Hidden Emotions: Act 2

It was time to go home from school, and Malik made his way home in Domino City. It was starting to rain.

When Malik got home, he ran right up to his sister, Isis' room and knocked on her door.

Isis answered the door. "What is it, Malik?"

"Sister, my dark side is back,"Malik replied.

Isis gasped. "How?"

"He's a transfer student to Domino High and he is in my class!"Malik exclaimed.

"It is obvious he has come back to collect the 7 Millennium Items,"Ishizu said.

"But why would he come as a student in school then? He didn't do it during Battle City,"Malik stated.

Isis pondered for a minute or two. "He didn't, so, in that case, what is he planning?"

Malik let out a sob. "Sister… I don't want him to cause anymore chaos."

"I know, Malik,"Isis said. She went over and sat on her bed. "Come here."

Malik nodded and sat beside Isis. She pulled him close, resting his head on her chest. Malik started to cry.

"Shh…"Isis said, stroking her brother's blond hair. "You don't have to worry, because he wont get to the pharaoh or anyone else. After all, the pharaoh possesses the 3 Egyptian Gods and he has defeated Marik once before with only two. And… I wont let him near you."

"Do you p-promise, sister?"Malik said, sniffling, his eyes closing.

"I promise."

Soon after that, Malik had fallen asleep in Isis' arms.

Marik walked along the streets of Domino City, looking for any sign of Malik or Isis. He couldn't find either of them and he had all ready checked the Domino Museum. He suddenly spotted Ryou and Bakura. He wondered if he should ask Bakura, maybe he would know where Malik lives. But after all, Bakura was not… really nice.

But then why did he have an arm draped over Ryou's shoulder, and why was Ryou blushing? The more important thing was, why was Bakura smiling whenever he talked to Ryou?

Marik slowly made his way towards Bakura and Ryou. Marik thought Bakura sensed his presence because he turned around and when he saw Marik, he put both arms around Ryou, because Bakura still remembered when Marik sent Ryou to the Shadow Realm.

"Hello, Marik,"Bakura said, glaring. "Come to cause more chaos, I assume?"

Marik smirked. "I wish. But I can't without my Millennium Rod, now, can I, tomb robber?"

"I was wondering where that went,"Bakura said.

"Unfortunatley the Pharaoh has it now,"Marik growled.

"I see."

"I was wondering if you had any idea where Malik lived?"Marik asked.

"He lives on Route 22 in MS Street. His house number is 10,"Bakura replied. "Why?"

"This is none of your concern, Bakura,"Malik said, waving once as he walked away.

"D-Do you think h-he will c-c-come back?"Ryou stuttered.

"I don't know, Ry,"Bakura said, draping an arm over Ryou's shoulder, causing Ryou to blush. "But I wont let him come after you again."

Marik made his way towards MS Street. It was not a really crowded street, actually, there were practically no people there whatsoever. Marik guessed it was Isis who chosed where they lived, and in his opinion, Isis had a bad taste for suggesting places to live.

"Now… what house did Bakura say Malik lived in? Oh yes, number 10."

Marik suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. He heard a blood curling scream, and instantly realised who it was.

"Malik…"
