Aisha: Hi-ho everybody. I’m updating early, because I have
lots of spare time at the moment. I’m staying home from school today because
I’m sick… I don’t know what it is, but I keep on coughing, and it’s driving me
up the wall! Let this serve as a warning as well, because if this chapter turns
out to be crap, you’ll know why. Ra, my hands are shaking! Maybe it’s time I
took some medicine? Or maybe I should lay off the Cola, but hey I’m sick and
they say to drink a lot of fluids (I can hear Kate Tully now, “BAKA!!!! WHEN
THEY SAY FLUIDS THEY MEAN WATER!!!”) I’ll take something once I’m done typing,
and if I stay home tomorrow too, I might just type the next chapter as well.
Other then that I’d just like to thank you all for reviewing. I’ve got 52
reviews!!!!!!!!!!! That’s a major for me, I’ve never had so many before!

 

 

Responses:

 

Katsumi Guerin: *Huggles* You so sweet!!!!!! Not to
mention you were the first person to review that chapter! ^___^

 

Hana no Ceres: Yeah, it seems that I’ve altered
everyone’s personality. I’ve slashed them up soooo terribly, but all the
reviewers think this is great. I guess if people like it then I’ll continue.

 

FluffCat: ^___^
I’m glad you approve of my version of Ishtar, but he isn’t all sunshine
and daisies. With a head like his, he’s probably been to the psychiatrist a few
times. Think medication. I’m working really hard on the plot, and I think it’s
coming along pretty well. The way all of these chapters have been coming out,
is that I have something planned, but not all of it happens, and so I end up
having one event take two or three chapter, so yeah I think this is gonna be a
long story (Everything that has happened so far was supposed to happen in the
first two chapters.) ^_^; I don’t mind that you didn’t review before, as long
as you reviewed now….. Your name sounds familiar, I think I’ve read one of your
stories. I’ll have to go back and check.

 

Shenya: I would have guessed that you hadn’t slept at
all. ^_^; I’m glad you like Malik and
Ishtar, now it’st ast all a matter of keeping them in character while getting
my plot through. This is gonna be tough, but interesting.

 

u don’t wanna noe: ^_^ YAY, you liked it! I think
Yugi is gonna meet Yami sometime within the next three chapters. I can’t be
sure just yet, I still have to see how much I get down today. Soon though,
it’ll happen soon.

 

Genkisaru: The sad part about that schedule that you
told me is that that’s exactly what I do, except I take German instead of
Spanish. I tell ya, German is the language of EVIL!!! *grumble* I hate that
class… That’s probably why it’s the ‘plotting world domination’ class. ^_^;
Sorry that I confused you, and for fair warning POV changes like that are going
to happen quite a bit.

 

Twilight Dreams: Don’t worry, I would never think
you’re an idiot. ^.^ I’m glad you found
Ishtar funny, a lot of people did as well. Don’t know why, but the ‘Shiny’ joke
seems to be a huge clincher, everybody thinks it’s funny. *Shrug* It’s sad
whenever I try to be funny it doesn’t work, but when I sit down and try to
portray a madman (with two-bit jokes, and stupid things that I’ve actually
said) people roll on the floor in hysterics. I’m just glad you like it!

 

Yamis Girlfriend: You love it?? *Falls over in shock*
I still get a tingly high whenever some one says that! *Still on the floor*
I’ll just type the chapter form here then, shall I?

 

Random Rockstar: THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!
You, my friend, ROCK THE CASBA!!!!!!!!! There need to be more reviewers like
you out there, not that I’m complaining, I haven’t gotten a single flame (to my
infinite surprise) yet. You’re a true sweetheart, and I hope you know that! ^_^

 

Rosz
of the Angel: o.0;;; I didn’t get you trouble did I??? I
wouldn’t want that to happen. Hope you’re okie. Thanks I’m glad you liked last
chapter, it was fun to write.

 

firedraygon97: There will be S/J eventually, but
not for a while yet. You liked Ishtar and Malik, eh? I daresay that there’s
going to be a lot more of them then I originally intended (‘specially since
they weren’tginaginally going to be in this fic. ^_^;;)

 

Yami
Bakura Kia: Ooo,
new stuff? Fun, fun! Yay You like Ishtar and Malik too! I would love it if you
put a link to me on your page! ^_^ (I think the fever is getting to me. That
all sounded very…… odd.)

 

Kate
Tully: Mallory-Sama?
Ore-Sama strikes again!!!!! *Smirk* You know you can’t resist the ultimate
power of the Ryou Chibi Eyes, but at least you can admit that! Damn, Ore-Sama
cannot look away from kawaiibi ibi Kitten Eyes. No fair!!! Ore-Sama can’t
loose!!!

 

 

Disclaimer: *Smirk* Give it a week.

Chapter6: What Is
Going On Here?

 

 

(*Ryou’s POV*)

 

 

“Bakura, we need to talk,” That wasn’t my voice, and
Bakura definitely wasn’t talking to himself.

 

I started feeling dizzy all of a sudden, and a familiar fear
pricked at the back of my mind. With a flash of light (will these stupid
flashes never end?) I found myself looking out of Bakura’s eyes, but not able
to control his body.

 

In front of me… or rather us, stood a teenage boy. He had
tanned skin; sun bleached blond hair that stood out in practically evediredirection, extremely….. expressive (o.0) eyes, and he was wearing a pair of
cargo khaki’s, a black sleeveless shirt, and lots of highly polished gold
jewelry. But the thing that I noticed most about him was his aura; it was
tinged with insanity and had the feel of one that was touched by an ethereal
being… a dark ethereal being. The situation was getting worse, I was trapped in
a mortal’s body, and I did not want to find out if this kid was
possessed by a demon.

 

/Run, Bakura!/ I thought desperately.

 

//Damn, you had been so quiet, I’d thought that you’d
actually left.//

 

I growled to myself, this was one stubborn mortal. If that
kid turned out to have a demon in him, and it sensed me I would have no way to
attack if I were stuck in Bakura’s head.

 

“You skipped half of school today, your counselor’s gonna be
pissed,” Bakura smirked at the boy who was obviously his friend.

 

“Yeah, yeah, that’s great. But listen to me! I was walking
in the park and then this thing fell out of sky, and it was cute and shiny, and
I tried to take it home with me, but something weird happened and now it’s in
my head!” This was all said in one breath, and spoken almost faster then I
could hear.

 

“You were casing squirrels in the park again, weren’t you?
I’m gonna have to talk to your doctor, they really shouldn’t change your
medicine so often, it’s frying your brain,” Bakura had his arms crossed and was
shaking his head. That was when I felt the silent probe, gently pushing against
my mental barriers almost as if it were try to identify me rather than force
itself into my mind. It swirled around me, and then retreated. Boy, was I
confused. That was definitely a demon, but why was it so cautious and gentle?
Why didn’t it attack me?

 

“I was not chasing squirrels! I’m telling you there’s
something in my head!”

 

//There’s something in my head too, but what do you want me
to do about it Ishtar?//

 

/He’s not asking for help, just confirmation that he’s
not crazy./ I replied to the thought that had not been directed at me.

 

//You don’t know him at all. Ishtar prides himself on the
fact that he’s insane.//

 

Bakura rolled his eyes at Ishtar, “There are already a
million problems in your head, what’s one more?”

 

There was a bright light emitted from a rod in Ishtar’s
belt, which I had failed to notice earlier. The light was quickly replaced by a
rather indignant looking being. He looked almost exactly like Ishtar, but
shorter, with large purple wings ruffled in annoyance. It was definitely a
demon, I could tell by the look in his eyes, but at the moment he looked more
like a pissed off canary then a creature of mass destruction. “I am not
a psychological problem!” He growled at Bakura, eyes narrowed in offence.

 

If it were possible for me to die laughing I think I would
have, because right after the demon was done talking Ishtar had grabbed him
around the middle from behind, and had nuzzled his nose into the demon’s hair.
“Mine,” I heard him whisper possessively and saw his grip tighten.

 

“Let go of me you fruit cake!” And to the infinite surprise
of everyone, Ishtar complied. He must not have been expecting it, because it
took the demon a fecondconds to regain compcomposure. He looked directly at
Bakura, and I have a feeling it was really me he was trying to look at. My
thoughts were soon confirmed. “Why don’t you come on out, Ryou. I won’t hurt
you. I haven’t yet, have I?” He had his head tilted to the side slightly, and a
smirk was playing around his lips. Even if I could come out, I wouldn’t have. I
could tell that he was a very powerful being, and well, powerful as I was…… I
was still in training. My obvious refusal to show myself seemed to upset him,
and frowning he started chanting some sort on dark spell. “There, that’s
better,” he smiled.

 

Blinking I looked around and realized that I was now
standing slightly in front of Bakura. Fear flooding my senses now, I quickly
took on a battle stance hissing slightly in challenge. So what if he was
stronger than me, it was natural instinct to fight anything that posed
as a threat to me. “Who are you, and what do you want with me?” I asked, trying
my best to look intimidating.

 

“Aw, the little angel wants to fight, isn’t that
cute?” He was mocking me, but I got the feeling that he was just talking to buy
himself time.

 

I was getting frustrated, too many things were happening,
and I was beginning to feel likeagedaged animal. “What do you- Ishtar
stop petting my hair!!” I let down my stance and looked up at the crazed
mortal, who smiled demonically at me.

 

“You remind me of a kitten,” he purred. In the background
somewhere I could hear Bakura and the demon laughing hysterically at me. “Your
hair is pretty…. And shiny.”l thl that shut them up, the demon looked pretty
irked.

 

“Hey, hands off!” Bakura growled, slapping Ishtar’s hand
away from my hair.

 

‘….. Am I imagining things or is this mortal, protecting me?’

 

A few awkward moments passed, in which Ishtar looked very
put out by the turn of events. “Ryou, my name is Malik, and I’m here to talk to
you,” the demon was the first to speak, finally answering my questions.

 

I hisses slightly again, taking up a defensive stance by
curling my wings out in front of me. “Well I don’t want to talk!”

 

“Stop being such a child,” he said calmly, “this is
important.”

 

“The last time a demon had something important to say to
angel it ended up being ‘Oops sorry! Didn’t mean to lodge that dagger in your
back.’ I won’t fall for it!”

 

“For once your wrong. You’ll hear what I have to say sooner
or later, because it’s important that you know it!”

 

“Doubt it,” and just to add to the childish effect I stuck
out my tongue.

 

“Really? But don’t you want to know why your protection
spell didn’t work?”

 

“No I- How’d you know about that?” I was so surprised that I
dropped my stance and retracted my wings. Big mistake! At that moment he threw
a blast of dark energy at me, effectively knocking me unconscious.

Aisha: Poor Ryou. Don’t worry he’ll be ok. Read and Review
please!
