Chapter one~ The Deal

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Two amethyst eyes shot to the timber door of his house as the banging sounds increased steadily. He glanced up to meet lilac orbs accompanied by a wide smirk, gulping slightly at the silver object pressed against his throat. "Looks like we have company my dear," the larger man purred smirking widely to himself. "Maybe I'll play with them instead~" he chuckled lightly removing the silver object away from the smaller boys throat, he slowly made his way over to his video camera closing it and preparing for the other to enter. "Tell him to enter." The boy shook his head firmly but shuddered as he heard the doorknob turning anyway. That meant it could only be… no. The only one in town currently and the only one with a spare key to his house.

Two brown eyes scanned the door frame curiously slowly unlocking the wooden door in front of him and walking into the house, "Yuugi!" the boy's soft voice called out let his white hair puff as he walked curiously through the house, unaware of the two lavender orbs centred on his milky frame and the twisted desire that accompanied the look. The way the tanned teen licked his lips with each step the albino took closer to his current victim, "Yuugi I hope it's ok that I'm over! Bakura was being an," he didn't even finish before staring blankly at the star haired child in front of him. He had known Yuugi for years, while there friendship could be questioned occasionally they were always there for each other when needed. Didn't necessarily mean that he was the brightest friend, his brown eyes searched the other bloody and bruised teen curiously and blankly.

"Ryou get out!" Yuugi screeched hurriedly.

"Wait a minute," Ryou looked his friend up and down, his hair was more or less a black star shape and was outlined in a pinkish red and he had a blond fringe, his large amethyst eyes took up most of this face. He could of sworn eyes that big were only for animated characters, but still. He wore a tight black singlet and tight black jeans to match with different chains hanging off the belt and a choker around his neck, his hands seemed tied behind his back and his legs seemed tied up as well, "am I missing something?" Ryou asked blankly, "what happened here." He was aware between him and Yuugi they were the most popular kids ever. To get picked on and bullied that is.

"Get out Ryou before he comes back!" Yuugi said terror flashing through his eyes as he glanced up to where the other tanned teen was watching his friend curiously, his blood coating and splattered over the others tanned skin and up his wild golden spikes of hair, "Ryou! He's right there!"

"Yuugi calm down," Ryou huffed, "explain slowly. Is something wrong? Well obviously your beat up and tied to a chair," Ryou shrugged bending down to undo some of the ropes around his friends feet. "By the way these knots are shitty," Ryou said simply pulling the ropes from around his feet off, "actually tying someone to a chair is so unoriginal and just plain lazily. If your going to torment someone there's much better ways," Ryou noted earning a silent chuckle from his little watcher.

"Ryou! I know you're into horror and all that but this isn't a joke!" Yuugi stressed instantly pointing in the direction of the Egyptian male watching them, "he's right there!" Ryou ignored this friends concerns too busy thinking about the way he had been tied up and how he could of done better, plus he kind of had a thing for writing murder stories and this was good inspiration. He only frowned being snapped out of his trance as a tanned hand covered over his mouth with a cloth. "Ryou!" Yuugi screeched as his friend soon lost consciousness.

"He is cute," the other male chuckled lightly glancing at the smaller boy as he attempted to remove himself from the seat, "you're not leaving just yet my little pet," he purred softly, "now Yuugi was it?" Yuugi nodded slowly gulping as the other male held a firm foot to his throat threatening to cut his oxygen at any moment and just kill him here and now. He was only in high school for crying out loud! He still wanted to do so much more before he died. Seventeen, didn't even reach eighteen? "Good, now I'm going to let you chose. You or him. I will kill you and torture you, watch you scream and make the rest of your short life a living hell or and here's the fun part. You let me have this creampuff child instead, I will not kill him. I will keep him with me, mine for eternity, that is unless you try to call the cops on me. In which case he's dead and so are you and I'll make you watch him suffer. So your call. Once you chose, you can not change your mine though."

Yuugi gulped nervously, he didn't want to die and he promised not to kill his friend as long as he didn't call the police. But still was it really fair to treat Ryou like this, a pawn? Shouldn't he get a say, it is his life he's giving up. For this psychotic teen, sadly the other male didn't even look twenty. Close but not yet. How could someone be so twisted at such a young age, "y-you won't kill him?"

"That was the deal," the other smirked glancing at the pale boy, he had seen this boy before and had previously sparked his interest. So no, he wouldn't kill him yet. He wanted to break him first. Twist him. Manipulate him and bend him to his will. He would have fun, or he could just finish his hug right now and off this other annoying boy who had bumped into him near the school a week ago. He hadn't really had plans to kill either but still. Plus Murder had much higher charges. He would still kill them though if the boy called him out. And he would enjoy it, that rush. "But he will belong to me. You will probably never see him again."

Yuugi gulped, apologising and regretting his answer before it even left his mouth, tears pricking in his eyes, "good bye Ryou." He sniffed as the other burst out laughing.

"Such as human nature goes," the Egyptian looking teen smirked, "you pitiful beings only care about your own existence even if you had to sacrifice someone else. You are truly worthless." He let go of the boy's throat to instead pick up his newest possession and sling it effortlessly over his shoulder. This turned out better than he could've ever imagined.

"Wait! No," Yuugi burst into tears, "please! Chose me instead! I changed my mind!"

"I said it was final," the teen shrugged, "now I would be silent if I were you."

He smashed a powerful fist into the others face, and all Yuugi could think of was how he chose his own life over his friends. And how he was going to save him even if it was the last thing he did before everything just went blank and he saw absolutely nothing. Thought nothing. He couldn't move, maybe the other teen had killed him anyway. Right now he wouldn't be able to tell, everything was hurting. But in a way he was scared to wake up and find out the reality instead of living in a dream world where that was all it was. A silly dream. That he would wake up any moment. Someone didn't break into his house, beat him. Taunt him tie him up only to take his friend at the end. What sort of twisted mind made deals like that. But he had agreed to it. Didn't he? Did he have a choice? as he didn't decide he would be dead or maybe the teen would of killed him and took Ryou anyway or just murdered Ryou right here and left. Today had started off just as any other day had, he went to school laughed with his friends. Got more food for dinner and rented a movie. He would never of guessed it could've gone of wrong, missed the lilac eyes that had been watching him since he left the house, the other male enjoyed to 'document' his 'targets' more like victims on his camera, he would film them. His face was never in the shot though so no one would be able to prove it was him. He showed him the collection of pictures he had accumulated of him over the day, just watching for a distance. It was freaky to think someone had been watching him and just waiting.

He moaned slightly being shaken to consciousness, "Yug! Wake up Yug!"

"I don't think he's waking up," another worried voice said, this time a girl's voice.

"Maybe we should call help?" another voice suggested.

"Hey! I think he's waking up!" another girl's voice stated cheerfully Yuugi's eyes fluttered open slightly and glanced at his group of friends before jolting up, how long had he been out.

"Ryou!" he screamed out suddenly surprising all his friends who had noticed the boy not come to school and had come to check on him and found his door open and unlocked, "how long have I been out!" tears threatened to leak from his wide amethyst eyes.

"Yuugi calm down," a boy with blond hair said in a strong Brooklyn accent, "you only missed one day of school. What happened to you."

"I've been here an entire day!" Yuugi sobbed loudly, "Ryou. Where is Ryou!"

"Not sure," a boy with black hair and dice hanging from his ears shrugged lazily, "Ryou didn't show up either and his brothers were useless little shit per usual. There was this new Egyptian boy in our grade," he mused slightly.

"WHAT! Was his hair spiked up!"

"No," the brown haired hair frowned. "What happened Yuugi?"

"I did a terrible thing Anzu," he sniffed hugging his legs close to his chest.

"It's ok," the blond teen smirked slightly trying to lighten the mood, "it couldn't be that bad."

"It is Jounouchi," Yuugi sniffed loudly, "I gave him Ryou…"

"You gave who Ryou?" the brown haired boy frowned blankly, everyone confused by the statement.

"He came here to kill me. And then—then," Yuugi sobbed louder, "Ryou came in… and he offered me a deal. I'm such an idiot for agreeing!" he hid his puffy red face in his legs.

"What sort of deal," the black haired teen said seriously sensing this wasn't just some school bully or one of Ryou's annoying murder mystery parties or dinners.

"I was so selfish!" Yuugi sobbed louder, "he said he would kill me right now and here… or I could give him Ryou… he wouldn't kill him… but… I didn't want to die!" he sobbed loudly again, "I was so selfish."

"You gave him Ryou."

"I didn't want to! I was just so scared to die!" Yuugi looked up as Anzu wrapped her arms around him in a motherly sense.

"It's ok," she said quietly, "we'll save Ryou. He said he wouldn't kill him. So we will get him back, you can't blame yourself. You handled yourself well in that position. No one should have to chose something as twisted as that."

"But," Yuugi sniffed, "I should've let him kill me! Ryou had nothing to do with it! And I traded him like he was nothing! He said he would kill both me and Ryou if I called the police… but…"

"We don't need them anyway," a purple haired girl said quietly, "you have your friends! We will find Ryou!"

"Trust me Yuugi, everything will be ok," Anzu smiled, "we'll get him back. And when your brothers get back from their trip they'll help too!"

"What about Ryou's brothers," the black haired teen spoke up suddenly, "we have to tell them something."

"Bakura and Akefia," the purple haired girl mused slightly.

"We need to tell them Otogi!" Yuugi said in an almost pleading tone.

"But," the purple haired girl spoke up again, "Honda what do you think?" she turned to the brown haired male, "they probably won't care until the end of the week. In which they will come to us anyway and if we tell them they'll even get pissed and make matters worse that way or call the police. Which could endanger both Ryou's and Yuugi's lives."

"But they should know Miho!" Yuugi protested, "they deserve to know what I did!"

"And if he's gone too long from them, they might call the cops anyway?" Honda noted, they all jumped as Yuugi's home phone rang.

"I'll g-get t-that," Yuugi said shakily getting to his feet, "h-hello?" he asked wobbly. Losing his usually cheery childish tone he had.

"Good your home," the other voice huffed and Yuugi's eyes widened, "I'm coming over so don't move or else."

"O-ok," Yuugi agreed feebly as the phone hung up, "guys. Ba-Ba-Bakura's coming!"

"Shit!" Otogi swore, "we're not ready."

"We need to tell him!" Yuugi pleaded again with his friends. Wishing that he had been stronger when he was given the options and not of been so weak and given up Ryou. He was the world's worst friend. Seriously who in their right mind did that!? So what if he and Ryou hadn't always been the closest of friends, they were friends and friends didn't do that to other friends. Ryou had a tough enough live already as it was. He really didn't need this, Yuugi felt his eyes well with unshed tears blurring his vision as he collapsed back down to the ground, that psycho could be doing anything to his friend right now and he wouldn't know. But one thing he did know was that it was one hundred percent his fault and his fault alone. His friends were bickering in the background but his own thoughts easily overpowered the useless sound as his guilt engulfed him making him a mess on the ground trying to hold back teas that were begging with all their might to spill, praying silently to himself that that ground would swallow him up right here and now. He clutched his eyes closed violently trying to just go back in time and back to when everything made sense, him and Ryou sitting on the porch of his house drinking tea and coffee, he was never quite able to grasp what his pale friend liked about tea. But still it was peacefully watching the sun set and chatting away like a couple of highschool girls talking about everything and anything. Even if their interests differed their passions both flared brightly and made it easy to flow together. Watching the orangey skin turn from its usual blue to pink to purple to a honey golden colour and finally darkness being lit by billions of shining stars. And just laughing happily. His illusion shattered violently with the bashing on his closed door.

"C-com-ing!" Yuugi stood up shakily and forced his way to the door, his friends seemed to busy to even notice the teen they had been discussing was supposedly here. He opened the door shakily feeling himself pale considerably under the others powerful glare, his harsh mahogany eyes glared holes through his sole only causing Yuugi to wish he had picked death more. Ryou's eyes were never harsh compared to his older brothers, his were more of a soft milk chocolate, but this teens eyes accompanied by a bloody tinge flared with the fiery pits of hell one look into them and most people knew to stay on this teens good side or at least just stay out of his way. He felt his throat go dry as the other teen towered over him, his white hair so similar to Ryou's but instead spiked slightly in harsh horns and the two flaps most kids referred to as bat wings or once cat ears said hauntingly on the teens head of messed up white hair defying gravity itself. He wore a black jacket that contrasted his skin and a dark grey singlet underneath with the word 'death note' printed on the front. Yes it was an anime, but still no one would dare say anything as the other teen seemed scarier then the guy in the show who only had to write your name in a book to kill you. He wore dark jeans as well, they seemed old and kind of ripped and torn and dirty at the bottom and they seemed too long for the slim male. How could two twins be so similar but all so different?

"Yuugi," the teens voice was harsh with a strong British accent as he pronounced the Japanese name.

"Ba-Bakura!" Yuugi yelled hoping his friends would stop talking and notice the new teens presence.

"Yes me," Bakura growled slightly, but he still didn't sound terribly angry. It was just how the teen normally spoke, his voice naturally held a venomous tone or that's what most would believe as no one else would remember a time when he didn't speak with this harshness in his voice, unless it was the chat up girls which he was quite popular with and flocked over him lovingly.

"W-what a l-lovely s-sur-prise!" Yuugi could kill himself as he couldn't stop his silly stuttering, it was just making him seem nervous and more upset than he already was. He had traded this guy's brother. He was so dumb, so very dumb. How was he meant to tell him!? He couldn't lie, it wasn't right to trick the other teen, Yuugi moaned internally as his morals and heart fought his mind's pleads to just say anything but to do with Ryou. Avoid the topic forever. But he had to face what he did. This was all his fault he was so dumb, he felt his eyes shift to the ground nervously shaking slightly as the other man's voice from yesterday purred through his head. 'But he will belong to me. You will probably never see him again.' His voice taunting his mind, laughing tauntingly over him. Clouding his other thoughts, 'such as human nature goes.' The man was right, no matter how twisted he may be. He was right. When it came down to it humans were disgusting selfish pieces of meat. They would do anything to survive even if it meant sacrificing their own kind. And he had done just that, he let the man take Ryou just to save his own silly life. What if the deal had of been he would kill Ryou. Would he still have chosen his life over his pale friend? And none the teens brother was here, he was a horrible person! He completely screwed over his friend. If he could still call himself Ryou's friend after trading him to a psychopath. The other teen raised a snowy white eyebrow suspiciously.

"Is Ryou here," Bakura said simply after letting an awkward silence settle between them, assuming the teen was stuttering because to be honest he looked pretty beaten or just was just scared of him like most kids in the school. But he had always hated to beat around the bush and decided to get straight to the reason of his sudden visit. Yuugi seemed to be avoiding eye contact. He seemed odd, not that he would take much notice normally. But this kid was usually bursting with joy and childishness that most people lost when then hit school. He had always kind of resented Yuugi because of it because the kid seriously needed to grow up and face the music. But he and Ryou still always laughed and acted like a bunch of girls whenever they came in contact. But today the teen seemed more than dead, like an empty corpse wondering the mortal plain.

"R-Ryou!" Yuugi felt his eyes dwell further with unshed tears, "y-y-you w-want t-to—to k-now wh-ere R-R-R-Ryou is," he gulped having troubles even saying the name as his guilt poisoned him slowly from the inside out and he couldn't speak properly to save his life. Then again it was Ryou's life he had put in danger.

"Stop stuttering you idiot!" Bakura snapped his patience wearing thin, "I don't care if you're scared of me! But this is seriously getting ridiculous!" he blinked slightly as the other boy choked back a loud sob teasing his lip. Ok maybe this wasn't just him being scared. Or maybe he was? Who knew. But Bakura wanted none of it, "is Ryou here or not! I haven't seen him since yesterday!"

"Why would Ryou be here," Otogi came over to help his mess of a friend who was trying his hardest not to just break down and practically choke on his own breath.

"We had a fight," Bakura said moodily glancing away from the green eyed teen, his black hair was tied back into a ponytail and his fringe was mostly kept back by a red and black diamond headband except for a few strands that refused to be contained and hung over his face, he had dice hanging from his ears and a black line shot out the bottom of one of his bright green eyes, "and I figured he would come to one of you friendship loving goons houses," he finished off even moodier than the first couple of words.

"Well he's not here," Anzu confirmed, "and we're all here. So he wouldn't be at any of our houses!"

"Got what you wanted," Jounouchi raised an blond eyebrow, "so you can go now?"

"Where is my brother then," Bakura said all but nicely venom dripping dangerously from his voice.

"Um, Bakura-kun?" Miho spoke cautiously. Earning a glare from said addressed teen, she couldn't help but blush deeply under the powerful gaze, even if he was scary she couldn't help how her heart missed a beat every time he looked at her or the way his British accent made his voice just so soothing in its own way, "Ryou-san…" she tried to think of something to calm the other teen, "Ryou-san is safe, he just… he wanted to go away for a while… he didn't tell us where he was going Bakura-kun. But he's not here and I don't know when he's coming back."

"He left us!?" Bakura snapped causing everyone to shudder and jump at his sudden outburst, "he fucking abandoned us! Screw him then!"

"B-B-B-Bakura," Yuugi still couldn't compose himself, "i-t's n-not l-li-like tha-t."

"Yug's right!" Jounouchi backed him up, "don't blame Ryou! He wouldn't have gone if you were nicer to him!"

"I don't need this," Bakura snarled, "tell him if he comes back here. I'm fucking going to kick his ass, until he bloody gives me a bloody damned good reason for leaving or his bloody beaten to a pulp." Bakura snarled storming away from the house before anyone could stop him, how dare Ryou leave! Ryou knew he had abandonment issues and he thought 'hey! the best way to get back at my brother for tying him to the tree outside again is too leave and abandon him and Akefia! Perfect!' Just fucking perfect. He let his hands sink into his pockets grumpily, he had skipped most of his classes today. Not fucked if Ryou wasn't there and Akefia had graduated so he had no use to be at school or notice that Ryou wasn't. He of course noticed his little brother wasn't home but just said he must be sleeping over a friends and left it at that. Bakura growled replying what he said to Ryou's friends in his head slowing his pace slightly. He didn't really say those things about his brother? Did he? He wouldn't hurt Ryou and defiantly didn't want Ryou hurt. But still he was pissed.

Ryou left him just like there good for nothing father who left after their mother and sister passed, then came home over a year or more later expecting to live off them and Ryou had forgiven him but in reality the ass had been fired for stealing artefacts and getting drunk constantly on the job. Akefia had kicked the man out saying he was no longer welcome here. Ryou had been so clueless and couldn't comprehend why they kicked out there father. No one ever explained letting there youngest brother live in the fantasy that his mind had created. It was better that way, some day they would tell Ryou what an ass there father was, but he needed something. He had loss his mother and sister. He needed at least one parent to think about, and not the asshole Akefia and Bakura knew the blue haired man to truly be. He growled slightly though he wasn't really pissed now, just hurt. He wanted Ryou back. He wanted to know if he was safe. He wanted to protect the other, but how could he if he didn't know where his doppelganger was. What if he had got in an accident? Bullies or some gang beat him in an alley. He wouldn't know and what he didn't know about he couldn't protect his younger twin from. He heaved a sighed letting the night time air rush at him. It had gotten dark pretty quickly, he had gone straight home from school and sat moodily on the lounge expecting Ryou to show but of course he hadn't so after an hour or two of waiting he walked to Yugi's because it was like an half an hour walk and he lost the keys to the car again and called Yuugi like half way there plus it had taken him for bloody ever to find the stupid kids contact. Then again he questioned why he bothered calling, would it really of stopped him from coming over? Probably not. He was a thief, if he really wanted he would just break into the others house and wait for his return and hopefully Ryou to be with the childish star haired boy.

Hmph, maybe he was being stupid. Ryou was probably cooling off somewhere and would come home soon? Right, well there was a time to be hopeful and why is now any different. He didn't have overly high expectations or hopes about anything. So maybe just this once it would be alright to hope and pray that his brother would come home? Yes? No? Maybe… well he could hope couldn't he. It was illegal like most of his other choices in life. He smirked pleased with this thought and continued on his way home fighting against the nights cool air.
