Hidden Emotions

Chapter 11- Act 10 Part 2

The next day, Malik was the first one up. He found himself still in Marik's arms, and Marik was keeping a fierce grip around him, so he couldn't escape to get anything to eat. He whsipered in Marik's ear.

"Marik, I'm okay, can you let me go, please?"Marik reluctantly let of his hikari slowly, and Malik got off the bed, placing the covers over Marik, went out into the kitchen.

When Malik reached the kitchen, he found Kohaku sitting in a chair. She jumped because she heard footsteps, and looked over to see Malik. She smiled. "Ohayo."

"Ohayo, neesan,"he yawned as he walked over to the fridge, muttering about how Marik is so overprotective of him. Kohaku smirked.

"Something wrong?"she asked.

"Marik wouldn't let go of me when I woke up,"Malik replied.

"Well, at least you know that's a sign he wants you and nothing but you,"Kohaku said.

"Yeah… but sometimes his overprotectivness can be annoying…"Malik muttered.

Kohaku giggled. "Yeah, I guess you're right."

"Are we going to see Isis, neesan?"Malik asked.

"Yeah… should we invite Marik?"she asked.

"Could I please have at least 1 hour where his arms aren't around me, hissing at everyone who goes near me?"Malik asked. (A/N: Imagine that scene. Kawaiiness galore!)

Kohaku giggled. "Okay, but we should leave a note. 'Cause I know he'll worry."

Malik nodded. He wrote the note and they set off.

-------

Little did they know, rare hunters were waiting at the hospital for them…

-------

Marik moaned and got up. He jumped when he noticed Malik wasn't with him. He started to panic. What if something happened to him? What if he was…

Marik went into the kitchen to find a note on the fridge:

Dear Marik,

Nessan and I went to the hospital to see Isis. I didn't ask you because I didn't want to wake you. Won't be long.

Love,

Malik

Marik smiled. He put the note in the garbage and went to the fridge. Little did he know that Malik and Kohaku were currently in battle.

Marik!!he yelled.

Marik jumped. What's wrong?

Rare hunters… hospital…

WAIT!! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?!he asked frantically.

No answer. Marik growled. He got his coat on and ran to the hospital.

-------

Malik lay on the ground of Isis' hospital room, covered in blood. A rare hunter had shot him. Kohaku and Isis screamed his name for reply, but nothing came.

"MALIK!"they screamed. Kohaku ran over to Malik at the speed of light. The hunters had disappeared, thinking they had killed Malik. Kohaku picked him up, and sat on Isis' bed, resting his head on her lap.

"Is- is- is he okay?"Isis asked.

Kohaku grabbed his hand and searched frantically for a pulse, but nothing. Tears went down her face. Even if Marik does heal the wound… it'll all ready be too late… He's dead.

"Isis… he… he's dead."

"W… What?"she stuttered, not believing her sister's words, even though she knew they were true. She would never lie.

"He's… gone."

Kohaku hugged Malik's body close, and cried on it, tears falling onto Malik's bloody chest. She could have sworn she heard him moan, but it was just her imagination. Suddenly, a knock was heard at the door.

"W… who is it?"Kohaku asked through tears.

"It's me,"Marik's voice came through the door. "…something's wrong, isn't it?"

"Uh-huh."

"Can I come in?"Marik asked.

"S-sure. Though, you may not like what you are about to see."

Marik opened the door slowly, and gasped. His eyes widened in fright. Was Malik really…

He slowly walked over to Kohaku, and took Malik from her arms. He healed the wound while the others watched in amazement, and then put his ear to Malik's chest, listening for a heart beat. He sighed.

"Anything?"Kohaku asked.

"A faint one."

The two sighed in relief. He was going to be ok.

"How do the rare hunters always seem to know our locations?"Marik asked, stroking Malik's hair absentmindedly, looking up at the two girls on Isis' bed.

"Don't know… technology must have something to do with it, though,"Kohaku explained.

"We don't have tracking devices or anything on us, though. So how?"Isis asked.

"Hmm, good point. Maybe magic has something to do with it,"Kohaku said.

"But how do we figure out where the boss is? I want to give him a piece of my mind,"Marik growled.

"I could track him down with the Millennium Locket… or…"she looked at Marik.

"Oh, no, I am NOT asking Bakura!"

"Then ask Ryou."

"Bakura'd kill me if I go anywhere near him!"

"Don't be such a fraidy cat, Marik,"Kohaku punched him in the shoulder.

"Hey!"he shouted. Kohaku giggled.

"Well, let's wait until Malik wakes up before we do any searching, shall we?"Isis asked.

"Yeah…"

Dark Magician Girl / Hikaru: Gomen, I didn't recieve your email cause every week I get at least 20 emails a day (all from a group site I joined on Inu-Yasha… I swear that people never leave the message boards on that site…), and then by the end of the week I have over 100 so I don't think I got it. Can you send it again, please? (puppy eyes) If you don't, I kill Malik! (smirk)

A/N: I know, sadness is a thing I do best at, isn't it??

Marik: -Growls- How… dare… you… kill… him!

A/N: I DIDN'T KILL HIM, DAMMIT!!!! REMEMBER, HE HAS A HEARBEAT SINCE YOU HEALED THE WOUND!!! I WOULDN'T KILL MY OWN FLESH AND BLOOD!!!

Marik: -growl- You better not have.

A/N: Also, question. Do you think I should change the name 'Hidden Emotions?' Do you think it fits the story? I know it fit for chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4, but I don't know anymore. Please let me know in a review!!! And if you don't think the name fits, give me another one!! ALSO, one person suggested I put a little more RxB fluff in this story. It's mostly centered around Malik and Marik and the Ishtars, but I'll take voting. If you want RxB fluff too, ask in a review! Another thing... I plan on making Yu-Gi-Oh Shounen Ai Halloween story... so check that out as well! I hope to post it exactly on Halloween or the day before!

Sakura: Bye!

Marik: Bye!

Malik: -waves- Bye!!

Ryou: Bye, bye! -waves-

Bakura: Bye.

Kohaku: BYE!!! :)

Later days, folks! Have a good… er… HALLOWEEN!! That is if I don't update this story until then… later days!!
