Sakura Li: Hello again, minna-san!! Thank you so much for reviewing!!! I
got 5 reviews for one chapter so far!!! Me lovies!! This chapter is semi
short so I'll try to get the next one out as fast as I can, okay? Oh! And I
should probably mention that my mom doesn't allow me on FF.Net and I'm
doing this without her permission, so if I suddenly don't update for a long
time....Don't hurt me! It's not my fault. Um, this fic went from R to PG-
13, it will go back up, but not for a while until the citrus comes in. and
believe me there will be some limish and lemonish scenes!!! OMG! Please
forgive me for this chapter I just remembered! It is sooooooo hard to write
Jounouchi's accent but I love it too much to leave it out even thought I'm
using the Japanese version... -.- So, please forgive me for the
bad...umm...stuff...yea....
//...// Talk between Ryou to Bakura. Same thing for Bakura to Ryou. And Yuugi to Yami vice versa.
****************Last time on Yuugi-ou-Wait! I don't own Yuugi-ou...-.- **********************************************
"Come back here Bakura! You can't keep running away!" Yami shouted, but Bakura was already too far away for him to hear. Running faster than he thought he could the tears that were once present in his eyes cascaded off of his face, the cold air piercing his wet eyes burning them badly and affectively blinding his vision. He squinted trying to rid himself of the sharp pain that wouldn't go away. He ran out into the night not bothering for his helmet as he hopped onto his motorcycle and sped off.
**************************************************************************** *************************
~*~With the stunned Hikari only seconds ago.~*~
Ryou watched his yami and Yuugi's yami in amazement as there conversation went on. What intrigued him the most was the fact that they just so happened to be talking about him. He couldn't hear everything they were saying, just bits and pieces, but enough to know that they were most defiantly talking about him. Ryou strained his ears to hear more of what was going on.
"Yami and Hikari are always supposed to be together! They are never supposed to be separated! You have to go back before it's too late!" Yami yelled. 'Ah, so Yami's trying to help me.' thought Ryou smiling slightly. Ryou moved closer to Bakura and Yami not yet coming out of the shadows he was currently hiding behind but far enough to hear them clearly. He could see Bakura shaking his head back and forth rapidly and felt his emotions go haywire through their link.
"No! I wont go back! You don't understand! Tomb robbers don't belong with sweet innocent angels like Ryou! I don't deserve him! I cant no I wont let him be tainted by me again! He's too precious and innocent for someone like me!" said Bakura tears trailing down his already wet cheeks. Ryou gasped lightly although loud enough to be heard by Bakura. He saw his yami stiffen as he turned around. Yami smirked, his plan completed. Ryou couldn't stop the tears that now flowed freely over his other ones that seemed so long ago as of now. His eyes met his yami's in an emotional yearning gaze. Ryou saw the want, the need in his yami's eyes as Bakura saw the forgiveness and unconditional love that seemed to pour just as freely as his tears from his hikari's eyes. Ryou's soul seemed to be slowly dying though and Bakura didn't know why. It seemed his heart wept. His eyes held so much sorrow and disappointment. His eyes had barely any light in them and they seemed just as dull and lifeless as Bakura's. Bakura's eyes held almost the same thing as Ryou's. Sorrow, guilt and the knowing look of betrayal he had bestowed upon his innocent little hikari was ever so present in his yami's eyes. Before Ryou could say anything, Bakura took off in a rush to get away from his hikari's potent stare.
//Bakura.come back.// Ryou whispered silently through their soul link which was abruptly cut off right after he had said those words. Ryou's head was spinning. He didn't know whether or not to cry fall down or both. He was receiving a mix of emotions at seeing his yami again at long last. It had been one long year. So he decided on both as he fell to his knees crying as he brought his hands up to cover his face. Yami knelt down beside the fallen angel.
"It's alright, Ryou. Cry. Just cry. Get it all out." said Yami knowing that this was the only real time that Ryou had cried about his yami. He'd seem him loose a few tears here and there but he never cried. They knew why though. They had heard it once before. Although they knew Ryou had heard it plenty of times.
~*~Flashback in Yami's POV~*~
We were waiting outside Ryou's door ready to surprise him with the party we planned for him. Yes, today was his birthday; he was going to be 15! My aibou had insisted we throw the party at Ryou's own house so he couldn't reject us by saying something like 'I have to take care of Bakura today, sorry minna.' Ryou had been doing that a lot lately, blowing us off because of his selfish yami. We had found out a couple of months ago that Bakura had returned so that was no surprise. Well, to me anyway. We decided he needed a brake from the self-centered yami and here we all are, Jounouchi, Seto, Mokuba, Mai, Anzu, Honda, Shizuka, Malik, Marik, Yuugi and myself. Everyone was smiling and already hyper for the party to start. But soon we began hearing some noises inside and everyone's smiles were wiped off their faces. I gave a suspicious glance at the door and everyone leaned closer to hear what was going on behind the closed door. Jounouchi's eyes widened as he was the first one to understand a full sentence.
"It's Bakura.He's yellin' at someone er somethin'." said Jounouchi quietly.
"Get up you weakling!" we heard Bakura yell, a crack of a whip could be heard as well as a cry of pain. Bakura huffed. "Crying? Again?! Didn't you get it the first time?! Crying is not permitted around me!" screamed Bakura, a slap breaking through the air. "Stop crying! Pitiful weakling!" Another slash of the whip was enough for me to break in the door only to find Ryou on his knees, his back twisted and bent inward with Bakura fisting his soft white hair in his right hand yanking his head back to meet his retracted left arm fist aimed for his already bruised face. Bakura paid no attention to me and tried to hit his hikari once more but I had known he was going to try that so as fast as I could I moved over to them and caught Bakura's fist before he could touch Ryou.
"Let him go." I said in a deadly deep voice. It was a simple command really, you either do or you don't. Bakura growled ferociously trying to yank his arm from my grasp. He sighed angrily when he realized he couldn't. "This is between me and my hikari. It does not involve you. Get out." Bakura demanded.
"You're wrong. You must have forgotten how we operate. We go through things as a team. Never alone. Are you really that alone that you have to take it out on your hikari? He doesn't deserve that." I said. Bakura looked ever more deadly now.
"You don't understand. Just leave us alone we don't need you hanging around us. I can do whatever I want to him. He's mine. I can-"
"Just because you were beaten when you were young doesn't mean the same has to happen to Ryou! You vowed to never beat anyone like your father beat you. Look at yourself! You've turned into your father, Bakura! You always used to say that you would never let anyone feel that kind of pain ever again. You knew that pain and you still know it. You promised never to let anyone feel that pain ever again! Your father was punished for what he had done, let it go." The hand that had been brutally fisted in Ryou's soft silver hair was now moving as to caress the silky white tress he had wrinkled. Bakura of course hadn't noticed, but I certainly had. Ryou, by now confused, let his emotions gather in his head and at the sudden rush of anxiety he got dizzy and began to fall forward, eyes closing. Yuugi who had seen this coming was at his side in milliseconds to catch him from hitting the ground. Once Ryou's head left Bakura's hand he was snapped into the reality of what he was doing. "The pain inflicted by the one they love most.is the worst pain." Bakura made a quick exit, barely hearing what I had said. But deep down I knew he heard me. Yuugi and the rest of us were left to clean up Ryou and try to let him have a happy birthday. After all that I really don't think Bakura knew it was Ryou's birthday.
~*~End Flashback Normal POV~*~
Yuugi smiled as Ryou cried. Whether he admitted it or not crying to get your emotions out was actually a good thing. Keeping them bottled up inside only makes more of an impact when you do finally release it. He made small noises in Ryou's ear to help calm him.
"Why'd he leave? Why'd he leave me again.?" asked Ryou silently begging for an answer to that and many more of his questions. "Sometimes I just wish it was the way it was before.I just want to make him happy.and if him beating me made him happy then I am happy as well." said Ryou bringing his hand up to wipe his tears. Yuugi gasped.
"No! You don't mean that! Ryou what he did to you was wrong! Even he knows that!" cried Yuugi trying to get his friend away from that thought.
"I'm sure he does.but.if it makes him happy.Then I will be willing to comply to all of his wishes." said Ryou softly.
~*~Yami's POV~*~
Ah god.That boy is so in love with his yami that he would let him do anything he desired. Bakura could rip the boy apart from the inside out and Ryou wouldn't even care if he thought for a second that what he was going through made his yami happy.
"No Ryou you can't be serious." the look in his eyes told me that he was indeed serious.
"You don't understand, Yami! I can't feel him anymore! At first when he left I could still feel him inside my head.he was still with me in spirit.but then one day when I woke up he was gone! He doesn't even go to his soul room anymore! I check every chance I get and he's never there! Do you know how totally and utterly empty that makes me feel?! I can't take it anymore! I just want him to come back.yami onegai.onegai come back.onegai." After that Ryou broke down into harder sobs his whole body shaking and wrenching violently as he called out to his yami. I felt my heart ache but I realized it was Yuugi's heart that swelled for the small white tenshi. Yuugi got a distant look on his face as he avoided my concerned stare.
"I.I know how you feel." said Yuugi. Oh I remember now.that one time I went to the store with Grandpa.It had been while Yuugi was still asleep. We were still getting used to me having a body away from his. He woke up and couldn't feel me. He was distressed for hours even after I got back. He wouldn't let me go. Ryou must be going through even worse! And if Bakura doesn't come back soon.Ryou might not last much longer.
