Sorry for leaving you with that angsty cliff-hanger last chapter but it was necessary!
Now listen up, there are only a few chapters left in this story so what I want to know is: which of my other fics would you like to read?
The list is as follows:
A Harry potter Yugioh crossover – set in the fourth year and one member of the Yugioh cast will take part in the Triwizard Tournament. Meanwhile Ryou and Bakura play matchmaker for everyone. MM, YY, SJ, maybe hinted Harry x Draco.
A gemshipping (Ryou x Thief Bakura) fic that's set at Christmas – after the yamis are sent to the afterlife Ryou gets lonely and makes a wish to find his true love. Moments later thief Bakura shows up.
A Bakushipping (Bakura x Ryou x thief Bakura) fic – AU AE Ryou's an angel, Bakura's a demon, Akefia (thief Bakura) is mortal. Akefia captures the other two when they come to earth and become his slaves. In time they find themselves attracted to each other.
Ryou x Bakura, Seto x Jou – AU AE Ryou is Seto's adopted brother. Bakura kidnaps Ryou and Seto blames Jou (Jou being the guard). They then set out to rescue someone who doesn't want to be rescued.
Please tell me in your reviews which one you'd like to read first. I'll probably post all of them but I don't want to be doing too much or it'll be very slow updates. Plus I don't want to be under pressure when exams are coming up.
Anyway, Enjoy!
Chapter 8
Bakura yawned and stretched out on the bed. He opened one eye and looked towards the other bed in the room. Marik also looked like he was asleep.
Bakura sighed. He didn't want to get up – he was very comfortable at the moment – but they both had to get up if they wanted to meet Ryou and Malik. Bakura sighed again and let his eye fall shut. Five more minutes wouldn't hurt.
Suddenly the door crashed open and soldiers began to pour into the room. Bakura sat up but was pinned back down before he could move. The door slamming against the wall woke Marik up but he too had his wrists bound before he could move.
The commander stepped forward and declared, "Silver and Gold you are under arrest for theft, murder, and attempted kidnap."
Both thieves were pulled to their feet and turned to face the commander. "What do you mean 'attempted kidnap'! Who the hell did we try to kidnap!" shouted Bakura.
"Prince Ryou of-"
"Son of a bitch – I never tried to kidnap him!"
Bakura promptly received a blow to the head that made him feel dizzy. The commander glared at him and ordered both thieves to be quiet. He then turned on his heel and marched back to the palace, his men and prisoners following.
The next morning Malik woke up and found himself lying in Ryou bed. Last night the prince had not stopped crying and Malik did not think it a good idea that he be left on his own.
Malik got up and decided to stretch his legs. He opened the door that led out into the hallway and was surprised to find that the exit was being blocked. "Jou, what are you doing?" he asked the blonde guard.
Jou jumped and turned to face Malik. "Hey, don't scare me like that!" Jou replied, showing that he had not been concentrating on his guarding duties.
Malik crossed his arms over his chest and glared slightly at Jou. "Jou, why are you blocking the exit?" he asked again.
Jou suddenly stood tall and straight and said, "My orders are to not let you or prince Ryou leave the room."
"What! Why not?"
"Because His Majesty doesn't want either of you visiting the new prisoners in Dungeon C." After saying this Jou slapped his hand over his mouth knowing he'd said too much.
Malik let out an agitated noise and slammed the door in Jou's face. When he turned round, though, he had a wide smirk on his face. He knew Jou would come through for him.
Malik ran back towards the bed and shook Ryou awake. Ryou moaned and sat up, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "What's up?" he asked.
Malik was still grinning. "I know where Bakura is," he replied, instantly getting Ryou's attention.
"You do? Where is he Malik? Can I go see him?" Ryou asked desperately, grabbing onto Malik's arm.
"Yes, I'll take you to him right now. But if you want to see him you'll have to help me manipulate the guards."
"What do you want me to do?" Ryou asked determinedly.
Malik smiled at his friend's determined face. "Do you remember how I told you how to make yourself cry?" A nod. "Well that's all you need to do. I'll nudge you when I need you to do it."
Both boys then stood up and headed for the exit, Malik grabbing something on the way. He knew exactly how to get passed Jou. Malik opened the door and, sure enough, Jou was still blocking them in.
"Jou, Ryou and I want to go for a walk so please move."
Jou shook his head. "Sorry. Orders are orders."
Malik put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a chocolate bar. He opened the top of it and wafted it under Jou's nose. "Jou, if you let us past I'll give you this bar and more," Malik said temptingly.
Jou looked tempted but shook his head. Malik sighed. "I should've known you wouldn't accept my bribe," Malik said sadly. "After all, you get two bars every week."
Jou frowned. "What do you mean by that?"
"All the guards get two bars a week." Suddenly, a look of realization dawned on Malik's face. "Now I remember! Lord Kaiba said you shouldn't get your ration because 'it would be a waste to give good food to a mutt'."
A look of fury swept over Jou's face. "He said that did he? I'm going to give Lord Jackass a piece of my mind!" With that he stormed off muttering curses under his breath.
Malik pocketed the chocolate, smiling smugly. "Just as I planned."
Ryou just shook his head. "I guess having manipulating friends does have some benefits."
Malik pouted before his grin returned and he began to drag Ryou down towards the dungeons.
Please Review and tell me which fic you would like to read next.
