Grace0331- Hello my readers! I'm here with Mariku and the other chapter!
Yami Marik- You are confusing me.. In this story you call me Malik.. And here you call me Mariku? What is your point in all of this.
Grace0331- I just like messing with your head! It's fun!
Yami Marik- Oh is that so? Do you like me to torture you?
Grace0331- Oh mommy.. Save me!
Yami Marik- HAHAHA! You cannot stop me! *starts tickling her*
Grace0331- Hahaha! P..lease... S..top.. Hahaha!
Yami Marik- This idiot does not own Yugioh nor me.
Grace0331- Hey! I'm not an idiot!
Yami Marik- Oh is that so? Do you want some more tickling?
Kaoruko gave Anzu a grin and said:
- Yes Mazaki. It's me. Who else can have this melodious voice other than me?
Anzu tried not to laugh and have a serious expression. "You? A melodious voice? Bite me! If you have that kind of voice then Yami was a Pharaoh in Ancient Egypt!(*)" Anzu thought with a serious face, trying not to show fear or sarcasm.
- So.. Kaoruko.. Can I do something for you?- Anzu asked.
- In fact... Yes.- Kaoruko said not letting her wrist free.
She then drew Anzu to the music class, because there was no one who could stop Kaoruko.
- Um.. Please let me go.. I have to go to my class..- Anzu said in a low voice while struggling to get free.
- Oh I don't think so.- Kaoruko said and slammed Anzu on the wall.
Anzu fell on the ground and tried to get up, but Kaoruko grabbed her by the collar and said with an angry voice:
- Don't EVER try to disobey me! Now listen here you wench! I will ask you some questions and you have to answer! Is that clear?
Anzu just nodded with her eyes closed. She couldn't scream because the bell had rang and all the students and teachers were in different classes. Anyway if Anzu would scream, she was sure that Kaoruko would make her life a living hell.
- So.. Have you heard about the Valentine's Dance?
Her response was a nod.
- Do you have a partner yet?
Anzu shook her head with eyes still closed.
- Then with who do you think you will go with? Yami? Oh I forgot! He has a new girlfriend. And you know why? Because no one would like a girl like you!
Anzu remained silent. Kaoruko's words hurt her. Why was life so cruel with her? Why was Kaoruko so angry with her?
- Maybe Kaiba? No. A rich and hot boy like him could never go out with you!- Kaoruko brought her lips near Anzu's ear and said - Because you are a looser that deserves nothing! Just to die!
Anzu opened her eyes and fresh tears began to form in her cerulean blue eyes. Why was Kaoruko so cruel?
- What about Joey? No..Not even a dog like him would never go out with a wench like you! ..Tristan? No. He will go with that idiot.. What was her name? Oh right.. Miho.. Looks like that idiot will go with someone while you won't! Oh! I forgot the shrimp! Yugi! You will go with him? With that cry-baby? ..Now that I remember.. That shrimp is in the hospital because he was hurt playing Duel Monster right? Ha! That boy isn't just a shrimp! He can be hurt playing a card game too! What a looser!
Anzu raised her head to see Kaoruko in the eye. Kaoruko had a surprised look on her face. She could see fire in Anzu's eyes.
- You can't talk about my friend that way!- Anzu shouted and slapped Kaoruko.
Kaoruko was shocked. No person had ever dared lay a finger on her! That made her very furious and backhanded Anzu, but those damn long nails scratched Anzu's fragile cheek. Anzu's angry expression was replaced with one that held fear. She had done something that no one would dare to do! She slapped Kaoruko. That ment only one thing. She was doomed. Nothing could save her know. Just a teacher, but since they were all in different classes, no one could save her.
- You know what you just did to yourself now don't you Mazaki?- Kaoruko said with a voice filled with hate and anger while she grabbed Anzu's neck.- Now where was I? Oh yes! I was saying that you could not go with anyone at the dance because you are a looser! You know? I heard that your best friends Arena and Grace did find two boys to go to the dance with! You know? They are lucky! Going to the dance with hot boys!
- Wh-What do you mean?- Anzu said with a low voice while trying to breath.
- I heard that your ex-boyfriend's sister will go with Marik Ishtar while your cousin will go with Touzoku Bakura! Strange huh? I'm sure you knew that they wouldn't have the guts to ask them or if they would, it would be the other way around. Like Grace with Marik and Bakura with Arena. I'm sure it surprised you the fact that your best friends didn't tell you their real crushes!
- Th-that.. That can't...
- That can't be true? Oh belive me! It is! Oh.. I forgot to tell you the most important thing...- Kaoruko stopped talking and remaind silent, certenly trying to hear something.
She said to her 'friend' to go check who the person was and if it was needed, show him a lesson. She nodded and got out of the room, leaving Anzu on Kaoruko's hand.
- So what was I gonna say? Oh right.. Do you know Malik Ishtar? Marik's insane but hot brother? Of course you do! Well I will tell you one thing! Stay out of my way to get him or I'll make you regret the day you were born.
She saw Anzu nod and then heard footsteps coming over her. She said:
- Did you show that person a lesson Risa?
- Oh, of course I did!- a masculine voice said.
- Wait your not..- Kaoruko turned her head to where the voice was coming from and let out a gasp.
- The problem is that my name is not Risa.. It's Malik.- The egyptian boy said with an evil smirk on his face.
- Ma-Malik! Wh-why are you here?- Kaourko said and freed Anzu's neck.
Anzu fell to the ground, panting. She held her neck with her pale hands and then looked at her saviour. He had spiky platinum hair and lavender eyes. Then she remembered the dream. It was kind of the same thing.. But she didn't have all the damage she had in the dream.
Malik's smirk widened as he asked:
- I was just walking around. I never go in class on time so the teachers are used to that. Should I ask you the same thing too?
- Uh... I was... Just.. talking to my friend.. Y-yea that's it!- Kaoruko said and watched with the corner of the eye Anzu, who was trying to sneak away.
Kaoruko said nothing. She was surprised to see Malik. She knew that he couldn't harm her, since he wasn't the type of the guy to beat females up, but something not very good would still happen.
- Now now apricot girl! Trying to sneak away, now aren't you?- Malik said, his gaze still on Kaoruko.
Anzu froze. He saw her. She cursed in her mind as she felt his hand grab her wrist. Anzu gulped but then thought:"Seriously! I've had enough with everyone grabbing my wrist! I'm not a doll!" But then she gasped as Malik pulled her to him and with one hand he grabbed her chin.
- Well Kaoruko... I must say that your conversation with your 'friend' has gone pretty well. I mean.. Friends always let scratches and slap signs after a little chat now don't they?- Malik said with sarcasm.
- Um.. Well I...
- I know I'm hot but two girls fighting over me isn't necessary.
Anzu tried to act like she didn't hear that but failed. She said:
- Yea, yea! Keep dreaming! I would never think of liking you!
- Oh.. A little harsh now aren't you?- He said, licking her bleeding cheek.
Anzu had chills down her spin. She was like.. ew.. He just licked her! Or better, licked her blood! That was just disgusting!
- Stop that!
- What if I don't want to?- He said with his smirk.
- I'll make you regret it!- Anzu said with anger.
- Oh? Wanna give it a try?
Anzu huffed and punched Malik in the stomach with her free hand. He deserved it! No one could treat her like that!
- You could just ask me to free you, you know that?
- Like hell you would!- She said.
Malik freed her and said:
- Go to class now!
- There is no need for you to say that! I was going to do that myself!- Anzu said and started walking out.
When she was gone Malik drew his attention back to Kaoruko who was now trembling.
- I will make this clear..- He said and slammed her to the wall.- Don't touch that girl! I have a particular interest in her.
- Wh-what kind of interest?- asked Kaoruko with fear and curiosity.
- That's none of your business. Anyway.. I'll let you go away this time. I have to go to class too.- He said while walking out.- Oh! And don't forget your friend! She's right here having a great sleep. I think I slammed her too much on the wall..- With that, he got out of the class and started walking towards his class.
Anzu was in the front of the door. It was the first time she was late for class.. This made her worry a little.. What was she gonna say to the teacher? She knocked softly on the door and heard the teacher say 'Enter'. She opened the door and with her head lowered walked in her class. The teacher was clearly surprised to see her. Even her friends were! The teacher said:
- Mazaki! Why are you late for class?
- Um.. Well I..
Anzu didn't know what to say. She obviously couldn't say the truth. So what?
- It's my fault sensei!- A voice came behind Anzu.
She immediately turned her head in the direction the voice was coming from. Anzu was surprised. She saw Malik. He was taking the fault?
- Is that true Mazaki?- the teacher asked.
Anzu didn't know what to say. She looked to the teacher and then back to Malik. She could understand what his lavender eyes were saying. 'Say yes and then create a story. Just don't make it to big or you will regret it.' Then she looked back at the teacher and said:
- Yes sensei!
- What did he do to you?
Anzu first blushed and said:
- H-he.. Was teasing me.. That's all.
The teacher fixed the glasses she had on her nose and said:
- That means you are in detention Ishtar!
Malik seemed to curse something under his teeth and was ready to walk out from the class but stopped as he heard Anzu melodious voice talk:
- NO! I mean.. There is no need.. Uh.. I fixed that myself.. - She said while blushing and lowering her heard.
In fact that was kind of true. He teased her with licking her cheek and then starting to flirt with her. And she punched him. So the story wasn't completely a lie. The teacher nodded and said:
- Okay, now go seat in your desks.
Anzu and Malik nodded but before she could start walking towards her desk the teacher asked:
- Oh, by the way.. What is that scratch on your cheek?
- Oh!- Anzu realized that the scratch was visible and tried to find a lie.- Um.. A.. A cat sensei! It was just a cat!
The teacher nodded and started explaining the lesson. Anzu then sat down on her desk and could feel eyes on her. The ones watching her and Malik were her friends and his friends. "Gee, this is going to be a long day.." With that thought she let out a small sigh escape her lips as she hoped the lesson would finish soon.
Grace0331-(*) That idea is funny in my opinion! I mean.. In the anime Yami is a pharaoh right? I just wanted to use sarcasm.. I hope you liked that.. Uhm... I don't have much to say so..
Yami Marik- Oh yeah that was soooo funny. It was as funny as wacthing a duel.
Grace0331- Hey! You are offending me sir!
Yami Marik- I'll take that as you didn't learn your lession?
Grace0331- Oh no! No more tickling!
Yami marik-Do you prefer being tickled or killed?
Grace0331- Um.. Ticlked..
Yami marik- Ok then.. *starts tickling her*
Grace0331- Hahaha! R...Read.. and.. Hahahaa!
