Dreams of Innocence

Chapter X: Violet Innocence

            When Malik had gotten back, he had found his sister in the living room, pacing back forth. He blinked, confused. Isis was definitly worried, because not only was she pacing back and forth, but she was twisting a dish towl in her hands.

            "Hey, isis, are you okay?" he asked, concerned. Startled, Isis looked over at him.

            "Hm? Oh, it's nothing."

            "You're going to rip that towel if you keep on twisting and pulling on it like that," he pointed out, half-amused. The woman stared down at the cloth and sweatdropped. Quickly hiding it behind her back, she chuckled.

            "You dropped Anzu off at the game Shop in one peice, right?" Walking over, Malik did a little jump over the back of the couch and landed perfectly on it, crossing his arms.

            "Barely. Marik took control about two blocks before I got there." Isis frowned.

            "I thought you had learned to control him."

            "I did. But he managed to lock me in the soul room for a few moments. Don't worry, the Pharaoh scared him back inside the item." Isis simply hmmed and returned to pacing. For a few minutes, Malik watched, his eyes following his sister back and forth, unitl finally a nerve twitched on his forehead. "What in the name of Ra has gotten you so worried about? I mean, damn, you won't stop pacing or wringing that towel!" Isis hadn't noticed that she continued to twist the towel and had actually managed to tear it in half.

            "It's nothing for you to worry about Malik," was her only answer.

            "Look sis, something has you worried to death and I want to know." Isis raised an eyebrow.

            "And why should I tell you? It's private matters."

            "Because I'm your brother, I have a phsyco killer for a yami, and you're pissing me off with the constant pacing."

            "None of those are good reasons."

            "Not even the killer yami one?"

           "Nope." Malik glared at her, causing her to laugh out loud. "Oh, and don't even think about the puppy-dog face. It will never work," added Isis as she started to walk away.

            "Please Isis?" isis glanced bakc and nearly fell over. Her brother, which would surprise almost everyone in the world, could pull such a powerful puppy dog face that Seto would have no reason to call Katsuya a mutt anymore. Isis twitched.

            {Oh Ra. Not the big, watery, violet eyes...proof that my brother is still somewhat innocent, but so powerfully cute and adorable. As long as he doesn't pull th-oh damn it Ra! He's using the pouting bottom lip!} Sure enough, to mix with the big, innocent violet eyes, Malik's bottom lip was quivering. Any second now, he would have to resort to the worst form of cuteness possible: super-deformation.

            And, thinking quickly, Isis fled the room, cursing the gods leaving a defeated (and still highly annoyed) Malik behind.

            Yami blinked in surprise when Anzu and Yuugi had returned to the main shop room. They were chatting pleasantly.

            "Did something happen?" the spirit questioned. Yuugi shook his head.

            "Nope. Anzu beat me!" Yami's eyes widened.

            "T-that was quick!"

            "Well, her Ameba wiped out my life points."

            "Ameba!?" Anzu sweatdropped as Yami gawked at her. "You must be joking!"

            "Nope. I have two of them," stated Anzu with a grin. Before Yami could respond though, the Game Shop door opened and Otogi poked his head in.

            "Otogi! How are you?" asked Yuugi, smiling brightly. Otogi looked at him and smiled, stepping inside.

            "Hey Yuugi. Uh, listen, I noticed Malik drive by with Anzu and-"

            "I'm still in one piece," kidded Anzu with a small laugh. Otogi stared, before shaking his head. Then, he ntoiced a shocked Yami. The spirit was still in shock, blinking repeatedly. "Is something wrong with him...?" Swaetdropping, Yuugi waved his hand in front of Yami's face.

            "I think he's still shocked at Anzu beating me." Not Otogi was staring in disbelief, blinking rapdily. Anzu sweatdropped.

            "Are you two really that shocked that I beat him?"

            "Yes!" Otogi and Yami said at the same time, causing Yuugi to fall over and twitch.
