-Let us begin-
Not knowing what else to do I scratched my head and pointed to my unconscious brother. "Um… I know I owe you last time but you don't happen to have liquid nitrogen for my brother here would you?"
Ryou reached over to touch the wound but I grabbed his wrist as he almost came in contact with the blood. "Don't you'll get burned."
"I can't heal him if I can't touch him…" Ryou wrinkled his nose in thought it seemed before he stood up straight. "Hmm… I know who can fix it Follow me." I pulled Marik's unconscious body up pulling his arm across his chest so I didn't let the blood ruin the floors.
Normal
P.O.V.
Ryou walked across to the living room and touched a picture frame with a picture of a young woman in a lab coat in it. The picture that hung on the wall flipped up and there were two buttons, then tapped the one to the left and a door appeared from behind the left bookcase. Bakura looked on memorizing the code Ryou tapped into the keypad before scanning his eye and thumb. After a beep of confirmation the steel door slid open.
"Watch your step." Ryou stepped onto a large disk that was a wall-less elevator. After reaching the final landing Bakura looked around. It was a large laboratory. This one was almost the same size as the one at Kaiba Corp.
All of the equipment was a year or two out dated but still in good working condition and cared for every well. The only thing that looked as if it had not been cleaned in years were six tubes in the back of the lab along the wall each about five feet tall and two feet in diameter. They were covered in a thick layer of dust.
Ryou stepped off of the plat form before motioning to Bakura to step off as well. "Mom… I need a hand I cant heal this injury." He called into the lab.
"Alright I'm coming." Came a voice from far into the lab followed by the sounds of light footsteps. Before a minute passed a woman with blood red eyes a skin a little lighter than Marik appeared her hair was not seen from under the black scarf she tied on her head.
Bakura studied her face for a moment when she appeared looking him up and down. He was unsure if he should be weary of her, her reaction wasn't the same as normal people when she saw him. He was expecting something more 'what the hell are you and why do you look like my son'.
She turned to Bakura a pointed to a table on the far corner, "Lay him on the table over there." She disappeared for a minute while Bakura laid his brother on the sheet-covered table.
She returned seconds later with a small iron basin that was smoking but oddly enough not because of heat but cold. She poured some of the nitrogen on the would and placed Ryou's hands on it. "Heal it quickly please."
Ryou did just that, the muscle and flesh rebuilt it's self almost immediately and the veins healed as if never being severed and then the skin regenerated leaving not even a scratch or bruise of the once injury. Ryou grunted as he pulled his hand way the thick smell of blood filled his nostrils.
"Thank you." She reached next to her and pulled up a small bottle of water and rinsed the bloodied skin before nodding her approval. "Ryou go upstairs and put on some clothes" Ryou nodded with a yawn and retreated back to the platform, disappearing from the lab.
Bakura's P.O.V.
"My name is Reyna." She circled me as I stood still not liking what she was doing. "You are?"
"Number zero three." My answer was reflex it had become a natural instinct to call myself 03 when approached in this manner. I hate it.
"I meant your name not your creation code. If I wanted to find that out I'd just look at your right shoulder blade."
I went ridged not even my brothers knew that my creation code was on my right shoulder blade. I made sure to keep it covered. I noticed that she was speaking again.
" You're a little on the thin side what do they feed you? Lousy bastards want to steal and don't even take good care of-" she went on into a rant under her breath before she stopped in front of me. "Will you please lay down on that table?"
"No."
"Look can you please lay down on the table I just want to see something."
"I'M NOT A GUINEA PIG. AND I NOT JUST SOME EXPERIMENT! I WALK I TALK I BREATHE AND I THINK FOR MYSELF!"
"Good to see that you're not temperamental." she crossed her arms with a sarcastic look on her face. "Alright… alright… no need to get defensive I just wanted to know if the bastards clipped your wings… they don't grow back for years you know…"
"How the hell do you know so much about me? What are you one of Gozaburo's lackeys?"
I don't recall seeing a temper flare like that …ever. Her eyes narrowed and the red became thicker like congealed blood as her hands shook. Her jaw stiff and her lips pursed. Before I knew what happened I heard a loud smack run through my ears. My head had turned with out my knowing to the left then I felt the searing sting as I turned my head back slowly. Her posture still the same hands at her sides she glared at me, "I have nothing to do with parasites that low."
"Your gonna regret that lady." I pulled back my fist and swung.
Normal P.O.V.
"What did they teach you over there?" Reyna side stepped the attack and grabbed the boy's wrist with one hand, pushing a pressure point on the wrist to make Bakura's hand go numb she shook her head in disapproval. "I know you can do better…" In a fit of rage Bakura lashed out trying to kick the woman down with a roundhouse kick Bakura was surprised when his leg was caught and he was flipped onto his stomach. "Seems I may have been wrong…" Before Bakura could stand or even attempt to she was sitting on his back lifting his tunic up. She pressed in under both shoulder blades and the middle of his spine at once forcing the black wings out of their hiding place.
This woman was still rubbing the joints and bones of his wings then her hands slowly moved to the base of the wings massaging the tendons and muscles that held them up and moved those heavy wings. In actuality Bakura was enjoying the massage that he so desperately needed but was upset knowing that this had not been by choice and he hand no idea what she was doing.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO ME?" Bakura shouted profanities a mile a minute and tried several times to get up to no avail. She finished the massage knowing that all of the pains and knots were out she allowed him to again retract his wings. "Stupid bitch."
Sighing she cracked her knuckles which had developed kinks in them from the twenty-five minutes of working out knots that were building up over years. "Are you done yet?" She asked idly. When she received silence she nodded "So I'll just take that as a yes." With that she pulled back his head from the base of his long braid and cuffed him over the head three times before getting off of his back.
She left a sulking Bakura sitting cross-legged on the floor sending death glares at her as she approached Marik. She tapped him until his eyes were open and she help up her fingers. "How many?"
"Three fingers." He sat up and lightly pushed away the hand. Before he shook his head clearing the fog from his eyes and mind.
Reyna turned to Bakura who looked away and snorted, "Hey Brat, he's fine not too much blood was lost, now are you going to sit there feeling sorry for your self because I hit you or are you going to get out of my lab."
Bakura nodded and motioned for Marik to follow him as he walled over to the elevator, which was now coming down to meet them. Marik watched the lady as she returned to her test tubes and master computer. The steel door slid open and both stepped out.
Marik looked around at living room. The walls were a light olive and the borders and carpeting was tan with a sandy colored sofa and a glass top table. "Where in the hell are we?"
"Oh your awake!" Marik turned his head sharply to see who was talking to him, he was surprised to see a young bust girl wearing a belly shirt and kaki's her blonde hair pulled up into two curly pigtails on each side of her head. "I'm Malik."
"Ishtar… nice to meet you."
"hm…" Malik looked the boy up and down just a bit insulted that there was no flirting attempts on his part. "Oh yeah Ryou's upstairs getting ready he wanted to know if you want to join us… We're going to the zoo in a few minutes."
Out of nowhere the yami look alike popped up grinning a fox ear headband on his head. "My friend Jonouchi works there and he can get us in for free and we might even be able to play with the big cats. You know lions and tigers"
"-and bears oh my." Malik squealed mimicking Yugi.
"Ha-ha really funny..." Yugi grumbled with out humor in his voice.
Malik turned to Yugi a smirk on her face. "Admission paid for but we'll need to eat. Who's hitting up ma for cash?"
"I got us in you ask." Malik nodded and turned to key in the code to enter the lab. "Oh and Yugi go get Ryou I don't know if Mr. fantastic is allergic to anything."
Bakura watched both of them leave and looked at the floor where there were specks of ash… Before Bakura had any shot of warning Marik hand thumped him on the back of the head… Hard.
"You fuckin' ass! Why did you let go? That hurt like hell Bakura!"
"What the hell is this beat the shit out of Bakura day?" Bakura's eye twitched. "If you knew how heavy your fat ass is we wouldn't be having this discussion! My wings can only take so much! I can carry my self with the weight of these heave things just barely! You ungrateful bastard!" Marik's jaw was slack and the fire that was beginning to spark off of his hands died out. Realizing just what happened Bakura smirked. "Little brother's got his voice back and is ready to tell you off any time."
"Bakura-"
Marik was cut off by an enthusiastic voice from the stairs. "Oh you're coming right!" Ryou came down the stairs fully dressed and groomed. He wore baggy blue jeans and a green polo shirt two white kitty ears on top of his head and a white cattail dangled behind him. He had a little black kitten in his arms and a pepper gray on top of his head.
"Umm… yeah we're going." Bakura answered quickly before Marik could say another thing. "You do know that you have a cat in your hair… right?"
"I do?" Ryou reached up groping his head until he found the elusive feline and got it down. "Oh… thanks…" Ryou began climbing the stairs and noticed Bakura was climbing behind him. "Are allergic to cats?"
"No. "
"Guinea pigs?"
"No.
"Rabbits, bats, chinchillas, iguanas, snakes, hamster, garbles, wombats, shrews, panthers or genetically altered evil dung beetle minions?"
"No… but please remind me why we're going to the zoo again?"
"Don't get the wrong idea these are just my pets I want to see the other animals… the big ones."
-At the zoo-
"Hey Jou!" Yugi ran over to a blonde boy wearing excitedly.
Malik grinned hand in her pockets as she nudged Ryou with her elbow, "I swear if you see these together… I personally think that they are together dating but I know they aren't… Jonou is Seto's boy toy."
"There's another reason, Yugi has a boyfriend." Ryou sighed.
"No way!" Malik almost shrieked as they passed through the gates, "No way who?"
"How should I know all I've come across so far is Yugi sneaking out to meet the guy almost every night but barely sees him" Ryou shook his head, "On the nights he does see him Yugi seems more… happy. It's been happening for seven months now. I noticed at school."
Bakura and Marik hung back watching a sloth sleep from a branch wondering what the hell was so big about the midget getting some. They both watched with an odd sense of awe at how the creature moved so slow. Marik decided not to make an attempt at conversation because of how irked he was spending his day out at the zoo and not raising hell. Marik was rewarded with a hand being waved in his face.
Malik snuffed licking away at a snow cone, "Did you hear us?"
"What was that?"
"What school do you guys go to?" Ryou said quietly as he giggled at the monkey's antics. "They're so many and I don't recognize those uniforms from any school."
Bakura was nervous now he didn't know what the hell this 'school' was and sure as hell didn't want to look like a complete ass. But was saved from the trauma by Marik, "We don't go to school."
Bakura began taunting the prairie dogs by scaring them tossing little pebbles about an inch away from them laughing because they couldn't reach him and didn't know what was happening. Until on came up to the glass and clawed at it making all kinds of disturbing sounds.
"Um to tell the truth we're 'working' for a lab in the inner city."
"Oh well what is the internship for? And one more thing how old are you two? You don't look that far but still who's older?" Malik asked twirling her fingers around a blonde lock.
"Are you always this nosey?"
"Just with people who interest me…" Malik grinned awkwardly and pushed out her chest her pigtails and waist swaying from side to side as she switched her weight from foot to foot. "Aw… come on tell me Ishtar."
"No."
Malik crossed her arms and pouted pivoting on her foot. "You're a real jerk off!" she ignored the agitated snort and focused on the seals.
"Fine… I'm eighteen and Bakura's younger than me by one year and it's forced work we don't like it it's just what's expected of us." Marik's nose wrinkled in thought, "What is it with you you don't act like a girl… well not any of the ones I know…"
"Shy and sweet right?"
"yeah…"
"Well I'm not like other girls. I'm not looking for love or marrage I just want to get inside of your pants-"
Marik leaned forward so that their lips were almost touching, a hand on either side of her melting the plexus glass slightly. "I know, and believe me that's a total turn on. But you have to realize… I'm the one with the dick so I'm the one who makes the rules. You don't get in my pants I get in yours…"
"We'll see about that…" Fiery lavender eyes looked straight into matching pools of violet a fight for dormancy taking place in silence.
Both were interrupted by Bakura's call of "HEY ASSWIPE!"
