Come Back To Me

Chapter 2 Storm Breaking

Lunchtime found Ryou and Malik sitting under the maple tree outside. What's left of their lunches sit forgotten at their feet and currently, Ryou is telling Malik details about the night before, "...and that's basically it Malik. Last night was so magical." Ryou finished with a far away look in his eyes.

"I'm surprised Ryou. You should have stayed in bed. I stayed home for a week after Marik and I fucked!" Malik exclaimed, gaping at his friend. Ryou gave Malik a confused look. Seeing this, Malik began to snicker. "Believed my lie did you? Remember last month when I was out for a week and told you all that I had gotten OSS for the week doing something the teachers didn't like and that I couldn't remember why?"

Ryou looked thoughtful until realization crossed his features, "You lied to them in a way similar to me!"

"Uh huh."

"Why?"

"Because, like you, they wouldn't understand why I would stay loyal to such a destructive yami. If they knew..." Malik trailed off when Ryou suddenly sprang up and took off across the yard as fast as his current stare would allow.

"What the hell Ryou?!" Malik exclaimed as he got up and ran up to his friend and stopped him in his tracks, gripping his shoulders to prevent escape.

"Something's happened to Bakura!" Ryou wailed.

"Is it bad?"

"Yes!"

"Bad enough that you'd skip the rest of school today?"

"What do you think? I need to get to Bakura!" Ryou began to struggle with Malik, but was rewarded with a sharp shake from his friend.

"Settle down you. I'll take you wherever you feel Bakura is at. Okay?"

Ryou relaxed into his friends grip and nodded.

"Good. Now, follow me." Malik took hold of Ryou's hand and lead him to the student parking, where his motorcycle was sitting. Malik gave Ryou the only helment and got on the bike, revving it as Ryou got on behind him.

"Better hold on tight Ryou. I'm going to go as fast as I can."

Ryou nodded and tightened his grip around Malik's waist. Malik waited a moment more before tearing out of the parking lot. Malik was going so fast that any cops who tried to follow them were easily out maneuvered.

AN: Oh no! What's happened to Bakura? Find out in the next chapter. Review please. (Gives puppy eyed look.)
