Ying and Yang

Chapter 11: I'm Sorry...

Third Person POV:
If looks good kill, then several people would've dropped dead after just glancing at Bakura on his way to school this morning. It was the Monday after the festival, and Bakura had isolated himself in his house all weekend. Of course Malik constantly called, Ryou had probably told him what happened at the festival and he was trying to get some answers. But Bakura just ignored every call and text he got, even the ones from Marik and Yugi, Yami even tried to get hold of him, but Bakura just shut his phone off and took all his anger out on the walls of his room. But now it was Monday and he couldn't avoid them any longer, he wouldn't have gone to school if it wasn't for his parents. They told him if he ever missed a day of school they would stop sending him money for a month, and he didn't want to test them, a second time. So here he is stomping his way to school. But as Lady Luck would have it, there were a certain 4 students waiting for him outside the school gates, all of them glaring at him. "What the bloody hell are all of you looking at?" Bakura said in a dangerously low voice.
"What is wrong with you Bakura ?! How could you say all those mean things to Ryou?!" Malik was the first to reprimand him.
"Yeah Bakura that wasn't fair, you didn't even consider Ryou's feelings !" Then Yugi.
"What do you mean what's wrong with me ?! Did you all even listen to what he said, he said Kaiba wants him to join the student council doesn't that smell a little fishy to you, what are all of you stuck on stupid ?!" Bakura yelled back. 
"No you are! We just want what's best for Ryou and joining the student council could be big for him, you know what kind of reputation the student council at this school has! You're just so blinded by jealousy you can't even see !" Now it was Yami's turn.
"Ha jealous of that jerk off, no way!? And what do you mean 'We only want what's best for Ryou'? You all are leading him into some kind of trap, can't you all see what Kaiba's doing he's just trying to use Ryou to get back at me! He's trying to get Ryou away from us! " Now Bakura was starting to get really angry why couldn't everyone see what he was seeing? They all know Kaiba's game so why are they acting against him? Bakura's voice was starting to rise, "What is wrong with you people! Why can't you see?! Don't you dense people get it ?! HE'S TRYING TO TAKE RYOU FROM ME!"
"YOU CAN'T GET SOMETHING TAKEN FROM YOU IF IT WAS NEVER YOURS TO BEGIN WITH!" And finally Marik, dealing the final blow. That finally made all the gears in Bakura's head come to a grinding halt. Just as he was about to say something, the school bell rang and everyone turned their backs on him and walked to class. Bakura just gritted his teeth and headed inside. He walked in the classroom and saw Marik and Yugi look at him before fiddling with the things on their desks preparing for the lesson that's about to start. Then his eyes shifted to Ryou's seat, where he just caught the boy turning his head to stare out the window, probably to avoid looking at him. Bakura just grunted and walked to his seat behind Ryou, and Mr. Pegasus began to talk. "So there are two things I'd like to do before the lesson starts, first, I would just like to congratulate you all on the festival it was a huge success! Now second, I'm going to be passing out your tests you took a couple of days before the festival." Mr. Pegasus begin walking through the aisles passing out tests, congratulating those who received high marks.
"Another perfect score, very impressive Ryou!" Mr. Pegasus praised him as he passed the boy his test, Ryou became flustered and sheepishly scratched the back of his thanking his teacher. Then when Mr. Pegasus turned his attention to Bakura his face turned to that of disappointment, "Another failing grade Mr. Tozokuo, I expect more from you, especially considering who your parents are." Bakura just clenched his jaw and stared at the paper placed in front of him. He hated being compared to those people, that damned teacher should mind his own business. He grabbed the test, crumpled it up into a ball and stood up, "Mr. Pegasus I'm going to the nurses office I'm not feeling well." He didn't even wait for the teachers reply as he walked out, throwing his test over his shoulder as he continued down the hall, towards the staircase leading up to the roof. His parents said he had to go to school, but they never said what he had to do while he was there, Bakura smirked at that and decided a nice nap on the roof is what he needed, and that's just what he did.
~Timeskip~
Bakura was awoken from his cat nap by the sound of the school bell signaling the beginning of lunch. Lunch sounds good right about now. So Bakura got up and heading back into the building to fill his stomach, on his way to the cafeteria he passed by the student council room, and stopped right in front of the door. I think it's about time I visit Kaiba and finally get some answers. So without knocking Bakura opened the door and saw Kaiba in the middle of a discussion with a familiar blonde student. He was one of Yami and Yugi's friends, Jonouchi, but he preferred to be called by a more American name, Joey. Upon noticing Bakura's entrance, Kaiba interrupted Joey, "We'll discuss this later, it seems as though I have to deal with something else." He motioned to the new presence in the room which Joey had failed to notice, "Oh yeah...just think about what I said." Kaiba hummed in response as Joey and Bakura nodded at each other as the blonde left. Come to think of it Bakura had remembered Yugi saying that Joey had been spending quite a bit of time recently in the student council room. "So what do you want Bakura?" Kaiba said.
"Cut the crap Kaiba, we both know why I'm here." Bakura said as he closed the door and began to walk in front of Kaiba's desk.
"Actually no I don't, care to enlighten me?"
"Don't play dumb, you offered Ryou the position of Vice President as a plan to get to me. So stop trying to use other people and face me like a real man." Bakura placed his palms on Kaiba's desk and stared him right in the eye. Kaiba didn't falter however, "You must have some ego to think that trying to pick a fight with you is at the top of my list of things to do. Incase you forgot I'm the President of the student council, and I have far bigger issues to worry about then a scumbag like you. And about Ryou, my current Vice President isn't doing his job so I need someone more equipped for the job, I would've asked Mokuba, but the school rules say you must be at least a second year to join, and he's only a first year, and I saw Ryou had just the right amount of credentials, so I offered him the position."
"You're lyi-"
"I am not, I may be a lot of things Bakura, but a liar is not one of them, besides, what I fail to see is how any of this is your concern, what is he, your boyfriend?"
"No !" Bakura stood back up straight, taken aback by Kaiba's words.
"Well then I don't know what else to tell you but it is lunch and I would like to get something to eat, so if you don't mind this conversation is over." And with that Kaiba got up and left the room. Bakura exited a few moments later, going over what Kaiba said as he walked down the hall, choosing to sit on a nearby staircase.
"YOU CAN'T GET SOMETHING TAKEN FROM YOU IF IT WAS NEVER YOURS TO BEGIN WITH!"
"What is he your boyfriend?"
"You're just so blinded by jealousy you can't even see!"
Everything everyone told him just started to flood his subconscious.
Am I really jealous? Ugh what is wrong with me? This is why I never had feelings for anyone before, it just complicates everything.
"Bakura?"
Bakura lifted his head from his hands to see Ryou standing at the bottom of the stairs looking back up at him, with a worried expression. Ryou knew he should've been mad at Bakura, but seeing him like that tugged at Ryou's heart strings, besides the poor boy could never really hold a grudge. "Bakura, are you alright?" Bakura couldn't hold it in any longer he stood up and marched down the stairs and pushed Ryou against the wall behind him, as the boy gave a yelp. He placed his hands on either side of Ryou's head and lowered his head so his bangs shadowed over his eyes. "Baku-"
"I'm sorry"
Ugh? Had Ryou heard him correctly ?
"Huh ?"
"Don't make me repeat it," Bakura finally looked into Ryou's eyes, making Ryou realize how much he missed staring into those rusty red orbs, "look I've never really done this before but, I'm trying ok?" Ryou could only nod as he was at a lost for words. Bakura took a deep breathe before he continued, "I'm sorry about how I reacted, but I only did it because.. because..."
"Because?" Ryou tried to encourage
"Because...agh fuck it." And with that Bakura leaned in and kissed Ryou's surprised lips. He tried to push everything he wanted to tell Ryou through their kiss, Ryou stared wide eyed at Bakura's closed ones, before everything started to click for him and he relaxed and closed his eyes returning Bakura's kiss. Once they broke apart Ryou stared at Bakura with his cheeks painted scarlet "Oh." Ryou stated.
"Oh? That's all you can say? Oh?" Bakura asked. Ryou turned an even darker shade and started to become flustered, "That was my first kiss ! How else did you expect me to react?!" He shouted banging his fists against Bakura's chest. Bakura couldn't help it and started to laugh at Ryou's flustered being. Ryou pouted but then also began to laugh with Bakura, at least he finally knows why Bakura acted the way he did, and he knows that he and Bakura feel the same way about each other. And he got his first kiss.
