Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Not Who They Seem To Be ❯ Part 6 ( Chapter 6 )

A/N - I was a little mean to some of the characters in this, please don't get mad at me, it's all part of the fic. Oh, and to anyone who's wondering about why I'm doing this in italics, (yes I know I'm a little late) you'll find out at the end of the fic. I couldn't tell you at the beginning because it would ruin the whole effect. Please r/r!

Not Who They Seem To Be, Chapter 6

When my Yami finally got me home, Yugi raced to the hallway where we entered. He was very worried since I had gone out by myself for hours. Funny, it didn't seem like hours.

"Ryou!Are you alright, did something happen?" Yugi asked. He was as worried as my Yami was. I looked up at him, my head still resting on my Yami's shoulder. I could barely even do that, I was so exhausted. I looked at Yugi and gave him a small smile before resting my head on my Yami's shoulder once again.

"I'm taking him to his room, he needs rest." My Yami said. He carried me up the stairs to my room and I heard Yugi follow us. He laid me on my bed and pulled the blankets up to my chin. I would have chuckled at his caring actions that weren't common with him, but I didn't have the energy left in me. Instead, I fell asleep, my Yami and Yugi by my side.

(Normal point of view.)

He was back again. Seto had him curled in his arms, he was sobbing heavily. He was trying to tell Seto what he had done, but couldn't get a clear word out.

"Calm down, tell me what happened." Through his sobbing, Yami could only mumble. Seto's urging only made him more aggravated that he couldn't tell him, so he yelled.

"I raped them, Seto!" He cried. His tears fell more heavily as he cried onto Seto's shoulder.

"Who are you talking about?" Seto asked. He ran his fingers through Yami's unruly hair in an effort to calm him.

"Ryou and Yugi. I hurt both of them!"

"Are you sure?" Seto asked. He didn't want to believe that Yami had raped two innocent boys.

"I almost hurt Ryou again…I can remember that night I first hurt them…I hate myself!" Yami sobbed. Seto continued to run his fingers through Yami's hair. It was obvious that Yami had something else inside him, something darker than even he was. If he hadn't, then his love wouldn't be so genuinely distraught. This other creature…it obviously made him lose all memory of the events. Seto had to find out what it was. He also had to tell Ryou and Yugi about it, Yami didn't hurt them intentionally.

"We have to find out what's making you do this, Yami." Seto said. "Do you know of anywhere that we could find out what it might be?" Seto asked. Yami paused in his tears to look up at Seto and think.

"That room…There's a room at home, I don't know what's in there, but I know it's my room." Yami said. Seto nodded.

"Fine, we'll look there tomorrow. You need to get some rest and I have some business to take care of. I won't be gone long." Seto lifted Yami and stood up from their spot on the floor next to his bed. He gently placed Yami in the bed and tucked him in.

"Get some sleep." He said. Yami nodded and closed his eyes, falling asleep quickly. Seto stood and looked at Yami for a few minutes before leaving the room, shutting the door behind him quietly.

Yugi and Bakura watched Ryou as he slept, alert in case he had one of his nightmares. They heard a knock downstairs at the front door and Bakura stood up, motioning for Yugi to stay and look after Ryou.

Bakura walked down the stairs and opened the front door.

"Seto…" Bakura's eyes narrowed. "What do you want?" He asked. He didn't really trust any of Yugi's friends, but somehow managed to trust Yugi just fine, it must have been Yugi's kind nature.

"I need to speak with Ryou, where is he?" Seto asked.

"You can't speak with him. I won't let you." Bakura hissed. Seto took it the wrong way and forced himself into the house, shutting the door behind him and pinning Bakura to the wall, much like Joey had done with Ryou.

"What did you do with him?!" Seto asked, worried about Ryou's well being.

"Bakura!" Yugi cried from the steps. Worried, Bakura managed to throw Seto off him and race up the steps to where Yugi was standing. Seto followed.

"What's wrong?" Bakura asked. Yugi only pointed to Ryou's bedroom. Bakura ran into the bedroom and found Ryou in the bathroom, awake, but not himself.

"Ryou, are you alright?" Bakura asked. Ryou turned to face him and he saw that Ryou had made several cuts on his arms.

"'Kura…I'm so sorry…" Then he fainted into Bakura's arms.

"Yugi!" Bakura called. Yugi and Seto raced into the room. "Call an ambulance, hurry." Yugi ran to the phone and Seto walked over to him.

"What did you do?" He accused. Bakura glared at Seto.

"I did nothing." He hissed with such anger and sincerity that Seto took a step away from the two. He watched as Bakura ran his fingers along Ryou's jaw line and stroked his hair gently, waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

"They're on their way, Bakura." Yugi said, rushing into the bedroom.

"Tell me what happened." Bakura said, trying to be calm while the love of his life was possibly dieing.

"He was crying out in his sleep again. I woke him and he just looked at me blankly and got up. I...asked him what he was doing and he said he was going to the bathroom. He was in there a while so I went in...He was cutting his arms and he was crying. Why would he want to do such a thing, Bakura?" Yugi was near tears.

"That's what I'd like to know." Seto growled. Just like everyone else, he still didn't trust Bakura.

"Stop blaming me for this!" Bakura yelled. He was so distraught that he actually started crying while holding Ryou. Seto and even Yugi took a step back. No one ever saw Bakura cry. Ever.

"I swear, when I get my hands on Yami, I will kill him." Bakura said. It was half muffled because he had his head buried in Ryou's chest.

"Don't." Seto said. Bakura looked at him angrily.

"And why shouldn't I? This is his fault! He raped them both so he deserves it." Bakura said. Just then, they heard the ambulance pull into the drive way and Bakura pushed past Yugi and Seto, carrying Ryou down the stairs, meeting the paramedics halfway.

"Would you like to ride with him?" One of them asked. Bakura shook his head.

"I have something I need to do first." The medic nodded and they quickly put Ryou in a stretcher and into the ambulance, driving away.

"Bakura, you need to listen to me, it's important." Seto said, he and Yugi walked down the stairs and stood next to Bakura who was in the open doorway. Bakura just ignored him and began walking out of the house.

"Bakura, Yami didn't do it!" Seto cried. Bakura stiffened and turned back to Seto, glaring at him.

"You have one minute to tell me why I should believe what you say and it better not be because you love him. I don't need to hear it." Bakura hissed. Seto sighed and began to tell Bakura why he knew Yami couldn't have done it.

"It does make sense, Bakura." Yugi said. Bakura nodded, defeated and walked back into the house.

"Shouldn't we go see Ryou?" Seto asked. Bakura nodded.

"I'm just going to get some of his things. Would you like to call the others, Yugi?" Bakura asked. Yugi nodded and raced to the phone.

"I'll get going then." Seto said, heading out the door.

"Why?" Bakura asked, halfway up the stairs.

"Because I'm assuming Yami can't go, and I can't leave him alone in this state. Who knows what might happen." Seto explained.

"Alright, good idea. Please let us know if anything else happens." Bakura said.

"Of course." Seto then walked out of the house and into his car, driving away.

"I called everyone except Téa." Yugi said.

"Where is she?" Bakura asked. Yugi had walked upstairs to where Bakura was busily packing a bag for Ryou, not really knowing what he would need in a hospital.

"In the hospital." Yugi said.

"Why?" Bakura asked. As he thought, something must be wrong with Téa and that's why they hadn't seen her around recently. Bakura noted the look of sadness that passed over Yugi's face and realized the reason must not be good.

"She's dieing."

A/N - To anyone that didn't already know, I hate Téa, that's why she's dieing. Oh, and because some people might get the wrong idea, no I do not hate Yami. He's one of my favourite characters, he just happened to work better as mean in this fic. Please r/r!
