Author's Notes: Sorry this and the last chapter were short. The next two chapters will be nice and long. More fun with Isis and Malik! And a little of everybody's point of view in this chapter. This is the point in the story where I changed the ending, as you'll see. I drew some more pictures for this story, but rather than list the URLs here, go to my author profile, click on my homepage, and go to the fanart section. There are a few. Oh, and much to Scale's disgust, I let Storm Elf borrow him and Ankh for his/her movie spoofs of The Mummy and Lord of the Rings. So go look at them! Thanks to Killing Perfection for those chocolate pixie stix! ^_^
Ankh: Oh, and thank you for the pixie stix and the book... I thought I WAS being more assertive! I don't know how much more assertive I can be! Hmm... *goes off to read the book*
Scale: *gets hit over the head with Tetsiguia* Ack! I'll get you for that, you fool! AND you, Indigo! Quit letting other losers borrow us!!
Malik: Heh heh... Indigo doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh... But if you think she does, I can come over there and suck out your spleen to teach you a lesson... Where did that weird guy with the two Items go? I wasn't finished with him yet...
Three-In-One Combo!
"Eeyaugh!" Scale yelled, yanking his arm away as they appeared in Isis's mind. "Don't touch me, you disgusting leech!"
"You wanted to come with me. I have to be in contact with a person to transport them. Don't complain so much," Ankh said calmly. The corridor they stood in had two doors, but luckily nothing on the other end of the hall. Both doors had ornate, elegant designs on them. The one on the right was dominated by an Eye of Horus. They were about to walk past the soul rooms into the unconscious mind when the door on the right opened. A woman who looked a lot like Isis except older, more slanted eyes, and richer clothing stepped out. She had Isis's elegant beauty with the poise of a goddess. Ankh jumped in surprise.
"Quit it, you ninny," Scale hissed.
"I'm... sorry," Ankh said. "I'm used to sensing people before I see them. I didn't feel you before you appeared."
"You are not the only one who can hide your life force and aura, healer," the female spirit said. "I am Isis. I saw that you were coming. Why do you disturb this mind uninvited?"
"He's being the Rod's errand boy," Scale sneered. Isis stared at him, unblinking, for a full two minutes. Scale blinked, looked around, stared back, and finally looked down under her unrelenting gaze. Then she looked back to Ankh.
"Um... I'm here for Seth, the Rod spirit," Ankh said. "He'd very much like to be with his descendent instead of Malik. I was just trying to make your host determined to show him the Egyptian exhibit with the picture of Seth dueling the Pharaoh." He cast his eyes down and inclined his head humbly.
"What's the deal with this freak?" Scale muttered.
Isis stared at him once more. "The judge. You made some substantial donations to the gods. But you always mocked us behind our backs. And still, you have not learned manners. You are quite lucky that the healer was more conscientious and wishes for you to keep your life."
"Who were you anyway, a priestess? A shrine maiden? You think you're so holy? You're all just fakes," Scale said.
Ankh smacked his forehead. "How can you be so dense? This is the GODDESS Isis. Have some respect!"
Scale's eyes widened as Isis stared at him once more. Then she turned to Ankh again. "Why should I allow this to be done to my host?"
"We think if the Rod leaves Malik, his dark side will vanish as well," Ankh said. "I know your mortal would be much happier without that evil possessing her brother."
"Isis considered for a moment. She stared into Ankh's green eyes as if looking into his very soul. "...Very well. But I shall be the one to do it. I will allow no one else into her unconscious mind."
"Oh, of course!" Ankh said. "Thank you."
"You trust her?" Scale hissed in Ankh's ear.
Ankh looked at Scale, surprised. "Of course. She's entirely trustworthy. If you'd ever paid attention at the temples, you'd know that too."
"What a gullible jellyfish," Scale muttered. Isis stared at him once again.
"I think you should leave now," she said to them both. "Our mortals will be awake soon. And I believe Malik has already woken up. Judging by his plans, Shadi may regret sleeping so long. Or he may even become breakfast. So I suggest you go straight back."
"Are you serious?" Ankh asked, paling.
"You didn't see that neurotic meat-maniac. He'd do it," said Scale.
"I guess we'd better go then!" Ankh said.
"I will transport you straight back into the guardian's mind, and convince my mortal that the high priest's cause is worthy," Isis said. Then with a motion of her hands, she put Ankh and Scale back into their own soul rooms.
As soon as Scale arrived back in his soul room, he heard Ankh's door open as the other spirit walked out of his room and began to knock softly on Shadi's door. Scale rolled his eyes at the futile attempt as he took a handful of pure white feathers and dusted off his collection of small gold weights.
Suddenly, there was a noise from somewhere outside Shadi's mind. Remembering Malik, and wishing to have a host with all his body parts intact, he raced out of his soul room and over to Shadi's door, which Ankh was still knocking on.
"Shadi you hamstrung flop, get up before that nutcase bites your ears off. Or worse!" Scale shouted, pushing Ankh out of the way and pounding on the wooden door a few times before opening it and kicking Shadi's bed, making him fall out.
"Ow. What? What do you want, Scale?" Scale said sleepily, blinking at the angry spirit standing over him.
"WAKE UP, YOU GOON!" Scale screamed.
Shadi's eyes snapped open. Malik's narrow purple eyes were just inches from Shadi's, his mouth poised over the older Egyptian's nose.
"Augh!" Shadi yelped, jerking his head away. Scale and Ankh, watching from his mind, echoed his cry. Malik's eyes flashed blue for a second, then returned to their normal violet, but rounder. He closed his mouth, looking confused.
"What... am I doing?" Malik asked, bewildered.
"Nothing, I hope," Shadi said feebly.
"Yeah... no? ...I don't know," the disoriented boy said.
"Do you remember anything?" Shadi asked carefully.
"Mostly just recent stuff. I can't believe I did all that," Malik said quietly, sitting back on his heels and looking down. "And... oh eew, a mouse! I have to go take a shower!" Malik dashed off to the bathroom.
Shadi yawned. /You two have been traveling, I take it? And I assume you did that?/ He re-wrapped his head in his turban.
//Some. I think the Rod spirit helped too.//
\\It was all this idiot. I told him to leave these freaks alone.\\
/Yes, I would think so. Feeling rested, Ankh?/
//Quite.//
Isis came out in a silk robe looking rather surprised. "My brother is up before I am, and taking a shower?" she asked. "Thank you Ankh's spirit for me..." She went into the kitchen.
/You didn't go to brag of your exploits, did you Ankh?/
//No! The Tauk can see into the past as well as the future.//
\\What a complete moron.\\
"There is toast or cereal for breakfast, if you are hungry," Isis said. She gingerly carried the bloody cutting board and propped it against the bathroom door. "Please, come have something to eat." Shadi gave a nod of thanks and followed her. He made himself some toast and spread butter over it. "So where will you stay now that you've decided that it's most advantageous for you to stay in Japan?" she asked.
"I decided no such thing," Shadi said, narrowing his eyes a bit.
"Oh, forgive me," Isis said immediately. "But you must realize that since all of the Items are in this city, it would make the most sense to remain here."
"Hmm... You're right of course, but I really don't like it here," Shadi said. "I would rather go back to Egypt. I can monitor the Items adequately from there, and I will not have to find a new place to stay."
\\You're damn right we're not staying here! Don't even think about it!\\
/Oh no, I wouldn't. I don't even much like visiting. I don't think I could stand living here./
//That's good...//
"If you think so..." said Isis. "The Tauk showed me a vision of you living here with your friend Pegasus, but it is occasionally wrong."
Shadi shivered a bit at the thought of living in this strange country and finished off his toast.
Just then the bathroom door opened and the cutting board fell. Shadi and Isis heard Malik shriek as it landed right on his bare foot.
"Malik! I want that cleaned up NOW!" Isis called. With some resentful muttering, Malik brought it into the kitchen and began to scrub it over the sink.
Isis finished off her glass of grape juice and put the cup next to the sink. "I have to go to work now. Shadi, I wish you luck getting back home. Malik, I know it's futile, but I wish you'd behave for once. I'll be back this afternoon, and I'd better not find any more animals..." She picked up her purse and lunch, and left.
\\Get out of here before this freak cuts you open and eats you!\\
"Thank you for allowing me to stay here," Shadi said, rather nervously. "I... should be going now."
"Oh no." Malik put a hand on Shadi's shoulder, stopping him from moving. "You're not going anywhere. I'll just take those Millennium Items off your hands now."
Endnote: More cliffhangers! Will Malik get Shadi's Items? Will he cut him up and eat him, and use the Ankh as a toothpick? You'll have to see! Two more chapters left so far! Review, please! Sorry about Scale's rudeness!
Scale: That IDIOT!!! She keeps letting other stupid authors borrow us!! Besides The Clow Hatter and Killing Perfection, she's letting some unimaginative loser called Storm Elf use us! And now Killing Perfection's hitting me over the head, and giving that delusional fool Indigo and Ankh the wimp pixie stix and a book! Ha, as if that weakling COULD turn into me! He should be so lucky!!
Ankh: Oh, and thank you for the pixie stix and the book... I thought I WAS being more assertive! I don't know how much more assertive I can be! Hmm... *goes off to read the book*
Scale: *gets hit over the head with Tetsiguia* Ack! I'll get you for that, you fool! AND you, Indigo! Quit letting other losers borrow us!!
