Wishful Thinking
A/N: Sage: Well, you know the old saying, "Time to get my ass back to work!"
Kaley: That's not an old saying, you just made it up!
Sage: And I'm older than Bakura so it's an old saying ^_^
Bakura: I'm still in my prime!! In my youth!
Kaley: And when were the pyramids built?
Bakura: Oh I remember it like it was yeste…hey!! No fair!
Sage: Heh, anyways, got a new chapter right here for you (pats computer) Of course, in last chapter we saw that Ai had a err, wonderful idea on how to spend three hours with Bakura.
Bakura: Heh, I can go longer…
Kaley: O_O (kicks him) Hentai!!
Bakura: Ow!! Damn it woman…
Sage: Anyways, we also saw that Ryou regained his lost memories from Bakura, which included the memory of his dead sister Amane, who appeared to him in the form of an angel that saved his life.
Bakura:…you watch way too many soap operas! What's next? Yami finds Yugi in the arms of Marik who is pregnant with Anzu's child?!
Kaley: Hentai!! (kicks him again) No one's that demented!!
Sage: (evil laughter) Or am I??!!
Kaley&Bakura: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Sage: Just kidding ^_^
Kaley&Bakura: (falls over)
Sage: Mwhahahaaa!!
Kaley: (gets up) Anyways, this chapter starts with out usual rambling. Now, once again thanks for the support and here's the new chapter!
Bakura: Oh yeah and Sage here was on the Harry Potter Website -_-
Sage: Slytherin house all the way!! (gives victory sign) I got a owl and a Phoenix wand.
Kaley: Ravenclaw!! I got myself a kitty cat and a Unicorn wand!
Bakura: (shakes head) Please don't encourage them…on with the Ra damned fic…
"So…"
"So…"
"Umm…"
"…"
"Uhh…"
"…Ryou, if you're going to say it then say it!" Bakura snapped. Ever since Ryou had come back from the bathroom, he'd been oddly quiet. Whenever Bakura got up, he would get up. If Bakura moved right, Ryou moved right. Now, after about ten minutes of this amusing scene, the white haired yami had decided that enough was enough.
"Um, well, what do you feel like doing?" Ryou asked, blushing slightly. Bakura raised an eyebrow. 'Feel like doing? And what's with the blush?'
"Uh, well, how about unflooding your house?" Bakura asked.
"How about something else?" Ryou said quickly. "Whatever you want, um, besides unflooding the house."
"Inhale some cleaning solution? What's wrong with you?" Bakura frowned. First, he knew about what happens when you smell cleaning products for too long by experience. Second, something was defiantly wrong with Ryou.
"Um, nothing yami…" Ryou muttered, looking down. Bakura knew his mouth was hanging open. 'Yami?! Since when does Ryou call me that?!'
"Listen Ryou, tell me what the hell your problem is this instant!" Bakura demanded, grabbing Ryou's shoulder. The boy looked up through his bangs.
"…Well, I want to ask you a few things…"
"Like what?"
"…My memories…they came back…" Bakura's heart skipped a beat.
"Oh?"
"Yeah and…you were the one who suppressed them." Ryou said without any hints of emotion.
"Yeah, I did so what?" Bakura kept his careless tone.
"Why did you?"
"Why?" Bakura scoffed. "That's easy. You always cried, you were so sad so I erased what made you sad. I missed your mother's memory though, too hard to hide that one. So I hide everything."
"Why did you hide my memories of you?" The gentle one asked. "I thought I was meeting you for the first time…back when we first came here…"
"I hide that because I was the one making you cry! I couldn't stand it! I can't stand that I was making you cry and that I didn't enjoy it!" Bakura yelled. If he was going to tell him, then he'd tell him everything. "I am the Thief King Bakura! I killed without mercy and drove Egypt down with me into my insanity. I heard the voices of the dead and robbed the Pharaoh blind. I even threw the body of Yami's father in the courtyard, right in front of his eyes and laughed."
"…So?" Ryou lifted his head. "That was thousands of years ago…"
"Do you think being stuck in the Millennium Ring would change me?" Bakura rolled his eyes. "No, it wouldn't. But somehow, when I first came out of the ring and saw you…I felt calm. I don't think you understand what that means. I've never felt at peace in my entire life. But you made me fell that way. And at first I was too shocked to do anything but go along with it…"
"But…?" Ryou questioned.
"But then after awhile my senses came back and I decided on something: That you were mine." Bakura placed his hands on his knees and stared at Ryou. "At first, it was just my host…my landlord. But those feelings were hard to forget. You don't forget being happy. So I guess I've grown more possessive of you…" Bakura grinned suddenly. "How's that for a psychoanalysis?"
"I'm more to you right?" Bakura looked up at Ryou. His eyes were lined with worry and he wasn't quite looking Bakura in the eye.
"More to me? What are you talking about?"
"Nothing, it's nothing…" Ryou hesitated, then lifted his eyes. "No, it is something…Bakura…I'm not just your host am I? I'm not just your landlord? For the past few months you've been different…nicer…you've been calling me Ryou…" Then he smiled gently. "And in my memories that you erased…you called me Ryou…"
"Well of course I call you Ryou!" Bakura snapped. "It's your goddamn name isn't it?"
"Well, yeah but you never used to call me it…Bakura, why did you change?"
"Why? Because it's in my blood!" Bakura thrust out his arm and ran a finger along his vein. "I am a tomb robber, in case you haven't heard the idiot Pharaoh enough. A thief only looks out for himself. We have only a few rules we live by and most of them involve breaking everyone else's rules. My life was hell Ryou. I was living in hell everyday of my life for thousands of years. But…I made one other decision."
"What did you decide?" Ryou inquired.
"I decided that I'd give you a chance."
"A chance?" Ryou frowned. "A chance at what?"
"You don't remember that?" Bakura sounded surprised. "Not long after I first hurt you, you begged me to give you a shot at making me happy. You wished for it every night and tried so hard everyday. So a few months ago I made good on my word. You have your chance." Ryou stared at him. Bakura's cheeks were tinted pink and he looked nervous.
"So then that's why you've been different…because you promised me a long time ago when I was little…" Ryou smiled. "Bakura, thank you…"
"Yeah yeah, so do you forgive me?"
"For what?"
"For…for hurting you and shit like that. For hurting your friends and taking your memories…" Bakura swallowed. "Do you forgive me for everything I've done?"
"Yep!" Ryou grinned at the shocked look on his friend's face. "Of course I do, Kura."
"Kura?" Bakura groaned. "Damn, not that…" Ryou laughed and held his arms open. Bakura grimaced. "Ah shit, c'mon Ryou, do I have to?"
"Yes you do or I won't speak to you." Ryou grinned.
Oh but you can't block me!
Watch me! Bet I can!
No yo- Bakura glared at him. He had blocked their mental link.
"Ahh, damn it Ryou!" He tried to pout but it looked more threatening then cute. That look made Ryou laugh quietly.
"Please?" Ryou returned with his best pout and Bakura caved.
"Fine!" Bakura suddenly threw himself forward, pinning Ryou against the bed. Ryou's eyes were wide and Bakura smirked. He brought his face very close to Ryou's, letting his lips brush the younger one's. "Ryou…want something better than a hug?"
"L-li-like what?" Ryou stammered. He knew that if Ai was watching this, she was giggling her ass off.
"You have to ask for it first." Bakura sang softly in Ryou's ear. The other boy gulped and
"A-a-a-ask for what?" Ryou felt his face burning, Bakura's knee was crushing his stomach and his heart rate had increased to at least triple its normal speed. Bakura grinned.
"Oh, you know…" Bakura licked Ryou's ear lobe. Ryou shivered, even his arms were blushing crimson. Bakura was thoroughly enjoying himself, torturing the poor boy. "C'mon Ryou, ask me."
"Ba-Bakura…" Ryou stared at him. Was Bakura thinking…like Ai was thinking? Were they both thinking of…sex? Was that it? "You mean…s-sex?"
"Ah Ryou you're thinking dirty!" Bakura laughed suddenly, sitting up on Ryou's chest. "I wasn't thinking like that! Ryou you have your mind in the gutter!" Ryou's jaw dropped and he pushed his yami over.
"Bakura!" He shouted, trying to sound angry but it came off more playful than anything else. "I am not thinking sick you are!"
"You have no proof!" Bakura said smugly. "So I win!"
"You licked me!"
"I did what?"
"Damn it you know what you did!"
"Oh did I?"
"You pinned me against the bed!"
"Really now, isn't that something?"
"Bakura!!" Ryou cried, shoving the thief again. Bakura laughed and grabbed Ryou's wrists firmly. Ryou paused and looked his yami in the eyes. He was smiling. Not a sneer or a smirk or something like that. He was really smiling.
"Hey Ryou, I don't just want sex from you so you can get your attractive little mind out of the gutter. Besides, it's so much fun, making you blush." Bakura grinned as Ryou did said blushing. "How could I resist? Anyways, we need to stop goofing off don't you think?" Bakura let go of Ryou and walked out of the room. The hikari stood there, gaping at the door.
"Ryou-kun…" He turned and saw Ai leaning against the wall with a big loopy grin on her face. "If you were waiting for the opportune moment to pour your heart out…" She pointed at the door. "It just walked away."
"Ai, were you watching?"
"What kind of question is that?" Benten laughed. "Course I was! That was pretty nice, don't feel too bad though, Bakura had me going too! I thought you guys were going to make love!" Ai giggled. "I know my husband felt like it from seeing that. Then again, he's a horny little dragon so I don't think it matters too much."
"You married a dragon?" Ryou raised an eyebrow.
"What, you got a problem with that?" Ai crossed her arms. "You know, discrimination comes in all forms."
"No, I don't…never mind." Ryou waved his hands. "So is the flood cleaned up?"
"Yeah, it only took ten minutes. You guys will have to fix up all the furniture and stuff though, we didn't." Ai said.
"…Ten minutes!" Ryou shouted.
"Yeah, I said three hours hoping you guys would bond." She grinned and suddenly jumped onto Ryou. He fell to the floor and Ai grinned down at him. "You are such a little cutie. I'm glad you two had fun."
"Um, Ai?" Ryou groaned. She was only slightly lighter than the lean tomb robber.
"Yes?"
"You know my sister Amane?"
"Oh she's such a great kid!" Benten beamed. "Smart, cheerful, bright. She makes an excellent Cupid you know. She's one of my assistants. In fact, it was she that heard your wish and begged me to grant it. She makes great matches so I figured it'd be easy but she gave me such a fun case! She never mentioned you were her brother though."
"So Amane wanted to help me…" Ryou smiled. "That's twice then…oh and Ai?"
"Yes Ryou?" Benten chirped.
"Please get off me, I can't breath." Ai grinned sheepishly and quickly leapt off him. The white haired boy stood up and rubbed his ribs.
"Sorry bout that…" Ai said. "So, anyways, I'll leave you and Bakura to go clean up the rest…" Ai waved and faded into nothing. Ryou sighed and stumbled down the stairs where Bakura was pushing a chair back upright. He looked up as Ryou came over to him.
"Hey, the water's gone." Bakura glanced around. "Weird huh? I don't know where it all went either. I didn't sense any magic but…" He shrugged and heaved the waterlogged chair back up. "Damn this shit is heavy."
"I'll he-"
"Don't worry, go fix up the kitchen if you want to help." Bakura cut him off. The teen rolled his eyes and went into the kitchen. There wasn't too much to do so he put somehow unharmed appliances back on the countertop and moved the tables and chairs back into the center of the room. He fixed up a few more things here and there before he decided everything was back to normal.
"That looks good." Bakura said. Ryou nodded and turned to his yami.
"Are you hungry?" He asked. Bakura bobbed his head.
"Course I am, c'mon, let's go out to eat." He paused when he noticed how tried Ryou looked. "On second thought, why don't we order in…" He grabbed the phone off the wall and swung it around. Just as he was about to press the talk about, it rang. Though it surprised him, his born reflexes made him answer it. "Who is it?" He demanded, causing Ryou to groan. Bakura had yet to master answering the phone. Bakura was silent for a minute, listening to whoever it was talk. Bakura growled, then said "Well I'm not going to so what are you going to do about it? You gave him the damn thing!"
"Bakura who is it?" Ryou whispered but Bakura waved the question away.
"Yeah well then I'll be waiting for your every so wonderful return." Bakura scowled and jabbed the off button. He glared at the phone and looked up at Ryou. "Guess what? We better go out and enjoy ourselves."
"Huh?" Ryou cocked his head to the side.
"That was your dad." The tomb robber spat. "He's coming home and wants me to leave…again."
"What!" Ryou cried. Whenever his dad came home, Bakura had to leave. At first, Bakura had always stayed and tortured the whole household but the past few visits he'd slept at Malik's house.
"Don't worry." He rolled his eyes. "I ain't leaving this time, he can kiss my ass. So that's why you and I should go out." He flashed a grin. "The next few days are going to be loud.
A/N: Sage: That's all for now. Did you like it? Hope so!
Kaley: Yes most of the chapter was dialogue and not much happened and it was a bit short and…
Bakura: Yeah but that don't matter. This chapter was hard to write because of distractions. No one would let us work!! (growls)
Sage: Also, I often thought that Ryou's dad is an asshole so that's just my view on him. I'm sure not everyone agrees but it's how he's going to be. Maybe an drunk too, I kind of see him like that too…
Kaley: Also, as a test we are thinking of starting another Bakura/Ryou fic after this one. It's going to be slightly more um, accurate though.
Bakura: In other words, I am heartless and insane and Ryou's just Ryou, not some love sick cutie.
Sage: Lovesick cutie??
Bakura: You know what I meant!
Kaley: So what do you guys think? There's about three to 5 more planned chapters of this fic.
Sage: We won't be able to work on this story til new year's so…
Kaley: Merry Christmas!
Bakura: Happy…whatever holiday, insert holiday name!
Sage: And Happy New Year's as well.
