Next Chapter
CHAPTER TWO- The Voice


...kill......kill her....
I jumped, accidently splattering my t-shirt with hot coffee and managing somehow to inhale it as well. I slammed my mug down and coughed uncontrollably, making Izumi look up from her newspaper in sudden concern.
"Are you okay, Malik-Sama...?"
I nodded, trying desperately to clear my throat of the super caffiennated crap enough to speak. But what would I tell her...? 'Oh, honey, I just heard a voice in my head that said to kill you.' Yeah. That would go over well...
"I...I'm okay....", I managed to get out in a hoarse voice," I just...remembered something important I forgot to do....can you...excuse me...?"
She gave me an odd look, (Basically as if I had sprouted two more heads and were Riverdancing around the room singing nursery rhymes), but nodded anyway and went about reading again. I smiled guiltily, and, feeling rather bad that I had lied to her, stood up and made my way upstairs to my room again; one, to put on a shirt that didn't have a huge coffee stain on it, and two, to figure out why I was hearing homocidal voices, which I figured is better done in seclusion...(Thus why I locked the door behind me.)
My room, which just this morning had been filled with brilliant sunlight, was now dull and eerie looking, the walls alive with the shadows of trees blowing around through the rain-spattered windows. I stepped gingerly over to the bed, my footsteps creaking on the old wooden floor beneath the lavender carpet, my eyes adjusting to the darkness ever so slowly.
As I sank down on the bed, my thoughts as gloomy as the steely sky outside, my entire body twitched, then just went completely numb. I shivered and fell limply on to the sheets. I couldn't move. I stared at the ceiling, which danced with pale, blurry forms of branches, while I tried not to panic. Was I dying? Why couldn't I move? Why didn't it hurt...?
I spoke too soon. A pulsing, blinding pain shot down my spine, then back up, stopping in my right temple. I heard a scream pierce the musty atmosphere, and it took a few seconds to register as my own. The pain spread, making my head feel as if someone had lodged a dagger in my brain. I managed somehow to sit up, burying my face in my shaking hands. It was horrible...I started to feel nauseous...
...you can't hold me back forever...
That voice...the same one from before...it was so familiar...
"Leave me alone..." I moaned, "Get out of my head..."
...kill her...the Pharaoh approaches...I must KILL HER...
The voice rang loud in my ears, too much for my tired brain to handle.
"Shut....up....." I pressed my hands tightly over my ears, the pain worsening with every word...
...I said kill her...kill her...KILL HER!!!!
"NO!!!! SHUT UP!!!!!!"
...you know you need me...kill her and the Pharaoh's power is yours...
It wouldn't stop. It just kept ordering me around, telling me to kill Izumi...why was she such an obstacle...?
...kill her, Marik...you know you want to...do it...do it for me...
"Do it....for you...?"
...yes...for me...the real you...
The real me. That phrase awakened me to what I was really fighting. I slowly raised my head to look at my reflection in the window. And there it was.
...you see...i never really left you...
There on my forehead, glowing brightly as the sun had been before the storm, was the Eye. The telltale sign. Yami Marik was returning...
"GET AWAY!!! GET OUT OF MY BODY!!! HAVEN'T YOU TORMENTED ME ENOUGH???"
His deep, harsh laugh seemed to echo throughout the room.
...Marik...I will never have tortured you enough...not until I gain my rightful place as Pharaoh...
To my horror, my hand moved on it's own, reaching for the drawer in my bedside table. Did he know what I kept in there...?
...of course I know...it's common sense to have a self defense weapon in your room...hehhehheh....
He opened the drawer slowly. I shivered, then flinched as I spotted the gleam of a dagger emerge from it. He raised it to my face, so close I could see my frightened reflection in it, then dropped it in my lap.
...if you don't kill her...I will...
"No.....you can't......."
.....for once you're right.....I can't......yet.....
I felt the feeling rush back into my hand--
....but mark my words, Marik.....I WILL be back....when the Eye of Ra shines for the final time...hahahaha....AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
His voice faded slowly into my subconscious, and the rest of my body regained it's feeling. I collapsed back on to the bed, breathing heavily, and shut my eyes. The pain in my head lessenned quickly to nothing...he wasn't strong enough to fully overtake me yet...

I lay there for over an hour, trying desperately to figure out what he had said...
"When the Eye of Ra shines for the final time..."
I was once again left in the dark. But I would find out just what he meant by it sooner than I had expected...
