~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Waking because of a strange dream Ryou sat up quickly in bed, sweating and gasping he turned to see Yugi by his side. He stirred a little but at least he wasn't awake, he smiled fondly of his nights events with the short teen. Ryou laid back down and wrapped himself around the naked, sleeping Yugi, he closed his eyes and drifted away in to blissful sleep.

Love is bitter sweet!

Chapter 5 - You always hurt the one you love!

Morning and sun beams filtered through half open curtains, and danced over Malik's sleeping form making him stir from his slumber. How dare the sun taunt him with its happy light and disturb him, Malik shielded his eyes as he got up and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Fucking sun", he snarled quietly. "Come to think of it how did me and Bakura end up in bed"? An unanswered question as the blonde rose from the bed, the thought confused him slightly for they were doing it everywhere else round the house except the bed. "Agh that hurts"! Malik yelped as he headed to the shower, he still felt sore and he ached terribly you could say he waddled more than walked. Audibly sighing the teen got in to the shower and groaned as the hot water massaged his aching muscles, he leant forward and rested his head on the shower wall allowing water to flow along his tattooed back.

Bakura yawns and stretches sitting up in bed looking round the room, Malik had disappeared from his side and a look of disappointment crossed his face. He got up and walked from the room noticing here and there were pieces of his and Malik's clothing, Bakura grinned he now knew where his love would be and he was always right. Smiling he confirmed his suspicions when he spied Malik in the shower, he slowly crept in behind Malik and began to massage his shoulders. The blonde Egyptian groaned in pleasure as he felt the dark's strong hands smooth out the tenseness in his muscles, he leaned in a bit to make those hands knead deeper.

"How do you feel this morning Malik"? Purred Bakura as he hands went lower down Malik's back still massaging as he went.

Malik turned to face the tomb robber, "My arse is sore".

"I suppose it would be, after last night", Bakura laughed. "You will recover soon".

"For your sake I better", grinned the blonde. He wrapped his arms round the dark's neck and kissed him. "That was to say good morning"

The white-haired teen smirked, "If that's how you say good morning I can't wait to see how you say 'good afternoon', 'good evening', and 'good night' heh".

Malik laughed, "You will find out soon enough".

"I can't wait", Bakura chuckled. "Turn back round Malik". Bakura reached for a sponge squirted some shower gel on it, and proceeded to wash the blonde all over. Soap bubbles arose all around them as they washed each other and laughed, messing about with the water and generally being naughty. The yami got out first shaking himself like a dog spraying water everywhere, then wrapped that cream robe round himself and ties up the strap. Malik stepped out grinning at his lover and found a towel to wrap round his bottom half, he tilted his head a little making Bakura shiver because when he did that it made him look cute.

Laughing slightly the blonde walked out the bathroom, "I'm going to see if I can find my clothes".

It was while Bakura was getting dressed that he felt it, a wave of emotion from his hikari Ryou and it was all directed at someone close to him. Enraged Bakura fumed at the audacity of Ryou giving feelings to anyone but the spirit himself, he stormed down the stairs almost shoving Malik over as he seethed darkly.

"Hey Bakura what's up"? Asked Malik as he ran after the tomb robber stalking out the door. "Wait up and answer me".

"That little arsehole has betrayed me again", Bakura seethed. "I now know where he is, he should hide his feelings better".

Malik grabbed at him, "Calm down Bakura please, there's no need to go insane".

He got no answer the yami shrugged off his grip and continued walking to Yugi's house, the blonde Egyptian walked by his side watching the white-haired Egyptian with concern.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bakura kicked the door of Yugi's house with such ferocity that he was making a dent in it, Malik fidgeted wanting his love to stop this sudden madness.

"Please Bakura stop", he pleaded.

"Hell no", came a growl.

The door opened and Yami stood there frowning, "Why in Ra's name are you trying to kick our door down"?

Yelling the dark said, "WHERE THE FUCK IS RYOU"? He punched Yami in the stomach and began his search, hearing noises from a bedroom Bakura prepared to open the door.

"No you can't", wheezed Yami as he struggled up the stairs. "You won't like what you will see". Snorting at Yami's comment he walked in and saw what he thought would never happen, he rubbed his brown eyes but no the scene would not change. Right before him on Yugi's bed was Ryou on his hands and knees with Yugi behind him, both were naked and very shocked to see the tomb robber standing there.

Malik held on to Bakura, "Don't do anything please you must think".

"You knew about this didn't you"? He questioned the blonde through gritted teeth. Malik nodded. "You fucking little bastard I have every right to know about. about this, he is MY hikari the brat belongs to me". A fist flew out and punched Malik across his face knocking him to the floor, Malik held his face tears springing to his eyes.

Crying he got up, "I didn't tell you cos I knew it would hurt you, and I was happy with you, you are an arsehole".

Bakura took a step forward shock in his voice, "M. M. Malik I'm sorry don't be like that".

Malik ran from the group, tears streaming down his pretty face, "Don't touch me I don't want you near me. Fuck off". The door slammed and everyone seemed to be frozen in their positions, until Bakura fell to his knees realising he had just lost the only person he loved after his first 5000 years ago. Shocked and shaken from events the spirit of the ring broke in to body racking sobs, he felt alone and it was killing what he had of a soul.

How will I start Tomorrow with out you here Who's heart will guide me When all the answers disappear

Is it too late Are you too far gone to stay This one's forever Should never have to go away

What will I do You know I'm only half with out you How I will make it through

"YOU.. YOU DID THIS ITS YOUR FAULT", Bakura spat the words with venom as he rose and strode over to Ryou and roughly grabbed him away from Yugi. "Get dressed you will help me find Malik NOW". He threw his hikari to the floor and Yugi ran over to the light.

Yugi spoke softly, "Ryou are you alright"?

"Bakura I didn't do anything wrong", Ryou whimpered.

"Get up, worthless scum! You will get dressed and help me", his voice shook with anger and sorrow. "NOW DAMN IT"!

Yami passed a blanket to Yugi so he could cover himself up, Ryou crawled round the room gathering his clothing and Bakura glowered silently crying on the inside. When Ryou had dressed the spirit placed the ring over Ryou's head then possessed his hikari's body laughing manically.

"Tomb robber stop", Yami commanded.

The white haired yami smirked and the ring glowed golden, "Make me I dare you Pharaoh, for I am not in the mood to even toy with the life of your hikari".

Yami stood in front of Yugi protecting him and grimly nodded for Bakura to leave. Chuckling at Yami's fear the dark left the house and began his search for Malik. If he did not find him how would he survive with out his lover?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If only tears could bring you back to me

If only love could find a way What I would do, what I would give If you returned to me someday Somehow, someway If my tears could bring you back to me

I'd cry you an ocean If you'd sail on home again Wings of emotion Will carry you, I know they can

Bakura searched the city high and low looking for Malik, while Ryou sat worried in the soul room.

/Why do I have to help? Why do you have to take over my body?/ Asked Ryou.

//Its your fucking fault I hit him, and so you will pay by helping me//, Bakura growled harshly.

Ryou sighs, /Hai I know, but yami is Malik important to you?/

The dark's steps falter as he feels tears in his eyes, //Hai hikari. Malik is very important to me, that is why I feel so much pain now. I hurt him and I didn't mean it.//

/Yami I know how you feel I feel the same way about Yugi/, the light tries to comfort Bakura.

//You know nothing!// He spat back.

/I know more than you think I do, you are in love with Malik Ishtar and I love Yugi Muto/, he spoke more calmly than he felt. /Learn to accept it yami./

Just light will guide you And your heart will chart the course Soon you'll be drifting In to the arms of your true north

Look in my eyes And you will see a million tear have gone by And still they're not dry

If only tears could bring you back to me If only love could find a way What I would do, what I would give If you returned to me someday Somehow, someway If my tears could bring you back to me

Bakura choked, //Ryou?//

/Hai?/ Ryou whispered back surprised that his yami had called him by his name. /What is it Bakura?/

//Where do you think Malik will be?//

/Why don't we try asking Isis she always knows everything/

//Good idea I will go there now//

Outside Isis was already waiting for Bakura to show up, she looked up yet did not smile at his presence. She stood up and walked towards him.

"You will not find Malik here", she said.

A low snarl issued from the tomb robber, "Where is he? Where is Malik?"

"My brother went to see Rashid, but you will not find him there. Go to the Domino museum Malik is hiding in the Egyptian exhibit", she calmly replied.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Malik hides among the mummy exhibitions his knees drawn up to his chest, and he cries silently at the pain he felt in his heart. He looked up for he had a heard a sound, he sniffed and rubbed his already red eyes. The blonde Egyptian peered round a case and saw Bakura looking around, he saw that the white-haired spirit was using the ring to find him.

"Shit I got no hope of hiding now, that Millennium ring will pinpoint my item any second now", he cursed under his breath. Malik stood up and ran past Bakura who was still looking for him, he ran out in to the street with Bakura close on his heels calling for him to stop.

Bakura yelled, "MALIK WAIT I'M SORRY.. NO" The last word came as tyres screeched to a halt, the sound of a body thudding against a car and then falling to the road. For a while the dark stood in complete shock then he went and knelt down beside Malik's broken body. "Malik my love I only wanted to say sorry for hurting you, please wake up Malik", breaking in to sobs he leant his head on Malik's chest there was no heart beat. And Bakura himself knew all to well about death, it was his fault that the blonde got run over in an attempt to get away from the spirit.

I hold you close And shout the words I only whispered before For one more chance, for one last dance There's nothing that I would not give and more

If only tears could bring you back to me If only love could find a way What I would do, what I would give If you returned to me someday Somehow, someway If my tears could bring you back to me

"Come on son get up there is nothing you can do now", a man spoke as made the yami get away from Malik. "Was he your brother or something?"

Bakura glared at the kind man and snatched his arm away, "Baka he was my lover and a friend its my fault he got run over". Tears were stinging his eyes again. The white-haired teen slunk off as the crowd gathered round the scene of Bakura's great sorrow, he had to find the only person he knew who could help bring Malik back from the dead. "Do not worry Malik I will get you back", Bakura pulls out the Millennium eye from a pocket and sighs. "Only I didn't want to give this back, but you are more important to me than a hunk of magical gold" With sadness etched on his face and feeling like he would crumple up and disappear Bakura went off searching for the owner of the Millennium eye.

To be continued..... OMG I killed off Malik Ishtar *cries* don't worry he will be back soon! ^_^
