God the Grand (e): Chapter eighteen!

Gandalf: We still don't own it!

"So what school are you guys going to go to anyways?" Malik asked, blowing on his black painted fingernails, trying to get the polish to dry faster. He swung his feet in the air, as he laid sprawled out on his stomach on the floor of Crystalline's apartment. Bakura glanced at Ryou, confused.

"I don't actually know," he said biting his lip, trying to think of the school. Ryou giggled from his side where the boy sat on the newly carpeted floor, lively green eyes looking at Malik.

"Deity school, grades k-12." Marik gasped.

"You're town is so small all the kids go to the same damn school?" he asked, quite bewildered at the thought as he gazed up from the car magazine he'd been flipping through.

"I told you idiots we live in the middle of NO where. There are less than one hundred kids in our sophomore class. Bakura stated smugly, arm wrapping around Ryou's tee shirt clad shoulders. Malik and Marik snickered.

"Well then we know who the new loser of the school is going to be!" Marik joked, setting a playful glare on Bakura.

"Aw, don't say that! There's a couple of kids who are lamer than Kura!" Ryou exclaimed, smiling up at his boyfriend teasingly before resting his head on the older teen's shoulder. His arm encircled around Bakura too, resting lightly at his side. Malik peered to the two, smiling at the sight of them.

"I dunno, you have yet to see Bakura in school," Malik replied, pressing on his chewed up nail to see if the polish was finished setting. Unfortunately, for Malik, the wet nail polish got all over his finger. He wrinkled his nose, not liking the stickiness of the polish, and wiped it on the carpet. "And anyway, it won't matter... Bakura will probably fail 10th grade. You should've seen his transcripts from last year!" Malik blurted out, causing Bakura to glare.

"Like yours were better," Bakura said with a snort.

"Uh Bakura, his highest grade was a B, yours was a C-..." Marik trailed off, furrowing a dark blonde eyebrow at his friend.

"So!" Bakura protested, pulling Ryou closer and pouting. Malik was a stupid show off anyways... He gazed down at Ryou to find joyous emerald orbs looking upon him.

"Don't believe a word they say Bakura. I know you can pass! Besides, you have me now, and I love tutoring!" Ryou chirped, eyes showing the deep admiration and adoration he held for Bakura. Bakura grinned, petting Ryou's head, making the younger smile with glee.

"I'd love for you to teach me Ryou... especially if you were naked." Ryou's cheeks burned red, eyes widening at the bold statement.

"Bakura!" He exclaimed, hiding his face in his tee. Bakura chuckled amusedly, fingers running through creamy locks.

"Bakura, somehow I don't think that's what Ryou meant!" Malik said, snickering at the man's suggestion.

"I'm kidding. You have to admit though; it would be an interesting way to teach! You'd definitely have my attention!" Bakura mused, patting the teen on the head.

"Perv..." Ryou muttered, shaking his head, nuzzling into Bakura's shoulder.

"Ryou, if I were you, I'd watch Bakura more carefully! You never know what he might do when you two are alone!"

"Yeah, the word 'RAPE!' could come in handy," Malik added to Marik's statement, snickering.

"That's disgusting, you pervs! I would never touch my Ry like that!" Bakura howled, hurling a candle at Marik's head, hitting dead on. Malik snickered, and Ryou gasped.

"Bulls eye," Bakura hissed, smirking as he watched an angry Marik reaching up to touch the newly forming bruise.

"You asshole, that fucking hurts!" Marik growled seething as a laughing Bakura got to his feet, ready to dash away if Marik tried anything. Marik of course rose to his feet to; ready to chase Bakura to hell and back. He growled and hurried after Bakura, who had long since scurried away.

"I'm gonna kill you!"

"Like you could catch me!" Screams were heard as the two ran around the apartment, knocking down things as they went about. Bakura panted, running into his sister's room and slamming the door, making sure to lock the deadbolt.

"Let me in you damn wimp!"

"NEVA!"

Ryou and Malik eyed each other, rolling their eyes.

"Tch, so immature..." Malik murmured, lilac eyes lowering in annoyance. Ryou smiled, nodding.

"Tell me about it... I'm so glad you guys are coming home with us tomorrow!" Ryou gushed, grinning excitedly.

"I know! I'm just sad we couldn't stay longer. Five days isn't enough!" Malik said, pouting slightly. After all, who knew when the next time they'd get to see Bakura or Ryou would be?

"You'll probably be bored out of your mind, you know. There's not much to do there, except swim in the lake and... and really just swim in the lake..." Ryou mused, drumming nails on the carpet.

"That's ok, I'll just be glad to get away from the city for a bit. Plus, the stories you and Bakura tell Marik and me always sound like a blast! I don't understand how you could ever be bored. It sounds like you have a lot of cool friends, too!" Malik exclaimed, gazing at his newest friend happily. Ryou smiled, forgetting to mention that half the time Bakura and him really didn't know what their friends did, since for the last two weeks, they spent most of the time cuddling, and other super embarrassing stuff Ryou was not willing to talk about, like kissing. Gasp!

Ryou blushed at the thought, trying to hide it under his milky locks.

"Well, its ok I guess! But at least here, you know about all the newest games and movies. Back home, we don't get much news of stuff, since only a couple radio stations are available, and many TV stations don't come in that great. Bad connections, since no one really gives a care about our little town."

"Yeah, you know... it's a wonder Bakura's mom even found the place! At one time she was talking about moving to Rome!" Malik exclaimed, relaying down on his stomach.

AH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!? DON'T TOUCH ME THERE!" More screams from the bedroom. Ryou and Malik gazed at each other, suddenly creeped out.

"Uh, we should probably go see what they're doing... it sounds like my boyfriend is trying to rape yours..." Malik trailed, rolling his eyes as he got to his feet and offered Ryou a hand. The teen giggled and took the hand happily, hopping to his feet and heading to the bedroom.

"Don't now! Illegal! Come on, you know that's not, AH!" Bakura howled squirming on the bed he was currently tied to. Marik snickered down at his vulnerable prisoner adding mauve lipstick to unwilling lips.

"GET THAT SHIT OFF! ACK, IT TASTES HORRIBLE!" Bakura cried, trying to bite Marik's fingers. Unfortunately, Bakura bit off a big chunk on lipstick instead.

"Hah, Bakura, you idiot!" Marik mocked, chuckling down at Bakura, whose eyes looked bruised from all the blue eye shadow they were adorned in. Bakura growled and spit the lipstick in Marik's face, leaving a big pink splotch on Marik's cheek.

"That shit is disgusting! How do women wear it?" Marik winced an eye and wiped off the lipstick with his sweatshirt sleeve.

"The same way as you, only they look ten times better," Marik stated simply, turning his head to two pairs of wide eyes.

"Marik, what the hell are you guys doing? Playing beauty parlor?" Malik snapped, bewildered at how horrible Bakura looked. It kind of reminded Malik of a grandma with how bright and pink his lips were, and how he had on way to much bright red rouge.

"Marik, you're not a very good beautician..." Ryou mumbled, sending the two a pathetic look.

"Well, aren't you gonna help me Ryou? You're not gonna let him keep putting this crap on my face are you?" Bakura asked him sharply, a pleading sound in his tone. Ryou averted Bakura's gaze.

"Well, you, you didn't say please..." He said timidly, staring at the carpet. Marik burst out laughing.

"Now it's time for your eyebrows!" Bakura looked up into slightly insane lilac eyes worriedly.

"YOU ARE NOT TOUCHING MY EYEBROWS WITH THOSE PLUCKY-THINGS! RYOU HELP!" Malik giggled, grabbing his friend's hand.

"Come on, Ryou, let's leave this two be... Have fun doing each other's makeup girls!" Malik chirped, skipping out of the bedroom with Ryou. Marik smiled as the two hurried out of the bedroom, admiring his Malik for a second. He then smirked, and peered down to agitated coffee orbs.

"You ARE not plucking my eyebrows." Marik shrugged, throwing the tweezers to the other side of the room.

"Fine then, waxing will do."

"NOOOOO!"

"Do you guys think we should wake Marik and Malik up now?" Ryou whispers, tired eyes gazing to the two forms that were sprawled out on the couch, bodies entwined as they slept peacefully together under a throw blanket.

"No, its only 3 am let them sleep! We don't have to leave for a good forty minutes anyways, and they're both pretty good at getting ready fast," My sister tells us from the kitchen chair, taking a bite of her early breakfast. I glance up from the table, peering to Ryou who comes over and takes a seat next to me, sighing tiredly. Aw, my poor Ry is tired! I smile softly, wrapping an arm around his shoulders.

"Why don't you go to sleep then? You can still get about a good hour in before we have to go to the airport," I tell him, playing with a few strands of his unbearably soft hair.

"I don't want to though. I wanna stay up with you," he says, sounding absolutely exhausted as he rests his head on my shoulder.

"I don't get you Ry, I really don't," I tell him, nuzzling my nose against him, tickling from his hair brushing against it. He sighs contently, closing heavy emerald eyes. I know he will be asleep within seconds, its how he always is. Once he gets comfortable, he clonks. I gaze to Crystalline, who take a drink of orange juice, yawning as she flips through a fashion magazine.

"I don't know why you two didn't go to bed early like I told you to. You guys are going to be exhausted when you get home," she says nonchalantly, eyes never leaving the article she is currently reading.

"Eh, well, it was Marik's fault! He had me tied to a bed until 10 o clock doing my makeup, and Ryou and Malik were watching movies until one," I say, biting into the muffin I had gotten myself earlier. She sighed exhaustedly, shaking about smooth locks.

"I don't even want to know Bakura... Marik and you are very 'special' young men."

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" I snap, eyes flickering suddenly. She's not aloud to make fun of me, no one's aloud to make fun of Bakura Lucifer Ketsueki! I hear a small groan from my shoulder as an arm finds its way around me.

"Bakura, shut up and don't talk so loud, you make it hard to sleep." Ryou whined, burying his face in unruly white locks. I smiled and hugged Ryou, drawing him closer.

"Sorry Ry." I say soothingly, caressing his back as he smiles and tries to rest again. I glare at Crystalline as she snickers at us evilly.

"Bakura, you're such a pushover."

I shake Ryou lightly as the car pulls up to the airport drop off lane, trying to rouse him from his sleep.

"Ryou wake up! We're here!" I say softly, running fingers through soft hair, enjoying the feel of the healthy locks. He groans softly, digging his head deeper into my legs.

"Dude, just tell him to come on! We can't miss our flight!" A slightly grumpy Malik roars as he crawls out of the sport scar, running to the trunk to get his luggage with Marik. Obviously, someone didn't sleep too well...

"Bakura, where are we?" A small voice breathes out, tired emerald orbs looking up at me. I smile down at him, brushing delicate hairs out of his face.

"Ryou, we gotta go, we're at the airport." I say, opening the door. He nods and gets up, crawling out of the car after me.

"I'm so tired..." He trails off, stumbling to the trunk and grabbing his luggage out. I toss out my suitcase too, giving him a weary smile.

"Well, you can sleep on the plane, and when we get home." I say, walking slowly with him up to the pole a tried Crystalline now stands by, leaning against it.

"Well you two, it's been fun having you over! Come back soon, okay?" She says, walking over to Bakura and Ryou, giving each a small hug. Ryou giggles, hugging back with a free arm.

"Thanks for letting me come down; it was a lot of fun!" Ryou chirps, somehow managing to be happy throughout his weariness. She smiles and nodes, then gazes to me.

"And Bakura, I hope school goes okay for you and the same for you Ryou. Enjoy the rest of your summers, and don't forget to call me you brat! Also, watch out for Malik and Marik, don't let them do anything too disastrous, kay?" She teases, giving me a small kiss on the cheek. I snort and nod, eyes peering over to the said blondes who are leant against each other, trying their hardest to keep their lilac eyes open.

"Well, I'm gonna go home and go to bed now you guys, have fun, and a safe trip of course!" She says with a small smile, eyes averting to Marik and Malik.

"Have fun you guys!" She exclaims, waving to them.

"Uh, yeah, sure, yeah...whatever..." Malik and Marik both mumble out, waving chastely to my sister, reclosing lilac eyes. Ryou and I wave to her, and head into the revolving doors of the airport, Marik and Malik trailing behind. I gaze behind me and find Malik, pouting on the airport ground.

"I wanna go to bed!" He whines, lower lip quivering. Marik sighs and drops his luggage, hugging his boyfriend.

"Just wait till we get to the plane kitten... then you can sleep all you want!" He exclaims, trying to coax Malik to get off the gross floor. Malik can be a real pain in the ass when he wants to.

"Ugh, such a drama queen..." I murmur, rolling crimson eyes. Ryou smiles softly, resting his pretty head against my shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm just glad it's Marik who has to deal with him right now, and not us."

I was sleeping, dreaming of white ethereal clouds, and a certain snowy haired angel, when all of a sudden I heard what sounded to be... screams. And moans? Huh? Curious eyes gaze behind, finding no voices to which the screams of pleasure are coming from. I gaze around to the other side. Still, no voices.

"Ryou, do you hear-"

"Bakura, who's moaning?" A soft voice asks, a head lifting up from my shoulder. I gaze into puzzled green eyes, shrugging.

"I'm not sure... it's really loud though! Do you think it's coming from the bathroom?" I ask, noticing a few more confused heads are turned towards the direction the voices are coming from.

"HARDER!" I blink in shock. WHAT ARE THEY DOING?!? Ryou and I both stare at each other in shock.

"What's going on?" A man behind us asks a frown apparent on his slightly wrinkled face.

"God, oh, AH! No, not... OH YES! AH! I'M GONNA! AHHHHH!" Everyone in the plane by now is gasping and whispering under their breaths. Suddenly, two blondes emerge from behind a curtain, both looking extremely sweaty, grins on their shiny faces. Ryou's mouth gapes open in disbelief.

"I don't even WANT to begin to understand what you guys were doing in there..." I trail off, looking away from then disgustedly as they take the seats in front of us. They snickered and Marik turned around, smirking.

"Bakura, you're just jealous because Malik actually gives me something," He hisses, rolling lilac eyes as he turns around. I gaze to Ryou whose head is down, a guilty look playing across his face. I smile, shrugging Marik's comment off and hug him.

"Don't worry Ry; you give me lots of stuff. I don't NEED to get head daily to be happy. I'm in this relationship for you, not sex." I say honestly, nuzzling him. He nuzzles back, a sigh escaping from his graceful lips.

"Thank you Kura..." He whispers, retaking his place at my shoulder. I smile, wrapping my arm around him and try to go back to sleep. After all, there is still a good hour before we land.

Ryou gasped as he saw a tall, slim man dressed in a sheek black trench coat, stonewashed jeans, and a pair of sunglasses sitting evenly on the bridge of his pointy nose staring at the four of them as they approached the pole the young brunette was standing on, a small smirk playing across his lips as the four came near.

"SETO!?!" Ryou laughed and dropped his baggage, darting over towards the taller teen, jumping on him and hugging him. The male laughed along, hugging back.

"Hey Ryou! Ack, easy on the jacket! My step father just sent it from Paris!" He said, brushing the wrinkles out of his sleeves. Ryou smiled and looked up at the teen with happy eyes, glad to see him again.

"Seto? Where the hell is my mom?" Bakura asked, staring at him funnily.

"Bakura, you should be asking yourself, where are your manners? Who are you two?" Seto asked, setting his glasses at the top of his head, staring down at two tired lavender eyed teens.

"Oh! This is Malik and Marik, and their Bakura's friends from Domino! They're coming to visit for a week!" Ryou chirped, taking one of Bakura's hands in his.

"I'm Malik!" The more rambunctious of the two chimed, extending a hand out to him. Seto shook it, smiling down at the him.

"And I'm Marik, Bakura's best friend," Marik said, glaring up at the brunette teen. Seto nodded, frowning at the blonde. He didn't get why the male didn't greet him politely, it wasn't as if Seto posed a threat to him or anything. Seto shrugged it off, turning back to Bakura.

"Well, she saw us the day before down at the grocery store, and she asked if I could pick you two up this morning because she had to work today," Seto answered simply, taking out his cell phone to check for any missed calls.

"Oh, alright then... what did my mom say?" Ryou asked, blinking up at him.

"Go figure, she wants you home as soon as possible," Seto said sighing, beginning their journey to the car.

"My limo's out front waiting for us, so come on." Malik blinked up, letting go of Marik's hand and catching up to Seto.

"Limo? You have a limo?" Malik asked abashed that anyone his age would ever have something as luxorious as that.

"Well, Seto doesn't like to brag, but he's a fucking billionaire," Bakura said bluntly, treading beside Ryou, gazing down to the smooth, linoleum floor.

"Well, my adoptive parents own a huge gaming company that I'm going to take over after I finish college." Seto explained, sticking his hands in his coat pockets.

"That's cool then! So basically, you don't even have to worry about what you'll do when you get out of high school! You're so lucky!" Malik exclaimed, grinning. He wished he'd have had rich parents, just waiting to give him some billion-dollar company! Unfortunately, for him, his parents were dead. Yikes.

Marik glared at Seto the whole time they were going down the escalators, pouting as they heading out some glass doors to find a limo not to far off.

"How long will it be until we actually get to the dump you guys live in?" Marik asked, slightly miffed eyes setting on Bakura.

"Eh, an hour, hour and a half I guess. You and Malik could get a quickie in!" Bakura teased, smirking as Seto lifted from getting in the limo door his chauffeur was holding open.

"Not in my car they won't!" He countered, hopping in after Malik. Ryou giggled and crawled into the car, taking a seat by Malik who was admiring the car.

"This is so freaking cool! It's even nicer than the one Isis rides in sometimes!" Malik exclaimed, running fingers over the smooth leather seats.

"Yeah, it is pretty nice! Usually Seto just drives his pickup around but I guess today he decided to take out his limo!" Ryou exclaimed happily, glad to not be crammed into the passenger's seat of Seto's truck. The slam of the trunk could be heard as Seto's chauffeur had loaded all their baggage in the back. Marik was last to get in, slamming the door behind him.

"Irving, back to town and to Ryou's house," Seto instructed through the open window from the back.

"Anything you wish Master Seto!" Irving chirped, rolling up the window like Seto had ordered him to do prior to picking them up.

Malik mewled, and rested his head on Ryou's leg as he laid down, closing tired lavender eyes.

"Tired Malik?" Bakura mused, watching the two amusedly as Ryou petted his friend's head, grinning down at the blonde.

A small groan emitted from him as he nuzzled into Ryou's leg getting himself comfortable. Marik sighed, watching the two idly.

"So, what did you guys do down in Domino?" Seto asked, interest peeking in his tone. Bakura grinned, peering to Ryou.

"I'm sure he'd love to tell all."
