Here's a new oneshot I cooked up. It's a crossover between Buffy and Yu-Gi-Oh. I was listening to "Crazy for You" by Madonna and "One More Diamond/The Ball" from the soundtrack to the 1997 film "Batman and Robin", and a picture of Dawn Summers walking into the Bronze and catching the eye of Yami Bakura appeared in my mind. Plus, I read this oneshot called It's in the books by Bellec on ff dot net, which I think is a pretty good read, and really inspired me.
So I decided to type this up. Also, since this is an Alternate Universe, Dawn is a normal teenager; she's not the Key.
Hope you like it!
Disclaimer: Genius Kazuki Takahashi owns Yu-Gi-Oh. Joss Whedon (also a genius) owns Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Plus, the lyrics to Crazy for You by Madonna and How You Remind Me by Nickelback belong with their respective owners. I own the fanfics I cook up from time to time.
Crazy for You
Dawn Summers shivered as she walked into the Bronze. It was a tall black brick building. During the day, it didn't look so bad – just a normal building like any other. But at nighttime, Dawn felt as though there was something exciting waiting inside.
She wore a blue turtleneck covered by a black leather jacket, black Levis, and white sneakers. Luckily, she knew that the Bronze didn't have an age limit except for when it came to the alcohol, as Anya had confided to her about once. Dawn then remembered Anya telling her about one time when she was in high school and had went to the Bronze, where she asked for a beer. However, the bartender insisted on seeing proof of identification until Anya changed her mind and decided to settle for a Coke instead.
Also, Dawn had gone to the Bronze once with Buffy one night, so they could spend some "quality sister time" together. She didn't seem to mind that at all.
Now, however, Dawn simply wanted to sit and watch the couples out on the dance floor rather than do some dancing herself.
Unfortunately, she failed to notice the dark brown pair of eyes with a lustful glow from the shadows while watching her every step.
Yami Bakura was smirking to himself as he slithered snake-like unseen through the dancing crowd. He was wearing his usual outfit – his blue and white striped shirt, blue Levis, and black and white striped shoes. The main piece was a black trenchcoat that swished around his ankles. Around his neck was the Millennium Ring.
He had been watching her from across the room. His dark chocolate orbs crawled over every inch of the curves that made her a young woman.
Dawn Summers.
Even her name excited him so. So did the sway of her hips as he watched her walk across the threshold and into the Bronze. He couldn't help but smirk to himself as he stepped up to where she stood, keeping his lustful glance on her.
Dawn couldn't help but feel as though someone was watching her.
She looked around. Everyone else was too busy being absorbed in conversation, or dancing to pay attention to her.
So who was it she felt was burning a glance at her back...?
"Well, hello, Dawn."
She gasped and turned back to the bar. There he stood in front of her.
Blue and white striped shirt.
Blue Levis.
And – now this was what really caught her attention – over the blue and white striped shirt was the black trenchcoat that swished around his ankles.
She blinked. No way! It can't be him!she thought.
But it was...
He smirked, his white canine teeth seeming to become much sharper and gleaming much brighter in the overhead lights.
Then he looked up and smirked as "Crazy for You" by Madonna began to play...
*Crazy for You*
~~Madonna~~
Swaying room as the music starts
Strangers making the most of the dark
Two by two their bodies become one
I see you through the smoky air
Can't you feel the weight of my stare
You're so close but still a world away
What I'm dying to say, is that
Yami Bakura reached over and took Dawn's hand. Then, still smiling that enigmatic smile, he led her to the dance floor.
"Shh," he said as he placed a finger on her lips. "Just listen to the music."
He then placed a hand on her waist and held one of her hands with the other. Then he purred,
"Now, just follow my lead. You'll learn, Dawn. You'll learn."
Dawn smiled shyly as she began to waltz with him.
(Chorus)
I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you
Dawn listened to the music, as Yami Bakura had suggested while letting him lead her in the waltzing.
Trying hard to control my heart
I walk over to where you are
Eye to eye we need no words at all
Slowly now we begin to move
Every breath I'm deeper into you
Soon we two are standing still in time
If you read my mind, you'll see
I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you
As the song began to fade away into the night air, Dawn looked at Yami Bakura, only to see he was still smiling at her.
"See?" he said. "I was right. You can dance, once you get the hang of it."
She nodded. Somehow she knew he was right. For some reason she just knew she was a natural when it came to the waltz; she just didn't see it in front of her.
Until now.
Dawn was snapped out of her musings when she heard the opening notes of "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback, and felt Yami Bakura's lips upon her own.
But...for some reason...she didn't mind a bit.
*How You Remind Me*
~~Nickelback~~
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
As the song played, Dawn and Yami Bakura left the Bronze.
"You know," said Dawn, "I like that song, ‛How You Remind Me' by Nickelback. It's really neat."
(Chorus)
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
for handing you a heart worth breaking
and I've been wrong, I've been down,
into the bottom of every bottle
these five words in my head
scream are we having fun yet?
yet, yet, yet, no, no
yet, yet, yet, no, no
It's not like you didn't know that
I said I love you and I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
‛Cause living with me must have damn near killed you
And this is how, you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how, you remind me
Of what I really am
Yami Bakura nodded.
"I agree," he said. "And" – he said this as he took her hand – "it's a cool song to slow dance to."
He then raised the back of her hand to his lips and kissed it.
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
for handing you a heart worth breaking
and I've been wrong, I've been down,
into the bottom of every bottle
these five words in my head
scream are we having fun yet?
yet yet
are we having fun yet
are we having fun yet
are we having fun yet
The grass in Domino Park was sparkling with fairy and moonlight as Yami Bakura and Dawn slow danced with Yami Bakura smiling into her eyes the whole time.
In that moment Yami Bakura knew he loved her.
Dawn Summers.
The little sister of Buffy Summers, the Vampire Slayer.
Well, I hope you liked reading this as much as I liked writing it. And nice feedback is also appreciated as well. :)
