Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Baby of Mine ❯ Where You Belong ( Chapter 1 )

Welcome to all my reviewers! I'm glad you guys found me!

You guys haven't been hugged by Ryou in a while, haven't you???? Sorry *Ryou hugs Reviewers *

Dragondreamer Yami Dragon: Well, it seems everyone knows where it came from.

Tiamat: Ryou's mood swings are gonna be hilarious!

Lupusdragon: I love you, too, lupusdragon. You guys deserve the recognition. I got teary too when Ryou begged he didn't want

to die. Poor Ryou.

Hotaruchan: I'm relieved you found me. I was afraid you wouldn't , but here you are! If you click on my penname at the top of the page,

you'll be brought to a list of all the fics I write. You can bookmark it if you want and if you don't get into trouble for bookmarking my stuff.

This way I am always accessible to you!

Angel Black: My good Angel Black! Hope your cat doesn't bite you too bad. Yeah, Ryou lives. I wouldn't harm him to the point he

can't appear in my fics.

PetiteAngel: Thank you, petiteangel. This prologue was written on a whim. I didn't plan it, but it seemed necessary as background

information for this chappie.

Ssjgoddesschico: We find out who financed Ryou's operation next chappie. I guess I'll keep you in suspense because I know

you like suspense.

Mononoke: You know me, I have to put lemons in because they are so popular with you guys. I love to add them in too. *giggle *

Anyway, I know this fic started sad, but I needed it as background info for this chappie. The opportunity for angst was too hard to pass up.

Suzaku Princess: I will put in Rod jokes whenever I can. I love the addition of YEAH FRIENDSHIP! to your review! Ha Ha. That's

becoming a common phrase. Pegasus funding Ryou's operation, huh? That's a new suggestion and an interesting one, but we'll find

out next chappie who did.

QuadPrower (Mike): Ryou and Bakura are beautiful together and I really loved the fall of icarus. As far as Rhea is concerned, I love

her as a character. She is such a sweetheart (at least when it comes to Ryou).

Gralnak: I can't hide anything from you, Gralnak. Yes. He did.

AMT: I never thought of Cinetti's wife sending the check. Maybe I can bring her back sometime. However, it wasn't his wife. Did

you name that fish Yami? Tell me if you did! I laughed myself silly thinking my story inspired you to do that! You named the algae

eater Yami? If you did, I will love you forever!

Where you Belong

Bakura's POV

I slowly opened my eyes to see another dawn peeking its rays into my dark bedroom. Rubbing my eyes,

I became keenly aware of an arm wrapped around my hip gingerly caressing my skin. For a moment, I thought I had heard

Ryou moaning in his sleep or felt his breath on the back of my neck. I closed my eyes when I felt the hand on my hip move to my

hair and push it back. I smiled as I felt a gentle kiss being planted on the back of my neck. Over my shoulder poked the head of Malik Ishtar.

I turned onto my back and found him hovering over me smiling.

He stroked my cheek and planted a gentle kiss on my lips without saying a word. Ryou spent the last week in the hospital and I had been

lonely during the nights. It was hard to sleep without Ryou. I was used to the beautiful symphony of his breathing and the beating of his

mortal heart comforted me. Malik, like Ryou was soft and comforting. His touch was gentle like my angel's touch. His hair was

soft and delicate. Even his scent was delicate like Ryou's. With Ryou gone, Malik's smile and laughter ….his loving touch helped me

through the first three days after Ryou's surgery. All I did was wait by the phone for news of his progress. Malik held me to his chest

the night before to muffle my cries for Ryou. He never let me go.

Slowly he placed himself on top of me and we both moaned in pleasure. We just enjoyed the comfort of being together. That is why Malik

stayed with me. I knew he loved Ryou and maybe he loved me because I looked like Ryou with the exception of my spiky hair. The blonde

boy pulled away from our kiss first with a smile and wide eyes.

"Today we bring Ryou home! Can you believe it? What a week!" Malik jumped up like a little kid. "We bring him home today!" Malik

quickly pulled on his shirt and ran out of the room excitedly.

Marik came walking in calmly. "Looks like I'll get Malik back tonight then if we are bringing Ryou home."

"I miss him, Marik. I've been so worried about him. Finally we can bring him home." Marik walked over to me and kissed me on the lips,

but with more dominance.

"I'm glad he's coming home, too. My hikari will not be moping around anymore."

Marik left quietly. I sat up in bed running my hand over the vacant space my beloved Ryou used to occupy. I picked up the envelope from

the side table and read the enclosed note over for what seemed the millionth time: Use this to fund Ryou's operation.

Without Ryou, I am nothing.

I had so much to do before we brought Ryou home, I could not reminisce. Marik left his clothes hanging off the banisters and I was

trying to show him how to clean up after himself. I jumped out of bed and changed. I quickly cleaned up the banisters and straightened

up my room. I ran downstairs and grabbed a pair of scissors. In the back yard, Malik planted a rose bush right after Ryou and I moved in.

I clipped two rosebuds from the bush and placed them in a vase by Ryou's side of the bed. I had to remember to buy him a bouquet too.

Malik made a hasty breakfast and I helped him clean up. Isis walked down the stairs yawning that her brother woke her up with being so

excited about Ryou. When Isis was done her breakfast, we ran to the car. Malik and I ran like children. Marik and Isis walked

calmly shaking their heads at our lack of emotional restraint.

My heart beat furiously as we walked to sign Ryou out. The paperwork was extensive, but when it was all over, it was worth it.

I carried a bouquet of flowers to Ryou's room.

"Come in," called the happy voice from inside the room. I opened the door to see Ryou in his hospital bed smiling. He opened his arms to

me and I flew into them attracted by their powerful force. "Yami, you came for me!" He brought me into the heaven that was his arms.

He nuzzled his face into my shoulder kissing my neck repeatedly. I cradled him against my shoulder lightly careful not to bother the

small incisions on his chest. I gripped his hair tightly as I tried to convince myself he was still here with me.

"We'll get you home where you belong."

Ryou turned my head and he kissed me gently on the lips smiling. Marik and Malik cleared their throats behind us and we heard the

door close. I could sense Ryou and I were alone in the room.

He laughed as he pulled himself reluctantly away for breath. "I wanted to do that since you left yesterday. I stayed up for a while

thinking about how I was going to kiss you when you came in."

"I've been thinking about this moment, too, Ryou. I wanted to take you home so you can be by my side where you belong."

The doctors finally gave me permission to replace his wedding ring on his finger. I slowly slipped it on him. "Until death do us part, my beloved."

Ryou looked down at the bouquet I bought at the hospital store. He clutched them to him with excitement. "They're for me?"

I nodded and Ryou smelled the flowers. His arms enveloped me again and I called for Malik and Marik to help me with Ryou.

Malik ran in and laughed as he hugged Ryou loosely. "The house hasn't been the same without you," Malik said.

"I missed you, too, Malik." Ryou looked at Marik standing by the door. Ryou opened his arms to the other yami. "Marik, don't

I get a hug?" Ryou asked.

My playful Ryou was back! That was a good sign. Marik walked to Ryou and hugged him. My hikari planted a kiss on Marik's cheek.

"Let's go home, yami," Ryou said wrapping his arm around mine. I helped Ryou to Isis' car and he snuggled close to me.

Meanwhile in the Shadow Realm…….

Two figures stood around a glowing orb. Inside the orb, Bakura and Ryou were holding onto each other with the bouquet of

flowers between them.

"Enjoy each other's company for now," the tall figure said laughing. "You will not be together for too much longer."

The smaller figure grinned. "This is the beginning of the end for you, Bakura and Ryou, the smaller figure sneered.

The tall man pulled down his hood to reveal his scarred face. "Till death do you part? We shall see to that."

Next chappie: Who saved Ryou's life? ANZU BASHING NEXT CHAPPIE *grabs mallet and chuckles evilly *
