Chapter 9
Unknown
What do you get when you take 4 cups of hospital drama, "No Name Face" by Lifehouse, 2 cups of angst, a tablespoon of Ash-bashing, a teaspoon of humor, a sadistic bitch who enjoys torturing her favorite characters, and a pinch of fluffy hurt/comfort? THIS CHAPTER!
Y. Mojobubbles: 'Nuff said. -_-
Note: I dun own anything, including the bits of songs I've been putting in the last few chapters. Actually, I do own the cards, Blue Mystic Moon Warrior, Mojobubbles, Sweet Tooth, and Blue Eyes White Basilisk, so don't take em!
Yami: Ra! That was probably the worst thing you've ever done to us.
Y. Mojobubbles & Mojobubbles: Thank you. ^_^
Mojobubbles: Mmkay, couple notes, this is probably going to be the second to last chapter of the actual story. The very last chapter is going to be a preview of the next part of the Pokeduelsmon trilogy, and a nice little way for me to thank my reviewers.
Kura: How are you going to thank them?
Mojobubbles: You'll see.
Y. Mojobubbles: Next note, something about Isis and Malik - again. I know their dubbed names are Ishizu and Marik, but we're going to keep them Isis and Malik for 3 reasons: 1.) Their dubbed names are bakana*. (*Stupid) 2.) I like their Japanese names better. 3.) We feel like it.
Mojobubbles: Yes, I am aware that my characters are being put through a lot of bad things. Why? Because when it comes to Yu-Gi-Oh! fics, I'm a sadistic bitch. ^_~
Y. Mojobubbles: We watched the movie again!!!!!! There's this one part where Shogo starts crying and I freaked and was like, "Bad Joey! Stop distressing Shogo-chan!"
Moving on......Review Responses!
BMMW: I'm choosing to ignore your review. It wouldn't let me delete it, so I just gotta ignore it. This is why: 1.) You used the f-word. 2.) It's a freaking story. 3.) You really need to think before you speak-er, type. I'm not mad, just irritated that your taking a simple /story/ so seriously.
Kaya: She still thinks me and Malik are more than friends?!
Mojobubbles: No, she knows you two are just friends, she's just pretending she doesn't to piss me off.
Malik: Really?
Mojobubbles: Yep. I'm quite used to BMMW's /ways./
Europa: I got it off of www.meganimedvd.com It was only $16.50, including shipping and handling, and it came in 2 days. 'Course if you're in Canada, or England, then...I dunno. ^^ But there's this one part, where Yami Yugi actually..../smiles./ It is soooooo kawaii!!!!!! (melts)
Yami: YOU THOUGHT IT WAS A FUN CHAPTER?!
Mojobubbles: Yami, chill, it comes out ok?
Y. Mojobubbles: Mojobubbles, you just gave away the ending!
Mojobubbles: What?! I thought it was pretty obvious I'm not really gonna kill Kaya.
Note: I decided that Malik's yami was banished to the Shadow Realm, but he can occasionally contact Malik, and then he insults Malik. Sometimes he can even take over Malik, but all he can really do is make him say stuff. He's in the Shadow Realm, pplz, and he's not able to actually take over Malik's body. (blinks) Ra that doesn't sound right...

********************************************
When we last left off: Kaya had just been stabbed in the back and killed by Pegasus. The group was having a huge sob fest when Bakura noticed that there were odd similarities between the symbol on the hands of the Holders of the Millennium Items and the scene. So, the Millennium Item Holders stood in a pattern that was identical to the symbol on their hands. Because of this power was sucked out their Items and into Kaya, and at the moment, she's alive. Yay!
Kaiba flicked out his cell phone and dialed 119. (That's the Japanese equivalent of 911, btw. ^_^) He explained the situation, trying to keep his voice calm.
The ambulance arrived in less than 5 minutes, along with the police, who arrested Pegasus.
(Mojobubbles: (victory dance) YAY!!!!!!!!!!!)
The ambulance guys leaped out of the ambulance and put Kaya in it, refusing to let anyone else in the ambulance.
"But I'm her brother!" Yami shouted indignantly.
The meanie ambulance guys decided not to listen. They closed up the ambulance and left.
TF looked at each other. "C'mon," James said, gesturing toward their van thingy.
"What are you doing!?" Pegasus shouted. (The police had just handcuffed him and said, "You are under arrest blah blah blah" but they hadn't taken him away yet.)
"Takin' these guys to the hospital," Jessie answered.
"The platinum blonde kid was right. You /have/ gone too far." James said.
The group began to squeeze into the back of the van. Malik hung back for a moment. He noticed something small and sparkly on the ground. Malik picked it up, and gasped.
It was the gold charm he had given Kaya that lonely night. With the single word on it - luck.
Malik stared it, unable to keep his tears back any longer.
************************************
At the hospital, Yami paced back and forth. Joey was calling Serenity, and the rest were completely motionless. Well, except for Malik.
"Malik, what are you doing?" Yugi asked.
"I shuffle my cards when I'm nervous," he replied. "It's a funky habit." Just then, he dropped his cards. Muttering to himself, Malik leaned over and picked them up.
"You forgot one," Yami said quietly, picking up the one Malik had forgotten and flipping it over. Malik took it, but Yami wouldn't let go.
It was Gyakutenno Megami. The description was "This fairy uses her mystical power to protect the weak and provide spiritual support."
(Mojobubbles: I have that card right in front of me. That's exactly what is says.)
^No, not now...^ Malik thought desperately. ^I can't start crying now.....^
Yami finally let go of the card. But Malik didn't put it in his deck. He held it out to Yami.
Malik swallowed. "You keep it," he said. Yami didn't say anything, but Malik understood.
(Mojobubbles: Were those hints of Malik/Yami shounen-ai? (evil grin) Find out at the end of the chapter!)
Yami looked down at his bloody hands and rumpled clothes. "I'll be right back," he said. "I just want to-"
"Ok, Yami," Yugi said.
Yami made his way down the hall. ^I bet I look really bad.^ He entered the bathroom and approached the mirror, and made a face at his reflection. His hair was drooping, his face was pale, not to mention that his clothes were incredibly wrinkled, or that his hands were covered in dried blood. (Lovely, ne?) ^Oh, I don't look bad,^ he thought to himself. ^I look like shit.^ Sighing, he turned the water on and began to wash off.
*~*Back in the waiting room*~*
Malik stared at his hands. ^Ra, it can't end like this. She can't just die like this. I'm going to miss Kaya, and her brother....Ra, Yami can't lose her either....IT CAN'T END LIKE THIS!^
He was shaking. He didn't hear Isis calling to him. He heard someone else.
++Aw, gone soft, haven't you!?++
+Shut up.+ Malik replied bitterly.
"Oh Ra...." Isis murmured.
"What?!" Yugi asked. Malik was completely spacing, the way he did when he talked to Yami, but Malik's yami was gone.....ne?
"It's his yami!" Isis said.
~*~In Malik's mind~*~
(Mojobubbles: Ooh, this will be fun to write about!)
Malik looked around his dark and empty soul room. Ra, he hadn't been here in ages.
"I'm over here, you baka*," said a mocking voice. (*Idiot, fool, etc.) Malik turned, and was, once again, facing his yami.
"Please, just leave me alone," he murmured.
"You're pathetic, Ishtar," Yami Malik spat.
"It's Kaya, my friend," Malik said. "The Pharaoh's younger sister. She was stabbed in the back....."
Yami Malik looked at his (not a whole lot) lighter half. "Her, and the tomb robber, those were the only 2 people you ever met with any potential."
"What do you mean?" Malik asked apprehensively.
"I mean, she had so many connections to the palace, she would be a perfect addition to our little group of Yugioh haters."
(By Yugioh he means Yami as pharaoh.)
"You don't mean-?"
"I do," Yami Malik said, grinning evilly. "You two were so young, you didn't even know I existed. I just took you over, and tried to coax your friend to our side!" He laughed. "But I suppose I scared her, which must explain why she hates you so much!"
He disappeared. Malik collapsed onto the floor, clutching his head.
~*~Flashback~*~
"Where's Kaya!?" Malik screamed. "What happened!?"
Isis grabbed his arms. "Malik, listen to me," Isis said urgently. "She left. Kaya left."
"No!" Malik yelled. Suddenly he reached out and wrapped his arms around Isis. "Tell her to come back! Whatever I did, I'm sorry!"
~*~End flashback~*~
"That was my yami.....oh Ra..." Malik suddenly realized his friends and sister were calling him.
~*~Outside of Malik's mind~*~
"Malik!" Isis shouted, hugging him. "Are you alright?"
Malik was shaking. "It was him, Isis!" he gasped.
"What did he do, baby brother?" Isis asked, smoothing Malik's hair out of his eyes.
(Mojobubbles: Awwww...how cute! We decided that's gonna be a bit of a running joke, Isis calling Malik baby brother and Malik freaking over it.)
"My yami, took over, when I was talking to Kaya, and try to get her to kill Yami!" he gasped. "So she left!"
"/You/ never tried to turn her against Yami?" Ash asked, slightly surprised. (Let's pretend, that somewhere along the line, Ash and Misty learned about all that Battle City crap and what led up to it.) Swiftly, Malik jumped out of the chair and had Ash pinned to the wall.
"She knew how I felt, but I would /never/ make her choose sides!" Malik hissed.
(Mojobubbles: Go Malik, go Malik, it's your birthday, it's your birthday......^^)
"Sorry," Ash whispered. Malik took a deep breath and sat back down.
"Malik," Isis said. "You can just tell her what happened when she's awake."
Malik took out the gold charm and stared at it. "But what if she doesn't wake up?" he whispered, tears running down his face.
Yami had been watching the whole scene, using his and Yugi's mind link. He swiftly left the bathroom and headed back to the waiting room. He crouched down in front of Malik.
"Malik," he said urgently. "None of it was your fault. No matter what anyone says, or what I may say in the future, what happened was /not your fault./"
Malik nodded. "Thanks," he whispered.
"But how could Malik blame himself for something Pegasus did?" Misty asked Ash.
"I don't think Yami Yugi was talking about what Pegasus did," Bakura told them.
Just then, a doctor entered the waiting room and gestured to Yami.
"Perfect timing," Tristan muttered.
Everyone held their breath, including Serenity, who came in....sometime.
The doctor looked at Yami. "I'm sorry, but your sister went into a coma 20 minutes ago."

Mojobubbles: A CLIFFY!!!!!!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Y. Mojobubbles: But what about when you said, "Was that Yami/Malik shounen- ai?"
Mojobubbles: Oh, that. Nope, of course it wasn't! I can't write shounen-ai. Maybe the fluffy kind...I dunno, I've never tried.
Y. Mojobubbles: Why did you put that in there?
Mojobubbles: To piss off BMMW. ^_^U
All: (anime fall)
Malik: (gets up) You made me cry, you evil bitch!
