Chapter 6: When the nightmare returns


Bakura was looking at Ryou’s sleeping face and had to smile. His lover looked so beautiful when he was lying next to him. It was like he belonged there. Right next to Bakura and nowhere else. After the teary confession Bakura had taken the younger boy back into the bedroom. A smile crept on his face when he thought about it. Every time he spent with Ryou seemed to be better than before. Bakura was determined to make sure that it was going to be that way from now on.

Ryou moved in his sleep and incoherently murmured something. Bakura lowered his face to him and teasingly kissed the sleeping boy. Almost immediately, he could feel the heat returning full force. //It seems I can’t get enough of him!// Bakura let his hands roam the smooth skin and continued kissing the cherry lips. //So sweet! I can’t believe this! It is heaven to make love to something so beautiful. I really was born on a lucky planet.//

A soft moan escaped Ryou’s lips and Bakura smirked. “’Kura, what are you doing?” Ryou gasped when his lover started leaving a light trail of kisses on his jaw and neck. His breath quickly became short from Bakura’s ministrations. With his head pressed into the pillow to give his love more space, Ryou half-cried when he felt Bakura’s hand teasingly stroking his inner thigh. Encouraged by the sound his lover made, Bakura pressed his lips against Ryou’s, earning a deep kiss.

When they parted, Ryou was left breathless. Before anything more could happen, he gently pushed his lover away. “’Kura, it’s late and I promised Amane to go shopping.”

Bakura attacked the smooth skin behind his ear and earned a surprised yelp from the boy. “Forget her! Amane will not go back before eight or nine and now it’s still only eleven in the morning! Which means …” he devilishly smiled and was ready to kiss Ryou, but the boy pressed his hand to Bakura’s lips and finished instead of him.

“… that I should go and make something to eat.” When he saw the disappointment in his lover’s eyes, Ryou smiled gently and whispered into his ear.

“I will make it up to you later. How does that sound?”

Bakura gave him a playful growl. “Better be really good. But I have to refuse the meal. I’m not feeling really hungry. You go ahead!!” Ryou nuzzled his face into Bakura’s neck and sighed when he left the warm body.

“’Kura, I’m going to take a shower and then I will go to the shop. Want to go with me?”

“Not really. The shopping centre freaks me out. May I join you for the shower?” His lover blushed faintly when he heard that. “’Kura, I really need to go shopping. Can you think about something else at least for five minutes?”


Bakura shrugged and looked thoughtfully at Ryou. “Well, back in bed then? Though the shower would be nice!” Blushing furiously, Ryou fled the room. In the air Bakura’s laugh was still heard when he turned the shower on. As the hot water started falling on his body, Ryou couldn’t help but think about his lover. The night and the morning had been beautiful. He would never have guessed that sharing love could be so wonderful. And exhausting. In spite of the sore body Ryou smiled. Something back in his mind tried to catch his attention, but he pushed it away. Everything he wanted to think about was Bakura.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Amane couldn’t move. Her body was frozen on the same spot and refused to move even an inch. The mind of the scientist was paralysed by pure fear. Automatically, like a machine, she bent down and picked the phone up. With shaking hands she tried to call home. But she couldn’t focus on the small numbers on the phone. Again, it was useless. The phone fell from her hands one more time.

//Think, girl! It’s probably one of his stupid jokes. He just wants you to panic and be scared. And hell, he is successful. It’s okay! Ryou is safe with Bakura. He won’t let that psycho hurt Ryou again.//

Amane put her head into her hands and sighed. It was so hard to convince her mind that it was okay. That nothing bad had happened and that her brother was alright. Her mind was floating in an ocean of possibilities. Her heart was racing and no matter how hard she tried she couldn’t calm down. The call from Marik had caused an increasing pressure on her mind.

She didn’t know how long she had been just sitting in the chair, staring at nothing. All that pain caused to her almost three years ago was back and she didn’t know how to stop it. How to stop Marik. It was like a nightmare. A never-ending nightmare she couldn’t stop and prevent from returning. Amane sank deeper into the chair and hugged herself. So hurt, so frightened. Like a little animal, she wished to find a very dark corner where she could hide and never be found again.

It was just so hard. In her mind, she replayed everything that had happened that day so long ago. Her teary confession to Father Charles. The broken body of her brother. The men telling her to give up. … Marik’s insane eyes.

These eyes. They were haunting her with all the power of hell. Amane wanted so
much to forget. The more she tried the less possible it was. It was her personal nightmare. Her personal hell. She had sold her soul to the devil and she was aware of that. It was like in a dream when she remembered the talk with Father Charles. The fact that he didn’t judge her for what she had done was the only thing keeping her going for so long.

Like a robot, Amane put herself together. Now wasn’t the best time for giving up.
After all, she was a scientist and giving up didn’t exist in science. With one very deep breath, she started dialling the number of Father Charles. Patiently, Amane waited for an answer. It took long, but after that there was an answer.

“Hello?” the voice was a little groggy. Amane didn’t doubt that she had woken the priest from a deep sleep.

“Father Charles? It’s Amane.”

“Amane, do you know what the time is here? What happened?”

She sighed in relief. Good old Father Charles. Without anything else, he always knew.

“Could you please do me a favour and find where Marik is right now?”

“Marik? Dear Lord! I heard about it a few days ago, but he has left England. I’m not sure what truth is in this. Don’t worry. I will find out. He contacted you, right?”

It took all her willpower not to drop the phone again. In a shaking voice Amane tried to answer as well as possible.

“Yes, he contacted me. Please, Father, try to find out where he is right now.”

“Don’t worry, I will do my best. Be careful, Amane!”

She hung up the phone and tried to stop tears from falling. It was so unfair. Everything was starting to be normal. Her brother and she were both happy. Bakura made sure of it. They lived like a family. Ryou was in love!

And that devil in human disguise appeared again.

Amane started dialling another number. This time it was home.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Bakura was more than just sure that after Ryou had left the room he had fallen asleep again. When he woke up, there was no sign of his lover. There was a simple note on the desk telling him that Ryou had gone to a shop.

He smiled to himself when he looked at the neat handwriting. The wonderful feeling of when he had been inside of Ryou momentary left his mind less worried. Only thinking about how beautiful Ryou was made Bakura feel eager to touch him again. The clock on the wall was showing nearly one in the afternoon. It was a little bit odd, but Ryou should be back. Maybe he was just looking for something. Ryou’s attention was easily distracted.

At least it gave Bakura time to take a shower.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Ryou was walking slowly and checking his list of the groceries he’d wanted to buy. It seemed that he had gotten everything. Smiling softly to himself, Ryou continued in his way back home. The smile just didn’t want to go away from his face. It was like the events of last night and this morning had left him completely unprotected against the wave of happiness he felt.

He had never felt this way before. He wanted to jump and scream Bakura’s name like he did during their lovemaking. That memory could still bring a blush to his pale cheeks. His smile widened when he thought about the making up he had promised to Bakura after they’d woken up. Or rather, after Bakura had woken him up. Ryou couldn’t say he would mind waking up like that more often.

Since he had met Bakura the whole world looked brighter. Ryou took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Life was perfect and Bakura made Ryou sure of it.

It was while Ryou was passing one of the side streets; a hand covered his mouth with some sweetly smelling cloth. The bags fell from his hands and the world turned into darkness.
