Angels and demons

Chapter 4- the tomb of the sorrowful

Malik yawn, and open his eyes gradually… he must have fallen asleep…he look down on Marik, who was sleeping happy… mumbling about betrayal and backstabbing… but… where was Bakura? He wasn't in the bed…

"Honey! Wake up!" Malik yell, and shake Marik awake… "Where is Bakura? He isn't here!"

"I… think he went to the kitchen… felt hungry he said…" Marik yawn, and sit up… "He said he hadn't eaten anything after he died… don't know how he could have done that…"

"It's because I'm such a long lived asshole." Bakura laugh, and jump down in the bed, starting to read a book he had found in Seto and Trusdale's secret library… "This tomb they are protecting… do you know anything about it?"

"Nah… just that most people get mushy around it… that is why they mostly hold house…" Marik answer, and yawn… "What is that book?"

"The tomb keeper diary… interesting reading…" Bakura laugh to himself… "It seems no one knows anything about the tomb… just that it is much sorrow… and that it follows a special pattern…each time each 17th year.. it become uncontrollable… and they have to rebuild the shield…"

"Yeah… they are going to do that today." Marik point out… "We are invited to come along."

"Ah… that will be cool." Bakura say, and hide a little grin… his plan was working perfect… he knew that if Marik and Malik… and maybe Yugi… got to know about Ryou, they would help him set him free… but… they weren't the tomb keepers… so they couldn't be to any help… he had to do this himself…"When are we leaving?"

"Soon probably." Marik yawn, and scratch his tummy… "I'm just gonna get some food first… I'm hungry…are you Malik love?"

"Yes…can you make me a sandwich? Please?" Malik plead, and smile innocently. He knew that Marik couldn't say no… and then Malik is left alone with the studying Bakura... "Why did you really kill yourself? You…never seemed to care much for Ryou…"

"I cared much for Ryou… so much…" Bakura whisper, and close his eyes…"He was always so humble…caring for me… even thou I never thanked him for it… I didn't understand why he let our father beat him to death, only to protect me… until he told me himself…I should have known…but… it isn't so easy to accept that your little brother is in love with you…"

"Ryou was in love with you?" Malik ask confused… "But…he never said anything…how could he… be in love with his own brother?"

"Because he was so innocent…" Bakura laugh, and smile… "Little cute Ryou… I'm just happy he knew… that I loved him to…I got a second chance… but he loved me to much to let us have it…"

"So… you loved Ryou to?" Malik ask shocked…he had actually thought Bakura was straight... that was the most shocking thing… he could understand that Bakura would love Ryou… he had been one of the cutest boys Malik had known…

"Yes… I loved him… who wouldn't? He… was so damn kind… and at the same time cute and beautiful…" Bakura whisper, and smile to Malik… "I will find him again… no matter what… and we will be happy together… forever…"

"Everyone got the rules straight?" Seto ask, and look at people he had to work with… it seemed Yugi and Malik was the ones most exposed to the sorrow… and Bakura a little…. But in another way it seemed…Yami and Marik seemed most occupied with quarrelling…"If any of the rules are broken… this world might be in for some trouble…"

"Yeah, yeah… just open the door… what is the worst that can happen?" Bakura laugh, and smile challenging to the oldest tomb keeper… "A little sorrow can't hurt anyone…"

"This is a tremendous sorrow… like no other…so don't take it lightly…" Seto complain… that Bakura person had gotten to his nerves… if Marik and Yami wasn't enough… he was worse than both of them… he had a big attitude… not what one would expect from a person being trapped for over 70 years…

"Believe me… I'm not doing that…" Bakura point out, and walk after the others… as they walk into a big tomb… "So… where is this angel?"

"No one is allowed to enter the grave itself…this is the place of the seal… that is the only thing we have to deal with…" Seto order, and walk in… "Yugi and Malik… I think you two should be longer away… you seem kind of messed up…"

"Let us go out honey…" Yami whisper, and help Yugi out… Marik is about to help Malik to, but he didn't want to go out… while Joey stagger out after Yugi and Yami…

"Is it possible to break the seal?" Marik ask, and look around… this was amusing…

"Yes… there are two ways… to open it from the outside, or if the angel start a new feeling instead of sorrow…" Seto explain, and start working on a big table board…"Ok… everyone keep away now… I'll have to destroy the old seal…"

Bakura give a big grin… this was going to easy… he could get in now…and they wouldn't be able to keep them both in… since he had enough hate to break everything…

A big door open in front of them… and the sorrow bring them all to the ground… except one... Bakura walk towards the door, ignoring the confused yells from his friends, who all had come in again… he had to see him again… no matter what!

"Bakura! What the hell are you doing?" Marik yell, trying to run to get him away… but as he try… a pair of great black wings spread across the room… blocking everyone to come against him… "What the hell?"

"No one will be standing in my way! The one who does will find himself removed from existence!" Bakura yell, and give a look at the others… red eyes shining threatening towards them…"You will all find it a bad idea to go against the ruler of thieves…"

A great light… and Bakura is gone… leaving the others confused…

"He… wasn't a human…" Seto whisper… "Why the hell did you bring a demon here?"

"But… he…" Yugi whisper, and look around… "Why are he? How…when did this happen?"

"Shit! We have to make a new seal… then none of them can get out…" Seto swear and, run towards the board again… but the way is blocked… by Malik… "Get out of my way!"

"Who is sealed up here?" Malik yell, and block the way the best he can. "Tell us? Who is the one who had to much sorrow!"

"No one know." Yami answer… "You have to move Malik….the seal is important…"

"You know Seto! You have been here from even before it was made… you have to know who the sorrowful angel is!" Malik yell… "Tell us!"

"No one needs to know… and no matter what… this demon can't get the sorrowful angel… his powers is to strong…" Seto answer, and push Malik aside… and Malik is quickly catched by Marik…

"Hey… don't hit my lover aside… he has a point… who is that angel?" Marik say, and hold around Malik… "You can't just lock Bakura away… he is our friend… so… I at least will have to stop you…"

"I would love to see that…" Seto laugh and a shield start forming in front of the door… "It isn't so bad is it? They will be locked in together… isn't it that they want!"

"So I was right?" Malik whisper, and clutch to Marik…"The gods keep them apart… with no reason… If they had been together… they would have had no sorrow!"

"What are you talking about Malik?" Marik ask, and look at his crying lover… "Who is it that Bakura loved so much that he would be together with?"

"It doesn't matter!" Seto yell… "I will lock the door now… they will be gone… and the world will be safe!"

"I can't allow that…" Marik whisper… "You aren't allowed to lock away my best friend, no matter what he is…"

"Heh… only magic can open the door… what kind of magic do you come with?" Seto laugh, and smile… "This seal will never open… it is my duty as a tomb keeper…"

"Tomb keeper? What a joke…" Marik suddenly laugh out, and a light surround him… "You are a joke… we were the tomb keepers… from so long ago… you are not chosen to the task!"

"Marik honey?" Malik whisper, and back away… as a kind of rod appeared in Marik's hands… and his whole appearance seemed to change… eyes hollow and empty… and a evil smile… "What happened? Marik?"

"We are the tomb keepers… and we all reside in this body now…" He laugh, and draw of a part of the rod, so it becomes a dagger… "And we will see to the revival of our power… so don't be afraid young one… you are safe…"

"M…Marik?" Malik continues to whisper in disbelief… what had happened to his lover?

"You are one of the chosen ones…" Seto whisper… and look at the smiling Marik… "I will destroy all evil… in whatever form it is in!"

Darkness… everywhere… sorrow… so painful… but… so close… have to… hang on… have to go closer…

Bakura close his eyes in pain… as memories flash in front of his mind… it was Ryou's memories… he could feel them like it was his own…a moment it seemed for him as he was living them… he reach out to take up a invincible knife… before walking to a room that seemed so familiar… his own room… he himself was sleeping on the bed… and he try bringing the knife down… but his whole body froze… Ryou had been to weak to do it… to kill him… even thou that meant he would have to be alone…

The next memory is the memory that Bakura also hated the most… when Ryou disappeared for him… his last worlds was that he wanted Bakura to be happy… and… that he would remember him forever… in the darkness… he knew he had to go back to this… but it was ok… as long as his brother was happy!

"Why did you always have to think of everyone else but yourself!" Bakura yell out into the darkness… only silence greeting him back… "I… would have followed you… I followed you… but… I never saw you… you were gone before I could find you… I … miss you so much little brother…I…want to see you again… please… show me where you are… please!"

"I couldn't kill you… I love you so much… I will always do that Bakura…please remember that… I don't want you to forget that… even when you find someone else…"

"I did remember… and I never found anyone else!" Bakura yell, not caring about the tears falling…

"I'll stay in the darkness…forever… so I will never forget you…niisan…"

"You won't stay in the darkness… I will bring you back into the light!" Bakura yell desperately… "I will never leave you again Ryou! You are my light! You are the reason I died… and… I want to be with you again… and forever…forever stay with you… to have you by my side…hold you in my arms… To see you smile again! Like when you were a child! I want you to smile even as a grown up… I want you to be happy!"

Bakura fall to his knees… hiding his face towards the dark ground… he… really wanted to see Ryou again…so much…

"Ryou… please… come back to me…I love you…"

"Niisan!"
