R Amythest: you might be thinking, 'FINNNNAAAALLLLYYYY!!!!!!' But hey, I
have my reasons for being late! ^_^;;; You see, I've been working hard on
my epic journey, 'The Heart With the Cards.' I've gotten three whole
chapters up.
Yami Amythest: it's true, I have to admit. And although this is going to hurt my reputation, I say it's pretty good.
R Amythest: Okay, anyway, here's a pretty essential chapter. . . And by the way, let's just say Isis lives somewhere else. Hey, where's Yami Malik?
Isis: he was pouting in his room.
R Amythest: MMMMMMMMmaaaaaaallllliiiikkkkkkkkk. . .
Malik: yeah?
R Amythest: where's your yami?
Malik: He says he won't come out until he has his feelings explained.
R Amythest: *considers* deal.
Yami Malik: this better be good. . .
R Amythest: ROLL FIC!
(Rayo's POV)
It's been two years since Yami trapped the shadow games in stone tablets. They were all hauled into a large underground chamber. I doubted the security of them, but no one has found them yet.
Anyway, Yami's let me wander off occasionally. He says he knows the longing of getting out of the palace. He lets me go into the kingdom as long as I tell him where and how long I'll be gone. It was kind of nosy, but I knew people were after me, but it's better than being trapped in the palace 24/7 (Yami knew this) so I agreed.
It was in one of these little wandering offs that changed my lives. I told Yami I'd be off to the marketplace. I saw a little new lane of interesting products. The shops farther down seemed to get more and more interesting. I kept browsing down the aisle until I noticed something.
I was lost.
I panicked for a small while. Then I remembered what Yami gave me the large ring around my neck for. . .
**FLASHBACK**
Yami seemed to have an idea. He dug into his pocket and pulled out a golden thing. It was a ring-shape thing with a pyramid inside with an eye on it. Cones stuck on from the left, bottom, right, and in between. "This is the millennium ring," he explained. "If they ever catch you, it can guide you back to me."
**END FLASHBACK**
I reached in my shirt and took out my Millennium Ring. All its cones pointed deeper into the alley. I was confused. That meant I had to go farther away from the palace. Oh well, maybe Yami was shopping, too.
Anyway, I followed the cones on the millennium ring. It led me into a large house. Inside I heard lots of screaming. I nearly fell over in fright. The door suddenly opened and a blond, dark-skinned boy was pushed out.
"AND DON'T COME BACK UNTIL YOU DO!" a voice roared from inside the house. The door slammed.
I turned my attention back to the teen. He was painstakingly steadying himself using some sort of staff-type thing. It had the same kind of eye that my ring had!
(Malik's POV)
It was right after another of my dad's vigorous 'punishments.' Actually, I preferred to call them beatings. I gripped the Millennium Rod and steadied myself. Brushing aside a few tuffs of hair, I saw a little white figure standing at the entrance of the alley. I toppled over in surprise. Wasn't this the Rayo kid we were after, Seto and I? I just got enough energy two days ago, and he was desperately trying to find the chamber that held the power of the shadow games.
"Are you okay?" the kid asked timidly.
"Yeah," I replied grumpily, brushing myself off. I started to observe a gash on my side, hoping to make myself less suspicious.
"What happened to you?" he gasped, eyeing my wound.
"Punishment," I muttered. "You wouldn't have any pain relievers with you, do you?"
He stared up at me with large, brown, innocent eyes. "Sorry, I forgot them all at Yami's palace."
My heart skipped a beat. So this WAS Rayo. Only he had permission to call the pharaoh by name. "That's okay," I mumbled, trying to hide my astonishment.
"What's your name?" Rayo asked, trying to change the subject.
"Malik," I answered, without thinking.
Rayo let out a small gasp and started to inch towards the exit. I mentally slapped myself for not making up a fake name in advance. Rayo looked like he was ready to bolt out the alley. 'C'mon, make up a story, make something up!' I ushered myself.
"What's wrong?" I asked, as if I weren't a criminal.
(3rd Person)
"What's wrong?" Malik asked curiously.
Rayo was in a dilemma. Should he tell him? Or should he just run? His feet were frozen to the spot, so there wasn't much he could do, anyway.
"Ya-Ya-Yami t-t-t-told me that y-y-you want t-t-to k-k-kill m-m-me," Rayo stuttered, backing away from Malik.
Malik put on a veil of innocence. "He would never understand. I have to. Seto made me. It's the only time I can get away from my abusive father."
Rayo started to understand. "So it was only for self-defense?"
'I MADE YOU?!' Seto mentally shouted in Malik's mind.
'Chill,' replied Malik coolly. 'I have to get his trust.'
"Yeah," Malik replied sadly. "I didn't want to. . ."
(Rayo's POV)
"I didn't want to. . ." repeated Malik. His eyes just bore into my heart. I could just feel the pain myself. I started approaching him, slowly.
"I understand," I whispered.

R Amythest: I have a question. Should this be Yami Malik/Chibi Yami Bakura? I think I like that. . .
CYB: *glomps Yami Malik*
Yami Malik: Hey! Careful! My side still hurts!
CYB: meanie ol' R Amythest did it for real again?
R Amythest: HEY! I AM NOT A MEANIE!
CYB: *sticks out tongue*
Yami Malik: yeah, she did it. But at least I'm cleared a bit for my sins.
