Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ I Never Knew ❯ I Never Knew-Chapter 9 ( Chapter 9 )

Hi and welcome, to chapter 9 to "I Never Knew" I hope you like it! Oh and just so you know I DO NOT accept flames, I got a particularly nasty review from someone telling me all my fics suck…what did I do to deserve that? I do not force anyone to read my fics and if you don't like them whatever, that's fine by me, but obviously from all the reviews I get the odds are for my writing not against it so please keep your selfish comments to yourself I really don't want to hear what you think. I am sure no one cares what you think anyway, so why not just keep your mouth shut. That is directed only to one person do not take it the wrong way he/she knows who he/she is and I hope you don't look down upon me for what I just said.

Although Ryou resisted the motion of going home with Seto he gave up eventually as he rode to his mansion in silence, curled up in the corner of the limo. Seto felt so horrible, Ryou wasn't one to lie but he couldn't understand Yami's actions in the slightest and he didn't have to see Yami hit him to know what he had done to the pale youth. Ryou hugged himself unconsciously he felt guilty for what he had said to Yugi, who probably hated him right now, he didn't mean to say those things to him he really didn't he just had so much bent up frustration and pain and…it all exploded at the most inappropriate of times. He sniffled slightly as he pulled his arms around himself tighter as if seeking comfort within himself. Seto saw Ryou curl into a tighter ball and sighed heavily, he wanted to comfort Ryou but he was afraid he would hurt him if he touched him anywhere, he moved closer to Ryou placing a hand on his head as he gently stroked his cheek lovingly and looked at him sympathetically.

"I'm sorry…" Seto said softly

Ryou shook his head "So am I…" Ryou said trailing off as he leaned onto Seto wrapping his arms around Seto's neck seeking any kind of comfort. Seto smiled and wrapped his arms around Ryou's slim waist hoping that he didn't hurt him, he wanted to protect Ryou as much as he could, and that's all that mattered to Seto at the moment. Ryou laid down in his lap, he decided it best to go to his country home instead of going back to his normal mansion where Yami could find him. Seto smiled as he stroked Ryou's hair who currently rested his head in his lap. Seto hummed softly to himself a song called Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright. Ryou knew that song well as he began to sing the lyrics softly to himself. Seto smiled as they begun to take turns with the lyrics of the song.

Ryou: "I've heard there was a secret cord,

That David Played and it pleased the lord,

But you don't really care for music do you?"

Seto: "It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth,

The minor fall the major lift,

The baffled king composes Hallelujah…

Hallelujah… Hallelujah."

Ryou: "Hallelujah… Hallelujah…

Your faith was strong but you needed proof,

You saw her bathing on the roof,

Her beauty in the moonlight, over through you."

Seto: "She tied you to a kitchen chair,

She broke your throne; she cut your hair,

And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah…

Hallelujah… Hallelujah"

Ryou: "Hallelujah… Hallelujah…

Maybe I've been here before

I know this room, I have walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew you…"

Seto: "I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah… Hallelujah…

Ryou: Hallelujah… Hallelujah…

There was a time you'd let me know

What's really going on below

But now you never show it to me do you

Seto: And remember when I moved in you

The holy dark was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah… Hallelujah…

Ryou: Hallelujah… Hallelujah…

Maybe there's a God above

And all I ever learned from love

Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

Seto: And it's not a cry you can hear at night

It's not somebody who's seen the light

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah… Hallelujah…

Ryou: Hallelujah… Hallelujah…

Seto: Hallelujah… Hallelujah…

Ryou: Hallelujah… Hallelujah…

Seto: Hallelujah… Hallelujah…

Yugi cried into his as the words Ryou had said played over and over in his mind.

"Fine…I hate you…" Ryou said softly letting his gaze fall to the floor "Is that what you wanted to her? That I utterly and totally despise you that you are the one that has caused me so much pain and devastation than I ever thought humanly possible? Or was that what you wanted to hear? Because it's true! All this shit! All this pain its all your fault!" Ryou screamed

Yugi cried until he couldn't stand the sound of his own cries. His face was streaked with tears and his eyes were red because of all the crying. Yami kissed him on the forehead. Yugi frowned he wondered how Yami could still care about him so much when he rejected him for someone who didn't even care the slightest for him. He pulled away when Yami tried to embrace him, he knew it hurt Yami to see him like this but it didn't matter he had ruined a perfectly good friendship all for the sake of love and now Ryou hated him and would never even like him as a friend anymore. He sighed and could feel Yami's anger as he listened to Yugi's thoughts about Ryou.

"Why do you still care about him so much?" Yami growled surprising Yugi

"He's my friend Yami…he may hate me but no matter what I can never hate him." Yugi said softly curious on Yami's angry words.

"I won't let him just get away with saying such horrible things to you! He had no right to be so cruel to you." Yami said

"I told him to say it though, it wasn't his fault at all Yami…I refuse to put blame on him when I told him to say it." Yugi said

"You may not pass judgment but I do! That was completely uncalled for, he had no right!" Yami screamed although not directed to Yugi

"I don't care what you think Yami, he had every right to yell at me like he did and I forgive him even if he doesn't want forgiveness or deserve it he has it!" Yugi said

"Why?!" Yami yelled

"Because that's what friends do! They forgive each other!" Yugi yelled back

Yami quickly closed his mind link and went downstairs. Yami shook his head in frustration, how could Yugi still possible care for that miserable little whelp? What the hell was wrong with him, couldn't he just accept love from someone willing to give it to him rather than put himself through pain and humiliation for someone who didn't care? It didn't make any sense in Yami's mind and it tortured him to no end that, Yugi, the one person he truly loved didn't love him back and loved as selfish whore instead…Yami growled and stormed away from the game shop. Yugi watched Yami storm away from the shop and curled up in a ball crying silently to himself once more.

I know it was kind of short but work with me here cause I can do nothing about it, I'm trying to do my best but one particular review made my self esteem drop to about zero so I'm not to happy right now. Thanks to all my positive reviewers!

PLEASE REVIEW!!!
