Me: yup! ^^ I'm ba-ack! And, I believe that reviewers wanted this fic to be updated, so…yeah.
Shinu: nice intro…
Me: shut up…
Ryou: hey! What's with the other fic? I thought you wanted to finish each story before starting a new one!!
Me: err-
Bakura: yeah, and what's with all the half-written fics you have sitting in your binder? Don't those count towards the 'I will finish one fic I before starting something else'?
Me: well-
Yugi: *chibi-eyes* won't you do a Y/Y?
Me: not right n-
Bakura: *sifts through Erin-chan's fic binder* humm, you do have a half-written Y/Y one-shot here…
Yugi: ^^ yay!
Me: god…just say the disclaimer. Someone. Anyone.
Everyone (excluding Erin-chan): Erin-chan does not own 'Princess Mononoke'. That would be Hayao Miazaki. Nor does she own us!! But she does own-
Shinu: ME!! Oh wait… DAMMIT!!
Yugi: and the storyline. So no suing, okay? *mutters* unless you want a pocketful of fluff.
Me: I heard that!! *tries to strangle Yugi*
Ryou: /hikari to yami/ //yami to hikari//
Bakura: Ryou=Bakura, Bakura=Yami Bakura, Marik=Yami Marik, Malik=Marik
Me: *still trying to strangle Yugi*
Yugi: gag!
Me: *splits into two people, one still after Yugi* erk, I don't think that this chapter will have a song in it. I couldn't think of any that went along good enough with it. I usually base a chapter of a song so I can keep to the storyline fairly well. But I had just started to type and, yeah. So this may not be more confusing…
Warnings: shonen-ai, attempted rape O_o(). Don't like? Don't read.
Ryou's P.O.V.
Damn… It's been over 8 hours since he left. Why hasn't he said anything yet? Maybe I should try to contact him myself…
"Ryou? I don't think 'Kura's coming back tonight. Why don't you just break down and watch a movie?" Marik was sprawled out on the couch, board out of his skull.
"Oh, fine. But I still want to try and contact-" The front door suddenly burst open. There stood a bedraggled looking Yami, apparently flustered. "Yami? What the hell are you doing here? Where's 'Kura? Weren't you supposed to be going with him?" Ryou sprung off the chair he had been sitting on.
"He left me there!"
"Where?"
"Ra dammit! I dunno! We followed Mae Shinu's energy to this building on fire. Suddenly, she was gone! Totally! 'Kura," Yami said with a sneer, "had left me there alone saying to get back to you. Yeah, but that took awhile, seeing as the police and fire department had quite a few questions to ask the only suspect, me, at the scene! It takes a while to try and explain to a bunch of mortals that a recarnated spirit had started it and disappeared into thin air, so I had to eventually wipe their memories. By the way, it took about 1 ½ hours to find my way back. I'm used to the streets of Thebes, not Domino!"
"Oh. So you have absolutely no idea where my yami is?" Ryou plopped back down onto the chair, deflated.
Yami just scowled. "I'm going to have a nice long shower. Anymore questions?" Yami said in a sarcastic tone of voice.
"Yeah, Just one." Marik said. "What's Yugi been up to?" A look of horror was plastered across Yami's face. He apparently had gone of to Bakura's without enabling the link, meaning he had probably worried his hikari to death.
"Ah, y'know? I think the shower can wait. See you all later!!" He shot out the door, heading to the Kame shop.
"O…kay. So, about that movie…"
Ryou looked disbelievingly at the hopeful yami. "Well, if we must, let's watch one of my favourites; Princess Mononoke. You should like it. Tonnes of blood and gore…"
Marik's P.O.V.
"mmm, sounds tasty." Ryou gave me a look like I was some kind of psycho. Well, I guess he'd be right. Naïve child. Wouldn't it be fun to steal his innocence from him? That would blow my cover with 'Kura, though. I still might need him… The news about Mae returning was exactly the kind of thing I had waited for all this years. Not even my own, sadistic hikari had been informed about my secret shared only by Mae. Not even public knowledge to Bakura, the 'head' of our little band of robbers.
Ryou got up and headed to the movie cupboard under their T.V. It was filled from top to bottom with various anime, movies and episodes. If you really looked hard, you could make out a few movies with something suspiciously close to 'hentai'. Must belong to Bakura…Finally, Ryou had thrown half the DVD cases out, looking for the reason he had been in there.
"Ahh, here it is! Princess Mononoke!" Looking harassed by the offending movies, the little hikari stood up and proceeded to insert the disk. A solitary flaxen lock fell over his pale skin. Trying to control myself from pouncing on him right there and then, I closed my eyes momentarily, seeing if I still maintained Mae's mental link.
Shinu's P.O.V.
[[Mae…]]
[M, Marik? Is that you?] I opened one eye, and hastily shut it again. No need for Bakura to know I wasn't asleep.
[[Yeah, look. I have the hikari here. Yami left for the Kame Shop. He won't be back.]]
[Great, the tomb robber's right here beside me. He thinks I'm asleep, and thanks to my great acting, hee hee. I think he, *trusts* me!] I tried my best to keep a straight face. The number one code of a robber was not to trust anyone, ever. He must have lost that to his hikari. Fool. I don't trust anyone, not even Marik. And I doubt I ever will.
[[Hah! Fool. He should know better then that! But, things can't be helped.]] I caught the flash of sarcasm and glee in his voice.
[The plan?]
[[Same. Still remember it? How many lives have you had since then?]]
[Yes, only two. One of acting and another of martial arts. You should try me sometime. It's sure to be a great fight!] Yeah, right. What I didn't tell him was of my other lifetime. One he doesn't really need to know about, and I'm sure that he'll turn on me at some point in time. What a surprise he'll get…I almost can't wait.
Bakura's stirring. Was he asleep? It's only been an hour now. He was thinking about his hikari, I can sense it. Why hasn't he talked to him yet?
"Shinu?" The albino shook me, expecting me to be asleep. Groaning, I tried my best to make it sound like I was asleep the whole time. Twitching my eyebrow and stretching, he was convinced. I thought. "I need to go home to Ryou, my hikari." He stood up to leave. "See you around, Mae." So, using my last name, Bakura? Has your old flame been replaced with a new one? Has your 'Ryou' really affected you that much? Or have you subjected yourself to the fatal flaw, love. This was defiantly more then lust, anyway. How far would you go for your hikari, then? Humm, that's something to think about. This could be useful…
Normal P.O.V.
The woman disappeared into the forbidding darkness of the night, a solitary piece of charred grass left behind her. She would never be betrayed like that night ever again.
*
"Dammit. That was a good movie, why'd it end on such a happy note?" Marik sulked, pretending to be annoyed at the movie; masking his feelings of annoyance at his partner, Mae. Why was she so late?
Ryou rolled his eyes, wondering how Marik had become so corrupt. He feverously checked his watch. Ten hours… How long was Bakura going to take? Was it possible that something had gone horribly wrong? Biting his bottom lip, the worried tenshi tried the link for the thousandth time. Why didn't he answer? Wasn't it him who had said to keep it intact? Did something disable the link? He fidgeted in his chair, staring into the hallway, waiting for the door to burst open; Bakura to bound in and start rambling why he took so long.
Marik was contemplating in his mind. The yami glanced over at the worried Ryou. Well, whether he would loose Bakura or not, he needed some sort of entertainment for the night. Ryou had said he couldn't reach Bakura through the link, and he was already gone for 10 hours. What's the possibility of him coming back soon? "Slim to none."
Ryou looked at him quizzically, wondering what he had meant. But whatever it was, he wasn't getting good vibes from him. It was almost like there was something inside of him screaming to get away, but was on the other side of a door.
"Come here, Ryou. I want to, ask, you something" Ryou stiffened. This was it. His intentions were defiantly not good.
"N-no. You can ask from there. No one else is here." Why would Marik want him to go over there? Ryou shuttered at the thought.
"I said get over here!" Marik's eyes flashed dangerously at him. Standing up, he took four long strides towards the wide-eyed hikari. Grabbing him by the front of his t-shirt, Marik forced the squirming child to the ground. Placing one of his hands on his neck to keep Ryou from moving, he continued to try and straddle him.
"M-Marik…what in b-bloody hell are…you doing?" Ryou gasped and squeaked, trying to draw even the tiniest of breaths. Trying to pull his steel iron grip from his neck, Ryou swung his fist aimlessly at his antagonist. To bad he dodged every punch thrown in his direction. "N-no…"
Marik had successfully placed himself overtop Ryou, now ripping off his shirt to reveal Ryou's pale and scarred chest. Tossing the useless article to the side, he moved down to the hem of the tenshi's pants.
He was shacking uncontrollably now. Tears streaming down his face, Ryou tried with no result the mind link again.
/B-Bakura!!!! /
//…// No one. This wasn't the best time to panic, and Ryou tried as hard as he could to ignore Marik, now fiddling with the zipper. Taking a deep breath, Ryou mentally slammed against the wall blocking the link. Nothing. He tried again and again, no luck but not giving up. He could do this. Moving his now numb legs, Ryou slammed the wall again.
Marik looked up from his currant occupation to study Ryou's face. He wasn't struggling as much now. The mind link. That must be it. Marik raised his hand to above Ryou's face. Concentration was one of the main components of a mental link. Bringing his fist down hard, Ryou snapped back to reality, letting out a shout. Blood stained the carpet and his skin.
In a rush of fear and emotion, Ryou ran at the wall one more time. A crack. It burst apart, flooding the link with pain and panic. /BAKURA!! /
*
Bakura cruised down the highway, towards Marik and his hikari. Smiling slightly, he wondered what they would have done for all this time. Marik probably tried to burn the house down or interrogate the liquor cabinet for more booze. Sweat dropping, he almost missed their driveway. Turning up the driveway and turning the engine off, Bakura chucked the helmet into the side bush.
He heard a faint shout. "What?" Maybe they're watching a movie or something…but there seemed to be a pounding in his mind. A mental wall broke inside of him, filling him with fear and pain. The yami turned towards the front door, running at top speed. Okay, so they're not watching a movie…
/BAKURA!! / Ryou?! What the hell?!
He stopped before he ran into the door. Fumbling with the lock for a second, he used the Ring's energy to burst it open. Marik was on top of his hikari on the floor, looking in disgust at him. Ryou was bleeding, his mouth, his face…Noticing the discarded garment on the floor, Bakura attacked the offending yami.
"MARIK!! GET OFFA HIM NOW!!!" Marik looked up for a split second before his face was smashed into the ground. Falling off Ryou, he shot a look of pure anger in Bakura's direction, and received one back. Standing up, he dodged the next punch. He wouldn't be caught off guard again.
Ducking under a kick aimed for his head, Marik took the opportunity to reach for his hand pistol. Aiming it at Bakura's chest. His hand tightened over the trigger, bracing it with his other. Ryou sat up and stared at the pair. His yami frozen to the spot, Marik aiming his gun.
"No!" Jumping up, Ryou rammed into Marik's shoulder just as the trigger was pulled, hitting Bakura's left arm, sending him spiralling. The trigger-happy yami whirled around and shot Ryou's thigh. Screaming, he blacked out from the pain.
Regaining his composure, Marik turned to leave. It would totally ruin the plan if he killed either of them. Stepping out the door, he went in the direction of the 'meeting spot'.
*
"Oww, my arm…" Why didn't it hit my chest though? Marik's aim was that of an assassin. He didn't miss his target. That's when Bakura saw Ryou on the ground, his thigh bleeding now. "Ryou??" Dashing over to his broken hikari, Bakura looked over his wounds. They weren't fatal. That's good. Letting out a sigh of relief, he used the remains of the ring's shadow energy to heal the wound.
Shaking him awake, Ryou's eyed fluttered open to meet Bakura's tear-filled ones. "Ryou…" Squeezing his eyes shut, he pulled his hikari into a crushing hug, shoulders shaking.
"B-Bakura…you came. Marik, he-"
"I know, tenshi. I know."
*
Me: aww, poor Ryou. Marik, you yarou! *hits Marik's head with lead pipe*
Marik: oww! You made me! Stupid author…
Ryou: *sniffle* he shot me!
Bakura: stupid Marik! Don't you know it's not nice to backstab someone then shoot their hikari?
Marik: not my fault!! It's the author's! The author's, I say!
Me: *sweatdrops and slowly backs away from approaching yami*
Yami: where's Yugi?
Yugi: hiding from all you insane people! *turns to readers* pwease r/r.
Me: 'til next time!! ^^ Ja ne!
