Long Time, No See

[Marik Ishtar]

Marik walked down the sidewalk, his hands in his pockets. He wore a black shirt along with black kahkis, his Millienium Rod in his back loop of his pants. After his adventure with Atem and Yugi, he was returned his family's item, along with his sister getting her's back. He even heard Bakura got his Ring back. He thought about his past, when he had his run with darkness, even to the point he was control by a fiend, his darker half.

He shook this thought out. He didn't want to remember that anymore. The fact that the darkness in him was trapped in The Shadow Realm made him feel betterm. He owed his whole life to Atem and Yugi. Without them, the darkness would half killed him, Odion, and everyone that he faced. He was a true madman at that point.

That's why he was here near this game store. He wanted to see Yugi again. To see an old friend, well what he considered an old friend.

[yugi]

Coincidentally, Yugi was walking down the same path. Atem was dormant, "sleeping" you could call it. He had become somewhat lazy on certain days but Yugi did not mind...he was after all his dearest friend.

As Yugi got closer he thought he saw someone familiar and then gave a bright smile and a wave. "Marik!" He was at an almost sprint now, and soon was in front of his friend, still giving off that same smile he had. "Marik! I didnt expect to see you here! How are you doing??" Having grown slightly nosy over the yeas, he looked around to Marik's back and saw the rod and for a moment....a thought crept up in his mind but he banished it. Marik's bad days were long gone...so he hoped. "Still carrying it back there?" he asks pointing to the Millennium Rod, "Not exactly a safe place...You need to be careful with that." That last comment was made with a playful sounding voice. "So what brings you around here?"
