Part One: Banished Escapee
Chapter Two: The Voice
"I'm goin' for a walk. Be back later." Malik yelled back in the house. He didn't even wait for Ishizu to give permission before he shut the door. He did this often. The walks helped to calm his nerves. You could see every star, like diamonds sown into midnight-blue velvet. There was no sound but the slight breeze of the wind. So peaceful, a good place to collect one's thoughts from earlier.
Unexpectedly, Malik felt a presence behind him. He automatically went for the dagger strapped to his side under his shirt. Malik turned around, and to his surprise, no one was there. He turned again, feeling the same malevolent presence again. Nothing. The wind picked up rapidly, tossing sand with it. Malik had to cover his eyes, not wanting sand in them. His hearing was as good as ever, though. Oddly, the wind made no sound. The sound he did hear was one Malik thought he'd never hear again.
"Ore-sama is coming for you, hikari-pretty!" Malik's heart skipped a beat at that. It couldn't be…
The wind then died down. Malik ran home as fast as he could. This was NOT good.
"Ishizu!" Malik yelled, slamming open the door and walking toward the kitchen, where Rishid and Ishizu were cleaning up the remains from dinner.
"What?" Ishizu asked, slightly confused at Malik's outburst.
"He's-he's back."
"Who's back?" Rishid asked.
"Yami no Malik." Said Malik, his voice a whisper. As if calling his name would make him appear. Ishizu dropped the pan she was holding. The sound went unnoticed.
"Are you sure, Master Malik?"
Malik nodded. "I heard his voice."
It was another day in the Kame Game Shop. The nightmare of the week before was a faint memory in the back of Yugi's mind. As Yugi watched the shop, he sifted through the mail.
"Bill…junk…junk…junk…what's this?" Yugi had come across a letter addressed to him from Malik Ishtar.
(Yami, you might want to come out for this.)
((What is it?))
(Malik sent us a letter.)
((Read it.))
Dear Pharaoh and Yugi,
My dark half is back. He has somehow escaped the Shadows, but is using them as a refuge. I have no idea how he freed himself. Maybe he learned a few things from Bakura. I don't know. All I know is that we need to meet. Ishizu, Rishid and I will be waiting for you in the Doubletree hotel lobby on the 13th at 4:00p.m.
Sincerely,
Malik Ishtar, head of the Ishtar Clan
(The 13th at 4:00…that's today! In half an hour! We're gonna be late! Oh man!)
"Jii-chan! I'll be back soon!" Yugi yelled and ran out the door.
As Yugi ran, he was in non-stop communication with his yami.
(How do you think Marik got out? I mean, none of the Millennium Item holders would let him out, and there's nothing else that can…so how'd he get out?)
((I don't know Yugi, I don't know.))
HA! I left you guys on a cliffie! Do you like it? Hope you do. I need a co-writer/beta reader. I had little to no ideas on what to do. Sure, I have a main plot lined out, but no supporting details! I have no idea what to do! Why, oh why was i stupid enough to volunteer to write this? (Bangs head against wall) See ya next chap!
Review!
