Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Don't cry for me ❯ secrets ( Chapter 2 )

It was a pretty quite night. The only people out were the druggies and men looking to score. Bakura was starting to be more relieved from his hangover when a scream broke threw the night. ‘Damn. What the fuck?’ He thought angrily and he stormed off in the general direction of the scream. He wasn’t paying attention and soon ran into someone.

“ Watch were I’m walking.” He said sharply as he glared and continued.

“Gomen?” The voice said to him and he turned back around and kept walking. Her could hear her quietly sobbing and sighed. Closing his eyes he turned around and let Ryou resume control. He‘d rather have a hangover where there weren't over emotional mortals to make it worse. He closed his eyes and gave Ryou control back, trying not to draw attention. Ryou blinked a few times and then realized that he was at the park. ‘Oh great’ he thought ‘Bakura-sama has a hooker’ He was about to walk away when something caught his eye. A very familiar black chocker with a heart a gram on it.

“ Sabrina what’s going on?” She looked very frightened and ran into his arms

“ Ryou can I go to your house? Anzu and I got in a fight and I left. I have nowhere else to go.” She unconsciously tightened her grip on his shirt and he pried her loose. He sighed and the stared at the girl for a second. She was still wearing that same gray dress as that morning and was clutching her stomach . “I feel like something's missing...” She whispered. Ryou sighed and stood up, help the girl up also.

“Why don’t we just bring you back to Anzu’s house? I’m sure that she didn’t mean for you to leave.” Sabrina just closed her eyes.

“I can’t go there. Not now.

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

The walk back to Ryou’s house, uneventful as it was, was plagued by unnerving silence.

“Why were you crying?” Ryou finally asked, trying to see if there was another reason that she was out.

“I got mugged and was scared.” Was her sharp reply. Her entire body language screamed ‘don’t talk to me’. Ryou sighed and began to get ahead of her when he felt her tug on his hand. He slowed down and they interlocked grips.

When they reached the house, Sabrina pushed her way forward through the door and made to turn the light on. Ryou grabbed her hand and pulled it back down.

“ Don’t.” He said “My. brother is hangover and is in a real bad mood. I don’t think bright light will help.”

“But I can’t see a thing.”

“That's ok I’ll show you to the guest room.” He pulled her hand into the living room and inwardly sighed when he heard Bakura on the couch. Now as long as he stayed there, Ryou didn’t have to explain why there was a girl in “His bed” or why there was someone here with out his permission anyway. That was one of Bakura’s biggest rules: no one was allowed inside the house with out Bakura’s consent. It took Ryou only one time of breaking that rule until he never forgot it. Ryou motioned for her to be quiet and they snuck upstairs and pulled her into the guest room not even beginning to think about what horror would ensue if he was caught. Even with the lights on, the room looked dark. This was Bakura's room after all. The walls were black and the windows were painted over in black. As far as messes go though, it was one of the cleanest rooms in the house because noon ever went in there.

“Well hopefully this works for you.” Ryou said after glancing round at it making sure it was safe for people to actually go in.

“Oh yes. It matches all my high standers.” Sabrina said with a yawn, She was tired and didn’t care where she was.

“Ok. My rooms down the hall if you need anything.” Sabrina nodded in an understanding and turned to go into her room when she turned around suddenly and pulled Ryou into a hug.

“Thank you so much Ryou” He returned her hug and whispered a soft goodnight before turning and going to bed, boneless asleep as soon as he hit the bed. Down the hall Sabrina stared out the door at Ryou’s room, even though he was long gone before sighing and closing the door.

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

A few hours later Bakura shook himself awake from the sun streaming threw the window in the living room. ‘Thank god the hangovers gone.’ He thought as he left the sanctity of his couch to find clothes. This house was making him sick. He stalked up the stairs and walked into his room and turned on the lights. Glancing around he noticed something in his bed. Thinking that it was Ryou from the night before he went over and stole the blanket. He was slightly shocked when he saw an unfamiliar woman in his bed. He turned out of the room and slammed open the door to Ryou’s leaving a loud bang and dent in the wall, slightly waking Sabrina up. Bakura stormed over to Ryou and kick him hard in the ribs, knocking him off the bed.

“RYOU WHAT THE HELL IS A FUCKING HOOKER DOING IN MY ROOM. WHY IS THERE EVEN SOME ONE HERE DID I NOT MAKE IT CLEAR ENOUGH LAST TIME? MUST I REMIND YOU AGAIN?” Ryou, now very awake, was staring fearfully at the towering demon over him.

“That’s the girl, Sabrina that yo- I mean I ran into last night. She needed a place to stay and I offered her here.” Ryou was trying his hardest to stop his voice from shaking. Bakura didn’t seem hung over but yesterday might have made him really pissed. Ryou didn’t want Bakura to wake Sabrina up. It didn’t help that Ryou wasn’t even half awake anymore and was just trying to stay awake. Luckily, Bakura acted like he had calmed down after hi little rant.

“So where’s you excuse for not getting my permission for letting someone else come into the shit hole, cause I think I missed it.” Ryou hung his head

“I’m sorry Bakura-sama I don’t have one. I just wasn’t thinking.”

“Damn right you weren't. I want her gone in one minute. Understand?” Ryou looked up confused

“How am I supposed to do tha-” He was cut off by Bakura pulling him off the floor by his shirt until their faces were even and backhanding him across the face. Hard.

“Don’t ask me useless questions. Just do it.” He dropped Ryou in a heap and turned on his heel and stormed out of the room, slamming the door on his way out. Ryou absentmindedly laid his hand one his cheek and stared at the door. How was he supposed to kick Sabrina back out on the street? Sabrina! He quickly jumped out of bed to make sure that Sabrina didn’t hear him and Bakura fighting. He got to the door and was about to open it when he heard an angry voice from inside it.. He grabbed the handle, fearing it was Bakura expressing his anger at her for stealing his bed, but when he listened closer he heard that it was a women talking. He heard her yelling at something but couldn’t hear anything else, so he guessed she was on a cell phone.

“What does that mean? You can;t keep throwing that at me it was your fault. What about Katrina, is she ok? ...How can you-. No just shut up. No you need to go to hell. Oh that's mature Kali, Fuck off.” Ryou heard the audible snap as she shut the phone and he heard all her wait go to the floor as she begin to cry. He wanted to burst in there to help her but didn’t want to make it to obvious that he was listening. He fixed his composer and walked in the room.

“Good mooring Sabrina. Did you sleep well or at all for that matter?” She stood up and gave a similar greeting.

“Well since we’re both up, lets go over to tea’s and see if we can’t make this any better. My brother got mad and doesn't want you staying here anymore. I’m sorry.” ‘I know’ Sabrina thought ‘I heard ‘

“All right.” She said smiling “ Just let me get changed and lets go.” Ryou shot a smile back and left to get changed. She began to fix her now smeared makeup, glancing angrily at the phone every few seconds. She really wanted to talk to Ryou about it as a result of hearing his fight with is brother that morning it looked like he was in the same situation as her. She pilled on a black formfitting thin sweatshirt and some blue jeans out of her bag , got dressed and left the room almost running into Ryou on her way out. Since she never got a good look at the house before, seeing it in brood daylight made her stop and gasp.

“Oh my Ryou what happened?” Ryou shook uncomfortably and stared at the clock on the wall. Bakura wanted them gone almost ten minutes ago and he didn’t want Bakura to see them.

“ n-nothing lets go.” He grabbed her hand and attempted to pull her out of the room but she wouldn‘t budge. Sabrina couldn’t budge. This house looked almost exactly like the one she left in New York.

“Did your brother do this?” Ryou just shook his head.

“Look I don’t want to talk about it so lets go. Now!” Sabrina glared at Ryou in shock. He yelled at her for no reason. “Look I’m sorry but we have to leave. Now.” He said more calmly. He made to open the door when he heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

“Oh my god. Out. Now.” Ryou gasped.

“What's the hurry Ryou?” Sabrina asked intently.

“Nothing it’s just. Hi...Bakura...” Ryou said looking down and unintentionally pulling Sabrina behind him and closer to the door. Bakura narrowed his eyes at him.

“Ryou. Come here for a sec.” His voice was dripping with venom Ryou sighed and followed Bakura out of the little hallway and into the living room. As soon as they left the room, Bakura slammed Ryou face first into the wall, pulling his arm painfully behind his back and pinning the younger boy there.

“Is there a part of ‘She’s gone in one minute’ that you don’t comprehend ? Did you think I was joking, cause I sure as hell wasn’t.” He pushed forcefully on Ryou’s arm until Ryou thought that it was going to break. then Bakura let go quickly, causing Ryou to fall, cradling his arm, not daring to look up at Bakura. “Now go get her out of here and get you ass back. I’m not done here .” Ryou choked back a sob but nodded and watched Bakura’s feet as he walked back up the stairs waiting until he was sure that the demon was gone before standing up and meeting back with Sabrina.

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

Sabrina watched intently as Ryou left the room with his ‘brother’. The look he had on his face didn’t look like Bakura was just going to talk to him for a second. he looked like he was going to be shot. She couldn’t get over how much Ryou and his brother looked alike, like they were twins, except Bakura was obviously much older. She noticed the same thing about Yugi and his brother Yami. She followed Bakura out of the room and hid in the corner. trying to see what was going on. She almost screamed when Ryou was violently shoved against the wall, his face mangled in a look of pure terror and pain. She gasped and hid further behind the wall, listening to everyone of Bakura’s harsh words and moved back to the door when she heard Ryou fall to the floor.

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

Ryou walked back into the hallway, gently rubbing his shoulder, and motioning to the door. Sabrina nodded silently and walked out of the apartment, with Ryou right behind her. They walked in uncomfortable silence out of the complex when Sabrina couldn’t hold her self anymore.

“Bakura’s not really your brother is he?” Ryou stopped.

“W-what...?” Sabrina turned to face him

“He’s not your brother.” This was a statement. not a question or inquisition. Ryou glanced around and pulled her into an alleyway and pushed her against the wall with is good hand.

“What gives you this idea?” Sabrina looked down at the ground for a minute before facing Ryou with teary eyes.

“Because a brother wouldn’t treat another brother that way. No matter how drunk they were.”
