Fates Encountered (Yugioh story)
Chapter 4
That night…
"How did she do it?" Marik asked Bakura, who sat on the couch, glaring at a tv screen. "How the bloody Hell should I know?" He turned his glare to the Egyptian. "Can't say I'm not glad to be out of the Shadow Realm, though. I'll give her that much credit. As for why, I have no clue." Marik sighed and took a seat at the dinning table. Their dorm was small enough to fit the kitchen and lounge area together but big enough for two bedrooms and a possible guest room/office. "What did Cara tell you?" Marik asked. Bakura sat silently before answering. "She asked me if I knew of a way to make an invisible world re-appear…" Marik blinked, confused. "….What?.." Bakura chuckled. "That's what I said too." A sudden knock came to the door, interrupting their talk. "I'll get it." Marik said, getting up from the table.
He opened the front door, reveiling Jewel, dressed in a silk robe, hiding her pajamas and her legs, and Cara, also dressed in a robe to hide her nightgown. Cara's robe extended over her neckline, as if to hide something. Marik smirked. "I didn't think you'd really come over wearing that." He fought back a laugh. Cara frowned. "It was her idea. Didn't want to give someone the 'wrong idea', apparently." Jewel blushed, looking away. "Not my fault he said he's got a bad side. You remember how Gail broke into my room last month and stole my lingerie?" This made the Egyptian blush madly at the thought. Jewel looked at him and laughed. "You really thought I wear lingerie? Hehehe!" Cara sweat dropped and walked in, stopping to see Bakura glaring at her on the couch. She sighed with a smile and relaxed. "Happy to see me, thief?"
Bakura responded with a "Tch". Cara chuckled lightly and sat on the other end of the couch. Jewel followed Marik inside after he closed the front door and locked it. She followed him into the living room and sat on the floor as he took the recliner. "So, where should we begin?" Marik asked his roommate. "How about we start with you telling us who the bloody Hell you are?" Bakura asked the two guests. Jewel frowned and looked at Cara. "This is the thief you told me about? I don't see anything special about him…" Bakura glared at the girl. "Say that again, wench." "Bakura, she's just teasing you." Cara answered and looked to her roommate. "Jewel, don't play with him, he's obviously in a bad mood." Jewel crossed her arms. "When is he not?" Another glare from the thief.
Cara sighed before finally answering Bakura's question. "We are who we said we are. I'm Cara Foyer and she's Jewel La Rinte Ra." Bakura didn't seem pleased as Marik just seemed even more confused. "My sister mentioned something about the La Rinte family. That they are blood lines of Ra?" Jewel nodded. "Yup." "She also said that the family made the original Millennium Items.." Jewel shook her head. "Just the Rod. And it wasn't the family. Just one person." Marik took a deep breath. "Who?" Jewel smiled. "I can't tell." Instantly Marik groaned with frustration. Bakura was also getting tired of the waste of time. "What can you tell us?"
Jewel and Cara looked at each other then nodded. Cara answered, "We sent the Millennium Items to you for your protection, that much is true. Have you not noticed that neither has been activated? It's both of your choices whether to use them or not. Jewel and I will instantly know if you use them. Just as we know you've used them in the past." Jewel frowned at Marik. "….Cara, they also used the Shadow Realm as well…" Cara also frowned. "I know…We see it through you two. Can you tell us why you used the Items and the Realm?" Both males were silent. The two girls shook their heads, adding to the silence. "We'll leave that for another day, then." Cara said.
"If the Items aren't activated then how the bloody Hell did you drag me here? I've been in the Shadow Realm." Bakura growled at the girl on the end of the couch. Cara smiled innocently. "Simple. I have the ability to reach into the Realm and take what I desire. It's not hard to dig into the Shadow's, Bakura." Bakura grunted and turned away, pissed. Marik looked at the two girls and frowned. "…You said there was an enemy?" This got both of the girl's attention. "We can't speak of that." They both said. "Why not?" Marik asked. "They're watching us. That's why we've been scattered throughout the world. We can't let them find us. It's their fault we're here." Jewel said, bringing her legs up to her chin, looking sad. "Although, I am glad to be here." Cara nodded with Jewel's comment. Cara looked at the two boy's and smiled. "Don't worry. We're not your enemies. And we're not enemies of Yugi and his friends in Japan."
Bakura grunted once more as Marik released a sigh of relief. "What about Gail?" Bakura asked. "Gail is our problem, don't bother him. And do not use the Item's on him. Jewel and I suspect him to be one of our enemies. We'll deal with him." Cara answered. "How?" Marik asked, confused. "We can use the powers of the Rod and Ring without the items being activated." Jewel said simply. "Jewel, I warned you not to tell them!" Jewel merely shrugged at her roommate's aggressive tone. Marik crossed his arms and looked at Jewel. "So it was you who used a mind control on Gail and his goons last night and during class today?" Cara looked at the said girl. "You did it again?" Jewel sighed. "Lecture lecture, you know what, Cara? You sound more and more like my brothers everyday. No wonder I'm the only girl in my family." She pouted.
Cara frowned. "I found some more information on the towers, Jewel." Jewel blinked and crossed her legs, listening. "Have you told Zale?" Cara shook her head. "Don't leave us out. What are you talking about?" Bakura ordered. "…" Cara sighed and nodded. "You saw the North and South towers when you arrived, right? They don't release smoke into the air and they are always locked. There's no doors to get inside either." Jewel nodded and continued for Cara. "We've seen Gail and his gang hanging around them both lately. We have been told by Zale that there's four of them on the Japanese campus your friends go to."
Marik and Bakura looked at each other, a little shocked. "So, there's more than one problem like Gail?" Bakura asked. Both girls nodded. Finally, he relaxed and sighed. "Alright. I get it. Now.." He turned his attention back to Cara. "What the Hell were you talking about in the alley?"
Cara frowned. "I can't tell you much, but I just wanted to know if you knew anything." Marik watched Bakura glare at the girl. "Is the Earth in danger?" Jewel blinked, confused, and shared a look with her roommate. "We…don't know. Never thought of that as an option." Jewel replied. "If it's become as bad as that, we'll have no choice but to use the Millenium Items….All of them." Cara frowned. Both males were silent, deep in thought. "….So becoming allies with us will hopefully help you out?" Bakura asked. Cara smiled and nodded. "See? You have a good side to you, thief." She replied, making Bakura grunt and look away with a hint of red on his cheeks. Jewel smiled a bit and looked at Marik. "So….you don't hate us for hiding this?" Marik shrugged. "Well, I know you're not our enemies and you don't have anything against my other friends. So, I'm okay with it." Hearing this made Jewel sigh with relief.
"What now? Did you really want us to stay the night?" Cara asked, stretching a bit. Bakura smirked. "Scared we'll take advantage of you?" Cara glared at him. "I can take you." She threatened. She and the male sat on the couch, having their own glaring contest. Marik and Jewel watched them in silence until Jewel started laughing. "Cara, you're so right! He does get mad easily! I never thought Ryou had such a side! Hahaha!" Cara sweat dropped and rolled her eyes. "You have a point there, but Ryou was a lot nicer…and cuter." Cara mumbled the last part. Unfortunately, Bakura still heard and growled at the woman. "That's it!" He shouted, jumping up from the couch, along with Cara, and ran after her as she ran away, smiling.
Jewel blinked and giggled. "Where'd they go?" She asked Marik. "….He…chased her…into his room…." Click. "….Did he just?…" Marik asked to no one in particular. Jewel's giggles increased. "Sorry, Marik, but I think it's Cara who locked them in." Finally, Marik started to laugh with her. "Sorry for scaring you at lunch." Jewel looked up at him and smiled. "You didn't. But, I bet the manager hates you now. By the way, that was never my great idea for a first date." She winked, causing him to smile back at her. "How about best two out of three?" Jewel grinned. "Marik, are you asking me on another date?" He replied with his own grin.
