Chapter 1: Discovery
Marik awoke to the sound of a knock. Yawning, he opened his eyes to find himself face to face with a girl who was still peacefully sleeping. The knock came again, but louder this time.
"Coming!" Marik announced, a bit annoyed to be woken up so early in the morning. Heading towards the door, he opened it to find his servant, Odion, on the other side.
"What do you want Odion?" Marik said with irritation.
"Master Marik, we have news on the Millennium Puzzle…"
With that, Marik's eyes widened, and he quickly pulled Odion inside.
"Wh- w-- What did you say??" Marik demanded, shaking his servant by the shoulders.
"The Millennium Puzzle, Master. Our spy in the Royal Palace has discovered the ancient scriptures and the way of obtaining the Puzzle from the Pharaoh."
Marik appeared to be staring at a corner in the room. But to him, he wasn't seeing a corner. In his mind, he was envisioning that corner as a grand throne, where he (and not Yami), was sitting at, and all of Egypt bowed before him. 'Marik is our Pharaoh! Marik is our Pharaoh! Marik is our Phar…'
His idle thoughts were cut off by a sudden voice.
"Well? How exactly does one obtain the Millennium Puzzle?" a female voice suddenly asked. Both heads whirled around to find the speaker sitting on the bed with her hands crossed, and a serious expression written across her face.
Turning back to Marik, Odion continued, "Well Master Marik… and Mistress Rui-en, our spy has discovered that according to the ancient scriptures, to whomever holds the heart of the Pharaoh holds his will, and through the will of the Pharaoh, they shall obtain whatever they wish from him... even if it's the Millennium Puzzle."
Marik sat in silence for a moment. Whoever held the heart of the Pharaoh? Whoever Yami fell in love with… would be his undoing! It was almost as if whoever Yami would fall in love with would have their own personal Millennium Rod that worked only on the Pharaoh, and it just so happened to be the Pharaoh that Marik couldn't control with his rod.
"So how is the Pharaoh's love life?" the Rui-en asked.
"Well…" Odion began, trailing off.
"Well?" Marik demanded, angry at his servant's lack of confidence in answering.
"It appears as if the Pharaoh holds almost no interest for women. He treats them indifferently. He's never been seen with any intimately, in fact, he hasn't been seen with any females except for servants and those of the high court during royal meetings."
There was a look of amusement on Marik's face as he cocked one eyebrow up and tried to hold in a snicker.
Odion continued, "There has even been some speculation that… well, the Pharaoh, erm, may be… well… a favorer of the same sex, but of course, that is all in speculation."
Marik couldn't hold it anymore, "Hahahaha… we have a GAY Pharaoh! Oh by mighty Osiris and Ra -- HAHAHAHA!"
"Master Marik, there is no proof of that either. As I stated before it is all speculation."
Marik couldn't stop his laughter, until a rude slap halted his howling. Looking a bit abashed, he found Rui-en looking irately at him.
"Marik, how do you know that the Pharaoh doesn't purposely avoid women? What if by chance… he was afraid of them? Because he knows by giving his heart, he's giving everything he has away."
"Or… he's just gay!" Marik erupted once more with laughter, but it wasn't until quite a few seconds later that Rui-en's words finally sank in. It made sense… if the Pharaoh was in fact giving away everything when he fell in love, then why fall in love at all?? A man with his riches would obviously want to keep it all to himself, and not risk the chance of having it snatched away some woman. Looking a bit disappointed, Marik began to think. How was he going to make a man who avoided women, fall in love with one? And how was HE going to obtain the millennium puzzle? Or perhaps… if the Pharaoh WAS gay… he could just go for him himself just to get the job done - but he quickly interrupted his own thoughts and slapped himself silly for even thinking of such a thing. He was Marik Ishtar for Ra's sake, and he never, ever, did his own dirty work.
"Marik, I have plan," Rui-en said, as she gave Marik a coy smile. "Just leave it to me…"
Marik stared at her questionably, but before he could question her, Rui-en was out the door.

Liang: Well? What did you think?
Marik: I think Yami is gay O__o
Liang: That's... not... yet.. proven.
Marik: It's a hypothesis waiting to be proven.
Liang: ... anyways, review please ^__^
