Destruction

 

Ryou struggled against his captor, trying desperately to pull his arms out of the cold, tight grip on his wrist. “LET ME GO! HELP! SOMEONE!” Ryou cried out in fear.

Ryou's brown eyes widened when he saw his captor was carrying him to the temple in the Shadow Realm Badlands. His heart jumped up into his throat. “I don't want to go there! Put me down this bloody instant!”

Mobius growled and clenched harder around Ryou's wrist, making the hikari yelp. “You will stay quiet or I will break your wrists myself!”

Ryou stopped struggling and swallowed hard as he dangled in the giant monster's grip. `Bakura……help.'

The hikari swallowed hard as he was carried up the steps of the large temple. He trembled as Mobius carried him inside. At the end of the large room was a throne of gold and red velvet. Nearby was the same blood-stained altar to, covered in candles and spell scrolls.

“Master, I have brought the Hikari Bakura to you.”

Mobius carried Ryou to the throne and dropped him on the cold stone floor. Ryou tried to crawl away, but Mobius slammed his foot on Ryou's back, pinning him to the ground.

The hikari bit his teeth and shivered under the pressure on his spine.

“Now, now, Mobius…..we don't want you to kill Ryou so soon. He is important to my plans.”

Ryou looked up and saw Yami stepping out of the shadows. “YAMI!”

The pharaoh grinned. “Well, well, if it isn't my little puppet?”

Ryou tensed as he saw Yami kneeling in front of him. The pharaoh reached down and cupped Ryou's cheek in his hands and stroked it lovingly.

“My, Ryou, how long has it been since you've been here to visit me? I do get lonely, you know.”

Ryou pulled his face away from Yami's cold hand. “Get your hands off of me!”

Yami narrowed his eyes and grabbed a fistful of white hair and pulled back. Yami's purple eyes gazed into the terrified chocolate orbs. “A good puppet doesn't resist, Ryou. A good puppet behaves himself like a good boy. You do know how to be a good boy, don't you, Ryou?”

Ryou froze in Yami's grip. “Y…Yes?”

Yami grinned. “Good. Mobius, let him up.”

“But Master…what if he runs?”

Yami stepped away from the terrified hikari. “If he runs, he won't get far. Trust me.”

Mobius removed his heavy foot from Ryou's spine and the hikari struggled to his feet.

The hikari turned and ran for the entrance.

“FIRE!” Yami screamed and a wall of flames appeared in front of Ryou.

Ryou jumped back with a startled cry. “No!”

Yami laughed. “I think you are safer staying with me than jumping through those flames. And don't bother calling Bakura”

The hikari turned to Yami. “What do you want from me?”

The pharaoh chuckled low in his throat. “Can't we just try to get along, Ryou? We used to be close back in Duelist Kingdom and Battle City.”

“That was before you turned your back on everyone! What you have done to this family is nothing short of repulsive! You threatened the lives of my children! You've tried to kill them! And I know you abused my son! How dare you even thing that we can continue to be friends after what you've done to my son and daughter?!”

Yami shook his head. “It's a pity.”

“No, you deserve no pity after what you've done to my son! Once Bakura and Marik find me gone, they will be here coming to find me!”

“Now, now, Ryou….there's no use getting yourself all upset. They won't notice you missing. You won't be gone long enough. I have brought you here for a purpose, Ryou. And you will not leave until that time.”

Ryou backed away, keeping an eye on Mobius and Yami.

“Ryou, where is the Millennium Trident and the Scepter of Ra?”

Ryou shook his head. “I…I don't know where they are.”

“YOU LIE!” Yami growled and turned angrily.

A wave of energy came from his hand and threw Ryou across the room. The hikari landed in a moaning, trembling heap on the floor.

Ryou felt a drop of blood trickle down his cheek. He wiped his cheek free of the blood and groaned.

“I take it you understand me now, Ryou. I am serious. Where is the Millennium Trident and the Scepter of Ra? You must know where it is!”

Ryou sat up with a whimper. “No, I don't! If I did, I wouldn't tell you anyway! You'd only use that to kill my children!”

Yami stood over the hikari and glared down at him. “That should be the least of your worries, Ryou. Cross my path….and I will destroy the mother of those children.”

Ryou swallowed hard. “Yami, I don't know where the other Millennium Items are! I swear!”

Yami grabbed Ryou by the collar and pulled him to his feet. “Do you think I enjoy killing people to get what I want?”

“Yes.”

“Oh, you do, do you? Well, I will get what I want, Ryou. And you are going to help me through it.”

Ryou struggled in Yami's grip. “I refuse to help you hurt my friends and my family!”

The Darkness laughed. “You do not have a choice in the matter. I have ensured that long ago.”

“Don't hurt my family, Yami!”

“Or what, Hikari Itemri?”

Ryou swallowed hard and his lip trembled. “Please don't hurt my husband…or the Ishtars…and please don't hurt my children.”

The yami grinned. “Ryou, you're going to do more damage than I ever could. I promise you that.”

Yami threw Ryou at Mobius. “Bring him to the altar.”

Ryou struggled in the monster's arms. “HELP!”

“Struggle all you want, Ryou. You will not break free.”

The monster threw Ryou on his back against the stone.

“Easy, Mobius. We don't want to break Ryou in half….yet.”

Mobius held Ryou down by his wrists as Yami stood over Ryou, smiling.

Yami rested a cold hand on Ryou's warm forehead. “You will soon do more devastation than I ever could, Ryou. I'm actually jealous. We could work together, Ryou. I will make the rewards for your treachery great. You can stay here with me…..and we can both live in the shadow of The Castle of Dark Illusions.”

“I love my husband. I would never knowingly hurt him! I would never betray the ones I love!”

Yami leaned down and whispered in Ryou's ear. “With you under my power, you will destroy everyone you love. I will help you to achieve that.” Yami's tongue licked the rim of Ryou's ear and the white-haired man tensed. “You are going to be the ticking time-bomb that destroys the family.” Yami trailed his tongue towards Ryou's cheeks and towards his lips. “We won't stop until all trust between you and your family has turned to dust.”

“I…I won't.”

Yami grinned. “You don't believe me when I say that I can control you?”

“Nobody controls me anymore! I won't allow it!” Ryou bellowed angrily, trying to gain control of the situation. “I won't let anybody use me for their profit or pleasure anymore, Yami! I refuse to be treated as such! My father did it! Bakura did it! Marik did it! I won't let anyone do that to me anymore! So guess again!”

Yami grinned. “Oh really? I've controlled you before and yet you do not remember? You will remember now. I want you to kiss me.”

Ryou tried to pull his head back as Yami planted a gentle kiss on his lips. /I can't pull my lips back! I can't stop myself!/

Yami moaned into the kiss.

/I can't stop myself from kissing him!/

Yami pulled back from the kiss. “Expose your neck to me.”

Ryou tipped his head back. /I have to stop this!/

Yami kissed Ryou's Adam's Apple, letting his tongue trace lower to his collarbone. “How do you like it?”

“I loved it.”

/What?! Did I just say that?! I hated it!/

“It's been so long since I've had decent sex. There's some nights I long for the touch of a grown man. There are some things The Helpless Child cannot provide for me.”

/You sick bastard!/

“If you want to touch me, Master Yami, go right ahead,” Ryou said with a needful moan.

/WHAT?! OH MY GOD, NO! DON'T TOUCH ME!/

Yami grinned. “How did you like that?”

“I hated it!”

Yami chuckled. “But how did you REALLY like it?”

“It was the hottest kiss I ever had.”

/What?! No, that's not what I wanted to say!”

Yami grinned. “I can control your mind at will. You've never known that I've been watching you for the past two years…biding my time. Waiting until the perfect time to strike. Now that your children are nearing their 18th birthday, my time is growing short. I have little time to waste. We must work fast.”

“What are you going to do to my family?”

“Time will tell, Ryou. But no one will suspect anything. I will make sure you don't remember anything when you leave here.”

Ryou shook his head. “Don't hurt my family!”

“Oh, don't worry. I will let you do the damage first. In fact, I brought you here for another reason other than to discover the whereabouts of the missing Millennium Items.”

The prisoner's heart leapt into his throat.

“I brought you here to make certain that my power over you was still intact….and to strengthen my hold on you.”

Yami pulled back and placed his hands on Ryou's forehead.

 

“Gods of Egypt,

Powerful and True

Your Humble Servant cries to be heard!

Grant me power of Mind, Power of Thought

Power of Sight, and Power of Control

Over the mind of this innocent mortal….

Open his mind….to my whim and word

Let his mind respond to my voice when heard!”

 

Ryou closed his eyes and felt a pressure spread throughout his skull. Ryou tossed his head from side to side, feeling the pressure spread and swell. Ringing sounded in his ears as he felt reality slip away. He struggled to hold onto it…to be aware of it. But slowly his grip on his own willpower slipped away…leaving him dazed.

Ryou opened his eyes and groaned in discomfort.

Yami grinned down at him. “How do you feel?”

Ryou moaned at the pain in his head. “Not well.”

The pharaoh grinned and lifted Ryou's shirt, kissing him on the belly. “The feeling of discomfort will come to pass.”

Ryou weakly tried to pull his arms out of Mobius' grip. “Continue.”

/Stop……/

“You're so sexy, pharaoh.”

/Please stop…..please./

“Do you want me to touch you, Ryou?”

“Please….”

/I don't want you to touch me!/

Yami pulled back and looked down at Ryou. “See how I can control your responses? I know you don't want me to touch you. I can see it in your eyes. Those beautiful brown eyes……they look so scared. Are you scared of me?”

Ryou nodded slowly. “Yes.”

“As well as you should be. Now. I think I should put you to a test, my little mannequin. What do you say?”

“I can't hurt the people I love.”

Yami grinned. “Don't worry, Ryou. We'll work together and tear this family apart. Then, I will finally attain what I desire….you and your family's destruction. But first, your test.”

***************************

Ryou looked around the crowds walking past him. His eyes gazed fearfully around him.

`What am I doing here? I'm supposed to be at home.'

Ahead of him, the Kaiba Corporation building stood proud and tall.

The hikari ran up the stairs as fast as he could go. He burst in and saw Asher sitting at the security desk by the elevator.

“Asher! Asher, I have to see Seto! Where is he?”

“He's upstairs in his room with the pretty fireplace.” Asher's face went blank. “I wish I could watch that pretty fire burn….Fire is ……good.”

“Can I see him?”

Asher nodded. “I'll call Seto….go up.”

Ryou walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor where the Kaiba Family lived. Ryou leaned against the walls and buried his face in his hands.

`I was just outside my house…..how did I end up here in front of KaibaCorp? What am I doing here?'

The elevator rose slowly and opened its doors upon reaching the top floor.

Ryou ran out of the elevator and stood in the hallway. “SETO?!”

Ivy Kaiba ran out of her bedroom. “Wyou? What's wong?”

“Is Seto here? Uncle Seto?”

Seto stepped out of the library. “Ryou? Ryou, what's going on?”

Ryou ran up to Seto and threw himself into his arms. “I don't want to go back, Seto!”

Ivy ran up to Ryou and put her tiny hand on Ryou's leg. “Don't cry,Wyou!”

Seto looked down at the little girl. “Ryou will be fine, Ivy. I promise. Go back to playing.”

Ivy bounced on her toes. “I'm weading a book wif horsies in it!”

The CEO grinned. “Well, you have fun, little chibi girl. Tell you what, tonight I'll read you a story before bed. How does that sound?”

Ivy's eyes lit up. “You mean, my mommy, my daddy, and you will wead me a story?! YEAH!”

“I will, Ivy. Go get Mokuba to read you a story.”

Ivy ran down the hallway squealing. “DAAAAADDYYYYY!!!!”

Seto lead the crying hikari into the library. “Ryou, sit down and tell me what happened.”

Ryou sat down with tears in his eyes. “I don't know what I'm going to do!”

The CEO sat beside Ryou and put his arms around his friend. “Take a deep breath and tell me what happened.”

Ryou sniffled. “Bakura hasn't been spending any time with me lately! He completely ignores me!” The hikari burst into tears.

The CEO wrapped his arms around the sobbing hikari. He kissed Ryou's forehead. “I'm sure he's not doing that intentionally, Ryou. You know how tempermental Bakura can be.”

Ryou shook his head. “Bakura doesn't love me anymore! He only wants to make love to Marik! We haven't shared a bed in so long! He just wants to sleep with Marik.”

Seto stroked Ryou's long white hair. “Have you talked to Bakura?”

“Yes. He doesn't want to listen to me. Bakura doesn't love me anymore!”

Seto handed Ryou a tissue from the table beside him. “Dry your eyes, angel. Bakura loves you very much. He hasn't done anything violent to you, has he?”

Ryou sniffled and shook his head. “No, but he is just ignoring me! I love him so much and he has done nothing but ignore me!”

The CEO scratched his head in thought. “Well, Ryou, do you want me to talk to Bakura?”

“No……I'll talk to him. I just…I needed someone to talk to.”

Seto cuddled Ryou against him. “I'm always here for you, angel. You know that, right?”

Seto turned Ryou's face towards him. With a soft touch, he brushed his fingers against Ryou's cheek. Sapphire gems softly gazed into the chocolate orbs of the hikari.

Seto's eyes opened wide…

 

***Flashback******

The High Priest looked down at the prostitute. Her brown eyes were wide as she looked up at him with uncertainty.

Her long hair draped around her shoulders. The woman's bare breasts were pressed against him.

“Rayna,” the High Priest moaned as he touched her cheek.

“Please take care of my daughter, my Lord. She is my world.”

“Your daughter is as beautiful as you…..I promise to love and care for her…she will want for nothing…and should you carry my child, you will also want for nothing.”

The High Priest bent low, wanting to kiss her….needing to feel her against him…..

***End Flashback***

 

The CEO slowly leaned down and stopped short of Ryou's lips. “Rayna….”

Ryou's breath caressed Seto's lips.

The CEO pressed his lips against Ryou's lips slowly. The brunet held the white-haired hikari against him and deepened the kiss.

Seto's tongue slipped between Ryou's lips and moaned.

Ryou ran his hand over Seto's chest, rubbing the CEO through the material.

\Careful, my pet……you will have your chance to man-handle Seto Kaiba soon enough.\ Yami said within his mind.

The brunet whimpered as he caressed Ryou's long white hair.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Ryou moaning softly into the kiss.

Seto pulled back and looked around. His face blushed slightly red. “Oh….umm…sorry, Ryou. I…I couldn't help myself. Damn flashbacks.”

“Flashbacks?”

“Yes. I've been getting these flashbacks as myself in Egypt. I've been seeing Aria in many of my flashbacks. Isis once told me that I was in Ancient Egypt…and that Aria was very important to me. She said that Aria was my lover.” Seto stood up and grabbed his hair roughly. “I can't believe that, though! It has to be one of Isis' little fairy tales! It's not right for me to look at Aria like that!”

Ryou shrugged. “Well, Seto, you said yourself hundreds of times that you don't believe Isis at all.”

“These flashbacks are so real! It's as if they are actually happening.” Seto sighed. “Ryou, I can try to talk to Bakura and Marik if you want me to do so. I don't know what good it will do, considering both of them are stubborn as hell. But I know they care for you very much.”

Ryou sighed. “It's okay, Seto. I've bothered you enough. Thank you for just listening to me.”

“Ryou, if I can help, I want to help. Tell me what I need to do.”

Ryou smiled up at him. “You already did what you could do. You listened to me. Thank you.”

Seto felt Ryou press up against him again and stroke his cheek. The hikari's hand floated down the CEO's chest and stomach, making the brunet shiver with a desire he tried to control.

“I'll see you around, Seto. Thanks again.”

Seto watched Ryou leave calmly as if nothing ever happened. He stood in front of the fireplace with his jaw dropped.

The CEO swallowed hard as he felt himself become aroused from Ryou pressing up against him.

“Umm…can someone tell me what just happened here?”

*****************************

Ryou returned home and Aria walked up to him.

“Mother, can I please talk to you? Alone?”

Ryou sighed. “Okay. I'm going to lay down for a bit. Come and talk to me.”

“Hi, Ryou,” Bakura said as he walked into the living room.

“Yeah, hi,” Ryou said disinterested.

The yami raised an eyebrow. “I wonder what's gotten into him.”

Ryou laid on his bed and Aria shut the door.

“Mom, I have something very important to say.”

Ryou turned over in the bed, facing away from her. “Yes, I know you are leaving home.”

“No, it's something else.”

Ryou turned on his back as she walked beside him. “Well, dear, tell me what it is.”

“Mom, I'm…I'm pregnant again.”

Ryou's head snapped to the side. The hikari slowly stood up and looked his daughter in the eyes. “You're what?”

“I'm pregnant. I just took a pregnancy test yesterday.” Aria sat in the chair by the window. “Kai's barely out of diapers yet. Luckily I still have Malik's good luck necklace on me. Since Yami put that curse on my womb, at least this baby will remain safe as long as I wear this necklace.”

Ryou crossed his arms sternly. “Aria, dear, how could you do this so soon after having Kai?”

“He's two years old, mom. The kids will be three years apart.”

Ryou threw his hands up in the air. “You know, Aria, you should teach Umi to keep it in his pants every once in a while.”

“Mom!”

Ryou sat on the bed. “What am I going to do with you? What are we going to tell your father and Marik and Malik?”

“I'm married to Umi now. When I was pregnant with Kai, I wasn't married. Daddy shouldn't go on a murderous spree this time.”

“Honestly, Aria, I'm going to get Umi fixed.”

Aria stood up. “Why are you blaming Umi?”

“First you leave me and then you tell me you're pregnant!”

“Mother, please don't be upset.”

“How else am I supposed to feel?” Ryou asked, obviously hurt. “Aten's left and now you….”

Aria took a step towards her mother. “I thought I could talk to you.”

Ryou sat on the bed and shook his head. “I'm tired, Aria. I'm going to lay down for a bit.”

Aria looked down sadly. “Oh…okay, then. I guess….I guess I'll go tell father…..alone.”

Aria walked past Ryou uncomfortably and left the room.

`Why is mother acting so strangely?'

Aria walked down the steps and saw Umi playing with Kai in the corner.

Kai smiled. “Aden, daddy!”

“Okay, chibi.

 

Patty-cake, patty-cake

Baker's man

Bake me a cake

as fast as you can

Roll it

Pat it

And mark it with a B

Then put it in the oven for baby and me.”

 

Kai bounced and clapped happily. “Aden! Aden!”

Umi looked up at Aria's worried face. “Mermaid? What's wrong?”

“I…I tried talking to mother. He….he was upset.”

“Well, maybe he's still upset about us moving, Aria. He did look really tired when he came in, though.”

Marik sat on the couch beside Bakura. Ishtar put his arm around Bakura.

Aria bit her lip nervously. `How am I going to tell my father?'

********************************

 

Hayden guzzled down his beer and threw the bottle in the sandbox.

Eric laughed. “Are you going to leave it there for some kid to find?”

The red-haired boy rolled his eyes and strolled over to the sandbox. He grabbed the bottle and smashed it, tiny shards of the glass scattered along the surface of the sandbox. Hayden kicked around in the sandbox, burying the pieces of glass. “There. Now no one will find the bottle. Happy?”

Jason snickered. “Dude, that's a sandbox. Little bastards play in that thing.”

Hayden shrugged. “Who cares? It's nothing worse than what I had to put up with when I was their age. A little cut from a broken bottle is nothing.”

Hayden crossed his arms in front of himself and walked away from the crowd.

[You lay down and let Mr. Sanders have his fun, Hayden! He paid good money for you to take it! Hold on while I get the video camera, Mr. Sanders. You paid good money for the recording fee.] Charlie's voice laughed in his head. He remembered at four years old looking up at the man above him, terrified, as the man removed his Spiderman sleep shirt.

Hayden covered his ears with his hands. “STOP LAUGHING! IT'S NOT FUNNY!”

Eric and Jason lifted their heads. “What's wrong with you, man?”

Hayden leaned against the swingset and opened his eyes. He and his buddies were in the playground. He looked down and found himself not to be the terrified four year old….but an adult. Hayden rested his head against the swing set and saw a plaque by his head.

“What's this?”

Hayden read the plaque which read, `This Swing Set has been generously donated to the City of Domino by the Kaiba Corporation.”

Hayden clenched his fists and kicked the pole to the swingset. “FUCKING KAIBA-CORP!”

Eric and Jason ran to Hayden and pulled him back. “What's gotten into you, man?”

“I can't believe a man like Seto Kaiba would donate this to the playground!”

Eric released Hayden. “Of course he did, Hayden. Do you know why?”

“Why?”

“Because this is like a lure for little kids to come swing on them. When their mothers aren't watching, Seto Kaiba and his ….lover Joey come here and lure the children into the bushes. Do you know what they do to those kids?”

Hayden swallowed hard and turned white. “N…No.”

Eric grinned. “They take them into the bushes…..and teach them how to grow up like full fledged fags. Seto and his ass-humping partner molest the kids because they enjoy it. It's just what `their kind' does.”

“GUYS!” Rhonda called to them, running up to them. “Ronnie caught a couple! Over by the cemetery!”

Hayden narrowed his eyes. “A couple of fags?”
Rhonda nodded. “Yeah! Come on!”

Hayden ran as fast as Rhonda, his heart pumping wildly. His mind running with the thoughts of his twisted uncle and hatred for everything that his foster fathers represented.

How dare they do that to kids!

They have to be wiped clean!

`If I don't get rid of both of them, then they will continue hurting kids like me!' Hayden thought as he ran.

They reached the cemetery and found four men surrounding two teens on the ground, cowering in fear.

Hayden growled. “What's going on here?”

One of the boys trembled and looked up at Hayden. “These guys surrounded us and threatened to kill us!”

Hayden narrowed his eyes and pointed to one of the boys. “Turn around.”

The two teens swallowed hard. “What are you going to do?”

Hayden removed a Colt .45 pistol from his belt. “I said…turn. the fuck…around.”

The boy turned around and Hayden cocked the pistol.

“Wait! Please! Don't do this! I'll…I'll do anything!” the other boy pleaded.

Hayden's finger pulled back on the trigger. BANG! BANG! BANG! The victim let out a painful cry.

The kneeling boy fell forward on a grave, his back bleeding, his body motionless.

The other boy screamed and clutched onto his dead friend. “JIMMY!”

Hayden grabbed the baseball bat that one of the other men held. He rushed over to the crying boy and whacked his head with the bat.

Crunch.

“DIE! DIE!” Hayden screeched as he slammed the bat against the back of the boy's skull.

Slam.

“DIE!”

Squish.

The bat crunched through the skull, covering the bat in grey matter and blood. Hayden continued to hit the dead teen with the bat. The crunching of bones and laughter filled the cemetery until Hayden was satisfied that the teen was dead.

Hayden slammed the bat back onto the skull, cracking it in half.

The men snickered and laughed at the bodies lying on the ground.

“What do we do with the bodies of these faggots?”

Hayden growled, remembering the plaque on the swingset.

This was the same treatment that Seto and Joey deserved.

They were no better than the bodies on the ground.

They also deserved the same fate.

Hayden dropped the bat on the ground. “I have an idea.”
