Angels and demons
Chapter 5- The return to innocence
Bakura look at the cage made of light in front of him… a pale angel form trapped inside it… tears was sliding down his cheeks… and a pair of white wings was wrapped around him… together with his shivering hands…
"Don't cry…" Bakura whisper, and move his hand forth…it passes the cage with ease…and he gently brush the tears away… "I'll take you away from this prison now…little angel…"
He reach both his hands forward, and draw the angel gently out…wrapping his arms around him… he had his little hikari back… he really had… he look at the sleeping Ryou… his tears continued falling… he was still trapped… he had to get him out of there…
"You are free now angel… we just have to get you out of this darkness…" Bakura whisper, and brush his hair gently… as he clutched to him in his sleep… "I missed you so much… never leave me again Ryou… if you have to kill me… just do it... I don't care…."
"Marik! Snap out of it!" Malik yell, and watch as his lover use some kind of magic on Seto… making the brown haired man fall to the ground... "Marik! Stop it now! He was just doing his job! You don't have to kill him!"
"We're not killing him… we're simply torturing him." Marik laugh, and hold the rod up… licking at the bloody edge… "We are of the dark… like you are of the light… we are many… and will become more…yet…we love the light… and the light love us…but we are not allowed to stay together… it has happened so many times…but… this time we have had enough…"
"What the hell do you mean?" Yami yell, and try to get up… but a yellow light held him down, as with Yugi… only Malik was free… but… he couldn't do anything…
"You… are one of us… your name is darkness… so is your soul… and you desire the light… you have your light… and gets to keep it… since your dark side never has surfaced… so is it with this vessel… and he gets to stay with his light…" He explain, and look at Malik... "But... one who have done to much to his light… and destroyed it… is then never to see it again… and will then become the ultimate darkness… and his light the greatest light… but… what if these two is born to fit this? Born to hate each other…? But… then again they love each other… that was never to happen… and the gods tried to make it up again… but then made a sorrow to great… and a hate to strong…"
"You mean Bakura and Ryou?" Malik ask, and look at the door… "Is Ryou the angel caught in there?"
"Yes…and he has been that ever since he died… since he unlike Bakura couldn't break free…" Marik answer, and hold the edge of the rod against his chest… pressing it forth…
"No… Marik!" Malik scream, and run to him… as he fell to the ground… but… there was no trace of the rod… or any wound… "Are you ok love? Marik?"
"What did I drink?" Marik laugh, and sit up… looking around… as Yami and Yugi was set free… "Hey… what have happened? You guys don't seem so happy…"
"Well… you kind of attacked us…" Seto complain… and sit up… "Damn homicidal Egyptian…"
"Did I attack you?" Marik ask, and look sheepishly up at Malik, who shake his head… "Good then everything is ok…"
"Oh no…the seal is destroyed…" Seto whisper, and look at the shattering door… "How did this happen?"
Everyone look at the great light which is emitted from a hole, which takes form in front of them, and Bakura comes out… holding a almost lifeless Ryou in his arms… Bakura was seeming only a dark presence inn the closeness of Ryou… who's wings was gently folded under Bakura's arms…
"I will be leaving now…" Bakura whisper, as Yugi and Malik fell to the floor because of the sorrow… "If you wish to see me… you know where I am…"
And he walk of… disappearing in a flash of wings…
Bakura smile to himself… brushing the hair of Ryou laying in front of him… he was just laying there…waiting for him to wake up… he couldn't keep his eyes of him… Ryou had gone over to sleeping peacefully after two days… and Bakura was expecting him to wake up soon…
"My little cute hikari…" Bakura whisper, and kiss him gently one the forehead… "Come back to me…"
"Niisan…" Ryou whisper, gradually opening his eyes… was it just another dream? He had dreamt so many things over the many decades he had been locked away… the most painful… was to wake up with his brother… then find out it was only a dream… he couldn't take that anymore… he couldn't…"I don't want to dream this anymore… I can't."
"Relax little angel..." Bakura whisper, and smile gently to him… brushing the new tears carefully away… "No more bad dreams… just reality… I said I would take care of you… it just took me some time to find you…now you are free again…"
"Bakura?" Ryou sob, not believing what was happening…"Are this true? Are you really real? Not just another dream?"
"I'm as real as you…" Bakura whisper, and draw Ryou gently into his own embrace… "Don't ever leave me again Ryou… please…"
"Bakura…" Ryou sob… clutching to his brothers sweater… "I'm so sorry… I wanted you to be happy… I'm so sorry…"
"Ryou… you were the one making me happy… I just couldn't live without you…" Bakura whisper, and smile to him… "What made you think I would ever find someone else? I just wanted you… the first person I really loved…"
"When did you die?" Ryou ask, and look up at his smiling brother…"Was it of age?"
"No…I… used the knife myself… I couldn't go on without you Ryou…" Bakura whisper, and kiss Ryou gently on the forehead…
"You…killed yourself?" Ryou sob… "But… I wanted you to be happy… I didn't want you to die… I didn't want that…"
"Don't worry chibi angel…I'm happy now… and I will be it for all of eternity…" Bakura reassure… "And so will you… I won't allow you to feel any sorrow again… you will stay with me… and be the happiest person in this world…"
"Really?" Ryou whisper and Bakura nod to him… "How many years have passed?"
"About… around 70 years I think…" Bakura answer, and look into the gentle brown eyes of his lover… "Everyone is here… Yugi, Yami, Malik and Marik…and I'm a popular guy… or… well… everyone here know me… in some way…"
"You won't go out partying will you?" Ryou ask, and close his eyes… "I'm starting to think you are all to old to want that…"
"Yeah… and I live almost the whole world apart from them…" Bakura laugh, and sit up. "Do you want some food Ryou? I can make some to you…"
Ryou nod, but when Bakura walk into the next room… he follow…clutching to his arm…
"I don't want to be alone… can I follow you?" Ryou whisper… and Bakura nod, brushing his cheeks gently…before leaning slowly against him…putting his lips gently on Ryou's…he had no words which could describe how much he loved Ryou… no words in the world was enough to do that… Ryou was… his light… the one who had always given him happiness in life…and he would always be…
Bakura let go of Ryou's lips after the gentle kiss, and smile to the happy looking Ryou… who lay his head towards his chest… Ryou was so happy now… and the years of pain felt so far away… he had his koi… and he hadn't needed to kill him for himself…
"Ryou…I know I was a real jerk to you for some time… but… I will never do that anymore… I promise on my soul…that I will always love you…as a brother… and as a lover…"
"Thank you Bakura…I… missed you so much…" Ryou whisper, and look up at him…giving a faint smile trough the happy tears…"Love you so much niisan… so much…"
Ryou look around in his brothers tomb… it was different from his…darker… to think that his poor brother had to stay there for so many years… now he was there to take care of him… one of the guards had told him that his big brother hadn't been eating right… so Ryou had already made some good food, until he came back from talking to one of the guards…
"Excuse me… but you have to be Ryou..."
Ryou turn around, and look at Mahado, who was bowing to him…
"Yes… who are you?" Ryou ask, and feel himself starting to shiver…he was always so afraid when he meet people he didn't know… "Are you a friend of Bakura?"
"I'm his most trusted servant…" Mahado answer, and smile to Ryou. "He have really put everything into finding you again… you see… without you… he would wither away… so you do wisely in never leaving him…"
"I won't leave him." Ryou say, and smile back to Mahado… he was a nice person…but… did his brother almost loose his soul without him? "Um… why are so many people working with my big brother? He wouldn't tell me…"
"If he wouldn't tell you… it doesn't seem like it is in my place to do so either…" Mahado answer and sigh… the young youth was really hard to say no to… "He will surely tell you sometime…you can't be expected to live here without finding it out eventually…"
"Ok…thank you…um…?" Ryou whisper, and look around…
"Mahado at your service, young master." Mahado answer, and bow again… "I will be tending to you and your brothers mental health if needed…"
"Oh… so you are a magician?" Ryou ask, and Mahado nod… "Cool…so you where tending to my Bakura while I was gone?"
"Yes…he has been a kind master." Mahado answer.
"Hey! Mahado!"
Ryou light up, as he heard his brother's voice, and before Mahado could understand who was yelling for him… Ryou had almost jumped Bakura to the floor… hugging him as hard as he could.
"Missed you Bakura!" Ryou cheer, and clutch to him… "You are the best brother in the world!"
"Missed you to Ryou…" Bakura laugh, and brush his hair gently… "Have you made food? Something smells good…"
"I made food to you." Ryou giggle, and hide hid face against Bakura's chest… "I heard you haven't been eating… so you have to eat…"
"Bakura-sama… you called for me..." Mahado whisper, and bow… he thought that was wiser than let his master see the big smile he had… to see the two brothers was really touching…
"Yes…I just talked to two of the patrolling guards…they found a weird shrine… one of magic…" Bakura answer, and smile, as he saw the happy expression on Mahado's face. "Go now… I owe you this…"
"Thank you… Bakura-sama..." Mahado thank… before walking off…to the two guards Bakura had been talking to…and they leave the tomb…
"What was it with the magic shrine?" Ryou ask, and look at the laughing Bakura… "Is he to looking for someone?"
"Yes… his fiancée… Mana… she was sealed up in a magic shrine… to maintain a kind of barrier for the gods… I promised to help Mahado find her… if he helped me find you." Bakura explain, and give his brother a kiss on the cheeks… "Heh, little and cute, just as I remember you… it is a good thing you haven't changed…"
"I won't ever change." Ryou giggle, and draw his big brother to the part that was his private chamber, each tomb had a deep chamber, that was like the person had lived in his life, but since Bakura hadn't bothered cleaning, Ryou had used the whole day cleaning up, so now they had something that looked like a bedroom, a kitchen and a living room… "Go and wait in the living room, and I will come in with the food."
"Hai Ryou-sama." Bakura laugh, and sit down in the part that now actually resembled a living room… "You have really worked your ass of today Ryou… I'm impressed…"
"I didn't want it to look like a tomb… even thou it is one… you can't be living like this Bakura, then you will only become sick and depressed…" Ryou explain, and walk in with a plate with pizza, he knew that Bakura loved the home made he used to make… "Here, please enjoy… I worked whole day to get all the things I needed… thank god some of the women here knew where the food was…"
"I haven't been eaten much have I? I didn't see any need with it… since I wasn't hungry at all… I was just thinking about you all the time…" Bakura explain, and draw Ryou to his own lap as Ryou was about to sit down on a chair beside him… "You can have a seat here."
"Thank you." Ryou giggle, and take up a pizza slice, holding it up to Bakura. "Open your mouth, and there you go…"
Bakura smile, eating the pizza Ryou held up to him… it was perfect, just like he remembered it… now everything were like before… just… that he was the king of thieves… but how to tell Ryou that? His sweet innocent Ryou…
"Ryou? Do you think we should find the TV or something here?"
