Hotaru Pov

That dream...it felt so real that I really met the good Marik Ishtar in the past. He didn't want me to go and I know that for some certain strange way of him having jealousy filled inside of him.

"That's the problem from what happened to me today. I feel so alone. Why should I be worshiping the Pharaoh?" I notice a dark side of Yami Marik has become so numb to come out the side of his face.

'Now that I understand clearly of how Marik's evil side was born. He must obtain the dark side and let the goodness come in.' I thought. 

I woken up to find myself in bed that I notice we were not in the air anymore. We were now on the ground that I notice Marik was leaning against the wall as he notice that I was awake.

"It's about time you've woken up." He said as I rolled my eyes and sat up straight.

"Where is everyone?" I asked him as he shrugged.

"That's what I want to know  and if you have forgotten that we're being hooked inside some game device that the other's in and I don't have any attention to rescue them." He said in a cold tone of his as I got out of bed.

"Well...you save me Marik. Thank you." I smiled as he scoffed.

"Don't be too happy once we face each other in a duel that is going to be the price of your soul. I suggest you don't get in my way and I won't get in yours." He said as I sighed.

"Before I do go there is something else I want to ask you." I said as he raised an eyebrow patiently waiting.

"What is it?" 

"Its just...you're different from the other's and...you've been so thoughtful to me that I never expect someone to care. My friends do show care and I don't know what i'll do without you being my true friend. What do say? Friends?" I held my hand out as he stare at it emotionless.

"Friend? You don't understand a damn thing when it comes to those that meant to be alone and someone else's ways. What I do know is that you are someone else other than yourself. Now be gone devil." He turn his heel leaving me in the room heartbroken that I felt a sudden darkness being controlled inside of me.

"He's right Hotaru. You don't have any friends or family care that you have become distant towards them that you are forgotten." The dark presence whisper in my head that I was emotionless than I was ever before.

"I must find my friends so that I can end this goodness and fall into the darkness." I whisper to myself as I use my power's to take me to them.

Marik Pov

Why did I have such stupid words to make her unwanted with me? It's not like she understands my problems when she could have a better life than mine. Then again, she did say she wanted me as her friend and I don't know what it does feel like to have one when you're leaving in the dark. 

I am in Hotaru's room sensing that something more powerful is in here that I could ever imagine. When I looked under the bed I found a book that has written spells that I thought were not true to me until now.

'Why is Hotaru hiding this book?' I thought as I picked it up to flip through the pages. 

One spell caught my eye when I found someone that look's a lot like Hotaru and that's when I notice it was her...mother. For some reason I felt like I knew that she lost her dear mother in some accident I can't imagine for some dreary past she's had. Unlike my father who wanted me to be the tome keeper until Pharaoh's arrival returns; thinks it's better fitting for me to be living like that for the rest of my life. I never thought that Hotaru and I could have similar paths between us two and what is in store for us that is yet to come. 

"I should've never had doubted her friendship that she wanted from these other's mortals that only treat her like a waste of time. I need to apologize." I said to myself as I went to go find Hotaru and when I return to my room she wasn't there. Where could she have gone?
