A/N: Before you begin this fanfic, you have to understand what happened in the prequel, "Taming the Evil." Hmmm…let's see…GO READ IT!
But no, I'm not evil, so I'll write a really crappy summary…
Ok…Marik wants to control all the Millennium Items so he "shatters" Mokuba's soul. Basically what happened when Pegasus took Mokuba's soul. Anyway, now Seto has to get his brother's soul back. First he turns to Ishizu for help, but she gets pissed off cause Marik's her brother. Then he turns to Yugi except that it's really Marik and they get set up…GO READ THE STORY! Then, Seto and Ishizu kinda kiss and all and he's like in love w/ her…
So, what's important is the final scene: Marik and Seto are fighting, Seto overpowers Marik, he's about to kill him. Then Ishizu pops out and she says that she and Marik share a bond and if one of them dies the other one does too. So Seto drops his sword (cuz he luvies her) and Marik's about to kill him. But then Marik topples over cuz Ishizu just killed herself so Seto wouldn't die. AWWWW HOW SWEET.
So anyway, that was like the preface/introduction/forward…whatever you want to call it.
So now let's begin the story… (remember to review by the way…)
p.s. I told u it was a crappish summary

Enlightenment of Souls
A Sequel to "Taming the Evil"
DxDevlin
Disclaimer: I disclaim this story (?)
Chapter One:
Resurrection
Author's Note #2: It may be a little hard to understand at the beginning. But one thing: "Demise" is death, and this takes place right after the end of "Taming the Evil." And one more thing…I know I used 'Isis' in the first story, but now I'm using 'Ishizu' cuz that sounds cooler.
Mutters and murmurs filled the ovular dome. Whispers of confusion were heard from one end to the other. People sat in the many rows of seats: men, women, children…
The clamor was silenced at once by the roar of a petite man. His body, though miniscule, contradicted his extremely thunderous voice. He was heard by everyone at once.
"Ishizu! What were you thinking? I always knew you were a brat from the day I laid my eyes on you…" he pointed his finger furiously at a rather bored young woman sitting quietly in a corner.
"Father!" cried out another man, this one young and livid with rage. "You cannot speak out like so to one of our own, despite how despicable their deed was! Calm down, before you are removed."
The old man, ashen-faced with indignity, spoke in a lower voice.
"Ishizu, you know who you two are, do you not? You and Marik are the Enlightenments! You are the Saviors of Souls, the Ones who are responsible for us, for everyone!"
The young woman now spoke in an uninterested voice. "I know, Father. We've been over this…"
"So then," continued the old man. "Why did you do it? Answer me! I explained to you that Demise is not an answer, but if it happened, it happened. How…how could you bring it upon yourself? All for a man who is…nothing!"
"He is something!" shouted Ishizu. She bowed her head. "Why does it matter, anyway? We aren't dead, so this makes no difference."
The Father struggled with his words and made angry gestures at her.
"Father!" yelled out Ishizu, impatient. "I am sorry. But what I did has no effect on anything. Can I go now?"
Murmurs from the audience were audible. Agreements of "yes!" and "let her go back" were heard. The Father had no choice but to cease his ranting.
"All right, Ishizu, this was your first strike. The road before you will be rigorous and rough. As the Old Ones say, 'They who trek it are they who make it.' You, and you alone, have made the pebbly gravel that you must travel on. Now you must travel it. Good luck, Daughter."
Ishizu muttered a "whatever" as she breathed a sigh of relief. She spotted the very person she was least looking forward to: her brother. She tried to dodge out of the way, but he had already seen her. She nodded a greeting. The silence between them was unbearable, so she spoke first.
"Brother, I am sorry."
"For what?" he quickly asked.
"For…" she didn't know what to say.
"It doesn't matter. When I came, the Elders nearly screamed their heads off at me after they had discovered my plan."
Ishizu laughed, but her smile turned serious. "What were you thinking, Marik? You wanted to take over all the Millennium Items? I didn't know what you were up to, but I figured it out. Were you out of your mind?"
Marik looked down. "I was, and I'm sorry. I just didn't believe in this 'destiny' we had. I thought to myself, 'who cares if everyone dies in a couple of hundred of years? I'm not going to be around, so why bother?' Selfishness, that's what it is. And maybe all those drinks I had," he added with a laugh.
Ishizu marveled over the sudden change that had come through her brother. He was calm and had lost his usual squeaky, high-pitched voice. It was remarkable.
"That man," Marik said as he glanced up toward the Father. "He's lost it. What did he mean by you making the 'pebbly gravel'? I think he's got so much pent up anger that he has to let go on someone else."
"I know," Ishizu giggled. "He's the one who's lost his mind." She stopped as she realized Marik was still staring hungrily at her Millennium Necklace. He quickly looked up guiltily.
"I can't help it," whispered Marik.
"Why?" asked Ishizu anxiously. "Why do you need power? I don't understand you. You kidnapped that Kaiba brother, that young and innocent boy, and made him suffer –"
Marik interrupted, irritated. "I'll try to change, but I can't help it. I'm sorry." He looked at Ishizu and changed the subject. "How are we going to do this, anyway? We have to save a world that isn't physical from a force that isn't physical. That's impossible."
Ishizu shook her head. "Nothing is impossible. If it's possible that we're standing here right now in a world that isn't physical, then what isn't?"
"Then do you have any ideas? Because I don't!"
Ishizu sighed. "We have to gather the Millennium Items and their holders. We teach them how to Release. We combine the Items and find a balance. Combining them has never been done before, but there's a first for everything. And Marik," she added. "One false move and you try to control the Items, you're a dead man."
Marik chuckled. "Is that a threat?"
"What do you think?"

A/N: if you read this before, I changed the story because Marik is awesome and he has to be a main character.

(down there…)
Stay tune for the next chapter…some awesome stuff is going to happen!
---tell me: should Seto be in this story? I can make Isis/Kaiba romance but he's not powerful or anything and this story is mainly about this whole saving the world thing.
Suggestions?
