Chapter 9

I Changed My Mind

Warning: Violence! Not too bad, though.....

Disclaimer: I own nothing but Kaya and the plot......BUT I'M GONNA OWN SOME KICK-ASS STUFF NEXT FRIDAY!!!!!

Mojobubbles: WHO SAW YU-GI-OH! ON SATURDAY!?!?! THAT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO &#%^#%^ COOL!!!!!!!!

All except Kamilah: *blink*

Mojobubbles: *points to Malik* HE MET TEA AND JOEY!!!!!! YEAH! AND HE WAS WITH Y. BAKURA WHO HAD HURT HIMSELF WITH A KNIFE!!!! AND HE SAID HIS NAME WAS NAMU!!!!! *pouts* But I had hoped he'd say his name was Terrance.....

Malik: I thought you hated that name?

Mojobubbles: But that'd be too funny to hear you say, "My name's Terrance!"

Kamilah: *to Malik* And what the %&#%^#% did you do to your dub voice?!?! It actually sounded NORMAL!

Malik: -_-

Mojobubbles: He was like a freaking actor or something!!!

Yami: -_- Mojobubbles, /you're/ an actor.

Mojobubbles: *not listening* I'm proud of the dub for not butchering the hurt-Bakura thing that much. He had still been stabbed, but they edited out the blood and didn't show Y. Bakura actually stabbing himself.

Duke: When do I come in?!

Kamilah: Next Saturday, we think. They're showing DDM episodes this Mon.- Thurs.

Duke: ^___^

Mojobubbles: But I think that is so far my favorite Battle City episode. RARE HUNTERS KIDNAPPED MOKUBA AND TIED HIM TO A FRICKING HELICOPTER!!!!!!!!! Man, you should've seen Kaiba spazz....but Ra/Kami/God, it was so SPAZZTASTIC!!!! Tea and Joey spazzed, the Rare Hunters spazzed, Malik spazzed, Kaiba spazzed, Grampa spazzed, Bakura/Y. Bakura spazzed, Mokuba spazzed, Serenity spazzed, Yami spazzed (ALOT...yami is the King of Games /and/ Spazziness), I spazzed, my yami spazzed...IT WAS A FREAKKING SPAZZFEST!!!!!!! But I got to thinking. You know how Y. Bakura can talk in Bakura's voice and appear to be Bakura? Well, now, isn't Malik being controlled by his yami the whole Battle City? So, today when he was saying he was 'Namu', was that actually Y. Malik just borrowing his hikari's appearance and voice, and is Malik's Namu-voice how the /real/ Malik sounds in the dub?

Yugi: Hmmm....that's actually a pretty feasible theory.

Mojobubbles: I KNOW!!!!! ^_________^

Kenshin: What's the best thing to do when she gets like this?

Everyone else: *in unison* Wait till it's over.

Kenshin: O_xO

Kamilah: Oh yeah, this is Himura Kenshin, formerly known as Battousai the Manslayer, and he's the perpetually-PMSing main character of my aibou's (and my) newest anime obsession, 'Rurouni Kenshin'!!!!!!!

Kenshin: -_x- I am having trouble 'adjusting', yes I am.

Kagome: Wait....how the heck can he have PMS?

Kamilah: Rapid mood swings. He's rather unpredictable in that way. *nods sagely*

Review responses:

Katiekat1414: Well, see, for it to fit Kikyo, in a songfic or whatever, it'd have to have her realizing that she is a heartless, soulless, bitch, and she has no hope. Yeah. Ok. ^_^U OOH INSPIRATION!!!!!! No, wait.....aw, screw dat!

Ruby*Luna: Aw.....thanks for the randomness, Ruby....randomness is good!!! ^____^;;;

Arian Starswing: Were you sugar high when you wrote that? Although I guess I shouldn't be talking....'cause I'm always hyper/sugar high!!!!!! ^___^U

Daricio: Yay!!!! Evilness good. And I didn't mean for the group-splitting- up thing to work out like that, it just did. Dontcha just love when stuff like that happens? ^o^

Symbol thingies:

You know what they are this time, right?

***********************************

(Kaiba POV)

(Alright, now while this is happening, Isis-tachi are in the Shadow Realm.)

Nothing could have prepared me for what happened that rainy night.

That Egyptian kid from Battle City, Malik........well, I had heard he was dead the day before. Sure, I felt kind of bad about it, but I was so bent out of shape over Mokuba I hardly cared.

Then, that night, a butler came and told me that Yukio wanted to meet me at the park, with no one else.

'Great, just great,' I thought. 'What the hell could he want now? He's already taken Mokuba......'

Then something else occurred to me.

Why the park, when it's pouring freezing rain outside?

(I guess this story's taking place in fall-ish.....all this freezing rain.....lol)

I pulled on my coat and headed outside. 'If I get sick then it's his fault,' I thought angrily, bowing my head against the downpour.

Finally, I reached the park. I searched for Yukio, and saw him standing next to one of those pavilions. If I had looked up at the roof I might've seen the figure lurking there.

"What do you want?" I asked Yukio impatiently. He looked up, and I jumped backwards. Something about the way he was standing there, staring at me.....it was so familiar.....

"What's the problem, Seto?" he asked, his voice flat. But.....it was so familiar......and then it hit me.

He was acting the way Malik's mind-control victims did.

"Malik?" I gasped, staring at Yukio. "But.....you changed......you're not evil anymore......and you're dead....."

"Malik?" Yukio said smoothly. "I don't know what you're talking about....."

My eyes widened. "YAMI MALIK!?"

At that instant, Yukio collapsed and a cackle echoed through the night and a tall figure leaped from the pavilion.

I tensed up, waiting to see where he would land.

"Yami Malik!" I said again as he landed with a thump directly in front of me. He just grinned insanely.

"/You/ killed Malik, didn't you!?" I gasped. He said nothing, just grinned even wider and opened the top of the M. Rod, revealing the dagger inside. Without a word, he stabbed Yukio in the back.

"Shit!" I exclaimed, darting forward to catch Yukio before he hit the ground. Yami Malik ran off, cackling insanely. I looked around, hoping for some means of escape. What could I do? I could leave him here......but.....I saw a payphone about 50 feet away. (Hm, seems 50 feet is the magic distance....Tristan and Joey saw Malik about 50 feet from where they were standing last chapter.) "Can you walk?" I asked urgently. Yukio groaned in reply. I put one of his arms around my shoulders and supported his weight. Slowly we made our way to the phone.

Hey, I'm not that cold.

**********************************************

I sat in the waiting room of Domino Hospital. I was getting pretty sick of this place. After all, Yami Yugi's sister, that Kaya, was here just a little while ago. (Ok, too much of this trilogy takes place in the freaking hospital!!!!)

It was late, about 11 PM. If Mokuba was here....I'd get home very late, and he'd be waiting up for me.....I shook my head. This was all Yukio's fault.

So why didn't I feel angry with him anymore?

Just then, a doctor came out, gesturing to me.

"So......what's the report?" I asked, rather impatient.

"He's going to be fine. It'll take him a while to get back on his feet again, and he'll never fully recover his strength, but he'll be alright."

I nodded, turned, and began to walk away.

"Oh, and Mr. Kaiba?"

I stopped.

"He wants to see you."

************************************

(Third-person POV again)

(Oh, and once again, I'm calling Kaiba Seto, because I keep typo-ing Kaiba.)

"You wanted to talk to me?" Seto asked, coming into the room and flopping onto a chair near the bed. He had to admit, he felt kinda bad for Yukio. He looked pretty beat up.

"I wanted to tell you......"

"Yes?"

"Why I wanted to talk to you in the first place, Seto."

"You mean at the park."

"Yes."

"Ok. Go on."

(Ok, this is weird......what am I smoking?)

"I wanted to tell you......I changed my mind."

"About what?"

"About everything, Seto. About you, the company, the past, your brother....."

That definitely got Seto's attention. "What do you mean?" he asked slowly.

"Earlier today, I went to the court."

Seto stared at Yukio, hardly daring to believe it.

"You now have custody of Mokuba."

Seto couldn't say anything. He nodded, flabbergasted.

"But.....why?" he asked, finding his voice again. "Why did you come back?"

"Because......I hated you."

Whatever answer Seto was expecting, that wasn't it. "Ok......"

"I wanted to get revenge, basically. I felt that you had taken everything. So I took everything from you."

Seto raised his eyebrows.

"I know, I know. I had a rather warped view of the world," Yukio said dryly.

"But tomorrow, I'm gonna get out of here, and go back to Tokyo," he continued. "And when I get there.....I'll be sending Mokuba back here. He'll be home tomorrow, Seto."

"T-thank you."

And as he walked down the hallway of the hospital, for the first time in a while, Seto Kaiba actually smiled.
