Tears of Ice By: Amani Hershel

Marik lay on the mat Ryou had given him to sleep on. He was thankful he had not had to go back to Malik yet. Marik shivered remembering the day's events. Malik his eyes had looked different not empty as Marik's many mind slaves had just distant. Marik sighed the image clear in his mind. He would return home tomorrow and everything would be fine. Marik ran his hand through his hair tracing down the beginning of the memory told out in scars. The very thing that had given birth to Malik to his soul mate. Marik had hated his father for it, however he would go through the ritual gods knows how many times to stay with Malik. Isis couldn't even understand how he could be around his yami anymore after what he had been put through by the dark. Yes the Marik Ishtar a couple months ago would have agreed, but there was something about Malik. Something that made Marik feel he had to forgive the yami.

Marik rolled over he knew sleep would not bless him well tonight.

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

Ryou sat up stretching. "Good morning Mari-" Ryou looked down to see no sign of the other hikari. "That's strange he must have left already." Ryou got out of bed heading to his yami's room usually Bakura and him slept together, but Ryou had wanted to stay with Marik that night as he usually did every night the Egyptian boy came over. Bakura was not always to thrilled by this seeing as he lost something warm to snuggle with on those nights. Ryou cracked the door open just as h had expected his yami still lie there lost in sleep. Ryou walked around to the side of the bed. Ryou suppressed a giggle shaking his yami lightly on the shoulder.

" 'Kura." The only reply to the light was a moan of one that had never been a morning person. Another shake. " 'Kura get up please." Ryou smile widened as his yami threw the pillow over his head desperate to get as much more sleep as he could. Ryou suddenly jumped right on top of the lump of wrinkled blankets and pillows as his victim gave a strange 'ummf' sound. "Wakkie wakkie 'Kura." Tired eyes met those bright chocolate ones identical to his own. Bakura wrapped an arm around him pulling the light down and holding him there nuzzling his neck. " 'Kura let go of me." "Hmm and if I refuse?" Ryou paused smiling. "Then that's okay with me." He wrapped his arms around his darker half's back. "Marik left he didn't tell me." "Back to see Malik?" "I don't know he didn't leave a note or anything." "He'll be fine as I said before I do not believe Malik would hurt Marik on purpose." "Yes I believe that too but, .. I'm still worried I have a bad feeling that's all."

Bakura sighed pulling his face out of hiding. "I fear that aibou your feelings tend to be right." "That's what worries me, but I still, I just can't explain it. It is as if Malik wasn't the one that hurt him." "Aibou.. All we can do is see how things turn out for those two and help them on the way." "I just want to see Marik happy and Malik is what makes him happy, however what if Malik hurts him in the process?" "Hikari I really just don't know they will have to find there way as we found ours . I am sorry you had to experience so much pain along the way though." Bakura looked away but only had soft hands placed on the sides of his face bring his gaze back to his light. "Bakura I would go through any hardship for you our love passes pain I love you," "Ryou." Bakura closed his eyes smiling. "You are much stronger than I could ever hope to become."

Ryou smiled brightly I'll go make breakfast." "Alright." There was a moment of silence. "Ahh 'Kura?" "Hai?" "I need you to let go of me first." This only caused the raider to tighten his grip. "Don't wanna. " "Then I can't make breakfast." "Screw it." Ryou smiled. "Whatever you say yami."
