CHAP 27: Finding Out


He flapped his large black wings flying towards the forest, he flew over the treetops and to a clearing and he found a group of angels working. He landed and looked at each of them and found Solomon. "YOU!" he grabbed him and threw him to the ground and stood over him.

"Bakura?" he started to push himself up, Bakura pushed him back down with the heel of his black boot.

"If you lie to me old man, I'll end your life right here and now… the stupid girl that was working with you to heal Ryou." He paused as Solomon nodded his head.

"Shizuka?"

"Whatever, she said that you brought Ryou back!"

"I did, I saved him." He gasped as Bakura picked him up and punched him in the stomach.

"Are you trying to torment me with these lies of my angel dieing then coming back?" Bakura dropped him.

"N-no… i-it's the truth… he's alive." Solomon coughed out holding his stomach.

"Are you insane you can't bring back the dead, even I know that. He was dead because you failed." Bakura kicked him sending him on his side, "I warned you old man not to fail me, you know the price for failure."

"NO!" he put his hands up as Bakura grabbed him again by his robes, all the other angels flew off in fear.

"I did save him with the River of Life, I used it."

"I held him," Bakura said unnaturally soft, "his skin that burned was so cold."

"Please if you don't believe me then ask Ishizu the other one that worked with me, she asked the high archangels to help him they left Ryou in her care."

"I swear old man if your lying to me I'll take your pathetic life."

Bakura's heart pounded in his chest and a tight feeling in his stomach, what was he going to do? This was pure madness, did he dare hope some small miracle that Ryou lived and defied the gods and lived for him, he smirked his beloved angel 'defied' the gods, then again Ryou to him was that small miracle in itself, no one could love him or take him for who he was but Ryou and no other. "So he is alive then?"

"Yes but see Ishizu." He turned and flew off over heaven but swooped down as he saw her walking down the path. Bakura landed and ran up to her spinning her around to face him.

She gasped "Bakura!"

"I here that you brought him back where is he?"

"I can't tell you," she said Bakura shook her then asked again.

"If you don't tell me woman I swear that I'll take your life" he pulled out a feather and it glowed and turned into a sword and he held it at her throat.

"I left Ryou with an ex-girlfriend Mai in," she gasped as Bakura let her go.

"Domino city, Mai?" Bakura asked as he turned his back on the woman that meant that he could be with Ryou by tonight, but if this was something that they concocted he growled then the world the universe will feel his wrath.

"Yes, but you can't" Bakura ignored her as he flew off.

"So close to home all along, watch out my angel I'm coming home" he flew to the edge of the clouds. Just as he started to fall over the edge a chain was wrapped around his neck and as others wrapped around his wrist, leg and a wing.

"Not so fast Demon," an archangel called out as he pulled on the chain, Bakura gasped as he hit the ground then pushed himself up but his hand was kicked out from under him knocking him back down to the ground and he was shocked into unconsciousness.

"Take him to the holding cells," he called out to the other archangels, "He has some answering to do," he watched as they lifted Bakura up off the ground and carried him off, not to far away they were being watched.


Ryou smiled as he carried the blanket and was walking with Malik and Marik who carried the basket of food. "This looks like a good spot to eat." Malik said the ground looked like it was covered in light pink snow.

Ryou laid out the blanket and the three sat on it under the cherry blossom tree, a group of kids ran by playing, families were everywhere in the park having a picnic as well. "This is great," Malik said as he lent up against the tree. Ryou nodded his head as he pulled up his knees to his chest and with only one person on his mind.

"I'm sure he'll return soon," Marik said, but he knew that Bakura wouldn't be walking through his door anytime soon.

"I know I just would have loved to have spent a day like this with him that's all."

"But Ryou," Malik lent his head on Ryou's shoulder, "But you can enjoy the day anyway, because your with us," Malik hugged him and Marik nodded his head.

"After I thought maybe stopping by the shop and getting some snacks and a movie for the afternoon." Marik pulled out the food Malik and Ryou agreed, but as the day wore on cloud's rolled over the city with the promise of rain.

Malik and Ryou were over at the pond watching kids and teens with remote control boats in the water. A loud crack of thunder rolled across the sky and was shortly followed by a sudden down pour of rain, everyone screamed and ran about. Malik and Ryou watched as the park was thrown into panic over rain. Ryou clung onto Malik so not to get knocked over he wrapped his arms around Ryou and started to move back to where Marik was packing everything back up.

"Lets go before we catch a cold." Marik said as he left the basket and Ryou grabbed the blanket and started to walk back home.

Later that night "Come on, that's not right!" Marik yelled at the t.v as Malik and Ryou giggled, "Do they honestly think that people would buy this bullshit," he pointed to the t.v.

"Not everyone is a professional thief Marik or as good as us," Malik smirked as Marik kept pointing out faults in the movie.

Ryou shook his head as he got up Malik and Marik watched as he walked to the door, "I'm going to bed now," they both said their good nights and Ryou left the room. Malik crawled over and sat on Marik's lap it wasn't to long Malik had fallen asleep. Marik turned off the t.v dropping the remote onto the couch and getting up with Malik in his arms and walked up the stairs, he lay Malik in the bed then left the room across from his was Bakura's for that short time that he stayed with them and Ryou slept in. He hadn't told Ryou what room was Bakura's Ryou found it himself. He opened the door and looked in.

Ryou had pushed the blankets off himself he was wearing one of Bakura's t-shirts that he left behind. Marik sighed as Ryou pulled himself into a ball and whimpered in his sleep. Marik walked over and pulled the blankets up over him, he hoped that Bakura would come by for a visit, Ryou really needed him right now he turned and left the room.


White wings shone in the moonlight as he moved silently through the sky, he landed and moved to the shadows as two archangels walked by him unnoticed. He moved to the doors putting his hand on the handle he looked around to make sure that he wasn't seen and pulled them open just enough for him he get through. Once in he closed the door and moved to the door on his right as an angel walked out of the doorway he slipped into the room.

He walked up to the door that lead down to the holding cells he pulled open the door and moving to the stairs he scanned the stairwell not seeing anyone he moved downwards taking a step at a time with his back to the wall and a hand to guide him taking the last of the steps he stopped and looked down both corridors, the flame torches gave it a yellow hue, he stepped down and looked again, biting his bottom lip, but he jumped as a pained scream came from his left.

He moved curiously over to the door, the sound of a whip cracking and a scream followed, he lent up and looked in he was right, "Tell us where it is?"

"Fuck you," SMACK!

"Where is it demon?"

"What? I wasn't listening?" SMACK.

"The ring we want it."

"The only way you'll ever have it is if you bend over and," the one outside his eyes widened as they beat mercilessly beat the prisoner.

'He's not going to live long if they keep this up' he thought as he looked up and down the hall then turned back to the small opening in the door.

"Leave him, he's out cold." He was kicked in the side but didn't move.

"The trial will put an end to his miserable life anyway."

"I wouldn't miss that, I lost a good friend in the fall because of him and that stupid angel, if it were up to me I would have him on trial as well." The one at the door moved away and ran down the hall hurriedly looking for a spot to hide a few doors down he ran into it an empty cell and waited, his heart pounded in his chest he had never done anything like this before and this could cost him more then he was willing to give up but it was for a friend, he shook his head as he took the chance to look, he held his breath then let it out again as it was clear he moved.

He ran keeping his back to the wall and came to the same door he looked in, it was dark, he looked around he tried to open the door but it was locked he called in through the slot in the door. "Hey" he looked up and down the hall again, as he waited for a reply but didn't get one. "Dammit!" he put a hand over his mouth and moved away from the door.

He flapped his wings as he let out a breath he had gotten in and out without being seen, he flew over and landed outside a house and knocked on the door and he waited it soon opened and before anything was said he pushed his way in and closed the door.


Marik watched as Malik and Ryou where under the tree talking, well Malik was as Ryou just stared. Marik sighed and was about to join them when the phone rang he walked over to the small table and picked it put putting it to his ear. "Marik here," he lent on the wall and looked at the floor as he moved his foot back and forth.

"Marik it's Mai I need you to come over now," she sounded a little stressed out.

"I can't right now, can it wait?" he looked out the small window next to the door.

"This is about Bakura it's important that you come now, I have Yami and Seto coming over we're going to need help on this one."

"Give me half an hour and I'll be there," he hung up then called out "Malik!" both teens jumped to their feet and ran into the house, Malik just saw Marik run up the stairs and into their room, Malik ran after him.

"Marik!" he called back but was stopped half way up the stairs as Marik came down them. "What's going on?" he asked as Marik moved him so he was standing lower.

"I have to go and see Mai now," he then turned and walked the rest of the way down, once again Malik was right behind him confused.

"Did she say what she wanted?"

"Yes, but I'll tell you when I get back," he kissed Malik on the lips then moved to the door. Ryou watched as Marik gathered keys and his leather jacket he kissed Ryou on the forehead then opened the door and walked out.

Malik and Ryou ran to the window in the living room and watched as Marik started his motorbike revved it and drove out of the garage and onto the street.

"That was odd" Ryou said.

"Yeah I wonder what's up?"

"Do you think it could be bad? You know with what you guys do and all," Ryou stepped back a bit.

"No Marik would have told me," Malik moved away from the window. "Come on, lets go back outside he'll be back soon." Malik stood at the doorway Ryou nodded his head.


Marik pulled up outside Mai's place Yami's car was there and Seto's as well. Marik walked up to the door before he could knock it was opened. "Come in," Mai moved aside for him and he stepped inside.

"Well I'm here?" he stated as he moved into the living room.

"Okay I need everyone to listen up," Mai looked at each of them, "I just got word, that Bakura is in heaven now as I speak," Marik growled as he started for the front door, Mai stopped him, "You have to listen."

"I don't need your help as this has nothing to do with any of you," Marik shrugged her off.

"Marik, this you might want to hear," Yami said.

"They're putting Bakura on trial tomorrow for crimes that he has done." She said.

"He's guilty, you have a day before they take his life," Duke said as he came into the room.

"Your saying it as if they have already put him on trial" Marik lent on the wall.

"Oh they'll find him guilty and he'll die a day after, they'll make sure of that," Duke said "You have to help him, they have half beaten him and I don't think it will be the last one that he gets before the trial."

"How are they keeping him?" Marik asked, Bakura wasn't one that they could keep locked up.

"They're using shock chains and a binding chocker," Duke sat down on a chair. "I saw them take him and I saw them beat him in the holding cell. They're asking for the ring as well. Do you know where it is?"

"No we don't Bakura and Ryou are the only ones that know how it works…you know where he is right?" Marik asked Duke nodded his head, "Then we go to the trial and that night we break in and get him out."

"That's going to take all of us," Seto said. "We'll need the lay out of the place guards where they'll be where Bakura will be."

"With the help from Duke it'll be no different from the other jobs we do."

"We should let him know that we are there let him see us," Marik said.

"Once we break him out we'll have to leave straight away," Yami said.

"No I was planning on having tea with them first," Marik rolled his eyes.

"While your at it why don't you" Yami was cut off.

"That's enough!" Mai growled.

"Give me until midnight then we'll leave it will give us the time change and we'll end up there right before the trial." Marik said as he walked to the door.
