Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Memories ❯ Memories-Chapter 9 ( Chapter 9 )

Huza! Chapter nine! Finally Bakura and Malik are making some progress, but unfortunately for Ryou he is still stuck as Yami's toy.

Ryou sat quietly in his desk at school; Yami had actually kept good on his promise to let him go. But Ryou was having second thoughts, other students could care less about him having a black eye…but his friends were different, he already had to run from Joey who wouldn't drop it. Ryou sighed this class would probably be the hardest, because Yugi was with him. He wondered what Yugi thought of all this…Ryou hated being separated from Bakura, and he was concerned for Yugi's feelings. Yugi walked in the classroom and instantly noticed Ryou.

"Ryou!" Yugi exclaimed

"Hey…" Ryou said meekly keeping his head down.

"Where were you yesterday? You never miss school." Yugi said

"I just wasn't up to it, I'm okay now." Ryou said

Yugi smiled slightly "How…how is Yami?" Yugi asked

"He's fine I guess." Ryou said a bit shaky

"Did you notice anything strange about him lately?"

"Strange?" Ryou said trying to sound convincing

"Yeah, he doesn't seem like his old self anymore." Yugi said taking a seat next to Ryou

"I…I haven't noticed." Ryou said quickly

Yugi wanted to talk more but the teacher called the class to attention. Yugi noticed how Ryou was keeping his head down and kept on pulling his sleeves to his shirt down to cover his wrists. Yugi was a bit curious but divided to wait till after class, they could go over to Joeys and talk, since school was let out after this period. Class went by slowly for Yugi but it all went by to fast for Ryou, he didn't want to go back to Setos but if he wanted to keep going to school he had to come straight home. Ryou sighed standing up when the bell rang, he dropped his books and Yugi went to help him pick them up.

"I have it." Ryou said but Yugi noticed his bruised wrist.

"What happened?" Yugi asked

The comment made Ryou's head shoot up. Even though he quickly brought it back down Yugi had already noticed the black eye.

"Ryou, what happened to your eye?" Yugi said trying to get another look at it.

"I…I'm okay Yugi, don't worry about it." Ryou said pushing past him leaving the classroom.

"Wait! M-maybe we can go do something today? Would you like…"

"No, I have to much homework…I'll see you later." Ryou said quickly leaving.

Yugi stood there as Joey walked up behind him.

"Hey." He said cheerfully but noticed Yugi's expression

"Why does he do that?" Yugi said almost angry

"Do what? Who?" Joey asked

"Ryou…he totally disregards the people who want to help him, just like he was with Bakura. I knew something was wrong but he didn't want my help, and even now he doesn't want my help." Yugi said

"So Yami has changed for the worse?" Joey asked

"It's not all him, I can't be…he's not like this for no reason. Someone or something is making him like he was. I know Yami he really does love Ryou, why he is doing this we need to find out and soon." Yugi said

"But isn't Ryou staying with Yami and Seto? That cant be a good combination." Joey said.

"No, your right but he wont let us help him, so lets focus on helping Yami right now." Yugi said.

"We need to involve Bakura." Joey said "He can speak to Ryou through their link, maybe he wants our help but asking for it will only cause him more problems." Joey said

"Maybe, he's over at Malik's, lets go." Yugi said

Joey took Yugi's hand as they walked from the school towards Malik's.

"My links not working! He's cut me off!" Bakura said angrily

"Yami can sense when you and him talk, he is probably making Ryou put up a block." Malik said trying to calm Bakura down a bit.

Suddenly they heard a knock at their door, and Bakura went to answer it.

"Yugi?" Bakura said, "What are you doing here."

"I…we, we need you help. Yami has Ryou and I know he's hurting him…" Yugi trailed off

"Come in" Malik said

"Thanks" Joey said as he walked behind Yugi.

"Where is he?" Bakura asked

"Yami?" Yugi asked

"Yes"

"He and Ryou moved in with Seto, I don't think Ryou wanted to but somehow Yami or Seto forced or convinced him otherwise to do so." Yugi said

"He didn't want to go, he was knocked out and taken from here in the middle of the night, and probably cannot leave the house." Bakura said

"No, because he was at school today." Yugi said

"Then Yami has a way of making him come back, a threat probably." Malik said, "He's afraid of Yami afraid of what he will do to him."

"What's wrong with him?" Yugi asked, "Can we do anything to fix it?"

"I don't know if we can fix it, but he is basically turning into the ruthless Pharaoh that he was, Ryou was one of his slaves…he obviously still wants him." Malik said

"Can we make him the way he was?" Yugi asked

"If we erase him memory yes, but I'm not sure how we can do that…besides within time he will remember again who and what he was." Bakura stated

"Our main concern is getting Ryou back, he's in danger staying with Yami." Malik said

"How can we help?" Joey said squeezing Yugi's shoulders

"Yeah, I want to help too." Yugi said

Yami watched Ryou attentively as he removed his clothing slowly, as he was told. The scars that were given to him earlier were starting to heal as Yami ran his hand down Ryou's face, neck, chest, stomach, lower and lower. Ryou winced slightly at his touch using all his willpower not to pull away; he would only be given a few warning he didn't need to waste them on this experience.

"Even in this state you are still beautiful." Yami said

He kissed Ryou passionately pulling him as close as he possibly could. Seto came behind Ryou running his hands down him back and thighs as he gently kissed and grazed his teeth along Ryou's neck. Ryou closed his eyes tightly. It will all be over soon…it will all be over soon…it will all be over soon…he repeated this phrase over and over.

I know I leave you right before the good lemony goodness comes in, but you will have something to look forward to now! Please Review!
