I'm going to start doing the review feedback thing like some people do (or whatever you call it XD)
UnknownDarkMystery
: I've read some stories where Amane looks nothing like Ryou, but it's just so much cooler when they look alike! Thank you for the review!Mandy925892002
: Yay! Thank you so much for another review! I was debating on whether to make Marik or Malik go nuts, and it just seemed better with Marik for some reason…Browneyedalbino
: Yes, they are twins (Amane is the younger twin). Thanks again for the site, and thanks for the review!StormySkys
: I think I'll definitely put him on a coffee high again, it seemed to get really good responses! As for Amane, it's amazing how much can happen in such a short time! Thanks for reviewing!Shadowstalker666
: My school started back on Tuesday, but half of my teachers gave out tons of homework, and I didn't do it until last minute… In fact, I did some of it at school in History (that's all that class is good for…). Thank you for reviewing!Dark Magician Girl Hikaru
: Quite a lovely surprise for her, huh? As for Malik's reaction, it probably couldn't be helped. Seeing a female version of Ryou would be a bit shocking . Thanks for the review!………..
Once everything had been explained, Amane appeared a little frustrated that three weirdos had moved in while she was gone, but other than that she seemed fine. She shrugged it off and asked Ryou if they were assigned any homework over the week (she was also in Ryou's class). He nodded and let her borrow his books, and she promptly set off to her room to work.
When her bedroom door clicked shut, Marik and Bakura headed for the kitchen with Malik and Ryou close behind them. Bakura shuffled through the cabinets, looking for a quick fix for his hunger and Marik began making sandwiches for himself and Malik. Ryou, though, wasn't hungry at the moment.
They all sat down at the kitchen table and were chatting about whatever popped into their heads, when Malik asked an awkward question. "Hey, Ryou, you… said you loved us, right?"
The angel glanced up innocently. "What?"
"This morning, before you freaked out over Amane. You said you loved us." Ryou sat up and placed his hands against the seat of the chair between his legs, propping his feet up on the legs of the chair.
"I… suppose I did… Why?" His face flushed a bit.
"Well… you wanna make it official?" Malik offered. "You know, go out with us? I'm not kidding either. We all really want that."
"You do?" Ryou whispered.
In all his years of life, there had been a lot of girls who swooned over him. He was such a cutie, how could anyone resist? But, those girls hadn't ever talked to him, gotten to know him. They had never been to his house. They had never loved him for more than his looks. They had definitely never touched him. Malik, Marik, and Bakura had done all of those things. They had only known him a couple of days, but they had grown closer to him than anyone ever had!
Ryou had three of the world's most attractive teenagers after his heart. They were each so unique and interesting, and they were perfect in Ryou's eyes.
And they wanted him.
"I… don't know what to say…" Ryou's eyes met the floor as his milk chocolate eyes swelled and stung. "No one's ever…" He glanced back up, staring at each of the demons with watery spheres, and his voiced cracked. "What do I do?"
The question wasn't some cute joke. Little Ryou really didn't know what choice he should make, so he decided to put his fate in the hands of the other teens.
Malik stood and walked to Ryou's side of the table. The Egyptian circled his arms around Ryou's shoulders and hugged the boy gently. "Ryou, we love you. Really we do. We will never betray you. You know that, don't you?"
Ryou nodded slowly into Malik's chest. "But… what now?"
"Now," Bakura said, "you say 'yes', and it'll become real." Marik gave a smile, one that looked kind, an awkward look for Marik.
"So, will you go out with us, angel?" he asked again.
Ryou was unable to hold back the river of tears that begged to be let free. He hugged Malik's waist tightly, sobbing into his stomach. "Yes. Y-yes, I w-will…"
As the three demons went to their angel's side and comforted him, Amane pressed silently against the wall outside the kitchen. She couldn't believe what she just heard, but for her dear brother's sake, she'd keep quiet about it.
…………….
"RYOOOOOU!"
Amane's scream hit a 4.5 on the Richter scale, scaring her twin and Malik clear out of their skins. The Egyptian, who had been stealthily rubbing his foot up Ryou's leg under the kitchen table, nearly fell out of his chair as the femme albino slammed a fist down in front of him.
"Which one did it!" she interrogated furiously.
"Amane, what are you talking about?" Ryou sheepishly asked. She whipped her eyes toward him.
"One of your bastard friends ate my Cheetos!" she screamed like is was a federal offense of some sort.
"Yeah, Bakura finished them off. So what?" Malik explained, cocking an eyebrow at her. She shot forward and gathered a fistful of his lavender tank-top in her quivering fist.
"I do not, under any circumstances, go one day without Cheetos. Period!" She released his shirt and exited the kitchen to find Bakura. Malik's eyes followed her until she left sight.
"Ryou…"
"Sorry," the little Bristish boy apologized. "I forgot to warn you about her little… problems."
"Problems? As in more than one?" Malik leaned closer to Ryou. "She's not addicted to Twinkies too, is she?" His eyes had dilated in slight fear. Ryou's little sister was scarier than Isis!
"Why, did you eat those?"
Malik gave a small laugh, and his chair's legs squealed against the tile floor as he scooting closer to Ryou. "Aheh… Seriously, though, she's not going to kill me right?"
"No, the Twinkies are mine, but Bakura won't be so lucky. Amane gets very possessive sometimes--even if it is just a bag of Cheetos."
As if on cue, there was a loud chorus of thuds and slams, and the two teens rushed into the living room. Upon their arrival in the large room of the two-story apartment (AN: we're just gonna say that Ryou and Amane have a damn good apartment…) they found Bakura lying at the foot of the stairs, his arms and legs sprawled out around him. His pupils had turned to tiny dots, and he resembled a scrunched up starfish.
Malik leaned over his British boyfriend, tossing him a questioning look. Bakura's voice suddenly gained a high-pitch and freaked out tone as he screamed, "That little bitch pushed me down the stairs!"
Marik, who was stretched out on the couch watching Inuyasha, glanced over to the screeching teen and frowned. He hadn't heard a word of what had been said in the kitchen, and he could've sworn Bakura had just gone upstairs to get on Ryou's computer. He had no idea what was going on! "Why? Did you try to rape her?"
"MARIK!" Ryou yelled, grabbing an empty box of Pocky from the end table and chucking it at the offending Egyptian.
"No!" Bakura yelped. "She just busted down the door, screamed out some retarded battle cry, chased me down the hall, then shoved me down the stairs!"
"You looked friggin' hilarious on the way down too!" Amane growled from the top of the stairs. "Now go buy me more Cheetos!"
The room was silent for a moment until Bakura piped up again. "You sent me flying for a bag of Cheetos! I can't feel my ass!"
"No!" Marik suddenly whimpered, peeking over the arm of the couch. "You need that! For your sake and mine!"
Amane held a hand over her mouth, gasping. "Ew! Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew! I didn't want to hear that!" She covered her ears. "Now just shut up and go get my Cheetos!"
"I would, but someone threw me down a flight of stairs!" Bakura yelled back, unable to get up.
Ryou and Malik slowly walked to Bakura's side and helped him stand. He didn't appear to be hurt too badly… Ryou gave a relieved sigh, amazed that the demon was okay. Then, he turned his attention to his sister. "Amane, you can't ever do that again! Bakura could've really been hurt!"
"But, Ryou, he's--and they're--" Her eyes began to tear up a little as she began her descent to the living room. When she reached the bottom of the stairs, large watery blobs had formed at the edges of her chocolate eyes. "Why did this have to happen…? Why are you leaving me big brother? Why them?" Her lips trembled violently.
"Amane, you--" Ryou cut himself off as he realized what she was upset about. "You know, don't you? About us?"
"I… heard everything."
"Amane, please try to understand--" Amane cut him off that time.
"I do understand. You… love them. I know that can't be helped, but… I'm sorry!" At that she turned on her heels and ran down the hall to her room. Ryou heart grew cold, and he glanced at his boyfriends. Malik gave him a small nod, and the angel took off after his twin. He only prayed he could make things right!
……….
