Chapter 5 - Regret

Isis blinked, so many different colours seeped intot her watery blue eyes, there was so much to take in. She groaned slightly and allowed her eyes to open fully and adjust to the lights and colours and she took in her surrounfings. She was in a small room, with a chest in the corner, some drawers and she was laying on a bed much more comftable then her own had been. She saw the sun shinning theoguh the window which she had never seen before because in the tunnels there was no windows.

Then, she looked down at herself, she was wearing a long white dress that she had not seen before and under it she felt tight bandages wrapped around her stomach and her back, they were slightly blood stained. She put a hand to her head and sat up slowely.

Suddenly the door oepneed and she lay back down again, pretending to be asleep, she didn't see who came in. "Are you awake yet?" she heard a soft voice ask, she sensed she was nto in any danger and so she opened her eyes.

Before her, stood a small boy, which long black hair that seemed to fly everywhere, he must only be about eight, Isis asumed. He looked at her and held out a glass of water for her. "Are you ok?" he asked.

Isis did not answer straight away, it was all new to her, she only remebered seeing the sun, and her father . . . she thought about escaping . . . Then she let those feelings fade away and she turned her attention to the boy. "Who are you?" she asked, the obvious thing.

"My name is Mokuba" he said, Isis had no memory of that name, "my brother found you and we brought you here to help you" then, he offered her the water one more time.

"Oh . . ." she said, lots of feelings were buzzing through her, it was alot to take but at least the pain had died down. She took the glass and looked at her face in the clear water. Without thinking she put it to her lips and downed it, she had never tasted water so freash. "So . . . where am i? and who is your brother?" she asked finally, putting the glass on the bedside table, there was so much she needed to know

"Your at his home" Mokuba said, smiling sweetly, "his name is Seto Kaiba, he said he had seen you before" Isis gasped, Seto Kaiba . . . the man that saved her, she remebered him . . . and now, he found her and saved her again. "Are you sure your ok?" Mokuba asked again.

Isis nodded slightly, she did not feel any pain anymore just shock. She had escaped and her hero had found her, it was wierd . . .

Suddenly there was a kncok at the door and Seto himself looked into the room. "she's awake Seto!" Mokuba cried with excitment in his little voice. Isis saw Seto raise his mouth slightly, as if he was about to smile.

"How are you?" he asked Isis, closing the door.

"Shocked . . ." she sighed, she felt like she could open out to this guy.

"Mokuba, please take that glass down to the kitchen, i need to talk with Isis" Kaiba said, looking his little brother in the eyes. Mokuba nodded and picked up the glass, walking out slowly and closing the door behind him.

"How did you find me?" Isis asked straight away, she knew it must be destiny . . .

"If you must know i followed you" Kaiba said, "i thought you were different, wierd, was the word i used in my mind" Isis seemed quite shocked at how honest he was being, "so i was curious as to where you had come from and when i saw you climb over the wall i dechided to follow you. I saw you walk off into the desert, and then i just thought you must live there somewhere, and so i turned away to walk off. But not more then ten minutes later i found you lying there, like you had been"

Isis groaned, she did not wish to remeber her home, she just thought she'd ask the questions and get the answers she needed, Seto was very open and he did not seem like he was hiding anything, "so why did you go back?"

Seto eyed her, she asked to many questions . . . but still, he answered them. "I was curious to where you had gone. But i only made ti in time to see you lying there, your brother was gone." and with that he stopped and looked at her, his eyes servaying her body.

Isis shivered slightly, he may be new but there was something about him . . .

"And now, i want to ask a question" Kaiba said, "What happened to you?"

Isis saw her father whipping her almost straight away, she heard Marik's screams, Rashid's painful cries . . . her father was mental. "I . . . we were attacked and they took my brother" she sniffed, a tear rolled down her check and she realized it for the first time.

She had left Marik . . .

She began to cry and turned away from Seto, she did not want to look like this in front of him, she watched the sun dancing on ther wall as her eyes blurred up with tears, how could she have left him? she left everyone . . . she just ran . . .

"So, do you have a home you would want to be getting back to?" Seto asked, trying to ingore her crying. "I'ed be able to get someone to take you there"

Isis wiped her eyes, "no" she sniffed, turning once again to look at him, "my mother died several years ago . . . and i don't have a father" the words hit her hard, as if they themselves were the true pain.

Seto looked down on her, she was an orphan, "all you had was your brother" he said, taking the imfromation from her very own words. Isis nodded, she felt no wrong in the lies she was telling.

Isis suddenly felt the pain in her back again and she screwed up her face, trying to lay back down again. "you need to rest" Seto said, coming closer to her and bending down so that his face was very close to hers. "now, you can rest, later, i will help you get sorted out"

"Sorted out?" Isis asked, her voice going into a whisper.

"I will find shelter for you, you'll be ok, trust me" he said, standing back up fully and watching her lying on the bed, she was all alone now . . .

"Thank you" Isis said, closing her eyes, she did not want to think about anything, it was stupid what she had done, and now how could she ever go back? She heard Kaiba close the door firmly on his way out of the room and she began to cry once more. The pain overcoming her body for a second time . . .

"How coudl i have been so stupid!" she said to herself . . . She had left Marik, left Rashid . . . she was in some room with a stranger, who promised to help her . . . but what of her brother?

As she tried to fall into a dreamless sleep all that filled her head were Marik's screams . . . then his voice. "Sister . . ." he cried, "Where are you? why did you leave me . . . come back . . . help me Isis!" he cried and she grabbed her head.

Then his image faded into darkness, and Isis knew she had done the wrong thing, she had to go back and help him . . . but she coudln't, not yet . . .

"Sister . . ." his voice rolled throguh her head as she drifted off into her dark sleep . . .
