Sweet Blindness
Chapter 6:
"I can't believe you two would do something like this!" Ryou pouted.
Marik lifted one eyebrow, "But this is us you're talking about."
"Point taken."
"Ryou, we just want to help you two out." Malik explained. "You two have been together for a long time, and it's stupid to end it over a silly fight."
"Yeah, me and Malik fight all the time. But we've never even considered the thought of breaking up."
"This is different. Neither of you ever cheat on each other... espesically while your in the same room with your koi watching you." Tears welled up in Ryou's eyes.
Malik looked at Marik and then back at Ryou.
Marik sighed, "Bakura loves you, he truly does. Please give him another chance... not just for him but for the both of you."
Malik finished where his yami started, "You two deserve that chance. You two are beautiful together, you do know that don't you?"
Ryou couldn't speak, and he couldn't see because all the tears he had were collecting in his eyes. "..."
Marik and Malik lifted the log off of Ryou. He sat up against the tree and closed his eyes; all the tears that had been confined to him now ran freely down his cheeks.
"It's okay, Ryou. Let it all come out." Malik held him against his own chest.
Marik watched him cry, "All you have to do is forgive him."
"I don't think I can... but I know I have to because... I still love him."
Ryou continued to cry quietly into Malik's chest.
-------------------------------------------------
Joey and Bakura walked into one of the guest bedrooms to look Ryou.
"Ryou?" Joey sounded like he was singing.
Bakura didn't say anything; he just wandered around and lightly touched the furniture.
They looked for a bit then Joey joined Bakura at the window, "He's not here, we should go to another room."
"I know he's not here."
Joey starred out the window into the night sky. "It sure is pretty out there..." he looked down only for a minute then looked back up, "Huh?" he looked back down into the backyard.
He saw the trees and grass but faintly saw something else... "What is...its Ryou? It's him, Marik and Malik! They're down there, Bakura let's go!"
Joey grabbed Bakura's hand and raced down the stairs. Bakura was running but he didn't even know whom he was running to anymore, 'He won't take me back, I know he won't!'
They got out of the backdoor and standing only three feet away from him was Ryou. His face was red from crying and his jacket was dirty from the tree, but it was Ryou.
Joey smiled at Bakura, and then nudged him forward. Bakura's whole body felt like jelly and he felt like crying but he managed some words, "Hi Ryou."
Marik and Malik were behind Ryou for support but they nudged him as well, "Hi Bakura..." Ryou knew he was gonna break down and cry again.
"Ryou, I'm so sorry. Truly I am. I've always loved you and I still do. I know I was a monster to you went we first met, then I started to see you for what you really are, an angel...but after today, I feel like I haven't made any progress..."
"Bakura... I...I forgive..." Ryou couldn't say anything else and sank right into Bakura's arms.
They both cried and cried in each other's arms for about a minute, then Ryou slowly lifted his eyes to Bakura's. "Bakura?"
"Yes, angel?" Bakura avoided eye contact.
"No. No, look into my eyes." Ryou led Bakura's face to his. "From now on, only let me see your eyes."
Bakura nodded and kissed the side of Ryou's eye, which wiped away the last of his tears.
Kaiba and everyone else came out into the back yard to see what was going on, "Uh hey guys..." Yugi was turned to Joey. "What's going on?"
"Uh, nothing Yug. We were just going inside."
Kaiba walked next to Joey, "Is everything okay with those two?"
"Never better."
Mai went to the doorframe, "C'mon everyone. I want to watch a movie."
Everyone started to file inside, and Bakura was one of the last to head for the door. "Are you coming, Ryou?"
"Yes, just a minute." He went over to Marik and Malik. "Thanks, you guys. I never would have been able to do this without you..."
"It was nothing, really." They blushed a little.
"Thanks, just the same."
Bakura went to Joey, "And thank you, too."
Joey winked and went inside, so did Marik and Malik.
Bakura started for the door and saw that Ryou wasn't at his side, "Ryou?"
He was looking up at the stars, "Can we stay out here for just a little longer, Bakura?"
"How long?"
"Until the sun comes up..."
"I think we handle that, angel."
"Good, 'cause I think we can, too."
THE END.
