Baku, Ra, to Ringu: UnCut

If you truly love your hikari, there's only one thing you can do.

"Why don't you look at Malik?"

RaChan...

"No one's seen him since yesterday."

My beautiful light...

"Maybe he did it, then ran off somewhere!"

Please, don't get angry.

"Or maybe your evil twin there hacked him into so many pieces, no one'll ever find him!"

That's my job.

Bakura forced himself awake and was not happy to find himself tied down. He struggled against the leather cuffs binding him to the bed.

"Stop. You'll hurt yourself."� Ryou placed his hands on the sides of Bakura's face. "Please."

Bakura calmed down, and sighed. "Why am I here?"

"You had some sort of seizure."

Bakura glared right into Jouno's eyes. "I didn't kill your friends."

Jouno glared back. "Yes, and everyone knows your word's as good as gold."

Anzu stepped between them. "Stop it, both of you--"

Her cell phone rang. "Hello?"

It was Kaiba. "I trust Yugi and the mutt are with you."

"How'd you know?"

"You friendship freaks are always together. Bring them to my mansion. My men have found something."

"What is it?"

"You'll have to see for yourself. I'm not even sure what the hell it is."

Malik was crammed into the back seat of the sports car that had hit him. His shins hurt from where the bumper had connected, and his forearms were sore from trying to break his fall.

ShuChan turned and smiled at him. "You alright, Malik?"

Malik nodded in spite of his discomfort.

"Anyway, Yuki's got family in Kyoto, so we're gonna stay there until things calm down."

Yuki was driving. Malik stared at the man's blonde hair.

Some Japanese dislike foreigners, and flip out over people with blonde hair.

Shuichi's friends with a blonde, so obviously he's not one of those narrow minded assholes.

It would be possible for him to like me in this body.

"It's a good thing we found you. I'm sure Yuki's family has some space for you, no problem."

Malik had left his motorcycle parked in front of the boutique so he could pretend to need help. He would have to go back for it later, after he'd killed them both.

He closed his eyes. Hm. Maybe I shouldn't kill Shuichi-- he seems like a truly kind person. And he's beautiful.

He opened his eyes and jumped when he found ShuChan staring at him. "What's wrong, Malik? Sleepy?"

"... Uh... Yes. Very."

Very beautiful. The most adorable creature I've ever laid eyes on. I'd love to rape him.

"Hey, Yuki! Let's get something to eat!"

"No."

"But Tokyo's already far behind us, it should be alright!"

"Shut up. Your voice is irritating."

Or better yet...

Malik looked down at his hands.

This Malik guy's cute, sure. But ShuChan's cuter.

A smile appeared on his face.

Maybe it's time for an upgrade.
