Gen-chan: What Subo-chan? What are you sorry for?

Chibi-Suboshi: I'm afraid I failed all those people out there….

Gen-chan: Wha? What did you fail at?

Chibi-Ryou: I believe he's talking about you coming up with the next chapter…-.-

The Winds of Destiny

Chapter 2

By: Gen-chan

He was worried.

Malik Ishtar never worried, never had he vexed about anything in his life always preferring to go with the flow, as they say. But now, he was getting anxious.

//Where the hell is he? He should have been home hours ago, the suns almost up for Ra's sake! // Malik thought irritably.

"Where the Hell are you, damn it!" He shouted out loud for all the neighbors to hear.

Quickly getting up from his previous position at his kitchen table Malik proceeded to pace back and forth across his kitchen floor. Cursing to himself for the millionth time that morning, Malik quickly looked up at the small gold clock on the wall only to look away with yet another curse on his lips.

"Alright that's it" He mumbled irritably as he stomped out of the kitchen. "I'm through waiting."  Quickly grabbing his jacket, keys and Sennen Rod Malik proceeded to trudge out of the door all the way to his motorbike on the street.

//He's so gonna get it! //

*_*_*_*_*

The chilly air was nipping at his bare arms yet Ryou hardly paid it any heed. His attention was focused entirely on the four large figures before him. Back pressed up against a wall Ryou was trapped with no where to run as the men closed in upon him. Sweating Ryou closed his eyes and prayed that the drunks would leave him alone.

No such luck.

"Hey there babe." One man slurred as he roughly grabbed Ryou's upper arm.

"Come over `er and play with us" another spoke up, his voice far to close for comfort.

"N...no. Go away. Leave me a...alone" The small white-haired teen stuttered vainly.

"Naw" One man breathed into his ear. "I don think I wanna."

With a shove from the closest man Ryou was thrown into the wall behind him.

The very hard _brick_ wall.

With one last frightened Ryou gladly welcomed the darkness into which he was quickly slipping.

"Why me….?"

_*_*_*_*_*

The wind rushed through his platinum blonde locks as he swiftly ran down the street in search of his silver haired boyfriend. Though unfortunately, not knowing where Ryou had gone in the first place was certainly slowing him down. Looking down every ally he passed Malik rapidly approached the now deserted Mall.

// He wouldn't go past the mall; it's to close to Him. //

Quickly growing tired Malik slowed down his pace quickly checking all the little back ways around the mall.

"Well, well, well, what have we here? Is the little mouse lost?"

Malik was slowly standing up at the sounds of footfalls but as soon as that hard voice spoke up he froze like a statue. The blonde's eyes quickly darted to his left pant pocket making sure that his Sennen Rod was where he last left it.

It was.

// Thank Ra for small blessings // He thought.

"Now what would pretty little Malik Ishtar. Mister Hero. Guardian of the Weak and all that shit be doing sneaking around here? Hmmm?" The sinister voice behind him asked sarcastically.

//What the….! // Malik thought confused.  That's when it hit him. With a shuddering breath Malik stood up straight still not looking at the man behind him though still aware who it was.

"Your talking about Ryou aren't you?"  He asked turning around to face the slightly taller white haired Yami.

"Bingo."

_*_*_*_*_*

Darkness.

Silence.

Where am I?

It's so cold.

It hurts.

Someone please help me.

Help.

Wait! Light! There it is a light!

I'm saved!

*_*_*_*_*

With a gasp Ryou's eyes snapped open, air once again gracing his lungs. Unable to sit up he lay there enjoying the feel of the soft grass under his cheek and the light tickle of Sakura blossom petals dancing on his bare arms.

// Wait a minute. Grass? Sakura blossoms? Where am I? //

Startled, Ryou (still unwilling to move) quickly searched his surroundings to the best of his ability.

// the park. How did I get here? What…? Oh! Those men! Where are they? //

Once again afraid, Ryou slowly peeled himself off of the soft ground fearfully looking around the deserted park. By the look of the sky it was most likely early morning and the park was still empty. Still looking around somewhat more calm than before Ryou let a tired yawn escape.

It obviously was _very_ early in the morning.

There was no hide or hair of those four drunken men that Ryou could see, and the silver haired boy was extremely grateful.

// Malik must be worried sick right now. I should probably get home….or maybe not. //

As sitting was beginning to get a bit easier the throbbing pain in the back of his skull told him standing wound still be a big no-no.

Sighing softly Ryou slowly lay back down onto the lush grass to try and soothe his raging headache.  As the soft winds continued to blow the small silver haired boy slowly drifted off into the land of slumber, luckily this time it was dreamless.
