Hi. Ishtar's babe, I really can't believe you reviewed that last chapter when you were pissed!!! I had to have this version of Ishtar, his 'normal' version on the show (I haven't seen that yet) is a bit insane, and not a good insane either. Blue, hello. Just unwell? Hum, I actually thougjt there would be Mariah bashing in this fic, but apparently not................ Anyway, thank you!!! P-chan thank you!!!! Nakoruru, how about I give you a brownie covered Tala too? With whipped cream? (Fresh whipped cream not the crappy stuff.) And now chapter 15, and no its not the end yet! That will be the Epilogue. (Evil laugh) The endding is not what you think it is.......... Hahahahahahaha! Ha. PS All Malik's POV for this chapter.

I have finally woken up to find Ishtar is in his own body, and my mind is quiet. No more ramblings about brownies, or anything like that! Its strange, but peaceful. I now hope that I can get used to this, no more Ishtar inside of me, just Malik, all the time and no one will take over me. As much as I like the peacefulness inside my mind, I am not allowed to leave the asylum for another month, they want to make sure that I am sane. However Dr Miller has informed me that I might be leaving sooner, because I have been acting normal, but its just incase. I like Dr Miller, she's a nice doctor. Unlike someone else I know.............. Its funny, not much has changed, well to bring people up to date, Bakura has been given a room so he'll be by himself instead of sharing with Ryou. And Ryou is now sharing with Ishtar Marik. The guy that used to be inside me. Ryou has not even asked any questions about it, we look alike and yet he acts like he did when incontrol of my body. Kai and I still share a room, though we swapped for an empty room because the blood stains would not come out. Voltaire has been sent to jail for 15 years, and Kai is now trying to give up on being perfect. Everything is completely back to normal, even bashing Tyson and Mariah!.

'Kai, was Tyson ever good in bed?' I asked him the day after we were sent back to the asylum.

'Yea, he was like a whore really,' Kai told me, and I had to laugh.

'What about Mariah?' I asked and Kai looked thoughtful for a moment.

'She's done it with Rei,' he said the same thing,' He told me.

'Two whores together,' I said with a small laugh.

'Yea, pretty much. You know, if Tyson hadn't charged into our room on that day, we would have probably have managed to escape, rather than thinking it was him having a tatrum,' As Kai said this, I could only nod.

'Well, Ishtar is back in his own body now,' I told him, and he nodded.

'I know,'

We then heard a loud; 'Wwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeee!' From down the corridor.

'Well, I think that means we should start running,' Kai joked and I smiled.

We opened our door and ran down the corridor, away from the loud voice. We were laughing as we were going along, and saw the reception desk. We dived into it, and the nurse there smiled at us, knowing what we were doing.

'Were are yooouuu?' The voice said in sing-song like tone.

'Young man, visitor's are coming here, go back to your room,' The nurse told him.

'Visitor's?' He repeated and she nodded; 'Oh,' He walked away.

'Hello I'm here to see Malik Ishtar?' I heard Isis say.

'Isis!' I leapt from where I was hiding, and smiled at her.

'Malik!' Ishtar screamed joyfully, and flung himself at me.

It would be stupid for me to say that I was caught unawares and I fell to the floor in pain. Never mind, I just said it.

'Ishtar,' Kai said and came towards us, my sister stood there her mouth gapping.

'Isis!' Ishtar was about to hug my sister, but I managed to hold him off.

'Ishtar, family time,' Kai told him, and they left to find Rita and brownies. Oh gods......

'Malik, what was that about?' Isis asked me, and I shrugged; 'Anyway Dr Miller said that you could come home,'

'For how long?' I asked, and Isis smiled.

'You won't have to come back here, aside from check up's, but we have been told that it will only last for two month's, you would have to see a therapist every week, and then someone would check to see how you are at home after that,'

'I'm......... I'm leaving so soon?' I asked her and she nodded.

'Are you not happy brother?' Isis asked me.

'I am, but Dr Miller told me it would be another month, maybe a bit less than that, but I did not expect it to be a few days later,' I informed her.

'I know you have made friends here, and that you need to pack as well, I shall see you tomorrow night,' Isis told me, and I nodded, she hugged me and I hugged her back, and then she left.

'I'm going home,' I whispered.

'That sounds great Malik,' I heard a whisper behind me.

'Ryou, how long have you been there?' I asked him, and he took a step back, as if I was threatening him.

'I was trying to find Ishtar, then I heard the end of your conversation, I'm sorry,' Ryou apologised.

'It doesn't matter, you would have found at dinner,' I said and walked away. I had to speak to Kai, and tell him everything.

I walked into my room, and saw Kai reading a book, Red Dragon. He looked up at me and closed his book, pulling me onto his bed. Then a comforting arm was wrapped around me.

'What's wrong?' Kai asked me.

'Isis, she came and told me that I am leaving,' I informed him, I heard him draw in air, and then let it go.

'Malik, you knew that you were going to get out of here ever since we left the hospital, which was only two day's ago,' Kai said to me, and I nodded; 'This is great, the asylum will not be on your personal records, you can have an actual life outside of here. Some of us will never be able to leave here, once we enter we can never go home,'

'But that's not true for you though,' I shook my head, no! He will come out, he has to come out!

'Malik, even when i do leave here, there is nothing out there for me, my record will have nothing but this asylum on it,' Kai told me, and I bit my own lip.

'But you will be able to leave, you have sit exams to get a job and a life outside of here though, right?' I asked him, what was he trying to do?

'Malik, if you had never met me, and you saw on my records that I had been inside a loony bin, what would you think?' He asked me, honestly.

'Your right, but if you were qualified for the job they might check to see exactly what was wrong with you,' I said, hoping against hope that he would agree.

'Malik, if there was someone else who had the exact same qualifications as me, but were not inside here, which one would they choose?' I sighed with defeat, and he hugged me.

'But you will leave though? You can leave?' I asked him, and he nodded, then kissed me.

'I can leave, so long as Dr Miller thinks I am all right. But enough about that, come on, Rita said she would be baking somethings,' Kai pulled me to my feet and we left, going to Ishtar and Ryou's room.

'I thought dinner?' I started but when the door was opened I saw Ishtar and Rita there; 'What is going on?'

'I baked far too much when you three were in hospital, and so I have decided that you three should eat it all. And Ishtar, you eat the cake after you have the sandwiches,' Rita informed the tanned boy, who looked so much like me I would have been scared, but because he had lived inside me for so long, I was not. Unless he was on a sugar high.

That night I told Kai something.

'I'm scared,' I whispered to him.

'Why?' He asked me, moving into my bed, and holding me.

'I'm worried what everyone will think of me.......'

'Malik, who gives a shit what other people think of you? You never cared while you were in here, and i know you did not care about it before you came here,' He told me, and I nodded; 'Go to sleep Malik,'

I did as he said, I fell asleep, and dreamt of nothing.

The next morning, or afternoon I should say, were all filled with goodbyes, and me packing.

'So, the girly-boy is leaving so soon? Too insane for the rest of us?' Mariah hissed, at the door way of the room.

'Shouldn't you be giving Tyson a blow job?' I asked inoccently.

'Should you give Kai one?' She snapped right back at me.

'All ready have, but if you want to watch.............?' I said, and she looked indignent. This pink gum girl was too easy! She left, and I saw Kai standing at the door way, I had now finished packing and had to wait one more hour.

'Very good, I'll miss hearing all those comments,' Kai said with a smirk.

'Same here,' i said with a nod.

'Not the one's that Mariah gave you, the one's you sent to Mariah,' Kai said and pushed me against the wall, closing the door with his left foot.

Suddenly his lips were on mine and then moved to my neck. I like this kind of goodbye, though I don't expect everyone to do it! Ew! Hell no!

'Just to make sure you remember me,' Kai told me, and then left.

I touched my neck, it felt sore. I went to a mirror, and saw why it felt sore. Kai had bitten me! Bloody hell. I noticed my golden choker, and put it on. I hadn't woren it for some time, ever since I came here infact, but it was a very good cover up. I zipped up my small case, and took it down to the visitor reception, the nurse there told me to leave it on her side on the desk, incase I needed to get anything. My cloak! But who would have it? I saw Dr Miller walking down the corridor and she smiled at me, holding my purple cloak.

'I had a feeling you would be wanting this,' I took it from her as she spoke to me.

'Thank you,' I said and she nodded.

'I think you should say goodbye to Ishtar,' She told me, and I did; 'I'll let Isis know your saying goodbye,'

I nodded my thanks and ran, to see Ishtar on Ryou's bed, crying into Dranzer.

'What is wrong with him?' I asked Ryou, who rubbed Ishtar's back gently.

'Your leaving!!!' Ishtar wailed.

'I can't stay. but I will visit, if you want me to,' I told Ishtar, who jumped me, and I landed on my back, on the floor. It was very painful, even if there was carpet, it was thin.

'Great! Tala, Driger, and now you!!!' Dranzer said, helping me up. She smiled at me and we hugged, then Ryou and I hugged, and then Ishtar hugged me, but was more gentle. Thank Ra for that!

'Where's Kai?' I asked them.

'He was off to find Rita,' Ryou whispered to me.

'Oh, right, well, I will visit,' I vowed and they all nodded.

'We'll go with you,' Ryou whispered to me, and I nodded.

'Even if you said no, we still would have gone,' Dranzer joked.

I had to wonder, where was Bakura? We walked down to the visitor reception, and I saw a cake with candles on it, three candles.

'Goodbye Malik,' Rita said with a soft smile, she was upset, but glad.

I guess her job she got close to people and was upset when they left, but happy to know that they would be all right. I saw Yugi, Yami and Bakura behind her, and they all hugged me in turn. Where was Kai? Isis stood there, my suit case next to her, I left out a sigh, and was about to walk out, lifting my bag.

'No brother, someone will be here shortly,' Isis told me, and I saw Kai running up to me.

'Forgetting me?' He asked me, with a smirk.

'I thought you had forgotten me,' I told him, and he shook his head.

'Never,' Kai informed me, and kissed my cheek; 'We'll see you soon no doubt,'

'No doubt,' I repeated.

'On the other side of the fence,' Bakura remarked.

'And completely sane,' Yami added.

'Shut up!' Bakura told him.

'I'll see you lot later,' I said, and blow out the candles on the cake.

Rita moved quickly as she cut part of the cake and put them into a small container, then gave it to Isis.

'You can't leave without some cake,' She said with a smile.

'Bye Rita, and thank you,' I whispered to her.

'I shall see you later Malik,' She told me, and I left.

We left, but I could not see my friends faces any more. I felt realived that i was away, no longer thought of as insane, but another part of me felt sad for leaving. Rishid was driving and Isis was next to him, I had the whole of the back to myself. And so I fell asleep on our way home.
