I can't decided on to make this a Seto/Ruki or Yami Bakura/Ruki, so please
vote. Or you can vote for a Yami/Ruki.
Soloman looked up when he heard the ring of the door opening.
"Oh Ruki, just on time, I have some business to take care of, so will you please watch the store and take care of any customers that might come in?"
"Sure thing, Mr. Muto." She replied emotionlessly.
"Well bye Ruki, Yugi's out with some friends, so expect him back in a couple of hours."
Ruki just nodded, and sat down behind the counter.
Yugi walked into the store about 10:00, chatting merrily with Joey, Tristan, Tea, and Bakura.
"Hi Ruki, where's Grandpa?"
"Mr. Muto had business to take care of."
"Well you met the other's, but this is Bakura, Bakura this is Ruki Makino my grandfather hired her while we were away at Egypt."
"Oh hello." He gave an innocent smile, and Ruki just raised an eyebrow.
Joey shot a cocky smile at Tristan, walked over to the counter an leaned on it.
"Well when you done, how 'bout you and me go get a burger or something."
Ruki's eyes flashed dangerously.
"I'd rather not be seen anywhere with you, you little Chihuahua."
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat????????"
Yugi rubbed his forehead as Tristan and Tea held back choked laughs.
"You heard me mutt, now go away, you'll scare away the customers."
True enough, a man walked in, and gave Ruki a charming smile. All but her gagged, while she had a 'face of ice' on.
"Yes, how may I help you?"
The man smiled again, and Ruki started mentally vomit, he was a disgusting playboy, she could smell it off him.
"Can I have three of those packs." He pointed to the top shelf.
Ruki grabbed a stool, and began to reach for the cards.
The man leaned back, and gave a satisfied smile, he was enjoying the back side view.
Had it been any other time in her life, Ruki would have punched the guy, but she couldn't afford to lose this job, not now.
"Thanks babe." He threw her another charming smile, and she continued to mentally retch.
"How 'bout you and me get to know each other a little bit better." He grabbed her hand, and she snatched it away.
"Compared between you and dog boy over there, I would rather pick him." She snarled.
He smiled at not so pretty smile, and grabbed her arm again, this time pressing his body as much as he could against hers between the counter.
"Oh come on baby, you'll have so much fun, I can even pay you if you want."
Ruki's eye's widened in disgust, and before she could think of what she was doing, she grabbed the back of the man's head, and slammed it into the counter. "Why you little........" The man clutched broken and bleeding nose, and tried to punch Ruki with his other arm.
"That ain't no way to treat a lady." Joey's accent came out thicker, and anger laced through his words.
Cracking of knuckles were heard, as Joey lugged the man away from Ruki, out of the store with Tristan following.
"Are you alright?" Tea reached for Ruki, but the red head jerked away.
"I'm fine." She snapped and turned away, hoping to hide her shaking hands.
Yugi must have seen them shaking, "If you ever want to talk, you know where we are."
"Yeah whatever." She mumbled.
"Are you sure you are all right?" Bakura's English accent was also heavy with concern.
"Yes, how many times do I have to tell you people?" She snarled slamming her hand on the counter.
"What's the problem here?" Soloman Muto's concerned voice came as he stepped through the door.
"Mr. Muto some guy started to make sexual advance towards Ruki and she didn't like it." Tea answered.
"Why and we took care of the problem, right Tristan?"
"Hell yeah, he won't be bothering any one any time soon."
"Where is he?" Bakura asked.
"Behind the shop, in dreamland, he should wake up any time soon." Tristan answered.
"I didn't ask for your help, I could have dealt with it on my own." She snapped.
"That's ok, we like to deal with scum bags like him." Joey smirked.
"Is this true Ruki?"
Ruki rubbed the back of her neck, "Yes." She mumbled.
"I want you to go home and get some rest Ruki."
Ruki's head shot up, "But......."
A stern look came to his eye. "No buts Ruki Makino, now go home, do you want Yugi to walk you home?"
"No." She murmured. Ruki grabbed her purse, and walked out of the door.
They all stood there for a few moments before Bakura gave a sheepish smile.
"Sorry guys I have to go. See you tomorrow." Bakura waved and darted away, fallowed by a chorus of goodbyes.
Bakura slipped into the back ally behind the shop, a smirk gracing his handsome features, an aura of darkness seemed to cling to him.
//Your going to kill him!! Why?//
Yami Bakura heard his hikari cry in their shared mind. He grinned, his eyes widening in blood lust.
//He tried to hurt Ru, and nobody touches that of which is mine.//
//Ru.....?//
// Sleep Ryou..........You will find out in due time.........//
He felt the slumbering mind of his hikari, and he smiled again.
He looked down in disgust of this filth, and he leaned against the wall, the man would look into the eyes of his demise.
Just about sundown, the man stirred, and slowly got to his feet groaning.
Bakura grinned and stepped from the shadows.
"What? Go the hell away punk...."
"No."
"What?" That enraged the man, who lunged at Bakura.
Bakura easily dodged, slipped a knife from it's sheath and slammed it into the man's stomach.
Bakura gave the knife a sharp twist, then wrenched it from the man's flesh, and smiled.
Pulling a card from his pocket, he summoned Gyaktenno Megami, a light fairy type monster, usually used to aid the weak and give spiritual support that was not going to happen in this case. The fairy gave a wicked grin, her green hair swaying in the wind and the red jewel on her forehead glowing seductively.
Gathering energy into her palm, she flung it at the man, sending him into the graveyard, never to be seen again.
Gyaktenno Megami faded away back into her card, and Bakura grinned, wiped the blood off his knife, and walked away.
When Ruki got home, she shut the door and leaned against it, trembling. That had been so similar, so similar to that other time.
A sob caught her throat, and she walked into her bedroom, and she fell on her bed, still shaking.
Please, no nightmares tonight, I don't know if I can take them....
Shaking slightly less, Ruki, for the first time since the night she became pregnant, had a dreamless sleep.
Hours later....
He reached down and brushed the red hair away from her face, tear tracks dry on her pale cheeks. He leaned down and kissed each one of the tracks, easing her pain.
It's been so many years since I have last saw you Ru........my Ru....... I have missed you..............
He leaned down once more and kissed her lips softly, the moonlight catching his white hair.......
Ruki jerked awake, and sat straight up, looking up, she sighed in relief, no one's here..........
Sitting in a branch outside her small house the moon caught the outline of a lone figure with gleaming white hair.
Ok, I have set up the Yami Bakura/Ruki if you want that pairing, I can still do any other pairings, I am the author I have supreme control. ^_^
