Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Zanshi ❯ Zanshi-Chapter 7 ( Chapter 7 )

Nothing much just hope you like chapter 7! ENJOY!!!

Ryou awoke without Yami beside him, but Ryou thought nothing of it as he got out of bed and dressed himself. He wandered into the kitchen looking for Bakura and Marik but they had apparently left. Ryou frowned as he continued his search for his other members of Zanshi as he wandered deeper into the basement of Zanshi finding Seto typing away at his various computers all networked together.

"Seto?" Ryou asked softly

"What are you doing here?" Seto asked a little irritated he liked his privacy and was not one for company in all reality.

"Where is everyone?" Ryou asked

"We got some information that Keith is forming a new gang, they went to investigate it while I'm trying to hack into the system I think they are using…but I'm having trouble cracking the code…whoever made this had some skill's I'll admit." Seto said.

"Why was I not informed?" Ryou asked

Seto smiled slightly "Yami doesn't want you to get hurt…" Seto said trailing off.

Ryou grew cross "Damn him! I am not a child I'm supposed to be a productive member of Zanshi! Just as much as everyone else." Ryou ranted.

"Well since you have such a good relationship with the leader of our group, of course he's going to be more protective of you." Seto sighed. "You act like this is anything different he has always been more protective of you."

"I'm not particularly fond of Yami, Seto, you know that too…I try my hardest to make him hate me but it doesn't do any good he only seems to want me more." Ryou said.

Seto stopped what eh was doing "Everyone will want what they cannot have Ryou it's a fact of life to want forbidden fruits." Seto said

"But I don't think if I pretended to like him he would end up not wanting me anymore." Ryou said.

"Yami? Oh hell no, he'd want you all the more, he's been obsessed with you before you joined Zanshi…but if it helps any he does genuinely care about you, it's not just lust he wants you because he is truly in love with you." Seto paused for a moment. "Go bother Honda I'm trying to concentrate if you don't mind." Seto said as Ryou rolled his eyes and left.

Ryou pondered the fact that Yami actually might love him…would it be so bad truthfully to give in to Yami? Maybe it was time he moved on in life, Yami has never really hurt him besides the Malik situation he has been a good person. Ryou was supposed to give Yami a chance anyway…if he continued to resist it wouldn't be fair to Yami. Ryou sighed sitting down on Yami's bed, their bed for now at least. 'I'll give him a fair chance, besides Malik is dead and there is nothing I can do about it now or ever…I need to move on in my life.' Ryou took a deep sigh.

"Goodbye Malik." Ryou said softly making peace with his lost love and deciding to move on finally.

Malik learned more about Keith's gang by the minute as he helped them with small missions and such. He found them to be not that much unlike Zanshi the only difference was everyone but Keith was younger. Raion was the name they gave themselves which meant lion, why they called themselves that Malik was unsure all he cared about was getting Ryou out of Zanshi and then running away together.

"I will never forget you Ryou…I hope you haven't forgotten me." Malik said softly.

Ryou, although going to give Yami a chance, was still angry with him for leaving him behind as he glared at him angrily.

"Don't be this way Ryou, I refuse to spend the next week with you angry with me." Yami huffed.

"Why did you leave me behind? That was plain unfair I don't want special treatment from you!" Ryou yelled "And another thing, I can act any way I damn well please while I'm with you, you never said I had to be happy about this arrangement." Ryou said.

Yami rolled his eyes "You don't have to be so unhappy though, I'm sorry I left you behind but in all truth there was really nothing for you to do." Yami sighed "We use you when we interrogate others we were only watching." Yami said

"I have two very capable eyes Yami, I'm a wonderful observer if you haven't noticed. If you see one of them I could probably tell you what they were thinking of feeling that would be helpful." Ryou protested.

"We already bugged the apartment Ryou, we'll go get the bugs at the end of this week, were fine." Yami said, "If we go again I promise not to leave you the next time." Yami stood up "If you feel so strongly about participation you just need to say so." Yami said hugging the little one.

He was slightly surprised when Ryou hugged him back without resistance…he didn't even stiffen at his contact just accepted the hug and returned it. He smiled to himself kissing Ryou on the top of his head.

"We have a meeting in an about two hours…" Yami said trailing off. "Is there anything you would like to do before then?" Yami asked softly

"Not really…I think I've finally made peace with the fact Malik isn't coming back to me though…" Ryou said softly nodding his head as he did so.

"Really?" Yami said a bit shocked "I'm happy for you, it's better this way you know, you can finally move on with your life." Yami said smiling at him.

Ryou scoffed "Some life…I murder, torture, cause riots, and other horrible thing's to this world. I was happy when I knew someone loved me…Malik loved me and so did my father but now they are both gone." Ryou turned away from Yami "I have accepted that finally but I still feel like some sort of plague." Ryou said unhappily.

Yami embraced the boy from behind "I love you, even if you don't believe me I do Ryou." Yami paused "And you are not a plague Ryou, you forget we usually only murder those who deserve it…occasionally there is the innocent bystander but that usually happens when they see something they shouldn't have or were sticking their nose in something that they shouldn't have so they had it coming in the first place." Yami said.

"That doesn't make it right…" Ryou said trailing off

"Well then…I am no better, I'm probably worse…all the others are the same we are all equals you are no different from anyone else in Zanshi." Yami said

Ryou couldn't help but smile slightly at this; it had actually made him feel better about himself. He felt Yami's lips on his neck as he closed his eyes softly actually liking the feeling of Yami pulling him close against his body. He felt Yami's lips touch his as he tensed slightly but he decided earlier that he would give Yami a chance and he had made him feel better as he kissed him back actually enjoying the feeling of their mouths locked to one another in a passionate kiss.

Malik felt his heart being ripped apart from the inside as he looked at Ryou kissing the man who nearly killed him…not only kissing him! Ryou was enjoying it! He was kissing him back! He couldn't take the sight longer as he left the building top and went as fast as he could to Keith. 'I guess he really didn't love me! It was a lie! I bet he was with Yami the night I was dying! That ungrateful little slut, after everything I went through for him! Everything I did!' Malik tripped on the way to Keith's as felt two wet droplets fall upon his hand's…he was crying…he curled up in a little ball and began to sob uncontrollably. He had never been so hurt in all his life as he sobbed harder. He loved Ryou with his whole heart and soul and it feels like they had both been ripped to shreds…he wouldn't let Ryou get away with this. He was going to make Ryou pay for ever hurting him so terribly. Malik finally got his crying under control as he arrived at Keith who was happy to hear Malik's information of Yami's feeling's for Ryou being confirmed. Malik decided to kidnap Ryou by tomorrow night and he would come hell or high water make him pay for what he had done.

Malik is mad isn't he? Well I hope you liked it chap 8 will probably have some major Ryou angst so be for-warned and if not chap 8 then defiantly chap 9!
