Hello. Yay! I finished another chapter! Haha. :D
Because I realised it might be confusing to know who is who because I use some of the Japanese names for characters and some of the English names for characters, I'll explain who is who.

Yugi Moto is of course, Yugi Moto.
Marik Ishtar is Hikari Marik Ishtar.
BakuraTouzoku is Yami Ryou Bakura.
Ryou Touzoku is Ryo Bakura.
Melvin Ishtar is Yami Marik Ishtar.
Yami is Yami Yugi Moto.
Ishizu Ishtar is Isis Ishtar.
Rishid Ishtar is Odion Ishtar.
Joey Wheeler is Katsuya Jounouchi. (sorry about the spelling there... that's the main reason I use his English name)
Tristan Taylor is Hiroto Honda.
Ryuji Otogi is Duke Devlin.
Seto Kaiba is Seto Kaiba (bet you didn't see that one coming...)

Moving on with the story. Here's Marik-San's Party:Part 2.
I don't own YuGiOh or the characters. Enjoy~

(Marik's POV)

Everyone handed me presents as Melvin opened some beers. Alcohol? We have alcohol? Ryou actually allowed Melvin to buy alcohol for this party. I noticed how Ryou glanced at the alcohol disapprovingly and let out a little sigh. Melvin must have begged for ages... Bakura told me how Ryou hated drinking. I'm not the biggest fan of it myself. I watched Bakura whose eyes had lit up at the sight of the beers. I raised an eyebrow. It looks like Bakura's a fan... oh, and Otogi too. Otogi was grinning at the cans. I rolled my eyes. I can see this ending badly. The gifts next to me were so neatly wrapped and I felt my eyes well up. This is what it's like to have friends? This is the best. After everyone, except Bakura had handed me there gifts, I looked up at Bakura who looked at me back. I pouted. I didn't want to come across as greedy, but this was the first year I'd had presents that weren't a poisonous snake that wanted to kill me and watching Rishid be whipped for trying to kill the demonic snake while it tried to kill me. Also, Bakura's gifts were the gifts I was most looking forward to. Bakura sighed at my pout.

"I haven't wrapped it up... I was going to give it to you after you opened everyone else's..." he mumbled. It? I thought he said presents? Maybe I misheard him...

(Bakura's POV)

Shit, Marik looks confused. I just said 'it' instead of 'them'... I don't even know what the other thing is yet, Marik. Oh well, I'll distract him by giving him the first present.

"Alright, here," I said as I handed it to him.

(Marik's POV)

Eyeliner? This is eyeliner. I examined it. Woah! Oh my Ra! This is that ridiculously expensive eyeliner! How in the name of Ra did Bakura afford this? How did he know this was the eyeliner that I really wanted? I never bothered saving for it because it would take so long. Oh... did he steal it? Either way, I really, really love it!

"Bakura, how did you afford that?" Ryou said looking horrified, "have you been stealing again?" His voice sounds more squeaky than usual...

Bakura shook his head. "No. I took out a loan. I'll pay it back when Marik gets me a job."

No way that a job at the museum would be able to pay that back! It would take years! Surely Bakura knows this; he's not that dumb with money. I'll need to talk to him later. He winked at me. Wait, was he lying to Ryou? To keep Ryou calm? Ryou probably doesn't know how much this stuff costs so he might actually believe Bakura... Man, Bakura's good. Wait, Melvin knows how much this costs, right? I shot a small glance at Melvin. He stared at the eyeliner curiously but then took a large gulp of beer. I don't think he'll rat Bakura out to Ryou. He doesn't want Ryou freaking out, and he doesn't seem to care that much. The only other person I can imagine knowing how costly this stuff is is Anzu but I don't think she wants to get involved in this. She's smart enough to realise that it'll freak Ryou out and probably cause an argument. As I thought this, I did notice her staring at the eyeliner with a slightly envious expression on her face.

"Thanks, Bakura. I love it," I said breathlessly. I still couldn't believe he'd gone through so much trouble just to get this from me.

"You're welcome," he said, leaning across me to grab a beer. I felt butterflies as he did so. His body heat was radiating off of him and he smelled bittersweet. I breathed his smell in. As he returned to his normal sitting position he whispered "I'll tell you how I stole it when we're alone... I don't need any of this lot getting me into trouble and I really don't want to give Ryou a panic attack." It's weird seeing how fragile Ryou is in comparison to his twin. Bakura gulped the beer and lazily passed me one of my presents. It was from Anzu.

Anzu had bought me some chocolates. I'll probably have to give Bakura some of these, I don't want to put on too much weight...

Melvin, whose present had been wrapped by Ryou, had bought me jewellery polish which went well with Ryou's present, which was a jewellery polishing machine. It was obvious that they had either bought the gifts together or Ryou had bought both of the gifts.

Tristan, who I barely knew, had bought me a webcam and had said "It was the whole group's idea. Now we can Skype together." I smiled. Mhm, maybe. Bakura laughed at this and I shot him a glare. Just because you don't get along with them, doesn't mean that I don't either. They're nice.

Joey gave me some Duel Monster cards. This was some sort of fad at our school. Everyone played Duel Monsters. I'll get Bakura to explain the rules to me some time.

Seto Kaiba had bought me a Wii. I stared at it. A Wii? To a person that you barely know? Seriously... this guy is that rich! Everyone else's jaw dropped too and when I finally built myself up to thank the very generous Kaiba, it came out stuttered. He had just shrugged.

Yami gave me some books on ancient Egyptian artefacts. As if I'm clueless about my heritage. HELLO, YAMI, I'M FROM EGYPT! I don't particularly want to be reminded of my past in Egypt either but I suppose Yami doesn't know that. Melvin looked at the book and I honestly thought he was going to throw up. If there's anyone who hated our life in Egypt more than me, it's Melvin. I think that must be the source of his anger and insanity... Then again, he might just be sick because he's on his third beer already!

Yugi gave me the box set of my favourite Soap Opera. Wow. He actually remembered me talking about that... That guy has a weirdly good memory.

Otogi's present was the last one. I opened Otogi's present and my eyes widened. He had given me a pair of beautiful golden earrings. These are perfect. So beautiful. Is it real gold? They must have cost a fortune. I saw Bakura's fist clench as he looked at them. He looked kind of angry.

"Wow, Otogi-san, you shouldn't have..." I whispered, admiring the earrings, "are they real gold? They must have been so expensive..."

"Yeah, they're real-" Otogi began speaking but was distracted by Bakura grabbing one of the earrings and... licking it... He just licked it... licked my earring... why? What the-?

"They're fake," Bakura said happily, giving me back the earring. Ew. It's got Bakura spit on it... Everyone stared at him with raised eyebrows. He shrugged. "I know what real gold tastes like."

"It doesn't matter if it's real or not, 'Kura, it's the thought that counts. Otogi-san, they're beautiful, thank you so much."

"It's no problem, Marik," he said, winking at me. I felt heat rise to my cheeks. Bakura muttered something incomprehensible under his breath and then took a huge swig of beer. What is wrong with him today?

I smiled at everyone and said, "What shall we do now then, guys?"

"I know! Truth or Dare!" Anzu said happily. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Okay, okay! Me first! Anzu, truth or dare?" I asked.

"Um... Dare!" She replied.

I chucked a beer at her. Thankfully she caught it. "I dare you to down this."

She fulfilled her dare surprisingly gracefully for someone who was downing a can of beer. When she finished she put the can gently onto the floor and let out a sigh. We all applauded. I even saw Melvin smile at her approvingly. She did a mock bow and then turned to Joey.

"Joey! Truth or dare?"

"Nyeh, me? Dare."

"Okay, Joey, I dare you to kiss the person on your right!"

Joey glanced to his right. Joey has to kiss Kaiba? Wow, Anzu... I noticed Joey's cheeks turn slightly pink. No way. Joey Wheeler is blushing. This is priceless. I felt Bakura shaking with laughter next to me. Aw, does Joey have a thing for Kaiba? That is hilarious and kind of cute I suppose.

"I don't really want to be kissed by a stinking mutt," Kaiba muttered. Joey looked down, embarrassed.

"He has to do it. He said dare, that's the rules," Anzu said matter-of-factly, "by the way, Joey. When I say 'kiss him', I mean on the lips." Joey looked up at her, eyes wide and cheeks bright red. Kaiba glared at Anzu.

"Screw the rules, I have money!" He said seriously.

"Just kiss," Melvin said boredly. Everyone except Kaiba and Joey nodded in agreement. Kaiba sighed but didn't say anything else. He turned to face Joey.

"Fine, do it. But if you get too intimate or use tongue, I swear I will hire some to cut off your tongue and-"

Joey's lips reached Kaiba's. We all leant forward to watch curiously. Joey's eyes were closed whilst Kaiba's eyes were wide open. It wasn't really a proper kiss, Kaiba didn't kiss back but I don't think it was because he didn't want to, I think it was because he didn't know what to do. I mentally counted how long they kissed for. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Joey pulled away and left Kaiba frozen with a shocked expression on his face.

"That shut him up," Joey said, calmly as if nothing had happened. One of the great things about Joey, his care-free and laid-back attitude on everything. Sure he was shocked and embarrassed about the dare but he didn't and now he's fine...

"Heh, I bet that was Kaiba's first kiss," I muttered. Everyone laughed. Kaiba snapped back to reality.

"No, it wasn't!" He snapped.

"Yeah, it was," I retorted. To be fair, I don't know if it wasn't his first kiss or if it was his first kiss but his reaction definitely made me believe it was the latter.

"Well, I bet you haven't even had your first kiss yet," he replied. I froze. Oh no. How did he know?

Everyone else went 'ooooh' and looked at me.I shrugged. I'm not going to lie to them. I don't even care...

"I'm waiting for the right person," I stated. Bakura burst out laughing.

"Great excuse, Marik, great excuse."

"Shut up, Fluffy!"

"Please don't start with that stupid nickname again! I am not fluffy!"

"Your hair begs to differ!"

"Marik, don't you dare touch my hair!"

"But, 'Kura! It's so fluffy and it's my birthday!"

"No, it's your birthday party!"

"Details, details! We're celebrating my birth, aren't we?"

"Yes, so let's touch your hair instead!"

"NO! You'll mess it up," I squealed. I suddenly noticed how everyone was laughing at us. My cheeks flushed red. Bakura cracked up laughing but his laughter soon stopped.

"You know, Marik, I wouldn't mind being your first kiss," Otogi said. Bakura looked up at him. I felt my cheeks go even darker. Does Otogi-san really like me? I thought he was just play flirting with me... I almost accepted Otogi's offer when Bakura said "no."

"Why not, 'Kura?" Otogi said nonchalantly.

"Don't call me that. Bloody hell! You're so annoying! I already told you not to call me that!" Otogi shrugged. "Also, stop with that bloody attitude, it makes me want to punch someone, preferably you! And you want to know why Marik shouldn't waste first kiss on you? Because I've seen you date almost every single girl, and sometimes the occasional dude, in school and every single time you've just broken their hearts! I'd rather you didn't do the same to Marik."

"Oh, and you think you're so much better! Our attitudes are the same, idiot! That's why you don't like me, because I'm just like you and you like to think you're so different to everyone else, you like to avoid company. I'm the same except I actually let people into my life. You only let Marik in because Ryou made you move out! And how do you know that I don't really like Marik? Maybe I want it to work out between us! Maybe he's the person whose heart that I don't break. Ever think of that, 'Kura? And what's wrong with me calling you 'Kura'? It's just your fucking nickname. You don't get to decide who Marik shares his first kiss with, Marik gets to decide. I was just offering because I like him and I thought that maybe he might like me back! You probably thought you'd be able to get Marik to waste his first kiss on you. You're just as bad as me, I've seen you got on dates with tons of girls and then just dump them. You're as much of a heartbreaker as I am."

Bakura didn't reply, he just looked down at the floor. I looked around the room, Ryou looked lost and upset. Melvin looked confused and disappointed. He probably wanted to watch a fist fight. Anzu and Yugi were holding hands and looking confused to what had just happened. Joey and Tristan seemed unbothered by the whole argument. Seto Kaiba on the other hand looked apprehensive and was probably wondering whether it was his fault by bringing up my first kiss. Otogi had a calm expression. He's a closed book to me and I'm curious to open him but there's another book that I'd much rather read.

"Otogi-san, thanks for the offer but I don't think we'd work out," I said. Otogi didn't look too disappointed though. He just half smiled at me and stood up, seeming ready to leave. He spoke, voice bored. Why do I always here music when he speaks...?

"Okay, Marik. If one day you realise your mistake, I'll be waiting for you. Thanks for the invite, Ryou and I hope you enjoyed your party, Marik. I best be going now, I've got places to be."

"It's okay, I'll walk you to the door," Ryou said.

(Ryou's POV)

As we got to the door, I gently grabbed Otogi's arm.

"Thanks for coming. I think our plan really worked!"

"Ryou, I didn't do all of that because of the plan. I don't care if your idiot older brother has feelings for Marik. I don't even care if Marik thinks that he likes Bakura. Marik will be mine in the end. Ryuji Otogi always wins."

I stood at the door and watched at Otogi left. He walked proudly. I gave myself time to think over what Otogi had just said to me before returning to the party.

This can't be... I thought Otogi was just doing me a favour and helping me get Marik and 'Kura together. I asked Otogi to join our friendship group, I asked him to hit on Marik, I asked him to make Bakura jealous, I asked him to come today and bring Marik an amazing present. I made this happen. It is my fault. I've messed around with three people's emotions. It's my fault. What if they all end up hurt by this?

What have I done?

There we gothat was chapter 17 of 'Roommates'. wolfairer, thanks for pointing out it was all in bold- I've fixed it now. I really need to start checking it before I upload XD
So, Otogi likes Marik now. :o Will he come between our lovers? How will the rest of the party go? Will Ryou tell anyone what Otogi told him?
