Chapter 1: Strange Beginnings

I woke up to a light shaking and a soft whisper, "Bakura..wake up.." I grumbled at the sound and pulled a pillow over my head to drown out the noise. I slowly opened one eye to look at the time...7 o'clock! I'm use to waking up at 12 not 7! Whoever it was that tried to wake me..just messed with the wrong guy.

I felt someone come under the blankets and wrap their arms around me. I slowly opened one of my chocolate brown eyes, that came in contact with ice blue eyes. I jumped a little, but smirked to myself, seeing Kura there. She gently leaned over and placed a soft kiss on my lips, "Good morning Baku, did you sleep well?" I snarled at the name, "Don't call me that and I would have slept better if a certain someone didn't try to wake me up and freakin' seven in the morning on a Saturday!" She looked down ashamed, "I'm sorry 'Kura..."her blue eyes clouded with tears.

I gently pulled her against me and caressed her hair, something I don't do to just anyone, "It's fine dear, and by the way..who was the one that was shaking me?" Her cheeks suddenly became a soft pink, "It was Ryou..he wanted to tell you that you have to get ready–" I broke her off, my eyes going into slits, "Ready for what?" I snarled. She recoiled slightly and shakily responded, "T-to Yugi's...part.." I snarled and held her tighter against me, managing to get a squeak from her, "Who agreed to this so called..party..?" She looked into my brown eyes, "Ryou did..he thought you would like to come with us.." I sighed and crossed my arms over my bare chest, "Feh whatever..just get out of my sight before I get more mad."

She nodded slowly and moved out from the warm covers, causing the light to shine through, blinding me. I snarled and pulled the blankets off, getting up and putting some clothes on. I slowly treaded over to Ryou and grabbed him by the shirt collar, "If this party doesn't go well..I'm blaming it on you my dear hikari.."I snarled warningly. He squeaked and hid behind Kura, peeking out from behind her.

I smirked, walking to the couple, circling my arms around her slender waist, "And you.." I kissed her lips softly, "You better behave like a normal person..Or you'll have me to deal with.."She squeaked softly and nodded, returning the gesture, wrapping her arms around my neck. I grinned and parted from my position, going downstairs to eat breakfast. I slowly placed my foot on the cool linoleum, my foot recoiling from the cold. I slowly strolled over to the so called 'fridge' and inspected it's contents, wondering what there was to eat in it.

I settled on an egg and some bacon. I glared at the bacon, "Now..how do I cook this..?" I slowly put it into a pan and turned the stove on, attempting to cook the meat. When I thought it was ready I took it off with a flat thing that Kura calls a "spatula" and put it onto a plate, sitting down at the table and begging to wolf down the food like an animal.

By the time I was finished my food, everyone was ready to leave to Yugi's party. Kura slowly opened the door, letting a cold breeze come in, sending shivers down my back. I held my jacket closed tightly around me and stepped outside, into the cold October weather. I reached over and took hold of what I thought was Kura's hand, walking down the road with her, Ryou in tow.

I had a feeling..I wasn't gonna like these two nights at Yugi's party..
