Shadow Love
February 13th
His hand lightly moved across the spine of the books, his eyes following shortly after, reading the title just before his hand could cover it. This was a long and boring process; trying to find a new book to read, but there was nothing else to do. Everyone was out preparing for Valentine's Day; buying roses, chocolates, cards or anything else they could conceive of. A small scowl, that looked more like a pout appeared on Ryou's face.
He never liked February 14th; he had never seen the big thing in buying all these romantic gestures once a year for someone special and then never doing it for the other 364 days of the year.
The bell to the store he was in jingled and a small sigh escaped his mouth. Letting his hand stop he quickly grabbed the book he had last been hovering over, wanting to escape the shopper who was most likely looking for a book for their partner.
Walking towards the counter he looked down at the book he had grabbed. He gave a small snort; it was a book on magical ways to improve love.
He lived with Bakura an Egyptian spirit turned mortal, who still possessed shadow powers capable of locking souls away and breaking minds; somehow he just couldn't see love magic working.
"Are you going to by that?" A voice asked snapping him from his thoughts.
Lifting his head he met the annoyed blue eyes of the shopkeeper. Flicking his eyes to the book once again he came to a decision. "Sure, why not."
Walking over to the register he handed the book over to the shopkeeper, or more accurately James, if his name tag was any indication.
"So plan on making someone fall for you tomorrow? Or making two friends fall for each other?"
Ryou didn't answer just watched as James routinely rang up the sale. Taking his silence for a confession he continued "Yeah my girlfriend's like that she bought this exact book, plans on seating up two of our friends, she claims Valentines Day is the most romantic day of the year." James shook his head while smiling fondly.
Looking towards the man's face for the first time Ryou responded "Valentine's isn't the most romantic day of the year." James cocked an eyebrow while handing over the book.
"Then what is it?"
Pulling out the money he owed he placed it on the counter before answering "It's the loneliest." And without waiting for a reaction he left the store and headed home.
Bakura would probably be wanting dinner after all.
--
When he arrived outside his home he froze before looking to the sky in a gesture of 'why me' but that turned out to be a mistake because on the roof was two very naked Egyptians doing things, he NEVER wanted to see them do. He quickly looked at the ground, a blush staining his cheeks as he shouted "What the hell are you two doing on my roof?"
Malik's voice answered his question a few seconds later. "Well we were kissing until you interrupted us, but we were planning on…."
"Don't finish that sentence!" Ryou yelled, cutting Malik off while snapping his head up to glare at them.
Malik was sitting crossed legged on the edge of the roof while Marik was draped over his back.
He heard the sound of a camera snap behind him causing him to gulp before nervously turning around. He had expected to find his elderly neighbour there threatening to call the police, but what he found was much worse.
There were about 20 girls all whispering and pointing at the naked Egyptians, three of them were holding cameras. After a few seconds one stood up and said "Ummm, you two." She pointed at Marik and Malik who both raised eyebrows at the exact same time making a few girls squeal.
"What are you names?" They looked at each other before Malik said "I'm Malik he's Marik."
Ryou felt like whacking them aside the head, but remembering what they had been doing on his roof and what they had probably helped Bakura do to his house, he decided to simply stay silent.
After a few seconds of whispering and giggling the first girl moved away from the girls and while smiling said "We are now your official Yaoi fanclub called Blondes On The Roof, and it is our duty to watch you, and keep you together…..oh and to document you for future members."
Ryou bit his lip before looking up at the Egyptians. They both sat frozen on the roof mouths agape.
A small smile played on Ryou's mouth, he wasn't sure if Bakura was rubbing off on him or if he just really hated tomorrow but he turned to the head Fangirl and said "You know this is my house, if you want you could go up and talk to them."
All the fangirls looked at Ryou with big wide puppy-dog eyes. "You'd do that for us?" One of them asked.
Looking up at the panicking Egyptians he replied "Sure, follow me"
He had taken maybe two steps when Marik yelled "Don't you dare Ryou! If you do I will beat the crap out of you."
Nodding Malik quickly added "Besides, your not that evil!" Ryou looked back at them, that small smile still playing on his lips as he said "You right, I'm not that evil."
They both gave sighs of relief but that turned back to panic when Ryou yelled "Bakura!"
A few seconds later Bakura stuck his head out the door and yelled back "What? This had better be important!"
Giving a small innocent smile Ryou said "Bakura I'm not sure what to do."
Coming further out the door Bakura said gruffly "Bout what?"
Continuing Ryou spoke "Well first of all about Marik and Malik who are naked on our roof."
He paused as he watched Bakura's face turn to annoyance before saying "And these Yaoi fangirls who have just dedicated a club to Marik and Malik."
Bakura blinked for a few seconds before gaining an evil smirk that covered his face. Walking over to said fangirls he said "Well if you want I can give you a lot of details about those two and if your good I can take you up to meet them."
The squeal that came from the group of girls was high enough to shatter glass. Grabbing Bakura they plopped him down on a cushion that they got from good knows where before sitting around him in a circle, notepads drawn.
Smiling Ryou started to head inside ignoring the charred parts of the house, just as he opened the door Marik and Malik started yelling threats at Bakura which he, as usual payed no mind to. Walking through the house he avoided the kitchen where he knew there would mostly likely be destroyed or missing pieces of things that were probably floating around in the shadow realm.
When he got to the lounge he groaned, there was mess everywhere; he couldn't even see the floor. He went to rub his temples when he remembered he was still holding the book he had bought.
Giving the lounge room one last dread filled look he headed up to his room. When he reached it he sat on his bed and had just flicked the book open when a combined shout from Bakura, Malik and Marik made him drop the book on the floor before rushing out of his room.
Entering the lounge he found Bakura barricading the door with an armchair, a fully clothed Marik enhancing the windows with shadow power and Malik running around the room pulling on his clothes.
Blinking Ryou said "What's going on?"
Stopping with his shirt half on Malik said "Bakura said that he had once kissed Marik and then they all started chanting threesome and then one of them remembered you and now there all chanting foursome and trying to get into the house."
By the end of the explanation Ryou's eyes were wide. Turning to Bakura he asked "You've kissed Marik?"
Everyone in the room froze before Bakura said "That's what you paid attention to? Why do you even care about that? Your house and us in the process are about to be destroyed."
Rolling his eyes Ryou walked over to the door and pulled the armchair away. The other three all ran over to Ryou and tried to stop him but he ignored them preferring to open the door.
The door opened to reveal about 30 fangirls. Giving his most innocent smile Ryou said "I ummmm…I'm sort of new to this whole…thing so would you…mind just like…letting me do it less nervously?"
The identical Awwwww's and hugs that followed made Ryou blush. One of them said "Of course, sure thing you just tell us everything when you're ready." The others all nodded and they walked away muttering about how cute he was.
Closing the door behind him he turned to the gob-smacked others before saying "Problem solved."
He went to walk away but was stopped when Bakura grabbed him and said "What the hell was that?"
Before he could answer Malik asked "How did you know how to do that?" followed by Marik saying "When the hell did you get that much confidence?"
Ryou just shrugged before saying "One of my old friends was a Yaoi fanatic; I just got use to it, learned how to get out of their prying and suffered through many a blind date."
Pulling Bakura's arms off him he headed to his room saying over his shoulder. "I'm going to go to sleep, I'll see you three tomorrow, since I'm guessing that you're trying to avoid Isis."
Continuing up the stairs he left them stunned. When he entered his room and shut the door he slid down onto the floor. "I can't believe I just did that." He whispered.
He sat there amazed and slightly nervous of his new found confidence. Slowly he went to stand up but slipped when he stood on something that wasn't his bedroom floor. Looking towards his feet he saw the magic book.
Blinking he picked it up and decided that he had might as well read it. Opening it to a random page he began to read
To Make Love Around You Blossom
Simply take two candles and burn them, one on either side of you. Then make a calm space in you mind. When your soul is peaceful chant these words:
Surrounded by an ocean of life
Left standing in my place
I wish to make their eyes open
To what they should have seen
This is my wish of love to all
As I will so mote it be
Rolling his eyes at the ridiculousness of it all he went to shut the book but stopped.
Tomorrow was Valentine's, surely more people then him wanted romance tomorrow? Looking at the clock it read 5pm. Standing up he went to his draw of assorted items and pulled out two candles and a lighter.
Sitting down he crossed his legs and lighted the candles. Doing as the book said he cleared his mind of all but the words he was supposed to repeat. It was at this moment he was glad he had photographic memory.
Closing his eyes he said the words slowly before opening his eyes once again. Looking around the room he felt oddly disappointed. Even though he hadn't been expected something to happen, it would have been nice. He was about to blow out the candles when he felt something move against his chest. Looking down his eyes widened, the Millennium ring was hanging around his neck and moving.
He was frozen with shock and slight fear. The ring had been with Bakura, why was it now on him?
As the ring started shining shadows started to shoot from it, disappearing through his walls out into the city and the rest of the house. He watched fascinated as faster and faster the shadows escaped until the entire room was dark with the shear amount of them.
Suddenly, before he could react the shadows snapped back into the ring forcing him backwards with the power. As he was thrown up against the wall he felt his eyes fall shut, the last thing he saw that night was the candles simultaneously going out.
