Chapter 8
"This is stupid! I have magic in my blood!" He sneered, "I don't need to go to some school to learn how to use it. I can use it very well thank you very much!"
"With your millennium item yes. With out it? Unlikely, which is why you should go." A woman put in smiling serenely at her brother.
"Oh have you foreseen that I shall go sister?" Malik asked haughtily, and sighed when Isis just replied with a mysterious smile. That blasted necklace, Malik grumbled half-heartedly. This conversation sealed his fate, as far as Malik was concerned. Before he knew it his bags were packed and he was stalking in the Leaky Cauldron facing a cheerful man introducing himself as Tom and giving Malik a room. "Blasted sister." Malik growled as he threw his bags to the floor.
Tom gave the blonde haired boy a knowing smile. "Sister eh? I have a sister as well. Horribly annoying things aren't they?" Tom asked. Malik's purple eyes narrowed, but he said nothing. Tom coughed uncomfortably. "Well..Diagon Ally is outside, that's were you will get your stuff for school. I suppose you want me to show you were?" Tom asked.
"No." Malik replied flatly his eyes never straying from the innkeeper.
"..alright then..," Tom began and shuffled to the door, "if you need anything.I'll be down stairs in the pub." Malik nodded so slightly it was barely noticeable. Tom left and began to go down the stairs shivering ever so slightly. He wasn't sure but Malik Isthar made him uncomfortable when he stared at you, it felt almost as if he could see in your mind and twist your feelings to his own advantage. "Nonsense." Tom told himself, "he's just a kid, nothing more."
/Something's here/" Yugi frowned in his sleep and rolled over, his blonde bangs tousled from sleep. /Aibou..wake up!/ Yami continued trying to get his Hikari to shed the fogginess of sleep. "mmmmm." Yugi replied and groaned burrowing his head into the fluffy pillow. /WAKE UP!/ Yugi jumped up with a jolt. YAMI! Why did you do that??!
Sighing, Yami phased out of the puzzle and appeared next to Yugi in his slightly translucent form. "Something is here..a millennium item.it must be." Yami told Yugi.
Yugi yawned widely and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes before Yami's statement had sunk in. "What? A millennium item? Here? How?" Yugi yelped and he struggled to get out of bed.
"I don't know. It feels like a millennium item." Yami told Yugi who was pulling on his normal outfit.
"I don't feel anything." Yugi told Yami. /You wouldn't./ "What's that supposed to mean?" Yugi frowned. /I've dwelled in the puzzle for a long time, I recognize the power given out by the millennium items./ "Are you sure it's a millennium item?" Yugi asked again.
"Yes."
Yugi heaved a sigh. "Then there is only one thing left to do."
"That would be?" Yami questioned.
"Ask Ryou. His ring can hone in on other millennium items right? So hopefully if there is another millennium item here it will detect it." Yugi told Yami. Yami phased back into the puzzle.
Yugi gave his bed one last longing look before entering the hallway and quietly shutting the door behind him. Yugi walked as silently as he could to the room Ryou had pointed out to him yesterday. The floors groaned and creaked making Yugi wince and pray that either no one else was staying here or that it wouldn't wake anyone else up.
Yugi tapped softly on the door, which whipped open quickly. A severely harassed looking Ryou stood in the doorway and sighed, "Good. I thought it would be you." Ryou stepped back and motioned for Yugi to enter the small room. "Yami woke me up saying there was a millennium item nearby." Ryou told Yugi.
"Yami told me the same thing," Yugi said.
"Well I got out my millennium ring just to be sure and." Ryou trailed off holding the ring in his pale hand. It glowed eerily for a moment before one of the hanging charms rose and pointed toward the doorway.
"So it's true." Yugi breathed staring at the ring. "What should we do?" Yugi demanded, "We don't know who the person is or what millennium item they have. Even worse we don't know what they want! I wouldn't mind if they were after our millennium items, but if that's true the only reason they came here is to come after us." Yugi cried and Ryou nodded. "I'd feel horrible if anyone here got hurt because of us."
"As would I," Ryou told Yugi. "I suppose the best course of action would be to follow the rings directions and see if we can get a look at who has the millennium item." Ryou sighed, his brown eyes full of concern.
"Yes, I think we should do that." Yugi agreed. So the duo wandered quietly into the hallway, following the points on the millennium ring. They turned down several corridors before the ring abruptly pointed to one door. This door didn't appear to be any different from any of the others. /This is it/ Yugi nodded mentally. "Who should go in?" Yugi mused out loud.
Yugi and Ryou stared at each other and simultaneously whispered. "You," pointing a finger and each other. They stared at each other for a moment without blinking. /What are you too doing?/ an annoyed Yami asked. Yugi blinked and Ryou smiled at him.
"Fine, I'll go." Yugi muttered reluctantly and reached hesitantly for the brass doorknob. Yugi padded into the dark room leaving Ryou standing in the shadows of the hallway. Yugi could hear the soft steady breathing of someone who was sleeping. Slinking Yugi headed for the bed, taking a deep breath and praying the person wouldn't wake up. 'Darn.' Yugi thought to himself, the occupant of the bed had the blankets pulled over their head.
'I'm going to get caught.' Yugi thought glumly and reached for the blanket, lifting it up slightly so it did not brush the person's face when he pulled it down. Yugi's amethyst eyes widened and his face paled quite a bit. He put the blanket down as gently he could before running as quickly as he dared to the door and ran down the hallway dragging Ryou after him.
"Yugi? What was it? You look like you've seen a ghost?" Ryou asked as soon as they returned to his room. Actually, Ryou noted as his eyes skimmed over his friends pale face, he looked horrible. "You look like you've been hit by a truck." Ryou told him bluntly before he could stop himself.
Yugi blinked his violet eyes at Ryou for a moment. "I feel like I've been hit by a truck..sort of. As for seeing a ghost, I think I may have seen one of those." Yugi said faintly and sat on the bed looking thoughtful. "Remember Battle City?" Yugi suddenly asked.
Ryou jolted. "Yes, well sort of, I was kind of being controlled most of time." Ryou looked at his millennium ring. "Why?"
"Nothing," Yugi muttered holding the millennium puzzle in his hands. His fingered tightened around it comfortingly.
"Who was there Yugi?" Ryou queried in a serious voice.
"Well.remember what I said about seeing ghosts?" Yugi chuckled nervously. "It was Malik."
"WHAT??!" Ryou yelped making Yugi jump. "I thought he went back to Egypt with Isis!" Ryou stated.
"I know," Yugi hissed.
"Why is he here of all places?" Ryou asked.
"It must be the millennium rod. If we have magic because of our millennium items, it makes sense that he would have magic because of his millennium item." Yugi said softly. "It seems we will have more on our minds besides hiding the power of the millennium puzzle and ring." Yugi began.
"Yah, we'll have to worry about them being stolen." Ryou continued dryly.
"Maybe he has changed. He was so different after Battle City, maybe he doesn't want the power of the millennium items and Yami anymore." Yugi said hopefully.
"I guess we'll find out won't we?" Ryou asked out loud.
K: How was that?
Yami K: Any comments, suggestions, or questions are welcome.
K: Next chapter hopefully out by Wednesday. ^_^
