Ta for the review Shaami, sorry for making you so disturbed ^_^ Anyway, on with the fic.
~-~
I don't think I've ever felt contentment before, at least, not like this and all because of the person lying securely in my arms. We could be doing others things of course, but I thought it would be better to wait, which I think Yami was happy about. Waiting means that it's love and not lust, so I definitely think it's the best option. I can empathise with my hikari better now too, because I know it would completely devastate me to lose Yami, even though we haven't been together very long.
Yami gets up, his lips once again meeting mine, before I can ask him if something is wrong. Our tongues soon start to dance and I feel complete exultation, this was well worth all the confused waiting. I wrap my arms around him casually as we break apart, kissing him softly on the forehead before he starts nuzzling my neck.
"I'm glad Malik was right, because this is perfect."
Yami states softly and I couldn't agree more, I really will have to thank Malik for setting this up. Not only did he help get me together with my crush, but he also saved me from embarrassment. Good thing my dear hikari is so bright, or things may not have worked out so well.
That's strange; I can feel fear coming from Malik, that isn't like my hikari. It's probably just a nightmare, so I shouldn't bother him. I lie still with Yami for a few more minutes, until I feel Malik's fear rise dramatically, now I know it's no nightmare, it's serious. I get up quickly, not worrying about Yami for the moment and grab my shirt, very glad that it was the only article of clothing removed.
"What's wrong Marik?" Yami asks concerned.
"Malik, he's absolutely terrified, I need to help him."
My reply is half muffled by the material of my top as I hastily put it on.
"Take this then, I'll follow once I'm decent."
I look over at Yami and feel my mouth drop open. In his hand is the Sennen Rod, freely being offered to me. Yami must really trust me if he's willing to give it back. I manage to knock myself out of my goldfish impression and grab the Rod, nodding my thanks to Yami as I do. Right now, helping my hikari is all that matters.
I practically run to Malik's room, which isn't easy considering how much the hallway twists round. I don't understand what could have made him so afraid though; Malik doesn't scare easily. I'll help him no matter what though, I owe him that much and I care too much about him to let him come to harm anyway.
Finally reaching hikari's room, I glance carefully through the partially open door. What I see is not something I expected and I certainly don't like it. My supposed best friend is the cause of Malik's fear and I have every intention of making the thief pay dearly for it.
~
The only thing I've managed to do is squeeze my eyes shut, so at least I don't have to see everything as well as feel it. Speaking of feeling, I felt a lot of anxiety, which I think was from Marik. Hopefully that means we're still linked and that he knows I'm in trouble. I would never have believed something like this could happen to me; and not all that long ago, I wouldn't have been counting on my yami for help. Strange how things change so drastically and how easily all your beliefs can be shattered.
Thinking about stupid things was helping, until that vile thief made his presence quit impossible to hide from. I guess he didn't like the fact that I wasn't cringing and squirming. I really miss the Sennen Rod, because this wouldn't be happening if I still had it, the idiot would be on his way to hospital by now if I did. I really regret having to give it to Pharaoh.
Ooh, I think I heard someone outside my room, I don't think Bakura noticed though. I wouldn't have if I weren't deliberately listening out for signs of possible help. I really hope it's Marik, but I can't check, or I'll alert the baka na dorobo. Marik, onegai, get me out of this.
"What the hell do you think you're doing Bakura?!"
Marik sounds absolutely furious, but Bakura doesn't seem even remotely phased. I know I would be if Marik had barged in like that on me.
"Playing with your hikari, isn't that obvious?"
"Get out of our house now!"
Just when I think I'm safe, he just smirks and leans over me, running his tongue slowly along my throat. I shudder, my nausea rising and try to escape, but once again fail miserably. Marik is about ready to blow at this point and if I didn't want to maim the thief myself, I'd feel sorry for him.
"I mean it Bakura, this is your last chance."
Marik's voice has become very low and sounds calm, but this is when you really have to be afraid. Marik only gets this way when he's far beyond angry and that normally means very bad things for whoever or whatever has annoyed him.
"You're beyond powerless Marik, so why should I care what you say?" Bakura states spitefully.
"Are you sure about that thief?"
At first I don't know whom the voice belonged to, but then I realise that it's Yami. What does he mean though? Bakura is right, without the Sennen Rod, we are powerless against those who have the items. Could he have..? No, Yami wouldn't have, would he? I mean, things may have changed, demo, he wouldn't risk something like that, surely?
Bakura looks as dubious as I feel, but for the now, his attention isn't on me, so I'm not complaining too much. I desperately want to be out of this situation, but, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm afraid, I don't want him to do anything else, so I'm making myself remain quiet and still.
Shimatta, seems he got bored of them, I really don't know how much longer I can cope, but I can't let myself fall apart in front of him, I won't do it. I won't break. Why isn't Marik doing anything? You're supposed to be helping my yami, so why are you just stood there? Calm down Malik, you were head of Gurus, so you don't need anyone. Sennen Ring or not, Bakura isn't anything to be afraid of, just remember what you learnt and deal with him.
"Your dear hikari is mine Marik. I never did get what I was owed, so I choose him as my payment." Bakura states, softly, but with a spiteful edge.
"Wrong thief, you never kept your end of the bargain, so I don't owe you anything."
I deliberately make my tone harsh, before I graceful knock him off me and return to my windowsill. I'm glad Kali showed me that particular manoeuvre; I would have had a difficult time escaping otherwise. When she first started insisting on showing me self-defence, I brushed it aside as unimportant, but as always, she knew best.
I can't believe it took me so long to take control of things though, have I really allowed myself to become so weak and dependant on others? It's disgusting that I could have become so pathetic, disgusting that I could have lost myself so much.
"Malik?"
"I'm fine Marik." I snap, though I don't mean to, Marik hasn't done anything to warrant it.
"Hm, got your fire back? Good, I like a challenge."
"Challenge? Please, you're not worth my effort thief."
"Malik?"
"What is it Marik?"
"Why are you acting so strange?"
"Because I'm through acting weak! Do you have any idea what it could have cost me? No, that doesn't matter. All of you idiots can remove yourselves already, I'm through playing."
"Be careful Malik, you don't want to stray don that path again."
"How would you know what I want Pharaoh? I'm not in the mood for this, so kindly leave."
"That include me Malik?"
"Yes Bakura, it does, because I've no interest in your presence, it simply annoys me."
"Really? Then why put up with it?"
"Because as much as I may dislike you, up until now at least, you were Marik's best friend. After that little stunt however, I don't feel like dealing with you any longer."
Surprisingly, Bakura actually leaves after that, so now it's just Marik and Yami to go, before I can collapse on the bed and starting crying or something. Ishizu says it helps and I think it did when I was younger. Right now I just need a release and so long as I'm alone, I don't care. Marik looks worried, but I think now that Bakura's left, I've dropped the act somewhat, so I think he understands that I just need time to deal with what happened. He nods slightly, albeit looking beyond worried.
Marik leaves Yami's side and walks over to me, close, but not imposing like Bakura was. He leans over to talk to me quietly.
"Yami gave me this, but I think you need it with you, jut in case."
He hands me something and to my surprise, I realise it's the Sennen Rod. Yami did give it to him after all. I manage a weak smile and allow him to pull me into a hug, this hit him just as hard as it did me and I need to let him know I'm not angry with him.
"Thanks Marik and I'm sorry if I upset you. I need to be alone now, okay?"
I whisper quietly, not really trusting myself enough to talk normally. He nods and leaves, though not before looking over with concern once more before pulling my bedroom door shut. I quickly lock it behind him and pull the curtains to, right now; I need to be perfectly alone. There is far too much for me to think about to worry about others. My pain never seems to end.
I miss you Kaldea, I wish I still had you; I seem to have lost so much since you left my life. Neteru en Kemet, please let me have her back? My thoughts end there as I drift to sleep, her smiling face is the last thing I see.

Not how I expected the chapter to go, or the fic for that matter, but never mind. I suppose it makes things more interesting. Hope you enjoyed. Ja.
