===Malik's pov===

"So, what you are saying is Ryou you grew up with is back" Marik asked confusingly

"Yes but, we have to be careful…he has been diagnosed with D.I.D" I said

"In other words a personality disorder" he said

"Yes" I answered

"How is Pegasus handling it" he asked

"I'm not sure, that is why we are going to visit today" I said

Marik sighed heavily, I explained everything to Marik a few times. He understands Ryou has been through a lot so, he is willing to help me make Ryou feel better. We drove the rest of the way to Pegasus mansion in silence. It has been a few days since Ryou was released from the hospital. This is the first time I will be able to see him since he had been release. I looked down at the box on my lap, it was a light pink box filled with Ryou's favorite dessert, cream puffs. I smiled gently as I remember when Ryou would try his best to scuff down as many cream puffs as he could.

The car pulled up into the drive way of the mansion, Marik parked the car and turned off the engine. We got out of the car and walked into the main entrance of the mansion. We were greeted by a butler with grey hair and faded green eyes.

"Can I help you boys" he asked

"We are visiting, can you tell us where Ryou is" I asked

"…I'm afraid Ryou is sick at the moment" he said sadly

"Sick, what do you mean sick" I asked

"Malik, I think we should go" Marik said

"No, where is Ryou? What has happen" I asked sternly

"I'm sorry, it's just best if you two leave and come back when it is safe" he said

"No" I said

I ran past the butler and began to search for my princess, I heard angry yelling coming from Ryou's old room. I ran in that direction and ran into Ryou's room. I saw Ryou struggling with Pegasus, cursing him out.

"Let me go you fucking nut case" Ryou hissed

"Ryou please you need to calm down and take your medication" he said

"I said fucking no" he hissed

Ryou kicked Pegasus in the stomach, Pegasus let go and fell to the ground clutching his stomach. Ryou raised his fist, I ran in front of Pegasus dropping the cream in the process.

"Ryou stop it" I said

"Get out of the way Ma-lick" he hissed

"Ryou, please get a hold of yourself" I begged

"Move out of the god damn way or I will hurt you as well" he growled darkly

"Please" I begged once more

Everything went slow, I saw Ryou's fist come at me. I wanted to move…I wanted to stop him…but…I couldn't…Ryou…wouldn't hurt me…Before I knew it Marik grabbed Ryou's arm, he twisted it behind Ryou's back, and pinned him on the ground.

"Are you two ok" Marik asked us

"I will be fine, what about you Malik" Pegasus asked me

I didn't answer him…my mind was lost…Ryou…wanted to hurt me…no…that wasn't Ryou. I looked at the person my brother had pinned on the floor, he struggling to get free but Marik twisted his arm even more.

"Get off of me you crazy fuck" the person hissed

"Calm down and I will" Marik said calmly

"Get off you're hurting me" the person whimpered

The person stopped struggling then cried softly, I slowly approached him. Marik didn't break his hold on the person, he only twisted the person arm even more.

"Please stop, it hurts" the person whimpered

I pushed Marik off of him, the person looked at me…it was Ryou. I hugged Ryou tightly, and Ryou hugged me back. He buried his head into my shoulder and cried softly, I stroked Ryou's hair softly.

"Shhhh its ok, it's going to be ok" I said

"Malik, I'm sorry" he said

"It's fine Ryou" I whispered

I don't know how long we were holding each other for but, I never let go of Ryou. Ryou had fallen asleep in my embrace, I carefully picked him up and placed him on a unmade bed. Pegasus pulled some blankets up to his shoulders, and tucked him in. I felt a hand place on my shoulder, I turned to see it was my brother. He motioned me to step out of the room, I left the room and stood in the hallway. Marik sighed heavily and rubbed the back of his hair.

"You know, as much as I like being the pain in your ass. I think it's best for you not to see Ryou anymore" he said

"What, why would you say that to me? Can't you see that Ryou needs me right now" I said

"Malik, didn't you see what happen back there. If I wasn't there to stop Ryou, you could have been hurt badly" he said

"That wasn't Ryou, that was the other personality" I explained

"Look, I know I don't pay much attention in psychology. But, what I saw was Ryou going to punch you in the face" he said

"But" I tried to explain

"But nothing, we are leaving now and you are going to stay away from Ryou" he said coldly

I looked at Marik shocked…sure Marik could be a bit cruel and be a giant pain in the butt but…he would never be this cold…I opened my mouth to argue with Marik but, Pegasus step out of Ryou's room, closing the door behind him. He looked at us for a second and smiled weakly.

"I am sorry you boys had to witness that" he said

"It's fine…how are you…" I asked

"I will be fine, a kick like that won't bring me down" he chuckled weakly

I chuckled softly then stopped…I turned to looked at Marik, his eyes were narrowed and harden. He crossed his arms and left. I sighed softly and looked at Pegasus.

"You can go if you want…" he said sadly

"Will Ryou be ok" I asked

"…I don't know…he is healing…please Malik, Ryou needs you right now. He can't get through this without out…I fear if this continues on…I fear the worse will happen" he said

"Do not worry, I will always be with my princess" I said

"Thank you Malik, this means a lot to me and Ryou" he said

"I live to server my princess" I said as I tow a bow

"MALIK HURRY UP, WE ARE LEAVING!" Marik yelled
