Author's Notes: I have a computer again! :) My computer... er... 'crashed' a while ago... on Monday or Tuesday, and we had to go to a shop to get it fixed. Then we had to get it hooked up to the internet again and so... here we are! Back again. Marik, disclaimer.
Marik: -.-;U Great, Kohaku's back. She's not waiting for 20 reviews, she thought 17 was enough.
Kohaku: Ya, so do it!Marik: Kohaku does not own YGO or my Malik and hopefully NEVER will!! XD. I state my point!-
Act 8-
It was a little while later, and the gang had left the living room so that Marik and Malik could be in peace and quiet for a change. Even Kohaku left, because she knew, Malik wanted only Marik now. She respected her little brother's wishes, so she left him alone, knowing that Marik would take good care of him for her.
Yugi, Yami, Joey, Serenity, Mai, Tea, Tristan, Ryou, Bakura and Kohaku were out in the kitchen (Kaoko could only appear in Spirit form at the time, but Bakura, Marik and Yami have bodies of their own), when Yugi had asked what to do.
"There's eating,"Joey suggested. Everyone laughed, but ignored Joey's suggestion. He sighed heavily.
"There's Television."
"Good idea Tristan."
"Don't I always have good ideas?"
"Since we last saw you do the monkey call, I don't think so, Tristan,"Joey said. Everyone laughed. That sure was something no one would forget. (Read 'A Kaiba Chibi')
The gang made there way into the living room, where Yugi turned on the TV. People sat on the floor, the couch, and the two arm chairs that were left behind. Yugi & Yami and Bakura & Ryou ended up sitting on the couch, Tea and Tristan in an arm chair, Serenity, Mai and Joey took the floor. By that time, Marik and Malik went up into a spare room, because it was raining so much that Yugi insisted they stay the night, as would Kohaku. They all agreed, so now, here they were.
Hardly any of them were watching TV because it was just too boring. Nothing seemed to be on. Ryou fell asleep in Bakura's arms, as did Yugi with Yami, Joey was snoring, his head head against Serenity's shoulder, Mai was thinking how disgusting Joey looked, even when snoring, because there was drool coming out of his mouth, but it was also cute because he was with Serenity. Kohaku was looking out the window with Tea.
"Hey, Kohaku…""Yeah?"
"I… I'm sorry for what happened to you guys."
Kohaku smiled. "It's ok, Tea. We'll make it through this… no matter what."
"But you've all been through so much over so little time."
"I know…"

Rishid had sneaked through the window of Malik's room to go into the house, since the Rare Hunters had it still surrounded. He snuck in wearing his Rare Hunter outfit, so just incase, people would suspect he was a hunter, and not a resident of the house.
When Rishid made it to the hall, he couldn't believe what he saw: Isis' corpse on the ground, bloodied. He ran over to her, and picked up her head. He noticed that her chest was still rising and falling; barely mind you.
"Rishid…"Isis choked on her words."Isis, are you ok?"Rishid asked. "What happened? Where are Malik, Marik and Kohaku?"
"Those three… are at the Game Shop…"she coughed again. "The Rare Hunters are to blame for what happened… to me…"
"So they aren't just after Malik…"
"They… are,"Isis coughed. "But they are only destroying the rest of us to get to Malik. I won't… I won't let them touch him!"
"Isis…"Rishid began.
"Please, Rishid. Watch out for them." Then she fell into unconsciousness. Rishid picked her up gently, and went to Malik's bedroom window again and climbed out. He then proceeded to run to the hospital as quickly as possible on feet.
-The hunters were outside the Ishtar house, not knowing Rishid had gotten Isis out of there. They were discussing plans again.
"Since some of our hunters are making their way to the game shop, we'll have this game won before we even do anything!"
The other hunters cheered."Yeah! Wh00t!"-Marik held Malik close in his arms while he slept. He rocked Malik back and forth to try and stop crying. He hated seeing Malik cry; it gave him a feeling of helplesness. Like he can't do anything for Malik.Marik kept on rocking Malik back and forth on the bed. He had fallen asleep from crying so hard after hearing of Isis' demise. But then…Marik heard a window creak. He looked over and his eyes widened. Rare Hunters were trying to get inside! To kill Malik!
Marik growled. He wasn't about to let that happen. But it was too late, the window was barged open and the hunters came in and surrounded them."Hand over the boy,"a hunter demanded.
Marik growled and pulled Malik closer, who was awake now and clinging to Marik for life. "Why should I listen to you?"
-
Kohaku gasped. She was getting the shock of her life. Rishid was running down the streets, and he was carrying Isis with him!
She raced over to the door, but Yugi yelled. "Kohaku, what is it?!"
"It's Rishid! He's outside! He has Isis!"
The others gasped and ran outside, following Kohaku. But when Kohaku looked towards the room Malik and Marik were in, she saw Rare Hunters trying to make their way into the room, and to Malik.
"Guys, please go and see Rishid, I have to check on Malik and Marik. They are in danger.""Danger, how?"Joey asked.
"Look up,"Kohaku answered, and Joey got his answer.
"Rare hunters!"
-Marik was busy trying to send ever Rare Hunter to the Shadow Realm, and that wasn't easy if you didn't have your Millennium Rod with you, but it was still possible without it. Malik was still clinging to Marik, and Marik had one arm wrapped around his waist, guarding him from any Rare Hunter that tried to even touch him.
Kohaku burst into the room and gasped. Malik and Marik were surrounded by Hunters!
