Bakura hummed happily as he waited for Mariku. Malik, dumb man that he was, told his lover that they would meet in town square an hour later than they were supposed to. Malik kept glancing at Bakura wearily as the latter continued to hum and not rage over Maliks mistake, plainly put it was freaking him out a little.
Unnn Bakura? Malik slowly called the others attention. Bakura turned to him half listening, half in his own world. He had a small smile on his face, one Malik hadn t really ever seen before. He gave a short grunt of acknowledgment. W-well, I was wondering why you re in such a good mood? Bakura blinked before his face twisted into a creepy knowing Cheshire cat grin. He chuckled darkly and looked away. Malik shivered, What s with you? You re too happy, it s like you got- Oh my Ra Malik s face went tomato red. My baby boy has grown up, He muttered shivering. He heard Bakura cackling at him and frowned at the wild haired male.
So how was he? Malik asked curiously.
Bakura snorted and waved his hand. I don t fuck and tell Malik, He said. And I certainly wouldn t tell you how he was if I did. Malik pouted and crossed his arms. I told you when me and Mariku did it for the first time and I- I didn t WANT to know, Malik, Bakura spat. You decided to tell me even after I told you to shut up. The blonde s expression didn t change, his frown in a running competition with Bakuras. Until Mariku came running up with a wide grin and waving arms, he latched himself to Malik instantly and kissed the shorter blond passionately. See? That s what I mean. Do. Not. Want! Bakura emphasized. About time you got here. Let s go get you re cousin. XXxXx
Akefia found Ryou in his little brother s kitchen, this time the young moon spirit had the decency to put on a pair of jeans. He leaned against the doorframe, folding his arms and smiled as the boy poured a cup of tea. Not wanting the other to spill his tea everywhere when he turned to find Akefia there he decided to make his presents knows. Good morning Ryou, He greeted softly. Ryou did jump a little, but turned around successfully without covering himself in beverage.
Ryous eyes widened and so did the grin when he recognised the tall Egyptian. Good morning, Akefia, he sang happily. He strolled over into the living room and ushered the taller to follow and sit at the table.
Akefia frowned, watching Ryou walk and saw he was hiding a limb, a painful limp. He sat down opposite to Ryou and rest his elbows on the table, leaning in. So, tell me why you have a limb? He asked.
Ryou blinked stupidly and then his face went red. I-i well we, I mean I- He stumered, taking a deep calming breath and faced the calmly waiting Akefia. Well, last night Bakura and I made love. The white haired Egyptian blinked stupidly now.
Oh I m sorry if that makes you uncomfortable, Ryou gusted, worried the other was disgusted.
Why would it make me uncomfortable? I already approved of your relationship with him, Akefia chuckled. Idiot I would appreciate it if you would let me eh-hem, see if he hurt you, he said, a light dust of pink forming on his face.
Ryous face however doubled in its red hue and it looked like the kid was ready to faint. Oh, uh I don t know I think it s a little inappropriate for me to show you those parts. Akefia snorted. One; I ve already seen you re naked body and two; - if you keep this a secret- I work with this kind of stuff. I highly doubt anyone knows, but I am a doctor and I well known one too, He said, he d never actually told anyone before. So don t worry, as they say trust me, I m a doctor. You re a doctor? Ryou tilted his head. I thought you d be a writer or something because you re always reading books. Akefia smirked, Yeah, a quarter of those are medical and the other three quarter are erotica. Eh? Ryou took a sip of his tea and choked. I heard that a limp after your first time is natural, so why would you need to see? Well, if it was normal you wouldn t have shaking thighs constantly, I looked at your toes and they were twitching too. You re overly flushed even before you noticed I was here- that tells me you re really not comfortable with even siting, I bet laying down still hurt. The small white haired boy gave the Egyptian a lop-side grin and shifted. After much arguing and insisting Akefia finally managed to have Ryou laying on his stomach, a clear view of his rear to the taller man. So, uh Ryou squealed as his hips were raised so he rested on his knees.
It s a bit tared, Akefia said. Just give me a minute. What? Why? Ryou called trying to twist around. What are you- Stop moving! the older spirit barked. Ryou shivered in anticipation to pull his pants back on but Akefia held him still and did what it was he was doing. There all healed. Ryou sat up on the bed. What do you mean? Oh it doesn t hurt. How did you do that? Doctor, He pointed at himself. I have healing abilities, hence why I m such a great physician. Oh, so that s you re power, Ryou smiled slipping off the bed and pulling his pants back up. There really was no more pain, it was like nothing had happened. Mmm-hmm~ Akefia hummed proudly.
Would would you like to stay for lunch? Ryou asked, a slight blush rising on his cheeks.
Akefia nodded.
XXxXx
Heeey~ a voice like Maliks called. It was smoother and less raspy. The two blondes and Bakura turned to the airport-waiting bay where a male that looked so much like Malik came running at them waving his arm about.
Namu! Malik squealed and flung himself at his cousin and embraced him. It s so good to see you~ You too, The new Egyptian- Namu- said. His hair was the same only not as puffy, his eyes more shaped like Ryous and his fashion sense more docile. He wore a pair of black jeans and a light blue sweater and a duffle bag over his shoulder.
Hello, He greeted Mariku and Bakura. It s good to see you Mariku and to finally meet you Bakura, Malik talks about you a lot. His sweet smile coursed the sides of Bakuras lips to twitch in a smile.
Nice to meet you too, Namu, Bakura nodded to the man.
Namu, Malik snickered elbowing the other. He has a boyfriend now. The cousin s eyes widened. What? Since when? A while back, sorry I forgot to tell you, Malik laughed at the crest-fallen blonde.
Bakura and Mariku laughed and the four filed into Mariku s black Chevy. Mariku and Bakura in the front and Namu and Malik in the back, the group chatting and as usual insulting on the ride home.
Namu sighed and leaned against his cousin, closing his eyes. I hate planes, they re so tiring. No, you ve just got jet leg, Malik laughed.
Hm, Namu nodded.
Hey don t fall to sleep! Bakura called twisting around in his seat. Idiot, he s just like you Malik. HEY! Shut up, you re so loud, Namu growled.
Bakura raised an eyebrow and smirked. Well, he s a little smarter. Laughing at Maliks pissed off face he turned back around and slumped in his seat. So, Namu how s Egypt lately? Oh~ it s been good. No fights and nothing out of the ordinary, Kul Unla your hometown in still the same, Namu mumbled. He didn t feel Malik tense under him at the words Kul Unla and yawned. Your house still hasn t been touched in all these ten years. How lovely, Bakura growled.
NEW TOPIC! Mariku shouted, swerving into a new street. There s a great coffee shop near by our house, Namu. Maybe we ll take you there sometime. That would be nice, Malik nodded in agreement. No answer from Namu, so Malik looked down to see him sleeping on his shoulder. Rolling his eyes he carded his fingers through the blonde hair softly. Bakura, are you okay? Yes, I still don t like any mentioning s of home, the white haired male sniffed.
Malik just smiled at Mariku through the rear view mirror.
xXxXx
It s 6: 45 and the two white haired males sat on the sofa pigging out on delivered Chinese food and watching King of Games 5D s reruns.
No news from the others other than a text saying, Out with the Ishtar s for welcome wagon for Namu. Take care of Ryou, from Bakura to Akefia.
Ryou smiled placing down his bowl on the coffee table and snuggled against Akefia. This show is bogus, Ryou snickered, watching as the main character Yusei summoned some weird robot with a purple scarf.
The tanned male nodded and wrapped his arms around the smaller white haired boy. Sighing he nuzzled the soft hair and mumble something about Malik and his motorcycle. Ryou giggled and held his hand over the one wrapped around his waist.
They really have to spent the whole day with that Namu person? Ryou asked about Bakura and the Ishtar s.
Yeah, its been like three years since we ve actually seen Namu, Akefia said opening an eye, rubbing circles on the pale hips. Hmm~ I hope they stay out longer so I can satisfy my guilty pleasure. Ryou chuckled and smacked him, Don t be like that, what have I told you. That you with Bakura, he mocked in a high-pitched voice imitating Ryou.
The moon spirit frowned. I don t sound like that. People can t hear themselves, Ryou. They quietened down and stayed like that, just holding each other until Akefia leaned down and kissed Ryous forehead. The smaller mewled and laid a peck on the tanned ones chin tenderly. Akefia froze in mid lean lips centimetres from the pale boys.
Ryou frowned and made a noise when the other pulled away from him. The tallers expression serious and far away, slight laboured breathing. Some things wrong, was all he said.
XXxXx
Bakura groaned, his head was slitting with pain and his ears ringing. Slowly opening his heavy eyelids he gazed around the car. Smoke was rising from the bonnet, a large cave in on the driver s side of the car. Mariku was awake, his forehead against the steering wheel but looked absent, Malik was screaming in the back with a unconscious Namu gripped tightly in his arms, blood streaking down his brow, the same as Bakura. Mariku twitched and bolted up right turning around and shouting something to Malik and the smaller Ishtar nodded with a sob and pulled Namu out through the opposite side of the car, the side untouched. He then turned to Bakura; the white haired male was still out of it and opened his door pushing his out before climbing out over him. Hoisting him up, arm around his waist he lead the other blonde down the side street to a deserted square. What the fuck? Mariku s words made there way slowly into Bakuras head. The fuck was that all about? Mariku, I m scared for Namu, Malik cried out in panic. He was sobbing and clutching the similar blonde to his chest.
He ll be find, Malik, Mariku gritted. He s just knocked out. He seated Bakura on a bench looking back at his car and swore at who was stepping out of the vehicle that hit them. Fucker. There was a harsh laugh from the new arrival as he strut closer to the beat up spirits.
See, told you next time we d win, the blonde haired mutt cackled. Now, I know you ll say it s cheating to hit you with a car, but alls far in war. The five thousand former Pharaoh appeared from the opposite direction with a smirk. It s time to settle this millennium war, he shouted, light pooling in his fists.
Maliks stomach turned and he laid down Namu near a building before rushing over to Mariku and Bakura. Please don t hurt Namu he s human, just like we agreed not to hurt Mokuba, Malik pleaded to Yami.
Yami paused a moment before nodding. Very well, we will not lay a hand on him. Bakura groaned and rose up from his seat and hissed at the Pharaoh. Fuck you, you bustard! What s with this random attack? We re sick of the fighting and waiting so it s time to end this, once and for all! the Pharaoh yelled lunging forward at the spirit of darkness. Bakura dodged in time before fists were thrown at him, a dangerous light shining from between Yami s fingers. Mariku was about to step in but Jounouchi socked him a good one in the jaw, throwing him off balance. Mariku growled, rubbing a hand over the slightly singed skin from the brief contact with Jounouchi s flaming fists. The blonds grinned at each other before starting a full blown out animal fight.
Shit, Malik whimpered seeing Duke and Anzu entering the square. He shivered, concentrating he created half a dozen viscous looking black hounds with his illusion powers and stood on guard as Kaiba showed up too. It seemed like the whole gang was going to show up, they certainly meant to kill them this time. Bakura was holding up well against Yami until he felt a sharp pain in his hip, stumping back he spied a black needle before it vanished into smoke. Fucking Duke, he thought. With a snarl he lunged for Yami, this time black shadows seeping from his hands.
He watched from the corner of his eye as Anzu giggled from beside Duke as he wiped up some more of his dark magic spikes. Panic flashed through the white haired male as Duke set his pretty green eyes on him with a smirk, crouching and getting ready to strike.
Just as he pulled back his arm, his head collided harshly with Anzu s and the two crumpled to the ground unconscious. Akefia stood over the two in rage walking briskly to Bakura and stood between him and Yami.
Uh, come to save your little brother? Yami spat at the older male. Can t you even hold your own fights, Bakura? Bakura is more than capable to stand up against you, Akefia growled. How ever I will not just sit back and watch as someone tries to course him harm. Bakura smiled sadly at his brother and shivered as a presents appeared behind him. A-Akefia Kaiba stood behind him with a sadistic smirk. Without much effort he swang his leg around, heel colliding with Bakuras head and the smaller white haired male went flying, skidding across the ground. The spirit of disappearing s eyes widened and he cried out for his brother before Yami throw himself forward and his attack blocked by a black hound. Shit, Malik swore as Bakura slowly sat up, more blood spilling down his face. Mariku and Jounouchi were still in their own world so there was no help from them and probably wouldn t be until one of them died.
xXxXx
Ryou frowned, once again he d been pulled into the spirit world and once again he sat on the crescent moon looking down as Yugi ran over the water to him.
Ryou! Yugi shouted breathlessly. Gods, you have to do something! Ryou watched the panicked male and tilted his head in confusion. What s wrong, Yugi? What can I do to help? It s Atemu, he s attacked your friends! I tried to stop him but he kept going on about it s time, we must end this and then he left to find the others, Yugi sobbed, fiddling with his fingers. I couldn t stop him, I m sorry. I m worried for everyone, I think he s actually going to kill Bakura. Ryous eyes widened dramatically and then with a chilled, icy voice he said, Let me out of here, right now. XXxXx
Panicking and bolting through the streets, no jacket, no shoes and no idea what to do when he found them, Ryou ignored the pain in his feet to try and get to them on time.
What will I do? What will I DO? He screamed in his head. I have no powers yet, I can t fight, and I probably won t get there in time. What will I do?
Guilt and sorrow at his uselessness built in his heart. A twitching feeling ran down his back, looking over his shoulders he found a large pair of white wings had shot out if his back, ripping his shirt. They were soft and perfect, almost like doves wings. Experimentally flapping them, the force of wind lifted him from his feet a foot or so. He frowned concentrating, sprinting into a run and flapping his new wings he slowly and clumsily lifted into the air. Praying to whatever God was out there; giving him thanks and hopes that he could get there as quickly as possible.
A small voice whispered and sobbed in his head that course Ryous heart to drop.
xXxXx
