Wounded Hearts
Chapter 16: Double Sided Blade
And then before Bakura could see it, he was thrown against the wall. His head smacked against the wall and everything went black.
Isis Ishtar woke up in a very unexpected place. In fact, it was so unexpected she cried out in fear. You see, she was expecting anything; Yami, a dungeon, Marik ... Shadi ... but certainly not Set.
Set dropped her when she screamed at him. Shadi immediately helped her to her feet where she regained her composture and glared at Set.
"How dare you hold me and drop me as if I were a useless rag!" At her own words she blushed; his strong arms around her made her feel safe and warm.
But Set's reply made all of thoise 'nice-feelings' disappear from her mind, "And are you not a worthless rag?"
Shadi frowned as Priestess Isis scowled, "This is no time for petty insults. The thief, Bakura is inside with our brother ... and I know not if he remains alive."
Set rolled his eyes, "So what! He's probably dead by now ... let's US try to escape that retard ... Marik, I think is his name."
Isis' mouth dropped open, "That retard is MY brother!"
Set paled, "I ... didn't know ... nor did I care!"
For the first time in the very short while Shadi had known him, Set looked flustered. He sighed, "This would be a bad time to make it clear he is MY brother as well, no Isis?"
Isis rolled her eyes and was about to say something to High Priest Set, when Shadi interupted, "La! Isis, really now, this is not time for your little love-bird arguments! We must at least TRY to help my brother!"
Set rolled his eyes and walked over to the door. He pressed his ear against the door, "Nothing ..."
He cautiously turned to knob to find ... it was locked.
Malik walked over to the thief's limp body, "Oh ... I will have FUN with you my pet ... Now, what should go first? Should I rip your beating heart out, or crack your skull in half?"
Malik unsheathed the Rod's dagger.
Outside, Seto finished picking the lock ... He looked at the two Ishtars and whispered, "Stay here."
Malik unsheathed the Rod's dagger. He walked over to Bakura and raised it to stab his heart.
He was about to swing it down when Set brought a copper jar down on Malik's head. Instantly Malik crumpled to the floor and Ishizu and Shadi ran in.
Isis gasped when she saw Marik on the floor, unconcious. "I heard that from all the way outside! How dare you!"
"You said to do something!"
"Not this!"
"Mmm ..."
Seto and Isis stopped arguing and looked at whoever moaned.
Bakura frowned as he opened his eyes, "What happened!"
He caught sight of Marik slumped on the floor, Rod still in hand, blood streaming from his head. Set rolled his eyes, "He's insane already, a few more knocks on the head won't matter."
Then Isis slapped him and Bakura glared at him and ran over to Marik, "My Marik ... what has this stupid asshole done to you!"
He cradled Marik in his arms, hugging him tightly, "Wake up ... please wake up ..."
Isis and Shadi walked over as well. "He'll be okay ..." Isis whispered. "He has to be ..."
Seconds passed as more blood trickled out of Marik's head wound and he still didn't wake.
Bakura got more and more distressed, "Marik ... PLEASE ... don't ... leave me ..."
Outside, in the throne room Hakim was pacing, "He should be done by now, think ye not?"
He looked to the other guards. One spoke up, grinning, "That little whore must be very good then ..."
"Something's amiss! Don't you see! Now ... let's go over there now! Off yer lazy asses! March!"
Marik stirred in Bakura's arms, "Kura ...?"
Bakura blinked away the tears that had been forming in his eyes, "Marik!"
He hugged his boy tightly. Marik was a bit confused at first then hugged Bakura back, "KURA!
And then they heard it, the pounding at the door.
And the guard's voices ... and Yami stirred.
And Marik and Bakura and Shadi and Isis and Set knew they were screwed.
