PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!
What happened earlier
The mist started to fade away. But when it had cleared up, the two were no longer in the bathroom. They weren't even on school anymore. They were in Egypt, and before them lay the Millennium Rod.
Back to the story
Bakura looked down and blinked. "Where in Ra's name is my Ring?"
Marik sniggered. "It's where you've left it, idiot."
Immediately Bakura understood. "I left it by my hikari, right?"
Marik smirked, confirming Bakura. "Technically, Tomb Robber, you still haven't lost your Ring due to your connection with your hikari."
Bakura nodded, understanding what the blond said. "Well hurry up, Ishtaru," he demanded. "Unseal the Rod."
"Keep your pants on, Tomb Robber," Marik sneered back. "Without me, you'll never be able to get the Rod." The Eye on his forehead began to glow dangerously.
Bakura snorted and rolled his eyes. "Whatever, just hurry up."
Marik shot Bakura one last dirty look. "You're playing with fire, Tomb Robber…"
He turned back and focused his attention on the Millennium Rod laying there before them. 'Let's get this over with…'
Back in Domino City
Isis was just sitting on the couch, reading one of her brother's favourite books, when all of a sudden her Millennium Necklace started to glow. She blinked for a moment. 'What in Ra's name…?' In a flash the Necklace brought her back to the past.
FLASHBACK
I bet that Malik and Marik are gonna be together in two months," said Bakura
Yami's jaw dropped. "SAY WHAT!"
Bakura rolled his eyes. "I said, you dimwit," he repeated, "'I bet that Malik and Marik are gonna be together in two months.' Now, scared that I will beat you?"
"No Thief, I shall beat you and save the world once again." Yami said, while posing like a geek.
"So," Bakura asked, "are you in?"
"Yes. I bet they'll never get together not even in the afterlife."
"Okay," Bakura said, a smirk plastered on his face, "but if you loose you'll have to give your Millennium Puzzle to me."
"And if I win?"
"You'll get my Millennium Ring," was Bakura's reply.
"Deal!"
END FLASHBACK
Isis stared off into space in shock. So that's what's been happening all the time! What on earth had the Pharaoh been thinking? Betting over his Puzzle with the King Thief? Betting over HER brother nonetheless! The pharaoh was playing with fire!
If the Puzzle would get in Bakura's hands, the world would be doomed forever. The Thief would definitely destroy the Pharaoh's spirit inside the Puzzle and then there would be no one anymore to fight evil on earth. Oh Ra, why was the Pharaoh such an idiot?
Isis paced around in her room thinking, how she could save the Pharaoh. What to do, what to do?
What if the pharaoh would lose? The world would be at the mercy of the Thief! And if the pharaoh would win? Then her brother would be in even more danger than he already was now. Not only would Marik want to kill him for rejecting him, (Yes Isis now knew, that Marik wasn't plotting on killing the pharaoh.) Bakura would also want to maul him for losing the bet.
She thought and thought, but nothing came to her mind. 'What am I going to do. Either the Pharaoh will die and the world with him or my brother…'
Isis froze right there, when a thought struck her. Either way, her own little brother would still end up dead. Whether killed by Bakura or Marik or because the world was going to be doomed.
She bit her lip and shut her eyes tight. 'No,' she thought. 'Not again… I can't handle another time.' Why did her brother always have to end up caught between both fires? Why did her brother always have to suffer? He was innocent, how could the Gods punish him like that? A single tear slipped out of her eye and slowly trickled down her face. Her Necklace started to glow again.
FLASHBACK
In the darkness of the Shadow Realm Bakura stood in his spirit-form chanting a spell in Ancient Egyptian.
"Beautiful Isis
Goddess of fertility and motherhood
I ask for thy powers
To create new flesh and blood
Be my mother
Create my body
Like every other
Isis, beautiful Isis
Please, fulfil my wish."
When he was done, he chanted another spell, also in the language of the ancients.
"Almighty Seth, almighty Seth
Send me back to where I belong."
While doing so, slowly a strange form appeared and the spirit, Bakura, merged with the form. Still chanting the last spell, the form developed into a human body and the body grew long hair. It started to glow and then Bakura had created his new body. At the same moment he stopped chanting.
"I see you've got your body now."
The mist started to fade away.
END FLASHBACK
Isis opened her eyes. That's it! She would let the King Thief win this bet and at the same time save the Pharaoh from his own idiocy! Then her own brother would also be saved! The pharaoh wasn't the only one playing with fire. She was playing along with him by helping him.
Making her decision Isis stood up and left the hotel, on her way to the Pharaoh. 'Don't worry Malik,' she thought. 'I may have been a bad sister for you, but I'll still protect you. Mother would have wanted it that way.' Isis smiled, thinking back about her mother and wiped away the tears from her face.
Back to the two evil psycho's
Marik's eye began to glow, together with the Millennium Rod, as he chanted his spell that would break the seal. The last words came out of his mouth and then a flash blinded both him and Bakura. A few minutes later his vision slowly came back.
He laid his hand on the millennium Rod and smirked. How long had it been last time he touched it. He had missed his precious Rod.
Bakura took his arm out and opened his hand palm. "Hand over the Rod, Ishtaru."
Marik chuckled. "Bakura, I'm not an idiot."
Bakura narrowed his eyes. "You're backing out of our deal?"
"The deal was…" Marik stopped for a while, making sure the Thief heard every single words. "The deal was, that I would get the boy and you would get my Rod."
"So…?"
Marik rolled his eyes. "So, once my hikari is back where he belongs, you won't get anything."
Bakura sneered. "I'm not the only one playing with fire, Ishtaru."
Marik sniggered. "I like fire, it reminds me of Ra. But I suggest you to get back to work." He waved a little teasingly with the Rod.
Bakura rolled his eyes. "Fine, it will be a piece of cake." He started walking away, but was stopped by Marik.
"Do you want to be called Tomb Robber forever?" Marik asked, lifting an eyebrow.
Bakura smirked, turning his head back to face Marik. "Call me Bakura Ryou, Ishtaru."
To Yami and Yugi
"Yugi!" his grandfather called. "A lady is here to see you!"
"Coming!" Yugi called back. He ran down the stairs to the front door.
"Hello Yugi," Isis said smiling.
"Hi Isis, come upstairs to my bedroom."
Isis and Yugi walked back up to Yugi's bedroom and Isis sat down on Yugi's bed. Once she sat down Yugi gave Isis a worried look. "Did something bad happen?"
Isis looked at Yugi, a frown on her face, instead of that smile, as she glared at him, making Yugi take a step back out of fear. "May I speak to the Pharaoh?"
Yugi nodded immediately, he didn't want to piss off Isis right now. "Eh, sure… YU-GI-OH!" The Puzzle started to glow and the hair and eyes changed a bit as the body grew. Yami had taken over.
"Isis…"
Isis stood up and glared at the Pharaoh, something that she had never dreamed of doing before. It was scary to say the least and Yami took a few steps back, scared that his head would be taken off. "Pharaoh. My family had served you for centuries and this is how you repay us?"
"I-Isis…" Yami stuttered, sweat forming in his neck. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"You know damn well what I'm talking about."
Yami gulped, this was serious. Isis would never ever say the word 'damn'. And she would never ever glare at him. Something was seriously wrong.
"Whatever I did to you Isis… I'm sorry, okay?" he tried.
Isis sighed, the glare on her face gone. She looked tired, Yami noticed. She threw Yami a glance. "I can't stay angry, it would be a waste of my energy. What you did pharaoh cannot be reversed anymore."
Yami lifted an eyebrow, but then it clicked. "You know about that bet, right Isis?"
Isis nodded. "Yes, and I'm here to save my brother."
