Falling From Grace
Ladygodess: I'm glad that you all found the dog part so funny, I have never came across a dog like that, but Marik in some stories that I read, he comes off a little like that, well to me anyway and I didn't know how else to put it or describe him o.O. Don't get me wrong he is one of my favorite Yugioh characters.
Warnings: For M and Yaoi and language and a disclaimer of I don't own Yugioh, okay that just about does it. Oh yeah love my readers and reviewers. (Smiles and waves)
CHAP 9: Just Deserts
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ryou closed his eyes then opened them looking into dark brown eyes, he had a blush across his cheeks at how close they were, they both looked around as the park lights came on. "We should go home," Bakura looked back at Ryou who looked away, Bakura turned his face back to him so he could look Ryou in the eyes. "Please Ryou, don't leave and come home with me," Ryou smiled as he nodded his head, Bakura smirked as he held out his hand for Ryou's.
Ryou took his hand and they stood up, "Your wing!" Ryou looked as it was bleeding again, he whimpered and Bakura hugged him, "its not quite healed yet," Bakura looked over the wing, "The bones have set but the flesh has reopened and when we rolled we bumped it,"
"It doesn't hurt as much and I think that I can fly now anyway," Ryou's wings moved slightly up and down, like they were shrugging as he leant into Bakura.
"Well that's good, but put them away you don't want to been seen, I'll fix them when we get back" Bakura looked around the park and it was empty and dark, by the time that Bakura looked back at Ryou his wings were gone.
"HEY!" A shout came from behind Bakura, he turned around only to be met with a fist in the face knocking him to the ground.
"BAKURA!" Ryou yelled, a gag was forced into his mouth and his hands tied together, he struggled to get free but stopped as Anzu's face came into view and his eyes widened.
"I was just walking past with my friend here and we saw what happened… you are going to make me rich beyond imagination… angel," she laughed as Ryou glared at her, "Oh don't worry I'll give you… your share," he was hit on the back of the head.
Bakura groaned as he woke up rubbing the back of his head, "What the fff! … Someone's going to die" he stopped as he looked around "Ryou?" he said as he got to his feet, he wasn't out for that long. He looked around more not being able to see Ryou he ran back home, he could always find Ryou but help was also needed and Marik would be pissed for weeks if he missed out on some action, Bakura didn't know how many there were that had taken Ryou.
Bakura burst into the apartment, "Marik, Malik!" Bakura found them in the lounge room. "Someone's taken Ryou while we were in the park." Bakura growled as he walked to his room.
"What? Do you know who?" Marik asked as he jumped up and ran into his room, by the time that Malik came up to the room, Bakura and Marik were ready to go, "Can you find him?" Malik asked and Bakura just gave him a smirk as he pulled out his ring from under his shirt.
Ryou's head pounded and he groaned as he opened his eyes, he squinted his eyes to get a better looked around, dust on the floor, boarded up windows and boxes and crates around the room, he was on the floor with one of his wrists cuffed to the wall. "Glad that you're awake," Anzu said as he walked up to him and lifted his chin. "I hope that my friend Honda didn't hit you to hard on the head,"
"Let me go," Ryou pulled his chin away from her hand, she pulled her hand back and slapped him across the face, Ryou gasped as he put his free hand to his cheek.
"As funny as it seems once your out of the way Bakura will be all mine again," she stood up straight. "Well I'll leave you to think about it, but something that you should think about, is that you and I can make a lot of money and you should cooperate with me if you want to remain… healthy,"
"He wouldn't leave me here, he'll come you'll see," Ryou moved back still holding his cheek.
"Bakura, don't make me laugh, he wouldn't get off his ass if his pants were on fire," Anzu kicked him in the ribs and Ryou cried out clutching his side.
"Maybe not for you, but you'll see he'll come for me because he…" Ryou stopped as Anzu knelt down and lifted his chin.
"Bakura doesn't love, I have been with him for a few months and not once did he say those words to me, not once," she leant in close. "Tell me, has he told you anything to make you think other wise? Has he ever told you those words, from his own lips?"
Ryou blinked back the tears and didn't answer her as he looked away, she was right he hadn't said anything but showed only acts of kindness, sure he asked for Ryou to stay with him and he slept in his bed but that was it apart from the kissing and touching. She stood up "That's what I thought, see he keeps you thinking that he cares but that man has more secrets than the government," she laughed as the two walked out of the small room.
"It doesn't matter," Ryou pulled himself into a ball as her hurtful words ran through his head, just then the cell phone that Bakura had given him rang and he blinked as he pulled it out of his pocket, he pushed the buttons that Bakura had showed him. /…Ryou are you okay?…/ Ryou let out a breath as he clutched the cell phone.
"Yes its Anzu, she wants to make money from me, I-I don't know where I am," Ryou started to sob.
/… Shh, it's okay don't cry. I know where you are and I'm coming to get you just hang in there okay…/ Ryou smiled as he wiped his eyes, he felt better once he had heard Bakura's voice. /… I'm going to hang up now okay, put the phone back in your pocket I'll be there before you know it…/ Ryou nodded his head as the line went dead, he put the phone in his pocket and waited for Bakura.
Bakura, Marik, Malik, Yami, Yugi, Seto and Jou came and were standing outside an abandoned warehouse, Bakura hung up the cell phone, "We have to move, he's upset," Bakura walked to the doors not caring how many there were.
"Yugi and Jou you two stay here in case some get by," Seto said as he walked off following Bakura, Marik, Yami and Malik. The place was empty except for the scuffmarks in the dust that told them that there was someone here.
"He's up there," Bakura looked up as the ring glowed and the five cones pointed to the floor above them.
"There are two here," Marik held his item in his hand as it glowed, it was a rod with a ball at the end with wings on either side and an eye in the center of the ball. "Anzu and a friend," Marik smirked "nothing that I can't handle." They walked to the stairs but frowned as the stairs were out lying broken on the floor in front of them.
"Now what? I didn't bring my stuff," Marik looked up to the next level.
"We do it the old faction way," Bakura smirked as he walked to the window and proceeded out onto the fire escape, he started to climb up, Marik, Malik, Seto and Yami followed.
"Dammit they're in there with him," Bakura hissed as he looked through a crack in the wood and the dirty glass, Marik climbed up next to him looking in as well. Bakura growled and kicked in the window as he saw Anzu slap Ryou across the face.
Anzu and Honda gasped as Bakura and Marik jumped through the window landing on their feet. "I'm out of here," Honda made a run for it but stopped at the door unable to move.
"Bakura I'm glad that you are here, do you have any idea what he is?" Anzu said as she took a step toward him.
"Yes" Bakura growled as he walked up and slapped her to the ground, he bent down and took the key from Anzu's pocket and walked over to Ryou.
Ryou threw his arms around Bakura's neck, "I can't free you if your hugging me," Bakura rolled his eyes but still smiled as he had his Ryou back again, Ryou blushed as he let go and Bakura undid his cuffs. "Are you alright?" Bakura asked as he helped Ryou straighten himself up.
"I am now," Ryou hugged him again purring.
"Malik take Ryou out of here we'll met you at home," Bakura said sternly as Malik walked up and took Ryou's hand. Ryou was more than happy to leave this place.

Ryou had showered and changed and was sitting in the lounge room with Malik watching t.v, Ryou leant his head on Malik's shoulder, the door opened and in walked Marik and Bakura laughing as they walked in and sat down. "What did you to do with Anzu and that other guy?" Malik got up and sat down on Marik's lap.
"Lets put it this way she won't be around to annoy Bakura and Ryou anymore," Marik said as he winked at Malik.
"You didn't hurt her did you?" Ryou asked, that was the last thing that he wanted was for someone to get hurt over him.
"We didn't touch her, its all in her head," Marik laughed as he got up lifting Malik up into his arms grabbing his ass and wrapping his legs around his hips as they walked off to the bedroom closing the door behind them.
"See horn dog," Bakura mumbled as he pulled Ryou closer to him, Ryou giggled as he leant into Bakura's chest. Bakura ran his fingers through Ryou's hair, "we should go to bed too, I'm beat," Ryou got up and helped Bakura up as well and they walked off to the bedroom. Ryou pulled off all his clothes but his boxers and climbed onto the bed and under the sheets, Bakura smirked as he pulled his shirt off and the ring hung around his neck, it caught Ryou's eye immediately.
"Bakura what is that? You never told me." Ryou said pointing to the ring on Bakura's chest, Bakura bit his lip as his hand clutched it, a devilish smirk played across Bakura's lips as he let go of it and climbed onto the bed then crawled on top of Ryou on all fours.
"Nothing" Bakura purred as he started to kiss Ryou on the neck, Ryou gasped and closed his eyes as he ran his hand through Bakura's hair lightly telling him to keep going. While Ryou was distracted Bakura took off the ring and put it under the bed, he brought his hand up and ran it down Ryou's side and stopped at his waistband of his boxers.
"Bakura!" Ryou's eyes shot open, Bakura's smirk was still in place.
"Sorry" Bakura pulled his hand away and rolled off, Ryou snuggled up to his side and closed his eyes as he yawned cutely, Bakura's smirk grew but then it faded as sounds came from the room next to them, Bakura rolled his eyes. "They're going to be at it all night," He pulled his pillow over his face and wondered how Ryou could sleep through it.
Bakura woke to Ryou whimpering and crying in his sleep, "no stop," Bakura sat up and turned on the little lamp on the nightstand next to the bed, normally if Ryou was in the same bed he didn't have the nightmares.
"Ryou, who's doing this to you?" Bakura asked softly, he knew of people that were in their sleep would talk and you could talk back to them, if he knew who had hurt Ryou in the first place then maybe he could help in some way.
"Pegasus," Ryou gasped, Bakura's eyes widened he growled as he shook Ryou enough to wake him up, Ryou sat up, sweat running down his face as he panted and threw his arms around Bakura's neck and sobbed. "Bakura,"
"I'm here" Bakura rocked him.
"I know everything, that happened to me, I don't want to go back, I won't live through that again" Bakura frowned and swallowed the lump in his throat, he pulled Ryou back to look into his eyes.
"Calm down and tell me what you know, then we'll go from there, okay," he kissed Ryou on the cheek lovingly. Ryou just sobbed, all his years of pain and torture out on Bakura's shoulder as he rocked them back and fourth. Ryou had told him everything that Pegasus had done to him and even before he fell and landed on his bed that night and to Bakura's relief that Ryou hadn't remembered everything, as he continued to hug him.

The next morning Bakura was eating at the table as Ryou was in the lounge room watching t.v with Malik, well cartoons anyway. Marik walked into the room and sat down next to Bakura. "I have seen a place that we should check out for a job," Bakura nodded but he didn't stop eating.
"It'll take us a month to do the prep work for it anyway," Bakura said smirking.
"It will take at least two, this place is big and we'll be able to stop for a while." Marik returned the smirk and they continued their talk on the new job.
Malik gasped as he ran into the room "You two should see this," Malik ran back into the room and sat on the floor, Bakura and Marik just sat down on the couch.
"Last night a young girl was wandering around the streets naked, no memory of where she came from, the doctors say that her mind is that of a two year old and has been institutionalized as we speak, but what was really odd was the second person that was found, a young man who was taken to the same place as he thinks that he is a nine year old girl, if you know these two people please call this number," a phone number and two photos were shown, "In other news," Bakura grabbed the remote and turned the channel and dropped the remote on to the table.
Marik just smirked and Bakura turned on his heels and grabbed his jacket, "Where are you going?" Marik walked up to him, Ryou's eyes widened as he got up and followed him.
"Out, look after Ryou for me, I don't know when I'll be back," Bakura walked to the door and opened it. Ryou panicked and ran after him, he grabbed onto Bakura's jacket, Bakura stopped and looked at him. "I'll be back," Bakura pulled Ryou's hands off him, Ryou reluctantly let go of him. "Marik keep your hands to yourself," Bakura growled as he leant down and kissed Ryou on the lips as he left.
"But where are you going?" Marik took a step forward. Bakura didn't answer as the door was closed, tears fell from Ryou's eyes as Bakura always told him or at least reassured him, but this was cold, Marik to felt a little left out, he put his arm around Ryou's shoulders and lead him back to the lounge room, he wandered what Bakura was up to.

A savage growl came from a rooftop and black wings unfolded as eyes glowed blood red, and the figure leapt up into the air and it flew with such speed that the human eye would not be able to see.
He past from the human realm into heaven and landed at the gates, he stormed forward into heaven. Now any sane demon would leap off and fall to hell and stay there, but not this particular demon he was feared by all demons and angels alike, he smirked as he didn't fear anything.
He walked up to the great hall, angels flew away in fear and cried out as they did he smirked again, he kicked opened the doors with such force that they almost broke off their hinges.
He growled in annoyance as it was full of angels, they stopped talking as all eyes looked at him, he walked through and up to the front staying in the shadows as he walked.
"What do you want demon?" Pegasus asked as he looked down at the new comer.
"I just got news that you were in heaven," the tall figure said rather calmly for his personality.
"Of course I am… so state what you want demon," Pegasus grinned.
"I have come to collect you and take you back to hell, you're a hard one to find," he sneered.
"You have been cast out of heaven and you dare come here demon of death" another said this demon was one of mutual grounds now and he only came when one has committed a crime against the gods or demons and angels.
"Yes and I intend to collect," the figure tapped his foot on the tiled floor in annoyance.
"Leave now," the voice boomed, the figure snorted everyone gave him such a hard time he was just doing his job after all.
"I have a little pay back to do first before I go anywhere or do I have to bring project 455 with me," the hall was filled with gasps and cries, his smirk just grew even more revealing fangs not that the angels saw much of him but knew of him.
"How did you find it?" another snapped.
"What? Did you think that you could keep it from me?" he put his hands on his hips. "Hand over Pegasus and you'll all live for now," he pointed to the man that he wanted. "Save heaven today or choose it's fall, you all know me and you can't hide him from the crime that he has committed" he growled as his eyes scanned the hall, the archangels flew down and stood in front of him prepared to protect themselves.
"What has brought this on for you demon to be like this?"
"Pegasus is a demon and has caused an angel to be a fallen and that he has to come with me," every one gasped and looked at him.
"What! He's lying! Kill him now!" Pegasus yelled and pointed to the figure who lunged into the air sword drawn and at the ready.
"WAIT!… He will go to trial and let the gods decide his fate, if he's found guilty then he's all yours, but you have to bring evidence of this claim," he stopped a few inches from his targets throat.
"Fine but the angel that he violated can not come and face him" the figure narrowed his eyes in a glare of hatred, then turned on his heels and put his sword in his sheath, it wasn't his job to kill but he wanted to, he hadn't been up here in years and left the hall, he stepped outside and took a deep breath as he looked around.
"Send Aki to follow him and find that angel, then bring him back before the council… and as for you Pegasus you are under arrest take him to the dungeons" The archangels dragged him away as he screamed, if he was guilty he would be sentenced to death. But he smirked and knew that the angel of death wouldn't be able to find the dead angel any time soon so he was safe.
The figure walked to the gates and he stood there for a minute looking down, he pulled his wings back flat against his back as he leant forward free falling and a laugh of insanity as the feel of the adrenaline ran through his body, but unknowing to him he was being followed.

Ladygodess: Sorry for the long wait for the update I'm having a little trouble with this one at the moment. (Drum roll) Who was the demon? Well I hope that got the mind going and a bit more mystery in there for you, I know, I know. I have left you with more questions than answers, but there will be anguish a little later on so. R&R thank you.
