Cheese: Guess whose back?
A lot of people are going to hate me after they read this chapter.
Your only hint is…well, I sure hope that you guys like Deathshipping!
Malik: *narrows eyes* Cheese, what are you planning?
Cheese: *changing subject* Anyway, I'd like to give a HUGE shoutout to Earthluva, because she's nice and her reviews make me giggle for some reason (I really need to lay low on the sugar while reading fanfiction…). And yes, you may use that line.
I'd also like to thank MagicianOfDarkChaos, who gave me some good advice to improve the story. I'll try to follow it, but don't be surprised if I fail some more…
YuGiOh isn't mine (yet)!
It was raining hard.
Ryou opened his eyes to see nothing but the hard drops of water slamming onto the Earth.
After his eyes got used to the gray all around, he found out that he was sitting in the cemetery, leaned against the same tree that he was resting by when Malik had come and…
Ryou squeezed his eyes shut. He couldn't keep thinking Malik like this!
His expression loosened when he heard someone calling his name, "Ryou!"
Brown eyes gleamed in hope. Were the angels taking him back?
The happiness faded away, however, when he saw his father running towards him.
Oh.
The grown man gave his son a hug, "Ryou! There you are! You had me worried sick!"
Ryou asked in a whisper, disappointment seeping into his voice, "How long have I been gone?"
His father asked, "Don't you remember?" He shook his head, "I just fond you missing ten minutes ago and I assumed that you'd be here."
Ryou nodded, as if he understood, but really, he was just confused. So time hadn't passed at all since he had left?
His father led him to the car, "Come on, Ryou. Ms. Judo wanted to have an appointment with you immediately."
The boy's eyes widened a little. Ms. Judo was okay?
His father started the car and they began to drive to the house, "How about we visit your mother and sister after the appointment? Does that sound good?"
Ryou hugged his knees, looking straight ahead, "Father…they're dead, aren't they…?"
His father gave his son a surprised look. When did he find this out?
Ryou had put the pieces together in his mind. When Ms. Judo thought he was going crazy, she had mentioned to his father that mother and Amane were the angels. And the angels he met were those who had died…
After the dream, he had come to the conclusion that mother and Amane were, in fact, dead.
His father didn't speak for the rest of the ride home.
When they pulled into the driveway, Ryou saw Ms. Judo's small black car. He sighed with relief, happy that the therapist wasn't really sent to the Shadows.
He hopped out of the car happily, knowing that Ms. Judo had to believe him about the angels now.
Before he got inside, his father called out, "She's waiting in your room!"
Ryou sped upstairs and opened his door. Like his father had said, Ms. Judo was waiting there.
The red-head's eyes were closed as she smiled, "Hello, little Ryou."
The boy's smile faltered. Ms. Judo didn't speak like that.
Without opening her eyes, she walked over to the door and closed it.
Ryou questioned, a little scared, "Judy?"
She turned around and opened the normally brown eyes to reveal a shocking purple that was filled with lust.
Ryou, remembering those eyes too well, tensed up. Every fiber of his body was screaming at the top of its lungs, 'NO!'
The person who looked like Ms. Judo snapped their fingers and every single shadow that was in the room came to them and covered them. In a matter of seconds, they snaked off, revealing the person that Ryou wanted to see the least. "M-Mar-Mariku…"
The demon took a step forward, making Ryou take several steps back, "Little Human, I missed you. I can never get over how beautiful you are."
Ryou was completely petrified at first, and then he began to scream, "Father! Someone! Help me!"
Mariku found this funny, as he began to laugh. He said after he was done, "Poor little Human. Do you mistake me for a fool? I have put a magic spell on this room, so they mere mortals can't hear anything that is said in here. As for the angels, well…all they can do is watch."
The Human's breath was getting loud and raspy, "D-Don't hurt me…"
Mariku wrapped his arms around Ryou's waist, making the boy shiver in displeasure, "Little Human, I don't want to hurt you. I want to make you mine, is all."
Tears were streaming down the poor boy's face, "N-no…don't…"
Mariku forced Ryou onto the bed, "I'll make it gentle just for you, precious."
All the Human could do was cry as the demon forced his lips onto his, as Ryou's father read a book downstairs, wondering how the appointment was going.
"I am going to kill that demon with my own hands!"
Atemu attempted to get up, but he winced, so Yugi gently pushed him back down again.
The Pharaoh, though he couldn't get up, was still seething, his face red with anger.
Pegasus clenched his fists, "I can't believe that damn demon would stoop this low!"
Even Isis, who was the calmest of the three, had her head dipped and eyes tightly closed in anger.
Seth, who had joined this small meeting, said angrily, "I think that we should have an immediate attack on the demons!"
Isis gave him a soft look that a mother might give her child, "Your bravery is well known in both kingdoms, Seth, but we can't make rash decisions. Not now, at least. For all we know, maybe only Mariku knows about this."
Atemu looked at the nurse, "What do you suggest we should do, then?"
"I think we should bring Ryou back with us and let him stay."
There was a long silence. Yugi commented, "I think that's a good idea."
Seth lashed at him, "You don't have a say in these decisions!"
Atemu snapped, wrapping his arms around Yugi, "Leave him alone!" He said more calmly, "Yes, Isis, I think that is a good idea."
Seth glared at Yugi, as if it were his fault that the Pharaoh was mad at him, but he said, "Yeah, we don't want this happening again."
Pegasus sighed, "I need to apologize to the poor lad for sending him back. We must bring him back!"
So it was decided that the angels would bring Ryou back. What they hadn't decided, however, was who was going to tell Malik about what Mariku had done.
"I'll be back again tomorrow, little Ryou."
The boy didn't reply the fake Ms. Judo voice.
Ryou felt dirty. How could he let Mariku violate him like that? How did he get so weak? Ryou was scared, and even more scared of the promise of Mariku coming back again to steal even more of his innocence.
Brown eyes skimmed the room sadly. He forced down a wail of defeat, as Mariku's magic wasn't there anymore, and he didn't want his father to see him like this.
He suddenly looked at the window. He was on the second floor, so if he were to jump, he'd get pretty hurt…
Ryou swallowed his tears. Why shouldn't he jump? What was there to lose? Ms. Judo? Malik? His innocence? Even Bakura, who had shown a little bit of kindness before he was forced to leave…?
The pale boy sat on the window sill, staring at the rain.
Slowly, he slid off.
Bakura: Alright, Cheese is refusing to allow me or Malik to read this chapter at all. 'For her sake', she said.
Malik: Atemu? Can you tell us?
Cheese: Nope. I swore him to secrecy.
Atemu: She threatened to write Yami/Anzu fanfiction.
*shock*
Seth: You are heartless!
Cheese: Okay, guys, I've been thinking: the minor pairings (Atemu/Yugi, Joey/Seto, and Seth/Kisara) haven't really been that important recently, so should they get their own little chapter? I won't put up the next chapter until I get your guys's opinion, just so I can make the next chapter the minor pairing chapter.
Malik: So, you won't post another chapter until you get some reviews?
Isis: So you won't be posting another chapter for a couple of weeks.
Cheese:…!
Yugi: That was kind of mean…
Cheese: Reviews make me update faster!...you know, faster than usual…yes…
