Chapter 38

The heavy exhausted feeling for the need to sleep was slowly lifting as the shadows of the room fell away bathing the room in more natural shadows. Bakura suddenly stretched his body, muscles and joints popping back into place and he relaxed again looking about his room as his mind brought forth the events from a week ago. That's right. Bakura glanced over and pulled the covers back a little to find a mass of white hair and pale skin. He had taken Ryou as his Mate and couldn't have been happier to find it all hadn't been some dream conjured from his wants of the Human.

Had it been a week already and their Mating Season was finally over.

Bakura smirked at his own thoughts as he ran a hand down Ryou's shoulder blade down his back to the swell of his backside and back up again. Ryou moved and rolled onto his side and slowly opened his eyes to find Bakura watching him and gave him a soft smile and a blush as Bakura caressed his cheek and lent in to kiss him on the lips. "I'm starving." Bakura purred as he pulled back.

"Me too." Ryou agreed and suddenly he didn't feel as tired or worn out as he had in the last few days. "I think I'll… damn!" Ryou groaned.

"What?" Bakura asked a little worried.

"My clothes, you basically shredded them and I have nothing to wear." He glanced at the pale Demon beside him, he had borrowed Bakura's shirt and pants to go to the kitchen and get food and something to drink before returning back to the room or before Bakura had gone in search for him.

"That's fine with me I don't mind keeping you locked up in here naked and always ready for me." Bakura lent over to take a small nibble on his Human's ear; Ryou pulled his head away and gave him a playful scolding look. "I'm sure I can find something for you to wear." Bakura's smirk widened a little more and asked. "Will you move in with me?"

"Yes." He said as he kissed Bakura, then sat up and glanced about the room and growled in more annoyance then anything and Bakura sat up side him, the blanket pooled about their waists as both were still in the state of undress. "I do want too get my…" Ryou trailed off for a moment until Bakura gave him a look that told him to continue with what he was saying. "I wanted to get my things from my old apartment and I left my bag there."

Bakura had forgotten why Ryou had been there at that apartment and at the mercy of his father… "Bakura, would you come with me to get a few of my things?" Ryou asked, he didn't want to always be wearing someone else's clothing or having to buy new ones and there were personal things that he wanted to retrieve as well.

"No." Bakura said in an angry tone that made Ryou frown at him and about to retort back on being told what he could and couldn't do. "I'll go with Marik, I don't want you near that place again, not after what almost happened." Bakura glanced at him. "If I forget anything, then we'll all go over. But first, we need food." Bakura slid out from the bed and got to his feet. "I'll raid Malik's room for something." Bakura knew anything of his or even Marik's would hang off Ryou; the Human bowed his head and bit his lip. "What's wrong?" Bakura asked a little confused as to the change in Ryou's mood.

"When will Malik be coming back?" Ryou glanced at him in hopes that Malik wouldn't be gone forever as Ishizu had said, surely it wouldn't be forever and he would came back to visit at some point.

"I'm sure you'll see Malik before you know it." Bakura grinned knowing the half Demon never even left the house. "Go shower." Ryou nodded his head and got up heading for the bathroom.

Soon Ryou was freshly showered walked out into the bedroom and still found no clothes for him but for Bakura's black robe. He walked over and pulled it on, wrapping it about his body and noticed the bed had been changed of its sheets and the room was tidy once again with the window open letting the suns rays into the room for the first time in a week.

Ryou headed downstairs and mused to himself that Bakura had returned to his normal self, his eyes were a dark brown almost black, no fangs could be seen when he talked and his wings were gone until needed again and whatever had driven Bakura into a sexual frenzy had passed and it was good to be out of that room as he had a few things to do outside of the bedroom.

Bakura had been in Recovery for the last few days and the Demon slept most of the time, but would talk to Ryou when he was awake. Ryou was a little grateful for this time as his body by the fifth day was aching and he was tired from being woken up to at odd hours to indulge Bakura's need, both Demon and Human exhausted themselves to the point of almost passing out.

The Mating wasn't all one sided either of Bakura just taking him, Ryou blushed and hesitated when it came to him taking Bakura that had proved that Ryou had what it took to satisfied his own Demon Mate, Ryou had never seen anything so hot as having something as powerful as a Demon moaning and practically begging for more because of what he had been doing to Bakura… and Bakura had been quite pleased.

Ryou entered the kitchen and had expected Bakura to be in the room and found it empty, so he made drinks for himself and Bakura. Ryou's thoughts then turned to Marik and wondered what Marik had been up to over the week and felt a wave of guilt that he and Bakura had forgotten him. "I was told that you were in need of clothing, but for the life of me I can't fathom why you would need them." Malik said from the doorway dressed in grey khaki pants and a hooded red sleeveless top, a bundle of clothing under his arm.

"Malik?" Ryou left what he was doing and rushed around the counter to hug him. "I thought you were gone." Ryou pulled back happy to see him here.

"Me leave you!" Malik snorted. "Ishizu's plans of taking me with her were shot through by Marik to who I am very grateful to and ended up having a very pleasurable week with him." Malik winked and smirked when Ryou blushed at him knowing what he had meant.

"I'm glad you are staying, Malik." Ryou lent up and kissed him on the lips and pulled back enough to say. "I would have missed you too much."

"I would have missed you too." Malik glanced him over for a second. "You should go and get dressed and while I go and see if Marik is out of bed." Malik sighed. "He always thinks he needs an extra day of sleep, Marik can be so lazy at times."

Ryou smirked as he took the clothing from Malik, who turned around and headed up stairs much to Ryou's disappointment who had missed out in Malik's normally wandering hands at groping his body… Maybe he was still a little tired from what they all had been through.

Ryou thought that breakfast could wait and headed upstairs himself, passing Marik's bedroom door and found it open and no one inside, Ryou moved on to Bakura's room, he glanced up and gasped out of shock as he almost ran into Marik. "Here you are." The tanned Demon purred as he walked forward.

"Marik." Ryou practically leapt away from him and backed up unknowingly into Marik's bedroom. He had been thinking on what to say to Marik when they came face to face after what had happened, he still felt guilty even though Bakura had forgiven him. "I'm so sorry that I hurt you." Ryou always found it best to apologize when in doubt.

"Really now?" Marik's hair was still dripping wet and droplets of water ran down his body, Ryou fought to keep his eyes locked with Marik's, as the towel wrapped about Marik's hips absorbed droplets.

Not knowing what possessed him to place his hand lightly against Marik's wet chest and held it there over where an ugly wound should have been, even though Ryou didn't really know how it all happened or where they had ended up, he knew that he had tried to kill Bakura and Marik for some reason.

"I am so sorry Marik, if there is anything I can do to make it up to you just name it." Ryou wanted to slap himself, was it okay to say such things to Marik? Bakura had explained that they were together, but how far did that together go? What if he upset them?

"I want to claim a kiss." Marik purred as he grabbed Ryou about the waist and pulled him closer and lips met his in a kiss as Marik pressed himself against the Human, Ryou's knees went weak as lips parted and tongues met in a slow breathless kiss, Marik pulled back long enough to kiss down his neck as he opened the black robe and pulled it down off the Human's shoulders a little.

He slowly backed Ryou up to the bed, locked in another heated kiss, the Human pulled his lips away to gasp in air only to have Marik grab at his rear end and lifted Ryou up completely off his feet and against him and placed his arm against Ryou's back to keep them both balanced, Ryou had no choice but to wrap his legs about Marik's waist in fear of being dropped. The tanned Demon smirk when Ryou squeaked and was carried the rest of the way to the bed; Marik turned and sat down not having to move Ryou at all in his lap. "Marik, I don't think that this is a good idea." Ryou was slightly panting, what was with Demons and their sex-drive. "What about Bakura?"

"He can join us if he wishes." Marik growled pulling Ryou into another kiss as he moved more onto the bed taking Ryou with him and had slipped the towel off at some point and discarded it.

"Do you know how long we have waited for you?" Malik said as he crawled on his hands and knees onto the bed. "How much we have missed you?"

"No." Ryou shook his head as he glanced between Malik and Marik; his heart had never beaten so hard or fast before. Ryou would be lying if he said that he didn't find the two appealing and very attractive.

"A very, very long time." Marik said pulling at the black robe a little, it fell down Ryou's arms pooled at his elbows and his waist.

"Malik?" Ryou moaned and a shiver ran down his spine as Malik had moved in behind him and ran his hands down the Human's sides and belly under the tie about Ryou's waist, Marik growled as not only Malik's hand groped at Ryou, but rubbed against him as well. Ryou gasped and blushed as Marik bucked his hips up a little.

"Will you let us have you?" Marik asked as he gripped onto Ryou's hips, who gave him an unsure look as kissing had been as far as he had gotten with the two.

Malik turned Ryou's chin and kissed him over his right shoulder as Marik raked his hands down Ryou's chest and grinded himself against the Human with a soft growl. "Let us show you how much we love you." Marik purred his hardness pressed against Ryou and the tanned Demon shook with anticipation of taking his new lover.

Ryou bit his lip and groaned as his mind was trying to understand what Marik was asking, as Malik hadn't stopped what he was doing between his thighs and Marik pressed against him. Malik removed his hand as Marik sat up; Ryou had started to shake and looked as though he wanted to run from them. "What is it Ryou?"

Ryou was scared of being hurt even though he had been with Bakura many times over the week, but doing it with Marik and Malik was another thing and it was new to him, he had felt first hand at Marik's powerful arms and the strength of his hands, when the Demon had hugged him and partly ravaged him in the kitchen, he was far more stronger then Bakura and what would his Mate say if he was found in bed with them and said the first thing that came to his mind. "I should leave."

"What?!" Marik and Malik said in surprise they were both sure they hadn't done anything wrong but try to seduce the Human. "If you're only scared Ryou, I would never hurt you." Marik reassured him.

"Even though Marik is a ravenous beast in bed, he can also be very gentle." Bakura said suddenly as he had seemingly come from nowhere, as he titled Ryou's face up to look at him, Malik smiled as he rested his chin on Ryou's shoulder. "But don't let them seduce you into something you don't want to do." Bakura glanced at Malik and Marik saying. "They can be very persuasive when they want to be."

Bakura was much like Marik and had wet hair from the shower and had removed his clothing at some point. "You're okay with this?" Ryou asked as Bakura gave a heave of a sigh, Marik was having troubles keeping still, he could feel the Human's hardness against him as well and he gripped Ryou's hips even tighter adding to the faint bruises from where Bakura had gripped Ryou a little to tightly as well at some point.

"When I said we were together, this is what I meant… but you don't have to sleep with them if you don't want too." Malik gave a whimper and hugged Ryou tighter.

"We would still love you anyway no matter what you decide." Marik groaned and added. "But can you make it quick because I don't think I can hold out much longer." To emphasize his point Marik bucked his hips up and made Ryou gasp.

"I want to be with all of you however that is." Ryou placed his hands onto Marik's chest to keep his balance looking the tanned Demon in the eyes; Malik moved away and got off the bed for a second.

"You must be sure on what you want, we can wait for you." Marik said all playfulness gone, glad that he was in more control over his body now that the Season had passed or Ryou would have been on his back or hands and knees and taken when he had walked by his bedroom door.

"I'm okay with this." Ryou said glancing at Bakura then at Marik and the two moaned together suddenly, Bakura glanced at Malik to see his hands vanished under the black robe and between Marik's thighs a tube of lubricant now lay on the bed.

"Are you ready Ryou?" Marik asked as he lifted Ryou up and positioned himself at the entrance of the Human's body.

"Wait!" Bakura said as he moved cupping Ryou's face in both hands and kissed his flushed and slightly sweaty Mate on the lips with whispered words of affection and pulled away to only pull Malik towards him.

Ryou gasped and closed his eyes as he clutched onto the body under him as Marik pressed his way into his body with a grunt. Ryou wasn't used to the size of Marik and it took him a few moments to adjust to him.

Malik cried out Bakura's name suddenly, he was pushed to Marik's chest as he was taken from behind, Marik reached over Malik and pulled that damn robe open and pulled it away from Ryou and threw it, then pulled Ryou down onto him for a kiss, which also ended up with Malik's lips in the kiss as well as Marik thrusted into him, Ryou sat up as Malik moved and took Ryou's member in his mouth.

Marik gripped Ryou's hips so tightly that he was sure to leave bruises behind; never had he thought that he would be doing this again with Ryou in his life time and he was about to lose it. "Ready my love?" Marik asked but didn't wait for answer as he really started to thrust into Ryou's body, who met Marik's thrust for thrust.

The collectives of moans and grunts filled the room from all four, Malik had been the first out of them to cry out, followed by Bakura. Malik still had Ryou's member in his mouth until Marik rolled himself and Ryou so he was now on top, the Human's knees were up and dug into his sides as Ryou had wrapped his legs about Marik's waist. Ryou had groaned out Marik's name as he came and a few more thrusts from Marik and the heat constricted on him that drove the Demon over the edge and came deep within Ryou and moaned and all four collapsed to the bed panting and spent, not one wanting to move at all and settled for pulling each other closer and snuggled down for a hug, the world could wait just a little longer until they were ready to get up.

Later that night, Marik was the first to wake up to find Ryou completely laying on him and both Malik and Bakura were snuggled against him on each of his sides. The silence was shattered with the rumble of his stomach and reminded him that he really needed to feed since he hadn't feed in a week and he was famished. "I'm starving too." Bakura mumbled opening his eyes and stretched with a yawn.

"Me too." Malik said lifting his head off Marik's shoulder.

"A late night snack it is." Marik said glancing down at Ryou through the darkness to see that his Human was the only one still to be sound asleep.

Bakura moved from the bed as did Malik and both went in search of clothes, Marik shifted and tried to move out from under Ryou.

"W…what?" Ryou mumbled reaching up to rub one eye as he lifted his head from Marik's chest. "Is something wrong?" He asked.

"Everything's fine, we're just a little hungry." Marik cupped one side of Ryou's face with his hand and then kissed him on the lips. "Could I get you anything while I'm out? Are you hungry?"

"No." Ryou glanced at the clock that read 1:15 am. "Is so late."

"Go to sleep we'll back before you know it." Bakura said kneeling on the bed as Ryou rolled off Marik so the Demon could get up and Ryou rolled onto his back just as Bakura lent down to kiss him.

"Will he be okay?" Malik asked as he watched Ryou snuggle down and drift off back to sleep, Marik and Bakura joined him at the bedroom door. "Maybe I should stay incase in he gets lonely." Both Marik and Bakura grabbed each of Malik's arms to pull him out of the bedroom.

"You need to feed as well." Bakura said over the top of Malik's protesting.

"If I can't be in bed with Ryou than neither can you." Marik growled which stopped Malik's mumblings. "We are all freezing together." With that the three left the house.

A while later the three had found their victim for the night to feed from and were heading home, the three were unable to take flight due to the many Human's about the nightclub district. "You know the Humans have the right idea." Bakura suddenly mumbled.

"About what?" Malik asked glancing up at Bakura his arm linked with Marik's as the three moved around a group of people standing just outside a bar talking with each other.

"The nightclubs." Bakura watched a couple heavily making out against a wall just in the dark shadows of an alleyway. "Think about it, a place that's open all hours of the night and a room full of Humans." He turned his attention back in the direction he was walking in.

"An endless supply of food." Marik mumbled with a smirk liking where this conversation was going.

"Eating the clientele." Malik laughed, he couldn't help himself, he found it funny; Bakura and Marik shot each other a rather large grin.

"It would save this tedious hunting on the occasion and then there is the issues of the weather, getting stuck out in the rain." Marik said, their attention went straight to Malik who's arm dislodged from Marik's arm and the half Demon stumbled back a little due to the Human that ran into him.

"Watch where you're going!" The Human snapped before he saw who he had waked into.

"You just made my night." Malik grinned at Honda.

"Isn't it late for little boys to be out at this time of night?" Bakura raised an eyebrow, but really this couldn't have been planed any better, there was no Ryou around to disapprove of all the not so pleasant ideas that came to mind that Bakura wanted to do to the Human.

"I... I'm on my way home." Honda turned to leave; Marik and Bakura grabbed both of his arms to stop him from leaving.

"You should hang." Marik gave a fanged grin that he saved for tormenting his victims and Honda paled his voice failed him and his mouth only opened and closed.

"A lesson, Human, could be learnt tonight on why you should stay away from my Human." Bakura hissed at him.

"Your what?" Honda looked from Marik to Bakura and back again confused and now very scared.

"Ryou, they're talking about Ryou." Malik huffed.

"Ryou is my friend." Honda protested as he was now being pulled away from the larger crowds of people.

"Not anymore." Bakura growled as the darkness of the night swallowed them up and no one noticed the three Demons dragging the Human away with them.

Across town and in a long line up of cages that held barking dogs, ranging in breeds, three figures moved in the darkness searching each cage they came across. "Master, I found him!" The Servant called out.

"Open it!" He commanded as he walked over, the Servant nodded her head as she ripped open the caged door with hardly any effort at all.

The second Servant and the youngest of the small group followed her Master closely behind and kept a watchful eye out just incase they would be attacked, the Master wasn't even close to being well enough to be in the Human Realm just yet, but the loss of contact on his Pet had brought him out from the safety of their home to find after the Witch had confessed to interrupting the Master's plans for her own reasons.

The Master crouched down looking into the cage to see his Pet huddled at the back of the cage naked and in his Human form. "Duke?" He twitched at the rare use of his name and glanced up at his Master.

"The Witch came and I've been stuck in here." He choked out in a sob.

"I know." The Master watched as Devlin crawled out of the box like cage only to collapse into his Master's arms. "Ishizu has been punished." The Master said as he pulled off his cloak and wrapped it about his Servant. "What did she do to you?" The Master whispered as Devlin clutched onto him.

The Master had sent out his Pet to this town in search of someone the Master was looking for, only to now find out what the Witch had had done to Devlin in his first week of being in town, and she had wiped his memories and blocked his powers and left him trapped in his dog form and at the mercy of the Human's.

The two Servants took Devlin from their Master and helped him to his feet; the shape-shifting Servant was weak from lack of food and stiff from lack of movement. "Make sure to give him something warm to eat, a hot bath and plenty of rest." He gave his Servants an order. "Then bring Ishizu to me."

"Aye, Master." With that they vanished from the Human Realm.

The next morning, Bakura pulled his car to a stop in the school's car park. "I'll pick you up this afternoon."

"I have a ride home." Ryou smiled as Bakura frowned.

"Who?" Bakura asked wanting to know.

Ryou lent over and kissed Bakura on the cheek. "You might know him, blonde, tanned skin, a real cutie, drives a motorbike and goes by the name of Malik."

"Oh him, his been a thorn in my side for sometime now, always taking your attention from me." Bakura playful scolded.

"Jealous?" Ryou asked grinning.

"Very." Bakura purred as he pulled Ryou into a deep kiss, the leather seats of the car creaking with their movement, the sound of a motorbike came and Ryou pulled away to catch his breath and glanced about as Marik pulled up along side them, with Malik on the back.

"That would be him now." Ryou jumped out of the car and rushed over to Malik throwing his arms about his neck for a hug.

"Where's mine?" Marik pouted as he got off the bike, Ryou turned about and gave Marik a hug and a kiss, that the tanned Demon turned the kiss into something more passionate, Malik chuckled.

"Marik!" Bakura said sharply getting his attention as he lent on his car. "We have somewhere to be."

Marik grinned as he glanced at Bakura while holding Ryou in a hug. "Oh, right." He gave Ryou a quick kiss to his lips. "Got to go, Humans to hunt, people to eat." Marik gave Ryou's rear end a firm squeeze on his way past, Ryou squeaked and blushed.

Bakura took the few steps and pulled Ryou into his arms purring as he nuzzled his nose into the Human's hair. "Don't worry I'll have your things by this afternoon." He felt Ryou tensed up, and Malik frowned as he gave the pale Demon a curious look.

"Just be careful." Ryou warned him as he pulled back enough to push himself up on his toes to kiss his Mate on the lips.

"I will, so don't worry." Bakura reassured him. "You want everything from your room?" Ryou nodded his head yes.

"Hey Ryou!" Joey called out waving and standing by him was Anzu.

"Come on!" She waved him over.

Ryou gave them a small wave, glad to see Joey again in what seemed to be a long time. "Go on Ryou everything will be fine." Bakura said again giving Ryou a small push towards his friends.

"Malik?" Ryou smiled at him.

"I'll be there in a second." Malik shot him a wink as Ryou jogged off to join the two near the front doors to the school.

Ryou stopped half way and turned giving them both wave and called out. "Thank you, Bakura!" The pale Demon just grinned.

"What's going on?" Malik asked.

"Marik and I are going to get all of Ryou's things from his apartment." Bakura shifted on his feet a little under the narrowed stare Malik had on him.

"Lets get moving!" Marik said from over the roof of the car.

"Wouldn't it be easer to buy Ryou new clothes?" Malik asked and he didn't mind Ryou getting around in his clothes.

"No." Bakura said. "Ryou doesn't want new clothes he wants his own and most of his belongings are left at the apartment."

"I see." Malik mumbled, the further away Ryou was to that apartment and his father the better he could relax. Malik then glanced at Bakura and wondered what the other's motive was behind him going and retrieving said belongings.

Malik shifted on his feet, knowing Ryou was well out of earshot. "Just keep in mind that Ryou still for some reason wants his father around and very much able to walk."

"I was thinking just to maim him a little." Bakura had lifted his hand and placed his thumb and forefinger a few inches apart for Malik to see.

"No." Malik scolded him. "Get Ryou's things and leave his father alone." He growled at them both in warning, than sighed. "I got to go." He walked up and kissed Bakura on the lips and gave Marik a wave as he turned then rushed away to catch up with Ryou.

"Do you think Ryou would really notice if we killed him?" Marik asked watching as Ryou talked with Joey and the girl.

"Probably." Bakura turned and glanced at Marik. "But we should get moving I wish to get the old man while he's at home."

A little later Bakura and Marik stood outside Ryou's apartment door, each holding a few cardboard boxes in their arms. "Should we knock?" Marik asked staring at the door.

"No." Bakura said as he placed everything down near his feet and started to pick the lock and in no time the door popped open and he flashed Marik a wide fanged grin as he picked everything up again and stepped inside, the tanned Demon followed him closing the door behind them.

"I can't believe Ryou lived here." Marik growled as he glanced about at the state of the apartment it had looked okay when they had first came here, but now it was just a big mess, from bottles of alcohol sat on every possible surface in the living room, dining and kitchen, clothes and newspapers were also in the mess and the t.v was left on with no picture but static with the volume turned right down. "Well the old guy isn't in here." Marik said walking in a little more.

"House keeping!" Bakura called out as he walked down he small hallway and pushed open the main bedroom door to find it empty. Bakura then turned and pushed Ryou's bedroom door open and what they were met with only made them angry. "What are we going to tell Ryou now?" Bakura asked with a growl, his Mate's bedroom had been the tidiest part of the apartment and now it was trashed. The bed was tipped over, books and papers torn up and thrown about the room, clothing was ripped up and left where they had been thrown about the room, nothing was left untouched.

"Lets just see what we can salvage and explain to Ryou what we found." Marik stepped in and glanced about as he placed the boxes down near his feet.

They had been packing for a while of what they could that belonged to Ryou and things that weren't damaged in anyway. A few photos of a very young Ryou that looked to be about the age of seven, there were a few of a young Ryou and a woman and Ryou's father, all looked happy, were savable from the broken frames they were in. A shoebox Marik found stored in the back of the closet was full of odds and ends. "This looks interesting." Marik said as he pulled off the shoebox lid. "A few drawn pictures..." Marik mumbled, they were mostly grey sketches of beautiful sceneries. "It would seem Bakura, that our Ryou is an artist." Marik hadn't even glanced up when he re-rolled up the paper and placed everything back into the shoebox along with a few more pictures of what Marik guessed where Ryou's family.

Marik and Bakura had packed the three boxes of Ryou's things into the car. "Wait!" Bakura headed back into he building.

"What?" Marik followed him back into the apartment.

"Ryou's bag, he packed for himself with most of his clothes and other things." Bakura started to move about the living room. "It's here somewhere."

"I'll check the bedroom again." Marik dashed off, when the front door slammed open suddenly.

"Who the hell are you?" He asked the stranger in his house and for the life of him he couldn't remember where he has seen this guy before and double checked the numbers on the front door to see if he had the right apartment.

Bakura straightened up and gave Ryou's father a fanged grin. "Alone at last."

"Found it, it was…" Marik trailed off upon seeing the old guy standing before him and shared the same grin Bakura had and dropped the packed bag onto a chair, watching Ryou's father like a cat would its prey.

"I feel a very needful and heartfelt conversation about Ryou and how you are never going to bother him again." Marik moved so fast across the room and Ryou's father turned to leave and ended up running face first into the door that he knew he had left open and busted his nose.

"Did that hurt?" Marik asked as he removed his hand from the door. "Let me help you up." He ripped the guy up to his feet and walked him into the living room while he held his bleeding nose, but he was still so drunk that he could hardly keep up with Marik's long strides and he stumbled a little and Marik let him go and the Human fell hitting his head on the armrest of the couch.

"Clumsy." Bakura said as Marik growled and grabbed the guy again and forced him to sit down on the couch.

"I haven't seen Ryou in a few weeks." He looked from Bakura to Marik.

"I would like to keep it that way." Bakura bent down at the waist slightly grabbing the man by the collar of his shirt and pulled him forward. "Now listen to me." Bakura allowed his dark eyes to bleed slowly and turn crimson for show, Ryou's father started to shake but couldn't tear his glaze away as teeth became too sharp for any person. "I'm going to give you one chance to keep your miserable little life that you have."

"What?" He was starting to sober up from his night of drinking, Bakura growled and slapped him one, the pain intensified because of his broken nose and cried out holding his face.

"Wasn't the answer I was looking for?!" Bakura growled his fangs visible when he spoke and gave him a shake, knowing full well that slapping him about wouldn't leave any marks that could be used on them later on.

"Again, you want to live?" Bakura this time let his large black feather wings out from his back, and the Human went into a ramble of incoherent words and shut his eyes tightly in hopes that when he reopened them the creature would be gone.

"Fuck, this is pathetic." Marik mumbled crossing his arms over his chest, even though Malik shared the same thoughts that this Human should be killed, they all respected Ryou's wishes to let him live, for now away.

The room grew suddenly cold and shadows moved as Bakura became even angrier at not getting the Human cooperate with him. "You want to live mortal?!" Bakura shook him and the man cried out.

"Yes! Yes! I want to live! Let me live!" He had wised that he hadn't of opened his eyes as, whatever it was looked even more frightening than before.

"If you see Ryou in town or wherever, you'll not talk to him, you won't even look at him, you'll turn and walk away. You leave Ryou alone, you get to live." Bakura released him and straightened up.

"What do you want with Ryou?" He blurted out shaking. "He's my son."

"No." Bakura narrowed his crimson eyes and growled out. "Ryou's my Mate." Ryou's father screamed out in seer panic of fear as the shadows in the living room came to life and wrapped themselves about his arms and legs holding him in place on the couch. "Do you understand?" Bakura hissed out adding for the drama and horror in tormenting the Human. "Or shall I pull you down with me to the depths of Hell?" Bakura laughed as Marik grinned.

"Get'em off!, Get'em off!" He screamed out struggling about to get free. "I'll do anything just leave me be!" His movements were getting slowed down as Bakura's powers tightened their hold on the Human to the point of crushing him to death slowly. The pale Demon now finding it hard to let the man go, knowing what he had tried to do with Ryou.

Marik glanced at the Human who was slowly turning blue from being constricted, then at Bakura who gritted his teeth watching his powers that were slowly killing the Human. "Bakura." Marik took a few steps closer knowing Bakura wouldn't willingly pull back. "Let him go before you kill him." Nothing happened Bakura didn't move and neither did his shadows. "Bakura!" Marik snapped this time getting his attention. "Let him go." Marik ordered him.

Bakura growled as he stepped back. "Stay away from Ryou." With that he turned and walked by Marik, who watched the shadows retreat back to where they had been conjured. Marik turned his attention to the guy that was coughing and mumbling under his breath on the couch.

"I promise I'll stay away." He mumbled over and over again almost sobbing like a punished child.

"Ryou belongs to us now Human, and if you wish to live you'll heed our warnings and stay away from him." Marik growled as Ryou's father now stared at him, blood from his nose was over some parts of his face and down his neck and chest. "You know Ryou was much more of man then you when he saw us for what we really are." Marik grabbed him by the hair and pulled him forward.

"My command Human is that you'll not pass this off as some random drunken dream, but a frightening reality." Marik's eyes flashed crimson and glanced down as he noticed something and heaved a sigh, "Humans." He noticed a large wet patch on the couch as the man had truly wet himself in his fear. Marik shook his head. "Say goodnight." Before he knew what was coming, Marik punched him out cold and watched as the Human fell to the couch unconscious.

Marik walked towards the front door, his wings vanished into his back as he plucked up Ryou's bag and left the apartment.

Later that day Ryou, Malik, Joey, Yugi and Anzu sat under the tree and ate their lunch together, Malik had spat out his lunch and almost choked when Joey mentioned the Healer and what he had done for him. "So we took the drive out to this really nice house where…"

"Seto!" Malik choked out coughing while trying to down his food. "Seto, the I'm too good for the world, Seto? Seto Kaiba?"

"Yes, Malik!" Joey rolled his eyes. "Anyway, this place is awesome and Serenity is getting the best care…"

"How could you even be with someone like Seto?" Malik interrupted again. "You know he's a." Ryou placed his hand over Malik's mouth.

"It's not our place to say Malik." Ryou hissed at him.

"What that Seto is a … Demon" Joey whispered and nervously shifted in his place. "I know you think that I'm crazy to say something like that, but he is." He glanced away waiting for them to laugh at him, but it never came.

"Malik's a Demon." Ryou said taking his hand from Malik's mouth and sitting back in his place.

"Half Demon, Ryou." Malik corrected him. "I was Human once."

"Really?! I thought you were a full Demon?" Ryou said sounding surprised.

"Half Demon. Do you still love me?" Malik grinned as Ryou lent over and kissed him soundly on the lips.

"You were saying?" Yugi coughed out as he pushed aside something on his lunch tray with a look of disgust that he even considered eating it in the first place.

Ryou pulled away as Malik growled at the short teen. "Well I'm Mated to Bakura who's a Demon and there is also Marik." Ryou shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm the one Mated to Marik." Malik said.

"Yami is one as well." Yugi spoke up. "But he is the Demon Lord and I'm Mated to him." Yugi frowned and bit his lip glancing about just as nervously as Joey had. "Just don't tell my Grandpa yet, he doesn't know."

"Wow, I had no idea you guys where this involved." Joey laughed. "I was freaking on how to tell you guys."

"What about you Anzu?" Malik asked, nudging her with his foot. "What Coven do you belong to?" He hadn't missed the knowledge of the girl being a Witch when he had first laid eyes on her.

"Me?" She blinked a few times." Well, I'm only just starting, but I got an invitation to study in Venice on Witchcraft."

"But, I thought you were a Demon?" Joey looked confused for a second. "I mean you work in that place that Seto put Serenity into."

"Oh, I do work there, Joey." Anzu smiled as she pulled apart her bread roll. "But it's a part time thing and I like it."

"You were saying Joey." Yugi said turning back to the subject that they had been on before.

"Oh, right, so Seto got Serenity into this place to be taken care of by Demon Healers. Something about Vampire Pet's can't survive without their Master and only Demon's can help her now and he'll drive me anytime I want to see her and I couldn't be happier where she is."

"Seto?" Malik blurted out again, Ryou rolled his eyes, Anzu grinned, Yugi raised an eyebrow as Joey gave the half Demon a scolding look him. "Seto doesn't do anything for anyone unless he's getting something in… oh, OH!" Malik just about yelled out. "How could you?! It's SETO!"

"Malik give is a rest." Ryou said.

"He's Mated to the most cold-hearted bastard know to the Demonic Realms." Malik shook his head. "Does he even have a heart that beats?"

"Malik, that's rude." Ryou hissed at him.

"Same could be said for Bakura and Marik." Yugi glanced up.

"You got something to say about Marik?!" Malik growled his fangs lengthening and eyes turning crimson.

"Calm down Malik." Ryou placed his hand on the Half Demon's shoulder.

"Just saying that none of us really knows what our Mats are really like." Yugi shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm glad." Joey said. "For the first time in a long time I have someone and he is really looking out for me and now my Sister as well and I didn't even ask him too."

"I'm happy for you Joey." Anzu said.

"Me too, Joey." Ryou added.

"Same here." Yugi grinned at him.

"Seto?" Malik said again.

"That's it." Ryou growled out as he, Yugi and Joey all tackled Malik in a mock fight rolling about the grass.

Anzu sighed heavily as she watched them. "Boys."

Later that afternoon, Malik pulled up to a stop outside the mansion and helped Ryou off the back of the motorbike. "Bakura and Marik should be home now." Malik rushed up to the door and stopped when Ryou hadn't followed him. "What's wrong?" He asked worriedly.

"Well." Ryou bit his lip for a second, then saying. "As soon as I walk through that door this house will be my new home." Malik dropped his bag and helmet near the front door and approached Ryou.

"No, Ryou this isn't your home." Malik wrapped his arms about him in a hug and suddenly more arms joined Malik's and Ryou found himself in the center of a hug.

"We have lost to many places that we once called home." Marik said.

"So now our home is wherever we are and can be together." Bakura said kissing the side of Ryou's cheek.

"So do you still wish to move in with us?" Malik asked, nervously watching as Ryou glanced up at the house and heaved a sigh.

"Yes." Ryou nodded his head and with that he was guided into the mansion's front doors and his new life.
