Yami Ryuu, Shiro Tenshi

Chapter 5... are they gonna kiss? Huh? You gotta read to find out. ^_^!

Maybe I'll make you suffer and them NOT kiss! Bwahahah! I control it all! I am all powerful! I am damn tired cause it's 10:36 PM and I'm outta Coke and I'm looking through taped dubbed Yugioh eps for the heck of it.

Ooh, a surprise POV! No, this person won't have the POV again, just... I thought it'd be unique.

Chapter 5-

Mokuba's POV:

Bakura was going to live with us for a while, ok. I could live with this, it may actually be cool. But... I really felt sorry for him. I mean, when I lost my parents, I still had Seto. But now that he's lost his father, he has no one. Sure, he also has my brother; I can tell there's something going on between them, officially now, probably. He called him Seto.

Yet, I didn't feel left out of the attention. They both cared about me, and that made me happy. That made me feel as if I had a family again, not just an executive brother. Bakura could make Seto happy, he will; I know it, because he loves him. I believe in my brother and will go with any decision he makes.

Bakura's POV: (What you've been waiting (and trying to kill me) for! -^_^-)

His warm lips touched mine.

Yes...

His tongue brushed mine as it entered my mouth. He held me as close as he could, and I brought myself as close as possible.

It was pure passion and love; I guess that's the only way to describe it. Both our firsts, both of is putting our love into it. Breath leaving his nose hit my neck, it felt so good. I guess one could only really know how it feels if they've actually experienced it, their love kissing them.

Unfortunately, his lips left mine and he slowly pulled my head away and look straight into my eyes. The last part I didn't mind. He had beautiful eyes, a dark blue, and they held so much emotion, so much in them. They used to seem cold and heartless, merciless, but now, feeling just for me in them.

"I guess we better go now, huh?"

Seto's POV:

Bakura's father was flown back to Japan for a funeral ceremony. Mokuba and I both attended. I had never seen Bakura so sad. Then again, I had been in that position once, a lost child standing there, seeing his parents buried, never to talk to them again, to see them, touch them... it hurt. It brought back a flood of memories. I'm sure it was the same for Mokuba, but this will stay in my POV for a while longer.

"You know, Bakura. If you wanted, you could stay with my grandfather and me for a while." Yugi offered, rubbing his upper arm. "I mean, otherwise, who knows where you might be put."

"Thanks for the offer Yugi, but I think I may have a place to go. I'll tell you if it becomes official, ok?"

I stood against a tree while they talked. Mokuba stood next to me, watching also.

"Seto, are you remembering when Mom and Dad died?"

"Yeah, admittingly. It's sad, seeing someone live through what we did, even though it seems to happen every day, to someone in this world."

"But not usually someone you're so close to." He gave me a significant look. I knew what it meant, he knew my feelings.

Yugi and the others left Bakura. He stood at his father's grave and just stared for a while. The wind lifted his hair and swept it off to the side.

After everyone had left, I came up to him. Bowing low, I wished Bakura's father a final farewell. Mokuba and Bakura bowed with me. It just seemed right, I guess. Bowing is meant to honor people, and he deserved the honor. He was the father of the one I love, he was the one who raised him, and died while so far away from home.

"We're just a group of orphans now, I guess." Bakura whispered.

I nodded slowly. We were, but I was somewhat considered an adult because I could support my brother and I. I was given special privileges because of my status. Damn it all.

I reached my hand up the back of Bakura's jacket and rubbed his back to comfort him, though his light shirt separated my hand from his skin. Mokuba didn't seem to take any notice. He probably did, but didn't care.

"Father, I will miss you. Take care, wherever you may be now." Bakura laid a hand on the grave stone, then turned and walked away.

He had a hard time the rest of the night. He kept muttering about how his Yami was bugging him, and he refused to be alone. Both of us slept downstairs. I couldn't really blame him for not wanting to be alone, considering what had just transpired. But he seemed more afraid than he should have been.

"My Yami will get me. He'll hurt me." He kept saying softly as his eyes fluttered shut, then open again. I sat with him on the couch until he actually did fall asleep, lying on his side with his head on a pillow in my lap. The blanket I had brought for him was on the floor, so I carefully reached down and covered him with it. He was an angel, but one so faced with the misery and hell of Earth that his wings had disappeared and he had to live the life of a mortal soul, the wretched and desolate world it was.

Bakura's POV:

Seto and I went to court the next day to try and see where I would go. Since I was a minor, I had to wait in the lobby while Seto consulted whomever he had to so that he could take charge of me and become my legal guardian. It took hours, and those hours seemed like days.

He exited the office. I abruptly stood. His face looked grim.

"They have to come to a decision."

"They know that you're capable of support, right?"

"Yes, I explained everything to them, and they still had records of when Gozaburo died."

Gozaburo, Seto and Mokuba's adoptive father's name. Mr. Kaiba, the real one who abused them so wretchedly. Seto had never mentioned him to me, but he spat his name with so much anger and hatred it all but scared me.

We waited for what had to be another two hours, but in actuality it was one.

"Mr. Seto Kaiba? The judge will see you now."

He stood and walked towards the courtroom. I stood to follow him, but was stopped by a guard, who did nothing but shake his head. Did my opinion mean nothing?

Seto looked back towards me, and I nodded for him to continue without me.

The door closed and my fate was sealed.

Seto's POV:

"Mr. Seto Kaiba." The judge said in a monotonous voice. "We the court have decided that you have proven capable of supporting the minor in question, and that you may take charge of him from here on out. Dismissed." He hit his gavel on the desk.

We had done it. We had actually done it.

I didn't wait for the guards to lead me out; I dashed for the door, possibly offending someone. I didn't care though.

"Bakura, we did it! We did it!"

He stood up. I grabbed him in my arms. "We actually did it."

He smiled. "I knew you could."

I let go of him. Needless to say, my sudden display of emotion caused passersby to stop and watch.

Flushing, I sauntered to the car with Bakura behind me. Oh man, I had really done it this time.

"Seto?" Bakura asked as I started the car and pulled out onto the main street.

"Yes?"

"If father was still alive, he would want me to thank you."

We hit a stop light, so I looked down at him. "Really, no problem. Even if they hadn't have let you stay, I'd keep fighting. No one's taking you just because of your age and mine."

I would have kissed him long and hard right there, but the traffic light went green and I had to take the wheel. He looked a little disappointed that I hadn't just ignored the light. Only a little.

Bakura started school up again. He was back in his classes and did all his make-up work. Incidentally, because of all the funeral preparations and legal matters, I too had missed school and had work to turn in.

Bakura went and started hanging out with Yugi a lot. Maybe he figured that he had been kind of ignoring them for a while, which he had. I mean, they're his friends too, and I don't really care that he does, it's his life. He needs to try and live it normal for a while at least.

Maybe he was explaining how he planned on living from now on. Jounouchi kept glaring at me and Honda had a look on his face. I just nonchalantly kept on with my make-up assignments.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. Looking up, I saw Anzu.

"Hey, we heard that you offered to take Bakura in and about the whole thing at court." She said this gently, nicely even.

"Yeah?" I tried to sound indifferent.

"Well, I just wanted to say thanks for that, and that was very nice of you." She smiled.

"Bakura's my friend, and since I can do something about it, do you think it would logical for me not to?"

"I guess not." She laughed. "Anyway, thanks again. I guess you're not too bad once someone gets to know you." She turned and went back to her friends.

I had a blank expression on my face. What the damn hell just happened?

Maybe I should tell them how Bakura and I felt. Maybe I should.

I won't tell them. If they're anything like other people I've known, they'll scorn Bakura. Especially Jounouchi, he is so closed-minded. They can't know, for his sake.

Now maybe some unconscious backing for this train of thought was that I subliminally was scared of anyone finding out, and that I just really didn't like Jounouchi, or both.

Bakura's POV:

Seto stayed kind of far away from us while I was with my friends. I really did care if he felt lonely or not. I made eye contact with him and he gave a little nod that meant that it was perfectly ok with him.

Maybe I should tell Yugi and the others. They may accept him truly. That would be nice, but they could just push him away more. I mean, if they learned that we loved each other, how would their reaction be? Most people would not want anything to do with homosexuals, but I don't think they're like that. What to do?

I felt a little nervous. Anzu had gone to talk to Seto, and she returned without a frown on her face, so that could be a good sign.

"Ya know, I think I'll have a talk with Kaiba now." Jounouchi banged his hand on the table.

"Jounouchi, wait..." Honda held a hand to stop him, but he had already left. "Idiot, doesn't he know that if he says one wrong word, Kaiba will kill him?"

"No he won't." I interfered.

"Well, I guess you're right then. After all, you know him better than any of us." He stated.

Yugi stared at me, as if trying to figure something out about me. I could guess what; he knew I was hiding something. As long as he didn't call out his Yami, it would take them time to figure out.

Jounouchi's POV:

I walked over to his desk. I know he was doing something nice, but past experiences told me that there were other reasons besides just trying to be nice that he was doing this. Every sense in my body told me.

"Kaiba." He looked up at me. That was a change; usually I looked up at him.

"What do you want?"

"I want to know why you're helping Bakura. What's the deal? I thought you hated all of us."

Kaiba closed his book and pushed some of his bangs out of his face. I'm sure the others were watching for my actions and his reactions.

"I don't hate you and your friends, Jounouchi. And Bakura just happens to be my friend, whether you would like to admit it or not. And friends help friends out, especially if they have the capabilities of doing so. Yugi has helped you so many times, so why is it so wrong I help Bakura?" He sounded so believable, sincere, but Kaiba had lied before.

"I think there's another reason. There some other reason you're helping him. But what I want to know is why."

He looked way from me, as if concealing his motive. Good, that proved me right.

"Listen, I'm not as dense as you think I am. I can tell there is another factor running here."

He looked like he was about to spit something out, a clue to this mystery.

"Jounouchi, that's enough." Yugi called.

"Eh, what?" I turned over towards them. Yugi motioned for me to come back.

"Go on." Kaiba said in a quiet voice. For some reason, I listened. There was something different about how he said it. It wasn't spiteful, cruel, nasty, or any other synonym for mean. There was another emotion, but I couldn't place it. Sadness, with a touch of something else.

I listened and sat back down at my desk.

I still didn't like it, I needed to know why.

Bakura's POV:

 We could hear Jounouchi all the way across the room. He came back and sat down.

"He's hiding something." His glare went over to me and I shrugged.

Yugi gave him a small shake of the head. He stopped glaring.

I looked over at Yugi. I think he knew what was going on, and he was keeping at a secret for us. I so wanted to tell him thanks, but I wasn't sure and it would seem odd at this time and place. He glanced over at me, nodded, and mouthed: I know.

I smiled and mouthed back: Thanks.

The bell sounded and we all split up to go to class.

While Seto and I were walking to the car, Yugi split from his friends and came towards us. I put a hand on Seto's arm to stop him. He flushed and pushed it away, indicating Yugi with his eyes.

"He knows." I whispered. His eyes made contact with mine. He understood.

"Hey." Yugi waved.

"Hey Yugi." I responded. "Thanks for not saying anything."

"Well, I get the feeling that if you wanted everyone to know, you'd be less discreet. I'll admit I had a hard time figuring it out myself."

"You won't tell now, will you?" Seto looked over at Yugi, concern in his voice.

"That will be for you two to do." Yugi's voice sounded deeper there, like his Yami's. Maybe it was his Yami's voice. He had his Yami's confident smirk and the same look in his eyes.

But then, he went back to normal. "Well, see you guys." He waved passively and walked off.

"Well, shall we go?" I got into the passenger side and closed the door. Buckling my seatbelt, I waited for Seto to get in.

He closed his door, buckled his seatbelt, and started the car. "Ok, time to pick up Mokuba." He lowered his head and smiled. Shaking his head, he laughed and said: "Guess we're not really concealing it, are we?"

This time, I laughed. "Good enough, though Jounouchi suspects."

"He won't find out yet, as long as Yugi doesn't say anything." He set the car into drive and headed towards Mokuba's school.

Song of the Chapter:

Crash and Burn

Savage Garden

When you feel all alone

And the world has turned its back on you

Give me a moment please

To tame your wild, wild heart.

I know you feel like the

Walls are closing in on you.

It's hard to find relief

And people can be so cold.

When darkness is upon your door and

You feel like you can't take any more.

Let me be the one you call.

If you jump I'll break the fall.

If you want I'll fly away with you

Into the night.

If you need to fall apart,

I can mend your broken heart.

If you need to crash,

Then crash and burn

You're not alone.

When you feel all alone

And a loyal friend is hard to find,

You're caught in a one-way street

With the monsters in your head.

When hopes and dreams seem far away,

And you feel like you can't face the day.

Let me be the one you call.

If you jump I'll break the fall.

If you want I'll fly away with you

Into the night.

If you need to fall apart,

I can mend your broken heart.

If you need to crash,

Then crash and burn

You're not alone.

Cause there has always been heartache

And pain.

And when it's over you'll breathe again.

You'll breath again.

When you feel all alone

And the world has turned its back on you

Give me a moment please

To tame your wild, wild heart.

Let me be the one you call.

If you jump I'll break the fall.

If you want I'll fly away with you

Into the night.

If you need to fall apart,

I can mend your broken heart.

If you need to crash,

Then crash and burn

You're not alone.

You're not alone.

Let me be the one you call.

If you jump I'll break the fall.

If you want I'll fly away with you

Into the night.

If you need to fall apart,

I can mend your broken heart.

If you need to crash,

Then crash and burn

You're not alone.

Amby-chan, I'm sorry bout the last chapter's end notes! Aishiteru! Err, sisterly love. Now like what's shown here... blah.

Hey, anyone know any really good Bakura x Yami Bakura fics? I've read a few, and they were good, but I can't get enough! Rating don't matter, I'm mature enough to read NC-17.

Wolfmon: **chokes**

Ok, ignore the muse. And is there any other Seto x Bakura fics besides mine? Tell me...!

Oh, Enkidu, I read your thing on your views on yaoi couples in Yugioh. With the Seto x Yami Bakura thing, it kinda is rape... But Yami Bakura doesn't succeed. In fact, it's in the next chapter. But Seto doesn't beat him, that'd be mean.
