Author's Notes: Hello, again. I don't know what to update on my other account, so I'm here again. I made a mistake last chapter. Remember when I mentioned the monkey call Tristan did and the fanfic to read so you'd understand what I meant? Well, it's on my other account which is KohakuTheDragonGoddess. -.- The other writers stole all of the other good names. The song in this chapter is 'Dangerous Game' by Three Doors Down. I used it in a oneshot with RxB. Marik!
Marik: What now?
Kohaku: Disclaimer.
Marik: No.
Kohaku: Please? If you don't. . . you know who is next to die in this story. . . if you don't want that to happen then. . .Marik: -growl- Okay, okay! Kohaku does NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh, and she was just kidding about the part where Malik is going to die, RIGHT?Kohaku: -whistles and walks off, humming-

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yugi and the gang were running over to Rishid right after Kohaku had just gotten into the Game Shop and into the room Marik and Malik were in. Rishid noticed them and stopped running. He turned to look at them.
"I thought. . . Malik and Marik and Kohaku were with you?"he asked.
"They are. . . they. . . they're just in a wee bit of trouble right now,"Joey answered.
"A wee bit, Wheeler?"Bakura asked, holding Ryou's hand.
"What do you mean?"Rishid asked.
"Look over there,"Joey pointed to the window where Rare Hunters where still climbing into. Rishid's eyes widened. They were after Malik. He then turned to Yugi and his friends.
"Do any of you have a car to use so I can get Isis to the hospital?"he asked.
"I do,"Mai said. "Follow me." The two of them left, leaving the rest of them behind.
"I wonder how Isis is. . ."Tea said.
"She looked pretty wounded when I looked at her,"Bakura stated.
"I hope she'll be okay. . . for Malik's sake,"Yugi said, still looking at the window where the hunters were going in. "Think we should help?"
"Yeah,"Joey replied. "Super Joey!"Everyone sweatdropped."Super dork's more like it.""Hey!"-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Malik gasped as he saw a hunter going after Kohaku. "Sister, look out!"Kohaku turned around and doged every hunter that came after her with incredible speed. Her demon skills were improving very much. Marik smirked. He knew she would be fine, she was a demon with impecible speed, and she could take care of herself. But he had a mission, to protect Malik. Those hunters wanted to get at him by getting at everyone he cared most about. Well, Marik wasn't about to let that happen to Malik. If it was anyone else that was in this situation he wouldn't have cared, but this was Malik. The hunters were HIS servants, but they turned on him. They almost killed Isis, they didn't know she was dead for sure, but. . . Malik could be next. He wasn't about to let that happen. He would make up for all he had done in the past, by saving Malik, and finally living in peace one again with his hikari.
A hunter had caught him by surprise and reached out a hand to take Malik from him, but Marik shoved the hunter away and sent him to the Shadow Realm, still holding Malik in his arms tightly, who was crying slightly.Marik wiped away a tear from his eyes. "Don't worry. . . this will all be over soon. . ."
-You stand before me now
We stare eye to eye
Before another second clicks away
One of us will die-
Another hunter came to grab Malik, and this time, he succeeded. Malik screamed. Kohaku and Marik looked at the hunter that had Malik in their grasp. Marik growled, and sent the man to the Shadow Realm. There was a flash of light and the two covered their eyes from the blinding light. When the light faded, it was followed by a cry of shock, and then nothing.
-You reach for your metal as I reach for mine
The sound of bullets flying through the air
Is followed by a cry
And they're crying-
"M-Marik, what just happened?"Kohaku stuttered.
"I-I don't believe this!!"Marik shouted, slamming his fist into the wall.
"What is it?"Kohaku asked.
"The damn hunter ended up taking Malik with him! DAMMIT!"another punch to the wall.
"Uh. . . hey, how about instead of destroying Yugi's house, we go to the Shadow Realm and find him?"Kohaku asked.
"Just as long as the hunter STAYS."Kohaku winked. "Deal."Marik smirked. They both walked out of the room. The hunters had all been sent to the Shadow Realm, and no more were left. They saw Yugi and the gang walking towards them.
"Are you guys ok?"Yugi asked.
"We're fine,"Kohaku answered, but Marik was looking at his feet.
"Wait- w-where's Malik?"Ryou asked, holding Bakura's hand tightly.
-What will we do?
What will we say?
When it's the end of this game that we play?-
Marik never answered, so Kohaku answered for him. "He ended up going to the Shadow Realm with the hunter that Marik sent there. The hunter had grabbed him, so. . ."
"Poor Malik. . ."Tea said sadly, looking over at Marik, but she didn't recieve a respone or anything from Marik, not even a gaze at her. He just looked at his feet.I. . . I failed. . . to protect him. . . Malik. . . he thought, lost.-Will we crumble to the dust my friend?Or will we start this game over again?-Kohaku put a hand on Marik's shoulder, but he didn't look up at all. "We're going to find him."
"WHAT?! You just can't go to that place alone, it's dangerous,"Yugi exclaimed, eyes wider than ever.
"We both can withstand the power of the Realm. . . but Malik. . . can't." That made Marik flinch.
"Yes, he can."Everyone looked at him. "Oh? And how?"
"I taught him."
"You. . . did?"Kohaku asked. "When?"
Marik smirked. "When you weren't looking."
Kohaku frowned and Marik's smirk only grew wider. They made their way out of the shop, thanking Yugi for all the help, well. . . Kohaku thanked them, and she made a portal to the Shadow Realm, where the two left.
-The young man lays aloneBut fastened to the ground
The sound of fleeing feet
And a crying will be his last sound-
Malik opened his eyes slowly. He looked around, and found the dead hunter beside him. He shivered. He wanted Marik here right now, to hold him, to tell him it was all right.
Where was he, anyway? The last thing he remembered was Marik sending the hunter to. . .
"I'm in the Shadow Realm!!"Malik exclaimed.
"That you are,"a voice giggled.
"W-Who are you?"Malik asked.
The Dark Magician Girl appeared in front of him. "You are in my master's caslte; the castle of Dreams."
"And. . . w-who is your m-master?"Malik asked.
The Dark Magician Girl giggled. "Your sister."
"You mean Kohaku?!"Malik exclaimed, wide eyed.
The DMG giggled. "Yup! You can call me Maddy. I don't know why, I just like the name."
"Oh ok, so are any other monsters here?"Malik asked.
"Well, if it isn't my old master,"a dragon soared through the castle ceiling and landed down on the floor, folding up its wings and grinning, its large teeth showing.
"Ra!"Malik exclaimed, grinning. "How are you?"
Ra groaned. "I've been better. You?"
"Same."
"Maddy, Maddy!"a monster cried, which Malik quickly recognised as the Dark Magician, came up to her in a speed of light.
"What is it, Saki?"Maddy asked curiously, eyeing him.
Weird names for monsters. . . Malik thought.
"Tell me about it,"Ra said, as if reading his thoughts. "I'm glad I don't have a name like that."
Malik giggled. He wasn't used to seeing monsters talk. Actually, that experience never happened to him.
"Our master is here. . . and she brought someone with her!"Saki, the Dark Magician exclaimed.
"My sister is here?"Malik asked, his eyes wide.
Saki eyed Malik. "And she brought someone who looks kind of like you. . . except the hair is kind of awkward. . ."
Malik giggled. "Where are they?""Follow me,"Maddy explained, leading Malik towards Kohaku and Marik.Marik was getting worried by the minute. Who knows what the rare hunter would do to Malik? He wasn't even sure if he was dead. . . the hunter, I mean. . . the next thing Marik knows, he hears someone calling to him. "Marik! Kohaku!"
They both looked over, to see Maddy and Saki walking over to them with Ra trailing behind, flying. He had Malik on him, who was having a great time flying on Ra, looking down at his sister and boyfriend - they looked like tiny ants almost, but not when Ra flew back down and let his wings go down so Malik could get off.
When he got off Ra, he was first in Marik's arms. "Oh, I was so worried about you, Malik. I don't know what could've happened to you if you were with that hunter. . ."
"The hunter I saw him with is dead,"Maddy explained to them.
"No kidding? I know more will be on the way. . . we still have to deal with: the boss,"Kohaku replied as they all giggled.
"How are you, master? And the pharaoh. . .?"Saki asked.
She sighed heavily. "We've been having difficulties in my world. . . Yami's good. . .and so is the rest of us. . . well. . . except Isis. . ."That made Malik flinch, tears threatening to fall.
-What did we gan from all this?
Now was it worth a life?We've thrown all our hopes away and set our dreams aside Now we're crying-
"The goddess of law, healing, motherhood and fertility(1)?"Maddy asked. The others sweatdropped. "Not that one."
"Oh. . ."Maddy said, looking embarrassed.
"It's okay. Besides, they both have the same names, after all,"Kohaku explained.
"Yeah. . .that is true. . ."Saki said.
"Well, I guess we should probably be going. Ra, do us the honors of finishing off the dead hunter,"Kohaku said, grinning.
"I wouldn't have it any other way, master,"Ra said, grinning, his teeth showing.
The three of them vanished through the portal, and sighed in relief that the battle was almost over. . .almost. . .
-What will we do?
What will we say?
When it's the end of this game that we play
Will we crumble to the dust my friend?
Or will we start this game over again?
It's coming back to me
It's coming back to me
What will we do?
What will we say?
When it's the end of this game that we play?
Will we crumble to the dust my friend?
Or will we start this game over again?-

Dark Magician Girl / Hikaru: I think I'll make Isis live, for now. . . -smirk- And I'm glad you like them! :) I don't have anything now. . . Bakura destroyed everything. Sue him if you want. I have to go to SleepyCat Sweets (Candy Store... and REALLY CANDY STORE) and get some more stuff. All I got left it is Berty Botts Every Flavor Beans. . . I can still taste the vomit flavor one I ate two weeks ago. . . -gag- Buttered Popcorn flavor is the best! Here! -gives u a package- Note: DON'T THINK OF EATING THE VOMIT ONE. THE GRASS FLAVOR ONE IS GOOD. HARUKO AND I TRICKED SOMEONE INTO EATING DIRT AND SOAP ONCE :)
Haruko: Ah, good times. . .
marikandcloe: I might decide to do that sometime. I don't really think I'll put a SetoxJou in there. . . I don't think I'd be too good with that pairing. Actually, my name is Kohaku, and I never knew about Inu-Yasha when I had my name, so, technically, no, I didn't get MY name from Inu-Yasha. My mother gave it to me before she died. It means Amber in Japanese.
Darknessmiko: Here's alot more for you. I know what you mean. . . I think I'll have either Marik or Bakura kill him. You pick.
(1): Isis invented agriculture. She was the goddess of law, healing, motherhood and fertility. She came to be seen as a kind of Mother Earth figure.I got that from a book called "Time For Kids Alamanac 2004 With Fact Monster". There are other gods/goddesses names mentioned in there from Egypt like Ra, Nut, Osiris, Horus, Thoth and Nephthys. Cool, huh? There are also gods/goddesses listed in from Aztec, Mayan, and Norse. I doubt anyone lives in those countries or whatever on this site. . .but if there is and you want to know some of the gods/goddesses there, contact me! My e-mail is on my account.
Well, I think that's about all. Review, please! MUCH APPRECIATED. I am so glad this story is doing so well, and be prepared for a NOT SO GOOD lemon/lime at the end. . . I might need help with this so Dark Magician Girl / Hikaru, maybe you could e-mail me sometime and help? -hopeful smile- Thanks!
Later days!
