Nothing Can Keep me from You
No matter how far, you'll never be that far from me
Ryou POV
I opened my arms to my father and he hugged me for the
first time since we met. I don't know why he hugged me. After telling him I had
to pack Bakura's things, he stepped away and Bakura followed me up the stairs.
I helped him pack. I sat at the edge of the bed folding his clothes. My head
still felt kind of feverish, but I wanted to help my yami.
He's going to stay with Marik and Malik. Bakura wasn't
going to sleep by my side. My Bakura….would not hold me in his arms. My
Bakura…would not be there to stroke my cheek. He will be a few blocks away, but
he will always have a place close to my heart where he belongs.
Somehow I would find you, move heaven and earth to be by
your side
Oh I'd walk, this world to walk, beside you
Bakura's POV
My hikari opened my suitcase and I handed him three of my
favorite blue shirts. When I handed him the clothing, our fingers touched. Ryou
sat still for a moment looking up at me with his large brown eyes. I would die
a thousand deaths to look into those eyes if only for a moment. I fell him
against me, I would undergo the worst torture. I would
do anything for him, my little hikari. I would do anything for his touch…for
his love…..
No mountain could ever stand between us
No ocean could ever be that wide
No river too deep to keep your love from me
I swear it's the truth
Ryou's POV
Wherever my yami goes, he knows I am always with him.
Nothing can separate us and the love we have for each other. I never gave up on
my yami. Bakura may be leaving for a little while, but nothing can ever
separate us. Our love will see us through…………….If that is true, why am I
crying?
Nothing can keep me from you
There's no race I would not go to
No distance would ever be too far
Bakura looked down at Ryou wiping his tear from his eye. "Ryou?"
Ryou took in a deep breath and coughed into his yami's clothing.
Bakura gently caressed Ryou's hair. "I would do anything for you, Ryou. I
want you to be happy. I will always be with you, even if I cannot be beside
you."
To keep me away I'd always find a way
To show you it's true
Nothing can keep me from you
Nothing can keep me from you
Bakura's POV
The Millenium Ring dangled
between us as we embraced. That little Ring brought us together in the first
place. He was destined to own it. "Nothing will tear us apart, Ryou. I
will be with you always." I removed the Millenium
Ring from my neck and placed it around Ryou's neck. "Your father gave you
this as a present. You should keep it with you. With it always with you, it
will be a constant reminder of my presence. And your wedding band will always
be a testament to our undying love.
Bakura's POV
I promised my mortal half that I would always be there for
him. Till death do us part. That held a special
meaning to me. With this ring, I thee wed. I took his hand and I kissed his
ring, the symbol of our everlasting love.
"One morning I promised to love you forever. One
morning I promised to care for you. And that one morning I have lived over and
over in my mind. Nothing will change the vows I made to you that morning."
And you can be sure there's no mountain that
I would not move
Just to lie beside you spend my whole life
Looking in your eyes
Yeah I swear, I'm there for you, forever
Ryou's POV
Our fingers entwined and we held onto each other. I wished
this moment would never end, that Bakura would not leave me, that
it would never come down to this. In his arms, the passage of time seemed to
fade. Every morning when I woke up, I saw those eyes…every time I watched him
intently, we connected. I looked into my yami's eyes. They were compassionate,
No mountain could ever stand between us
No ocean could ever be that wide
No river too deep to keep your love from me
I swear it's the truth
Nothing can keep me from you
And I would go anywhere to be anywhere you are
And I would do anything just to hold you in my arms
Ryou pulled Bakura on top of him on the bed. Ryou held him
close and deepened the kiss desperately. The boy breathed in as deeply as
possible to inhale Bakura's spicy cologne with a hint of cinnamon. The yami
kissed down Ryou's neck gently kissing and licking his way down the base of
Ryou's red neck.
"What I wouldn't give to stay like this, yami! I want
to be with you so badly. I'll miss you tonight. It will be the hardest thing I
have ever done in my entire life not to have you beside me."
Nothing can stop a love this strong
Yeah I swear, I'm there, for you forever
"Nothing will ever break us apart, my angel. I will
be here for you until the end of time. Your father may think that he has won,
that I am leaving because of him. No, Ryou. I am leaving in hopes that this
will give you a chance to make amends with him. You wanted to repair this
tattered relationship with him. Personally, I do not know how long it will
take. But nothing can ever stop the love I have for you. If he lays one hand on
you, or if he hurts you in any way, promise to contact me through our mindlink. I will be here instantly."
Ryou nodded.
"That's my boy. My little
Ryou."
No mountain could ever stand between us
No ocean could ever be that wide
No river too deep to keep your love from me
Ryou's POV
He told me this would never tear us apart. It may not
destroy our relationship, but the thought of his absence tears me up inside. No
matter where he is, our love would always find a way to reunite us.
I swear it's the truth
Nothing can keep me from you
There's no race I would not go to
Bakura brushed away Ryou's hair lovingly and kissed his
forehead. "I would do anything for you , Ryou.
And if it means that you and your father will speak again, I would do anything
to make you happy."
"You'll always have a special place in my heart,
yami. That will never change no matter where you are."
Bakura hugged Ryou tighter. "I would swim the
Ryou whimpered into Bakura's chest.
Bakura slowly rose and placed a few more sets of clothes
into the luggage and zipped it up. Bakura pulled the bag over his shoulder and
carried the luggage out of the room.
Steven stayed at the door and opened it for Bakura.
Bakura crossed in front of Steven and stopped. "I
will not hear of Ryou being mistreated."
Ryou stood at the door watching his yami walk to the car.
"Bakura……."
"I never want to hear his name again, Ryou. He is a
memory. He never lived here. He never met you. He is nothing to you……just a
face in the crowd….and a thorn in my side."
To keep me away I'd always find a way
To show you it's true
Nothing can keep me from you
Nothing can keep me from you
Ryou's POV
I watched my lover walk slowly to the car. My father put
his arm around me and I covered my mouth as a sob wracked my fragile frame.
"You've made the right decision, Ryou. Now maybe we
can forget about this mess you created," my father said to me.
Bakura put his luggage in the car and turned around to me,
the sunlight glimmering off his own tears. In the sunlight, his hair shimmered.
// I will always love you, Ryou, my love. I will be with
you until the end of time. // came through our mindlink
to me.
\\ I wish there was another way, yami. I miss you
already….and it hurts. \\ I responded.
He gave me a mental kiss and he opened the door of the
car. I looked up at my dad who glared at Bakura's departure. He looked
pleased…and I knew why. He thought he won.
Nothing can keep me
No, nothing can keep me from you
No mountain, no ocean, no river
Ryou's POV
The car pulled away with Bakura looking out the back. I
ran to the street as fast as my weak legs could carry me. I waved my hands as
the car left with the love of my life in the back seat waving back to me. His
face struggled with the same smile I tried to wear. As the car increased its
distance from the house, a little piece of me was torn away. My
Bakura….my yami…..my…husband….my immortal half.
"I LOVE YOU, BAKUUUUURAAAAAAAA!!!" I yelled as
loud as I could with congested lungs. When the car disappeared down the block,
I looked into the empty street….my new wasteland without my yami's presence.
Nothing can keep me from you
No mountain, no ocean, no river
Ryou's POV
I fell to the ground on my knees on the pavement. My chest
heaved with the sudden burst of stamina and the pain of Bakura's absence.
"I love you, yami," I whispered to the ground as if I was in prayer.
"I'll love you forever and ever. Nothing can keep me from you forever, my
love."
I kept telling myself that this would make everything
better between me and my dad. Willing to swallow my pride a little, I was
forced to give up what meant the most to me in the world….my Bakura. Dad came
behind me and lifted me off the ground. He put his arm around me and led me
back into the house. I tried not to show my tears to my father. I didn't know
if he would scream at me for being a woman.
He turned to me and said, "Now you are a man, my
son."
Nothing can keep me from you
Next Chappie: Ryou tries to mend his relationship, while
Marik and Bakura discuss theirs. I was going to put in a really short lemon
with Malik x Marik. (Basically, Bakura is in another room next to theirs and
they are …uh…..going at it and Bakura knocks on the wall for them to calm down.
Do you guys want a really really short lemon scene in
there? It won't be too long, just enough.). I have a foursome planned later for
a completely different chappie, so this one is an optional lemon for you guys.
I promise to section off the lemon in the fic with (********). I already have
that chappie written, but I can add a little lemon in for laughs. Let me know.
THANKS TO ALL MY WONDERFUL REVIEWERS!!!!!
