I'm With You
(Malik-centered)
Disclaimer: Nope, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Be pretty cool if I did, though.
Mojobubbles: Wow! One of my reviewers guessed a very crucial plot point! Although, one of her guesses was wrong.....but the other is what really happened! I won't tell which one, but you'll all find out soon enough!
Mojobubbles: I SAW "SPIRITED AWAY"!!!!!!! YUBABA WAS VICTORIA IN DISGUISE!!!! SO WAS THE STINK SPIRIT!!!! WHICH MEANS THAT CHIHIRO/SEN FED HAKU VICTORIA'S TURD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All: *blink*
Mojobubbles: We (me and my friends and Kamilah) all liked the part where Chihiro is going down the steps and she trips and starts running down them and then she crashed into the wall. My mom came and picked us all up and dropped off my friends, and when they got out they'd run like Chihiro up to their doors.
Kamilah: -_- She had a really good time, if you can't tell.
Mojobubbles: I caaaaaaaaaaaaan't waiiiiiiiiiit until Saturday, when I go to Texas, and until chapter seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvveeeeeeeeeennnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kamilah: ......yep. This chapter is going to be a bit happier, I guess, cuz Yami stops acting like a total buttmunch and is all nice again.
Mojobubbles: A good portion of this chapter is centered around Isis. We haven't checked in with her yet, have we?
Kamilah: And she's sort of going insane. *grins evilly*
Isis: *looks nervous*
Review Responses:
Lady Yami: Well, "Princess Mononoke" is over 2 hours long too, and that and "Spirited Away" were made by the same guy.
Europa: I know it's sad.....but it's still good, right?
Blue Mystic Moon Warrior: I know. BAD YAMI!
Yami: STOP IT! YOU WROTE IT, FOR RA'S SAKE!
Mojobubbles: Ok, the people on #14 keep saying 'thank you' over and over.......it's REALLY weird. And Meht-urt, you better, like, put her in a straightjacket or something.....because he does more things, that in turn make Malik sad. REALLY sad.

The funeral was a few days later. It seemed to drag on forever, and Kaya couldn't wait to get out; it was too depressing and death seemed to hang in the air. She looked around at her best friends, all of which were with her at the funeral house. Bakari was talking with Isis in a low voice. (Hey Kirstie, I wonder what they're saying!!!) The others were milling about, and that's when Kaya noticed Yami.
That was it. She couldn't take it anymore. Of all the people to be here.....what was he doing here?
Kaya weaved through the crowd and out the door. She was already walking down the sidewalk when someone grabbed her arm. She turned, and Yami was there.
"What are you doing here?" she asked breathlessly.
"Hold out your left arm," Yami said, ignoring her question. She did, puzzled, and Yami reached into his pocket and pulled out something gold.
It was a bracelet.
He fastened it securely onto his sister's left wrist. She stared at the bracelet, tears forming in her eyes.
"You forgot it," Yami said quietly. "When you left."
She looked up at him, still not understanding.
"I'm sorry, Kaya," Yami continued. "What I said was untrue, and I'm sorry I couldn't see that before."
Kaya jumped into his arms, sobbing. He held her for a moment, and swallowed the huge lump in his throat.
"I wanna come home," Kaya murmured. Yami nodded.
"It wasn't the same without you, Ky," he said, smiling softly. Then he noticed the smile forming on her face. "What's so funny?" he asked.
"You," she said. "You're in a tux!"
(What? If I saw Yami in a tux I'd laugh too!)
***************************************
It rained that night. The rain fell in icy sheets, drenching any poor souls unfortunate enough to be out in it.
Isis Ishtar sat in her apartment, leaning against the window and watching the rain trickle down the glass.
"If Malik were still here......he'd come in right about now, soaked to the bone, but laughing as though he'd had the time of his life," she murmured, reaching up and following a raindrop with her fingertip. "And I'd scold him, asking him whether he had an ounce of common sense in his head. And he'd say it was fun, and that we never had rain back home." She smiled softly at the memories. "Then if I felt like it, I'd go on to say that I was only trying to watch out for my baby brother, and Malik would feel guilty and apologize, or he'd be mad that I'd called him my baby brother again."
A wry smile crossed her lips. "I must be going insane; I'm talking to myself." Before Isis knew what she was doing, she had left the apartment and was standing in the middle of the rain.
"He was right!" she said, the freezing rain mixing with the tears on her cheeks. "The rain is wonderful......."
She kept walking down the sidewalk. Then Isis became aware that she was being followed. She whipped around, blue eyes scanning the dark.
(Ok, now it's almost the part where it's set to "I'm With You" by Avril Lavigne. The stuff inside these things: ~~ are song lyrics.)
There was a dark figure, silhouetted against the building next to him. He had a hooded sweatshirt, and Isis couldn't see his face.
"Who are you?" she asked. The figure just ignored her and slipped down an alley.
Isis, feeling slightly nervous, continued to walk. She felt so strange, as though this had happened before.
Then it came into view.
The bridge.
The one Malik had jumped off of, ending his life.
And then it hit Isis, why she was feeling very déjà vu-ish. Because this must have been how Malik had felt, when he climbed up onto the sides of the bridge. She could just see him, bravely facing down death, like he had with everything else in life.
Now Isis wouldn't have been surprised if her brother stepped out of the shadows and greeted her.
~~I'm standing on a bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now~~
She stood completely still, straining to hear.
~~There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound~~
She shook her head; she was being stupid. Isis turned and began to march determinedly back home. But she found she couldn't move. She didn't know why, but she just couldn't.
"Help me," she pleaded softly. "Someone please.....I don't know what to do anymore......"
~~Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life~~
She turned suddenly, feeling like someone was right behind her. She saw no (....FACE! Argh, "Spirited Away" is taking over my brain) one.
But she knew, someone /was/ there, they just didn't want to be seen. "Who are you?" Isis whispered. "Please, just.....help me...."
~~Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I........
I'm with you
I'm with you~~
Isis turned and forced her feet to move. 'I have to get home.....' she told herself.
She could feel the person getting closer, but when she turned, no one was there. (SOMEONE'S STALKING ISIS!! Who could it beeeeeee?)
Suddenly, everything was different. It was like she had never been here before. Isis was suddenly so dizzy and exhausted.
'What's wrong with me.......?'
~~I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know?~~
"I hate everything......I don't know anything....who am I?" she murmured. "I'm so alone....."
~~Cause nothing's going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life~~
"Who are you?!" she cried in frustration, whirling around for the zillionth time to find that, once again, no one seemed to be there. "Will you save me, whoever you are?"
~~Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I......
I'm with you
I'm with you~~
Just then, she looked down at the ground. Without even knowing it, she had walked straight back to the bridge.
"Oh God.........oh Ra........I'm going insane......"
She collapsed onto the bridge and sobbed, clutching the railing as though it was all that was keeping her steady.
~~Why is everything so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yeah yeah yeah yeah YEAH~~
She heard footsteps, and knew someone was right behind her. She turned and stared up. It was the same hooded figure.
~~It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I..........~~
He held out his hand and Isis accepted, and he slowly pulled her to her feet.
"Who are you?" she whispered.
Slowly, the person reached up and pulled his hood off. Isis gasped.
"Pharaoh......."
~~I'm with you
I'm with you
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I........
I'm with you
I'm with you~~
She suddenly fell against him, sobbing. Yami Yugi wrapped his arms around his friend. She had lost her little brother......and only weeks ago, he had almost lost his little sister. And Isis had stood by him.
~~Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are~~
So how could he not do the same for her?
~~But I...........
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you~~

Mojobubbles: *smiles* Good job, Yami! You're not a buttmunch anymore! *glomps him*
Yami: -_- Sometimes I really really hate you.
Mojobubbles: That reminds me of this song that goes, "I love you I hate you I can't live without you I breathe you I taste you I can't live without you" and I DON'T KNOW WHO IT'S BUY OR WHAT IT'S CALLED!
Kamilah: And then there's another song that goes, "Then she told me she had a gun It sounded like she'd used it once before...."
Mojobubbles: If you know both or one of these songs, TELL US!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!
Kamilah: Only one more chapter then chapter 7!!!!
Yami: Review and let us know what you thought!
Mojobubbles: Loved it? Hated it? Nutter Buttered it? Kikyo-cloned it?
All: o_O
