CHAP 5: The Park
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Marik, Malik, Bakura and Ryou walked through the park that weekend. Ryou was happily walking around looking at everything that the park had to offer. "He has livened up a bit" Marik mused as Ryou ran past chasing a squirrel but as it ran up the tree which Ryou didn't see, he hit his head and fell back on the ground rubbing his head.
Marik and Malik laughed Bakura chuckled as he walked over and helped him up, "You shouldn't chase them they are evil" Ryou frowned looking up at the now happy animal in the tree.
"That's what Jou does, you should see him after they take his lunch at school" Malik giggled but stopped as he saw the ones that they were there to meet up with. Yugi had brought a picnic along for everyone. They all found a good place to eat near the pond, Ryou threw bread to the ducks and swans with Yugi and Malik.
"So any luck with Ryou?" Seto asked.
"No but he looks much better than before" Bakura said, as he looked over to where Ryou was.
"It looks it, you have done well in helping him" Yami pointed out.
"Hey, I helped as well," Marik pouted.
'He wants to stay with us" Bakura looked at everyone around him, it had now been a week since Ryou fell through his roof.
"Well if anyone was looking for him they would have found him by now right?" Jou asked.
"Not necessarily," Yami looked up at the sky.
"But if an angel went missing wouldn't you be looking for him?" Jou piped up again.
"Yes, unless they don't know that he's gone, maybe he was on a mission and got lost and they don't know yet" Yami looked at the said boy. Bakura hoped that he was wrong and that Ryou wouldn't be looked for, they had grown so close in the past week. Bakura got up, he was tired of the talk of his Ryou.
Ryou looked next to him to see Bakura, he smiled Bakura smirked at him it would have looked cold or had other meanings to it, Ryou had gotten used to Bakura's smirks it wasn't always a bad thing, but he knew when Bakura was mad or upset.
"This place is great" Ryou said as he looked over the water, Bakura nodded his head and wrapped his arms around Ryou and lent his head on his shoulder.
"I'm glad that you are enjoying yourself," Bakura whispered into his ear making Ryou shiver at his smooth voice.
"I am as long as I'm with you" Ryou blushed at his words, Bakura pulled him closer, giving Ryou a kiss on the cheek Ryou blushed and buried his face into Bakura's shoulder so he didn't see, Bakura chuckled at the shyness that Ryou showed.
"FOOD!" Jou called out interrupting them, Bakura growled as he showed Jou a death glare, and Ryou looked up with wide eyes.
"Come on, we should eat before Malik and Jou eat it all," Bakura said as he led Ryou back to the others.
Jou and Malik got Ryou into an eating competition, which Jou won. Seto shook his head as Jou gloated.
"Here try this" Yugi handed Ryou a cream puff. Ryou looked at it not really sure if he should. Malik lent over and snatched it from Yugi and shoved it into his mouth.
"They're good Ry, you should try one," Malik said with a mouth full of the sugary treat.
"He will be able to if you don't eat all of them first," Yugi shook his head as he handed Ryou another one.
Ryou looked at Bakura as if asking if it was alright, Bakura just raised an eyebrow and gave a brief nod at him. Ryou took a bite and paused before shoving the whole thing in his mouth.
"Looks like Ryou found a new treat" Bakura ruffled his hair.
"I'm just happy that they're not dog treats or Ryou wouldn't get any" Marik snickered as he poked Jou.
"I'm not a dog, you psycho's" Jou huffed, as his face was turning red.
"Thanks, but your still a mutt" Marik chuckled. There was no other come back for that as Jou jumped and tackled Marik, in a dust cloud of a fight Malik and Bakura joined in. Yugi, Yami and Seto they sweat dropped as they watched them roll around fighting, and Ryou sat there eating some more cream puffs. After the fight had stopped everyone went off to do their own thing.
Ryou sat and watched Yami and Yugi in a game of duel monsters that interested him. As Seto lent back on the tree that they were under, he was reading a book and watched the games going on around him. Jou, Malik, Marik and Bakura were playing a soccer game.
The ball flew through the air going right for Seto almost hitting him in the head, but he had good reflexes and it hit the tree and bounced off rolling over to Ryou who picked it up. Bakura came running over to take the ball from Ryou, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek "I think I'll go for a walk," Ryou said, Bakura was running backwards smirking at him.
"Just don't go to far, stay near" he winked at Ryou before turning around and returning to the game. Ryou walked off to the pond, he liked the birds.
But as he wondered away from the group unnoticed, he was so in his thoughts that he hadn't noticed the group of girls walking his way. They walked up to him and bumped into him, knocking him to the ground. He looked up to see the same girl that had kissed Bakura just a few days ago. "Oh what have we here?" she held out her hand for him, Ryou frowned and reluctantly took her hand.
"Say weren't you the guy that Bakura's hanging out with?" she put her hands on her hips. Ryou nodded his head slowly.
"He's just over" he didn't get to finish.
"That's great and all, but you know that Bakura will sleep with anyone, he'll get bored of you and come back to me, we were together for a few months after all" she flipped her hair.
"Bakura's not like that, he" Ryou was once again rudely stopped.
"What loves you, don't make me laugh. Bakura's incapable of love and he's not gay, I should know, trust me." Ryou looked away could she be right about Bakura? But then why would Bakura kiss him and touch him every chance that he got? "But if you don't back off I'll have to do something that won't be very nice, Bakura's mine and don't you forget that" she hit him in the shoulder hard.
Ryou kept his tears back, "Bakura is a free person, and he can do what he wishes,"
"Oh how nice," she mocked as she fluttered her eyes at him. "But get it through your think skull, Bakura's off limits" she growled as she shoved him again. "And to show you that I'm not joking I have a few friends for you to meet" a few guys came up to them, Ryou backed up not liking this one bit, he was ready to run back to Bakura. "See if you don't, I'll have to teach you a lesson, that no one messes with my guy," she said as if it was an every day conversion.
"You can't control peoples feelings," Ryou said still backing up from the group.
"No but I can stop you!" She yelled at him. With that they jumped Ryou throwing him to the ground. They kicked him a few times, Anzu laughed as she watched them beat the angel. They pulled him up by the shirt to his feet and dangled him just off the ground. Ryou caught his breath, as Anzu walked up to him and slapped him across the face hard.
"Bakura so dumb that he doesn't even know that he is being used for one thing, and all it takes is someone with a nice body and ass and he'll coming running" she glared at him.
"You used him, how could you, he'll see right through it" Ryou said angrily at her, she pulled out a knife and advanced on him. He saw the knife and screamed in fear the group around Ryou fell to the ground unconscious, birds flew out of the park to escape the noise.
Bakura stopped in mid kick Marik caught Malik before he hit the ground and a few people that walked by were on the ground. "That was Ryou!" Bakura started to run to the sound. Yami, Seto followed Bakura.
"That is Ryou?" Yami blinked looking at Bakura's back, not sure that he could hear him over the sound.
"RYOU!" Bakura yelled as he ran up to him, the sound was deafening and it was disorientating for them. "Ryou stop!" He pulled Ryou into his arms, and once again Ryou instantly stopped.
"Thank Ra for that" Yami sighed relieved as he fell to his knees, Marik came running up to them, he looked over the group that was lying on the floor unconscious.
"I bet that this is the reason that Ryou screamed" Marik kicked the knife that was in Anzu's hand it rolled clinking as it did. Bakura looked down to see the knife and the girl. Ryou was shaking in his arms, Bakura looked over to Marik who walked up and took Ryou gently from Bakura, he noticed that Ryou was shaking and tried to comfort the boy as best he could.
"Anzu, get up" Bakura growled giving her a light kick with his foot. She groaned and rolled over, she slowly got up and looked around her blue eyes fell on Bakura, thinking quickly she threw herself at Bakura and started to sob, he had a disgusted look as he looked at her. "GET OFF!" Bakura pushed her away.
"He attacked me," she pointed at Ryou accusingly, and everyone rolled their eyes.
"I don't think that Ryou would do that," Marik narrowed his eyes at her still holding Ryou.
"I was just walking by when these guy's attacked him, I was only trying to help him out" Anzu batted her eyes at him, Bakura was not buying it one bit.
"Anzu you don't help anyone unless it benefits you" Yami raised his eyebrow at her.
"He's only using you, he was flirting with them, and I would hate for that to happen to you, again" Anzu hugged him again. Ryou lifted his head to look at Bakura and then the girl, hoping Bakura wouldn't give into her lies.
"The only one that used anybody was you, and YES I did know," he growled at her, she was trying to come up with something else to say. "Stay away from Ryou…I mean it" Bakura grabbed her by the upper arm and glared at her.
"I wasn't, it was him," she said, her eyes wide in fear she had never seen him so angry before, she nodded her head that she understood him and he carelessly let her go.
"I don't want to see you again, or if I see you within a foot of Ryou I'll have your head," he said so only she could hear.
"Lets go Anzu he's not worth it" one of the other girls said as she tugged on Anzu's arm, she sighed and walked off with her friends but she knew that she would get Ryou one way or another.
Bakura watched as they walked off he turned to Ryou and Marik, Ryou moved away from Marik and looked at the ground as if it was interesting. "C'mon, lets not have the day ruined by her," Bakura said as he walked up putting his arm around Ryou, he would have to keep a better eye on him, Ryou entwined their hands together, they all walked back to the others.
