I am back! This chapter isn't my favorite, but it's got a lot of key pieces you'll need. So read it, I promise it won't be too painful.

Things were quiet for a few weeks. Slowly everything fell into a pace. Malik brought Yume to she his sister Isis, and quietly they formed a frail friendship. It was a nice time though, Yume would smile occasionally and if Malik was lucky he could get her to laugh.
The process of putting her back together was painful. Especially since Yume wished they would leave her alone. Nightmares began in those weeks and her lost memories came flooding back into her brain. Some nights she would lie sleepless in her room with only a candle lit to chase the demons away.
But it never seemed to work.
School went painfully slow and Yume excelled in her classes. Her mind focusing on each subject with ease and grace. Always by her side was Malik. For some odd reason he felt an obligation to be near her. But he also let her be her own person. He wanted to help her, but only she could help herself.
Things stayed the same for the most part. The only thing missing was the bond between Yume and Mahina. The thick bond they had was being pulled apart thread by thread each day.

"Yume!" Mahina yelled at her twin. Yume's grip tightened over her books and she spun to face her sister.
"Mahina," she tested the name as if it hadn't been spoken before.
"Sister I haven't talked to you in over a week. Are you alright. You should come home." Yume frowned.
"I can't go home."
"Why not?" Mahina demanded. "You have to go home."
"I will not go home. You do not understand. You will never understand," Yume said softly.
"I understand well enough! Come home!" Mahina commanded. Yume lowered her head and shook it side to side.
"I wish I could, but I am an outcast."
"By who?"
"Go and ask our father. If he will not tell you, then no one will."
Malik had appeared at Yume's side. He gave both twins a sorrow-filled gaze and then walked off with Yume. Seto Kaiba placed a soft hand over Mahina's shoulder.
"I know it hurts," Kaiba said softly.
"Tell me, Kaiba-kun. Tell me what is going on."

"Would you like a ride today?" Malik asked, as he did every other. His hand fell onto the seat of his motorcycle.
"I want to, but I don't want to go back to your house."
"Do you want to be alone?"
"Not today. Today I am ready for your presence."
"I've been waiting for you to say that."
"I know." Yume and Malik hoped onto his motorcycle and rode off.

"Are you serious?" Mahina whispered choking on tears.
"I am sorry," Kaiba apologized.
"Yume, my twin's name?"
"They are the same."
"What do you mean?"
"Yume-chan is your sister, but her spirit has been shattered. Her mind, everything."
"All because she looks like my mother?"
"An exact replica."
"Exact?"
"Down to the last DNA strand." Kaiba looked at Mahina. Her eyes widened as she recalled the truth.
"A clone? Why?" Mahina asked.
"Go and ask your father, he is the true brain behind this all. I cannot tell you his motives; even I am clueless on them." Kaiba turned to leave. Mahina stretched out her hand and grabbed Kaiba's wrist.
They stood quiet for a few moments. Kaiba heard Mahina's silent tears behind his back. He turned and brushed them away.
"Seto!" Mahina cried jumping into the brunette's chest. Where she sobbed quietly.

Malik and Yume were alone in the park. It was well past sunset and no one wandered through the gardens; accept for them.
"Yume-chan are you okay?" Malik asked. He asked her everyday, and everyday the answer was a simple; 'yes, of course.' Today Yume stopped in her tracks when she heard his question.
"Am I okay?" She asked herself the question. "Malik?" He looked at her. "I don't know if I am okay."
"What's bothering you?" Malik moved to face Yume.
"I don't know if I'll ever be okay," Yume tip-toed over her words. "It hurts knowing you are simply a lap experiment." There was a pause and Yume sucked up her tears. "It hurts to know that you were created to replace the mother your father lost."
"You are more than a replacement. You are a person just like anything else."
"But I am her! There are no differences." Yume looked at her hands in the dim light. "My hair, my eyes, my face. All of it is her, none of it is me." Yume's tears began to flow.
"Yume-chan, don't think of yourself like that. You're thoughts are different, your personality. Your soul is different," Malik placed his hand under Yume's chin. She looked up at him through a veil of hair.
"My body is hers, therefore it has always been fair game."
"Fair game? Yume-chan, is there something you aren't telling me?" Malik lifted her chin so he got a good view of her face. Her frame felt so fragile against his hand. Fragile enough to break in half with a blow to the head. It had almost happened once before. Would it happen again.
"Malik," Yume looked at him.
"Yes?" he questioned. Instead of giving him an answer Yume wrapped her arms around him.
