Chapter Eleven: Angry is the Demon
Bakura gasped as Dartz reached forward and placed his large claw-like hands on his sides, dragging the silverette reaper from his sticky prison against the walls.
Dartz brought Bakura up into the air and stared into his eyes, considering Dartz was about 10'8" and Bakura was a good five feet shorter than the demon was.
"Listen boy, I offer you a chance of a life time," Dartz said in his snickering tone. "I'll give you a chance to fufill your desires, your dreams, your destiny!" the greenette demon snickered.
He brought Bakura close enough so that Bakura could feel the demon's heated breath against his face.
It was like breathing in a flame. It burned Bakura's lungs as the man's breath moved into his face and caused Bakura to inhale it as if it were his own breaths.
Bakura listened as Dartz snickered.
"Join me, and together with your step-brother, we can control that beast you have created, and use it to control the whole Underworld with an iron claw!" he shouted.
Dartz turned to see Ryou and smirked.
"And best of all, you get to see Ryou again. I know you have just barely realized your feelings for him. But just as you realized how much you truly loved him, Heaven came and took him away. How ironic. You want him back? You want the most powerful abilities in the Underworld? They're yours!" Dartz yelled.
He snickered to himself again.
"Surrender your powers to me, and I'll give them back ten-fold. I'll make you more powerful than your parents. Than your godfather, the greatest warrior in the universe, even!" he shouted,
Dartz then brought Bakura close to his body and locked eyes with the silverette Reaper. Bakura gulped. There was a price attatched with this horrible little offer.
There always was.
Dartz placed Bakura on the ground right next to Ryou. Bakura glanced over at his step-brother in fear. Ryou was different. His aura, his scent, his feel, it was all different.
"All I ask..." Dartz trailed off and turned to Bakura. "Is that you pledge your undying love and loyalty to me. Be... like a son to me, and do anything that I ask of you," the man said with a smirk.
Ryou slowly went up to Bakura and leaned against his chest, his red eyes shining. He reached forward and touched his fingers to Bakura's lips, brining himself close to his step-brother.
"My soul is yours, Bakura," Ryou whispered.
Bakura backed up slightly, Ryou still holding him close. "Uhhh.... Ryou? Are you, um... feeling okay?" he asked quietly. Ryou leaned himself forward and touched Bakura's lips again.
"Neither Heaven nor Hell may take me, Bakura. You're the only one who can have my soul," the silverette whispered, his dull red eyes flashing bright for a second.
Mahado brought his head forward from his sticky prison.
"Don't be fooled by the Devil's temptation, young reaper!" the archangel shouted. "If you do fall for such a trick as this, then there will be grave conciquences to pa-"
BAAAM!!!!
Mahado shut his mouth in pain as Yugi slammed an iron with the word "STFU" engraved in the side. Yugi's mouth was still drawn into his emotionless line as he did this.
Dartz grinned.
"Thank you, sweetie. Angels like him really need to learn to keep their mouths shut. Now, where was I? Ah, yes. Your decision, my darling boy. What will you choose?" he asked, turning to Bakura.
"Uh..." Bakura trailed off and rubbed the back of his head. "Thanks for the offer, but I really just came here for my step-brother back. As for the power thing, no thanks.
"No?" Dartz blinked. "You surprise me there. Didn't you want to be as powerful as your father? As your godfather, Seto Kaiba?" the demon asked quietly.
Bakura waved his hand.
"I've been there, done that," he said waving his hand again. Ryou laced his arms around Bakura's neck and snuggled into his neck, holding him as close as he could.
Dartz blinked and grinned.
"Oh, that's correct. You have already tasted that power. Was it good? How did it feel taking revenge on that creature and tearing it limb from lim for hurting your brother? Did it feel good?" he asked.
Bakura shrugged again slightly.
"It was... uhhh, not what I expected. It wasn't exactly my thing. So, if it's all the same, I'll just take Ryou and go back home," he said, blinking innocently and glancing nervously at Ryou, still hanging off his neck.
"You will not!" Mahado flared up angrily.
Bakura and everyone glanced over at Mahado, who was flailing around the sticky prison that Bobasa had forced him into. The archangel narrowed his eyes angrily.
"His soul belongs to the kingdom of Heaven!" he shouted. "I'll be turned into a Hell angel before I allow him to return to that cesspool you call a home! In fact, seeing you act this friendly and close just sickens m-"
BAM! WHACK! CRACK!
Again, Yugi slammed metal irons and pots with words such as "STFU", "Fag", "Moron", "Man-Whore", "Slut", and "Mother Fucker" written on the sides of them.
"So... uhh... No hard feelings?" Bakura asked.
Dartz smirked. "No, my dear boy. No hard feelings at all. It was your choice, after all," the greenette demon said with a small snicker.
Bakura nodded and then glanced over at Ryou, who was still clinging to him. "Uhh... Do you think you can lift whatever spell you have on Ryou 'cuz he's starting to freak me out," he said.
Dartz grinned evilly.
"A spell? Oh, no, dear boy. I would never use such mediocre tricks. Ryou is merely acting as his true nature is," he explained, waving his hand at the silverette.
"Even if he is sweet and innocent, he too has his demons. There are seven sins. Pride, envy, wrath, gluttony, sloth, greed, and let's not forget, lust," Dartz hinted towards Ryou.
Bakura gulped as he saw the look in Ryou's eyes.
Lustful.
"Yes, I merely let his demon take control. It seems he doesn't think of you as his step-brother. He thinks more of you. Isn't that just so precious?" Dartz snickered.
"But I am certain you have known that since you inherited his powers. The way he wants you to know how he feels abou you. The torment it causes him! It's wondeful! But, isn't there another side of him you'd like to see? Ever wonder what he'd be life if he were truly... angry?" Dartz asked with a smile.
Yugi glanced over and his eyes flashed bright crimon.
Bakura gagged suddenly as Ryou's hand slammed around his throat. He glanced up and whispered Ryou's name as he saw Ryou's eyes glow bright crimson similar to Yugi's.
Dartz smirked.
"Scary, ain't he? He really does have his mother's charm and his real father's temper," he snickered.
Ryou swung a knife at Bakura. Bakura yelped and fell back. Ryou dropped the knife in anger, his voice growling. He forced a scythe up from the ground and grabbed it up.
"YOU!!" he roared at Bakura.
Bakura squeaked in horror as Ryou jabbed his finger and the tip of the scythe towards his neck. Bakura shuddered as Ryou closed in on him and narrowed his eyes.
"You are the only one who never appreciated anything that I do! I've been trying to get you to like me for years, and you hate me for it! All I want is for you to love me! IS THAT SO MUCH TO FUCKING ASK!?!?" he roared.
"Yikes! Ryou!" Bakura yelled. "You can't be pissed over this!" Bakura shouted.
"Is there someone else besides me!? It's that boy with the hockey mask and the machete, isn't it!?"
"Can't we talk this over?"
"I'LL KILL YOU!!"
Bobasa, who had been busy watching the fight, glanced over desperately at Dartz, who was staring at the fight with a big grin on his face. The egyptian man shuddered.
"Can't you do something!?" he shouted.
Dartz shook his head slowly. "Can't be done," he said. "This is a family matter. I would really rather not get involved in this little triffle of a matter, and neither should you," he scolded Bobasa.
Bobasa gulped and sighed.
Bakura groaned as Ryou slammed the scythe against his neck and he tried holding it back. There was nothing the little reaper could do. He couldn't forced Ryou backwards.
/Heh heh. Need some help, little reaper?/
'W-who is this!?' Bakura shouted back at the voice in his head.
/It's me, Bakura. Marik Ishtal./
'Marik! It's you!? What are you doing in my head? Well, it doesn't matter! You've got to help me! Ryou's gone insane!'
/Well, I can see that. I am a part of you, idiot. I think this is quite interesting. But I believe I know a way you can bring him back to his senses. You can just give him what he wants./
'Give him what he... What the Hell does that mean!?'
/I believe you know what he wants./
'W-what!? I can't do that! He's my brother!!'
/Step-brother. Still, I don't really think you have too much of a choice here. It's a long shot, but it might calm him down, or maybe even revert him to his normal self. I don't see what you have to lose. It's better than getting your head chopped off./
'This is crazy! You're crazy! My brother is crazy! Are all parasite demons this crazy!?'
/He's crazy about you, dearie! Now... pucker up, and give him some love, Bakura! Go on, you can do it!/
Bakura closed his eyes and grabbed Ryou's shoulders before bringing him forward. He wasn't sure of what to do or think, so he just closed his eyes and brought himself forward.
He slammed his lips against Ryou's lips and moaned loudly in pleasure as he did so.
Yugi stared blankly, his eyebrow raising slightly. Bobasa covered his mouth and looked away in embarrassment. Dartz merely watched with interest, and Mahado glared venomously.
Bakura kept his lips locked against Ryou's when he heard Ryou drop the scythe. 'This is so wrong, but it feels right...' he thought in embarrassment, still lip-locking Ryou.
Bobasa blinked as Yugi walked over and stood next to him.
"That was unexpected. Are they really related to one another by marriage? Or are they blood relatives?" he asked. Yugi glanced over at Bobasa, looked back at the two silverettes and then shrugged.
After a while, he drew away, shuddering.
'That was soooo wrong... I can not believe I just did that,' he thought for a few moments, his face turning pale red.
Ryou moaned softly and opened his eyes, having them transform back into their normal pale brown color. His clothing transformed back into the white angel tunic that he was wearing when he became an angel.
His wings, however, were not there, but his anklet was back on.
Ryou moaned and glanced up at Bakura. "'Kura...?" he whispered. He then remembered what had happened and blushed. "IYAAAAGH!!!!" the silverette cried out.
Bakura glanced over and felt Ryou slap him hard across the face.
"What forbidden act hast thou bestowed upon thy brother!?" Ryou shouted loudly, his face turning bright crimson in embarrassment. Bakura rubbed his cheek and glared at the silverette.
"Hey! You almost chopped my head off, you were so pissed!" he accused. "I suffer through that, give you what you want the most from me, and this is the thanks I get!?"
Ryou blushed bright crimson in embarrassment.
"'Kura, you disgust me! Heaven weeps for the day most horrid that I think such perverted thoughts! Thou hast implied something so foul betwix us twain!" he yelled. "I think of you as my dear brother and nothing more!" Ryou said, his voice betraying and denying his true thoughts.
"What!? You do not!" Bakura snapped, his face heating up bright red in embarrassment as Ryou's had done moments before. "You think of me like a boyfriend or something!"
"Oh, well I never-"
"Yes you do!"
"I do not!"
"Do to!"
"Do not!!"
"You need therapy!"
