Malik Lover and Bakurasgirl worshipper: I love it when Bakura is snarling and growling…and naked…*does of hotness overload* Unbreak My Heart Aten continued to lay on Ryou's arm in a daze. He nuzzled into Ryou when a knock sounded on the door. Aten's eyes opened wide and he clutched onto Ryou tightly, whimpering and pleading silently for the visitor not to be Malik. Marik gripped the Millennium Rod and Aria grabbed her doll, Jessica, and followed Marik to the door. A little growl ensued from the chibi Bakura. Marik opened the door and there stood Mr. Cullen. "Mr. Cullen?" Aria's eyes lit up and she wrapped her arms around Mr. Cullen excitedly. "Mr. Cullen! You came to see us!" Aten turned around in Ryou's arms with a happy squeal. "Misser Tuwwen!" Ryou put Aten down on the ground and Aten limped over to his former teacher. Cullen kneeled down and Aria clung to Cullen's left shoulder. Aten clung to Cullen's right shoulder. "I heard you weren't feeling well, Aten." Aten shook his head. "No. I not feel well." Cullen ruffled the chibi's hair. "That's too bad, kiddo. Sorry to hear it. Well, with your mommy and daddy, you'll be feeling well in no time." Aten smiled and pressed his cheek against Cullen affectionately. "I no tee you in foreffer! I mits you, Misser Tuwwen." Cullen chuckled. "Same here. Can I come in, Mister Ishtar?" Marik narrowed his eyes. "No. Call me by my given name." Cullen raised an eyebrow. "You really hate it when people call you that, don't you?" Marik rolled his eyes. "Oh for Ra's sake, just come in!" Cullen entered. Ryou stood up and quickly began picking up Aria's toys to clean up. "Mr. Cullen, what are you doing here?" Cullen shrugged. "I heard Aten wasn't feeling well and I just decided to stop by." "Oh. Well, that's nice of you." "How is Aten doing at school?" Aten sighed sadly and limped to his toys. "We removed Aten and Aria from that school," Ryou said. "The kids and the teachers beat Aria. And--." Cullen looked down at the little girl. "They beat you?" Aria pouted and nodded sadly. "The teacher hit me on my bum. Hard." Cullen narrowed his eyes. "That's awful!" Aria folded her arms. "It really made me mad!" "I'm sure it did." "What have you been doing lately, Mr. Cullen?" Cullen shrugged. "I got a new teaching job at Domino Academy. I teach Kindergarten there." Ryou raised an eyebrow. "Isn't Hayden going there, Marik?" "You mean Hayden Kaiba?" Ryou nodded. "That kid is really sweet. Quiet, too. He doesn't say much." "Do you like teaching there? Is it expensive?" Marik asked. Cullen leaned against the door casually. "It's a great school! It is quite pricey, but the education is the best in the country." Marik looked down, disappointed. "My boy needs a good school." Cullen ruffled the boy's hair again. "Well, if you can apply, I can certainly speak to the principal on Aten's behalf." Ryou's eyes widened. "Really? You'll do that for Aten?" "Sure. I can do that." "Thank you, Mr. Cullen. I'll look into it tomorrow." Cullen turned to Aten. "Well, kiddo, I have to split. I'll see you later, alright?" Aten nodded. "Will I tee you aden?" Cullen smirked. "I don't see why not. Be good for mommy and daddy." Aten nodded. "Otay." Cullen left and Marik shut the door. "Do you think we should enroll Aten and Aria in that school, Marik?" Marik crossed his arms and sighed. "Well, I don't know how the hell I'm going to afford it, but, go ahead and look into it. Maybe I can strike a deal with Rich-Boy. We can't afford it on my salary, but maybe I can tell Seto that I will work it off." "How long do you think it will take?" Marik shrugged. "I don't know. I'm already dead. Time really isn't an issue." Ryou saw the logic in such reasoning. "I better feed Bakura. He should be happy. He starts a new liver today." Ryou cut another raw liver in half and made some of the blood from the styrofoam package trickle onto the raw meat. Ryou carried it upstairs and opened the door. Ryou gasped when he saw Bakura on the floor, struggling to crawl to the door! Ryou put the meat down and kneeled beside Bakura. "Yami, what are you doing?" "Trying….get….downstairs…." Ryou helped Bakura to his feet and back into bed. Bakura winced as his body lay back down on the mattress. "Ryou…please…I don't need….help." "Yami, you can't even stand up. Here, I brought your dinner to you." Ryou went over to the bureau and retrieved the plate and glass of water. Ryou sat beside his yami and looked up at him with large, teary eyes. "Bakura? Do…do you want to feed yourself? Or do you want me to feed you?" Bakura reached up and cupped Ryou's cheek in his hand. "Thank you," Bakura whispered softly. A smile emerged from the corner of Ryou's lips. "For what?" "For being here for me. For helping me. And….for loving me." Ryou blushed. "But, that's my job, isn't it? I am your husband, yami," he said sheepishly. Bakura shook his head. "You could have walked away, Ryou. You could have left me. But, you didn't." Ryou stroked Bakura's cheek. "I couldn't leave you, love. You are everything to me." Bakura's hand slid down to Ryou's chest. "Please kiss me, Ryou. I've waited so long to kiss you." The white-haired hikari leaned into the yami and pressed his lips softly against his husband's. Ryou's closed eyes began seeping tears as both of Bakura's hands came up to touch Ryou's cheeks. Bakura's tongue gained entrance to Ryou's mouth, rubbing against Ryou's tongue gently. The yami stroked the roof of his lover's warm cavern. Ryou explored his yami's warm orifice slowly caressing everything inside. Bakura pulled back from the kiss and leaned against the pillows of the bed, panting. His eyelids were half-closed. The kiss had exhausted him. Ryou put a piece of meat on a fork and fed it to Bakura. Bakura chewed at the raw meat with his left hand on Ryou's leg, rubbing it slowly. When Bakura had finished, he opened his arms and Ryou snuggled up against him. Bakura threw the covers over both of them and gathered his hikari to his chest. Ryou buried his face in Bakura's chest and let out a sob. "Ryou? What is the matter, love?" "I didn't think we would ever be able to do this again, Bakura. I thought you were going to leave me forever." Bakura caressed Ryou's white hair. "I will never leave you, Ryou. I promise. We will always be together." Bakura took Ryou's hand and kissed it. "'Together Forever,' Ryou. That's on our wedding bands because that is how it will always be between us. Together Forever, my angel." Ryou smiled. "I love you, yami." ************************** Marik's POV Don't leave me in all this pain Don't leave me out in the rain Come back and bring back my smile Come and take these tears away Ryou retreated to his room to stay with Bakura for the night. Me? I went to an empty bed. Ryou laid beside his yami. I pulled back the covers, stripped, and lid between the sheets, my hand touching the empty space my hikari should be occupying. I wanted Aten to stay with me. At least I would have someone to cuddle. Aten didn't even want me to come near him tonight. He wouldn't even let me read to him. What have I done wrong? After I shut the door on my hikari, I felt empty. Sad. Betrayed. Never will I admit to Ryou that I missed Malik. I buried my face in my pillow to hide the tears. Whatever I did, I couldn't let Aten or Ryou see me cry. Aten has to grow up thinking his daddy is strong, powerful. I know there's a large part of me that just wants to hug and cuddle him, but lately he doesn't want that. Maybe I shouldn't think about that. I'm crying more? Damn it. I need your arms to hold me now The nights are so unkind Bring back those nights when I held you beside me I miss you, Malik! I'm sorry! I should have taken you back! My arms wrap around myself and I'm trying to imagine you holding me in your beautiful arms. I'm alone. I don't like to sleep alone. Never did enjoy being alone. Un-break my heart Say you'll love me again Our wedding night meant a lot to me, Malik. You always told me that you would love me forever. Did you mean what you said? That is all I need to hear. I need to hear that you still love me. Do you? Do you really love me or is our love nothing more than an illusion, a fool's paradise? Because I don't want to be a fool. Are we fooling each other? Do you really love me? Can we forgive and forget? Forgive….yes. Forget……no. If you do love me, Malik Ishtar, please come back to me. Tell me that you still love me. Because I still love you. Un-do this hurt you caused When you walked out the door And walked outta my life After the kitchen incident, you just left. When that door slammed shut, everything changed between us. Even after you hurt me, I would have accepted you back into my life. But, you hurt Aten. That I cannot forgive. I want you back. I want to believe you. I want to believe that you are innocent and all this is a bad dream, a nightmare from which I cannot awaken. Un-cry these tears I cried so many nights Un-break my heart, my heart It's a good thing my pillow is thick. It does a good job of muffling my crying. There was nothing different tonight than any other night. I cried for you, Marik, but you will never know that. You will never know how much I cried for you to come back to me. I want both of us to return to the way we once were with each other. I want to hold you and kiss you. I'll stop crying, Malik…..just come back to me. Take back that sad word good-bye Bring back the joy to my life Don't leave me here with these tears Come and kiss this pain away Never in my dreams did I imagine it would hurt to be without my hikari. He was the other half of my soul. I'm empty, lonely, unfulfilled, and incomplete without him. Come back to me, Malik. Please. Please, Malik. Return to me….walk through the door…kiss me with those honey-sweet lips. Let me hold you. Kiss you. Stroke your golden hair. Lay my head against your light chocolate skin. Make love to me the way you used to. Don't leave me alone another night, hoping and wishing you would come through the door. I can't forget the day you left Time is so unkind And life is so cruel without you here beside me When will you come back to me? When will you sleep beside me again? I'll never forget when you left me bleeding in the kitchen. As I laid on this bed for days, I asked myself why I didn't fight back. Why didn't I resist? Why do I feel responsible for letting it happen? I could have fought you off. I could have turned around, grabbed you, and kicked your ass to the Underworld and back. But I didn't. That idea scares me more than what you did to me. And yet I miss you terribly. I want you back. Please come back to me, my husband. My Malik…please come back. Ohh, oh Don't leave me in all this pain Don't leave me out in the rain Bring back the nights when I held you beside me Malik, I just want this pain to go away. I want you to come back to me. Come home. Lay beside me. Maybe we can work this out. Maybe. I want to work this out. I need you, Malik Ishtar. I can only hope you want to work this out. Un-break my Un-break my heart, oh baby Come back and say you love me Un-break my heart Sweet darlin' Malik, I just need to hear that you love me again. That is all I need to hear from you. Please come back to me so we can be together again. You may have hurt Aten, but I still want you back. I still love you. I love you. Without you I just can't go on I turned on my stomach and crossed my arms against my chest. This is how Bakura buried me after I died and I continued to sleep like this. A final tear slid down my cheek. I need you, Malik. I miss you, Malik. I love you, hikari. Can't go on I can't go on without you, my Light. Wherever you are tonight, my love, goodnight.
