~April Roses~

~Chapter 11~

Ryou thought in confusion. What could have gone on?

'BAKURA IS MINE SO STAY AWAY FROM HIM!'

What was that about? Did Malik and Bakura have something going on? That would only equal one thing. 'Bakura's a slut? No!' Ryou pounded his head against the wall over and over continuosly, hoping to kill brain cells in the process. Mara jumped onto the bed. Ryou smiled. He had almost forgotten! Mara was well enough to come home now, but he was cautious of Bakura now. So, Bakura's a slut who kills cats and takes drugs? Mara meowed then flopped down next to Ryou, falling asleep. She was a very lazy cat. That's all she ever did. Sleep all day. What else could an animal do? Animal's don't have thumbs (^__^). Ryou's mind went back to Malik.

'Something must have happened to him- but what? Is he that messed up? What's the deal with him? He acted really rude the other day, and weird. I couldn't tell if he was either warning me or... something else. Could Malik like Bakura? No. That seemed to be more than lust between them. Could Malik LOVE Bakura?' That last thought pained Ryou's heart. He felt torn up, used. Okay, so nothing actually happened, but he gave up alot just to be able to like Bakura! He used to like girls, but he changed that for him, and it turns out that Malik and Bakura have a dirty little secret from the past? "GAH! My brain hurts! No! I can't think that way! It just can't be true!"

"Ryou!" Amane flung the door open to his room and flew into his arms, almost knocking the boy unconsious. "Ryou? You okay big bro?" She asked, Ryou's eyes were spinning.

"Yea, please continue on why you just did that please."

"I need to ask you a question." Amane said.

"Later, I need to be alone for a while,"

"Do you know Malik?" She asked, Ryou sat up. "I just met him the other day, why?"

"I have a message from him. He wants you to give him back the thing you stole from him. He said you know what the thing is, and he wants it back. And he also said that when he get's it back he wants you to stay away from it. Do you understand this message?" Amane asked, looking him in the eye. Ryou stopped. Thing. Bakura. He shot up immediately.

"Well I have a little message for him too, tell him FUCK NO. Okay? Thanks Amane, now get out." Ryou snapped, Amane blinked. "And I have a favor to ask. Can you pick me up from work everyday?" She asked, Ryou picked up Mara and placed her on his lap, playing with her paws.

"Why? Did something happen?"

"Questions! Always with questions! That's the one thing I can't stand!" Amane shouted, Mara woke up and hissed at her, angry because Amane woke her up. Amane stood and headed for the door.

"It was just a question, sheesh," Ryou said.

Amane turned, "I just got into a little fight, alright? Nothing to worry about, I handled it. You know what? Nevermind, I'll just ask someone else to come pick me up. Oh yeah, I talked to dad, um, he said that you better have gotten a job before he comes back into town. He also said to go to bed because we got school tomorrow."

"Uh-huh, ok." Ryou said and turned the lamp on, Amane flicking the light off and leaving. Ryou tossed in his bed and faced the wall, vision going into a blury haze.

Next day at School

"Hey Ryou, what's up?" Yugi asked, cheery as usual. Ryou sighed.

"Nothing. Just have to find a job in three days or my dad will chop my head off, kill me, make sure I'm dead, kill me again just for the heck of it, then toss me in a hole deep in the middle of the woods where no one can find me." Ryou boredly said, Yugi gulped. Ryou faced him, "Gah, I'm just joking Yugi, besides, do you see any woods here in Domino?"

"Oh, heh heh, yeah! I knew you were joking from the begining! Yeah! Eh- okay..." Yugi said, recovering from the shock Ryou had just caused him. "Hey speaking of jobs, my grandpa's looking for another person to watch over the gameshop, he thinks it's too much of a burden for just me to take care of, so, how about it?"

Ryou shook his head, "Yeah, sure, what the heck."

Jou looked at him, "Yo Ryou, wat's da matta? You sures looks like ya got bittin in da butt,"

Ryou blinked, "Okay. I'm going to say this nice and loud. Say what?"

"You look very depressed, wat's da matta? Ooh! I know something that will make ya laugh! Honda, get ova here! We're gonna tell him a story!" Jou clapped, Honda sat down next to him and looked at Ryou. "Ok. This is a story to tell a person when they're high." Honda replied, Jou got closer to Ryou.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I stand before you to stand behind you to tell you something I know nothing about." Jou said, Honda cut in.

"Yeah, Next Thursday, which will be Good Friday, there will be a Fathers Day party for mothers only. Admission is free, pay at the door, pull out a chair, sit on the floor."

Ryou blinked. "This isn't funny, just stupid. Oh, look at the time, I got to go uh- feed the turtles, um, see you later Yugi and I'll call you about that job thing." Ryou said then started to walk away at a fast rate, Honda blinked. "Uh, dude, we weren't finished with the story! Phh, talk about impatient!"

Jou waved stupidly, "Okay bud, you go have a good time feedin da turtles!"

Honda patted him on the back and sweatdropped, "You really were born without a brain..."

Meanwhile outside (yeah, they all eat outside), else where, Ryou kicked at the floor angrily. He wanted to be alone at the moment but no one would let him! It wasn't fair! His mind dashed to the events of which Malik had said. 'HE'S MINE! HE MOVED ON! GAH! Bakura belongs to me now!' Ryou screamed inside his head. He took three steps forward then bumped into someone. He looked up.

"Bakura! What the hell was that the other day? What did he mean by you're his and you belong to him? Huh? Huh!!!?!!!" Ryou practically screamed at him, Bakura growled. He seemed really pissed for who knew what reason. Bakura started to walk away but then Ryou got infront of him. "Will you talk to me? Talk to me dammit!" Ryou demanded, Bakura stopped and took his sunglasses off, glaring at Ryou.

"Malik is really screwed up in the head, okay?"

Ryou turned a deep red, this was all frusturating him. "Well, yeah, but tell me something I don't know! Like you two, are you two seeing each other or something? In the past? Right now?"

"We never saw each other! Okay? Just leave me alone right now."

"No! You got me involved and I plan to stay involved! Tell me what is going on, I don't understand any of this! I'm trying to comprehend this stuff but you're not letting me," Ryou glared at Bakura, Bakura started to get angrier.

"Malik is a nut. He's screwed up. He makes things up in his head, and later he get's so confused he doesn't even know what to think and so whatever lies he keeps telling himself, he keeps believing they're real. No, I never went with him, do you even know how we became friends? He killed his cat, he tore that thing up to shreads but still brought it into the clinic! Blood was everywhere, but somehow in that twisted mind of his he thought it was still alive, that it would live. Dammit!" Bakura sat down on the floor, grabbing at his hair, moaning because of the pain that memory caused him.

Ryou's eyes flashed. To imagine someone killing there pet, and still thinking that it was alive and breathing! That was horrible! He'd never treat Mara like that. Bakura continued, "He thought it was still alive, and he wanted us to fix it, but we couldn't because it was long dead. I pulled him to the side and had a talk with him, when it finally hit him that it was dead, he went into tears. I later asked him for his number so that I could contact him later, check up on him. After that, we kept calling each other, I called to check up, he called just to have someone to talk to."

"He's alone?"

"He has nobody. His father killed his mom, he killed his dad, his sister abandond him. So he would call me. I don't even know how he and I became friends, or even why. I even found out he went to the same school as me. So you see, I still keep contacting him, because if I eventually leave him too, the nut might kill himself." Bakura said, Ryou stared at the floor, almost tramatized by hearing this messed up story.

"So is there anything special that you are doing for him?"

"Letting him think we're together, even though I don't think of him as more than a friend." Bakura said.

Ryou blinked away the tears that were newly forming, "So that means- that in public, anywhere he can see us, we can't be 'us,' right? So that means that 'we' don't exist outside our doors?"

That really struck him.

No.

That really ticked him off.

If he had to be quiet about him and Bakura, then there would be no them.

Ryou stood up, pissed. ".....That's bullshit. I can't accept that as an answer. I'm sorry." And with that, Ryou left.
