CHAP 9: Under The Rain
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Before Ryou was going to leave he thought that he should at least tell the ones that brought him here. Ryou walked over and said that he was going home. "Are you sure that we can't give you a lift?" Anzu asked, it would be a bit of a walk.
"I'll be fine, I'll see you later" with that Ryou left the club but unknowing to Ryou he was being followed. The rain came down hard and made it difficult to see through. He walked down the street as that feeling of being followed or watched and the paranoid feeling that you get with it fell over him, the kind you get when your out on your own, he quickened his pace as he wasn't that far from home.
He stopped and turned around, the streetlight was moving about as if something heavy was on it then jumped off. Ryou shook his head and started to walk again. His eyes widened as a shadow past over him, he started to run knowing it wasn't his paranoia. He knew what things lurked in the shadows of this world but the question was, which ones was it that was hunting him? But he ran into something warm and solid and fell backwards landing hard on his rear.
He was grabbed and thrown into the alleyway hitting the ground hard and he cried out. Why did this always have to happen? But to make things worse he was on his own. He was picked up and pinned to the wall. He wasn't going to let this happen a second time, he grabbed the guy and kneed him were no one should be, the guy fell to the ground. Ryou ran back to the entrance of the alleyway but stopped as his eyes widened and fear hitched his breath to a stop, cold laughter rang out and a second figure was standing in front of him that he hadn't seen until now.
"No!" he gasped as he turned on his heels and ran the other way, he looked back toward the entrance of the alleyway but it was empty and there was no way he was going to stop now and ask why? He turned back around forgetting about the first guy he came across as he was knocked to the ground yet once again, shortly after falling he was then pulled up to his feet, his wet died hair stuck to his face.
Ryou narrowed his eyes as he noticed that the figures were the guys from the club that he had been dancing with, it now dawned on him that they were not human and were either vampires or demons, just then an overwhelming feeling ran through him as they laughed, it was as if it was a joke to them to scare the wits out of their victims before killing them.
Ryou slapped the one with the black mask as hard as he could across the face. He smirked at Ryou, as he did this Ryou was grabbed by the arms and pushed up against the one with the red mask. Ryou was paralyzed by fear, he had a good idea of what they were going to do.
He could see the blood lust in their eyes as they glowed crimson from the hunger on this rainy night, "let me go!" he struggled. He got his arm free then he stomped on the guy's foot behind him, he turned as the guy was now hopping around holding his foot and cursing, seeing he was off guard Ryou took this opportunity and pushed him over.
He was grabbed and pulled back by the collar of his shirt, he turned and kicked the guy in the shin and sent him hopping around as well, Ryou didn't care that these were demons they had sensitive spots as every one else did.
"You little bitch!" the one in the purple mask hissed as he grabbed Ryou's arm, Ryou grabbed the arm that had grabbed him.
"See how you like it!" he bit down hard on the others arm and he yelped in pain. He slapped Ryou off and he landed on the floor. He got up and ran as fast as he could, home wasn't that far if only he could make it, he didn't think that he could keep this up for long and he knew the he would lose in the end if he lingered.
The rain muffled everything around him, he was running so fast that he was pushed into a wall and hit his head hard, he cried out as he fell on the ground holding his forehead in his hand while blood ran down his face. He was grabbed by the one in the red mask and dragged into another alleyway by the ankle.
"You are going to pay for what you have done," he snarled, Ryou whimpered as he struggled to get free.
"LET ME GO!" Ryou screamed as he kicked him in back of the knee, if Ryou was going to go down then he would go down fighting. The guy fell to the ground hard and Ryou got up, not looking where he was going he ran right into the one with the purple mask. Ryou's eyes widened as a fist came and hit him in the jaw, then his feet were swept out from under him, he landed on his back and cried out as the wind was knocked out of him. He was pulled up roughly by the one in the purple mask and slapped a few more times across the face. Ryou collapsed onto the floor and his mask fell off his face, that was it he had nothing left in him to keep fighting as he choked on a sob.
Then it hit him Bakura, Marik and Malik fed at this time of night, he could call out loud enough and maybe they would hear him and come. He was pulled up again with his hair covering some of his face he was panting as they surround him. "You bastards," Ryou spat at them only to have his face slapped yet again.
"You have caused so much trouble," the one in the red mask growled.
"Go to hell," Ryou attempted to punch him in the stomach but he just smirked catching Ryou's hand and giving it a twist as he let it go. Ryou was hit again and they had to hold him up. He took a deep breath as they were about to bite down on him, "BAKURA, HELP!" He screamed out to the open night sky with his last bit of energy, as lighting and thunder ripped through it lit up the alleyway, the three stopped frozen as they looked at the victim in their grasp and Ryou was dropped to the ground.
The rain mixed with his tears and blood as he sobbed on the wet ground and waited for them to continue with what they were doing. "Ryou?" Bakura pulled off his red mask, as did Marik taking off his black one and Malik his purple mask.
Ryou looked up and choked on a sob it was them that had beaten him and scared him half to death, he didn't know if he should be happy or frightened. "It was you?" he gasped not believing his eyes. Malik fell to his knees next to Ryou and patted his hair lovingly. Ryou flinched and Malik's heart fell into his stomach like a rock as tears welled up in his eyes, he could not believe that he had hurt Ryou like that.
"Ry we didn't know that it was you, we would never have done that to you, ever," Malik said as he ran his hand over Ryou's cheek, he had slapped it a few times and there were bruises there now, Bakura knelt down as well.
"Well you did, is this what you do? You frighten them half to death first, then beat them before you feed," Ryou shakily got up, Malik helping him but only to be pushed away by Ryou.
"Koi, we" Marik was cut off.
"Don't call me that! I'm going home and…. and… just don't follow me," Ryou slowly walked away his head spun 'not now' Ryou closed his eyes, he was grabbed by the arm.
"Ryou please, let me take you to Seto and have him heal you," Bakura looked down at him, the guilt was there and he was kicking himself for not knowing that it was Ryou, he would have been able to smell Ryou if it wasn't for the rain.
"I'm not apart of your world anymore," Ryou's tears fell mixing with the rain and blood.
"Yes you are whether you like it or not, please Ry come home with us," Bakura wiped the hair out of Ryou's eyes, if it wasn't for Bakura holding Ryou up he would have collapsed.
"I'm not obedient enough to be able to," he looked at Marik 'it hurts' he closed his eyes and then opened thembut didn't let the pain show. Funny enough that it wasn't what they had done to Ryou this night, but the argument that they had had at the house a while back that hurt the most. As for the feeding thing that they were about to do he didn't mind, they were only doing what they needed to survive.
"Ryou what I said, was said out of anger, I would never hurt you like that again," Marik walked up to him and caressed his cheek with his hand, his thumb ran over his lips.
Ryou moved away, "What most say in an argument is what they are truly feeling, whether you want to believe it or not, but it's true," Ryou bowed his head. Malik threw his arms around Ryou and buried his face into Ryou's neck.
"Ry, please I miss you, come back with us, its not the same without you and I miss you so much, we all do," Malik sobbed brokenly into his neck
"Sorry… I..I..I can't," Ryou choked back a sob, there was no denying it, he still loved them and they were the hardest words that he had ever said. He moved away from Malik and Bakura wrapped his arms around him to hold him up, Ryou frowned he wanted to be in those arms as well, to feel safe and warm again in this cold world.
"So is this it then?" Marik closed his eyes hoping that he would hear what he wanted.
"Yes," Ryou whispered as he turned and walked away, the pain had past but is body felt the pain from the fight, Bakura and Marik gasped as Malik fell limp in Bakura's arms, his body was jerking with the heartbroken sobs at the words that seemed to echo louder than anything else around them.

Ryou woke up a few days later and sat up looking around, he frowned as he got up as he had been in bed for the few days and he was just so tired lately, he was sick from being in the rain the other night and it left him with a fever, also feeling like shit. He got up and walked into the bathroom and looked into the mirror.
The bruises and cuts were slowly going away and he didn't look half as bad. Bakura, Marik and Malik's faces flashed through his mind, "Am I making a mistake?" Ryou sighed as if he was waiting for the room to answer him, but knew that one would never come. He showered and changed then walked out and climbed back into bed, not before to long he had fallen back asleep.
Ryou got up later that night and sat in the living room. He jumped as a crash of thunder boomed and then there was a downpour of rain. He curled up in a ball and he jumped again as there was another crash of thunder.
Ryou paled as he got off the couch and slowly walked to the sliding glass doors that led out to the small balcony. He yelped as the power went out, 'oh great,' Ryou bit his lip, he never liked the dark or storms. A flash of lightning ripped through the sky along with a crash of thunder and it lit up the area, there was a figure perched on the railing. Ryou yelped again and jumped back in fright, but the figure was gone by the time that Ryou ran back to the window. He knew who it was and he opened the door and stepped outside. "MARIK!" Ryou yelled through the rain. "COME BACK!" he looked around but Marik was nowhere to be seen, "I'm sorry," Ryou whispered, the wind blew the words away and they were drowned out by the rain.
He turned to go back inside but Marik was standing there in the doorway looking at him, all that Ryou could come up with was "Why are you here?" the rain still didn't let up and Ryou's hair was sticking to his face.
"I was just making sure that your alright and safe" he shrugged as if it were nothing, but on the inside he was mentally kicking himself for being seen.
"Oh… would you like to come in and warm up?" Ryou shivered the nights were now getting cold.
"I don't want to intrude… I shouldn't be here." Marik said as if he was talking to someone he had just met and walked past Ryou, who grabbed his arm.
"Please…even if it's just for a while," Marik looked down knowing Ryou hated storms, Ryou blushed and let go of his arm.
"Just for a while" Marik said, Ryou nodded and walked inside and Marik followed, the warmth of the apartment hit his cold skin not that he felt the cold much. Ryou ran off and came back with a towel and handed it to Marik. "Sorry I don't have any clothes that will fit you," he moved around and set out some candles around the room, Ryou's blush was even redder.
Marik raised his eyebrow as he took of his wet jacket and shirt "So you're staying here in this place?" Marik asked holding onto the wet clothes.
"It is mine now after all," he openly stared at Marik's well-toned body and a shiver ran through him.
"I didn't think that you would come back here!" he had an amused look as he took a step towards Ryou.
"Not that I had a choice in the matter… you can have a shower if you like and I'll hang these up for you," Ryou shook his head went to walk out of the room but Marik smirked as he grabbed Ryou by the arm and pulled him close.
"Yes you did… why don't you have one with me, your wet and cold and you have been sick" Marik purred and ran his hand up Ryou's arm.
"I'll go and fix these up for you" Marik pouted as Ryou stepped away.
"It's your loss" he walked off to the bathroom, "But you can join me anytime you feel like it" he winked seductively as he closed the bathroom door, Ryou bit his lip he really wanted to. He shivered from being cold as he walked out of the room to fix the wet clothes. After a while he came back and Marik was sitting on the couch with just a towel wrapped around his waist.
"I'll just go and get dried," Ryou yet again was red enough to rival a tomato. Marik smirked as Ryou wasn't sure on what to do, he turned and walked into the bedroom where he took off his wet clothes and put on a pair of slacks. He turned to leave and once again Marik was standing there with a look that Ryou couldn't place.
"Ry… about what happened… I didn't mean to, I was worried that you could have been hurt…. really hurt" he leant on the doorframe.
"If you came here to argue then I'm not really up to it" Ryou sat on the bed.
"No I haven't and I didn't plan on you seeing me," Marik was now looking at the floor.
"Oh… well… then I guess you'll want to go back home now to Bakura and Malik." Ryou looked up as Marik pushed him back on the bed and hovered over him on all fours, his bangs fell over Ryou's forehead.
"What I want, is for you to come back home with me, Bakura and Malik miss you," Marik caressed Ryou's cheek. "And I know that you miss them as well, and me,"
Ryou looked up and frowned, "what would you know" Marik cut him off.
"I know that you are beautiful," Marik said suddenly, Ryou could do nothing but listen. "Beautiful brown eyes that are always full of emotions that others lack to see, but me I know what your feeling all the time when I look at you. I know that you like the rain but hate the thunder and lightning, I know that you love the night sky but can't stand it when it's cloudy, they block the stars and moon you so love to look at, I know that your hair, has a small tint of lavender in it that sets it apart from the white of your skin" Ryou's hardened gaze had softened as he gazed up at Marik. He was enthralled by Marik's words. "And your hair, a strange color indeed, only reminds me of the moon like Bakura's." Marik entwined his fingers in the white locks a weary smile was now on his face, "I know more about you than you think, I love each of you for the differences that you each have and lack of the other makes up for," he leant in closer to Ryou.
"Marik I" Ryou was at a loss for words, Marik unfolded his wings and wrapped them around them, Ryou gasped as the feathers brushed his skin and the warmth, Yami had told him that it was one of the most affectionate ways a demon could show there love for another.
"I'm not after a slave, I'm after my love that walked out on me, to fill the empty spot that you have left within me and for you to take my apology… I never meant to hurt you…. even though you aren't my mate, I still love you just the same as the other two" with that he claimed Ryou's lips, Ryou moaned softly as he ran his fingers through Marik's hair pulling him closer, their bodies were now flush up against each other.
The need for air came and they separated with their noses still touching, "I love you and I forgive you" Ryou leant up and kissed Marik on the cheek, he broke out into a rare smile. Ryou was forgiving by nature and Marik couldn't be happier.
"Will you come home?" Marik looked down at him.
"Yes" with that Marik started to lick and bite Ryou's neck, "Marik will you stay tonight?" Ryou gasped as Marik ran his hand up his thigh brushing over his length lightly then moved up to Ryou's chest.
"Of course my tenshi" he purred like a cat and Ryou giggled, he loved the sounds that they made when they were happy. Marik kissed his way down Ryou's neck as his hands ran over his sides and down to his pants, he tugged them and he discarded them onto the floor, Ryou pulled off his towel and dropped it on the floor.
Ryou gasped as Marik took him into his mouth slowly moving up and down on his member as he entered his fingers one by one into Ryou gently pulsing them in and out. Ryou closed his eyes tightly as Marik leant up and entered him careful not to enter him to quick. Ryou cried out as tears fell. Marik frowned not moving he leant down and kissed them away. "Shh ... Its just me Ry," Ryou opened his eyes.
"I.I … and they… Marik" Ryou choked back a sob, Marik leant up and smiled at him and he knew that it would be hard for Ryou.
"Shh… it's okay just keep looking at me, I promise that I won't hurt you," Marik had a few tears run down his cheek, what had they done to his Ryou in that locker room? They were going to get it and he would make them pay. Ryou then nodded his head, giving Marik a reassuring smile as he wiped Marik's tears away, Ryou moved his hips to show that he was alright and it was okay for Marik to continue.The sound of the rain falling was soon joined with grunts and groans of pleasure coming from the two in the room it rang out into the night.

The doorbell rang, rang and rang again, Seto growled as he lifted is head. The doorbell rang out through the house, it rang a few more times and Seto growled again as it really annoyed him to no end. "I swear that Yami has to get a maid or a butler, I just might bring that up next meeting we have" Seto got up off the bed and walked over to the door, Joey starts to laugh.
"Seto?" He leans over the bed and picks something up and throws it at Seto hitting him in the face, "You'll find that these will help you" Joey lay back down on the bed. Seto smirked as he pulled on his pants and walked out of the room.
His bare feet patted softly on the tiled floor, he looked into the lounge room on his way past, Bakura and Malik were sitting in the room talking. Seto opened the door to see a short boy with short green hair, overly large glasses, and a funning green outfit on.
"I wish to see Yami," he asked in the most annoying voice that the other world had the privilege to know.
"He's busy as was I, state what you want and leave," Seto frowned in annoyance.
"Well I must have interrupted something important then, if the great Kaiba is annoyed with me," he pushed his glasses up to his eyes.
"Look Weevil, I'm not in the mood for this," he glared at the hobgoblin.
"Would that be with your new mutt?" He snickered. Seto snapped as he grabbed him by the collar of his shirt pulling him up to eye level, his feet dangled in the air.
"Seto put him down," Joey said as he walked up to them. He growled and dropped Weevil on the ground as he turned and looked at Joey "get Yami now!" Seto said coldly, Joey glared as he turned and left to get Yami. A few minutes later Yami and Yugi walked into the front hallway.
"My lord" Weevil got down on his hands and knees and crawled over to Yami stopping at his feet, Yami sneered in disgust and kicked him away. Yugi was shocked that someone would do that, but then again Yami was a their leader.
Yami saw this, "Yugi leave now" Yami commanded, he didn't want Yugi to see this. Yugi looked hurt, Yami had never talked to him like that before, Weevil looked at him with a grin planted on his face. "Now Yugi!" Yami snapped at him. Yugi jumped back a bit as he turned and ran out of the hall with tears in his eyes.
"What do you want?" Yami sighed as he watched Yugi. He would have to make it up to him later, he hadn't meant to sound so harsh.
"In the kitchen worm," Seto said as he picked up weevil by the back of his shirt and dragged him in there. They walked through the door, Seto threw Weevil on the ground and sat down at the table with Yami.
"Where are the others?" he got up of the ground, just as he had said that Malik and Bakura walked in, Bakura growled at Weevil on his way past holding Malik's hand.
"There!" Yami said.
"Where's lord Marik" it was common for lower level creatures to call everyone above them by title.
"Out" Bakura hissed, he hadn't seen Marik since last night and was worried if he had gotten into some kind of trouble, Weevil smirked.
"Trouble in paradise?" he said smugly, Bakura lunged and he would have made Weevil pay if it wasn't for Seto stopping him.
"Just get to it, before I feed you to an Orc," Seto growled at him.
"Fine, the meeting has been moved to this week." Weevil dusted off his outfit.
"Wait they gave us an extension, due to some difficulties that we are having at the moment" Yami ran his hands through his hair.
"This week, or they come here and they know of the werewolf clan in town, but just so you know they have left already," Weevil put his hands on his hips.
"I think that your master will hear of this, I'm sure that he will be impressed with you talking back to a lord," Seto said as he was looking at his fingernails.
"NO! The council will not wait they are getting impatient with you," Weevil said as he waves his hands in protest.
"Tell them, that we'll be there as soon as we can," Yami said as he got up from his chair.
"You do know that it's the biggest gathering ever and everyone has to be there at the same time?" he looked at the ground "the council is not happy that they had to hold it off for this long".
"Why are they calling everyone?" Seto looked up from his hand.
"I'm not at liberty to say," an evil smirk played across his face.
"Or are you telling us this so you can spy on us?" Yami raised an eyebrow at him, which also wasn't uncommon for a lower demon to spy on other clans, to get in the good books with the council.
"NO! They're sending me and Rex to every clan there is and to give them the same message, one week," Weevil said, but Yami knew Weevil to be cunning.
"Fine then tell the council that we will be there," Yami got up and left the room in search of Yugi.
"My lord, if it's alright with you, may I stay the night and leave in the morning?" Weevil asked politely. Yami walked out of the room without a word.
"Get out!" Seto barked, Weevil flinched, he bowed and vanished out of the room. Seto too, left the room to find Joey.
Yami found Yugi in the lounge room, he was curled up on the couch and he ran a hand through his hair as he walked over and sat down next to him.
"Yugi I'm sorry for how I spoke to you," Yami looked away. Yugi didn't answer him, "that guy Weevil works for the council I didn't won't him to get a really good look at you, he is dangerous, I was only trying to protect you," Yami looked over at him, it was the half truth.
"You have never talked to me like that before," Yugi lifted his head.
"I know and I'm sorry Yugi," Yami was at the point were he would beg for Yugi's forgiveness. But Yami didn't have to as Yugi smiled and he threw his arms around Yami's neck and kissed him passionately, Yami knew that there was more to come a lot more.
