~*~
Some point in our lives, we all
Feel darkness surround us
Despair
Hopelessness
Sadness
Betrayal
The evils that people cast upon each other
Sickening indeed…..
But that is the reality which we live in, a everyday test of our strengths
But, we can't just stop everything, life does not
Even though in the darkness you must remember
There is always a light that reaches towards you
We may not see it now
But it is their
When we lose our way
It is there
All we have to do is reach for it
And live…..
- To all of those who lost their way, I pray you will find the light again

Revelations
*********************************
Thunder roared onto the sky, as rain drop began to fall from the clouds, once again covering the city in it's blanket of water.
No one could hear her.
She screamed for aide but no one was up this late in the hour. The man grabbed her hair and pulled it, making her cry out. She felt him slam her to the ground, landing with a sickening thud. She screamed again but no one came, no one answered. He only smirked at her as he began to unbuckle his belt. Her eyes widen in fear as he suddenly grabbed both of her arms, pinning her on the floor, she cried and thrash as she felt him kiss her neck and began to unbutton her shirt.
No one came
The rain fell in bundles, never stopping, as the loud power boomed in the distance. "Shut-up" he snarled and slapped her, silencing her cries to whimpering. With a grin he continue but then stopped, as he heard footsteps walking towards them. He looked behind them and growled "What the fuck do you want"
The stranger didn't answer.
"Answer me shit face!" he snapped. "Let her go" was the strangers reply. The man laughed at this, kneeling up, but not before grabbing a part of her hair, pulling her up with him while she cried out in pain. "Or you'll do what?" he ask with a sickening smile, his eyes perverse. The stranger seem to take his answer in amusement.
He began to walk towards them again. "STAY BACK OR THE BITCH GET'S HER THROAT SLIT!!" he yelled, suddenly revealing a knife concealed in his clothing, abruptly pressing it to the girls neck. The Stranger Hn in amusement.
"I think not" he spoke. The guy let out a gasp as he felt his whole body froze. "What the hell!" he exclaimed. "Miss, I suggest you leave now, I do not wish to expose you to a horrific sight" the stranger spoke. The girl, taking his heed quickly ran from them both, now leaving them alone with the rain.
"What the hell did you do!" the man demanded. The stranger didn't answer him but walked, until he was standing before him. "You know, people like you disgust me" the stranger said. The man felt his body slowly crushing within itself he let out a gasp of pain.
"Thinking you can do what you please upon women who never done anything unto you" the stranger continued. Thunder crashed along with lightening revealing the features of the stranger, his crimson eyes burning with dark hatred.
"People like you, are the ones who lead women to despair and hopelessness. You don't care about the consequences" Yami growled. He raised his hand up. "What the fuck!" the man yelled. Yami did not answer him but place his hand on his forehead covering his face. The eye glowed on Yami's forehead and the man began to convulsed in pain.
"The pain feels unbearable, doesn't it" Yami replied in a monotone, the eye glowing brighter and the man screamed out in pain. "People like you, I hate you….pleasure from fear, sickening" he spoke and the mans body convulsed again and he let out another cry.
"Because of people like you…." he began, he gritted his teeth and the man look at him in fear "Please no…stop…" the man begged. "Anzu was shattered!!!' he yelled out, the eye glowing brightly and he froze before convulsing letting out a blood chilling scream unto the night. His body grew limp and Yami allowed it to fall unto the ground. He showed no emotion the body but left it to soak in the rain.
Water trickled from his being but it did not affect him no, it didn't affect him at all. That had been the fifth one he had caught tonight, he made a face, people sickened him sometimes. "Bastards…" he spoke to himself. Yet it wasn't him, the one who brought pain unto Anzu.
He would not rest, not until he found him, or kill every rapist in this city.
He heard another screen and grunted at this "Looks like another one…" he though and began to walk to wear the screams were heard.
"Another one, to add to the list….."

Anzu woke up with a yawn, looking around, finding herself on the floor still. She grimaced, suddenly remembering about last nights events. With a sigh, she picked herself up going up to the stairs.
The hot water brought relief upon her as it massaged her aching muscled, the droplet slid of her body and her eyes closed, enjoying the cleansing, but also in deep thought.
"Are you love in him or something?"
"I….I had to see you…."
"We are two halves of a whole, what Ryou loves I can't help but feel…."
"Don't worry, you're safe here…."
"What would you do If I let go?"
"You're sweet Anzu, but cruel…you didn't answer my question"
"I'm so confused…..I don't know what to do…" she spoke to herself. Memories resurfaced, some of Bakura, some Ryou, and some Malik. She stood there as in a trance the thought plaguing her. The water stopped as she left the stall, wrapping a towel around her body. She looked to herself in the mirror and flinch; this was where it all started, everything…….
Quickly she exited the bathroom and into her room a bit frightened. "Calm down" she spoke to herself. She let the towel fall off while she began to dress herself. She abruptly stop when she noticed the mirror casting her refection, along with her scars. She hugged herself, looking at herself in the reflection which the mirror cast off.
She let out a sad sigh at this. "Who can love….a body like this…" she said. The scars on her arms, legs, chest, torso, she felt a tear trickle down looking at her naked body reflected before her. "Why can't I remember….was it so bad….." she thought. She began to dress herself again "I should go see Ryou….I need to straighten things out with him….even though, I haven't done it myself…."
As she left her room and descended upon the stairs she abruptly stop looking down at the entrance "Mom, Dad" she spoke.
"Anzu, how are you feeling?" Her mother ask. She put on a smile "I'm fine, how about you dad?" she ask. He let out a tired smile to her "It'll take more than undercook food to put me to the grave" he answer giving her his confident daddy smiles (Girls you know what I'm talking about U.U….) Anzu made a face at this "Tosaan…" she could only reply.
"Are you going somewhere?" her mother spoke. Anzu nodded at this "Yeah, I have to talk to Ryou about something" she explained. She saw her parents look a bit nervous, she knew why. "All right but, please be careful" her mother pleaded. "Mom, Ryou's harmless" Anzu began.
"Anzu, no man is harmless, remember that" He father spoke his face hardening.
"Hai…" she replied. She past by them opening the door "I won't be long" she said before closing the door behind her. She let out another sigh as she walked there, her thoughts still confused but she had to apologized to him about last night. She looked around her, seeing everything alive and hearing cheers and laughter, she turned her head "I forgot, the carnival is still here…" she thought to herself. Much to her surprised she found herself in front of Ryou's door and gulped. She hesitated for a few minutes but gained her strength. She was about to knock on the door but it open before she had the chance.
"Oh….." she heard his voice. "Ryou, I need to talk to you, both of you…" she spoke. He remained silent at this "Do you want to come in?" he ask. "If that's all right with you" she answered. Ryou opened the door wider, allowing her to come into his home. He shut the door behind them and followed her into the living room.
She took in a deep breathe "Ryou….Bakura…..about last night…" she began.
"I don't want to hear about it"
She turned to him seeing him change to his dark "Bakura….." she began. He snorted at her "Bakura, I'm sorry….." she began. He turned from her "You always say sorry, why?" he suddenly said; this caught her off guard. "You so pathetic, you know that? Always apologizing, for nothing" he spat. She turned from him "I know, I m pathetic, that's why I came to apologize to you and Ryou…" she said.
"And what about him" she heard his raspy voice. "No, I came to you first" she replied. "But, you don't know….don't you….." he said. Anzu eyes widened and look to him seeing he reverted to Ryou "You don't know….who you want to be with….." Ryou said, a sad look swept through his eyes. "I know….even if you don't…" he said. He turned to her "But you want Malik…." he finished.
"What?" she said confused. Ryou sighed at this "Anzu, I, I can never help you, in the way Malik has been doing…he knows the same sufferings as you do….that's why…."
"WHAT ABOUT YOU!!" she shouted at him. Ryou eyes slightly widened at her outburst "Don't you know suffering like anyone else does?" she exclaimed to him. "Didn't you tell me…that your sister died and…..and you missed her…aren't you even sad to this day?" she ask him. Ryou remained silent at this "Ryou, why do have to cut yourself off? You and Bakura?" she ask. "Anzu…." he began. She walk to him and laid her head on his shoulder "You're just as important to me as everyone I love is…" she replied. "I'm sorry, I spoke out of place…" he whispered to her.
"Ryou…I think I'm ready….." she suddenly said. Ryou look to her "Ready??" he ask. No she couldn't possibly mean ready for THAT. "A-Anzu, wait, shouldn't you think this over?" he ask.
"No, I'm ready…." she repeated.
//B-Bakura….are you hearing what she is saying\\
\\ ……….. \\
//Bakura??//
\\ ….You better not leave me out\\
// O.o //
Ryou gulped at his darks response. His eyes met with Anzu's "A-Are you sure…? I don't want to force you--" he began. Anzu shook her head and smiled at him "Don't worry, I think I have the strength now….to go through with it" she said. "Anzu…" Ryou could only say and begin to lower his head, wanting to feel the warmth of her lips against his own.
He grabbed her waist abruptly and suddenly picked her up, while he kissed her. They broke away " Ryou….what are you doing?" she ask. "Uh….taking us to my bedroom?" he said a bit confused.
Anzu just stared at him
"Ryou, I meant I was ready to see who the rapist was…not have sex with you and Bakura…." she spoke her face a bit flustered at the thought. Ryou's face grew unbearably hot from embarrassment and set her down "Anzu I am SO sorry I didn't mean--" he began but just let his head and shoulders slumped.
Both looked at each other, a silence between them then….they began to laugh. It echoed through the empty house, breaking the tense atmosphere the two inhabitants created, until the laughter slowly died down. "Whooo, I think we needed that…"Ryou said while she nodded in agreement. "But, are you sure…" he began.
Anzu look to the floor and slowly nodded "Yes, it's time to end this" she spoke and turned to him "Can I count on you, to come with me?" she ask. He nodded "Both of us" he replied.
"Then lets go" she said. Ryou looked at her confused "Where?"
"I'm going to see Isis and ask her to let me see into my past, four months ago" she replied bluntly. Ryou's eyes widened "Are you sure that's wise?' he ask. "Isis has the tauk with her more than likely, and I'm sure she will allow me to do it" she explained.
"You really think you are that strong woman…" Bakura spat. "No, I don't but….I can't run away forever…" she replied to the dark yami, he remained silent at this. "Humph" he answered to her "Well, if you're not going to turn back, then I will go, just to see how far you will go" he said. Anzu smiled at this "Thank you….both of you.…"

Malik woke with a groaned, sitting up. "What the hell…" he spoke to himself. Slowly he began to stand, leaning on a wall for support, he looked around "Where am I?" he thought. He rubbed his head "Last night…" he said. He grimaced at it; his jaw and stomach still felt sore but also Marik also came out that night and he almost allowed him to. He was disgusted by himself "I let you almost…" he spoke to his dark but to his surprise received no answer.
He shivered suddenly and noticed he was drenched "I slept while it was raining? Shit.." he motioned. He looked around "Isis must be worried sick by now" he thought and began walking again. He rubbed his forehead he felt so hot "I must have caught a cold…" he spoke to himself.
As he walked towards the hotel he struggle to retain consciousness but he felt so hot and tired, his vision began to go blurry and he dripped in a cold sweat. "Can't stop now, Nee-san is worried about me by now…." he spoke to himself. He rubbed his forehead again and cough a bit while lugging his heavy body closer to the hotel but abruptly stop for a rest. He rested his eyes for a moment breathing deeply he suddenly slumped onto his knees trying to keep his consciousness. That was when he felt it, a sharp pain in his chest. He grabbed it and clenched his teeth "Shit" he cursed; Marik was trying to get out again. "I-I'm too weak to fight back…" he thought with horror. Slowly his vision began to fade "No…NO….I can't….." he thought to himself. He clenched his eyes "Ra…give me strength…sister…Rishid…please give me strength…" he prayed to himself.
He froze as he saw images come before him "What?" he thought to himself. They went by to fast for him to comprehend but he heard faint crying "What's happening? What is this?" he spoke to himself.
//Malik, let me take over// His dark spoke to him in haste. Malik snarled at him "How stupid do you think I am!" he snapped. //Malik let me take over if you want to save your sanity!!// his dark argued back. 'What the fuck are you talking about? How are YOU going to save MY sanity!" he argued back.
// Malik, I know what I'm saying!! NOW LET ME TAKE OVER!!!//
Another pain hit him and he almost fell to the ground, if his arms hadn't shot out and holding him up as support. Malik clenched his eyes he could feel the him forcefully making his way "Stop it, I'm not going to let you!!" he snapped. He froze again as more images came to him the crying returned "Who's crying…?" he whispered.
"Why….?"
His eyes opened at the faint whisper of the voice that suddenly echoed in his mind but it was short-lived as another wave of pain hit him and let out s pained cry "Fuck why is he so hell-bent now…!" he thought frantically. He began to pant as he felt his mind splitting apart "I'm not going to let you win!" he snapped. He finally felt Marik began to retreat and he sighed tiredly in relief.
//You have no idea of what you just done to yourself…// his dark spoke before reverting into the dark recess of Maliks mind. Malik try to stand, but ending falling back still panting tiredly; he was so weak, he could barely move. "What were those images? Who was crying?" he thought to himself as he closed his eyes and drifted into a fever induced sleep.
Malik opened his eyes "What the?" he thought surprised as he looked around "I'm back….home?" he thought to himself. Yes he was, back home underground in the darkness.
"Nee-san, for you"
"Thank you Malik"
He turned to the voices and a sad smile showed "I see…" he spoke; he was seeing his past as a child again. As he watch the young boy give the girl a necklace of flowers he was in a pensive state "I was so innocent back then…." he thought amused; he never thought things would turn out this way in truth and a sad look swept through his face.
"I hated him….because he restrained me to live in the darkness…" he thought to himself. He always hated the darkness how it engulfed everything around him so dark and cold yet he and his family were force to remain in it "I was so frightened that I was hateful….." he continue to look at the young boy that was him, now playing with Rishid and his sister laughing happily.
The boy suddenly went through Malik and stopped, Malik turned to see the child slump to his knees and began to cry "Huh?" he thought and walk toward him. He outstretched his hand "Hey are you ok?" he ask.
"Why….?" the child spoke. Malik look at him confused, the boy stood up, his shoulders shaking, and begin to turn to Malik growing older until Malik was face with an exact version of himself looking at him hatefully.
"Why!!" he snarled at Malik, his lavender eyes dark and angry. "N-Namu?" Malik suddenly spoke; surprised he even said that name. The other Malik seem to respond to this "You hateful bastard!" he snarled to him again. All of the sudden he lunged at him his hands grabbing unto Maliks neck and fingers grasping it as they both hit the ground. Malik could look at the other him in shock as he stared back with a deep hatred, squeezing his neck, stopping all oxygen.
Tears were streaming down Namu's face "Why did you kill me Malik!?! Why!!" he snarled at him. "Why did you kill me!!' he demanded. Malik look at him confused as he struggled to breathe for air.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about" he barely answered. "WHY DID YOU KILL ME!!!" he yelled at him. The anger in his eyes were piercing through his soul as Malik could only stared back petrified at his own fury before him and was replace in shock as Namu changed into Marik. Malik began to panic seeing his dark came back now strangling him instead of Namu
He tried to pry his hands off but he was too strong as the grip constrain his neck grew tighter "Why? Why did you have to create me? Why did I have to be born full of your hatred….." Marik spoke squeezing harder. Malik's eyes were lidded as they were locked on with Mariks slowly his hands slipped off of Mariks and fell to the ground . He ceased to breathe but he could still her his dark sigh.
"You must never remember….."
Malik….
"You must never know….."
Malik…wake up Malik…..
"It will just shatter you…aibou…."
Malik slowly opened his eyes, trying to focus where he was and was met with the smiling face of Anzu "Anzu? What are you doing here?" he spoke. "Shhh, Ryou and I found you knocked out near the hotel so we took you up there" she spoke to him wiping some stray locks back into place. "Were in my and neesan's hotel room then…?" he ask. Anzu nodded at this. "Rest some more, you had such a high fever, Ryou went to get a doctor to come and see you" she said.
"Mmmm…" he only replied as he felt her fingers caress his cheeks. "Your sister wasn't here so we had to ask the man to open up the room" she added.
"So…it's just us then…?" he whispered. "Yeah, for now, but you sleep some more…rest…." her voice soothing to him lulling him to comfort. "I had such a horrible dream…." he spoke without thinking. "What was it?" she asked. "I…I was strangling myself….then I turned into Marik….." he blurted and stop abruptly realizing his mistake. He felt her stroking fingers pull away he opened his eyes looking at her, expecting her to call him a liar.
"It's all right Malik; I sometimes still have bad dreams of battle city" she replied to him. Malik turned away "And it's because of me…" he said with shame. Anzu sighed at this "That's all in the past Malik, all of it" she spoke.
"What if it isn't?" he spoke.
Anzu turned to him while he looked away "When you were raped, it happen four months after battle city…what if it was revenge…" he suggested. "You may be right" she said. He turned to her "You don't think, one of the duelists….?" he stop, he didn't want such a horrific thought.
"Possible" she replied again. She seemed to be in a pensive state "I'm sorry I brought it up" he apologized. She shook her "Don't worry about it" she said. "Even now, I get bad memories…about it, when I learned the truth…of how I killed my own father…." he stop as he begin to raise his hands in front of him, looking at them "With these two hands.." he said in a whisper. Malik didn't know, but tears streamed down his face while his hands began to shake "Even now I could see the blood on them….his blood….because….."
"Malik, it wasn't your fault!"
Malik turn to her, her eyes were firm "It wasn't your fault," she repeated. "But, it was, I had so much anger and hatred….jealousy, it gave birth to my darkness…Marik, I created something so hideous and it was unleashed.." he continued; he didn't care if he would reveal this to her he just wanted to let it out. "How will I know….until it's too late? When he takes over again, and kills everyone I ever cared about? Isis…Rishid….You…." he said.
"Malik…?" she spoke. "Maybe it would be better, If I end it all….for everyone's sake…" he confessed to her. "As long as I live, then Isis will never be safe, in an instant, I know that he will come out……" he raised his hands reaching for his neck.
"S-Stop it!!" She yelled. Quickly she grabbed his hands away from his neck. He look at her "That's enough" she said. "How could you even think of doing something like that…you idiot…idiot!' she scolded at him. "But..." he began. "Don't you dare give me that , you know that isn't the way, it never is!" she cried to him. Tears came out from her " Why…Why do we always have to look for the cowards way out…?" she whispered to him.
"Because…we're weak…." he answered back. "I…I refuse to believe that!" she exclaimed. "Anzu?"
"Everything we've been through, doesn't that prove our strength? Happiness? Anger? Sorrow? Any of it? If you live to this point and give up now, then what's the point of even existing then?" she ask to him. "I never ask to exist" he spoke. Anzu suddenly let go of his hands and place her own on each side of his face until he was looking at a clear reflection of himself through her blue eyes.
"Then do you regret ever meeting? Do you hate your existence so much you regret meeting your sister? Rishid? Anyone who ever made a damn difference in your life?" she ask, her eyes burning into him. Malik was dumbfounded by this he never heard such passion in her words did she really care so much?
"Answer me; do you regret meeting?" she ask again.
"No….." he whispered. He hands raised up until they rested on each side of her face "I don't regret it…because I…. love you…….Anzu…" he spoke softly. He didn't give her a chance to react , and their lips met. Her eyes widen at this revelation she couldn't bring herself to close her eyes they were wide, full of confusion, she was paralyzed. The kiss he gave her was so full of need, want, as if this would be his last day and she would be the last person he would see. She could feel his fever blaze, or was it her own heat at the reaction to this? She didn't know.
Malik begin to deepen the kiss, his arms circled around her waist pulling him to her, while she was still in a dazed "Anzu…" he breathed, he couldn't stop himself all these suppressing feelings, urges, they were to much now. His tongue slipped in and begin to explore every inch of her mouth, he laid her on the bed, going on top of her. He pulled away and begin kissing her neck, his hands trailing down resting on her hips.
Anzu eyes widen as she begin to register what was happening at the moment "M-Malik…" she began but he didn't heed her. His hands begin to move again, slowly, and they begin to go under her shirt. Her eyes went wide when she felt the warmth of his hands caressing her skin underneath, tenderly moving upper little by little. "M-Malik…" she began again but couldn't find her voice she suddenly felt so powerless, she couldn't move.
Malik was lost in the urge, the need, his tongue flickered across her collar bone tasting her skin and he relished how she felt underneath his hands "So soft…..warm…." he whispered to himself.
//She is, isn't she? This is what you wanted all along, you can't deny it anymore…..do it//
Malik's breath became heavy he was too lost, urge only fueled him, Marik urged him….as his voice…..leading his body. Anzu begin to struggle against him but he was too heavy but she knew that he was having a delusion, his whole body was heated from a mixture of fever and pleasure, and something else, like something was possessing him.
She jolted when she felt one of his hands began to go lower, first it stopped, rubbing her stomach in soothing circles before it began to go a bit lower "No….I have to stop this!" she thought frantically. She try to move, fight back, anything, but he wouldn't budge "Malik….please……stop" she spoke before whimpering. Malik eyes snapped open at her frighten voice and looked at her bewildered "What was I?" he began and abruptly stop realizing what had happen, what he was attempting to do.
He pulled away from her, kneeling up, breathing hard looking at her face before raising up his hands and looking at them. Anzu slid away, beneath him looking at him a bit more than surprised. He clenched his teeth and eyes knowing only too well what had driven him to go further than implied.
"Malik…." she began. "Anzu….leave….please" he suddenly spoke. Her eyes widen "Malik it--" she began.
"PLEASE LEAVE!!!" he snapped to her, causing a light gasp of surprise to escape from her. He opened them they suddenly look so dull, so dead, he rubbed his forehead. He groaned before closing his eye and falling on her, too weak to keep conscience once again. She look at him solemnly before getting off the bed, laying him down, and putting the sheets against him.
*knock, knock*
She jolted at the sound before hearing a voice "Anzu? I came with the doctor" Ryou said behind the door. Anzu quickly walk to it and opening the door. Her eyes widen in disbelief "R-Reyako-sensei??" she said in shock. The good doctor smiled to her "Hello Anzu, it's nice to see you again" he replied as he walked in, along with Ryou.
"How? When?" she began. Ryou turned to her "Well while I was looking for one I happen to see him walking and he saw me…er…he begin to interrogate me…heh" he explain with a sheepish smile. "This is him right?" Reyako ask, standing right besides the slumbering body. She nodded in reply and Reyako proceeded to examine him, he felt his forehead and wince "He's so hot…" he began.
Anzu remained silent at this; Bakura seemed to noticed her uneasiness. Reyako continue to examine Malik and made a face "How did you find him?" he ask.
"We found him outside" Ryou spoke. The doctor wince again "He must have slept through the rain…." he began. "Did you already check for anything to calm it down?" he spoke. "We didn't" Anzu finished. He made a pensive face at this, quickly with a paper and pen he wrote something "ok, I want you two to go to the nearest pharmacy store and get these antibiotics, please hurry, he seems to be in a very critical state" he ordered.
Both nodded and proceeded out the door, leaving Malik behind in the doctors care. Reyako turned to him seeing him wither slightly, in a grips of a dream He checked his forehead again "….so hot…." he spoke. Malik clenched his eyes "No….I can't….I can't…." he began. Reyako look at him confused.
"I can't…I won't….let you free……."
As the elevator went down, both Anzu and Ryou remained silent, until Bakura broke the silence. "What happen…" he spoke. Anzu turned to him "What?" she ask. "Don't play stupid with me, what did he do to you!?" he snap at her. "Bakura…" she began. He turned to her and grabbed her arm "Woman, I have been more than patient at this, so tell me, what did he do to you!" he spoke harshly.
"I don't regret it…because I…. love you…….Anzu…"
"He was having delusions…." she began. "He touched you, didn't he" he cut her off. Anzu remained silent at this while Bakura clenched his fists at this but said nothing more. The elevator stopped and both exited heading to the nearest pharmacy store.
"Thank you for coming"
"Isis, why have you called me?" Shadi spoke. Isis turned from him, his eyes averted "After the duel with Kaiba and I the tauk no longer show me the future or the past, am I correct?" she spoke. Shadi seem surprise by the question.
"Tell me, is that true?" she spoke.
"Isis, did something happen?" he began. Isis was hesitant at this. "Isis, if there is something I must know, you must tell me" he spoke. She nodded her head "Remember, when you said that Marik was never banished into the shadow realm?" she ask. He nodded "Yes, It was very unfortunate to your family, I am sorry."
"Four months ago….something horrible happen to one of the pharaohs friends, Anzu Mazaki. She was raped….and been inflicted with so much pain and sorrow…." she spoke. Shadi looked at her with cautious eyes "The tauk, it showed me…..it showed me….who did it to her….." she began the tears burning.
Shadi eyes widen, when she felt the young Egyptian women embrace him, sobbing loudly "Isis….." he thought as they both slumped to the ground, and he held her.
"Why……why…." she could only stutter out to him, holding on to him as they remain. The sun had far past been settled in the distance and darkness of the night engulf the city, bringing with it more clouds of thunder and rain.
/*/*/**/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*
Malik looked around him, seeing he was in a location he did not know "What? What am I doing hear?" he thought to himself.
He suddenly rubbed his head then a sharp pain erupted and he cried out clasping his head "No…..not again…." he thought to himself. He fell to his knees "No….no….." he spoke to himself. He shook trying to suppress him. His eyes widened when he felt his whole body numb and his worst fear had came true.
"No…" he thought, as blackness engulfed his sight.
"Uh….my head…."
"Why? Why are you doing this?"
"What? Who's there?"
"Please….please stop……."
The rain beat softly outside the stronghold, Malik could hear it, all of the sudden he felt heat surging with him and he let out a sharp gasp as the wave hit him. "What…what…." he try to began but gasp out when another wave of heat coursed writing him.
What's happening…."
That's when he saw it, images flashing before his eyes, and he couldn't look away. The rain outside, the small window, the blood dripping, the torn clothes, the hands tied against the railing. The moving of the bed, all of it.
"Yuugi….Jounouchi….help me…."
"No…..please….no……"
The heat, the cries, they were so real…so familiar……as he felt his body thrust his breathe, heavy…..and the heat unbearable. Finally, he opened his eyes, and they paled at the sight before him.
Anzu screamed out in pain as her head bobbed and she whimpered cried for help. Malik was paralyzed…he couldn't move that's when he saw it….he saw who it was…….
"No……No…." he spoke to himself as he saw the man arch up his eyes closed in a pleasured haze as blood, her blood was smeared and drip from his body. Malik's heart stop, he cease breathing as he felt the world around him shattered.
And he let out bloodcurdling cry.
Doctor Reyako jolted from his seat, and look to the room, quickly he ran to it, opening the door with haste "Mr.Ishtar what is--" he began but was cut off when he felt himself slamming into the ground with two hands gripping at his neck. The doctors eyes were in a mixture of bewilderment and panic as he look to the dark skin youth who was choking him, his eyes disoriented, sweat dripping from him. He try to fight back, to try and pry off his grip but the boy was so strong and soon he saw nothing but black.
Malik let go of his grip seeing the man now unconscious, slowly, he lifted away from him walking unsettle away from it. He found himself in the kitchen he look around and begin to trash it. Throwing papers, ceramic anything, throwing the table , punching the ground while letting out wild cries.
"Oh Ra….oh Ra….." he spoke in pants burying his face in his hands while his shoulders shook at the revelation.
/You were never suppose to find out……this is why I fought so hard against you……../
"You made me….you made me….."
"Why….why……how could you…" he couldn't even finish his sentence. He picked himself up only to throw another fit of disgust, breaking everything in sight until he felt his hand in pain. He look at it, seeing it was bleeding his eyes trailed down, the slightly stained knife, reflecting the moonlight off of it.
In a dazed he picked it up looking at it in a strange fascination ?
/ Malik….I can make the pain go away, let me take over/ his dark spoke.
Malik didn't answer him. An estranged smile came to his face his eyes glazed as if in a trance "No….You won't hurt anyone no more…..I….won't hurt anyone anymore…." he spoke softly. He was on his knees almost in a prayer position and slowly, begin to raise up the kitchen knife, a small laugh escape from him.
"We will both burn….in hell…..for eternity…."
Lighting flash in a split second, before the rain began it's bombardment against all around it. The knife came down and the sharp steel penetrated into his soft flesh. Blood seep from it, coloring his shirt and a trickle began to escape from the cracks of his mouth as he stabbed himself in the chest, to the intended target; his heart. Slowly, his hands let go of the handle and they fell to the sides of his body while he remain in the kneeling position, his eyes losing color, life, every passing second as the blood dripped from the wound.
"Isis…..I'm sorry….I'm sorry….Anzu….." he spoke, a small tear escape from him before he slumped to the floor, the blood beginning to pool around his body.
"I'm sorry……"

Isis was silent along with Shadi, while they went up the elevator "Isis…." he began but stop, seeing her attention was on something else. He only sighed at this as the elevator came to a stop, both exited it. Getting the key out , she began to unlock the hotel door. The door creaked open "Malik?" she spoke but received no answer. A groan caught her attention and saw a man sprawled against the carpet "Oh my goodness…" she spoke and rush into the room along with Shadi. She kneeled to the man "M-Mr.Ishtar…." he begin to say. Hey eyes widen in fear "Malik!!" she thought to herself. She stood up "Shadi, my brother, is he here?" she spoke but noticed Shadi wasn't besides her anymore.
"Shadi?" she called out and saw him standing front of the kitchen "Shadi?" she began he turned to her and embraced her suddenly "Isis, do not look!!" he exclaimed holding to her. "Malik, he's in there? How hurt is he…!?" she demanded struggling against him "No Isis, you mustn't go in there!" he pleaded.
"LET ME GO!!!" she screamed and pushed him away running to the kitchen. She stopped, and gasped at the sight before her, she did not blink, nor breathe. Her frame began to shake and she fell to her knees right in front of the body of her brother, with a knife protruding out of his chest, the pool of blood surrounding his body.
