Bakura POV
I stare out the window at the falling snow as the two immortals verbally fight each other. I basically grew up with them, so I thought I knew them well. Malik was just a boy when I first met him. He was barely younger then I was. I guess gods can change their appearance. I notice now that Isis has never changed. I wonder why?
I sigh softly to myself as it grew quiet behind me. I didn't dare look. I would probably end up yelling as well. I wonder how my angel is doing? I resist the urge to look.
"Malik, you do have two choices. Do you wish to know them?" I hear Isis say quietly and the fire crackles in the silence.
I finally turn around and lean my back against the wall. I look at Malik wondering if he will answer. I want to know the other choice as well! What if it is a chance to live? I glance over at Ryou and see that he is staring intently at the fire. I frown at the silent boy. He usually says what is on his mind no matter his audience.
As the silence lingers on, I walk slowly over to the silver haired prince curled up on the couch. I see Marik notice me, but Isis and Malik are in their own world. I reach the couch and sit next to the boy. He is startled at my presence but he recovers and smiles over at me. I reply with a grin and I pull him over to me. He lays his head on my chest and I rest my chin on his head looking back over at the other immortals.
"Malik? Do you want to know?" Isis asks again.
Malik looks up at his sister and he nods slowly at her question.
"Your first choice was to sacrifice yourself to correct your mistake." Isis says and Malik nods again. "Your second choice is to give up your godhood. You will be come mortal. This will also not end the war. Your mistake is too high."
"What of Marik? If I choose the second one, will he become mortal as well?" Malik asks quietly.
I notice Isis lower her eyes. "Yes he will become mortal as well, for he is bound to you always. But there is a price to it."
"What price?" Marik asks.
"You will die sooner then Malik will. Since you started out mortal." Isis replied sadly.
Malik looks over at his lover. I don't know what passes between them, but it had to be something. I frown wondering what they are thinking. What choice will they choose??
"Brother, you do not have to choose at this moment. But the time will come when you have to choose. Please choose wisely and know that I will love you no matter what you choose." Isis says with a tear falling down her cheek.
I hear Ryou sniff and I look down at him. He was crying. Why? It wasn't his fate they were talking about.
"Angel?" I ask quietly to the boy in my arms. He shakes his head and doesn't look up. I frown slightly. He never refused to look at me before. What is wrong with him? I put my hand to his chin and try to make him look up at me, but he stops me with his own hands.
"What's wrong, Ryou?"
He was quiet for a few moments. "I'm afraid, Bakura. I don't know if I can do this anymore. At first I thought it was like a game, but now people are dieing and my friends have to make choices to die. I can't take it anymore." I am shocked at hearing this. Ryou is supposed to be strong right? He is a prince of the kingdom, but right now he is being very weak. It just makes me want to protect him more. Protect him from all the pain he is going to encounter.
"I understand, love. But we have to do this. If we don't then a lot more people will die and it will be our fault." I say trying to reason with him. He shakes his head and his hands start to shake. I pull him into my lap and fully into my embrace. He seems so small and fragile. "I will always be there for you, Ryou. You will never be alone." I whisper into his ear hoping he will calm down.
I have completely ignored the others in the room as I concentrated on my lover. I didn't even notice that they were now watching us wondering what was happening. Not that I cared that they were watching us. I was worried about the delicate angel in my arms.
"Bakura?" I hear Malik call out to me worriedly. I look up at all three of them staring.
"What?" I growl annoyed.
"Is everything alright?" he gestured to the boy in my arms.
"Does it look like everything is alright?!" I nearly yell at the god who flinches at the tone in my voice.
"You didn't have to yell, thief." Marik growls at me and I glare at him.
"Sorry." I mutter an apology.
"What's wrong with him?" Isis asks walking over and sits next to me. I glare at her as she tries to move Ryou from me.
"He's scared, okay?" I feel my angel tighten his grip around me and I glare at the others. "I think we wish to be alone right now." I stand up from the couch with Ryou in my arms. I head to the stairs when Malik calls out to me.
"You can borrow one of the rooms to the right of the hall. They aren't being used."
"Thanks." I say silently, not really caring if he heard me or not.
I take the last room and shut the door with my foot. I lay Ryou down on the bed and he immediately moves to the far side of it with his back to me. I frown and wonder if he wants to be alone.
"Do you want me to leave?" I ask quietly to the boy.
He rolls over onto his back and looks at me. I sigh in relief when he shakes his head no. I plop myself down on the bed next to him and close my eyes. I didn't notice I was tired. I feel movement to my right and I open my eyes to see what the angel was doing. He had curled up shaking. I sigh.
"Are you cold?" I ask him and he nods. "Come here." I pull him close to me and pull the blanket around us. "Warm?"
"Yes." he told me.
"Good. Now tell me what is bother you." I really wanted to know why Ryou was acting like this. Sure he was afraid, but I was here with him right? He shouldn't be afraid as long as I am with him.
"I don't want you to leave me." he answers quietly.
I stare at him. Why did he think I would leave him? Did he not know how much I need him now? Did he not know how much I love him?
"Why do you think I would leave?"
"What if our fate is the same as Malik's? I couldn't bare to lose you!" tears fill his emerald eyes. Ah. So that is what this is about. "I thought I lost you once. I don't want to go through that again, Kura." He says between his sobs. I pet his hair and kissed his head.
"You will never lose me, Ryou. I am yours forever." I wipe away his tears and I smile at him.
"Promise?"
"Yes." I kiss my angel to seal my promise to him.
Ryou laid his head down upon my chest and closed his eyes. He put his arm around me so I couldn't leave. I smile down at him. I stroked his hair until he fell asleep. I watched him sleep and I thought about the time before I met him.
I was reckless and didn't have a care in the world. I had my little band of thieves and I was their king. I had taken over when I killed the former leader, or actually after I ran away for a couple of years and met Malik and Isis. Then I came back to take charge. No one complained. They were unorganized and running free. I made laws and they obeyed.
We didn't follow the laws of the kingdom. We had our own 'kingdom' in the village I had for them. Everyone who lived their either were part of my group or they didn't want to follow the king. I had defended the village with the rest of the thieves. I became their king when Malik voted for it. I was surprised but accepted. I was a born leader. Maybe that is what the former thief leader thought? I had no clue. He was dead and never coming back to life.
I brushed the hair out of Ryou's face and lightly petted his cheek. Here lies the one who saved me. Possibly saved my soul. The rest of the band of thieves wanted to attack other village's small enough not to be noticed and we were on our way back from our looting run when the silver haired prince showed up. I knew Kimin wanted to kill him. But when I saw him, I knew right then that he should come with me.
I thought I would be 'the king of thieves' the rest of my life. Little did I know that fate had other plans? I knew right away he was half elven, for he had silver hair. His startling emerald eyes captivated me. Never before had I felt something for someone I just met. I felt like I knew him. It felt right to be with him. I never thought it was wrong, even being the same sex as I was. Our fate was predestined. Our lives are intertwined. I just knew he was going to be mine.
I smile at that thought. He certainly became mine. I continue to stare at the angelic prince sleeping when I hear a knock at the door. I look up as Malik peeks into the room.
"Is everything okay?" he asks nervously.
"Yeah, it's nothing for you to worry about." I look back down at the boy. "It doesn't concern you. You have your own problems to work out, eh?"
"I suppose I do…" Malik trails off. "Well, good night." He says and shuts the door without letting me reply.
"Good night." I answer to myself anyway.
