CHAP 18: Marik's Punishment


Malik sat on the bed holding Ryou in his arms, Marik walked in followed by Bakura, Marik slumped in the chair in the corner near the window. Bakura leant on the closed door, "Malik" Bakura motioned for him, Malik let go of Ryou and got up off the bed Bakura opened the door and walked out leaving the two alone.

Ryou looked up at Marik from the bed who had that same dark look and with that Ryou thought that his mood would snap at any given movement if provoked, but it was his hand that got Ryou's attention he frowned as he got off the bed slowly and walked into the bathroom to the cabinet and pulled out the first aid kit then walked back into the room, he walked over to Marik and knelt down on the floor in front of him. Marik stared out of the window in thought, as Ryou rummaged through the small box and pulled out what he was looking for then took Marik's hand gently and started to clean it.

"You don't have to be so angry at what happened." Ryou whispered, he was still shaking at what happened, even though he wasn't hurt it did frighten him. Marik shifted his glare down at Ryou he was still angry. Ryou could feel his eyes on him he kept his head down as he worked, his hair hiding half of his face.

"What I do is none of your," Marik stopped himself he took a deep breath to calm himself as he would be getting angry at the wrong person and the stress of being here was now getting to him and the last thing that he needed was Ryou getting more upset.

"I know it's not, not here anyway, but Bakura is more upset than me right now," Ryou breathed, it was as if it blew in with the wind from a distance not wanting to make Marik anymore angry than he already was, the wounds were starting to heal all ready.

"You are to be confined to this room or mine, you are not to go anywhere without Bakura or I, not even Malik for the reminder of the time we are here, you have caused enough trouble." Marik growled warningly at him as he narrowed his eyes they glowed. Ryou stopped his hands for a second but then continued to wipe away the last of the blood on Marik's hand Ryou felt the burn of the tears in his eyes as he bowed his head even lower and his heart sank.

Malik was going to take him and read him the hieroglyphs at the palace. "Yes master," Ryou whispered, Marik snorted coldly as he got up out of the chair his cape brushed over Ryou's face, he walked away leaving his young love on the floor but he stopped at the door not turning around at all he just spoke over his shoulder.

"You'll still be punished not by Bakura, but me." Ryou looked up shocked as the door slammed shut shaking the room with the force. Ryou got up and ran to the door and he pulled on the handle but it didn't open.

"Master?" Ryou pulled harder he pulled his hands away and pounded on the door as a light filled the room. "Marik's shield" Ryou moved away as the room was now sealed "Marik" he sighed as the tears fell he leant his back on the door, what punishment did he have in mind for him?

Marik had stopped all slaves from going into the room and if they did they were watched while they dropped off food for him, he had also told Yami that Ryou had been punished, as the night came Ryou ran a bath and relaxed while reading an old book that he had brought along with him. The night wore on he lay on the bed wondering when Bakura would be joining him. Before he new it the door opened as the slave girl that had knocked him into that room and started the trouble placed the food down on the nightstand.

Ryou frowned at her as she just smirked smugly at him, "I guess that I was wrong about your master loving you," she laughed as she left the room. Ryou rolled back over and hugged his pillow as his tears fell on it. Later that day Marik waited outside the door as a different slave took Ryou his lunch, Ryou jumped off the bed as the shield was let down and the slave entered the room, he put the food down and picked up the untouched food from that morning.

The slave left the room Ryou ran at the door and pulled on it, "Marik!" he stopped and he leant his forehead on the door, "please Marik I miss you, I'm sorry," Ryou started to sob at the door and wondered if they had abandoned him. Marik put his hand on the door knob he could hear his cries from the other side of the door and his heart sank deeper into his chest to hear that his love was so upset, he growled in frustration as he pulled his hand away and wiped them on his pants he turned on his heels and left.

Marik once again stood at the door it had been three days already, Malik and Bakura had taken it a little hard at first but they had agreed that this was the best for him and the council seemed to be okay with it according to Yami. The slave came out again with the untouched food, "I'm sorry my lord but he has stopped eating," he then continued on his way, Marik ran a had through his hair wondering if this was the best thing for Ryou.

Ryou growled as he picked up the tray and threw it at the door after the slave, it just missed Marik he cocked an eyebrow at it on the floor then at Ryou. Ryou took a step back and bit his lip, "sorry," he mumbled looking away.

"Why aren't you eating?" Marik walked into the room more.

"I'm not hungry," Ryou growled as he turned around his back facing Marik.

"Would you like to go out for the day… with me?" Marik leant his back on the bedpost crossing his arms over his chest, Ryou looked at him over his shoulder, his heart jumped into his throat that Marik wanted to spend time with him.

"Are you letting me out?" Ryou looked away again, he jumped a little as arms wrapped around him and caressed his chest and neck.

"No, I still want you to be confined to the bedrooms, we have a few enemies that would like to get a little payback on us, plus the council," Marik turned him around in his arms "I just don't want to see you hurt," he purred as he nuzzled Ryou's neck affectionately, but unknowing to Marik Ryou had given in to him, "I know that I have been hard on you and I'd like to make it up to you," Marik placed small kisses along his neck, "I have some where to take you after as a surprise," Marik smirked wickedly.

"Really?" Ryou smiled as he leant into the touch moaning softly.

"Yes, so go shower and get ready," Marik gave him a light push towards the bathroom door knocking him out of his daze. "I have to get a few things and I'll be back to get you," Marik kissed him on the lips as he walked out giving a small wave of the hand and the shield was back Ryou sighed as he walked into the bathroom.

Ryou stepped into the shower and let the warm water run over his body, but he was pushed up against the cold tiles of the shower, Ryou gasped and struggled "Hello my adorable mate" he stopped his struggling.

"Bakura?" he turned Ryou around.

"I needed a shower," Bakura chuckled as he kissed Ryou on the cheek, "but I can think of something better to do," he said seductively into Ryou's ear, a shiver ran down his body. He gasped as Bakura took his partially erect member into his mouth, Ryou's legs weakened instantly on him, he didn't even see Bakura doing it. But Bakura seemed to support him up and prevent him from collapsing, before Ryou reached the point of no return Bakura stopped, he licked and bit his way back up to Ryou's mouth.

Bakura looked around and found what he was looking for keeping his left had on Ryou's hip he grabbed the small bottle, he smirked mischievously as Ryou was ready at the touch, he soon entered a finger into Ryou, who gasped and bucked his hips into the touch he soon had all three and it was heated and passionate in the need to feel the others skin on skin, he removed his fingers and positioned himself as to thrust into him supporting him up against the tiled wall. Both gasped, but to Ryou it didn't matter how many times he had been taken there was always a pain before the pleasure. Ryou's groans matched that of Bakura's their hips met every time. Ryou dug his fingers in his back as the thrusts were quickened, it wasn't long before their cries rang out as they released simultaneously.

Panting Bakura smirked as his limbs were shaking with the strain to keep them up, as he knelt he fell to the bottom of the shower taking Ryou with him. He looked down at a flushed Ryou, eyes half lidded as they came off the high they lay there, Ryou ran his fingers up and down Bakura's back, "How about that shower?" Bakura chuckled as Ryou groaned.

It wasn't long before Bakura had gotten Ryou onto his feet and washed, they both soon stepped out of the shower and dried off then got dressed, they both stepped out of the room just as the door was opened, "Bakura?" Marik frowned, "I thought my shield was broken," only his lovers could walk through it he smirked as he kissed Bakura then Ryou. "Now my tenshi, shall we go?" Marik asked, Ryou nodded he kissed Bakura passionately before he walked to the door taking Marik's hand as they walked out into the hall, Malik was there waiting. Ryou let go of Marik's hand and walked up to Malik. Ryou kissed him on the lips.

"I'll see you both later," Malik winked as he walked up to Marik and kissed him on the cheek before walking into the bedroom. Marik and Ryou soon stood outside the castle as that creepy carriage pulled up again. Marik helped Ryou in and got in himself, soon they came to the tavern and walked through coming out on the human's side both walked up to the man with the buggies and drove off to the palace, Marik lead Ryou through to the center of the place.

Marik lead Ryou as he studied the wall running his hand along it, "Here it is" Marik smirked as he started to read it he himself had never before seen it, he just knew about it. Marik read off the wall and Ryou listened with interest. "Surrounded by fifteen guards then all of a sudden they are looking all around themselves in the darkness," Marik smirked as Ryou gasped his eyes wide, "Bakura had vanished in the midst of the fight, but a call comes from the top of the tomb," Marik lent in for suspense, "he calls out at the top of his voice, you pathetic mortals I'm the thief king, all of Egypt will fear me and know my name, with that he vanished again with all the gold," Marik chuckled as Ryou let out a breath.

"What did you think that something happened to him?" Marik raised an eyebrow as he lent his back on the pillar, Marik had read half the wall and one part Marik had to tell Ryou that short story.

"No, he just told me that he was caught once and that I was with him, well my past me anyway," Ryou looked over the wall.

"He was, he didn't fight back because you were with him, if he had of gotten away they would have found you and taken you instead." Ryou nodded they had stopped for a bit and had something to eat, Ryou leant with his back against Marik's chest as they talked more of the past.

"You really gave the pharaoh a hard time," Ryou chuckled as he looked at Marik upside down.

"We had to live and take care of you," Marik frowned as he looked around a feeling of being watched came over him.

"Now I know why Bakura likes to steal," Ryou sighed as he didn't notice the emotionless mask that Marik had on. "Ahh my legs going numb," Ryou got up and stretched Marik had his eyes narrowed dangerously as they scanned over what he could see of the room, Ryou looked down with his arms above his head he followed Marik's hard gaze to the other side of the room not that he could see by the pillars in the way, but how Marik was staring it was as if he could see through them.

Marik knew that there was something here in the room with them he could feel it, he jumped to his feet and pinned Ryou to the pillar with his hand over his mouth, "Shhh" Ryou nodded his head as he looked around, his eyes widened Marik's sharp gaze snapped to his as the hair on the back of his neck stood up, he turned around.

Marik pulled out a knife and held it at his side, "What is it?" Ryou whispered but stayed where he was, Marik waved a hand for him to be quite, he walked around one of the pillars out of Ryou's sight.

Ryou looked around from where he was, he wasn't going to wander off if he snuck up on Marik, Ryou rolled his eyes he had learnt that a while ago though he ended up getting one of Marik's lessons.

"The room seems empty," Ryou jumped as Marik had put a hand on his shoulder, but Marik seemed not to be convinced at all. He growled and Ryou gave him a funny look.

"What's wrong?" Ryou gave him a concerned look.

"I just feel that there is something wrong, something watching us" the feeling had past just as sudden as it had come.

"We can go back, if you like?"

"No, I'm just a little on edge," Marik sighed as he straightened himself up. "Come on, we're here to have fun," Marik pushed Ryou up against the pillar and started to kiss down his neck as the feeling of being watched had past.

"H-here Marik I don't think that i-its…umm Marik… it's a good," Marik by that time was on his knees and had lifted up his shirt and was licking and grazing his long fangs over Ryou's toned stomach.

"A good idea...yes it is" Marik mumbled against his skin, but then ran his hand up his side making him squirm, Ryou managed to get away from Marik's hold and ran off into the many rows of pillars, Marik's smirk become mischievously as his eyes scanned the great room.

"You'll have to catch me first," Ryou's voice echoed all around Marik.

"This will be fun," he was amused as he started to walk, Ryou bit his lip to stop any sound from escaping as he knew that he had sensitive hearing and would find him easily, he moved to the next pillar, holding in his giggles. As Ryou moved to the next one and walked around it to see if he could spot Marik anywhere, he was no where to be seen or heard Ryou turned back around only to be pinned to the pillar.

"Don't hurt me master," Ryou mocked being scared.

"You should have thought of that before you ran," Marik's smirk grew, "you know I'm one for punishing,"

"Yeah especially Bakura," Ryou bit back a laugh as Marik narrowed his eyes at him, though he was amused, he started to tickle Ryou.
