CHAP 2
'It's now half past six, and it's going to be another B. E. A. Utiful day in our fair city, the sky is clear and the sun is shining.' The beat started.
A tanned body rolled over in the large empty bed, platinum blonde hair fell over a gold coloured silk pillow, and his face half hidden in it and arms held the pillow tightly. He mumbled out a name that had been lost to him for quite some time, passed from his lips in almost a purr and rang out clearly in the room. Light lavender eyes fluttered open slowly. The first thing that came into focus was the hand painted portrait on the far wall, with four teens in it, two standing with their arms wrapped around the waists of the two smaller ones, standing in front of them, who were smiling happily and the two up the back seemed to be smirking.
'The
summer sun is fading as the year grows old. And darker days are
drawing near.
The winter winds will be much colder. Now you're
not here.'
The radio was the only thing that could be heard, and tears filled the light lavender eyes as they lingered on the smallest one in the portrait. He buried his face into the pillow and his body started to shake with the force of his sobs.
'I
watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky. And one by one they
disappear.
I wish that I was flying with them. Now you're not
here.'
He reached out a hand and turned off the radio it lingered on the button for a minute, and listened to the silence of the room. He soon sat up wiping his eyes with the back of his hand, and got up and headed to the adjoined bathroom, if he was seen like this then it would only cause the ones that he cared for to worry and ask questions, and he didn't want that at all.
He stepped into the hot spray of the water and let it run over his well-toned tan body. He closed his eyes and tilted his head back as the spray hit him in the face to wash away the tears that wouldn't stop falling. 'How long has it been?' He thought painfully, 'to long.' He sighed and felt the weight of pain in his chest and with sad realization that it had never really left, he spread out his large black wings and ruffled them in the spray. 'But why am I thinking about… him for?' His hands turned into fists on the white and black marble tiles in front of him. 'That scent from last night, it smelt just like him.' He crumbled to the bottom of the shower as he let out a choked sob, 'I'm going insane. Now I'm starting to smell him on people.' He looked up at the ceiling and snarled showing his fangs. "You hate me, I know it, and your laughing your ass off at me right now." He said out loud then looked down.
"I won't go back to that place." He hissed to himself and right then, he cursed every living thing on earth to burn and die. 'Finish up and get dressed, go out and get something to eat… or someone.' He snapped out of his depressed mood slowly. 'That always cheers you up.' He smirked, and then said out loud "Yes it does."
He walked into the bedroom and got dressed, in a light lavender hooded top that stopped half way down showing off his navel and tan khaki pants that had more pockets than anything, and hugged his hips and black boots, gold earrings, chokers, wrist bands and a gold ring on his upper left arm.
He was about to walk out the door after a glance in the mirror at himself, he spotted a note on the dresser. He frowned and walked over and picked it up, and read it over and smirked.
"It seems that I have the day to myself." He scrunched up the note and dropped it into the bin, so they would know that he read it. He made his way down stairs to the front door. He grabbed his helmet and keys on the way out.
He walked down the path to the garage pushing a button on the key ring and waited for the doors to open. It was big enough to fit five cars into it, which was lucky because they owned three cars and two motorbikes. He spotted the red Dodge viper GTS, passed the black Lamborghini Countach, as the sliver MX5 BMW was gone and one of the Harley Davidson motorbikes as well. He mounted the only Harley left and started it up and roared out of there, the doors closing behind him as he sped down the street to the mall, for a day of shopping and food.
'A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes. As if to hide a lonely tear… My life will be forever autumn. Cause you're not here.'
Ryou ran into the guest room that he stayed in the night before, turned off the radio and grabbed his book bag and ran down stairs. He dropped it next to Yugi's bag right near the front door of the house. He walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table with Yugi. Ryou then started on his breakfast that was placed in front of him. "I just don't see why, you don't move in here with us? You stay here a lot more than anybody."
"I can't Yugi." Ryou said as he looked up from his plate of pancakes, knowing that there would be some law that would stop this from happening.
"We wouldn't mind at all, In fact it would be good to have an extra pair of hands around the house." Yugi's grandpa said as he sat down and smiled at Ryou.
"Don't you mean around the shop?" Yugi mumbled as he glanced at his grandpa, but the old man didn't hear it, but Ryou was holding in his giggles. "Anyway you could have the guest room as your own room." He said and Yugi had a hopeful look on his face.
"But what about my?…I just don't want to be any trouble." Ryou poked at his food, the two had done so much for him already.
"Don't be silly, you're never any trouble. I can see a few of my old friends and see what they have to say about finding away for you to stay here." He said while looking thoughtful.
"You can do that?'" Ryou asked a little doubtful.
"Would it hurt to try and have you in a home where you don't have to worry when you're going to be fed, and in fear about when your going to be beaten next." He said sternly.
"I guess." Ryou looked down, he didn't think that he could imagine living like that.
"Well, then just make yourself at home." Yugi's grandpa got up from the table. "I have to open the shop now." He then left the room
"So will you move in?" Yugi was almost jumping up and down in his place excitedly.
"Yes, I will." He smiled, but then his eyes widened as Yugi jumped over the table at him. Knocking them both to the floor, he basically crushed Ryou in that hug. "BOY'S YOUR GOING TO BE LATE!" Both boys jumped up and ran to get their bags. They ran back through the house to the shop. "Bye grandpa!" Yugi called out, as they slowed to walking out the door. The old man waved them off as they walked down the street together.
Lunchtime came around and the whole school was let out. Ryou and Yugi were in line for their lunch in the cafeteria. When heavy arms sat on his shoulders all of a sudden, making Ryou jump out of his skin. "Hey there?" Came a voice in his ear, Ryou shuddered in a bad way.
"Hi, H-Honda." Ryou moved out from under the taller ones arms and stood next to Yugi.
"I have a game on, if you want to come watch me play?" He leaned in close to Ryou smirking, as Ryou shifted nervously biting his lip.
"I'm a little busy, so I'm sorry I really can't." Ryou said politely as he could, as Honda frowned at him.
"Just come and watch… or better yet we can hang out after school and you can stay over my place this weekend." He asked, Ryou paled and looked at Yugi then the tall teen with odd hair stile it stuck out in the front of his head and in two shades of brown.
"I can't I'm staying with Yugi this weekend." Ryou pointed out, Honda growled but stopped at seeing Yugi and stood up straight again.
"Well I suppose it can't be helped. We'll have to hang out another time then." He said and Ryou nodded his head eagerly not wanting to spend the time with him, he didn't mind Honda at all but he just liked to touch Ryou to often, whether it was on the arm, shoulder wherever, but it always left Ryou confused and very nervous and wanting to get away from him. But then Honda did something, which made Ryou gasp and freeze in place. He kissed Ryou on the cheek quickly then walked away disappearing into the crowed of teens in the room before he could say anything.
"Umm…" Yugi looked up at Ryou, who had a look on his face that no one could place not even Yugi himself. "I think that Honda likes you, like, likes you."
After a few minutes of shocked silence Ryou finally found his voice. "I think I have to talk to him." He looked down at Yugi who looked just as shocked as he did. They soon had gotten their food and took it outside under a tree to eat. Ryou was just happy that no one really took any notice of what had happened.
"So are we doing anything after school today?" Anzu asked, straightening her skirt with her hands and brought Ryou out of his thoughts.
"I think maybe the mall?" Yugi smiled at her, "plus Ryou needs some stuff."
"No, Yugi I can get what I need from home." Ryou said as if the words were poison.
"I don't think that's a good idea" Yugi frowned at him.
"Why not?" Anzu asked looking confused.
"I would rather… not say Anzu." Ryou said. That left no room for argument that's if he could pull something like that off, he didn't want to hurt the girl's feelings. She just nodded her head and let it go.
"Fine Yugi we'll go to the mall, if you like." Ryou sighed in defeat. They had sat outside, for a while and soon they had to head back to class.
Later that day the small group walked through the mall, Ryou had a few bags of clothes and other stuff, he had bought. He came out of a shop and was looking for Yugi, they had split up or got separated. Ryou sat down on a bench that wasn't to far from him, he put his bags down at his feet. "Do you mind if I sit down?" Ryou looked up and saw a teen about his age, with tan khaki pants, a sleeveless lavender top, tan skin, platinum blonde hair and lavender eyes that matched his top.
"Yeah sure." Ryou had found his voice.
"It's so busy in here." The teen said looking Ryou up and down and sat next to Ryou.
Ryou shifted a little to make room but there wasn't that much to begin with, as the bench wasn't that big really. "It always is." He whispered, he was shy and didn't like to talk to people he didn't know.
"I'm Malik." He held out his hand all of a sudden.
"Ahh … Ryou." He looked at the hand then hesitated in taking it in a shake, Ryou gave him a shy smile, but as Ryou gazed up into light lavender eyes, he felt his face heat up in a blush and his heart quicken in his chest, and his stomach felt like it had butterflies in it going mad, but what shocked him more was that he was leaning in as was Malik.
"RYOU!" He snapped his head around breaking him from whatever he was in, to look up to see Anzu and Yugi walking towards them with smiles and bags in their hands.
"Hey, did you get some good stuff?" She looked at the bags on the floor, and then to the guy that was sitting next to Ryou.
"Yeah I did." He gave her a smile.
"So, who's this?" Yugi asked, looking at the other on the seat.
"Just leaving." Malik stood up. "Nice to meet you Ryou, I'll see you around." He gave Ryou one last look of what Ryou could place was disappointment then left.
"Bye." Ryou called out after him feeling yet again for the hundredth time that day confused.
"Who was that?" Yugi asked sitting down next to Ryou.
"His name was… Malik." Ryou picked up his bags, and stood up, "he just sat down next to me."
"Oh… anyway we should think about going, its getting dark." Yugi stood up, and they headed for the exit of the mall.
XXX… Malik's P.O.V…XXX
I sighed, as I looked around at all the people I had been here for hours. I thought about going home and calling it a day, as there are better things I could be doing right now. I shiver at that thought and a smirk that came all on it's own, that got me a few strange looks from people around me. My stomach growls at me letting me know that it wants food and not to neglect it. Malls are a good place for a meal. Yeah I'm the bottomless pit, always hungry. But I do also need clothes, got to keep up with the times. I was just walking through looking at stores glancing in the windows "Oh that's not bad, I like that." I stopped just outside a store they had great stuff inside.
But something caught my eye, and nose especially, that scent that could very well render me to my knees and put my mind in a state of a foggy haze if I let it. I looked around quickly to see where it would be coming from, the smell was from the other night, from that kid that kicked me, 'IT STILL HURTS.'
So I followed my nose to the source. I stopped when I saw him, sitting there on the bench like he had been there the whole time as if… do I dare say it? Waiting for me, as if destiny granted me the one wish that my heart wanted the most in this world, but it stopped and my breath hitched dieing in my throat, it was him, well it looked like him. I swallowed the lump in my throat. I just had to find out if it was him. I had to touch and feel him for myself, to make sure that this wasn't a dream.
I stood there for a few seconds. He doesn't see me, and the scent is so strong even amongst this pit of flesh. I needed to know, calming my nerves I found my voice. "Do you mind if I sit down?" He looks me over before his eyes meet mine, I almost fainted he had the same eyes.
It is as if he is having trouble to answer me. "Yeah sure."
"It's so busy in here" I looked him over more carefully, as I sat next him, now that I was closer, but this wouldn't do at all. I wanted to be closer to feel him, his body under my touch. I took in a breath to calm myself. It had been so long. He had the same white hair that came down in waves halfway down his back, soft brown eyes and pale skin… and that same school uniform as the other night. I felt a little guilty with the force that I had used on him last night. He shifts a little. "It always is." He whispered, if I were a human I would have missed it. He looks nervous.
"I'm Malik." I introduced myself and held out my hand, didn't really care but I was curious, and just had to know if his name was the same.
"Ahh… Ryou." He was hesitant in shaking my hand but did anyway. I got a smile, I just wanted to hug him and take him home with me, but all in due time. I have to be patient and observe more of him. But dammit it would hurt... as he looked me in the eyes I used a small amount of my power to hold him where I wanted him, under my control… I just wanted. No. I need to taste those lips on my, to run my hands through his hair and pull him against me… Oh Ra even if it wasn't him. I didn't care, as I watch him lean forward and blushed… this one would do for my little fantasy. I blushed a little as I lent in to met his lips, in that so needy kiss that would condemn me for eternity in hell for my sin, for a demon to kiss an angel.
"RYOU!" He looks away and my small spell was broken and lost as I look over to the two people who approached us, a girl with a short boy that looked just like... I had to suppress a growl for they interrupted me, I should kill them for that, but in a way it may have been for the best, if this was Ryou, my Ryou, then I would want him to kiss me of his own free will and not forced to.
"Hey did you get some good stuff?" the girl looked through Ryou's bags on the floor, I was shocked she looked right at me. She couldn't sense what I was? She must be in training… I sighed mentally that was a good thing.
"Yeah I did" he gave her a smile, I wonder if he knows, probably not as they must be friends, and I hope not his girlfriend either.
"So who's this?" the short one, looked at me.
"Just leaving." I stood up. "Nice to meet you Ryou, I'll see you around." I looked him over disappointed that I didn't get that kiss, but left anyway. "Bye." I heard Ryou call out after me. I would have liked to stay, but with that girl there, it was too risky. "Oh that looks like an easy meal." I smirked to myself and followed a girl.
A few words and put on the charm, and before I knew it she was throwing herself at me. I took her out of the mall to the car park, in a promise to show her my Harley and give her a ride, stupid girl she should know better than that.
I walked with my arm around her waist as I led her to a deserted part of the car park with not much around. I walked up behind her, she doesn't hear me. "So where was your bike?" As she turned around, it was then that I attacked her. She gave me the whole 'don't hurt me,' the tears the works. I rolled my eyes it's not like I kill them after, they still live they just don't remember. Her scream died in her throat as I sink my teeth in the main vain in her neck. I close my eyes as the blood runs into my mouth. I get a few really good mouthfuls, before I licked the wound closed some of my poison seeps into her skin, just to help her not to remember and keep her out of it for a few hours or until some one finds her. I then drop her to the floor and licked my lips clean.
"You! I though I would find you here" a voice I knew all to well, I smirk with out looking.
"Ishizu, what do you want now? Don't you know that it's rude to watch people eat." I growled as I turned to face her. She had the teary-eyed thing happening and I almost laugh in her face.
"Your not human Malik, and you have no rights and you know what I want." She took a step towards me, "I just wish that I could have saved you."
I rolled my eyes at her not this again. "It would not have mattered sister, if you remember I made that choice myself not that I had a choice."
"No you didn't, I know that now, you were taken from me. You were just a boy." She put her hand behind her back. I know what's coming. "And now I have to kill my only brother." she pulled out a crossbow and aimed it at me.
"You have been trying that, playing the same crap for years now, chasing me around the world, you can't kill me." I lunged at her. She dropped the bow on the ground, as I grabbed her arms and pinned them behind her back. "You're getting slow sister." I laughed knowing it would get on her nerves.
"No Malik, I'm distracting you." I stopped my laughing and growled looking around, fuck I knew that was to easy, the bitch let me get her.
"You could never bring yourself to kill me." That's when I saw it, there in the shadows just off to my left in front of us. "A witch Ishizu? That's low even for you." She's laughing now, I don't know why.
"Don't you remember, that I'm one too, or has your memory gone after all those years, little brother?" She was laughing at me now, great. I had forgotten but I wasn't going to tell her that, I had to get out of here.
"See you later." with that, I threw her into the witch or warlock whatever and flew up. I looked down to see what they were doing just in time. Ishizu aimed the bow at me. My eyes widening and then the pain shot through my shoulder. I almost fell back down to the ground. I managed to get myself under control before hitting the ground. "Better luck next time Ishizu, when you get more practice with that thing." I laughed hysterically and almost insanely. Yeah I had lessons from the best. I dodged a few more just to mock her, and flew off back home.
XXX… Normal P.O.V…XXX
Malik flew over the fences of stone and over the gardens, and landed on the balcony and fell to his knees, his eyes going blurry and his limbs were heavy. "She must have used poison." He said, as he crawled over to the window, and pushed it open then fell to the carpeted floor. "Malik!" came a gasp from in the room, and a figure picked him up.
"What happened love?" the voice was trembling as he looked Malik over seeing the blood on his shirt and running down his arm.
"It…. was a witch." Malik looked up into dark brown eyes with white bangs that fell over his eyes almost, and pale skin, it was all he could get out before he fell unconscious, the other stormed out of the room with Malik in his arms.
"Just hold on love we're almost there." He kicked open the door with such force, that they nearly broke off their hinges.
"What the hell Bakura?" Said a teen with ice blue eyes and light brown hair that glared at him from the corner of the room.
"It's Malik, a witch got him." Bakura laid him on a table in the middle of the room.
"Fine, its not like I was busy." He said in annoyance as he walked over to the table calmly.
"Just fix him now, Seto." Bakura shot him an exasperated look.
Seto just rolled his eyes, he was used to the looks the other always gave him. "Just leave me to my work then." Bakura growled at him warningly. He lent down and kissed Malik on the forehead and left the room, in search for his other love.
He found himself in the library of their home, knowing that he would be there, scanning the area, he spotted the other in a big chair near the windows, he had wild platinum blonde hair that stuck up everywhere and tanned caramel skin and dark lavender eyes, with black lines running from the corner of his eyes out then down his cheeks a little. "Marik?" Bakura said getting the attention of other. "Malik's back." He then sat on Marik's lap and lent his head on Marik's shoulder. "He was hurt by a witch. Seto's fixing him right now."
"I just wish, he wouldn't go out alone to feed." He ran his ringed fingers through Bakura's hair. "Come on we'll see how he's doing" he put his book down. Bakura got up and then helped Marik up.
"I think we should find out what he's up to." Marik took Bakura's hand in his. "I don't want to loose another one." They walked down the hall and to the healer's room.
TBC
Alright I hoped this one was a lot better, the next one should be very different, or a new chap altogether, I'm not sure, the story line will be the same but just improved, (smiles and waves) R&R
