Chapter 5:
I lied in bed silently staring out at the moonless sky. 'I'm his daughter? But how?' I sighed heavily and felt Bakura shift restlessly beside me. I was staying at Ryou's house once again because I am always comfortable here. The more I spend here I less I have to hear my family rant on. I closed my eyes and sighed again. 'Why can't I ever control what goes on in my life?' I felt an arm slip over my stomach and felt Bakura's breath against my neck as he snuggled up against me from behind. He mumbled something in his sleep that I couldn't understand and brushed his nose into my hair.
"Don't leave me. I don't want to be alone." Bakura cried out and started speaking another language which I guessed was ancient Egyptian.
I slipped my hand over his and gripped it slightly as he fell silent again. I shifted in the bed and turned to face him. His hair hung loosely over his face as his eyes twitched slightly as they became moistened. 'Why is he crying in his sleep?'
"No, don't leave me!" he yelled suddenly throwing his arms around me and held me tightly against him.
"Bakura, hey Bakura. It's alright." I wrapped my arms around him. He opened his eyes as tears poured out of them. I held him close to me trying to sooth him. "It's okay. No one left you. I'm right here and Ryou is sleeping in his room. It's all okay."
"I'm scared." Bakura said in a weak voice.
My eyes opened slightly out of surprise but then softened while gazing at that white haired demon. "I'm here and I'm not going to leave your side. Don't be scared." I brushed back his hair out of his face and kissed him several times on the mouth to assure him I was staying. I held him for a while as he slowly slipped into a slumber. After what seemed like hours, I too slowly fell asleep.
~Ryou's POV~
I sat on my bed staring at the floor for hours. 'Bakura has been acting strangely lately. I wonder what's wrong with him.' I stood up and left my room to find myself wondering to Bakura's room. I opened the door and peeked inside. I saw Chris holding onto Bakura as he lied there with tear streamed eyes. 'I never knew Bakura cried.' I shut the door and walked downstairs and called Malik. Reluctantly he too was awake.
"What do you think is wrong with him, Ryou?"
"I'm not sure. It looks as if he was crying. He has been acting strange lately and he seems depressed and sad."
"Have you been paying attention to him at all?"
"It's more like he doesn't want to be bothered."
"Does he talk to anyone?"
"Mostly just to Chris."
There was a long pause. "Maybe he loves her." Again there was a long pause as neither of us said a word.
"I'm coming over. I'll be there in a few minutes."
"Alright." Answered Malik as we hung up. I grabbed my jacket and left the house.
~Crystal's POV~
I woke up as sunlight peered through the window and cast golden pools and rays of light on the floor. I shifted to move but couldn't because of a heavy weight pressing down upon me. I heard a soft moan as Bakura shifted as he lied on top of me. I chuckled softly as he opened his eyes slowly and peered down into my eyes. I couldn't help to think how sexy he looked as he gazed into my eyes. At that moment all I wanted was Bakura. That evil sadistic but handsome and wonderful white haired tomb robber. But what about Ryou? Wasn't it him that I thought I wanted to be with? And angel of pure innocence. But a happiness that lit up in his eyes when he saw Malik. A happiness that I never saw before. You could tell his love for Malik was deeper than his love for me. Perhaps I should just be with Bakura?
"What's on your mind?" asked Bakura.
I shifted as he didn't attempt to move off me. I stared up into his eyes as tears began to form in my own.
"What's wrong Chris?" he looked down at me confusingly.
"Say that again. Say my name again."
Bakura moved my hair out of my face while still looking at me puzzled. "Chris, are."
I wrapped my arms around his neck and started to cry. Hearing my name through his voice made me melt inside and I just couldn't contain myself. "I'm sorry.I am so sorry." I let him go hugging myself still.
"What are you so sorry about?" asked Bakura.
"Ryou." I said in a weak voice as Bakura fell silent. "I'm going out with him but I have stronger feelings for someone else. Also I think Ryou loves Malik more. And I'm so confused." I soon started shaking from the stress.
Bakura sat up off me and pulled me into his arms and started stroking my hair. "Shush. Don't cry."
Just then the bedroom door opened. Bakura and I looked over to see Ryou and Malik standing there with Marik leaning against the wall with his back bored.
"What's going on?" asked Bakura.
"We heard everything." answered Malik.
"Why didn't you say something Chris? I would have understood. You didn't have to hurt yourself that way." Said Ryou.
"I don't know. I guess I was scared."
Marik heard the door bell ring and left to go down stairs.
Malik glanced at Ryou as Ryou glanced at Bakura.
"Don't look at me, I did nothing wrong." Said Bakura.
I laughed lightly as Malik smiled.
Marik came back up carrying a dozen of roses in his arms and gave them top me. "They're for you."
I paused for a moment taking them. "Thank you."
"They aren't from me, here." He handed me a card with fancy handwriting in silver ink.
"What's it say?" ask Malik.
"I told you I will try to prove I love you. Have you figured out who I am yet? I love you and I will not try to let anyone ever hurt you again. Like I said, I'm not sure you love me back. If you somehow give me a sign, I might come forward. Farewell beautiful angel." I read the card aloud.
"Wow, I wonder who it's from." I asked.
"It was a delivery guy. No one that you might have known."
I nodded my head and glanced at the clock. "Oh my god, its late!"
"Late for what?" asked Bakura.
"I promised I'd go see Yami at the library! I have to go!"
The other four glanced at each other as I stood up, slipped into my shoes, grabbed my jacket and brush and ran down the stairs and out the from door.
