Yeah, I know." he whispered. "But don't worry, soon you'll be away from him."
Little did they know that Malik had heard the whole conversation. "Marik...why? Why are you doing this to me?"
Well, I gotta go away again for awhile...but I promise I will try to update ASAP. But that may not be for awhile. Sorry for the inconvenience.
