It's a Beautiful Night
xFINISHEDx AU Bakura is the leader of his gang 'Darkness' for a simple reason - he's the scariest. But what happens when his sweet, innocent brother comes to live with him...? R/B, YY/M, K/Y, J/M

Disclaimer: Let’s see, is Yu-gi-oh full of yaoi pairings? No? Not mine, then.

A/N: Wow, this one’s a little different for me. Gangs? I can just see my friends’ faces, and they look like, ‘HUH?’ But oh well :) One must obey the muse, that one must. Let’s see... In case you’re having trouble deciphering the couples there, they are thus: Ryou/Bakura, Yami/Malik, Jou/Mai, Kaiba/Yuugi - oh, and there’s some bits of Malik/Marik too, just ta warn ya. And the main things that make this AU... One, Bakura is the leader of a gang called ‘Darkness,’ the name being inspired by one of my fave lines of his, ‘Don’t you realize that I am the darkness?’ Also in the gang are Yami, Malik, Kaiba, Jou and Mai. Um... All the yami/hikari group things are siblings (i.e.: Yuugi is Yami’s lil bro). And finally, Kaiba isn’t rich (nervous grin) (hides from furious Kaiba) But there’s a very good reason for this, I swear! I just can’t tell you yet! (hides from furious readers) Eh, I think that about covers it; let’s start the fic, shall we?

Xooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooX

Chapter One: Darkness

Xoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooX

Bakura threw back his head and laughed as the flames licked the sky.

It was the deep, satisfied laugh of someone basking in the glory of a job well done. The plan had been sheer brilliance, really. First, they had found the window to the back room where the data from the security cameras of the gas station’s store was fed. He had killed the guard, then Kaiba, the gang’s technical expert, had shut everything down. They didn’t want to take any chances, after all. Then they had killed the two people in the front of the store and grabbed everything the six of them could carry. And finally, they set fire to the place.

He supposed they should get out of there, before someone drove by and saw them. So he revved up engine of his motorcycle and drove away

Xoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooX

Jounichi sprawled out across one of the elderly chairs of the gang’s - they called themselves Darkness - hideout, and raise a beer can in a toast. “Awesome night!”

Mai rolled her eyes. “Honestly, Jou, are you that immature? It was boring, is what it was. Bakura, you need to find us some better jobs.”

He grinned toothily at her. “Oh, I know how we could make some extra cash! You could become a prostitute; what do you think of that?” She threw an empty beer can at his head, but he just ducked.

Yami shook his head. “I agree with Mai,” he said firmly. “We killed too many people for this little money. And what, exactly, was the point of setting the store on fire afterwards?”

Kaiba, leaning against a wall a little away from the rest of them, scoffed. “What’s the matter, Yami? Having a conscience attack again?”

“Leave him alone.” This remark came from Malik, the only member of the gang who hadn’t spoken up yet. “I do agree with you, but I’d have to say that your constant ego-tripping and bothering the rest of us has lost its charm.”

Kaiba scowled, taking a step toward him, but Bakura slid neatly between them. “That’s enough,” he declared, feeling too laid back because of the success and the booze to give them a proper reprimand. “Come on, everyone; let’s get home. After that there’ll probably be more cops out than usual, so watch yourselves.”

Kaiba shot one last parting glare in Malik’s direction, before heading home. He was going to an abandoned house on the bad side of town where he and his little brother Mokuba had been living since they had come to this town. Mai would soon leave for the mansion she lived in; her parents were hardly ever in the country because of the traveling involved in their high-paying jobs, so she could get away with practically everything. She gave the gang as much money as she could find excuses to get. Yami probably had the best home of all of them; he lived with his little brother Yuugi and their grandpa in their grandpa’s game shop. After he left, Malik reluctantly tore himself away. He lived with his big brother Marik, and they didn’t exactly have the best relationship. Finally, Bakura left; he lived with his dad, who had long since given up on trying to censor his activities. Jou told him that he would be spending the night at their hangout again; he lived with his dad too, but they didn’t really get along that well. So Bakura locked up after himself before hopping on his motorcycle and riding home.

Xooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooX

“Yo!” Bakura called, carelessly dropping his jacket on a chair as he walked in. “Anybody up?” It was the strangest thing; usually his dad would be in bed by now, but the lights were on.

In response to his call, someone walked out of the kitchen. He froze.

It was a girl, and a pretty hot one at that. Maybe a little too sweet-looking to be his type, but still... She wore a baggy blue sweater and white jeans that exactly matched her long, snowy hair. He did a double-take. Wait a minute; this girl looked almost exactly like him!

When she saw him, she gasped and bowed. “Konnichiwa, nii-san!” she said hurriedly.

He gaped at her. Eh... eh heh... “NANI?!” She jumped, but he barely noticed. His mind was spinning. If she called him that, then she must be... Shit, she must be a he! “Ryou?! What the fuck are you doing here?”

Xoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooX

A/N: Shortest. Chapter. Ever. Y’know, it’s really more like a prologue, isn’t it? I was thinking of making it longer, but I just couldn’t resist that ending :3 Don’t worry; Bakura’s question will be answered next chappy. He thought Ryou was a girl; I got such a kick out of writing that... Meh. So, yeah, they’re brothers, but I’m gonna hook them up anyway. Why, you ask? Because I’m twisted! What did you expect? Well, if it makes you feel any better, the next chapter will be much cooler (I already have it written up). It’s almost three times this long, and has a bizarre mix of serious and funny stuff. Yes, I have it all written up, so why don’t I just post it, you ask? Because I’m evil! What did you expect? Wait a week or so... (evil cackle) Review onegai?
