Chapter 2 of Rain's Pitbull
Malik tried to get on his feet but fell to the ground.
Serenity: "Malik, you shouldn't try to walk. Your way to weak."
Malik: "I'll be fine."
Serenity: "No! Lay down!" Malik just ignored her.
Malik: "I'm going out."
Serenity: "Malik!" The door shut and Malik was gone. Serenity looked around. "Where's Faller?"
Outside
Malik was just wondering around aimlessly. It was a warm day but he felt cold. Malik stopped at a weird sound. He looked around but didn't see anything or anyone. He looked forward and there in front of him was Faller. "Where'd did you come from? I guess you followed me outa the house. Oh well, it'll be nice company." They both walked on. They seemed to be in a more abandoned part of the city. It seemed to be behind huge buildings and looked like a town that the city was built over. There wasn't anyone outside the little houses or anyone he knew of at all. Malik and Faller started walking down some steps that seemed to lead out of the place they were in. About a quarter down Malik started feeling incredibly weak and tired. He started breathing heavy as his vision blurred. "Guess I really am sick." Faller looked up at Malik who know sat on a step holding the bar. He was able to stand up with the help of the bar and continued walking down the steps. He could have sworn he kept hearing things like running water and a cold wind. But he was in a city surrounded by skyscrapers and cities usually didn't have many rivers. There were only various puddles from the storm yesterday. Finally they reached the bottom and unfortunately the end of the bar that ran along the steps. Faller made a wining sound seeing how Malik was struggling. He looked down at his companion, smiled, and said "Everything will be alright, don't worry." and so the continued walking. By now Malik was completely out of it, however he noticed that they were a few blocks from the school which wasn't so far from the game shop. Knowing this he started running to get somewhere using up his energy faster. He turned the corner.
Joey: "I hope Maliks ok."
Yugi: "Ya." School was out so they were walking home. "Damn why do they give so much homework."
Joey: "I got kicked out of class."
Yugi: "Again" he said with a smirk.
Joey: "It's only been....uhh...." Yugi had a puzzled look on his face. "I lost count. But I'm proud for some reason and of my low grades!!"
Yugi: "Nice job." Still having a smirk on his face. His smirk was wiped off his face when someone bumped into him though. "ow."
Joey: "Malik!?"
Yugi: "huh?" Yugi looked up. Malik had a half awake look on him. Next to him Faller held his ears pinned back as rain once again fell over the city. Malik closed his eyes and let himself fall. Yugi was too small to catch him so Joey did. Yugi picked up Faller.
Joey: "Malik! Wake up!"
Malik's dream
Malik hit the water and was pushed under. He couldn't breath for several seconds and even when he could put his head above the water a lot of what he breathed in was water. After awhile of being tossed around, the river shallowed and he was able to grab the bank and pull himself out with a lot of work. He made paw prints in the sand that sunk under his feet. Slowly walking into the grass; he tried to be as quiet as possible for a few reasons. 1) He didn't know what was going on and 2) There was probably something or someone out there. He came upon a clearing and had the feeling ever since he got out of the water that someone was following him. Malik heard things moving around him, footsteps, rustling of bushes, and even breathing. Someone was approaching him from behind.
Out of Malik's dream
Yugi: "Grandpa! Grandpa!"
Mr. Moto: "What is it Yugi? What's with all the yelling?" Looking behind Yugi he saw Joey holding up Malik. "What happened?"
Yugi: "Malik passed out!"
Mr. Moto: "That's not good at all."
Joey: "You think?"
Mr. Moto: "Well take him upstairs and I'll see if I can find something to help him." Yugi, who was still holding Faller, and Joey rushed upstairs to a guest bedroom that Malik used when he came over.
Yugi: "Malik wake up!"
Inside Malik's dream
Malik noticed an extra shadow and looked behind him quick. Someone casted in shadow was behind him holding something then...
Malik popped out of his dream. He couldn't get up, someone was holding him down. Once his vision came back he saw Joey holding him down. Mr. Moto and Yugi, with Faller, were next at the nightstand looking at medicines they had. Malik opened his mouth to try and speak but no sound came out.
Joey: "Dun worry, we're gunna help you."
Malik: "What's going on?" He waited for a response but couldn't hear well while still half unconscious.
