"As I gazed into your eyes something inside me forever changed ... You laid there by my side and gave me a smile that tore down the walls surrounding my heart. I found what I'd been looking for all along ... That magic feeling I could never have before I felt you there ... beside me ... taking my hand in yours ... When the tears faded away and I came to my senses you gave me a promise I'd been dying to hear since the moment we met ... You told me that we'll always be together ... Time and space ceased to be ... Our threads of fate became one ... All the pain, doubt, and fear in the world would not keep us apart ... Not anymore ... If I'd have died right then and there in your arms, it wouldn't matter ... It still would have been the happiest moment of my life ... Death is only death ... and you ... are so much more ... But then if something happened ... The dream ended ... I was forced to open my eyes only to realize ... That I had lost you once again ... I had returned back to reality along with the sad shards of my broken heart. The torment of nothingness inside me caused grief unlike any other ... And still ... I wouldn't trade that one moment of true happiness ... For anything ... Even if it was just a dream ... Though a pleasant illusion, the time we shared together felt real enough to me ... And that is why I love the nightly darkness so ... For I can't wait to close my eyes ... Fall asleep once more ... and find you there again ..." - Angivel
He had recited it many many times before yet it never seemed to help the aching pain in his chest. His once big and loving heart now dried up of any love and happiness. Its beat is that of a dying kitten. He had hoped he would've stayed with him but found that it would not be when he found him making love with another. The evil ones that was always and will forever be after him. The evil ones that hated him with a passion ... And now they have the only one he'd ever love again. His name was Ryou. He was found in a dark alley way by Yuugi and Malik broken and bloodied from the attack that his once lover had caused upon him. Now his heart is broken and will forever hurt until he can heal his emotional wounds.
Yuugi and Malik. They were supposed to be rival enemies but have defied all odds of that ever happening. You see for a while Malik hated the Pharaoh, who now had his own body and lived just a few blocks away from everyone; for reasons that everyone, including Jonouchi, Anzu and Honda now know about. Even Seto Kaiba knows! Not that he cared because he didn't. Kaiba doesn't really care about hardly anything except power and his brother Mokuba. Some call that tough love but who knows really. Kaiba might be a softy under all that hard and touch exterior that he displays but that is really besides the point here. It was in the early afternoon and the sun had just reached it's peak in the sky and shone brightly over Domino City. Summer was only just starting and that means that all the residents were making plans on heading to a beach or going on a dip in the pool. Malik had came over to the Kame Game Shop and asked Yuugi if he would like to go on a walk to the park in which Yuugi had gladly agreed.
"Grandpa I'm heading out! I'm going to the park with Malik. We'll be back later! Please don't stay up waiting for us!"
Sugoroku Mutou, upon hearing the young teen, had come down the stairs and into the shop to bid farewell to the two friends.
"Alright Yuugi, Professor Hopkins and myself will be going on an excavation in Egypt tomorrow. I trust that everything will be taken care of, am I right?"
Yuugi turned to his grandfather and flashed his signature smile all the while nodding his head.
"Of course! You can entrust us." Malik had then come to stand beside Yuugi and put his arms around the smaller teens shoulders. "You sure can! If he needs help he can always call me and the rest of the gang to help!"
Sugoroku smiled and then waved the two teens out of the shop. He was glad that Yuugi had made another friend to add to his ever growing group. He remembered when his grandson had brought Malik over; the Pharaoh was in shock to say the least. After Malik had apologized all the bumps in their friendship was smoothed out, granted it did take a little while for everything to be 100% fine, and they were both left to create a new and stronger relationship with the other.
"Did you hear about Kaiba's new tournament? Apparently he hasn't had enough defeat from the Game King." Yuugi allowed a laugh to escape from between his lips and he shook his head. Kaiba just wouldn't get it but there's no need in trying to tell him that!
"I guess not. Kaiba will never learn but I guess one day he will." The pair had walked past the school and had just started to head across the street when Malik caught something from the corner of his eye. He suddenly stopped and turned around leaving Yuugi to walk a few paces ahead of him before he realized his friend was not by his side. Malik had a feeling that something wasn't right. Call it intuition maybe but after being a Tomb Keeper for the Pharaoh he knew a thing or two when trouble was going to arise. If you were to look up the street you would have see a little alley way, like a short cut in case you were running late, that was right between two of the most busiest food shops that Domino City has ever seen!
"Malik what's wrong? Is everything okay?" Malik had put up a hand to stop his friend from saying more. He needed to concentrate on what this weird feeling was. The only other time he had felt something of this degree was when Marik had arisen, luckily he was trying not to be so evil and uptight, which Malik was gladly thankful for. "Yuugi I have a bad feeling. Somethings not right and I fear that someone may be in grave danger."
The tri-color haired teen's eyes went wide. He trusted his new found friend and he heard the sincerity in his words and the seriousness in his voice. Yuugi knew he was right. "Let us go to the park for a little bit and see if the feeling stays with you." Malik nodded. Yuugi was always the calm and collected one, always knowing when to freak out and when to keep his cool. The pair walked through the gates and soon entered their destination. They picked a bench close to the street just in case the feeling got worse and someone really did need their help. All was well and the two were starting to have fun! Talking about Duel Monsters, their friends, and all the new tournaments they each would like to participate in when a shady looking figure came stalking out of the dark alley, hands in his pockets and a smug look plastered across his face. There was something about this stranger that neither Malik nor Yuugi liked. The two shared a glance and ran off to where the stranger had just left.
What they found when they entered was a terrible sight to see. A mess of white hair colored with the hosts blood, a small and lithe body bruised with tattered clothing hanging off his form, deep cuts were embedded into the porcelain and snow white skin. Malik heard Yuugi gasp. This was not a sight for a queasy stomach or a weak heart. Malik slowly fell to his knees and touched the tips of his fingers to the strangers paling cheek. The boy was tired and he tried to open his eyes. It took about a minute or so until the violet eyes looked on into Malik's own.
"P-Please... Help m-me..." Those were the only words the teen could get out until his world went black. Suddenly Malik was yelling at Yuugi to call for help and so he did. Poor Yuugi was freaking out afraid for this strangers life. No one deserved what this teen went through and he was determined to help him to the best of his ability.
So, I was going through some of my old stories and found this one. I have decided to rewrite and change a few things before posting a new chapter. I am currently getting some inspiration for the two newest stories that I have and I am very thankful for everyone who is being patient with the slow updating process. See you in the next chapter!
