Hey, second chapter is up Yay! How long has it been? 1? 2 hours? I really need to get a life. So I just wanted to say a couple things. First, I have been in a fire but I don't remember the actual fire, which was a very small fire, I just remember sitting out in the police car waiting for the fire to be put out with no shoes on. And then some story about how my brother could have been killed or something like that. Second, I've never been to the hospital, I've been to a clinic where I had my arm x-rayed, and I had to wear a cast for a week in fifth grade so I don't really know what it's like in a hospital, I'm just going off of the many, many stories I've read. So please don't judge me. Please. Third, I haven't had a good nights sleep in about a week so I'm kinda tired but I still decided to write so yay! Any way, on with the chapter.

Isis and Rishid got to the hospital, and found Malik pacing in the waiting room. Isis rushed over to him.

"How is he? Did the doctor say anything?" She asked, Malik shook his head. Isis sat down in one of the chairs and began crying again. Rishid sat next to her and tried to comfort her but couldn't. Malik looked around and then started to walk down the empty hallway. He didn't know why but he kept looking into the hospital rooms as if he was going to see Marik sitting in one of the beds watching TV. They didn't have a TV, not because of a money issue, all of them had jobs, and they were actually quite rich, but Isis wouldn't allow a TV in the house.

Malik found a room that was empty and went inside. The window was open and a slight breeze blew through the room. He looked out the window at the sky that was still pitch black from all the smoke. The hospital was on the other side of the very large city, so none of the smoke came over to the hospital, though it smelled like burnt wood and rubber, from all the treasured artifacts that might be perminantly distroyed.

Malik's hand and leg were throbbing from the burns he got. When the nurses took Marik to the ER a nurse who had heard what happened came over and told him he was very brave, then asked him if he had any injuries. He lied, of course, cause he didn't need some nurse taking care of him when he was perfectly capable of doing it himself. Plus, he was too worried about Marik to think, or even feel his own injuries.

Malik flicked on the TV in the room to the news channel and laid down on the bed, and watched.

"-Were having a launch party when the museum caught fire" The male reporter was saying. Malik recognized him to be Yuugi's older brother, Yami, who graduated Domino Institution a couple years ago. Malik and Yami had only known each other for one year before Yami graduated. Malik smirked as he rubbed his cheek bone in memory, Yami had a killer right hook. "Everyone escaped the fire safely, but there were a couple people injured during the fire. We have our new local hero..." Malik smirked as he saw Yami shudder visably, "Malik Ishtar," Malik blinked, "to thank for there not being one death in this whole tragedy. 11th grader, Marik Ishtar was one of the attendies of the party before the fire and got caught in the fire, and wasn't able to get out. If it weren't for Malik running in and rescuing him, he would have died in the fire. The rest of the people escaped without even a scratch. We would also like to thank our local firemen for all their hard work..." Malik tuned out of the rest of what Yami had to say. People thought he was a local celebrity? He just did it to save his brother. He would have never saved some random innocent victim to the fire. In fact, if it were just some random victim and not Marik, he and Marik would probably be laughing at them for getting caught up in the fire.

Malik stood up and turned the T.V. off and walked into the hallway where he bumped into Isis.

"There you are! The doctor said he's okay, and that he should be waking up soon, you can go in and see him if you want." Isis said, Malik smiled at her.

"Yeah, I wanna see him, then, if you don't mind, I'll kick his butt back into unconsciousness for making me go in after him" Malik said, making Isis giggle a little. "Do you know what they're calling me? I heard Yami, the news reporter, say that I was a local hero. That's gonna ruin my reputation, then people are gonna forget who runs that school, and people will start talking to me" Malik complain, Isis fake gasped.

"Oh and that's so bad" She joked.

"Not funny, you forget how I just barely passed the tenth grade? I had to bully a teacher into giving me good grades." Malik stated, and Isis scowled. Just then the doctor appeared behind Isis.

"He's awake now, if you want to see him" he said. Malik nodded, and smirked as he walked into the room the doctor told him Marik was in. Isis and Rishid followed. Marik had several parts of his body bandaged up from the burns he acquired and an ice pack was attached to his head. Marik gave Malik a look that told him not to start anything in front of Isis.

"Told you not to go" Malik said folding his arms and looking away from Marik with a pout on his face. Marik ignored his brother and turned to his other two siblings.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" Isis asked giving Marik a small hug so it wouldn't hurt his bandaged up hand.

"I'm fine" Malik humphed "My head hurts a little and the only burn that hurts is my right leg." Marik reasured Isis that he was okay. She kept fussing over him for about 10 more minutes before Rishid intervened by telling Isis that he was tired and should get some rest.

Malik said that he'd walk home, he just needed to talk to Marik for a second. Isis eyed him for a second and then turned to Marik, telling him to sleep tight and she would be back in the morning, then turned and walked out the door. Rishid too, said goodbye and that he'd see him in the morning, and followed Isis out the door, leaving Malik and Marik alone. Almost instantly, Malik's pout turned into a smirk.

"So what's it like being in the hospital" Malik bragged.

"Shut up!" Marik replied.

...

Malik opened the front door and tiptoed across the living room to the stairs. The top stair creaked under his wait, he quickly got off it, and hoped no one heard. He walked down the hall to his room and was about to enter but was stopped when Isis' voice broke the silence.

"And where have you been, Mister?" She asked. Malik froze, then took his hand off the door handle and bowed his head to cover his eyes.

"Crap" he muttered under his breath and turned around to face his sister. She was standing in her bedroom doorway, wearing her purple night gown. Her arms were folded and she had a look that told him he was in deep trouble.

"It's 4 o'clock in the morning. Please explain what on earth, takes you 6 hours to get home." She asked.

"Um... I was saving kittens from a tree?" Malik tried to look as innocent as he could, but failed miserably.

"Yeah, uh-huh, we'll talk about this in the morning, oh wait, it's morning now" She joked.

"Ha, I'm going to bed, and I know I'm grounded for... what? 2 weeks?" Isis seemed to consider this, then shook her head.

"No, you're not grounded" She said, Malik starred at her in disbelief, she never let them get away with no punishment. Even Rishid got punished sometimes, and he's older than Isis. "You're not grounded, but you have, let's see, dishes, laundry, summer homework, vaccuuming, and cleaning the bathroom to do." Isis counted every chore off on her fingers. "Yep, and you have to do all those for the rest of summer" Malik eyes widened and his jaw fell to the floor.

"Oh come on sis, you can't give a local hero a break" He begged. Isis shook her head, and started to go into her room.

"Night Malik" she said before shutting the door and leaving Malik to pout. He turned around and entered his dark room.

So, that was the second chapter, the reason for Malik being out all night is going to be told in the next chapter, along with Bakura, this time I'm not half lying I'm telling the truth.

I'd die if I had to do Malik's punishment! Just saying, sorry if Malik is off character. He'll be mean in a few more chapters. Haha, Malik, you are a hero.

Malik: shut up! No I'm not! I just care about my brother.

Zero: Yeah, yeah keep telling yourself that.

Malik: I will thank you

Zero: No need to be so nice.

Malik: What ever!

Zero: Review please, It will help Marik's burns disappear!
