Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Pharaohs Gift ❯ The Pharaohs gift-Chapter 14 ( Chapter 14 )

Well this is chapter 14 and the last chapter of The Pharaohs Gift saga, but don't worry I've started a sequel to this story already. Please Review!

Bakura continued to run down the hall, wanting half-heartily to still beat the living hell out of Malik…but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He had caused enough pain, as it was there was no point really, he had already learned a lesson. He slowed down noticing Ryou lying down on the ground; his heart skipped a beat as if his body noticed something that he didn't. He knelt next to Ryou and placed a hand on his shoulder,

"Ryou?" He asked softly

He placed his hand on the stone floor…something wet…red. No, he thought, it's a hallucination he shook Ryou a little harder but he wouldn't respond.

"Ryou, please wake up." Bakura asked

So much blood all over Ryou and Bakura's hands. He noticed the dagger…his dagger…still clutched in Ryou's hand, and the note. He picked Ryou up and ran to Joeys chamber as fast as his legs could carry him bursting inside,

"Heal him now!" Bakura said

Joey went over to Ryou immediately and proceeded to heal his wounds but even after Joey was finished, he didn't wake up.

"What's wrong!" Bakura yelled

"I don't know…he's lost a lot of blood, I may be too late." Joey said looking at Ryou taking the dagger from his hand. "Isn't this yours?" Joey asked.

"Yes, he took it from me, probably when I went to talk with Malik." Bakura said feeling stupid for not realizing it was gone before it was to late.

"This belongs to you to." Joey said handing him the note.

"Is he going to die?" Bakura asked taking the note.

"That's up to him…I cant do anything else for him, he has to decide whether or not he wants to live." Joey said

"I'll stay here with him" Bakura said taking a seat next to the bed.

"I'll leave you alone then." Joey said leaving them

Bakura swallowed uneasily as he opened the note,

Sorry, I know I shouldn't have done this but I couldn't stand it any longer, it all hurt too much. I hoped that the Pharaoh would kill me but I knew that if he did you would try and kill him…I didn't want either of you to die, don't get me wrong I want Yami to pay, but death is something one should decide for himself, that's why I did this if I was going to die I wanted to die either by the person I love or by my own hand…don't draw any significance to it being your dagger that was coincidence and I'm sorry if that hurts you, I didn't want to hurt anybody least of all you and I still love you…

Bakura crumpled and threw the note to the other side of the room. Not wanting to see anymore. He looked back at Ryou and took his hand.

"Ryou, please wake up, you don't have a choice here…I need you to come back to me. I told you I could live without your love…well I lied, I cant, please Ryou don't make me make the same mistake you did." Bakura kissed his forehead slightly.

Tears welled up in his eyes, he didn't wan to cry but he had never felt such misery before it like his heart was being crushed slowly inside. He laid his head down on Ryou's stomach so if he stopped breathing he would know.

Malik walked down the hallway slowly, he didn't see the point in going to Joey, what happened was well deserved in the first place anyway. He shook his head at himself, why did he even bother with love, this was not the first time he had been rejected either and it always hurt. He sighed and continued to walk. Seto and him crossed paths and Seto grabbed him by the arm.

"What happened to you?" He asked noticing how his lip was bleeding.

"Fight" Malik simply said

"I can see that, I don't think you would go and beat yourself up, with who?" Seto asked

"With Bakura and it's a long story so don't ask." Malik said pulling his arm from Seto.

"You don't seem very angry about it." He said leaning against the wall

"It was deserved, why complain?" Malik said

"True, but you should at least go to Joey." Seto said

"It doesn't hurt, I'll be fine." Malik said

Malik was about to walk away when Seto took him by the arm and kissed his lower lip suddenly and Malik froze at the contact.

"Hope that helps." Seto said with a smile

"Sure." Malik swallowed

That was a bit odd, Malik said to himself as Seto walked away. He touched his lower lip and shook his head. Whoever said love was easy needs to be dragged into the street and stabbed.

Ryou's eyes opened slowly, if he had the strength to scream he would have. Why am I still alive, cant they just let me die in peace? He stopped seeing Bakura although he couldn't see his tears he knew he was crying. He tried lifting his hand but pain shot through his arm causing him to wince and cry out softly. Bakura's head shot up like someone had just stabbed him.

"Ryou!" He said embracing him "I though you…" He stopped burying his face in Ryou's chest.

"Please Bakura," Ryou managed despite how weak he was.

"Don't speak you need to reserve your strength." Bakura said

"I don't want to reserve it, I want to stop all this. Why did you stop me from dying…its what I wanted." Ryou said shaking.

"Because I love you. I couldn't let you kill yourself Ryou." Bakura said amazed that he still wanted death after a taste of it.

"You don't understand Bakura…if I stay here I will die and not by my own hand or Yami's my body cannot live here it's to painful mentally and physically." Ryou stopped taking a breath. "I didn't want to commit suicide, I didn't come to that conclusion lightly either, but I knew you would never kill me." Ryou stopped breathing heavily.

"Your right I couldn't kill you because I care about you to much but I can release you." Bakura said.

"Release me? Take me away from here?" Ryou asked

"Yes, if you are willing to come with me." Bakura said kissing Ryou gently.

"He wont stop looking for me no matter where we run to." Ryou said kissing him back.

"Then we will run forever, I am willing to run to the ends of the earth Ryou…as long as I'm with you." He pulled Ryou into a passionate kiss.

Ryou didn't resist. "When do we leave?"

Finished, sorry to all who wanted this story to continue, but don't worry I've already started the sequel so you wont have to wait to long, but it takes place in the future, gives me so much more to work with. And I'll let you decide how and if anything happens between Malik and Seto. Please Review!

Thanks to everyone who made this fan fiction possible!

"This is a strange love…but I wouldn't have you any other way."
