Pre: Hiya chicca's!

Yami: Not everyone's female ya know.

Pre: *Nodding* I know.

Yami: So why do you call everyone chicca?

Yugi: Us guys will get offended!

Pre: *Shrugs* I call everyone that, I always have.

Yami: *Incredulously* You calls guys chicca?

Pre: *Nodding again* Of course.

Yugi: O…kay

Pre: *Snickering* That's because I'm a nono.

Yugi: A nono?

Yami: *Covering Pre's mouth* Nothing you need to know about Aibou.

Yugi: Huh?

Pre: *Shaking free of Yami's hold* Is anyone gonna do the disclaimer for me?

*Yugi and Yami back away*

Pre: *Glares warningly* Chicca's…

Yugi: *Pushing Yami forward* Yami will!

Yami: Hey!

Pre: … I'm waiting

Yami: Jeeze, where's M when you need her? *Sigh* Pre doesn't own anything, at all whatsoever, never has and never will.

Pre: Thanks a lot!

Yami: *Grinning* My pleasure now can we get on with the chap?

Pre: *Sulkily* Fine. I'm sorry about the shortness of this one! And I'm really sorry that I didn't translate 'Watashi no Tenshi' which means My Angel I promise I'll add them next time!

Malik sighed heavily as he trudged along causing the smaller boy beside him to look up enquiringly.

"Malik?" He questioned softly.

Malik glanced down at his tri-haired friend and smiled slightly. "It's nothing, Yugi."

Yugi frowned as they stopped outside his gate, glancing nervously at the twitching curtains before turning to face his friend. "Don't worry." He said reaching out a gentle hand to cover the taller boys. "Everything will be alright."

Malik smiled pulling his hand from the gentle grasp and pushing the smaller boy through the open gate. "Go on you don't want to be late."

Yugi glanced at the window again before nodding nervously. "Are you going to be ok?"

Malik smiled and nodded before continuing on stopping at the end of the street to turn and wave to his watching friend before disappearing round the corner.

***********************

Please, please forgive me,

But I won't be home again.

Maybe someday you'll have woke up,

And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:

"Isn't something missing?"

***********************

Marik stopped laughing abruptly causing Jay, Seto and Yami to look over at him curiously.

"Marik?" Jay questioned as she watched the blond reach a shaking hand to his head. "Are you alright?"

Marik nodded smiling tightly over at them but remaining silent as he turned to face the window. A sharp almost painful tug pulled at his heart as his reflection stared back at him.

Jay, Seto and Yami glanced at each other concerned. First Bakura starts acting strange and now Marik, what in gods' name was going on?

Marik unaware of his friends concern, watched in warped fascination, as his reflection seemed to change before his eyes. The hair became longer and less unruly, the features softer more youthful and the eyes seemed to widen an air of innocence radiating from them.

The pull in his heart became stronger as though his very soul was calling out to him.

***********************

You won't cry for my absence, I know -

You forgot me long ago.

Am I that unimportant...?

Am I so insignificant...?

Isn't something missing?

Isn't someone missing me?

***********************

Malik stopped at the crossing his eyes drawn to the rundown apartment across the street as his hands closed tightly around the object in his pocket. His eyes ran over the building till they come to rest on one window in particular.

Malik was jerked out of his stupor as a car horn blazed angrily at him causing him to jump back in fright. He hadn't even realised that he'd started forward across the road.

Malik sighed and stepped back ignoring the angry shouts of the motorist he turned around and headed back down the street.

He had a sudden need to be closer to the past, to be back home.

***********************

Even though I'd be sacrificed,

You won't try for me, not now.

Though I'd die to know you love me,

I'm all alone.

Isn't someone missing me?

***********************

"Marik, honey, are you ok?" Mrs. Miyazaki asked worriedly, as she bent to place the buns she'd been making into the oven. She watched the blond egyptian jerk his gaze from the window to glance over at her bringing a hand up to rub his forehead.

"I'm fine Mrs. Zak." Marik mumbled.

"Marik?" Jay asked jumping up from her seat at the table as Marik stumbled slightly.

Marik glanced at her, shaking his head as though to clear it. "I just need some air." He mumbled as he walked to the open kitchen door.

Mrs. Miyazaki exchanged a worried look with her daughter and her daughter's friends as they watched Marik hurry down the path.

Marik closed his eyes as he cleared the house concentrating on the tug he unknowingly began to follow his heart.

***********************

Please, please forgive me,

But I won't be home again.

I know what you do to yourself,

Shudder deep and cry out:

"Isn't something missing?

Isn't someone missing me?"

***********************

The blond egyptian ran, ignoring the stares of the people he passed on the way, his head pounding with each step and his heart seeming to beat faster and faster.

He refused to pause as he ran across the road dodging the oncoming traffic with ease.

Vaguely he felt the tingling beginning in his right hand as it closed over the familiar, comforting shape that suddenly materialised there.

***********************

Even though I'd be sacrificed,

You won't try for me, not now.

Though I'd die to know you love me,

I'm all alone.

Isn't someone missing me?

***********************

Malik sighed as he entered the park going over to sit dejectedly on one of the swings he began to swing gently back and forth.

Dull eyes looked outwards, trapped in inner turmoil, as he watched a group of children run past. A young girl called out to them as she tried to keep up but ended up tripping over and falling to the floor. Malik watched as the child's friends turned at her cry and hurried towards her. He watched as they gently helped her to her feet, comforting her all the while.

"I wish you were here." He murmured. "Without you I'm nothing, no one."

***********************

And if I bleed, I'll bleed,

Knowing you don't care.

And if I sleep just to dream of you

And wake without you there,

Isn't something missing?

Isn't something...

***********************

Marik stopped as he reaches the park his hands on his knees as he struggles for breath. His eyes darting around briefly before coming to rest on his mirror image.

As though sensing him there Malik's head jerks up his eyes locking with his as hope flitters across his face.

"Marik…?" He gasps in disbelief.

Marik nods taking a hesitant step forward.

Malik stops swinging, tearing his gaze from his other, his eyes fall to the ground as though afraid of being rejected.

His eyes remain trained to the ground as hurried footsteps get closer and a pair of familiar legs come into view.

A strangled gasp works its way from his throat as his eyes catch sight of the object clasped in the others hand and his eyes fly up to meet Marik's a question shimmering in their depths.

Marik nods reaching out a hand to cup the others cheek tenderly. "Makky…"

Malik's flings himself into his others waiting arms as Marik wraps his arms around him, clinging to him as though he never wants to let him go…and he doesn't.

***********************

Even though I'd be sacrificed,

You won't try for me, not now.

Though I'd die to know you love me,

I'm all alone.

Isn't someone missing me?
