DISCLAIMER-I OWN NOTHING!

It could have been days or merely hours since the woman had spoke to him. He was both mentally and emotionally exhausted. His body simply refused to move. 'Dammit!' He thought angrily 'why the hell does this shit ALWAYS happen to me! what!? do i have the words screw me branded somewhere!?' he tried to move again 'Aaarrgghhh!' Just then he heard a door close and soft footsteps walk almost silently up to him. 'Its that girl again'

Ishizu closed the door behind her and she walked as quietly as she could up to his bedside. 'Maybe he will hear me this time... its worth a shot.'

"Hello Pharaoh." she said softly

'Even if he is in a coma they say you should talk to them to let them know they are not alone.'

"How are you feeling?"

Ishizu waited a moment and frowned 'still no response'

"I hope you don't mind, but i took the liberty of calling your friends in domino. I think that they might be able help"she sighed "do you mind?" she asked gesturing with her hand before sitting down in the chair next to his bed

"You know i had a feeling that something like this would happen" she said quietly
turning her face towards him. she spoke as loud as she dared, not wanting to disturb him. "I hate seeing you like this..." hot tears brimmed her deep blue eyes

"forgive me for being so bold but i have what i believe is a strange feeling towards you" she gazed at him with a sad smile on her face.

" I feel... as if you are ..well you know...one of my brothers" she paused before turning away " heh" "silly huh?" sighing again she stood to leave the room

"I will leave you to rest, good night pharaoh" she bowed as she closed the door behind her. Unbeknownst to her, a single tear fell from the young kings eyes.

Her voice was muffled at first, Atem strained to understand her words. It was silent for a second before she spoke again.

"Hou aree youu feeelinngg?"

'Wait! he understood her it sounded long and dragged out but he understood her!' he tried again focusing harder this time.
Another moment passed by before she spoke again

"I hope you don't mind, but i took the liberty of calling your friends in domino. I think that they might be able help."

'He understood her! wait... his friends in domino? then that must mean that he is still in Egypt. Which means that he was with the Ishtars and the woman speaking to him wasnt just any woman it was Ishizu!' he was shocked but also happy that he knew where he was and that he was safe. Unless Marik became possessed again and tried to kill him, then that would totally suck but other than that he had no worries. He smiled inwardly happy that he figured it out. He almost forgot that Ishizu was there, that is until she spoke again.

She sighed, "do you mind?" she asked before sitting next to him.

"You know i had a feeling that something like this would happen" she said quietly...

"I hate seeing you like this" she said with sadness lacing her voice it was soothing to hear her speak even though the conversation was slightly melancholy.

"forgive me for being so bold but i have what i believe is a strange feeling towards you."Atem was confused but happy that Ishizu felt comfortable enough to speak in front of him so informally. It was silent for a moment before she continued

"I feel... as if you are ... well you know...one of my brothers"... "heh" "silly huh?"

Atem smiled yet was shocked that she viewed him as family which wasn't that far off from the truth. she sighed bringing him out of his thoughts again. he heard her get up. but before leaving the room she spoke again.

"I will leave you to rest, good night pharaoh"

Atem was so emotionally exhausted that he didn't even notice that he had let his guard down, as a lone tear slid silently down his face. Before falling into a deep and relaxed sleep.

What do you think?
