Chapter 1… Memories in a dream!

Prologue

Flashback

"Atemu leave Ryou alone…?" Bakura said in a worried, angry voice.

"And why should I do what you say tomb robber?" he asked with a wide smirk across his face.

--------- Meanwhile--------

While Bakura and pharaoh Atemu argued, poor Ryou was sprawled across the floor, crimson sticky blood was oozing away from previous cuts from where the pharaoh's guards were beating him with large, rusty, heavy chains. His pale skin making his soon to be dead body stand out. His glazed hazel eyes wondered around the room until they landed on Bakura. Ryou's gaze was filled with sorrow and silent pleas.

"…b-bakura?…" Ryou stammered.

"l-leave…save y-y-yourself…" he said weakly.

Bakura's angry gaze left Atemu, landed on Ryou and instantly softened.

"Ryou…W-what are you saying?…I'm not going to leave!" Bakura suggested in confusion.

"Obviously, your little friend over there doesn't want to be rescued…" Pharaoh Atemu stated in amusement.

"P-please Bakura?…" Ryou asked just above a whisper.

"I won't make it, even if you do get me out of here!" Ryou's voice was so quite that it made him sound slightly unsure, however his eyes were so intense it proved he was completely serious of his decision.

Bakura glared at Atemu, then turned and walked over to Ryou. He then bent down and looked him right in the eyes.

"Do you really want me to leave Ryou? I care about you, I would never leave". He said softly never taking his eyes away off him.

Ryou's heart sank due to the devastated look in Bakura's eyes.

"Y-you really care…about m-me?" he asked nervously, with an obvious hint of hope in his eyes.

Bakura was shocked about the question. He never actually thought he'd have to admit the feelings he had for Ryou that he, himself tried to deny, but to actually out with and tell Ryou to his face, and in front of pharaoh Atemu was a different matter.

'What if he doesn't return my feelings…?' he thought to himself doubtfully.

'Well I guess he has the right to know the truth!'

"R-Ryou?" he stammered nervously.

Ryou could feel the unshed tears burning in his eyes, demanding to be let free as he gazed up at Bakura. He admitted to himself a long time ago that he was in love with Bakura, and always hoped that Bakura would feel the same. And now after all this time of hiding this secret away from Bakura he knew that he must tell him, because soon, very soon he was going to die…on this stone floor, in front of Bakura. He made up his mind. 'I'll tell Bakura now! What have I got to lose? He's most likely to reject me anyway, and if that be the case, it won't matter because I'm about to die.' He thought triumphantly. ' he has to know the truth, and now would be as good a time as any.'

"B-Bakura?…I-I need t…" he was stopped in mid sentence by Bakura's warm finger upon his ice cold lips.

"Shh, save your strength". He purred softly, gazing deeper into Ryou's chocolate eyes searching for answers.

"Ryou, I do care." He said just above a whisper, averting his gaze from Ryou's eyes, to his finger that was still resting upon Ryou's lips. He slowly made it trail along Ryou's bottom lip softly before darting his eye's back to Ryou's.

he now plucked up the courage to admit his feeling to Ryou.

"Ryou?" he said softly.

"I love y…" He was stopped suddenly, as he felt a hand grab his shoulder painfully. He growled loudly baring his teeth. He was then pulled backwards and slammed forcefully into the stone wall behind him.

He had his eyes squeezed tightly shut, as he felt the pain from his head colliding with the wall; after being punched hard square in the nose.

Warm crimson sticky blood slowly streamed down from his left nostril, the sharp, salty taste slipped into his mouth through his slightly parted lips.

Ryou could only lay there on the floor staring up in horror and confusion. Was he about to say he loves 'me'?

He felt his stomach form into a painfully tight knot. Partially out of curiosity and hope, but mainly because of guilt. If it was true that Bakura was about to admit that he was in love with him, he felt guilty because he's about to die which could leave Bakura heart broken.

He was suddenly knocked back from his dream world due to a reasonably large foot ram with great force straight into his chest, followed by high pitched laughter, and Bakura yelling something in-coherent to my attacker.

I struggled to suck the air into my burning lungs, finally I managed to suck in greedy amounts of air until my breathing slowly turned back into a steady motion.

When I opened my eyes I looked up to find that my attacker was unsurprisingly pharaoh Atemu, I looked around to find Bakura was chained to the wall opposite me.

"isn't this precious?" Atemu said in a slightly more high pitched tone than normal. He was obviously biting back laughter, it was in his eyes.

"The tomb robbers are in love…" He deliberately left the word love linger in the air for a few seconds before coiling over laughing uncontrollably.

Both Ryou's and Bakura's eyes widened in pure disbelief. They then turned their attention from the now gasping for air pharaoh to each other.

"I-is that t-true?" Bakura asked in astonishment and hopefulness.

Ryou felt a large blush creep across his pale features; he reluctantly tore his eyes away from Bakura's and stared blankly at the wall.

There was a few moments silence, and then Ryou refocused his attention on Bakura. "Y-yes…Bakura it's true… I-I l-love you."

Pharaoh Atemu, who had just recovered, fell back down on the floor violently laughing and choking for air.

Neither Bakura or Ryou seemed to notice the Pharaoh, they were in their own little world.

"Ryou?" Bakura asked softly.

"I-I love you too." He said softly smiling sheepishly.

Ryou's eyes widened slightly before he smiled faintly.

"I've always loved you…" They both said in unison, causing them to both blush furiously.

They were torn away from their little world by the sound of Pharaoh Atemu clapping loudly.

He slowly approached to where Ryou was sprawled.

"well, well, well,… any last words?" he asked with an evil smirk across his face.

Bakura's eyes widened. No-no-no, he can't mean?… Oh my god he's going to kill Ryou! He can't.

"W-what d-do you mean… a-any last words?" Bakura stuttered a lot, worry written all over his face.

"I mean I'm going to kill him. You useless gay imbecile!" Atemu said with annoyance present over his features.

Bakura felt so helpless. He was chained tightly to the wall, the metal cutting into his wrists as he struggled to break free. Causing the blood to trickle down his hand and carelessly drip down on the cold floor making a small plopping sound.

The sound of breaking bones and an ear piercing scream snap him out of his daze. He looked across the floor to see Ryou clutching his ribs curled up into a tight ball, his eyes clenched tightly closed a few tears streaming down his bright red cheek. His whole body was shaking violently, trying not to scream again knowing that if he did more pain would be inflicted on his now sensitive body.

Bakura felt so guilty, there was nothing he could do to help 'his' Ryou. He couldn't stop the Pharaoh who was now beating Ryou with the heavy chains once again, causing bruises to form instantly. Ryou's body was slowly becoming limb due to blood loss and pain.

The pharaoh abruptly stopped and stepped back making him look like he was admiring his work. Causing more anger to fill Bakura, his eyes gradually turning a hard evil look, and the softness that was once there slowly disappearing.

Then the pharaoh clicked his fingers twice with an evil smirk plastered over his smug face.

A tall big built guard, who had a large rusty dagger gripped in his large hand slowly staggered over to where the pharaoh was.

The guard broke the silence with his gruff voice. "which one master Atemu?" he then bowed respectfully to the pharaoh.

"the pathetic little thing sprawled across my floor!" He pointed at Ryou screwing up his nose in disgust at the thought of Ryou staying there any longer.

The heavy looking guard stumbled over to Ryou and forced him up into a kneeling position by his fair hair.

Ryou cried desperately in pain, trying as hard as he could to pry the guard's strong grip from his hair. The guard held the rusty dagger to his smooth pearly throat, causing him to open his eyes wide in horror, meeting Bakura's identical gaze.

Bakura was speechless; he just didn't know what to do. He suddenly realized that Ryou's innocent life was about to end, and he could do nothing but struggle with the chains and watch.

His terrified eyes turned into fire when he looked at Atemu's smug face. He knew he could do absolutely nothing to save Ryou. So instead he would somehow get revenge on Atemu himself.

Atemu saw Bakura glaring daggers at him, so he sent him a triumphant smirk then turned back to Ryou.

"Any last words?" Trying desperately not to coil over in laughter. For some reason killing innocent people was an addictive fetish of his that he got some kind of gruesome pleasure out of.

At Atemu's words the rusty knife tightened against Ryou's neck, cutting it slightly causing small droplets to form around the bladed and freshly wounded flesh.

Ryou focused his hazy eyes on Bakura.

"I will love you forever Bakura, and I promise you one day we'll meet again." He smiled slightly as he felt the cool metal of the blade sink into his flesh forcefully. And everything fell into darkness; the last thing Ryou heard was Bakura's shrill cries of his name, and Atemu's ear splitting laughter.

"RYOUUUUU!" Bakura cried one last time, tears running freely down his cheeks and off his chin, making small droplets on the floor under him.

"How could you… you, you sick bastard!" He sobbed. "I'll get you for this! You'll never get away with what you've done!" He promised Atemu!
