I'M SO SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO UPDATE OAO Real life sort of went "HEY TENSHI! PAY ATTENTION TO ME NAO!" and yeah...

SO. To make up for the very late update, there is lemony goodness in this chapter. Lots of it. And a bit of violence... BUT MOSTLY LEMONS. INCLUDING ONE THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. ENJOOOOOY~

M: When he finally headed back into the room after a good amount of time he grinned widely... this would be his last hour away from being pharaoh... only that small amount of time... he actually wanted to celebrate the time he still had... though he found Akefia, still sleeping, absolutely exhausted and "Ryou", half kneeling half lying at this side, trying to soothe him in his sleep.
The illusion looked upwards at its creator and blinked a bit, standing though and doing exactly what he wanted... it put off its clothes and stood at one of the couches...
He grinned and got out of his coat, walking over and sitting down on the couch, the illusion opening his pants and freeing him off his shirt, sitting down on him after that and licking his neck...
He closed his eyes... that was what he needed now...

A: Eyebrows furrowing as the soft touch left him, Akefia stirred, making a soft noise of discontent as he subconsiously searched for the missing warmth. Not finding it, he began to stir, making soft noises every now and then as his movement disturbed his back.

M: Chuckling, Mariku observed the other tanned male, the illusion busy with kissing and licking at his skin, rubbing their bodies together and kissing him after a moment, before it sat between his legs, licking at the tip of his member and nibbling at it softly, which made Mariku sigh in satisfaction...
His hand slipped into the soft locks and he pulled the head closer, the illusion opening its mouth and obediently taking his slowly building erection in...

A: He was slowly beginning to wake, fighting his way into consciousness, a heavy feeling of exhaustion still laying thick over him. He couldn't even muster the strength to open his eyes yet... he was still so tired... but something told him he needed to be awake...

M: Mariku moved his finger through the white locks still, starting to pant with the illusion moving between his legs and looked over at Akefia with heavy eyes, grinning, as he noticed the other one would wake up soon.
A low pant of "Ryou", who apparently enjoyed immensely what he did, gave him a satisfying chill and made him purr.

A: He could hear noises... what was Mariku doing...? Groaning in pain as he rolled over, hissing when he put pressure on his bandaged back. Curling up, he kept his eyes clenched firmly shut as he waited for the worst of the pain to pass, cursing inaudibly.

M: After some moments, he took "Ryou" up into his lap again, the other one looking at him with hazed brown eyes, tilting his chin up with one finger, making the smaller one lean in and kiss him again, enjoying the flavor of himself on that smooth and sweet lips... Maybe he should have kept the host... he was a true beauty... pale hands stroke his skin while the owner still kissed him delighted and he took the other one up a bit, letting him down on his erection, pushing into him, leaving "Ryou" behind moaning against his skin...

A: Finally managing to find the strength to open his eyes, he was greeted with a sight that made him sick with jealousy and hatred. Ryou -the illusion of Ryou, he reminded himself- was being slowly impaled on Mariku's erection, moaning wantonly. Sitting up with a growl, he fell back down again as pain shot through him, making him choke back a gasp of pain. It's just an illusion, he ressured himself. It's not the real thing...

But he couldn't help feeling like punching the fuck out of Mariku for even touching that Ryou, even if it wasn't the real thing...

M: "Calm down~" Mariku smirked, before he was kissed by the illusion again, moaning a bit, while the illusion did the same. "Even though he's sweet~", he licked "Ryou's" cheek and left the smaller one shivering "...you don't have to be jealous, hm?" He looked at Akefia, the illusion lowering its head and nibbling at Mariku's neck while moving on top his errection, making them both moan out.
"Hnn~ It's only an illusion~ ... or isn't it?" He smirked and lay his arms around the delicate waist, pressing it down on him to greet "Ryou's" loud and desperate moan with a wide grin.

A: Oh Ra... he didn't want to watch this, even if he knew it was only a copy of the real Ryou. It was still painful to watch... like that small moment when the spirit was taking Ryou, and Ryou seemed to be enjoying it... only this was worse because the illusion really was enjoying it, because Mariku wanted it to... He wanted to tear his eyes away, but something compelled him to watch, and he couldn't look away, even as the jealousy burned in his gut.

M: He looked at Akefia and chuckled again, lying the head against "Ryou's" shoulder, while he pushed upwards into him, leaving "Ryou" blushing and moaning in desire.
"Is it that terrible... I could change it, you know... I guess you don't want to watch your precious kitten in so much pleasure with me..." He grins widely, suddenly the shape of the illusion blurred a bit.
"Shall I change it?"

A: His eyes widened as he watched the illusion blurr and change. Just what was Mariku doing...? What the hell could be worse than watching Ryou be taken by one of the people he hated most?

M: Mariku grinned widely, the skin grew tanned and the white hairs shorter until...
"Maybe it's better to see yourself~? You seem to be willing to take everything for the little kitten..." And he pushed up again, only to have pale purple eyes flicker and a face grin down to him, long scar on the right cheek shimmering, before the other one leaned down, biting his shoulder a bit, leaving him behind grinning SO hard~

A: Oh gods... this was worse...

To see himself being fucked by Mariku... loving it... made him want want to throw up. Because he knew that he would never want to do that with Mariku, and to see it... fuck... made him shudder with disgust. But... it was still better then having to watch Ryou go through this. That thought comforted him, but it didn't wash away the dirty feeling he got from watching Mariku with the illusion of himself.

M: "So~" Mariku's voice sounded lazily between "Akefia's" moans and the sounds of meeting flesh and damp, sweating skin.
"What should it be~" He grinned widely, squeezing the other ones buttcheeks, licking over his chest and coaxing a long moan out of the other ones throat.

A: Swallowing a few times to wet his throat, Akefia met lazy purple eyes and glared.
"I'd like it better if you weren't fucking either of us you bastard" he said roughly, trying to not to hear himself groaning or the slapping of skin, but failing.

M: "But I don't~!" Mariku pouted and had "Akefia" moaning in his ear once more, before the illusion changed into "Ryou" again, clinging to the tanned skin, looking desperate and so desireable.
"Hm~ fine... in that case... I'll make it, so the both of us have fun, yes?" He looked down over to Akefia's abdomen and smirked. "I'm sure we'll manage that~" And with those words he pushed himself up into "Ryou" again, having the smaller one throwing his head back in desire and moan out loud, leaving the spot open for Mariku, who started to cover the smaller ones neck with kisses, small bites and moans, leaving the white haired beauty behind moaning and wiggling, only mewling more with his body shivering in delight

A: He couldn't watch this anymore... Clenching his eyes shut, Akefia was assaulted by the sounds of "Ryou" moaning and panting. Fuck... those noises always got to him... Biting his lip, he tried not to flash back to what he had done with the illusion, when he had made the illusion made those noises... but he failed miserably. Dammit he was just doing what Mariku wanted! Gritting his teeth, he tried to stop the desire that those noises made... but he felt himself beginning to get aroused against his will... Fuck...

M: Recognizing how it got to Akefia, he started to touch "Ryou" more, push him down into his thrusts, to make him even hotter, moaning louder, giving his illusion even more pleasure, so Akefia would probably have problems to hide the arousal he felt.
"Hnnn~" He moaned... oh gods... it couldn't be that he was so close already, the illusion took him at the back of his neck and pulled his body nearer, lying the other hand at his back and creating more friction at both their skins, moaning desperately into his ear, enjoying the moment so much~

A: Fuck... Mariku had to know, to make the illusion moan wantonly suddenly... But he couldn't deny how hot the noises were and he curled up even more to hide his growing erection, cursing his body for reacting like this. Dammit he wasn't meant to find the noises that an illusion made while be fucked by someone else sexy... but he couldn't block them out, not having enough strength to block his ears with his hands... Gritting his teeth, he tried to think of something else... anything else...

M: Mariku chuckled and the illusion and him sped the pacing, both moaning with the slowly increasing ecstasy.
"More~" The soft voice of the illusion whispered, the voice hoarse with lust and want. "More, please~" And with a moan on its lips, it burried its face into Mariku's shoulder as he granted the wish with fastening the pace and pounding deep into the other one, biting its neck in arousal.

A: His eyes opened against his will and he fought back a groan as his mind replaced Mariku's face with his own. Fuck... his mind betrayed him... Swallowing a moan as he grew harder, he hated every sound, yet loved them at the same time. Oh gods... he was so sick...

M: "Ryou" shivered on top of him, the moans growing louder with every second, and they were both close to finish... the violet eyes wandered to Akefia once more... seeing the pleasure about what happened just now and so he decided it was enough... he had what he wanted, thrusting a few more times into the smaller ones delicate body, pinching his nipple and biting his neck, he made him come hard at the same moment Mariku himself did, both moaning out equally loud and twitching with the orgasm...

A: Clenching his eyes shut, he could have sworn there was a hot hand around his erection, teasing and stroking, bringing him close within moments... but when he forced himself to look down, there was nothing there... And suddenly that didn't matter anymore as he was cumming hard all over himself, gasping and trying to hide the moans...

Soon enough he lay panting on the bed, gasping and twitching in the aftermath of his orgasm, staring at Mariku and the illusion, his gaze hazy.

M: "Ryou" leaned against Mariku's shoulder by now, face hidden and body moving a bit, with the pants, that shook his exhausted body, Mariku, leaning back into the couch, looking satisfied and rolled his head a bit to mirror a lusty gaze towards Akefia, seeing the pleasure in his eyes.
He sighed satisfied and reached for his rod, that still was in his belt, the illusion lying its arms around him, as he uncovered the blade licking along it with the long tongue."Very well, little one~ you did very well..." And then, in the blink of an eye, the blade met the other ones back directly between his shoulder blades, making him scream in pain and spit out blood all over Mariku's shoulder, twitching in agony like an insect, that was tortured by a mean child.

A: "NO-!"

Why-? Why the hell would Mariku DO that? His eyes widened as he watched in horror, trying to sit up and get to the illusion, but his back sent fire throughout his body, making him fall back onto the bed, feeling sick. Fuck... It wasn't Ryou, it wasn't Ryou... he kept telling himself that but the blood staining the pale skin made him feel sick. Fuck... why?

M: Mariku took the other ones hair and leaned his head back to kiss the blood stained lips, the white haired one looking as if he'd black out any second, still bleeding hard, while Mariku moaned softly into his mouth...
"Farewell, Ryou~" He smirked and the rod found it's way to pierce the pale ones heart and make the illusions eyes grow wide, and "die" in that exact moment, on top of Mariku, losing sickening amounts of warm and terrible blood.

A: Staring at the unmoving illusion in horror, he felt bile creeping up his throat. No matter how many times he told himself it wasn't really Ryou... it still -felt- real to him and oh gods... he couldn't look away... His hatred for Mariku grew, and he glared at Mariku, hating that smirk, wanting to wipe it off his face...

M: His look traveled from the dead illusion in his arms to Akefia, who watched him with utter horror, a smirk created on his blood stained face was contorting with a cruel grin, as the smaller one just poofs into thin air, though leaving the blood on Mariku's body as if he really just slaughtered a living creature.
"Why that hateful gaze?" He asked, his violet, cruel, empty eyes gazing deep into the other ones pale purple, while he started to giggle a bit.

A: "You didn't have to fucking do that" he growled, his back paining him as he tried to move again, with the intention of punching Mariku. Hissing with pain, he stopped moving, but continued glaring. "Why in the -hells- did you do that?"

M: Mariku smirked. "Because it was no living thing~ little thief." He smiled a creepy, wide smile. "It was an illusion, a thing without body and soul~ something that had no substance~ ... created in a soulroom without any life~ ... is that enough reasons? I can erase My illusions every way I like~."

A: Gritting his teeth, he bit back a sharp retort, knowing it would do him no good to argue with this mad man. Fuck... he hated this... he couldn't even fucking move at the moment, let alone be able to fight with Mariku... He hated Mariku so much... He glared at the blood splattered on Mariku's chest and fought back a growl.

M: "Defeated so easily in the end? Or did I hurt you so hard~?" He mocked, his cruel eyes piercing into Akefia's menacingly. "Don't you think I'm done with you, thief..." He licked the blood off of the rod, staring down at him, the hard gaze burning hatefully into the thiefs eyes. "Every second for you in here will stay a living nightmare... even though I have to leave you now~ Every moment will be like a come-to-reality death for your soul..." He giggled madly.

A: That giggle sent a shudder down his spine and he couldn't tear his eyes away from the blood. Gods... he was never going to survive this was he? Not whole at least... he would be lucky to survive with even a thread of sanity... Fuck... that's if he survived at all... Was it wrong that he feared so much for himself right now? Gods he felt so damn selfish right now but he couldn't help it. He was fucking terrifed for himself.

M: Mariku grinned widely, his violet empty eyes piercing into the other ones, the madness inside of them clearly to see. "You'll stay here and be a nice and quiet pet until I return~ won't you?" He grinned and stiffled the mad giggle that wanted to flee his mouth again.
"Because if you are not... It could happen that you lose your tongue next~" He giggled again and turned around, heading for the door...
"We'll have lots of fun~... Reaching for the handle, he pushed the door open and let the fire go out, leaving Akefia in complete darkness.
"Lots~ of it~..."

A: Choking back a cry as the fire went out, he stared around wildly trying not to notice the screaming as it began. Fuck fuck fuck, he couldn't cope with this, not right now... casting a desperate look at Mariku, he swallowed the tattered remains of his pride.

"Don't leave me in the dark...please..." he said, his voice already weakened by fear and fatigue. He hated having to reduce himself to begging, but... he had no choice, did he? He knew he wouldn't last in the darkness. Not without losing his sanity.

M: He grinned at the thief behind him, finally begging out of free will for the compassion, Mariku's attitude did totally lack.
"You know... that nothing is for free in this world~" He grinned even wider. "So~ If you want the light, you have to pay a price for it~ Let's say you owe me a favor~" Mariku grinned over his shoulder, leering at his body, as if he wanted to indicate what EXACTLY the favor would surely be, before the fire grew out of the wood again, leaving Mariku laughing madly and FINALLY leaving the room.

A: Sighing as the light returned, he repressed a shudder at the leer. He knew exactly what Mariku would want in return for the light, and he dreaded the other's return. Flinching as the door slammed shut, he stared straight ahead at the wall, just... waiting. He knew he wouldn't be able to fight Mariku off. Mariku had already proved that. So all he could do was grit his teeth and bare it... right? What other option did he have? It's not like he could -move- at that moment...

B: The soulroom stayed like that... to wait the return out must have been like an eternity..
Though suddenly die fire died out and the room seemed to melt away, it just vanished into nothingness... There seemed to be a ground around Akefia, and also some room, but it was pitch black and there seemed to be nothingness... manifastated nothingness...
After a small amount of time the room got a bit lighter again, as if it was twilight hour... the light seemed to increase, until... there was the creeking of a door...

A: As soon as the light vanished he looked around blindly in panic. Why the hell had the fire vanished? Mariku had fucking promised... The screaming started again, a dull roar in his head as he curled up even tighter, trying to block the noise without success. Nonononononono he couldn't do this, he couldn't cope with the screams much longer. He didn't notice he was no longer laying on a rough bed, nor that the room changed... but he did vaguely notice that it got a bit lighter and that drove off the voices somewhat... And suddenly the door began to creak open. Looking up with dread, he expected Mariku to come waltzing in through the door, a leer on his face...

B: Though it was somebody entirely else.
White hair lying on the spirits shoulder like ever, his russet eyes glaring into the room, he seemed to be a bit pissed... though Akefia couldn't know why... His gaze then set on the tanned male and he just stared at him for a few moments, how he lay there on the ground, naked, bleeding, staring up with a partly hopeless expression... Seemed like he had to digest the picture, before he cleared his throat and a fire lighted up at the other ones side

A: Looking at the spirit in disbelief, Akefia couldn't believe it. Hadn't Mariku sent him and Ryou to the Shadow Realm? He had boasted about it enough... Then the fire appeared next to him and he stared at it hungrily, the voices dying down to a whisper before vanishing for now... A shudder passed over him as the warmth of the fire washed over him, making him realize just how cold he was. Glancing up at the spirit, he felt the confusion again, before realizing...

"You're not real, are you. Just another illusion" he muttered hoarsely, looking away. Mariku must have sent an illusion... to make sure he was being "good".

B: The spirit kept looking at him for another few moments, before he snorted. "Heh~ I see... you REALLY met that psycho... wow... it's a wonder you're still alive." He looked at the back of the other one, face falling in surprise for a moment.
"..." He got over to the thief on the ground, staring at him, as he rounded him and loosened the bandages, his eyes widening a bit, when he saw WHAT exactly was under there, his face contorting in disgust.

A: Hissing in pain as his wounds were exposed, he could feel the blood running down his back, stinging the open cuts. Clenching his eyes shut, he wished he had the strength to rebandage himself before he passed out, before fuck... even loosening the bandages made his back hurt almost as badly as it did just after he woke up just after it happened...

"Are you done looking?" he hissed some moments later. The pain was really starting to effect him and he was feeling weaker then ever. And he hated being under such scrutiny from someone that made him want to punch someone.

B: The spirit stared at the wounds a few moments longer and ended the thoughts he had with a hissed and really angry. "Yesss~" Before he ripped the whole thing off and stared on Akefia's back in rage. "How dare he~ ..." His voice grew dark with hate and anger. "How DARE he?!" The spirit clenched his hands, hissing in disgust again and growling, lying something like herbs on Akefia's back - where did they even come from? - and bandaged the thing again, trying not to make Akefia suffer to much.
"They'll make the place go numb." He said bluntly. "So you won't feel the hard pain anymore."

A: A strangled cry was torn from his throat when the spirit tore his bandages off, before doing -something- that dulled the pain to a bareable level. Breathing harshly as the spirit rebandaged him, he waited until the spirit moved away from him before stiffly pushing himself upright, bringing his knees up and covering himself.

"Thanks... I think" he muttered, staring at the fire, trying not to remember the dead look in the illusions eyes as it bled heavily from the back... Shuddering, he closed his eyes briefly.

B: The spirit stared at him and took the shenti up, throwing it right on his lap. "Better you get clean and dressed." He just said and it was obvious... he... wanted to say something else, his face strangely contorted in an emotion, that he tried to hold as unreadable as possible as he looked over to the fire also...
Was that... pity? Compassion? Regret?... the light played over the other ones face and made him look uncomfortable... he apparently had NO idea how to handle this situation.

A: Avoiding the gaze of the spirit, he looked around, looking for something to clean himself off with and finding nothing. He didn't know how this soulroom thing worked... Standing up unsteadily, he pulled his shenti on, wincing slightly before sitting back down. He really had no idea how to interact with the spirit... the only person he had ever really had prolonged contact was Ryou... and the last time he had seen Bakura, he had broken two of his ribs, split his head open and raped Ryou... So he really didn't know how to act right now...

B: "This is no illusion." The spirit said after a while of silence, back turned to Akefia.
"Mariku was banned into the dark realm. Looks like the blasted king for once did something good." The white haired spirit frowned and looked back over his shoulder to Akefia. "Can you remember what happened before Mariku invaded the ring? Apparently you remember me. Can you remember Ryou also?"

A: He looked at the spirit sharply, his eyebrows furrowing. Why would he even ask..?

"Of course I do... why the hell wouldn't I?" He frowned, his forehead creasing. He got that it wasn't an illusion now... Mariku would have wanted him to suffer with the wounds, he knew that and he would have never sent an illusion to soothe them like that. He scowled slightly, not understanding why the spirit was even asking. "You barged in while I was bathing, and saw fit to put Ryou in danger before scratching my neck open."

B: The spirit looked back at him and smirked. "I'm glad." He said, eyes closing a moment with the slight smirk, and suddenly it was clear why the spirit didn't hold as much power as Mariku... there were limits... and the spirit knew that... and one limit was the health of ANY entity bound to the ring. He wasn't as cruel as Mariku had been... though it didn't make him much better. The russet eyes opened after a moment and looked at him again. "I need you sane." Was the cryptic answer, the spirit gave him, before he turned to the door again, apparently waiting for something.
"And I cannot heal your wounds... Ryou has to do that later... after the both of you had your lovey-dovey reunion moment~" He snorted a bit, though it seemed he wanted to give Akefia the information Ryou was alright... in... his kind of way.

A: "... So Ryou is alright" Akefia said quietly, relief washing over him. He had been so worried... Sighing quietly, he watched the fire and allowed a soft smile to cross his features. He just hoped Ryou wouldn't fuss too much... although it was cute... He so wanted to gather the -real- Ryou into his arms and hold him close, see that embarrassed blush on his cheeks as Akefia kissed him again... He just wanted Ryou with him right now... Not an illusion...

B: The spirit observed Akefia's behavior from over his shoulder, russet eyes a bit darkened as he wore a serious expression now and closed with a building smirk again, while he turned his head away, folding his arms.
"You'll suffer, thief~" the spirit whispered and slowly faded into nothingness, cruel gaze traveling over Akefia once more.
"You'll suffer... with those limits... and landlord will to~"
And then he was gone and with a loud bang the door was thrown open, the furniture and white fluffy carpet in place again, while Ryou stood in the door, gaze meeting Akefia, as he squealed and ran over to him, embracing him in a clingy manner, shuddering with the sobs he tried to stifle. "You're still here~ ..." He sniffed.

A: He didn't have any time to wonder what the spirit meant before the door slammed open and the room changed... into the familiar light room that he loved. And suddenly his arms were full of sobbing Ryou. Smiling softly, he wrapped his arms around the pale teen, drawing him close and noticing with a flush of affection that Ryou still had his coat wrapped tightly around him.

"Shh... I'm still here Ryou" he murmured softly, trying not to wince as a low throb of pain echoed up his back in response to Ryou's tight hug. But... he couldn't bring himself to care about any pain because it was Ryou and he was here, like he had been wanting ever since he had woken up in an empty room and came face to face with Mariku.

R: "I'm so happy! I'm so happy, that you're still in here!" The smaller one of them sobbed, not able to hold the tears back now, it felt like his chest would burst open with relief and happiness in a few seconds and he snaked his arms around Akefia's neck, clinging to him, not caring about anything else anymore.
"Akefia~" He sniffed again and buried his face in the other ones white hair.

A: It was so good to be able to hold the real Ryou close again... Sighing deeply, he felt so light inside... It felt so good just to be the pale teen again... Pressing a soft kiss to Ryou's soft damp cheek, he pulled Ryou as close as he could, holding on as much he could while murmuring soft words into Ryou's ear, trying to calm the teen

R: Eventually Ryou grew calmer, his absolute happiness and relief still deep in his chest, though the emotional reaction being soothed, by holding and feeling the real Akefia in his arms again...
It was incredibly wonderful... His eyes slowly opened, when he recognized, that his fingers weren't touching the other ones skin and he found bandages. "Oh no!" He said softly, gaze growing worried. "You're hurt!" He looked up unbearable cute with his shame and worry and also the want to just make it get away, all clear on his face, still the tears were visible on the lightly flushed cheeks.

A: "I'm fine for now. Don't worry about it" Akefia said quietly, his hand cupping Ryou's cheek, the thumb circling slowly, wiping away the tears. He wanted... to taste... Leaning forward he pressed a gentle kiss to Ryou's pale lips, questioningly soft, wanting to affirm that Ryou was here and he was real and Akefia wasn't just dreaming this...

R: Ryou looked up at him doubting what he said, until he felt that lips again and he had to close his eyes... this was heaven... indeed... He sighed into the kiss and leaned into it also, the wounds the other one had bandaged forgotten for now, his arms stroking upwards the chest and he sighed happily.

A: Their lips moved in slow tandem and it felt heavenly... and Akefia finally got to taste the real Ryou again... It was a sweet taste that he couldn't describe, but he felt like he would know it anywhere now as just "Ryou's taste". Moaning softly, he deepened the kiss, wanting to lose himself in Ryou, wanting to never away from him again...

R: Ryou blushed madly, feeling the other one or better just to smell his scent, his body warmth and the softness around him, together with the knowledge that somebody loved him and cared for him, made him nearly cry again in silent comfort and happiness.
To have Akefia here with him felt wonderful, he enjoyed it so much!

A: Pulling away from the kiss with a gasp, he rested his forehead against Ryou's still holding his face in his hands. "Promise that you'll never leave me again. Promise that you're real and I'm not just dreaming this" he murmured desperately, knowing that Ryou could only fulfill one of those promises. He just... needed to hear it, because he missed Ryou so much... the illusions... they lacked the genuine sweetness and innocence of the real thing... it just wasn't the same...

"And... promise you will -never- call me Akefia-sama" he whispered, staring deep into chocolate eyes

R: The white haired one looked at Akefia and blinked, before he blushed hard. "Why~... why would I call you Master?" It was such a cute startled face, that Ryou nearly forgot to answer the other questions, he blinked and shook his head... "Uhn... I'm... myself... don't you worry... and I'm real... really!" He said firmly and blinked upwards, not really be able to follow his own thoughts at the moment, still startled and buggered because of the "Akefia-sama". His expression grew softer again though.

A: Noticing the look of confusion on Ryou face, he grimaced inwardly. Dammit... Pressing another kiss to those pale lips, he sighed, letting his eyes slide half closed.

"Don't ask... please.." he said quietly, threading his fingers into Ryou's hair. He didn't want to have to tell Ryou what had happened... it was just... Ryou didn't need to hear it. Ever... if Akefia could help it...

R: Ryou blinked a bit, apparently worried. "I-if you say so~..." He blushes then, still looking a bit worried though, rubbing his hands together, with a strangely comfortable feeling in his chest..
"Hm~... I missed you..." He says as if he confesses that to himself also, as if he just discovered it.

A: Smiling softly at Ryou's words, he felt a warm feeling in his chest that had nothing to do with any sort of pain. "I missed you too.. You have no idea how much..." he murmured quietly, a pained look flashing over his face before it was gone.

R: Ryou saw that look for a second, before a sigh elicited from his lips as he leaned forward against the other one...
"I... had to think about our kiss..." Ryou whispered and blushed a bit. "It was... holding my head up... there." He blushed even more.

A: "I'm glad" Akefia murmured, running a unsteady hand through Ryou's fine white hair. He still was convinced in some small part of his mind that this wasn't real, that it was just another illusion, but he ignored that part in favor of just... being near Ryou, because this had to be real. Had to be.

R: He looked upwards at Akefia, giving him a smile.
"Are you in pain though, Akefia? Is it hurting you much?" The worry was openly displayed on his face as he looked the other one over. "You should probably lie down and relax a bit... it looks like you had a tough time."

A: "... Yeah maybe I should rest a bit" he said, realizing that he was still so damn tired... last time he had slept was just a pain filled, exhausted slumber that didn't last long enough. He smiled softly at Ryou before placing a steadying hand on the wall and slowly pulling himself upright, not quite feeling the pain in his back, but a dull throb that he knew wouldn't last long. Taking a shaky breath, he began to walk slowly towards to bed, still feeling the stiffness and aching in his limbs as he walked.

R: Ryou looked at him worriedly and just got up as if it was something absolutely natural and took an arm around the other one, helping him to get over to the bed again, supporting him with every step...
It nearly felt like the moment when they just met the first time...

A: "Heh... this feels familiar" muttered Akefia, a lopsided grin appearing on his face as he looked down at Ryou. Except... last time he had been distrusting of that beautiful smile, and all that was wrong was exhaustion. Sighing heavily, he wondered how he had ever distrusted Ryou when he was the most gentle soul Akefia had ever met. Reaching the bed finally, he sat down with a slight wince. Maybe whatever the spirit had done was wearing off.. he hoped not...

R: Ryou looked at the other male worried, the whole way they walked until they finally reached the bed and the younger one helped him to sit down.
"Are you sure I shouldn't... do something?" He left out what exactly he even COULD do and looked at the tanned man unhappily.

A: Biting his lip, he considered a few things... He knew he couldn't tell Ryou about his back yet... Ryou would freak and fuss over him, and he didn't want to worry Ryou about that. Suddenly something struck him and he smiled softly at Ryou.

"Can you... sit on the bed? Near the pillows?" he asked, biting the inside of his lip.

R: Ryou blinked. "Of course, Akefia!" He replied, a bit confused, getting out of his shoes and crawling onto the bed himself now, sitting at one pillow, leaning it against the headboard to support his back. "Like that?"

A: "Yeah..." he said, before crawling up the bed and resting his head on Ryou's lap, sighing softly. This was what he wanted... Placing a hand on Ryou's leg, he idly played with the fabric, waiting for his exhaustion to catch up with him.

R: Ryou blushed a bit, having Akefia so close and in such a position, when the hand started to feel and move the fabric of his pants he could only blush even deeper and more helplessly, though he never said a word to stop Akefia from his doings. Whether he liked it, or he is just too worried, to sound up his unease... nobody knew.. after a while though his hand lowered on Akefia's head and started to pet it a bit and comb through the soft white hair... he sighed lowly and leaned back a bit, a small smile on his lips.

A: "Hmm..."

His eyes began to slide closed as Ryou began to stroke his hair, a small smile appearing on his face. It felt so soothing to have Ryou do that... Making a soft contented noise, letting his eyes close and he drifted into sleep, his hand still resting on Ryou's leg.

R: Ryou's eyes lay on the other male, sleeping on his lap by now. His face was still contorted in worry and he sighed softly once, his hand burying even deeper into the white mane.
Slowly he craned his neck a bit, to have a look on the bandages. They seemed to be relatively fresh, though the shadow of blood beneath them made him just worry more... so Akefia was bleeding... and not too less, that was sure... the thing around his torso was also strangely dissolved, it seemed there was something else but just skin beneath it...
Ryou frowned and sat back again, closing his own eyes and cuddling into the warm red cloak...
It didn't matter now... he had to soothe his soul from the dark realm... as Akefia he should probably... just sleep... and let it go for now... in the back of his head a soft voice began to hum a lullaby, he thought was long forgotten, while his head sank on his shoulder slowly, and his eyes closed, the hand in the other ones hair moving a few moments, before it grew relaxed and limp...

A: A low persisant ache jerked him out of sleep, and he groaned as he drifted in and out of consciousness for awhile before he found the energy to open his eyes. Sliding them open, he lifted his head slightly to find that Ryou had fallen asleep as well, and at sometime during their rest, Ryou had slid down until he was slumped on the bed, and Akefia has ended up resting his head on Ryou's chest. Sighing, he dropped his head back onto Ryou's chest before hissing as pain shot up his back. Dammit... whatever the spirit had done must have been wearing off... Gritting his teeth, he draped an arm around the pale teen's waist and waited for the pain to pass. He didn't want to wake Ryou when the other looked so damn peaceful...

R: Ryou stirred though, the comfort in his body movements displayed completely, as he snuggled to the warmth and into the red article of clothing, that he still wore, sighing softly, while his hands lay down on Akefia's head and shoulder, turning a bit to the side and a soft humming sound is heard from the depths of sleep, a long comfortable breath, before also his legs are shifting a bit, snuggling nearer to Akefia, tangling with his hip and thigh, apparently though, the other one is nearly awake for his expression slowly moves into a frown, eyes fluttering a bit.

A: A soft smile appeared on Akefia's face as Ryou tangled their legs together and he began to fiddle with the hem of the shirt the other wore, still feeling the pain but being too comfortable to care. Letting his eyes drift half close, he watched the soft rise and fall of Ryou's chest with a sense of peacefulness he had never really known before. He was sticky with fluids he would rather not think about, he was in pain, and he knew that it couldn't last but at this moment... he just didn't care.

R: Ryou stirred a bit more and opened his eyes slowly, a bit of sunlight shining into the room, from wherever it came from... both of them wouldn't know exactly and the white haired one blinked and smiled at Akefia in a loving manner.
"I'm... sorry..." He mumbled, stretching a bit, much like a tired cat. "I~ ... apparently dozed off..." He lay down again and smiled at Akefia still, then blushing furiously.

A: "Hmm... I don't mind" mumbled Akefia, still playing with the hemline of Ryou's shirt. He felt.. hazy in a good way, and he really didn't feel inclined to move right now, but a sharp wave a pain hit him and he stiffened and gritted his teeth in an effort to stop himself from crying out in pain. It really was wearing off... and faster than he had hoped. He just hoped Ryou hadn't noticed anything. He just wanted to relax a little longer...

R: He of course had felt the other one twitching with the pain, and he looked down on him, worried again. "Who put the bandages on?" Ryou asked after a moment. "If you don't want to tell me why... then who put them on?"

A: Akefia froze for a moment. He wasn't sure if he should tell Ryou that... but it was a lesser of some events right? Even if it was unbelievable...

"... Believe it or not.. it was Bakura..." he muttered, his body tensing for a moment before he continued. "He... literally tore my old bandages off and put these ones on me..."

R: "B-..." He blinked a bit. His expression changed between disbelieve, horror and utter astonishment. "The spirit?!" He ended, his mouth agape. "No... what... really? I-" He blinked again. "What did he put under there?" His face seemed to be worried, who knows, maybe it was poisonous?! Ryou shivered.

A: "I... I don't know but it dulled the pain... but I think it's wearing off..." Akefia replied, gritting his teeth as another wave of pain washed over him. Damn... it was getting worse and there was no way he could treat this kind of wound by himself... But he didn't want Ryou to see it... Fuck he really didn't have a choice did he?

R: "I... I don't know what the spirit used... but I have some things I can maybe try!" He wiggled out a bit and reached for the nightstand drawer, opening it and taking out a jar with... strange white small round objects in it. "These should help!" Ryou declared and took two of the objects out, giving them Akefia in the hand and reaching for a glass of water, that just poofed out of the nothingness on the nightstand. "They are soothing headaches and all sorts of pain... but I should change the bandages and put... whatever... HE~ ... put in there... out." The "he" was intonated, as if Ryou just didn't even want to use a word as 'spirit' for the other entity in the ring now.

A: Sitting up slowly, Akefia eyed the small white... things that Ryou placed on his palm. What...? He didn't even know what these were, let alone what he was meant to do with them... Giving Ryou a quizzical look, he raised his eyebrow in the silent question.

R: "Ehm... those are painkillers... though I don't know if they help... normally you gulp them down with a bit of water..." He blushed furiously, having no idea what to do exactly. "I... I don't know how to handle... pain from wounds..." His head hangs down... "But If you want I ask the spirit for it..." Ryou said, looking Akefia in the eye.

A: He really didn't Ryou anywhere near the spirit. At all. Taking the cup of water from Ryou, he placed the "painkillers" in his mouth, he grimaced at the taste before quickly drinking the water, choking a bit in the process. Glancing at Ryou, he placed the now empty cup on the bedside table.

"Lets try it your way first, okay?" he said, trying to smile as he remembered the pain from before the spirit had found him.

R: Ryou frowned and nodded. Of course he was a bit afraid to go to the spirit and beg something from him... take out he didn't like to ask the spirit for whatever. He smiled encouraging to Akefia though and leaned in, to softly kiss the tip of his nose and blushed deeply. "Hm~ alright..."

A: Sighing inaudibly, he pressed a light kiss to Ryou's forehead before turning so his back was facing Ryou and he braced himself... He knew Ryou wasn't going to like what he saw and he just hoped Ryou couldn't read what had been carved there. He personally couldn't read it if he could see it but... he knew what it said, due to Mariku's taunts...

R: Ryou frowned a bit and swallowed, with the look on Akefia's face it was bad... He slowly started to take the bandages off of the other ones body, thinking about what he could find and bracing himself.
But nothing could have been able to prepare him for that sight...
He sucked in a deep trembling breath and slapped his hand over his mouth to not scream out, his eyes were widened and his hand was trembling.
"Oh my god..." He whispered into his hand. "Oh my-"

A: Gritting his teeth, Akefia hissed in pain as the wounds were revealed, and he clenched his eyes shut at Ryou's reaction. Fuck... he should have known that Ryou would react like this.

"It's nothing Ryou" he said shortly through gritted teeth. He didn't mean to be short but the air was making the wounds sting terribly and he was trying not to move so he didn't aggravate them even more.

R: Actually Ryou didn't even dare to touch the wounds... it had to be extremely painful!
He got over to a cupboard, taking out a fresh napkin, pushed Akefia down on the bed and covered the wounds with the piece of cloth he just fetched.
"You wait here, while I go over to the spirit and ask him for the herbs he had." Ryou said, voice lacking the normal softness, but was more demanding, as if he wouldn't tolerate any argument.

A: He didn't want Ryou going anywhere near the spirit and he opened his mouth to protest until he spotted the half scared, half determined look on Ryou's face. Then he remembered, that Ryou had dealt with the spirit for years... he knew what he was doing... right?

"Be careful okay? Don't let him fucking touch you" he said quietly, clenching the sheets tightly in his hands. He wouldn't be able to protect Ryou if anything went wrong when he was in this state and he didn't like that Ryou was walking right into the danger zone for -him-.

R: Ryou seemed to be steadfastly and he looked at Akefia, smiling. "Don't worry about me, Akefia." He smiled widely. "It will be a thing of a few seconds! Just keep calm... I'll be right at your side again." He still smiled when he got up and gave the other ones scarred cheek a soft kiss, before he turned around and got over to the door, giving the other one a smile over his shoulder, Ryou left the room, and as soon as the door was closed his smile changed into a fearful glance, though he took a deep breath and got over to the spirits door, bracing himself... before he lifted his hand to knock.

B: Opening the door, Bakura leaned on the doorframe with a slight smirk as he looked down at Ryou, whom had a frightened look on his face. Really, he had been expecting this, but not so soon.

"A visit, Landlord? To what do I owe -this- pleasure?" he said, a smug hint to his voice as he raised his eyebrow.

R: Ryou was silent for one more second, then he swallowed and looked up into the other ones russet eyes, scraping all of his courage together.
"I... I need your help." The smaller one clutched his fingers in front of his lap. "The... effect of whatever herbs you used is wearing off... and ... I wanted to ask you for them." Ryou was able to keep the look into the spirit eyes, even though something fearful slowly started to fill his stomach.

B: "Oh you need help Landlord?" he purred lowly, his smirk widening. Oh this was delicious... "You should know that my help is -never- free. You want the herbs, you have to do something for me~"

His smirk widened as he watched Ryou's face carefully. He knew what he wanted Ryou to do... but he wanted to see Landlord realize it.

R: The smaller one looked up still and had the feeling his chest would tighten to a maximum.
"I thought so." He said quietly. "What is it you want?" Ryou's finger's clenched together tighter... of course he was afraid what the spirit would say... but Akefia was more important... much more... he'd endure the most things for the other one... even if that meant to hurt himself in the process...

B: "Heh... come in and you'll see" Bakura said huskily, his smirk getting bigger as he turned and went into his room, the shadows parting as he walked forward, revealing an unexpectedly clean room, with deep red walls that were covered in various bloodied swords and daggers and furniture that consisted of a luxuriously big king sized bed, a comfortable looking wine red sofa that sat next to a darkly stained wooden bookcase that was full of titles that would make most people's stomachs turn. And there seemed to be a dull glow over everything that seemed to come from everywhere, lending the room a gloomy look.

R: Ryou blinked a bit and despite of the fear stepped in slowly and curiously... take out the blood it was a beautiful room... even though the gloom seemed to smother him... he needed lightful rooms... His eyes stuck with the bloody weapons and he shivered... oh god... what would the spirit want from him...
He took a trembling sigh and halted near the door... at least he was able to see the whole room now... and even though he wouldn't use the opportunity, it felt good to have the door open and right behind him.

B: Settling down comfortably on the couch, he watched Ryou hover near the door, a scared but curious look on his face. "Oh don't be frightened Landlord... I won't bite. This time." he said, a hint of a condescending tone in his voice. He gestured to the empty space next to him with a wide smirk. "Come on and sit. I want to... explain my conditions before I hand over the herbs."

R: Ryou's eyes moved from explorations to the spirit immediately when he heard the other ones voice and after his gaze got surprised a moment, he narrowed his eyes a bit, before he stepped over and did what the spirit had demanded... trying to look relaxed... what he absolutely was NOT... something was very wrong here... and he had a feeling he wouldn't be glad about it, when he found out what exactly it was...

B: Licking his lips as Ryou sat down, he noted with some displeasure that Ryou was still wrapped in that ridiculous red cloak. Plucking at the sleeve he scowled

"First, take that damn thing off." Bakura said, sounding slightly irritated. He didn't like being reminded of Akefia, because that was a reminder of when he failed. And he hated that Akefia thought he could steal Landlord away from him... Ryou belonged to him and no one else.

R: Ryou clutched the mantle tightly as if that was his last chance of rescue, before... he "glared" at the spirit and tried to hold back the pout that fought to get on his face, before he shrugged out of the red article of clothing and let it fall at the side of him on the ground, that would leave the spirit unable to get to it, without leaving Ryou enough time to jump away with it and rescue the clothing out of its possible damnation.

B: "Better." Bakura said shortly before his smirk returned and his eyes drifted lazily half shut. "Now.. Landlord... In exchange for you herbs for your "sweetheart" I want you..." He leaned towards Ryou as he spoke, his voice dropping to a husky level as he undid his top button. "...to suck me until I come..."

R: He unconsciously leaned a bit in, as if he feared he couldn't understand, before he leaned back abruptly and grew darkred in one mere second, the speed he had used to lean back almost made him fall backwards from the edge of the sofa, that he awkwardly used as a seat. "W-..WHAT?!" He burst out and his wide eyes looked at the spirit...
To be forced into a fuck... was one thing... to be sucking the spirit off meant to do it completely willing and on his own... and that made his stomach almost turn in disgust...

B: "You heard me Landlord... if you want to help your little pet, you'll do what I want" he purred, his smirk growing wider. He knew that Ryou would end up agreeing, because he -knew- Ryou, so very well. Maybe better than the teen knew himself...

"I'm waiting Landlord~"

R: He stared at the spirit again and then - slowly - he looked down onto his lap, lifting his shoulders up and drawing his bottom lip in, chewing on it helplessly...
"...I... I have no idea how... exactly to do it..." Ryou whispered after a second as if he felt the urge to defend himself and at least try to rub his non existent skills in the other ones face, so he would maybe let go of exactly this demand...
Though he knew the spirit would stay with that wish... in the end he had no choice again...

B: Bakura smirked as he slowly pulled his zipper down, the sound loud in the quiet room. "It's not that difficult... you suck on my cock until I come. You can also use your tongue and hands... Whatever gets me off really. So Landlord... are you just going to sit there or are you going to earn my help?"

He knew he was being needlessly cruel here... after all those herbs cost him nothing to create, and Landlord could easily make them himself if he knew what they were... but this was just so much more fun... seeing his host degrade himself like this for someone he could never truly have...

R: Ryou looked at the spirit and twitched a bit with the loud sound of his doom... "...fine." He answered after a few moments and got up, leaving the red coat of Akefia at that hopefully save place on the ground and hesitating, before he slowly sat between Bakura's legs. He blushed violently, when he reached for the other ones lap... and it apparently took him some will power, before he could reach into the gap that the now open zipper left behind and tugged out the other ones member. He didn't look upwards again... he honestly was much too ashame to display his face right now.

B: He chuckled darkly as he watched Ryou reach into his pants and pull his member out. He never thought he would use this word, even mentally, but right now his hosts shame and embarrassment was fucking adorable, and he wished he had enough energy to fuck that pretty face into the bed until he screamed for mercy. But the shadows had taken its toll on him as well and he was still recovering as well... Reaching for Ryou's soft white hair, he ran his hand through it before gripping on it tightly and pulling upwards harshly, forcjng their eyes to meet.

"If you do this well enough, I might even be gentle next time we fuck Landlord~" he said, a smug and cruel tone to his voice. He let go of the others hair and waited for him to start smugly.

R: Ryou's expression moved into something that was contorted with pain, when the spirit tugged at his hair and forced him to look into his eyes, his own brown orbs shimmering with fear... next time...
It left him behind shivering... he actually didn't ever want to hear about a "next time" ... When the spirit let go, he was relived for one second, though that didn't wear long...
Time had come to act now and he still was embarrassed, afraid and totally lost...
He just leaned forward and hesitantly let the tip of his tongue flick the other ones tip.

B: He watched Ryou with mild interest, waiting for him to get used to this and make it -interesting-. The timidness was rather amusing though, and he would enjoy seeing more of it later, when his host needed more "help" or wanted something. He let some of his amusement show on his face as he shifted a bit, as if he was trying to get more comfortable, but was subtly saying "get the fuck on with it".

R: Hesitantly he lowered his head and throwing away his disgust with a last and - similar to a huffing manner - muster his will to lower his head finally and taking the spirits member in and humming in a short disgusted moan, though starting to suck a bit.

B: Looks like he took the hint, Bakura thought to himself as he watched Ryou wrap his lips around his tip and begin to suck. It was a rather arousing sight, now that he thought about it, and he briefly wondered why he hadn't thought of doing this before. Oh, well... he would enjoy it now, and well after his victory. Smirking he chuckled. He had always found his host useless, but he had finally found something worth keeping the boy around for. He threaded his fingers into the other's soft white hair again, not pushing or tugging, just subtly reminding him that he couldn't get out of this.

R: Ryou blushed really hard and opened his mouth wider, bobbing his head up and down a bit, to just increase the range with every moment he got more used to it.
Every now and then he drew in a sharp breath of air, before he continued moving again... it was hard, but he slowly got used to it.. he drew his tongue up the underside of the other ones member and shivered a bit.

B: "Not bad for a beginner Landlord..." Bakura murmured huskily, his fingers tightening only slightly, He hadn't expected the other to pick this up so fast... it was actually beginning to get rather enjoyable now. Smirking, he tightened his grip on Ryou's hair and shoved his mouth back onto his erection. "No slacking off there~"

R: Ryou's head was placed back into his original pose again and he countered that with a low whimper, starting to bob his head up and down again, blushing even more furiously. That was not what he had wanted... this damn herbs... damn spirit...
Damn moment... why? Why did he everytime have this situations? He sucked a bit more, heading for this to be over as soon as possible... he'd bite it off... but he was much to afraid... Akefia would have done it... Akefia... yes... he had to do this for him...
He had to get this herbs... So he continued on...

B: Groaning deeply, he simply couldn't resist thrusting roughly up into that hot mouth. Hmm~ He had never really thought that his host could be sexy until now... but watching him blush with shame and embarrassment while he had his lips wrapped around his erection... well it was a fucking delicious sight. "Hmmm~ Landlord..." he said, a sudden evil smirk appearing on his face as he remembered something. "If you don't like doing this to me... you could always imagine it's your little 'pet' again~"

R: Ryou put on his "glare" again and looked up at Bakura, still blushed and in this particular position it must have been ridiculous looking. "Hmn." He grumbled which should sound like a "NO" apparently and he blushed even deeper, moving his head down again as if he didn't want to hear anything more about it and set his moves better, so the spirit wouldn't force the embarrassing pictures in the back of his head again... he was relieved he never saw Akefia's face, when... closing his eyes and sighing he halted for a second to curse the moment that the spirit had been able to infiltrate his thoughts again... he didn't want to think about it now!

B: "Heh.. your mind is an open book to me Landlord" Bakura purred, his hand stroking Ryou's hair in mock affection, that damnable smirk still on his face. He began to make little shallow thrusts with his hips, his breath coming out a bit heavier than usual. They were signs that he was coming close, not that he would tell Ryou that... Smirking, he began to send images to Ryou of Akefia writhing under him, panting his name in ectasy as he came hard into Ryou's mouth...

R: Ryou didn't do anything against Bakura's thrusting... he opened his mouth a bit wider, and let his tongue slide along the skin of the member a bit... and suddenly there was a huge amount of pictures in his head, pictures he didn't even know where they came from all of a sudden, though they left him shivering and moaning unwillingly between Bakura's legs, feeling suddenly how the other one came without any warning whatsoever and suddenly his mouth was filled with strange salty liquid, that he was forced to swallow, because he would have choked on it. He tried to pull away to cough.

B: Smirking widely as he watched Ryou try and pull away, his grip tightening on the white hair so he couldn't. "Not so fast Landlord~ Make sure you swallow it all up~" he purred, the post orgasm glow settling over him, making him relax greatly. He held Ryou there for a few more moments before releasing him, a wide smirk still affixed to his face.

"Now that wasn't so bad was it Landlord?"

R: Ryou had no choice, but to do what the other one demanded, even if he felt like gagging. The tears that stung in his eyes from the stiffled cough burned and itched until he was FINALLY allowed to lean back and he used this chance to cough hard for a few seconds and suck deep breaths in... also, he didn't answer on the spirits question... he wouldn't. At least if he wasn't made to... and he had fulfilled his part now. Looking up the spirit with still half blushed face and sucking unnatural deep breaths in, he cleared his throat again.

B: He couldn't resist... when he saw Ryou coughing and gasping for breath, he wanted to take something more from the boy. Grasping Ryou's pale chin, he forced the other to keep still before he leaned forward and forced his lips against Ryou's, shoving his tongue inside and tasting himself.

R: He didn't expect that his chin was pulled upwards and the other ones lips collided with his and the tongue slithered in his mouth to invade it, also he did never expect to feel the rolling hot breath right in his face. He didn't blush... he was frozen in shock, before the former happened... and it happened all of a sudden, leaving his head behind with the function of a heater again, trying to pull away once more... fearfully and timidly so.

B: Hmmm~ Landlord tasted better then he had expected. Delving deeper into that hot mouth, he smirked inwardly. His grip tightened on the pale chin, his nails digging into the pale skin and drawing a bit of blood. He lingered for a few more moments before pulling away with a satisfied smirk. Licking is lips smugly, he released Ryou's chin, licking the small traces of his blood off his fingernails.

"Hmmm~ Landlord. You taste good~" he purred, still licking his fingers casually

R: He tried to pull back even more, feeling the tongue starting to roam around and a moan of pain slid down into the other ones throat, when he was pinched by the other ones fingernails... He tried to endure what the spirit did, before the other one leaned back... and this time Ryou hopped away, looking away from the spirit, still blushed and holding his arm with one hand in an uncomfortable pose.
"Can I have those herbs now...?" He asked, voice trembling a bit.

B: "Well you most certainly earned them~" he said huskily, his smirk wide as he reached into the shadows beside the couch and pulled out a large paper bag, Tossing it at Ryou, he leaned back, tugging himself back into his pants and pulling up his zipper. He watched Ryou closely, licking his lips.

"Hmm~ I can't wait until you need 'help' again Landlord~"

R: Ryou blinked surprisedly as the spirit ADMITTED he was satisfied. If it wouldn't have been to torment Ryou even more, he would have stood there, with his mouth wide agape. "Uhn~..?" Catching the herbs he felt relieved... he casted one more gaze up to the spirit, though turned around without another greeting... it was unpolite... but in the end...
He stiffled a bitter laugh. The spirit had gotten a goodbye kiss...
... he had what he needed for A-
His body stiffened up and he looked back over his shoulder to the coat and to the spirit, took a second shot and pounced forward, taking up the coat and running back over to his soulroom.

B: Bakura laughed as he watched Ryou dive for the cloak and shoot out the room. Oh Ra... Landlord was really good for entertainment sometimes. Still laughing darkly, he gestured at the door and watched it slam shut with a loud bang.

A: Akefia was laying on his stomach in a half daze, feeling a bit weaker than before. He stared blankly at the door, waiting for Ryou. Not too much time had passed... he thought... but he couldn't be sure in here... Suddenly the door slammed open and Ryou was there, clutching his coat and a strange bag, his face red and flushed

"Ryou! Are you alright? Did he do anything to you?" Akefia asked in a rush, trying to push himself up and failing as he fell back down with a wince and a hiss of pain.

R: Ryou let out a sigh of relief when he entered the room again and smiled at Akefia, the blush slowly grew weaker and he looked a bit flustered... though not really hurt... except of course for the small scratches on the chin. "No... no I'm allright!" Ryou smiled again and took the bag and the cloak to the bed, looking at Akefia smiling. "No worries... I'll look after your wounds now, yes?" He smiled and opened the bag of herbs, which had a strangely biting scent and also a bit sharp. He reached for some bandages and took the blanket off of Akefia's back, absolutely careful.

A: Gritting his teeth in an effort not to cry out, Akefia winced as the blanket peeled away from his back, sticking in a few places painfully even though he knew that Ryou was being as gentle as he could. When the cloth was gone, he rested his forehead on the mattress, breathing a bit heavier than normal.

"Please hurry Ryou" he said slightly breathlessly, the pain getting worse with every passing second. It was almost as bad as it was before the spirit had found him... gods... the pain...

R: Ryou's face contorted a bit with Akefia's pain. "I'm sorry... I'll hurry... best you bite on the blanket... it could hurt bad a few seconds now... okay?" He looked at Akefia and a bit of alcohol poofed at his side... he didn't want to make Akefia hurt... but the spirit probably didn't desinfect the wounds... he swallowed, before he poured some of the liquid, that smelled typically medical on a small piece of cloth and started to rub it over the wounds as gently as possible, a few of them already open again.

A: Biting the blanket, he still wasn't prepared for the pain. When something cold and wet was gently rubbed his back he screamed, the sound muffled by the blanket. Oh GODS-! What was that? Liquid fire? Clenching his fists in the sheets, he stuggled not to make a sound as Ryou worked, but a few noises of pain left him against his will. It was just-!

R: Ryou winced and hurried up - as fast as he could he cleaned Akefia's back off and lay the herbs on his back, when he was done, pulling his hips up a bit to be able to put the bangades on his body.
"It will be gone in a few seconds..." Ryou said, the worry and the guilt carved into his voice.

A: Breathing harshly as the herb took effect, he spat the blanket out of his mouth and unclenched his fists, feeling strangely exhausted. Feeling strangely detatched as Ryou wrapped the bandages around him, he thought vaguely that it might be better if he sat up, he he couldn't muster the energy right now to move more than a little bit.

"... I'm sorry... you had to see that Ryou..." he murmured, his breath returning to normal. Sweat dotted his brow, and he reached up slowly to wipe it off, a grimace on his face as he felt how greasy his face was.

R: "You don't have to be sorry, Akefia." He said, voice strangely firm. "I'm sorry you had to get this... and that I wasn't able to help you... I'm terribly sorry..." He sighed out a long and heavy sigh. "Don't be sorry... the least that I can do is to help you with it... like you... helped me, when I wasn't fine..." He blushed a bit again, feeling how salty his mouth was still and blushing even more... he did want nothing more, that to brush his teeth until they fell out and then eat out a whole jar of wasabi paste to burn everything away... but... that would probably kill him...
So he finished the bandages and smiled at Akefia, trying not to look as if he had a terrible taste in his mouth. "I'm sorry it hurt... now it can heal the best, though... and I still have a bit of the herbs left, which should work for another bandages." He smiled. "Don't worry... it will be allright."

A: Pushing himself up stiffly and slowly, he looked down at the bed and grimaced at his blood that stained the sheets. Shifting himself until he was sitting next to Ryou, he looked at him, a soft smile on his face as the herbs completely numbed his pain.

"Thank you..." he said quietly, reaching up a hand to stroke the pale cheek before he frowned as his fingers ran over something near Ryou's chin. "What happened here Ryou...?"

R: The blood on the blanket slowly just bleached into nothingness and the cloth even smelled clean and a bit like flowers again, also it got warmer, as if it was naturally heated.
As his cheek was stroked and Akefia's fingers met the scratches of Bakura's nails, he blinked and blushed hard, trying to lean back and looking very embarassed. "R-really... nothing... it doesn't even hurt... d-don't worry about that..."

A: Akefia's eyebrows furrowed. He knew that Ryou didn't have those scratches before he went to go get the herbs... His eyes narrowed as he realized...

"The spirit did this to you didn't he?" he said quietly, his voice strangely subdued as he ran his fingers over the scratches gently. He wondered what the spirit had done to Ryou... because he knew that -his- help was never for free...

R: Ryou blushed even more. He was touched, that Akefia seemed to worry about him so much... but he really didn't want to see him worried now. "I said it is okay..." He smiled upwards.
"Really... it hurt a bit, as he pinched his nails in, but it doesn't even hurt a bit now... I had much worse things happening to me... don't you worry one second about me... I want you to concentrate on healing, so you feel better soon..." He leaned forward to kiss Akefia, but rethought it... he had to go and brush his teeth first... what if Akefia would...
He shivered in disgust. "I'll... I'll be right back, okay? Just... just need the bathroom!" He laughed awkwardly embarrassed.

A: Watching Ryou head towards the wash room with a flat look, inside he felt disgusted with himself. He... could smell it on Ryou's breath when he leant forward... he recognised it from his captivity with Mariku... the bitter smell of semen. Bakura must of made Ryou do... and Ryou did it for him... oh gods...

Leaning forward he placed a hand over his mouth, the disgust washing over him. How much more would Ryou put himself through for Akefia's sake? Fuck he didn't even deserve anyone's help, let alone Ryou's...

R: Brushing his teeth in the bathroom, Ryou shrubbed until he meant his gums had to bleed. It took him nearly five minutes until he was satisfied again and he drank so much water after that, that he meant he'd consist only of the liquid soon...
After that he washed his face and just got out of the room again, looking at Akefia he had the feeling his heart dropped 20.000 miles lower.
... oh god... he was sure the other one knew it... His face grew from blushed to pale and to very hot again, while he lowered his head... He was so ashamed...

A: "You shouldn't put yourself through such things for me Ryou..." he said quiety, not looking up, staring at the floor. He was beating himself up inside... why must everyone he care about hurt themselves to help him? His cousin sacarficed her life for his when he was a child, saving him from being trampled by a horse, his aunt gave her life for his when the village was slaughtered, his only friend allowed himself to be taken by the guards so he could get away... and now Ryou was letting himself be used by a monster to help him... He wasn't even worth helping dammit so why...?

R: Ryou still seemed to be frozen with shame. He did never want Akefia to find that out... now it was not the fact, that he had done the thing, that was the worst about it, but that Akefia knew... that he knew what Ryou had done. He had the feeling he'd burst into tears in a few seconds. His hands were cluthing his shirt and he lowered his head so that Akefia was unable to see his face. His hands trembling and so the rest of his body he already felt the pre-cry weight on his larynx, as if there were already heavy sobs waiting to get out, all in all he looked like a puppy that just got kicked directly in the face and cowered in a corner to beg it's master not to do it again.
"... You're the most important person to me." Ryou said, his voice heavy and trembling with the pre-cry by now. "I love you..."
He felt himself trembling even harder. "I would have done worse... to know you can be better and smile again..." He felt the tears slowly staining his cheeks... the dark realm had left his soul sore and his emotions attacked and weak and it seemed all of that was dwelling up now.

A: Cursing mentally, Akefia felt like kicking himself. Dammit he had made Ryou cry... he was such an idiot-! Quickly standing up, he crossed the room and gathered the crying boy into his arms, trying to soothe the trembling. He was such a fool... he should have pretended that he knew nothing, so he could save Ryou the shame he must be feeling...

"I'm... I'm sorry Ryou... I just wish you wouldn't risk yourself for me... It worries me when you're hurting and I don't like it..."

R: Ryou started sobbing and covered his mouth. He was still ashame, but he tried to calm down even though he didn't know how... he didn't exactly know why he felt so bad all of a sudden...
"I'm.. *sob* ... I'm sorry... I... *another sob* I didn't want to ... hnn~ ... to make you worried..." The smaller one sniffed and clenched his hands to fists hiding his face in the other ones chest and just crying it out, the worry, relief, shame, darkness, too much of the spirit... the knowledge that Akefia was back, the wounds he saw... the pain... all of that buried him just now and he had to cry it out... So he just waited for it to get better and was relieved when he got it indeed felt better. Not wanting to look up with his red and puffy eyes, he sniffed a few more times and let out shaky but calming breaths.
"It was too much the last days... for me... I'm sorry I broke down just now... I'm just happy you're back again..." He snuggled Akefia's chest a bit, as if he intended to never let go. "And... I want to see you better... I'm... I... was alone such a long time... I don't want to lose you... I'd do nearly everything to keep you with me... and it hurts me to see you in pain..." Slowly he lifted his head.
"Please forgive me... I had to do it." One or two tears still rolled down his cheeks and he sniffed once more, looking up at Akefia still.

A: Sighing heavily, he pressed a kiss to Ryou's forehead. Dammit... he didn't like seeing Ryou so upset... and it killed him to know Ryou was crying because of him. Pulling away, he wiped the stray tears away from Ryou's damp cheeks, biting his lip on the inside as a thought struck him. Bakura had promised... that they would both suffer... what if he took Ryou away from Akefia? Or vice versa? It would just about destroy the person left behind...

"There is nothing to forgive you for Ryou... because I would have done the same for you... I hope you know that..." he murmured, thinking that maybe he and Ryou were more alike than he had originally thought... And then his mind flashed to what he went through with Mariku, all in the hopes of seeing Ryou again... and he knew exactly what Ryou meant.

R: Ryou sighed out a bit and closed his eyes with the touches from Akefia, to lie his arm around the other ones neck and lift himself up on his toes to catch the other ones lips in a still teary and salty kiss, but he needed the comfort and the closeness of the other one around him now...
And he never did want to stop again... in his stomach and chest were so much feelings still, that he had to show Akefia how much he loved him... and even though the spirits kiss had been claiming and showing him he was only like a pet for the spirit, he forgot how ashamed he felt after it... Akefia's lips were so much warmer... and they made him feel complete...
Even the dark entity, that filled his body had never be able to do that... there was something additional under Ryou's skin... that made him even feel more empty... he only wished Akefia was real... as real as he himself was... so that he would be able to fill the gap... the gap in his life that hurt him constantly...

A: The kiss surprised him... because it was the first time Ryou had kissed him and he hadn't been expecting this for some time. Making a low sound of need in the back of his throat, he drew Ryou closer and deepened the kiss almost desperately, unknowingly wishing the same thing as Ryou. He wanted nothing more than to exsist outside of here, to be alive so he could be with Ryou properly... He threaded his fingers into Ryou's hair, wishing this was more than just two souls together, that he was real so he could be with Ryou...

R: He was pulled in even more, strangely happy, that the other one seemed to need him near, opening his lips a bit, with a low sigh... this was what his life lacked... exactly this... this was his medicine... his arms drew him even further into the other one and he tilted his head a bit to move his lips against the other ones.
He felt happy and sad at the same time... and it felt wonderful...

A: Moaning, he slipped his tongue into Ryou's mouth, savouring the taste that was all Ryou's... Oh gods how he loved this boy... He just wanted to be as close as possible to him... Slipping an arm around Ryou's frail waist, he pulled Ryou even closer until their bodies were pressed together so closely... Closing his eyes, he drowned himself in the taste, feel and sounds of Ryou... loving them so much... and then his body started to react in the one way he didn't want it to at this point in time... he was beginning to get hard... cursing to himself, he tried to stop himself, but to no luck.

R: Ryou was pulled in even more, he couldn't bite back small sounds by now, he felt so loved and needed... that was when he started to recognize how MUCH indeed he was needed.
He blushed deeply with Akefia's hardness so near to himself and blinked, drawing a bit back out of surprise to look into the other ones eyes. A few seconds he just stood there, his heart beating loud and rapidly, sorting out what exactly just happened and then his arms drew him tightly to Akefia's body again, his hips leaning only a bit forward and with a even deeper blush he leaned forward to resume kissing again, his face so hot again, that he meant it could be a fire, but he didn't care...
It felt good to him... and that was the most important thing... A soft mewl fought over his lips as their's met again and he just resumed kissing... he didn't know what would happen now... but to be honest...
He didn't even care... if just the other one stayed with him... he'd do everything.

A: He was all ready to pull away and apologise when Ryou pulled back and looked him in the eyes... but then Ryou somehow moved even closer and all thoughts of pulling away left his mind. Oh gods... he needed to be even closer to Ryou... Slowly, so Ryou could give him plenty of time to stop him, he slipped a hand just beyond the hemline of the shirt Ryou wore, stroking the skin slowly and sensually.

R: Ryou didn't even think about stopping Akefia... he was so kind and gentle, that Ryou couldn't even resist leaning in and sighing again, while a soft shiver played over his skin. His brown eyes opened and he leaned back a bit with his head, only to place a soft and tender kiss on the corner of Akefias mouth.

A: Sighing into the tender kiss, he leaned down and started to place soft kisses on Ryou's neck, trying not to aggravate the bitemarks from ... before. Slipping his hand further up the back of Ryou's shirt, exposing the pale creamy skin as the shirt was pulled up as well.

"Ryou... if you don't want this.. stop me now... cos I don't think I'll be able to stop" Akefia murmured between kisses before concentrating on one particular patch of skin, nipping and licking at it.

R: Ryou couldn't prevent his head from tilting to the side and a low sigh escaping his lips... he never had done this before... he had dreamed about it... of course... but he had never be enjoying it... take out the fiasko with the spirit... he didn't REALLY enjoy that... His back arched into the other one, as the hand was sliding over his skin and a mewl, with the licks and nips, showed obviously that he didn't intend to stop... he lay his head on Akefias shoulder and placed a soft kiss on his skin.

A: Moaning lowly, Akefia gave that particular patch of skin one last nip before pulling away, gazing down at Ryou, memorizing what he was seeing before diving in for a kiss, taking it slow and easy as he began to move backwards slowly, guiding Ryou towards the bed. Oh gods... he wanted this so damn much...

R: The last nip made him shudder and he looked up, his gaze soft as Akefia leaned down to kiss him again and slowly moved them both to the bed... and even though he felt nervous, he knew he was secure with Akefia... and that was what made him sigh contendedly and lay his arms around the other one, nearly melting with that feelings. He smiled into the kiss...
He wanted it... yes~ ... he really did...

A: Feeling the edge of the bed hit the back of his legs, he switched their positions and pushed Ryou onto the bed, never disconnecting their lips. Pressing Ryou into the mattress, he opened his eyes half way, looking down at Ryou hazily as he smiled against Ryou's lips as well, his hands beginning to slide downwards towards the hem of the shirt Ryou wore, slipping underneath slowly and carefully...

R: He was turned and pushed down into the matress, their lips still connected, he pushed his tongue between Akefia's lips and slid it along his, his face deeply blushed and the eyes closed... it seemed like he was really comfortable and enjoying this.
When he felt Akefia's hands stealing under his shirt, he let slip a loud moan, and opened his eyes surprised by his own eager sound, blushing really hard and his eyes closed slowly again with the pleasant feeling of this hands on his skin. "Hmmm~"

A: His hands continued to slide upwards, his fingers stroking the skin softly as they went, pushing the shirt upwards as they moved. Moaning softly into Ryou's mouth, he slid his tongue into Ryou's mouth, loving the pure taste, marred a little by the taste of mint. His fingers brushed against Ryou's nipples and he paused in his misson to get Ryou's shirt off to brush his fingers over them teasingly, trying to bring pleasure to the one beneath him.

R: Ryou, who was still caught in the kiss and the feeling of the other ones tongue against his own, twitched and threw his head back with the playing at his nipples, his face bright red and his slender pale body wiggling in pleasure. He dared to open his eyes a bit, before he leaned into Akefia's lips again, still moaning and mewling soft sounds in the other ones mouth.

A: Oh gods... he loved the sounds Ryou made... Moaning into Ryou's mouth as he errection throbbed, he continued to play with the nipples until they were hardened nubs, before he began to pull Ryou's shirt off again, eager to feel Ryou's bare skin against his. Pulling back from the kiss only long enough to pull the shirt off completely, he pressed his lips against Ryou's again, a low moan escaping him as he let his hands wander across the pale chest beneath him, trying to memorize everything.

R: Ryou's face grew hotter and hotter with every second, his body bend into the touches, unable to cope with them another way... he wasn't used to this thoroughly kind of affection. He mewled lowly, when his shirt was pulled of and that breathtakingly deep kiss started again. He kissed back fiercely even if he wasn't as skilled as Akefia, those touches and feelings made him quite hungry for more... and also he wanted Akefia to feel pleased... so his hands were sliding over Akefia's chest, up to his neck, where they snaked around to hold the other one close and one of them moved up into Akefia's hair, to bury itself in there, while another trembling moan fought out of his mouth. "Hnnhh~"

A: He kissed Ryou as deeply as he could until his lungs burned for air and he had to pull away, gasping for air. Looking down at Ryou's flushed and panting face with lidded eyes, he couldn't help but wonder if this was a dream... but then he thought that he knew this was real because even in his own dreams, Ryou wasn't like this, all flushed and needy and wanting like this. Even Mariku's illusions weren't as good as this.

"You're so damn beautiful..." he said breathlessly, before leaning down to kiss and nip his way downwards, loving the taste of the salty sweet skin.

R: He looked up at Akefia, his face blushed and the hair around his head arranged like a halo, his blush grew even deeper as he heard the other ones words and he lay his head to side, his body caught in a delicious tremble with the kisses and nips on his pale and sensual skin...
"Akefia..." His voice drawled out and cracked in the end, when his body shuddered again. "... you... you're... hnn~" Ability to speak slowly vanishing he made a cute half frustrated noise and looked up, pulling his composure together.
"You're stunning." He said smiling.

A: Looking up, he smiled at Ryou, a soft look in his eyes before he turned back to what he had been doing. Slowly making his way to the waistband of strange pants that Ryou wore -jeans he thought they were called- he sucked on a patch of skin just above it for a few moments before licking it, soothing away the sting. Leaning up slightly, he eyed the strange devices keeping them closed. Fumbling with them for a few moments, he managed to figure out the first but, but... the second part... what the hell was it...? (*is so talking about the zipper here*)

R: Ryou's eyelids lowered and he felt a shiver sliding up his chest. The sucking made him twitch, though it wasn't really painful and the lick in the end made him give out a wanting sigh.
The button of his pants was opened and a short bolt of panic flew through his body, before he remembered who was opening the pants right now... He looked downwards and smiled with Akefia's face thoughtfully and helpless about how to get that thing open. "Pull the loop down... try it." He blushed even more and looked down at the other one.

A: Loop...? Looking down at the strange device, he spotted the loop that Ryou had mentioned and pulled it down experimentally, grinning when it went down easily. Pulling the jeans down easily, he grinned as Ryou's light blue boxers and creamy thighs.

"Gods... your gorgeous..." he breathed again, his gaze heavily with lust and love.

R: With increasing nervousity he saw Akefia open his jeans and pull them down a wide grin spreading on his face and with the words, Ryou couldn't hold back an anticipating shiver, that coated his body a few moments, before it vanished.
"You~ ... you think so?" He he was blushed so deeply by now.

A: "Yes..." he breathed a slight smile on his face. Ryou... was breathtaking even while still clad in only boxers... Leaning down, he breathed heatedly on the visible lump before reaching and achingly slowly pulling the fabric down.

R: The smaller one shivered with the voice and the other ones breathing against his boxers, exactly where... oh gods... he wouldn't want to?! His face blushed even harder and he felt a pleasant bolt riffling his skin... His eyelids lowered a bit...
This picture... was simply sinful... he never had seen something more tempting in all his life... it made him shiver hard...

A: Staring hungrily at Ryou's exposed half hardness, he pulled the boxers off Ryou's legs and discarded them before soaking in the picture of a beautiful nude Ryou, who was breathtaking... Gods... How did he deserve someone like this? Leaning down, he looked up at Ryou, a slight smile on his face before taking the tip of Ryou's half hardness and sucking slowly, savouring the taste.

R: The hungry glance left him shivering again and he still looked down at Akefia as the other one moved his head down and looked him in the eye... he couldn't believe the other one was really- He threw his head back. "AHH~!" Oh my goodness... was it supposed to feel SO good?! Ryou's hands started trembling and he clutched the sheets... he felt how hot he was growing and how the other ones lips and tongue moved around his tip, which was leaving him wiggling and growing hard to full extent.

A: Loving Ryou's reaction, he slowly took more into his mouth, teasing deftly with his tongue and and teeth, his fingers stroking everywhere his mouth wasn't. Gods... Ryou tasted divine... and he couldn't get enough of it... He moaned lowly himself as he began to experimentally move his head up and down, swirling his tongue as he moved.

R: A long drawn moan and the arching of Ryou's back showed what exactly he felt in his nether regions, his hands burrying in Akefia's hair and his face flushed deeply. His legs even spreading a bit wider and with the moan his hands slid down to the other ones neck, where they stroked along the skin, as if Ryou desperately wanted to give some of the pleasure he felt back.

A: Moaning as the soft fingers stroked the back of his neck, he started to hum softly, redoubling his efforts, a shiver running down his back as the fingers skimmed across a sensitive spot. Breathing heavily through his nose, one of his hands slipping down too fondle Ryou's sack, playing with them teasingly.

R: Ryou looked as if he would by now even soon reach the end, he wasn't used to this still and his body reacted utterly sensitive to it... He wiggled even more beneath the other one and when the fingers played with his sacks something exploded in his stomach. "AAAAAKEFIA!" He brought out on the verge of his ecstasy while he threw his head back and came hard into the other ones mouth.

A: Feeling Ryou explode into his mouth, he swallowed as much as he could of the salty sweet liquid, moaning at the taste as it flooded his mouth. After Ryou fell limp onto the bed, he let Ryou's length slip out of his mouth, gasping for air with a smile. Licking his lips, he crawled back up the limp body beneath him until they were face to face.

"You taste so damn good Ryou..." he said, still slightly breathless, before he leaned down to kiss those parted lips.

R: Ryou drew in big amounts of air before he looked over at Akefia who slowly crawled over him and he parted his lips even wider, blushed deeply still, to kiss his lips tasting himself in the other ones mouth and a shiver burst out on his skin once more, eliciting a moan out of the depths of his throat. "Hnnnh~"
He was overwhelmed with all those feelings... but it was a good kind of overwhelmed... His arms embraced the other ones body nearer to his own.

A: Moaning deeply into the kiss, he couldn't stop himself from grinding down and getting friction on his hardness. Pulling out of the kiss with a hiss of pleasure, he looked at Ryou with half lidded lust hazed eyes.

"Oh gods... I want you so badly..." he half moaned, before leaning down and pressing a brief wanting kiss to Ryou's lips before pulling away, still panting hard.

R: The moan sent pleasant shivers over all of his body and the grinding made him moan in the other ones mouth also and when Akefia pulled away, he panted softly, looking into his eyes and his own eyes were lidded in pleasure, when he imagined Akefia doing that, the hot kiss that followed making him moan once more, before he pulled Akefia down to lick his cheek softly. "Then do it~" He breathed against the other ones skin heavily, enjoying every second.

A: "Hmmm... Are you sure sweet one?" Akefia moaned, his hips grinding again, flinching a little inside at the nickname. He vaguely realized that his sweat was soaking into his bandages, and that his erection was throbbing almost painfully, but he didn't care at the moment... he just wanted to get even closer to Ryou, but he didn't want Ryou to feel like he was pushed into anything...

R: Ryou nodded and moaned a bit again. "I... I want you... 'kefia..." He said and didn't even get himself, that he shortend the other ones name, as he kissed his cheek.

A: "Hmmm... do you have anything to... make it easier sweet one? I don't want to hurt you." Akefia murmured, turning his head and nuzzling Ryou's sweaty hair with a soft humming noise. He remembered when he had been... taken by Mariku, and that he had been stretched first, and it only hurt a little... and he didn't want to hurt Ryou at all...

R: Ryou blushed deeply and something poofed at his side on the bed, a tube of lube it seemed to be... "Nhmhmmm... this could help..." He blushed even deeper and looked upwards at Akefia, embarrassed, but smiling a bit still.

A: Smiling, he leaned down and kissed Ryou softly and slowly as he reached for the tube, grasping it in his hand. Lingering in Ryou's mouth for a few more seconds, he pulled away, lust and hunger on his face. Sitting up, he moved himself until he was kneeling between Ryou's creamy thighs, he lifted one of Ryou's legs and drapped it over his shoulder, placing soft kisses along the pale inner thigh before flicking the tube open and squeezing some of the clear liquid on his hand. (Thankfully this strange container was rather simple to figure out, and he didnt have much trouble with it). Dipping one of his fingers of his free hand into the clear liquid, he reached in between Ryou's legs and circled his finger around the entrance he found there before slowly pressing in, trying to be as gentle as possible.

R: Ryou sighed into the kiss once more and enjoyed the seconds Akefia lingered in it, to observe him, when he pulled away and took one of his legs up, kissing the inside of his thigh, delighted shivers again spreading on his skin. Watching how Akefia squeezed the lube out, he follows his hand with his chocolate brown big eyes and suddenly feels the finger circling around his entrance, swallowing a bit and moaning lightly when the other ones finger sunk inside of him. "... aahhh~ Akefia..." He whispered and drew in another breathless suck of air. It didn't feel absolutely pleasant, but it at least didn't hurt at all!

A: Encouraged by the noises that Ryou made, he pushed his finger in further, shivering at the tightness and heat surrounding his digit. Moving it around, he withdrew his finger and pressed it back in slowly until Ryou seemed relaxed enough. Then, wetting another finger, he pressed two fingers within Ryou, trying to go slowly, biting his lip in the process.

R: Ryou got used to the finger inside of him, and looked at Akefia while the other one widened him. The second finger that was put in, left him frowning, again it was no pain, the feeling of being stretched was just not very pleasant... he blushed though when he saw Akefia biting his lip... the expression was so sexy, that he had to moan out and the muscles around the other ones fingers tightened, leaving Ryou shuddering lightly.

A: "Oh gods..." Akefia breathed quietly, feeling Ryou tighten and shudder around him. He couldn't wait until he buried himself into that heat... Moaning quietly, he moved his fingers around within Ryou, stretching him, his eyes watching Ryou hazily. Unable to wait much longer, he withdrew his fingers again and wetted a third finger, before pressing them into Ryou again, a small moan escaping him... god Ryou was so hot like this...

R: The moans and sinuous movements left him behind panting and blushing and that wasn't even lessened with the third finger... on the contrary... he felt filled and stretched still, but he grew hotter and hotter again... and of course also hard. He looked up at Akefia, silently begging for him to do it.
"I'm... I'm ready for it I think..." Ryou whispered, feeling eager for the other one, panting out softly once more with the movements within him.

A: Withdrawing his fingers with another moan, Akefia quickly shed his shenti, exposing his hardness. Hissing as the cooler air touched his heated flesh, he used the last of the clear liquid to lubricate himself with a groan. Gods... he wanted to be in Ryou so badly right now... Forcing himself to stop stroking himself, he pushed Ryou's leg from his shoulder and wrapped it around his waist as he pressed the tip of his weeping erection to Ryou's entrance. Leaning forward, his captured Ryou's parted lips in a slow, sweet kiss as he began to push inside slowly, groaning deeply.

R: Ryou's mouth was agape, his eyes lingering on Akefia, while the other one touched himself... oh gods... he had thought he had experienced a good... no... the BEST sight already... he was a FOOL! This was the sexiest thing he had been enabled to witness so far, his lips and mouth grew dry and he had to lick over them to wet them again. He shuddered, when he felt the lubricated tip poking against his entrance and Akefia leaning down to him, warm breath rolling over his face, before the other one leaned in to kiss him and the member sunk into him, filling him completely and brushing at his sweet spot right away, what left him throwing his head back and moan loudly in absolute delight.

A: Akefia was moaning right along with Ryou, shuddering in pure pleasure at the heat that was surrounding him. Gods... Ryou was so fucking tight-! Licking his dry lips, he waited a few moments before he began to thrust slowly, experimenting. The to-good-to-be-real tightness felt so wonderful... he didn't know how he was standing it right now... Watching Ryou's face for any sign of pain, he leaned down and began to kiss him almost desperately as his hips began to move slightly faster.

R: Ryou sucked in deep breaths and moans were leaving his lips continuously, he snaked his arms around Akefia, his back arching up and all of his body was wiggling in pleasure under that hot and absolutely good looking tanned man with his scent that left him breathless. He didn't know what made him last, all of this was so unbearably sexy, that he nearly came right away. "Hhnnnnnmm~!"

A: "Oh gods... Fuck... Ryou you feel... so damn good~!" Akefia panted between thrusts and moans, breaking away from the kiss. Sweat soaking him now, as it slicked his movements as he pulled Ryou closer, thrusted deeper, moaned louder... It was a sensory overload that he loved... Oh gods... how had he lived without Ryou before? This made the illusions pale so much in comparsion... not that there was any comparaison to begin with, because the real Ryou was by far the most sexy, beautiful, pure soul he had ever met, and he would loath to ever give him up...

R: His voice grew louder with every touch, kiss, moan, he was pulled into the other one and all his body seemed to shiver in complete desire. "Ahhh~ kefia..." He leaned forwards to kiss the other one deeply again, trying to thank him in any way he probably could, moaning desperately again and wanting nothing more than Akefia to sink even deeper into him, to get even more love and pleasure over the link they seemed to share right now. "Haaa~aah... soon..." Was all he heard himself say, and his legs tangled around Akefia's hip. "I... love you... I love you so much..." Ryou moaned out and arched his back upwards... only a few more seconds...

A: He could feel himself coming closer with every thrust, every moan that Ryou made, every damn move Ryou made... it was driving him crazy... And when he heard Ryou moaning out that he loved him, he just about lost it. Drawing Ryou as close as he could, he moan loudly and deeply as he came deep within Ryou, still thrusting, riding out his orgasm with utmost pleasure...

R: Hearing the reaction toward his confession, Ryou threw his head back and buried it into Akefia's neck as he came at the same time almost, staining their both stomachs and his pants and moans coated the other ones skin, while he himself felt shivers on every part of his body...

A: Panting heavily, Akefia just about collapsed upon Ryou, completely spent. He didn't even have enough energy to move right now, let alone pull himself out of Ryou... Sighing happily, he began to nuzzle Ryou's pale sweaty neck, licking up the salty taste of his skin with pleasure. Hnnn... Ryou tasted so good no matter what...

"Hmmm Ryou... ana uħibbuk..." he murmured against his neck, a slight smile crossing his lips as he finally gained enough energy to pull himself out and collapse next to Ryou, immediately pulling him close again, so their skin stuck together pleasantly.

R: Ryou panted with the pleasure slowly fading into a dull and absolute satisfaction, panting deeper with the other ones tongue caressing his skin once more, before he was cuddled with the few words that he wanted to hear desperately right now... All of this made him purr and hide his head against Akefia's chest, smiling comfortable and hugging the other male close to him... Listening to the heartbeat right at his ear... ~

B: His fingernails dug down into his skin and the russet eyes narrowed dangerously, while the picture in front of him faded into nothingness... A low growl emitted out of his throat, his canines scraping againt each other in an unpleasant sound... he was so angry... Nobody was supposed to possess Ryou but him! Him alone... he had to find a way to destroy whatever built up there in front of his eyes! As soon as possible... somewhere behind him a piece of pottery was poofing and he took it up into his hand and stared at it, throwing it directly into one of the walls, where it was destroyed and exploded into thousand pieces.

A: Unaware that they had been watched, Akefia pressed a gentle kiss to the top of Ryou's head, thanking every deity he knew of that Ryou was here, in his arms, and they loved each other so much that it fucking hurt. He began to run a soothing hand up and down Ryou's back, relishing the feeling of the other's slightly sticky pale skin as this earlier exhaustion began to catch up with him and he began to feel very low throbs of pain. Ignoring those for now, he buried his face in the top of Ryou's hair as he drew the other as close as possible, letting his eyes drift close...

R:Ryou drew in the other ones scent and felt so tired all of a sudden, when Akefia embraced him even more than before... He let a pleasant sigh slip from his lips as the other one snuggled against him and nuzzled his hair, slowly feeling how exhaustion and satisfaction took their toll on his body and drifting off into a pleasant sleep...

B: Leaving his soulroom as he felt that Ryou and that damned thief had fallen asleep he moved on to his hosts place, opening the door without a sound, there never had been resistance against him... and what he saw made him nearly grow raving with rage. Them both of the bed sleeping and cuddling... it nearly made him gag... one second he thought about ramming a sword between the other ones ribs or just breaking his neck, before his eyes lay on the herbs Ryou had left openly displayed on the nightstand...
His smirk grew wide and mischivous, as he stepped over to the herbs and they seemed to change their shape... slowly... slightly, until the leaves were sharper, the scent still biting...
He left the bundle like it was before and looked over at the two of them, his eyes laying on Ryou's slender and pale naked body... He got over to twirl one of the soft white strands and lift his chin up... the scratches still there he leaned in to taste the other ones mouth once more, delighted to feel a sigh of content while the smaller one seemed to be in his deep slumber... He drew back again, petting the smaller ones head and moved to the door and out again... they'd see what they got...

SANG. I AM SO SORRY FOR CHAPTER LENGTH. PLEASE DON'T KILL ME.

EDIT: *eyetwitch and happy smiling* ... We swear that nobody, especially not the autoress was harmed during this chapter. *setting Mariku down on Tenshi's lap* =w= ... *grins*

MAAAAAAN... what a chapter. And how I waited for all of this to happen. The question is, will Ryou and Bakura ever get happy in their state? And actually what did Bakura just do with those herbs at the end...? And what exactly will happen to Akefia? He can't suffer all the time from those DAMN wounds! ;_;

Thanks to all readers and especially reviewers and I'm sorry that the editing took so long... I had a bunch of things to do... ^^'

Tenshi and Sang wish you a creeeeepy~ Halloween! *MUAHAHAHAHAHHA!* *leaves pumpkin-grin cookies*
