****************Last Time******************
"Ryou...are you all right?" asked Yuugi. Ryou turned his head to the side trying to hide his head and cried even more.
"Was a dream...just a dream..." Ryou murmured. "Please...leave me alone...Yuugi...Yami...please..." Ryou said. Yuugi looked hurt but complied without question.
*******************************************
Yami smirked, knowingly. He looked at Ryou's neck; the deep crimson red bite mark still healing on his alabaster skin, the smirk grew.
"Why did you wake him up?" asked Yami slightly angry. Yuugi looked at him with big violet eyes.
"Because he was making weird noises...I thought he was having a bad dream...."Yuugi said. Yami twitched at Yuugi's naivety. "Why shouldn't I have woken him up?" Yami sighed, 'I knew I should have told him about this...' thought Yami.
"Bakura was in his dream." Yami said. Yuugi gasped in shock.
"You mean Bakura was making Ryou make those noises?! He...was beating him again?!" Yuugi screamed in complete devastation. Yami's eyes widened as his light and love became frantic.
"No...Bakura...he was just there...he wasn't hurting him in any way. But, they were kind of busy..." Yami said, trying not to state the obvious. Yuugi cocked his head to the side.
"What do you mean 'busy'? Ne, Yami-chan? Tell me." Yuugi said cutely. Yami sighed deeply regretting what he was about to explain to his innocent light.
"They were...together." Yami said, trying not to use specific words. Yuugi only looked more confused.
"Nandaiyo?" asked Yuugi sweetly. "What are you trying to get at?" Yami sighed again, 'Why me...?' thought Yami.
"They were...with each other...together...in... a...bed..." he said drawing out the meaning. Yuugi looked even more confused. The former Pharaoh of the Shadow Realm blushed profoundly.
"Huh?" Yuugi wondered out loud. Yami's face couldn't get any brighter.
"Uhg...They were...pleasuring each other..." Yami said. Yuugi gasped.
"Oh! That...oh...oops...I guess I shouldn't of woken him up...But if Bakura was really there...then...Why did Ryou say it was a dream?" Yuugi asked
"Because Bakura did not want Ryou to know he was there. He still thinks he's unworthy of him. He has delayed the inevitable, but it wont be long until Ryou..." Yami trailed off. Yuugi looked worriedly at he door Ryou was behind.
"I understand...If Bakura doesn't go back to Ryou...He'll die...That's the rule.... I don't think he knows that though..." Yuugi said with sorrow filled eyes.
"How did you know about that rule?" Yami asked cocking an eyebrow at his now blushing hikari. Yuugi sighed, annoyed.
"I'm not that naive...I've seen how Ryou has been acting. It's like he has nothing to live for..." said Yuugi.
"He doesn't." Yami replied, crimson eyes reflecting pity and regret.
~*~Ryou~*~
Why...Why did my mind make him...? Why couldn't he have been real...? Damn I'm pathetic...I could drown in all of the tears I've shed for him...because of him...I know what's wrong with me...Why I keep having these sudden dizzy spells of mine or fall asleep without any warning. My body is trying to fight this illness...But my mine welcomes death with open arms. I have nothing to live for anymore. Nobody would be sad...Maybe Yuugi and maybe my dad but he's hardly ever around to understand what it would be like to loose me...I have a strong feeling that Yuugi already knows what is happening to me. I don't want them to pity me. After that dream...All I want to do is die. The reality of all of it...It made me see that I would never get a chance to be with my yami the way I want to be. It would be so much better...To be out of this loveless life...I don't want a life without Bakura...my yami...This is too painful...No more pain...no more suffering...I'll be gone and I won't be able to feel any emotions...Surely the pain would not follow in the after life. Emotions...I would be left without them...love...pain...suffering...sorrow...hatred...will all be gone. I'll be gone from this life...oh...I can't wait...
~*~Normal POV~*~
With that last though Ryou fell into a deep sleep, a sincere smile upon his sorrow filled angelic face.
~*~With Bakura~*~
Bakura stormed out of his house in a mad rage. Anger clearly written on his dark features. 'What the hell happened?! Why did I get pushed out of Ryou's soulroom?! Stupid light...I thought I was going to be blinded!' Bakura thought growling menacingly.
(Pharaoh!) Bakura shouted though the newly established link.
(Huh? Bakura) Yami's voice echoed back uncertainly.
(What the hell happened?! The last thing I remember is holding Ryou, then a bright light and being shoved out of hikari's soulroom!) Bakura yelled accusingly.
(Ah, I'm sorry about that...You see...Yuugi thought Ryou was in pain because of the noises he was producing in his sleep. Yuugi kinda...um...woke him up...) Yami said as he awaited the wrath of the mighty Tomb Robber. Bakura sneered and mentally slapped himself on the forehead.
(Damn it!) Bakura said before shutting out the link.
~*~With Yami and Yuugi~*~
"What should we do?" Yuugi asked. Yami shook his head.
"We can't interfere. If we tell either Ryou or Bakura what's happening...He'll die on the spot. There's nothing we can do. Bakura's too stubborn to listen to my clues. We should stick with Ryou at all times. He's becoming very weak. No telling what could happen if he's caught alone." Yami said sadly.
"Yami, Yuugi! You have company!" Sugoroku yelled from the downstairs. Yuugi looked at Yami quizzically.
"I called them here to help with Ryou. You stay up here, I'll go get them." Yami said. Yuugi nodded and Yami went downstairs. He soon returned with Jounouchi, Seto, Shizuka, Mokuba, Honda, Anzu, Mai, Malik and Marik.
"We're he-ya ta help, juss tell us wat ta do!" Jounouchi said smiling.
"Calm down, pup, Yami will tell us in good time." Seto said smirking, crossing his arms in a trademark stance. Jou stuck out his tongue at him.
"Better watch that tongue of yours before I give you a reason to bring it out." Seto said. Jou looked a little confused at the threat but dismissed it for the time being.
"What's wrong, Yami? Does it have something to do with Yuugi?" Anzu asked. Yuugi walked up to them.
"Actually, it has something to do with Ryou and Bakura." Yuugi informed. Jou looked up.
"Figured dat...Me and Kaiba was at da karaoke when Ryou and Bakura was dere. We herd dem talkin' an' stuff." Jou said. Mokuba and Shizuka raised an eyebrow at their brothers.
"Why were you two there?" they asked together, smirking secretly. Jou blushed but Seto stayed neutral.
"We heard that Ryou was going to be singing there, so we decided to check it out." Seto said, eyes closed with arms crossed.
"Together?" Mokuba questioned. Jou blushed bright red and turned away from Seto. A tiny red hue could be seen on Seto's face for a split second before he answered,
"Back to what we are here for, please?" he said slightly annoyed.
"So what's the problem?" Honda asked seemingly very worried for Ryou's safety.
"Yea, and what does Bakura have to do with this?" Malik asked. Marik eyes him and sighed.
"My guess is that he is the cause of this..." Marik said in a sad voice.
"Well...as you all know, about one year ago Bakura ran away and hasn't been around, right? As of recently, like yesterday night, Bakura was in the karaoke and had witnesses Ryou singing for him. I found him on the ground crying and calling out for Ryou to stop. Ryou probably would have listen had his side of the link been open...I'm guessing Bakura was hearing everything Ryou was thinking and seeing everything Ryou saw during that time. I ended up stalling him long enough for Ryou to finfish the song and find us. Bakura was saying some pretty seep stuff and Ryou just so happened to hear almost all of it. When Bakura realized Ryou was behind him he freaked out and ran away again." Yami said facing the ground thinking hard.
"Wow, this is some deep ass shit..." Marik said. Malik snorted and slapped his yami upside the head.
"What happened next?" Mai asked. She had been surprisingly quiet throughout the night. Yami faced her and sighed.
"After that, Ryou broke. Later Bakura called me via link and told me he was going to appear in Ryou's dreams. Yuugi thought Ryou was in pain from the noises he was making and woke him up. Ryou was devestated." Yami said.
"Wow, so I bet Bakura's pissed!" Honda said.
"He was." Yami said. Anzu looked worriedly over at the closed door.
"Poor Ryou...Is he still in the guest room?" Anzu asked.
"Yes. But one good thing comes from all of this. Bakura slipped up. He bit Ryou's neck in the dream." Yami said smiling.. Everybody gaped. Malik sneered.
"C'mon, you can't all be surprised? This is Bakura we're talking about!" he said, annoyed. Jou smiled.
"Dat means he still has da mark, right?! Dat means he'll know it wasn' ta dream!" Jounouchi said in an excited voice.
"Good Jounouchi puppy, you deserve a dog bone." Seto said smoothly, smirking at the pup.
"Shuddap! Leave me alone Kaiba!" Jou yelled, glaring at Seto manically.
"That's exactly right! Once Ryou seesnthe mark he'll know. But everything comes with a catch...Nobody can tell him of the mark, alright?" asked Yami. The nodded.
"But...Even if he does realize that it wasn't a dream what good will it do?" asked Seto. Yami sighed.
"That's where I would have to track down Bakura in my mind and try to tell him..." Yami said. Seto nodded.
"We would also like to inform you that...When a yami is separated from his or her hikari for this amount of time...they are..." Yuugi trailed off. Marik and Malik's expresions darkened.
"Slowly dying..." Marik finished.
"If we don't get Bakura back to Ryou, he'll die..." Malik said.
"Nani?!" Mokuba, Shizuka, Jou, Seto, Anzu, Honda and Mai yelled in astonishment.
"Why can't we just tell Bakura that Ryou is dying?!" yelled Seto in frustration.
"If we tell either what is going on...Ryou will die." Yuugi said, deadly serious.
~*~One week later...Yami's POV~*~
It has been one week since Bakura showed up at the karaoke. Ryou's been so out of it. He's getting close to death I can feel it...I wonder if Bakura can feel it...We haven't heard from him since Ryou's dream. There was some unexpected calculations that have come to pass since then...The good news is that the bite mark on Ryou's neck still hasn't healed and the bad news is that Ryou's subconscious mind wouldn't allow himself to see the mark. Shortly after I explained the situation to everybody Ryou came out and notified us that his neck hurt. He said he could see anything wrong but when he touched a certain spot a shiver would run down his spine and he would feel as if Bakura was with him again...However as soon as the feeling was there it was gone again. We were all very confused. We could se the mark clear as day...But he, for some reason, could not. There seemed to be no hope. He's so weak...We've been watching him for a whole week...Good thing there's a lot of us...Yuugi and I switch off at night. Early morning Honda watches him, after that is Jounouchi and Kaiba, then Anzu, then Mai...Then Malik and Marik...then back to Yuugi and I. Right now it's midnight. Only three more hours until Yuugi takes over. I sigh as I see Ryou toss and turn in his sleep. Every night he has the same reacurring dream of when Bakura raped him. They wont go away until Bakura comes back. Poor Ryou. A knock at the front door kicked me out of my staring at the poor tenshi. I open the door and stare into the eyes of Bakura looking almost as develshed at Ryou. I gasp in shock. I had definately not expected him to be here.
"Bakura? What are you doing here?" I ask in a whispered voice. Bakura looked as if he were in pain. He breathed deeply.
"What's wrong with him?" he asks equally hushed. I sigh, so Bakura could feel his energy drop.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you." I say lightly. "It's a rule." Bakura looked even more sad.
"Can...Can I see him...please?" he asks. "I...I couldn't stop myself...I...need to see him...please?" he asks again. I nod and walk back into Ryou's room motioning for Bakura to follow. When he walked into his room Ryou seemed to calm almost immediately. A small tear fell form Bakura's eye as he stared at the small hikari sleeping peacefully as apposed to how he looked earlier. "Could you leave me alone for a minute?" asks Bakura. I nod and quietly leave the room.
~*~Normal POV~*~
Bakura watched his small hikari breathe...Watching his chest rise and fall with every breath taken. A smiled spread across his face despite himself. He walked over to the bed and knelt beside it. He rested his head on his ahnd and continued to watch his hikari.
'I know what's wrong with him...I've known for some time now...He's trying to hide it...He's trying to be strong...Oh Ryou...You were always strong...I'm so sorry...' Bakura thought. He got up and went to leave when Ryou started to toss and turn again. 'Oh god...This is all because of me...' he thought. With that Bakura turned and walked quickly out the door, avoiding Yami. Yami sighed and walked back into Ryou's room to try and calm him with his magic.
~*~Two hours later...~*~
Yuugi sighed as he let himself in Ryou's house, navigating his way in the dark toward said boy's room. He opened Ryou's door and saw Yami sleeping on a chair beside Ryou's bed. Yuugi smiled and crept up behind his dark. He wrapped his arms around his yami's shoulders and hugged him. Yami immediately awoke at feeling Yuugi so close.
"Your shift is over, Yami..." Yuugi said quietly, breathing on the back of his neck. Yami shuddered.
"I know. But I think I'll stay here a bit with you, okay?" asked Yami not really looking for an answer. Yuugi nodded and licked Yami's ear. Yami blushed as he turned his head to face his hikari.
"'Kay..." Yuugi said as he leaned in and covered his lips over that of his yami's. Yami smirked against the timid kiss he was receiving and pulled his hikari into his lap. Yuugi smirked as he put his legs on either side of Yami's hips and squeezed his thighs together causing Yami to erupt into a haze of moans. Yuugi dove into the newly exposed area of Yami's neck when Yami leaned back, sucking, biting and licking. Yami moaned at the new feeling his aibou was bestowing upon him. When had his innocent hikari become so...un-innocent? When, how and why didn't seem to matter to Yami anymore as he pulled Yuugi closer enjoying the feel of his light's small slick tongue on his neck. Right when Yuugi was about to take off Yami's shirt he remembered where he was, and just exactly who else was in the room. He pulled back and Yami moaned in protest.
"Yuugi...Doushite...anata...yameru...?" Yami panted in exasperation. Yuugi smirked and kissed Yami once more.
Not the right place." Yuugi said motioning behind him. Yami sighed softly.
