Cry

Disclaimer : I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh though I wish owned Malik. I also hold no rights to the song Cry by Mandy Moore. I wish I sounded that good when I sing, LOL.
AN: This is primarily an Isis fic and the featured main couple is Isis/Seto. Don't you think they'd make such a great couple? ^-^ Underlined and Italics indicate the song. Italics indicate thoughts.
Remember people, I've only seen up to episode 33 and have only heard about the newer episodes.

People always ask me why I try to get through to him. They tell me he's a cold heartless bastard that will never care about anything but himself. They say I don't stand a chance, that he'll never change his ways. I just smile a little and ignore them. They don't know what I've seen.
I'll always remember, It was late afternoon,
It lasted forever, and ended too soon.
You were all by yourself, staring up at a dark, gray sky,
I was changed
In places no one will find, all your feelings so deep inside
Was then that I realized that forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry.
Isis stood alone, staring off into the sunset, contemplating many things. Mainly the future. Without her Sennen Tauk she felt unprepared for what was going to happen next. Sure, she had discovered the future wasn't always certain but earlier she could be at least slightly prepared for it.
Mostly, her thoughts revolved around her younger brother and his future. She knew he had to be stopped at all costs, even if it required killing him. She wasn't sure that Yuugi would be willing to go that far. Supposedly, he had a way to get rid of Malik's other half, leaving only the light, or at least give him some control. There would be an improvement. A small one, but at least it would be there. Maybe it Yuugi got rid of the other half, she could reach the real Malik.
If not... that's why she kept a small dagger hidden on her at all times. With Malik around, many times it was kill or be killed. She took it out and watched the remaining rays of the sun glint off it. The dagger that may possibly bring an end to Malik's madness. The dagger that might kill him. It was a horrible thought, but if it came to that, she would do it without hesitation. She quickly put the dagger away, not wanting to think about it anymore.
She would let Yuugi try his way first. If it didn't work, well, she would think of a more thorough plan when the time came.
She wasn't taking any chances. She had followed Yuugi and his friends carefully, not wanting to miss out on a single opportunity to try to reach her brother. Of course, she had followed them without being noticed by them, unlike Kaiba. He would join them once in awhile, then returning to his secret following which wasn't exactly so secret. Isis knew exactly where he was when he was trying to remain hidden.
The idiot Kaiba; no, the bastard Kaiba was a much better description. She had had only a few face to face encounters with him and none had been very pleasant. 'Like it's really my fault my brother is a psychotic bastard.' She could imagine how Kaiba would react if his brother suddenly went crazy; he wouldn't give a damn. She had tried to do something about her brother, she was going to continue trying, and, by Ra, she would kill him if she had to.
She sighed as she turned away, walking back to her hotel. The falling darkness provided a perfect cover for her to go by unnoticed. She felt nervous walking along, not knowing what was going happen next.
'Damn Kaiba. Why'd he have to take away my sense of security?'
She halted when she saw him up ahead, staring at the darkening sky. She ducked behind a tree, peering around the corner to see if he had noticed her. Obviously not, he was still just standing there. "What the hell's his problem?" Isis muttered under her breath. "A insignificant cat look at him the wrong way?"
But, he didn't seem to be angry, from where she was, it seemed as if was feeling no emotion at all. That proved all her theories of him being a soulless jackass. She reached for her dagger; she could free the world from its misery if she killed him right now.
Her grip tightened and relaxed on the hilt as she contemplated her choices. She could kill him; if there was anything she learned from her brother it was how to kill without leaving a trace. He would be lying dead without ever knowing what had happened. Then again, it might be a mistake. For all she knew, he might have an important role to play that. She let go of her dagger completely; Malik would probably kill him soon enough anyway.
Still, she couldn't help wonder why he was just standing there, looking up at the sky. She stepped out of the safety of the shadows, her curiosity finally getting the better of her. "Kaiba, just what the hell are you doing?"
He briefly glanced her way, a startled expression on his face. "My business is my own. I suggest you stay out of it, bitch," he said, walking off, leaving her standing there in stunned silence.
Not because he had called her a stupid bitch, that much was expected. When he turned around to look at her, she had seen the unshed tears in his eyes and that was something she had never expected to see. There was also something else, something she wasn't so sure she wanted to admit at the time. When she looked into his eyes, she felt like she had the power of her Tauk back, and it was almost as if she had seen her future in his eyes.
It was late in September, and I've seen you before
You were always the cold one, but I was never that sure
You were all by yourself staring up at a dark gray sky, I was changed
In places no one will find all your feelings so deep inside
Was then that I realized that forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry
That was when I changed my opinion about Seto Kaiba. I no longer saw him as a completely cold, heartless, bastard. In many ways, he now reminds me of my brother before his other half took over; you had to look to see the good in his heart, but it's there; he cares about those that are close to him.
Unpredictable as it may sound, I believe I, Isis Isthar, am falling in love with that rich bastard, Seto Kaiba.
I wanted to hold you, I wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you, I wanted to make your everything alright
I'll always remember it was late afternoon
In places no one will find all your feelings so deep inside
Was then that I realized that forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry.
