Amani: Okayzies I believe this is where the plot will start maybe not if I get into my fluffy mode. Well enjoy this chap. It would have been up sooner if FF.net had let me.

Tears of Ice By: Amani Hershel

Malik got off of the motor cycle Marik following the ride had been quite. Malik walked in leaving the door open for his hikari. When Marik came in he found his dark staring at the wall as he sat on the couch. Marik sat by him leaving plenty of room between the two as he looked down at the floor.

Malik had said he was not angry, but Marik could sense something was wrong. Malik suddenly pulled the sennen [forgive me if I spelt it wrong ^^;] rod out from his belt staring at it intently. Marik attempted looking through the others thoughts to see what was troubling the dark. //Stop it Marik// Malik warned sternly. / G-Gomen forgive me I just wanted to know what was troubling you. / Marik got up. "I'm going over to Ryou's." The hikari desperately wanted to leave until Malik was acting more normal, but was stopped when Malik grabbed his elbow with bruising force. "Ow . Malik?" "Did I saw you could leave?" His voice sounded dangerous.

"N-no but." Malik tightened his grip. "Malik please stop your hurting me." Marik said as calmly as he possibly could. "Stop whining." What was going on? Why was Malik doing this? Malik tightened his grip further bring a cry from the hikari.

"Onegai Malik stop!" Malik's eyes were strange for a moment as if readjusting to a dark room. He looked up at his light than at his hand letting go. "G-go to Ryou's." Marik stared down at the yami who would not meet his gaze for a moment before running out of the house not bothering to take his bike keys.

Malik sat there staring at his hand that had had held Marik. Why? Why had he done that he could barley recall the words that had left his lips as if they hadn't been his own. He then glanced to the rod. Why had he brought it out? Most of all why had he yelled at Marik? Hurt him even. Malik let out a frustrated sigh, Laying back on the couch. "Marik."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Marik continued running to the other hikari's house. Tears streaming. Malik had not hurt him badly, but it was more shock than pain. Malik was acting like he had a couple months ago. Marik knocked one the hikari's door needing to see him. Ryou was the one to answer the door.

"Mar-" Ryou was cut off as Marik through his self into the others arms crying into his shoulder. "Marik are you alright." That was a stupid question of course the boy was not alright. Ryou led him into the living room siting on the couch with him stroking the others hair. "Marik what's wrong?" The other questioned pulling the Egyptian away just enough to wipe his tears which were only followed by more. Marik glanced down at his elbow right above his armlet. Ryou followed his gaze seeing a perfect bruise of a hand. "Marik-kun did someone hurt you?" Marik forced himself to look at the other light. "Malik." He whispered quietly. "Malik? Malik did that?" The hikari nodded. "Did he mean to?" "I-I don't really know he was acting a bit odd so I tried to use our link to find out what was wrong, he snapped at me I said I was coming over here. Then he grabbed me and began to yell at me I told him to let go but that only seemed to make him angry. Then he let me go I know I am over acting, but I guess he just scared me. I-I don't want him to go back to how he was. " Ryou nodded understanding. "Do you want to stay here tonight? Marik shook his head "I'll be fine I just want to stay here for awhile if it's alright."

"Oi, what's going on?" The two lights looked back to see Bakura in a pair a jean and drying his hair with a towel. Ryou stood smiling "I'll go make some tea." He motioned for the oblivious yami to follow him. Ryou told him what the hikari had said. "That's odd why would Malik do that?" I don't know I think he scared Marik though. Marik's afraid of things going back to how it use to be." Ryou glanced back at the hikari sitting on the couch. "I doubt Malik would ever mean to hurt Marik."

Bakura ran a hand through his still damp hair. "Did." Ryou averted his eyes from his yami. "What is it Ryou?" Ryou smiled at him brightly. "Nothing never mind." Bakura placed a hand on the side of his light's face. "Ryou what is it? What were you going to tell me?" Ryou paused a minute before opening his eyes to look at his yami. "Did you ever mean to hurt me when you beat me?" "Ryou. I was lost in darkness all I knew was hate I didn't mean to hurt you I just didn't know what else to do when you made me feel things I did not understand." He leaned down brushing his lips against his light's. "Feelings such as the love I have for you." Ryou placed his hand atop his yami's smiling. "I love you." He whispered softly. "As I do you." He leaned down brushing his lips to his hikari's before they came back into the living room where Marik was waiting.
