Chapter 27
Ryou didn’t say anything and was just looking down at his lap. Bakura’s shoulders slumped slightly and he let go of Ryou’s hands and stood up. He turned and headed back to the cave. Ryou sat there before standing and running and wrapping his arms around Bakura’s waist and cried in his back.
“Ryou...”
“Was what you said was true... You gave up Marik for me... You like Malik as well?”
Bakura loosened Ryou’s arms enough and turned around in Ryou’s arms and wrapped his own around him.
“Yes I do.”
Malik looked up and saw Bakura looking at him. Bakura waved him over and Malik walked over till he stood next to them. Ryou let go of Bakura slightly and grabbed Malik and pulled him over and holding them both. Malik smiled down at Ryou who still had his face buried in Bakura’s chest. Bakura watched him before he remembered Marik. Bakura loosened his grip on the two smaller males causing Ryou to noticed and look at him.
“Bakura?” Ryou whimpered.
“Shh it’s alright. I should go set things right with Marik.”
“What did you do?” Ryou said looking alarmed.
“I got angry with Marik because he accidently let slip about our relationship to Malik. I hit him very hard in the jaw. He didn’t do anything at...just lay there on the ground. I told him not to be in the cave when I got back. That kind of means I don’t want to see him for a few days.”
Ryou slapped Bakura across the face. “How could you Bakura. He’s your friend and just because he let slip about what happened between you two is no reason to hit him in the jaw.”
“You just slapped me what’s the difference.”
“Bakura you know very well what the difference is. You will have a red mark on your face for a couple of hours. Marik will have a bruise for a few days. You go apologise right now.”
“You’re coming. You love Marik but just haven’t said anything.”
“B-Bakura I c-can’t.” Ryou whimpered.
Bakura didn’t listen and started too walked off with his arm wrapped around Ryou’s waist and the other around Malik’s. Though he was being careful of both boy’s bruises.
~~Ω∞Ω~~
Atemu and Yugi knocked on the door frame of Marik’s hut. They had been directed to his hut when they found someone willing to help them. Both heard swearing and a couple of thuds as Marik made his way to the door. He moved the curtain away to see Atemu and Yugi there.
“What?” He sighed.
“Can we come in Marik?” Yugi asked.
“I guess. You won’t leave if I said no would you?”
“Probably not.” Atemu replied.
Marik moved aside and they both walked in. Yugi looked around and saw lots of different things. Things that weren’t Egyptian or Japanese. Marik noticed his confusion to the things.
“They are from different countries I have been to. You might not know what they are.”
Yugi nodded and looked around, not touching anything. Atemu turned to Marik and saw him sitting on his bed with his head down.
“Ok Marik what happened to the crazy person we met when we first arrived?”
“He’s gone for now. He might not be back for a while.”
“Marik, if you loved Ryou when you got to know him why didn’t you say anything?” Yugi asked.
“I guess I was afraid... I know me afraid never...But I was. I didn’t want to be rejected and so I didn’t say anything. I told Bakura and had him promise not to say anything. He kept his end of the deal but I didn’t tell Malik to not tell, so Ryou knows. I doubt I’ll stay here long anyway.”
“Why?”
“There is nothing here for me anymore. I can’t be with Bakura, I can’t be with Ryou and Malik doesn’t really like me and he wouldn’t be staying in the first place as he is to protect you Prince Yugi. So I think I’ll just pack up and leave. I can go around to different countries again till I find somewhere I want to settle down in.” Marik sighed.
“You will do nothing of a sort.” A voice said from the doorway.
Marik jumped along with Atemu and Yugi. All three looked to the door to see Bakura walking in along with Ryou and Malik behind him. Ryou was just staring at the floor. Marik looked to Bakura who was looking him in the eye.
“You can’t stop me Bakura. I’m leaving ok.”
Marik stood and turned around to start putting clothes and weapons together. Ryou and Malik watching him while Yugi and Atemu left. Yugi whispered to Ryou that they would be back at the cave so that they had some privacy. Bakura stalked up to Marik and spun him around and crashed his lips to Marik. Marik froze in shock as Bakura held him close before pulling away.
“Like I said you’re not leaving.”
Marik took a step back and stared at Bakura before looking to Ryou who was shaking his head before he walked over and slapped Bakura in the arm.
“Alright.” Bakura grumbled and took another step towards Marik and they were less than a meter apart. “Marik I’m sorry I over reacted before and I’m sorry I hit you.”
“It’s fine Bakura.”
Bakura smiled and reached out and tilted his face and looked at the forming bruise at the bottom of his jaw. Malik walked over to Ryou and stood behind Bakura. Bakura spent a minute looking at it before pulling away.
“It’s should be fine Marik.”
“Marik...” A small voice whispered.
Marik looked down at Ryou who had spoken and saw he wasn’t looking at him. He felt guilt for what he and Bakura did when Ryou was kidnapped. He saw Bakura drag Ryou in front of him and his hands rested on his shoulders. Marik frowned and looked up at Bakura who nodded to Ryou. Marik looked back down at him and saw he was fidgeting with his hands. Marik knelt down on the ground and looked at Ryou in the face.
“Ryou what is it?”
“Malik told me something. You...You love me, is it true?”
Marik flinched internally. “Yes it is Ryou.”
Ryou smiled and wrapped his arms around his shoulders. Marik froze and looked up at Bakura who was standing with his arms crossed across his chest and smirking down at him. Marik wrapped his arms around Ryou.
“I love you too, Marik.” Ryou whispered in his ear.
Marik smiled and stood up and swung Ryou around his arms. Ryou giggled and held on to him tightly waiting for Marik to stop. Marik stopped and slid his hand under Ryou’s chin and tilted him to look up. The instant Ryou’s face landed on his he blushed darkly. Marik chuckled and kissed Ryou gently on the lips. Ryou pushed back till air was needed.
“Listen Bakura, Marik, Ryou...” They all turned to Malik and saw he had moved away and was by the door. “I’m still a guard and I have a duty to Prince Yugi. I do love you all but I can’t stay. I may be able to get a few weeks off every once in a while and that would be the only way to see you. I can’t abandon my job so just go on without me and forget me. It'll be easier on you.”
Malik turned. “But Malik that’s not fair on you.” Ryou said.
“I know but it will be for you.”
Malik left the hut and headed back to the cave where Yugi and Yami were.
“Bakura he can’t be serious can he?”
“I think he is Ryou.”
Ryou looked down upset and felt Marik come up behind him and wrap his arms around his waist gently and held him close.
~~Ω∞Ω~~
Malik made it back to the cave and walked in. He saw Yugi and Atemu sitting by the fire eating figs.
“Hey Yugi.”
Yugi turned and smiled. “Hey Malik.” He frowned. “Where’s Ryou, Bakura and Marik?”
“Back at Marik’s hut.”
“Oh ok. Everything fine?”
“Yeah everything’s fine, why?”
“Just asking.”
Malik nodded and sat down next to him. Yugi passed him a fig and he thanked him before eating. Not too long after did Bakura, Marik and Ryou enter and sat down. Marik sat next to Ryou and Bakura and they started eating. They didn’t say a thing to Malik about what he had said and Malik kept his gaze off them.
“Bakura there is another reason I’m here.” Atemu spoke up.
“And what is that?” Bakura replied his voice ruff.
“I know you have robbed the palace in Lower Egypt and have done the same to ours in the past. I wish to put a stop to that.”
“Really? The only way to stop that is to put everyone in prison.” Bakura growled and eyes narrowed.
“Bakura remember what Atemu said.” Ryou said to him and put a hand on his arm.
“Bakura I wish for you to not rob our palace or any of the palace party groups that head out through the desert. That is the only condition I’m asking of you. There are some things that shouldn’t be stolen and I don’t want to risk them being stolen by you and have anyone here hurt. That’s the reason I’m asking not to rob from us.”
“Very well. I may still steal some jewellery from your palace though, along with money.” Bakura smirked.
“I wouldn’t be surprised. Feel fear to stop by and say hi if you can and you would be perfectly safe to hide in my chambers.” Atemu smirked back shaking his head. “I won’t protect you if you are caught.”
“I’ve been in your chambers before a long time ago.”
“You’ve been in my chambers? How long ago?”
“About 5years ago. I held a small knife to a small Prince’s throat for 3hours.”
“That was you!” Atemu exclaimed. “You scared the day lights out of me.”
“Hehehehe you should be. I could have killed you then but I didn’t so consider yourself lucky.”
“You don’t know how much I was scared after that experience. You get caught I won’t protect you though I won’t say you held a knife to my throat all those years ago.”
“Oh I’m going to like you being Pharaoh.”
“I’m sure.” Atemu rolled his eyes. “We’ll leave tomorrow morning. Can we fill up the water holders before we leave?”
“Yeah sure.”
“Thankyou.”
Yugi smiled at Ryou. “I’ll miss you Ryou. You’ll come to the wedding still?”
“Yeah of course Yugi I wouldn’t miss it.”
Yugi smiled and Bakura narrowed his eyes at him. “Wedding? When’s that?”
“It’s in 11 days. It’ll take us 6days to get back and then it’s only 5days till the wedding. If you want Ryou can come back with us and I can send someone back out with Ryou.”
“No. We will take him. We will stay somewhere on the outskirts of the Kingdom. If we are seen you will know and you can take Ryou out and we will find you after.”
“Ok. So he’ll come with you.”
“Yes. It will only take us two days to get to the Kingdom.”
“Ok. Your horse is galloping the whole way isn’t it?”
“Yes.”
“Oh. Well Yugi and I will go and get ready to leave. Our horses are near the pen?”
“Yes they are. Your weapons will be handed back tomorrow as you leave.”
“Very well.”
Yugi and Atemu stood up and Malik followed. They left and started to prepare for the journey back. Leaving Ryou, Bakura and Marik alone. They ate dinner later before going to sleep.
