L: We are so sorry it has taken so long to post but we've been grounded.
YL: Hey I wasn't the one making long distance phone calls you were.
L: *Glares* You didn't complain when we were on the phone.
YL: Not like you'd listen.
L: Don't start, just read the disclaimer.
YL: Fine. Baka don't own nothing.
L: *in a sarcastic tone* That was lovely Yami.
YL: I thought so.
L:*Glares* Ok time for chapter ten: Confrontation on the Corner
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Nakia had sat there on the bed, letting her dream soak in. Nakia had always believed in the power of dreams, and this one puzzled her. It could have so many meanings. In the dream Malik had feelings for her but he had killed her.
'What do I do now? I know I can't tell Yami, he's not even ready to know who he is, I can't burden him with my problems. I'm just going to have to stay away from Malik. But not until I confront him.'
Nakia got up and got dressed, it didn't matter to her that it was two o'clock in the morning, she was going to confront him now while she had the nerve to do it.
Nakia walked out of the hotel minutes later dressed in jeans, a lavender t-shirt, a black hoodie, and tennis shoes. Her hair was up in a messy bun, curls were escaping the hair band's hold and were falling around her face.
She walked determinedly at a brisk pace. As she rounded a corner she ran held long into someone. She was flung to the ground, as she sat up she began to apologize.
"Oh gods I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going."
"No it's my fault." He said while rising and dusting himself off.
"Malik?!" Nakia squeaked as she finally caught sight of him. Malik stood over her as she sat there in shock and looked up at him.
"Nakia! I was just on my way to see you."
"So you could finish what your Yami started?!" She said, her voice cold and her eyes glaring daggers at him.
"Nakia, about my Yami I didn't-."
"Save it for someone you haven't tried to kill. Oh wait you try to kill everybody!!" Guilt could be plainly seen on Malik's face. Nakia stood and crossed her arms.
"Nakia..."
You could hear the hurt and anger in Nakia's voice as she said, "Tell me the truth Malik. Did you really plan to do what he said?" Nakia's voice cracked but she kept going. "Do you hate my brother that much? Do you care for me so little? Was it all an act?"
Malik looked down at his feet. His heart was breaking at the sound of the pain in her voice.
"Nakia, when I first captured you that was the plan. My plan. But then I got to know you, and I knew I couldn't go through with it."
Nakia's arms dropped to her sides, "But your Yami-."
"Marik is crazy. All he wants is power and he'll do anything to get it." Nakia broke into sobs.
"But malik it wasn't just him. I had this dream, and in it you killed me."
"A dream?"
"Malik you know the power of dreams!"
"But death in a dream can mean so many things."
"You and Marik killed me together!"
"I would never kill you Nakia." He reached out to put his arms around her. She flinched and took a step back. Malik stopped with his arms still extended. With a hurt look he slowly put them down. Tears slipped down Nakia's face.
"Nakia, I could never hurt you. I love you." Nakia stood there and looked up at him in shock. He took a step closer, and when she didn't back away he put a hand up to brush away her tears.
"Say it again." She whispered. Malik smiled.
"I love you." A soft smile spread across her lips.
"You had better not be lying." She said looking into his eyes.
"I'm not." He said with a grin. And before she could say anything in response he leaned down and kissed her.
After Nakia had left Yami and Yugi they had gone for a walk to a park. The had strolled around happily for an hour or two, hand in hand. Then they had sat on a bench and watched the sun go down.
Yami woke up hours later. He and Yugi were still on the bench, Yugi was asleep in his arms. He looked at his watch. It was two o'clock in the morning.
"Yugi, come on, we should get going." He said softly. Yugi opened his eyes sleepily.
"Hmmmm?"
"We need to get home."
"Ok." Yugi said with a yawn. Yami smiled, Yugi looked so cute when he was sleepy.
The pair got up and walked hand in hand back towards the game shop. The streets were quiet and Yami's mind was wandering as they walked so he didn't see the couple across the street, but Yugi did.
"Yami, look at that couple." Yugi said while stopping and tugging on Yami's hand. Yami looked over at the couple in the distance. Their arms wrapped around one another, locked in a passionate kiss. Yami squinted to see the couple, they were in shadow and detail was hard to see.
"Lets go take a peek and see if we know them." Yugi whispered with a grin.
"Yugi, we shouldn't."
"Come on Yami. Please?" Yugi gave him the puppy eyes, no one can resist the power of Yugi's puppy eyes.
"Alright, but if we get caught I'm blaming it on you." Yugi grinned and led Yami sneakily across the street. The couple still in their embrace, didn't notice them.
"How are we going to get close enough to see?" Yami whispered.
"If they were only under a street lamp."
"Again, how are we going to see them?"
"Ok, we go back on the other side of the street, then we walk down to the cross walk and cross, then we peek around the corner."
"Alright."
~A few minutes later, behind the corner~
Yugi and Yami peered around the corner and got a glimpse of the couple. Yami's stomach did a flip. His little sister was in the arms of that maniac, Malik. There she was in his arms, her eyes closed, and their lips locked in a passionate kiss.
"Oh Yami." Yugi whispered, "Don't do anything rash." Yami's hands were already balled into fists. Anger came off him in waves. He moved to take a step forward, but Yugs stopped him.
"Let them be."
"I told her to stay way from him."
"Do you always do what you are told?"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
L: Oooo cliffhanger!! What's Yami gonna do?
YL: You get to choose. Does he beat the shit out of Malik or does he go home with Yugi and talk to Nakia later?
L: Please review!
