Chapter 11: My Immortal
A/N: This is a Song Chapter. Yep, it's not a Song Fic but a Song CHAPTER. It is based on the song My Immortal by Evanescence. The stuff in italics and [ ] are parts of the song.
*===================*
It was dark yet I knew I was somewhere warm. My fingers felt cloth and my head rested against something soft and comfy. I could barely move or see. Where was I? Icy coolness soaked into my wound and I tilted my head so that I could see the cause. A tan hand held a wet cloth up to my wound. It made me flinch. My wound had black stitches in it and it still throbbed. I don't know whose hands those are…don't care. It was so hard to think straightly…my breathing was shallow…my mind began to fade…I drifted off to sleep.
[I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'cause your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone]
Yugi woke up in a nice warm and comfy bed yet his whole body ached. Akila was applying cream to his cuts. Yugi looked around and saw Malik taking care of Trinity. She wasn't moving and was totally unaware that the person she trusted the least was helping her the most.
"Thanks Akila," Yugi said sweetly.
"Don't mention it. I'm glad that I could help," Akila said, smiling.
"Akila, how do you know so much about first aid?" Yugi asked.
"I learned first aid when becoming a servant. Now rest, you need to save your energy," Akila said, still applying the cream to Yugi's cuts and bruises.
"Okay," Yugi said reluctantly, closing his eyes.
Akila could only smile. He was so sweet…so cute. She loved him even though she barely knew Yugi. The CPR had worked and now this little angel sat there sleeping peacefully. Trinity was another story, though. She had lost a lot of blood and chances of her living were slim. Akila looked at the young girl sadly.
Akila felt like a nurse. Creating lotions and medicines, bandaging the wounded and making food for the rest. She finished tending to Yugi's wounds and went to go supervise Malik.
Malik was bandaging Trinity's waist since her wound was on her side. He carefully wrapped up her waist and minded not to touch or mess with the wound. Trinity had barely stirred and currently she was fast asleep. Malik was so busy tending to Trinity's wound that he didn't realize that Akila was supervising him.
"Mind the stitches. I'd hate to
redo them," Akila said suddenly, causing Malik to jump slightly in surprise.
"I didn't know you were here. Yes, I'm being very careful. Don't worry,
Trinity's in good hands. Do you think she'll live?" Malik asked, worry filling
his eyes.
"I can't be sure. She did lose a lot of blood. Only time can decide her fate," Akila said sadly.
"I guess…" Malik said, continuing to bandage Trinity.
I woke up slowly and looked around. I saw Akila watching Malik. Malik was bandaging my wound. My mind was still dim and I felt light-headed. My skin was pale.
[These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase]
"W-why? I thought you wanted me dead. I mean you were the one who did this to me," I asked weakly.
"Shhh…you need to rest Trinity," Akila said, smiling sadly.
"No, she needs to know my answer first," Malik said sternly.
"O-kay. It wouldn't hurt, besides she needs to eat," Akila said.
"Trinity…I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for you to get hurt. It was my Yami, I swear. He took over my mind…my body…my actions. I j-just couldn't control him. Please forgive me Trinity," Malik said in the most regretful and sad voice you'll ever hear.
"I understand you, Malik Ishtar. I understand every word and I forgive you," I said weakly.
"I am glad that you do for…I love you. I love you more than life itself," Malik said.
"And I love you, Malik," I said smiling.
And then we kissed. My mouth and heart filled with a sweet passion. I felt happier and better than ever before yet I knew that I was close to death.
[When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
but you still have
All of me]
Yet how? How could I do this? Malik had hurt me so badly yet now I had complete trust in him.
[You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me]
I knew that he didn't mean it though. I was so confused though. Life was confusing and would never be completely understood. My wound throbbed yet I could barely feel it much less pay attention to it. My attention and feelings were at the mercy of this kiss and my feelings. I was completely lost in this kiss. Yet the pain of betrayal still stung my heart even though Malik had apologized and I had forgiven him. I had a feeling the sting would remain there, though.
[These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase]
Tears filled my eyes yet I was happier then I had been in a while. What would happen when Malik's Yami came out? That possibility scared me more than any nightmare ever did. I might not be so lucky next time and the same went for Yugi and the others.
[When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me]
Malik held me in his arms. My arms were draped around his neck. I pulled my lips away and looked into his eyes. My eyes were watery for I thought of something so depressing it was hard to imagine how my mind conceived it. This could be our last kiss…ever. I didn't try to hide the truth from myself nor did anyone else. We all knew that there was a large possibility that I could die. But I knew that the person I thought had left me and had so-called betrayed me would be there to take care of me.
[I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along]
I looked around blinking away my tears. Jounouchi was eating while Honda and Seto conversed. Anzu was eating too but mainly she was just studying the walls. I saw Yugi resting in bed. Akila was taking care of Yugi. She was applying lotion to one of his many cuts. Poor Yugi, he was really beaten up badly. Bruises and cuts covered his face and arms and torso. Yet he still smiled, well in his sleep anyway. Yeah…little Yugi was fast asleep. Everyone else seemed to have bruises as well but none were severe. I looked back to Malik. He had a few bruises but they were really hard to see on his tan skin. He was smiling and tears filled his eyes too.
[When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
but you still have
All of me]
We just hugged each other. I felt better. No pain seemed to touch me for my feelings blocked it. Akila got up and walked over to where Malik and I were.
"You need to rest Trinity. Here's some medicine, it will help you sleep and lessen the pain of your wound," Akila said handing me a little bottle with medicine in it.
"Sleep well Trinity," Malik said, kissing my forehead.
He left to go see what was left of the food. I took the medicine and sleep took over.
Yugi was fast asleep. He was in his Soul Room. His Yami's Soul Room was gone. Wait. The Millennium Puzzle. He had forgotten all about it. Yugi knew it wasn't around his neck so where was it?
Malik looked at the Millennium Rod. It was lying on a table with his food next to it. He eyed it warily. Malik just couldn't trust it completely. If his Yami ever took over again and had the Millennium Rod in his reach, the results could be disastrous. It could both control minds and become a dagger. It was the dagger in the Millennium Rod that had wounded Trinity. Malik picked up the Millennium Rod and put it somewhere both safe from his Yami and out of eye sight.
Akila was so tired. She ate some and then put on her sleeping gown. Malik had supplied extra beds so everyone would have their own bed and blanket. However, the beds were all stuffed in one of the extra rooms. Akila went off to sleep, thinking of the person she now had a crush on. Yugi Mutou.
Isis was in her room. The bars on the door and window were gone yet she still felt wary. She sensed something…strange. Isis didn't need her Millennium Tauk to predict that something bad was going to happen.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N: Okay. Isis is going to kill me -_-' First I put her museum and all of its prized stuff in NY when it's supposed to be in Japan. Then I forget ALL ABOUT HER in this chapter until the very end. I was like who am I missing? Then I realized it and I was like BLLEP! I hope Isis doesn't know where I live… -_-'
I'll update after I receive at least 2-5 more reviews. So…PLEASE REVIEW!
Also: The sentence in Chapter 10 (It shot up through his body and his tortured screams rang through the stifling air.) was written by Towairaito Zoon. She just wanted some credit, however small…
