Disclaimer:I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! But I do own the plot and the OCs that are presented so far...

A/N: Hey readers! awesome reviews I got there a long time ago huh. I never really had an appropriate "Thank you" to everyone that supported or at least read and reviewed this chapter story of mine, I really do appreciate and gladly accepted it.

So as to not have anymore long waits, here we go.

Chapter 21: Plans and Sacrifices?

"What?! What do you mean missing?" Isis asked as they speed walk down the hall towards the planning room.

"Missing as in we don't know where the hell they are."

"Did you even search? I mean, they could have bought something outside the palace for a bit." she stated, but already knowing what was going to be said.

"They always come to us if they wanted to go outside." Seth countered.

"But-"

Bakura abruptly stop and turned around "You!" He harshly pointed at Isis.

"You should have seen this! where's that necklace of yours? Huh?!" He exclaimed as he stepped in front of Isis. But before he could even speak another word Seth cut in,

"Stop this non-sense at once, both of you. Do you want them found or not?" which made both people who's arguing look away, ashamed of their actions.

"Come on!" Malik said, He was now in between the dual doors of the Planning Chamber, and so they entered.

The chamber was full of guards so they had to tell them that they're going to use it for the time being and that they would call for those guards if anything was to happen or there's a mission at hand that they are to do.

Then the guards who once occupied the room left.

The chamber consist of maps of Egypt on the walls, boxes of other maps and shelves full of scrolls that were probably old journals of the generals who died in battle or a mission. Then at the very center of the room was a large stone table, then wooden chairs around it.

That's where everyone sat, as far away from each other as possible.

They thought that it was the best to sit far away from each other because they might start a chaos if they were in a distance where you can easily strangle someone.

They sat there for quite sometime, not really sure of what to say that would not lead into another bickering. Few hours have been wasted until SOMEONE finally speak up.

"I have a question." Mahado started.

Seth motioned him to continue, Isis and the others grunt or hummed in response to signal that they were listening.

"I don't really like to say this, and I know that everyone really cares about him, but don't you think Yugi is behind all of this?"

Nobody spoke and silence ate them again because they were double thinking. Though Malik and Bakura doubt that it was their "son's" fault, because he was too innocent to just do that to people he barely knew the backstory...Unless of course, if the curse messed up their boy's mind then they're in one heck of a problem.

While they're still in deep thought, Malik decided to speak.

"Can I ask you guys something?"

"What?!" Bakura exclaimed, irritated.

"Who's missing again?"

"What the hell Malik!"Bakura was now in rage, and almost smashed all the chairs on the table.

"You came here, sat down, didn't speak when silence fell upon us, we were deep in thought of what Mahado just said and you still have no idea of who were the people missing? I can't believe I lived with you for years!"

"The heck was that supposed to mean?" Malik asked, mocking a hurt look at Bakura. He planned to lighten up the mood, thought they would laugh at his utmost stupidity but he guessed he picked up the wrong time.

"We should send a search party." Mahado suddenly said. He was about to leave them all alone when Seth stopped him. He told them that he had a better idea than just plainly call for search parties.

He and Isis had been discussing this the moment Mahado broke the silence between them. Isis explained that they should leave it for one more day as it might lead them to the person who poisoned the Pharaohs. Mean while, they needed to start new plans, attack and defense for any possible circumstances there may be.

Of course that sent Bakura into another set of his rage, but had calmed down the minute Isis glared at him.

"We all want our lovers back, Bakura, but we also need to set a couple of sacrifices."

"Yeah, sacrifice your face, you bloody Priest." Bakura spat, not really including the insult to Malik since it doesn't really apply to them both. (A/N: sorry, that was a bit harsh but we need it.)

Isis said that she'll inform the other High Priest about this news and they agreed, then she left.

Bakura and Seth were still arguing about something when Mahado whispered to Malik.

"Do you agree with this plan?" he asked after a few minutes.

"I'm okay with it. My Marik is stronger than you think." Malik replied with a smirk.

Mahado did the same, though in a mocking motion then asked "Oh? How so?"

Which made Malik smile sheepishly before saying " Oh umm, well...Hehe.. I might have touched a sensitive spot and he kind of beats me into a pulp about that.." he made an annoyed face, "Lucky me, I barely survived." and made a fist which Mahado sweatdrop at.

When the argument between Seth and Bakura was over, silence ate them once again which also makes me wonder why silence is so hungry right now. Though they were spit out when someone spoke up, making it a bad taste for silence. (A/N: I have no idea what I just said.)

"Now, the plan for Marik, Ryou, Jou and Yugi." Seth began.

"W-What plan?"

They were shocked.

"Anzu?!"

Aaaand done! that was not what I originally thought it would be, you know, writing this late again. I am sorry for making you readers wait, but my schedule is playing with me again and I have to adjust to them before I could actually do this again. Or at least make a simple routine out of my small free time.

A lot has really happened but I am really happy you guys like my story and send some kind of unknown support to me, and I'm really really glad for that. I'm just deeply sorry for too many delays, with all the real world and stuff. But anyways I hope you enjoy this story until the end!

Reviews Are Very Gladly Accepted. XD
