Take it to the Streets

Chapter 5 – Problems all around

Yami just stared at the door that they're visitor had just ran out of. There was something odd about him but he knew one thing – he can't have been from around this area, the clothes he wore were a dead give away. Yai tugged on her brother's sleeve. "Oni-chan? Hello, you there?"

"U-uh, sorry babe, I was just thinking"

"Is it safe to go back in the house now?" Yami blinked. That was a good question, this wasn't the time to be thinking about someone how had just got lost. He took her hand and slowly walked over to the door that connected the garage to the kitchen.

"Don't let go of my OK?" She gave a small nod and squeezed his hand slightly. Yami pushed open the door and peered inside. The curtains were still closed and the smell – there was no way to put in words how horrid it was. Alcohol bottles lay everywhere and a few were smashed. There was no sign of their father though.

"Where's dad?"

"Ssshh!" They entered the living room to find it in the same state as the kitchen. Vomit stained the carpet and stubbed out cigarettes were dotted here and there. Yai put her hand over her nose and whined.

"It smells really bad in here" Picking up his little sister he carried her across the vandalised room and took her to the stairs.

"Go and get dressed quickly"

Yai looked a bit confused. "Why? What are we doing?"

"Going for a very long walk"

Yugi knelt down by the fence and frowned. What were Bakura and Marik's gang doing hanging about outside the flats? Something wasn't right and it wasn't just because they was no sign of Leo. He knew he shouldn't have left Ryou, if they find him…

He sighed heavily and tried to think. There wasn't really another way into the building, well, a safe one anyway. They must have been determined to get through by the looks of the torn fence. By why? Did they think he'd gone back here? Loud laughter made him look back in their direction. One of the taller boys had just come out of the building holding a big bundle in his arms; it looked a bit like a jacket. Yugi didn't see what was so amusing about it.

But what was about to come next was going to be a big shock for him. Another two boys came out carrying something bigger and Yugi's violet orbs were near tears as the bundle was thrown lifelessly to the ground. "Leo…"

"Get off! And give that back before I punch ya one!"

"Make me!"

"That's it!" Tristan pounced onto his blonde friend. "Give it back ya lil shite!"

"Little! I'm taller than you!"

"Are you hell!" Suddenly both moaned in pain as their heads collided together. Joey shoved Tristan of him and stood up, pressing his nose against the third person with them. "What the HELL was that for?"

"Who nicked it?"

"What?"

"Who nicked the wallet?" Malik repeated himself and stared at them both. Tristan rubbed his head and stood up.

"I did, he's just too lazy to go get his own!" Joey turned his attention back to the other male and was about to punch him when Malik grabbed his wrist.

"Knock it off. You can get your own later"

"But he took the last one I got so why shouldn't I take his?"

Tristan's face turned red. "You lost that damn thing on your own so it's your own damn fault!" He quickly returned to his natural colour and turned away, putting the newly stolen item into his pocket. "I'm not gonna waste my time arguing with you"

Now it was Joey's turn to become a different colour. "Why you fu…"

"Enough!" Malik jumped in between them both. "If anything I'm sick of the two of you arguing! We've got plenty of time to get some more money but right now we need to go back to The Hall" Both of them winced at the name. The Hall was basically, how do I put this? It was a whore house. For both males and females, but mainly males. The three of them had agreed to work there in return for shelter and food. But for what they were put through they weren't given much money for it.

"Do you have to mention it?" Tristan still had his back turned.

"It's better than being on the streets"

"I'd rather be on the streets than be in that place"

Malik looked at his blonde friend. "No, you wouldn't"

"What are we gonna do now then? 'Cause I ain't going back there for a while" The brunette turned to his two friends.

Malik looked down to the ground. "I have a customer soon so I need to head back"

Joey and Tristan both gasped, eyes wide with complete shock. "Y-your still gonna do…after what happened?"

He nodded at Joey. "I really need the money and, let's face it, none of us like cleaning up so the place so…"

"Yeah, but what if…" Joey was cut of by Tristan elbowing him in the side.

"I'll be fine"

"You sure dude? I mean, we can come with ya if you want?"

"Nah, I'll be fine, really. Thanks" Although, I'm not exactly feeling confident right now…

Ryou kicked out and managed to hit his target. Bakura loosened his grip and let go to hold his injured, um, nuts. The smaller of the two wriggled out of his grasp and tried his very best to stand. His head span around like mad and he just fell back down onto his knees.

"You…little fuck!"

Ryou turned to see Bakura slowly get to his feet with a very mad expression on his face. Ryou went to stand again but was rough pushed onto his front as a heavy weight was felt on top of him. "I would have just go along with it but because you've pissed me off…" He yanked Ryou's hair so his head was forced upward. "…I'm gonna make you suffer"

He flipped Ryou around so he was on his back and pinned his arms on each side of his head. "You're my little bitch – remember that"

"I'm no one's bitch"

Bakura brought his face inches away from Ryou's. "Oh yes you are. All you're good for is a fuck and I'm gonna prove that right now. But I'm gonna make you suffer as well and I know how. I haven't forgotten all the good times we used to have"

"No matter what you do you'll never break me because someone else will always be there to pick up the pieces"

Bakura smirked. "We'll just see about that" He looked about the room and spotted a bed with no mattress in the corner. He got of Ryou and dragged him across the ground by his wrists. Grabbing the discarded rope that was used earlier on Leo he tied the younger's hands to one of the bed legs.

"Fucking let me go!"

"Such a foul mouth for a young one"

Bakura slowly crawled onto him and buried his face into his neck, nipping at his ear lobe. Ryou struggled against him but it was having the opposite effect.

"Don't! Bakura don't, please!" He was finding it hard to breathe again and having a heavy body on him wasn't exactly an advantage. Bakura just smirked.

"Begging now eh? I'm afraid it's too late for that…"
