A little while later after Malik had breakfast, he had gotten dressed and walked back into his room, only to find Marik still sleeping. He walked over to him and nudged him awake.
"Marik, wake up, sleepy head,"Malik chuckled.
"I can sleep if I want to, thank you,"Marik said with a growl, pulling the covers up and over him, leaving Malik only one option. He pounced up on the bed, making Marik scream bloody murder. He got up, which caused Malik to almost fall off the bed, if it hadn't been for Marik who caught him just in time. They sat back on the bed a few minutes later, Malik's head rested against Marik's chest.
"Malik, you remember yesterday, right?"Marik asked. "The horrible thing yesterday?"Malik sighed. "Yeah."
"Do you remember anything? Like seeing who it was that stabbed you?"Marik asked, looking down at Malik, who was looking back up at him.
"From what I remember, a rare hunter…"Malik replied.
"But weren't they YOUR servants?"Marik asked. "Why would they turn on you?"
"I'm not sure,"Malik said, a little uncomfortable with the subject they were discussing. He had long forgotten about the stabbing until Marik mentioned it just then.
Marik noticed he felt uncomfortable, so he skipped the subject. "How about this? We go out to lunch, since it is Saturday, after all."
"Okay,"Malik replied, moving in Marik's arms."Oh, Malik, who was that girl I heard talking with you and Ishizu? They woke me up a little bit so I heard them."
"My other sister, Kohaku,"Malik replied. "She means the world to me."
"More than Ishizu?"Marik asked."Well… the thing is… when we were living in Egypt, we were best of friends and siblings. It was on the day when we went to explore the surface, above the sands, she got kidnapped. I don't know who did it because Kohaku doesn't like to talk about it much. We were separated almost 7 years if I hadn't seen her in Battle City. She was a duelist in the tournament,"Malik explained.
"She was kidnapped?"Marik asked. "When she was 6?"Malik nodded sadly. "I was lost ever since. Even Ishizu and Odeon couldn't comfort me then. All I wanted was Kohaku.
"But when I went to Battle City, I was shocked to see her. She was with Yugi and his friends. She had mostly made friends with Serenity and Mai, two other people from Battle City whom I remember faintly. We couldn't have a family reunion in front of her friends, now could we if I was known as Namu to them back then? She knew it was me whenever she was with Yugi and I mindcontrolled someone into dueling the pharaoh, but she kept it secret."
"So, how did you two ever get the chance to see each other privatley?"Marik asked."During Battle City, on the blimp when the duels were taking place… only when it wasn't me dueling someone. We always had our moments, but never told anyone on the blimp about our siblingship. But after Battle City we did, because it was too hard keeping it secret any longer.""I see."
Malik nodded and looked at the clock. 11am. "Wow, time flies when you are chatting, huh?"
Marik chuckled a bit at this. "Yes, it does. All right, let us go now, how's that?"
Malik nodded. He was getting off the bed, when he felt he was being lifted into the air. He shrieked and clung to Marik when he brought him back down.They left the house together, leaving Ishizu, Kohaku and Odeon in the house alone.
"Did you hear that shriek?"Kohaku asked. She hadn't a clue about Malik's relationship with Marik yet.
"Yes, I did,"Ishizu said, smiling.
"Wasn't it Malik? What if Marik did something — "
"He didn't,"Isis answered. "Listen, Kohaku. We must tell you something important. The real reason why Marik is back."
"The REAL reason?"
"He is here, for Malik and nothing more than that,"Ishizu replied.Kohaku was left speechless. Someone had taken her precious Malik away from her. That bastard Marik. What could he possibly give him that she hadn't? Wait, there are many answers to that. Shit."When did he arrive?"Kohaku asked."Yesterday, Malik told me he was a transfer student in Domino High in his class,"Ishizu explained. "We thought he came back for the Millennium Items, but he came back for Malik instead."
"I see…"Kohaku rested her head in her hands. My Malik…
Ishizu placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Kohaku. Malik loves you all the same. Nothing's different."
"It's just that he will be with Marik more than me… and in the past, I could never bear to be away from Malik… I was almost broken when I was kidnapped…"
Ishizu looked at her sister. She loved Malik, perhaps more than anyone except Marik. But in Kohaku's opinion, there was much more Marik could give to Malik then she ever could.Malik and Marik walked the streets of Domino City, looking for a restaurant to eat lucnh, when suddenly, Malik saw a person in the Shadows looking at them. He noticed that the person was a man, and that he wore a long purple coat with a hood over his head so that you couldn't make out the face of the man. Malik hid behind Marik, who looked at him questioningly.
"What is it, Malik?"Marik asked.
"There's s-someone over there…"Malik replied, pointing to the place the rare hunter was watching them.
Marik looked over and saw the hunter. He took Malik's arm. "Come on."
They ran for their lives as the rare hunter chased them both down the streets with a gun in his hand.
"Get back here, you two!"the hunter yelled as he started shooting. Marik hid Malik's head and continued to run.
"W-Where are we going? We can't possibly lose him!"Malik asked.
"I know a place,"Marik replied. "Just calm down."
Malik nodded. He started getting tired from the running and so Marik picked him up, still trying to hide him from the hunter with the gun, and kept running.
Finally, after a few minutes of running, they found themselves at an alley with a dead end. The hunter didn't come down that way, or so they thought."Just keep quiet,"Marik instructed, keeping Malik close to him, who nodded, scared for life. Why do they come after us now? Why not before? he wondered.
They heard random shooting, which wasn't far away from them at all.
Suddenly, Malik thought of something. He could communicate with his sister Kohaku through mind. Maybe she would be able to rescue them! It was worth a shot… considering the situation they were in at the moment didn't look hopeful for a chance of survival…
{Sister?}[[Malik, I thought we grew out of using this.]]{But sister, you don't understand! Marik and I are in trouble!}Malik exclaimed. {A rare hunter is following us everywhere trying to kill us!}
[[Oh my, Ra! Where are you? I'll come and find you!]]Kohaku exclaimed.
{We're in an alley not far away from our street and it's a dead end. But sis, beware of the hunter because he's in in the alley too, looking for us.}
[[You don't need to worry about me, Malik-kun. I'll be there soon. Just stay close to Marik and stay hidden!]]
{Okay.}
"Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in…"a man's voice said, approaching the dead end they were at. Marik held Malik close, who clung to him.
