 0; & #160;  0; " Where is he?" asks Ryou as he sits on his bed. " I thought I'd wake up and he'd be here." He sighs as he rolls over on his side and stares at the two roses in the vase he had moved next to his bed. " Maybe he hasn't changed. Maybe he's still the same evil jerk he was back then." Ryou shakes his head as he runs a hand down his neck and feels the hickey and blushes slightly. " Malik is going to blackmail me with this." Ryou takes the black rose out of the vase and stares at it. " A red rose is supposed to mean love. . .so what does a black rose mean. Is it possible that a black rose is used to show that you don't love someone? Is that possible. . .or is symbolic of something else?" Ryou shakes his head as he throws the black rose across the room.

" Bakura! What in the world do you mean!"

� 160; " I gave something up with this black rose," whispers Bakura quietly as he appears beside the black rose. " I gave up my hostility toward everything and everyone. . .that's what this specific black rose means Ryou. . .it was once white. . .but the evil inside my heart turned it black. It will never molt. . .never die. . .and that red rose. . .is red from a promise I made. That I'd stay beside you forever."

� 160; " Forever is a long time Bakura," whispers Ryou as he walks over and picks up the black rose. " An extremely long time." Ryou looks up and meets Bakura's eyes with his own. " You do understand that don't you." Bakura smiles slightly as he knells down and rests a hand on Ryou's.

� 160; " I already told you Ryou. . .I'll always be with you," says Bakura as he takes the black rose out of Ryou's hand and tucks it in Ryou's hair. " We're yami and hikari. . .and that's something untouchable by anyone or anything." Ryou smiles as he touches the rose and looks at Bakura as tears well up in his eyes. " No tears. . .no more tears." Ryou smiles as he runs a hand through his hair.

;"Not. . .even if they're tears of joy?" asks Ryou. Bakura smiles and then shrugs.

" If they're happy tears then they're good. . .but if they're sad tears. Then well I don't want sad tears," says Bakura. Ryou nods as he walks over to his bed and sits down.

� 160;" Why did you come back after all this time?" asks Ryou. Bakura sighs as he slowly takes something out of his pants pocket. " I mean. . .you could have anyone you want. . .why me?" Bakura looks at the thing in his hands. " What's so special about me?" Bakura swallows as he looks at the picture.

; " Because. . .you're the only one. . .the only person. . .I love," says Bakura quietly as he stares intently at the picture in his hands.

� 8220; What do you have there?" asks Ryou. Bakura looks at the picture in the thing and slips it into Ryou's hand. " What is it?"

� 160; " Open it," whispers Bakura as Ryou looks at the heart shaped pendant in his hands. He opens it up and tears sprout into his eyes as he looks at the pictures. " I had it specially made. . .for you. . .I never even left Domino City. I couldn't. . .whenever you got pictures I always got a copy of my own. The one on the left is of you right after the fire. . .in the ambulance and the one on the right. . .is of me right after the fire. You were pretty badly burned up Ryou. . .so was I. . .but luckily for me I'm a yami. . .so it wasn't so bad."

� 160; " But. . .who took these?" asks Ryou as he looks at the pictures. " I mean. . .this is just before they took me to the hospital. I never even knew you were scorched so badly." Bakura nods slightly as he looks at the picture. His hair darkened by the soot. . .his clothes burnt and darkened. He looked at the picture of Ryou. Ryou's hair is darker and falling into his eyes. His clothes are burnt and small areas on his face have red marks on them. " I was lucky that I didn't come away with any permanent scarring except on my leg." Bakura nods as he looks at his hands which have small scars and marks all over them. " I never even knew who got me out of the flaming house." Bakura looks at Ryou and then at his hands.

; " Yugi took the photos. . .as for who got you out of the fire. . .it was me," whispers Bakura his voice getting quieter as he goes. " I came home. . .from the arcade and saw the house and the firefighters tried to stop me, but I ran into the house and grabbed you. . .I didn't care about myself. All I was thinking about was you." Ryou blinks back tears as he stares at his yami as he crawls over and takes one of Bakura's hands in his own.

� 160; " So that's how your hands got so scorched up," says Ryou. Bakura nods slightly as he winces slightly at the touch. " Do they still hurt." Bakura nods slightly and shrugs.

" It was nothing. . .burnt hands. . .when we got to heaven I'll have new hands. That is if after all I've done I even have a chance at heaven," says Bakura quietly. Ryou blinks as he looks into his yami's eyes.

" You saved me. . .and you've repented. . .I can tell by your eyes. . .they're not so cold. I think you've got as good a shot at heaven as anyone," says Ryou. Bakura smiles at his hikari and puts his hand on his hikari's cheek.

� 8220; Thanks Ryou. . .those words mean a lot to me," whispers Bakura as he leans in and kisses his hikari. " Staying silent for the duration of two years is a hard thing to do. The only people other then you that I've talked to is Yami and the flower lady at the store. The others can figure out what I want just by how I act."

60;" The others?" asks Ryou. Bakura nods slightly as his eyes lock with his hikari's.

� 160; " Aaro Ishra, Mariku Ishtar, Noa Kaiba, and Yami," says Bakura and smiles. " Aaro is one persistent pain in the butt. " 'Bakura eat. . .I'll force it down your throat if you don't.' Fact of the matter was that I just wasn't hungry. Couldn't he get that fact through his blond headed skull?" Ryou laughs slightly as he looks at his yami.

� 160; " Sounds a bit like you Bakura," says Ryou. Bakura laughs slightly as he leans in and steals another kiss from his hikari. " Now I know why you were called the King of Thieves. You can steal someone's heart just as easily as some treasure." Bakura smiles as he looks at his hikari and shakes his head.

� 160; " No. . .you stole my heart. . .I guess you just let your self get to attached to a Tomb Robber," says Bakura and laughs slightly. " You're still the semi-innocent hikari I left two years ago. I thought you'd be better off without me. Guess I was wrong." " More or less," whispers Ryou as Bakura smiles. " You're actually really innocent looking when you smile Bakura." Bakura blinks as leans down and looks at his hikari.

& #160; " I am? Well you're the hottiest thing since fire," says Bakura as he nips Ryou's earlobe.

" Yeah. . .and the cutest boy I've ever had to good fortune of knowing." Ryou blushes as Bakura looks into his eyes. " You're the only reason I live. . .you're my reason for living Ryou Bakura." Ryou smiles slightly as he reaches up and touches his yami's face.

� 160; " And ya know what Bakura. . .you're even cuter when you blush," says Ryou as Bakura blushes slightly. Suddenly the doorbell rings. " Darn. . .I hate doorbells." Ryou stands up and straightens his clothes. " Bakura. . .stay put." Bakura nods and disappears. " Well disappear works as well." Ryou opens the door and comes face to face with a police officer. " Hello. . .what do you need sir?"

" Are you Ryou Bakura?" asks the officer. Ryou nods and the officer looks at him and smiles slightly. " I'm Officer Takune. . .you're not in any trouble. The police were just wondering if you could help us with something." Ryou blinks and nods slightly as he feels Bakura behind him.

" What do you need help with?" asks Ryou.

" Well. . .if I remember correctly you were injured in a fire two years ago. It was arson and we've finally caught the suspect. We were wondering if you'd be willing to come to court and testify against him," says Officer Takune. Ryou nods and Officer Takune notices Bakura behind him. " Hey. . .is that your brother Bakura?" Ryou nods as Officer Takune extends his hand. " Its nice to see you again. . .you're one very courageous young man." Bakura blushes and then extends his hand and winces slightly as he shakes Officer Takune's hand. " Oh. . .sorry I forgot about your hands. They really were scorched bad from the flames. I'm just happy you both came out alive." Bakura nods slightly as the officer takes a photo out of his pocket. " This is the photo that a journalist got when you came out of the fire. You're little brother Ryou in your arms. . .it was amazing."

" Nothing special. . .anyone would have done it," says Bakura, but Officer Takune shakes his head. " The people I know would have."

" You're a hero. . .we really should get you an award of bravery," says Officer Takune. Bakura shakes his head and looks at Officer Takune.

" How about. . .instead of an award. . . a big bouquet of roses. . .and justice," says Bakura and smiles. Officer Takune blinks and then smiles.

� 160; " You are one strange boy. A girl I'd expect roses. . .not from an almost twenty year old though," says Officer Takune. Bakura blushes slightly as Officer Takune notices the black rose in Ryou's hair. " You two like roses?" Ryou and Bakura nods slightly as Ryou takes the rose out of his hair.

; " A lot of our pictures have roses in them," says Ryou as he smiles. " I'll be there. . .but I really don't want to testify. . .I think I've gone through enough flames for a life time. I don't want to be followed around by journalists and photographers. . . you understand."

� 160;" Yes. . .I understand. . .the injury reports and the three other arson charges will do him in anyways," says Officer Takune. " You can keep that picture if you want. . .I'll get a big bouquet of roses sent for you guys." Officer Takune smiles as he walks back to his police car. " Take care of yourselves. Come by the station sometime and visit us." Bakura and Ryou wave as the car pulls away.

&#822 0; Justice at last," says Bakura quietly as he holds the picture in his hands. " Hey Ryou think we could get Yugi to take one more picture of us? I sort of have an idea. . .but we'd have to let him into our 'Field of Roses'." Ryou smiles slightly as they walk back into the house and Ryou stares at the picture of Bakura with the rose.

; " Bakura. . .please tell me you didn't put a spell on that picture," says Ryou as he points to it. Bakura blinks as he notices words in the corner. " Let the fire in your heart burn." Bakura shakes his head and looks at the picture.

� 160;" No Ryou. . .but I have a sneaking suspicious that I think I know who did," says Bakura and smiles. " On the other hand I like it."

� 160; " So what's your picture idea?" asks Ryou. Bakura smiles slightly as he sits down on the couch and a blue rose appears in his hand.

� 160; " Well what do you think of reenacting the fire scene. . .changed a bit though?" asks Bakura. Ryou blinks and nods slightly. " I mean it would be in the 'Field of Roses' and instead of dressed in scorched cloths we'd be dressed in clean clothes. . .but I thought that me holding you in my arms would make a nice scene. . .specially against the background of red roses." Ryou smiles as he kisses his yami gently.

" Love it. . .but how about we do two pictures. One reenacting the fire scene and then another one. . .both of us knelling in the roses dressed in black. . .with black roses over our left ears," says Ryou as he hugs his yami.

" So do I. . .both of them," says Bakura as he kisses his hikari. " Not as much as I love you though." Ryou smiles as his eyes twinkle and he pins his yami to the bed. " Ryou. . .none of that." Ryou just smiles as he nuzzles his yami's neck. Bakura sighs and just gives in as Ryou licks his neck and then stops.

; " Yeah. . .it's in the middle of the day," says Ryou as he gets off of his yami. " Anyways. . .what happens if someone comes over. After waiting for ten seconds Marik is more likely to barge in then to wait patiently." Bakura nods and sighs and then flips his hikari over. " Hey no fair."

� 160; " All fairs in love and war," whispers Bakura and Ryou purrs as Bakura licks his neck and traces the line on his shirt zipper. " I have to agree with you. . .don't want Marik walking in on us." Bakura sighs as he lets his hikari up as the smaller boy runs a hand down Bakura's back. " If you keep doing that I might not be able to contain myself." Ryou laughs as he continues to run a hand down his yami's back. " I'm warning you!" Ryou stops and walks in front of his yami and kisses him quickly.

" Come on Bakura. . .got to go shopping," says Ryou. Bakura blinks as Ryou smiles and holds up two hundred dollar bills. " Dad sends me money once a week. . .I'm still in High School Bakura. One more year and I'll be out. . .I'm taking a special extra year class." Bakura nods as his hikari walks toward the door. " Have to get you some new clothes."

" But Ryou. . .I can just wear your clothes," says Bakura. Ryou sighs and turns and looks at his yami.

� 8220; We need to get you some clothes of your own," says Ryou and Bakura nods as they walk off to go shopping.

� 160; So how did you like chapter three. Ryou sure does like to torture his yami. . .well now they're going shopping. R+R please. Now it's time for my muses to talk.

B.C.- Well I think Shaina did okay on this chapter. ( Baku-chan not to be confused with Bakura. Baku-chan is my muse. . .he looks like Bakura-chan. . .but he is a muse.)

S.C.- Okay! This was awesome I can't wait for more. ( S.C. not to be confused with the author of this story Shaina Carney. S.C. stands for Shaina-Chan/Sane-Chan.) K.C.- I liked it, but if you want to read another story, by Shaina go read Kages of the Pharaoh-Noah, Seth, and Ka. ( My bishi you can't have him. He does whatever I say. . .well almost anything.)
