Chapter 4: Broken
Yugi and Yami looked back at the crowd which was slowly dispersing, two women who had been crying were heading towards the two. "It's such a sad thing," one of them muttered. Funny. They didn't even know Messiah, and they seemed to be broken-hearted over his suicide. Yugi was taken up in the arms of his yami, who held him close. The smaller amethyst eyed boy had sadness emanating from his very being, which Yami responded to by placing a soft kiss on his hikari's lips. 'He's so innocent,' the former pharaoh thought. "Can we leave now?" These words snapped the dark spirit out of his trance. "Of course." Yami walked off, comforting and cradling his light. The image of that man's body flashed in the back of his mind. The man had a smile on his face… and that's what disturbed him the most.
----------
"Ryou! Where are you taking me?" Lucia laughed happily as she was pretty much dragged by Ryou. "I want you to meet two friends of mine," he replied, out of breath. He figured Lucia could use a few more friends. If he knew anyone who would be more then nice to her, it was Yugi. Yami would probably be with him as well. Hell, Ryou was almost positive he was with Yugi. Ever since the two had admitted their love for each other, they had become even more inseparable. 'Perfect' his mind voiced cheerfully. The white haired teen's eyes widened slightly as he saw Yami heading their way, Yugi draped in his arms.
"Yami, is something wrong?" Ryou called out to him. Lucia and himself stopped in front of the dark spirit, one looking very confused. The violet eyed badass of course. 'Another set of look alikes?' she asked herself, cocking her head to the side in confusion. "Yugi and I came upon the scene of a suicide, Ryou," the former pharaoh looked down at the sleeping hikari and continued, "Poor aibou… it really upset him." "A suicide?" Lucia questioned. Yami nodded, "And may I ask who you might be?" Ryou mentally slapped himself for not introducing Lucia. "Sorry, my fault. Yami, this is Lucia. A friend of mine." "A pleasure to meet you." "Likewise," a smile lit her features. Ryou yawned. 'It's getting late' he thought. "Hey… Yami? Would you mind showing me where this suicide was? I hate to admit it, but I'm a bit curious." The blue haired girl looked at him hopefully. "It you want. But my aibou really comes first…-" Ryou interrupted, "Don't worry about it Yami, I'll sit here and wait with Yugi. How far away is it?" "Not very far." "Well, how about it?" "Alright Ryou, I'm trusting you to watch over him until I return." "I'll watch over him." They all cut across the street, where it just so happens a park was located. Yami lay his hikari against a tree gently and Ryou sat down beside him. "Well Lucia, follow me." She nodded. "Okay."
----------
'This girl is rather strange.' Yami thought as he led Lucia to the spot where they had seen the body, worrying about Yugi even though he was being watched over. 'He'll be alright' he reassured himself. Reassuring himself wasn't enough. He would never forgive himself if something happened to Yugi. Lucia looked up at the night sky and sighed, reality coming back to her as she noticed how fast the crimson eyed boy walked. "How did you come to know Ryou?" he asked her. She picked up the pace enough to walk by his side and contemplated the question. "Well, to spare you the long, pointless details, I fainted 'cause of my wound and Ryou took care of me. My brother had to go to work, and I suppose he asked him to look after me." "I guarantee you your brother did not ask Ryou. Knowing Ryou as well as I do, he offered." "You're probably right. He's truly been nothing but nice to me…" She shoved her hands into her pockets and pulled out another lollypop, pulling the wrapper off and sticking it in her mouth. 'And she has a strange fetish for lollypops' he noted immediately.
----------
Ryou hugged his knees to his chest as thoughts rushed through his mind. 'What's Bakura doing?' Knowing his yami, he was drunk and passed out on the couch by this time. 'And what was with Yami…? He seemed a little spooked.' Ryou shrugged it off. He was too tired to bother wondering right now. Much too tired. But he stayed awake, to keep his promise to the ex-pharaoh. He watched Yugi sleeping peacefully, and yawned again, sleep threatening to claim him as well. Our brave little Ryou fought it off as best he could.
----------
"Ah, we're almost there, Lucia." He pointed the small group of people and police cars. It had been thirty minutes since Messiah had jumped. Twenty minutes since somebody had found him. And for the past fifteen minutes, Messiah's dead body had been surrounded. Lucia continued to lick her lollypop, reminding Yami of how Yugi always looked. Innocent. She made her way to the front of the pack, Yami in tow. She passed a nun who had thoroughly pissed her off by blocking her way and repeating "May 'ye pray for God's mercy on this young man's soul." "Shove it," she snarled. Finally making it to the front, Lucia fixed her eyes on the body policemen were examining and keeping people away from. "M-messiah?…" Realization hit her like a ton of bricks. Her lollypop dropped and shattered into glistening pieces on the pavement. Yami looked at her curiously, "You know who this is?" Crystaline tears swelled in the corners of her eyes… 'He's dead.' She launched herself towards the body, dropping to her knees and letting her tears flow. "No… no.. please…" "Miss, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to step away." "Piss off!" she shouted. "Messiah… you PROMISED! YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN'T LEAVE ME LIKE THEY DID, MESSIAH!!! You promised me…" she sobbed endlessly. Yami picked her up by the waist and whispered to her, dodging the glares from the policemen. "I'm sorry Lucia. But we must go." "You can't make me go! Please!" "We have to." She was so fragile…
She held in her sobs, silently crying now. She wore a very distant expression as they walked back… an expression enough to sadden even the happiest person. Yami led her like a puppet, his heart feeling remorse for her. 'Was that her brother?' he wondered. Once they had reached the park, Ryou stood up and smiled at them both groggily, not noticing Lucia's tears. "Welcome back." "Hello Ryou," Yami replied, looking down at his sweet little tenshi, enveloped in a peaceful slumber. He scooped up his hikari and nodded to them both. "I hope it wouldn't bother you terribly if I took my aibou and left you both, Ryou." "G'night, Yami," Ryou waved, feeling half-asleep. Lucia sank to her knees, whispering things that the white haired boy couldn't quite make out. He grabbed her hand and hoisted her up, frowning as he caught glimpse of her tear stained cheeks. "What's wrong, Lucia?" "Nothing," replied a monotone voice that he almost didn't believe was hers. He began to lead her home in silence, still wondering, though very sleepily, why she had been crying. "Would you like to spend the night?" "I don't seem to have a choice." Ryou blinked several times and stopped walking.
"What do you mean, Lucia?" She finally broke down. She fell to her knees and hugged his form, crying uncontrollably. "He's dead…" She took a deep breath and sobbed again. Ryou sat down cross-legged on the curb and hugged her tight. "Shhhh. Who dead?" His heart felt like it had been stabbed one thousand times over. "Messiah!" She could barely say the name through her fit of hiccups and sobs. Ryou was in shock. 'Her brother…' Lucia gained control of herself, a thought slipping through her mind before she fell asleep in his arms. 'He was smiling.' Ryou reached down and wiped her tears away with the side of his finger. 'But why?' he questioned as he focused on the moon. It was blood red. Bakura… what is this strange feeling? he spoke to his yami through the mind link before falling into a deep sleep. Mind you, he tipped over onto the sidewalk and bashed his head. A small gash was visible from where his forehead had made contact with the hard concrete.
----------
Bakura was not one of those people who enjoyed being woken up from a nap. He wrinkled his nose in disgust as Ryou's emotions were flooded into his mind through the mind link. His aibou was in pain. A real, soul shattering type of pain inside and out. He growled. Who was hurting his hikari!? Bakura… what is this strange feeling? The tomb robber sat straight up at his hikari's weak call through the mind link. Ryou? Ryou?! Ra damnit Ryou, answer me! All he got was silence… Then he realized something. His aibou was… sad. Terribly.
