Bakura looked towards Ryou "Ryou…" he muttered, walking up to him "You don't have to tell them"

Ryou looked up at his brother and smiled sweetly "It's okay Kura, they told us their story, it's only fair we tell them ours"

Marik gave him a worried look "Ryou, you really don't have to, even if Melvin did say-"

"No!" Ryou quickly said "I'm choosing to do this" he looked up to Bakura, giving him a soft angelic look.

Bakura furrowed his eyebrows a bit and nodded.

Ryou looked towards the ceiling "Right…well the reason I'm so polite and Bakura was a kleptomaniac was because of one thing that happened in our childhood, one huge thing that changed our lives forever" Melvin rose an eyebrow

"How old?" he asked,

Ryou didn't look towards him, just stared at the ceiling "…nine" he replied.

Marik tilted his head a bit "What could have happened to the angel? He looks so sad, and only at nine too…it must have been really tragic for him to still remember it so clearly" Ryou moved his head down, facing the ground.

His eyes started to water and he smiled "You may not believe this but…when I was a child I used to be greedy, very greedy, if I wanted something I wouldn't stop asking or bugging someone until I had it…" Marik widened his eyes, even Melvin looked surprised.

Ryou's smile started to slowly fade away as certain memories started to flow back into his head "But…" he continued "…my greed, caused that life changing experience"

Bakura growled "Ryou it wasn't you! Stop thinking-"

"You're wrong!" Ryou shouted.

Marik jumped back a bit, partly because he was sitting right next to Ryou and partly because he had never heard the angel shout before.

Ryou's eyes started to overflow with tears "It was my fault! It was all my fault!"

Bakura growled louder "Ryou stop it! It wasn't! Oto san doesn't blame you for it! And neither would Oka san! There is no one to blame!" Ryou shook his head

"What about Amane?!" he yelled "She used to blame me for everything!" Marik looked towards Bakura expecting a response, but the pale teen looked frozen, eyes like glass, not moving an inch

"R-Ryou…she wouldn't, why would you…" his eyes started to quiver.

Marik widened his eyes, who was Amane? She must have been important to make Bakura give such a sad reaction.

Ryou put his hands into his lap, squeezing them "Amane was our little sister, she was only four when it happened"

Melvin straightened his posture and crossed his arms "What is it?"

Ryou looked up to Melvin, tears still flowing down his face "Well one day when I found out that the stores had a new Duel Monsters deck I really wanted it, I asked my Oka san, she said no. I kept asking her, bugging her, annoying her, until finally she said yes. She said we could go only if Amane came along, I agreed and asked Bakura if he wanted to come, but he said no. We got into the car and set off, driving normally, I was looking at a book in the back with Amane. I found this page and thought it looked really cool, so I held it up and asked Oka san to look at it, she said no because she had to look at the road. I really wanted her to see it and started whining, jumping around a bit. She finally said yes, turning around, and that's when it happened" Ryou's hands squeezed tighter, more tears falling down his face.

Marik gave him a sentimental look "Ryou, you really don't have to say it, we don't need to know"

Ryou cried even more and continued his story "The time I asked her to turn around was the time the light went red, she drove right past it, not noticing it and we…" he hesitated for a bit "…we got hit by a truck!" he started to sob "I was the only one that survived! The only one! Even through life and death I'm still greedy! I still get what I want! I still got to live! But Oka san and Amane didn't! All because of that stupid Duel Monsters deck I saw in some magazine!" he sobbed louder.

Melvin walked towards him and put a hand on his shoulder, comforting him.

Ryou put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a card, a Duel Monsters card.

Melvin looked at it with curiosity, Ryou smiled softly "It's the card Change of Heart, Amane gave it to me, not because I asked for it, but because she thought I should just have it, she never really did like it…"

Melvin looked down at Ryou with sorrow, the boy really did think it was all his fault "Ryou, pardon my asking but, how did this event turn Bakura into a kleptomaniac?" he asked.

Ryou put the card back into his pocket "Well, after the crash, I decided to change my ways, to no longer be a nuisance and Bakura…he could see that" Melvin rose an eyebrow

"How?"

Bakura leaned on the bed Marik was currently lying in, he looked at the floor "As I said before whenever Ryou wanted something he would look at it for a bit but then he would look away and walk on like he never saw it. One day when I saw that happen I decided I'd get it for him but I didn't have enough money so I…I stole it" a faint smile slowly appeared on his face "I thought it was fun to steal, like an adventure, so I stole something for Ryou again, then again, and again, and…well…you get the point"

Marik nodded "So you really were a kleptomaniac?"

the British teen sighed "Yeah, I had to go to the doctors and they put me in counselling, I didn't want to but they said it would help and after a few years, it did…"

Marik looked at everyone in the room, they all seemed to be sad, quiet, he wasn't the only one with terrible experiences, everyone in the room seemed to feel the same, everyone understood each other.

He smiled to himself, a warm feeling fluttering around in his stomach, Melvin may be his only real sibling, the only one blood related, but they were all family, the Touzoku twins and the Ishtar twins were family, this is the closest they have ever been, and hopefully they would get even closer.

Melvin looked to his younger twin "What are you smiling at Otouto?"

Marik shook away his thoughts and looked up "Nothing but…on the bright side at least we don't have anything to hide from each other now, and I'm pretty sure I'll be getting out of here soon"

Bakura smiled "Yeah I guess, but I wouldn't mind having a shower"

Marik twitched his nose "Is that what that smell was?" Melvin and Ryou both laughed.

Bakura's cheeks tinted pink "Why you ungrateful…the only reason I smell is because I spent two days straight sitting next to you!"

Marik started laughing "Oh come on BB lighten up! I was joking!"

Bakura frowned "Shut up Blondy! You smell just as bad!"

Marik stopped laughing and looked at Bakura with disbelief "What?!"

Melvin chuckled "Come on you two knock it off, maybe we should just tell the doctor Marik's awake and get him out of here" the four nodded and started to walk out.

As Bakura started walking out the door Marik yelled "Wait! BB!"

Bakura stopped and turned around "What?"

Marik looked down to the covers, his cheeks heating up "…thanks, for staying by my side I mean…"

Bakura smiled "No problem" he walked out the door, closing it behind him.

Bakura walked down the hall, a big smile still on his "That stupid Blond" he thought to himself.


Awwww BB, you're such a sweetie! I seemed to have made Melvin pretty polite in this chapter, it seems strange doesn't it? Anyway thanks for reading! Next chapter will be out next Wednesday! Maybe...I might not have time so it might come out on Saturday or Sunday...
