Marik Ryou fluff not really anything but a glomp and talk. And Ryou Bakura Relationship is going slow. ;-; ((Cries))
Oh and lotsa interesting plot twists. He he.
Sorry it took a while I've been preoccupied with a thing called Shota or Shouta I dunno how you spell it some do it both ways. Anyways so my friend showed me a site with a bunch of pics and some Doujenshi (I spelt that wrong I can just feel it.)and I drooled for a week over those. D: So now I am back and I am updating. Yay.
Ohhh. And the rules and beliefs and everything our my own on vampirism or whatever so no telling me 'But that's so wrong' D:
1- Nope not dead.
When Yami finally did get back it was late in the afternoon three or four maybe he entered the darkening room and found Yugi sitting on the floor working on a difficult puzzle that had taken Yami several days to finish and he was already halfway through.
"Got bored?" He asked startling Yugi into looking up.
"A little." He grinned looking down at the slowly forming picture.
"Hungry?" He asked sitting across from Yugi.
"A little." He said again then blushed when his stomach decided to protest. "Okay I guess more then a little." He giggled.
Yami smiled amused at the child like actions that Yugi portrayed. "Good I have food being prepared so we can eat in a little." He explained Yugi smiled gratefully and went back to the puzzle determined to finish it before dinner. He placed another piece and smiled when another part of the weird picture was added.
"How long have you been working on this?" Yami asked staring at the work.
"Mmm well I saw it on your desk around noon and decided there was nothing better to do so about uh…" He looked at the clock. "3 and a half hours or so…"
"Hmm…" Yami smiled.
"Yami…" A knock was heard at the door.
"Yes…" He called curious to who it could be since he specifically told everyone to leave him alone until 4:30.
The door opened with a click and Yugi looked up to see a tall deeply tanned figure wrapped in robes.
"Shadi did you deliver the message?" Yami asked.
"Yes my Pharaoh." Shadi answered kneeling.
"Good you are relieved until further notice." His smirked unseen by Yugi who watched in curiosity.
"Very well." Shadi said his gaze flickering over to Yugi before he left closing the door.
Yami wiped the smirk off his face before looking over at Yugi's very curious eyes. Yugi simply sighed however and went back to the puzzle knowing it was rude to ask questions.
Jou put down the book just finishing it slightly disturbed by the ending. "I don't think I'll ever touch a computer again." He groaned placing the book back on the shelf. "Now… What to do...?" He asked himself looking around.
Their where several more books he could read, or he could sleep… But he didn't feel like sleeping so with a little discontent in his limited resources he grabbed the next book off the shelf called 'Creature' also by John Saul. (An/ Real as well, but I don't think I am gonna spoil it. ((Recomends as well. ((Shifty eyes)) )) )
He sat back at the edge of the bed and opened the crisp pages up to start on the first paragraph. About halfway through it the feeling of being watched distracted him he looked up and nearly jumped back when he found two dark eyes staring at him his own honey brown eyes widened and he just sat staring back. He thought Seto said he never went inside his room…
"H…Hello…" He finally sputtered his greeting echoing loudly in his own ears.
"I won't touch you…" Mokuba said still watching him from the wall.
"What?" Jous asked confused.
"You're worried I'm gonna touch you…" Mokuba answered in a half cold half childish voice.
". . ." Jou remained silent still scared about being alone. What had Seto said? If he ever found himself alone with him he should run…? But where would he go now…?
"I can't hurt you in big brothers room." He said after minutes of silence.
"Oh…" Jou said slowly, wearily watching him.
"I just wanted to meet you…" He told him smiling which creeped Jou out a little the smile looked… Evil on the kid for some reason.
"Um well… Nice to meet you then…" Jou murmured unsure of what else to say.
"Hmm… Yes nice to meet you too. Hope to meet you in the halls one day." He smirked and disappeared just as fast leaving Jou stiff and shuddering in repressed fear.
Ryou shifted a little bit and held his breath when Bakura groaned and rolled off to the side. He slid a little more over till he was on the other side of the bed when Bakura didn't moved he slipped off and out the door keeping his body flat against the wall as he slowly moved out.
Just as he got to the living room and he was letting out a sigh something screamed and collided with him bringing him to the ground someone's weight pressed firmly against his back.
"Oh… You're not Bakura…" The person said in his ear causing his body to shiver in response.
"N…No I'm n-not…" He said his voice muffled in the carpet.
Marik slipped off and sat with his hands on his knees just staring curiously.
Ryou sat up rubbing his soar wrists that had taken a beating from the ground in his fall.
"Hello Ryou I am Marik it's very nice to meet you under not so hostile circumstances." He greeted smiling the whole time.
"Oh…" Ryou managed to get out wanting to cry.
"Don't worry Bakura's not as bad as he seems…" Marik told him his smile disappearing as he saw the look in the others eyes.
"I…" Ryou started. "Wait not all bad?... He followed and terrorized me for months, I got sick, I couldn't leave the house, I was always paranoid I nearly got raped 6 times and now he took me away to turn me into something that he won't even tell me what it is… Explain to me how he's not that bad." Ryou rambled, his anger rising with each word and his usually calm features boiling with anger.
"Oooh you have spunk." Marik squealed and glomped him to the carpet holding the back of his head so it wouldn't collide with the hard surface.
Ryou's anger diminished almost as fast as it had come and he avoided eye contact a blush across his cheeks. "I'm sorry…" He murmured.
"About what? You have every right to be angry." Marik told him.
"Yeah… But you didn't do anything." Ryou whispered not minding at all, the warm hug still wrapped tightly around his chest.
"I knew about it and didn't stop it." He said trying to rid the guilt from Ryou's eyes. Ryou smiled a sad little smile and nodded the guilt only dimming a small amount.
"Want me to explain what you are?" He asked not letting up on his hold.
"That would be nice…" Ryou said rubbing a tired eye.
"'Kay… You're a vampire." He said cheerfully.
"Great…" Ryou grimaced.
"Ah but you see Vamps aren't what humans make them out to be. Rule number one we don't eat humans… Well not always most break the rules especially Bakura but you're supposed to get your blood from a special distributor… That's about the only rule… ((An/ Cough Yes... I'm lazy.)) Now the sun thing is a major sham yeah it stings the eyes a bit, but if you mostly hunt at night why wouldn't it. The steak thing well a steak through the heart would kill anyone. Holy water tastes good and can't hurt. Crosses well…"
He pulled a silver cross from under his shirt. "Total fabrication as well. Most things can't kill us like disease or being cut but like I said a steak through the heart is a sure way to die because believe it or not though we're living dead you still need blood to move. We can eat food but don't have to though it's a habit here and it tastes better then most blood so we eat a lot. Uh… And that's about all I can think of. Our friend Seto has a library written by real vampires about these things I'll ask him later on if you might borrow one." Malik finished.
Ryou was intrigued no matter how much he hated the situation or found it weird and disturbing there was still that sense of wonder knowing he was gonna learn something not many knew.
"OH! Almost forgot, Immortality; that's true. You do live forever." He yawned while Ryou's eyes widened further.
"Doesn't… That get lonely?" Ryou asked hiding a yawn behind a clenched jaw.
"Well yeah, but I have Malik and Bakura has you… Well not yet anyways, but soon… Believe me it's not hard to love him." Marik smiled softly eyes glazed over with memories.
Ryou remained silent not wanting to upset the small string of friendship he could tell was made with Marik.
"I did the same thing to Malik." Marik muttered a few minutes later interrupting the silence. "He hated me for so long… But then… I don't know he just came around and loved me instead… That was the happiest day of my life… Bakura's been watching you a lot longer then you know… He loved you the moment he set eyes on you and you may not love him back, but at least give him a chance to be your friend." Marik said looking him straight in the eyes.
Ryou nodded and let out a breath when Marik stepped off him. He took the offered hand and followed Marik back down the hall. When he slipped back inside the room Bakura was sitting up his eyes flashed startled that Ryou had come back.
Ryou stood there a few steps inside the door way unsure of what to do.
"So… Why did you come back?" Bakura asked confusion wrapped around his words.
". . . Because. . . Well I have no where else to go. . ." He saw Bakura glare a little and he flinched. "And. . . I had a talk with a boy named Marik and well. . . Even though you scare me. . . I would like to try and be friends first." He said slowly unsure of his own words.
"Marik. . . Hmm…" Bakura grumbled a small smirk playing across his lips. "Well are you gonna stand there all day or are you gonna sleep?"
Ryou scrambled over to the bed and hesitantly slid under the blankets scooting a little close to Bakura before shutting his eyes. He felt Bakura shift and move closer an arm wrapped around his waist and he tensed when nothing else happened he aloud himself a little slack.
"What's with the grin?" Malik asked rolling back over to his side of the bed.
"Oh just remembering stuff." Marik said slipping under the covers and cuddling into Maliks warm embrace.
"Like what?" He asked breathing in the spicy scent of Marik's hair.
"Like when I met you and changed you and you hated me." He yawned.
"Oh. And why would you remember that?" He asked running his fingers through the others hair.
"Mmm Because I met Ryou outside in the hall and we talked…" He answered slowly drifting off at the comfortable feeling.
"Oh okay…" Malik said also falling asleep.
"That can't be right…" Isis said looking over the books once more she came to the same conclusion. "But… This means… Oh dear gods." She ran into the office and locked herself behind the door she picked up the phone and dialed home it range and rang but no one picked up her stomach felt like lead when she finally hung up.
"It's just a coincidence they're out… Or something…" She told herself grabbing her jacket off the coat rack she sprinted toward the door but she never made it darkness so thick it made her senses go wild enveloped her and she fell to the thick carpet eyes closed in silent sleep. ((1))
"Jou wake up." A deep voice called shaking the blond from his nap.
Jou sat up with a start his breath came in a gasp and he looked around frantically before his eyes rested back on Seto relief flooding through his facial features as he fell back exhausted.
"Maybe you should give up the Saul books?" Seto asked looking down at his clutched fingers that held the book in a death grip.
"No It's my only pass time." Jou grumbled his eyes falling closed as fatigue flushed over him.
"Jou it's dinner time now sit up."
"Nnngh." Jou slurred sitting up his eyes blinking heavily he downed the meal that was brought to him and leaned heavily against Seto's chest just wanting to fall back asleep since he felt so at peace, every time he had dozed off his head had been plagued by night mares so he was beyond exhausted.
"Jou it's no fun when you fall asleep on me…" Seto half pouted He would wait until later, but he had been skipping his morning meal till Jou was more used to the situation so he was very hungry and was barely able to keep himself from drinking the pounding life essence shown so boldly before him.
"…Tired…" He whined and Seto sighed before leaning down and giving his grateful kiss, before sinking his teeth into the tender flesh the jolt he expected passed then a sigh and finally a snore. He sat back licking his lips with a smile at the sleeping bundle of warmth.
"Night pup." Seto said barely above a whisper.
". . . Night Seeeto. . ." Jou drawled very deep in sleep already.
With that said Seto left the room and shut out the light carrying the Saul books all 10 of them he owned with him so Jou couldn't read them. He decided to get better books and maybe even a few games for his room so Jou wouldn't be so bored. . . or. . . He could start to bring Jou to work with him. After a while it could be quite satisfactory.
"Are you ready to eat then?" Yami asked looking at the clock and seeing it was about time they went down and ate.
"Oh… Yes…" Yugi said a little disappointed that he had only gotten another quarter of the puzzle done. Yami stood up and Yugi followed suit. As they walked there was only the sound of pattering feet that accompanied them suddenly Yugi blushed just remembering that all he had covering him was boxers and a thin sheet.
"Uh… Yami…" He stuttered staring down at his bare feet as they slapped against the cold floor.
"Yes Yugi." Yami looked down at him quizzically.
"Where are my clothes?" He asked clenching the sheet a little tighter.
"Oh…" Yami chuckled. "One of the servants grabbed them to be washed, I'm sorry I forgot we're almost at the dinning area now, but if you would like we can go back and get you something to wear…"
"Well is it only you eating there?" Yugi asked looking up through thick bangs.
"Yes…" Yami said wondering what he might mean.
"Then I don't mind just eating first." Yugi smiled optimistic as always.
"Oh… Are you sure?" Yami asked a little surprised at that.
"Well I've been around you all day in only this so I don't see the point in walking all the way back just to dress…" Yugi explained logically.
"That's true." Yami laughed opening the dinning door.
Yugi stopped staring in awe at the room, the ceiling had to be 15 feet up ending in the middle with a crystal chandelier the walls where painted a cream and the carvings in the wood where exquisite cherubs and angels intertwined in duals and dances gold splashed here and there to add a beautiful contrast.
The dinning table was just as breath taking a long black oak table polished to shine with a white lace cloth running down the middle. There where two places set directly next to each other.
As Yugi walked still staring at the ceiling trying to take everything in he noticed the change in the floor and looked down to find he was walking on a plush black carpet.
"Wow…" Was all he managed to get out.
"I see you like this room." Yami smiled at the shocked and impressed expression rendering Yugi's face.
While I wrote the dinning room scene I was listening to Weiß Kreuz - Other Side of the Moon and well it sorta influenced the way it looked. x3
And lots of things being twisted revealed adn contorted here. It only gets more interesting.
