TAGGED FOR OVERHAUL.
Apocalypshipping (Yami no Marik x Seto x Isis)
Flaws of the ship: Do I seriously need to explain this one? Isis is scared of Yami Marik, and she dislikes him intensely – mostly because she desperately wants her brother back, and while Yami Marik's around she can't help him. Plus, Yami Marik's technically in Marik's body, which makes him technically her brother no matter how she tries to deny it, which makes it incest, which makes it awkward.
Seto dislikes Yami Marik as well – so much so that he actually gave Yugi a card to help the kid win against Yami Marik. Seto's ego is far too much for Isis, who doesn't think much of him – and he doesn't think much of her in return.
Lastly, blah blah Yami Marik's hate itself blah blah he would very much like to hurt everyone in his general vicinity blah blah.
This pairing is pretty hard to work with, as none of them want anything to do with each other.
Probably why few write it...
Warnings: 'Why doesn't Yami Marik mind control anyone with that Millennium Item of his?' This is pretty much why - creepiness ensues, with torture and kissing and good lord it's stupidly messed up.
Time Period: Just after Battle City, with Isis and Marik still in Domino City.
Names:
Isis/Ishizu Ishtar = Isis
Seto Kaiba = Kaiba
Yami Marik/Yami Malik = Yami Marik
The letter started the whole mess. It was no ordinary letter - for it came in a large mahogany box in the boot of a limousine, closely guarded by a fleet of motorbikes. Whilst Isis would have liked to pretend otherwise to the neighbours, there was no denying that it had come that way – hand delivered no less, with a great deal of fanfare, by a snooty man with a London accent, the suit, tie, dark glasses, hair that stuck straight up from his head in one massive spike, the whole lot. The girl wasn't entirely sure to what to make of any of it – and the contents of the note were just as confusing:
'Dear Isis,
I wuv u wanna hav you–know–what wif me.
Setty–Wetty.' (1)
"What's that?" Marik peeked over her shoulder– and instantly, his hair spiked up, eyes narrowing. "Ghh... gahh... SETO KAIBA MUST DIE!"
Before Isis could stop him, he'd charged straight out the door – and she didn't need her Millennium Item to tell her what was going to happen next.
Please, let me get there before he does…
The Egyptian's sleek sports car pulled up alongside the front door of KaibaCorp with barely a whisper, and her heart sank instantly. The doors were smashed in, the guards unconscious (possibly worse – she hoped they were just unconscious).
He's already here!
And that's when the screaming started – low moans that gradually climbed into high wails. Frantic now, Isis ran down corridor after corridor, until she came to a door that had been smashed in. Cautiously, she stepped inside, to find–
"Oh, RA!"
Yami Marik leaped off Kaiba – and off Kaiba's desk – like he'd been given an electric shock. Kaiba didn't look like he was in good condition at all – the CEO slid off the other side of his desk with a moan, with a loud crash following shortly afterwards as he failed to land properly. Isis raced around to the other side. "Are you all right?"
His eyes were clouded with the effects of alcohol... or more likely the Millennium Rod, given that Yami Marik was in the room… Still, Kaiba still seemed proud – he flopped a handin her face, dismissively. "Mmmh… Sheave me sha'lone, wouldja? Nah, nah… Sha! Shome shere, sh'oo!"
And then he suddenly lurched upwards, trying to kiss her. Isis jerked away before he could make contact – but Kaiba came after her, with a weirdly blank look in those cold, blue eyes–
"YAMI MARIK!" Isis scolded, glaring as best she could at the other Egyptian – even while Kaiba chased her round and round the room. The man simply cackled in response, waving the Millennium Rod like a conductor's baton, forcing Isis to run harder and harder in order to get away from Kaiba.
"Whee! Isn't this fun, sister?"
"You're… not… my brother…" Isis gasped– and Kaiba sprang, knocking her over with ease.
Yami's Marik's input didn't help things at all: "You're right… I'm not your brother."
Kaiba's hands reached under Isis, rolling her onto her back.
Yami Marik's voice hardened. "You don't love me enough for me to be your brother."
The CEO ripped off Isis's scarf, pinning her arms to her sides, and Yami "That's why I'm gonna embarrass you beyond belief."
Kaiba's lips met hers, and –
Ka–chick.
FLASH!
It took Isis only a second to work out what that was, for it was a sound that she'd heard many times before, from the tourists in Egypt...
A camera.
"Hey, guess what's going to be posted all around the school tomorrow?"
Isis managed to free her mouth from Kaiba's – just long enough to gasp "Oh, I am going to kill you!" –and ten seconds later Kaiba snapped back into control. Being a smart CEO, it didn't take him long to work out what had just happened.
They say the resulting howls of rage nearly demolished the building.
Notes:
1. Yup, I'm having a go at SOME of the shipping fanfics out there. Namely the awful ones that aren't even that well–written and have characters behaving like that.
