The four boys stared after the white haired Brit. All wondering why he left so suddenly.
"Do you think …" Honda asked the other.
"Someone at home? I'm positive." Otogi said.
"We have to help him" Jou stood up.
Malik looked down. "Maybe Ryou doesn't want help."
"Are you a complete idiot Ishtar? He needs our help. I thought you'd care the most since you're fucking in love with him! Oh, why didn't I realise it sooner. He has all the signs!" Otogi was close to tears, remembering his own experiences(1); Honda wrapped his arms around the boy, trying to soothe him.
"He's right Malik, Ryou needs our help and he needs it now!" Jou spoke confidently. "I'll beat his bastard of a brother and put him in jail for hurtin' my friend myself."
"Don't get ahead of yourself, Pup." Seto Kaiba emerged from behind the wall. "You have met Bakura; he could kill you, Puppy. You guys go there and get Ryou out of that house; I'll stay here and call the cops, okay."
The boys nodded. Honda whispered to his lover "Otogi, you have to drive us there, think you can?" the black haired boy nodded and straighten himself up and led the others to his car.
The boys went up to the house. "Honda, Jou you two go distract Bakura, Otogi and I will go get Ryou." The boys nodded to Malik's plan.
Honda and Jou knocked down the door. Bakura ran down the stairs, hearing the commotion. "What the fuck do you two want?" he hissed. They tackled him to the ground and started beating him.
Malik and Otogi ran into the house. "Where is his?" Otogi whimpered, worried that they'd be too late. Malik thought for a second. "Under the stairs, I'm positive" they went to the staircase where Jou and Honda were still beating up Bakura. They unlocked the door and saw Ryou lying motionless on the ground.
"Ryou!" they both cried and ran to the boy's side. Malik checked his pulse. "It's weak; we have to get him to a hospital." He stood up. Otogi took Ryou in his arms, and was shocked at how light he was.
Bakura managed to get away from Jou and Honda. He went into the kitchen and took the biggest knife he could find. He saw Otogi trying to leave with Ryou.
"Where do you think you're going with him?" he hissed at Otogi. The black haired boy glared "I'm taking him away from you, somewhere where he'll be safe." Otogi turned to leave. Bakura ran towards the boy and stabbed him in the shoulder. Otogi let out a piercing scream and fell to his knees.
Honda and Jou were still at the stairs, both their eyes widened. "YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" Honda shouted and jumped over the banister straight onto Bakura and started to beat him up again.
Malik and Jou ran to Otogi's side. "Otogi, say something, please" Jou begged. The boy gasped "T-take Ryou, please" Malik took the white haired boy from his arms. Otogi collapsed, Jou caught him. "You'll be okay man.
The ambulance and the cops arrived moments later. Bakura was arrested and was taken away, kicking and screaming. Malik and Honda wouldn't leave the other two so they went with the ambulance.
Kaiba had arrived with the cops; he got out of the car, and went over to Jou. "Pup, are you okay?" he asked seeing Jou watching the ambulance leave. Jou clung to Seto, shaking with angry.
"He better fucking die in prison, I'd have killed him there and then if I had a chance." The blonde mumbled into the older boy's chest. Seto smiled slightly "You could have, but then you'd have gone to prison and I could have lost you Pup, and I don't want that." Jou smiled weakly. "Thanks, Dragon" Seto laughed at the name Jou used for him.
"We should go to the hospital." Jou nodded and followed Seto to his limo. "Hey, Dragon" Jou said when they were on their way to the hospital. "What is it, Puppy?" Seto smiled. Jou leaned over and pressed a kiss to Seto's lips. "Love you Seto" The brunette grinned. "Love you too, Jou" the blonde cuddled into his lover as the continued to hospital.
(1) : This is more to do with my RP, Otogi was abused when he was younger and since this is an AU fic, I brought the idea in.
No flames or I'll cry!
