Going out for a drink

[Marik]

Marik glared at Lunar and stood up to look her in the eyes. He slapped her upside the head and then smirked as he said, "Well, Lunar-chan. I think you should know that I don't feel pain, but I do feel contact that makes me very annoyed or irritated."

Pulling Kasumi by the wrist over to Lunar, he then held her by the hair and decided to proclaim his status again to the entire bar. "I am Master Marik, King of the Shadows, and I have authority over all of you! Kasumi here is ranked below me more-so than Lunar, but that means that I have the ability to command her to do things for me! For instance, Kasumi!" Marik shouted threateningly to the silver haired girl beside him, "I command you to bow down to me and renounce your love of Bakura!"

Kasumi looked at Marik with disbelieving eyes. How could he expect her to do that? Then, a slight thought came into her head...Perhaps Marik-sama is jealous of Bakura because Bakura has me...hmm...

"Sorry, Marik." Kasumi sighed while Marik pulled more on her pigtails. "I can't do that. I love Bakura more than I can express. I know that deep down Bakura has a soft spot for me and that will one day surface and he will be by my side forever!" Kasumi then smirked and noticed Marik's face was beginning to redden from anger. There was no way to make him prove one way or another what the anger was truly about, but she figured that it was either her refusal to obey his orders, or her refusal to renounce her love of Bakura.

Marik looked down at Kasumi and pulled her up much like a magician does with a rabbit. He glared into her pink eyes and seemed to be plotting something...something evil...something that he had tried with Lunar-chan previously...He smirked and pulled out a sake from his back pocket and drank it with his free hand. After tossing the empty bottle from his hand, he pulled Kasumi closer and noticed her face forming the look of 'Lunar. Help. Me.'

[lunar]

Lunar's personality seemed to shift a tad. She stood up, and instead of grinning in her normal crazy-someone-call-the-men-in-white grin, she grinned a more subtle, calm smile. She took out her cell phone, dialed a number, and whispered something. Then she closed her phone, and continued smiling. A few minutes later, Sparkles Da Squirrel ran into the bar, and gave Lunar a needle filled with a mysterious blue liquid. Lunar jabbed the needle into Marik's shoulder, causing his muscles to relax to the point where he couldn't stand anymore.

"hee hee. Liquified muscle relaxers. It works so much more affectively than any of the pills alone." She said. Then she looked at Marik. "sorry Marik-sama. It'll wear off in a while. I suppose I felt like helping Kasumi-chan today." Lunar said pleasantly.

[Kasumi]

Kasumi fell back onto her heels and steadied herself with one of the chairs, while rubbing the back of her head. It took her a second to realize what had happened and then she ran over to Lunar and hugged her really tightly while thanking her repeatedly. "Thank you, Lunar-chan!"

Marik was now laying on the floor and was unable to stand up or even move his limbs in a steady fashon. He had forgotten about Lunar's pet squirrel and forgot that Lunar was very good at finding ways to cripple people. He cursed under his breath and looked over at the girls. He thought to himself of what he was unable to do since his limbs were of no help to him and made a mental note to get back at Lunar later.

"Lunar-chan..." Marik called up to her while seeming rather annoyed. "Do you think it was absolutely nessessary to relax my muscles to a point where I am basically helpless? This is not something I had expected to come from a fellow professor from my psycho school."

Kasumi stopped hugging Lunar and had a slight feeling of pity for Marik. Without any kind of reasoning, she knelt down and helped pull him into a sitting position. She was mentally kicking herself for feeling the need to always help someone who was in a weak state of body or mind. She knew that this was probably a bad idea, but she began hugging Marik's shoulders and trying to make him feel better, while adding her complaints as well.

"Marik," Kasumi said softly. "I think you may need to find another outlet for your misplaced hormones. You don't have the right to treat Lunar-chan or myself like this and you should feel ashamed of yourself. We females of the psycho school aren't there for your own amusement after all. Now, I believe that you own me and Lunar an apology."

Kasumi shifted Marik around to have him face Lunar and Marik let out a rough and low "Sorry, Lunar-chan." She then sat slightly infront of him while using her arms to steady him and waited for him to have his apology spoken to her.

Marik looked at Kasumi and mentally cursed his damned flaw of being affected by the annoying emotion called guilt. Kasumi seemed to be the one person, besides Jaycee, who seemed to get that emotion to take over his brain and cause him severe anguish. He took a deep breath and let out a low "Je suis désolé, ma petite pêche." Kasumi nodded in satisfactory and helped Marik into a booth and layed his head on her lap while she wiped his forehead with a wet dish-cloth.

Marik looked over at Lunar and growled a very unhappy and irritated "Happy now, Lunar? You've made me vonerable to the damned emotion called guilt and disabled my body. Can you bring me over a drink?" Marik and Kasumi sat in the booth and waited for Lunar to answer Marik or say something to Kasumi about her pitiful actions she was acting towards Marik.

[lunar]

Lunar nodded. "Sure Marik-sama." she walked around the bar and mixed a drink that usually caused even the longest lasting alchololcis to drop down to the floor after finishing it. She handed it to Kasumi, mainly because Marik still wouldn't be able to move for about least 10 more minutes.

[Marik]

Marik was a bit side-tracked as he was watching Kasumi wipe his forehead with a cold dish-cloth. Somehow, being waited on was the one thing that came as a cloud's silver lining to him in these situations. He watched as Lunar handed Kasumi a bottle of alcohol and waited for Kasumi to help him.

Kasumi raised Marik's head and held the alcohol to his lips as he chugged the drink in under three seconds. As soon as she pulled the bottle from his lips, Marik's eyes went all misty and he murmured something in French so soft that even Kasumi couldn't translate it accurately before he fell asleep. She laid Marik's head back on her lap and ran her fingers through his spiked hair and looked up at Lunar.

"Wow, Lunar." Kasumi murmured, "What would we do without you? Again, I'm sorry for Marik's behavior. I guess it's my fault. See, I had been picking up hints that you liked Marik and I already sensed that Jaycee did too. I made the mistake of slipping it by Marik and I guess his ego just blew up to a point where he was overwhelmed with getting the truth. I'm sorry if I really ticked you off."

Kasumi lowered her eyes from Lunar and back to Marik's unconscious form on her lap. She sighed and laughed lightly to herself. To her, egotistical psychos were always the most fun to mess with, but she felt as though Lunar might hate her now. She then looked back up at Lunar and prepared herself for her response.

[lunar]

Lunar just shrugged. " I kinda do. But I like him more as a really cool psycho friend than like him like that. Besides, he was drunk. He's always been weird when he was drunk. I'm happy he stood off the table and kept his clothes on." Lunar shivered in the memory of one time where Bakura and Marik got drunk in the middle of one of their first psycho lessons.

[Kasumi]

Kasumi slightly sweatdropped when she thought about what Marik might have done with too much alcohol in his system and a full audience. She shook her head and brought her thoughts back to the conversation at hand. She looked back at Lunar and nodded quickly in agreement. She then looked back down at Marik and though about how he looked so innocent when he was asleep.

Kasumi smiled and pulled herself to the edge of the booth. Standing up and shifting Marik's body onto her back, she started walking towards the door and called back to Lunar. "I think I better take Marik home and call it a night. If there's anything I need, I'll be sure to let you know." Kasumi had one hand on the doorknob and waited for Lunar's response.

[lunar]

"... I think I'll leave to. This place is trashed.. not to mention empty. I think I'll walk around town for a while... So just call my cell if you need something, or if Marik starts going into shock because the alcohol in his system is causing his liver to shut down and disolve into mush." Lunar waved, and headed out the back door, to do whatever it is that she did late at night.
