Chapter 5
Leaving the Sanctuary
.
..
.
Since the departure of Atem, Anzu had left the comfort of the bed and decided to wander about the bedroom. By exploring on her own accord, she had found the master bathroom, master closet, and an extended room that contained electrical entertainment and Victorian furniture.
The brunette looked at herself in one of the full length mirrors that had been built into the bathroom, checking to see how well she looked in a man's clothes. "Not to shabby if I do say so myself." She twisted her body to get a view of every angle.
It was very odd how well she fit into Atem's clothing, especially since he was a much bigger person than she. Yeah it took some time, and a few adjustments, but now she had the perfect outfit to match her perfect shape.
Adorning her upper torso was a no-sleeve black wife beater, in order for it to fit her bust she had to cut the middle section of the shirt and then find laces to tighten it together. The sapphire eyed woman took a look at her slender leather clothed legs. The pants actually fit to her surprise. She was assuming they were an old pair because all she needed was a belt for the waist. And then there was the causal black army boots that were a good size and a half too big (A pair from his younger years). Adding the final accessories of another belt hanging around her hips, a few bracelets and a black belt choker, Anzu took one last glance and left. Approving what she saw good enough to wander around in.
During those solid twenty minutes, the brunette looked at the large antique clock that hung on the wall. "It's already seven in the morning… Atem has been gone for awhile, I hope he's alright."
She rested her hand on the doorknob, then gently twisted it. 'Whatever is happening right now I don't think I should be apart of… I'll mostly likely get in the way.'
Anzu opened the door and then turned to her right as she walked at a comfortable pace down the dimly lit hallway.
((Scene Change))
"Excuse me mister… Ishtar is it?" A male voice questioned.
A boy with platinum hair looked up, "Yes sir? What is it?"
The man dressed in a white long-coat came over to Malik and smiled, "You can see her now."
He smiled in satisfaction and then stood up from the chair, putting the vile into his jeans pocket, out of the eye of the doctor. "Thank you sir." He then walked past the male and down the white tiled hall, each of his footsteps echoing throughout the hospital floor.
After a few seconds of walking, Malik reached a certain door and read the plate located next to it.
Room 127
Occupant 01: Kokubunji, Minoru (a/n)
--------------------------------------
Occupant 02: Ishtar, Isis
Malik opened the oak furnished door and passed the first patient who was currently talking to a brown-haired nurse. He looked so deathly ill, but Malikignored him and walked to the back of the room that was separated by a blue curtain hanging from the white tiled ceiling.
He looked around the room and found a glass of orange juice placed upon a sliver rolling table. Cautiously walking over to it, he took the vile from his pocket and poured in the blue liquid. It was quickly absorbed by the juice, which retained its natural color even after the medicine was mixed in.
"Brother…?" Came a raspy voice from the bed. It startled Malik who almost dropped the glass vile in his hands, but instead threw it into his pocket.
Malik looked up as his lavender gaze mixed with one of a deep ocean blue, "I know it's very early to be visiting sister, but I don't think I would have been able to come at all for the rest of the day."
The raven-haired adult gave a soft smile, "I thank you for wanting to come at all."
It was the blonde's turn to smile, "There would never be a time when I wouldn't want to see you." He walked over and sat down on the bed, "So how are you? Is everything still okay?"
Isis looked down at the white hospital blanket that covered her, "The doctors keep putting me through all these tests, it's really starting to become a nightmare." Malik's eyes traveled to his hands that were folded together. 'Soon sister. Soon everything will be better, just wait and see.' There was a bleak moment of silence as the nurse who had been with the other patient walked into the room to take some of the dirty clothes that were thrown into the plastic hamper.
"I just wish… That it would all stop. I don't understand why this is happening to me." Isis looked down as her eyes began to water up. Malik took his hand, and wiped away the tears that fell from them. "I promise you Isis, that you'll get better, I promise you…"
When he finished, he turned around to get the orange juice that was sitting on the tray. Only that, it wasn't there. Isis noticed how her brother became tense. "Malik… Is something wrong?"
He looked back at her, "No everything is fine. Um… Can you give me one moment please, I'll be right back." Malik stood up to leave after receiving a small nod.
The man walked out of the section of the room where his sister lay, and past the other patient. However out of the corner of his eye, he saw the nurse take up the same cup of orange juice, that was on the same silver table, in which the medicine that Bakura gave him was poured into. "Ex-excuse me…"
The brunette turned around to face Malik, who brushed a few blonde bangs from his face, "Yes?" She replied innocently. Malik cleared his throat and stepped forward, "Wasn't that for my sister who's in the other room?" He pointed over towards the juice that was now quickly disappearing into the throat of the young man who occupied the bed. Mentally Malik began to scream and beg it wasn't the same cup.
She took a small glance at the drink, which the man placed back onto the table after licking his lips. "I'm sorry sir, but the patients receive there breakfast at the regular time of nine o'clock. This man here was thirsty and asked for some orange juice."
Malik's eyes widened indevastation, his stomach tightened into a hard knot. There was an unknown voice that came from the male patient, "Wow, that drink made me feel much better… Thank you nurse."
She turned her head towards him, as did Malik, and they both let out a startled gasp. "Oh my God Mr. Kokubunji, you look so healthy!" And it was true. His skin was now a thick peachy color and his eyes regained their young and lively guise.
'At first I didn't believe Bakura… But I guess he was telling the truth, that medicine was going to help my sister. But… But now it has all gone to waist to this man! Dammit! It-It's not fair!' He watched with glossy eyes as the man got up out of the bed with a large smile as he stretched his arms. 'I can't believe it. I failed my sister. That was the only way she might have lived.' Malik was about to turn away and return to his sister, but what kept him was the fact that the man was now lying on the ground and thrashing about violently, while the nurse began screaming for help.
((Scene Change))
"I never realized this place was so big."
Anzu's mouth hung open in awe as she stepped into an enormous marble floored room. Placed against the walls were massive stone pillars that arched into the center of the dome like ceiling. The brunette looked up to examine the remarkable painting that was designed on it, it was one of heaven most likely, with all of the angels and clouds.
She took another step into the room and it slowly echoed around her. "This… This must be a ballroom or something, how beautiful." Anzu smiled to herself, as she began walking towards another set of doors on the far end of the room…
"Hmph. What was so important for her survival?" A voice whispered in a dark and mysterious tone. "How could her life, have been worth so many of my own kind?" The man's two hard coffee orbs narrowed dangerously onto the feminine figure who was now closing the door behind her.
Right when the sound of a closed door ricocheted off of the marble, a lone figure appeared out from behind one of the pillars.
"She is the only way I can get Atem and Kaiba to do what I want. After what they did to me… It's only fair I return the favor, heh heh."
Bakura brushed a few thick white bangs from his face, his pale complexion mixed well against the black trench coat he wore. "I must take my time though, if I rush things, nothing will work out in the end. By creeping up slowly it will be such a surprise attack, they'll have no idea."
He turned around to leave with both hands placed tightly into his pants pocket, "Like they say, slow and steady wins the race."
((Scene Change))
"I-I honestly don't know what to say. Never in my history of being a doctor has something like this even been thought of in the least."
Malik was now eavesdropping on the conversation between all of the best doctors that were in the hospital during the present moment. He stood cautiously behind the light blue wall that separated him from the other group of white-coated men and women.
"What exactly happened?" Asked a female voice.
The blonde heard the doctor who was witness to the accident clear his throat and say, "Mr. Kokubunji had died at exactly seven ohthree a.m., he suffered from a massive heart attack, and seizure. But the thing is, according to our reports nothing of the sort could have, in any way, connected to it."
There was another male who interrupted him, "So what you are saying is that both the heart attack and seizure just came up out of no where?"
"Exactly, and looking even further into th…"
As the doctors continued asking questions about this strange occurrence, Malik left the room and walked out the two thick white doors.
'So… That was never going to help Isis. Whatever it was it would have killed her within one minute of when it hit her system. But now she has more of a chance to live.' Malik looked out a passing window. It was still raining just as hard, and the clouds were just as dark. His two lavender eyes watched the multiple droplets of rain glide down the thick glass.
The teen removed his hands from both of his jean pockets as he returned to his sister's room. "What happened Malik? It seemed very bad, is Mr. Kokubunji alright?"
Malik swallowed hard and let out a sigh, "He won't be coming back, let's just put it that way."
By covering her mouth with one hand the gasp that escaped her lips was unheard by Malik. "Oh my." She stated while her two midnight-blue eyes looked down to the white sheets.
Isis's brother turned around and found a towel folded up on one of the chairs, "Can I use this?" he gestured towards the beige fabric. "Of course, I don't want you to get sick. Dry yourself." Doing so Malik bent over to pick up the towel. As he did the back of his white collar shirt lifted and Isis saw a small area of dark blue on Malik's tan skin. "Malik?" she questioned.
He turned around with the towel around his neck, "Yeah?"
"What is that on your back?" Isis asked as her piercing blue eyes stared directly into his lavender ones. "Um… Nothing why?" The blonde replied while trying to use and confused façade to cover his nervousness.
"Let me see."
"But there isn't anything there." It was too late, he lost the battle.
"Malik…" The raven haired woman said sternly.
Frowning, Malik slumped over and drudgingly walked over to his sister, unbuttoning his shirt at the same time.
"Good heavens Malik! What in the world happened to you?" His sister exclaimed as Malik rolled his eyes. "Nothing, I just fell down the stairs." She looked over his entire back, which was one big purplish-blue bruise. "I can't believe that anything isn't broken. There's no way that this was from the stairs, how did you get this? Tell me the truth."
He exhaled gently, "Someone pushed me into a wall."
"Someone who?"
At first there was an awkward minute of silence, then, "Bakura."
Isis was unable to speak, her eyes widened in terror. "What... Why did you have anything to do with that monster? Tell me!" She had held in all the yelling and screaming that she wanted to unleash against her younger brother. 'So he finally decided that enough was enough.' The dark-skinned woman told herself.
"I-I wanted you to get better, so I helped him get this artifact from Seto Kaiba," This caused another gasp to come from the older adult. "and in return for that Bakura was going to give me medicine that would get you better. But… I poured that medicine into the drink that Mr. Kokobunji drank, and it killed him, so I'm assuming that Bakura wasn't going to help me at all, even though he promised."
"You can't ever listen to him! No matter what, he only tells lies!" Isis yelled as Malik turned to her, wide-eyed. "I am getting better Malik, why did you want me to get better any faster?"
The boy looked down at his feet. "Because… When I took the Millennium Rod from Kaiba, I couldn't do it alone. I needed someone to help me, someone who was familiar with the codes and security system."
Malik didn't bother to look at Isis as she bent over with her arms hugging herself tightly. The woman breathed deeply, 'This isn't happening, it can't be. It's all too soon.'
"And when everyone at Kaiba's mansion was preoccupied with the current situation about how the Rod was stolen, my partner did something that caused Kaiba to blow his top." Malik turned his head towards Isis, who was covering her face with both of her hands, "Please don't tell me that you told him it was okay to do that."
An apologetic wave came over Malik's features, "I did… I thought it would be the only way for him to help me."
Isis swallowed hard and then looked back to her brother with glossy eyes. "So you're saying that Atem took Anzu back with him."
"Yes."
She cast her gaze downward, then looked back into two narrow lilac eyes. "Get the doctor, I'm leaving now."
