Melancholy Perfection
Chapter 8: Demon
A/N:
Marik: drivenbyrevenge doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh or anything associated with it, except me, and a heap of other YGO boys.
Driven: ^.^ Yay! -huggles-
Hikari still in his arms, Yami looked down, feeling slightly guilty.
"I'm sorry, Yugi…"
Yugi frowned, he still felt slightly lightheaded, "Huh? Why?"
"I shouldn't take advantage of you like that…I shouldn't be so rough with you. I got carried away."
Yugi blushed, "Yeah, you did but…it was kinda sexy…"
Yami smiled a little, "Well I'm glad you thought so…I just want everything we do together to be an act of love, not lust, I…wasn't thinking straight when I did it and I shouldn't have been so aggressive."
Yugi looked up at Yami and smiled, "Atem, everything we do is an act of love, because you're my Dark and I'm your light, it's like you always say, we're entwined, like the yin and yang. Anyway, I enjoyed it…"
Yami squeezed Yugi close and mumbled into his shoulder, "You really are my little, Angel…"
"No matter how bad I feel, you always make me know everything will be okay. I'm sorry for getting so angry, Atem. Sometimes I expect too much of you, and I get mad at you for little things, while you're so patient with me…I know you want what I do and I know we'll make everything better, but you're right when you say we have to be patient, I'm sorry for being so childish."
"Yugi-babe, you don't need to apologise," Why would you ever need to apologise, my darling? Anything you do is absolutely fine, I owe you too much for you to apologise to me. You forget that you're my life source and that you saved me.
Yugi just smiled and leaned back on Atem's chest.
"How was school, Angel?"
"I passed my biology exam…" Yugi smiled, quite proud of himself.
Atem smiled and kissed his cheek, "I knew you would."
XXXXXXX
(The next day)
Yugi and Yami walked in from school, Crash in tow, whom they'd picked up from his primary. Crash was bouncing around manically spouting about how he'd beaten another kid at Duel Monsters. Yugi hi-fived him, but was distracted, as was Yami. Ryou hadn't been at school and they were both worried.
When Crash was sick of bragging he ran off to his room to play. Yugi grabbed some juice from the fridge and poured himself a drink. He leaned against the bench and drank it. Yami sighed, grabbing an apple from the fruit bowl and leaned next to him. They both stared at the tiles, eventually Yugi sighed, "You reckon Ryou's okay?"
"No…I have a very bad feeling…I think we should contact him."
"On it," Yugi mumbled, taking out his phone and sending a txt.
Hey Ryou. Are you okay? Just checking up.
~Y.
No reply. They waited. Yugi poured himself another glass of juice, drank it…they kept waiting.
"Maybe he doesn't have his phone on him…" Yugi shrugged.
"Call it, then he'll have to answer," Yami bit his lip, worried, he knew something was wrong.
Yugi nodded and called Ryou's number. Ring, ring, ring…ring, ring, ring…
"Yugi! I…I don't know how it happened, it…it just happened so fast, I…crap it hurts just, please come to my place…."
Yugi gritted his teeth, "Are you alright, Ryou?"
No answer, the line went dead.
Yugi put the phone in his pocket and grabbed Yami's hand, in silence they ran to Ryou's.
The door was unlocked so they went straight in.
"Y…Yugi…" Ryou was standing in the hall, slumped against a wall…
He had a bruise on his cheek and looked dizzy and very disorientated.
"Where is he?" Yami glared waiting for Bakura to come out.
"He, took over my b…ody this morning and somehow injured my head, I came to about two hours later, and…I…I'm scared…"
Yugi frowned, "Here," He grabbed Ryou, who was taller than him, and helped him to the lounge. Yami looked at Ryou, there was a fresh bruise on his cheek, but that wasn't the worst part, he was bleeding from the back of his head, but it wasn't deep, the look on his face was the worst part, he looked so terrified.
"I can't get away from him…" Ryou said, almost in tears. Yami went to the kitchen and started making hot chocolates.
Yugi played with his puzzle, "Ryou, can you try and explain everything again?"
"Uh, well. It was about 8:30 and I was getting ready, Dad's out of town for a week by the way. I got this horrible feeling…urgh almost like my soul was being ripped away from me, as he took my body, I always get that feeling when he takes over. I blacked out, because he completely supressed my spirit, when I woke it was about 11 and I was on the floor, covered in bruises, I went to my bedroom, but I couldn't stay awake, I just felt so tired…and now, I don't know where he is…"
"Isn't he in the Millennium Ring?"
"Well, Yugi, if Yami isn't in your puzzle, can you tell by just holding it?"
"Uh, yeah."
"So can I, and right now, he is not in the ring…"
Yugi swallowed nervously, "Then…where could he be?"
Suddenly they heard a smash. Yugi rushed to the kitchen. Yami was on the floor, unconscious, hot chocolate spilt around him, no one else in the room. Yugi rushed over and kneeled by his Yami, "Atem! How did this happen?"
Behind him a mocking voice laughed, "Yes, I wonder how…"
Yugi turned. It was Bakura, it couldn't be anyone else. He had hair like Ryou's except for two extra pieces sticking out, he was wearing a loose blue and white striped shirt under a trench coat and long pants. He was next to an open kitchen drawer. He sadistically used one hand to tap a creepy tune on the bench, and in the other he held a knife, one used for gutting fish.
With Ryou injured and dizzy in the lounge room and his usual protector sprawled on the floor, Yugi bit his lip, clenched his fists and readied himself for whatever Bakura was about to do.
A/N:
Marik: I hear your wifi is being a bitch.
Driven: Yup. -_-
Marik: Ah, don't worry, I'll get it back by rearranging its sock drawer, later. (YGOTAS REFERENCE FTW!)
Review please and yes, that was my sad attempt at a cliff hanger. =)
