Ryou blushed as he looked at his reflection in the mirror. Of course, us fangirls all knew that he looked good, but Ryou thought that it didn't look right on him.
"Bakura-kun?" Ryou asked in a small voice. Bakura grunted in reply. "I think the outfit is a bit tight on me... I don't know if I should-"
"Let me see for myself then!" Without giving Ryou a chance to reply, he stepped into the dressing room and wrapped his arms around Ryou's waist with his head nuzzling Ryou's neck. He then purred before saying, "My, don't you look rather sexy Ryou!" Ryou blushed and was at a loss for words. That's whenever Bakura decided that the gum had to be working, so he tackled Ryou to the ground, causing Ryou to yelp.
"Wha- What?" Ryou asked. Bakura then decided to leave him speechless again as he nibbled on Ryou's neck causing the pale boy below him to moan softly. With a smirk on his face, Bakura then proceeded to start kissing Ryou heatedly. He pulled him closer to him, and taking a rather huge chance, he ground his hips down on Ryou's. That's whenever a certain annoying blonde egyptian decided to butt in on Bakura's plans.
"Marik-kun? Where are you? Oh!" Malik jumped once he saw a blushing Ryou on the floor with a very horny Bakura on top of him. Ryou tried to pull away once he saw Malik. And Malik started to clap and cheer. This was when Bakura looked at him with an annoyed stare.
"Go for the gold!" Malik cheered. Bakura then groweled and shoved the egyptian out of the dressing room. "Damn, would it kill people to put a lock on the dressing rooms?" Bakura asked annoyed. He then looked at Ryou who was standing next to him with a blush still present on his face. Bakura smirked and was about to kiss Ryou whenever the thought hit him. He wasn't even reacting back. Damn, did I buy the wrong gum?
Bakura stopped and raised an eyebrow. "Shall we continue?" He said almost innocently. Ryou blushed even harder before saying, "Not in here Bakura! This is a public area!" Bakura then looked down at the ground disappointed. "So... I'm guessing that you're saying that the gum didn't work, huh?" In response to Bakura's question, Ryou tilted his head with confusion written all over his features.
"Umm... Bakura-kun, what are you talking about?" Bakura then reached into his back pocket and took out both packs of gum. "I gave you some gum that was supposed to make you horny... Apparently however, it didn't work!" Ryou blushed before asking, "Are you sure that you gave me the right piece of gum?" Bakura grunted in reply before saying, "Of course! The horny pack of gum was on top of the other! Look, I'll show you!" Bakura then opened up the horney pack of gum and showed it to Ryou. "See, there's one piece... neh?" Bakura stopped himself once he saw that not one piece of gum was out of order.
Bakura then opened up the other pack of gum that Ryou gave him on their way over here, and saw that there were three pieces of gum missing; the two that Ryou and him ate earlier and the other piece of gum Bakura most likely gave to Ryou on accident. Bakura slapped his forehead feeling like an idiot. "Umm... Sorry it didn't work Bakura-kun..." Ryou said, trying to cheer up Bakura.
Bakura then just sighed and said, "Sorry for trying to trick you Ryou..." Ryou then smiled before kissing Bakura on the cheek. He then said, "It's alright Bakura I-"
"Ooo!! See! I told you Marik-kun!" Malik decided to come in yet again but this time with Marik. Malik looked at them with innocent eyes before asking in the cutest voice he could manage, "Foursome?" Marik nodded and looked at them expectantly. Bakura's mouth dropped open in shock and then he grabbed both of the egyptians before throwing them out and yelling, "NOOO!!"
He then turned around to look at Ryou before saying, "Let's get out of here..."
BR
Bakura sighed in relief once he opened the door to Ryou's house. Ryou went upstairs and put all of the clothes he bought for Bakura into his room. Bakura sat down on the couch and looked at this paculiar thing they call a "tv" with curious intrest. Ryou sat down next to him and hugged Bakura before saying, "That was fun, huh?" Bakura pouted and nodded. Ryou giggled and pulled him closer. The two of them stayed like that for several moments before Bakura saw something outside that baffled him.
Noticing that Bakura was looking off somewhere, Ryou looked in the same direction. Bakura just blinked before jumping up and running outside. Ryou followed him slowly as Bakura eyed his pool before saying, "You have a lake in your backyard?!" Ryou giggled before saying, "No Bakura-kun! This is a pool! We can go swimming tomorrow if you want!" Bakura nodded and kissed Ryou before asking, "Hey Ryou, what time is it?"
Ryou looked down at his watch. "It's 9:00, we better start heading off to bed..." Bakura nodded. Ryou made them some fast dinner and Bakura kissed Ryou on the cheek before heading off to bed.
BR
Bakura lay in bed with the lights turned off. He couldn't believe how lucky he had been. Ryou was truly a beauty and he never had to steal for a living again. Bakura then squinted as his mind began to ponder on something. Who was that strange person in a cloak that Bakura saw at the mall earlier? Bakura didn't think that he had ever seen someone like that before. Then, the thought hit him; those clothes... He had seen a cloak like that before, but where?
Bakura then got up and started to pace. He had seen it... In Ancient Egypt! He tried to remember where in Egypt he had seen it. He then jumped once he recalled that they sold cloaks like that in his own town... His town that got destroyed... He shook his head as his thoughts then turned to Ryou. The boy had been the center of many of his thoughts. He had promised himself that he would never care for anybody ever again, but Ryou just seemed to complete him somehow... He couldn't really put his finger on it, but Ryou gave him a feeling that he couldn't describe.
Bakura then flopped down on the bed and closed his eyes as he began to drift asleep. Still, those words rang cleary in Bakura's head before sleep took him: There is a boy… a boy you are destined to meet. He needs you… You must protect him.
BR
Ryou hummed to himself as he wrote an entry into his journal. His father had given it to him for christmas one year, and ever since then, he had tried his hardest to keep up with it. He let all of his feelings flow down on the piece of paper. He wrote about Bakura, the near suicide incident, and the "interesting piece of gum". Ryou laughed at that part.
Ryou put down his journal and turned off the lights in his bedroom before laying down on his bed. He was so glad that he had met Bakura, he had made his life so much better. He would never have to be lonely again. Ryou then smiled as he remembered how Bakura thought his pool was a lake. There was something different about Bakura. Ryou couldn't help but get the feeling that he was holding something back from him. Ryou wanted to let Bakura know that he was there for him and that he could tell him anything.
Ryou shook his head and pulled the sheets closer to himself. There was a weird chill in the air and Ryou didn't like it. Ryou got up shivering and pulled the doorknob to turn off the air conditioner but gasped once he realized that it was locked. Ryou's eyes widened; there was no way that the door could have locked, it only locked from the inside. Ryou then froze once he heard a chilling voice echo throughout the room: You better run little Ryou; I know where you are now!
BR
Bakura was in a place filled with darkness. He stood up and looked around to see that same cloaked figure from earlier staring at him. "What do you want?" Bakura shouted at the figure.
The figure laughed before saying, "Why if it isn't Bakura. It seems that you've forgotten all about me eh?"
Bakura's eyes widened; he knew that voice... He had heard it somewhere before!
"Of course you've heard of me! You really are hard headed huh?" Bakura shook his head at the female cloaked figure. The woman then laughed.
"Well, you better remember soon, or YOUR little Ryou will have to pay dearly. For you see, I'm supposed to be dead. If I took his soul, I could come back to you..."
Bakura froze. He then yelled, "Lay ONE FINGER on Ryou and I SWEAR I won't hesitate to KILL YOU!!"
The girl just covered her ears. "Tch... What does he matter to you anyway. He's just a foolish boy Bakura. I always thought that you could do better... But no matter, you won't be able to protect him forever!" She then lauged evilly and everything went white.
BR
Ryou's whole body shook. He looked around and saw that an eerie mist had engulfed his room. "W-who are you?" He asked in a shaky voice.
Your worst nightmare! Ryou yelped and hid under the covers, the voice had been right next to his ears that time.
Aww! Are you scared? Ryou nodded and started to weep pitifully. WELL YOU BETTER BE!! Ryou jumped out of the covers and tried to get the door open again. He screamed Bakura's name, praying that he would be able to save him. Ryou then felt a chill on his face, almost as if someone was touching his cheek. Ryou shook with tears still present on his face.
There's no escaping from me Ryou. Your soul will be mine soon enough! Ryou screamed as the mirror in his room broke and the glass fell on top of him. See you soon Ryou!
BR
Bakura sat up in bed as he heard Ryou scream loudly. Panicing after that dream he had, he ran into Ryou's room as fast as he could, pulling the doorknob easily. Ryou was on the floor sobbing and hugging himself. There was glass all over him and Bakura saw that his mirror had broken. Bakura ran over, careful not to step on the glass, and held Ryou.
Ryou jumped when he felt Bakura hug him and then he pulled Bakura closer and cried into his chest. The two of them stayed like that for a while. Bakura rubbed circles on the boy's back confertingly. "B- Bakura..." He heard Ryou say through his tears. Bakura's eyes widened; besides when the boy had woken up in the morning, this was the first time Ryou had actually said his name without an honorific.
"Yes Ryou?" Bakura replied. Ryou then wrapped his thin arms around Bakura's neck before wimpering, "D- don't leave me... I- I'm so s-scared..."
"I'm not going anywhere Ryou..." Bakura said softly as he pulled the trembling boy closer to him and wrapped his arms around his waist. Bakura then pulled away and got all of the glass out of Ryou's hair before sighing, "Ryou, you better get changed; I don't want you sleeping on glass all night..." Ryou nodded and shakily walked over to his dresser to grab a change of clothes.
Bakura was about to walk out of the room to give the boy some privacy, but stopped when he felt a soft hand on his arm. Bakura turned to look at Ryou who looked at him with pleading eyes. "Please don't leave..." Bakura smiled and turned around.
Ryou smiled and got changed before laying down on his bed. "Oh... 'Kura?" Bakura looked at the boy who was pulling at the covers nervously.
"Yes?" Bakura asked.
Ryou still didn't look up as he said, "I- if it's not too much to ask... Can you sleep with me Bakura?"
Bakura smiled before laying down next to him on the bed and holding him close. "Of course Ryou..." Ryou smiled in Bakura's arms and drifted off to sleep. Bakura glanced across the room and tried to figure out what had happened. He decided that he would have to ask Ryou about it in the morning.
Bakura then turned his gaze to the sleeping boy and noticed something he didn't realize before; both of the boy's wrists had been wrapped up. Bakura raised an eyebrow, what happened? Bakura then looked at the pale boy with nothing but passion in his dark brown eyes and gently pushed a stay piece of white hair just a shade darker than his own off of Ryou's face. Bakura couldn't help but think that Ryou looked angelic in the moonlight. He pulled the boy closer before drifting off to sleep himself.
