The Pharaohs Gift-Chapter 8

Ryou sat still on the Pharaohs bed stunned of what Malik
said to him,

“I think the Pharaohs in love with you”

In love with me? Ryou said to himself, he sure has a funny
way of showing it, he thought as he laid down.
He didn’t believe what Malik had said but he had such a serious tone it
was hard not to take him seriously, he remembered the conversation they all had
after what Malik had said.

“That’s absurd!” Bakura said

“Is it? Has he ever treated any other slave like this? No he
hasn’t.” Malik said folding his arms.

“He has punished all his slaves, he treats Ryou the same.”
Joey said

“That’s not what an, an, Ryou shares his chamber no other
has before not even his wife shared his chamber…he allows him to roam about the
Palace he doesn’t conceal him in the harem with the others.” Malik said
explaining.

“That makes no sense though, he loves him but beats him
within an inch of his life? I’m not seeing it happening.” Bakura said sitting
next to Ryou.

“I agree.” Joey said, “I just don’t see him hurting someone
he loves.”

“He doesn’t know he’s in love, the Pharaoh has no clue what
love is even. He probably feels such anger
and hatred toward Ryou because he doesn’t understand the feelings he has for
Ryou, and the only way to deal with them is to make Ryou unappealing…but he has
guilt afterward which only makes him angrier.” Malik said

“Make him unappealing?” Joeked

“Give him to someone he hates, beat him, rape him, anything
that would make him think Ryou as nothing but a slave.” Bakura said.

“So is there nothing I can do?” Ryou asked pleadingly. “Its
not my fault he likes me!” Ryou yelled.

“I know its not your fault, maybe we can get him to treat
you better, if I can bring up the subject.” Malik said rubbing the back of his
neck.

“Thank you.” Ryou said meekly.

Bakura picked him up gently; his legs were still slightly
numb, as he carried him back to the Pharaohs chamber. He set him gently on the
bed.

“Whatever we do I promise I wont let him keep you for much
longer.” Bakura said.

He quickly kissed Ryou on the forehead and left without
another word.

Ryou touched his forehead slightly remembering the
kiss. His lips were gentle not rough
like he originally thought, he such a firm voice and body language but he was
actually very gentle. It was probably
just a façade he put on for people, so that he wouldn’t be pushed around, Ryou
wished he could do something like that…maybe he could have avoided this whole
situation if he was a little stronger.
He looked outside the sun was set as he sat patiently on the bed but the
Pharaoh never came, and finally Ryou had got so tired he fell asleep.

Yami sat in the throne room not wanting to face Ryou.style="mso-spac: ye: yes"> Why he was still unsure, but he felt such an
overwhelming guilt for what he had done to him he didn’t want to face him.

“Highness?” Malik asked

“What is it?” Yami said a bit irritated

“Its late sire, why are you still here? You should retire to
your chamber.” Malik said

“I’m not tired is all.” Yami lied

“Dismiss me if willwill sire, but I think you are avoiding
someone.” Malik said

“Really?” Yami said smoothly “Who? Enlighten me.”

“Ryou.” Malik said

“Absurd…he’s a slave why would I be avoiding him?”

“You don’t want to see him beautiful again, he’s much easier
to look at if he’s hurt isn’t he? But his beauty frightens you.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> You like him don’t you?”style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Malik said.

“Insane, how could I possibly love a slave?” Yami said

“I didn’t say you loved him sire…however, you did” Malik
said

Yami looked at him angry “Like, love what is the difference,
I don not feel anything for him!” Yami yelled

“You obviously have a large amount of hatred toward him.”
Malik said

“Leave me now Malik.” Yami said

Malik couldn’t question him then as he quietly left the
throne ro/p> /p>

That idiot Malik! Putting these ridiculous ideas within my
head, why and how could I possibly care for Ryou? He is a slave…nothing more.
Yami straightened himself as he walked down the halls to his
chamber. He quietly opened the doors,
and sighed relived that Ryou was asleep. He sat upon the bed running his
fingers through Ryou’s hair. He really
was beautiful; maybe he was easier to look at when in pain.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> He loved him yet he hated him.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Yami stood up suddenly.

“I did not just say that!” Yami said in disbeliefstyle="mso-spacerun: yes"> “I did not admit I love him…I don’t…I”

He stopped looking back over Ryou, sighing in defeat.

“I love you…and I’m sorry.” Yami said softly

He lay next to Ryou holding him gently as he feel asleep
with Ryou in his arms never waking him up.

I hear... a voice say "Don't be so blind"...

it's telling me all these things...

that you would probably hide...

am I... your one and only desire...

am I the reason you breath...

or am I the reason you cry...

Always... always... always... always... always... always... always...

I just can't live without you...

I love you...

I hate you...

I can't live without you...

I breathe you...

I taste you...

I can't live without you...

I just can't take anymore...

this life of solitude...

I guess that I’m out the door...

and now I’m done with you...

Il...l... like you don't want me around...

I guess I’ll pack all my things...

I guess I’ll see you around...

Inside... it bottles up until now...

as I walk out your door...

all I hear is the sound...

Always... always... always... always... always... always... always...

I just can't live without you...

I love you...

I hate you...

I can't live without you...

I breathe you...

I taste you...

I can't live without you...

I just can't take anymore...

this life of solitude...

I guess that I’m out the door...

and now I’m done with you...

I love you...

I hate you...

I can't live without you...

I left my head around your heart...

Why would you tear my world apart...

Always... always... always... always...

I see... the blood all over your hands...

does it make you feel... more like a man...

was it all... just a part of your plan...

this pistol's shakin' in my hands...

and all I hear is the sound...

I love you...

I hate you...

I can't live without you...

I breathe you...

I taste you...

I can't live without you...

I just can't take anymore...

this life of solitude...

I guess that I’m out the door...

and now I’m done with you...

I love you...

I hate you...

I can't live without you...

I love you...

I hate you...

I can't live without you...

I just can't take anymore...

this life of solitude...

I pick myself off the floor...

and now I’m done with you...

Always...

Always...

Always...

The song is Always by
Saliva I put it in the story because it kind of describes how Yami feels about
Ryou, not being able to really decide between love and hate until now.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Yeah hopefully less beatings for Ryou in the
next chapters, but now Ryou has two people that care for him greatly I’ll let
you guess on who the other admirer is will it be Malik or will it be Bakura? I
always welcome suggestions. Please R/R!

PLEASE NO FLAMES!

PLEASE REVIEW!
