Ryou navigated his way around domino until he came to a stop in front of Burger World. Inside he saw Yuugi, Yami, and Jounochi.

As he made his way towards them, Yuugi's head popped up, smiling, from their conversation.

"Hey Ryou!"

"Hello." He smiled back and took a seat.

Yami's face turned serious.

"Is everything alright Ryou?"

Ryou looked up, surprised.

"Why do you ask?"

"Bakura's been acting…strange lately."

"It's nothing, really!" Ryou said, assuring them with a quick smile.

Yami lifted his brow. "Okay, but if there's anything you need, we're here for you."

Ryou nodded. "Yes thanks." He didn't want anyone else involved.

"Isn't that Bakura right now?" Jou pointed at the front door.

Ryou turned around to see his yami at the front with Malik.

Bakura stopped as soon as his eyes caught Ryou, making Malik bump into him.

"What is it Bakura?"

"Look." He said shortly, pointing inside Burger World.

"It's Ryou…aren't you going to see him?"

Bakura looked at Ryou for a second and then broke eye contact, walking on. Malik reached out, putting a hand on Bakura's shoulder.

"Hey! what about Ryou?"

"What about him?" Bakura said coldly, brushing his hand away and continued walking away.

"Bakura!"

The white haired demon turned around, acknowledging a familiar voice and seeing Ryou standing, out of breath. Ryou slowly walked up to Bakura gripping his shirt. Bakura looked down at his hikari.

"B-Bakura…please wait…"

"I am waiting."

Noticing his yami still there, Ryou let go of his shirt and looked up at him, but redirected his eyes back to the ground.

"I…I'm sorry…I mis--"

"Why are you sorry?"

"Huh?" Ryou looked back up. Bakura gave him a stern look and turned away walking.

"Bakura…" Malik tried to reason with Bakura.

Ryou eyes widened and started to water. He started to run.

"Bakura!" Ryou shouted out. He tried to grab his yami's arm but Bakura walked through the wall of a building and disappeared (see Manga for details) Ryou continued to follow the walls.

"Bakura!"

Ryou followed the alley ways until he came to a dead end. Bakura was no where in sight. Suddenly out of nowhere, arms came from behind and wrapped themselves around him and pulled him back against a body.

The hikari looked to his right to see Bakura resting his head on his shoulder.

"Bakura…" Ryou whispered.

"Shh…I'm waiting."

Bakura kissed Ryou's cheek and released his arms around him. Ryou turned to face the wall, but found Bakura to be gone. Footsteps echoed the alleyways as Ryou ran back to Tozuku's complex.

"What's the matter?" Tozuku questioned as he entered his room after Ryou burst into the apartment and continued up the stairs.

"I'm going back…I'm going back home." Ryou said; packing what was little of his belongings into a small bag.

Ryou turned to meet Tozuku.

"Thank you for everything."

Before Ryou could leave the room Tozuku grabbed his wrist. The aibou looked at him with a face of confusion and then proceeded to wrenching his arm away.

"Huh? Hey let go!"

Tozuku then pulled Ryou into a tight embrace as the aibou gasped.

"Why? Why do you love him?"

Ryou faced away from the ex-thief. His eyes wandered as he panicked, but he calmed down as his captor released a little of his hold on him.

"Because he's always there…he's always there…"

"Listen Ryou…you can't love someone because they're always there…" He put his mouth next toRyou's ear."besides I'm here for you..."

Ryou looked up into Tozuku's eyes.

"Tozu…"

He was cut off as Tozuku's lips met his. At first Ryou backed away, but then went into the kiss. Tozuku's tongue slid across the aibou's lips, begging for entrance and Ryou obliged. Ryou's knees became weak and he sunk to the ground, Tozuku gently set him lying down; straddling the aibou's waist as he continued exploring his mouth.

Ryou broke the kiss and looked at Tozuku with a little uncertainly. Tozuku smiled, stroking the angel's hair.

"You're beautiful, the greatest treasure I've ever stolen." He bent his head down to nibbled on Ryou's collarbone until he reached his mouth and let his tongue play with his newly found lover's.

Blushing, Ryou stood up as he squeezed himself from under Tozuku, laughing nervously. "That's what he said," he picked up his bag turning towards the door, "I have to go see him."

"yes, I told him only a couple days." Tozuku said getting up.

Ryou nodded. Tozuku walked up to him and puta hand on his chin, lifting until his saw Ryou's eyes. "Take your time now."

The aibou smiled and hugged the ex-thief. "see you later."

They kissed and parted.

TBC…
