PART THREE!

Me: Let the evil continue ;)

Last Time: Without waiting for a reply and ignoring the sudden shrieked 'no' of Malik, Yami vanished out of the room and into the street. Leaving a very stoic Ryo smirking down at a suddenly petrified Malik...

Malik curled back under his musty blankets and prayed that Ryo would get bored and leave him alone. A soft squeak came from the bed as the springs protested against more additional weight, Malik felt the soft bump as someone swung their legs up to beside his curled body.

"So how are you feeling?" Malik squirmed as an arm lay across his back, sending another shiver down his spine. "Are you cold little one?" Ryo purred, his other arm coming round and dragging Malik's body onto his lap.

"Ryo!" The boy shrieked, head diving out from underneath the blankets so he could stare wide eyed at the boy in question.

"Oh I'm not Ryo little one." the albino hissed dragging Malik's face upward via his chin.

"What!" Malik shrieked shuffling backwards out of the blankets, and from the end of the bed. Once again Malik was on the floor staring up at the smirking face of Ryo, who wasn't Ryo, but was him at the same time.

"Do you really think that sweet innocent little Ryo looks like this, acts like this, or is even willing to do what I want to do?" The man chuckled and crawled further forwards to the edge of the bed, white bangs falling forward and framing his face with its strange spiked quality.

"Please... Please don't hurt me." Malik whimpered pushing himself flush against the floor, only making the man above him cackle again.

"Oh no little one I won't hurt you, not today anyway. Now come back up and tell me about yourself like I asked." Malik whimpered once before slowly climbing back onto the bed and allowing himself to be pulled against the mans side. "You're being so submissive, yet you don't know my name."

"You're right, but I don't see the point in being aggressive towards you. You are on my bed." Malik sighed as fingers began running languidly through his hair, softly tiny purrs escaped Malik's lips as he rolled over and curled closer to the boy that was petting him.

"Well well I'd never think you'd be so comfortable little one... I love the purr..."

"Oh shut up... I only get treated like this - NEVER! So let me enjoy myself."

"Of course." the man murmured his face scrunching up, before he sighed and leant back against the pillow. "You know what I'll be kind and tell you who I am, you're just too cute to be left in the dark. I'm a mix of Zorc and the thief lord Touzoku... But you can call me Bakura if you feel more comfortable with that."

"Thanks... But I don't understand what do you mean you're Bakura, and you're Ryo... I'm confu- oh!" realization struck Malik as he glanced at his yami, who was grinning at Bakura as the other stroked Malik.

'Hey Malik do me a favor and curl your leg across his waist and purr louder for me.'

"WHAT!" Malik threw himself from the bed tugging at his hair, Bakura looked up at the sudden panic in the boys eyes and smirked slightly - even though his eyebrows furrowed first.

"Yes?" sliding to the edge of the bed the brit wrapped his arms around Malik's waist.

"Please remove yourself from me!" Malik growled going ridged like a plank; he was doing the only thing he knew how, getting rid of the problem and putting up his walls.

"Excuse me!" Bakura blinked leaning back and staring up at Malik startled, who just stared blankly down at the white haired boy.

"Get out! Get out! Get out!" Malik shrieked like a hurt girlfriend, trying to bundle Bakura out the bedroom door and down the hall; finally throwing him out the front door and slamming it shut in his face.

'What are you doing moron!' cried Marik materializing in front of the hyperventilating boy.

'Why would you suggest something like that! Why would you even think things like that!' Malik screamed glaring at his other half.

'I was joking little one, it's just the way he was treating you. I swear it was just like you'd come out of a rump around... Never mind, let's have something for lunch.' Marik sighed heading into the kitchen, a disgruntled Malik following closely behind him. Suddenly the later gasped, violet eyes widening in shock as the consequences of his actions finally caught up with his still spongey mind.

'He'll never speak to us again... Oh man I didn't want him to hate us, I just didn't want him to... umm... I don't know... But Marik I just didn't feel comfortable you know... Oh man I seriously need help.' Suddenly Malik burst into tears vanishing down the side of the wall and curling up on the floor. 'Marik I think I have feelings for him.' The yami remained silent his hands clasped in an attempt to hold back his words, but Malik's tears broke his thin resolve for the boy and he was beside his hikari in an instant.

'Shush Malik I have you... He won't hate us, I'll make it all better.'

'Promise?'

'Promise... And you want to know something? I like him too... And here's something else for you to mule over, you freaked out because when was the last time you where held like that? Protected?' Malik's still watering eyes blinked innocently at the other part of himself, and he sniffled slightly.

'My father... my brother... my sister... they held me like that... well at least once...'

'Exactly, we push people away when they get too close, when we start having feelings for them because of what our family did.' Marik wisely stated, the last of his hikari's tears rolling away down his cheeks and through the ghostly presence of his hand.

'Then what are we going to do?'

'Oh my clueless other half do you know what time it is? It's lunch time, so we should be able to access the others via MSN.' Malik jumped to his feet and attempted to hug his yami, but forgetting that his other half was just an image from his mind, he slipped through the image and landed face first on the floor. 'That really wasn't very smart.'

'Shut up! I was excited that's all... Let's just go and talk with the others.' Malik shook himself and rose unsteadily from the ground, heading off towards the lounge room where he left his laptop. Flicking the lid open he logged in and stared at the screen waiting for the internet connection from downstairs to take hold. With a beep the connection was completed and Malik leant forward, clicking through his internet system and drawing up the MSN window. Signing in he noted that almost all his friends where already on and waiting for his arrival - as was ritual whenever one of them went home sick during the day.

M'n'M has signed in...

Card King says: Malik what's with you! Ryo just got back to school and he was really upset.

M'n'M says: Sorry Yami, but there was an issue with Marik. *- -

Brooklyn Mutt says: Hell I can't complain cause I only got the one soul, but you don't just kick a guy out over ya yami!

Malik sighed, Joey was right you didn't kick someone out whenever your yami acted up; but he couldn't tell the Brooklyn mutt that he was attracted to the white haired brown eyed freak - he was already an outsider in their group.

Card King says: Don't sweat it bro, the brit's already moved on.

M'n'M says: ?

Card King says: Saw him sneak behind the science block with that whore Mai Valentine...

Brooklyn Mutt says: And you know what happens behind the science block!

Card King says: ^^ Noms!

An ache seeped through Malik's chest as he read this; he'd already moved on, and with that bitch Mai. Either this bloke was a total sleaze bag or he really didn't give a shit about Malik... or Marik. Sinking into the split leather of the couch Malik felt himself close over, he really had felt something for this guy, why! Why did he have to just flick him off as another nobody?

M'n'M says: I'll be back for sport, see you soon ; )

Card King says: You're mad man :P coming back for sport!

M'n'M has signed off...

With a strange heavy weight in his chest Malik snapped the computer closed, dragged his shoes back on and slowly trudged back to school. Maybe sport would actually kill him today, instead of just being a pain in his ass...

Me: Well that was weird and I was the one writing it.

Malik: Is it just me or is this getting stranger by the minute? AND IT'S ONLY BEEN ONE DAY!

Ryo: How did Mai Valentine get back in high school? Isn't she like twenty something?

Me: Yeah... But I needed the school whore (someone who'd sleep with everyone) I know it's playing her character wrong but if you haven't already noticed I got a lot of OOC's happening. Review - and I'll put more abridged jokes in ^^
