(Marik's POV)

It was dark and I was all alone. I looked around. I was... home? Back in the tomb... back in Egypt. I walked around, wondering if Ishizu, Rashid or even Melvin were around.

The tomb was empty and lonely. I sank to the ground and hugged my knees. I was truly alone.

"...Marik?" came a quiet, strained voice. I turned my head to see Ishizu leaning against one of the tomb walls, bleeding. My eyes widened.

"Onee-chan? What- what happened? Who did this?" I asked, tears filling my eyes. I already knew who.

"You already know..." she replied, giving me a sad smile and then, closing her eyes.

"Onee-chan..." I whispered, voice filled with sorrow. He had killed her. He had killed his own daughter. I felt millions of feelings well up inside me; pain, hatred, anger, fear, remorse...

"Marik."

I froze at the sound. It was him. I could recognise his voice anywhere.

I stared at my older sister, at her blood on the ground. How dare he? How could he do such a heartless thing? I turned my head and glared at the foul murderer behind me, the very man who killed my kind, harmless sister. My father.

"Why? Why did you do it?" I shouted at him, the hatred bubbling up inside of me.

"You left. You're not allowed to leave," he replied, simply. I froze. He did this because we left? I let the tears roll down my face. This is all my fault... Onee-chan is dead because of me. I'm the one who wanted to leave, I'm the one who wanted to see the village.

"I must kill you as well now, Marik. I did tell you that you mustn't ever leave."

He walked over to me, expressionlessly. He didn't care he was killing his children. I didn't stop him. I just watched as he lifted a knife up and plunged it into my chest.

I was drifting in and out of consciousness. Father was no longer there. Instead, all I could see was my older brothers, Rishid and Melvin.

"Marik," they said.

I closed my eyes.

"MARIK!"


When I opened my eyes again, my white-haired roommate was staring at me.

"Bakura?" I said, "where's Rishid? And Melvin?"

I sat up and started looking around. I was no longer in the tomb, I was in my bedroom.

"Marik, you were dreaming," Bakura muttered, looking like he was trying to suppress a chuckle.

"Wha- So... that didn't happen? Father didn't- Onee-chan's okay?" I said, mostly to myself whilst Bakura looked bewildered. This is the last time I watch a horror movie before bed! Heh, at least I didn't say that out loud, if Bakura found out I was scared, I would never here the end of it.

"Anyway, it's morning now, so you might as well get up."

"Okay. WAIT!"

"What is it, Marik?"

"Why did you come in my room?"

"You were screaming..."

"Oh, so, you were worried?" I said, raising an eyebrow.

"No. I wanted to come and shut you up," Bakura replied, looking down, trying to hide his still visible cheeks.

"Aww, Fluffy, were you concerned about your ickle woommate?"

"Shut up, Marik," Bakura mumbled, shoving me. I smiled, happily. For once, it seemed like I had the upper hand. He's been so easy to tease recently... Maybe he likes me?

(Bakura's POV)

I'm acting gayer than Melvin, Ryou and Marik put together at the moment. I know I'm just doing all of this to make Marik realise that he himself is gay but it just seems to be making me look gay. Why is the bloody wanker still denying it? He definitely likes me.

"Hey, Marik, do you want to hang out with Melvin and Ryou today?" I asked, trying to sound uncaring.

"Sure, as long as I'm with you, honey," he teased and winked at me. I rolled my eyes.

"Don't flirt with me, Marik. I might just have to pounce on you in a second," I teased back, returning the wink. His eyes widened and his face flushed. Heh, my new plan: 'Make him think you like him' is going well already. I smirked at him. I edged closer and he backed up causing me to crack up with laughter.

"Okay, I'll call Ryou," I said, grinning.
