Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Adrenaline ❯ One Last Time ( Chapter 13 )

ShadowDragon: If you haven't got a problem with my hikari, if you AREN'T planning on writing a death threat against her, if you LOVE the Marik/Ryou pairing, or you AREN'T MARIK'S GIRL, then you can skip this part, If you ARE planning to write a death threat, HAVE got a problem with my hikari, DESPISE the Marik/Ryou pairing, OR ARE MARIK'S GIRL then you better pay CLOSE attention to the following. *Glares at these people*

LusciousDragon: OK, Marik's girl, I REALLY HATE death threats, and so does my yami, she's rearing to go find your yami and kick her ass, but I told her she couldn't because it's mean, and besides, I understand your anger, but don't hate me. Is it my fault that I had a dream that was basically my inspiration for this story, and then I wrote it down, and am typing it up? OK, maybe it is my fault, but why must you hate me, I'm not evil, my first death threat, it's not fair, I'm too young to get death threats. *sob…*

ShadowDragon: Well Marik's girl, I hope you're happy, you made my hikari cry. When I find you I'm gonna kick your…

LusciousDragon: SHADOW!!!!! Also, why Ryou loves Marik will be revealed in the next chapter or so.

ShadowDragon: Sorry… But seriously, have you no decency? I mean what has my hikari done to you, has she ever been mean to you, so she wrote a story in which Ryou and Marik fall in love, big deal, just stop reading it, if it makes you so mad, or even better, write your own fan fic in which he falls in love with you, and STOP picking on my hikari!!!!!!! And that goes for all of you!!! *glares at audience*

LusciousDragon: Oh Shadow… Sorry everybody, I'm SO sorry, don't be afraid of her, she's just upset that someone made a threat against me, don't worry Marik's girl, I totally respect your love for Marik, I'm sure it's all just a big misunderstanding, I'm sure you never meant it to be a death threat, thanks for the warning, but I never go into dark alleys as it is, Shadow does that, so she can have an excuse to beat the crap out of anyone who comes onto her, and I seriously doubt anyone can beat my yami up, she's a ferocious. But don't take that as a challenge, I don't want anyone getting hurt, `cause people will get hurt when my yami is mad… But I was being a little over dramatic… I'm glad you gave me good marks… THANKS!!!!!!!!!! Also, thanks for reviewing twice.

ShadowDragon: Anyone else got a problem, take it up with me, and LEAVE MY HIKARI ALONE!!!!!!!!!

LusciousDragon: BACK TO MY STORY NOW…

"Marik? Where are we? What's happening?"

"Shh… It's all right, I've got everything handled, now come with me, I have a house here, we can get off the boat…"

Ryou was still full of questions, but realized it would be futile to ask them. So he followed Marik off the boat. They entered a large house, which was near a huge river, the Nile, behind them lay miles of desert sand, far off, pyramids rose up, sprouting from the desert sands like mirages. Marik came up behind Ryou, and said, "Isn't it beautiful?" Ryou nodded speechless. "That's the Valley of the Kings, which was the burial place of many Egyptian kings, I could take you there right now, and you could see the pyramids which make this land famous. Would you like that?" Ryou nodded again. "Well, follow me." Marik said. Saddling up two horses, he got up on one, and waited for Ryou to mount the other. Nothing happened, Ryou stood there looking at him blankly, having never ridden a horse before and not knowing what he was supposed to do. He knew he had to mount the horse, but how was beyond him, the beast was simply enormous. "Well, come on." Marik said, then realized why Ryou was just standing there, he sighed and got down. Putting their rations on the second horse, he helped Ryou mount the first, Marik's own favorite steed, Nile, a beautiful Arabian stallion. The other was a bay. After helping Ryou up, Marik himself got up, and hands around Ryou's waist, he grasped the reins, and nudging the horse's ribs Nile started across the desert sands, the soft sand shifting beneath his hooves.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ryou leaned against Marik's chest, Egypt was a strange place he thought, it is blistering hot during the day, but Marik says the nights are surprisingly cold. The rhythmic trot was making him drowsy, they were traveling at a steady pace, Nile had yet to grow weary, Arabian's being known for there endurance. The bay followed, it had been trained to follow Nile, so no one was needed to direct it. It was close to sunset, and they were nearing those spectacular tombs, which seemed to float teasingly before them, never seeming to come closer. They would get there by nightfall Marik had told him, and his eyes closed, he was only going to rest his eyes for a few seconds… just a few seconds…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Marik looked down at the boy in front of him, Ryou was asleep, the sweet expression on his face…he couldn't… His heart ripped apart, it was painful to look at such a innocent boy, knowing what would happen once they arrived at their destination…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Ryou, Ryou, wake up, we're here." He gently shook the boy, who blinked slowly, waiting for things to take shape. He gasped when he looked around, it was twilight, and they were standing in what must be the Valley of the Kings, for there were pyramids. Marik helped him down from the horse, and led him to a rock, that sprung from the ground, it was larger than Ryou, he could lay on it's flat surface, and there would still be room. Marik hoisted him up, and Ryou sat, facing Marik, his eyes swimming with wonder and awe. Marik kissed him lightly, Ryou startled, gazed into Marik's amethyst eyes, which seemed to glitter, then Ryou realized that Marik was crying, crystal tears streamed down his bronze skin. Ryou wiped the tears, confused about why Marik was crying, he kissed Marik, embracing him. Then Marik seemed to get control of his emotions and kissed Ryou deeper, while his tongue explored Ryou's mouth, Marik's hand went to his own waist, and he fingered the dagger that hung from it, pulling it from his sheath in one motion. The silver blade glinting in the moon light as he raised it…
