Doubles of Darkness, Chapter 3

"Joey? What's the matter?" Ryou asked. He had entered the kitchen in the morning to see Joey slumped at the table, staring at his breakfast.

"Yugi...he's gone." Joey said.

"What?!" Ryou's cry startled Joey and he looked up. Ryou was shaking, frightened. "Yugi...no...Now he's gone, just like Malik! Who could be doing this?!" Ryou cried. Joey saw that Ryou was even more upset than he was, and with good reason. In two days -not even- he had already lost both his lover and one of his best friends. Joey walked over and held him, trying to comfort him.

"We're going to get them back, Ryou. I'm calling Tristan, Otogi and Seto. We're going to find them no matter what." He gripped Ryou tightly, then let go and walked over to phone, calling what remained of their group. He purposely avoided the women, all they would do was worry and they already had enough of that.

Meanwhile, Ryou went up the stairs to the bathroom to change - he had brought some clothes with him - and to clean up before the others arrived, he couldn't let them see what a mess he was, they didn't even know about him and Malik yet. He was still debating whether or not to tell them, he really wanted to do it with Malik next to him.

"Ryou, are you alright?" Joey called from downstairs.

"Fine! I'm just getting changed!" Ryou called back. He heard Joey's voice of acknowledgement and Ryou went back to what he was doing. He heard noises outside, but ignored them. It sounded like...laughing. Ryou shivered, remembering the noises he heard the night before and quickly headed back down the stairs.

When he got back down, everyone was already there. Ryou felt kind of strange, they were all looking at him as he entered the room. Did they know about him and Malik? Unless Joey said something, he doubted it. It must have been his choice of clothes, he was wearing loose black clothing, Malik had liked to see him in it. The black made his hair and skin stand out and since the clothes were big on him, they made him look smaller and younger. Ryou mostly just wore them because they were comfortable.

"You all got here fast..." Ryou whispered. They all nodded.

"Of course, Malik and Yugi are our friends, we have to do something." Tristan said. The others nodded in agreement.

"Well, then maybe you should go outside...I heard laughing outside and last night there was a crash outside my window." Ryou said. The others stood up quickly.

"We'll go look, you better stay in here, they might be after you too." Joey said. Ryou nodded, not really wanting to go anyways. The others headed outside and began searching.

Ryou sat and waited in the bedroom he was currently occupying. He was really worried for the others, not knowing if they were safe or hurt. If only he had checked out that noise the night before...then maybe Yugi would still be here.

"But you wouldn't." A voice said from behind. A harsh, cruel voice that made Ryou shiver. He turned around and gasped. Two figures, one like himself and the other like Malik.

"Who...Who are you?" Ryou asked, backing away. They may look like him and his lover, but he wouldn't be fooled for a second, these two were definitely up to no good. The one that looked like Malik ignored his question and turned to the other one.

"Did you leave the note, Bakura?" He asked. It was then that Ryou noticed how close they were standing to each other. It seemed that they didn't just look alike.

Bakura nodded and they turned back to him.

"Good, there won't be time once we have him; I expect he'll put up quite a fight, don't you?" He smirked.

"Of course, Marik, that's why I brought you and not Yami." Bakura grinned. Marik feigned hurt.

"I hope that's not the only reason." The two laughed and turned to Ryou. The moment Ryou started backing away, they pounced on him, pinning him to the floor.

"Tie his arms, Bakura." Marik said. Bakura flipped Ryou onto his stomach and pulled his hands behind his back while Marik held him down. Ryou struggled but it didn't get him anywhere and soon his hands were tied.

"Let's get going." Marik said. He lifted Ryou off the ground with his hair and stood him up. Ryou struggled when they started dragging him by the handcuffs but then froze. Marik had turned him around and forced his lips on his own. When he pulled away he whispered, "Don't make me do the same thing I did to your lover. You look too much like Bakura." He whispered it only so Ryou could hear. Ryou just nodded and let them drag him out of the house, unfortunately missing Joey and the others. Bakura had covered his mouth with his hand to make sure he didn't call out.

"Guys, I don't see anything." Joey said. They walked around the outside of the shop and found nothing, but they did see the pile of overturned boxes.

"Probably just a cat. Don't worry, Joey, we'll find who kidnapped them." Otogi said, placing a hand on Joey's shoulder.

"I sure hope so." Joey said. They turned and went back into the house.

"Sorry Ryou, we didn't find anything." Joey said. But he looked and Ryou wasn't there. "...Ryou?" Joey said.

"Oh no...They must have gotten him when we were outside!" Tristan said.

"Ryou!" Joey called. They all went around the house, searching for Ryou but he wasn't there.

"Guys, I found a note." Seto said when they got back together in the living room.

Sorry, but your friends will not be returning to you but if you would like to 'try' to rescue them, then flip over this note.

When they flipped it over, there was a map drawn showing where their enemy was. They immediately knew what they were going to do and headed out.

"Stop struggling, Ryou. Remember my warning." Marik said. Bakura looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "Not important, Bakura, don't worry." Marik said. Bakura looked at him, knowing he was hiding something, but let it drop.

"So, do you think they'll come after us?" Bakura asked.

"Of course, anything to get their friends back. I'm just excited to see what they'll do once they enter our realm." Marik smirked. Ryou saw that they were distracted and Marik's hold loosened because of it. Ryou suddenly took off, the other two hot on his trail.

Ryou ran into an alley, a shortcut he knew would take him straight to Mai's. They didn't get along, but he was desperate; anything to get away.

But unexpectedly, he tripped and fell forwards, hard. His hands were tied behind him leaving him with nothing to lighten the impact and giving his two captors a chance to catch up.

"You little brat." Marik hissed. Marik grabbed a chunk of Ryou's hair and lifted him to his feet roughly. He was about to hurt him, but Bakura stopped him.

"Don't, Marik. Leave him be, I'll take care of him. Besides, we knew he would try to leave so no harm done, and I think you might kill him for it. Remember, we need him alive." Bakura said, placing a hand on Marik's arm. Marik nodded and flung Ryou over his shoulder.

"Let's get going."

"Malik...do you think they're going to kill us?" Yugi asked. Malik didn't answer. He wasn't feeling up to talking with Yugi and he didn't know anyways. Yugi noticed and let the question drop. "I hope Ryou is safe." The moment he said that, the door was opened and Marik and Bakura walked in. Once again, a wall turned and another bed was revealed. So now Yugi was on the left side of the door, Malik on the right and the new bed directly in front of it. [1]

"Sorry to disappoint you." Bakura chuckled. He took something heavy from Marik and walked into the cell. It was dark and they could only see the outlines, but more was revealed as Bakura walked farther into the cell.

"Ryou!" Malik called out. He would move for him, but the pain prevented it. Marik laughed.

"Yes, now we have everyone we need. Make yourselves comfy, you're going to be here a while." He smirked and motioned for Bakura to come to him. Bakura nodded and laid Ryou on the bed, obviously unconscious, and untied his hands.

"Sleep well, children." Bakura laughed and walked out. The door closed, but not before they saw Bakura walk up to Marik and the two of them shared a passionate kiss before walking off.

Once they were gone, Malik turned his attention back to Ryou.

"Ryou..." He said. The silver haired boy stirred on the bed and slowly opened his eyes.

"Huh...? Where...what....?" He mumbled.

"Ryou." Malik said. Ryou turned to look at the voice.

"Who...Malik?" Ryou asked, squinting to see the face attached to the voice.

"It's me." Malik said. Ryou's eyes shone happily and he got off the bed, hurrying over to Malik. His expression turned downcast when he saw the bandages and bruises on his body.

"Oh Malik...what happened to you?" Ryou asked quietly, tears building in his eyes, ready to fall. Malik lifted a hand and wiped them from his eyes.

"I'm all right, Ryou. Don't cry." Malik avoided the question and just motioned for Ryou to come closer. When he was close enough, Malik pulled him into a gentle embrace.

"Malik I'm so sorry...I didn't know what happened and I couldn't find you...and then Yugi..." He said sadly. Malik gently rubbed his back, soothing him.

"I'll be alright. The others will come, it's going to be fine." Malik whispered. Their voices too quiet for Yugi to hear.

"I really hope so. But I've missed you so much! I was so worried." And regardless of Malik's assurances, Ryou began to cry, Malik just held him tighter, ignoring his pain; Ryou was more important.

So lucky... Yugi thought. They have each other...and I'm all alone...I miss Joey. Yugi fought back his tears and laid down, closing his eyes and falling asleep.

"Marik we just-" Bakura's complaint was cut off as his lips were captured by Marik's who lifted him up and carried him to the bed, pinning him underneath himself.

"You have a complaint?" Marik asked when he pulled away, raising an eyebrow.

Bakura, slightly drunk from the kiss, shook his head and pulled Marik down and their lips met again.

For the second time in two days, Yami walked past Bakura's room, only to hear moaning again.

This is really getting out of hand. Yami sighed. He was about to pound on their door and tell them to knock it off, when the small monitor on his belt beeped. He held it up and went through the menu, checking the different cameras. He smirked at what he saw.

"Gotcha." He grinned at the group he saw on his small screen and pulled out a piece of paper and pen, writing Bakura and Marik a note and sliding it under the door, then walked off to the control room.

"This place is really strange." Joey said. He was walking around the hallways that seemed to never end and were only dimly lit. The lighting was used to Otogi's advantage as he used it to move closer to Joey.

"Finally, a door!" Tristan said relieved, they opened it up and walked inside. Once they were all inside, the door slammed shut. It was really dark, but there seemed to be light illuminating their bodies. When they turned to where the door was, all they saw was black. They turned so many times that they soon forgot which direction they had come in.

"Great, now we're trapped." Joey said. Then laughter filtered through the darkness and a monitor appeared. The figure looking a lot like Yugi, but obviously wasn't.

"Greetings, lost your way?" He asked, grinning.

"Hey! Where are you keeping our friends." Joey said angrily, not liking the man's mocking tone.

"You'll see them soon enough...that is, if you pass the tests." He smirked.

"Tests? What are you talking about?" Seto said. The figure in the monitor stared at him for a few seconds, seemingly in awe before he shook his head clear and turned to the others.

"Perhaps I should say 'trial'. We're testing for your loyalty, strength, etc. If you pass, then you can see your friends. However, if you fail, you'll be trapped forever. But, each test, whether it involves all of you or not, is individual. So you may lose some comrades on your way." Yami laughed in a decidedly evil way and cleared his throat, his expression turned serious and commanding. "Commencing the first trial." Then his face disappeared along with Tristan and Seto.

"What the...what happened?!" Joey cried. The voice appeared again, only there wasn't an image.

"Relax, this trial does not concern them so they are not here. This one concerns a matter that I noticed the second you stepped into our fortress." He said calmly.

"What? What are you talking about?" Joey insisted. The voice did not respond. Joey sighed in aggravation and slumped to the floor.

"Well this is exciting." Joey said sarcastically. Otogi smirked at the joke, but lost it when a voice entered his head.

You know you want to. Go ahead, no one else is here, you're all alone. It said. Otogi looked around, searching for the source.

I'm only in your mind, you cannot see me. It said, amused. Then it continued. If you do it now, no one will ever know.

What are you talking about? Otogi asked. He used his mind, not wanting Joey to think he was crazy.

Please, it's obvious that you want him. Go ahead, you know you can easily over power him. Even when he isn't worried you could. It said. Otogi shook his head.

No, Joey is my friend and he loves Yugi, I couldn't do that to him.

Ah, but you can. Yugi won't know and Joey will forget all about him once you've had your way. You're much better than Yugi, and you know it. It insisted. Otogi hesitated.

What do I do?

Good boy. Just walk over to him and seduce him, if he resists, continue. Don't stop until you're satisfied.The voice laughed and Otogi smirked. He began walking over to Joey and knelt behind him, placing a hand on his shoulder. Joey turned around.

"Otogi? What-" Otogi cut him off, kissing him. Joey struggled, but Otogi ignored him and pinned him underneath his body.

Remember, if he cries out, no one will hear him. Be as rough as you like. Otogi mentally nodded and ripped open Joey's shirt, straddling his waist and pulled away from his lips, grinning.

"Otogi! What are you doing?" Joey asked, squirming. Otogi grabbed his wrists and pinned them above his head.

"Relax, Joey. You'll like what I have in store for you and no one will know." He whispered in his ear. Joey shivered but continued to struggle.

"Don't make me hurt you, Joey." Otogi growled. Joey laid still as Otogi captured his lips again, reaching a hand down to toy with one of his nipples. Joey gasped and Otogi slipped his tongue inside Joey's mouth, kissing deeply.

Suddenly, Joey threw Otogi off him.

"What are you doing?!" He yelled. Otogi glared and his voice became commanding.

"Rope." He said. Suddenly, a rope appeared in his hands and he pinned Joey again, tying his hands above his head.

"I told you not to struggle." He hissed and kissed him again, tightening the ropes roughly making Joey gasp in pain, once again opening his mouth for Otogi.

Otogi moved his hands down and started undoing Joey's pants, as expected, Joey struggled. Unfortunately for Joey, all that got him was a harsh slap across the face. Joey fought back the tears, not wanting to provoke Otogi to do anything else.

"It's all right if you cry, Joey. I know how it must hurt." Otogi said, almost gently. However, it was his last show of kindness as the next thing he did was roughly yank off Joey's pants.

"Are we missing anything?" Marik asked as he and Bakura - who was practically drunk even though he hadn't had any alcohol - walked into the control room. "We got the message." He added.

"First trial is in progress, take a look." Yami moved aside from the screen and Bakura and Marik peered into the dark room.

"This is very good...isn't that little Yugi's lover?" Marik asked. Yami nodded in response.

"Very good...so how'd you get him to do this, Yami?" Bakura asked lazily.

"It was in his mind since the moment he set foot here. I think he's jealous." Yami grinned. "The other two are in the waiting room." Marik nodded.

"So it seems he shall fail his first trial...or maybe we should say pass, this is very interesting." Marik grinned. The three of them looked at the screen just in time to hear Joey scream as Otogi began the violation of his body.

"Do you supposed...He's still a virgin even though he's with Yugi?" Yami asked. The other two nodded.

"Yes, he's probably always on top so he hasn't done this before. Otogi would have known that so I can see that he's very easily convinced. When this is over, send him to my room, I have some work to do." Marik smirked and walked away.

1 - This is from the view of where the new bed is, so if you stand at the back of the room and face the door, that's where the other two beds are.

A/N - I hope you liked this. Please r/r!
