“Where am I?” Marik wondered as he sat up, he felt a little sick. He had collapsed in the alley after fighting off three of the Neo Ghouls. They had once been his followers and apparently their new leader saw him as a threat. Shit! I have a headache! Marik winced as he put a hand to his head. His arm was in a bandage and there was blood showing through. The sun was shining through an open window; it was summer and almost time for the holidays, though that didn’t matter to Marik. He got up and walked to the door, it wasn’t locked so he wasn’t a prisoner.

“Oh, you’re awake.” Grandpa stated as he walked into the living room. Marik remembered this man; he was the Pharaoh’s Grandfather. Marik bowed to him as he stepped into the room. “Go and take a shower, the bathroom is there and there are some clothes of Joey’s here that he never wears that may fit you.” Grandpa said kindly as he handed Marik some black trousers, pants and a tank top. Marik walked to the bathroom and stepped inside,

“Thank you for your kindness.” He said as he closed the door. Grandpa watched him go inside and went into the bedroom, there was blood all over the sheets where Marik had lost blood from the cut on his arm and the swords, now clean, were leaning on the wall near the draws that sat beside the door. Grandpa took the sheets and replaced them with some new ones. Marik walked in with his old clothes and the damp towels,

“Straight in the washer.” Grandpa ordered. Marik nodded and put the items in the washing machine in the kitchen, which was behind the sofa and to the right of the stairs. Marik looked at the clock, it was three in the afternoon. Have I really been out that long? He wondered in shock.

“How are you feeling?” Grandpa asked kindly; Marik looked so lost and alone. He was like an abandoned puppy with those big brown eyes and his now clean light platinum hair. He had a series of gold loops around his neck and some gold bands on his left arm; the ones on his right arm had been removed and replaced by an untidy bandage. Grandpa stepped forward and re-tied the bandage.

“I’m okay, thank you.” Marik replied simply, he was a little nervous at the moment. Grandpa led him to the sofa and sat him down, handing him a hot cup of tea. Marik took it and sipped at it slowly, I wonder where Ishizu and Odion are. Grandpa wondered as he watched Marik drink.

“Do you have anywhere to go?” Grandpa asked; Marik shook his head slowly, looking at the cup. “Then you’ll stay here.” Grandpa decided as Yugi, Joey and Tristan walked in with their school bags. Joey looked shocked to see Marik, though Yugi had told him earlier.

“No, I couldn’t possibly,” Marik argued, Grandpa cut him off though,

“You are staying here. I won’t have you wandering the streets at night all by yourself.” He stated firmly. Yugi sat on the chair to the right of the sofa, Tristan took the other chair to the left and Joey sat beside Marik, still a little nervous about him. Marik got to his feet and knelt before Yugi,

“Pharaoh, I thank you for you kindness.” He said humbly, Yugi blushed a little and tried to think of how to stop him doing that.

“It’s fine Marik, you don’t have to do that, sit down please, and you don’t have to kneel every time you see me.” He stammered awkwardly. Marik did as he was told and sat on the sofa silently while Joey whistled to break the awkward silence that followed. Grandpa took the finished cups to the kitchen and Marik followed.

“I really must repay you for your kindness, tell me what I can do.” Marik begged, Yugi heard this and went to the kitchen door, leaving Joey and Tristan fighting about something or other.

“I know; why don’t you work in the shop? I don’t like the idea of Grandpa being on those high ladders and carrying those heavy boxes on his own.” Yugi suggested. Marik turned in surprise and was half way to his knees when Yugi held his hands out to stop him, “No, don’t do that.” He ordered. Marik got to his feet and bowed, Yugi didn’t like this either, but it was better than the kneeling. Grandpa looked thoughtful, it’s a good idea. I have been looking for someone to help me run the shop.

“All right, but I won’t let you work for free, I’ll pay you fifty dollars a week.” He decided. It wasn’t much, but the card shop wasn’t the most popular place in the world, although it did get busy sometimes. Marik nodded in agreement and left the room; he was going to bed again.

“Hey Yug, come on, what’s keepin’ ya?” Joey shouted from the other room. Yugi went back to the living room where Joey and Tristan were watching a duel on the duelling channel. It was a channel where you could watch past duels and current ones if there was a tournament on at the time, but there were no tournaments at the moment. “Hey look, it’s Mai.” Joey said excitedly as a blonde woman placed a card on the duel disc. Joey looked at her perfect figure and determined purple eyes; I wonder where she is now. Joe wondered as he watched. He had not seen this duel, but it was from the Battle City Tournament that had finished almost a year ago. He still remembered standing in the road watching Mai drive away; I hope she comes back some day.

“Joey… Hey Joey, are you in there man?” Tristan asked as he waved a tanned hand in front of Joey’s eyes. Joey looked over, still not paying attention,

“Hm?” he groaned, Tristan rolled his eyes and went back to watching the duel. Yugi laughed softly and sat back on the sofa with his two friends. There was a noise, what is that? Yugi wondered as he got up and walked towards the noise, it was coming from Marik’s room. Yugi! Yami objected as Yugi put his hand on the door handle. Oh, come on! Something could be wrong! Yugi excused as he opened the door a crack. Inside Yugi saw Marik training with his swords. He swung gracefully at invisible opponents and used gymnastics to flip and twist to dodge invisible attacks.

“Pharaoh.” He said in surprise as he bowed to Yugi. Yugi hadn’t realised he had been so obvious; he opened the door and stepped inside.

“Hi, sorry, but I heard the noise and thought you might be having some sort of trouble.” Yugi stammered. Marik nodded and wiped his neck with a small towel. He had taken the tank top off so the upper half of his body was clear, revealing the large tattoo on his back. It was a cross like the millennium key that Shadi wore and at the top end was a picture or the Winged Dragon of Ra, to the right was a picture of Sliphur the Sky Dragon and to the left was a picture of Obelisk the Tormentor. Yugi had these cards in his deck now, making him almost invincible.

“Sorry if I concerned you, I always train before I sleep.” Marik replied as he sat on the edge of the bed, his tanned skin looked soft in the light from the lamp on the bedside table. Yugi sat beside his new friend,

“What are you doing back here? Where are Odion and Ishizu?” he asked. Marik looked at the two swords that were on the bed beside him.

“Ishizu is living around here some where, she works in the Egyptian exhibition at the museum and Odion lives with her and works as an archaeologist. I can’t go to them, I won’t risk them getting hurt. I should leave here. If they come for me they will kill you to get to me.” Marik replied as he looked at the swords with cold eyes, I trained the Neo Ghouls; they can kill anyone! Marik thought bitterly as he remembered the days that he had tried to take over the world.

“Who’s after you?” Yugi asked. Marik started, he had forgotten that Yugi was there for a moment.

“The Neo Ghouls. Their new leader sees me as a threat. They have hunted me for weeks.” Marik replied, his shoulders slumping in exhaustion. Yugi put a hand reassuringly on Marik’s shoulder,

“Don’t worry, you’ll be safe here.” Yugi assured, smiling confidently. Marik smiled gratefully and yawned, he looked like he hadn’t slept for days, “You should get some sleep, I’ll see you tomorrow.” Yugi called as he hopped off the bed and ran back into the living room. Marik got off the bed and rolled underneath it, he felt a lot safer under it than on top of it.

“Hey Tea!” Joey shouted as he ran to catch up with Tea. She stopped and waited for him. She was wearing a dark pink skirt and jacket with a dark blue bow around the neck of the white shirt. Man the girl uniform looks bad. Joey thought, as he often did. Tea had her dark blue backpack slung over one shoulder as she leaned on the wall.
“Hey Joey, where’s Yugi?” she asked as he stopped beside her. Joey normally knocked for Yugi on the way to school and met her at the gates,
“He’s taking care of stuff at the shop, said he’d catch up later. Where Bakura?” Joey asked. Tea normally knocked for Bakura on the way to school because he lived down the road from her.
“He’d already left when I got there.” Tea shrugged, I’ll bet he went to walk that ‘friend’ of his to school. She thought in amusement. They walked along until they got to Kaiba Corp and as they approached Kaiba walked quickly down the steps in his uniform, “Does he ever go home?” Tea wondered aloud as he got into the limo. Joey was going to reply when Kaiba caught sight of Tea and walked over, what does he want with Tea? Joey wondered,
“I take it you got the message.” Kaiba said coldly to Tea, not really caring whether she had or hadn’t received it. She nodded and Kaiba slowly walked back to the limo, “Don’t be late.” He warned as he ducked inside and closed the door as Joey looked at Tea waiting for an explanation, but she seemed distracted. He touched her arm and she pulled away,
“What is it?” he asked as she rubbed her arm. She shook her head,
“It’s nothing. I just walked into a cupboard.” She laughed, she’s lyin’ Joey knew, but he also knew she wouldn’t tell him what was really wrong. It wasn’t far to the gates,
“Tea!” a voice shouted and Joey turned to see a man running up to them, probably a couple of years older than they were. Tea stopped and turned, smiling at the man, though Joey was sure that he could see fear in her eyes.
“Derek!” she replied as he scooped her into his arms and swung her around, kissing her as he lowered her to the ground. Joey stood to the side, not knowing what he should do, “Oh, Derek. This is Joey.” She introduced. Derek shook his hand with a firm grip, I sure won’t be messin’ with this guy. Joey decided, smiling kindly but wincing at the pain in his hand.

“Be careful up there Marik!” Grandpa shouted from the counter as Marik climber the ladder to the top shelf to put a box of cards up there, it was a large and heavy box, No wonder the Pharaoh doesn’t want Mr. Muto to carry them. Marik thought, “I have to go up stairs for a while. Take care of the shop while I’m gone.” Grandpa ordered. Marik nodded as he heaved the box up and slid it onto the shelf. Just as the inner door closed, signaling Grandpa’s retreat, the outer door opened to signal a customer. Marik slipped on the ladder and the young girl grabbed the bottom to steady it,
“Thank you.” Marik said as he climbed down and walked to the counter,
“You’re welcome.” Said a familiar voice. Marik looked at her for the first time and almost blushed,
“Serenity,” He greeted. She smiled sweetly, her long light brown hair cascaded down her back, except two shorter bits near the front that framed her face and made her look even more innocent, her brown eyes looked at him kindly as she smiled. She was wearing blue jeans, white trainers, a white T-shirt and a pink body warmer.
“Marik, I wasn’t expecting to see you again.” She said as she leaned on the counter and looked at his eyes closely, he was wearing the same clothes that he had been wearing the day before; he had to go shopping later to get some more clothes. Grandpa heard Serenity’s voice as he walked down the stairs and as he reached the door he opened it a crack and saw Marik at the counter talking to her. “I don’t think I ever thanked you for saving me.” she said shyly, Marik stood with his hands in his pockets and seemed to be trying not to look awkward.
“I didn’t save you, did I?” he asked, I don’t remember saving her life at any point. He thought as he looked back over time he had known her, which wasn’t very long,
“Yes, you did! Remember at Kaiba’s island when the duel tower was going to explode and the aircraft thing wouldn’t start. Mai and I went to find you, Ishizu and Odion to get you out to the helicopter and as we ran through the corridor I slipped and twisted my ankle. You stopped to carry me out remember?” she prompted, Marik remembered now, he laughed softly,
“I didn’t save you, I just carried you out.” He corrected. Serenity shook her head in disagreement,
“No, you saved my life. I know it.” She argued; if I don’t agree with her we’d be here all day. Marik reasoned as Serenity walked around the counter to stand in front of him, looking up at him sweetly. She was a couple of years younger than him and she was a couple of feet shorter, but she was pretty. Marik backed into the counter as Serenity stepped closer, too close. She put her hands on his shoulders and he leaned back, knowing what effect this would have on Joey. Grandpa chuckled quietly as he went back up stairs.
“What if Joey sees?” Marik asked, trying to get out of reach. Serenity leaned on him so that their faces were only a few inches apart, her sweet honey smelling hair stroking his face, forcing an involuntary sigh from Marik.
“He’s in school.” She replied as she kissed Marik. Marik froze. This was the first time he had kissed a girl; he had never had the time for them before. As Serenity made the kiss deeper Marik felt himself kiss back and slowly raised his hands to her shoulders,
“Hey Marik!” Yugi called as he entered. Marik pulled away from Serenity and tried to make it look as innocent as possible as Yugi raised an eye brow and Marik did some quick thinking,
“I can’t see anything, maybe it was just an irritation.” Marik said quickly. Serenity caught on and started rubbing her eye,
“But I’m sure there is something in it, Yugi, could you take a look?” she asked as she rubbed her right eye. Yugi walked over and Serenity leaned down, he looked into her eye and shrugged,
“I can’t see anything either, may be Marik’s right.” He shrugged as Marik went back to the shelves and repositioned the box he had been dealing with when Serenity came in.
“Have you seen Joey? I thought he’d be coming back here with you.” Serenity said truthfully. Yugi and Serenity went upstairs to wait for Joey, who would be coming round with Tristan and Bakura to do some homework. Serenity had finished earlier than they had for the summer.

“Hello Yugi, oh, Serenity. Good to see you again.” Grandpa greeted as the entered, pretending he hadn’t seen her in the shop. Grandpa went down to find Marik; he should have finished with that box by now. When he reached the door he heard a lot of crashing going on and as he opened the door he saw three men in purple robes trying to drag Marik out of the shop, “What do you think you’re doing?” he demanded as he opened the door and stepped into the shop. One of the men in purple held a gun at Grandpa while the other two held Marik, one of them held a knife across his throat,
“Get back Mr. Muto.” Marik ordered as he looked over. Grandpa did as he was told and saw Joey, Tristan and Bakura approaching.
“Hey, what’s goin’ on?” Joey demanded as he approached the door, the two holding Marik were distracted and Marik used this chance to flip out of their grasp, knocking Joey to the ground as a bullet was fired. He heard the bullet hit a lamp post and Marik punched the guy with the gun, which went sliding across the floor to Bakura’s feet. He picked it up and aimed it unevenly; hold it still Bakura! Ryou ordered; I can’t! Bakura replied. The Millennium ring glowed and Bakura changed, he still looked like Bakura, but older and his voice was harder and his manner was colder.
“Back off.” Ryou ordered as one of the Neo Ghouls went to stab Marik in the back, while he was wrestling with another one as Joey punched the third, the one with the knife stepped away slowly. “Good, now go to your leader and tell him anyone that messes with Marik messes with Ryou Bakura. If I catch you at this again, I will send you to the Shadow Realm faster than you can say Destiny Board!” Ryou continued. The Neo Ghouls looked at Ryou coldly, but back off and ran into the night, the millennium ring glowed and Bakura returned to his body, holding the gun weakly at his side.
“Bakura, are you all right?” Tristan asked, Bakura looked a little shaky on his feet, but nodded as he tucked the gun inside his coat. This may come in handy later. He thought; why do you need that when you have the millennium ring? Ryou reasoned. Bakura ignored Ryou and kept the gun inside his coat.
“Marik, you okay?” Joey asked as he brushed himself off. Marik nodded, massaging his shoulder as they walked into the shop and up the stairs, they were safe for now.

“Marik, take this.” Yugi ordered. It was later that night; Joey, Tristan, Bakura and Serenity were staying there in case the Neo ghouls were waiting for them. Yugi held up the millennium rod and offered it to Marik,
“I can not take this. I gave it to you.” He replied as Yugi forced it into his hands,
“I know, but you need it now.” Yugi argued, Marik took the rod and felt its power course through his body. It had once been his birthright to have this rod, but that was a long time ago, the rod should go to Kaiba. But since Kaiba didn’t want the rod Marik decided he would keep it until Kaiba was ready to take it.

Kaiba waited for Tea to arrive for her interview, as much as he hated to admit it, Tea was one of the few who had made it to the interview stage, in fact there was only one other person he was considering for the job. There was a knock at the door and Tea entered, is that a bruise on her cheek? He wondered as she sat down shyly.
“What happened to your,” he began,
“I walked into a cupboard.” She replied quickly. Kaiba didn’t like being cut off in the middle of a sentence, but he let it go for now. They started the interview, she answered every question perfectly and knew how to deal with difficult situations, he didn’t even need to tell her to shut up about the friendship stuff, is she feeling okay? He wondered. Usually she gave him the big friendship talk, but she seemed quiet, subdued.
“You have the job.” Kaiba decided, though he wasn’t sure where that came from. He had been planning to think about it, but he had given the job to her straight away, I’m going soft. He decided. Tea left just as quietly as she had entered.

“I’m just saying be careful.” Bakura replied as he walked though the park with Liviana. She was wearing a long yellow skirt and a red summer top and her long flowing hair had a red lily tied in it, it was the first time Bakura had seen her in her normal clothes. It was summer at last, no more school for six whole weeks.
“You’re so sweet.” She stated as they walked arm in arm through the park. Bakura wore blue jeans and a shirt with white trainers. Bakura felt himself blush, he had been called that before, but not by a girl he liked.
“Thanks, so are you.” He replied, good thinking, complement her again. Ryou coached from the back of his mind. Bakura thought and looked into her captivating eyes,
“Your eyes are so beautiful!” he said quietly as he looked into her eyes, she blushed and looked away, make a move! Ryou ordered. Bakura put his hand on her chin and gently turned her head to face him, he then moved his hand to the side of her neck and pulled her face towards his, leaning down slightly to kiss her soft lips. She put her arms around his shoulders and kissed him back, Bakura, behind you! Ryou shouted. Bakura pushed Liviana down onto the grass, falling on top of her as a gun shot sounded. Ryou got off Liviana and pulled the gun from the belt of his trousers,
“I thought I warned you.” He yelled at the now terrified Neo Ghoul that ran across the park to the gate and disappeared down the street before Ryou could follow him. “Shit!” Ryou exclaimed as he put the gun back in his belt and turned to Liviana, who was still sprawled on the ground where he had left her. Ryou held out a hand and pulled her up, she couldn’t stop staring at him, “Are you all right?” Ryou asked in concern as she ran a hand across his face. She knew something wasn’t right,
“Who are you?” she asked as she looked into his eyes. Bakura doesn’t look that…evil She thought as she looked at the terrifying figure before her, but he didn’t seem evil to her.
“I am Ryou.” He replied. She looked at him in confusion; Ryou was Bakura’s first name. Before she could ask another question Bakura had returned and she was in his arms.
“Tell me what happened, who were you?” she asked, Bakura looked at her in surprise. Normally people couldn’t tell when his Yami took over because Ryou tried to act like him while he was in his body.
“Have you ever heard of a Yami?” Bakura asked. Liviana nodded and Bakura went on to talk to her about his Yami and everything they had been through, everything he had been forced to go through. He took the millennium eye out of his trouser pocket and held it up; she knew about her brother’s eye and stared at it in horror.
“You stole his eye?” she cried as she looked at it,
“No, I won it in a duel, a very unfair one if I do say so myself.” Bakura replied as he handed her the eye. She looked at the eye and it began to glow, what does that mean? Bakura wondered.
