(Ryou's POV)

Malik and I must have stood there with each other in our arms for more than 5 minutes at the least. His arms were wrapped around the top of my back, holding me closely to his body. My ear lay on his chest as the smooth sound of his heart raced on underneath. I didn't want to let go of him. He was warm and understanding all at once.

I wonder if he thought the same things. But right now, I don't care. I just want to hold him forever. Even if that means that I have become gay against my father's wishes. If it makes me happy, then he's going to have to deal with it. When did I start to become more aggressive? Was Malik my influence? No, Malik doesn't do that. It must be my darker side.

Malik finally let go of me and took a step back. He stared right into my eyes.

"Ryou, do you like me?" he questioned most innocently.

"Yes, I like you. Why? There's nothing wrong with you, is there?"

"No, I mean, do you LIKE me?"

"I-I don't know. I-"

I searched down in my mind to find the answer I was looking for. Am I really attracted to Malik? I dug deeper in my thoughts and saw a figure. A blurred white figure. I couldn't make out who it was. Was it Malik? Was it Bakura? Or was it just my imagination? The figure came closer and became slightly un-blurred. It was in fact a male. But who?

"I understand if you don't. I just have to know." Malik stare was nearly blank.

"Malik, I don't know if I do. I may need more time to think." Now he had a look of sadness smeared across his face.

"Oh, okay. But when you're ready, I'm here."

He left the kitchen and sounded like he went upstairs. He seemed upset. Maybe I should apologize to him. No, I think I'll let him rest a little first. We haven't even picked out a movie yet.

I left the kitchen and grabbed the phone from off the couch in the living room. I have the movies on speed dial for Bakura's sake of getting confused in the phone book again. I pushed the button and let it ring before the recorder picked up. There isn't any that catch my interest in here. But whatever Malik wants to see, I'll follow.

(about an hour goes passed)

I think I'll go ask Malik what movie he wants to watch. So, I walked upstairs and knocked on his door. No one answered. Maybe he's sleeping. I won't bother him then. In fact, I've never even seen Malik's room yet ever since he moved in. I'll wait until he's awake first.

I went into my room and sat on the bed. My many books lay everywhere except the bed. How did I not notice? I usually have my room clean all the time. I need to stop reading so much. Half of these books I've read at least a dozen times already. I picked on up and read the title. "The Choice" by Lynne Ewing. Do I really read all these teen love stories? I flipped through the book and-

"Ow..." paper cut. Bloody book. I threw the book at the opposite wall making a loud bam sound. The cut was sore. It was one those paper cuts that go really deep and start to bleed a little. I hate those. I think there is some band-aids in the bathroom.

So, I strode my way to the bathroom and opened the door. At the other end, Malik was trying to open the door as well. I froze at the site I saw. He had just got out of the shower and was all wet. His hair was down and sticking to his face. And of coarse he had a towel on. It was a rather small towel wrapped around his waist at that. The fresh scent of "Herbal Essence" emanated from his dripping wet hair. Bloody Hell, I felt like passing out, but I didn't. I just stood there like a complete idiot.

"Um, h-hi, Malik." I stammered at the site. {I want to see Malik wet and with a small towel on too...}

"Hi, do you need something?" he looked at me strangely, because one, I was staring at his unusually small towel and two, I just stood there in his way looking like an idiot.

"IsthereanyBand-Aidsinthere?!!" I said all at once.

"What?" now he was confused even more.

"Um, please excuse me!"

I ran downstairs to the lower bathroom that I never use and lunged at the toilet paper. I was having a nosebleed. Yup, a nosebleed that you get when you see stuff like that. It was my first ever nosebleed and it all happened because of what I saw.

(Malik's POV)

I went to my room and locked the door behind me. I wonder what was Ryou's problem. He was all panicy and nervous. Then I looked down at myself.

"Oh, that's why..."

I should go apologize to him after I get dressed. I first dried my hair because it kept sticking to my face. Where are my khakis? Oh, here under this box. Box? I don't have a box. The box was mailed to me? It had my name on it with the stamps and everything, but no return address. Who's it from? I wonder what's inside. So, I opened the box and to my surprise it was one of my Egyptian text books that I had to read everyday. Why is it here? There was also a note inside the book. It was all written in Egyptian. Only one person would send me this. Isis. And her Sennen Tauk showered her where I'm staying I bet. But, the letter wasn't that long at all.

Dear Malik,

Why did you leave Egypt? We are all severely worried about you. Here is one of your books you used to study so you would not forget your original home. Please make the right decision.

Isis

Why would I forget Egypt? I could never forget it even I tried. His doesn't make any sense. The right decision? What the hell does she mean?!!!! Gyaaaa!!!! Okay, calm down. Let's just leave this alone for a while and finish getting dressed. Which is what I did. Excusing my lack of underwear. I just find it uncomfortable unless I'm walking around in only boxers. So, here I go out the door to go apologize to Ryou. This is really going to be "easy"...

"Ryou." I called coming downstairs. "Ryou?"

"I'm Right here, Malik." I heard him answer as he walked in from the hallway that leads to what I guess is

another bathroom. Taken that he has toilet paper shoved up his nose.

"Why is there toilet paper- never mind. I'm sorry Ryou." I stopped myself from laughing at him.

"Why are you sorry, you didn't do anything wrong."

"In the bathroom upstairs."

"Oh, yeah." He blushed bright red. "It wasn't your fault."

"I should've known better. I'm sorry."

"No, I came into the bathroom while you where in there."

"Ryou, I was coming out of the bathroom. You just happened to be there then. Now don't blame yourself on my actions. It was my fault."

He continued to blush as the toilet paper blockers started to turn red near his nose. He was having a nosebleed?

"Ryou, you're having a nosebleed? Hurry up and tip your head back to stop the flow!" I ran over to him and tipped his head back for him. Since he wasn't doing it.

"I think it stopped..."

"Are you sure it stopped all the way?"

"Yeah, it's done." I let go of his head.

He went to the bathroom and I guess cleaned his nose of access blood.

"Are you going to be okay?" I asked to make sure he wasn't dizzy or anything.

"Yup, I'm fine."

"Good. Because I don't know what I'd do if you weren't."

I smiled and gave him another hug. Not like last time, but it's still worth its while. He hugged back as well. Then we let go and kind of stood there for a few minutes. Staring off into space and the random bug that crawled passed Ryou.

"EEP!!" he jumped and ran behind me.

This kid can tell off an evil sadistic Tomb Robber, but is afraid of a little cockroach that can do no worse than crawl on your food? Bakura could kill him and yet he's not scared. I really give him pointers for that.

"Kill it, Malik!!" he screamed.

"I'm not going to kill it."

"Please!!! I beg you!!!!"

"Fine." I went and got a foam cup and caught the bug and threw it out the door. "Better now?"

"Yes thank you." He smiled and yet again my stomach collapsed into a pile of mush.

(Ryou's POV)

I really hate bugs. Thank goodness Malik got rid of it. Oh, yes!

"Malik, what movie are we going to see?"

"Oh, right. I have tickets to "The Notebook" that I got earlier today when I was out. Is that okay?"

"Ooooo. "The Notebook"!!! I wanted to see that movie so badly!!! It looks so romantic!!!"

I can't believe we are going to see "The Notebook"!!!! This is great! And the best part is, I don't have to watch it with Bakura. He always ruins every movie we go to by doing something bad or annoying and gets us kicked out. So since I get to see it with Malik,it won't be I'm pretty sure HE won't try to blow up the whole theatre because they ran out of "Whoppers".

(at the movies)

"May I see your tickets, sirs?"

"Here you go." Malik handed the person our tickets and we went into the movie room for "The Notebook".

"Where do we sit, Malik?" I asked for him to pick our seats.

"How about here, in the middle?" he pointed.

"Okie."

I was over excited about this. Even though it wasn't that exciting...We sat down just as the theatre became dark. It almost looked liked Malik flinched at the approaching darkness. He couldn't be scared of the dark could he? There was no one in the theatre but us.

I was completely enjoy this night. The movie was romantic and there was NO Bakura to mess things up. And there was Malik. He didn't seem that interested in the movie. I glanced at him a few times staring off in other directions away from the screen. And sometimes at me. Does he not like movies, or is he afraid of something.

It was about half way through the movie when something happened to Malik. He doubled over in his seat and was mumbling something I couldn't understand. I think it was in Egyptian. Then he started to freak out and was holding his head in pain. I tried to help him but he smacked my hand away.

"Leave Me Alone!!!!!!" he yelled.

It didn't sound like Malik at all. His voice was deeper and dark sounding. He stood up and ran out of the theatre with great force. I left right behind him and ran into the lobby. He wasn't there. I checked the bathrooms. He wasn't there either. Where could he be? Then I heard a woman scream outside. I ran out side and there he was standing in front of a woman's lifeless body. She wasn't moving. There was no blood. Just an empty corpse. Malik was holding the Sennen Rod. How did he get a Sennen item?!

He looked at me and grinned so viciously. His eyes had no sign of anything, but evil. They were as empty as the nothings of space. What was the matter with him?! Why is he acting like this?

"Malik! What are you doing!!" I yelled at him.

"Hehehe...Just having a little fun is all..." he stared at the body on the ground. His voice still dark.

"Killing people is not for emusment!!! It's wrong!!!"

"Oh, I didn't kill her, dear Ryou. I just sent her to the Shadow Realm. Which is far more worse than death itself."

He started to laugh manically. What's wrong with him?!

"What did you do with Malik?!!!"

"What do you mean, Ryou? I am Malik." He stretched and evil grin across his face.

"No your not! The Malik I know wouldn't do this!!"

"Well, I'm the true Malik. Ever since I got rid of my weaker self, that is."

Got rid of Malik? No, this can't be. Wait, that means that this is a Yami. The same as Bakura! He should know how to help. But he would never help Malik. He'd probably kill him. What am I going to do?!!!!

He started to walk up to me. I stepped backwards, trying to avoid getting any closer to him. I walked back some more until my back hit a wall in an empty alleyway. NO, I'm trapped! He pulled out the dagger imbedded in the Sennen Rod and held it up to my throat.

"Would you like to join your weakling friend in the Shadow Realm?" He carefully slid the knife across my neck. Cutting some skin enough to make me bleed.

I gulped, which hurt do to the cut. His eyes lit up with excitement. I didn't know why until he held the dagger in front of my face. It was half way covered in my blood. As sickening as it may be, he licked the blade clean.

"Hehehehe...you taste better than you look. I'm truly going to enjoy killing you."

The insane Egyptian held his hand back with the dagger. He was going to stab me. Until a bright light shined which caused him to turn around. When the light faded, some kind of energy rings were trapping Malik. I looked up to see Bakura behind him holding up the Sennen Ring.

"Ryou, get over here!" he yelled.

"How did you find me?" I asked.

"Remember, we share the same mind vessel. I can feel your fear." he kept me behind him.

"Bakura, what's the matter with Malik?"

"I told you Ryou, he's an insane maniac that's wants to kill you."

"No, Malik wouldn't do this. I know him, this isn't the same Malik."

"Believe whatever you want to think. But this creep is going to die."

I stopped completly. Bakura was going to kill Malik. Right in front of me.

Malik suddenly burst out of the energy rings and was walking over to us. He still had that insane sadistic look smeared across his tanned face. I looked at Bakura. He looked as if he was going to shread Malik into pieces and not even care that I was present.

"Bakura, you can't kill Malik. I-I-won't let you."

I felt a strong feeling in my heart. Then it all came clear. The person that was blurred in my thoughts swiped away the fog in one powerful swing and stood in front of me. I looked up at the taller person. It was in fact Malik. I hugged him hard. It felt like he was going to leave me forever.

"Well, he needs to die, tonight!!" Bakura immediately turned around to look at me in the eyes which made me snap back into reality. "And there's nothing you can do to stop it."

"You can't kill Malik."

Since Bakura turned around to look at me, that gave Malik the oppertunity to attack him. He lunged for Bakura with speeding force, knocking both of us down. I had managed to scurry out of the way, but Malik had pinned Bakura to the hard concrete sidewalk. They wrestled back and forth aggresively.

Bakura punched Malik away from him and stood up. He pulled out an 'Ectoplasmer' card and held it in front of the insane tanned Egyptian who was still lying on the ground. Malik snickered under his breath.

"Do you really think you can defeat me with a simple card? You are more ignorant that you look!!"

"Don't be so foolish! The shadows are the ones who will the cause of your death!!" Bakura spat out at Malik.

The card was now glowing and a bright light had started to engulf Malik completely. This was it. In any moment, Malik was going to be sent to the Shadow Realm forever.

I couldn't take it any more. I ran out from behind Bakura and gaurded Malik. The light was blinding, but I still kept my ground. Malik is NOT going to the Shadow Realm. Bakura saw me and tried to stop the power of the Shadows. Unfourtunetly, the shadow power that he had unleashed was to great, even for him to control. The world became dark around me. I saw nothing but the emptiness of the shadows. Not even myself.

(Mali's POV)

My Yami had broken loose again. And now I have to stop it. But everything I've tried has failed. I don't know what to do. I don't want to hurt Ryou.

I see him in front of me. Is he protecting me? But he'll get sent tot the Shadow Realm! I can't let that happen. I don't know what will happen to me if he's gone.

I stood up and tried reaching out to him. It's too hard to move anything. My left arm moved forward towards Ryou. I felt his shoulder underneath his snowy hair. The darkness was around both of us. Everywhere. He looked at me over his shoulder.

"Malik, everything will be alright. I know it will."

I couldn't stop staring at him. He turned back around as the blast of energy finally struck us both. I heard him scream out. Just bearly though. Ryou feel to his knees and doubled over. Then it hit me. Right in the chest. The pain soared through my whole body. I screamed. It felt like the pain was traveling in my bloodstream, destroying every single molecule in my body. Then the energy disappeared, as well as the shadows. But that all I saw before the world went dark once more.

When I regained conscienceness, I tried to stand up, but toppled back over. My body feels so weak. What happened to my Yami? He's gone. But for how long? Ryou was still unconscience. I crawled over to him to see if he was alright. He was still breathing. I rolled him onto his back and laid my head on his chest. His heart was beating so peacefully. At least he was okay.

The next thing I knew, Ryou was awake. I guess I had fallen back asleep while laying there on him. His figiting woke me up. I moved my head away from him as we both sat up.

"Malik, what happened? Where's Bakura?" he asked, bearly even talking.

"I don't know...All I remember was a bright light surrounding me." must be why I see spots everywhere... "Wait, Bakura was here?"

"Yeah, he was earlier. Where could he be?" now he looked concerned.

It was daylight now, and the movie was at night. I guess we spent the night on the sidewalk. After a while, some random people walked by and looked at us strangley. I supposed we should get off our asses and do something else besides sitting here like idiots. One person came over and asked us if we needed any help. Of coarse I had to tell them off. I spat in there face as well. Hehehe... they deserved it. Asking me if I need help. Who do they think they are?

"Malik, I'm worried about Bakura." we both finally stood up.

"I'm sure he'll show up sooner or later. Like you said, 'he'll come home when he's hungry'." I brushed the dirt off myself.

"Maybe you're right, let's go home."

So we left and went home. Ryou stayed in the kitchen most of the time like always. And I basically lounged around like normal. Things soon became very quiet around the house. It kind of creeped me out. Something is usually making noise all the time, but for some odd reason, it was completely silent.

I was in my room when the silenced house started to bother me the most. It's too quiet. Something may be wrong. I went downstairs and saw nothing. Ryou wasn't in the kitchen and none of the household appliances were on. That is really unusual.

So, I went to go check on Ryou in his room. The door was slightly opened. I peeked inside to see that Ryou was sound asleep. How could he fall back asleep? We were unconscience for several hours! I tip toed over to him and sat on my knees in front of the bed. My hand found it's way to the top of his head and started to stroke his locks of white soft hair. Running my fingers down through it, finding no tangles at all.

He looks so peaceful while he's sleeping. The back of my hand slid down across his pale smooth cheeks and over his delicate lips. I couldn't stop myself. I was in a fantastic world where only Ryou and I were together.

The image I saw in front of me was beautiful. Ryou's eyes were closed and relaxed. His skin was pale, but the softness was irresistable. The lips that were plastered onto his face were almost pink in color. The mouth underneath had managed to reveale a small opening inbetween the two lips. Looking at this made all the blood and warmth of my body, surge all the way down to the front of my pants.

I bent down over him. Close enough to feel the light breath exceeding through his mouth. A thought crossed my mind as I sat there. What does he taste like? There's was only one way to find out. I leaned in even closer and layed my cold lips upon his. He was warm and soothing to the touch.

I stayed there on his lips, when the world suddenly came crashing back down into reality. Knocking everything I was thinking of, out of my head. I realized what I was doing and dash out of the room. The bathroom was the place in mind that I was heading for. I locked the door, turned on the shower, and sat on the lid of the toilet.

"What the hell did I do?" I yelled at myself inside.

I covered my eyes with my hand and leaned back on the toilet. The only thing in my mind right now was Ryou. Nothing else. Just Ryou in every one of my many perverted fantasies. I started to feel dizzy and lightheaded, my pants were tight in the front, I just kissed my crush in his sleep, the thoughts of fucking him passed on and on, the shower was runing at full blast, AND I think my Yami killed Bakura. So what else could go wrong?

The thoughts got even more seductive and disturbing until I couldn't take it anymore. My erection grew, because of them. I threw off my clothes and jumped in the shower, turing it to its coldest temperature. Yes it was freezing, but it made the woody go away. And all I could think about in the cold ass shower was that I wanted to get out. And Ryou in the cold ass shower with me. And Ryou naked in the- DAMMIT!!!!!!!!! Looks like I have a long way to go before he leaves my thoughts right now...BUT WHY DOES HE HAVE TO HAVE SUTCHA GREAT LOOKING ASS????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I can answer that question for ya, Malik. He's Ryou Bakura. Everyone knows that no matter what you do, Ryou is still gonna have a perfect dupa. But anyway, that's the end for chappie three! It was a little weird and I think it took me longer to write then the other two...I'm not quite sure what to do in the next chappie. So if you have any ideas or thoughts, feel free to put them in your reviews. And if you tell me your B-day, I may just write you a fic for a peresent. How does that sound? I won't start writing chappie 4 until you all review!!!!! so getsta readin'!!!!!!!
