C-F: Hoo, chapter 6! Wow.
Marik: They're probably bored by now.
C-F: ToT Probably... Most likely because I haven't had their characters say much...
Freai: Or do much.
C-F: *wince* But, wow, I have somethin' like SIXTY reviews! My other fic doesn't have that many... Also, if you are noticing I'm not very consistent with who's head you are seeing things from, it's because I can't fit into to everyone's head, because I have to be in a certain mood for the character, know the creator well (as I do mamono, junana107, Professor Rose Thorn and Jenny Hall), or just be terribly like the character (such as Marik).
Seto: Let's just get on with the fic!
C-F: Yes ma'am.
Seto: *twitch*
Marik: R&R! And mamono, you are going to kill C-F.
C-F: P.s. I have a fic to suggest, seven, actually: Red Eyes; Freai Woxzema; Freai In the Sands of Egypt; mamono Experiment Chibi; mamono Vampire Game; angelus_2040 YuGiOh: The Virtual War; junana107 Do or Fry! A Truth or Dare Fic; junana107 (co-written by yours truly)
Also, I'm sorry it took me so long to get this out, here are the reasons: 1) I can only work at night. (I can't think well during the day). 2) I have been super tired all week. 3) The one night I did manage to stay up I was finishing a Vampire Marik drawing.

Wish 6: Some Mysteries Revealed

"Shouldn't I go since I'm not a Demon Hunter?" asked Bonnie.
"No." I replied.
"Since you know about the Demon Hunters you practically are one." added Pyra.
"And vampires are very useful to the Demon Hunters." added Zarah.
"And vampires are always either on our side, or on Lord Dwarntenankh's side." finished André, who had arrived a short time ago.
"Lord Dwarntenankh?" asked Bonnie.
"One of his wizards is responsible for you getting that fortune cookie a few months ago." replied Artemis.
"And thus being, he must be after you or someone around you, and if you are on our side, you may cause him more harm than good." added Von Stupor.
Silence.
"Where'd Shadi and Odion go?" asked Catra.
"They went to Egypt." said Bonnie.
We all looked at her.
"To a certain labyrinth of caves to be exact." she added.
"You mean-?" asked Marik.
"Yes." she replied.
"Enlighten us, please." said Von Stupor.
"To the caves I grew up in." replied Marik, simply.
"Why?" I asked.
"I don't know." said Marik.
"SORRY I'M LATE!!!!" called a familiar voice.
I saw Bonnie's eye twitch.
Ishizu ran in.
"I am soooo sorry that I'm late!" said Ishizu.
Bonnie stood up abruptly drawing a nasty sword out from under the table.
"What makes you think that you are invited, Ishitzu?" asked Bonnie coldly as she put the tip of the sword under Ishizu's chin.
"Because I have some news that might interest a few, if not all, of you." Ishizu replied.
I stood up, BIG gun in hand.
"What kind of news would interest us?" asked Rose, coldly.
"The kind where I tell you that Mokuba is in Lord Dwarntenankh's castle, about to be tortured." replied Ishizu.
"YOU LIE!" yelled Seto standing up.
"She doesn't." said Bonnie, "Give me one good reason, Ishitzu, why I shouldn't slit your throat right now?"
"I thought that was a fake sword!" said Artemis.
"I don't carry around something unless it might be useful." replied Bonnie.
"I can take you to Dwarntenankh." said Ishizu.
"We'll find him ourselves, thanks." I said.
"Fine. Mokuba's life." said Ishizu with a shrug.
Bonnie growled and slammed the hilt of her sword against Ishizu's temple.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" yelled Odion as he and Shadi appeared.
"She." said Bonnie, "Took Mokuba hostage and took him to Dwarntenankh."
Shadi and Odion gaped.
"And she wasn't under mind control." added Marik.
"Bonnie?" asked Jenny with a gulp, "Where did you get that sword?"
"On the internet." replied Bonnie as she sheathed it.
"What are you doing?" I asked as Bonnie and Pyra knelt down next to Ishizu.
"There is a type of poison-" started Bonnie.
"-that will change a person's way of thinking-" said Pyra.
"-to the master's will." finished Bonnie.
"That-" Yugi started.
"-was freaky." finished Marik.
Bonnie took out a nasty looking pocketknife and slashed Ishizu across the palm.
"Bonnie, that was a little deeper than needed." said Zarah.
Bonnie shrugged.
~~~~Bonnie
^Bonnie, you didn't need to slash her that deep.^ remarked Marik.
I gave him a look.
"Are we missing something?" asked Erin.
"We-" started Marik.
"-can tell-" I added.
"-what the other-" said Marik.
"-is going to say." I finished.
"Ahhh, so you are a vampire, I thought that the Demon was lying." remarked Jenny.
I gave her a look that said "You ARE stupid after all".
"So, Shadi, Odion, what were you doing in Kemet?" I asked.
"Kemet?" asked Zarah.
"Black earth, or Egypt in Ancient Egyptian." Marik replied.
"Who said we were in Egypt?" asked Odion.
"I did." I replied, "I saw Shadi writing the spell to transport y'all there."
"Shoot." muttered Shadi.
"Bang." I said sarcastically.
Shadi gave me a look.
"We were refreshing our knowledge of Ancient Egypt." replied Odion.
"Ahhhh." I said.
I noticed that since I had been holding a vial of Ishitzu's blood almost everyone had been giving me an odd look.
"Pyra, a beaker, if you will?" I asked as I shook the vial.
^You know why everyone is giving you an odd look, don't you?^ asked Marik.
^Of course.^ I replied, ^They are wondering if I am going to DRINK Ishitzu's blood. Blech. I'd rather just kill the wench.^
"Here." said Pyra as she handed me a beaker.
I poured the blood into it and rummaged around in a bag to get out some chemicals.
"What are you wrinkling your nose for?" asked Jenny.
"Blood smells just about as horrible as it tastes." I said, darkly, "I feel sorry for Wolverine now."
Jenny rolled her eyes.
I swirled the blood and chemicals around and around in the beaker, then gaped as the mixture began to froth.
"What?" asked Artemis.
The beaker exploded, gouging my hands and arms in the process.
"Are you alright?" asked Marik worriedly as he came over and gently took hold of an arm.
"What caused THAT?" asked an unfamiliar voice.
"Oh, hey, Mel, there you are." said André.
I winced as I pulled a chunk of glass out of my arm.
"At least it wasn't needles." I muttered.
"Speaking of which-" started André.
I went cold.
"We need some blood samples." he finished.
I hid behind Marik with a yelp.
"I told you." said Jenny.
"Eh hem!" said the voice.
"Oh, sorry, Mel." sighed Yuki, "Bonnie, this is Meloney Hawthorn, Mel this is Bonnie Price."
I said "hi" but continued to cower behind Marik.
André picked up the pieces of glass I'd pulled out.
"Who needs a needle when you have these?" asked André as he slipped the pieces of glass into a bag.
I stood up as I heard a groan.
"I swear." I muttered.
"What?" asked Mel.
I waltzed over to the now awake Ishitzu.
"Owwwwwwwwwww..." moaned Ishi(t)zu.
"Put a sock in it." I snapped and kicked her across the temple.
"THAT was not very nice." said Von Stupor.
"I'm not always nice to those who are mean to me." I replied.
"Uh, Bonnie?" said Jenny, disturbed.
"Wha?" I asked.
She pointed at my arm.
I watched in utter amazement as the gashes healed themselves.
"THAT was neat." said Rose.
I heard a loud crash and drew my sword, again.
~~~~Marik
^What is it?^ I asked Bonnie as she drew her sword.
"I heard something." she replied out-loud.
"What was it?" asked André, but the ground throwing us all up in the air answered him.
I landed un my back, getting the wind knocked out of me.
"That." rasped Bonnie, who, so it seemed, had landed half on her side and half on her stomach.
"Ohhhh, that hurt." groaned Mel.
I heard a footstep.
"Well, well, well." said Ishizu, "You all having a little lie-down?"
I heard Bonnie start to get up.
"OOOFFF!" grunted Bonnie as Ishizu's foot connected with her stomach.
"STOP IT ISHIZU!!!" I snapped, the only reply to that was for me to get thrown into a wall by the ground.
"You..." panted Bonnie, her voice full of pain.
I looked over to see that Ishizu was grinding her foot into Bonnie's rib cage.
"Are...a traitor...to the Tomb Keeper Clan." Bonnie finished.
^What?^ I thought.
"What are you talking about?" snapped Ishizu, "Your boyfriend is the traitor!"
"Shadi, Odion, you two never told Marik and Ishitzu a certain fact, did you?" asked Bonnie.
"What didn't they tell me?" I asked.
"That-" started Bonnie but Ishizu kicked her in the ribs.
"ISHITZU!!!!!!" I roared.
"Let me finish, Ishizu." I heard Bonnie mutter.
"Fine! I don't want to lack knowledge." snapped Ishizu.
"Your brother," said Bonnie, "Is the reincarnation of an Ancient Egyptian prince. The son of Yami."
My jaw dropped, as did everyone else's, except for Shadi and Odion.
"What?" whispered Ishizu.
"And I-" started Bonnie.
"And she is the reincarnation of the daughter of the Pharaoh of Upper Egypt (Thebes, Aswan, etc. Lower Egypt being the northern area, Nile Delta, the Giza Plato.)." finished Shadi, "And how she knows all this I have no idea."
Ishizu quickly took her foot of Bonnie's breastbone.
^You are going to have to tell me more about this.^ I informed Bonnie as I hurried over to her and helped her up.
"Mokuba is still going to be tortured." said Ishizu as she disappeared.
We all heard a crash.
Then a roar.
And then a dozen feet pounding the staircase.
The door opened.
"WE are in serious trouble." I said.
~~~~Mel
"Lord Dwarntenankh requests a trade for the boy Mokuba." said a dark haired male.
"Of what sort?" asked Bonnie.
"Either yourself, or all the knowledge everyone here possesses of Ancient Egypt." replied the male.
"And if we refuse?" asked Marik.
The man looked at his watch.
"The boy, Mokuba is being whipped with Cats of Nine Tails at the moment and- " started the male.
Bonnie held up a hand, the color had drained from her face.
"Cats of N-nine Tails?" choked Bonnie.
"What are Cats of nine Tails?" asked Yuki.
Bonnie winced.
"Yes, what are they?" I asked.
Bonnie sighed.
"The Cats of Nine Tails is a whip, as you all probably gathered, and it is made predominately out of leather, it has a leather pommel and nine, thickly braided, "tails". At the ends of each tail it has many small, sharp blades, usually five or so all up and down the lower half of the nine tails." replied Bonnie.
"What?!" I yelped.
A tremor swept through the air and a very HOT guy appeared.
^Oh my GOD.^ I thought, ^Who is THAT?^
"Malik!" yelped the male.
"I thought Malik was Marik's yami." said another of the Demons, confused.
"Not anymore." said Marik, "He was being a pain, and so I banished him from my Millenium Rod."
~~~~Bonnie
Mel was rooted to the floor, gazing at the tall, blonde-spiky haired young man in front of me, as if she would crumble to dust if she moved.
"Now, Shadi, Odion, what do think is a good, bargain?" I asked.
"We won't say, we don't want to die." replied Odion, sarcastically.
"Bring Mokuba here, and then we will give you the documents." I told the male firmly.
"I shall see to it." said the male as he and the others disappeared.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
C-F: By the way, I will not elaborate what is happening to Moki, because if will feel so bad that I will want to jump into the river.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I flopped down onto a cushion that was on the floor and sighed.
"I'm going to go get a drink." declared Yugi, signaling everyone to leave Marik and myself alone.
I remained silent as everyone filed out of the room, leaving Marik and me.
"Are you sure those two should be left alone?" I heard Bakura ask and I threw a dagger at him. It hit the wall in front of his face.
Marik seemed to be thinking.
I tried to smother a yawn.
"Were you lying when you said that thing about me and you being Ancient Egyptian royalty?" asked Marik.
"No." I replied as leaned back against the wall.
"Did we know each other?" he asked.
"We were betrothed." I said, accidentally.
He gaped.
"Betrothed to seal a peace treaty between Upper and Lower Egypt." I added, "Though the Pharaoh of Upper Egypt wanted me to kill you and Yami, and I am NOT saying HOW he planned for me to get close enough."
"I think I get the idea." murmured Marik, "So, did you kill me and Yami?"
"Actually, no." I said, grinning slightly, "I fell in love with you and couldn't bring myself to kill you nor Yami."
He grinned as well.
"Sooooooo." drawled Marik.
^Oh great.^ I thought.
"How did you find all this out?" asked Marik.
^Phew.^
"I found two palaces in Egypt, one in Upper on in Lower." I replied, "The Pyramid Palace of Yami, and the Gate to the Underworld Palace of-"
"Of-??" prompted Marik.
I winced.
"Uh oh, why'd you wince?"
"Of Dwarntenankh." I finished.
His jaw dropped.
I remained silent and turned my back to him, I couldn't bare what the look of shock had changed to; it was a look of extreme hurt, I couldn't stand it! I didn't personally DO anything!
~~~~Yuki
"This is so odd." muttered Shadi.
"What?" I asked.
"What Bonnie and Marik are talking about." replied Odion.
Odion and Shadi were both eavesdropping on Bonnie and Marik's conversation.
A load crack signaled the return of the male Demon.
"Dwarntenankh has agreed to your terms." announced the male.
Jenny fished a HUGE book out of her backpack.
"This is a book written by Bonnie, it has EVERYTHING she knows about Ancient Egypt in it." said Jenny, handing the man the book.
"How many pages IS that?" I asked, gaping.
"2569." replied Jenny.
"But it's a COFFEE-TABLE book!" I gaped.
"She knows a lot." shrugged Erin.
Shadi and Odion gave the Demon several unidentifiable objects.
"Why isn't Lady Price here?" asked the Demon.
^LADY Price?^ I wondered.
"She is busy." replied Shadi.
The Demon bowed and left, Mokuba appeared and collapsed.
"Moki!" cried Seto.
Seto and me ran over to Mokuba.
~~~~Marik
^She. Was. Dwarntenankh's. DAUGHTER.^ I thought several times.
I noticed Bonnie had her back to me and that there were a few wet drops on the ground near her.
^She's CRYING?^ I thought, bewildered.
"Bonnie?" I asked.
She flinched.
THAT shocked me, what was wrong with her?!
"What's the matter?" I asked.
She flinched again and I heard a slight sob.
^Okay, that's it, what is making her cry?^ I demanded to my brain.
I decided to read her mind and find out.
As I entered her mind I immediately saw the problem; I'd had a severely hurt expression, but why would that make HER upset? It doesn't make any sense.
"Bonnie." I said.
Silence, though she flinched, again.
^This is worrisome.^ I thought.
I scooched myself over to her and put my arms around her shoulders.
I could tell she was surprised.
~~~~Bonnie
"What's the matter?" Marik whispered into my ear.
I had been expecting a blow or something like that, with the look on his face, but I should have known better, he's more of a gentleman than that.
"You know." I said, voice quavering a bit.
"Only one thing, more has to be bothering you, unless..." said Marik, "Unless you were expecting me to hurt you somehow for being the daughter of a Pharaoh, that I hate, several thousand years ago."
I flinched, not on purpose either.
"Is that what you think of me?" he demanded.
"No." I said, "Half of me expects EVERYONE to try and hurt me, the other half wants to push everyone away." I felt Marik rest his head on my shoulder, "And/or beat the living daylights out of them." I muttered under my breath.
"You're as bad as me." he sighed.
"What?" I asked.
"When I told you about me, and what I had done to Shadi and Ishitzu, I thought you were going to knock me into next year." he replied, "But you didn't."
I remained silent.
"BONNIE! MARIK, MOKUBA IS BACK!!!!" yelled Odion from the top of the stairs.
"WE'LL BE THERE IN A MINUTE!!" called Marik.
I started to get up but Marik pulled me back down.
"What now?" I asked.
He just stared me in the eyes.
"Yoo-hoo?" I said, waving a hand in front of his face.
He took the hand in his then he kissed me.
~~~~Jenny
"So, what do ya think is goin' on down there?" asked Joey.
"Kissing." said Shadi.
"And that would be, why?" I asked.
"BONNIE GET YOUR BUTT UP HERE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!" roared Yuki, "MOKUBA NEEDS BOTH YOU AND PYRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I heard a yelp downstairs and then a growl as Bonnie opened the door.
"Bonnie, get me some aloe, would you?" asked Pyra.
"Aloe?" asked Bonnie, "Is he burned??"
"It would seem that they lit the whip on fire." said Pyra, darkly.
Bonnie muttered something.
I peeked downstairs and saw that Marik was lying on his side and that he had his shirt off.
I nudged Rose and Bakura.
Bakura covered his mouth to muffle his laughter.
"WHAT THE-!?" yelped Bonnie.
I turned around in time to see all of Mokuba's wounds heal, and a humongous snake twine itself around Bonnie's feet.
Marik can running up the stairs with his shirt on but open.
"What's the-" started Marik.
Bonnie pointed at the snake.
"You are sssssssurprisssssssssssssed???" hissed the snake.
"Because you're so long and you talk." replied Bonnie.
"What are you doing?" Marik demanded of the snake.
"I am bound by Ancient law to guard this girl." replied the snake drawing itself up to Marik's eye level (six feet) and beyond.
Overall, the snake must have been thirty-six feet long, very odd for an egyptain cobra, more confusingly, he was acid green with purple eyes.
"Let me guess, you were her protector in the past, given to her by Dwarntenankh." said Marik.
"By DWARNTENANKH?!" I asked.
"I'll explain." said Shadi as he and Odion pulled the others and myself over and explained.
"My name is Sobek." said the snake, "And would you please explain WHAT you were doing with her ladyship with your shirt off?"
Marik turned scarlet.
"You're from Ancient Egypt." said Bonnie slyly, "You should be used to male having their shirts off. And anyways, it is summer, and a hot summer at that."
"Well, most females used to run around naked in Ancient Egypt and you don't see any females here naked." retorted Sobek, glaring at Bonnie.
"In some part of Africa they do!" snapped Bonnie.
"Easy." said Marik grabbing Bonnie by the shoulders before she gave Sobek a fist sandwich.
"On the other hand he does seem to care about you a lot." remarked Sobek, "Who is he?"
"HE." said Bonnie, "Is the son of Pharaoh Yami. His name is Marik Ishtar."
Sobek yelped and hid.
"What's with him?" I asked.
"I guess he had a bad experience with me." said Marik.
"I served both you and her ladyship!" wailed Sobek, "I could be killed for treason!!"
"Believe me, no one will kill you, I have a soft spot for snakes." said Bonnie.
"You LIKE snakes?!" gawped Zarah.
"I think they're absolutely adorable." replied Bonnie.
"ADORABLE?" asked Joey.
"Don't ask, she LOVES reptilians." I sighed.
"Weird." muttered Joey.
~~~~Bonnie
^Okay, my life has gotten three-times weirder. One, I have a thirty-six foot-long TALKING EGYPTIAN COBRA twined around my legs. Two, Mokuba's wounds healed without me nor Pyra doing anything to them, and THREE, Marik is getting a bad habit of somehow getting his shirt off when we kiss. Or is that my fault?^ I thought.
There was another loud CRACK and the Demon I had met that had bright green hair and red eyes appeared.
"Ah, my dear niece." said the man.
I scowled at him.
"Aw, is that any way to treat your Uncle Sethmekh?" he asked.
"I will treat you any way I please, Baka." I snapped.
"Every bit like my dear brother." sighed Sethmekh.
"Well, your 'dear brother' can go for a swim in a pool of lava." I informed him.
"In Ancient Egypt you would be killed for that." remarked Sethmekh.
"GOOD!" I yelled, "THEN I WOULDEN'T HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO KILL!"
Marik gave me a look.
"Seems like you've picked up some insanity genes somewhere." muttered Sethmekh.
I was about to run Sethmekh through but Marik held me back.
"What are you doing here?" asked Marik.
"My brother isn't very pleased; he had expected to be given my niece instead of those documents." replied Sethmekh.
I snorted.
"What doessssssssssss he want her for?" asked Sobek as he slithered over to Sethmekh.
"GAH! It's that damned snake!" yelped Sethmekh.
I couldn't help but snicker.
"If he wantsssssssss her." said Sobek, "He'll have to try a lot harder that thisssss."
"I shall tell my brother that." said Sethmekh.
"You do that." I said.
There was a loud CRACK and Sethmekh disappeared.
"I swear." I muttered as I sat down on a chair.
Silence.
"Where'd that hunk go?" asked Mel.
I looked up.
"Who?" I asked.
"Malik." replied Mel.
I grinned.
"I dunno, maybe..." I said.
"Maybe what?" asked Mel.
"Maybe right behind you!" I said, with a grin.
She whirled around to come face-to-face with Malik.
Marik dragged me back to the basement.
~~~~Sethmekh
"Well?" demanded my elder brother.
"They say that if you want Bonnie, you are going to have to try a lot harder to get her." I replied, wearily.
The man who had come back without Bonnie and with the documents had been burned alive and was now a pile of ash in front of Dwarntenankh's throne.
"Hmm." muttered my brother.
I remained silent, allowing my brother to think.
"Here's what we will do." said Dwarntenankh.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
C-F: He he he he he he he he heeeeeeee...

Freai: Or do much.
C-F: *wince* But, wow, I have somethin' like SIXTY reviews! My other fic doesn't have that many... Also, if you are noticing I'm not very consistent with who's head you are seeing things from, it's because I can't fit into to everyone's head, because I have to be in a certain mood for the character, know the creator well (as I do mamono, junana107, Professor Rose Thorn and Jenny Hall), or just be terribly like the character (such as Marik).
Seto: Let's just get on with the fic!
C-F: Yes ma'am.
Seto: *twitch*
Marik: R&R! And mamono, you are going to kill C-F.
C-F: P.s. I have a fic to suggest, seven, actually: Red Eyes; Freai Woxzema; Freai In the Sands of Egypt; mamono Experiment Chibi; mamono Vampire Game; angelus_2040 YuGiOh: The Virtual War; junana107 Do or Fry! A Truth or Dare Fic; junana107 (co-written by yours truly)
Also, I'm sorry it took me so long to get this out, here are the reasons: 1) I can only work at night. (I can't think well during the day). 2) I have been super tired all week. 3) The one night I did manage to stay up I was finishing a Vampire Marik drawing.

"I can take you to Dwarntenankh." said Ishizu.
"We'll find him ourselves, thanks." I said.
"Fine. Mokuba's life." said Ishizu with a shrug.
Bonnie growled and slammed the hilt of her sword against Ishizu's temple.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" yelled Odion as he and Shadi appeared.
"She." said Bonnie, "Took Mokuba hostage and took him to Dwarntenankh."
Shadi and Odion gaped.

^Bonnie, you didn't need to slash her that deep.^ remarked Marik.

"Are we missing something?" asked Erin.
"We-" started Marik.
"-can tell-" I added.
"-what the other-" said Marik.
"-is going to say." I finished.
"Ahhh, so you are a vampire, I thought that the Demon was lying." remarked Jenny.
I gave her a look that said "You ARE stupid after all".
"So, Shadi, Odion, what were you doing in Kemet?" I asked.
"Kemet?" asked Zarah.
"Black earth, or Egypt in Ancient Egyptian." Marik replied.
"Who said we were in Egypt?" asked Odion.
"I did." I replied, "I saw Shadi writing the spell to transport y'all there."
"Shoot." muttered Shadi.
"Bang." I said sarcastically.
Shadi gave me a look.
"We were refreshing our knowledge of Ancient Egypt." replied Odion.
"Ahhhh." I said.
I noticed that since I had been holding a vial of Ishitzu's blood almost everyone had been giving me an odd look.
"Pyra, a beaker, if you will?" I asked as I shook the vial.
^You know why everyone is giving you an odd look, don't you?^ asked Marik.
^Of course.^ I replied, ^They are wondering if I am going to DRINK Ishitzu's blood. Blech. I'd rather just kill the wench.^
"Here." said Pyra as she handed me a beaker.
I poured the blood into it and rummaged around in a bag to get out some chemicals.
"What are you wrinkling your nose for?" asked Jenny.
"Blood smells just about as horrible as it tastes." I said, darkly, "I feel sorry for Wolverine now."
Jenny rolled her eyes.
I swirled the blood and chemicals around and around in the beaker, then gaped as the mixture began to froth.
"What?" asked Artemis.
The beaker exploded, gouging my hands and arms in the process.
"Are you alright?" asked Marik worriedly as he came over and gently took hold of an arm.
"What caused THAT?" asked an unfamiliar voice.
"Oh, hey, Mel, there you are." said André.
I winced as I pulled a chunk of glass out of my arm.
"At least it wasn't needles." I muttered.
"Speaking of which-" started André.
I went cold.
"We need some blood samples." he finished.
I hid behind Marik with a yelp.
"I told you." said Jenny.
"Eh hem!" said the voice.
"Oh, sorry, Mel." sighed Yuki, "Bonnie, this is Meloney Hawthorn, Mel this is Bonnie Price."
I said "hi" but continued to cower behind Marik.
André picked up the pieces of glass I'd pulled out.
"Who needs a needle when you have these?" asked André as he slipped the pieces of glass into a bag.
I stood up as I heard a groan.
"I swear." I muttered.
"What?" asked Mel.
I waltzed over to the now awake Ishitzu.
"Owwwwwwwwwww..." moaned Ishi(t)zu.
"Put a sock in it." I snapped and kicked her across the temple.
"THAT was not very nice." said Von Stupor.
"I'm not always nice to those who are mean to me." I replied.
"Uh, Bonnie?" said Jenny, disturbed.
"Wha?" I asked.
She pointed at my arm.
I watched in utter amazement as the gashes healed themselves.
"THAT was neat." said Rose.
I heard a loud crash and drew my sword, again.
~~~~Marik
^What is it?^ I asked Bonnie as she drew her sword.
"I heard something." she replied out-loud.
"What was it?" asked André, but the ground throwing us all up in the air answered him.
I landed un my back, getting the wind knocked out of me.
"That." rasped Bonnie, who, so it seemed, had landed half on her side and half on her stomach.
"Ohhhh, that hurt." groaned Mel.
I heard a footstep.
"Well, well, well." said Ishizu, "You all having a little lie-down?"
I heard Bonnie start to get up.
"OOOFFF!" grunted Bonnie as Ishizu's foot connected with her stomach.
"STOP IT ISHIZU!!!" I snapped, the only reply to that was for me to get thrown into a wall by the ground.
"You..." panted Bonnie, her voice full of pain.
I looked over to see that Ishizu was grinding her foot into Bonnie's rib cage.
"Are...a traitor...to the Tomb Keeper Clan." Bonnie finished.
^What?^ I thought.
"What are you talking about?" snapped Ishizu, "Your boyfriend is the traitor!"
"Shadi, Odion, you two never told Marik and Ishitzu a certain fact, did you?" asked Bonnie.
"What didn't they tell me?" I asked.
"That-" started Bonnie but Ishizu kicked her in the ribs.
"ISHITZU!!!!!!" I roared.
"Let me finish, Ishizu." I heard Bonnie mutter.
"Fine! I don't want to lack knowledge." snapped Ishizu.
"Your brother," said Bonnie, "Is the reincarnation of an Ancient Egyptian prince. The son of Yami."
My jaw dropped, as did everyone else's, except for Shadi and Odion.
"What?" whispered Ishizu.
"And I-" started Bonnie.
"And she is the reincarnation of the daughter of the Pharaoh of Upper Egypt (Thebes, Aswan, etc. Lower Egypt being the northern area, Nile Delta, the Giza Plato.)." finished Shadi, "And how she knows all this I have no idea."
Ishizu quickly took her foot of Bonnie's breastbone.
^You are going to have to tell me more about this.^ I informed Bonnie as I hurried over to her and helped her up.
"Mokuba is still going to be tortured." said Ishizu as she disappeared.
We all heard a crash.
Then a roar.
And then a dozen feet pounding the staircase.
The door opened.
"WE are in serious trouble." I said.
~~~~Mel
"Lord Dwarntenankh requests a trade for the boy Mokuba." said a dark haired male.
"Of what sort?" asked Bonnie.
"Either yourself, or all the knowledge everyone here possesses of Ancient Egypt." replied the male.
"And if we refuse?" asked Marik.
The man looked at his watch.
"The boy, Mokuba is being whipped with Cats of Nine Tails at the moment and- " started the male.
Bonnie held up a hand, the color had drained from her face.
"Cats of N-nine Tails?" choked Bonnie.
"What are Cats of nine Tails?" asked Yuki.
Bonnie winced.
"Yes, what are they?" I asked.
Bonnie sighed.
"The Cats of Nine Tails is a whip, as you all probably gathered, and it is made predominately out of leather, it has a leather pommel and nine, thickly braided, "tails". At the ends of each tail it has many small, sharp blades, usually five or so all up and down the lower half of the nine tails." replied Bonnie.
"What?!" I yelped.
A tremor swept through the air and a very HOT guy appeared.
^Oh my GOD.^ I thought, ^Who is THAT?^
"Malik!" yelped the male.
"I thought Malik was Marik's yami." said another of the Demons, confused.
"Not anymore." said Marik, "He was being a pain, and so I banished him from my Millenium Rod."
~~~~Bonnie
Mel was rooted to the floor, gazing at the tall, blonde-spiky haired young man in front of me, as if she would crumble to dust if she moved.
"Now, Shadi, Odion, what do think is a good, bargain?" I asked.
"We won't say, we don't want to die." replied Odion, sarcastically.
"Bring Mokuba here, and then we will give you the documents." I told the male firmly.
"I shall see to it." said the male as he and the others disappeared.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
C-F: By the way, I will not elaborate what is happening to Moki, because if will feel so bad that I will want to jump into the river.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I flopped down onto a cushion that was on the floor and sighed.
"I'm going to go get a drink." declared Yugi, signaling everyone to leave Marik and myself alone.
I remained silent as everyone filed out of the room, leaving Marik and me.
"Are you sure those two should be left alone?" I heard Bakura ask and I threw a dagger at him. It hit the wall in front of his face.
Marik seemed to be thinking.
I tried to smother a yawn.
"Were you lying when you said that thing about me and you being Ancient Egyptian royalty?" asked Marik.
"No." I replied as leaned back against the wall.
"Did we know each other?" he asked.
"We were betrothed." I said, accidentally.
He gaped.
"Betrothed to seal a peace treaty between Upper and Lower Egypt." I added, "Though the Pharaoh of Upper Egypt wanted me to kill you and Yami, and I am NOT saying HOW he planned for me to get close enough."
"I think I get the idea." murmured Marik, "So, did you kill me and Yami?"
"Actually, no." I said, grinning slightly, "I fell in love with you and couldn't bring myself to kill you nor Yami."
He grinned as well.
"Sooooooo." drawled Marik.
^Oh great.^ I thought.
"How did you find all this out?" asked Marik.
^Phew.^
"I found two palaces in Egypt, one in Upper on in Lower." I replied, "The Pyramid Palace of Yami, and the Gate to the Underworld Palace of-"
"Of-??" prompted Marik.
I winced.
"Uh oh, why'd you wince?"
"Of Dwarntenankh." I finished.
His jaw dropped.
I remained silent and turned my back to him, I couldn't bare what the look of shock had changed to; it was a look of extreme hurt, I couldn't stand it! I didn't personally DO anything!
~~~~Yuki
"This is so odd." muttered Shadi.
"What?" I asked.
"What Bonnie and Marik are talking about." replied Odion.
Odion and Shadi were both eavesdropping on Bonnie and Marik's conversation.
A load crack signaled the return of the male Demon.
"Dwarntenankh has agreed to your terms." announced the male.
Jenny fished a HUGE book out of her backpack.
"This is a book written by Bonnie, it has EVERYTHING she knows about Ancient Egypt in it." said Jenny, handing the man the book.
"How many pages IS that?" I asked, gaping.
"2569." replied Jenny.
"But it's a COFFEE-TABLE book!" I gaped.
"She knows a lot." shrugged Erin.
Shadi and Odion gave the Demon several unidentifiable objects.
"Why isn't Lady Price here?" asked the Demon.
^LADY Price?^ I wondered.
"She is busy." replied Shadi.
The Demon bowed and left, Mokuba appeared and collapsed.
"Moki!" cried Seto.
Seto and me ran over to Mokuba.
~~~~Marik
^She. Was. Dwarntenankh's. DAUGHTER.^ I thought several times.
I noticed Bonnie had her back to me and that there were a few wet drops on the ground near her.
^She's CRYING?^ I thought, bewildered.
"Bonnie?" I asked.
She flinched.
THAT shocked me, what was wrong with her?!
"What's the matter?" I asked.
She flinched again and I heard a slight sob.
^Okay, that's it, what is making her cry?^ I demanded to my brain.
I decided to read her mind and find out.
As I entered her mind I immediately saw the problem; I'd had a severely hurt expression, but why would that make HER upset? It doesn't make any sense.
"Bonnie." I said.
Silence, though she flinched, again.
^This is worrisome.^ I thought.
I scooched myself over to her and put my arms around her shoulders.
I could tell she was surprised.
~~~~Bonnie
"What's the matter?" Marik whispered into my ear.
I had been expecting a blow or something like that, with the look on his face, but I should have known better, he's more of a gentleman than that.
"You know." I said, voice quavering a bit.
"Only one thing, more has to be bothering you, unless..." said Marik, "Unless you were expecting me to hurt you somehow for being the daughter of a Pharaoh, that I hate, several thousand years ago."
I flinched, not on purpose either.
"Is that what you think of me?" he demanded.
"No." I said, "Half of me expects EVERYONE to try and hurt me, the other half wants to push everyone away." I felt Marik rest his head on my shoulder, "And/or beat the living daylights out of them." I muttered under my breath.
"You're as bad as me." he sighed.
"What?" I asked.
"When I told you about me, and what I had done to Shadi and Ishitzu, I thought you were going to knock me into next year." he replied, "But you didn't."
I remained silent.
"BONNIE! MARIK, MOKUBA IS BACK!!!!" yelled Odion from the top of the stairs.
"WE'LL BE THERE IN A MINUTE!!" called Marik.
I started to get up but Marik pulled me back down.
"What now?" I asked.
He just stared me in the eyes.
"Yoo-hoo?" I said, waving a hand in front of his face.
He took the hand in his then he kissed me.
~~~~Jenny
"So, what do ya think is goin' on down there?" asked Joey.
"Kissing." said Shadi.
"And that would be, why?" I asked.
"BONNIE GET YOUR BUTT UP HERE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!" roared Yuki, "MOKUBA NEEDS BOTH YOU AND PYRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I heard a yelp downstairs and then a growl as Bonnie opened the door.
"Bonnie, get me some aloe, would you?" asked Pyra.
"Aloe?" asked Bonnie, "Is he burned??"
"It would seem that they lit the whip on fire." said Pyra, darkly.
Bonnie muttered something.
I peeked downstairs and saw that Marik was lying on his side and that he had his shirt off.
I nudged Rose and Bakura.
Bakura covered his mouth to muffle his laughter.
"WHAT THE-!?" yelped Bonnie.
I turned around in time to see all of Mokuba's wounds heal, and a humongous snake twine itself around Bonnie's feet.
Marik can running up the stairs with his shirt on but open.
"What's the-" started Marik.
Bonnie pointed at the snake.
"You are sssssssurprisssssssssssssed???" hissed the snake.
"Because you're so long and you talk." replied Bonnie.
"What are you doing?" Marik demanded of the snake.
"I am bound by Ancient law to guard this girl." replied the snake drawing itself up to Marik's eye level (six feet) and beyond.
Overall, the snake must have been thirty-six feet long, very odd for an egyptain cobra, more confusingly, he was acid green with purple eyes.
"Let me guess, you were her protector in the past, given to her by Dwarntenankh." said Marik.
"By DWARNTENANKH?!" I asked.
"I'll explain." said Shadi as he and Odion pulled the others and myself over and explained.
"My name is Sobek." said the snake, "And would you please explain WHAT you were doing with her ladyship with your shirt off?"
Marik turned scarlet.
"You're from Ancient Egypt." said Bonnie slyly, "You should be used to male having their shirts off. And anyways, it is summer, and a hot summer at that."
"Well, most females used to run around naked in Ancient Egypt and you don't see any females here naked." retorted Sobek, glaring at Bonnie.
"In some part of Africa they do!" snapped Bonnie.
"Easy." said Marik grabbing Bonnie by the shoulders before she gave Sobek a fist sandwich.
"On the other hand he does seem to care about you a lot." remarked Sobek, "Who is he?"
"HE." said Bonnie, "Is the son of Pharaoh Yami. His name is Marik Ishtar."
Sobek yelped and hid.
"What's with him?" I asked.
"I guess he had a bad experience with me." said Marik.
"I served both you and her ladyship!" wailed Sobek, "I could be killed for treason!!"
"Believe me, no one will kill you, I have a soft spot for snakes." said Bonnie.
"You LIKE snakes?!" gawped Zarah.
"I think they're absolutely adorable." replied Bonnie.
"ADORABLE?" asked Joey.
"Don't ask, she LOVES reptilians." I sighed.
"Weird." muttered Joey.
~~~~Bonnie
^Okay, my life has gotten three-times weirder. One, I have a thirty-six foot-long TALKING EGYPTIAN COBRA twined around my legs. Two, Mokuba's wounds healed without me nor Pyra doing anything to them, and THREE, Marik is getting a bad habit of somehow getting his shirt off when we kiss. Or is that my fault?^ I thought.
There was another loud CRACK and the Demon I had met that had bright green hair and red eyes appeared.
"Ah, my dear niece." said the man.
I scowled at him.
"Aw, is that any way to treat your Uncle Sethmekh?" he asked.
"I will treat you any way I please, Baka." I snapped.
"Every bit like my dear brother." sighed Sethmekh.
"Well, your 'dear brother' can go for a swim in a pool of lava." I informed him.
"In Ancient Egypt you would be killed for that." remarked Sethmekh.
"GOOD!" I yelled, "THEN I WOULDEN'T HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO KILL!"
Marik gave me a look.
"Seems like you've picked up some insanity genes somewhere." muttered Sethmekh.
I was about to run Sethmekh through but Marik held me back.
"What are you doing here?" asked Marik.
"My brother isn't very pleased; he had expected to be given my niece instead of those documents." replied Sethmekh.
I snorted.
"What doessssssssssss he want her for?" asked Sobek as he slithered over to Sethmekh.
"GAH! It's that damned snake!" yelped Sethmekh.
I couldn't help but snicker.
"If he wantsssssssss her." said Sobek, "He'll have to try a lot harder that thisssss."
"I shall tell my brother that." said Sethmekh.
"You do that." I said.
There was a loud CRACK and Sethmekh disappeared.
"I swear." I muttered as I sat down on a chair.
Silence.
"Where'd that hunk go?" asked Mel.
I looked up.
"Who?" I asked.
"Malik." replied Mel.
I grinned.
"I dunno, maybe..." I said.
"Maybe what?" asked Mel.
"Maybe right behind you!" I said, with a grin.
She whirled around to come face-to-face with Malik.
Marik dragged me back to the basement.
~~~~Sethmekh
"Well?" demanded my elder brother.
"They say that if you want Bonnie, you are going to have to try a lot harder to get her." I replied, wearily.
The man who had come back without Bonnie and with the documents had been burned alive and was now a pile of ash in front of Dwarntenankh's throne.
"Hmm." muttered my brother.
I remained silent, allowing my brother to think.
"Here's what we will do." said Dwarntenankh.
