Author's notes: Right here is the newest chapter...got to clear up that thing with Isis before it gets interesting again.

You know the drill don't own anyone but Kira and the girls.

Chapter 9: Going Under

Isis stared up at Kaiba in horror. How could this be? Did Kaiba really not care? She frowned up at him and hoped he would notice. He didn't even look down at her. It was that bitch Kira, her laughter was ringing down the hallways. She was going to kill that dozy cow if Kaiba said what she thought he was about to. Even as she stared she could see that he was about to say something...

Kaiba knew he had to say it to her, if not now then later. He didn't even understand why he had stalled for three months. Kira had felt so right to him when she was at his house, even when they were at school and he was trying not to like her. The conflict had practically torn him to pieces. It dawned on him then that the only reason he had even hurt himself was because he hadn't told her how he felt. Now he had a funny feeling she was with someone else and that he had waited to long. No matter if I tell her how I feel then she can make her mind up, and at least then she knows. But he still wanted her, even if it meant taking the other person out of the picture. Now all he had to do was cut his last ties to anyone else...and that meant Isis. He didn't even look down at her; he didn't care if he hurt her he just didn't want to see it. He knew if he did he would regret it later, like in his dreams or worse...nightmares. He had been having a lot of them recently. But now was not the time to sort that out, now was the time for this. Carefully he formed a plan in his head. "Isis, I just don't think this is going to work." He tried to resist the urge to look down at her and see her heart breaking, and then he would lose faith in himself. "It's just not working for either of us." He felt her lithe arms let go of him and he sighed, daring himself to glance at her. Isis was looking out the window with a sad sort of smile on her face.

"I thought this would happen..." was all she said.

Kira held the tray and walked through to the living room with Marik and Yami. They laughed at Joey's expense, bless the poor boys soul. It appeared that she had yet another secret admire, though with Joey it was good for them both to stay friends. She couldn't help laugh about the situation though. Joey often acted really hard but he wasn't, he just wanted others to like him for who he was. Still she would always keep that in mind.

As she entered she looked around the room. Her long corner curving cream sofa had Isis sitting on it in a strange trance like state. Seto stood at her window admiring the soft silky curtains with an odd smile on his face. She knew something had happened and that it probably wasn't good. "I think Seto has other ideas about what happened." Marik whispered into her ear so as not to be heard. It was as if they hadn't noticed the three of them come in until she set the tray down with a slight clip on the glass coffee table.

"Come on you two, come and have a drink." She motioned towards the glasses of tea and juice on the table. Kaiba was the first to take his but he would not sit, this annoyed Kira a little. She knelt down by the T.V to watch the others. Marik sat near his sister and tried to wake her up, Yami sat in the other chair that was in the room and Kaiba just stood. "Has something happened, you look like you've been to a funeral." She smiled over at Isis. She had never really got on with Marik's older sister and she knew that Isis hated her. Why she had never been told but she was sure there was a petty reason behind it all.

"Nothing is wrong," Seto smiled over at her, "I just need to go to work now that's all. I wanted to say good bye." Kira nodded and got up to show him out. He raised his hand and stopped her "I can find my own way out...I'll see you tomorrow." She nodded and he left the room, narrowing his eyes as he passed Isis and Marik.

"Wow, what's wrong with him?" Yami asked raising an eyebrow in her direction, "He was nice for once."

"No he wasn't..." Isis finally spoke up through gritted teeth, "He left me...because of you." Kira couldn't see the woman's eyes but she could tell they were misting up with tears. "Why couldn't you keep to yourself girl?" she winced at the word Girl, "You couldn't just back off and leave well alone could you?" Isis stood sending drinks flying and almost breaking the glass, "Why is it you don't know when to keep out off things?"

"Isis sits down and calm down, have you noticed that Kira has done everything she has to make us feel welcome. How are you acting?"

"I'm acting the way we should have been since the day she was sent to us in Egypt!" Kira covered her mouth in shock, "She has been nothing but a burden to us this whole time."

"Get out..." everyone turned to stare at Kira.

"You can't tell me what to do." Isis snapped.

"Get out...all of you, just go."

"I wasn't planning on staying anyway." Isis stormed out of the house and the door slammed.

"Kira..."Yami tried to say something.

"Please...go." He left and she thought everyone was gone, "Why," she whispered while trying to hold back her tears. "Why...what did I ever do to her?"

"You haven't done anything..."

"Get out!" she screamed at Marik as he stood there, everything that had happened to her over the course of four months pouring out into the open because of one person. She wanted to die and leave here, "I can't take it!" he sat down next to her and pulled her into a soft embrace. He held her there for sometime before gently rubbing her hair. He smiled at her when the tears had almost stopped and lifted her chin in his hand. He smiled at her and sang to calm her down...just like in Egypt.

Author's notes: How evil is Isis. Sorry to all those Isis x Seto fans out there but it just wasn't going to work!
