CHAP 4: Nothing But Trouble

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

In heaven all the councilmen and angels quaked in fear, at the most frightening thing they knew. Not even the demons messed with this one. Every one respected her, rooms would fall quite when she entered and everyone's eyes would go straight on her.
She loved to be feared by all, it kept everyone on their toes.

This girl was only that of a nine year old, she had bright green eyes that held the ages of wisdom and power far beyond her physical appearance, and long curly honey brown hair that sat around her waist and shaped her face nicely giving her an angelic look but she was far from it. Evil ran through her every being, her robs were red as blood and they pooled around her feet.

She was here on business, the matter at hand was that of her brother was missing and she was getting nowhere fast. Yes, she was evil as they came, but one person always had her eye. Now they were telling her that he had gone missing and presumed dead.
"He is not dead or I would know it," she yelled from the bottom of the great hall as rage filled her and she was just about ready to make them pay for their insolence. "I gave you my brother and this is how you thank me, by losing him"

"We know that he has fallen, it is a most horrible thing to lose such a" he was cut off, as the girl flew up her black wings flapped violently like a wasp awaiting an attack as she landed on the railing.

"Hold your tongue you snake, you will find him or I'll rip your heart out in front of the gods and feed off your organs" she threatened, the hall was filled with gasps and cries.

"My lady if he has fallen into the realm of the demons, then he is dead and he had so much promise too" she narrowed her eyes at him and then back to the other that was in front of her.

"You want to hope that he is wrong, if he isn't returned to me soon," she flew up to the near top, "The blood of every angel here will rain from heaven tainting the sky, and the gods will weep for their loss" she screamed at them.

"I want him, and I want him now, FIND HIM!" the whole place shook with her angry outburst, and every high councilman and angel ran from the hall in blind panic. She sat down and sighed. Resting her chin on her hand.

"My lady, this boy was the last to see him," she looked up annoyed, to see an angel with black hair and green eyes.

"I saw Ryou just after the ceremony, he was upset though he wouldn't say why, but I know that he wouldn't fall for no reason" Duke looked fearful at her, he had heard of her but never seen her up close. She offered for him to sit down next to her.

"How would you know what he would and wouldn't do?" she looked at him with interest.

"I am his best friend, he would seek comfort from me, from time to time but I don't know why" he looked at the ground.

"He didn't give you any clues as to why he would do this?" she looked around the great hall.

"No… wait there was one night that a" he was cut off.

"Duke you have training now, off with you and leave Lady Aki alone" Duke nodded his head and ran off, Aki glared at the other at the use of her name no one called her that.

"You shouldn't listen to young ones tales" he sat down next to her.

"Tell me why I shouldn't rip your head off for your insolence," she growled and the whole hall shook with her anger as she got up.

"You are so wise and you trouble yourself with a boy, do you wish to kill him yourself" she growled at him her fangs sat over her bottom lip.

"That's up to me, and he's not just a boy, he is mine, he belongs to me and no one else." She took flight and left the hall.

"My lord, should we look for the boy?" a voice asked.

"No, he 'is' dead, it will be amusing to see her do the job for me, heaven will fall one way or another," they both laughed.

As tears fell from his eyes as a knife was stuck in his shoulder and dragged down a bit blood ran down porcelain white skin staining it and the sheets, then it was pulled back out the wound healed and then the knife would be stabbed somewhere else in his body. "Please… stop" he begged as he got a slap across the face.

"I'll stop when I've had enough, slave," the faceless man said. Ryou sobbed as a gag was put into his mouth "can't have you letting all of heaven know what we are doing," he stuck the knife into his thigh.

His scream was muffled as tears ran down his cheeks mixing with blood. The faceless man licked his cheek. "It's amazing how I can cut you over and over again and heal you, and no ones the wiser" the boy cried harder, it was another way of the other to get his sick fun.

"Come now how long have we been doing this? and you still cry. But then you like this, as a fallen that you are, your nothing more then a worthless slave" he chuckled, the boy under him took the insults that the man was giving him. He couldn't say anything anyway and the man wouldn't listen to him.

"I think that a better punishment is in order, but what?" he grinned wickedly at the boy, he stabbed the knife in the boys arm and left it there. The boy watched the other his eyes never leaving him as the man got off the bed and walked over to a bag that he had brought with him, pulling out a whip. The boy's eyes widened as he saw what the other was going to do. The room was soon filled with muffled cries and the sound of flesh ripping away from his back with every crack of the whip.

Ryou sat up right in the bed, gasping for air he hugged the sheets to his chest, he looked around the room and whimpered. As tears fell he wasn't sure if that was a memory of him or someone else. He held back the tears that wanted to fall, he got up shakily as he did. He walked to the door opening it and walked down the hall, to Bakura's room. The roof had been fixed that afternoon, Bakura was never happier to have his room back, and every window was fixed as well.

They had given Ryou a room of his own to sleep in. He shook his head as he placed his hand on the doorknob, and wondered if Bakura would be angry with him. He pushed the door open and walked into the dark room, he closed the door and walked over to Bakura's bed the room was filled with light snoring.

Ryou's eye's widened as Bakura pulled back the sheets and Ryou climbed in and cuddled up to him. "Ryou what's wrong?" Bakura asked groggily.

"I had a nightmare…. I don't want to be alone?" Ryou bit his lip hoping that Bakura wouldn't send him away. Bakura sighed and laid on his back, pulling Ryou onto his chest and running his hand through his hair, Ryou made purring sounds. Bakura chuckled as Ryou reminded him of a kitten, he pulled Ryou closer to him if it were possible, they both fell asleep.

It wasn't until a few hours later that Bakura was woken up by whimpering, he opened his eyes and calmed Ryou down in his sleep. He couldn't help thinking what the angel was dreaming about that was so bad, weren't all angels happy go lucky without a care in the world.

But Ryou seemed to be withdrawn, and had a pained look in his eyes that his body and mind was screaming to say but his mouth wasn't listening, it worried Bakura, to no end something was happening and he could feel it, they again fell into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning Ryou was looking at a sleeping Bakura, he marveled at how beautiful he really was, a blush ran over his cheeks as his lips tingled wanting to be pushed up against these, soft lips. Ryou unconsciously licked his lips, as he moved up and was looking down at Bakura.

He didn't realize it when he did just that. He very lightly kissed Bakura on the lips, his heart pounded in his chest, as Bakura's lips were just as he imagined they would be. As his mind screamed at him, asking him 'what he was doing?' Ryou sighed 'I think I'm in love with him' he replied, but he was shocked as Bakura started to kiss him back giving a little moan of appreciation. 'He will only use you and throw you away, guys like him do that' it said smugly. 'What would you know?' Ryou snapped back. 'He couldn't love a slave," Ryou's head shot up as tears filled his eyes. "I'm sorry" Ryou said as he got up and ran out of the room.

"Was it something I did?" Bakura asked himself, as he followed Ryou. Marik and Malik walked out of their room to find Bakura at the bathroom door. "What's wrong?" Malik asked as he walked up to him.

"Ryou was kissing me and then he locked himself in here" Bakura narrowed his eyes at the door he wanted to break it down.

"You kissed him, Bakura how did you manage that?" Marik hissed at him.

"He kissed me, I only returned it and he ran off" Bakura still glaring at the door as if it was it's fault.

"Ryou open the door" Malik knocked softly on the door, a few minutes later the door was unlocked and Malik was allowed in the room. Malik found Ryou huddled up near the window on the little seat that was there. Malik sat down next to him, "What happened?" Malik picked up the small cloth that was there and wiped Ryou's tears away.

"I don't know? I did something wrong and now Bakura is probably angry with me, he does have a girlfriend" he looked out the window.

"Anzu?…. not on your life she has always had a crush on Bakura, and if you did what I think you did, he's not angry with you at all" Malik smiled.

"But he was asleep when I kissed him" Ryou said not believing what Malik was saying to him.

"Bakura likes you, it's written all over his face," he ran a hand through his hair as he looked at Ryou.

"He likes me, but I'm used and a" his eyes widened as he stopped what he was going to say, hopping that Malik hadn't chough it.

"So was I and Marik loves me, we have been together for a few years, and Bakura likes you" Malik took his hand in his.

"I don't even really know who I am, and I can't fall for him," Ryou said sternly.

"Why not? But I think that you have" Malik gave a knowing smirk.

"Because I'm not even human, and it's wrong" Ryou stood up.

"Love doesn't know that and it's not wrong, you are human just with wings that's all" Ryou gave him a skeptical looked.

"But once that I remember, I'll have to leave him and it's not fair" Ryou passed back and fourth.

"Why can't you stay here with us, we would look after you, and I don't want you to go" Malik looked up with tears in his eyes.

"Malik I like you as well, but that doesn't change that" Ryou stopped and looked at Malik, "I've only been here for a few days, how can you like me in that short time" Ryou was touched that Malik liked him, he also liked Malik.

"Why does it have to be hard, you either love him or not there is no in between" Malik stood up, "I fell for Marik the first time that I saw him" Ryou nodded his head. The door opened as Bakura walked in and stood there looking at Ryou.

"I am sorry for what I did" Ryou looked at his feet, Bakura walked over and lifted Ryou's chin to look into his eyes.

"Why? I'm not" Bakura said simply, Ryou beamed and threw his arms around his neck and hugged him. He had made up his mind that he would stay with Bakura no matter what.
