“Ra didn’t have a mother.”<br>
You sighed, rolling your eyes. “Hullo, Marik.”<br>
The blond Egyptian was standing in front of you, looking amused. Blonde Egyptian—must be some kind of oxymoron, you thought absently. Then you realized his yami wasn’t around.
“Where’s Malik?” you asked, tilting your head.
He shrugged. “He said he’d meet us there.”<br>
“Oh…”
Suddenly he grabbed your arm and pulled you; just giving you time to close the door behind you. Letting out an “Oro!” you tried not to fall over as he drug you down the street.
“We can’t be late!” he said.
“Why?”<br>
“I want to be there when Sakura…”
You stopped listening.
As soon as someone got him started on Sakura it was impossible to shut him up. Marik knew everything about her and they weren’t even dating. Sometimes it felt like you were only there to tell him what she said about him.
Suddenly you wished Malik had picked you up. Not only would you be riding on his motorcycle, but he wouldn’t ramble on about some random chick. Mainly because you were the only girl he could stand being around for any period of time.
That’s why it was so funny when he was paired up with a girl who was not you. He would give the teacher one of his infamous death glares, before going stoic and doing only what he had to, silently.
You grinned at the memories.
“Earth to Melody!?”<br>
“The rain fell for forty days and forty nights!” you yelped, jumping.
Silence.
“What are you talking about?” Marik asked.
You grinned sheepishly. “Er…Noah?”<br>
Marik just stared at you blankly for a couple minutes. You stared back just as blankly.
He grinned. “That reminds me! Sakura is Jewish.”<br>
And off he went again.
You felt your shoulders droop. Was there any possible way to talk to him without something reminding him of her? It was as if his obsession with getting the three god-cards was replaced with Sakura.
And Sakura pushed you out of his mind completely.
Not realizing you had started lagging behind, you stared at your feet. The day had begun out nicely, until Marik started off about Sakura.
Let me explain why you resented the whole Sakura bit, alright?
Not only have you known Marik—and Malik—for six months, but you’ve also developed crushes on the both of them. Now, the one for Marik is stronger, since Malik isn’t a romantic type at all. It hurt to hear about Sakura, because before her, Marik had seemed to be crushing on you.
Not anymore.
“…so I think I’m going to actually talk to her today and—”
“SHUT UP!” you screamed, finally snapping.
He looked back at you with big eyes. You didn’t notice.
“I AM SO SICK OF HEARING ABOUT SAKURA!! I DON’T CARE! DO YOU REALIZE THAT YOU TOTALLY IGNORE MY BIRTHDAY BECAUSE YOU’RE TOO BUSY OBSESSING OVER THE STUPID COW WHEN SHE LIKES MALIK!!!?!?”<br>
As soon as you said it, you realized what you had said and wanted to take it back. One look at his face and you could see the crestfallen look.
“Marik…” you mumbled.
He just stared at you. “But…Malik doesn’t like anyone!”<br>
You flinched. That crush for Malik was still there.
“I could…act like Malik! I’m his hikari! She won’t know the difference!” He marched off, planning his very own make-over.
“You should’ve told him.”<br>
“Shut up, Malik,” you growled, glaring at him.
He just gave you an empty look, before shrugging. “Are you gonna go after him to save his pride?”<br>
You frowned.
What should you do?
Skip—Malik [Chapter 6]
Ignore and keep going—Marik [Chapter 7]

Priestess: I know! Well unless you count Kittie…<br>
