No Way

Marik came home, back to the game shop. He opened the door, stepped inside, and shut it gently. "Bakura!," he yelled. "Yugi! I'm home!" Marik just had a doctor's appointment, he needed to get his shots updated. He hated going to the doctor, especially when the poked things into him. It hurt! He was hoping he could get some sympathy cuddles from Bakura that night, and possibly some sweet kisses.

I saw a shadow, and I knew that it wasn't mine
You and her, I know that you were intertwined
Even though, her clothes were on and everything
Your eyes were somewhere else and you were both to blame

Nobody responded. 'That's odd,' Marik thought to himself, frowning. 'Why hasn't anybody responded? Bakura usually comes bounding downstairs to see me...' Marik started to poke his head around the shop. It was awfully dark, which was also quite odd. Perhaps they were saving electricity? It felt quite eerie, and he had had plenty of that earlier that day. He started to make his way upstairs, to see if he could find either Yugi or Bakura anywhere. Perhaps they left to get groceries?

Don't say a word
I'm sure that it won't be enough
To erase what I know just happens now, what dreams are made of
This is my house and I won't allow the disrespect
Baby, don't look at me like that
I don't belong to you, run away

It felt extraordinarily quiet and odd going up darkened stairs. Usually the lights were on! What was going on? Marik could feel a shiver run up his spine, he really wished Bakura was around, "Bakura?" he piped frightened. "Yugi? You guys home?" After what seemed like an eternity of walking up the stairs calling their names, he reached the top. He turned to the left towards his and Bakura's bedroom, perhaps Bakura was sleeping. He tended to do that. It was 2:00 in the afternoon after all. Marik approached his door, and opened it quietly. The lights were off. "Bakura?" he called. After his eyes adjusted to the dark, he could barely make out two shadows sitting on his bed.

'Cause baby now that you're caught what am I supposed to say
When you're so wrong in what you did, but I still feel this way
I can't believe it, or forget it, what I saw today
And if you're wondering if I'm staying, the answer is no way
No way (I can't believe it)
No way (I can't believe it babe)
No way

Marik dropped everything he was holding. He could see the shadows, quite evidently it was his Bakura, his Bakura kissing and touching somebody else...he thought he saw spiked hair, but he wasn't quite sure. His eyes were blurring from the tears forming, nothing seemed to make any sense. All that mattered was that his Bakura was doing those precious things to somebody other than him. However, things started to make some sense in his mind, putting two and two together...

Thought that I saw something I know did not belong to me
But then I thought that there's no way you would do that to me
And then last week, when you went outside to use your phone
I felt a chill, but told myself that it was from the cold
And I just woke up, but I wish that it was a nightmare
'Cause when I have those, it isn't real like this one is
This is my heart, and I won't allow the disrespect
Baby, don't look at me like that
I don't belong to you, run away

He did remember seeing some of Yugi's things lying around in their bedroom. His belt, a fishnet shirt, maybe a shoe. Marik didn't think much of it, he knew that they all lived together, sometimes they had fun like that. Heck, some of his things usually wound up in Yugi's room. But it never was anything like clothing...unless he knew Yugi was borrowing something. But Bakura never borrowed any of Yugi's clothes. Marik did on occasion, but not the ones he'd seen lying around. Either way he ignored it. It didn't mean anything. However, occasionally Bakura would get text messages while with Marik...and he'd just say it's Yugi checking up on them...once again Marik never thought of it they did all live together after all....

But suddenly it made sense. Marik let out a cry, and turned to leave.

'Cause baby now that you're caught what am I supposed to say
When it's so wrong that what you did but I still feel this way
I can't believe it, or forget it, what I saw today
And if you're wondering if I'm staying, answer is no way
No Way (I can't believe it)
No Way (I can't believe it babe)
No Way

As Marik turned to leave the shadows broke apart. The image resembling Bakura got up swiftly, and headed to the door, "Marik?" Bakura's voice called. But Marik was already headed downstairs. Bakura ran to the bottom, calling out Marik's name, "Marik? Marik where are you? It's really not what you think!"

"I know exactly what I saw, you two timing slut..." Marik sobbed back. He was sitting at the table, putting his shoes on.

Get your things and go
You can take the dinner leftover from last night
I made you your favorite,
Goodbye

"But, Marik, no..." Bakura started to stutter, his own tears forming.

"No, no, I know what I saw, just....no!" Marik lashed out, to hurt to think or form words. He knew what he saw. He knew it was wrong. Lights out. Two shadows intertwined. It didn't make sense yet it did. How could have he trusted him? He grabbed his jacket and put it back on. So much for sympathy cuddles or kisses tonight. He would much rather get ten shots from the doctor than this. Bakura attempted to give him a hug, but Marik tore out of it, and he stormed out the door, leaving Bakura standing there, weeping silently, asking, "What have I done? Oh Lord..."

'Cause baby now that you're caught what am I supposed to say
When it's so wrong that what you did but I still feel this way
I can't believe it, or forget it, what I saw today
And if you're wondering if I'm staying, answer is no way
No Way (I can't believe it)
No Way (I can't believe it babe)
No Way

"Serenity?" Marik choked into his phone. Serenity and him had become great friends. Plus her place was a very safe and warm place he felt, she was a lesbian living with her partner, there would be no pressures. And she was sympathetic, not really connected to either Bakura or Yugi. Marik could stay there for a while.

"Yes?" she replied, "What's up?"

"Do you mind if I stay at your place for a while?" Marik was finding it hard to hold the tears back, which was rather unfortunate since the cold, brisk air only made his tears sting his face that much more.

"Oh no!! What happened Marik – tell me?"

"It's...it's a long story. I'll have to tell you when I get there. I...I need to focus on walking."

"Take your time, and soon as you get here Miriam and I will make you some Hot Chocolate and set you up by the fire. Lots of love and hugs, see you when you get here."

Marik smiled and hung up the phone. He looked towards the sky. Why did things have to be so?

Heeeey
Oooooh
No Way
No Way
