Tired dull eyes were opened with a low groan, not loud due to the soar throat of the sobbing youth. The darkness of his subconscious had been merciful as his eyes gazed about seeing he was now in his room. Fresh tears came to line at Ryou's eyes. His body shivered at the pain and disgrace it had been forced through his mind wanting it all to go away. He was filthy lying upon the clean white sheets of his bed his tears of agony tainting that sanctuary of the smallest haven of peace. He had no will of moving from there he would taint that room and all who came upon him would be tainted as well though they did not even have knowledge of his agony. He did not want them to, yes Ryou wanted pity and to be comforted like always but not be seen as he was now. Not to be seen as a dirty disgrace staining all. He glanced over at the small bedside clock find the numbers to read. "5:30"Had he truly only been asleep thirty minutes? He glanced at the date seeing he had slept the entire day way. His stomach gave a disapproval of neglect but he made no notion to stop it he didn't want to move from that spot. The door as brought ajar causing Ryou to bring his gaze to the noise.

"Bakura. ." His parched throat hurt at even the saying of the other name before he rolled over bring his pillow over his head as if to hide. Gentle hands rubbed at his back as he turned seeing his mother with a worried look. His eyes went dull once more even though he hated to admit it he wished it had been Bakura to come and see him. His mother forced a smile.

"Honey come down and join us for dinner won't you?" She asked sweetly. Ryou sighed damn his hunger his wallowing would have to wait until later though he tried not to glare at his mother as he stood wincing wanting to cry even more now that what had caused his pain was brought into even more clarity of a grim reminder as pain shot down his injured rump. He made his way grudgingly to the table where he sat not next to Bakura, but to his mother. Bakura looked a bit confused by this his gaze remaining on his brother as his father cleared his throat to start the payer.

"Dear heavenly father thank yo-"

"Don't bother." Ryou spoke quietly enough for his father to stop for a moment before continuing.

"Thank you for this meal and to your loyal followers, which sit befo-"

"Just shut up!" Ryou glared. "He is not going to waste his time listening to you and he is not the one who cooked this meal so why don't you simply give appreciation to your wife for once." Ryou lowered his head. "Thank you mother for cooking this meal and putting up this jackass for all these years." He said passing the plate around as they always did after prayer. Bakura not always attended family dinners, in fact it was rare he did usually having him been out late grabbing a bite with Marik, but he did know this was not normal behavior for one. Yet no one said a word and they continued eating their meal. Bakura trying desperately to steal a lock with Ryou's eyes which remained hidden with his long locks never glancing up. The loud beeping of the phone ringer went off as Mrs. Genko stood to retrieve it. She soon returned.

"Bakura dear it's Marik." Ryou stopped for a moment feeling tears come back at his eyes. Bakura glanced to Ryou unaware of the change in him emotions.

"Tell him I will call him back." He said hearing his father mumble something about calling during dinner but paid him no mind. A small laugh came from Ryou.

"Why not go talks to your good friend hmm? I am sure he has so many fucking good things to tell you about!" He said standing. Mr. Genko stood as well. Bakura gave a confused look up at Ryou.

"Ryou that is enough I will not stand this type of behavior in my house!" Ryou was backhanded causing the emotionally unstable boy to fall to floor sobbing. Bakura now lost beside himself in anger flipped the table over sending a blow straight to his father's jaw. Mrs. Genko joined her younger son in crying pleading for her family to stop this madness. Mr. Genko glared at the two. "No family of mine will disrespect me in my own domain! Both of you will be out of this house!" Bakura smirked ready to kill the man.

"Fine both me and Ryou never plan on seeing you again!" He screamed grabbing Ryou up by the arm and leading him to the door.

"You'll be crawling back to here soon enough with your tail between your legs you will find you are nothing with out me! God will see both of your souls to damnation!" With that the door slammed heavily Mrs. Genko trying to piece what had happened only concluding her two baby boys were gone. The phone swayed abandoned off the hook the heavy dial tone being the only sound in the home.

Ryou stared blankly out of the car window not saying a word. Bakura glared ahead as they drove away from their home no idea where they were headed.

"That bastard I'll kill him for hurting you. . ." He glanced over to his brother angered he had nothing to say about his father. "Why aren't you even fucking talking to me now!" Ryou winced a bit but remained silence causing Bakura to make an irritated noise before simply glaring and trying to pay attention while he drove. "Look I know it's not you I should be yelling at I know that, Listen I talked to Marik today he has a brother that lives in Tokyo, Malik, He is willing to let us live there I know you'd love it in Tokyo better than this stiffed up place." Ryou said nothing as they turned onto the highway the sky now fully dark. Bakura reached a hand over to gently stroke at Ryou's hair. "Things are going to get better for us just you wait alright? I am going to make you the happiest person alive I swear." He gave a light kiss to Ryou's cheek who this time turned and smiled just the slightest sign of happiness. Bakura pulled over behind a corporation parking his car so the cops wouldn't see him from the road. He pulled down the hood of his black convertible. He lifted the middle armrest lying down and pulling Ryou beside him as they lay on the leather seating beneath the stars. Ryou gave light kisses to Bakura's neck as he held on tightly to his lover.

"I love you Bakura." Ryou whispered burying his head within the crock of Bakura's neck feeling great relief by simply being held by the other. The elder twin smirked a bit at the words.

"We'll drive in early tomorrow morning and grab some things we'll be alright we don't need anyone as long as we can be together it'll be perfect you'll see."
