Ryou POV
I was lost in my own deeply troubled thoughts. What is going to happen to Malik and Marik? I didn't want them to die! How can the gods be so cruel? He was one of their own! Even if he did cause havoc among the humans and elves, it doesn't make it right for them to want his death! Malik had feelings just like everyone else.
I dreamed that everyone had died and I was left all alone. Even after Bakura said he would never leave me. I felt empty. My heart was broken and it would never be fixed.
I wake up suddenly breathing hard as if I had been running. I sit up and look around the small room I was in. I feel movement next to me and I look over and notice Bakura was still sleeping but he had turned onto his side, his arm reaching out as if to take hold of something.
I carefully maneuver out of the bed and walk to the door, opening it. I look back at my lover once before I shut the door behind me. I quietly walk down the hall to the stairs and go down. I notice the fire is still going and I step into the kitchen looking for a glass. I find one and fill it with water. I drain the glass dry and set it on the table.
The fire crackles and I walk over to it. I sit next to the fire and let it warm me up. I glance out the window and notice it is still snowing outside. I sigh as I stare into the fire.
What should I do? I don't know how to live through this anymore. Maybe mother could help me. I wonder if mother even knows anything. Is this the destiny mother always talked about? A great war I have to be in? I never wanted to kill anyone and I never wanted anyone to die. But a whole village burned down because of me. Maybe I should have stayed in my cage. But then I would have never met the king of thieves, right? I don't know anymore.
I feel as if my heart is in two. Half of it is with my love and the other half is with the kingdom. I am after all a prince, even if my father doesn't acknowledge me anymore.
I shiver as I feel a cold breeze blow across me. I frown. Where did that come from? I look around the room and notice the door was cracked open. Eh? Why was the door opened?
Standing up, I walk over to the door and peer out. I notice footprints in the snow leading down the road. I hesitate a moment, and look back up the stairs. 'Bakura would kill me if he knew I went out without telling him. Well, not kill, but be very anger at me.' I wanted to know who was out there though. So I grab my coat and put it on. I shut the door behind me and follow the footprints.
The snow storm was fierce almost blowing me over, but I fight it and keep going. It was amazing the footprints were not disappearing. I wonder about that.
I followed them to a small barn. I open the barn door and walk in. it slams behind me from the wind and I jump. My heart is racing. I had no idea what was waiting for me in the darkness.
"Hello?" I call out nervously. I hear some hay rustle to the right of me. "Is anyone there?" I ask a little louder. I walk forward a bit, feeling brave, although my head is screaming to run back to the house where it was safe.
I hear a noise behind me and I pause. Was it my imagination? A hand covers my mouth and I try to yell out, but it is muffled. Another hand has something sharp against my neck. I knew I should have stayed with Bakura! I silently damn my self. I wasn't strong enough to break my capture's hold.
"Be still weakling." Growled a voice in my ear. I stop struggling, but my heart is still racing. 'Bakura!' I scream in my head hoping somehow he would hear me.
"It's no use calling for help. No one will hear you." The voice says to me. I start to feel defeated, but then I remember that Bakura had told me he would always be with me. He would never lie to me.
I step on my capture's foot and he loosens his grip slightly and I slip out of it. Turning I kick him in his stomach and he bends over, coughing. I run around him for the door, but he takes hold of my foot and I trip. Dammit! I was almost free!
"Don't run away, you fool! I came to warn you!"
I pause in my struggle and turn to look at the stranger.
"You have to stay away from the fallen god! He means you harm!"
"What are you talking about?! Malik is my friend!" I kick his arm away with my foot and I crawl away to the door.
"Wait! Hear me out! The fallen god will bring you to death! He will sacrifice the chosen ones to save him self! He is a selfish god! Please listen to what I say!" the stranger pleads with me but I can not believe him!
"No! Go away!" I yell at him and to my surprise he does. In a flash of light, he is gone. 'Was he a god as well??' I stare at the spot where the so called 'god' was. How long I sit there I don't know. I don't move until I shiver violently.
I stand up and stumble out the barn, not bothering to close the door again. I rush back to the house, only to lose my way. The snow is falling hard and the wind is howling. It blows me over and I stumble forward to my knees. My hands catch my fall but I can't stand back up. I am so cold. I am breathing heavily and my eyes are getting blurry.
My hands give out and I fall down into the snow covered ground. The snow blows all around me and I feel so cold. My eyes flutter shut and I black out into the darkness.

Bakura POV
I wake up and immediately notice Ryou is not at my side. I sit up and look around the room quickly seeing the boy is not in here. I throw the blankets off me and get up. I walk out of the room looking down both sides of the hall, hearing nothing from where Malik and Marik were staying. I headed down the stairs and looked in the room with the fire. He was not there either. I looked in the kitchen. 'Where the hell is that boy?' I glare at the fire as I return to it. I glance at the door. 'He wouldn't go out, would he??' I start to turn back to look at the fire but I do a double take at the door. Ryou's jacket was missing. 'Did he really go out?!'
I curse out loud. "Dammit! Didn't know it is dangerous out there?!"
I grab my own coat and open the door. I walk down the path through the blinding snow.
"Ryou!" I shout out, hoping he would hear me. "Are you out here?"
'Stupid kid! Where is he?' I glare at the falling snow, wishing it away. I continue on hoping that I was going the right way. I had no idea where I was going, but I had a feeling I was going the right way. I don't know how I knew it but I just did.
I came upon a barn. I went into it and looked around. "Ryou?" I called out and no answer came. I mutter to myself. "Where are you?" I walk back out of the barn and start walking back.
I stumbled on something on the ground. I curse and I was about to kick what ever it was, but I spotted brown in the snow. I quickly rushed over and brushed off the snow.
"Ryou!!" I called out and pulled the boy out of the snow. He was so cold. I lifted him in my arms and practically ran back to the house. Thankfully I didn't lock the door. I kicked it open with my foot and it slammed opened.
I placed my frozen angel by the fire and went up stairs to grab more blankets. I guess I made a lot of noise because Malik and Marik emerged from their room.
"Why are you making so much noise so early in the morning, Bakura?" Malik said to me sleepily.
I ignore them as I start to strip the wet clothes from the boy and wrap him in the warm blankets.
Malik comes over. "What are you doing?"
"The stupid idiot went out! He got caught in the snow storm and I found him frozen in the snow! Foolish prince!" I scream out my anger and Malik quickly goes to make some warm drink. And Marik gets more blankets. I hold my angel close, keeping him warm.
I brush his wet hair out of his cold face and I rub his cheeks to help him keep warm. "Don't' leave me, angel. Please. I can not live without you." I whisper to him.
I stay like that with him for what seems like hours. And it really has. The sun comes out and the snow storm calms down. I hate the snow. I blame it for everything that happened. Stupid snow!
My angel was dry and warm now. Why isn't he waking up? I bury my face into his silver hair. I had stayed by the fire all morning with him. Malik and Marik were sitting on the couch trying not to fall asleep, but I knew they already had.
I felt the boy start to stir. "Ryou?" I ask him. I watch his face and his eyes flutter open. I am greeted with emerald eyes.
"Bakura?" he says softly with a confused look on his face.
"Are you okay??" I ask him and he nods. I kiss him and hug him tightly. "I'm glad you are safe. What made you think you could stand a storm like that??"
"I'm sorry, 'Kura." The boy replies tiredly. "I don't know why I did it."
I sigh in defeat. I was just glad that he wasn't hurt or worse. "Please don't do that again."
"I wont, I promise." He says with a small smile. I let him fall back asleep in my arms. I pull him close to me. I didn't want to admit that he really scared me. I was scared that I had lost him. I could not bear to be without him. He is apart of me now. He is my life.
We stayed like that until I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and saw Malik looking at me.
"Maybe you should take him back upstairs. He should probably rest in a bed."
I nodded my answer and I stood up with the sleeping boy in my arms. It was about mid day now and Ryou was still sleeping soundly. I went up the stairs and opened the door to our room. As I set him down, he wok up. I didn't think he would wake up this soon. I smiled down at him.
"How are you feeling?" I ask him and I kneel down beside the bed, brushing away the locks of hair that fell into his face.
"I'm fine." He says and sits up. The blanket falls from around him and I can't help but stare at his ivory skin. I swallow the breath I was holding and sit down on the ground against the wall. My heart is pounding. 'I should leave before I do something I regret!' I tell myself as I stand up and head fort he door.
"Kura?"
I hesitate as I place my hand on the door knob. I can't do this! Why must I suffer so? I hear the boy's movement behind me. I dare not turn around. I fell him wraps his arms around me.
"Don't leave me alone." I hear my angel say quietly into my back.
"I love you, Bakura." He tells me softly. I hear my heart pounding in my ears. Was this love? I knew I lusted after the boy and I did love him but was this true love? I gazed into eyes of the angel in my arms and I decided it was.
"I love you too, Ryou." I reply, feeling him wrap his arms around me.
He looks up at me and smiles. "You stole my heart, thief."
I snort at that. "You're the thief, prince. You stole mine the moment I saw you." He blushed cutely and I kissed him again.
I turned around and fell back on the bed, pulling the boy with me. He lay upon my body, resting his head on my chest. It felt right as if we were made for each other. I played with his hair, wrapping it around my finger. He didn't seem to mind.
"You should get some sleep, love." I tell him softly and he nods. I could tell he was already falling asleep. I smile down at my angel and kiss the top of his head.
"Good night." I say to him, but he is already fast asleep on me. I didn't want to move him. I liked it where he was. He was warm. I wrapped a blanket around us and I closed my own eyes. I was exhausted from our loving activities. Who knew the boy had so much energy? I chuckle at my thought and sighed happily. I have never been this happy in my life. I felt myself drift off into a dreamless sleep.
