[Usagi stiffened in Marik's hold, unsure of what was going on. She had come through the hotel door and then she was suddenly pulled into an embrace. The scent of Marik's perfume calmed her, reminded her of what was going on. Then she heard his voice, saying he was glad she was okay. Those words caused her lower lip to tremble and a lump started to form in her throat.
He had been worried about her. He wanted to make sure she was okay. If he was evil, if he was still the same person as before, he wouldn't bother with her, right?
No, Usagi believed he had changed. This was still the boy she fell in love with and Bakura had to be wrong. Her friends were on the fence. They were starting to suggest they all keep their distance until they figure out more information about their new enemy. If they were connected to the Millennium Items or not. It was hard to say how forthcoming Marik would be with information regarding the Items, since...he wasn't forthcoming about Battle City.
The blonde still hadn't told her friends anything about the videos she found, or the conversation she had with Marik on the school rooftop.
Maybe...maybe this was all some sort of scheme by Bakura? Revenge for what happened in Battle City? He might have been the one who sent Usagi those videos in the first place, she didn't know. But, what she did know was that Marik had changed. He was different, and she believed that in her heart of hearts. Her arms came around his waist to return the embrace.
She took a deep breath, doing her best to keep herself from crying. If she started to cry, then she would sob and she wouldn't be able to speak coherently. ]
I-I'm okay. N-no one was hurt. [Another deep breath, another moment to gather her thoughts. If she wanted to know the truth...now might be the right time.]
Marik...[She tightened her hold of him then, bracing herself for his reaction.] Who is Bakura?
