So hope you enjoy the read and review nicely and I won't have to send my psychopathic Yami after you all *Smirks and runs off to eat cakes*
Several weeks had passed Since Ryou and Marik had gone to get their tattoos, both had healed nicely and Marik was flashing his off while Ryou still kept his hidden. Being the shy boy that he was he didn't want his own Yami to hate him even more than was already needed, since then Ryou had attained more cuts and nearly had his ribs broken because Bakura came home drunk to find Ryou asleep on the couch. It was a Friday afternoon Mariku was over for dinner because Marik had to go work that evening at the museum with his sister Ishizu, Bakura was currently taking a shower while Ryou busied himself cooking dinner when he stretched his slender arms above his head as Mariku entered the kitchen. Ryou had started wearing longer sleeved tops, both his arms and back now covered in healing scars and slashes with several bruises dotting his torso here and there. Mariku froze in the kitchen door as he noticed the small calligraphic black and red writing situated on Ryous hip, staring wide eyed he cleared his throat making the younger pale teen jump
"Hey Ryou, how is dinner coming along?"
"Good, it should be ready in 30 minutes"
"Okay cool. Oh Ryou what happened to your hip?"
"Huh!? W-what do you mean?" Ryou asked in stutter as Mariku stepped closer to the boy and grabbing his wrist lightly and indicating the Tattoo that adorned the boys hip bone
"This? What happened?"
"I...It n-nothing M-Mariku...H-honest"
"Ryou don't lie to me when did you get it?" Mariku asked, his voice seemingly more darker than normal as he looked down into Ryous panicking eyes
"W-when Marik got his...I got a tattoo the same day"
"So it's Bakura you like? Why didn't you say something? I could of helped you get his attention and stop that wanker from talking so harshly to you"
"I...I d-didn't thi-" Ryou started as suddenly out of nowhere Ryous pale cheeks turned crimson red and his eyes rolled to the back of his head as he fell limp in Marikus grip making the tall Egyptian Yami Panic
"RYOU! Ryou wake up!" Mariku shouted as he gently picked the boy up as he heard Bakura running down the stairs
"What the bloody hells going on!?"
"Ryou just collapsed, his eyes rolled to the back of his head and he collapsed while talking about dinner. Has he ever done this before?"
"No" Bakura stated simply taking Ryou out of Marikus arms and carrying him bridal style up to his bedroom, pushing the teens' bedroom open Bakura walked over to Ryous bed and placed the boy down carefully as Mariku walked up behind him and gently lifted Ryous top
"Look" Mariku hissed coldly at Bakura, forcing the sinister Yami to look down at the Hikaris hips to see his name in black and red calligraphic writing
"What the fuck?"
"Guess you just found out who Ryou likes" Mariku said simply as he walked out of the bedroom and went down stairs to turn off the oven he knew most things thanks to Ryou and Marik teaching him how to cook properly. Bakura on the other hand stared wide eyed at the boys' slender hips, mouth agape as he gulped loudly and turned on his heel and walked out of the bedroom.
Later that night after Mariku had left to go home Bakura grabbed one of the kitchen knives from the knife holder and marched angrily up to Ryous bedroom, kicking the bedroom door open Bakura found Ryou with his back to the door getting changed as he walked over to the smaller white haired boy and gripped his long silky hair tightly and tugged it back harshly
"What fuck do you think you were thinking!? You fucking disgusting little fuck! What if Mariku had seen anything else! Are you fucking stupid!?" Bakura shouted coldly at Ryou before launching him violently into the wardrobe which made Ryou yelp loudly as he quickly moved his hands to the back of his head, as Bakura walked closer and kicked Ryou swiftly in the side of the ribs making the boy curl in on himself, "When did you get that done!?"
"W-why do you even c-care!?" Ryou shouted as he pulled himself to his feet and attempted to stand his ground against Bakura
"You are fucking PATHETIC! You are WEAK! Not to mention fucking USELESS! That's why no one fucking likes you!" Bakura hissed through clenched teeth as he took a step closer to Ryou and backhanded the boy so hard that Ryou fell to his left and clutch his cheek
"No one likes me because of you! I only have one friend because of you!" Ryou hissed back as tears slowly started falling down his cheeks, he could feel a harsh tugging in his heart as he stared up at Bakura who just slashed the knife in his left hand down over Ryous face just missing his right eye making the boy cry out
"Be fucking lucky you even have me around! You disgusting, vile unwanted little fuck!"
"H-how can you say that!?"
"Because it the truth Ryou! No one wants a wimpy little ass fuck like you around!" Bakura shouted coldly at Ryou as he grabbed the boy by his long hair and dragged him across the room towards his bed and threw him into it before giving the smaller teen a harsh swift kick to the ribs before crouching and pulling the boys head back, holding the knife against Ryous throat he slowly started cutting though not enough to kill him but enough to pierce the flesh and make his crimson liquid slip slowly down his torso as another harsh slash went across the boys shoulder. Ryou screamed out in pain as his face was forced harshly into the floor
"G-Get off me! B-Bakura! Get O-Off me!" Ryou screamed as tears fell down his cheeks silently as Bakura just growled darkly into the boys ear while he himself slowly pulled Ryous pyjama bottoms down, only making Ryou squirm and try to break free while Bakura unzipped his own jeans and forced his knee down onto the back of Ryous left leg
"Keep fucking still you pathetic wimp! You really want someone to love you so fucking much!? You can handle the pain of having a needle dragged over your flesh then you can handle what I am about to do you!" Bakura hissed violently as he pulled his slightly erected member from his tight jeans as he leaned over Ryous back and pulled his head back slightly while using the knife he still gripped and dragged it down over Ryous slowly healing chest cutting his flesh open, making Ryou scream loudly in pain as he tried squirming to get free only to have his head slammed into the floor nearly knocking him unconscious as Bakura forcefully and roughly pushed two digits into Ryous tight entrance making Ryou scream louder
"G-get off me! P-please Ba-Baku-ahh!"
"Why the fuck should I!? You want this so take it like the so called man you are!" Bakura shouted back as he roughly thrusted his digits into Ryou only making the boy tense and scream in sheer pain, though not stopping Bakura forced a third digit into Ryou and started scissoring him to stretch the boy wide enough to take his now throbbing erection. Slipping those three digits from Ryous tight entrance Bakura groaned lowly before harshly slamming into Ryou, a choked sobbed scream escaped Ryou throat, and tears falling rapidly down his cheeks as Bakura thrusted violently into him. Ryous loud pained screams echoed throughout the apartment while Bakura groaned in low pleasing echoes as he continued to thrust harshly into Ryou
"S-ST-STOP! P-please...S-Stop! It h-hurts!" Ryou screamed out in full tears as he tried turning his head to the side only to receive a harsh punch to the side of the head making the boy yelp, Continuing to harshly and violently slam into Ryou Bakura felt himself near his end as he groaned lowly and let himself go, and releasing his hot seed deep into Ryou as he steadied himself and pulled back letting his now flaccid member go limp as he released Ryou pushing the boy harshly into the floor. Putting himself away Bakura stood up and kicked Ryou a final time before turning and walking out of the shivering and crying boys' room, leaving Ryou in a crying, bloodied mess on the floor. Curling up into a seemingly protective ball Ryou cried himself to sleep even though it was only 9pm in the evening.
As the night went on and the clock ticked 3am, Bakura stood in the doorway to Ryous bedroom. Seeing his Hikari curled up crying in his sleep and on the floor still in the same mess he was left Bakura sighed, he had 30 bottles of beer in him as he stumbled into Ryous room and crouched beside Ryous shaking body and carefully lifted him up bridal style and set him slowly onto the his bed. Then sitting beside him Bakura looked down at Ryou as he whispered lowly
"Why the fuck are you still here Ryou? All I do is hurt you, fuck sake I raped you and I bet you will still be here when I wake up" Bakura whispered in a drunken slur as he stood up and left the bedroom to collect the first aid kit and a small cup of water, entering Ryous bedroom again he set the cup down as he opened the first aid kit and took out the antiseptic wipes and some bandages and carefully attempted to clean up Ryous new wounds while trying not to wake the sleeping boy. An hour later Bakura just sat there staring down at Ryou, looking at the state of the only male in the world that had the most perfect of unmarred flesh, that was until he got a hold of him. Standing slowly Bakura leaned over Ryou and placed a small kiss upon the boys cheek as he walked out of the bedroom leaving two Advil on the side with a cup of water as Bakura stumbled down to his own bedroom and passed out on his bed in his drunken state.
Groaning in a great pain Ryou weakly rolled over and hissed in sheer pain as he slowly and carefully sat up as he looked around the room, noticing he was in bed he glanced around his bed and couldn't see Bakura anywhere, sighing in relief Ryou glanced at the clock, 7:45am. He had 45minutes before Bakura would be awake and wanting his breakfast, noticing the cup of water and two pain killers he quickly took them as he stumbled painfully out of bed wincing in pain as he stumbled into the bathroom and took a very quick shower, Ryou then stumbled back into his room and got himself in his lose jeans and a baggie tee-shirt and slipped his white and blue trainers on as he rummage through his drawer and reached for his diary, writing down quickly the events of the night before Ryou felt more tears stinging his eyes as they slipped down his cheeks. Wiping his eyes Ryou left his book on the bed as he quickly and carefully walked out of his room and silently walked along the hallway seeing Bakuras bedroom open Ryou peeked in to see Bakura sleeping soundly, feeling more tears falling down his cheeks Ryou dashed down the stairs as he missed his step and fell down the final step. Hissing in pain Ryou dragged himself to his feet as he quickly prepared and cooked breakfast for Bakura when he heard a loud groaning, feeling his heart breaking and more tears falling down his cheeks Ryou dished up Bakuras breakfast and made him a black coffee and left it on the table as he slowly walked towards the front door grabbing his coat and his keys as he opened the front door and stepped out, hearing Bakura calling his name he froze and glanced over his shoulder and slammed the front door closed as he dashed down the road trying to fight back his tears. Reaching the local park Ryou pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialled Mariks number as he just let his tears fall down his cheeks
"H-Hello?" A groaned voice sounded as Ryous breath hitched in his throat as he tried swallowing the lump in his throat
"M-Marik?"
"Yeah this is Marik, Is that you Ryou?"
"Y-Yeah, Did I wake you?"
"Yeah, what is up?"
"Can we meet up? Like now please?"
"Yeah where are...Hold on...Mariku get the house phone you lazy fuck!" Marik hissed as a loud groan sounded from beside him as Marik turned back to his call, "As I was saying where are you?"
"I am at the local park, I'm about 15minutes from the mall"
"Ryou walk down to the museum, I will meet you there, hold on" Marik said softly as he looked over at his boyfriend, "Mariku what is up?"
"Bakura wants me to go over, he sounds drunk to be honest. Is that Ryou?"
"Yeah"
"Ask him if Bakura was drunk this morning"
"Sure...Ryou was Bakura drunk this morning?"
"N-no...n-not that I...know off..." Ryou hiccupped weakly as tears started falling down his cheeks again as he tried once again to swallow the lump in his throat
"Ry are you crying!?"
"Y-Yeah"
"Right get to the museum I will meet you in 20minutes" Marik said and hung up as he turned to Mariku and growled lowly, "IF Fluffy has hurt Ryou I will kill him! Ryou is in the local park crying!"
"What do you mean?"
"Ryou wants me to go meet him, he heading to the museum so get up and tell that bastard he dead if he has hurt Ryou!" Marik hissed coldly as he jumped out of bed and quickly pulled on some trousers and his favourite lilac tank.
As Marik hung up Ryou started crying again and ran as fast as he could over to the museum, he knew Marik only lived about 5minutes from the museum though he didn't know which way, as he reached the museum Ryou walked over to a bench and tried to sit down as he pulled his knees to his chest and waited for his best friend. Though not waiting long Ryou glanced up when he thought he heard his name being shouted, turning to his right Ryou saw Marik and Mariku running towards him as he wiped his eyes and tried to smile
"S-sorry for waking you"
"Don't worry about it, Mariku has to go over to yours anyway. Fluffy rang us up when you were on the phone. Mariku thinks he is drunk" Marik explained as Ryou just shrugged, Marik then gave his boyfriend a quick kiss and turned to face Ryou as Mariku walked off in the direction of the Bakura house hold, "So what is up Ry?"
"C-Can we go somewhere not so public?"
"Of course, let's go back to mine and I will get you a nice hot tea and some toast because I am starving and want food" Marik said helping Ryou to his feet and they linked arms and walked back down the road Marik had just come from.
Once arriving at Marik and Marikus apartment Ryou removed his coat and followed Marik into the living area as Marik told him to make himself comfy, Ryou nodded as he tentatively walked over to the plush purple couch and slowly eased himself down as Marik came back into the living area with two cups in his hands. Noticing Ryous discomfort instantly he sighed as he sat beside his friend and handed the boy a hot cup of sweet tea, Ryou then thanked his friend softly and sipped at his tea as he heard the microwave ding
"About time, melted cheese sandwich okay?"
"Y-yeah, thank you Marik" Ryou said lowly as Marik stood up and went back into the kitchen, Ryou then tried sitting back as he winced painfully though tried hiding it when Marik returned with one plate with several melted cheese sandwiches on. Sitting back down beside Ryou Marik placed the plate between them as he turned to face Ryou as he smiled weakly
"So what is wrong Ryou? I've never known you to cry"
"B-Baku-" Ryou started as he broke back down into tears, Marik sighing moved the plate out of the way and pulled Ryou into a tight embrace as Ryou winced and yelped in pain as Marik stared at him wide eyed
"R-Ryou what is wrong?"
"B-Bakuras been beating me" Ryou whispered through sobs as tried wiping the tears away before continuing, "He threatened to kill me if I told anyone...a-and last n-night...he r-raped me" Ryou said bursting out into tears again as Marik pulled him into his embrace trying to calm his best friend down while clenching his fist, but not saying anything and just stayed silent holding his best friend tightly until he felt Ryou go limp in his arms, looking down at Ryou instantly he noticed Ryou had cried himself to sleep in his arms. Sighing deeply Marik carefully moved out of Ryous grip and laid the boy down on the couch and grabbed for a blanket to throw over the sleeping yet shaking form, just as he was about to pull the blanket over his friend he noticed several healing knife wounds and gasped in shock. Crouching beside his best friend he slowly lifted Ryous tee-shirt and paled when he noticed a fresh slash against his chest and even his throat, dropping the blanket Marik ran up to his room and grabbed his cell phone as he dialled Marikus number as he paced the bedroom clenching his free hand as low growls escaped his throat waiting for Mariku to answer his phone
"Hello?"
"Mariku you took your frigging time!"
"Chill Marik, my phone was in my coat pocket. What is wrong?"
"That bastard! He has been beating Ryou! That sick fuck raped his own Hikari! I swear I will fucking kill him Mariku! Ryou is covered in old and new slashes over his arms, torso and even his frigging throat! I don't want Ryou going home he is staying with us!" Marik shouted down the phone as he to felt a lump in his throat and broke down on the phone to his boyfriend, something he has never done
"Marik calm down, I haven't forgotten to ask Bakura if Ryou can sleep the weekend. As for dinner tonight anything is good"
"What the fuck!? Is Bakura there!?"
"Yeah sort of look go and spend the day with Ryou and go shopping. You can use my card it's in the top drawer of my bedside table and I will see you when I get home"
"I swear Mariku he is fucking dead!" Marik hissed and hung up as he through his cell phone across the bedroom as it hit the wall, clenching both his fists Marik stormed out of his bedroom and down to the spare room to make sure it was clean. After making the bed Marik walked into the bathroom and started running a hot clear water bath when he heard Ryou calling him, running from the bathroom and along the hallway Marik practically jumped down the stairs and back into the living area to see Ryou sitting up slowly, "What is wrong Ry? I was just making a bath for you"
"O-oh...Y-you don't have to...I should get home or Bakura will throw a fit"
"You are going to have a nice relaxing bath here, because you are staying the weekend"
"B-Bakura won't allow that, he hates it when I don't go home"
"Trust me you are staying here the night, come on up stairs you are going for a bath to relax your muscles, no doubt you are feeling stiff and are in a lot of pain"
"Y-yeah I am...Thanks M-Marik" Ryou whispered as he took Mariks extended hand and slowly pulled himself to his feet as he let Marik help him up to the bathroom, once there Marik got out several towels and placed them on the counter with a faint smile
"Just give me a shout if you need anything, there's shampoo and conditioner there and soap there" Marik said pointing out the separate items as he turned and left closing the door behind him. Ryou sighed weakly as he weakly removed his top and removed his jeans and boxers and placed them on the side as he slowly started removing his bandaging, he was thankful the bandaging where wash-able as he placed them down with his clothes as he slowly and weakly stepped into the hot water and lowered himself into the hot steaming water as he winced and cried out quietly in pain.
Later that night Ryou was curled up on the plush purple couch sleeping while Marik ran his fingers through Ryous long silky white hair, sighing deeply Marik flicked through the channels when he heard the front door opening. Looking up he saw Mariku walk in with a duffer bag and sly smirk touching his lips
"Ryou is staying the weekend"
"Thank you Mariku" Marik whispered lightly as Mariku dropped the duffer bag beside the couch and crouched down beside his boyfriend as he watched Ryou sleeping
"How bad is the damage and does Ryou know you have told me?"
"It scarred his body Mariku, and he has no clue I told you, later after dinner and we all have showers come up and look for yourself" Marik whispered as Ryou slowly stirred, Mariku nodded and kissed Mariks head as he walked into the kitchen and made a round of drinks. While Mariku was making drinks Marik kept his eye on Ryou as he stirred and sat up slowly stretching as he looked up at Marik
"S-Sorry...I f-feel asleep again"
"Don't apologise to me Ryou, you needed it. Anyway Marikus home and making drinks, then we can think of something for dinner"
"M-Marikus home?"
"Yep, it is 6pm Ryou"
"D-Does he..."
"No, I haven't told him Ryou and I won't unless you want me to"
"P-please don't Marik" Ryou whispered weakly as Mariku walked in carrying two cups, Ryou glanced up at Mariku and smiled brightly. Mariku returned his smile and handed him a fresh cup of sweet tea, taking it Ryou said his thanks as he sat back and relaxed a little, "M-Marik could I have another bath please?"
"Of course you can Ry" Marik replied softly gently ruffling the boys hair as he stood up and walked towards the stairs and headed up them as Mariku sat beside Ryou
"You okay Ryou?"
"Y-Yeah, just really t-tired"
"Well Bakura said you could stay the weekend, he didn't say why but he seemed distraught about something. He practically begged me to let you stay the weekend, so because I was planning on taking Marik to the club tomorrow night you will be joining us okay?"
"A...C-club? B-but I would n-never get in"
"Of course you will, you will be with me" Mariku said softly as Ryou nodded weakly and glanced at the time sighing, "Ryou have you eaten anything?"
"Y-yeah...me and Marik ate some melted cheese sandwiches this morning"
"Okay, fancy pizza for dinner?" Mariku asked as Ryou turned to look at him and nodded, Mariku smiled gently as Marik came back down and explained that the bath was ready for Ryou, so Ryou dragged himself to stand up and carried his cup of sweet tea up to the bathroom. Once there Ryou closed the door and sighed deeply as he once again got undressed and slipped into the bath, hissing through clenched teeth Ryou winced as he laid back and ducked his head under the water. Slowly running his fingers through his hair Ryou sighed weakly as he slowly sat up and glanced around the bathroom, and pulled his knees into his chest as more tears fell silently down his pale cheeks. Sitting there for what seemed like hours, Ryou let a breathy sigh escape his throat as he closed his eyes and rested his head on his knees when he was brought from his thoughts
"Ryou are you alright?"
"Y-Yeah"
"You've been in there nearly an hour and half, can I come in?" Marik asked resting his head on the door when he heard the water in the bath splashing around
"Y-Yeah" Ryou replied weakly as he wrapped a towel around his slender lithe waist as the door opened, keeping his back to Marik for fear of his best friend even feeling disgusted in the way he looked he let a low sigh escape his lips as he turned slightly to see Marik staring at him in fear and sadness filled Ryous eyes
"How frigging many is there!?"
"A-All over" Ryou whispered weakly as Marik stepped closer and pulling his best friend into his arms holding him tightly
"What has that frigging bastard done to you Ry?"
"I-it's b-because I am r-revolting"
"No you aren't Ryou! You are absolutely adorable plus you have a great figure, Bakuras just a sick twisted fuck" Marik hissed coldly as he buried his face into Ryous shoulder holding him securely as footsteps walked along the hallway
"Nah everything is fine, Ryou is in the bath at the moment...Yeah I was thinking of taking Marik with me...oh rig-"Mariku froze in the door way as his eyes fell upon the two males before him, Ryou in only a towel covered from throat to ankle in old and new slashes and Marik holding him tightly, "Bakura let me call you back...no everything fine...Yeah Mariks prancing around the living room in just a tee-shirt...Yeah chat later" Mariku said hanging up as he stared at the two boys holding each other, "What the fucks going on in here?" Mariku hissed lowly as Ryous eyes widened and he pushed Marik away and turned around to quickly grab his trousers as Marik turned and hissed coldly
"You could of bloody knocked Mariku!"
"I heard you shouting while I was talking to Baku-" Mariku paused as he noticed the slash to the side of Ryous throat and the uneasiness of Ryou trying to pull his Jeans on, "Ryou what happened?"
"I-It's nothing M-Mariku"
"Like fuck it's nothing!" Mariku said walking over to Ryou and grabbing his wrist and pulling him gently into the spare room and making the boy stand by the bed, "Show me EVERYTHING" Mariku growled in displeasure as he turned to Marik, "Get the First aid kit" Marik nodded and ran off as Ryou slowly pushed his jeans down, revealing several new slashes to his thighs and the recently acquired bruises littering his normally perfect unmarred flesh, "Did Bakura do this?" Ryou just stared at the floor not answering when he heard Mariku sigh in exasperation, "Ryou did Bakura do this? Yes or no? Tell me please"
"Y-Yes"
"Why? And I want the truth Ryou"
"B-Because...t-there's loads of r-reasons...t-that night y-you stayed...h-he done t-this..." Ryou whispered choking on tears forming as he pointed to his wrists and chest, "He done these the following day because I w-was late home" Ryou pointed to several more wounds on his body, he then went on to explain each one until the last set, and by that time Ryou was in tears sobbing into Marikus arms as Marik came in with the first aid kit
"Mariku we're out of scar gel"
"I will go get some in a second, just go make Ryou a hot drink" Mariku stated as Marik nodded and left the room, "Ryou what about this one and this one not to mention the one on your throat?"
"L-Last night...a-after you left I t-think...I was g-getting ready for...b-bed and h-he just attacked me...asking me a-about this" Ryou said trying to hold back his tears and failing as he indicated to the tattoo, "H-he then beat me up...a-and he...d-dragged me a-across the f-floor w-where he...ra-"
"Ryou stop, no more. That sadistic bastard maybe my best friend, but he has no right to do any of this to you, especially raping you" Mariku hissed as he pulled off his own baggie tee-shirt and handed it to Ryou, "Here put this on for now and sit down stairs on the couch till I get back" Ryou nodded as Mariku helped Ryou into his tee-shirt and then picked him up bridal style and walked down stairs where Marik was waiting with a hot cup of cocoa. Mariku then carefully placed Ryou down on the couch and turned to Marik indicating silently that he was going out and to keep an eye on Ryou, Marik nodded and walked over to Ryou and sat down with him pulling the shaking crying boy into his arms holding him tightly. Sighing sadly as he watched the two males Mariku clenched his fist and walked out of the house, Ryou sighed to himself as he reached for his drink and sipped it slowly while Marik tried cheering him up with funny jokes.
About an hour later Mariku returned home to find Ryou and Marik sitting on the couching giggling and laughing about the time Marik and his psychopathic Yami got together, glancing up Marik smiled as Mariku walked over to the boys and smiled as he handed Marik his cell phone. Mariku then removed a tube of scar gel from his pocket and indicated for Ryou to follow him, nodding weakly Ryou stood up and slowly followed Mariku up stairs. Once in the spare room Mariku turned to Ryou and pointed to the bed
"Sit down if you can, so I can get those slashes sorted out for you and get the fresher ones wrapped up"
"T-thank you M-Mariku"
"Don't thank me Ryou, just be thankful that I haven't gone around to your apartment and slit that sick fucks throat"
"P-please don't! I...S-still love him" Ryou whispered as tears filled his eyes
"You love that sick fuck after everything he has done?"
"I d-do...I c-can't help it...I d-don't have a-anyone, he is t-the person I h-have left...I'd rather h-he hate me and b-beat me than l-leave me"
"Ryou, don't take this offensive. But you are one little Masochistic Angel you know that? But if you can say you still love that bastard after all this then you got balls" Ryou nodded as he eased himself down onto the bed and let Mariku clean up and coat his pale flesh in the clear gel like cream into his scars before wrapping up the two slashes at the front of his torso as well as his throat, "Oh I didn't know what to bring you, so I just brought your black skinny Jeans"
"T-thank you...t-they'll be f-fine"
"Okay, I moved your book to the side as well"
"M-My book?" Ryou asked tilting his head to the side as he pulled on his jeans after Mariku turned his back to let him get dressed
"Yeah that black leather covered one, it was sat on your bed so I closed it and placed it on your bedside table"
"T-that...oh no...B-Bakura c-can't read that...it's my d-depression d-diary" Ryou whispered as Mariku turned to stare at the boy
"Your diary? Fuck sorry little one I left it on the side"
"I...H-hope he don't read it" Ryou said weakly as he looked up at Mariku who smiled down at him, Ryou then followed Mariku down the stairs where Marik was waiting with their dinner which only made Ryou realise how hungry he was. Sitting down the three ate and spoke of anything and everything that didn't involve Bakura so Ryou could try to be more at ease. Once the three had eaten Ryou yawned softly as Mariku noticed Ryou was slowly falling asleep, sighing he stood up and gently picked Ryou up Bridal style and carried him up to the spare room with Marik following with the duffer bag as Mariku placed Ryou gently down on the spare double bed and covered him with the quilt
"Mariku...w-what are we going to do? Ryou can't go home what if Bakura kills him next time?"
"I know Marik, I will think of something. If Ryou is up for it tomorrow I have a plan, tomorrow we will plan and Sunday you are both coming to the club with me. I won't touch Bakura I promised Ryou, but it doesn't stop me getting that fuck drunk and letting Ryou get Revenge. He needs a taste of his own medicine used against him"
"Ryou getting revenge? Ryou is too shy to do that sort of thing"
"Nothing bad, just get Ryou a little tipsy and give the boy a knife and point him in the direction of an extremely drunk Bakura. I am sure Ryou will do what he needs to" Mariku stated as he took Marik back down stairs to the living area where they sat down talking about ideas for Ryou to get Revenge.
