I KNOW I KNOW I HAVE OTHER THINGS TO UPDATE. DX But I'm working on it, I promise. Heh, actually, all of the stories I need to update, their chapters are either half-way done, or a little more then half-way done so, there. That includes "Psych Ward", "Where is the Edge", "50 theme challenge", and "Virtual Nightmare". I'll update and upload those chapters as soon as I can~ :)

Anyways, again, this is not slash. Just a little friendship/bromance thing between Formspring/Twitter Dartzy and YMarik, okay? Okay. :P If you are one of those that have no idea what is going on in this little drabble set, go to either of those websites and look for these two. Seriously. You'll get it.

I do not own anything. At all. Except, Dartzy's personality. Since, you know, I RP as him. ^^

The green-haired Atlantian huffed softly as he continued to listen to the sweet songs of the birds as they fluttered in the trees, chirping wildly. The sky was a mix of yellows and pinks and reds, the setting sun hugging the ocean-line as it slowly eased down behind it. It was a beautiful sight.

Dartz once again sighed. The silence at the Bakura household was thick, thick enough to cut with one of those steak knives the tomb robber used on a daily basis. On his meat.

He hated it, though. It caused him to go out more often, wanting to at least catch a glimpse of someone he knew. Anyone would do. Kisara, Kaiba, Mokuba….

"Rainbow Head!"

…or Marik. Yeah, Marik would do just fine.

Dartz smiled softly as he caught sight of the tanned Yami strolling over to him, the infamous grin plastered on his face. "Hello, Marik." He returned softly, patting the empty side of the bench with his palm.

Marik hummed happily before he sat down next to the Atlantian, patting the aqua tresses teasingly, grinning teasingly when Dartz growled at him and ducked his head down. "Watcha doing' out here?"

The Atlantian shrugged. "I don't know. Trying to clear my thoughts, I suppose…" he trailed off as he looked over at the colorful sunset again.

The youngest Yami tilted his head curiously at his friend and hummed, looking out over the horizon once before he looked back at the Atlantian and prodded his shoulder. "But that's so…boring." He frowned.

Dartz turned to look at him and chuckled softly. "Really now?"

"Yes! Why would you try and focus on the past? Live life now, not for back then."

The green-haired immoral hummed softly, showing he had heard what the other had said, placing his hands in his lap as he sighed. "All I have is the past, Marik. All those centuries of collecting souls for the Orichalcos…" he tried to ignore how the yami flinched at that name. "…And then what happened in Egypt. It's just…hard for me to focus on the future." he frowned.

The blonde Egyptian copied his frown and moved so that he was sitting closer to Dartz. "Hey now, you don't need to think of those things ever again. All of us have told you millions of times that none of those things were your fault. So stop being so mopey, m'kay?" he grinned, pushing the smaller shoulder playfully.

Dartz turned to look at his friend and shrugged, even abet a small smile that formed on his face at the yami. "I guess it's worth a shot."

"Good!" Marik suddenly sat up at that, not being able to stay in the same place for very long, grabbing the former king's skinny arm and tugging him up with him. Dartz grunted in surprise and scrambled to be able to stay on his feet before he looked at the yami curiously.

"Are we going somewhere?"

"Yep! We're going on a walk!"

Dartz huffed softly. "Marik, I've been on walks all around Domino by now. I don't think that will help me very much…"

"Have you been by the pier yet?"

The Atlantian blinked at that. "Well….no, I haven't…"

Marik grinned and immediately started tugging his friend down the walkway of the park that led towards the ocean. "Then come along, Rainbow Head~"

One of the former king's elegant eyebrows rose but he followed the tanned yami along out of the grassy area and down the now lit up streets of the Japanese city. He could smell the sea air from the small bay, the sky turning a rich, velvet color as he hummed, more than willing to follow his friend along. He was right, though. There was a pier along the edge of the bay, one he had never seen before. Warehouses surrounded them, storage units that were ominously dark.

Marik grinned as he stopped and looked out over the ocean, taking a moment to stretch his muscular body out. "Heh, see? I told'ja~" he grinned back at him, over his shoulder.

Dartz, after stuffing his hands in his pockets as a chilly breeze washed over him, snorted and just moved to stand beside his friend, looking out over the dark water as well. "I never had any doubts~" he smirked.

Wrapping an arm around the Atlantian's shoulders, an action that made Dartz jump in surprise and Marik snicker in amusement, he pulled him closer. The air was cool and the yami didn't think his jacket was warm enough. He enjoyed his friend's warmth as he kept him close, chuckling as the former king rolled his eyes, in good humor.

It was peaceful out in Domino City at night. But, he found that it was especially nice out of the sometimes crowded walk-ways and blaring lights he knew he still wasn't used to. Out with the Yami, just the two of them…

..or so he thought.

Marik picked up on it first. He swiveled his head around as his ears pricked at the sound of soft footsteps, a soft and suspicious grunt coming from him that made Dartz turn around as well, looking at his friend curiously.

"Something wrong?"

Lilac eyes narrowed. "There's someone else here."

Dartz blinked in confusion. Was there any reason to worry? What if it was just a couple of kids, or a young couple? He shouldn't be alarmed, right?

Of course, Marik knew the city better than he did.

He grabbed onto Marik's shoulder and shook it gently. "Come on, Marik. Let's just walk away, alright?" he asked in a hushed tone, frowning when his friend didn't move a muscle. The youngest of the yamis kept his glare on the two figures as he wrapped a meaty hand around Dartz's wrist, standing in front of him. The Atlantian blinked, looking out from the tanned yami's figure, golden eyes widening.

Those two figures…they were hauntingly similar to…

"Marik…come on…" he tried again, squirming as he looked at Marik with a pleading look in his eyes. The tanned yami looked at his friend and grunted. He kept the tight grip on his wrist, but started walking away, just as he had requested.

Dartz, meanwhile, looked back at the two figures and felt a shiver go up his spine as he looked at them. The colors, the look, the eyes…

"Stop looking." Marik whispered, nudging him with his shoulder. Dartz jerked out of his watch and just sighed shakily, calming his nerves as he kept walking. Still, he could feel their burning gazes on him.

"Marik—"

"Shhh, Rainbow Head~"

The former king of Atlantis gave another sigh before he continued walking along wherever Marik led him. They kept walking down the long expansion of the warehouses and Dartz suddenly wished it was more than just them. However, when he looked back, he nearly had a heart attack.

"Marik….Marik!"

The yami looked at him, frowning deeply. "Dartzy, when I say "shhh", that means—"

"They're not there anymore!" the former king practically shrieked.

Marik blinked before he looked behind him and he took a deep breath. Dartz was right. Those two shadowy figures were gone. To where, he had no idea. And that's what he was worried about. It was freaking dark out here. They could be anywhere…

"Alright, just calm down, Rainbow Head. And stay close." He said quietly as he started to walk at a faster pace, waiting a little bit for his friend to catch up. All the while, his lilac eyes kept darting around, trying to catch a glimpse of the figures.

Dartz was looking too, only a little more fearfully. He wasn't sure why he was so afraid. If it had been two teenagers or something, he would have rolled his eyes at the thought. But…something wasn't right here. Those two that vanished…there was an aura around them that was so chillingly familiar, it made the former king tremble.

Marik could pick up on his friend's fear easily, the connection they shared through their marks making it possible. But he wasn't taking this fear lightly. He could sense this evil aura, just as Dartz could. And he didn't like it.

But before he could give another thought on the idea, he shrieked in surprise as he felt something embed itself in his shoulder and he was jerked away from his friend, falling onto the floor. Looking to his shoulder, he saw the blade that was buried in it and he swallowed, the blood making him lick his lips.

But now wasn't the time for that.

Dartz, meanwhile, had stumbled back with wide eyes, looking at the yami's predicament. "Mari—Mmpphh!" His screech of his friend's name was cut off as he felt a strong arm cuff him under the chin as a cloth covered his nose and mouth, forcing him to breath in the fumes that made his eyes start to droop.

Marik looked up and growled loudly, having already torn the knife out of his shoulder and instead held the bleeding wound with his hand. His lilac eyes were on fire though, anger shining in them.

"Get your hands off—the hell!" he cried out in surprise as he suddenly found himself as the same position as the former king. Only, he fought. And fought hard. He squirmed and thrashed with all his might, grinning darkly as he heard his capturer grunt in surprise, struggling to hold him.

He was only stopped when a solid punch to his stomach forced him to cough out a bit of blood and taking a gasping breath it, giving the dark figure a perfect opportunity to shove the same cloth in his face, forcing him to breath in the drug.

Marik still fought, even as he knew it was pointless. He only stopped as he felt his body start to lose all strength, the two dark figures letting him fall to his knees as he looked up, growling softly at them.

The last thing he saw was a pair of red eyes glaring at him, as well as a pair of bi-colored orbs, leering as well. Then, it was darkness.

I know none of this makes much sense but...well it does. It just depends on who you are. ;)
