Chapter 7: Confrontation
"What?!" Bakura demanded, his tone incredulous.
"Just what I said. The Sennen Rod has gone missing," replied Marik.
Bakura snorted. "You have pathetic excuses for lies, Marik. The Sennen Rod has not gone missing. This is you only trying to cover up what you did!"
Marik was speechless on the other line. "What the hell did I do?" he counterclaimed.
Bakura quickly explained the 'little incident' that had taken place.
Marik was dumbfounded. "I didn't do it! Why would I do such a thing? I have nothing against you, or Ryou."
"We all know you're an evil son of a bitch, Marik," Bakura said coldly.
By this time, Marik had had enough. "Like you ought to talk, Bakura. At least I don't beat my hikari. As a matter of fact, I've never even touched him in an abusive way," Marik snarled.
Bakura gritted his teeth. "I don't abuse Ryou."
"Malik told me all about it!" Marik blurted.
Bakura's blood boiled, and his eyes narrowed to tiny slits. "Oh, he did, did he? That goes to show that Malik can't keep his big mouth shut!"
"So you're admitting it then, Bakura?!" Marik snarled.
Bakura lost it. "Get your ass over here now! I want to talk to you face to face! Bring Malik. I need to talk to the little buggar."
"I'll be right there!" Marik slammed down the phone, and Bakura did the same.
Bakura paced the kitchen, huffing. "When I see him, he's going to get it."
Just then, Ryou walked into the kitchen. His hair was still wet from the shower. He saw Bakura pacing back and forth like a tiger ready to pounce.
"Is something wrong, Bakura?" Ryou asked softly.
Bakura turned and stared at Ryou. "Marik and Malik are coming over here. We're going to have a little discussion with them."
Ryou gulped. "Don't hurt them."
"I know it was Marik who did this," Bakura said, his voice lowered dangerously.
"You don't have prove, though," said Ryou timidly.
"The little buggar just called me and said that the Sennen Rod has gone missing. It's just a goddamn excuse to cover up what he did," Bakura said fiercely.
"Maybe he's telling the truth," Ryou suggested quietly. "I just don't think Marik would do something like that. I don't think Malik would even let him think about it."
"Malik's probably in on it too," argued Bakura.
Ryou just shook his head.
Bakura sighed and sat on one of the stools. He put his head on the marble island that was located in the middle of the kitchen.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Bakura jumped up, and ran to it. Ryou followed closely behind.
Bakura pulled open the door, and glared into the angry faces of Marik and Malik.
Ryou stood back. He didn't like where this was going.
Marik was the first to speak. He stormed into the house, backing Bakura up against the wall. "How dare you accuse me of doing such a thing?! I can't believe you!"
While the two dark sides raged at each other, Malik walked over to Ryou. "I um, heard about what happened," he said.
"Yeah," Ryou replied.
Malik looked down. "I know it wasn't Marik. I was with him the whole time."
Ryou looked at Malik at smiled. "I believe you."
Malik blinked. "You do?"
"Yeah."
Malik smiled. "That makes me feel better," he laughed.
"Do you have any idea who took it?" Ryou asked.
"No," replied Malik. "It has just disappeared."
"Fuck you, Bakura!" came a shout, which startled Malik and Ryou.
Bakura was still pinned against the wall, struggling to get free. "Let me go, Marik!" he screamed.
"Stop it! Both of you!" Ryou cried. "ENOUGH!"
Marik turned and glared at Ryou. "I suppose YOU think that we did this as well?"
Malik saw the hurt in Ryou's eyes. "No, he doesn't, Marik," Malik shot at him.
Bakura saw his chance. He jumped Marik and they both fell to the ground, Bakura on top.
"Get off me, Tomb Robber, or you will pay dearly." Marik kept his voice calm and low.
Ryou and Malik both grabbed Bakura, and dragged him to his feet, holding on tightly to his arms. They didn't want to have to call an ambulance.
Bakura struggled, then finally gave up. He was panting.
Marik stood up and glared at Bakura. He gestured for Malik and Ryou to let go of him. And they did, reluctantly.
Marik walked up to Bakura and stood directly in front of him. He tilted Bakura's chin up and looked him in the eye. "Do you honestly think I'd do something like that to you?" he said quietly.
Bakura swallowed hard. "No."
A ghost of a smile flickered on Marik's lips. "Good."
Marik placed his lips upon Bakura's and gently kissed him.
Malik and Ryou watched, feeling a bit stunned.
Marik pulled away, and looked at Bakura. "We're going to find out who did this, okay?"
Bakura nodded. There was a faint tint of red on his cheeks. He extended his hand. "I'm sorry for accusing you and Malik of such a thing."
Marik took Bakura's hand and shook it. He also gave it a slight squeeze. "It's okay. I don't think you could stay mad at me long anyway." He grinned.
Malik smirked. "Alright then. Maybe Ryou and I should just leave you two alone, and go have some fun of our own."
Ryou blushed at this. "Um," was all he could say.
Bakura smirked. "I think you're a bit too shy for your own good, Ryou. It makes you look so cute."
Ryou didn't say anything, he just looked at the ground. "Why do you guys always pick on me?" he grumbled.
Malik shrugged. "It's fun. And you're so submissive. You do almost anything anyone says." There was a small twinkle in Malik's eyes.
"I do not," argued Ryou.
Bakura rolled his eyes. "Sure."
"Malik and I will totally kill the being who tried to make you drown Ryou," growled Marik.
Bakura nodded. "Thanks, Marik."
Malik looked at them all strangely. He felt his body tense up. "Marik," he gasped. "Something's happening to me."
Marik looked at Malik and his eyes widened. "Someone's trying to control him!"
"Hold on, Malik!" said Bakura. He tried to summon his shadow powers, but the magic in the room was far more powerful than his.
Malik tried to get control of himself. "Ugh," he grunted.
Ryou gasped as he saw Malik's lavender eyes turn black and void.
Malik lunged at Ryou, knocking him to the ground.
"Ryou, no!" Bakura cried as Malik pulled a knife from his pocket.
Ryou screamed, but his screaming was abrublty cut off.
