Oh Brother!

Chapter 12

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So now our group has a total of eight people. The Hikari's Yugi, Ryou, Pegasus, and Isis. Along with the yami's Bakura, Aishisu, Akunadin, and myself. It is quiet a group. Mainly because we have four normal people, along with a Pharaoh, a Tomb Raider, and two Priests. I guess you just learn to cope with it. Right now we were in the main room.well technically the only room. We were in a room. Anyways, we were in the room playing a card game with the deck of cards in Ryou's pocket. I wonder how long they have been there.oh well. It was actually the four Hikari's playing the game. The four yami's were watching near by. Akunadin stood behind Pegasus, trying to learn the game. Across from them was Yugi who was smiling happily. Ryou sat next to Yugi and across from him was Isis. The Egyptian woman was starting to look better.

"Ah ha! I won again! In your face Yugi!" Ryou said in triumphant.

Yugi pretended to glare at him. "You cheated!"

"How could I? Pegasus is the owner of the Millennium Eye not me. He would be most likely to cheat."

"Hey!" Pegasus yelled offended.

The four started to laugh. I even saw a smile on Bakura's face. He was standing behind Isis while Aishisu stood behind Ryou. I was curious with that arrangement. I stood near by observing it all.

As they laughed Isis leaned forward and gathered all the cards. She shuffled them and passed them out. Soon the game was started up again. As the game proceeded I noticed that Ryou was taking the lead again. He seemed to know what Isis cards were and knew how to play the game. After awhile she sighed and put her cards down.

"Are you okay Isis?" Asked Yugi concern. I thought maybe she was getting sick again.

"No, I'm okay. I'm just waiting for Bakura to stop cheating." She turned her head and smirked at him.

"I am not cheating!" Bakura yelled defensively.

"Yes you are! Your looking at my cards and telling Ryou what they are."

"Am not!"

"Bakura, when you stand behind be whispering 'your left, no your other left' makes me wonder."

Bakura blushed and everyone started to laugh again. When the group settled down we sat in a circle to talk.

"So, how many dose it make?" Asked Yugi.

Isis looked a little confused but Aishisu answered. "It is eight."

"So that leaves my brother and Shadi." Isis sighed sadly.

"Where is your brother?" I asked her.

"Far away I hope." She replied.

"How do we warn him of the danger he's in?"

"He already knows."

"What!" Yelled the rest of the group in surprise.

"Yes he learned the same day that I did. It was after Battle City and after Yami purified his mind, he returned back to Egypt with me. We were living together. One evening we were alone talking when the prophecy happened. I must have blacked out from the intensity because I had awoken with my head in his lap. He looked down at me and I told him that we were going to be captured." She explained.

"How did Malik respond to that?" I heard Ryou ask.

"Well.he told me not to worry and sent me to bed. When I awoke the next day he was gone."

"Gone?"

"Yes, all of his stuff was packet and The Millennium Rod, and him were gone. The only thing that I had was these note that he wrote to me. I still have it now."

We watched as Isis reached into a pocket and pulled out a neatly folded up not. She opened it up and read it to herself before passing it to me. I glanced down and read the note to myself.

"Its from Malik alright. He wrote in hieroglyphics. It says. 'Dear Isis, Dearest sister, your prophesy from this evening scares me. We must not let the millennium items be gathered. I have decided to go into hiding. I think that you should do the same. I promise to protect you from any harm, my sister. I will contact you again as soon as I know it is safe. Your Brother, Malik.'"

"So he ran."

"It was for the best."

"Where is he now?"

"I don't know, but I hope he is safe from the wrath of Selena."

"LET GO OF ME BITCH!!" Yelled a voice from across the room.

Isis and I stood up and looked over. Isis gasped as we watched Selena come into the room. The accursed rope of her was tied around a young Egyptian man. The man was young and angry. He had messy white hair that was wildly spiked. He also had violet eyes and multiple gold rings around his neck. He was wearing a white outfit that had no sleeves on his shirt. The outfit was covered with a black robe. A golden rod was clutched tightly in his hand.

Selena had a tight grip on the rope and was trying to control him. He kept thrashing about and screaming.

"When you let me go, I swear Im going to kill you!"

"Malik." Isis called out taking a step forward.

The man stopped fighting once he heard her voice. He looked over at us and Isis sad eyes met Malik's dangerous.

"Isis." He muttered.

Selena noticed how he suddenly relaxed and smirked. The silver rope glowed and Malik started to scream. He being shocked trhough the rope. Isis watched in horror at the sight, a tear appearing in her eyes.

"Stop.STOP! Stop it plese!" She screamed as tears streamed down her face.

"Knock it off Selena!" I yelled at the crazed woman.

"No way! I am having too much fun!." She laughed and made the rope shock Malik harder. His screaming increased.

"Malik!" Screamed Isis.

Bakura stood there staring at the injured Malik to the crying Isis. He reached out an dtouched her sholder gently. She turned to him and cluched his hand.

"Please help him Bakura. Help my brother."

Bakura stared at the woman that he was actually showing feelings for, her pleading eyes cut through his heart. He squeezed her hand and smiled. He leaned down and gently kissed her forehead.

"I'll save him." He reassured her.

Bakura brushed past her and walked over to me. His sudden appearance surprised me. He looked at me and smirked.

"If we combine the powers of our Millennium Items we will be able to knock her of." He told me.

"If we do, will the attack injure Rosetta?"

"I doubt it."

I nod to him and he nods back. We then faced Selena, side by side, with a smirk. I started to concentrate all the powers and I could feel them grow in my puzzle. Next to me Bakura is doing the same. Suddenly the powers leave the objects and blast towards Selena. They combine in midair giving them more power. I watched as Selena stared wide-eyed at the on coming blast. She didn't have enough time to block it. The beam hit her and she is forced to let go of the rope and goes flying backwards. Before she hits the wall she dissolves and disappears.

"That's that." Bakura says smiling.

Malik unconscious body slumps to the group. He was about to hit the floor when Isis caught him. She gently lowers him down and lies him on her lap.

"Malik, are you okay? Can you hear me?" Isis asked gently running her fingers through his messy hair.

"Isis.I'm sorry." He finally mutters to her.

"For?"

"Not protecting you."

"How so?"

"I was searching for you. I had heard that you were caught from some of my sources so I went after you. But I let my guard down one day and I was captured."

She smiled down at him. After a few moments he passed out. She laid him on the floor and stood up.

"Will he be okay?" Asked Yugi.

"Yes little one. Once he rests a bit he will be just fine."

She looks over at Bakura and smiles.

"Thank you so much."

He nods back and turned to walk away. She ran over to him and lightly kisses him on the check. I smile as Bakura walks away blushing. A teasing Ryou follows him.

"Well.I guess that make a total of ten now." Remarked Isis.

"Ten?"

"Yes, don't you remember that Malik has a yami? He named it Marik."
