Chapter 2

~*~

Ryou awoke the next morning, in a sterile white hospital
room, feeling somewhat better than he had before. As his eyes slowly focused,
his hearing returned as well.

He realized with a start that Bakura was talking�or rather
listening�to a rather long scathing from Pharaoh. �What the hell were you
thinking?! Why in Ra�s name would you ever do something like this to such an
innocent boy?!�

A moment of silence obviously stung at Bakura as Ryou
watched him, waiting for his answer in curiosity. �I...because I love him�and I
was a coward not to admit it�and I covered it by abusing him��

Ryou�s eyes widened, but Pharaoh seemed to take no notice of
the statement of love. �Abuse?! ABUSE?! That�s an understatement for what
you�ve done to��

�Please stop yelling�my head hurts�� The soft English tinted
voice stopped Yami cold. Bakura turned towards his light, slowly, as Pharaoh
slinked out of the room. �Did�did you hear�?�

Ryou nodded.

�I�m sorry�I�m so sorry, little one�� Ryou shook his head.
�Well�� he murmured in a shaky voice, �just stop yelling, okay?� Bakura nodded.
Slowly, he moved to sit down on the side of his Light�s bed, and Ryou smiled as
Bakura slowly let his weight fall. Touching the younger�s face, he murmured,
�So how are you feeling?�

Ryou touched his throat and sighed softly. �A little sore,
but a lot better.� Bakura sighed with relief. �Then are you ready to go home?�
Ryou tilted his head in uncertainty, then murmured
close against Bakura�s ear, �But will he let
you take me home?�

Bakura sighed. Pharaoh could be a pain, but this�this just
wasn�t fair. �I don�t care. If you want to go home, I�ll take you home.�

Ryou nodded, but murmured, �Would it be okay if I could see
Yugi?�

Bakura was about to answer when he heard a blood-curdling
scream. As he darted out the door, he realized that Ryou was close at his
heels.

The sight before them in the hall-way made Ryou retch.

The cat was there, and within her deadly jaws was Yugi,
dripping with his own blood, yet still alive. Soft whimpers of pain slipped
from his lips. �H-help�m-me�� he murmured, but the cat would have none of it.
She through him down to the ground and ripped into his abdomen, sparing him no
pain, and ripping, slashing, and feasting until her prey�s movements stilled.

The cat looked up and smiled at Ryou�s pale-gray face, her
light tawny mouth literally blood red as she cackled. �Do not doubt me for what
I can do to you�and that is only a warning. The next time I exact punishment�it
will be far more painful.�

She stood up and away from Yugi�s decimated body.

Then, as quickly as the incident was noticed, the cat
vanished.

Yugi was dead.

~*~

A sudden pang caught Yami through the Millennium Puzzle. Yugi! Running as fast as he could, he
still couldn�t make it in time�

He got there just in time to see a cat disappear, and reveal
to him his hikari�

No words were spoken as he rushed to his fallen light�s
side. Lightly pressing his fingers against the boy�s throat, he prayed for a
pulse.

There was none. Yami yelled at the surrounding nurses who
instantly had him up and off the floor, leaving on the floor a sickening amount
of blood.

Bakura slowly glanced down at Ryou who was a sickening
pale-grey color. In a slow, hesitating voice, Ryou whispered, �Th-this�this is al-ll�this is all my fault, isn�t it?� Before Bakura could answer, Ryou
ran as fast as he could to his room, buried himself into his pillow and sobbed.

Because Bakura had only come in contact with a sweet side to
himself (other than Ryou) rather recently, he had no idea how to go about this.
Lightly touching his hikari�s back, he murmured, �No, Ryou�of course not�� Ryou
sobbed harder. �If�if I had just come home like you told me too�then Yugi��

Bakura placed a finger at Ryou�s lips and whispered, �No.
Don�t talk that way.�

The faint sound of the doctors trying to revive Yugi met both
Ryou�s and Bakura�s ears.

�Still no pulse! He�s not breathing!� Ryou flinched when he
heard the desperate sounds of shuffling feet.

�Clear!� One of the doctors yelled. Ryou had heard the
phrase on TV, and he knew that they were about to electrocute Yugi. Burying his
face in Bakura�s chest, he whimpered as the sound of an electric shock met the
couple�s ears.

Then, relief.

�His heart is beating�heart rate returning to normal.�

Near five, over 8 hours since the incident with the cat or
so, Yami carried an unconscious Yugi into Ryou�s room. Keeping his gaze down
and away from Bakura, he gently lay the boy next to
Ryou and whispered, �He�s just come out of shock. The doctors say I can take
him home tonight�� Bakura watched the former pharaoh for a long moment, at
first with hatred in his gaze, but the slowly softening.

After all�it was Bakura�s own fault that Yugi almost died.
He had scared Ryou out of the house�he had threatened and abused Ryou�was it
any wonder when he got scared enough to run? Sighing softly, Bakura glanced
over at Yami and whispered, �Yami�why don�t we keep them together? That
way�that way if she decides to��

Ryou glanced up in surprise. �Bakura?� he whispered, �You
would do that for me?� Though Bakura did not like the idea of Yami within
ear-shot of him, he also didn�t like the idea of his hikari feeling guilty for
what happened to Yugi, not to mention that Bakura couldn�t comfort him for it.

Yami looked like he was about to say no, but instead nodded
slowly. In the softness of the moment, Yami slowly and gently traced his
hikari�s cheek with his finger tips. �It would be best�� he murmured, �for us
to provide them with as much protection as we can�� He slowly glanced up at
Bakura and met his eyes. �There were�many times that I would have sent you to
the Shadow Realm if it weren�t for Ryou. Bakura�you have absolutely no idea how
many times Ryou pleaded with me not to send you away.�

Bakura looked at his hikari who had turned a deep shade of
red and was currently looking very interested in the white sheets of which he
was laying between. In a soft voice, Ryou whispered his excuse. �I just�I
didn�t want you to leave me�you�I love you��

Despite hearing already the words of his yami�s own strong
affection spoken to him, he didn�t believe it, and even felt severely
embarrassed because of his own admittance. �I�m no masochist, Bakura... it hurt
me when you�d beat me�and it hurt me even more when you made me call you
�Master� �but I kept telling myself that�that I loved you�and I had hoped that
I would have had a chance to tell you��

Yami�s eyes widened as he watched Bakura slowly look up,
tears slowly filling his own brown eyes. He lifted Yugi into his arms and
whispered, �We�re going to go home and collect our things�we�ll be over tomorrow
morning, 10?�

Bakura nodded slowly. Yami left, leaving the very confused
Bakura and the very nervous Ryou alone.

�Ryou?� Bakura asked slowly, his voice uncharacteristically
shaky. The boy turned away as Bakura sat down on the edge of the bed, then pulled
the boy into his arms, slowly sitting down cross-legged and placing the
light-weight boy down in his lap, resting Ryou�s head against his chest and
nuzzling him tenderly. Ryou laid his hands on his yami�s chest as he whispered,
�I�m sorry, Bakura�this is my entire fault��

Fighting back a laugh and the comment, �He�s Pharaoh�s
hikari; why should you or I give a crap?� he pulled Ryou closer to his chest
and whispered, �Hey, now�no it�s not�� Bakura�s voice grew dark and quiet.
�It�s mine. Ryou�no one deserves to be hurt the way I�ve hurt you��

Ryou gasped softly as he felt Bakura�s lips graced his
forehead in a sweetened, loving kiss. �Are you ready to go home, Ryou?

The boy nodded and tried to sit up, but Bakura wouldn�t have
of it. Into Ryou�s ear, he whispered, �I�ve been inspired. Lay still.� Gently
standing up, he held Ryou close, marveled and appalled at how light the young
one was. I did this to him�it�s my fault
Ryou�s been starving�

On Bakura�s way to check out,� a police woman stopped him. �Mr.
Bakura?� she asked, her tone business-like.

�Yeah?�

�We�ve treated Ryou for rape�and we need to know if you know
of anyone who might have committed such a crime. Can you give us any names?�

Bakura paled out suddenly. Thoughts ran rampant through his mind�I won�t be able to protect Ryou if I�m in
jail! And�I can�t lie now�not after Ryou�

A soft, English-tinted voice broke off Bakura�s thoughts.
�He was tall, had short brown hair�he attacked me about a week ago in a back
alleyway�I never saw his face�� Ryou laid his head back against Bakura�s
shoulder and sobbed softly. The police-woman wrote down a few notes and nodded
curtly before walking away.

Once Ryou and Bakura were in their car, Bakura turned to
Ryou. �Ryou�why did you�?� The boy looked up at Bakura, then back down at the
floor.

�For the same reason I didn�t want Yami to send you away�I
love you, Bakura��

The car ride to Bakura�s house was silent, yet filled with
unspoken love.

Upon reaching the house, Bakura stepped out of the car,
lifted Ryou out of his seat and pulled him into his arms, even though Ryou
murmured something about being perfectly capable of walking by himself. Bakura only chuckled and carried Ryou to his own
bedroom, not Ryou�s.

Once laid upon the bed, Bakura smiled. �Now then�what sounds
good to you?� In a sweet, shy, and overly British tone, Ryou whispered, �A
kiss?�

Bakura rolled his eyes playfully and whispered, �Later,
Hikari. I mean food-wise. How about some soup?�

In a touched, yet horribly scared tone, Ryou whispered,
�Bakura�you can�t cook.�

�I can try��

�You�ll burn the house down!�

�I will not! Now lay still. I�m going to go fix you some
soup, and heaven forbid I catch you out of that bed for any reason other then
for your recovery.� Ryou, though not surprised by Bakura�s dominant tone,
smiled and lay down upon the bed, resting his head on the pillows and listening
to Bakura fix him soup.

To his surprise, a little less then a half an hour later,
the house was not burned down, and the savory smell of chicken soup met Ryou�s
nose.

After a few minutes, Bakura walked into his bedroom. Ryou
stifled a laugh when he saw some of the ingredients of the soup in his hair,
staining his clothes, not to mention the look of pure, �I�m doing this because
I love you� look on Bakura�s face.

He carried in a tray of two bowls of chicken soup, looking
like they came right out of a cooking program and set the tray down over Ryou�s
legs and smiled gently. �I thought we could eat together�if you don�t mind?�

Ryou nodded, obviously very taken
that Bakura had gone to this much trouble over him. After a thoughtful sip of
soup, he glanced up at Bakura. �Bakura? It tastes great�thank you so much�you
really didn�t have to.�

Ryou almost didn�t catch the murmur that escaped Bakura�s
lips. �Yes I did.�

�Bakura?� Ryou asked softly after a minute of quiet eating,
�May I ask you a question?� Bakura nodded and sat closer to his hikari after
finishing off his soup. �Why do you like to hurt me?� A pang�a pang as if Ryou
had just driven a fork into his chest made Bakura�s throat grow dry and his
heart leap into his throat, then sink sadly. �I�� he murmured, not quite sure how
to explain it. He finally gathered his wits and his nerves and said, �Ryou�I
don�t like to hurt you anymore�but when I did�it was only because I was too
stupid to realize that you had feelings too�and I wanted you as my own without
wanting to take the time to get to know you�I wanted you�and so I took you�and
I found that the more pain I caused you�the less pain I felt myself�about
anything�because I knew that whatever happened during the day�I could always
come home and get rid of my emotions through you��

Ryou looked down and sobbed softly, his body quaking. �Is
that all I still am to you then? Some stress ball?� Bakura bit back tears
unsuccessfully and set his empty bowl and Ryou�s almost empty bowl on the
nightstand, on the tray. He pulled Ryou into his arms and gently cried against
Ryou�s ear for a few moments before gathering together his courage and
whispering, �No, Ryou. The further along I got in the process of abusing you,
the more I learned that I was doing it to keep myself from falling in love with
you�which I already had. Ryou�you are more precious to me now then my own
life��

Ryou leaned against Bakura�s chest, then gently lifted his
head up and laid a kiss, a light, experimental kiss upon Bakura�s throat, then
quickly laid his head back down. Bakura gasped softly at the feel of his Light
touching him like that�did he�?

�Ryou�do you forgive me then?� The boy nodded and nuzzled
closer to Bakura�s chest and sighed happily, loving the warmth of his yami�s
chest and leaning closer. �Yes, Bakura�as long as you won�t hurt me like that
again�as long as I am not your bed slave any longer�and even if I was�I already
forgave you�but I don�t want to be a sex-slave anymore�I just�I just want to be
on the same level as you are��

Bakura slowly nodded. Of course Ryou needed that�he needed
to be Bakura�s equal, or at the very least, Bakura�s lover�

Gently, Bakura took the dishes into the kitchen, then returned to Ryou. He had an idea. �Ryou�take off your
shirt.� Upon Ryou�s look of pure terror, wide, scared doe eyes, Bakura softened
his gaze and said, �Please?� The boy nodded and slowly slid off his shirt, now
very nervous that Bakura wouldn�t find him worthy, like the many many times that Bakura had told Ryou he wasn�t worthy of
the great yami.

Bakura sighed softly and mentally pounded himself at the
sight of Ryou�s many injuries, a few caused by that
cat, but most of them his doing. Sitting down at the foot of the bed, he
offered a soft, reassuring smile before leaning forward and pulling off Ryou�s
pants. Ryou watched him cautiously, prepared to take a beating from him, but
sad he�d have to.

After ridding Ryou of his last remaining clothes, he
surprised the boy by lifting him into his arms and carrying him to the
bathroom, where his hot-tub was boiling with hot, soapy water. After situating
Ryou down into the water and watching with satisfaction as the boy instantly
relaxed, he stripped down as well and joined Ryou. After pulling Ryou close to
his body, he whispered, �There now�that feels good, doesn�t it?�

Ryou nodded. �Yes�you�ve never let me in here before�except
when you made me clean it�and when I was in it cleaning it, even thought it was
empty�I�d fantasize about doing this�with you.� Bakura pulled the younger close
into his arms and sighed happily. He dipped Ryou�s head back and began to wash
his hair, loving the way Ryou moaned each time he�d stroke a particularly sweet
spot on his scalp.

It was evident that both of them were thoroughly enjoying
eachother. After a long, sweet moment, and after ridding Ryou of any and all
filth, Bakura lifted the very limp and very happy Ryou out of the tub and laid
him down upon a towel spread across his bed. He sat back and looked at Ryou for
a long moment before gently rolling the boy over and resting a hand on Ryou�s
back before pushing his hair over his shoulder and rubbing Ryou�s neck slowly.
The boy moaned softly and gently lifting his head up to meet Bakura�s slow,
stress-banishing stroke.

�Bakura�� he murmured, �You really don�t have to do
this�especially if it�s just to relieve your guilt�� The thought that this was
all he was doing it for sent small pangs of sadness into Ryou�s heart. However,
Bakura�s words calmed him. �No�I want to do this�� He leaned against Ryou�s ear
whilst stroking Ryou�s throat and whispered, �I want to show you how I love
you��

He ran his hands down Ryou�s back, reveling in the feeling
of the angel soft skin beneath his hands. Starting up at his shoulders, he
rubbed slightly harder, until he found that his young hikari was asleep as his
massage reached Ryou�s lower back. He smiled, pulled on a pair of black silk
boxers, and climbed into bed with Ryou, nuzzling the back of his neck and
kissing his ear.

~*~

After Bakura fell asleep, the cat (who had been watching the
whole time) chuckled�Another mistake like
that�and you, my precious treasure, will be dead. She imagined� the look on Bakura�s face when he woke
up, Ryou lifeless in his arms�his body completely bloodless�

But she couldn�t do that yet. She
wanted to extract more pain.

AN:// Ooh, she�s not a nice kitty! What will
she do to Bakura and Ryou???
