FOREVER DARK chapter 4: Dreams
It was around three in the morning when Ryou finally stumbled into the Kaiba mansion. Normally the security would have been stronger, but Seto had warned the guards about Ryou. Ryou was surprised to see that Seto was already awake, but he was even more surprised to see that Mokuba was too.
"Umm.hey, what are you doing up already?" Seto looked up at him.
"Well.it's wedenesday. We have school. I was going to wake you up but you were already awake." At this Seto looked up from his paper to give Ryou a look that said 'I want to talk to you later'.
Ryou nodded. "But isn't three a little early to be getting up?" Seto chuckled and Mokuba glared at his brother then left the table. Ryou looked after him. "Did I say something wrong?"
Seto finally answered, "For most people, it's early. With Mokuba though, he puts up such a fuss that he doesn't want to go to school that it takes at LEAST four hours to get him in the limo." Ryou smiled in amusement. "In fact, it shouldn't be long now before he starts-"
"BIG BROTHEEEERR!! I DON'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL!!!"
Seto sighed. "You laugh now, but you have no idea how annoying it gets. Could you help me wrestle the kid into the limo? I swear, I need to get him a leash!" There was a flash of black and red and Seto sighed again. "Damned sugar coated cereals."
Exactly three hours and forty-five minutes later, they were finally ready to leave. Before Ryou they left, however, Seto stopped him and took him out of Mokuba's hearing range.
"Ryou.you were out all last night.right?" Silently, Ryou nodded. "Well, aren't you tired? I mean, I do that a lot, but I'm used to it. Would you like to stay home and sleep today?" Suddenly, Ryou noticed just how very tired he was.
"Yeah, I think I'll do that, but." Seto blinked at him.
"What?"
Ryou blushed a little. "Um.I may need a map."
"Oh.heh. Just ask around. Some of the doors have it written on them what is in them. Go wherever you like, just don't go on the top floor. That's where I do some of my lab work, so there's nothing interesting in there."
"EXCEPT your porno, right big brother?" Unnoticed by the two of them, Mokuba had snuck up behind Seto, who was now blushing furiously.
"I do NOT have porno in my labs and office!!!" Mokuba laughed as he was chased by Seto. Seto turned for a moment to address Ryou. "I'm not going to ask where you were just yet, and you don't have to answer when I do, but we'll have more time later." With that, he attempted to catch Mokuba again and drag him back to the limo.
Ryou sighed. Now what was he going to do? So, he did the most obvious thing that came to mind. He slept.
*Dream begin*
The cold rain hit his face again and again as the jeering voice made it's way to the young boy's ears. The figure shivered and cried. "Please.stop.not like this.please let this not be real. Just kill me already. Please just kill me." The darker side stopped his taunting to walk over to Ryou and kick him.
"You were never worth the Kaibas anyway. Now they have paid for their kindness. As will you. I warned you, Ryou, you baka. I warned you and you should have listened. But you didn't, and now you will suffer." A loud scream pierced the night air as the one known as Ryou ceased to exist.
*End dream*
"Ryou! Ryou! Wake up!" Ryou's finally stopped thrashing and screaming and stared fearfully into Seto's eyes. Seto shivered. "Ryou, stop that. It's okay. Ryou?" Ryou had started shaking and it appeared he was awake.
"I.I couldn't stop him Seto.I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Mokuba.Seto."
"Ryou, it's alright. It was just a dream. Calm down, Ryou."
".Bakura." Seto stood up quickly.
"Bakura? That bastard was here again? Hm. Well, I'll just have to increase the security around here." For the first time since he woke up, Ryou seemed sane.
"N- No. In.my dream. He.he was.I'm sorry Seto. I'll leave now."
Seto rolled his eyes. "I thought we went over this. You're staying here. Got it? If your Yami can hurt you without even being here, I don't want to find out what would happen if you lived with him."
Ryou would have protested more, but he suddenly remembered his discussion with Yami the previous night and he nodded. "Ok. Um.what are you doing here anyway? Shouldn't you be at school?"
Seto smiled. "I guess you really were up all night. You must have slept all day, because school's over." Ryou blinked as Seto looked for something in his bag. He walked over to Ryou with some papers in his hand. "Now, no normal person would want to do his homework but I've noticed that you never miss a day of homework, even when you're sick." Ryou blushed and he couldn't help wondering why Seto had been thinking about him at all. "As for your Yami, I don't care what he thinks. I will protect you from him and he will regret the day he began hurting you. Although.," Seto said thoughtfully while Ryou became steadily redder, " I would like to know what happened between you and your Yami when he was here, and I would also like to know where you were last night (A/N: Doesn't that sound like a murder mystery? Lol!), but I won't make you tell me if you don't want me to know." Seto smiled sadly and began to get up.
Ryou considered his options. Seto deserved to know. After all, it was his house he was staying in, and he was beginning to suspect that his Yami had been right in his prediction that he would become in love. Ryou wasn't sure if that was good or bad. He wanted Seto to know, he suddenly realized. And Seto had every right to. He only hoped he wouln't be too upset that he had told Yami before him. And that Yami thought he needed help.along with the fact that he had almost run away, again. Ryou took a deep breath and stopped Seto from leaving.
"Wait.I'll tell you."
Seto faced him. "You don't have to if you don't want to."
Ryou smiled to himself. ".I know. But.you need to know." He looked up at Seto. "You must know the facts, because Bakura cannot get away with what he is planning." ********************************
*********************************************** Dark Samurai: How will Seto take the news Ryou is going to tell him? Will Ryou even tell him at all? If you want to know, read and review (please). If you hated it so much that you won't read another chapter of this story, tell me or I'm sure to keep writing this until it's finally done.
