FOREVER DARK chapter 3: Midnight Encounter
For the longest time, Ryou just stood, in shock, trying to sort out his emotions. His yami was going to kill Seto?? He didn't love Seto.did he? He had to get out of there before something happened to the Kaiba brothers. Ryou was so entranced by his thoughts that he didn't notice Seto walk into the room. He only noticed when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Ryou? Are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost!"
".Technically, I have. Bakura was in here."
"WHAT!?! Did he hurt you? Are you okay?!" Ryou finally tore his gaze from the window he had been looking at.
"Seto.I can't stay here. It's not fair of me to intrude in your lives. I can't risk putting you in danger."
"Ryou, we had this conversation before. You're not intruding. I brought you here because I wanted to. Plus, Mokuba and I have excellent bodyguards so you don't need to worry about us being in danger!" Ryou shook his head.
"No, Seto. I can't bring myself to be the cause of pain for you and your brother. I have to leave."
"Did you hear nothing of what I just said? We're fine! You're the one who's in danger! Where would you go, anyway?" Seto demanded, his hands on his hips.
".home, I guess."
"Ryou, your house is the most unsafe place you could be! I am not going to let you go back to that insane baka who left you out in the rain. You're staying here, and if I have to knock you out and tie you to a chair to do so, I will!"
Ryou sighed, nodding. He knew he could not stay here, but Seto would not let him leave. He would just have to go when Seto wasn't there. Seto smiled, knowing he had the boy, at least temporarily.
"I'm glad I don't have to tie you to a chair. Now, I had originally come up here to ask if there was something you wanted to do, but I'm afraid I got a little sidetracked. Since you'll be staying with us, Mokuba and I thought we should go shopping and get you a new wardrobe."
Ryou blushed shyly. "That's okay, Seto. I wouldn't want you wasting your money on me."
Seto rolled his eyes. "I thought you might say that. Number one, any money spent on you is not a waste. You have such low self- esteem! Number two, we're going to buy you stuff whether you want us to or not, get used to it. And number three, we'll be going soon, so you might as well get ready." Seto smiled at him and walked out. "I'll see you in a little while, Ryou!"
Ryou sighed as he watched the door shut behind him. When would Seto understand that Ryou was putting him in danger? Tonight, he decided, he would have to leave. Meanwhile, he'd have to go shopping with them to avoid suspicion.

Ryou blinked as he looked down on the outfit Mokuba had picked out for him. He looked up at Mokuba with pleading eyes.
"Mokuba.is this really necessary?"
"Of course! Besides, you look good in it, right Seto?"
Seto smirked. Ryou was wearing a dark red shirt with spikes around the wrists. He also had on black leather pants with a chain hanging out of the pocket and had a black cross drawn in makeup under both of his eyes. What could he say? Mokuba wasn't as innocent as one would think.
Seto finally answered, "It looks great, Mokuba, but he needs a necklace or pendant to go with it." He walked over to the jewelry section and selected a pendant of a black dragon which he placed over Ryou's head. Mokuba nodded his approval and they bought the outfit and left the store. Ryou hid behind a garbage can when he saw someone he recognized. Seto laughed.
"You're not hiding from Yugi and his friends, now are you?" Ryou looked at him and kept his silence, which was enough to guess that meant 'yes'.
"Hi Seto!" Yugi's cheerful voice floated down from a few feet away. "Is Ryou feeling better?" Ryou, now that his name had been mentioned, tried to make himself even smaller, getting a few glances from curious shoppers. Seto smiled. (A/N: What!? In front of Yugi!?)
"Yes, Yugi. In fact, he's so well, he can try to fit behind a garbage can without being seen from the other side." Yugi was confused for a moment before Seto dragged Ryou out, who's face was so red, he blended in with the tulips from the flower shop. Yugi's eyes widened as he saw what his friend was wearing. Ryou blushed even more.
"Ryou.that looks good on you!" Ryou tried to smile but found he was too embarrassed to do so.
"Um.thanks Yugi. Mokuba picked it out." Hey, Ryou, I have your homework with me.," Yugi said, while digging around in his bag, ".here! Found it!" he smiled as he handed Ryou his homework. "If you don't understand it, I can help you."
Ryou shook his head. "That's ok, Yugi. By the way, why did you have it with you?"
Now it was Yugi's turn to blush. "Kaiba told me you were coming here, so I thought I might see you."
"Ah."
"Anyway, I should probably be going, now, so, bye!" He said in a rush and hurried off. Ryou blinked after him.
"Okay."
"Ryou? We should probably be going too." Ryou nodded and the three of them headed back to the limo.

******************************************
Ryou laid on his bed, no, Seto's bed, as he checked to make sure he had left Seto everything he got him. He was dressed in the clothes he had worn when he got thrown out, even though they were ruined. Mokuba had gone to bed a while ago, and it was now eleven at night. Ryou didn't know if there was an alarm on the front door, so he climbed out the bedroom window. Seeing as he didn't want to go home yet, Ryou started heading to Domino Park. For a long time, Ryou just sat on the swings. Swings had always been his favorite item in the park. When no one accepted him, the swings were there to soothe him with the gentle caress of the wind. When people made fun of him, he went on the swings to take him high, away from those ignorant morons. Now, Ryou swung silently as his thoughts wandered everywhere and yet nowhere. So lost in thought was he, that he did not notice the figure next to him until he spoke.
"What are you doing out here, Ryou?" Ryou turned his head, relieved to see a thousand year old pharaoh rather than the white-haired devil.
"Hi Yami. I could ask you the same thing." Yami just smiled.
"I'll tell you if you tell me." Ryou considered this.
"Okay, but you tell me first, and if you have a good reason, I'll tell you my reason."
"Okay. I'm out here because I saw you here through the window and because I wanted to make sure you were all right. You are my aibou's friend, and neither of us would like to see you injured. Weren't you staying at Kaiba's?"
~Damn! That is a good reason.~
Ryou took a deep breath. "Okay, Yami. Yes, I was staying at Seto's, but I can't stay there anymore. Before you ask, no, I didn't get kicked out, because Seto and Mokuba are considerably nicer than they would seem."
Yami blinked. "Then why can't you stay?" Without completely knowing why, Ryou told him of his temporary insanity in his soul room, and what his yami had told him at the Kaiba mansion. When he finished, he realized he had tears in his eyes and he angrily wiped them away. Yami nodded.
"I can see where that might be a problem. I know Seto has good protection, but he's no match for magic. I guess I'll give you this." Yami searched through his pockets until he found a small cell phone. Ryou blinked at it and Yami explained. "If the tomb robber shows up, go to the contacts list and push 1. I'll be able to transport there and help you thanks to some modifications I made. Meanwhile, go back to Kaiba's place. I know he's grown fond of you, and I don't think he would want your Yami to kill you just yet, and neither would I."
Ryou took the cell phone with a small 'thanks' and he slipped it in his pocket. Yami smiled. "Good night, Ryou. Would you like me to escort you back?"
"That's ok. Thank you." They bid each other farewell, and each set off to different destinations.
