Ryou sighed walking inside his apartment; he wished he could place the look that he had seen on Dallas's face but couldn't so he shrugged it off. He checked in the guest room to see Malik sleeping soundly as he went into his room and soon fell asleep as well.

Ryou awoke to Malik shaking him softly, he groaned as he rolled over pulling the sheet's over his head. However, the covers were pulled away as he curled up trying to find the lost warmth.

"Come on Ryou!" Malik whined "Your gonna make us late!" Malik said as he started jumping on the bed.

"All right!" Ryou said as he hopped out of bed and went to his closet as he began to change quickly. "Thanks for waking me up, I forgot to set my alarm." Ryou said pulling on a white dress shirt as Malik basically pushed him out the front door. "Why are you in such a rush?" Ryou asked, "We have almost an hour." He added

"Dallas asked for me to make sure you got there early…he says he wants to talk to you." Malik said walking beside Ryou.

"Is that a good or bad thing?" Ryou asked unsurely

"Have you done anything bad recently?" Malik asked

"Not that I know of." Ryou said

"Then don't worry about it." Malik said as he looked up seeing the building in the distance as he sighed. "I wish I could quit…" He said turning on a dime.

Ryou nodded sadly, he knew that Malik couldn't leave, Dallas may be nice but he can also be very ruthless when he doesn't get what he wants. Dallas would only allow Malik to leave when he stopped making them money and Malik brought in a lot of profit even though his performance had gone downhill…he could run away but if he was ever found that hour would be his last it wasn't a recommended course of action. Ryou sighed as they walked Malik was obviously dealing with some inner struggle and what's worse was that Ryou couldn't help him.

"Hey why don't you start working with me?" Ryou said trying to lighten the mood

"We just lost one of the employees who's leaving since school will be starting soon…you could fill in her position." Ryou said.

Malik looked at him strangely "I…I have a job." Malik said

"But this one will be honest…I don't like working for Dallas anymore than you do, we did it because we had little options in life, however I found by working and going to school I'm more than what I used to be." Ryou paused "I feel good about myself, and like I can become something in life…you can too." Ryou said

Malik smiled "You wanna get me enrolled in school too?" Malik said.

"Is that a yes?" Ryou asked a smiled upon his features

"Yes." Malik said softly as they continued on.

"You saw him?! Where was he? Why didn't you stop him?!" Yami asked frantically as Bakura and Marik tried to explain.

"Will you sit down and stop screaming so maybe was can tell you what happened?" Marik said as Bakura took a seat burying his head in his hands.

Yugi took a seat beside his father wrapping his arms around his waist. He missed having contact with his father and was overjoyed when Bakura embraced him lovingly rocking him gently in his arms. For once not leaving him, he knew Bakura didn't mean to but he still felt slightly rejected whenever Bakura did so…but he was now being the loving father Yugi always wanted.

"He looked okay…" Bakura said softly. "He must be living somewhere close by." He added.

"Maybe, he might be with that guy he ran off with." Marik said noticing a pang of sadness hit Bakura as he tightened his embrace on his son.

"What guy?" Yami asked

"This guy with red and black hair, when I had grabbed Ryou he came up behind me throwing me off of him and running off with Ryou…I think he had green eyes." Marik said.

"Keep an eye out for him then?" Yami asked

"Yes, although I doubt he would help us in finding Ryou…he was more concerned with taking Ryou away. Ryou doesn't want to be found, remember that, this man was helping him get away…its understandable that he would help Ryou stay lost." Marik said.

"But in that general area is where we saw him." Bakura said, "We can look around that area, and see if we can find him or his…rescuer." Bakura said solemnly.

"We will find him." Yugi said smiling brightly "He'll come around eventually, I know Ryou to well…he knows how much we all love him and can't deny it forever. If we can't find him a assure you he will come back to us." Yugi smiled.

Marik nodded in agreement of Yugi's words, you cannot deny someone's love especially if their not forcing it, he sighed hoping Malik would realize that same fact too; He smiled at the group and left going home. Yami smiled softly as he took Yugi from Bakura's arms hugging him softly and was ecstatic when Bakura actually cracked a smile.

"I'm gonna take off a few days of work." Bakura said as Yugi, if possibly, smiled brighter, as he tightened his grip on Yami. "We'll go to the park Yugi…would you like that?" Bakura asked

"Yes! Yes!" Yugi said as he jumped form Yami to Bakura, "I've missed spending time with you!" Yugi said not willing to let go of Bakura.

Bakura smiled wider as his son held him lovingly. "Gomen." He said softly although Yugi just shook his head at the comment.

"Let's go early so we can watch the sunrise!" Yugi said.

"All right…Yami you'll have to cover for me at the company okay?" Bakura said

"Sure thing, you need some time off." Yami said as he hugged the two of them.

Ryou shifted uncomfortably on Malik's bed as he awaited their appointment.

"You know if you're really that uncomfortable with me then you should tell Dallas." Malik said, "He would understand that." Malik said

"It's not you I'm uncomfortable with…it's the kind of people you tend to attract." Ryou said knowing Malik had a tendency to attract very rough people and Ryou usually got ones that did not want to hurt him…Dallas made sure of that.

"You didn't have to agree with this…Dallas gave you a choice, he wanted both of us but if you didn't want to you could have said no." Malik said

"I know that but regardless of what Dallas said he would be disappointed that I didn't agree to this You saw how much money he put in for the two of us, it was like highway robbery…besides it'll be a good profit for both of as well, he said we could have seventy percent of the profit this time if we did well, not out usuall fifty." Ryou said. "And you said once you started working with me you would pay rent with me…you can pay off the next few months with what were getting paid." Ryou added.

"Yeah…I'm a little worried about you though, your not used to the kind of guys I have…it's not exactly easy to do well when they are hurting you." Malik said

Ryou sighed and nodded. "I know, but according to Dallas he likes it when they scream…that'll make it easier for us I guess." Ryou said

"I don't think Dallas wanted you to do this…" Malik said

"What? Are you kidding?" Ryou said

"No, not at all, he was concerned about it when he mentioned it to you and even tried to convince you otherwise…regardless of the payoff he wasn't for this idea at all." Malik said

"Why would he care? I know he looks out for us, but with this kind of profit I don't even care if I get hurt…why would he?" Ryou asked.

Malik shrugged "I don't know, he just seemed a little more worried than relieved that you agreed to this…lets not talk about him, we need to shower anyway." Malik said going into the bathroom.

Ryou bit his lower lip, he was curious now, he didn't see anything in Dallas's eyes when he said it was all right…but obviously, Malik did. Ryou shrugged it off though; he had more important matters at hand today anyway.

I know I stopped it here of all places, but do you want the lemon scene with Ryou/Malik/???? (The guy doesn't matter unless you have a suggestion, not Honda) anyway tell me what you want! Thanks to all my reviewers!
