Quick Question: How would you all feel if Kurama was with Ryou? And maybe Bakura and Hiei? R&R and tell me.
Kurama made his way down the darkened city street on his way to the park. The moon's dim light and lack of street lamps threw wicked shadows all around him. He listened to the still of the night, and the far away traffic of the city. The air was crisp and clean to his lungs and the chill nipped at his face and hands. He rounded a street corner and came face to face with a gang. In no mood for fighting, he fled to the roof tops and made his way down to the park. When he arrived, he noticed that Ryou had fallen asleep against a large Sakura tree. The soft pink petals were dancing around him as the breeze shook them free from the branches. They lazily floated to Ryou, getting caught in his snow white hair and sitting gently in his crossed lap. Kurama slowly approached him, and tried shaking his shoulder, as to wake him up. Ryou let out a tired sigh and rolled over into Kurama's arms. Instinctively, Ryou wrapped his arms around his waist, and sighed. "Bakura..." Ryou breathed, smiling. Kurama was blushing like mad, and Hiei came up from behind him. "Do you need some help out here Kurama?" Kurama looked at Hiei and shook his head, Ryou suddenly falling from his waist to lay lightly on the ground. "Not at all." he said, and scooped Ryou up in his arms. "Let's go back and drop Ryou off. I'm coming out for another walk." he said and started back home. Hiei obediently followed behind.
When they got home, Kurama placed Ryou on the matress in the backroom. "Come on Hiei, let's go for a walk." "Alright." Hiei said before disappearing. Kurama walked out his front door and was greeted by Hiei. They began walking slowly through town, and slipped into the forest unnoticed. They were unsure of where they were going, but it was nice just to get out and walk the wilderness. "So Kurama, what's the good thing I'll be getting from you?" Hiei asked after they sat against a tree. "Whatever you want Hiei. Just be nice about it." he said with a smirk.
:Bakura and the gang:
Bakura sat with his arms crossed in Yugi's living room. 'Why is it Ryou ran away!? This makes no sense. That damn Suichi lying to me about my Ryou.' "Pharaoh, did you sense Ryou? Or am I more paranoid than I thought?" asked Bakura sharply. Yami nodded. "I did. But then it moved away at a rather fast pace. I guess he knew you were there and didn't want to see you." Yami replied with strong emphasis. "Yami, don't make him feel worse!" Tea said, putting an arm around Bakura. Bakura slowly turned his head, glaring at Tea with the most evil eyes imaginable. Tea slowly moved away, fear evident in her sapphire eyes. He smirked. Yami glared at Bakura and he shrugged it off. "I'm going home. You all can have a make-out party or something..." Bakura said and left. "Man, Bakura seems really down about this whole Ryou situation. I wonder if he'll be alright." Serenity said. "Knowing Bakura.... probably not. I mean, Ryou seemed to be important to him. I don't know what the home life was like, but whatever happened, Ryou must have had a good explanation to leave." Yugi stated. "Do you think it's possible that Ryou likes Suichi and he fled to him?" Mai asked. Yami shrugged. "Well maybe he didn't even seek Suichi out. Perhaps when Ryou went out, Suichi found him and asked him to live with him?" Duke questioned. "Dat could'a happened too. I jus' dunno about dis whole situation." Joey said after coming from the kitchen. "We have to talk to Ryou." Yami said.
:Ryou:
Ryou woke with a start. 'Where am I? Of course, Suichi's. But where is he? Maybe I should look for him.' Ryou thought and left the bed. He went downstairs only to find it empty. 'What time is it?' Ryou glanced at wall clock nearby and stared. 'IT'S THREE THIRTY IN THE MORNING!? Maybe I should just go upstairs..' He was pulled from his thoughts when Kurama came running through the front door. "Suichi, what are... Why are you all wet?" Ryou asked, pointing. Kurama looked at him and smiled nervously. "Oh, no reason. I kind of fell in the lake at the park. I had to get away from that crazed Hiei!" Ryou nodded and smiled. "Suichi, you could catch cold. Put some dry clothes on!" he said sternly. Kurama gave him a lopsided grin before removing his shirt and chucking it at Ryou. "Alright then. Hold that for me. I'll be right back." he said and disappeared down a hallway. 'Why is it Suichi doesn't have any bandages on his stomach anymore? Plus, he's healed! Not to mention well toned...' Ryou blushed. 'What? Ha! I laugh at my own stupidity! How does that hair of his stay so perky even after it's wet?' Ryou shrugged when he saw Kurama come from the hallway wearing his red silk pajamas. "Bed time for us Ryou. I mean.. for us, separately.. Thanks for holding that. Let's go. I still have time for two hours..." he was interrupted by the phone ringing. Only his fox ears heard it, so Ryou was puzzled when he went to the phone and answered it. "Hello?... Yusuke!? What are you calling me for?.. Genkai's, right now?.... I'm in my pajamas... I don't know where Hiei is right now... Is this important?... Fine, I'll be over in a couple minutes." he finished and hung the phone up. "Sorry, Ryou. I have to go over a friends house right now. I'm just glad I still have 2 days before school starts again." Kurama went upstairs and came back wearing his red silk pajama pants and his black shoes. "Get some rest." Kurama ran out the door and down the street. "Well, Suichi sure is a busy person. Yes, bed sounds very good." Ryou walked upstairs and went back to sleep.
:Bakura:
Bakura lay sprawled out on Ryou's bed wearing just his jeans. 'This bed still smells like my Hikari. My angel, Ryou.' He glanced out the window and saw Kurama running down the street. 'Why the hell is he out here? Oh well, no need. I'll kill him later on.' he thought before lifting himself to a sitting position. 'Damn I'm hungry! Eat and then sleep.. sounds good to me.' Bakura went downstairs and poured himself a bowl of cereal. 'Ryou used to love these... LOOK AT ME! I'm saddened over a little bastard hikari!? Ha! What happened to me!? That little bastard.' A voice in his head was calling to him. "You can no longer deny what you feel." it said. 'I can, and I will. I'm not having that stupid Ryou ruin my life. I could always find someone else... Hn, if only...' He dismissed all thoughts and climbed into his bed. 'Now if only I could go but one night without dreaming of my angel.'
:Bakura's Dream (His POV):
I walked into find my beautiful hikari asleep on the couch, basking in the soft blue moonlight filtering through the window on the opposite wall. I had never been so swept away before. He looked so angelic, that I wanted to snatch him up and kiss him for as along as I could. His day had been long and hard, so why not let him sleep? I could always curl up next to him. Somehow, he always left enough room behind him on the couch for me to lay next to him. As I approached him, a black figure came from the kitchen. I stopped and looked at him. His black hair was like fire! The white starburst in the centered and the blue tipped peaks. Those eyes... Who was this guy? What was he doing in my home? I tried to speak, but no words came from my mouth. He smirked and disappeared. What the hell was that? I never even saw that guy before. No matter, I still have my hikari. I slid on the couch behind him and wrapped my arms around his slim waist. He sighed and snuggled close to me. I closed my eyes and fell asleep with my light in my arms. I don't deserve my hikari... -End of Dream Sequence-
:Ryou:
Ryou was asleep on the bed, dreaming of being with his yami, and having him love him. He tried to turn over, but was unable to do so. Ryou felt as though a presence was in his room, and he felt arms around his waist. He lazily opened his eyes and looked down, and what he saw shocked him. He saw transparent arms around him. He shifted and looked behind him and saw his yami sleeping next to him. He stared, shocked. 'This isn't happening. Bakura has his own body. But it feels so real! If only this were real. But, why do I feel as though he's breathing on me? Maybe I should bask in my dream and let it play out.' Ryou thought as he snuggled closer to "Bakura" and soon fell asleep again. 'Why did I think for a moment it was Suichi?' he thought right before he slipped into his slumber.
It was morning when Ryou woke up to the smell of breakfast. He yawned and climbed from the bed, and walked downstairs. Ryou was greeted by Shiori making waffles and pancakes. He smiled to her and she smiled back. "Mrs... I mean, Shiori, where is Suichi?" Shiori shrugged. "I'm not sure. Go check up in his bedroom to see if he is there." Ryou nodded. "Alright." Ryou made his way up the stairs again and knocked on the door. He heard a soft moan, so he entered the room. Ryou was surprised to see Hiei sprawled out on the bed. "Hiei? Were you sleeping in here all by yourself?" Hiei looked at him with half closed lids and yawned. He sat up and stretched. "Of course. He went to his friends house, so I stole his bed. I haven't seen him after our playtime in the park." Hiei said and stood. He was wearing his black boxers, but Ryou didn't care. "So, you haven't seen him since?" Hiei nodded. "Yeah. Now move so I can leave to get a shower." Ryou stepped aside and Hiei passed him. He sighed and went back downstairs. "No luck?" Shiori asked. "No luck." he replied sadly. "Don't worry. He'll be back. He always is. He's a very independent person. You know something, you're one of his few friends." Ryou blinked. "You would think he'd have alot of friends." Shiori nodded and continued to cook. "Mrs. Minamino! Where the hell is that boy of yours!? I need to kill him!" Hiei yelled from upstairs. "Ryou, now that is the only boy I can never get to call me Shiori. Hiei dear, I haven't seen him since dinner. But, please kill Suichi in a pleasant manner so he'll look good for his funeral!" she yelled back. Ryou stared in disbelief. Hiei came down the stairs and sat at the table. "Well, I'll try my best." he said and started eating waffles.
Ryou started eating his pancakes, while Shiori ate hers as well. He heard the door creek and turned to see Kurama enter the house in completely different clothes. "Hello Suichi." "Hello Ryou. I'm not in the mood for eating right now mother, but I will snag an apple." he said and then headed upstairs. Ryou finished his pancakes and put his dishes in the sink. He was about to start washing them, when Shiori stopped him. "Ryou Bakura, if you touch that sponge to them dishes, I will be forced to pie you in the face." she said with a smirk. He heard Hiei snicker and nodded. Ryou headed upstairs to get changed and to grab his walkman. "Zeppelin.. yes, alright. I need to talk to Suichi." he said and headed down the hall. He knocked but didn't get an answer. He opened the door to find the room empty. "Hm, I guess I could wait." Ryou started his cd and 'Whole Lotta Love' started to play in his phones. Ryou had totally disregarded hearing the shower running when he passed the bathroom...
