Dim by Light, Bright by Dark
Chapter 4: Double Trouble
Yami stood in a damp chamber with a single door. This door was six feet wide and twelve feet high. Only with the strength of a dozen men would the door budge. He eyed the door menacingly. Ishizu and Marik stood a few paces behind the pharaoh, both aware of his raging thoughts.
"Pharaoh, what are you thinking about?" Ishizu asked.
"The Gods. I forgot how powerful they are."
"And what is your plan for them?" Ishizu continued smoothly.
"They must be destroyed…"
"The Gods cannot be destroyed!" Marik shouted in outrage.
"Yes, but I can destroy their images, so that they can never be summoned," Yami said.
"But what of them? I thought you believed that all creatures, living should remain that way. Wouldn't destroying the Gods be the same as destroying any other monster? What difference does it make? You're still taking lives away. It goes against your beliefs, my pharaoh." Marik said in a calm voice.
Yami sighed. "You are right… I cannot do that."
"Then what will you do?" Ishizu questioned.
"You know already, Seer," Yami said in a low tone. "Heighten security around here. If a single man approaches the vault make sure he is locked up…"
Yami moved to walk away, but Ishizu stopped him. "And?"
Yami looked at her, "Make sure I know everything that is going on. Anything out of the ordinary you tell me. Do you understand?"
Ishizu bowed her head slightly. "Yes, Pharaoh."
Once Yami disappeared from sight Ishizu turned to her brother who was staring at the door with an evil gleam in his eye. "Marik!"
Marik turned his gaze away from the door, and directed it at his sister. "Yes, Sister?"
"What are you thinking?"
"Why, you should know, Sister. You are a seer after all. You see pass our present."
Ishizu's eyes softened. "My little brother, know that I am here for you. Please get rid of those strange obsessions. You will only be punished as Seto was."
"That's the least of my worries… So how long did it take you to figure out my so called 'obsession?'" he asked with a wild grin on his face.
"I sensed it for quite some time, now."
"Then, what are you going to do about it?"
"I-I… don't know."
"Ha! Are you going to be loyal to your brother or to some pharaoh?" Marik walked in the direction Yami had left by. Stealing one last glance at his sister he said, "Oh, and if you stand in my way, I'll run you over."
Ishizu looked at the haughty back of her brother, her eyebrows drawn in a frown. There and then she made up her mind. Walking away from the dark, dank chamber she swore to obey her liege…

Suggestions, questions, comments, flames, anything! I want to know what and what not I'm doing right. I'm already halfway through… Conclusion will be up in like after the next 4 to 5 chapters.
