Chapter 9: A Forbidden Love's End

The night rose silently into the sky as the sun sunk into the horizon. The stares came forth silently and the moon began to glow. All was still; all was peaceful, the moon shown like gold upon the land bathing everything in a mystical light. Unfortunately the peace would soon be broken, the vampires met with grim faces, except for Malik whose eyes glittered with joy knowing soon Bakura would be dead and Ryou would be his. Desires corrupt vampires as much as humans, maybe more so because they can do allot more about it. His face showed nothing but joy.

"Remember, we're only going to kill Bakura."

"We know Malik."

"A bit hostile are we Atemu-boy?"

"Let's get this over with…"

"Yes, he is most likely going to run."

"We know."

"Let's go then."

They nodded and walked to Bakura's door, for a while they were silent, thinking, wondering what fate held for them. Finally Malik placed his hand around the knob and threw the door open. Bakura looked over from waking Ryou, Ryou sitting up in bed rubbing his eye. Bakura hissed and stood straight glaring at the four vampires Ryou stood up looking around wondering what was going on.

"What is the meaning of this?" Bakura roared angrily but at heart knew exactly what was happening.

"You've broken our law, now you die Kura." Malik grinned.

Bakura looked around thinking on what to say, but before he could think of a defense Malik continued.

"I saw you together. I heard what you said to each other."

"So you spied on us."

"Only a little." Malik smirked with delight.

"You sick bastard!"

"Why thank you, Kura."

"That's why you were all so quiet yesterday…" Bakura's eyes fell upon Atemu.

"Indeed, now you die."

"Not likely."

The others surrounded him; Ryou clung to the back of Bakura's shirt scared to death of what was going to happen Bakura growled hissing at them.

"You can not escape!"

"Watch me!"

Bakura found a way out, lightning fast Bakura swept up Ryou jumped over Atemu and made his escape out the balcony.

"The chase is on."

"Damn it…"

"Let's go Set-boy stop complaining."

"Whatever."

The others followed out the open balcony chasing Bakura. The chase lasted throughout the night, over forests and rivers, well into the depths of night till the sky began to brighten. Soon none of them could keep in the air and they were forced to continue on foot. Bakura ran to a cliff, a dead end, no escape. Pegasus, Atemu, Set, and Malik surrounded him and his illegal lover.

"End of the line."

"Back off Malik!"
"No, time for you to answer to your crime."

"Crime? Love a crime? Don't make me laugh! I can't control my feelings and to deny them would be worse! I accept my fate, but I can not die knowing you would have Ryou."

"So touching, makes me sick."

"You're sick, you know nothing of love! Atemu knows what I'm talking about and so does Set even Pegasus knows how it feels to be love, but he had to deny his feelings and watch the one he loved die! I chose to risk my life for love and I'm happy about it! I'm happy because Ryou makes me happy and if happiness is a crime I glad I broke the law!"

Bakura's voice was strong and true speaking like an innocent prisoner about to die that had accepted his fate. The other vampires watched silently, Bakura's words were right and it touched them. Breaking the law for love, for happiness, that is truly honorable. Unfortunately Malik continued.

"I've had enough of your words."

Light gathered in his hand, with heavy hearts the others did the same. Bakura pushed Ryou behind him protectively and starred at Atemu with hard eyes. Atemu stared back wishing he did not have to do what he's about to. The three fired shots of light hitting Bakura stabbing into him, he fell to the ground, and Atemu fired.

"No!" Malik growled.

Bakura eyes widened as Ryou fell next to him, the young boy curling in pain his chest bleeding badly. He looked up at Atemu, Atemu watched him coolly with sad eyes. Bakura understood and pull Ryou close to him.

"Atemu!" Malik yelled growling and hissing.

"Yes?"

"You were not supposed to kill the boy!"

"My attack was let go too late."

"Why you!" Malik grabbed Atemu's collar hoisting him off the ground, Set grabbed him and pulled him off helping Atemu up from the ground.

"The sun is coming up soon, Bakura is too wounded to find shelter, we are done here."

Malik glared and walked off the others turned to Bakura.

"Good-bye Bakura-boy, we're sorry…" Pegasus walked off.

"I wish it turned out differently, sorry." Seto followed.

"A-Atemu."

"Yes…?"

"Thank you…"

Atemu nodded and walked away with tears falling down his pale cheeks. Bakura sighed laying his head down in the dust with he felt Ryou move in his embrace.

"Ryou?"

"Bakura…" Ryou looked up at him breathing raggedly. He winced in pain but smiled up at him stroking his cheek. "Together…" he gasped slightly "forever."

Bakura allowed tears to fall and nodded "Yes, together forever."

He pulled himself up to a sit and gently put Ryou in his lap stroking his hair gently holding him close.

"I'm… sorry."

"Don't' be, I love you Bakura and I'm glad I met you."

"I'm happy I met you too Ryou, and I love you, nothing not even death can change that."

"Do you think death will let us stay together?"

"I don't know… but even if it doesn't, I will find you."

"I know.. " Ryou smiled snuggling closer in his arms as blood dripped from his mouth eyes slowly closing.

"The sun is rising."

"Yes." Ryou took Bakura's hand squeezing it slightly as he began to feel his heart slow.

"It will be all right." Bakura whispered to him and kissed his head.

"I know… it's just… it's kind of scary…"

"Don't be afraid. I am here."

Ryou spoke softly smiling as tears fell from his eyes "I know."

As the golden rays of the sun began to appear as the angels of mercy looked down upon the couple in sympathy. Forsaking everything for each other, dying for each other, for love. In goodness they could not let them part like this, they deserved better than that for the sacrifices they made! They smiled upon them, the vampire and the young human, the misunderstood lovers. The sun rose and Bakura closed his eyes, with that smile Ryou and Bakura took them away from their pain took them away from the world around them to remain forever in another world, a world where they could live and love together in peace with others like them.

A chance meeting, a pet turned into a lover, a love frowned down upon by others, and death. The unkind path they took rewarded their strength and courage, their bravery with a world for them to live. Malik was killed by the other vampires the following night not caring what their fate would be. They returned to the cliff and found nothing. No dust, no body, nothing. They smiled knowing somewhere out there, Ryou and Bakura lived on in happiness. They were not punished for killing Malik, no one seemed to even notice. Soon they reasoned with the council and after years of hard negotiations, pure bloods were given the right to love those impure.

A human in love with a vampire, a vampire in love with a human. No matter how you look at it, it is…

A pure, forbidden, beautiful

Love
