A/n: new note. {{this}} are lyrics of a poem, since my computer is being a baka and won't let me do italics. That said, enjoy the really long chapter. I combined three or four chapters into this one.

--

As the bright sun rose over the mountains and into a window, lighting up everything in the room, Ryou slowly awakened but kept his eyes shut, he could feel a weight separate from his in his bed.

Silently panicking, he wondered who it could be but immediately relaxed when a soft pair of warm lips enveloped his in a brief kiss. It must be either Bakura or Baz, he thought to himself.

"Hey, Ryou, you awake?" Ryou opened his eyes to see Baz kneeling on the edge of the bed, dressed in some of Ryou's clothes... they didn't look too bad on him. In fact, they kind of looked better on him than on Ryou.

"Hai, and what are you doing in my clothes?" Ryou laughed at the look of embarrassment on Baz's face. "S-sorry, I just-"

He cut himself off when Ryou held his hand up. "It's alright, love. Why don't you go make some breakfast, I'll be down soon."

{{If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door,

I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more...}}

As Ryou slowly walked down the stairs, thoughts of what had happened the past few days were scattered in his mind. The rape of Bakura, his own raping... too many things happened at once, he decided.

He smiled as the smell of bacon and toast wafted from the kitchen. However, he froze when he heard some feminine voice screech, "Shizuka ni bakayaro! Do UNAGASU anata fureru koto watashi wo tenshi! Watashi wa korosu [1]!" He knew this couldn't be good.

Ryou silently and carefully slipped past the wall and behind a plant to see who the catfight was between.

He didn't believe it. Anzu was standing in the doorway, her hair standing out like Yami no Malik's did at the Battle City Finals, but much, much worse. She was wearing what looked a big bear suit [2]. She seemed to be foaming at the mouth, which Ryou knew wasn't a good thing. She had a crazed look in her eyes, looking from Bakura to Baz every few seconds.

As Ryou slowly started to walk over to Baz, and then stopped when Bakura told him to via mind link, he wondered what he should do. He got an idea.

Ryou merely strolled over to Anzu, who had noticed him by now and was staring at him with the same freaky look as she had been gazing at Bakura and Baz with. He took her by the elbow, quietly led her outside while she went ranting and raving even louder, and closed the door behind him.

Looking expectantly at Bakura and Baz, Ryou strolled over to the stove. He sniffed the fumes and softly moaned. "That smells good, when is it going to be ready to eat?"

Bakura and Baz's jaws hung to the floor.

As Ryou scooped the eggs and bacon out of their respectable pans, Baz and Bakura collected themselves and sat down to breakfast.

During the clicking and clacking of the forks and knives, Ryou asked, "So, what shall we do today?"

Baz and Bakura started to get ideas.

--

"Yami, I still want to know why you are going to the arcade. You know Yugi and Yami no Yugi are going to be there, along with their friends."

Bakura chuckled. "Hai. So I will go there and taunt him and the pathetic Ex- Pharaoh that he is."

Ryou rolled his eyes. "Some things will never change."

--

{{If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,

I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day...}}

--

As the trio arrived to the arcade, they weren't surprised to hear, "PHARAOH NO BAKA! HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY LIGHT!"

As they made their way over to the tables of food, they saw Yugi, Yami, Malik, Ishtar [3], Joey and Seto gathered around a table. Yugi was in Yami's lap, Malik was in Ishtar's lap, and Joey in Seto's lap. The six people turned heads and smiled when they saw Bakura, Ryou and Baz. Well, some of them smiled. Yugi and Malik smiled at Ryou, Yami and Ishtar glared at Bakura, and Baz was just cut out of the picture.

As Bakura sat down with Ryou in his lap, Baz merely stood behind the two white-haired people and stroked Bakura's white head, the tomb robber closing his eyes in pleasure. Ishtar and Yami chuckled when Bakura's eyes closed and Ryou merely turned around and nuzzled into Bakura's chest, Bakura's arms draped around Ryou's waist in a gentle embrace.

Seto also chuckled at this. "Looks like someone is enjoying themselves a little too much, Ryou."

Ryou send a soft glare Seto's way, but the CEO of Kaiba Corp merely brushed it off, and he turned to Joey. "So like I was saying, puppy, I am going to fire my secretary, no matter how much you don't want me to. She is always hitting on me, would you like to know how?"

Joey ignored this question. He ran his finger down the chest of Seto, marveling at the perfect body of his love. "Hm? You say something?"

Seto then stood up, sending Joey to the floor, but Joey soon recovered, jumping up and glomping Seto. Seto struggled to keep them both standing, but somehow managed it. As he carried Joey out of the arcade, the group could hear Seto's protests. "...you get off, or no fun for a week!"

After about half an hour of sheer boredom, Baz, Bakura and Ryou bid the four farewell, although they were not quite sure that they had heard them, all four had that look in their eyes that said they were in their soul rooms. They quietly stood up, Bakura and Ryou did, and softly scooted away, Baz tip-toeing lightly as not to disturb them.

When the three came to a street that went into some place, Baz stopped. When they were in the middle of the road to keep going straight and they noticed that the brown-haired boy wasn't with them, Bakura and Ryou stopped, too.

Looking back, they saw Baz rolling around on the ground in laughter. Quickly collecting himself, Baz stood up and called to them, "This is my street, I'll see you later." Bakura and Ryou said goodbye (for then), they were sure it wouldn't be long until Baz was with them again.

As Bakura and Ryou walked the rest of the way home, Bakura brought up an... interesting subject.

"How surprised were you when Baz showed up yesterday?"

Ryou's eyes nearly popped out of his head. "Are you kidding me?! I was either radiating with happiness or... if looks could kill... he would be dead."

"N-nani?!" Bakura stuttered.

Ryou chuckled as he nodded. "Yeah, didn't you know about what happened to us before we moved?"

Bakura shook his head.

"I caught him kissing Anzu in my room, no less," Ryou explained. "He had said that she forced herself onto him in the first place, but I never really forgave him, until yesterday."

--

As Baz walked home, for some strange, bizarre reason he felt he was being watched. He smiled at the memory of that morning, stopping a point in the sidewalk and slipped in between two buildings and leaned his arms over to the opposite building, hanging his head between his arms and his eyes sliding shut.

{{If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute

To stop and say, "I love you," instead of assuming you would know I do...}}

He gasped as someone held their hand over his mouth and, with their other hand, punched really hard, making him black out.

{{Baz's POV}}

As I lay here in what seems a closet, I'm hearing muffled talking and whispering. It seems whoever captured me doesn't want me to know who they are.

{{If you are lost in your way, deep in an awesome story

Don't be in doubt and stray; cling to your lonesome folly...}}

They open the closet enough for me to see a sliver of their faces. Oddly enough, I think the person I see is Rashid [4]. He closes it quickly and turns back to his fellow, confirming that I have awoken and questions what he is to do with me.

When he opens the door again, he has a blindfold and a piece of rope. While he puts the blindfold on, he whispers to me that this is on master Malik's orders, and while he ties my wrists behind my back he says that he is sorry for any pain he causes me. I really doubt this, for he kneed me in the back when he shoved me over to Malik.

As I struggled to stand up, I heard Malik snickering at me. Swinging my leg where I thought he was, I triumphed when my leg hit something and it didn't stop until the thing was down. I then snickered when Malik hit the ground, but quickly tried to untie the rope on my wrists. When I did after a few seconds, I reached up and yanked down the blindfold.

I was in what looked like a dungeon. There were a few torches burning, and the walls were made out of straw.

This place was just saying, "Destroy me."

As I watched Malik struggle to his feet, I was surprised when he had a sneer on his face. I got my guard on, just in case he did funny stuff. He is wearing some odd clothing. It looked like a purple robe pastors wear.

Last time I checked, Malik was no pastor, so I knew something was up.

He started to walk seductively over to me. I tried to step backwards and away from him, but I was against a wall with nowhere to go.

He had me trapped.

He stopped right in front of me. I shuddered and swatted his hand away when he ran it against the inside of my leg.

Instead of backing away and letting me free of this hellhole, which was what I wanted him to do, he grabbed both my wrists with his hands and held them against the wall, moving forward and grinding his body against mine, and I didn't like what was coming.

It seemed to me like he wanted to rape me. But in this case, it would be gang rape, since Rashid was nearby.

I look over to where I last saw Rashid, and I didn't enjoy the sight of his robes whipping around the corner.

{{Reader's POV}}

As Ryou and Bakura walked through the door to their home and Bakura wrapped his arms around his lover's waist and started to kiss and suckle Ryou's neck, Ryou titled his head back to give Bakura more room to work with.

As they walked awkwardly into the kitchen and Ryou opened the fridge for something to eat, he pushed his yami away. "You know, Bakura, you aren't helping," he purred while he turning around and planted a soft kiss on Bakura's lips.

--

As Malik landed a hard kiss on Baz's lips, Baz didn't even bother to push him away; he merely wrapped his arms around Malik's neck and allowed Malik's tongue to dip into his mouth.

It was then that Baz realized that this would be considered 'cheating' on Ryou. 'But,' said a little voice in his head, 'you and Ryou never really got back together, now did you? You just did some little play. So therefore, you aren't cheating on him.'

Inwardly, Baz nodded his head in agreement. Besides, he was starting to like this...

--

As Ryou plopped down onto his bed and stretched his legs and arms, arching his body, his yami allowed the younger one to get comfortable before climbing onto Ryou, straddling him.

As Bakura lifted Ryou's shirt so that the stomach was bare and began to lazily trace shapes on his hikari's stomach with his finger, Ryou arched into the touch and leaned up to Bakura and received a sweet kiss, his hands locking behind the tomb robber's neck.

Pulling back down, their lips still locked, Bakura lifted Ryou's shirt a little more up and ran his hands down Ryou's slim body, his nails digging slightly into the fair skin.

{{For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, And we always get a second chance to make everything just right}}

Even though pleasure was surging through the hikari from Bakura's touches, Ryou took Bakura's hands in his and slid out from under the yami, a look of confusion appearing on Bakura's face for a quick second until he lost it and started frantically nuzzling Ryou's neck. Ryou moaned under Bakura's eagerness but leaned his head back and away just the same.

"'Kura-koi, what are you doing this for?" Ryou moaned as Bakura started to kiss and suck on his neck.

Pulling away and allowing Ryou to turn around, Ryou saw that Bakura had a warmth in his eyes that rarely came around Ryou. "Hikari... I don't know if you realize this, but to me you are someone special. To me, you are... everything. Keep that thought in your heart always; always know that I will always care for you, even if you start to hate me. I could do you no greater honor than to call you my love, but I call you it readily."

A tear trickled out of Ryou's eye and rolled down his cheek in pure happiness. "That was nice," he sighed to Bakura. "Did you get that from a bumper sticker?" Lying back down onto the bed, Ryou closed his eyes in bliss, but was interrupted when there was a harsh knock at their front door.

Grumbling, Ryou got off of the bed after nuzzling into Bakura's neck... but was insistently pulled back into the white-haired boy's arms. "Don't be long," Bakura purred as he pushed Ryou over to the door.

As Ryou stomped down the stairs and yanked the door open, he was surprised when a blonde-haired someone put a blindfold over his eyes and tied it around his head, making it impossible for him to see. Also grabbing his wrists, they pulled him out the door and into a car – a smelly one no less – and drove him to some remote location a few miles away.

{{Bakura's POV}}

When my hikari didn't come back after a few minutes, I started to get worried. I walked down the stairs and faced the front door, but he was nowhere to be seen. I tried reaching him through our mind link, but he was too far away. His voice was a faint muffle.

Panicking, I immediately thought of contacting Yugi and Pharaoh no baka.

Never mind, they were probably doing the same thing that Ryou and I was about to do.

Going back inside and sitting on the couch, I remembered that my hikari was a pretty tough guy and that he could probably defend himself.

{{Reader's POV}}

As Ryou was pushed into a room and he swore under his breath, landing in a suggestive position, he quickly attempted to stand up but every time he tried a leg swung out and he went back down.

--

As Baz and Malik kept kissing, Baz remember something that had happened before.

Flashback

Taking her words to heart, Baz stood up and trudged up the stairs, stopping at Yami and Yugi's door when he heard his old love speaking words of comfort to Ryou. "Yami, you know I love you," he heard the hikari say. "I proved that to you just today."

Baz was heartbroken, hearing his Ryou... no, correction, just plain old Ryou talk like that to Ryou without telling him that is was over, before it even began again... he was... cheating! Yes! That's what it was! Ryou was cheating on him... two can play at THAT game.

End Flashback

Baz grinned. Waiting slowly for Malik to return, he decided to explore where he had been taken to. Finding what seemed like the kitchen, he looked into the icebox and found... yummy fried chicken. [5]

"Mmmm..." he moaned as he tore the skin off of it. Chewing it up in his mouth, he found it rather enjoyable.

"Bazu-chan!" Malik scolded him as the blonde entered the kitchen. "Why are you eating that? That chicken leg was my dinner!"

Baz held it out far enough for Malik to take a bite out of it. "Have some, then."

Malik took a bite out of the chicken leg, and then gave Baz a deep kiss, sliding the piece of meat in between their mouths.

{{So hold your loved ones close today and whisper in their ear,

Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear}}

Soon breaking the kiss for air, Malik swallowed the piece of chicken he had stolen from Baz's mouth. "Mmmm, tasty. Wanna come see the present I brought you, love?"

Baz thought this over for a moment, but he consented. "Sure."

Walking a short distance, a breath of air caught in Baz's throat as he saw a head with white hair bowed into submission. The arms and legs had been tied behind the captured person, putting them into a very... suggestive position.

Turning to Malik and grinning widely, Baz snaked his arms over the blonde- haired man's shoulders and kissed his gently. Pulling away and braking the kiss, Baz kissing and sucking on Malik's collarbone, he let nipped hard. "Why did you bring him?"

Lifting Baz's chin with a solitary finger, Malik looked his newfound love in the eye. "I thought you would like him all wrapped up with a bow on top. Was I mistaken?"

Contemplating his answer for a moment, Baz concluded his answer with, "I don't think so."

{{Tomorrow is not promised to anyone young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight}}

Quickly pressing his lips to Malik's and hurriedly pulling away, Baz ran through the door he came into the kitchen through.

Searching frantically for the exit, Baz ran through what he thought was, but he ran straight into Rashid. Obviously seeing that Baz walked out of there, he led the man to an exit and whispered, "Good luck."

Running outside and finding a neighborhood that he didn't recognize, Baz ran to the nearest busiest street and found him in a place he knew from memory.

Running back to Bakura's house (or to where he thought Bakura lived), he knocked rapidly on the door.

Bakura, coming out and smiling at him, asked, "Do you know where Ryou is?"

Baz's head went up and down. "Hurry, Malik has him and plans to... well, I don't know what he wants to do with him. Come with me!"

Running over to their car and allowing Baz to drive there, Bakura gaped when he saw where they arrived. "I know this place!" the albino exclaimed. "This is where the Pharaoh's twerp had to duel Bandit Keith, when Malik had people under his control."

Brushing this off with a wave of his hand, Bakura stormed into the building. "MALIK!" he screeched.

Malik walked calmly out of a room. "Hai, Bakura, darling?"

"Don't 'darling' me, you bastard. What have you done with Ryou?!"

With a flick of his hand, four people walked out holding an uncontious Ryou with a knife at his throat. "I haven't done anything with him... not yet, anyways."

Bakura, seeing his love like this, bowed his head as tears slowly but surely rolled down his cheek. "...Why, Malik? Why did you do this?"

Malik laughed softly. "Why, Bakura... I want your old lover, Baz. But since he ran away from me..."

Baz ran up and grabbed the collar of Malik's robes, lifting the blonde off the ground. "I'm right here, so why don't you let Ryou go?" he growled.

Malik, still smiling, raised a hand and swung a finger back and forth. "Tsk, tsk, Baz... like I always say... physical abuse is never the answer... verbal abuse is."

With a snap of the finger in the air, one of the men started to slowly saw away at the thin skin at Ryou's neck with the knife.

Looking Bakura straight in the eye (and it was pretty hard, as Baz was still holding Malik up), Malik whispered, "I'm sorry, Bakura." And with a clap of his hands, the man holding the knife lifted the knife high and plunged it into the hikari's chest.

It means, "Shut up fool! How DARE you touch my angel! I'll kill you!"

I really like a fic, it's called 'Sticks and Stones' by Ayakaishi Fei. In the third chapter, Anzu dresses up as some sort of animal. I think it's a bear.

I get really confused of who is Marik and who is Malik, so now the hikari is Malik and the yami is Ishtar, just to stop the confusion.

Rashid is the name for Odion in the Japan series, isn't it? Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong.

That was what I ate the night for dinner I wrote that part, so it all works out.

--

Bakura: You do know that the readers are going to kill you now, right?

IIIIIIEEEEEE!!! ::Runs for her life:: Don't kill meeeeeeeeee! Then I won't be able to write the rest!

Bakura: ...nani?

Yes! The next chapter will be the last... read and review everyone! ::offers pixie stixs, brownies and chocolate chip cookie dough as a peace offering:: Please don't kill me!
