Bakura-sama- 66 Reviews. Not bad.
Ryou-kun- Isn't it wonderful though? Look new people!!!
Bakura-sama- Dear Ra! Where are they coming from?
Ryou-kun- They love us!!!
Bakura-sama- Well, here is the welcome to Chip, Just Another Anime Freak :::Bakura smirks::: and Yuu.
~Mistress Black Sabre~ Oh yes, and Chip? You can hug Ryou. Here! :::shoves Ryou through screen:::
Bakura-sama- NO! Ryou!
Ryou-kun- :::muffled voice::: I'm fine, just start the story!
Bakura-sama- She owns nothing.
:::::::::::::::::::::::POY::::::::::::::::::::
A tear trailed down his pale cheek. Bakura was crying. He never wanted
his Angel to be hurt. Now, he felt as if he had lost him forever. 'Why
is this happening to me? To us?' The questions forged in his mind.
There were no answers for his tormented mind. No matter how hard he
searched.
Just then, the door opened. A dark cloaked figure walked in. Bakura
raised his head to see the person walking towards him. Underneath the
hood he saw a glimpse of platinum gold hair and immediately bristled.
"Malik!"
::::::::::::::::Tears of the Sands:::::::::::::::ch. 15::::::::::::::::::
The cloaked figure made his way towards him. Each step seemed to sear into Bakura's aching body.
"I swear, take one more step and I will rip you limb to limb Malik," he growled.
A sound of metal clinging together rang through the silence. The figure kneeled down and inserted a key into the chains. Bakura sucked in air. As soon as he was free his hand grabbed Malik by the throat and squeezed hard. Gasping could be heard underneath the cloak.
"What have you done to Ryou?!"
A very strained voice returned the demand, "I don't know."
"What the hell do you mean you don't know?"
"Bakura let me explain," the sentence ended in a choke.
"Why should I let you speak baka?"
"I'm not who you think I am."
Bakura laughed. "What do take me as? A fool?"
"Remove the cloak."
Bakura yanked off the cover. A gasp echoed about the room.
"I am here to help you escape."
"Marik? I thought that you..... Why?" Bakura stumbled.
"When Malik took you, I watched in horror. I didn't want to do anything then because I was afraid I would not be able to help you escape later," he explained.
"I thought you would be after the Pharaoh by now."
"I was, but I couldn't think right. Besides, I need your help."
Bakura winced. He didn't want any part in the plot. He wanted Ryou. That was all he cared about now. 'Where are you Ryou?'
"I can't help you." Silence answered.
"All I want is to be with Ryou. He is the reason I live. I can't leave him. Malik will pay for what he has done, mark my words. I swear I will have my revenge."
"Then I will help you."
"Why would you help me? I am not doing anything in return."
"There is only one thing I want you to do for me; then I will do whatever I can to save Ryou and insure your revenge on my Yami."
"What is that?"
"I want to kiss you Bakura."
The words slipped so innocently from the mouth of the Egyptian. He kneeled there with bright lavender eyes searching for an answer. Bakura could hear his own heart beating. 'Had he really just said that?'
"Why?" Bakura fumbled in stupor.
"Because, I have learned to love you from a distance. When I saw you kiss Ryou along the coast, my heart sank. I was so jealous, I wanted to kill you. The more I tried to hate you, the more I came to realize I was in love with you. I know you can never feel the same for me; but please, all I ask for is a kiss."
Tears silently formed on Marik's black eyeliner. His lavender eyes swelled up as he brought his hands up to hide his face. Sobs ensued. Suddenly a hand was placed under the Egyptian's chin. Marik felt his hands being pushed gently away. His eyes met two dark chocolate pools. He closed his eyes and felt the warmness of Bakura's tongue invade his own mouth. He was in heaven. Bakura broke the kiss tenderly and slowly stood up. His own hand lowered and pulled Marik up to him.
"Come, we have to find Ryou."
