The Pharaohs Gift

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.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> 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 dagthatthat
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 ry bry 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.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> He sighed and continued to walk.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> 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.

&n]> 

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 contin but 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!
