A/N;
Me: Okay, some reveiwers say that they are confused on Malik vs. Marik, so I'm going to clear this up right away.
Kat: Malik=Yami Marik and Marik=Marik I. It will always be this way.
Me: I hope that clears things up. Malik , disclaimer please.
Malik: Kit doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh, if she did you would be in the Shadow Realm.
Kit: *smacks in the back of the head* Now, on with the fic.
Closer Than Brothers
Chapter 8:
Previously: Yami suddenly stood up. "Let's Go. We'll take my car.
"Where are we going?" Bakura asked.
"Egypt."
"We're going to drive to Egypt?" Mairk asked as they followed Yami to his car.
"Yes Marik," Yami said sarcastically. "We're going to drive over the ocean."
"Really?" Marik asked hopefully.
"Of course not! We're going to get a jet from Seto!" Yami yelled as they all got into his car.
"I'll call and let him know ahead of time." Atemu said from the passenger seat. He dialed the number and put the phone on speaker. After it had rung a few times, they heard Steo's voice on the other end.
"Hello?"
"Seto, it's Atemu."
"What do you want?" Steo snapped, "I have work to do."
"We're gonna need a jet and a flight to Egypt." Atemu said quickly, "We're already on our way and we need it ASAP."
"What for?"
"I'll explian later."
"Fine." Seto sighed before he hung up. The rest of the drive was silent and anxious. Everyone was worried about Ryou, they all had great experiences with him. He was the most polite kid they had ever met. He had given them all somethinng even if it wasn't phyisical. Ryou had given Marik freindship, even after Battle City. It was because of him that Yugi and his freinds trusted him. He had helped Yami regain his memories and release Atemu. When Yugi had been attacked by bullies Ryou tried to protect him even though it ended with them both in the hospital. Bakura had the most to be thankful for, Ryou had given him a home, food, and family. Even after all he put him through, Ryou never left his side. Ryou was also the reason that Akefia was here. He helped Bakura get over his anger at the Pharoh, and released the evil, sadness and rage and purified it.
Soon, they pulled up to Seto's home and office. They were greeted by a butler who ushered them inside while another pulled the car into a garage. Inside, they were greeted by Seto and Mokuba. Seto began to lead them through the mansion. "There had better be a good reason for interupting my work. You know I'm very busy."
"Quit your eternal bitching fancypants." Yami said, already frustrated, "We're doing this because Ryou was kidnapped by Malik."
"Okay, valid reason." Seto stated, all frustration fleeing. "Explain later, I already called the mutt and your other freinds. Get in, we leave in a few moments."
"What about our clothes?" Marik asked.
"Already taken care of, I had butlers fetch your clothes and deuling decks."
"Wow, aren't you prepared." Bakura mumbled under his breath as they boarded the jet. Wait, how did he get in my house?
(Meanwhile, in Egypt)
Ryou and Kit had gone into a fully lit room for the first time in days. They looked at eachother in awe. "Wow," They both breathed "You're so pretty." They had both gotten a full look at eachother for the first time.
"Okay you two," Malik called as he walked in. "I brought presents for you." He walked up to Kit first and pulled out an animal collar. She looked at it for a few moments. It was purple with gold, embroidered hieroglyphs. "Malik tried to put it around her neck, but she pulled away and got behind him. Malik was very frustrated at this point. "I went through the trouble of stealing this for you and this is how you thank me!" He turned around and used his arm to knock her into the wall. Before she could get up he put the collar around her neck and turned her onto her stomach. As soon as he'd fastened it he grabbed Ryou and put a similar collar on him. His was green, but had the same gold color heiroglyphs as Kit's.
"What do these say?" Kit asked from where Malik had left her laying. "And why did you give us collars?" Malik grabbed one of her arms and one of Ryou's and began to lead them away.
"Well, yours says 'Fluffy' and his says 'Creampuff'. He stated simply as he pushed them back into their room. Before he shut the door he called "I got them because you're my pets, and you need names." With that, he left them in the dark again.
"You know what, we should combine our skills." Kit said as soon as they knew they were alone.
"What do you mean?" Ryou asked.
"Dance can be used as as a weapon. We're going to invent a new form of martial arts and dance. Training starts now."
Seto had just gotten the jet in the air when he heard Joey and Tristan yelling. "What's going on in here?" He asked even though a small part of him didn't want to know.
"Kaiba!" Joey said, "I'm surprised ya came!" Kaiba just rolled his eyes as the blonde continued to answer his question. "Anyway, we were just wonderin' why Limey here came along."
Tristan looked at Bakura and glared, "Why did you come along anyway? What is Ryou to you?"
Suddenly, Bakura jumped on Tristan and began to choke him. "HE IS EVERYTHING TO ME!" He screamed, while Seto and Joey tried to pry his hands off Tristan's neck. "HE'S GIVEN ME EVRYTHING AND NOW I COULD LOSE HIM FOREVER" As they restrained The three saw that the pale yami had let tears fall. Everyone began to crowd into the room. Marik sat down next to Bakura and started to whisper soothingly to him. Joey went to help Tristan, who was rubbing his neck and coughing. Atemu, Yugi and Yami went to explian why Bakura was going after Ryou and Seto left to go find Mokuba. Marik took Bakura to his room to calm him down. "What happened?" Bakura asked, "I don't remember."
"Oh, Ra." Marik gasped, just when Atemu and Yami walked in followed by Joey and Tristan.
Tristan cleared his throat, "Bakura, I'm sorry. I didn't know how much Ryou ment to you. But if it makes you feel any better, in another few hours the sun will rise."
"What he means is," Joey cut in, "We'll find him, no matter what." Joey and Tristan walked over, each put a hand on one of Bakura's shoulders, and smiled sadly. "We all miss him, he was good to everyone. Also, Yami explianed that we can't go with ya, but we'll be here cheerin' ya on."
The two boys began to leave, but Tristan turned around and said "Get some sleep, you look sick." Then he turned and left without another word. Marik left as soon as Bakura fell asleep. He had Yami and Atemu meet him in his room
"I think Bakura's losing it." Marik stated as soon as Yami and Atemu walked in.
"What?" The yamis both asked.
"I think he's losing himself." He said, "You know, because Ryou's not here."
"Oh Ra, this quickly?" Atemu asked, "But, it's only been a few days."
"Well," Yami chimed in, "He's been really stressed, and that would explain why he attempted to strangle Tristan... And why he didn't remember."
"At this rate, he could completely lose himself." Marik freaked, "We can't let him find out."
"I could lose my what?" The three boys turned around to see Bakura leaning in the doorway. The yami had dark circles under his eyes, and was even paler than usual. "What do you mean lose myself?"
Marik could see that Bakura was struggling just to hold himself up, so he had to explain quickly. "When a yami is separated from their hikari for too long, they begin to lose the humanity that the hikari had given them." Marik explained as he tried to usher Bakura back to bed.
"What about Akefia?" Bakura asked, not backing down. "What will he be like?"
"Akefia should be fine, he was purified before he was released." Marik started to guide Bakura back to his room. "You're different, you were evil in the first place." Suddenly, Bakura collasped on his freind, surprising him. "Bakura!" Marik shouted as he slipped and fell under his friend's weight.
"What happened?" Mokuba asked running in with Seto. They were closely followed by Joey, Yugi and Tristan. "What's wrong with Bakura?"
"Yami and Atemu will explain, while I take care of Bakura." Marik said as he picked his friend up bridal style. "Seto, is there a docter who can keep him asleep for the rest of the flight?"
"What for?" Seto asked while dialing a number into his phone.
"So he won't accidentally hurt anyone else."
As soon as he pressed the green button a blonde woman in a white coat came rushing in. "Mai!" Everyone (except Makuba and Seto) exclaimed.
Mai gave everyone a smile before she turned to Marik. "Come with me, hun." She said and walked out of the room with Marik following closely behind.
It was quiet for a few moments before Seto turned to Yami and Atemu. "You have some explaining to do."
