Doubles of Darkness, Chapter 2

Ryou tossed and turned in his sleep, unable to shake the awful feelings that plagued his mind, even in his dreams. In his dreams he kept seeing his lover tortured and abused, in a state that Ryou never wanted to see him in.

Suddenly, Ryou sat up straight in bed when the dream was too much. For a few moments, he didn't know where he was. It took him a few minutes before he remembered he was at Yugi and Joey's. He sighed and laid back down, unable to sleep because of his worry over Malik.

"What happened...?" Ryou wondered aloud. Out of nowhere, there was loud crash from outside Ryou's window - he was on the ground floor. Ryou jumped out of bed and looked out the window. Nothing. Sighing to himself and blaming it on his imagination, he climbed back into bed and luckily fell asleep.

"Dammit, Yami!" Bakura hissed. "If you're going to tag along, could you try to be quiet? You'll spoil everything! You're just lucky Ryou didn't see us!" Bakura whispered harshly from underneath Ryou's window. Yami had tripped over a pile of boxes left over from the game shop.

"Sorry, Bakura. It's not like I did it on purpose!" Yami growled. The two glared at each other in the dark for a while, before walking past Ryou's room; it was too late to get Ryou now, he was already suspicious. They'd have to go after the other one.

"Great, and this was supposed to be my turn too! Dammit, why'd you have to come along?" Bakura complained angrily as the two reached Yugi and Joey's window.

"It's not like I wanted to you know." Yami retorted. "Marik said he needed time with his innocent self, although I have my doubts about that part." Yami added.

"What are you talking about?" Bakura asked, looking inside the window, Joey and Yugi were still sleeping.

"Didn't you feel it? The energy signals in both of them are nearly the same...perhaps he's going to change it..." Yami said. Bakura sighed, annoyed.

"Of course he is you moron. That's why he wanted to be alone, now are you going to do this or not?" Bakura asked. Yami nodded and quietly opened the window.

"I'll get Yugi, you distract the other one." Yami whispered. Bakura nodded and the two of them headed inside the window. Both had black clothing on to help conceal themselves, though it didn't help their hair.

Once the two were inside, Yami grabbed a cloth from his pocket and quietly walked over to the bed were the lovers were sleeping. He walked over to Yugi's side and Bakura went to the other side. Yami took the cloth and quickly covered Yugi's mouth with it. The smaller boy's eyes flew open and he began to squirm, awakening Joey. Luckily for Yami, Bakura had his hand over Joey's mouth before he could scream, and he kept him restrained while Yami dragged Yugi out of bed.

Through all of Yugi's efforts to escape, he was no match for Yami, who soon got tired of the struggling and hit him on the head, knocking him out. Joey's muffled voice called out in anger and Bakura knocked him out as well.

Bakura left Joey on the bed, then he and Yami dragged the unconscious Yugi out of the window.

"Can you cast it now, Bakura?" Yami asked as he threw Yugi over his shoulder, Yugi moaned slightly but didn't wake.

"Yeah, I should be able to." Bakura closed his eyes and muttered a few words, his hair rising slightly in an eerie way, then the three of them disappeared.

Malik was crying, his 'copy' had let him down, but only to rape him and beat him brutally. He could barely move without feeling incredible amounts of pain. It seemed like the copy had enjoyed the pain too, he didn't stop until he was satisfied with the damage he had inflicted. Right now he was lying on the cold cement floor of what seemed to be some kind of cell, there wasn't a bed, but at least there was a blanket so he wouldn't freeze to death. He had grabbed it when he first came in, before his body quit cooperating with him. He doubted that if anyone saw him now, they wouldn't recognize him.

Suddenly, he heard voices outside.

"What did you do to him?" Yami asked.

"I had a little fun changing his energy levels." Marik said. He heard him and Bakura laugh.

"So where are you going to put him?" Bakura asked.

"Where did you put the other one?" Yami asked. There wasn't a response, so Malik assumed that one of them had just pointed or made a gesture of some kind.

"Very well, Yugi will join him." Malik stiffened, wincing in pain but ignoring it, worrying instead for the well being of Yugi, he didn't want something like this to happen to him too.

"Well I guess I'll have to turn the heat back on then." Marik sighed. Suddenly, Malik felt a warm draft of air flow over his beaten body and he sighed, feeling just a fraction of a bit better, but at least he wasn't going to freeze. Then, the wall moved, a part just seemed to flip over, revealing a bed; it did this on two separate walls, then the door was opened and Yami and Marik walked in.

"It's your lucky day." Marik growled, somewhat angrily. He lifted the beaten man and placed him on one of the beds. Across the room, Malik saw Yami gently lay Yugi onto a bed and pull the covers over him.

"What did you do?" Malik asked.

"Nothing." Yami said, then he left the room. Marik stayed and walked over to Malik.

"No...Leave me alone, please." Malik said weakly. Marik smirked. Then he bent over and kissed Malik hungrily, Malik tried his best to pull away, but the pain prevented him from doing anything more than squirming feebly. After realizing it was fruitless, he chose not to continue, possibly risking a worse punishment.

Marik pulled away and grinned.

"Sorry, but I have an unsatisfied lover to attend to, can't waste anymore time with you." Then he winked and left, slamming and locking the door behind him.

"Are you finished with him now?" Bakura asked as Marik walked into his dim chambers. Bakura liked his room to have light, but only dull like what would come from candles. He had a few dim lamps around the room, lighting it enough to see. His room was naturally black, as was everything in their entire hideout, but it still held a warm feeling. Bakura had chosen to throw a few deep violet and navy pillows and accessories in to add some colour. Unlike the cell, this place was very warm.

Bakura was sitting on the couch he had in his room, very cushioned and soft, softer than his bed which was behind him. One thing Bakura didn't like was having a lot of empty space so the bed had large post, one on each corner, stretching up to nearly the ceiling with black curtains all around the bed and a large sheet over the top. It was great for the times he and his lover were together, if anyone walked in they wouldn't see anything.

But then again, most of the time they never go much farther than the large couch.

"Yes, I have nothing left to do to him. Except...your other half...You and I could have some fun with that." Marik grinned and pushed himself off the doorframe he was leaning on. He had a large violet cape that made him look more sinister, more wild, just like his hair. He shut the door with his foot and walked up to Bakura, stopping in front of him.

"Were you jealous?" Marik grinned.

"Of course I was." Bakura said, also grinning. Marik smirked and leaned down until their noses were almost touching.

"I should punish you for doubting me." Marik whispered, sending shivers down Bakura's spine. Marik gently caressed Bakura's cheek and ran a hand through his silver hair.

"Stop toying with me, Marik, you know I hate it when you do that." Bakura said. Marik grinned.

"Very well." Marik placed one leg on each side of Bakura and straddled him, crushing their lips together and moving his hips against Bakura's, making the silver haired copy moan into his mouth.

Yami walked down the hallways of the hideout, he was bored. As usual, there was nothing to do but walk around. As he passed Bakura's room, he heard moaning coming from within.

"Not again..." Yami sighed, placing a hand on his forehead in annoyance. He continued to walk, he did not need to hear the two lovers going at it again for what seemed like the millionth time since they executed their plan. Instead, he headed towards the cell to check on Malik and Yugi. He knew that Malik would probably die soon, Marik was far from gentle when it came to torture, he never held back. He figured he should get some medical supplies and bandage the boy up so that he might survive long enough for them to carry out their task.

"Yugi...? Are...are you awake?" Malik asked. There was a movement coming from the other side of the room so he called out, not wanting to be alone anymore.

"Who...who's there?" Yugi asked. Malik sighed sadly, he had really hoped something would have prevented the copies from abducting Yugi, he was too innocent...

"It's me, Malik." Malik said, he heard the tension leave Yugi as he let out a sigh.

"Where are we?" He asked.

"I don't know." Malik said. "Are you hurt?" He added.

"...No. What about you?" Yugi asked, but Malik didn't get a chance to answer because the door opened and a figured entered, the door closing behind him. Then some dim lights were turned on, brightest near Malik. Malik froze in fear, thinking that it was his copy coming to hurt him again.

"Relax; he'll be busy for a while yet. I've just come to clean your wounds." A calm voice said. When Yugi looked at the figure he gasped.

"Who...are you?" He asked. Yami ignored him and walked over to Malik, kneeling beside his bed.

"What did he do?" He asked, only for the purpose of knowing what needed to be healed and not out of any concern for the boy.

"...It's a long list." Malik said. Yami sighed and made the lights brighter to see what damage had been done. He removed the blanket and didn't even flinch when he saw the state Malik's body was in.

"You need to lie still." Yami said. He began cleaning all of the wounds, not caring that the chemicals he used just hurt Malik even more. He continued until the wounds were clean enough to prevent infection. Then he bandaged them all up and began work on the broken bones.

"Why are you doing this?" Malik asked softly.

"Because, if you die our plan will be ruined, so don't think this is out of any sympathy I might have. I could care less except I'd rather not deal with Marik when he's pissed." Yami said. Malik stayed silent after that.

"Malik...what happened?" Yugi asked from across the room, he tried to get up but the second he started, Yami turned around, moving his hand to face Yugi with the palm right in his direction and an eye glowed on his forehead. It was so quick that Yugi was stunned and didn't have time to move away from the chain that shot out from the wall and attached to his hand, keeping him on the bed.

"If you have any sense you won't try that again." Yami growled. He turned and continued working on Malik's injuries.

"Did he rape you?" Yami calmly asked a few minutes later. Malik nodded and Yami cleaned him up.

"There. Stay still unless you want to aggravate your wounds." He said sternly. Then he packed up and left.

"Are you alright, Yugi?" Malik asked.

"I'm fine. But...what are they going to do?"

"I don't know..." Malik sighed.

"Do you know why they're keeping us?" Yugi asked.

"I only know...that our captors look a lot like us...and..." Malik trailed off.

"And...?"

"And I hope the others can protect Ryou."
