Disclaimer: For the second time today, Yugioh isn't mine
Author's Note: I like Yaoi, and I like SetoxRyou. So this will be yaoi & SetoxRyou I don't know why I'm starting a new story, 'cause I have a bunch of other stuff to do but I Can't Help It! It's so nice to think of those two together.

"I'm going to die." He knew clearly. "After all these years I survived, I'm going to die here, in the back end of an alley. I'm supposed to be on a vacation right now, so Mokuba won't worry about me until at least a week after. The police will find my body, rotten and half torn by rats."
He should have been on vacation right now, Mokuba made him go. But worried about the company, he snuck back into Domino, only to meet several assassins. Now they're dead, he'll join them soon.
Kaiba stared at the sky, feeling his strength sapped out of him as the rain washed away his blood. "I'm sorry little brother, now you'll have to suffer the life I tried so hard to protect you from, my life."
Too tired even to think, the CEO of one of the largest corporations in the world lays motionless in a corner of Domino City: paralyzed, waiting for his demise, hoping to make a deal with the devil so that he could come back to life.
Ryou strolled along the street in the rain, feeling content despite of the weather. It's been five years since he sealed his Yami into the Puzzle, a lot has changed since then.
Sometimes he still can't believe he got rid of his Yami. He had taken the abuse for years, but when Yami Bakura started threatening him with his father's life, the light turned dark.
It was his body after all, and getting rid of Yami Bakura was not nearly as hard as he had imagined. Now his former Yami is sealed away in a card, his soul trapped in the Shadow Realm. Ryou's been there, it's not all that unpleasant.
Yugi Moto's still the King of Games, Ryou allowed himself a smirk. King of Games, as if. He felt justified in the comment. Yugi still has only one Millennium Item, while Ryou had come into possession of the Ring, the Rod and the Scale over the past five years. He didn't need a duel to defeat Yami anymore, he had enough power to destroy Yami without having to defeat him first.
He treaded the paths he had followed so many times during high school, when he dreaded the terror that awaited him at his old house. Now that terror is sitting in his pocket, and his house is in the process of being demolished.
That's why he flew back today, to try and catch the old times, before they're all gone.
He squeezed himself between a crack, noting the places where he had been robbed, beaten up, and once raped. These people, of course, are no more, and it's with a sense of nostalgia that he now recalls these past miseries.
Suddenly, he tensed up, sniffing the air. He smelt blood, and the approach of Anubis (the Egyptian god of death), the latter of which he is quite familiar with.
Ryou now works as a free-lance mercenary, a hunter of the supernatural, putting creatures back into the worlds they belong. He had seen death numerous times, faced it a couple himself, but he can't just let a life waste a way into thin air. He quickened his pace.
He saw a blotch of white on the dirt road, now muddy with the rain. He approached it warily, flipping the figure over to check for heartbeat and pulse. The body suddenly opened its eyes, and with an effort, grabbed his arm. "I want to live, whatever you want," it croaked.
Ryou smiled again, it was a habit from childhood he couldn't get rid of. It's so hard to find anybody with a will nowadays, this body is definitely worth saving.
"Sorry Anubis, but you'll have to find yourself another soul to devour," he said to what seemed to be thin air. The air bent slightly, signaling the departure of the god of death.
Ryou stood up, snapping his fingers. Two Vorse Raiders jumped out of his deck, picking up the body. This is another perk of magic, he can now summon monsters into the real world.
