Ryou: hello it's me again. Sorry people but Raven isn't here cause she fainted from all the reviews from the last chapter and for making this chapter longer cause alot of people like it! And Ayume took her to bed a little while ago. So It's just me and Bakura.
Bakura: She's some weird chick that had to redo this chapter 5 times till it was good for her taste. =smirks= she's funny when she drinks soda though.
Ryou: She does that cause she writes more when she's sugar high! You know that yami!
Bakura: Whatever...aren't you suppose to do the disclaimer or something like that
Ryou: =gasp= I almost forgot! Raven doesn't know any of us or the show. She doesn't own the band ACDC either...haven't you notice she puts bands in all her chapters yami?
Bakura: =shrugs= Don't know and who cares...ok enjoy this mortals.
The roar of the sea was boomed as they collide with the cliffs. Each wave crashed to each other wanting to get what they have lost on shore. Someone's name was being yelled for on the top, it was mixed with the sound of barking and whining as their young master was dangling off the edge. His friend caught him in time but only manage to capture one of the pale hands. The white haired teen hanged there, not looking up to see his friend's concern face or his dogs sadden faces. No. He stayed there, looking down at the large blue water, envy was burning in his brown eyes.
"Ryou! Come on Ryou, answer me!" The Egyptian cried out. He tighten his grip around the pale wrist desperately trying to pull his friend from a early grave. "Ryou?!"
No answer came out of Ryou's lips. He didn't scream not even when he fell off moments ago. He continued staring at the waves as they fought to be dominate. Something was drawing him towards it. He wanted to go down there.
The dogs barkings turned to growls as they're fur lifted on all ends. They saw something down below but when Malik followed their gaze he couldn't see nothing. Seraph took a step foreword and barked a warning bark at her master. Ryou didn't jump or turned to see her. She barked again but it was of no vain. Whatever she saw couldn't be seen to mortal eyes.
"Please Ryou," Malik begged. "Look at me. You can't be planning to fall, are you?"
Something red caught the blonde's attention. It was rolling down the pale hikari's leg and dripped in the depths below. He looked more carefully then shot back. Down on the teens jeans was blood, fresh like it just got drawn out. Malik opened his mouth to speak again till he felt a tug pull at Ryou's body. It was small at first but it happened again and again, stronger at every pull. Tsubasa and Seraph both barked like crazy. They saw it. Whatever it was.
A movement came from the pale teen as he reached up to Malik's hand. The blonde sighed in relief thinking Ryou was ok but what came next made his heart sink. Ryou was trying to pull the tan's hands off. He took off one finger at a time, soon only one hand was holding him while the other was being placed by the white hair's on the wall.
"What in Ra's name are you doing?!" Malik shouted making Ryou look up at him with half closed clouded eyes. "Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
Ryou's lips moved but nothing came out but in low whispers. All Malik heard was, "Let me fall."
Malik's eyes widen at the words. He shook his head hoping he was hearing things but Ryou kept on repeating the words like a broken record. There was no regret or remorse in his voice that was once like an angel's. His voice he was talking with wasn't his, it was to dull and plain like. It was no where near his.
"R-Ryou?" Malik stuttered. His body shook and beats of sweat found their way on his forehead. The dogs nipped in the air in front of them but Tsubasa shot back whimpering. A small cut appeared on his muzzle bleeding in a steady pace. Seraph jumped back from where she stood. She turned her head around and started barking the other way. Tsubasa soon did the same.
"Let me return." The voice that wasn't Ryou's spoke. His blown eyes not looking away from lavender ones. They never blinked or moved. "Let me go home."
"N-no! Stop talking like that! If you fall…if you fall," Malik trailed off. He didn't want to think of it. "What about Bakura?!" Ryou stopped his talking and hung there. "You know how miserable Bakura will be if he found out you jumped, and of your own free will?!"
The brown orbs blinked then blinked again till the clouds covering them vanished. His head swung to one side to the other then up at the Egyptian.
"Malik?" That was his voice. The one that was sent down from heaven. "What are you doing?" He looked down and the memories from moments ago came back to him. He fell off cause someone was calling him. Ryou looked back up right at the moment something tugged his leg.
"Ryou stay calm, your making my grip loose." Malik grabbed hold of wrist again but a sharp pain shot up his arm. He pulled away his one hand hissing, then to find scratches covering the back of it. "What the Ra?"
"Malik make it stop!" The Egyptian brought his attention from the crimson on his hand to the pale hikari crying under him. "It hurts!"
"What hurts?!"
"My legs!" Another tug happened after Ryou spoke the last words. A scream escaped his lips as, what Malik saw, Ryou's jeans being ripped with blood dripping from the visible wounds that weren't there before. "Malik I'm slipping!"
"What?!" He was to late to grabbed hold of his hand as it slipped away from his grasp. "RYOU!!"
"MALIK!!"
Return to us Ryou…come back home to darkness
"BAKURA!!"
That's it. He's falling toward the hungry sea. The voice he hears is getting it's wish. Ryou closed his eyes as tears flew in the air. Someone called his name. It wasn't the unknown voice or Malik's it was,
"RYOU!"
The person grabbed his shirt throwing him over the cliffs into that person's arms. He heard more yelling and swears, the arms around him tightened. Ryou cracked his eyes open to find Malik being hugged to death by his yami. The dogs were no where in sight. And when he looked up he found Bakura squeezing him, not planning to let go.
"Bakura?" The said yami glanced down with worry and concern in his usually menacing eyes.
Bakura smiled before hugging his hikari again. He leaned his head on the pale teens soft head, "Thank Ra we got here in time."
The hikari blushed, he smiled in his yami shirt nodding to what the thief said, "Same here."
"Do you guys know what could of happened if Marik and I didn't get there in time?!" Bakura asked with Marik behind him crossing his arms and nodding to what the other was saying. After the teens came back to the cabin the yami's ordered their hikari's to be seated on the couch to hear what the punishment is for leaving the yard without them knowing and almost letting one of them fall.
"Yes." Malik replied staring at the cream colored carpet.
"You do now don't you?!" It was Marik's turn to lecture the teens. Both hikari's nodded and Marik continued. "Ryou could of died! And what would have happened if the edge gave in and token you too, Malik!"
"If Bucky didn't heard your guy's screaming's we would've be to late to save you two." Bakura sighed and glanced other to see Ryou wiping his eyes with his sleeve. "Why did you two even do that?"
"I w-wanted to s-show Malik the c-cliffs." Ryou managed to say though his hiccups. A arm was placed around his shoulders. Malik was next to him now, holding a tissue with his free hand to the teen. The pale hikari smiled, grabbed the object muttering a thanks before wiping it on his eyes.
Malik then turned to glared at the yami's, "He didn't mean to you know. He was excited that I came and wanted to show me around. We didn't know that would happen." The Egyptian brought Ryou to his feet. "We're going to his room. Good bye." He grabbed hold of the teen's hand pulling him toward the stairs and disappearing to the second floor.
"Malik get back down here!" Both yami's heard a curse and the door slamming. Marik sighed turning to the one next to him. "You think we went hard on them?"
Bakura gazed up the stairs, "I don't think so. What they did was the worst's thing those two have ever done. Ryou could've died and your's might of gone after him thinking he could save him from drowning." The thief strolled over to the steps but stopped at the bottom, his hand on the railing.
Marik placed his hand on the white haired's shoulder causing him to turn to him. "I think we should leave them be Bakura."
Bakura sighed, "Your right." He paused and stared at the table. "You think they want their sandwiches and smoothies?"
"I can't believe them. Yes, I know we could of gotten hurt but it wasn't our fault." Malik rant while rapping a roll of gauze around the pale teens blood stained leg. "I mean, if they were there then they could of seen what really happened." A soft squeak came from the pales teen's lips when Malik pulled the note tighter. "Opps, sorry Ryou."
Ryou formed a small smile, "It's ok. How's for hand?"
Malik held up his bandaged hand grinning, "It's all good."
Ryou's smile grew as he stood up, Malik next to him with a arm around his shoulder to hold him steady, and limped out of his conjoined bathroom toward his bed. He plotted himself down with the tan hikari on a backwards computer chair sitting with his legs on either side on the back grinning at the teen.
"So what do you want to do, Ry?" Malik asked after he glanced at the clock on the dresser that read 2:34 pm.
The pale hikari shrugged, "Don't know. My bags with all the games are down stairs and I don't think you want to go down there."
"Damn right I don't." He laughed at himself. Ryou joined in giggling in his hand. Footsteps were heard outside the room, shortly after a couple of knocks came with a muffled sigh and chattering of glass were heard hitting the floor before the footsteps faded away. Malik shared a glance with Ryou before heading toward the door to open it and closed it with a large plate of sandwiches in his one hand and balanced two smoothies with the other. "Don't think this will make us forgive them."
"No, I think it's for not getting lunch." Malik handed a sandwich to Ryou then a smoothie. He muttered a thanks as Malik went back to the chair.
The Egyptian looked at his food with caution, "You don't think they poisoned it, do you?"
Ryou chocked on his smoothie spitting some of the contents in his hand. He wiped away the drool with his other hand, "Really, you say that now that I ate half of it already."
"Sorry." Malik sheepishly grinned, he took a bite of his sandwich then smiled. "I can guess who made this."
Both hikari's were enjoying there threats till they heard the footsteps outside the door again. They stop in front of the room again to knock. Malik sighed and walked to the door to open it, "Yes what do you want?…huh?" No one was there. He looked down the halls and saw the same thing there too.
"Who's at the door Malik?"
"No one…did you hear it knock too?"
Ryou nodded, a cold breeze rushed though his body causing him to hug himself. He shivered uncontrollably, he didn't have any fans in the room and the windows were closed. Something that felt like fingers brushed on his cheeks creasing the skin gently.
"Ry, hey Ryou are you ok?" Ryou stopped shaking to look up at the teen in front of him. Malik was staring down at him with worried eyes.
"I-I'm ok." Not long after he said those words the boom box on his dresser blasted 'Highway to hell' by ACDC. Both teens jumped, they stared at the music player confused and scared.
"Ok Ry, this isn't funny." Malik bent over to unplugged the boom box but it kept on playing.
"But I'm not doing anything!" Ryou yelled over the music. Covering his ears didn't help much.
Malik backed away from the dresser with widen eyes, "Marik and Bakura must be doing this!"
"But you said no one was outside!" The volume was getting louder at every word they spoke. "My ears hurt Malik!"
"Let's get out of here!" Malik grabbed Ryou by the waist holding him up while walking to the door. Malik turned the knob but it didn't move. He tried harder but with no success. "What the hell?! It's stuck!"
Ryou took over and tried to jiggle it but it didn't do anything. He quickly covered his ears screaming. The music reached it's volume point. It was unplugged how can it still be going?
"Bakura!"
"Marik!"
The music drowned out there yelling. The song ended so it could start again. Malik growled, he punched the door repeatedly but it done nothing. Ryou cried cause the music was hurting his head. The room changed, a heavy atmosphere hung in the air. It got harder to breath as the teens kept on yelling and pounding on the door. Nothing seemed to reach the outside.
"Ryou we need to bash the door open!"
"What?! We can't do that!"
"Well it's a better idea then jumping out of a 2 story building window!" At this moment the Egyptian kicked the knob. It moved so he kicked it again but it fell off hitting the ground and rolled under the blue bed. "Oh My Ra, we're doom!"
"That's bloody fantastic, Malik!" Ryou yelled sarcastically.
"Stupid music!" Malik grabbed his shoe, he flung it at the boom box. The music stopped playing. Both teens sighed in relief but the moment of silence was short lived. A high pitched scream was heard though out the room. It screamed louder as the teens yelled for their yamis. "Why the hell is this happening?!"
"Bakura, help us!"
"Damn it Ry, they can't hear us!"
"But they could hear the music and screams right?!" Something pushed the pale teen causing him to fall on his rear. Ryou looked up at his friend with teary eyes.
Malik bent down reaching his hand out to the teen, "Ryou?" The screams from the boom box did one last high note until it went dead. The electronic fell off the dresser crashing on the ground, running footsteps were heard in the room as they ran past the blonde and decrease when they hit the hallway. "Thank Ra that's over…Ry?"
Malik looked down finding Ryou in a ball crying in his knees while hugging his legs. The pale hikari muttered something that was to hard to understand. The Egyptian kneeled down to get to his level, out stretched his hand gently patting the soft white locks. A warm smile was placed on his lips. The pale teen glanced up to him, tired his best to smile but it failed when he heard running footsteps outside the door. He jumped when they stopped and banged on the wooden door.
Both teens backed away from the door, Ryou in Malik's arms as the door was swung opened by someone's kick. A blonde yami poked his head in while the white haired one ran in looking around the room till he found his target.
"Ryou what happened?" He asked bringing the said teen in his arms trying to calm him down.
"What do you mean 'what happened?' Why didn't you guys come sooner when we yelled for you?" Malik yelled digging his face in his yami's shirt.
"What are you talking about? We didn't hear any yelling."
"What?!" Both hikari's yelled at the same time.
"Yeah like Marik said," Bakura pointed his thumb at the other yami. "After I left your guy's lunch outside your room we heard one of you opened the door and closed it so we guess you forgiven us. Then later on we heard laughing and running around, Marik thought you guys were playing tag or something. That's when we heard something crash and someone screaming."
"We ran up here thinking one of you got hurt but your door was stuck. So I kicked it down." Marik smiled at himself thinking he did something good but that only received a glare from the pale hikari. "What?"
"You broke my door! Now how am I suppose to sleep in here thinking some crazy madman can just walk right in here and carry me away, Huh?! Tell me Marik, how can I sleep thinking that?!"
Everyone stared wide eyes at the little hikari. They never heard him talk or yell like that to anyone, specially Marik.
"Ryou are you feeling ok?"
"I almost died in here, Bakura! Me and Marik screamed and cried for you guys to come but all you say is you only heard us laughing! How the hell can you not hear it?!"
Bakura took a step back, "But it's true. We didn't hear any of what you two said."
"But you had to! You had to hear the screaming and the music…the running…the crying." Ryou faded off. His tears raced down his face as he looked down, away from everyone's stares. No one believed him but Malik cause he was there too. If the yami's were there would they believe it too?
"Come on little one, you must be tired."
"But Bakura-"
"No buts." The yami picked the teen up bridle style and walked out the room with Marik and Malik, who kept on looking over his shoulder at the room.
After they left the hallway and down the stairs the yami's placed the two hikari's on the couch. Bakura handed Ryou the remote while Marik looked for a blanket in the closet. When he finally found one he threw it over the hikari's head.
"Ok, problem solved." Marik stated clapping his hands together.
Malik was the first to poke his head out from under the wooly bundle. "Solved what problem? Burying us alive?"
"Nope." Bakura cut in. "Since you guys aren't planning to stay in the room anytime soon. I thought it'll be better you two stay down here where we can see you."
It was Ryou's turn to pop his head out. He sighed, switched the tv on and laid back with a arm behind his head. "Good enough for me."
Malik sighed in defeat and laid the way the other was doing. He started complaining he wanted to watch what Ryou skip pasted on the tv. Ryou stuck out his tongue then went back to surfing the channels. Malik huffed and crossed his arms over his chest waiting to see what the pale teen will put on.
The yami's laughed at the childish there hikari's were doing then went to the pile of bags that were still at the door. "Great, they get to watch tv while we're stuck doing more work."
"Just shut up and help me put these in the rooms." Bakura replied throwing a bag at Marik.
"Fine." He looked at the bag he was holding then held it up for Bakura to see. "What about your hikari's ones? He said he won't sleep in his room with a kicked down door?"
"I'll think of something but for now just toss them in my room."
"And that'll be?"
"The one with dog teeth marks on it."
"Why are ther-"
"Don't ask." Bakura toss another bag at the blonde then headed up the stairs with Marik behind him.
Ryou and Malik continued their fighting, not realizing the dark figure standing behind them. It stared at them for a few minutes till it turned and headed up the stairs.
Ryou: ow my ears hurt!!
Bakura: you mean from the boom box part?
Ryou: No, your yelling cause Raven grabbed your hair by mistake thinking it was her dog's.
Bakura: oh that...she's still going to pay for that! =runs off with an ax in his hands=
Ryou: OMR BAKURA!! =runs after him=
Malik: =pops out of no where= Please review! ^-^
