It was the end of the school day and Ryou was just walking out of the school gates when his arm was grabbed by his friend Yugi, his wide purple eyes staring up at Ryou softly

"Hey Ryou fancy coming over mine today to play some games?" Yugi asked softly

"I would really love to Yugi, but I have to get home and get dinner cooked before Bakura gets home."

"Well just leave him a note telling him you are at a friends' house" Yugi replied sweetly

'Don't even think about it Yadonushi' A dark voice sounded through the mind-link Ryou shuddered slightly as he looked towards Yugi,

"I really can't Yugi I promised Bakura I would be home and have dinner on the table for him." Ryou said sadly as Yugi let go of his arm

"Oh okay well maybe tomorrow"

"Yeah maybe tomorrow" Ryou replied as he walked off down the street alone.

'Good boy Yadonushi' that same dark voice sounded

'I am coming home, but tomorrow I am going to Yugis!' The young male shouted through the joint mind-link between him and his Yami. From there it was quiet witch Ryou was thankful for. Ryou finally got to the front door of his and his Yamis apartment to find the door was already unlocked he sighed deeply as he walked through the door and closed it behind him as he turned to face the slightly opened living room door. Ryou could hear what sounded like Mariku voice talking with his Yami, Ryou kicked off his shoes and walked towards the door opening it after stating he was home. As he walked into the living room Mariku was sitting on the sofa with his Yami both holding a bottled beer watching T.V while discussing something about the coming weekends plans.

"Hey Ryou, how was school?" Mariku asked when he saw Ryou walking towards the stairs

"It was boring but that's life I guess" Ryou replied sweetly with a faked smile as he turned to look at Mariku who was smiling at him

"Yadonushi what time will dinner be ready?" Came the dark voice of his Yami

"Well…I have to get changed out of my uniform first so about an hour?" Ryou replied weakly

"Fine just hurry it the fuck up!" His Yami shouted over his shoulder as Ryou ran up the stairs to his bedroom, when he got there he through his ruck-sack onto his bed and started to get un-dress after grabbing his tight black jeans and his favourite blue and white stripped Tee-Shirt. He then got himself dressed and walked back down the stairs as he caught Mariku talking about something,

"Look Bakura you can't keep doing this to the boy, he has already been through enough he doesn't need you threatening his life all the time"

"Mariku I know that, he just pisses me off" The one known as Bakura replied as he looked over his shoulder to see Ryou walking down them, Bakura then turned back to face the T.V and taking a swig of his bottled beer. Ryou sighed lightly and walked into the kitchen to make a start on dinner witch he had been thinking about all day, first off Ryou opened up one of the cupboards and pulled out a bag of mixed vegetables along with some potatos. Ryou could still hear the two males talking and laughing about something while he peeled the potatos and the carrots, he placed them into a big pot filled with slightly salted water and started boiling it. He then walked over to the freezer and pulled out some minced meat

'What are you doing in there Yadonushi?' Bakuras dark voice sounded through their mind-link witch had been closed

'Cooking dinner Bakura'

'What are we having? Also Mariku is staying the night'

'I am cooking a casserole do you want dumplings with it or mash potato?' Ryou replied weakly while seasoning the mince

'Dumplings and did you hear me when I said Mariku is staying the night?'

'Yes Bakura I heard you'

'Good you better make sure there is enough to eat then' with that Bakura closed the mind-link and continued talking with Mariku while Ryou sighed deeply and checked on the boiling pot. "He treats me like a slave! Why didn't I just go to Yugis" Ryou thought to himself when Bakura walked into the kitchen to see Ryou stirring the vegetables while pre-heating the oven, Bakura just walked over to the fridge and pulled out two more bottles of beer and opened them both while looking over at Ryou who still had his back to him. Ryou could feel Bakuras eyes glaring at him and looking over his body witch made him feel uneasy, he didn't want to look at his Yami but he had to get something from where he was standing so Ryou turned around and walked over to the cupboard Bakura was stood in front of,

"Bakura…could you erm…please move?" Ryous voice was shaky and he knew it but Bakura moved out of the way as his eyes trailed over Ryous lithe form, focusing on the perfect looking firm arse that was presented to his eyes by tight fitting jeans. Ryou was still feeling uncomfortable as he pulled out a mixing bowl and other utensils, he then walked over to the kitchen side and placed them down as he opened up another cupboard and pulled out the ingredients for making dumplings. By this point Bakura had walked back into the living but not before whispering something just barely audible,

"Cute arse Yadonushi" With those words still playing on Ryous minds he started to blush slightly as he started to prepare the remaining of dinner, once prepared he walked out of the kitchen and into the living room as the phone started ringing. Ryou walked over to it and answered it with a soft sounding voice

"Hello the Bakura residence, Ryou Bakura speaking"

"Hey Ryou its Marik is my Yami there?" the voice sounded Ryou looked towards the sofa as Mariku nudged Bakura

'What is it Yadonushi?'

'It's Marik what shall I tell him? He wants to know if Mariku is here' with that Bakura stood up and walked over to Ryou and took the phone from his hand

"Marik what is up?"

"Bakura? Have you seen Mariku?"

"No I haven't, what did you need him for?" Bakura had replied calmly while pushing Ryou out of the way, with a content sigh Ryou walked over to the sofa and sat down and started talking with Mariku quietly while Bakura spoke with Marik.

After dinner Ryou done the washing up while Bakura and Mariku went back to watching T.V with a couple more beers, Ryou really hated it when his Yami would drink as he knew what would happen at night. Once finished in the Kitchen Ryou walked into the living room explaining he was going to take a shower and get on with his homework, Bakura just grunted at him and ignored him as Ryou walked up the stairs and back towards his bedroom. Once there Ryou fished out his pyjamas and then walked back along the landing to the bathroom, Ryou placed a couple of towels on the counter beside the sink and started running the water for his shower while he stripped out of his clothes placing them on the side as he looked at himself in the mirror before getting into the shower compartment. He hadn't been in there long when he heard the bathroom door unlocking and opening Ryou held his breath while the bathroom door closed and locked again

"Yadonushi?" Bakuras voice sounded as dark as always

"Y-yes…Ba-Bakura?" Ryou stuttered softly

"Fancy watching some films tonight? Mariku insists that you sit down stairs with us tonight even after I told him you never sit down stairs" Bakuras voice now sounded slightly friendlier

"Well I have homework to do" Ryou replied as suddenly he heard the rustling of clothes hitting the floor "Oh god what is he doing!" Ryou thought to himself when suddenly the shower door opened and Bakura stepped into the shower compartment with him. Ryou held his breath and turned to face the wall as a single hand ran up the side of his leg, Ryou gulped loudly as he felt Bakuras press up against his own

'No shouting now I just wanted a shower'

'Couldn't you wait till I had mine?' Ryou replied via their mind-link when he felt Bakuras breath on the nap of his neck

'Nope so just shut up' Bakura started to slowly trail his fingers up Ryous sides witch made the younger of the two shake slightly, Ryou attempted to move away from his Yami when he was suddenly grabbed by the wrist and pulled to face his darker half. Ryou planned to look at the floor but soon changed that thought to look at the wall suddenly he was pulled to look into his Yamis eyes red tinted brown eyes as he gulped again. Ryou was just about to say something when Bakura smashed their lips together pulling the younger male into his body while trailing one hand down Ryous back before resting softly on his arse, Bakura then released his grip on and moved back from Ryou and smirked at him before grabbing the soap and lathering it up in his hands he then motioned Ryou to turn around witch he did quickly with a red tint touching his pale white cheeks. Bakura had actually started rubbing the soap over the boys' lithe body and washed him up while toying with him at the same time, Ryou thought he was dreaming so he pinched his stomach but it hurt so he knew he wasn't dreaming but Bakuras was never this nice to him.
After what seemed like forever Bakura stepped out of the shower compartment and got himself dried and dressed as Ryou reached out his hand to be greeted by one of the fluffy white towels, he used it to dry himself of as he wrapped it around his waist and stepped out of the shower to see the bathroom door wide open. He sighed deeply as he walked across the landing back into his bedroom where he got himself dressed into his pyjamas, once dressed he walked out of his room and down to the kitchen to get a drink and then returned to his bedroom where he made a start on his homework. This didn't last too long as his bedroom door knocked Ryou was determined to ignore it but the knocking came again, Ryou sighed and walked over to his bedroom door and opened it stood in front of him was a bare god like bronze chest

"Don't you want to come watch some films with us Ryou?" Mariku asked looking down at the small male

"I have my homework to do and I have to get up early" Ryou replied weakly as he felt Mariku lean over his shoulder looking into his bedroom, Ryou was about to push the tall Egyptian out of his room when he was suddenly picked up and carried down the stairs to the living room and dropped onto the sofa in between Bakura and Mariku. Ryou sighed to himself as he looked towards the T.V screen while curling his knees up to his chest and wrapping his arms around his knees, He really didn't want to be watching horror films and would rather be doing his homework.
While deep in his own thoughts and all sound lost Ryou remembers Bakuras lips pressed against his own, he had learnt to conceal his thoughts from Bakura so he wouldn't know what he was thinking and he had gotten a little better at lying as well when suddenly he was pulled from his thoughts as two hands grab his shoulders and he jumps out of his seat shaking. Bakura starts laughing as Ryou looks at him with frightened eyes

"What was that bloody for!" Ryou shouts looking at Bakura

"You were spacing out plus it was funny"

"I wasn't spacing out! I was thinking of…"

"Thinking of what Yadonushi?" Bakura interrupted glaring at his lighter half while Mariku walked into the kitchen

"N-nothing…much…Just my homework…witch I should…really get back to" Ryou replied standing up to walk back to his room as his wrist was grabbed and he was pulled back down onto the sofa this time in Bakuras lap, Ryou tried his hardest to get away as Mariku walked back into the living room holding two bottles of beer as he walks over to them and hands one to Bakura before sitting back down as he stares at Bakura

"Bakura let the boy go"

"No! He wants to go do his homework and I want him to sit down here with us and watch these bloody films!" Bakura said glaring back at his friend. Ryou then stopped struggling as he turned to look at Bakura with widened eyes

"You wanted me to watch these bloody films!" He shouted as he managed to force himself out of Bakuras arms

"Yeah why! Got a problem with that Yadonushi!" Bakura shouted back

"Yeah I have! I should be doing my homework not giving you the pleasure of tormenting me!" With that Ryou stormed out of the living room and back up to his bedroom where he slammed his bedroom door shut. Bakura sighed looking over at Mariku and shrugging

"I thought you told him I wanted him to watch the films?" Mariku asked

"Oh shit! I did! Why the fuck did I just say I wanted him to watch them!" Bakura said coldly gritting his teeth

"Want me to go speak to him?" Mariku asked

"Nah just leave the whiney little bitch to sulk" Bakura said as he went back to concentrating on the film they were watching.

Ryou sat against the door to his room holding his knees to his chest looking towards the window, the sky had already turned black and his alarm clock already read 11:45pm, he sighed deeply and stood up slowly walking over to his bed and climbing under his covers to get settled for bed when he heard Bakura and Mariku laughing at some disturbing scene on the film they were watching. Ryou sighed deeply as he started to close his eyes trying to block out the sounds from the living room, too much avail he succeeded as he fell into a deep slumber.
Ryou began to stir what felt like 8hours of sleep to find that he couldn't see anything, he thought for a moment and tried raising his hands to his face but his hands had been tied by something to the top of his bed. Ryou started to freak out and started squirming when he felt something cold touch his now bare chest when he felt movement on the bed he was laying on

"Who's there!" Ryou shouted while trembling under the cold touch on his skin as it was pressed hard against his pale white flesh as it was dragged down over his stomach Ryou started screaming as he felt tears building up in his eyes when he felt a hand press against his mouth

"If you don't shut the fuck up I will cut your fucking tongue out!" the voice sounded and Ryou clicked immediately that it was Bakura, he started to tremble more when he felt warm liquid running down his body from the sharp cold knife on his stomach. The hand then moved from his mouth as lips was roughly pressed against his own more tears now slipping down his cheeks as he felt another sharp piercing of his skin as his body jolted, breaking from the kiss Ryou could now see who was in front of him and it was in deed Bakura straddling his waist with one of his daggers in his hand pressed against the younger boys side

"Bakura let me go…AH! Please!" Ryou begged tears dripping faster down his cheeks

"Why the fuck should I! You deserve this you ungrateful little shit!" Bakura spat at him while cutting into the boys' body leaving a total of 15cuts over his torso and arms. After two full hours of body torture Bakura released Ryous wrists and dragged him out of his room and into the bathroom and threw him against the wall

"Get yourself cleaned up! Then go back to fucking bed you whiney little bitch!" With that said Bakura walked out of the bathroom and went to his own bedroom leaving Ryou alone and covered in blood. Ryou then started the shower and got himself washed up and then got his cuts bandaged as he returned to his own room and went back to bed crying himself to sleep.
