The Darkest Light
Chapter 10
Exhaustion
Bakura struggled to keep his brother up, Yami was ready to crash. Luckily Marik had offered to help them home, seeing just how exhausted Yami was. "'Kura" Yami moaned out, sounding as if he were in pain "'Kura stop."
"What? What's wrong?"
"I-I think I'm gonna-" Yami was cut off, pushing Marik and Bakura aside to go throw up in a nearby bush.
"Yami!" Bakura put his hand on his brother's back, his eyes widening a bit when he felt Yami trembling. He turned his head to look at Marik "This isn't good. He's trembling."
"You go, tell your mother your brother isn't well. As soon as he's done I'll bring him there."
"You sure you got him?"
"I'll carry him. Yami! Give Bakura your bag."
Bakura helped Yami slip the bag off his shoulders, before running off towards their house, carrying the bag with him.
"How you doin' Yami?" Marik asked once Bakura left, placing his hand on Yami's back and rubbing in circles.
"Ugh, I.. I don't.." Yami trailed off before almost falling face first in the bush he'd just thrown up in.
Marik wrapped an arm around him, catching him before he could fall. "Malik, take my bag."
"Okay" Malik said, a worried expression on his face as he watched his Yamino pick up his best friend. "Marik? Is he going to be okay?"
"He'll be alright. He's exhausted and over worked. Lets just get him home."
Malik nodded and followed along behind him, watching Yami sleep with his head propped up on Marik's shoulder.
"Hm?" Isis hummed, watching through the kitchen window as Bakura ran up on the porch, carrying a bag that she knew was Yami's. Bakura burst through the door, turning and running through the kitchen doorway. "Bakura where is your brother?"
"Marik is carrying him! He's really sick and he's exhausted! Do you have any idea how late he was up because you had him do all the chores?! He was up until three this morning trying to do his homework! He was hardly able to stay awake at school!" Bakura yelled at her, obviously angry for his brother.
"Whoa, slow down. Where is Marik at with your brother? And what happened?"
"They're on their way here! Yami was throwing up in a bush!"
"Stop. Yelling. At. Me" Isis warned, her voice low but stern.
"Well, I told you he couldn't do all that. Marik and I had to help him to his classes after lunch. And at lunch he raged on a girl that wouldn't leave him alone. HE ALMOST PUNCHED HER! If Yugi hadn't of been there he wouldn't of calmed down."
Yami groaned in Marik's arms, moving around uncomfortably. "Marik, put me down, I wanna walk."
"Yami, you're sick. I'm trying to get you home."
"Nooo" the younger whined "Put me down."
"You're such a pain" Marik grumbled, putting the boy down.
"I'm fine" the younger said, stumbling forward as he walked.
Marik rolled his eyes, but kept after the boy anyway. He held out his hands nervously watching Yami walk up the steps to his porch. He followed Yami inside, greeting Isis as he guided the boy to the couch. "Yami?" Isis said softly.
"Mm oh... Mm oh-kay" Yami mumbled sleepily, his eyelids drooping slowly.
"Yami? Hey. Bubba!" Isis patted his cheeks gently, attempting to get his attention. "Yami!"
Yami fell to the side, his exhaustion finally setting in. The other three gave Isis worried glances, she sighed in return, examining Yami over. "He'll be okay. He just needs sleep. I don't know why he got sick though, that's the part that has me baffled. Bakura, got get the little trash bucket, I want something here in case he wakes up sick again."
"You're not sending him to school tomorrow are you?" The albino asked, raising a brow.
"We'll see how he feels in the morning. Right now, its not looking like he'll be going."
"Let us know if you need anything Isis" Marik said.
"Thank you Marik" she said. "For protecting him" she added quietly once Bakura had left the room.
"It is my duty m'Lady" he said with a formal bow of his head.
"I hope he doesn't get too sick" Malik said. "I highly doubt that medicene will help him if he gets too bad."
"It's okay. We've located his Hikari. The Hikari prince" she informed them.
The two boys' eyes widened "Really? Who is it?"
"Yugi. You boys should know him. He and Ryou are Yami and Bakura's Hikaris. None of them know yet though, so don't say anything."
"Well, we have to tell Joey. Joey is the Hikari prince's Guardian. He has to know about it."
"Then be discreet about it. Do not let the others know that you know. And watch out for any danger, make sure no one else is around when you tell him."
"We will. We know to watch out for the Shudagami."
"Good. Thank you. You boys should get home."
"Yes ma'am. Good day to you" Marik said, the two of them bowing their heads before leaving.
Bakura walked back in with the small trash bucket. "I put a bag in it, I figured it'd be easier to remove a bag than to dump a gross bucket."
"Thank you. Now go get your homework done" Isis told him, shooing him away.
"Yes mother" he chuckled.
"Oh! And get me a blanket for your brother."
"I will" he said, running up the stairs. He came back down a minute later, carrying a thick fleece blanket for his brother. "Here ya go Yami" he said softly, spreading the blanket over his brother's unconcious body. "Goodnight bub" he whispered with a smile before jogging off to get his homework done.
'I hope Yami gets better on his own...' Isis thought hopefully, watching her son's sleeping figure.
Me: Uh oh, Yami's in the hole! XD FIRE IN THE HOLE!
Yami: Wha?! No! Bad Nickey!
Me: ... I've decided... I don't care what you think *flicks a match into the hole* Now theres a fire in the hole! Stay warm! Bahahahahaha!
Yami: O.O'
Yugi: Okay... Well, Nickey is trying to set Yami on fire again... Until next time ladies and gents!
Yami: *waves*
Me: BYE!
