"Mission clear boss, we're coming home," a person said and cut off the bluetooth. His partner searched out his arms and looked down, his clothes stained with the blood from the people he had just slaughtered. "You look like you were just swimming in a pool of blood."

"Shut your trap, have you seen yourself? You look like shit."

"At least I still make the look better then you Marik," the first one said. Marik scoffed at his partner and looked around at the bodies on the floor. The person sighed, putting on his bluetooth once again. "Bakura to homebase, we need a clean up here. There's about 20 of them so bring the whole team."

Marik turned to Bakura, his partner and grinned widely. He was happy, thinking that they had only joined the group a year ago and were now being sent on some of the most important missions. Most importantly he was partnered with Bakura, which meant he would never be with anyone else.

"Man I'm hungry, we should go get something before returning home eh?" Bakura asked and Marik nodded his head.

While the clean up team arrived they got into a car and started their journey home. They were both smiling at a job well done, but a scene they went past made Bakura's smile hinder a little.

A young child running up to their mother and smiling as she handed him a chocolate bar. He was getting more upset as he saw the child's father walk up to them and pick the kid up, snuggled into them and ruffling their hair.

"Hey Marik, don't you ever think would it would be like? To actually have a normal family?" Bakura asked.

Marik grew sad, knowing this was the soft side of Bakura that he still had not killed off.

"We were never normal, explain to me how finding you three years ago standing over a body with a bloody knife and blood all over your face is normal," Marik said and shook the thought off.

"He was trying to kidnap me, what was I supposed to do? It was instinct," Bakura said and turned to Marik. Marik nodded his head knowing this already about his partner, and the scene now playing in his head.

Bakura was scared, worried he was going to be thrown in prison for being so young and murdering someone. Since Marik had already done it and got away with it, he agreed to take Bakura under his wing and took him home. After that, they were inseparable with Bakura always sticking to Marik like glue.

Marik taught him how to toughen up, and you can bet that is exactly what he did. Murder had no effect to him and the blood he spilled he washed off without thinking.

"Well you should forget it, as long as you're with me nothing like that will ever happen," Marik said and reached out. Bakura felt something touch his hand and looked seeing it was Marik. "Because you're my partner, no one touches my partner."

"Dude you're too cringy and gay," Bakura laughed but held his hand nonetheless. Marik just hummed and looked out the window watching the city go past. Soon enough they returned home and got out, both making their way to the kitchen. When they arrived they saw the youngest in the house, making a sandwich.

"Kid what are you doing, you have like a dozen maids and you're doing that?" Marik asked and the kid turned around.

"My names is Yami, learn it. Also I can do stuff myself, I don't need anyone," Yami said and turned around. "You two have all the time in the world and yet your not even together. Look at yous, you two are still holding hands."

Bakura and Marik looked down and shook their heads. "We can hold hands and it still wouldn't be gay, I wanna head out for a bite to eat. Coming Marik?" Bakura said but Marik shook his head, so Bakura headed to his room. He got changed and cleaned up, before leaving and heading towards the city.

He breathed in fresh air, happy he has a little freedom but upset Marik didn't want to tag along but was happy to get out. He walked down to the main part of the city, slightly relieved to be around normal people that haven't seen any blood in their lives.

A trashcan being knocked over turned Bakura's attention to a gang chasing someone into a corner. He wanted to see what the fuss was so he followed them. He saw a figure cowering trying to protect himself from the people that were approaching them.

Bakura was...shocked. It looked like someone that was about the same age as him, and the exact same as Bakura. He was crying, hugging himself trying to flail around to not get touched.

"Come on kid, with us you will have fun and grow up stronger," a guy said making the kid whimper. Bakura sighed and was about to walk away but he made eye contact with the kid, and his heart hurt. His eyes were full of tears, a black eye. Bakura saw, himself.

The young and weak child he used to be, and he would not stand by and watch this.

He pulled out his gun hiding in his back pocket and cleared his throat gaining the attention of the people. "If you value life I suggest you back off and leave the kid alone," Bakura said and they turned. He smirked, their faces turned when they saw the gun. "You shouldn't mess with someone else's life unless you are ready for your own life to be on the line."

"N-No way, i-it's him," one of the guys said and backed away from Bakura which only made his smirk grow. "W-Why do you care about this kid? I-Is he your twin or something!?!"

The kid looked up at Bakura, with teary eyes and hope glittering. Bakura felt a ping in his heart again, he did not know what to think of it.

"What he is to me is nothing of your concern, what your concern is the 9mm gun that is pointing at your chest," Bakura said with nothing but absolute confidence beaming from him. The guy that spoke up turned and showed he himself had a gun, but Bakura noticed something and laughed.

"You guys are pathetic, look at our guns. They are the same design but something is different," Bakura said and stepped forward. He kept going, until he got to the guys ear after he tried to pull the trigger multiple times. "Your safety is still on."

The guy panicked and ran off dropping the gun. The other guys all looked at the gun, then back to Bakura.

"Boo."

The others all ran out and Bakura laughed, turning to the kid on the ground. "You should of kicked them in the dick," Bakura said and the kid laughed on the ground. Bakura got to his level and stook out a hand. "What's your name?"

"R-Ryou..." the look-a-like said and took Bakura's hand. He helped him up and pulled him against his chest, not expecting Ryou to be so light.

"Come on Ryou, I'll take you home so you're safe from anyone else. Bet your parents must be worried," Bakura said and started to walk. But he felt like he was dragging him so Bakura turned around and saw he was hesitating at first. "What's wrong? Come on I just saved your life and you're being like this?"

"I-It's not that...it's just...." Ryou said and rubbed his sleeve. "I-I don't really have a home or parents. I'm a orphan..."

Bakura stopped dead in his tracks. He felt like such an asshole. 

He was thinking what he could, he couldn't just send him back. Especially since there was only one in the city and with what he has heard form it...

"How about you come home with me?"

Bakura knew this was going to be a mistake, but he couldn't just leave a cute face like his out on the streets. "But you have to do everything I say, and stay where I tell you. Understand?" Bakura said and didn't have enough time to turn around before he was glomped.

"Thank you so much Bakura!!!!" Ryou yelled and nuzzled his face into Bakura's back. 

Bakura was froze, Marik had never touched him like that. Like, not forceful. He had no idea how to react. "Don't you know how to hug Bakura?" Ryou asked and went to the front of Bakura and tilted his head. "You just put your arms around me gently."

Bakura nodded and Ryou went in for the hug again. Bakura did what Ryou told him and found that he enjoyed the warmth from the other. Ryou moved away and smiled, holding Bakura's hand. 

"There we go!! Now I promise to do everything you say, so can we go now?" Ryou asked and Bakura couldn't look at him in the face, because he felt his face starting to go red. So instead he nodded his head and started to lead the way.

He knows if Ryou was found in the house, he would be killed. So Bakura made a promise to himself.

He was would protect Ryou with his life.
