Malik began to walk down the street, leading the other to his apartment complex. "I'm sure your leg will be fine in due time."
Wait... what? Of course his leg was going to get better - what kind of dumb commentary was spilling out of the Egyptians mouth anyway? Great, now that they were getting along, what was he supposed to say?
Arguing is much easier... Malik thought, sighing to himself. Come to think of it now, he didn't even really like Jou...
He did save me...Malik reminded himself. And I am lonely... Another part of his mind chirped. He wanted to convince himself that he liked being lonely, because in company you were required to be kind and think of others and be placed in awkward situations, where there was nothing to say, and end up making a real a** of yourself... which he was sure he was doing at that very moment...
"I'm sure your aware of that though.... the leg thing, I mean. But, I'm curious to know how you've been all this time... are you still dueling?"

Jounouchi was just walking behind Malik quietly, blood still dripping down his leg slowly. This went unnoticed though, as well as the shards of glass that had been left in there. He was more interested in why Malik was acting so nice suddenly. The mood swing idea worked, but that just didn't seem right... Jounouchi sighed quietly to himself, then looked up at Malik started talking, "Oh! Um, yeah, I still duel sometimes." he replied, "Though hardly in tournaments anymore. Now that Yuugi and Kaiba don't duel in them anymore they're just not challenging enough." he said, shrugging his arms up a bit arrogantly, "It's more fun to stay after school and duel Yuugi and Bakura and Otogi."

“That's good. I haven’t dueled in a millennia. And, I'm sure you've improved a lot since the tournament..." Though Malik wasn't sure if he had meant that. He hadn't dueled in a long time, and quite frankly he was a little envious that Jounouchi had so many friends. At this point he was just being as fake as possible to earn the other's trust, and he wasn't so sure if his cheesy kindness was actually going to be an convincing mask of his true depression and resentment.
"We can take the elevator here," Malik said gesturing to the elevator, "So you don't have to put much stress on your leg."
Malik absolutely hated taking the elevator, but for the sake of Jou’s leg, it seemed he had no choice. This particular elevator's interior was wall to wall in dark mirrors. How pleasant, Malik thought, hating this idea more and more as he followed through with it. Not only did mirrors give him the chills, but being in a small dark space was bound to set the Egyptian into a panic attack.
The stubborn Egyptian was too persistent to let it bother him too much, and he led the other into the elevator wearing a very awkward smile.

Jounouchi just shrugged as he entered the elevator, "Dueling really isn't as exciting as it used to be anyway." he said, not paying attention to Malik's comment about taking the elevator. He was about to continue on about how Kaiba Corporation hasn't even been developing new technology and all of that next, but suddenly his short attention span got the better of him, "Oh, wow! This elevator is cool!" he said excitedly, looking at all the mirrors. He laughed, "Our reflections look funky." He then went over to the elevator buttons, acting like an excited little kid, "Hey, what floor is it? I wanna push the button!" he grinned.

"Umm.... okay?" Malik said slightly bewildered at the other's behavior.
He didn't like the mirrors at all, he hated to see his bitter reflection staring back at him. Seeing his own face only reminded him of his father. They had the same deep lavender eyes and it was rather haunting to look at them like this.
"Our stop will be on the 12th floor." He added, leaning against one of the walls crossing his arms and closing his eyes as a method of meditating. "Just try not to piss yourself in all the excitement..." He commented giving a nervous laugh.

"Hey!" Jounouchi said angrilly, "It's a cool elevator!" he argued before turning to the buttons, mumbling, "Jerk..." under his breath as he pressed the "12" button.

Malik let himself open his eyes, and gave a chuckle at the blond's remark. "I didn't say it was a bad thing - did I?"
Why the hell does he get so defensive at everything I say?!
...oh well, it is kind of cute.
...IN A STUPID WAY kind of cute - like a dumb dog whose been dumbfounded by a snake or something. Not in a sexual way. He assured himself giving a sigh of relief.
He could feel the elevator clatter beneath him, and it gave a quick jolt. Malik gasped, taken off guard a bit. Fear was written all over his face and he could see it in his reflection as well. How he hated looking so weak like this! As long as Jou couldn't see it, he figured it'd be okay. Damn elevator.

Jounouchi turned around towards Malik, about to retort a question about how would that not be a bad thing? Or something else so oh-so-Jounouchily-intellingent, when he suddenly froze. He saw Malik's face, looking so full of fear. But why? What could suddenly scare him so much? "H-hey..." Jounouchi reached an unsure hand out towards Malik's shoulder, "Are you okay?" Before he placed his hand on Malik's shoulder, he saw the fear radiating from the other blond... but how could he see something like that...? And there Yami no Malik was again, encompassed in the fear... was he like a parasite that fed off dark emotions? No, that was stupid. Jounouchi decided he would contemplate what he was seeing later and make sure Malik was okay right now, "You look kinda sick..."

"No... I'm fine!" Malik insisted with a low growl, trying to push the other away to no success. His body had grown weak with fear, and it began to quiver uncontrollably beneath him.
He felt so cold, and so lonely all of a sudden. What was this feeling? And he could hear that voice again. This voice in his head was not his own, he knew that without a doubt. Malik let out a terrorizing scream, a cry for help, falling to his knees and grasping his head in such terrible pain.
What was this intense pain that consumed him? It hurt so badly, like nothing he had ever felt before, a feeling worse than death itself. Sadness, anger, despair and all kinds of feelings of hurt cloaked his desolate mind. Besides the laughter and the harsh wailing like darts impaling his brain, he could feel his heart pounding violently against his chest as if it too, was shouting out for help, searching for an escape from this dark void.

"Ma-malik?!" Jounouchi yelled in surprise, at first taking an automatic step back but quickly regaining himself. He kneeled down on the floor next to Malik, "H-hey! Get ahold of yourself!" he said, though more in a frantic shout than anything. He reached out again to put a hand on Malik's shoulder but some kind of dark force repelled him. He quickly flinched back, seeing Yami no Malik standing behind Malik mockingly. Jounouchi growled, "You...!" he said, standing up and punching at the shadow, only to lead to Yami no Malik dissappearing with a cackle and Jounouchi punching a mirror instead. He cursed as it broke, being one of those supersticious people to believe in seven years of bad luck, not to mention now his fist matched his bleeding leg. But now that Yami no Malik was gone, he looked down at Omote no Malik. "Hey... are you okay...?" he asked more quietly this time.

Malik felt his whole body become shrouded in darkness. His body was numb and cold with the pain.
In front of him, he saw a small glow of light peering through the darkness. He didn't know what else to do but try to get closer to the infinitesimal beam. As he walked towards it, it grew brighter and brighter, till the light became a figure. Another human? Who could it be? Malik couldn't see their face. But he knew this person couldn't possibly evil, for his body was emitting a warm glow that caressed Malik's face gently.
"Rishid...?" He spoke weakly. He figured it must be Rishid's form, protecting him, saving him from the darkness.
He reached for the figure and embraced it tightly, letting the warmth wrap around his whole body, easing the cold.
The elevator gave a 'ping' sound, and came to a stop. When the heavy doors opened themselves, the vision was gone and the darkness had shattered.
Was... that another nightmare...? Malik thought still rather frozen in his emotionless state. He soon came to realize he really had embraced somebody, and he was still holding onto the person tightly, burying his face into the other's shoulder. "Rishid...?" He said weakly again. But how could it be Rishid... Rishid was in Egypt, far away from here.
Malik clung to Jounouchi's body confused and helpless. And even though he felt so foolish right now... he couldn't find the strength to let go.

Jounouchi blinked in surprised as Malik embraced him. He looked down at the Egyption confused, but not being cruel enough to push him away. He watched as Malik seemed so afraid and needing of someone... he really must've not been over his other self... even with that seed of darkness no longer existing within him, he was still haunted by the remnants. "Rishid...?" he heard the other say weakly. Jounouchi remained quiet, not sure what to do. He just sat there, letting Malik hold onto him. As the elevator doors opened, he looked out towards the hall, seeing there were people standing there waiting to get on. They looked completely weirded out. Jounouchi sighed quietly, thinking it was best to at least try to get Malik to his apartment instead of just hanging out in the elevator, "Hey, Malik... it's okay..." he said quietly, trying not to sound angry, "The elevator is open... we can go to your room..."

Malik nodded in compliance and followed Jounouchi out of the elevator clinging onto his hand, head hanging down as if the life had been sucked right out of him. He failed to notice the surrounding people, staring at the both of them. And he had still failed to comment on the fact that it was Jounouchi who he was clinging to so tightly. Once he had heard the other's voice, he realized it wasn't Rishid after all, but that realization still wasn't enough to compel him to let go, "Yea.. my room is just to the right of here. It's room number 12..."

Jounouchi nodded quietly in response, heading to room number twelve. "Hey, is it unlocked?" he asked, hoping that were the case so Malik wouldn't need to go digging for keys in his current condition... whatever his current condition was... it was surely strange, and Jounouchi was curious and wanted to start dishing out questions, but he had a feeling he should really just be nice and quiet for once in his life and let Malik hold on to him while he calmed down.

"Huh? Of course, it's not unlocked.. that would be stupid..." Malik said, letting go of the other, now able to find enough strength to argue. "I'm not as blond as I look..." He gave a weak smile as he pulled the keys out of his pocket.
It took him a couple minutes to actually undo the lock though. Malik had managed only enough strength to start rebuilding his confident mask, and not nearly enough to reorient his body. His hands shook violently as he struggled to find the keyhole for seemingly an eternity. When he finally got it open, he used the rest of his energy to actually push it open. To compensate for his body's behavior, he muttered weakly,"It gets stuck sometimes... "
