Bakura growled as he read the note.

'Someone took my hikari?', he thought as he slammed the note down on the table. He turned towards the door, but not before he grabbed a knife and stuck it in his pocket.

"I'm coming for you, Ryou..." He whispered,walking out the door.

As for Ryou, he woke up tied to a chair. He pulled on the ropes,trying to escape, but nothing worked. The ropes were to strong. He sighed in defeat. 'There's no slipping out of this one', he thought. This wasn't new or anything. By now he was used to being kidnapped.

It happens nearly every couple of months. He's just so small, so many people take an advantage of it. All but one.

'Bakura...', he tought. He was the one who was always there to help Ryou out. He was his hero. The one Ryou trusted the most. Ryou looked at his lap remember how he got here.

-Flashback-

School had just ended and he was walking home. Bakura didn't go to school and was at home waiting for his hikari to return.

As Ryou walked, he could hear footsteps echoing behind him. With him growing suspicious, he stopped to turn around, but before he had a chance to do so, he was slammed into a wall.

Groaning, he grabbed the back of his head and looked up. There before him stood Rafael. He was standing there, arms crossed with a smirk upon his lips.

Ryou pulled his hand away from the back of his head and looked at it. There was blood. He could feel himself getting dizzier and dizzier with each minute passing by. Finally, not able to stay awake anymore, he passed out.

-End Of Flashback, Back To Bakura-

He walked down the road pissed. 'Whoever took MY Ryou will pay', he thought.

When he had found he note it had been pushed from underneath the front door. It didn't say who, though, but he was determined to find out.

"Hey, Bakura!" A voice said from behind him. He turned to see a tan, sandy haired boy. "What do you want, Marik?" Bakura asked. "I wanted to talk to Ryou. Is he at home?" Bakura growled remembering how someone took HIS Ryou... AGAIN!

"No, he isn't." Bakura answered.

"Where is he?

""I don't know. Someone took him."

"Again?" Marik asked.

"Yes again."

"You need to watch him more carefully."

"I know. I'm thinking about taking him out of school so I can watch him 24/7."

"Um... How about you go to school instead?" Bakura laughed. "Me? School? Not gonna happen."

"Whatever. Do you need help finding him?" Bakura shook his head. "No. I can do it myself."

"OK. Be careful and call me if you need any help."

"I'll be fine."

"OK. See ya."

"Bye." Bakura turned back and continued down the street. Hang in there Ryou. I'm coming for you... hehe, that rhymed.

~Back to Ryou~

"Rafael, stop!" Ryou cried out as a fist crashed against his cheek. He screamed out in pain. With his hands tied behind his back there was nothing he could do.

"What are you doing?" A voice growled from behind Rafael. He turned around. Bakura stood behind him gripping his knife. Hatred was in his eyes. When he saw Ryou all bruised his anger grew. He raised his knife stepping toward's Rafael as he backed up.

"I should kill you for just making him cry," Bakura growled. "He's MINE. Touch him again and I WILL kill you." He took the knife and stuck it into his pocket.

He walked over to his sweet Ryou who was tied up and bruised. He untied him and gently picked him up bridal style. He turned back toward's Rafael. "I'll be taking my prize now." He said.

He turned towards the door and left.

~At home~

When they got home, Bakura carried Ryou to the bathroom. He set him on the counter and got some bandaids and other stuff. He stood between his leg's as he cleaned him up.

When he was done, he picked him up again and carried him to their bedroom. He laid down first then pulled Ryou on top of him. He held him close, running his finger's through his hair. He loved him so much.

"I don't think you should go to school anymore." Bakura said, breaking the silence. Ryou looked up at him."But... I like school."

"Why? You always get kidnapped." Ryou shrugged. "I don't know... it's fun and I get to see my friends."

"But how can I watch you?" Bakura questioned. "You can come to school with me."

"There is no way I'm going to school."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?

"No!"

Ryou looked at Bakura and gave him his puppy dog face. "Pleeeeeeease?" Bakura sighed in defeat. "OK, fine." Ryou smiled. "Yay!" Bakura chuckled."Yeah, yeah. Now get some rest." Ryou nodded and cuddled into Bakura's chest.

"I love you, Bakura." He whispered. Bakura grinned."I love you, too, Ryou." He whispered back.
