Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Supernatural Yamis, Normal Hikaries ❯ Encountering the Dorobou Bakura. ( Chapter 4 )

After a while of spending time with Bakura, Marik walked home. It was still rather light. He seemed to have forgotten about Ryou, Marik blinked. Where did that other vampire take Ryou? He wondered and shrugged and walked home. I bet Baku will make sure that other vampire won't hurt Ryou, I guess it's alright.

Marik turned a corner to find his house. “I wonder if I was gone too long, at least we all have these watches…” Marik said looking down at his purple watch. “Whoa, I think that was long, I hope Isis doesn't give me heck” Marik sighed and walked to the door of his house.

He walked in to find his house empty. Hmm maybe they were both busy? Oh well it's not like I'm a little child anymore and rely on them for everything. Marik walked in, ran up the stairs to his room, put his back pack down and ran back down into the kitchen. Hm I wonder if Baku would want to try my cooking.

“Are you having fun there? Marik?” a voice said. Surprised Marik jumped and turned around to find Malik crouched on the open window sill.

“You had Ryou! Where is he?” Marik asked, still a bit surprised.

“I returned him to his place, which seemed so easy to find and that school has little security for the students that go there,” Malik said grinning.

“Aren't you usually with Bakura?” Marik questioned.

“Aren't you usually with little Ryou?” Malik jumped down off the window sill.

“Why do you insist on calling him that?” Marik walked over to the pantry.

“He's cute, like you are too, but Tomodachi would get on my case if I did anything with you.” Malik said, walking up to Marik. “So, what do you humans do these days?”

“We can cook, or I can, dunno about Yuugi, or you…” Marik said taking out cooking stuff.

“Hmm… nope, I can't no one around to each me not even family,” Malik said looking down. “Not like they ever cared,”

Marik stared. “not any part of your family cared to teach you?”

Malik closed his eyes. “why should it matter to a human? I have a family of vampires now that notice me just fine!”

“I can always teach you, I never got your name it's not like it's you doing anything with me, it's me teaching you something.” Marik offered. “You can help with this, I'll run you through it and maybe depending on whether or not you come again I can show you how to cook different things,” Marik said slightly smiling.

Malik looked at Marik awkwardly. Is this guy really a human? He asks me like I was human, like …Dorobou Bakura never bit me.

 

“He'll be the first to feel the pleasure!” Dorobou Bakura said biting into Malik's neck.

“Ahh!!!”

 

A single tear ran down Malik's face. “Why do you do this? I'm a vampire.”

“Why did you two decide to suddenly go to me and Ryou, and you didn't kill us like I thought all vampires did?” Marik said taking out a frying pan.

“…after that you …you…”

Marik sighed. “You didn't have a family that cared for you, I would bet that it's hard to talk about family when they did nothing with you.”

It's like he knows how I feel, but how? Malik said his eyes grew wide. “…you have family?”

“I have, but very little, I have a sister and adopted brother Rishid, that is all the family I really have.” Marik blinked. “…what is your name? you never said it when I said I never got what it was,”

He has little family? Dorobou Bakura can't get to them at all, he can't find out that Tomodachi loves him! Malik thought. Malik came to where Marik had all the cooking supplies and food. “My name is Malik, can you teach me this thing you call cooking?”

“Malik, it sounds kinda like mine, in a way,” Marik looked at a clump of garlic. “Changing the thing I wanted to do, if I teach you with any recipe that involves garlic you won't stand it..”

“Hmm… yea…” Malik said noticing the garlic.

After a while, Marik came with new food to cook. “Ok, now to teach you.”

Malik looked around at all the cooking supplies, he stopped at a knife. Hmm. He thought grabbing the knife and staring at it.

Marik noticed what Marik just did and held Malik's wrist. “you shouldn't go and play with things like this, Malik” Marik took the knife carefully out of Malik's hand.

Malik glared. “It's interesting!” he cried taking one side of the knife back.

“Malik! It's not safe to do that! Malik!!” he said pulling back on the other side of the knife, the bad side to be holding onto.

Malik still pulled, and accidentally cut Marik's hands.

“Ahh!”

 

“Ahh!!!”

 

Malik gasped and let go, the knife dropped to the floor. Malik looked across where the knife fell and found blood dripping. He looked up and found Marik holding up his two bleeding hands. No! I didn't! Malik thought frantically looking around. Tomodachi, h-he can't know! Malik started to run to the same way he came, but Marik grabbed his shirt. Malik screamed.

“Malik! It's ok!”

 

“Whoa, don't worry! Tomodachi! It's ok!”

 

Malik just stared, still afraid of what he just did. “Gomen! Gomen!!” he started shouting, his hands at the sides of his head closing his eyes.

Marik pulled on Malik's shirt. “it's ok, really…ow… come on… I can explain it to Bakura, don't worry, it was an accident!”

Tears ran down Malik's face and onto the floor. He looked at Marik, You'd forgive me?”

Marik nodded in pain. “Yes, now come maybe I can teach you something else.” Marik walked to another part of the room. “C'mon…”

Malik hesitated, but soon followed Marik.

“You'd forgive me?” he repeated.

“Yes, it's not like you meant to, why are you so afraid?” Marik asked taking down a first aid kit down from the cupboard in the bathroom.

“I…I…was always punished if I hurt someone, that would be the only real time they'd notice me…they'd abuse me…” Malik said uneasily.

“Now I wonder, what kind of family is that if the only think that they notice about you is… a reason to hurt… not very family-like” Marik said opening up the first aid kit.

 

“Now I wonder, he's your brother, and he doesn't tell you anything that's going on? That isn't very brotherly.”

 

Malik stared. Why is he saying something like what I said to Bakura about, Dorobou Bakura? Are we similar? Am I similar to Tomodachi? Is Marik… related to me? Malik thought.

“Malik… hold this and follow what I say,” Marik said giving Malik some bandages from the first aid kit.

Malik took them as he was told. “Yes? What now?” Malik asked staring at the bandages.

“Put them down on the bathroom sink for now…” Marik got some tissue from the first aid kit. “Wipe off the blood and then wrap the bandages,”

Malik just stared. He trusts me with this? Malik thought staring at the blood all over Marik's hands. I guess I'll have to try and ignore the smell.

Malik took the tissue and started wiping off the blood on the cuts on Marik's hands, trying to ignore the smell of blood that would drive a vampire like him mad if he didn't drink it. “Wh-What now? Wrapping? Show me…” Malik held the bandages confused until Marik guided him with one hand, he soon got the hang of it and did the same to the other hand.

When he finished he all off a sudden ran out into another room and gasped for air. Marik came in, hands bandaged and placed one hand on Malik's shoulders.

“I won't count on getting hurt often, it would have driven you mad, right?”

Malik, still gasping turned his head to look at Marik.

“…H-How c-could you trust me like that? I'm a vampire and we drink blood! Oh Ra! I feel like I had to stop being a vampire for… hours but it wasn't that long… gah!” Malik held his head.

“I'm sorry, maybe you should go I don't want to make you suffer and plus…” Marik said looking through a window. “It's sunset… and Bakura wanted to come… meeting in the front of my house, so…”

Malik stared at Marik. “I-I…don't want him to know, but you said you'd explain… I know you would, I dunno…”

“Go…I'll explain, and I'll tell him not to put pressure on you or anything, you never meant for it to happen, Malik.” Malik turned around. “Maybe I can still teach you, but it'd have to involve me using the sharp things, I am always careful and it won't be out in the open,”

Malik blinked, then nodded. “Maybe you can…” he started for the window. “…I don't want to get punished again” with that Malik jumped through the open window and disappeared.

Marik smiled. “You won't be…not anymore.”

 

Malik ran, watching out for humans. He forgave me! Malik thought happily as he ran, passing by a hooded figure. Huh?!

“SO how is the life of a vampire for you, Malik.” The figure said, turning to Malik.

Malik's eyes grew wide. No! it isn't him! Malik backed away.

The figure grinned, showing a fang, that was recognizable by Malik.

Malik gasped. It's can't be you!! Malik thought turning to run, but the figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

“Are you not glad to see me, Malik?” the figure said putting his hood down to reveal that it was Dorobou Bakura.

“No… keep away from me!!” Malik cried and started running in the other direction.

“Oh this will be fun!” Dorobou Bakura said grinning.

How did he get here that fast? Did he hear anything I said to Marik? No! No!!

“TOMODACHI!!”

 

(Baku's POV)

 

I was waiting for Marik to show; when he did I heard something.

“What's wrong?” Marik questioned, I noticed his hands were bandaged.

“M-Marik… what happened to your hands?” I asked, holding one of Marik's hands.

“That…well, Malik came to see me earlier… he didn't do anything with me! Don't get the wrong idea, but I wanted to teach him how to cook and I left a knife out in the open, I told him not to play with it so I took it but from the sharp part and…I got cut. It wasn't his fault!”

I let go of his hand. “I understand,”

Marik sighed in relief.

“TOMODACHI!”

I turned as soon as I heard that. “Malik… Tomodachi!”

“What? What is it?”

“Stay, I'll be back later…”

“But…”

“Stay!!” I shouted and jumped up.

I leaped from house to house, searching and worried. Malik? Where are you? What—I thought then got a familiar feeling. Dorobou Bakura!!

 

Malik fell backwards to a wall as Dorobou Bakura began to walk closer.

“I should just have fun here tormenting you about your past, hated boy!”

“Stop! Go away!!” Malik screamed trying to slide away from Dorobou Bakura.

“Are you expecting you little tomodachi to come? How pathetic of you!” Dorobou Bakura said disappointedly. “You don't have a human who cares for you! Bakura is a vampire! I just gave you a gift, only vampires could like you! NO ONE fucking cares for you but what I made you into!”

“DOROBOU BAKURA!” I said angrily. “Get the fuck away from him! You damn cursed him! I am the naturally born vampire! You are just fucking disgusting!!”

Dorobou Bakura turned his head. “So you did come for the unnaturally born vampire… how noble, otouto-chan.”

I clinched my teeth and my fist. “Shut up! Leave him alone! You have done enough! I've had it with you and your tormenting Malik!”

Dorobou Bakura disappeared, reappeared holding my neck. “I'm not done living the pleasure of a vampire, I have yet to torment more useless mortals, even if that mortal is immortal now” Dorobou Bakura licked his lips. I pushed his arm away.

“You think I'll fucking let you?!”

Dorobou Bakura laughed. “Oh this is just SO fun! My own otouto trying to stop me? That's great…if he can!”

I glared at him. “Damn right I will!!” I charged at him, my claws out and attacked him, as usual he ended up dodging them easily, surprisingly to him I lifted my leg to kick him, his head flung back blood flying from his mouth, which I wanted to see for a while.

Malik sat in the same place, watching, and scared at the same time.

While Dorobou Bakura was down I grabbed his neck. “How does it feel to have hands around YOUR damn neck, like you hand yours around Malik's neck and even mine!” I lifted him up and threw him to another wall. “I'll kill you!”

Dorobou Bakura lifted his head up a bit and laughed.

“Stop fucking laughing!!” I shouted, strangling him.

He lifted up his head a bit more and grinned. “You don't have the `tools' to do so, otouto!”

I hated when he was right, I had nothing to kill a vampire, even if I did I bet he'd turn it against me. I started to squeeze his neck, he ended up extending his claws and stabbed them in my stomach.

I coughed out blood, letting go of his neck and cried out in pain.

“My, you have improved a little since the last time you even had the courage to even attack me, and in front of our young Yami-ouji-sama!” he said pushing me back with his foot.

“…and you think Atemu hasn't seen any such things when he was a prince?”

“Keh, he's an old vampire. He decides to reign among the vampires, even if he started to be the king at about the same age as Yami!”

“Shut up!” I cried covering my ears.

“Oh what's this? The little prince is that much of a friend to you? Even his father's start at being the king affects you?” Dorobou Bakura said snickering.

“Tomodachi!” Malik cried.

“Malik!” a voice called, it was Marik. “What happened?”

Malik was shocked to find that Marik found his way to this place. “Marik! You shouldn't be here! Didn't Bakura tell you to stay?”

“How did you…”

“I figured that, he would say that… go!”

Dorobou Bakura's one pointed ear flicked at the last thing that Marik said and turned to find Marik.

Bakura's eyes grew wide. Marik! I told you to stay!

I ran to try and stop Dorobou Bakura, he grabbed my face and pushed onto it.

“Do you have feeling for this human as well, otouto-chan?” Dorobou Bakura questioned, his other hand reaching for the now somewhat frightened Marik.

I didn't want to answer him, I didn't want to tell him that I loved Marik. I stood there, his hand at my face, he pushed me down, my face hit the ground.

Bakura! Marik thought.

Dorobou had noticed the look on Marik's face and lifted Marik up by his hair.

“Ah! S-stop!” Marik cried.

“Oh doesn't this seem familiar?” Dorobou Bakura started, then looked at Malik. “Malik?”

“Shut up! Not even that human deserves what you did to me!”

I laid on the ground, face down, I suddenly placed on arm to my right and left and lifted myself up, spitting out a little blood. Damn you Dorobou Bakura!! I stood up, glaring at him, angry.

“DOROBOU BAKURA!!” I yelled, wings ripped through my shirt from anger. No one will hurt the guy I loved, nor a friend, no one!

“Keh… the wings, again? Seems like you inherited something from our parents that I didn't ne?”

“Now it makes me wonder if it wasn't YOU who killed them, not wanting another to bother you or maybe because you knew they were vampires also knowing you'd be one soon…” I said, though I was only thinking that, since it seemed like he would.

He laughed loudly. “Now, why would I go and do a thing like that, otouto-chan? They raised me longer than you, you came AFTER me!”

I spat out a little more blood. “Shut up, a short while after I was born OUR parents died! I was four and spend for years with people avoiding me until SOMEONE decided to search for someone to care for me… and it was you” I extended my claws. “And you fucking didn't let me do much with others! Only a year later when Malik came, you let me, telling me to come back before sunset… I didn't know why then, but a while after you woke up the vampire in me and made Malik a vampire, I knew.”

Marik placed both hands to Dorobou Bakura's wrist to try and get him to let go. “Ahh! Let me go!”

Dorobou Bakura pulled on Marik's hair, making Marik seem like he was a rag doll moving around, it enraged me even more.

I flew at him and kicked him. “STOP IT! Let him go… `Onii-san'” I said teasing in a way.

Marik gasped. H-he's your brother??

I grabbed Dorobou Bakura's hand grabbing Marik's hair.

He grinned. “you finally call me `Onii-san'? and teasing me too? How rude of you to do that.” He said kicking my stomach. I cried out in pain. “You think those wings make you any different?”

I got up weakly. “…I…I won't let you do anything to a human I care for again! I would have awakened at thirteen, even if Malik was human.”

“SO you'd rather have him die? Mortals die.”

I stared. Would I have wanted that to happen? I would have given him a choice to be a vampire, not force it.

“B-Baku…” Marik said in a fainted voice.

“Hmm this human seems to call you `Baku' I think he likes you!” Dorobou Bakura said, pulling on Marik's hair, grinning. “Beg human!”

“SHUT UP!” I screamed reaching for his wrist again and squeezed as hard as I could, blood came out as I did. “I love him, but YOU fucking will never do anything to him!” all the force made Dorobou Bakura let go of Marik's hair he dropped to the ground. I quickly picked him up and ran. “Malik! Let's go now!”

With no complaint Malik got up and ran with me. Marik was unconscious

 

I ended up taking him to, not his place, but my new little place away from where I had to be taken care of by him. I put him down.

“…Stupid, I told you not to come,”

Marik opened his eyes a little. “…Go-Gomen…Baku-kun.”

I stared and looked up at Malik.

“How come I have a feeling he might be related to you, Tomodachi, you were naturally born human.”

“How can we know for sure?”

“I don't think that much of your thing called DNA is changed, you still have something that could tell, I wonder if Yami can do anything, he seems to be one of the only vampires to even do anything like that and he's the prince.” I said stroking some of Marik's hair while he fell asleep, holding my hand. I smiled. “Let's see about doing that. For now I am glad there was none of Marik's blood spilled, as for us…me.”

Malik nodded. “I'm glad his blood wasn't spilled, but now Dorobou Bakura knows that you love him,”

“He'll have to go through me to touch Marik, I won't let him, even if it means I must make Marik into a vampire as well, it will not be like he did to you, he becomes a vampire it won't be though his disgusting fangs!”

“I agree to that, if you aren't able to, I'd do it for you, better me or you than for him to do it.”

“Agreed to that, and protect Ryou as well, Tomodachi.”

“Oh! I forgot about him! Gah!” Malik realized hitting his head, I held his wrist.

“…It's ok, just get to him, now… I'll be with Marik”

“Yes…you always forgive me, so does Marik, if he is a part of my family, he'll be the only one who noticed and didn't punish me.”

“I'll be glad that there's at least someone in your family that cares, even if that one is the one I love, Tomodachi.”

Malik smiled. “I'll go to Ryou now, I'll see you later, Tomodachi” with that Malik flew off.

I looked at the sleeping Marik, holding my hand. Even if you aren't related, it's good to have someone care. I thought giving a kiss to Marik, lifted him up and placed him in my bed. I looked to the horizon. It's going to be sunrise; I think I'll sleep this time. I walked to the side of the bed, where there was a coffin. It's funny I wanted to keep a bed to remember some of my human times in my mind, had I'd known that the vampire in me was going to be awakened early, I would have done something.
