Chapter 28
Confusion and Confrontation
The next morning, Amaya did not feel better. She wouldn't talk to anyone, but she assumed most of the gang new about Rei, and about her own bloody hands. She was thankful that most people left her alone, even Demi let her be to herself.
She was beginning to doubt if she should even stay in the gang, but after about an hour of pondering she decided she had to stay for several reasons.
'Demi came into this gang for me.' She thought, staring at the wall, her black hair spilling over her shoulders. 'I'm not just going to leave her, besides...... I have Yami." A small smile graced her lips at the thought of him, the thought of how he made her feel so good, like she could do anything.
For what seemed the millionth time since yesterday, she stared down at her hands, as if the blood still coated them.
'What have I done?' She asked herself again. 'He probably had a family who loved him at some point...... but then again, so do I.' She sighed, finally telling herself that she had to do it, she would been the one killed if she hadn't done something.
Pulling out her smokes she lit one, watching it burn as she smoked it. It was time to put the whole ordeal behind her.
'But still, if we are at war with the Daggers, I'll have to kill again.........' Looking down at her hands, new tears fell.
"URG! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!" The typical conversation in Seto's house had begun.
"Why this time?" Seto asked with a tone that plainly said 'not that I give a fuck'.
"How could you say that 'in bed' comment in front of everyone!" Demi yelled.
"So what, one of the people I said in front of is dead, you should be relieved about that."
"You heartless asshole." She spat, fury flashing in her eyes. "You really don't give a fuck about anything, do you?"
"No." He answered coldly. "I've gone past caring, it's a waste of time."
"I'm sure Mokuba would have loved to hear you say that." She whispered. Seto's hands clutched into fists.
"Don't you talk about him wench." He growled, spinning around and pinning her against him and the wall. "It's none of your business." And with that, he turned and walked out of the room and slammed the door, leaving Demi gasping for breath.
Something about him, being that close to him, his body pressed against her own, it sent electric heat through her body.
"Damn you Seto Kaiba." She whispered to herself, flashes of that one night.......that one night that she loved his touch, the ecstasy that he had sent running through her body............ "Damn you for everything."
Maiyu still felt empty the next day, the glittering sunlight doing nothing to lift her spirits. Bakura still hadn't returned to see her, and she doubted if he would for awhile.
'Ryou.....' She thought, looking out the window. 'Why did you save me....... was it because........ because you care?' She knew she had to be deceiving herself, she was merely a piece of property to him. 'That doesn't make sense........ he helped me escape...........' Closing her eyes, she let the sun shine on her face.
"I have to know." She said, with a grim note of determination. "I have to know why."
'Ryou.......why do I care about you?' She thought to herself as she ran out of the door, down the steps and into the street. 'I'm supposed to hate you, but for some reason, I can't bring myself. Even after all you've done to me, you still helped me......'
"I have to find you." She said aloud. "I have to know........."
The object of Maiyu's confusion sat in a small bar on the bad side of town, listening to the music and drinking. She was driving her nuts.
He couldn't get her out of his head...... it was stupid.
She was a bitch, a chain bitch who he should have killed instead of helping her escape. He wanted to tell himself it was because she intrigued him, but his heart knew it was more then that.
He cared for her, why in seven hells he did was beyond him.
"Damn it!" He growled, mentally shaking himself. Pushing the memories back as far as they would go. But they wouldn't go. Taking another swing of his drink, he let them come.
Flashback
She flopped back onto the bed, still as confused as ever when the door opened. She sat up, her green eyes meeting the brown depths of Ryou, which he quickly averted.
"Hi." She said, her tone for once not filled with complete loathing. He didn't say anything so she continued talking. "I just wanted to-"
"Save it." He muttered, a little harsher then intended.
"Fine then." She bit out, slightly hurt. "Next time, just leave me there."
"You and I both know you don't mean that."
"And your point is?" He turned to face her, and did a double take. For once he saw her not as a piece of ass or a bitch or even a Chain but as someone.......beautiful. He walked towards her, placing his hands on her small shoulders.
"The....point......" His words fell into nothingness as he leaned down and softly pressed his lips onto hers. The world seemed to stop in orbit as he parted her lips with his tongue, shutting his eyes in the bliss....
End of Flashback
"Oh God." He muttered. Just what the hell was going on with him? She was corrupting him, and he hated it. "Fuck this." He growled, slamming the empty bottle on the counter and walking out the door.
Maiyu ran, and ran fast. She didn't know where she was going except that it was Dagger territory. She knew it was stupid to walk right into another gang's territory like this, but she was too plagued with questions at the moment.
In her desperation she didn't watch where she was going until she hit something. Hard.
With a small 'oof' she landed on her ass. Looking up she gasped.
"R-Ryou....." She whispered as her green eyes meet with his dark brown ones.
"What the hell are you doing on this side of town, your lucky your not dead by now." She looked down at the ground, suddenly feeling like a dumbass.
"I came to look....... too look for you." She said in a barely audible voice as picked herself off the ground, staring into his eyes. "I need to know.......... I need to know why you saved from that other man, and don't tell me it's because I'm your property because if that was true, you wouldn't have helped me escape." He was silent for a moment, looking down at her.
Again it happened. He saw as any other person, not a Chain, a whore, a bitch, anything but who she was. And she did look beautiful to him with her purple hair falling over her shoulders. He looked around, making sure that no-one was spying on him.
"We can't talk here." He muttered. "Come on." And with that he took off at run, Maiyu easily keeping up with him as he turned into a dark alleyway. He stopped and took a breath.
"I don't why I helped you........... because I felt bad for you I guess, and because I knew and my younger brother, Bakura were friends. That's, and because it was sisters final wish that I protect you if I could. I saw it as an opportunity to repay a debt.
"Then it was nothing more then a debt and some pity, is that it?" She whispered, unable to meet his eyes as her own filled with tears. "Then I'm sorry for wasting your time, and my own."
"What did you think it was?" He asked, a little harsher then he meant to.
"I thought....... I thought we had some kind of connection." She said, unable to stop the words leaving her mouth. "Something we shared, I didn't know what, but apparently, it was nothing." The image of the kiss flashed in both their minds, as Maiyu turned back to face him.
"You mean, something like this." He grabbed her shoulders and pressed his lips against hers. Again the bliss enwrapped them as the moved their lips as one until lack of air demanded separation, Ryou with a little teasing smirk on his face that held no ridicule.
"Yes." She said quietly. "Something like that." Slowly she turned away and began walking until she reached the street before turning around to look at him.
"No-one can know of this, hell I don't know what the fuck I'm doing!"
"I guess that makes two of us." She said with a small smile. "It appears we've both lost our minds. Meet me here two nights from now." She turned and left without looking back.
She didn't know what was happening, and she wasn't sure she liked it, but it was happening, and it felt right.
That was all she cared about. And as she headed back home she wondered if two souls locked in hatred and a little private war could learn to accept one another.
She hoped so.
And in her blindness and hope, she didn't see the pair of eyes watching her.
A/N:
Well, there you have it. I know the romance between Ryou and Maiyu might be going a little fast to some of you and I apologize, but it has to be this way for some of the other stuff coming up. And yes, there will be some more Demi/Kaiba goodness coming up soon, I just have to get past some stuff, and then I'll start to focus and them a little more. Anyways, as always, please R&R!
A/N: Well, here I am again, and suddenly, this fic isn't getting as many reviews......... i hope you guys still like this fic. Anyway, not much to say, hope you like the chapter.
