Me: Okay, let's see where I'm going with this story once again... I'm drawing a blank everywhere I turn, which is why I had to cut down on updating.

The Darkest Light

Chapter 11

Guardians

Marik sighed as he tried to catch Joey that day. Every time that he'd caught him so far the two Hikaris had rushed over to talk to them. Yugi seemed really worried, and wasn't too happy that Yami wasn't at school today. He'd made a mental note to go check on him after school.

"Joey" Marik called quietly, waving the Guardian over.

"What is it?"

"I need to talk to you privately. I have something to tell you."

"Alright, c'mon." Joey brought Marik to an empty hallway, careful to make sure that no one had followed them. "What is it?"

"You can't tell them. But your friends, Yugi and Ryou. They're Hikaris."

"What?"

"That's not all. Yugi is the Hikari prince. As Guardians we have to protect them."

"Right. How'd ya find out, Marik?"

"Lady Isis. She spoke to Mr. Kadai, those guys' grandfather. He told them everything."

"What made her go ta him?"

"Because the very presence of Yugi and Ryou make Yami and Bakura happy. They've never seen them act that way and Yami was beginning to change. However when Yugi was around he acted like a normal human being."

"So none of the four know what they are?" Joey asked, raising a brow.

"No. Mahad won't allow Lady Isis to tell their boys, and Solomon hasn't told Yugi or Ryou."

"So not only do we have to protect them, but now we have to keep the secret from them as well?"

"Yeah. So just don't say anything."

"Alright, I got ya. I'll protect the two Hikaris."

"Gotchya."

The two shook hands before walking out of the hallway, splitting up and going seperate ways once they reached the end. Marik went on a hunt for Bakura, while Joey walked around to find Yugi and Ryou. Neither of the two seeing, or sensing the eyes that had been watching, and the smirk that was crossing the face that held said eyes.

"Sir, I have news" a dark voice growled.

"What is it?"

"I know who the Hikaris and Yaminos are. I haven't found them yet, but I know who they are, and who their Guardians are. I also know who has custody of them."

"Perfect, did you happen to find out where they live too?"

"Uhhhh..."

"That's what I thought. GET BACK TO WORK!" The larger man roared.

"Yes sir" the man yelped, running out of the room.

Yami groaned as he rolled over, careful not to fall off the couch. The cool rag falling from his head as he rolled. Isis picked the rag up, dipping it back in the bowl of cool water, wringing it out before placing it back on his head. Yami hadn't gotten any better, if anything he'd gotten a little worse.

From the looks of things, Yami's condition had upset Bakura. The older brother had thrown a fit to stay home that day, but against his will left for school after having an argument with Isis. The boy was anything but happy when he left for school, and Isis was afraid that he would cause problems, so she'd called Marik and told him to keep an eye on Bakura.

Isis sighed, standing from the floor in front of the couch and walking towards the kitchen. She needed to try and get Yami to eat something. She noticed a spray can of cleaner sitting on the counter, one of the cleaners that she had stopped using due to her getting terribly sick when she breathed around it. Her eyes widened at the sight of it, without further thought she grabbed the can and ran into the living room. "Yami, Yami get up."

"Mmm" Yami groaned in pain.

"I know you don't feel good, but I need to ask you something."

The boy's eyes fluttered open a crack, not wanting to fully wake from his peaceful slumber. "What?" He rasped out.

"Did you use this?" She asked, holding up the spray can.

Yami blinked in an attempt to clear his vision. He nodded his head when he was able to see clearly "Yeah. Why?"

"This is why you're sick. I didn't want you to use this."

"Oh. Well it was there so I used it."

"And now you're sick. I'm going to throw this stuff out. You can go back to sleep now."

"Mmkay" Yami mumbled as he laid his head back down.

Marik, Malik, and Bakura walked up the porch steps to the albino's house. Isis greeted them at the door with a smile on her face. "You can all rest assured, Yami will be fine in a few days. He just used a cleaner that shouldn't have been used. When its inhaled it makes the person using it terribly sick. It happened to me before."

"Well that's a relief" Marik sighed.

"I'll say" Malik agreed.

"So how is he?"

"He's resting. He seems a little stronger though. He's been tossing and turning a lot, so it's a good sign."

"Good."

Isis watched as the tension drained from Bakura, the boy walking away, heading in to check on his brother. "For not being blood brothers Bakura certainly does take care of Yami."

"It's said Bakura was the prince's playmate. They've been together since the day they were born. So even though they aren't blood brothers they are still brothers just the same" Marik informed her.

"I see. Did you get a chance to talk to Joey?"

"I did. Lady Isis I need to tell you, you should watch out for them."

"Why?"

"All day long I've felt something following, stalking, and preying upon us. That's why I told Joey so soon. Something is coming. I don't know when, all I know is that it is coming."

"Where is Joey's Yamino?"

"We don't know. We have to find them soon though. They have to protect Joey."

"Well, I'll watch them while they're at home, I just need you guys to watch them at school."

"Yes m'Lady."

The two exited, heading home for the day and leaving the other three to their family time. Isis needed to talk to Mahad about this, and get everything out. The boys needed to know, they needed to be able to defend themselves.

Me: Okay, there's the end to that chapter. Sorry if it was too short for some of you, you can suck it... No, just kidding.
