Hey. Sorry for not updating. I've been busy lately. It was dad's day off, so I went shopping and going to places with my family. :c Then I was with my friends, so yeah. Then the rest was messing around with my tablet, cause I'm really silly and I think I can draw. LOL. ouo Okay, so yeah. I should start this. :3
The next day, Mariku and Malik went to find Mai. She was usually with Yugi and his friends, so she wasn\'t that hard o find. When Mariku saw her, she took her arm and dragged her somewhere away from Yugi and his friends. "Wait here and distract them." Mariku mouthed to Malik. Malik nodded.
"What's Mariku doing to Mai?" Yugi asked, wide eyes staring up at Malik.
Malik shrugged. "Eh, it's nothing really. He's just talking to her about.. things."
Jonouchi's eyes narrowed. "What is he doing to Mai." he asked angrily.
"How am I supposed to know? It's Mariku, after all. Why are you so concerned about her anyways?" Malik smirked. Ah, how he loved messing with Jonouchi Katsuya.
"E-Eh? I don't like her! I\'m jut concerned about her because Mariku sent her to the fucking Shadow Realm last time!" Yelled Jonouchi.s"He never asked if you liked her or not, Jou." Honda laughed.
"Honda's right, "Jou". Are you hiding something?" Malik purred.
Jonouchi glared at his friend. Honda's making this worse. Jonouchi then saw the look on Malik's face. Ugh, I hate the look on that smug bastard's face. I just want to wipe that fucking smirk off his face, he thought bitterly.
"Just shut up." Joey muttered.
"What was that, "Jou"? I can't quite hear you." Malik stared at Jonouchi with a smug look on his face. Winning, he thought, smirking at the thought of Jonouchi getting pissed off and flustered. What a joke. When\'sMariku going to be done though.. This is getting boring.. he gets pissed off too easily. Plus, I have no idea what to do now.. Malik pouted.
"What's with the face, Ishtar? Did Mariku fuck you too hard?" Joey retorted. Damn, that was good, Joey smirked.
"No, even if he did, I can endure pain better than you anyways. After all, I am Malik fucking Ishtar." Malik replied boredly.
Ugh, he's so unresponsive. This bastard pisses me off, thought Jonouchi, glaring at Malik. God, he's so arrogant.
Malik sat down on a bench. "Mariku might be a while, so I think I'll just wait here."
"You expect us to stand here and wait with you? I'm going to see where Mai and Mariku is." Jonouchi growled.
Yugi stared at Jonouchi. "Um, Jou. That might not be a good idea. And anyways, wouldn't Mai get mad at the fact that you think she needs help?"
"No." Jonouchi replied stubbornly.
"Jou.. remember last time?" Yugi said softly, looking up at his friend.
"Mai! Mai? Are you okay?" Jonouchi asked concerned. Mai glared at him. "Of course. Just fucking peachy." "Mai.. why can't you let us help you?" Yugi said quietly. "Because I\m strong enough to handle this myself, and I don\t need your fucking help, okay!" shouted Mai stubbornly. Joey remembered her words, and decided he shouldn't do this. Mai already disliked him enough already.
"Fine. I guess you're right.." Joey muttered.;'
Malik smirked. Without Yugi to disagree with Joey, it would be fairly hard to convince him not to search for Mariku and Mai. Ah, this plan is flawless.~, he thought to himsel Hm, but what happened last time, anyways? Oh well, I did what I'm supposed to do anyways. Might as well not press any further, it might make matters worse. They look kind of annoyed though. Oh wow. Annoying them and distracting them at the same time? This is like killing two birds with one stone, hehe.~
"Uh.. what happened last time?" Anzu asked. Jonouchi and Yugi stared at her. Malik did as well.
Oh wow. I didn't even notice she was here until now. Well, it's not my fault she doesn\t speak. At least she asked the question I was going to ask them.
"You were there when it happened! So you should remember it! What the fuck, Anzu." Joey hissed.
Anzu stared at him wide eyed for a few seconds, but she got angry quickly. "Look, it's not my fault that I don't exactly notice everything that Mai Valentine DOES? I'm not the one worshipping the fucking ground she walks on, and I'm not the one following her around like a puppy! Why can't you just let it go? If she doesn't think she needs help, well she fucking doesn't! I remember it, but what if I don't WANT to? Why can't you just let her be happy?"
Oh damn, I never knew she had a back bone. This is amusing.~ Malik chucked to himself.
Jonouchi just stared at her. "Okay, whatever. I'm done with this."
"What a weak response." Malik said flatly.
Jonouchi glared at him. "Ishtar, just shut up."
"Kay." Malik sang.
Fucking hell. This asshole is so arrogant and annoying. Does he enjoy sitting here and watching us argue? Joey thought angrily.
"Whatever. Let's just wait here." said Jonouchi bluntly.
Yugi looked at Jonouchi sadly and wished there was something he could do for him. But he couldn't.
Meanwhile, at some place with Mai and Mariku.
"Okay, so what do you need me for?" Mai asked.
"Would you do me a favor?" Mariku asked bluntly.
"Huh? Why would I do anything for you, asshole. You should know that I'd never, ever do anything for you. Besides, why me? Why not anyone else?" Mai asked, intrigued.
"Well, why not?" Mariku responded.
"Look, you're taking up my time. You either give me a valid reason, or I'm not doing shit for you." Mai replied flatly.
"Ah, well. I wanted to help my friend. He has feelings for someone, but he won't admit it. So I need you to make him jealous by flirting with his hikari. Then maybe he can admit his feelings and they can get married and life happily ever after!" exclaimed Mariku.
He's insane.. Does he honestly think this will work?, thought Mai.
"Wait.. did you say hikari? So.. It's Ryou and Bakura, huh?" asked Mai.
"Smart girl." Mariku said.
"But why me though?" Mai asked.
"Because Anzu wouldn't do it. She'd think it would be.. evil or something. But you sound like you'd be okay with it, so I thought "Why the fuck not?" replied Mariku. Plus you're a whore. Wait, I'm not saying that. Might piss her off.
"Ah, I see. But what's in it for me? I'm not exactly gonna do this for free."
"I'll give you $20."
"Only $20?"
"Fine, $40."
"Deal."
"Then it's settled." Mariku smirked.
"Ah, but how will I make Bakura jealous anyways?" asked Mai.
"Well.. You could flirt and pet Ryou and then Bakura will get pissed off. Duh."
"Yes, I know that." Mai glared at Mariku. "But how will I get to flirt with him if he's always at home?"
"No worries. I'll just invite them to come with Malik and I. Then you can come along. Alone though, because even Yugi and his friends have some kind of brain in what they call a head. It could ruin a lot of things." Mariku replied.
"But what if they ask what am I doing there?"
"Shut up woman. I'll figure that out. I'll find you when I need you to come." Mariku asked irratatedly. Why was this woman questioning his ability?
"Okay. But you better give me the money after all of this."
"Don't worry, I will. You can go now." Mariku said.
Mai didn't reply, she just walked off to find her friends.
Wow, I didn't expect her to agree and help me. This is amazing.~ It's going to be perfect, thought Malik, feeling a smirk tugging at his lips. Before he went to find Malik, he swore he saw a lock of blonde hair sticking out of corner of a wall. Walls don't exactly have hair.
"Malik, come out of there. Why aren't you with Yugi and all those other people?" questioned Marik.
"Well, it was really awkward and angsty and weird.. So I came here. And well done on making Mai help you. One question though. Well, actually, two." said Malik, looking up at Mariku.
"Fire away." muttered Mariku contently, kissing Malik's forehead. Malik blushed a little.
"Um.. Are you actually going to pay her the money?" asked Malik.
"Well. If I didn't, she would just get pissed off and tell Bakura. Then he'll get pissed off at me and beat the shit out of me." Marik pouted. Malik giggled at the thought.
"Yeah. But um.. couldn't you have just controlled her with your Millenium Rod?"
"..Shit. Hikari! Why didn't you ask me this earlier? Now I'm gonna lose money! ..I mean. It wouldn't be as fun..?"
Malik laughed at his yami. "Mhmm."
Malik nuzzled his head against Mariku's shoulder. Mariku smiled at his hikari.
"Wait, what was the second question?"
"I just asked you." replied Malik.
"Oh right. Let's go home now, we have a lot of scheming to do." Malik said, before placing one last kiss on his Malik\'s head bfore heading home.eWehehehehehe Bakura and Ryou time. ouo
Bakura looked at the television, flicking through the channels boredly. There was never anything good on it, anyways. He swore he could have went through everything. Well, not everything. That would be too time consuming. Ryou, on the other hand was just content to be sitting next to his yami, even though his yami was getting more pissed off by the minute. Then he looked at his yami bashing the remote's buttons furiously. Ryou remembered what had happened last time. The television was stuck on the Disney Channel for a week.. He was not about to let that happen again!
"Um.. Yami. Could you be more gentle?" Ryou whispered.
"But, Yadonushi! There's nothing on the television anyways, so it doesn't matter if it gets stuck on some channel or gets sent to the blasted Shadow Realm!" Bakura growled.
"Bakura.. I was talking about the remote, not the television.." Ryou said.
"Oh. Well whatever! That doesn't matter anyways. I'll just steal another one.." muttered Bakura, continuing to flick through more channels.
"Well.. okay then.." Ryou sighed, frowning a bit.
Yadonushi looks upset. Ugh, I should fix this. What to do..
"Ryou.. I'm hungry." Bakura said. "Let's go make something?"
"Us?" Ryou asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Um.." No. "Yes." Bakura smirked weakly. At least I didn't smile..
"You don't seem to remember last time."
"Yadonushi, I'll try this time, I swear!"
Ryou gave in. "Well.. okay. I don't see why not. Just don't send anything to the Shadow Realm this time, 'Kura.."
"That's fine with me."
They went into the kitchen. Well, at least this isn't making yadonushi sad. I don\'t kno why, but I don't like it when he gets upset. This is such a weird feeling.. Okay, Bakura. Get over it and make whatever with Ryou. I swear I\'ll try nt to send anything to the Shadow Realm this time..
"So what are we going to make, anyways?" Ryou asked. Bakura nearly blushed at the sweet tone in his voice. Nearly. I'm the king of theives, god damnit!
"Um.. Steak?" Fuck yes. Steak.
"Sure, why not." Ryou took some steak out of the fridge and put it on the counter.
Yadonushi is actually pretty good at cooking..
"Oi, Yadonushi. Who taught you to cook?"
"Um.. My mother." Ryou's eyes watered at the thought of his mother, but tried to look away so Bakura couldn't see his tears.
Fuckfuckfuck! Why did I even ask? I should have known! Now he's crying. Fucking hell. Look at what you did.
"Yadonushi.." Bakura said, almost softly. Ryou noticed this. Why is he being so nice to me? Don't you usually call me pathetic? Ugh, Bakura. I can never tell what you're feeling..
"No, yami. It's okay, really." Ryou smiled sadly, then proceded to season the steak and put it on the frying pan.
I never noticed this, but Yadonushi is actually a very strong person. He deserves better than this. Ugh. Why am I even caring? Fuck. Okay, I need to stop worrying about myself for once, and cheer up yadonushi.. Just this once..
Bakura watched silently as he watched Ryou cook the steak and put it on a plate.
"Yadonushi, aren't you hungry?" asked Bakura, raising an eyebrow at the whitenette.
"No, don't worry about me. I'm not hungry." smiled Ryou. I don't know why yami is asking, but this is sweet of him, I guess..
"If you say so." said Bakura.
They, well, Bakura ate in comfortable silence. Even though they weren't talking, he always felt comfortable with yadonushi for some reason. After Bakura ate, he looked at his yadonushi.
"Yadonushi, what should we do now?" asked Bakura.
"I don't know.." Ryou said, puzzled. Why are we doing this?
Bakura frowned slightly. He looked outside. The sun was setting. In the eve of darkness there is light of extraordinary colors. Different shades of yellow, orange, purple and red. It\s actually kind of nice. This might make yadonushi happier!
"Oi, yadonushi, let's go outside?" asked Bakura. Wait, since when did I have to get permission to do this. Whatever, just go with it.
"Okay, sure, Bakura." Ryou looked confused, but he smiled at the same time.
This is a good sign, Bakura thought.
Bakura look Ryou's arm and opened the door, dragging him to a bench. Ryou looked at his yami, wondering why his yami was touching him. They sat down in silence and looked at the sun set. This is really nice. It's not often that yami does this.. scratch that, he never does this. Ryou smiled, he was going to remember this moment forever, no matter how cliche it sounded. He felt really warm inside..
Bakura was too focused on Ryou to even notice the sun set. Ryou looked really happy. His face was so innocent and he looked as happy as a sunny day, but sunny days don't last forever, so it made Bakura feel strangely warm inside at how he could make his yadonushi look this happy. Ryou was practically radiating happiness. I made him happy, and I feel.. proud? Is that what you call it? Bakura frowned. These emotions were so.. new to him. He wasn't sure if it made him happy or angry that yadonushi could make him feel.. weird by his happiness. Whatever. I should just take yadonushi to bed. It's getting late. Oh my god, taking yadonushi to bed? That sounds wrong? Imagine that.. Gah! Stop! You're not a hormonal teenager, you're 3000 years old.
"Oi, Yadonushi. It\'sgetting late. We should go to bed."
"Agreed." Ryou yawned. Oh my god, he's fucking cute. Okay, shut up now.
"Then let's g-" Bakura was interrupted when Ryou wrapped his arms around Bakura's waist and pulled him close. What is yadonushi doing?
"Thank you, Bakura." Ryou whispered.
Eh, fuck it. Bakura hugged the boy back, using one arm to stroke the boy's hair.
"No problem.. Ryou." Ryou blinked at Bakura calling him by his first name instead of yadonushi. This was surprising.
They went upstairs and laid on the bed.
"Kura.." whispered Ryou.
"Yes?"
"Well.. Thank you for making me happy today."
"Don't worry about it. I ..well. I feel the need to make you happy, so I will. I guess."
Ryou smiled. Bakura never told him about his feelings before.
"Goodnight, Kura."
"Goodnight, Ryou."
Ryou closed his eyes and smiled. He fell asleep quickly. Bakura, on the other hand, stared at his yadonushi. His breathing was deep and even, all the muscles on his face were totally at peace. Bakura laid there, watching his yadonushi's chest, rising and falling with each intake of air. Since when did I spend my time trying to make my yadonushi happy? Why did I even do this today? Fuck, whatever. If it makes him happy, I'll do it, since it seems to make me happy as well. That's not caring.. right? I'm just catering to my own emotions, I think. I'm not fond of my yadonushi, no matter what those two say. Ugh. I'm going to bed.
Bakura closed his eyes and tried to think of something other than Ryou. It wasn't exactly working though, because no matter what he thought about, like getting revenge on the Pharoah, strangling Mariku for his assumptions and steak, it didn't work. Because the more he tried to think about something besides Ryou, the more he actually thought about him. What kind of fucking logic IS this? Can't a 3000 year old spirit just go to sleep.. Just.. fuck. Whatever. Think about Ryou all you want, brain. I'm going to bed. No matter what you start to think.
Bakura closed his eyes and went to sleep.
