Cherry: HELLO!

Onyx: Let's do this!

Ryou: Last chapter we found out The Black Rose is the daughter of Bastet!(Goddess of cats! YEAH! )

Ame: No we have a question: What is the Black Rose's motive for destroying me and Ryou?

Onyx: we do NOT own YUGIOH!

All: ON WITH THE FIC!

Chapter 6: WHAT? Marik knows her?

Ryou was bothered for next few days. What was her motive for killing me and Ame? He thought. He sighed. I need to stop worrying. Nothing bad is going to happen… he told himself. But no matter hwo many times he said that, he knew it wasn't true.

School was uneventful, as usual. Ryou walked into his apartment and saw he had a voicemail left for him. It was an unknown number. He pressed the button and heard a voice he hoped he would never hear again.

"Hey Ryou! It's me, Marik!"

Ryou was about to press the 'delete' button when Marik said, "Don't you dare press that delete button!" Ryou jerked his hand back. "Anyway, Odion, Ishizu and I are coming to Domino for a PERMANENT transfer!" Ryou's eyes widened. "WHAT?" He shouted.

"I need to talk to you about something, though. Meet me at down town square around six. Later!" The message ended. Ryou groaned loudly. "Aw man! Now Night and I can't go to the arcade!"

At six…

Ryou walked to downtown square, a blank look on his face. He saw a platinum haired teenager looking out into space when he reached his destination. He smiled and waved." Hey Marik!" he shouted. Marik looked in his direction and smiled back.

"Hey Ryou!" he said running to his friend. Marik's smile faded and sighed. "Ryou, we need to talk." He said. Ryou stopped smiling and walked along his friend's side. "Ryou, have you read the news lately?" He asked. Ryou shook his head.

Marik sighed. "Well, there has been several reports about attacks throughout the city by someone called the Black Rose." He said. Ryou's breathe hitched in his throat. Marik kept going on. "And I know who it is." He said.

Ryou's eyes widened. "Who?" He asked, grabbing his friend's shoulders. Marik looked shocked. "What is it? Do you KNOW the Black Rose?" he asked. Ryou sighed. "Marik, I have something to tell you." He said.

After explaining…

Marik was shocked. "So wait. She's the daughter of Bastet?" he asked. Ryou nodded. Marik sighed. "My turn for explaining, isn't it?" he asked. Ryou nodded. Marik sighed. "Her name is Nieme. And she was one of my Rare Hunters." He said.

You could literally hear his jaw hit the ground in shock. "WHAT?" He shouted. Marik winced slightly. "Okay, loud." He said rubbing his ear. Ryou took a deep breath. "Sorry. I'm just shocked. Did you know about her powers?" He asked. Marik's eyes widened. "You know? Did she use them on you?" he asked in a hushed whisper.

"Let's just say, thanks to her I need a chiropractor." Ryou said. Marik sighed. "Here's the story…"

Flashback

Marik was sitting in his usual seat at the hideout, holding his Millennium Rod. Six figures appeared below him and bowed. New recruits. Marik stood and inspected each and everyone of them. None seemed out of place. Except, one that is.

Black locks spilled from the cloak's hood, catching his attention. Marik walked to the figure and pulled back the hood. It was a teenage girl. She had a mask on her face revealing her lips, but hiding her eyes from him. Did he dare take off her mask? His hand slowly went to touch it when she said, "Touch it, you die."

Marik didn't listen and proceeded to take off the mask. She grabbed his hand twisted it. "I thought I said, touch it , you die?" She hissed. She let go of his hand and pulled him by the collar. "Understand?" She hissed in his ear. Marik was frozen.

She was making a mockery in front his new recruits! How dare she? Marik was PISSED right then and there. She let go and walked off. "So am I hired?" She asked at the door.

Later on…

Marik and the rest of hunters called the girl "The Black Rose" after she arrived. One day, TBR went to Marik's room for a report. She knocked on the door and Marik opened it. "Yes?" he asked. "Master Marik, we have located Slifer the Sky Dragon." She said. Marik smirked. "Excellent. You may go." He said. She was about to walk away, but slipped.

Marik caught her before she landed on the ground. It was then TBR looked Marik in the eye though her mask. She slowly leaned foward, and not thinking kissed him. She was shocked to see he was actually kissing her back.

The two wrapped their arms around each other, and she ran her fingers through his hair. Marik's hand slowly went to her mask but he hesitated. She put her hand on his and moved it towards her mask. He obeyed and pulled her mask off.

He didn't even have to look at her to know she was beautiful. He held her closer and ran his hands down her back. (I am sorry if this is a little sappy or weird for some of you…) "Master Marik, I cam e to tell you- OH DEAR RA!" Said a voice.

The two turned their heads to see none other than Odion standing there with a shocked look on his face. He slowly backed away, a sweat drop on his head. "I'm just going to leave…" he said before walking out the room.

Nieme started to giggle, making Marik smile.
