Welcome to Gaia! ::

( my bad nakromare)

Marik smiled. "Well that's good to know. Hm I wonder why Vairocana was clutching her shoulder if the cut was on her arm. It seems a little odd. Unless the cut had effected her shoulder as well. I don't remember much of battle city. She' didn't tell us everything. Anyways. Shall we head back to the hotel?

Marik held the door to the hotel open for Easarue. After she walked past he led her up three small flights of stairs before handing her a card key. "The room number is 201 my sister isn't here yet so you can enjoy some time on your own if you'd like.

Vairocana came out of her room ten minutes later pulling on a pair of black winter boots. The boots came over the bottom of her jeans as she tied them tightly. She tugged a small black hat over her head and then shrugged on a matching light weight but very warm black coat. Wrapping a scarf around her neck she then pulled on a pair of simple black gloves. Grabbing her keys off the table she dropped them into her coat pocket checking that her wallet was in the other pocket.

Vairocana opened the door to her house silently not bothering to even tell Yami Marik where she was going. 'Why should I? He's not my guardian or my parents. I don't have to tell him a thing.' She closed the door and locked it before heading down the hallway. Vairocana was planning on sitting at the café she had been at earlier for a small lunch and something warm to drink. Smiling, Vairocana remembered the book in her inside pocket. "Nothing is going to ruin this moment."

Yami Marik looked up from the couch he had been sitting on when he heard the door shut and lock. "She didn't say anything about leaving." He growled as he stood up and walked over to the door. Unlocking it he yanked it open and stepped out only to find an empty hallway. "Dang it!" He shouted heading back into the apartment and locking the door. 'Time to find her diary.' Upon entering her room he found that she had changed everything around. Yami Marik scowled a little before reaching an arm between the matresses. "Where is that diary?" He growled as his search came up fruitless. "She moved it."

Vairocana sighed as she walked down the icy sidewalks, past many people, and listened to cars honk at one another.

Marik smiled as he followed her. "So tell me about your millennium item. Where'd you find it and what does it do?"

Vairocana walked past Kaiba Corp. pausing to stare up at the building. 'Where Yami Marik almost got me in trouble with Kaiba.' Her fists clenched a little as she remembered the events. 'But now I have no choice but to stick with him so I don't go to that orphanage. Sister how I wish you were here.' Looking into the lobby she wondered what the Kaiba brothers did when they reached the ground floor and didn't find Yami Marik or herself there.'

Yami Marik sat on Vairocana's bed wondering where she had put her diary. 'if she moved it then she must have known that I read it. But how would she have known.' Feeling tired he began to stand up when he fell backwards onto the bed and fell asleep.

"what do you mean by the others you met?" Marik said looking out the hotel window.

Vairocana kept walking until she reached the café she had been at earlier. Ordering a mocha and slice of chocolate cheese cake she sat down to enjoy her book. 'Ah some time on my own is all I needed.' She said sitting back in the soft cushion chairs.

(( Did everyone else forget about this thread beside nakromare, mokuba, and I?))

(( sorry for not replying so quickly sweatdrop I had some major issues with school and work and home stare evil school..))

Marik turned and stared at Easarue. "What father would do such a thing?" 'Besides how my father treated me. But that's beside the point.' Marik thought as he winced remembering his past.

Vairocana stood up when she finished her drink and food. Setting the plate in a bin for dirty dishes she tossed the paper cup into the garbage. Walking back to the table she left her book at she looked out the window to find it snowing again.

Marik nodded. "My mother died giving birth to me. My life was harsh when I was around around 9 or 10 I got to see day light for the first time in my life. But it was only for one day until I broke free. That's when I became more evil and how my yami came into being." Marik went on to tell her what had happened during Battle City. "Tell me. Did you know your mother at all?"

"hm. at least you knew compassion for awhile. I grew up with someone who hated me and a sister who always followed the rules. It wasn't easy especially with no mother." Marik sighed. "But why shut yourself apart from everyone? I don't think they would have blamed you for your mother's death. How could they?"
