Chapter 6: Ryou's new side
When Bakura returned home from his date, he realized that Ryou was still at Yugi's house. He snickered as he went into his soul room to find Ryou in his own soul room.
"Why aren't you talking to Yugi?" Bakura asked Ryou, peering into the hikari's soul room.
Ryou just shrugged. "You need to stop lying, Bakura."
Bakura looked shocked. "What are you talking about?"
Ryou just snickered. "I know you went on a date with Natale. Now you are gonna wish that you never did."
*~*The next day*~*
Ryou had an idea in mind as he twisted and turned the dial on his locker. "13, 21, 43…"
As his locker came open after several tries, he had to drop his book bag to catch some flowers falling out of it. The idea he had flowed out as his eyes nearly popped out of his head when he read the name on the card.
Dear Ryou,
It happens all too quickly, doesn't it? Well, I'll make this quick.
I love you more than all the stars in universe, grains of sand on the beach…. clothes on your floor.

Ryou jumped for joy when he read who it was from, for now he didn't need to do anything but seduce her and it would be perfect.
*~*~*~*
"Nikoru, you shouldn't have done that," Natale told her. "You will not gain anything from breaking his heart."
"How do you know if he even likes me?" Nikoru seemed wary of her sister. She didn't have very many friends, Natale didn't, because people didn't like the same things as she did. She liked things such as her karate class, and you can't forget her PS2 and Diablo II.
Natale smirked. "I saw him this morning. He looked positively gleeful when he read the note. I just wish you wouldn't do it. Why would you want to?"
Nikoru gaped at her. "You're one to talk. What about Bakura, eh?"
Natale just shrunk away. "Don't talk about him, I've got his number now!"
Nikoru smirked at her, but she only could because the 2-minute bell for class rang. She slammed her locker door and ran for her English class.
*~*~*
As Natale and Nikoru walked-nix that, ran into English, their teacher, Mr. Boyson, yelled at them for being late.
"Punctuality is the key tool in the real world," he told the class. "Never be late, it might be the last thing you do."
*~*~*
As the day came to an end, Ryou slammed his locker door shut to find Nikoru on the other side. She looked positively gleeful, even though she still wore the simple jeans and T-shirt along with a big, wide smile.
"Hey there," Ryou purred. "What is it you want?" he asked, hoping he wasn't sounding harsh.
She just shrugged. "Maybe we could go out, sometime." She slapped herself for sounding so stupid.
Ryou smiled. "That sounds nice. 7:30 tonight okay for you?"
She nodded. "See you tonight," she said while running off to the bus.
*~*~*~*
As the night came, Ryou got ready in the bathroom. He had told Bakura he was going to a nightclub, so Bakura had gone wondering in night, just walking around the neighborhood and scaring the little kids.
Ryou had dressed in what seemed as the tightest black shirt on the market, along with extremely tight purple leather pants that hugged his legs like a second skin. He had buckles on his neck and upper arms. His snow-white hair was tinted with black at the tips of it.
When the door to Nikoru's house opened, she was a sight to behold. She had on a dark purple shirt (the same shade of purple that Ryou's pants had) and dark blue pants. In her hair were some beautiful flowers that accentuated her eyes. For footwear, she had on some boots that stuck to her legs like white on rice.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Knock knock knock.
The next sight Marik and Malik was Bakura with tear streaks on his cheeks standing at their door.
"He is going out with that slut, Nikoru," he told them when they asked why he isn't with Ryou.
Malik got a grin on his face. "Where is he going?"
"The nightclub on Washington and Wall Avenue. Why?" Bakura knew the yami had an idea, but he wanted to know what it was.
Malik snickered. "Let's go there, I'll tell you the plan on the way."
*~*~*
"So let me get this straight," Bakura concluded as the three were walking into the nightclub. "I am to confront Ryou and tell him to be honest with me?"
Yami nodded his head proudly.
"You yami no baka, you are even more messed up than at Battle City."
Malik stared at him incredulously. "What do you mean? I'm still the evil, demented, psychotic kleptomaniac that you all have grown to know and love. I haven't changed a bit."
Marik snickered. "If you haven't changed, then I'm not related to Ishizu. Of course you've changed."
Malik then stared at his own hikari. "How have I changed then?"
Marik and Bakura grinned. "You have grown a heart," Marik admitted. "You have not tried to kill me OR Bakura, and so therefore you have changed."
Malik laughed. "Just because I have given up on trying to destroy you, that does not mean I changed in the least."
Bakura just stared at both of them. "You two are just like an old married couple. Come on," he said, grabbing their wrists and dragging them into the club as their jaws layed on the ground in surprise. They were married?
*~*Ryou's POV*~*
As I sat in the nightclub and chatted every now and then with Nikoru, for some reason I looked at the door every time it opened. Have of me wanted Bakura to walk through those doors, but the other half knew that he wouldn't.
I gaped when I saw Bakura, Marik and Malik walk in here. Well, Bakura was dragging Marik and Malik by their wrists, despite their protests. I saw him notice me and his jaw dropped as well. I watched the 3 walk past Nikoru and me and sit at a table, and I turned away when Malik leaned across their table to whisper something to Bakura.
I sent one simple message to Bakura.
/If you try anything to embarrass me, you cunt, you will regret the minute you dragged those two freaks in here./
*~*Normal POV*~*
"Marik and I are going to go up there and sing," Malik told Bakura. "You are going to right after us. Tell Ryou your feelings through song."
Ryou put his head down as he saw Marik and Malik walk to the front and they both started to sing. Not to each other, but to the audience.
"When you feel all alone,
and the world has turned its back on you
give me a moment please to tame your wild heart.
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief
And people can be so cold."
As they sang, people started get up and walk off, dancing in pairs. Ryou leaned over to Nikoru and asked, "Would you like to dance?"
The mantra 'say yes, say yes, say yes' went off in his head.
She turned and frowned. "Not really. Dancing isn't really my thing, you know?"
Ryou had to use a lot of his might to stop himself from swearing.
"Let me be the one you call
if you jump, I'll break your fall
lift you up and fly away with you into the night.
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone."
The yami and hikari must have decided then that that was enough, for then they stepped down and motioned for Bakura to go up.
One itty-bitty problem arose then.
Someone was already at the mike, and they started to sing.
"Every time I think I've had enough of you I take you back again
not because I need a friend, just because I can't pretend, like the others do.
You think you're really serious, clever and mysterious,
Talking like you're dangerous, talking like a fool."
The figure sang on, totally unaware of what he was doing to Bakura.
"Every day there's someone else who wants to get with me
I'm telling you, if you know what's good for you, treat me like you used to do,
Love me like before."
Bakura gaped at the singer. It was like they were saying everything he wanted to say to Ryou.
"Because all I can do is watch and wonder where the boy I know has gone.
You say that you want me, well it's time to tell your friends where they belong.
You can find it in your heart, give a little love, have a little faith, in the two of us.
You can find it in your soul, give a little love, have a little faith, in the two of us."
Ryou sang on, not even looking at Bakura.
"Because all I can do is watch and wonder where the boy I know has gone.
Little boy I don't want anything to do with you, get on your knees, I'm the one you have to please,
Not the one you want to be, I don't think you're cool.
Because you know you can only watch and wonder where the—"
Bakura had strode to the front of the room and cut Ryou off with a gentle, yet hard kiss. He knew the next few words to the song, and he didn't want Ryou to be embarrassed to sing them.
He frowned and pulled back when he heard all the girls in the room go "Aaaawwwww."
Ryou smiled. "Go ahead and send them, Kura," Ryou giggled while he wrapped him arms around Bakura's waist. "Even Nikoru."
Bakura looked at his hikari in shock. "I didn't kiss you because I wanted to, baka. I did because it was the only thing I could think of so you wouldn't sing the next words."
Ryou looked mad. Nix that, he was mad. He punched Bakura in face and walked off the stage while all the girls, their boyfriends, Marik and Malik stared at Ryou in unbelief. When Bakura looked unfazed and he started to walk towards Ryou, the hikari began screaming at Bakura, emphasizing every word with an action.
"I" Ryou punched Bakura in the gut. "WARNED" A backhand slap to the face. "YOU" Bakura's head bounced off the floor. "NOT" Another punch. "TO" A kick in the shin. "EMBARRASS" A twist of the arm. "ME!" A snap from the elbow. Now Ryou stopped being creative, and instead persisted in punching Bakura's face in, using alternating hands. "I WARNED YOU! WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT JUST ONCE?"
No reply came from Bakura. In fact, all he seemed capable of now was sitting in the corner blithering away quietly to himself. Ryou dragged Bakura out of the way and stood up, panting.
Marik and Malik looked on in shock. "Erm…are you okay Ryou?" Marik asked, one hand slowly reaching for Ryou's shoulder. "You've never flipped out like that before…"
"Yeah," Malik agreed. "Though I have to admit…it was pretty cool!"
Ryou just shrugged. "I warned him not to embarrass me, but he did anyways. I just didn't want that done, I guess."
Ryou turned to everyone in the nightclub, for they seemed to be staring at him. "Yes?" he asked as politely as he could, which wasn't very polite then. Everyone but Nikoru, Marik and Malik stampeded out when he said this one word, for obviously they thought he would do that again and they didn't want to be the ones that he did it to.
Nikoru stood up and walked over to Ryou. "Sunshine, I don't think this'll work out." She turned to the thing called Bakura. "Oh and would you tell him that Natale didn't like him in the first place? Thanks, hun." She walked out, trailing behind the rest of the folk.
Ryou did the biggest sweatdrop in the history of sweatdrops while she said this. He knew she didn't like him in the first place, so there was no point in telling him.
When Bakura came to his senses a few hours later, he warily walked over to where the 3 sat. "Hikari, why did you do that?" his voice shook with silent sobs.
Ryou just smirked. "The same reason you went and kissed me. I didn't want to, but it was better than what else I was going to do."
Bakura's eyes narrowed. "What were you going to do?"
Ryou told him via mind link, as his face blushed big time. /I was going to kiss you back./
Bakura's eyes softened as he walked over to the door of the nightclub. //I'll be waiting,// he purred.
Ryou let out a cruel, yet compassionate laugh. /I'll be right home. You go on ahead. I won't be long./
As Bakura headed out the door, Marik and Malik sat with confusion on their faces. Ryou turned to them and whispered, "It's all right now. I'm sure either Kura-chan or I will call both of you if we need some violence control. Wait, why would we call you then?" he laughed.
Malik just nodded. "Better call Yugi and Pharaoh no Baka if you need violence maintenance. Come, hikari, I think Ryou and the tomb robber want some alone time now."
As Ryou walked home alone (or so he thought), his thoughts wondered to what had happened that night. Heck, to what had been happening all week.
'I don't think I can handle any more of this', he thought as he went inside and shut the door behind him, leaning against the door and taking several deep breaths to calm and redirect the blood that had suddenly began to rush towards his arousal.
"Why not?" Bakura purred as he strode towards Ryou. "I was wishing I could give you a little more. Was I mistaken?"
Ryou laughed as he placed his arms around Bakura's neck and slowly leaned up to brush his lips against his dark's. They had little puppy kisses, until Bakura broke away and started to nuzzle and moan into his hikari's neck; when he traveled northward and reached Ryou's ear, he began to sing.
"Stranger than your sympathies
this is my apology
kill myself from the inside out,
now my head's all filled with doubt."
Bakura pulled back and whispered, "I'm sorry," before he went down and claimed Ryou's lips in his own, pushing Ryou flat against the front door.
Ryou's lips smashed into Bakura's and they turned white as someone walked through their door.
The figure snickered and turned to Ryou and Bakura each. "You are going down."
