Time to Duel, Mariko!

By
Hideki LaShae

Chapter Five
Forever Love

�Are you
ready, Marie?� asks Yugi securing the duel disk on his wrist.
Marie
places her duel disk on her wrist. The Millennium Scale now hangs in a special
harness strapped to her right thigh.

Two of a pair

Now on opposite sides�

�Are you
ready to duel, Marie?� asks Yugi walking out into the middle of the street and
looking at Marie.
�I�m ready
if you are, Yugi!� exclaims Marie smiling wickedly at Yugi.
Yugi nods.
�Yu-Gi-Oh!�
Marie
squints as she watches the power overtaking her brother�s form. She notices the
slight differences in the way his spiky hair falls about his face, and the way
his eyes look more determined. She even sees how much taller he is now that he
has joined his mind with the ancient pharaoh. �Let the duel begin! In the name
of fairness, I will grant you the first move, Yami!�
Marie and
Yami both draw their five cards from their decks.
�By all
means, Marie, ladies first,� says Yami with a deeper voice than he normally
uses.
�If you
insist,� says Marie placing a card on top of her duel disk, �I will play Leghul
in defense mode, and I�ll also place one card for later.� She slides a card
into a slot on her duel disk.
�Not a very
strong monster,� says Yami, �Why would you play that?�
�I have a
few reasons,� says Marie.
�Let me help you, Marie,� whispers a
deep, masculine voice within Marie�s mind.
�I won�t let you, Mariko! You tried to hurt Mokuba last
time! I will never let you control me again!� thinks Marie, �Can�t you just get
out of my head, you stupid jerk! When will you ever learn that this is my
body and you cannot have it!�
The man appears to Marie�s mind�s eye. He stands just a
head taller than Marie with wild blond hair highlighted with black streaks. His
eyes are a piercing black, and his pants, the only article of clothing he
wears, are made of the pitchest black fabric. He whispers, �Let me help you
win.�
�I will win on my own, Mariko!� thinks Marie. She sees
Mariko in front of her in the darkness, and she sees her own mental body
standing in the void of her mind.
�You can�t do it alone. You will be begging me later.
This boy is your brother as well as the ancient Pharaoh, and you know that you
can�t defeat him,� whispers Mariko, �I can defeat him. Besides, I don�t want or
need your body, Marie. It�s useless to me now that I know that you�ve been
soiled!�
Marie slaps Mariko.
�I�ll play
Beaver Warrior in attack mode!� exclaims Yami placing a card on the field, �And
have him attack your Leghul!�
Mariko scowls. �Let me
defeat him for you, Marie��

�Not so
fast, Yugi-boy!� exclaims Marie pushing the button to activate her magic card,
�Negate attack!� She draws a card and switches her Leghul card for another
monster. �I�ll sacrifice my Leghul to play the Dark Magician! Attack his Beaver
Warrior with Dark Light!�
The
holographic projectors bring the scene to life for everyone to see.
�I don�t
care what you think, Marie� I want to win this duel at all costs, and I will
defeat the pharaoh!� exclaims Mariko, �I must have his power!�
Marie pulls
her right hand away from her duel deck. She reaches her hand down to her side
and unbuckles the Millennium Scale from the straps that holds it to her thigh.
She raises it mindlessly into the air above her head. �Ma-Ri-Ko!�
A swirling wind
starts up around Marie and whips her clothing fiercely around her body.
�Marie!
No!� screams Seto with widening eyes.
Marie�s
triple colored, spiky hair flares out within the confines of her ponytail
holder. Her bangs stand up into high, arched spikes. Her white T-shirt crawls
up her stomach to reveal her tanned skin. The purple jacket grows longer to
extend to the middle of her thighs.
Marie�s
pants shorten into a deep purple set of hip-hugger Capris, and the white pumps
she wears change into a set of white stiletto heels to add a good four inches
to her height. She places the Millennium Scale back in the holster upon her
thigh.
�Marie!�
exclaims Mokuba.
�I am not
Marie! I AM MARIKO!� exclaims Mariko with a deeper, more masculine voice. She
places two cards into the slots on her duel disk. �Now I play Hinotama!�
Yami takes
one step backwards as the magic card is revealed. He looks at Mariko with wide
eyes as his life points go down to reflect the most recent attack. �Who are
you, Mariko? What do you want and why have you taken over control of my sister?
Are you working with Marik?�
�Marik? I
know no Marik!� exclaims Mariko, �And what I want is quite simple! I want the
power of the Pharaoh! I have waited long enough! When you trapped me, Yami, you
thought that you had seen the last of me! Now I return, more powerful than ever
thanks to you! You have a truly powerful sister! Now it is time for me
to banish little Yugi to the shadow realm forever!� She holds the Millennium
Scale up above her head. �I am a servant of Anubis! This is your trial, Yugi
Motou! Behold the Scales of Truth!�
A feather
appears in one of the trays of the scale.
Yami stares
at Mariko. He speaks with his deep voice that is so unlike Yugi�s soft tone,
�Marie? What are you doing?�
�I summon
Ammit!� exclaims Mariko with wide purple eyes.
Yami is the
only one who sees the monster rise up behind Mariko. He glares at her. �Enough
with these games, Mariko! What are you doing here?�
�You
trapped me within the Millennium Scale, Yami. I have now found a body, the
perfect body, the one you once loved the most� even if she did not love you in
return,� says Mariko, �Now that I have found this body, I will complete the
task I set upon in ancient times! I will rule the world!�
�Never! As
long as I live you will never rule the world!� exclaims Yami. The eye on his
Millennium Puzzle flares a brilliant white light.
�Help
me, Yugi!� thinks Marie desperately. She screams as loud as she can in her
mind, �Yugi, help me!�
�Marie?�
asks Yami.

Time�s running out�

�No!�
screams Mariko.
Ammit
disintegrates like the holographic monsters once they�re destroyed.
A strong
flash of light from the Millennium Puzzle hurls Marie backwards, and she falls
on her back five feet from where she had been standing. Her clothing returns to
normal� the jacket shrinking back to her waist, the white shirt lengthening to
cover her mid-riff, her pants legs growing longer, and her shoes changing back
into her white pumps. Her hair falls from its electrostatic charge to fall in
odd crimped spikes around her face, and the end of her ponytail no longer
stands up rigidly.
�Marie?�
asks Yami, �Are you all right?�
Marie
groans as she tries to sit up.
Seto rushes
to Marie�s side and helps her to sit up. He wraps his arm behind her back and
supports her.
�Yugi?�
asks Marie looking at her brother.
Yami closes
his eyes. When he opens his eyes again, he is no longer Yami, but Yugi instead.
He hurries over to Marie. �Yes, Marie! It�s me!�
�What did
Yami do to me? Mariko�s gone,� says Marie.
�Mariko�s
gone?� asks Seto with wide eyes.
Marie nods
her head. She grips the Millennium Scale and looks at it. �Yes, Seto� He�s
gone. He�s no longer within me.�
�Yami sent him
to the shadow realm,� says Yugi kneeling in front of Marie, �Are you all
right?�
�No� No,
I�m not. Seto, can you take me home?� asks Marie weakly.
�Of course,
Marie,� says Seto standing up. He helps Marie to her feet and then he scoops
her up into his arms. He glares at Yugi, although not menacingly as he normally
would. His glare looks slightly� grateful. He turns around. �Come on, Mokuba!�
Marie wraps
her arms around Seto�s neck and rests her head against his chest.
�Marie?�
asks Solomon.
�Grandpa��
Yugi shakes his head as he stands up. �Let her go.�
Seto
carries Marie down the street towards the limousine in front of the game shop.
�Thank you
for helping Marie, Yugi. Seto really appreciates it, but you know him� He�d
never tell you himself.� Mokuba smiles at Yugi. He follows Seto quickly.
�Hey, Yuge,
do you think that Mariko character can return?� asks Joey watching Seto carry
Marie away.
�I hope
not,� says Yugi, �He was taking a toll on her mind. He was trying to drive her
crazy.�

* * *

We�ll show them what we�re made of

As we fight for the ones we
love�

Marie lies
in her bed with a cold washcloth on her forehead.
�How do you
feel, Marie?� asks Seto stroking her hand gently.
�I feel
like I did before Mariko came to me,� says Marie sighing. She rolls over onto
her side and looks at Seto. She smiles. �I feel much better, Seto, but there is
something that keeps bothering me.�
�Is it what
you said? What Mariko said about the past?� asks Seto.
�Yes.�
Marie nods. �He said Pharaoh Yami loved me in the past, but I didn�t love him.
I don�t understand. What could he have been talking about?�
Seto pulls
Marie into an embrace. �I don�t know, Marie.�
�I
shouldn�t let it bother me,� says Marie holding onto Seto. She pushes herself
slightly away and sits up on her bed. She smiles. �I�m really happy that he�s
gone! Mariko�s finally gone!�
�Gone for
good?� asks Seto.
�I�ll make
sure of it!� exclaims Marie.
Seto
smiles. He kisses Marie quickly. �Good. I�m glad.�
�Yugi was
the one who banished Mariko to the shadow plane,� says Marie, �I don�t know if
I can use the powers of the Millennium Scale now without Mariko, but I don�t
know if I actually need to use the powers of the scale.�
�You don�t.
You have me,� says Seto.
Marie looks
into Seto�s dark eyes and finds herself totally lost within them. She wraps her
arms around his neck and pulls herself up tight against him, and the whole
while she stares entranced into his eyes. �Can I stay with you?�
�Forever,�
says Seto staring into Marie�s purple eyes.
Marie gives
Seto a long and slow kiss on the lips. When she pulls away from the kiss, she
whispers, �I want to tell you I love you.�
�I want to
say the same thing,� whispers Seto.

How�d it come to this

After all we�ve been through�

�Thank you,
Seto,� says Marie.
�Marie!�
exclaims Mokuba walking into the bedroom. He turns his eyes away and blushes
when he sees Marie in Seto�s arms.
�Mokuba!�
exclaims Marie sliding away from Seto and blushing, �What is it?�
�You have a
phone call,� says Mokuba, �It�s Yugi. He called to see if you were all right
now.�
�I should
go talk to him,� says Marie standing, �Seto� are you upset that Yugi is my
brother?�
�No, Marie.
You cannot choose your family. I don�t want him to be related to you, but there
is nothing we can do about that,� says Seto, �I am fine with him being your
brother. Just so long as he isn�t calling you here all the time.�
�Thank you,
Seto,� says Marie smiling, �I�ll take the call in the den.� She heads out of
her bedroom and down to the den. She lifts the receiver to her ear and pushes
the buttons to pick up her call. �This is Marie� Hello, Yugi!�
<<Hi,
Marie. I�m sorry to call, but I just wanted to see if you�re doing
okay,>> comes Yugi�s voice from the other end of the line.
�You are my
brother, Yugi, and Seto said it would be acceptable for you to call me
occasionally. Just so long as it doesn�t happen too often,� says Marie, �I�ll
give you the number to my private line next time I see you. I�m doing much
better. I actually feel wonderful, and I have you to thank for it. So thank you
for getting rid of Mariko for me. Seto thanks you too, but he will never tell
you that� And there�s something else I wanted to say to you too��
<<What
is it?>> asks Yugi.
�I wanted
to tell you that if you need my help you�d get it. You just need to ask,� says
Marie, �Ishizu told me that something big was about to happen here, and that it
would involve the Millennium Items. So if you need my help, you can ask for it,
and I�ll help you.�
<<Ishizu
was right. Something is happening. I mentioned Marik in our duel earlier. He�s
trying to get my Millennium Puzzle and three very rare cards�>>
�The
Egyptian God cards. Yes, I know. I lived with Ishizu, and she told me about the
cards. That Marik though� Could he be Marik Ishtar?� asks Marie, �He�s Ishizu�s
brother. Marik and Ishizu Ishtar were the guards of some tomb in Egypt I think,
maybe Marik still is, but Ishizu is guarding other things as well��
<<Like
the Egyptian God cards,>> says Yugi, <<I don�t know if it could be
Marik Ishtar or not. He�s not too keen on giving me his last name. But this
Marik person has a big plan that involves the God cards and my Puzzle, and I
don�t want him to get any of it!>>
�You may
need my help against Marik, and I�ll gladly offer it! When you need me, just
call me!� exclaims Marie with a slight smile, �That�s what family is for, and
it will also be thanks for you helping me with Mariko.�
<<Are
you sure you�re all right?>>
�Yes, Yugi.
I�m fine,� says Marie.
<<Grandpa
wants you to come live with us.>>
�I can�t.
You know that I can�t. We may be blood related, but we�re not family. You know
that.�
<<I
do,>> says Yugi, <<But Grandpa doesn�t. We�re family to him, even
if we haven�t been together all this time. I don�t think he sees anything wrong
with what he and Grandma decided to do to us. The separation part I mean. They
should have never separated us, but what�s done is done. They did what they
thought was right at the time, and it did give us a chance to grow up as individuals
instead of as twins.>>
�You are so
optimistic! Sure, you can find the good in any situation, but who wants to do
that! I suppose I have to forgive him now� He didn�t really have anything to do
with the events in Egypt, and I suppose I was a little unfair blaming
everything on him!� exclaims Marie giggling, �Well, Yugi, I need to go! I�ll
talk to you in Battle City sometime! I�m entering the tournament myself! We�ll
duel in the finals!�
<<I�ll
be waiting for our rematch! Today�s duel was inconclusive, so you really don�t
have to forgive Grandpa just yet if you don�t want to! If you do, that�s okay
though! Well, bye, Marie!>>
�Bye,� says
Marie. She sets the receiver down and takes a deep breath as she turns around.
She smiles to herself and heads from the den to go find Mokuba and Seto.

* * *

Marie lies
alone in bed, fast asleep in the midnight hour. She rolls over onto her side,
and her pleasant dream of seeing Seto and Mokuba in Egypt changes drastically.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
�Hello
again, Marie� Did you miss me?� asks Mariko walking up to Marie.
�You aren�t
here! You can�t be here!� exclaims Marie. She gasps as Mariko takes her hand.
�Oh, but
I am here, Marie! You did a remarkable job of trying to get rid of me, but as
long as you still want me, I�ll still be here! And you know that you want me!
You want me to do what you can�t. You want me to win duels for you because you
are weak! You have a weak body, a weak heart, and a weak mind!� exclaims
Mariko, �But I am strong! I have the power that you want!�
�I� I� I
don�t understand! Yugi sent you to the Shadow realm!� exclaims Marie, �How
could you be back? Go away. Go away, Mariko, and never come back!�
Mariko
lifts Marie�s hand to his lips and kisses it. �I can�t do that. I don�t care
what you think of me, Marie, but I care for you. I care for you far more than
Seto Kaiba� In our past, Yami loved you more than anything else in the world.
But you didn�t love him. You loved another man. We should have been together in
that time as we are now, but it wasn�t meant to be. Had we been together then,
we both would have been killed. As it was, Yami imprisoned me within the scale.
He imprisoned seven spirits in all. I was placed within the Millennium Scale.
There was the Thief King Bakura who was imprisoned within the Millennium Ring.
The Millennium Eye holds a dangerous foe or a possible ally� The Millennium
Rod� We must find the one who wields the Millennium Rod. The spirit within is a
great ally to us. He has always been our friend. The Millennium Necklace holds
a spirit that was once our greatest ally, but now may prove to be our greatest
foe. Ishizu has corrupted the spirit of the Necklace� The Millennium Key�s
spirit was also corrupted� Then Yami himself was trapped within the Millennium
Puzzle.�
�Go away,
Mariko! And never come near me again! I love Seto!� screams Marie pulling her
hand away from Mariko.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Marie falls
out of bed and wakes up when she hits the floor. She lies on her stomach on the
floor for a few minutes just trying to calm her racing heart. She pushes
herself up onto her hands and knees. She whispers, �Stay away, Mariko� Stay
away��
Marie
slowly climbs to her feet. She grabs her pink and purple robe from the chair at
her vanity dresser and wraps it around herself. She ties it closed as she heads
out of her room and down the hallway to the bathroom. She washes her face and
hands before leaving the bathroom several minutes later. She heads quietly down
the hall to Seto�s room, and she raps gently on the door.
A muffled
sound of confusion comes through the door.
Marie opens
the door quietly and looks inside. She smiles when she sees Seto sleeping in
the center of his King-sized bed. She walks into the room and closes the door
behind her. She approaches the bed.
Seto opens
one eye and looks at Marie wearily. �Did you have a nightmare, Marie?�
�Yes,
Seto,� whispers Marie fidgeting with her robe, �Could I sleep in here with you?�
Seto pulls
the blankets aside so that Marie can see his bare chest. He pats the bed beside
him.
Marie
removes her robe and places it beside Seto�s black robe on the chair beside the
dresser. She slides into the bed beside Seto and pulls the blanket back over
them as she lies down.
Seto rolls
onto his side and wraps his arms around Marie. �Tell me all about your
nightmare. It will make you feel better.�

It�s been you and me

Hanging out playing games

Didn�t ever think it would get
this hard�

Marie
cuddles up as close as she can to Seto and whispers, �I was showing you and
Mokuba around an excavation site in Egypt when suddenly you both were gone and
Mariko was there with me. He talked about the past��
�What did
he say?� asks Seto brushing Marie�s hair back away from her face.
�He said
that Yami imprisoned him in the scale, and there was a spirit named Bakura that
is in the Millennium Ring. The Eye holds a dangerous enemy, and the Rod has our
greatest ally. He said the spirits in the Necklace and Key used to be evil but
now are good� I think. Since he�s evil, I think that�s what he meant,� says
Marie, �but he didn�t stop there. He practically told me he loves me� He said
he cares for me more than you do!�
�No one
could care for you more than I do,� whispers Seto kissing Marie�s forehead. He
kisses her lips quickly.
�Mariko
said Yami had loved me, but I had loved him and not Yami. He said that I want
him to be with me. That I want him because I�m so weak.� Marie buries her face
in Seto�s chest and cries silently as Seto rubs her back to comfort her.
�Was there
anything else?� asks Seto still rubbing Marie�s back.
�No� that
was bad enough!� exclaims Marie.
�Don�t
worry now, Marie. I�ll protect you. Go to sleep,� says Seto, �and when you
wake, everything will seem a thousand times better. I promise.�

We�re in this together�

�Thank you,
Seto,� says Marie. She wraps her arms around Seto and caresses his bare skin.
Seto
chuckles as Marie�s fingers slide across a ticklish section.
�Tomorrow,
we go into Battle City and duel� both of us,� says Marie moving to kiss Seto�s
stomach where she had just tickled him.
Seto rolls
onto his back and pulls Marie up tight against his side. He smiles when she
rests her head on his shoulder. �Sleep well, Marie� I�ll protect you.�
Marie sets
her hand on Seto�s chest over his heart. She closes her eyes. �Good night,
Seto��
Seto kisses
Marie�s forehead and rests his hand over hers on his chest. �Have good dreams
now, Marie��

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seto rolls
onto his back and pulls Marie on top of him. He holds her tightly as he gives
her a long kiss. He looks at her longingly, with a hunger hidden deep within
his blue eyes.
�I am
yours, Seto,� whispers Marie relaxing in his arms, �If you want me, I am yours
for the taking.�
�You are
not a possession, Marie. I don�t want you to be mine. I�ll settle for having
your heart,� says Seto.
�You have
it� You have my heart. You can own that and borrow my body,� says Marie
smiling, �whenever you have need of it.�
Seto
swallows hard. �Thank you, but I don�t need to borrow it tonight. Now don�t get
me wrong! I would love to borrow it sometime! I do want it, but I need to make
sure that I wouldn�t be hurting you if I ever did accept that gift. Besides, I
think you need sleep more than anything else right now. My needs and desires
can certainly wait for you.�
�Yes� Just
so long as you know� That is enough for me,� says Marie.
Seto kisses
Marie again and pries at her lips with his tongue until she opens her mouth for
him.

You�ve always meant the world to me

And that�s one thing that�ll
never change�

Marie
straddles Seto and sits up over top of him. She takes his hand and places it over
her left breast so that he can feel her heart beating rapidly through her
flesh.
Seto
blushes as he touches the soft mound of Marie�s breast. He slides his fingers
around its surface and manipulates it in his hand.
Marie
closes her eyes and leans forward towards Seto�s hand.
Seto closes
his eyes and grabs Marie. He pulls her down beside him and rolls over on top of
her. His weight presses her body down so that she can�t move as he runs his
hands up and down her sides. He opens his eyes and looks at her face. �I love
you, Marie��
Marie opens
her eyes wide and stares into Seto�s blue eyes. �You love me? Really?�
�I wouldn�t
have said it if I didn�t mean it.�
�I love you
too, Seto! Ever since you first beat me in a duel!�
Seto kisses
Marie�s cheek and slides to the side to lie beside her. He holds her close to
him. �I love you. Now go to sleep. We need to rest up for tomorrow.�
�You�re
right,� says Marie snuggling up against Seto.
Seto holds
Marie gently as she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath before falling
slowly asleep. �You�re beautiful, Marie��
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Marie wakes
up in Seto�s arms and sits bolt upright. She places both her hands over her
chest and pants heavily from her dream. She looks at Seto sleeping beside her
and she smiles. Her cheeks redden as the events from her dream unfold before
her eyes. She kisses Seto�s forehead.
Seto moves
his arm and opens his eyes fearfully. �Marie!�
�I�m right
here, Seto,� says Marie taking a deep breath.
Seto sits
up and wraps his arms around Marie. �Did you have another dream? A nightmare?�
�A dream�
yes. I don�t know if we should do this��
�Do what?�
�Sleep in
the same bed. It was okay when Mokuba was with us too. We couldn�t do anything
even if we wanted to because we�d wake him up, but without him here, there�s
nothing to stop us.�
�You had an
erotic dream, didn�t you?� asks Seto, �It was about me I hope!� He chuckles.
�It�s not
funny, Seto! My heart still hasn�t quit pounding!� exclaims Marie.
Seto pulls
Marie close to him and wraps his arms tightly around her. He smiles and kisses
her cheek lightly. He whispers, �Well, I think that�s because you are the most
beautiful girl in the world. I know that my heart hasn�t quit pounding since
you came back to me.�
�Seto�?�
Seto
interrupts Marie with a long kiss and pulls her back down to lie on the bed
with him.
�Seto, I
want to go,� says Marie. �I should get up and take a shower now that you�re
awake. I didn�t want you to wake up to find me gone.�
�You know
me too well��
�I like to
think so!�
�So then�
what am I thinking?� asks Seto with a sly smile.
�Let�s see�
does it have anything to do with dueling?� replies Marie.
�No� just
you.�
Marie whispers
into Seto�s ear telling him exactly what it was that he had been thinking. She
blushes. �Maybe later. I�m not ready for anyone to see me undressed yet. You
can take a bath with me later, if that�s okay with you.�
�Another
day then. That will be fine with me. My private bathroom has a large bathtub,�
says Seto blushing, �You�re welcome to use it.�
Marie nods
and hugs Seto tightly. She kisses his lips before climbing from the bed. She
enters the bathroom and starts to prepare her bathwater.
Seto climbs
from the bed and stretches his muscles. He hears a quiet knocking on his door.
�Enter.�
Mokuba
walks into the bedroom in his pajamas. �Seto� Marie�s gone. She isn�t in her
room!�
Seto
smiles. �She had a nightmare last night, so she came in here. She�s in taking a
bath now.�
�Oh� good!
I thought she might have left and went back to Yugi�s place,� says Mokuba with
a sigh of relief.
�Would you
go to her room and get her a change of clothes?� asks Seto.
�Oh, yeah,
sure, big brother!� exclaims Mokuba smiling. He runs from Seto�s room.
Seto heads
to his closet. He searches through the closet for several minutes and finally
pulls out the outfit he wants to wear to Battle City that day. He hears the
water turn off in the bathroom.
Mokuba
returns after a moment with a handful of clothes for Marie. �I�ll toss it into
the bathroom for Marie.�
Seto nods.
Mokuba
walks to the bathroom door and knocks loudly. �Marie! It�s Mokuba! I brought
you some clothes to change into after your bath!�
�Come on
in, Mokuba!� calls Marie from inside.
Mokuba
opens the door and closes his eyes as he walks into the bathroom.
Seto looks
into the room and sees Marie relaxing in the spacious bathtub with her arms
behind her head and her eyes closed.
Marie�s
entire body is hidden from view by the foamy white bubbles of the bathwater.
She opens her eyes and looks at Mokuba. �You can open your eyes, Mokuba. I
don�t want you tripping on anything and hurting yourself.�
Mokuba
opens his eyes. He sets the pile of clothing on the counter by the sink. �I
hope this outfit is okay. I wasn�t sure what to bring you.�
�It will be
fine. Thank you, Mokuba!� exclaims Marie smiling.
Mokuba nods
and walks out of the bathroom, closing the door tightly behind him.
�I�m going
to get dressed now, Mokuba. You should too. We�ll meet downstairs for
breakfast,� says Seto.
�Right!�
exclaims Mokuba smiling. He hurries out of the room to go get dressed.
Seto
changes into his black pants and listens to the sounds of the woman he loves
bathing in the room next door.
Marie walks
out of the bathroom brushing her wet hair. She sees Seto half dressed. �Good
morning, Seto.�
�Good
morning, Marie.� Seto turns towards Marie and smiles as he sees her in her
purple pants, purple jacket, and white T-shirt. He quickly pulls his black
mock-turtleneck over his head and smoothes it over his chest. �So� you already
got two locator cards?�
�Well,
yeah. That duelist I faced was good, but nowhere near on your level! He was
jumping up and down at the offer of winning a complete Exodia set,� says Marie
smiling.
�First
thing after breakfast, I�m taking you to see the doctor,� says Seto, �I don�t
know what can be done, but he�ll try to help you.� He pulls on his knee-length,
white, sleeveless jacket and looks at Marie.
�I want him
to make it so that I could make love to you� when we were both ready,� says
Marie smiling. She walks up to Seto and looks into his dark blue eyes.
Seto pulls
Marie into his arms so that her chest presses up tight against his own, and he
starts to rub her back gently.
Marie sighs
delightedly and wraps her arms around Seto�s back.
Seto
whispers into Marie�s ear, �What would you like me to do, Marie?�
�Do as your
heart tells you,� whispers Marie, �I will gladly let you do anything to me that
you want to do.�
Seto starts
kissing her neck as he massages her body with more strength. He kisses her lips
once before he says, �I love you.�
�You love
me? Really? Of course� you wouldn�t have said it if it wasn�t true, but you
never want Yugi to know, right?� asks Marie, �Done! I love you too!� She kisses
him. �I love you, Seto!�
�Marie!�
exclaims Seto running his hands through her hair as she continues to kiss him.
Marie
clings tight to Seto and pulls out of their long kiss with a smile.
�We should
go down for breakfast,� says Seto smiling slyly. He starts kissing Marie and
pulls her over to the bed. He lowers her back down to the bed and lies half
beside and half on top of her as he kisses her.
�What about
breakfast? Mokuba�s probably waiting!� exclaims Marie.
Seto sighs
after he places one last kiss on Marie�s lips. �All right! All done! You are
very beautiful, Marie��
Marie
slides out from beneath Seto and stands up. �Do you really think I�m
beautiful?�
�I wouldn�t
have said it if I didn�t mean it, Marie.� Seto rolls over onto his back and
looks up at Marie with a smile.
�Thank
you�� Marie blushes. She takes Seto�s hand and pulls him to his feet.
�Marie,
wait!� exclaims Seto pulling his arm away from Marie.
Marie looks
at him. �What is it, Seto?�
Seto walks
over to his dresser. He pulls open a drawer and lifts a black box from inside.
He turns and tosses the box to Marie. �It�s not a request.�

No matter what!

We�ll be friends forever�

Marie opens
the box. She looks in at the delicate gold ring with the marquis diamond. She
smiles at Seto. �Is this an engagement ring?�
�Yes. I
want you as my fianc�e, Marie. I want you to marry me. Mokuba wants you to be
his sister. I want you to be his sister as well,� says Seto smiling.
�I�ll marry
you. Of course I will!� exclaims Marie walking up to Seto. She slides her hands
down along his sides as she leans in to kiss him.
Seto grabs
Marie�s arms and pulls them up to his chest. He takes the ring from the box and
slides it onto the ring finger of her left hand. �Perfect! Now your outfit is
almost complete. You just need the duel disk now for it to be perfectly
complete and beautiful. You are beautiful, Marie! I love you! Don�t ever
change! Stay just the way you are! Well, almost just the way you are! I want to
be able to please my fianc�e.�
�Yes, Seto!
I promise! I love you too!� exclaims Marie kissing Seto, �I love you, Seto!�
�Now let�s
go join Mokuba for breakfast! I�m starving!� exclaims Seto. He grabs Marie�s
hand and pulls her out of his bedroom.
