My Inner Demons (Malik x Reader x Marik)

I'm Not A Monster

Oki here! Hope you enjoy the chapter, I know hiatus were long, but I had extra time during school, so why not! \(>v<)/

I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or any of its characters, but I own my OC's and my plot,so please don't steal! Enjoy the chapter!

(y/n)'s POV

I woke up this morning thinking about why I had to choose. I didn't want to break their hearts, but they said that they didn't mind, no matter who I chose.

Still, I feel as if they'd still feel pretty bad.

I got ready, and when I looked at the clock... Oh gosh, I'M LATE!!

I transformed into my smaller fox form with my backpack still on me, but I ran, not even bothering to notice that I had read my clock wrong.

I scampered past Marik and Malik, and I yelled an apology. They ran after me, but I kept running, until I got to school. I was so tired, but I transformed back, and triumphantly grinned.

"I made it..!" I squealed, pumping my fist in the air.

"Actually... You're very... early..." Marik panted from behind me.

"Wait, what?" I asked.

"Maybe you read your clock wrong..." Malik explained.

I looked at my phone. It was only 7:23.

"Aww, DANG IT!" I shouted, crossing my arms. "Stupid alarm clock..."

Marik smiled, stood up, and put a hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry, I can relate." He grinned.

I puffed out my cheeks, still upset. I felt so stupid at that time.

"We all have those moments. For example, mine lasted for weeks, when I was still kind of a crazy psychopath who banished people into the Shadow Realm. You taught me that there were more things in life, things that are other than pain and resentment, I guess." Malik sighed, though he was smiling, since he had the courage to change.

I laughed, and rubbed the back of my neck.

"Yeah, I guess we do have our little moments of zero common sense!" I giggled.

"Now that's what I wanted to see." Marik observed.

"What?"

"You've grown so much. remember your first day? You were so shy, and terrified of... everything. You were a nervous wreck, and you were victim to Gardner's crud, but today, you're willing to stand up for yourself- and you refuse to be called inhuman, but at first, you'd tolerate it, though a few tears fell sometimes."

"I remember. I was crying when you stood up to her for me. I still think that it was really brave of you! She was really mean..."

"Oh really?"

I turned around to see Téa standing with five other girls. Each one looked snobbier than the last.

"I'm heartbroken!" Téa sighed melodramatically. "I thought I'd never see my favorite bag of (bleep) ever again!"

I scowled. "What do you want?"

"It's obvious! Get them girls!" she commanded.

The girls ran at me, and my pupils narrowed. I focused, and transformed into a giant fox, as I did once trying to suppress Malik.

They froze, staring at me, as I growled.

I transformed back. "Not so brave now, are you?" I smiled. "I said that I wouldn't put up with this crud anymore, Téa! You always say that I'm not human, but I am! I can crash, and fall down, I feel suffering and sadness as much as anyone! I have had to endure the hardest things of my life, and even now, you say I'm a monster, though I refuse to hurt others without a real reason. I do not enjoy seeing someone with a sad look on their face. I do not smile at other's misery. And I DO NOT bully people, not like you. So stop calling me a monster, you hypocrite!!" I yelled.

She stared at me with a disgusted look on her face. "Seriously?"

"Yes." I said, tears falling. "You have no idea... You-you think that bullying empowers you, but it just shows how insecure you are on the inside."

She shattered at this. "WHAT. DID. YOU. SAY?!!" she shrieked.

"Please. Stop. We're all human here. We all make mistakes, but I'm willing to forgive you for yours, if you just stop... If you'd just listen..." I squeaked.

She snarled, and left, growling at me.

I sighed, and turned to Marik and Malik. Malik was sitting on the pavement, frightened.

I had forgotten that he was afraid of large foxes.

"Sorry you had to see that..." I murmured.

"It's alright." Malik sighed, getting to his feet. "Though, you're not as scary now..."

"Heh heh, yeah!" I grinned. "Still, I'm glad you guys didn't run screaming."

"Yeah, don't worry about it!" Malik and Marik agreed.

I smiled, looking up at the sky, but I was caught off guard from a surprise attack from everyone- Bakura, Ryou, Seto, Joey, Yami, Yugi, alongside Marik and Malik. The hugged me, and congratulated me for beating Téa the Tyrant for the second time now.

"Yo, (y/n), how'd you do dat trick wit' da giant fox an' ev'rythin'?" Joey asked.

"Yeah, how?" Yugi asked.

I smiled. "You know... I could've used that form at any time to chase Téa away... but I didn't. I refused to hurt her, even if she is mean and kinda scary at times... I could always do it, and at first, when the policemen tried to comfort me, and help me, I was so scared that I transformed. But they weren't scared. I eventually stopped being so afraid, and then, I soon made friends with Miki and Daisy." I explained. "I used to use that form a lot... but not anymore. After I was rescued from that lab, I swore that I would never use these hands to hurt others- I would only use them to protect others. I still get a little miffed, but it's only natural. We're only human, after all."

Everyone smiled, and we went off to class, with Marik, Malik, Yugi, and Ryou by my side.

I'm glad... I'm glad that I know for a fact that I am not a monster. I thought.

How's the chapter? I sure hope you enjoyed it! And feel free to leave a comment!
