The Darkness Within
Isis sat staring out the window of her small apartment. Worry crossed her face; Malik had not been home for close to a week now.
"Malik...where are you" She turned away from the window and started to walk to their small kitchen. A sudden pain made her double over in agony.
'This is bad...without Malik here I cannot control my Yami much longer'
You know you want to let me out a controlling voice called to Isis within her head.
Isis shook her head and tried to calm her senses.
'I can make it...till Malik returns'
A knock at the door forced her to stand and attempt to walk. Upon reaching the door she opened it to see Bakura standing there, looking a little more than pissed off.
"Where is your brother?" He asked, a slight edge to his voice.
Alarm grew in Isis' expression. "You mean, he's not with you?" She asked Bakura.
"What?! He's not here?"
Isis shook her head.
"Damn!" Bakura cursed as he raced down the hall and out of the apartment complex.
"Wait Bakura!" She called a little too late.
'What's going on?'

Malik awoke in a small and stuffy room. Pain raced through his head. Coming to his senses he noticed that his arms were chained to a wall and his legs were strapped together.
"What's going on?!" He demanded. No answer. Not that he expected one anyways.
Good you're awake His Yami spoke up.
Why?
You've been out cold for 2 days and for some reason I can't separate bodies with you
What?
I've tried, there's some sort of magic force field that is keeping me from creating my own body
Great. Where are we anyways?
Who knows
Malik cut off conversation with his Yami as he heard footsteps nearing the caged room he was trapped in. A dark figure appeared in front of the bars that contained Malik.
"Who are you?" Malik asked. The figure did not reply.
"Answer me!" He angrily yelled. Instead of an answer he received an electrical shock through his body that yet again rendered him unconscious.
---
Yami, where are we? Ryou asked his dark half.
Keep quiet, you don't need to know
But...
I TOLD you to shut up! Now either do so or I'll shut you up myself!
Ryou cringed, sure, he had never been effective talking with his Yami but still Ryou had never seen him so edgy before.
'Better not test my luck' Ryou thought to himself, he was still recovering from the past beating his Yami had given him.
Bakura looked cautiously around, Malik had never been gone this long before. Where the hell was he?
Two days ago Malik had gotten in an argument with Bakura, was that what this was about? Bakura thought about what he and Malik had said...
"You don't understand! I can't leave my sister, you don't know what goes on inside of her. You'll never know!"
"What's there to know, so what her Yami wants to come out sometimes? So does yours!"
"But you don't know what kind of damage hers could do. You're so thick headed. Even if I spelled it out for you you'd never understand!" Malik yelled at Bakura.
"Maybe you're just too weak to deal with it! You're starting to sound like my host (Ryou), it's disgusting" Bakura shot back. Malik just couldn't take it anymore. He gathered his strength and punched Bakura square in the jaw causing him to hit the wall of the small alley they were talking.
Without even considering what he had just done Malik had run off.
"That idiot, running off like that" Bakura frowned. This stupid search wasn't getting him anywhere. The sky was beginning to show signs of sunset as Bakura reached "his" home. He needed time to think. Returning to his soul room was his only alternative; he was too weak to create a body for himself now.
Yami?
Go away
But I need to ask you something
What? You have 2 seconds
Why are you looking for Malik, don't you think he can take care of himself?
Go away, 2 seconds are up
Ryou half laughed as he regained control of his body.
'Just to think...Yami...actually feeling concern' Ryou changed for bed and fell asleep rather quickly, needing sleep for school the next day.
Meanwhile Yami Bakura sat in his soul room, thinking of what Ryou had said.
'Damn...I think he's right. Why should I care what happened to Malik. It's not my problem' Bakura forced Malik from his mind and focused on other things, Yami Yugi.

Isis' screams filled the night. The pain was coming to her more constantly now and she couldn't stop it.
"Malik..." She sobbed. "Please help..." Her tears hit the floor of their apartment.
Just let me out...it'll be less painful that way Isis' Yami called.
No...I promised to never hurt others because of you...I can't break that promise Isis tried to force her Yami from her thoughts, but to no avail.
Come on...I won't hurt anyone. You know I won't Her Yami said in a sinister voice.
You're only trying to get free now because my brother isn't here...meaning his Yami, who is the only person who can control you, can't keep you from emerging
You got it
Isis screamed as another wave of pain hit her and caused her to fall face down on the floor.
You're getting weak...I know it. So I'll be out in no time
A final scream echoed in the air before everything fell silent.

"Isis!" Malik shot awake. Everything was dark; he could barely even see the end of his prison.
'What was that dream I had?' he asked himself.
It must be Isis' Yami...I'm sorry Malik but I think she's free
No...it can't be
I feel another source of power besides that of Bakura's and Yami Yugi's
It can't be her though...we've been able to control her for several years now and she hasn't even put up a fight!
I'm unable to tell as of now but I think the reason we're here...someone wants Yami Isis to awaken
They can't know...nobody knows of her title...as...
The Goddess of Destruction

Nuriko- Ah, that's terrible. I have such a writer's block and I'm only done the first chapter. Oh and to the reader, gomen if it's a little OOC.
Yami Bakura- That's what you get for having too many stories going at once.
Nuriko- Don't remind me --; I hope Isis doesn't feel terrible from all the screamin I made her do...
Malik- Eh...she'll live.
Isis- MALIK!!!
Malik- See, she's fine.
Nuriko- Anyways, please review and no flames!
