Chapter 3: I Thought You Were Mine

The day seemed short for Malik as the sun began to set. He stood by an alleyway that he seemed very familiar with. He stood with his back against the brick wall of the red old rundown building as his left foot also rested against it. He lifted his head up to the sound of big clanky boots walking towards him, to see a boy, a slim, yet manly, tall boy with the craziest hair that anyone had ever seen. It had a mix of gold spikes pointing to every corner of the earth, and black with a mix of purple streaks. The boy's huge purple eyes looked at Malik as he gave a grin and said,

"Well, you're here a little bit early today. Did you run out of money already Malik? Or was it that you just couldn't resist seeing me again?" Malik just looked around with an un-amused face and said,

"Hey, Where's your little man servant Yami? Is he not here this time?" Yami didn't blink as he said,

"Oh, Jou? Well, he'll be with us tonight very shortly. I hope that you're ready because I'm in a bit of a hurry tonight, so you better cum quick." Yami motioned his finger for Malik to follow him. They walked for a good twenty minutes until they reached the usual abandoned shack gray wooden that looked like one huff from the big bad wolf would be too much for it. There were caution signs around it and barbed wire that protected the shack form vandalizers. But Yami thought that this place was perfect for his job. He lifted the tape and barbed wire and headed a good twenty-five feet to the shack. And what did you know; standing by the door was that dog Yami calls his "best friend".

"Hey, I was waitin' Yami." Jou's arms were crossed and standing against the shack just like Malik was standing before as Yami walked up to Joey and wrapped his arms around his neck.

"Sorry Jou, but I had to bring a guest tonight. It seems he's a little low on cash again"

"That's ok babe, it's nice doin' people favors." Jou gave an evil smirk as Yami tore his gaze from the blonde's chocolate eyes and pressed his lips against his as Jou's hands made their way down to touch Yami's ass.

Malik made an annoyed face and said, "Ok love birds lets get this over with." He turned his gaze to Yami who was still caught up in the kiss. "I'll have you know Yami that I'm in a bit of a hurry myself." Yami parted his lips from Jou.

"Oh yes, that right, you have to get home to your bitch. Fine then, lets go." Malik didn't answer him in anyway and just followed both of the boys into the old creaky shed that was in the middle of nowhere, someplace where screams could not be heard by anyone, no matter how loud.

AN: ( X9 )

It was so cold…getting colder…Malik has been longer than expected…the dark, the comforting dark. It felt so nice, but still…very, very cold. Bakura slowly opened his eyes and arose from the cold basement floor and back against the damp wall. His chains rattled as he tried to make himself comfortable. He let out small groan followed by a lonely sigh. "Malik…what's taking you so long?" Bakura always waited for Malik to come home. He's been treated so badly by him, he always wondered why he waited for him to return home. He just hoped to God that one day, after returning home from one of his outings that he would come down the damp steps of the cold basement and open his arms to him, comfort him. He would them wrap his own arms around Malik and then, the cold old basement would feel oh so warm. He just hoped to God that everything would be the way they used to be. He just wanted…

"I'm back!" Malik put his boots on the kitchen floor and laid a fat stack of money onto the kitchen counter that he had "earned". He didn't bother to put his shoes by the door at all. He made his way slowly down the basement, holding his lower back a little, as he saw Bakura's head lifted up quickly like something amazing was about to happen as Malik stepped back and hesitated a bit and said, "W—What the Hell is that face for?" Bakura's head just dropped.

"Oh…sorry…it-its nothing…" Bakura's face looked like a sad puppy that had just got beaten by his owner, even though at times that how he felt.

"O-Ok then, stand up, its time to eat." Malik unfastened the chain from the wall then from Bakura's neck. "Hurry up, take these chains back upstairs."

Bakura hesitated and said, "F—First ca—can you un-tightened this collar…. just a little…please?" Malik let out an annoyed sigh and walked up to him and loosened it a bit with closed eyes,

"Now get the Hell upstairs, before I make you." He watched as Bakura did what he was told. Bakura stopped on the last step and just looked back at Malik who was staring at the wall where Bakura had been chained. "Hey! I said get upstairs Dammit!" Bakura's face turned pink as he said,

"Oh yeah! I'm sorry! I'm going!" And he rushed to put the chains away as quickly as possible.

The table was quiet, as always. There was a foam cup of ramen microwavable noodles in front of both of them. They had their plastic forks and plastic cups of milk. Malik was quietly eating his food at a very slow pace while Bakura just stared at him as he twirled his fork in his noodles. Malik looked up to see two big brown eyes staring at him and he felt his face twist up, "What!? Why the hell do you keep starring at me?!" Bakura's quickly looked at his food as began eating as Malik gave out a "Hn" sound through his nose. Bakura actually liked that little noise that he made because it didn't sound like he was mad, or happy, it was just a noise that seemed…. a bit cute actually. Bakura smiled to himself and continued eating. The table jerked a couple of times in the past five minutes that they were eating as Malik got up holding his lower back once again.

Bakura wanted to say, Are you ok Malik? But knew what would probably come out of his mouth like, Shut the Hell up and mind your own damn business! Or Leave me the Hell alone God Dammit! So he just left it alone. He wanted him to say something at least, it was just too quiet.

"So…how was your day today…. Malik?" Malik stared at Bakura, into those huge, innocent, oh how innocent they were, Brown eyes. He just then gave a smirk and said,

"As if it were any of your business, it was ok…like any other day." Malik walked over to the sink and rinsed his cup out and threw it away and walked over to the restroom. Bakura got up slowly and emptied his noodles down the drain of the rusty sink and threw away his cups and fork.

"That's nice…" He looked over at the counter again and stared at the wad of cash. "So I take it you…have a job? I mean…you usually always come home with so much money….so I was just wonder—"

"You were just what?!" Malik snapped back. Malik didn't know how loud he had been as he calmed his voice down. "Just….go to bed now."

It was late; he headed upstairs to lie down on his matt. He opened his door slowly, "Man…it still stinks in here…what the?" he looked over to his window and it was nailed shut. "What? When did this happen?" He tried to open it but he couldn't. "Dang…it's nailed from the outside." All of a sudden Malik's voice was by his door.

"Oh yeah, I did that before I actually left today. If you want your room to air out, I suggest you just leave your door open. Now go to sleep."

"Bu—ok…" Bakura sat on his mattress and laid down. Malik walked to his room, which was right next to Bakura's. They lived in an apartment so those were the only actual bedrooms in the house. Bakura closed his eyes slowly, but he couldn't fall asleep. He just wondered what Malik had been doing. He knows he should mind his own business. He knows that he shouldn't even care. And he knows that he should hate Malik for everything he's done. But he couldn't. He just couldn't. And he knew, that if he really and dearly wanted to runaway, that he would have done it already.

The moon shone throughout all the windows of the house. Malik sat on the edge of his bed and let out a sigh as he closed his eyes for a second. He got up and undressed, he had been so worn out from "work" tonight that he thought that he would have absolutely no problem going to sleep. But it wasn't that easy.

It had been an hour; his eyes were still open, lying there on his bed. He was tired…but his mind just wouldn't let him go to sleep. He tossed and turned as the silent house began to creek. "What the hell…" Malik go out of bed to a sound he heard coming from Bakura's room. He banged on the door, "Shut the HELL up!!" He waited for a second…. no sound. He headed toward his bed once again, but then he heard it once again, that sound. It was a soft sound…but started to get on his nerves as he headed to Bakura's room. "Baku—" As he stood in Bakura's doorway he saw Bakura shivering his ass off, holding himself to keep himself warm. And the noise, it was the sound of Bakura crying in his sleep. Malik just stared at him, not in shock, not in surprise. It didn't surprise him that Bakura was crying…he was such a baby; he's probably just having a nightmare. Malik just turned away and headed back to his room until another sound stopped him in his tracks.

"Malik…" Malik quickly turned around,

"WHAT?!" But he saw the Bakura was still asleep. He was talking in his sleep. "…" Malik didn't say a word and just watched Bakura sleep as he tossed and turned.

"…Malik…wait for me…. please don't…." Malik's face looked like it had no emotion; he just stared in curiosity, in wonder. He didn't even know why he cared so much. He didn't even like Bakura that much…. right…right?

"What the hell am I doing…I'm going to bed…"

"Wait Malik don't go!" Malik's body flinched as he turned to see that Bakura had woken up in cold sweat. His eyes wide to see Malik standing in his doorway. "Wh---What? Malik?" Malik just turned around and said,

"You were making dumbass noises, I was only here to shut you up, now go to sleep." He walked out of the doorway and back into his room and slammed the door. And to himself Bakura said,

"I'm sorry…."
