Chapter Five: Schwere Träume/Meine Liebe
"That emperor, who sways the realm of sorrow, at mid breast from th' ice stood forth; and I in stature am more like a giant, than the giants are in his arms. (Inferno Canto 34, lines 28-30) "

Empty.
A void.
Affection.
Love.
No guilt.
No remorse.
Once again.
Rough.
Harsh.
Hellish.
Encircle...
My dear…Bruised.
Want.
Need.
Desire.
Lust…
Amidst the spinning images around her, she heard his laugh. It was deep, sinister, and ridden with lust.
She was so confused, and her heart hammered in her chest. The chains kept her arms in place as his prisoner and his only possession, an aide memoire of his conquest of battle City.
She felt him right behind her, the strong arms around her waist, and the violet mantle around his shoulders flowing onto her arms as well. It almost felt comforting with the warmth of his cape around her bare shoulders, covering her from the nakedness of her own cut and bruised body.
Angels call your name…She felt the Millennium Rod hanging from the belt loop on his side, the weapon of his sadism, that he could break anyone to his will, including her, if he wanted. She was too tired to fight, not even flinching from his fingers brushing against her midriff, almost soothing her even.
In what almost seemed like no time, he slunk from behind her and was standing right next to her, towering over her once again, his cape encircling her supine form. What he had given might have taken a lot of energy from her. He reminisced her ministrations on her form, how she shook from his magic fingers and the pleasured scream she uttered, all shown and witnessed with half-lidded eyes that oozed malevolence.
A devious smile twisting his features, Marik squatted down next to her and stared at her. She was so lovely in his possession, with blood from the dried cuts and her chest inhaling and exhaling the oxygen she can get, with her breasts so irresistible to the touch. She seemed to enjoy being touched in places she was never aware of; he couldn't wait to move inside her and take her as his own.
Finally, after all this time, they would become lovers in the darkness they created.
His grin broadened.
He was growling softly in his smile.
He crawled closer to Serenity, pulling her in front of him and an arm hooked around her waist, despite the pull of the callous chains.
She stared at him through half-lidded eyes.
He gave her a sideways glance, and with one hand, reached behind him, exposing the Millennium Rod.
She stiffened, finally.
She wanted to move back to the wall, but he had her trapped, her eyes focused on the haunting eye on the scepter.
It started to glow.
Her breath caught in her throat.
In a flash, a sharp light struck the chains that bound her to the wall, unknowingly causing her to fall forward. A yelp emitted from her mouth before his arms caught her in an illusory embrace.
At last, she was free from the physical restraints.
Her muscles ached and her arms had gone numb from the chains' heartless grasp on her. She tried to move at least one of them, tingling sensations seized her senses and she couldn't move them anymore. She then let herself be entangled in the demon's arms until the numbness in her arms faded away.
Stillness…
Silence…
Why?
Why are you laughing?
Was it something that I said?
Or did?
We all fall down…"My dear, are you pleased that you're not chained anymore?" Marik wound her hair around his fingers, almost seeing the blood of thousands amongst his hand.
Serenity looked up at him, puzzled as a newborn child. Terror soon filled her formerly glazed eyes; she gazed down at her chaffed wrists and she nodded hesitantly.
Twisted fragments…Letting go of her hair, Marik let his fingers move to her face, where he cupped her face and moved his face towards hers. "Well, you're quite vulnerable now. I'm sure you've learned your lesson, after defying me, that is."
She remembered.
She tried to intercept his touch and caresses, but in the end she gave in.
He broke her.
He broke her spirit, shattered her heart and pulled her in towards the descent to madness. Gaze in the abyss and you would never be normal again, forever damned to have a cross to bear.
It was killing her, almost eating very fiber left of her soul that was filled with hope and redemption for her friends, her brother and herself.
Illusion of knowledge…She ran when there was terror amidst, when everyone was almost left for dead. She panicked when Marik was the winner of the damned tournament. She fled when Yami was defeated, when Mai sustained no more, succumbing to the darkness and when everyone else didn't exist anymore.
They didn't exist anymore.
They didn't exist anymore.
Serenity hid her face in Marik's chest, stubborn enough to not show her tears to a demon like him. She felt his hands lift from her face to her back, entwining his fingers with her long auburn hair.
"Is this even real, Marik? Is this real? Why?" She whispered, sobbing. "Why?"
"It is very real, my dear, as we are real. Your friends are gone. You have no one left but me, my Serenity. Doesn't it give you relief with everyone's eyes full of judgment and condemnation gone? Doesn't it?" He whispered the last two words in her ear as his hands began to slither above her abdomen and legs.
I can't get away…
I can't get away…
I can't get away… from him…
He cupped her face in his hands and placed her face to face with him. "Why are you crying, my sweet, my little lovely?" He then let his long tongue lick her tear soaked cheek. She shivered at the contact of his tongue on her cheek.
Pathetic.
She would just sit there and let him have his way with her, even if she wasn't moving.
She should at least move for him.
Move for me….
She pulled away from his arms slowly, and she stared at the floor. She was left with an irrevocable problem; Marik was the enemy.
He struck down Mai, leaving her in the dark pit of madness and despair.
He destroyed Joey, in the fiery hell he is now.
He defeated Yugi and his other half Yami in the god's trial bestowed by his fledge of demons.
He cruelly dispatched and killed her friends with a sinister grin that painted his face.
You're all alone…Right now, she shook in her naked and compromising state, ashamed and plagued that she couldn't do anything.
She couldn't do anything about the deaths of Joey and Mai; she couldn't do anything about the deaths of her friends were left without revenge.
She couldn't help the feeling that she was….
Attracted to Marik.
Unfamiliar.
If she did anything with him, she would be….
She knew.
Unforgivable.
His caresses were so inviting, his warmth over her skin….
Eve took the apple…It was comfort that she wanted.
Stability.
The things that she never had in life…
Before.
Memories…Bittersweet ones.
She would let him get rid of them.
Going wrong…'Till the mind can't ever say goodbye…Just do it and he won't hurt you…Just do it and he won't hurt you…Serenity hesitantly leaned in and caught his lips with her own. His tongue slid in her mouth, reveling in tasting her moist and sweet cavern. Her knees grew weak at that split second just before his strong arms wrapped around her little waist, her breasts pushed up against his chest. She felt unbearably warm all of the sudden, and she didn't have much control of the situation at hand.
It happened so fast.
Her shaky hands moved in to feel his muscular arms that entangled in his embrace. Indeed, he was attractive, since he had lovely violet eyes, the beguiling black muscle shirt he wore, the beige khaki pants outlining his well-developed legs and the flowing purple cape that complimented his appearance.
Intrigued, but rather uneasy, one of her arms led to the front of his chest, searching between their bodies to his hardened shaft. When she found the clothed member, she unconsciously stroked the bulge slowly, causing him to pull away from the kiss and let out a deep moan.
She felt her face grow hot with the action she just performed. She knew that there was no one else around there; in the secluded room he placed her in, so they wouldn't be disturbed.
Serenity looked down at the floor cautiously, shame filling her core at what she did. She had never done that before nor had she ever been kissed, so this was a new experience for her.
Marik smirked at the girl's hesitation. It was pure innocence and subdued beauty that entranced him to the girl; she would look as innocent as she was now even if she decide to corrupt and rob of that purity she sustained. He lightly lifted her face with a finger under her chin so she would look at him with the beautiful hazel eyes of hers.
"Don't be ashamed, my dear. You're only human and you have needs." He leaned in closer so that his lips brushed against hers. "Nonetheless, I have needs as well. Don't deny your fascination with me, little Serenity. You could either take this chance to let your desires be fulfilled or let them consume your very core. So what will it be? Take advantage of this opportunity or discard it?"
Hazel eyes widened.
She gazed at his lips for a brief moment; she had yet another overwhelming urge to kiss him again.
She just had to…
Serenity leaned in to kiss him softly, and with hesitance lay her hands on his chest, massaging the clothed muscled area gently. Feeling aroused, Marik's fingers scaled along her waist and slunk under to her breasts, stroking and caressing the curves. Serenity suddenly felt shame at the pleasure she was feeling. Breaking the kiss, she leaned back, her hair falling around her, her hips pressed onto his, aching for more.
No one had ever touched her like this before; never had she experienced these caresses…
Ever…
She let out a soft moan as his hands caressed her breasts, teasing her in a way that was incoherent.
"Aren't we anxious?" He whispered softly in her ear before kissing her neck. He lowered their bodies to the cold white floor, just before he straddled her hips and admiring her luscious breasts. Not too big and not too small, just the way he liked them. Before she realized what was happening, he grinded their hips together in a fast and steady pace, causing her to thrust her hips against his.
"You want me, don't you, little Serenity? Is this true?" He chuckled with a dark playfulness in his voice.
Her face was flushed, forgetting who he was and what he has done in the fateful events leading to this. She threaded her fingers into his spiky blonde hair as he looked down at her.
Marik leaned forward, his lips brushing against hers as he spoke, feeling her heavy breathing from his onslaught. "Do you want me?"
Her coherent thought gone, Serenity said only one thing: "Y-yes."
The serpent grinned…
She started to moan when his hands felt her breasts, naked as they were. He began kissing the nude flesh and licking at the undersides. Soon, his other hand slunk from her chest all the way to her womanhood by touch. Serenity gasped sharply as she felt his fingers caressing her clitoris, seeing that he identified it by feeling for a throbbing bump. His fingers slowly came down as placed them between the folds of her womanhood, scissoring them as two other fingers pinched her clit. The sensations rippled through her and her vision blurred whereas Marik began nipping and sucking on her nipples.
"Oh…. uhh…. Marik…Marik! Ah—" She panted and moaned as her hips thrusted against his. Before she knew it, she gasped sharply as a wave of pleasure came over her, her juices spilling onto his fingers.
Marik smiled at this, fully knowing that she enjoyed herself. He pulled out his fingers, which were glistening in her juices and licked them clean. After he was done, he licked his lips and crawled over to her. She herself was too dazed to see him pull her towards him, falling onto the floor with her on top. Serenity looked down at him with a startled look on her face; he only responded with sultry ink in his eyes, his lips curled into a smile.
Almost unconsciously, she unzipped his khaki pants and searched for his hardened cock, and when she felt something warm, long and rigid, she knew that she found it.
Groaning, Marik leaned back slightly, licking his lips as Serenity's hand held his cock. "Why…. thank you…." He whispered harshly.
Unfulfilled desire washed over her as she pulled out his member and lightly stroked the undersides, feeling him shiver under her touch, his hands gliding over her body slowly. She paused for a moment, and then wrapped her fingers around his member, stroking it a little faster. His grip on her hips grew tighter as he panted heavily, his eyes glazed over with pure lust. She let her other hand start massaging his groin area, which nearly set him over the edge, but this wasn't the time for that. He wanted to release, to have his seed inside of her, in her body, making the girl his for all time.
He gently placed a hand on her hand, ceasing the ministrations she had given him. He lifted himself up from the floor and reached out to stroke her as she looked at him with such curiosity. "You're doing well, little Serenity."
Serenity looked at the ground underneath her, hazel eyes betraying the veil of someone obedient and willing, endless doubt clouding her mind.
This isn't right…
What are you doing?
Are you sure?
There must be some other way!
Liar.
Have you no shame you whore!
You little slut.
Liar…
What have you done to me?
A finger tucked itself under her chin, dispersing the malicious whispers in her head as it lifted her face towards his eyes.
"And that should worry you?"
It was almost as if he had read her mind before he moved closer and slowly ran his tongue along the outside of her ear, relishing her shivers. He then placed a small kiss just below her ear as she nearly jumped from his touch, almost without noticing. He moved downward to her breasts and began kissing her nipples.
"Do not fear me, sweet Serenity." He murmured as his mouth traveled over her skin. Unconsciously, she moved her hands from his groin area to his back as he massaged her hips. She held back a moan of pleasure as he kissed his way up between her breasts and licked/nipped gently from one to the other. Serenity gasped, arching her back as his tongue moved all over her chest, causing her to moan loudly when he sucked on her breasts and bite the flesh between them.
He wasn't satisfied with his work just yet.
Marik lowered his hands to spread her legs, as he clutched her back before he slipped a hand between her legs, rubbing against the sensitive flesh that was there. Serenity gasped at the feeling, which was so good and so wonderful that all she could do was buck her hips into the touch. Pleased by the response he received, he sped up the movements and leaned forward to bury his tongue into the girl's mouth, with her beginning to thrust her hips in rhythm of the rubbing.
When he felt her shaking violently, her release approaching, he pulled away and withdrew her hand. Breathing heavily, Serenity stared at Marik with glistening eyes. What was going to happen now? Only then she realized her position: she was naked while he was clothed, like a concubine before her master. She shivered internally at the analogy, hoping that it wasn't like that. Her attention was soon directed to her 'master' as she heard him chuckle inwardly to himself.
He lifted his gaze and a fox-like grin spread across his face. Serenity grew frightened, and she suddenly felt ill with dread.
Red…
"I must say I'm impressed, my sweet Serenity. You've learned so much and you've finally accepted this. I won't take you by force, my dear. However, it wouldn't be fair for me not to thank you for your willingness, pretty one." He chuckled lowly. "No matter, perhaps you'll enjoy it."
I want to have him…
I can't…
He killed…
Red…
Have you no shame you whore?!
Fear…
Confusion…
Joey…
I can't…
Red…
But…I want him…
Kiss me…
You enjoyed it…
You want him…
To fill the emptiness …
Your own fantasies with darkness…
Yugi…
Hidden lust
Forbidden…
Marik…
Forbidden…
FORBIDDEN!!
Have you no shame you whore?!
One of his arms snaked around her waist, pulling her towards him and another strong arm slid behind her knees. His long arm kept her in balance, feeling her hands involuntarily thread through his spiked hair. Before she could say anything, she gasped and bucked her hips sharply as she felt the warmth of his tongue poke inside her. She moaned, her juices percolating as she felt him tasting the folds of her glistening treasure. She bucked her hips again as his tongue roamed inside her, feeling an unfamiliar pressure building.
Waiting to claim her…
Wanting to give her…
Unadulterated longing….
"Marik… Oh my god… Marik… Oh god… oh god… … oh my god… I…I…-- AH!" She gasped sharply, a white light blinding her as the shocks of what she was waiting for came finally.
Finally…
White light…
So beautiful…
Everything…
Satisfied with the girl's pleasure, Marik gently laid Serenity, whom was panting heavily, down on the white floor. Hazel eyes glazed at the floor as he stripped himself of his cape, black muscle shirt, pants and shoes before he straddled her hips once again. Serenity felt something jab at her sensitive flesh and looked up, her eyes widening in fear, her face strawberry red.
He was bare of his clothes, revealing his nicely sculpted and muscled torso, and his muscular arms at his sides, with the golden bands around his biceps shimmering. She momentarily looked down at his erect member, licking her lips unconsciously in expectation. She looked up at him once again when she heard him laugh quietly in amusement.
"Anxious, are we? Like I said, I won't take you by force. You will have to tell me if you want it, pretty Serenity."
Leaning over just a little bit, Marik kissed Serenity once more. Amidst this, he let one hand wander in the valley of her breasts, caressing them downward and back up again. She pursed her lips as if she didn't want to plead to him anymore, but she inwardly thought that he was just going to take her then and there. This was a surprise to her, unless if he was telling her to return the favor.
Return the favor…
Serenity lifted herself up from the floor, confused yet certain of the true purpose of his ministrations. This in turn surprised Marik, but he was pleased that she understood him. He still had a smirk on his face whereas he spread his legs, exposing his scrotum and erect member to her. She felt her face turn pink, being that she had never seen a man's genitalia before, but a sense of wanting grew inside of her.
"Before we have ourselves become one, you would have to show me that you're ready. Since I've pleasured you, well…only fair to return the favor, isn't it?" He replied with an almost seductive tone in his deep voice.
Pulse quickening.
Cheeks aflame.
NO!!
She wouldn't do it; she would never degrade herself by pleasuring him. Then again – what would he do if she didn't? The deepest depths of darkness were amongst them now, with everyone gone from her, stolen from her, and he is the chief demon there. She had succumbed to him, but he never claimed her.
She didn't want to do it; she didn't want to betray Joey, her only brother.
So…
To see them again one day…in death…
I don't hate you, Marik…
But I don't love you…
I do…
She gulped, closed her eyes and moved forward to slink her legs from under him, curl them underneath her, for this to be more comfortable, and she placed her hands on his chest, feeling him shiver. The pads on her fingertips felt the muscles on his chest, slowly, almost agonizingly slow, towards his groin area. But she knew he couldn't wait any longer, didn't want to, and taking a deep breath, as eagerly as she could, she took Marik's sex into her mouth.
Almost immediately, he shuddered, almost falling on her, but she felt him try to sustain himself. It was strange and unnatural to her to feel him inside her mouth; her hands shook as she held his hips in place. This was it, though. As his heavy breathing almost urged her, Serenity began to suck, timidly and in silent unease, before she ran her tongue down the length of it, curving around the base. Drawing away so she could breath and not suffocate, she felt immediate shame and regret, but she knew that she had no choice but to please him –
Whatever he wanted, she would do it.
Groaning, Marik rolled his hips into her incredible mouth, reveling in the glorious sensations. Her small hand and wet mouth stroking him in opposite directions, her tongue laving the bottom of his throbbing member, her nails scraping lightly against his sensitive skin... it was simply too much. For an innocent girl, she was certainly a fast learner.
It wasn't long before Serenity felt something hot and odd tasting hit the back of her throat and nearly gagged. Though she tried her hardest to withdraw, his hand suddenly held her in place as the salty and bitter liquid fled into her mouth.
Moments later, once he ceased releasing into her mouth, his hand untangled itself from her auburn locks. She immediately fell to her hands and knees, spitting the bizarre fluid out. Unable to get every drop of it out, she was forced to swallow some, grimacing at the foreign taste.
Inhaling deeply, Marik looked down to his little Serenity, shivering on hands and knees, her breathing still heavy.
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.
She felt his eyes over her, and her hands were itching to cross over her body, to cover herself. She wanted to, but…
She couldn't.
She turned her back to him without even realizing it, and he decided to take advantage of that. He moved over to her, letting his hands rest on her shoulders. She tensed, but she was unable to do anything else at the time.
Unable to suppress a small grin, he lowered his face down to her neck, his mouth hovering over her ear. "Thank you, Serenity. That…was exquisite." She tensed once again. "I want you to remember this day, the day we finally become one in our world, my dear." He lowered his hands just slightly unto her arms and his lips danced lightly on the skin of her neck.
She gasped, unable to pull away.
His form was solid against her body with his arms slowly wrapping her in a strangling embrace. She felt his member from behind, almost provoking her; he was big, dark, and hard. Frightening, yet the blackness, the darkness, and the nothingness were almost comforting.
You mustn't…
I don't know…
Why?
You must!
Let him...
I can't!!
Why are you screaming?!
You little slut.
Have you no shame?
But I…You filthy whore!!
He sighed, and Serenity felt the heat of his breath as it passed over her neck, shuddering inwardly.
Marik grinned. She wanted him.
"So…my little Serenity…."
He paused, taking amusement out of seeing his lovely squirm.
"Do you want me?"
No answer.
How could she answer?
Frozen…
Cruel seduction…
Just go away…. just go away…
Lust.
Take me now.
He has me…. too open…
Who ever said we were lovers?!
Just one kiss…
Take me…
In the dark…
Take me!
Take me!
I want…
I…
Silken…
"Yes."
A maniacal grin slithered onto his face; this was what he has waited for, and the beautiful music would fill the room in a matter of time.
"Well then…the fantasy will come alive soon." Marik pulled Serenity in the embrace once again before his tongue snaked out and slid over her neck seductively.
Her heart plummeted.
She was in a delirious heat in this place, in that moment, where she wanted him to take her, where no one would interrupt them. No matter what the malicious voices were telling her, she craved for him.
Serenity spun around in Marik's arms, seeing her tormentor's eyes darken and widen in maniacal glee, and pressed her lips onto his.
If you are so frequently in love
If you prefer it all to me
then my love
You go down the longest road to nowhere
You pull it apart
and you're just left there
And then you stop…stop…stop…
Cause you feel
(Did you see how good we'd be)
So alone
(When you open up to me)
Not alone

A/N: Hello again. I know it's been a while since I got the last chapter out, but I have a very good reason for this. I've been busy and I'm going to enter my senior year soon. I started writing this chapter two weeks ago, but unfortunately, a family friend passed away and we had to mourn for the loss. After a while, I left this on a cliffhanger to give you an idea of what is to come for the next chapter.
P.S. The songs I've listened to have really helped me with the chapter, so I've decided to show the soundtrack that formed the soundscape of the story.
