"…" Speech
Anything in italics is direct thoughts (not general musings)
Summary: Ryou and Bakura are brothers and happily in love, despite Bakura's job, but another wishes to come in between the happy couple. How far will the other go to get Ryou? YAOI BXR MXR, bloody stuff (light) and violence
Warning: This story is totally yaoi. YUM!! N e ways, there is also violence and brutal killings (means lots of blood and gore). And incest is really big but oh well. If that is the kind of stuff that floats your boat then, read on! If not, well then, go away.
Disclaimer: I must sadly say that I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! but neither do you. HA!
luckycatshadow: I must apologize for this chapter. It's just a filler cause I'm still trying to figure out how to get to where I need to get in the story.
X.X.X.
Bakura's eye twitched, then twitched again. And then another twitch followed the first two. There he was, trying to make out with Ryou behind the school but Marik was determined to find Ryou and spend time with the boy. From Bakura's spot, pushing Ryou up against the school wall he could hear Marik's voice getting closer and closer. The older teen groaned faintly, resting his forehead against Ryou's for a moment before pushing himself a couple of feet away and crossed his arms. A moment later Marik rounded the corner, eyes lighting up at the sight of Ryou.
"Hey Ryou. I've been looking for you. I want to introduce you to some of my other friends. They're waiting in the cafeteria." Ryou turned to face Marik, a smile gracing his pale features. He didn't wait for Bakura, just started to walk away with Marik.
Bakura could feel his eye twitch again. He couldn't go after Ryou, this was the first time Ryou had ever had a friend and it was important to Ryou. But Ryou was Bakura's and no one else's. How dare Marik come and take what was rightfully Bakura's!
Ryou bounced lightly next to Marik, humming softly to himself. The teen couldn't help but feel excited that he could quite possibly be getting more friends. Japan was beginning to seem like the best place he had ever been.
Bakura leaned up against the wall and closed his eyes, he couldn't watch his brother just leave him like that. The older teen felt his heart beat in his chest, coming down from the euphoric joy he only felt when being with Ryou and killing someone.
X.X.X
"Hey guys, I want you to meet Ryou. Ryou, you already know Malik, the short starfish man is Yami, the even shorter starfish man is Yugi, the mutt is Jounouchi and that thing of ice is Seto." Ryou blinked at Marik's odd way of introducing his friends. And the teen found it a bit weird that Marik introduced Yami as being short when he was clearly taller than Ryou. He shook his head and offered Marik's friends a soft smile and a hesitant wave.
Bakura entered the crowded cafeteria, eyes adjusting to the bright harsh school lights. He scanned the swarming room, looking for a glimpse of white hair. He finally caught sight of his brother, seated at a round table next to Marik and a teen with hair that resembled a multi-colored starfish. They was also a person Bakura assumed to be Marik's brother and another starfish man, along with a blond monkey that looked vaguely familiar and a tall brunette.
The assassin strode through the cafeteria, people instinctively clearing the way, eyes lowered as the man pushed through the crowds. His shoes were silent on the tiled floor, his approach absolutely soundless.
Ryou felt a small smile grace his features at a corny joke Jounouchi had just told. In the space of a couple of minutes Ryou already felt like he knew these people so very well. Apparently Yugi and Yami were dating and it was obvious from the gazes Seto and Jounouchi shared they wanted each other. Seto was distant and cold, Jounouchi was goofy and clumsy, Yami was protective and obsessed with winning, and Yugi was polite and willing to share what he could with a smile. Ryou felt he could grow to accept these people as friends and possibly confidantes.
Ryou heard the fall of silence descend on the crowd nearby before he felt the presence at his back. He turned around and came face to face with his brother, anger smoldering in his crimson eyes. Ryou took no notice of it, instead letting a smile cross his face.
"Hey Bakura," the teen chirped eagerly. "Come to have lunch with us?"
Bakura couldn't help the small smile that crossed his face before he smoothed it away, replacing it with a stern visage. He couldn't help but smile at Ryou's innocence but at the same time he was disappointed and angry at Ryou's actions.
Ryou scooted over on the bench, making room for Bakura to sit down next to him, between him and Yami. Bakura scowled at the teens seated at the table, giving them a warning look before plopping down next to Ryou. The others at the table turned their curious eyes away from Bakura, flinching at his scowl.
Jounouchi was the first to break the silence that had fallen over the table. He let out a long, loud burp, causing Yami to groan in disgust and Seto to wrinkle his nose. After that conversation flowed easily around the table, however, whenever someone tried to ask Bakura a question he would just growl until the offending person turned away and left him alone.
All too slowly did the bell for lunch dismissal ring in Bakura's mind. The assassin shot to his feet, grabbing a hold of Ryou's arm and pulling him up with him. He forcefully pulled Ryou out of the cafeteria, oblivious to Ryou's good-bye waves. As soon as the pair left the cafeteria and were in a somewhat empty hallway Bakura seized hold of Ryou's shoulders and pinned him to a locker, none to gently.
"What the fuck was that Ryou?" Ryou winced from the harsh language Bakura used and the forceful manner of his speech, along with the way Bakura was harshly shoving his shoulders into the bank of lockers. He put up an unsteady hand, a sad attempt to block anymore of Bakura's harsh outburst.
"Kura, I don't know what you're talking about" Ryou protested half-heartedly, for he sort of knew what Bakura was ranting about.
"Don't give me that shit Ryou. You know exactly what the hell I'm talking about."
Ryou winced, struggling a bit to try and free himself from his brother's grip. "Kura, please, let go of me…you're hurting me."
Confusion sprang across Bakura's face before he realized that his fingers were cruelly curled around Ryou's shoulders and he was forcing his younger brother into the locker rather violently. As soon as realization hit Bakura he released Ryou, waving his hands in the air as if they had been burned. Ryou slumped away from the lockers, his shoulders drooping and his eyes caressing the floor.
Bakura felt sadness creep into his heart; he hated to see his brother miserable and depressed. "Ryou, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to and you know that. So stop with the pitiful act."
Ryou kept his eyes lowered to the floor and Bakura reached out with a hand, seizing his brother's chin in a gentle but firm hold. He raised Ryou's face up, and couldn't help the gasp that escaped when he saw the tears glistening in Ryou's chocolate eyes, threatening to escape at any moment.
'Ry, why are you crying hon?"
"Kura, how could you do this to me? After all I've been through because of you and can't even give me this one thing."
Bakura couldn't help but be confused. He had no clue what Ryou was going on about but the sight of his brother, tears flowing down his cheeks unabashedly made Bakura's heart twinge in sadness. He hated seeing his brother cry.
"Ry, hon, I don't know what you're talking about." Ryou continued to cry, tears flowing down in a stream. "Please Ry, don't cry. You know how much I hate it."
At that moment teens began to pour into the hallway where the two brothers were standing. Ryou took advantage of the crowd to slip away from his brother, pushing through the masses of students. Leaving Bakura standing behind with a dismayed and bewildered look on his face.
luckycatshadow: well, that's all I got for now. Like I said before, this is just a filler chapter. And in case any questions arise, you need to understand why Ryou is so sad. He practically worships Bakura as a god and Bakura is the only person Ryou has ever had to lean on. So when Bakura gets mad at Ryou, Ryou is sad because he wants to make whatever is wrong better for Bakura. But at the same time, Ryou just wants to have someone to call his friend, someone besides Bakura. So Ryou is in a bit of a conundrum right now, stick with his brother and lover, or take the first chance he has ever gotten to have a friend. Just thought I'd clarify that for you.
Sorry about the length, hopefully the next chapter is a bit longer.
