Ryous Point of View
Are you all ready for some more? I see there is more of you, however I shouldn't have to warn you, as I see familiar faces amongst you all. Now then, I will fast forward through a fair bit of time, I am sure you don't want to hear much about what happened between myself and Mariku. So I will just skip it, but know that we did become very close, much to Florences, Touzukos and Ryos liking. But never mind, shall I now continue? Good.

I groaned lowly to myself while entering my tomb, I had been out doing my usual job, and had returned to my tomb like I did every night; however, this time was different. When I entered to the section my body was laid to rest, I froze upon the steps. My grave had been dug up, someone had dug up my grave, and while I had been out doing my job as Deaths right Hand. Growling lowly I clenched my fists as I stormed towards my now opened grave, stilling as I gazed down into the open grave to see only my body laying there, and Bakuras remains missing. I literally saw red as I clenched my fists tightly and stormed towards the hidden doorway, as I passed through the stone wall to enter my chambers in Hell; however, when I got there Ryo was curled up sleeping upon my bed, while both Touzuko and Florence were sat at the end playing a game of some sort, and this only caused me to growl much louder.
Storming towards the two elder succubus demons, I punched them both as hard as I could, before grabbing for Florences long dirty white main, and slammed him into the floor,
"Where is he!?" I shouted darkly, raising my fist, "What have you done to his body!?"
"W-What!?" Florence stuttered out, as I slammed my fist into his face, "I didn't do anything!"
"Don't fucking lie to me! Where is Bakuras body!?" I shouted, as I felt Touzuko grab my wrist, "GET OFF OF ME!" I shouted,
"Master! What are you talking about? Masters departed Fiancée is in Masters grave" Touzuko stated, while trying to drag me off of Florence,
"No he isn't! Where have you put him Florence!?" I shouted, venom now lacing my words, as Florence stared at me with fear in his eyes,
"Master... I haven't touched him" He stated lowly, as he ran out of the room,
"LIAR!" I shouted, as Touzuko forced me to stare at him,
"Master, please, calm down and tell me what happened" Touzuko stated, trying to calm me down as Ryo stirred,
"Bakura... Bakura..." I whispered lowly, before seeing worry laced emerald green eyes staring at me, "His body... it's gone... it isn't in my grave..."
"What do you mean? It was there earlier" Touzuko stated, as he glanced towards Ryo and gave him a silent request,
"Its gone... Bakura... My Bakura is gone" I stated, clenching my fists, as I noticed Ryo vanish,
"Master, look at me" Touzuko spoke up calmly, this was why I liked him, he kept his calm even when I was seething with rage, "Now, tell me what you mean, that your departed Fiancées remains are gone"
"My grave-" I was interrupted as Ryo reappeared back in my room,
"Masters Grave has been dug up!" He exclaimed before flying at me and Touzuko while crying,
"What!?" Touzuko exclaimed, "Master, I can assure you, it wasn't Florence, he has been with me, all night. And Ryo has been sleeping" He states calmly,
"I was with Mariku... he was keeping me company while I worked" I whispered, as I stared up at Touzuko,
"Lets find Florence, Master you should apologise to Florence. We all know he resembles your fiancée, but he isn't guilty" Touzuko explained while rubbing my back.
I could only nod, as I rubbed at my eyes. Three months after we had buried Bakuras body with my own, Ryo caught Florence trying to dig my grave up, and Florence even admitted that he didn't want my grave with my body being so close to the one responsible for my fate. Of course, I automatically assumed he was the one responsible for desecrating my grave, and I had been wrong I even attacked him for no reason. I sighed deeply as I pulled myself from Touzuko and Ryo, as I explained I would go find Florence to apologise, but before that I was going to go speak with Death; which to be fair I didn't want to admit I had placed another body with my own, and I had managed to keep it a secret. Sighing deeply to myself, I left my room and entered the throne room.
As I walked towards Deaths throne, I clenched my fists before unclenching them, and glanced up to stare at Death; however, as I stared at him, I noticed the outline of a body sitting in the throne resigned for myself, and this pissed me off as I walked closer. The closer I got to Death, I noticed the body in my throne was my departed Fiancées. My eyes widened as I stared at Death, asking silently for an explanation,
"You have betrayed me, Ryou" Deaths Raspy voice sounded, causing me to shiver, "When were you going to tell me, that you dug your own grave up, and placed the body of this traitor in your own grave?" He snarled at me, as I gulped lowly,
"I... why would you dig my grave up?" I asked him, I wanted to know why, "I was unable to rest knowing he was out there somewhere"
"You had no right to bring this traitor to your grave" Death hissed at me, causing me to narrow my eyes,
"He wasn't a traitor! He was drugged!" I shouted, clenching my fists, as I felt three devil presences behind me, "You had no right to dig him back up! Let him rest!"
"Ryou, you have betrayed me, and you have even failed me" Death stated, as he stood up, "You will be punished for your crimes against me" He stated, as the fires of Hell rose from the ground, as I watched in horror as Bakuras body was burnt,
"NO! BAKURA!" I shouted, tears of blood falling down my cheeks, "WHY!?" I shouted loudly,
"This is your punishment!" Death shouted at me, as I was suddenly surrounded with the fires of Hell, "You will be sent to the deepest parts of Hell, Ryou Bakura. To live out the remainder of your hours"
"NO! I won't let you!" I shouted, as I dropped to my knees, the flames surrounded my form, causing me to scream out in sheer pain, "YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!"
"What makes you think you are strong enough to best me?" Death asks, almost sounding smug, and causing me to completely snap.
I could feel my anger pulsating within my body, the fires of Hell began licking at my body, and fuelling my anger even more than I had ever thought; however, as my anger fuelled my eyes widened as I bowed my body forward, and screamed out in sheer pain as I felt the flesh upon my back beginning to tear before ripping open. Screaming out in pain as the fires of Hell licked up the sides of my body, as two thick black wings ripped out of my back spreading out to about a good six feet wide, and causing me to grit my teeth while dragging myself to my feet; which ripped startled gasps from the three devils behind me, however I only had one being in my sight, Death himself. Growling darkly towards Death, I spread my arms out as I screamed at a high pitched sound, before lifting off of the ground, and flew directly into Death as I pulled my right hand back; which I lunged forward, connecting my fist to Deaths face as I was surrounded in a thick black mist, causing me to begin laughing darkly,
"You will never rule over Hell again!" I hissed out venomously, my voice changing slightly as I grasped at Deaths face, "Time to vanish, you worthless piece of fucking shit!"
"No, Ryou stop this!" Deaths voice sounded, though it seemed weaker than normal,
"DIE!" I shouted venomously, while crushing his skull into pieces, before black smoke surrounded me, "I rule fucking Hell now! If you have a fucking problem with that, then go fuck yourselves!" I hissed out venomously, while turning on my heel to stare at the succubus devils.
However, not one of them spoke, as they all dropped down to one knee and bowing their heads at me. I smirked darkly at their reactions, before I turned my back to them to stare at the charred remains of my fiancée. I couldn't let him stay like that, I slowly walked towards the throne he had been situated in, and carefully picked up the blackened body; however as I turned to leave the throne room, I noticed Florence was the only one still kneeling upon the floor, while Ryo and Touzuko were now standing beside the door to my room, and opened the doors for me allowing me to walk towards it. I sensed Florence crawling across the floor behind me, while Ryo sniffed as I walked past him before Touzuko pulled him into his arms and murmur something lowly to him; however I didn't hear what he said, my attention was focused upon taking the charred remains of my dead fiancée back towards my grave, and as I walked through the stone doors I noticed Florence was still following behind me.
I ignored him at first as I walked towards my grave, before I slowly placed Bakuras remains back into my grave, and as I stood back up I heard a startled gasp; which caught my attention as I glanced towards the sound, to see Mariku staring at me wide eyed, and causing me to narrow my eyes before turning to face Florence before speaking,
"Put the dirt back into my grave, you have twenty minutes!" I hissed venomously, causing Florence to yelp fearfully before he scurried towards my opened grave, and began returning all the dirt as I turned back to Mariku, "Why are you here?"
"Ryou? I came to spend a few hours here" Mariku explained as he glanced towards Florence, before returning his eyes back to my own, "Ryou, what happened? You look different now"
"Hmm, do I now?" I hiss, as I step towards Mariku, "That bastard, Death. He dug up Bakuras body, and set him alight" I state coldly, as I stepped closer and closer to Mariku,
"Why would he do that?" Mariku asked, fear lacing his words,
"How the fuck would I know!?" I asked venomously, before dropping to my knees, "I done everything that bastard wanted, and how does he treat me? He digs up my dead fiancée, and threatens to punish me by burning his body with the flames of Hell"
"That is sick" Mariku stated, as he stepped closer to my body, and crouched down while reaching a hand out to me, "Ryou, what happened to Death?"
"I killed him... my anger over took me... it pulsated within my body" I stated staring up into Marikus eyes, "I couldn't stop myself... I almost lost Bakura again... I couldn't bare the thought of never being able to feel his presence again"
"Ryou, look me cleanly in the eye, and tell me what happens now" Mariku asks as I stare up into his eyes,
"I... I will become the new Death" I state lowly, as I felt cool yet loving arms around my shoulders, "I will rule over Hell, and become the new Death" I state simply, before purring echoes around my head,
"M-Master... I'm sorry for making you angry at me" Florence whispers lowly beside my ear, while tightening his arms around my shoulders, "Please don't be angry at me"
"Florence right?" I hear Mariku ask, as I stare at Mariku while I feel Florence shift and nod slowly, "Would you let me talk to Ryou alone?"
"No!" Florence hisses venomously, tightening his grasp around my body, "I'm not leaving Death behind!"
"Florence..." I whisper lowly, as I turn my head slightly to my left to stare at the side of Florences profile, "I will be fine... please give me some time with Mariku, I need to be here for a while" I state simply causing Florence to turn and stare at me,
"But Master Death" Florence whispers before sighing, "Fine... We will be waiting in your room, for your orders" Florence states before pressing his lips against my own, and causing me to sigh before Florence pulls back and vanishes.
I sigh deeply as I turn back to face Mariku, however, as I do my vision goes black before collapsing onto the floor, and the last thing that I vaguely remembering hearing is Mariku shifting closer to me, while telling me to sleep for a while to regain my strength.
XxxxxX
I cannot tell you how long I had been asleep, I can tell you that I destroyed the previous death exactly one year after I had buried Bakuras remains into my grave. However, I felt a heavy weight upon my body, causing me to stir as I opened my eyes slowly, and was greeted by the thick greyish white long unruly main of Florence. He was curled up beside my body, with his head upon my shoulder, and seemingly sleeping while his hands gripped at my top; which I sighed lowly at, before raising my left arm slightly to stroke Florences head, and causing him to shift closer to my body before stirring himself. I released another sigh, before glancing briefly around the room I was in, and realizing I was in my bed chambers in Hell. Groaning lowly to myself I glanced back down at Florence to see him staring up at me,
"Please don't be angry at me" He whispered lowly, his mischievous tail curled around my thigh before he snuggled into my shoulder,
"What happened?" I asked lowly, as I shift slightly and pulling Florence closer, loving his submissive side,
"You... You killed our father, because he desecrated your grave" Florence stated staring up at me, "He removed your dead Fiancées body, and even used the fires of Hell to punish you by burning his remains" He continued before sighing,
"I remember..." I whisper, before slowly pushing Florence back as I sit up, "How long has it been?" I ask as I turn to stare at Florence,
"Almost three months, Master Death" I hear Touzuko state, causing me to snap my eyes towards my bedroom door, and standing there was Touzuko and Ryo, "Mariku stayed with you for about four hours that day, before calling out our names for help"
"Oh... that must have caused you all some trouble" I state lowly before stretching my arms above my head, "Sorry about that"
"You don't have to apologise!" Florence shouted, causing me to glance at him, "You have a right to cause us trouble! It is your right to treat us how you see fit!"
"Florence..." I begin to speak before I am interrupted from continuing,
"Master Death, Florence is right" Touzuko stated as he walked closer to my bed, "With you now being the new ruler of Hell, we are nothing but your puppets. Our only purpose is to serve you, no matter what that means for us"
"I could never... I couldn't do that" I state as I stare at Touzuko, "You three. Have been there for me, and kept me company. You three understand me, I care for all of you" I explain causing for all three to stare at me wide eyed, "I may never be able to truly love again, but still, deep down I do feel something akin to love for all of you. Without you all, I don't know what I would do"
"Master Death" Touzuko murmured, as I held my hand up,
"Let me finish, please" I stated as I shifted to lean against the headrest of my bed, and indicated for Touzuko and Ryo to come sit down on my bed, "Since coming here, to become Deaths right Hand, and having you three presented to me as toys; I knew deep down I would need all three of you, you all do something for me, that I need in my life" I explained before sighing, "Ryo. You maybe the youngest, but I chose to keep you with me, and that was simply because I use to be like you. I was once a shy person, who hide behind my darker half, who was my Yami. I always had someone to run to, to have someone else protect me because I couldn't protect myself, and when I saw you for that first time-" I paused briefly, to chuckle lowly, "I wanted my old life back, its why I told you on that day, you could be my teddy bear, and that I would never hurt you or taint you, because you reminded me of myself from when I was younger" I stated, as I noticed tears forming within Ryos eyes, and caused him to fly at me as he sobbed into my chest,
"Master" He hiccupped while clinging to me, as he spoke lowly, "Thank you... Master Ryou"
"Don't thank me, Ryo" I state lowly while stroking his head, before I turned to look at Touzuko, "Touzuko. Did you know, you had the same name as my departed Fiancée?" I asked him, causing him to stare wide eyed at me,
"No, I did not" He spoke, as he rubbed that back of his neck,
"Yeah, his name was Touzuko Bakura. However, thousands of years ago, he was known as the King of thieves, and you and him had the same appearance. You have the same aura he use to have when his spirit was trapped within something called the Millennium Ring, he was once my Yami, my darkness and always use to protect me" I explained before releasing a low dry humoured laugh, "You are stern with me, and you have guided me in the choices I have made, you have even stood beside me when I needed you. That was why when I first saw you, I knew you would be a good keep, someone I could turn to when I needed someone to talk to, and you gave me that, including being the perverted bastard you are" I stated with a chuckle, causing him to flush slightly,
"You don't need to be so modest with me, Master Death" Touzuko stated, as he crawled closer, and ruffled my hair, "But as with Ryo, Thank you, and before you tell me not to thank you, you need to accept thanks when it is due, and you should accept the praises Ryo gives you" He explains to me, causing me to sigh deeply and nodding,
"I will try, but I won't promise it" I stated simply as I shifted Ryo, "Please, will you lay down?" I ask softly,
"Yes Master" Ryo spoke up, as he shifted and laid beside his eldest brother,
"Thank you, Ryo" I whisper, before shifting so I was sat on the edge of my bed, Where Florence had moved to sit on the floor, before I sighed deeply, "Florence"
"Don't..." He whispered before turning to stare up at me, fear laced his eyes, much like Bakuras had as I plunged that kitchen knife into his chest, "Don't praise me, I don't deserve it... I know you kept me because I look like him"
"No Florence, that isn't the only reason" I stated lowly, as I reached my hands out, causing Florence to wince before I lifted his bowed head to look up at me, "There was something else, that made me want to keep you around"
"How was there? All I do is make you angry!" He shouted, while clenching his fists, "Sorry"
"Florence, you are going to listen to me" I hiss at him, as I force his gaze to look back up at me, "When you first looked up at me, yes I did see Bakura for a split second. But when you growled at me, like you did. You ignited something inside of me. Yes you look like Bakura, you act like him, but I could never compare you with him" I started as I pulled Florence closer to my body, "Simply because you are not him, you gave me a reason to continue fighting, a reason to continue protecting Ryo, and most of all-" I pause as I rest my forehead to Florences, "Most of all, you gave me a reason to try and find what I gave away, to find all my forgotten emotions. Yes, you do piss me off beyond compare, more so than anyone or anything in this entire universe, and at the same time you make me happy to know you. Because I know, ever since I first gazed into your eyes, I knew you would never betray me, and would never turn your back on me"
"M-Master... I-" Florence began as I cut him off,
"Let me finish" I whispered, as I sighed deeply, "Because I had you around, Florence. I knew I could one day possibly fall in-love again, I knew you would help me find that feeling again, and to be honest I know that one day I will be able to say that I have found love. It would have all been because I had you around, someone who fights me every step of the way, and knows when I want them to submit or stay feisty. Without you, Florence, I wouldn't have had the strength to return to my old home, and I would have never of found Bakuras remains. I know you didn't want his remains with my human body, but I know you respected my wishes more than anything, and I also know that deep down inside of you, you fight everyday to keep up this façade of yours, because you feel that is what I want, but it isn't. I want the real you, the you that wants my attention, and not stubborn about it" I explained before sighing deeply, "I want you to tell me when you want my attention, and not be a stubborn bastard all the time. But at the same time I want you to be stubborn, because I know you want me to break you, and you know that I love breaking you. Without you around, Florence, I would become so bored here, and would have probably allowed Deaths curse to kill me. So Thank you, for being who you are, and being what I truly need" I finish as I stare into Florences wide, tear filled eyes,
"M-Master..." Florence chokes out, before allowing the tears in his eyes to fall down his cheeks, as he wraps his arms tightly around my waist, and burying his head in my lap, "Master... Thank... you"
"I need all three of you, you all mean something different to me, and for that I am grateful to have you all" I speak up, before sighing, "Don't you understand now, why I could never just use you as puppets, like that bastard did. Because unlike him, I do actually have a still beating heart, that still wants to love, and I want to be able to love. To be able to love you all"
"Master Ryou" Ryo whispers, as he shifts and crawls towards me, "We all love you, you are our master, and our saviour"
"Ryo is right, before you came here, Death kept us all locked up in a cage like cell, chained to the walls, and used us for his own sick pleasures" Touzuko explained causing me to stare towards him, "When you came here, we all knew that at least one of us would become free, and when you stated you wanted Ryo, I know Florence felt the same way I did. We were relieved you picked our youngest brother, because he was still pure, and I mostly, knew you wouldn't hurt him" Touzuko explained causing Ryo and Florence to look up at me,
"Exactly, that is why we all love you, with all our demonic Heart" They all said together, causing tears of blood to fall down my cheeks,
"Thank you, all of you" I whispered as I was literally dragged back onto my bed, and dived onto,
"You don't need to thank us" Touzuko stated simply, "It is us, that should thank you. So, Thank you Ryou"
"You... You used my real name" I stated, shock lacing my words as I looked at Touzuko,
"Because I have noticed, you tend to listen to Ryo more than myself and Florence, because he uses your real name" Touzuko stated before chuckling,
"Oh..." I whisper before chuckling also, as a low grumbling sounded into the room, "Ugh... seems I'm actually hungry"
"Not surprised, you have been out cold recovering for three months" Touzuko jested, before getting off of my bed, "I will get something prepared for you, would you like to eat in here, or in the throne room?"
"In here, bring enough for us all" I state with a weak smile, "We can all eat together for a change" I explained as Touzuko nodded before leaving my room.
XxxxxxX
After Touzuko had returned with food for us all, Ryo curled up beside me, while Florence took his seat between my thighs, and leaving Touzuko to shake his head as he sat beside Ryo. I can say I felt happy having them all there with me, Yeah sure I am a evil bastard, and now I was the new ruler of Hell; however, what I told them was true, they all mean so much to me, and without them I most likely would have let the curse the previous Death put upon me to take my life. I knew it was a curse, that this body would only last so long before dying, and of course he used my past to keep me alive. I use to be the biggest whore around before Bakura and I got together, I slept with whoever I wanted, and when I wanted, so it would have been fitting for a curse that would have forced me to sleep around. Chuckling Dryly after I finished eating, I released a low sigh before glancing around my room, and noticing how where there never use to be wardrobe in my room; however, now situated off to the right was a large wardrobe as I raised a curious brow,
"Where did the wardrobe come from?" I questioned as I noticed Ryo had fallen asleep with his head against my chest, and Touzuko had also fallen asleep,
"Touzuko" Florence spoke up, before shifting to lay on his stomach while resting his arms over my hips, with his chin rested against his crossed arms, "That suitcase of yours is in it, we never touch it so it still how you left it. This is the sixth time we have told you"
"Really? I must be losing my memory" I chuckled lowly, while reaching my hand down, and running my fingers through Florences hair, "Didn't I ever show you three what was inside?"
"Nope. You told us that if we touched it, you would kick our asses" Florence explained before purring lowly at me,
"Oh right, well help me shift Ryo and I will show you" I explained, causing Florence to grin up at me, as he crawled up my body to help me shift Ryo before he smirked and crushed his lips to mine.
I groaned lowly at the sudden kiss, before wrapping my arms around Florences neck, and pulling him closer to my body while slipping my right hand into his hair. I felt his body shiver against my body before his wings spread, indicating he was getting aroused, and causing me to push him back slightly,
"We can play later" I state as I sat up completely and lightly shoved Florence away from me, while climbing off of my bed and walking over to the wardrobe, "Now get your ass over here"
"Coming Master" Florence purred as he stalked towards me, causing me to shake my head and chuckle lowly,
"Right, sit there" I stated pointing to the floor as I opened the wardrobe doors, before pulling my suit case out, and laid it down while sitting on my knees, "I actually had a few gifts for you all, as I noticed none of you really wear anything except those leather bottoms, and I thought maybe you would all appreciate something else to wear"
"Really? But we are demons, we don't really need clothes" Florence stated, as he eyed me,
"Yeah well, I don't think I have the strength in me to shag you all multiple times a day every day" I stated with a chuckle, while opening my suit case, "Now where are they, I know they are in here, I specially packed them"
"Packed what?" Florence asked, as I smirked and tugged out a pair of belted black leather trousers, and a long sleeved black and red slashed top,
"This, is for you" I stated handing him the two items of clothing, "I will admit, it was my favourite outfit on Bakura, but they were a little to tight on him, they should fit you more perfectly" I explained with a smile,
"Really? But they belonged to him" Florence mumbled causing me to laugh,
"Actually, they are mine. Bakura just use to steal them from me, because he said they suited him better. But they are actually my clubbing clothing, I wore them out to night clubs" I explained before smirking, "Go on, try them on while I find choker that I wore with it"
"Okay, if you are sure" Florence stated lowly as he stood up, and glanced around,
"Just strip and change in here, I don't have enough stamina to jump you today" I stated causing Florence to flush as he did just that, he stripped in front of me and changed.
Snickering lowly as Florence got dressed into the leather trousers, I noticed how the belts had become slightly unfastened, and even fastened to the wrong buckles; which caused me to shake my head as Florence became frustrated in trying to do them up,
"Here, I'll do them" I stated as I shifted across the floor, and unfastened all the belts, before easily doing them all back up, while glancing up at Florence, "Are they tight enough?"
"Uh... Yeah" Florence mumbled while looking away from me, and causing me to chuckle,
"Are you blushing, Florence?" I tease, causing Florence to narrow his eyes and glare at me, his cheeks flamed crimson,
"No!" He hissed, causing me to once again chuckle, "Stop laughing at me"
"Florence, you are blushing, and I bet it because of where I am sitting" I stated as I gripped his hips slightly, and pulled him forward a few steps, "But I don't have it in me" I stated with a low purr, nuzzling my cheek against his groin, "Now, put the top on"
"Heh... uh... sure... Master" Florence whispered lowly as he stepped back from me, while grabbing the black long sleeved top and pulled it on over his head, before glancing at his own body while pulling the top down, "Is it on right?"
"Yes it is, and it really suits you, Florence" I stated, as I grabbed for the black choker I moved from my suit case to the floor, as I stood up while clutching it tightly, "Now close your eyes, and no peeking"
"Fine, whatever" Florence grumbled while crossing his arms over his chest, and closing his eyes.
Smiling lightly at his actions, I carefully wrapped my arms around Florences neck while fastening the choker, and then slowly stepping back before nodding at Florences appearance. Grinning I grabbed Florences wrist while telling him to keep his eyes closed, as I dragged him towards the wardrobe where I noticed a full length mirror upon the door, and stood Florence before it while standing behind him. Sighing softly I wrapped my arms around his waist as I whispered into his ear, that he could open his eyes as I watched his reflection. Florence slowly fluttered his eyes open while staring into the mirror, his beautiful red hued brown eyes widened slightly, as he stared at his reflection seemingly in awe; however, from the slight glint in his eyes I knew he liked what he saw, as he glanced towards my reflected face,
"I... I can have these? For keeps?" He asked, while raising his left hand to the choker, and running his fingers across the laced fabric that adorned the black leather,
"Yes Florence, I am giving them to you" I stated softly, while leaning up slightly and kissing his cheek, due to the fucker being a good few inches taller than me, "Think of it as a gift, from me to you"
"I... Thank you, Master Ryou" Florence spoke lowly, as he turned his body in my arms and hugged me tightly, causing me to chuckle,
"Come on, I have to see what I have that would fit Touzuko" I stated with a smile, as Florence nodded before licking my cheek, "I will get you for that" I hissed lowly as I shoved him playfully,
"No you wont" Florence replied before purring at me, as he followed me to sit back on the floor beside my suit case,
"Oh be quiet, and help me find something" I stated with a chuckle.
Florence sat with me for almost an hour, searching through all my clothes including the several outfits that had actually belonged to Bakura, and finally we found at least two different outfits Florence and myself thought would suit Touzuko; however, I had to slap Florences hands away from a black carrier bag I had in my suit case, while telling him that what was in that bag was something for Ryo when he woke up. Florence just whined before laying down on his back as I noticed his tail was wrapped around his waist, much like how Ryos tail had been wrapped around his own waist when I first met them all, 15 months ago, and of course this caused me to chuckle when a low groan echoed into my room. Me and Florence glanced at each-other, before turning to face the tired silvery grey blue eyes that were watching us. Of course I instantly burst out laughing, while Touzuko climbed off of my bed, and literally like an animal began sniffing at Florence; however Florence only growled and swiped at his brother, and causing me to shake my head. I then split them up while explaining to Touzuko, that I had brought gifts with me, and that I had completely forgotten all about them; which caused Touzuko to roll his eyes at me, before shifting closer to me.
I sighed out deeply, as I told Florence to go sit on my bed while I pointed out to Touzuko the two outfits I had picked out with Florences help, and explained he could pick one of the outfits; which he did as I explained he had to strip and change right were he stood, and of course as the obedient little pet he was, he stripped out of his black skin tight leather trousers, and began changing into the outfit he chose. The outfit he had picked out, had been a pair of hip hugging baggie jeans, and a short sleeved back t-shirt. One of my older outfits, when I actually weighted about the same as Bakura, now they were miles to big in the waist for me, and yet they were the perfect fit for Touzuko. He looked absolutely stunning, causing for even Florence to wolf whistle at his elder brother, and for me to chuckle while standing up from my seated position on the floor; as I walked over to Touzuko with my hands behind my back, while telling Touzuko to also close his eyes while winking at Florence, and then carefully and easily slipping my arms around his neck while fastening the choker that went perfectly with his outfit choice. The choker it self was a simple black leather choker, decorated in two centimetre studs, and a simple small looped ring in the center that could have a leash attached; however, this choker had been one of my more prized chokers, because back then I was a complete submissive, and now I am the dominate so I don't need this choker any more.
Smiling to myself, I grabbed Touzukos hands, and explained to him to keep his eyes closed, while I done with him as I had done with Florence, and led him over to the full length mirror before allowing him to open his eyes; however, as soon as Touzuko opened his eyes, he stared at his reflection for several moments before turning to face me,
"Master Death, you didn't have to give me these" Touzuko stated simply, as he stared at me,
"Well tough, they don't fit me any more anyway, and they suit you so much more better than they ever did me" I explained with a bright smile, "Now then, all I have to do is wait for Ryo to wake up"
"Oh? You have something for Ryo as well?" Touzuko asked, as Florence stalked towards us, "You know he won't accept anything"
"Oh he will, especially if he knows it will make me happy" I stated softly, as I glanced between Touzuko and Florence, "Oh piss off" I stated, as I ran around my bed, to get away from Touzuko and Florence,
"But we want to thank you properly" Florence purred, causing me to chuckle,
"Well tough, I don't want to be thanked until Ryo is awake!" I exclaimed while laughing, as I was suddenly grabbed by both Touzukos and Florences tails, "Seriously you two, put me down"
"At least, let us show you our appreciation" Florence and Touzuko purred at me, causing me to sigh and give up as they both wrapped me in their arms and nuzzled against my face,
"Are you done?" I tease, as I kiss both of their cheeks,
"Yeah I guess so" Touzuko stated lightly as he released me, "But what do you plan to give Ryo?"
"Oh, well you see" I began as I sighed deeply, "I had brought myself something for mine and Bakuras sixth month engagement anniversary, however I obviously never got the chance to wear it, and so I want Ryo to have it" I explained lowly as a sigh slipped from my lips,
"Can we see it?" Touzuko asked, while ruffling my hair,
"Not yet, I want Ryo to try it on first" I state with a bright smile, "So how about you go get me a bottle of Devils blood, along with a glass" I state to Touzuko causing him to blink,
"Of course, Master Death" Touzuko purred, kissing my lips lightly, before vanishing,
"You Florence" I state pointing at Florence who rose a curious brow at me, "Could you possibly go check on my grave?"
"Of course, I do every day anyway" Florence stated, as he pulled me into his chest, and crushed his lips against mine.
Groaning lowly at the sudden action, I wrap my arms around Florences neck, and pulled him closer to my body while a small moan slipped from my throat; which I am certain Florence noticed, as I felt him smirk against my lips before pulling back. His eyes sparkled slightly as he slowly released me, before turning on his heel, and sauntering towards the entrance of my grave while swaying his hips at me. Rolling my eyes for a moment, I glanced towards my suitcase, and snapped my fingers as I blinked before glancing at my reflection; where I noticed my body was no longer in the same black leather trousers I had been wearing, but now I was wearing a pair of my black leather trousers that had chains criss-crossing the groin, and my torso was now adorned in a matching black tight fitting long sleeved top just like the one I gave to Florence. Staring at my reflection for several moments, before I heard a small yawn sounding from my bed, and causing me to snap my eyes towards Ryo; however, as I did I noticed that the collar I had been wearing, was no broken. Well the silver angel wings were broken, causing me to sigh before gazing at Ryo,
"Hey sleepy head" I stated as I grabbed the bag from the top of my suit case, while sauntering over to my bed, "Sleep well?"
"I did, Master Ryou" Ryo stated happily, while stretching his arms above his head, "Where did you get those clothes from?"
"Oh, they were in my suit case I brought with me, remember? When you first met Mariku?" I asked, causing Ryo to gasp before nodding, "Well, I completely forgot to give you and your brothers a few gifts"
"Really?" Ryo asked, as he crawled towards me, just as Touzuko re-entered my room,
"Here you are Master Death" Touzuko stated, placing the bottle and the glass down,
"Thanks, can you join Florence by my grave please? And no peeking, me and Ryo will meet you there in about five or ten minutes" I state staring at Touzuko, who was actually flushing slightly, while his eyes roamed up and down my body,
"S-Sure" He stated before gulping, "Take your time" He muttered before quickly leaving my room, and causing me and Ryo to stare at each-other before laughing.
Spending a quick Five minutes, I managed to get Ryo to change for me, as I roamed my eyes over his slim form with a soft smile. His slim yet lean hips now adorned a pair of baggie styled black leather trousers, with a combination of both belts and chains, and his slim torso now adorned a red long sleeved top with a black underlay that was visible through the designer slash. Smiling appreciatively at how Ryo looked, I asked him to close his eyes, as I rummaged through the bag, and removed a two inch thick black choker; which had red ribbon laced through it, as well as a set of angel wings dangling from its center with the word 'Prince' situated between the wings. Smiling softly, I carefully tugged Ryo forward, while explaining he had to keep his eyes closed until I stated otherwise, and causing Ryo to nod shyly while I quickly slipped the choker around his neck; which I quickly fastened before standing Ryo in front of the mirror, while kissing his cheek as I whispered lowly,
"Open your eyes, my little prince" I stated, as I glanced my eyes towards his reflection, watching as he fluttered his eyes open,
"..." Ryo parted his lips to say something before closing his mouth again, while staring at his reflection intently as I noticed his pale cheeks slowly began to flush, as he turned to stare up at me, "Thank you Master Ryou!"
"You're welcome, Ryo" I stated as I felt Ryou bury his head in my shoulder, while wrapping his arms tightly around my waist, "Ryo?"
"I'm sorry" He whispered lowly, while staring into my eyes, "I-It's just... I've never been given anything nice before"
"Well, get use to it" I stated, as I cupped Ryos cheeks, wiping the several tears from his face, before kissing his lips lightly, "Now come on, I have a big surprise for you"
"Really? What is it, Master Ryou?" Ryo asked me happily, as he released his arms from around my waist and skipped over to the entrance of my grave,
"You will see" I stated, as I gathered up the three boxes hidden in my suit case, before walking over to Ryo, "Come on"
"Yeah!" Ryo explained as he took the boxes from my arms and skipped out into my resting place.
XxxxxxX
Chuckling lowly to myself while walking beside Touzuko, I watched as Ryo ran through the Domino City park, with Florence chasing him as they both laughed; however, pausing briefly I sat down upon a bench with Touzuko while watching Florence and Ryo run around the park while play fighting with each-other. I smiled lightly at the scene while shaking my head as leaned back upon the bench and closed my eyes. After I had joined with Touzuko and Florence beside my grave, I gave them each one of the boxes Ryo had taken from me, and explained to the three brothers that they needed what was inside otherwise I wouldn't take them out for a few hours. Florence had been a little moody about it, until he realised inside the box before him had been a pair of calf high black leather, chained boots. His expression was worth a million words, as he pulled the boots on, and began pacing around my resting place. Touzuko was wearing a pair of black boots that were also calf high, however they didn't have chains, and there laced unlike Florences that were zipped. Ryo however, I had given a pair of my first boots I ever got. They had been calf high, with flames up the outsides of the boots, and zipped up on the inside of the calf.
All three of them had once again pounced me, each giving me a long lingering deep and passionate kiss, before finally letting me sit up with a chuckle, and explained to them that I was taking them out into the human world; however they had to keep their tails and wings hidden from sight, they also had to behave while out in the human world, and if they did as they were told I would share my bed with all three of them tonight. So now I was sitting in the Domino city park with Touzuko, while Florence and Ryo ran around play fighting, and occasionally baiting myself and Touzuko to join; however I refused due to not being in control of my new powers, and I didn't want to accidently hurt any of them. Touzuko had explained to me, while we were watching the younger two, that since I have now become Death I would have more power than I had previously had, and would have to learn to control my new powers. Obviously that was easier said than done, but I guess I would learn, especially if I wanted to keep the three succubus brothers safe.
Glancing around the park for a moment, I sighed deeply to myself as I felt Touzuko place a hand upon my shoulder,
"Ryou, are you okay?" he asked me softly, while staring into my eyes,
"Yeah, I was just thinking" I stated softly, before shifting as I leaned into Touzukos chest,
"What about? If you don't mind my asking" Touzuko asked, while wrapping his arms around my waist,
"Oh just this and that" I stated with a chuckle while glancing towards Ryo and Florence who were running back over towards us, "Incoming"
"Huh?" Touzuko questioned as Ryo pounced onto us, while laughing,
"This is so much fun! Thank you Master Ryou!" Ryo exclaimed happily, causing me to smile before sighing,
"Ryo, what did I tell you before we left? No calling me Master out here, in case someone hears you, so just call me Ryou" I stated softly, as I ruffled his hair,
"Opps! Sorry... Ryou" Ryo whispered, looking down before glancing up and kissing my cheek, "Could we... uh... maybe go get some food here?"
"Sure, why not" I stated with a chuckle, before dragging myself from Touzukos arms as I stood up while stretching my arms above my head, "What would you like to try?"
"Something sweet!" Ryo exclaimed, while grinning up at me happily,
"Well, what would Touzuko and Florence like to try?" I asked, wanting to be able to get for everyone, as Touzuko chuckled,
"I don't mind, nothing to sweet though" Touzuko stated, as Florence huffed
"I don't like sweets" HE stated, while crossing his arms over his chest,
"Well how about we walk down to the store at the other end of the park, and you can all pick something? Mariku should be working today anyway" I explained with a chuckle as I glanced around the three brothers as they all nodded, "Come on then"
With that we all walked through the park, as several children and their parents walked through the park, and causing me to roll my eyes as I grabbed Ryos hand; which caused him to glance up at me as I pulled him along, and out of the park with Touzuko and Florence. I vaguely recall hearing one of the children saying something about us all being brothers while their parent agreed, this actually made me smile softly while I walked with my pets towards a small café, and smirked as I noticed Marikus spiked up white blonde hair wearing a waiters suit. Grinning deviously, I indicate towards the elder brothers to head into the café, as I pull Ryo around the corner, and watch as the elder two walk in,
"Ryou?" Ryo asks softly, looking up at me, "Aren't we going in?"
"Yeah, I wanted them to go in first" I stated with a chuckle, while pushing Ryo against the wall, "Now how long shall we wait?" I purr down at him, given he is about three inches shorter than me,
"Uh..." Ryo mumbles while flushing, as he glances towards the end of the small back way I dragged him down,
"Come on, I am sure Mariku has already had a heart attack" I tease, as I kiss Ryos lips softly, "Plus, I wouldn't want them starting any trouble"
"O-Okay..." Ryo whispers, as he quickly kisses me back, before tugging me towards the cafes entrance,
"Heh, come on" I state and lead Ryo into the café to see Florence and Touzuko had been seated in a four person booth, as I nudged Ryo softly before pointing to his brothers, "Go sit with them, I'll be over in a sec"
"Okay!" He exclaimed before smiling and running over to his two elder brothers, as I sighed before jumping slightly,
"I had a feeling this was your doing" Marikus voice sounded from behind me, causing me to sigh deeply while turning to face him,
"Mariku!" I hissed lowly before chuckling nervously, "But yeah, it a treat. I promised them ages ago, that I would bring them out one day" I explained grabbing the four menus in his hand, "Also don't call me by my real name, and Ryo you should call Angel" I whispered as I heard the doors open, and in walked Joey with Seto and Atem,
"Sure thing, go on I'll be over to take your order soon" Mariku stated, as he ruffled my hair, while going to see to Atem and his two companions.
Groaning lowly I walked over to the table, while asking Ryo silently to sit beside Touzuko, and of course he didn't want to; however, as I silently explained I had to keep my back to the table Atem was just seated at, Touzuko clicked on,
"Come on little brother, it would be safer for you to sit this side" Touzuko explained as Ryo huffed and moved from sitting with Florence to sit beside Touzuko, "So, who is he?"
"Heh... well, the shorter of the three, is Atem. He was one of the ones I killed myself in front of, as well as the blonde, Yugi must still be in that mental hospital" I murmured lowly while sighing out, "Oh also, my little prince, when Mariku comes over, don't be alarmed if he calls you Angel. I told him to, just to be safe"
"Okay, am I really an Angel?" Ryo asked almost cutely, causing Florence to snicker,
"Yeah, little brother you are, an Angelic demon" He stated causing me to chuckle, "And what about you? What should we call you in case they hear?"
"I don't know, you could always call me-" I paused briefly as I glanced around with a sigh before seeing something, "How about you call me, Mar? It an abbreviation of Mariku. Or Mel"
"How about, we just call you, Mari-kun? You are younger than us, and Angel can call you Mari-Sama" Touzuko explained causing me to smirk,
"Sounds good" I explained as Mariku walked over to the table, "Oh bugger, here I forgot I was holding them"
"What is it?" Ryo asked, staring at the folder like menu,
"Its the menu, where you can see a list of drinks and food" I explained softly, as I opened mine and showed Ryo, "Have a look and see what you would like, and if you aren't sure, ask Mariku what he would suggest"
"Okay, Mari-Sama!" Ryo stated happily looking over the menu like a small child.
Leaning back in the booth, I glanced around while Mariku explained the different drinks to Ryo, Touzuko and Florence had requested to try a cup of coffee, and of course I had a cup of the cafes coffee special. Ryo soon decided on having a glass of chocolate milk, causing me to chuckle as I glanced at Mariku,
"Mariku, can you also bring over, two special burgers, with chips. A strawberry and chocolate sundae, and the house special club sandwich with chips?" I asked, causing the three succubus brothers to glance at me,
"Sure thing, I'll bring your drinks back in a short while" Mariku stated after writing down my order, then leaving as I released a breath of frustration,
"What is wrong?" Florence purred into my ear, causing me to glance at him, "And what did you order?"
"Oh, the sundae is for Angel, the two special burgers are for you and Touzuko, and the house club is mine" I stated before glancing behind me, "And I feel like they are watching us"
"It seems they are, what do you want to do about it?" Touzuko asked, as he narrowed his eyes,
"Nothing, you can't do anything either" I explain as I lean back, while sighing deeply as I hear Atems words,
"So, Yugi gets out tomorrow. They have decided he has calmed down enough, and is now emotionally stable since Bakura-kuns death" Atems words spoke, causing me to slyly glance towards him,
"What did Bakura actually do? I know he went insane about something, but what did he do to Yugi?" Setos voice, causing me to narrow my eyes,
"You didn't know Money bags?" Joey asked, before laughing, "You really are slow"
"Watch your words mutt" Seto hissed as he took a mouthful of his drink,
"Bakura-Kun, caught Touzuko cheating on him with Marik. They were actually having sex in his bed, and we all knew Bakura-Kun was a little unstable sometimes, well he snapped and butchered both of them up" Atem explained, making Seto choke on his drink while staring at Atem wide eyed, and causing me to turn my eyes back to the table, as Mariku placed our drinks down, "Well by the time me, Joey and Yugi got there, Bakura-Kun had already slit his wrists, while cradling Touzukos severed head. As we reached the stairs, he slit his throat and Yugi had a front row view. It seriously scared him"
"Well damn, who would have thought Bakura was able to do that" Seto spoke up, causing me to grit my teeth, while clenching my fists, "But at least now both those thieving bastards are long dead"
"Kaiba! Don't speak so ill of the dead!" Atem hissed, causing me to stand up abruptly, as I felt eyes on me, "Bakura-Kun had a really bad life, the only person who ever understood him was Mariku and Touzuko. And Touzuko broke Bakura-Kun, only time could have told how long Bakura-Kun would have been strong for"
"Yeah Money bags, Bakura-kun was strong for almost 26 months! He hasn't even been dead 36 months, and you bad mouth him?" Joey spoke up, causing me to stare wide eyed at the table, "Look he may have scared me, with his love of the occult and that, but he was a good person. You didn't see the tears in his eyes, or the hear the words he spoke before he killed himself! If only we had gotten there sooner, we could have stopped him from doing it"
"Joey, don't blame yourself" Atem stated lowly, "Mariku took a lot of the pain from us, when I told him and Ishizu about what happened, Mariku broke. Considering who he is, it was a shock to see him break down like that"
"Yeah it was, but it is in the past, its why we come to this café every year, on the same date" Joey spoke up, before seemingly clearing his throat, "Atem, do you want to do the honours?"
"Sure Joey" Atem spoke as a waitress placed two glasses of chocolate milk on their table, "For Bakura-Kun, for staying strong all those years, and dealing with things we didn't know about. May your soul rest in peace, and be happy where ever you are" Atem stated lowly before taking a mouthful of the chocolate milkshake,
"Ugh, how could Bakura-Kun drink this day in and day out? I prefer strawberry" Joey stated with a light chuckle, "But hopefully, he is happy now"
I just stood there shocked, staring at the table as I felt Florence wrap his arms around my waist, and causing me to stare up at my pets. They all smiled weakly at me,
"I'm fine... sorry" I stated lowly as I sat back down, as Mariku arrived with our meals, "Hey Mariku?"
"What is it?" Mariku spoke as he glanced at me,
"Do they really come here, every year?" I asked lowly, while indicating to Atem,
"Yeah, Atem and Joey come here on this date, every year. Normally it the whole gang, minus Yugi of course" Mariku explained lowly as he ruffled Ryos hair, "You do know what day it is, right?"
"Uh... come to think of it, no I don't" I stated staring up at Mariku who stared at me, confused before he sighed, "Mariku?"
"Its been almost three years now, today is March 16th" Mariku stated, as he turned on his heel and left the table, causing me to stare wide eyed,
"March 16th... the day I killed Bakura... the day I killed Marik... the day I..." I paused, as Florence pulled me into his body,
"It may have been three years up here, but down with us, it has only been 16 months. Time moves differently up here, for instance, we have been up here almost six hours, but it hasn't been any more than about an hour in Hell" Florence explained, while nuzzling my cheek as he stroked my hair,
"Yeah, so don't cry" Ryo stated sadly, his spoon in his mouth, causing me to release a weak chuckle,
"Okay... okay" I state as I push myself away from Florence, "Lets finish up here, then I'll see when Mariku gets off work, and we can all go somewhere" I explained with a smile,
"How about we go home? You still need a lot of rest" Touzuko explained simply, while eating a couple of chips,
"Okay, I'll ask Mariku to join us, well join us as far as he can" I state causing my three pets to nod, as we finished eating.
XxxxxxX
Groaning lowly to myself, I glared at Mariku as he began laughing, and causing Touzuko and Florence to even join in on the damned teasing; However, thankfully Ryo was on my side, pouting while crossing his arms over his chest, and demanding the elder three males were nice to me. I chuckled at that as I pulled Ryo close to my body, nuzzling his neck before smirking. Mariku had been telling the three Succubus demons about what I use to be like when he first met me, the way I was really shy to the point I always hide behind someone to stay away from him, and trying to drag Bakura away so he could protect me. Of course Florence found that hilarious, as he started teasing me about being a shy little boy, and of course Touzuko just had to join in on the fun. I admit it was really funny thinking back on it, I was so pathetic back then but I was only 15 years old, and well, theoretically I am now 22 years old; however, to the human world it has been three years since I killed myself, so I am still only 19. Sighing softly with a shake of my head Ryo jumped up and pounced at Touzuko while punching him, and causing me to smirk while explaining to Mariku, that Ryo had become overly protective over me, and even if Touzuko and Florence were his brothers he would still fight them.
However while Ryo and Touzuko rolled around laughing and fighting playfully, with Mariku as well I crawled over to lay upon my own grave, as we had all decided to come home, and my tomb was the furthest Mariku could come. Sighing I curled up upon the dirt with my right arm beneath my head, my left over my waist as I laid there with my eyes closed, and listening to the succubus brothers laughing and playing. Well that was until I felt the tell tale slither of Florences tail stroking over my hips, causing me to flutter my eyes open before looking towards the mischievous demon, and to my surprise he was just sat there watching his brothers; however, it seemed subconsciously he was worried about something, as he only sat this close to me when I was laying down with his tail stroking my hip when he was worried or wanted attention, and judging by the way he was watching his brothers and Mariku, he wasn't wanting attention. Mentally rolling my eyes, I slowly closed my eyes again while reaching my left hand down to Florences tail, and grabbing it lightly while pulling it towards my face as I nuzzled it; which caused Florence to gasp lowly, before I heard his wings spread from his back, and of course his brothers voices sounded in gasps while I heard Mariku ask Touzuko what was wrong.
As I listened to Touzuko explain, I heard Ryo come closer while growling at Florence, and causing me to sigh while snapping my eyes open to stare at Ryo,
"Ryo" I spoke sternly, causing Ryo to yelp as he jumped slightly, before staring at me, "Leave your brother alone, Florence is only keeping me company"
"But... But..." Ryo started, tears forming in his eyes, "He is a pervert!"
"I am not! He grabbed my tail!" Florence shouted, causing me to sigh, before biting said tail rather harshly, "EEK!"
"Serves you right for shouting at Ryo" I stated simply while slowly pushing myself to sit up, "Ryo, you can't always have my attention. Florence has just as much right to my attention as you do, he just shows it differently and requests it differently"
"But..." Ryo whispered, causing me to sigh deeply,
"Ryo-" I began as I was suddenly interrupted,
"Ryo, Master didn't have to accept to have us, you know that more than anyone. Yes we all know Master favours you over myself and Florence, and yes we do get jealous because we want his attention as well, however" Touzuko began as he walked towards Ryo, while placing a hand on his shoulder and forcing Ryo to look up at his brother, "We never ask for Masters attention, because you become overly protective, and you refuse to leave master Deaths side"
"B-But... Masters mine" Ryo whispered, causing me to sigh,
"Ryo, I am all of yours. You have to share me, I told you this when I woke up, that you all give me something the others can't" I explained while staring at Ryo, "And to be honest, I could really do with Florence being beside me more at the moment. After what we heard at the café..."
"I'm sorry... Master" Ryo whispered, before running over to me as I glanced up expecting him to pounce on me, and begin crying; however I hadn't expected him to dive into Florences chest, "I'm sorry big brother, you can have master tonight"
"Uh..." Florence blinked while staring at his younger brother, with a faint pink tinging his cheeks, "Okay?"
"Ryo, thank you" I spoke up, as I leaned over and yanked him from Florence and cradled him to my chest, "We can go back to the park tomorrow if you want to"
"Okay..." Ryo whispered before looking up at me, "Thank you... Master" Ryo stated before leaning up and pressing his lips to mine.
This caused me to sigh softly, as I pulled him closer while holding him protectively to my body, and kissing him back lovingly; however, hearing Mariku clear his throat, caused me to push Ryo back with a chuckle,
"Sorry about that, Mariku" I stated as I glanced towards him, while leaning back on my hands, "Did you want one as well?"
"Uh... Ryou, really?" Mariku asked before laughing, "I don't think I want to be maimed by your precious little protector"
"Yeah I guess, maybe Ryo would like one then" I teased, causing Ryo to stare at me, "What? Admit it, you want to know what it is like to kiss a living human male"
"Uh... m-maybe?" Ryo mumbled while flushing crimson, causing Touzuko and Florence to snicker, "Oh shut up!"
"I've kissed him before" Florence confessed, causing me to snap my eyes towards him, before glaring at Mariku,
"Oh really? And when the fuck was that?" I asked venomously, though because they all knew me well, they all picked up on the playfulness within my voice,
"When they entered the café, Florence walked up to Mariku, grabbed him by the scruff of his top and yanked him into a quick kiss" Touzuko explained before laughing, "Then demanded a table for four people"
"Yeah he did, it was quite funny, and you admitted it was your doing Ryou" Mariku stated while laughing,
"Wait! I didn't tell him to do that!" I stated before glaring at Florence and punching him in the side of the head, "I am so going to beat you black and blue later"
"B-But.." Florence stuttered, before gulping, "It was funny! Why should it even matter?"
"Because you are MY PROPERTY!" I hissed lowly, gripping Florences tail more harder,
"Ryou, calm your anger. It was literally no more than about two seconds" Mariku explained, as he chuckled and moved over to where I was sitting, and literally grabbed my hair, "It was like this" He stated, yanking my head back to stare up at him, as he pressed his lips to mine hard, and just as it came it was gone, "See, nothing to it"
"Uh... but still..." I murmured, before huffing, "Disobedience needs punishing"
"Master Ryou is blushing!" Ryo exclaimed, causing everyone to laugh, as I whined,
"Shut up... I hate you all" I stated before laughing, "I'm going to lay down for a while, you can stay and chat out here if you want but I want my bed" I stated while dragging myself to stand up,
"Okay Ryou, I'll keep these three out here for you, and keep them occupied with stories from your past" Mariku teased, as I glared at him, before snickering as I watched Ryo curl up in Marikus lap, "And don't worry, I won't touch your little prince"
"Good, he is mine" I stated before tugging Florences tail, "You are coming with me, leave Mariku to chat with Touzuko and tell Ryo stories, but you can come keep me company" I stated with a husky purr, and causing Florence to flush.
Smirking, I grabbed for his wrist, and yanked him to stand up while dragging him into my bedroom; however just as we vanished, I heard Touzuko and Mariku snickering while Ryo questioning what had happened, and this made me snicker to myself at how dense Ryo could be sometimes.
XxxxxxX
I sighed out lowly, while turning onto my side while opening my eyes slowly, and there, laying on his stomach with his top off and wings spread was Florence. He looked so peaceful sleeping like that, a faint smile tugged at my lips while I laid on my side staring at the sleeping face of Florence, and revelling in the silence that filled my room and all of Hell. Watching Florence like I was, reminded me of my life as a human, and watching Bakura sleeping soundly in this same position. I released a low shuddering sigh, before shifting to lay on my back, and staring up at the ceiling; however the slight vague sound of purring sounded beside me, causing me to glance my eyes towards Florence to see he was still sound asleep, and it was then that something had occurred me. Where was Ryo and Touzuko. Sighing once again, I slowly sat up while glancing around my room, however I couldn't see them, but I could sense they were nearby.
Slowly climbing out of bed, I grabbed for my long sleeved black top, and quickly tugged it on as I walked towards the stone door that lead to my grave. As I exited my room I saw Touzuko and Ryo curled up sleeping beside my grave, Mariku was still here propped up against the wall beside the door, and it looked as if he had been watching over Ryo and Touzuko, and even my grave as I sighed lightly. Shaking my head slowly though, I turned on my heel to head back into my room as I felt a hand grab my leg, and causing me to glance down to see Mariku smiling up at me,
"Sleep well, Ryou?" Mariku asked with a yawn, as he stretched his arms above his head,
"Yes, though how long had me and Florence been gone?" I asked as I leaned against the doorway,
"About four hours, Touzuko said your grave has the same time consistency as Hell it self" Mariku explained as I nodded, "Also, Touzuko went to check up on you about an hour after you left, when he came back with drinks he said you and Florence were out cold asleep. We figured you needed it"
"Yeah, I vaguely remember curling up on my bed with Florence stroking my head" I replied with a deep sigh, "I dreamt of Bakura, again"
"Yeah, what happened this time?" Mariku asked lowly, having already known about these dreams.
Groaning lowly, I shifted to sit beside Mariku as I told him all about the dream I had, had while I had slept, and explaining that when I had awoken I had thought Bakura had been sleeping beside me when it had actually been Florence. Mariku glanced towards me, with a questioning look, and causing me to explain to him just how much like Bakura, Florence really was. Mariku only nodded, as he told me to take it easy. I agreed obviously, before stating that I would go grab some blankets for Touzuko and Ryo while grabbing him a blanket and a couple of pillows; However, Mariku attempted to decline before I smacked him playfully over the head and told him to just stay there and sleep, and that it would be perfectly safe as Touzuko would automatically wake up to any sign of danger, or even if someone was trespassing within my resting place. Finally agreeing to stay and rest, I smiled as I dragged myself to my feet, and disappeared back into my room to see Florence still sleeping.
Shaking my head with a small chuckle, I quickly grabbed the extra blankets and pillows, and took them back to Mariku as I told him I was going to stay beside Florence, in case the jealous bastard woke up, and found I wasn't there which would cause him to go into a fit and run rampant to find me. Mariku had chuckled at that before telling me to go back to sleep for a while, and that he would still be there when I re-woke up, which made me smile and feel just a little better. Quickly giving Mariku a quick hug, I kissed his cheek before returning back to my room, and deciding I would indeed go back to sleep for a while simply because I didn't have anything else I could do for now; especially when all three of my pets were asleep, meaning I couldn't leave Hell anyway, even if I wanted to.

I think I will leave this here for now, it has been an extremely long day, and I really need to get to sleep now; however, do not fret to much, there is only one instalment left of my story, and I will continue that tomorrow after I have had a nice long nights sleep. So until then my little victims, try to behave, and remember I am watching you all.
Author's Notes:Wow... Ryou really is a pain in the ass, but time for sleep then, hope you enjoyed this instalment, and are ready for the last instalment. Until then my readers and followers, good night. Don't forget to review though, Ryou is always watching you.
