Part 8: Malik, Marik, Odion and Isis
By Shadow's Mirror
.
"Sister Isis, we're all out of whipped cream." Marik pouted as he peered around the door to Isis's small study. Isis was sitting at her desk doing some paperwork for the museum.
"I'll buy some more tomorrow." Isis answered distractedly, frowning as her figures didn't add up.
"Isis, Marik got whipped cream all over my bedspread." Malik popped his head through the doorway a minute later.
"I'll get it dry-cleaned for you tomorrow." Isis was still frowning, as her figures still didn't add up.
"Sister Isis, we're out of chocolate sauce too." Marik was still pouting as he leaned against the doorway another minute later.
"No we're not, there's three bottles in the pantry." Isis rechecked her figures for the eighth time. They still didn't add up. She sighed and started going through her papers to find what she'd missed. A series of bangs and crashes started echoing through the apartment a moment later.
"Isis, Marik's making a mess in the kitchen!" Malik sing-songed from the doorway minutes later.
"Tell him to stop it." Isis frowned at a piece of paper. "Who ordered a dozen boxes of cheese?" she muttered to herself as Malik skipped happily off towards the kitchen.
"Sister Isis, I can't find the chocolate sauce!" Marik appeared in the doorway a moment later, still pouting, but now with an annoyed look on his face.
"It's in the pantry, on the top shelf behind the box of healthy cereal." Isis looked at the signature on the invoice in her hand and blinked. "Oh… I ordered the cheese. Why did I order the cheese?"
"What a silly place to keep chocolate sauce. No wonder I couldn't find it." Marik shook his head as he hurried back to the kitchen.
"That's precisely why I keep it there." Isis peered more closely at the invoice. "Ah! It's a painting of a dozen boxes of cheese! Hmm… I don't remember seeing that one come in…"
"Isis, Marik's trying to climb up the pantry shelves again." Malik skipped into the room, grinning at the thought of his yami getting into trouble while he wouldn't… for once.
"Ask Odion to get the chocolate sauce down for him." Malik pouted as Marik didn't get into trouble after all. He headed off to find Odion as Isis studied her invoice. "Ah, it's due in next week!"
"Excuse me, Isis…" Odion stepped into the study, looking considerably more flustered than usual.
"No Odion, I am not getting you a copy of the yaoi edition of 'Fluffy Bunnies'." Isis moved the price of the cheese painting into the Acquisitions section of her accounts rather than her Snacks section and smiled happily when her figures finally added up.
Odion winced, a faint tide of colour washing over his face as he made a mental note to never again look at another magazine while out shopping with Isis. "Actually…" He was interrupted.
"Don't worry, Odion." Malik popped his head around the left side of the door and grinned.
"Yeah, you can borrow our copy!" Marik poked his head around the right side of the door and gave his 'big brother Odion' his brightest, happiest smile. Odion blinked.
"Actually Isis… I thought you might like to know that Malik and Marik are running around covered in whipped cream and chocolate sauce." Odion finally managed to speak without being interrupted.
Isis blinked as that caught her attention. She slowly swung her chair around, getting her first look at the two boys standing in the doorway behind Odion. They smiled at her cheerfully.
"Look Sister Isis! Odion found the chocolate sauce!" Marik held up the bottle in his hand, beaming.
"Oh Ra…"
