Forever Fallen
Sorry for the wait you guys! My computer decided to be a piece of shit. I have decided that the summary for this story sucks, and has nothing to do with it. It has nothing to do with Bakura, and everything to do with torturing Ryou. I also named this chapter as some of you might notice, and by that you will be able to guess what happens. Oh well. On with Chapter FIVE
Chapter Five: Too Late
Bakura frowned, watching Ryou. "Now remember, if you need anything, use the cellphone and call either me or that bloody pharaoh. I will only say this once, and never again. I only say the pharaoh because I know he won't hurt you. Its not called trusting him, I just know he won't hurt you. Do you understand, Ryou?"
Ryou gazed up at Bakura from his seat on the couch. On the coffee table infront of him was a cellphone and the remote for the tv. "Yes Bakura, I understand. But where are you going?"
Bakura grinned, already walking towards the door. He pulled on a dark jean jacket and shoved his feet into a pair of Ryou's shoes. "I've got a surprise for you!" He said in a sing-song voice. "Just rest right there and I'll be back shortly!" that said, Bakura walked out the front door and closed it behind him.
Ryou sighed. "Good job Bakura," he muttered to himself, laying back down on the couch and feeling useless. "You forgot to lock the door again."

The white-haired yami wandered around the mall for awhile, trying to remember where that specific show was again. He guessed he must have looked pretty lost, because some random woman walked up to him and asked if he needed any help.
"No thanks, lady. Er... unless, do you know where the petshop is?"
The woman nodded. "Yes, I do. Follow me please!" She started to walk swiftly, and Bakura trailed behind her at a slightly slower pace. After about three minutes of walking, and going up an escalator, she stood in front of a large petshop. "Here you are, sir. Might I ask why you wanted to come here?"
Bakura, who wasn't thinking properly, just grinned and started towards the shop. "My hikari was raped by an egyptian psycho, I wanted to get him a kitten." Since his back was towards the woman he couldn't see the weird look she was giving him before walking off in some random direction, intent on getting away from the white-haired freak.
The petshop wasn't filled with very many people, and Bakura easily located where the cats were being kept. His eyes lit up as he watched the five balls of fur running around the cage. Two of them were orange and white, two were black and white, and one was pure white with bright blue eyes. The white one was sitting in one corner, away from the other four and was looking very lonely.
Bakura tapped the glass and someone put their hand on his shoulder, causing him to turn around swiftly. The store clerk was standing there.
"Excuse me sir, but please don't tap on the glass."
Bakura frowned, looking back at the white kitten. "Can I buy that kitten? The white one?"
The clerk nodded. "Is this your first time getting a pet?" Bakura nodded. "Then while I'm grabbing her, why don't you go down the isles and get some toys and food for her?"
Bakura immediately walked off. He was surprised by all the things cats could have. He quickly realized he should have brought a car or something. He grabbed a plush mouse, a ball with a little bell in it, and another toy mouse. Then he found a cute little cat bed, made of very soft crimson fabric with high sides and a large opening for the cat to get in. He put the toys he had already picked out in it and carried that around instead. Next he found a little red collar and leash, and two food bowls that were also red.
"This cat'll be rich! I hope Ryou likes it..." He grabbed a box of kitten food and some treats, and a little feather tied very tightly onto a string. He found a brush and nail clippers. After that, he felt pretty ready to get the kitten.
The clerk was already at the counter and sitting on the counter was a small red crate ((AN: the freakish boxes with the air holes in the sides and back and the barred door, the kind you can get for small dogs)) and beside it was the white kitten. Bakura placed the cat bed next to the crate and picked the kitten up.
"Its so soft!" he gaspe holding the kitten out and away from himself so that he could get a good look at her. It was then he noticed that she must be the runt of the litter due to how small she was. "How much will all this stuff be?" He set the kitten down and the clerk put her in the crate and closed the door.
"The kitten herself was $500.99, and all this stuff comes to.... $423.26. All together that would be... $924.23. How will you be paying for this?"
Bakura's eyes widened. "Thats almost a thousand dollars! .... here." He pulled out his wallet ((AN: Yes people, Bakura will actually buy something!)) and out of that he pulled a credit card.
After he had paid for everything he picked up the crate by the handle and put the cat bed containing all the toys and food under his other arm. Then he slowly made his way out of the shop.

Ryou sighed, changing the channel again. There weren't any good shows on and he was bored as hell. Or at least, until the door opened.
"Bakura?" Ryou called out nervously, hoping that it was Bakura and not anyone else. He couldn't see who it was because of where the couch was placed.
"Nope. Guess again..."
Ryou knew that accent only too freakishly well. "No! G-get away from me!" he whimpered, pulling his legs to his chest and ignored the flash of pain from such a simple movement. The door was closed and locked and someone was walking towards him.
Marik laughed, standing in front of Ryou. "Are you afraid of me? Oh but you're so pretty.... just so damned pretty..." he reached out and brushed his thumb across Ryou's cheek, earning a whimper from the albino boy laying on the couch.
Ryou didn't answer the question. Marik already knew the answer. And Ryou already knew what it was that Marik wanted from him.
"Ryou you're so pretty..." Marik pushed Ryou off the couch and covered Ryou's mouth with his hand to block the scream of pain. "And so weak, yes... so very weak..." He straddled Ryou's thighs and leaned forward, licking away the tears streaming down Ryou's face. Marik moved his hand from Ryou's mouth in order to start unbuttoning his shirt.
The white-haired teen was crying non-stop, knowing that struggling wouldn't help him any. Marik was too strong. He just wished that Bakura hadn't taken the Sennen Ring, or he would have been able to call for help. The cellphone was too far to reach. Ryou was basically helpless.
Marik managed to rid Ryou of his shirt and grinned widely, running one hand down the pale chest and stomach. "Just so pretty... and so hard to resist...." He leaned forward again, this time over Ryou's chest, and licked it. Ryou shivered in response.
Marik silently pulled a dagger and that bottle of poison out of his pocket and with the dagger cut a long line right across Ryou's chest. He used his free hand to smother another scream. He uncorked the bottle of poison and poured it into the wound. He couldn't smother that scream.
~||~||~||~||~||~
Bakura walked up towards the door to his house when he heard a high-pitched scream. He ran towards the door and with shock, found it to be locked.
"MARIK!!" he roared, and using shadow magic, unlockedthe door and ran in. He set the kitten and its items on the ground and tackled Marik off of Ryou. Marik screamed and dissapeared into the shadow realm. Bakura crawled over to Ryou worriedly. "Ryou?"
Ryou opened his eyes slowly and looked up at Bakura blurrily. "Ba.... bakura....?"
"Yes Ryou, its me. Its ok Ryou, its ok..." Bakura lifted Ryou up and placed him on the couch. "I bought you something Ryou. Stay here while I get it..."
Ryou coughed and sat up a bit. "Its too late... you're too late..." Bakura didn't hear him, and grabbed the frightened kitten from the crate and carried it over to Ryou.
"Here Ryou! I bought you a pet... you can name her..." Bakura placed the kitten in Ryou's arms, and smiled when he saw the delighted look in his hikari's eyes.
Ryou smiled and held the kitten close, scratching her under the chin. "Arctica..." Ryou whispered lovingly.
Bakura grinned. "Darn, I wanted to call her fluffass. But Arctica is better. You stay there and rest, I'll put Arctica's things away," Bakura stood up and sighed. Ryou was already asleep, and the kitten was sleeping curled up on his chest.
"I've been replaced with a cat!" Bakura whined.

How was that? Did you like it?
Ryou: THe kitten's cute but.... THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO ME??
Bakura: -hugs Ryou- it'll be ok Ryou...
Ryou: is there a cure for the poison?
-crickets chirping-
Ryou: WHAT???
Nightmare: heheheh..... -sweatdrop- should I make a cure? Hmmm? tell me if Ryou should live or not!
Ryou: -looks pleadingly at the readers-
