Just a Bakura/Ryou and Marik/Malik tragic romance story. Near the end there will be lines from 3 days Grace, song I hate everything…

Only one chapter. (Oh ya and there is no duel monster whatever things or one body with 2 souls)

Ok this is where I'll start, Ryou has run away from home but where can he go with Yugi, Yami, Jou, and everyone else he knew gone?

Ryou ran as the rain began trickling then pouring down on him. He tripped and skinned his knee but he pushed the slight pain aside and kept going. The slight burning on his palms kept reminding him of why he was running.

Memory

Ryou sat in his room the thundering voices of his father and mother in the next room fighting. Suddenly he heard a loud slap probably form his mother and then a body falling to the ground. His father opened the door to Ryou's room and with a drunken voice said,

"Mommy won't be able to save you now boy"

Ryou had been lucky his father fell over drunk before he could touch him. Ryou closed his eyes and sped up not seeing the blonde boy in front of him.

"Oof!" Ryou fell onto his back the rain dove into his mouth and saw a tan hand and looked up at who it belonged to. There in front of him stood the blonde Egyptian Malik. His blonde hair was spiked around his tan face, his eyes lined with black make up. He wore a black shirt under a short purple jacket and tight white pants. Golden jewels sparkled with tiny drops of water and Malik's violet eyes look down upon Bakura's own dark brown ones. He took the hand and gave a fake smile of apology.

"Sorry"

The blonde just took his umbrella and walked on with a black haired woman who gave Ryou a sympathetic smile.

Ryou had finally stopped running and walked down the gradually less and less crowded street. He sat on a bench and rested for a few. His hair clinging to his face as the water ran down his cheeks. Suddenly the water stopped rubbing his back and a shadow covered him, Ryou looked up to see the blonde haired boy from before.

"Look I said sorry" Ryou got up and the boy just stared down at him "Stop staring down at me as if your king and I'm nothing!" Ryou hit the umbrella away and the blonde boy's expression changed to annoyed.

"Ungrateful brat…"

"I'm a brat! You're the one trying to stare me down as if I were nothing but a roach!"

"And maybe you are, living on the streets running in the rain searching for cover!"

"I don't live on the streets!"

"Then why don't you go home!" at this Ryou couldn't answer, he just nudged past the boy and walked to no destination. Ryou didn't attempt to look up or say sorry when he ran into someone else.

"Hey kid watch it!" the person yelled but Ryou just walked on, someone grabbed his shoulder and turned him around to stare into the eyes. Both were astonished by how they looked like exact twins except for a few minor details.

"Watch where you're going…" the older white haired pale skinned boy let go of Ryou and turned.

"Why don't you watch it? You could have moved you know!"

"I shouldn't have to move for you!" the look alike turned

"I shouldn't have to move for you!" Ryou retorted and both stopped then suddenly the young Ryou was pulled into a fiery kiss by the older image. Ryou pulled back and stared at him dumb stricken.

"You're right you shouldn't have to watch out for me, but you better" the older one gave a cunning smirk and walked away. (If you don't know what Bakura meant by what he said he meant that he Ryou doesn't watch out for him then he'll kiss him or maybe more and so on)

The mysterious twin like boy had disappeared after a surprising kiss on Ryou. Ryou stood the rain had slowed but still soaked him more than he had been before.

"If you stand like that any longer you'll get sick" the blonde put his umbrella over Ryou once more and this time he let it. Ryou followed the blonde to a large house and went in. The blonde threw him a towel.

"Dry off"

"Thank you" Ryou dried his hair ad followed his new friend to a dark room. The lights flicked on and Ryou took in the images on the wall. Symbols and pictures were painted over one wall, 2 other walls were painted crimson and the last wall as well as the ceiling was painted silver and gold with most of his furniture black except for a brown wooden bed post.

"What's your name?" the blonde asked Ryou as he finished looking around the room.

"Ryou…"

"Here" the blonde tossed Ryou a gray shirt and a pair of jeans.

"What's your name?" Ryou asked as he took of his sopping wet shirt and half way got off his pants but with all of the heavy wet weight he got stuck with his shirt over his head. He struggled with his then a pair of tan hands pulled the shirt off.

"Malik" he answered throwing the shirt in a pile with his own clothes. Both changed and wore white/gray shirts and jeans. (Wouldn't that be so beautiful to see them helping each other like that? .)

"Ryou, why were you running in the rain anyway?" Malik asked as they sat watching TV

"I was running away from…"

"Home?" Ryou nodded and closed his eyes

"Does your dad beat you?" Ryou looked at the ceiling and sighed

"He beat my mother since I was 4 and I think today… my mom will never smile at me again… he passed out from drinking so much before he could touch me but…"

"My dad used to hit me a lot, with him it was never a home. Since he left my mom has passed on but my sisters and my lives have been easier." The room fell silent

"Are you going to the Tatakai high school this year?" Ryou asked trying his best to lighten the mood

"Ya… since we don't have much money we can't afford to go to private schools anymore"

"That's ok! Now I can see you at school too!" Ryou smiled and Malik laughed

It had been almost 3 years since Ryou had met Malik. Malik had just turned 17 and Ryou was still 16. Ryou's mom was dead and his dad was out of the hospital after only 1 month. He was never charged for Ryou's mom's death but he was on probation for abuse. It was Malik and Ryou's last year of high school but this year was going to be a lot different form the rest.

"Ryou!" his father's voice echoed through the small house. Ryou peeked over form behind the kitchen wall.

"Ryou where's my beer?" Ryou grabbed a beer out of the fridge and threw it at his dad, his dad half caught it and half got hit by it.

"Damn it Ryou! Who do you think I am give me the opener!"

"Here's your damned opener!" Ryou chucked the small metal tool and ran out of the house slamming the door behind him.

Ryou tied back his now mid-back length white hair and walked to Malik's house a few blocks away. Ryou stopped at the gas station to get a soda when he heard an all too familiar voice.

"Yo Marik gimmie some 'a' that"

"No way moron this is mine!" Ryou looked over at the exiting guys. As he had thought there was the mysterious guy who had kissed him. Though his hair was dyed black now with intensely light almost purple streaks, he was wearing a pair of black jeans and blue open shirt. Ryou for some reason blushed mentally and looked at the guy's friend and was stunned. He looked just like Malik except… darker? He had extremely high spiked hair and dark violet eyes with the same black makeup around his face. He wore tan baggy pants and a green shirt. Ryou shrugged thinking the older version of him had to of forgotten, he walked into the convenience store and went over to the drinks.

The older looked over his shoulder at the young teen grabbing a soda and grinned.

"Yo Marik, I'll be right there"

"Ok Bakura" the once white haired now black haired look alike walked back into the store.

Ryou turned around and at first thought he was looking at his reflection, he put his hand out and touched the face to find that it was real! The person smirked and took Ryou's hand.

"I told you to watch out" his voice was like acid silk so deadly but so…

"How could I when you're hiding behind me" he slipped his hand away and walked to pay for his drink. The black haired mystery leaned against the desk and crossed his arms.

"So what's your name?"

"I really shouldn't talk to strangers" Ryou smiled and got his change back

"Cocky… I like that. Well then my name is Bakura"

"Well it was nice meeting you again Bakura. Bye" Ryou remembered the kiss all too well as if it had just happened again. But he didn't like it, he liked girl's right?

"I'm not a stranger anymore though…" he walked beside Ryou as he left the store

"I no nothing about you except your name" Ryou looked up at the older one gave his own dark smirk.

"Well then how about this, come to the movies tonight. Me and my friend will be there"

"Wouldn't that be considered a date then?" Ryou raised an eyebrow

"It is if that's what you want to call it" Bakura lowered to be at Ryou's eye level. The smell of a light but strong cologne washed through Ryou's senses and he felt his stomach jump or was it his heart?

"I'm busy tonight"

"Oh I see, alright then that's too bad you look fun" Bakura whispered the last three words and stood up straight. He smiled and waved walking to his friend's car.

Ryou turned and walked a few more streets to Malik's house. He knocked on his friend's door and waited.

"Oh hey Isis where's Malik?"

"Wow that's funny he just went to your house"

"What…"

"Ya he said he was going to go meet up with you"

"Oh damn!"

"What?"

"My dad's home" Ryou panicked

"I'll give you a ride" Isis grabbed her keys and they jumped into her small car. Just a street before Ryou's house they spotted Malik.

"Oh thank god, Malik!"

"Oh hey Ryou, I was just going to go meet you but… are you 2 having an affair?"

"What!" Ryou's voice dropped as Malik laughed

"I'm just kidding" he opened the car door and sat down. Isis drove them back to their house.

"Malik, Ryou, I need to run up to work real quick. You 2 gonna be ok?"

"Yup all we're going to do is make hot steamy passionate love" Ryou joke and wrapped his arms around Malik.

"I'd like to see that happen" Isis laughed and locked the door behind her.

"So Malik instead of doing nothing, why don't we go to the movies? There will be a lot of people form school and stuff"

"Ok, we'll have to wait for Isis though"

"What time did she say she'd be back?"

"I don't know…" Malik shrugged and walked to the kitchen to get a drink after eyeing Ryou's drink. Ryou walked over to the couch as Malik came out with his own can of soda. Malik grinned mischievously and set down his can, he got ready and…

"What tha!" Malik tackled Ryou onto the couch and got up holding his stomach from laughter. As Malik wasn't looking Ryou got a pillow and…

"Ok, ok I give" Malik put up his hands in defeat and Ryou took a triumphant sip of what remained in his bottle of coke.

"Hey look what's on TV" the 2 sat in front of the T.V. and saw a music video by Ying Yang Twins the song 'Saltshaker'. (Now doesn't this seem like more of a Yuri story instead of Yaoi…? Then again)

"Ying Yang Twins?" Ryou looked at Malik a bit curious and confused

"No at what's up next The Used" (Hi Arisu I forgot what your favorite song was but here's one of the songs they sing! Don't worry I haven't forgotten my loveable Keitorin. Actually I'm not putting the words down it'll take up too much sorry but I still love you both:)

"What song?"

"Just 'All that I've got' but hey it's the Used"

"Cool, turn it up" the 2 slouched on the couch listening/watching to music videos.

Finally Isis pulled up and the 2 grabbed some money and met her outside.

"Can you drive us to the movie's we're bored as bloody hell" Malik said already sitting in the front seat

"Sure, what movie you seeing?"

"We don't know" Ryou shrugged closing the backseat door. Isis dropped them off and told them she'd drive around in 4 hours. (I would put six b/c hey it's my favorite number but… that's a bit long for them to be there I guess). They agreed and walked around for a bit since no good movies started for another hour.

"Ryou I thought you hated coming to the movies because of all of the people" Malik emphasized on 'people'.

"Ya…"

"Someone special?" though Malik didn't show it as he said those words he hurt himself

"No" Malik was relieved on the inside

"Oh, then is it because you just wanted to be alone with me in the dark…?" Malik laughed putting a hand seductively (but playfully) on Ryou's shoulder (not playful like lovers but like jokingly).

"I could be alone with you in the dark at your house all night long, why here" Ryou laughed not knowing that Malik's heart just skipped a beat in happiness and then embarrassment. The 2 laughed and walked to a small ice cream place.

"Oh damn!" Ryou held out his shirt on which he had just dropped ice cream on.

"I'll wait for you outside" Malik walked out as Ryou went into the bathroom. Malik leaned against the wall already done with his ice cream.

"Wow you really went at that ice cream didn't ya heh" a calm soothed voice said at Malik's side, he turned and was almost but not horrified by the way the older guy beside him looked like him! The only difference was the wide high spread spiked hair and darker tan, his face also showed not only maturity but some sort of shadow…?

"Y… ya I guess" Malik shrugged as the guy stepped closer. He may have looked a lot like Malik but he was no friend. Malik started walking away hoping to get rid of the guy but was stopped. He turned shock written all over his face as he looked at the man now holding his wrist softly. Malik tried to pull away but the man quickly cornered him against the wall. He put his hands above Malik's head and moved a bit closer.

Ryou came out and looked for Malik, then saw him with the guy he had seen with Bakura at the gas station but now Malik was defenseless and cornered by the older alike!

"You asshole get away form him!" Ryou ran head first throwing the unsuspecting guy back.

"Whoa kid!"

"I'm not a kid!" Ryou stood over the older one flames burning larger than his eyes.

"You wanna start with…"

"Jeez Marik you can't even handle this kid?" the voice that Ryou had for some reason come to hear spoke behind him. Ryou turned his anger still very noticeable but a bit softer as he looked at Bakura.

"Ooh, well I'm surprised you came. I was waiting" he gave Ryou a side smile and glanced over at Malik.

"Thought you had plans?"

"I did… this is my friend Malik" Malik had gained color back in his face and just looked at the taller more mature and almost satanic version of Ryou.

"Your boyfriend?" Bakura smiled slyly at Ryou and then Malik while pulling his friend Marik up.

"I said friend didn't I? I'm straight you do know?" Ryou said it but didn't even believe it himself, neither did Bakura. Bakura smiled and held Ryou up to him.

"Well let's go see the movie shall we heh" Marik looked at Malik maniacally and walked beside Bakura who held Ryou at his other side.

"Malik come on I guess…" Malik walked with Ryou

"You know them?"

"Not really just bumped into him a few"

"What movie are they taking us in?"

"I don't think we're going to get to see the movie" the 2 looked to find themselves heading behind the theater.

"Bakura…?" Ryou pushed away from him

"What's wrong, you don't seriously wanna go watch a lame ass movie do you?"

"No but…"

"Let's go to a party then. Don't worry it's only a street down. I wanna show a few people my new friend" Bakura chuckled "Oh but wait, you still think that I am a stranger don't you?" Bakura jokingly put his hand on his chin

"Well you did say you were straight so…"

"What would that have to do with you being a stranger?" Ryou put his hands on his hips

"I don't know, this maybe…" Bakura took the teen a forced a kiss that soon became a bit more…

"Ryou…?" Malik looked shocked on the outside but on the inside (well you should know by now!)

"So Malik you straight too…" Marik stood next to him with his arms crossed

"Look weirdo I…" Malik had no time to fight as Marik pulled him into a strong but gentle kiss. Malik tried to keep only Ryou in his mind but it slowly slipped away and all he could think of was Marik's soft lips and…

Both teens had been drowned with passion and hadn't noticed that they were both nearing Bakura and Marik's car. Bakura leaned against the door and Ryou broke the captivating kiss and gave him an uneasy look but Bakura replied with a reassuring expression.

Bakura turned on the radio with Marik, Malik, Ryou, and him now in the car. The song Feel Good Inc- by Gorillaz played…

City's breaking down on a camel's back.
They just have to go 'cos they don't hold back
So all you fill the streets it's appealing to see
You wont get out the county, 'cos you're bad and free
You've got a new horizon It's ephermal style.
A melancholy town where we never smile.
And all I wanna hear is the message beep.
My dreams, they've got to kiss, because I don't get sleep, no..

Windmill, Windmill for the land.
Learn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is sticking, falling down
Love forever love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?

Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats,
Lining them up-a like ass cracks,
Ladies, homies, at the track
its my chocolate attack.
Shit, I'm stepping in the heart of this here
Care bear bumping in the heart of this here
watch me as I gravitate
hahahahahahaa.
Yo, we gonna go ghost town,
this motown,
with yo sound
you're in the place
you gonna bite the dust
Cant fight with us
With yo sound
you kill the INC.
so don't stop, get it, get it
until you're cheddar header.
Yo, watch the way I navigate
music
Windmill, Windmill for the land.
Learn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is sticking, falling down
Love forever love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?

Don't stop, get it, get it
we are your captains in it
steady,
watch me navigate,
ahahahahahhaa.
Don't stop, get it, get it
we are your captains in it
steady, watch me navigate

They parked in front of a clearly empty house and another song started. Marik laid Malik down in the backseat but he got back up.

"I don't…"

"Aw come on kid" Marik kissed Malik's neck and before he said anything more covered his mouth with a kiss. Bakura pulled Ryou over and onto his lap he tilted the seat back and brought Ryou to his lips but Ryou pulled away.

"We shouldn't have left the movies"

"Why not, I can't still possibly be a stranger to you now can I? by the way you still haven't told me your name"

"You heard Malik say it"

"But I want to hear you say it, then after that I want to hear you say no scream my name" Bakura gave a wicked smile kissing Ryou's hand

"My name is Ryou and no…"

"No?"

"Ya Ryou's right, I'm 17 but I don't want to do this, not this way" Malik shoved Marik off.

"Come on kid" Marik sneered and grabbed Marik's wrist

"My name is Malik." Malik opened the door and got out. Marik laid on his stomach and put his hands under his chin looking up at Malik with his dark violet eyes.

"Ok you're right, I'm sorry…" Marik got out

"I seriously don't know you, get off."

"That's cold babe, real cold" still in the car Bakura licked Ryou's fingers.

"Look Bakura I'm not like that" Ryou moved to the other seat about to open the door as well

"Like what?" Bakura laughed coldly as he got closer to Ryou

"No. So 3 years ago you kissed me and then I bumped into you at a gas station. Suddenly you're trying to get into my pants!"

"What you're like 17 16 right? What's the harm in having fun I'm only 19" Bakura shrugged

"Or is this just your first time with a man?"

"Yes! Now bye" Ryou opened the door and walked over to Malik who had left Marik (that gets seriously confusing typing Marik then Malik).

"Look you little prick! We came here for some action and I'm not letting you leave until we get what we want!" Bakura stomped out of the car.

A month passed since Ryou and Malik were in forceful relationships with Bakura and Marik. At first it was a few times a day then 3 times a week finally Bakura and Marik let down to once a week and 2 nights during the weekends. Ryou was failing almost all of his classes except gym and science (where he got to dissect poor innocent animals )

Malik was only failing the classes you had to think in or move in which was all of them.

The 2 were miserable they wanted to get out of their relationships Ryou because he couldn't take anymore of Bakura's wants and Malik because he liked Ryou and not the abusive Marik but Malik's like had been turning to love when he kept seeing his poor friend so strong willed even after a beating.

"Ryou…?" Malik sat by his friend in the back of the car

"What?" his friends voice was rough but attempting to be as kind as he could he smiled

"Never mind…" the car parked in front of Marik's house and all 4 got out.

"Come on Malik you're so slow!" Marik jerked Malik by his wrist and there was a slight crack. Bakura grabbed Marik by the neck.

"Stop." His voice was almost a growl, Marik's face turned red from the loss of oxygen and Bakura let him go.

"Come on Ryou" Bakura's attitude suddenly turned back to a few days ago and he gave Ryou a desiring look as they all entered the dark house.

Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take

Bakura rolled over panting, Ryou lay under the covers a disgusted and empty look on his face
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet
Every roommate kept awake
By every sigh and scream we make

Finally Marik got up leaving the innocent Malik unconscious
All the feelings that I get

Ryou got up and woke Malik up. They both got dressed and while the 2 older like's were in other rooms they snuck out of the house.
But I still don't miss you yet
Only when I stop to think about it

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

Ryou only looked back once and closed his eyes seeing the image of Bakura and him when they had first met 3 years ago
Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet

Malik looked at Ryou's unsure and depressed face and nudged his shoulder

"Don't go back…"
Only when I stop to think about it

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

Only when I stop to think
About you, I know
Only when you stop to think
About me, do you know


Bakura stood at the window already aware of Ryou and Malik's departure, he looked out and saw Ryou the look on his face tore Bakura apart.
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
You hate everything about me
Why do you love me

Bakura thought he didn't love what he called his tenshi 'toy' but even not knowing him after their first kiss… he had wanted Ryou all to himself forever. He knew he had ruined that now
I hate
You hate
I hate
You love me

Marik's curse was heard probably far as to the next mile or so. Malik flinched as him and Ryou ran down the filthy street.
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

Ryou ran as the rain began trickling then pouring down on him. He tripped and skinned his knee but he pushed the slight pain aside and kept going. The slight burning on his palms kept reminding him of why he was running. Malik now held Ryou's hand and knew he was safe.

Forward flash memory

Ryou and Malik moved in together after graduation. Malik opened his eyes and squeezed the warm blankets, he turned and looked at Ryou. He kissed Ryou's nose with an innocent childlike face and hid under the blanket as Ryou woke up. Ryou gave a quick smile and relieved sigh as he hugged Malik through the blankets on their bed.

I did want to base it more around Malik but when I had put Ryou running in the beginning I just put him more you know whatever. Please review tell me if you think I should do like a sequel. I was thinking that if I got enough good reviews and if ppl thought I should I'd make the sequel with Bakura and Ryou meeting and a bunch of other stuff. So please REVIEW  ,
