Ryou sat cuddled up in Bakura's arms as his older brother slept. It wasn't strange that they slept together they always had, they had no one else to hold on to anyway. Ryou however couldn't seem to find sleep he tried to close his eyes but the only thing that he saw was complete darkness. So he kept them open to intently watch his brother. Ryou was slightly worried that Yami would be angry with him, he just wanted to be with his brother tonight, and there was nothing more to it than that really. They only loved each other, as brothers they had no other family or distant relations so wouldn't it be natural for them to be so close? Ryou sighed deeply and closed his eyes but still he did not sleep.

Yami lay in his bed awake; he didn't sleep much anyway so it wasn't a huge problem for him. He was slightly irritated with Ryou but more so with his older brother Bakura. He let them stay together tonight it was only natural that they had many things to catch up on. He wanted Ryou to be happy but Yami wasn't sure if he could get along with a thief or even tolerate him…he was worried that one day he would have to force Ryou to choose between him and his brother, which was needless to say unfair to Ryou. He couldn't help but think about him, he was so beautiful and his brother and him did have a striking resemblance although Bakura seemed much more harsh and less innocent…a life of thievery did that to people Yami guessed. Yami was slightly curious on why Ryou never picked up the habit, with his looks and innocent nature he could probably sweet talk his way to get anything, but he never showed an interest in doing anything of that sort. Yami had asked Ryou before if he ever stole anything, but Ryou had said no and that Bakura took care of things like that…that Bakura took care of him. Yami wanted to take care of Ryou, he wanted to love Ryou till death did them part but he didn't know if Bakura would allow him to do so…he would have to speak to Bakura in the morning.

When morning finally came, sleep finally met Ryou and he was slumbering peacefully. Bakura didn't bother to wake him as he slipped out of bed and took the liberty of changing into some cleaner clothes. He walked through the hallway slowly and ran into a young boy with blonde hair knocking him over. He glared at the boy for a moment but noticed his bruised face and knelt down to help him up.

"Don't touch me!" He barked as Bakura and used the wall for support as he helped himself back to his feet.

"You seem to be in a rather foul mood, what the hell is wrong with you?" Bakura asked tilting his head at the young boy who seemed a little shocked

"R-Ryou?" He asked unsurely

"I'm Bakura his older brother." Bakura said looking at him "What happened to your face?" Bakura asked

"I was obviously hit." The young boy spat obviously irritated

"You sure have some fire to your spirit." Bakura mused slightly

The boy looked at him curiously for a moment "I've never known anyone who really appreciated it before." The young boy smiled slightly "My name is Malik." He said

"Now you seem more open to conversation at least…who are you running from?" Bakura asked

"Just following orders." Malik said hanging his head "Do you now belong to the Pharaoh?" Malik asked

Bakura snorted "Not likely…although that seems to be the situation with my brother…" Bakura trailed off

"Good luck getting him out of it…I've never seen the Pharaoh so attached to a slave before especially one who doesn't know a thing about living a life of service." Malik said

"It doesn't matter, as long as Ryou is happy I'm happy for him." Bakura said

"I thought that too, but then I realized that unless I was the one making him happy it only hurts worse." Malik said before running off.

Bakura reflected on what he had said a moment before he made his way to the Pharaohs chamber, which guards were standing in front of the entrance. He would probably be given the shove away at the door and decided to take the back way they used last night. He was surprised to find the Pharaoh awake.

"What the hell are you doing!?" He asked angrily

"Its not my fault you door has guards in front of it." Bakura said

"They are for my protection you know." Yami said, "Was there something you needed?" He asked Bakura simply

"Just to speak with you." Bakura said

"About Ryou I presume?" He asked

"Whom else in this place would I care about?" Bakura said sarcastically

"I don't know why everyone looks at me like a tyrant, I haven't hurt your brother in any way nor do I plan to. Do I care about him? Yes and I do not plan to harm him." Yami said

"What kind of slave is he?" Bakura asked not looking at Yami "Do you still give him the title of slave?" Bakura asked

"Yes, its safer for him this way…he understands." Yami said

"What kind of slave is he?" Bakura asked again

"How would I know? Ryou doesn't know anything about slavery he has no specialty…but besides that I don't treat him like a slave more like a companion." Yami stated

"In bed?" Bakura asked

Yami rolled his eyes "Is that what your worried about?" Yami asked

"Just answer the question!" Bakura yelled

"Bakura!" Ryou whined wanting him to stop yelling, "You haven't been here but a few hours and already your angry…you need to control your temper." Ryou said tilting his head slightly toward Yami "Good morning Yami." Ryou said brightly

Yami smiled picking him up and kissing him gently on the forehead "Good morning." He said softly before going to his desk taking out a few scrolls

Bakura glared at the Pharaoh but softened when Ryou hugged him around the waist "Why didn't you wake me up Niisan?" Ryou asked

"You seemed a little restless last night so I let you sleep in, how about you show me around the palace Ototo?" Bakura said smiling

Ryou brightened and was about to leave but Yami caught his attention

"Stay with me tonight Ryou?" Yami asked

Ryou smiled and nodded his head yes, as he led his brother out by the hand while Bakura shot Yami death glares.
