No way could I face Bakura in this! Ritsuka had put me in tight, black leather pants and a dark purple shirt that clung to my body but had cuts in the side with a low v-neck. "RITSUKA! I'm not coming out in this!" I screamed. He laughed and said, "Yes you are, I already called Bakura for you, and he's going to be here in five minutes. Anywayz, love you BYE!". I ran out and said, "WHAT! YOU ARE LEAVING ME ALONE WITH HIM IN THIS?!?!?". He nodded and then skipped out and said, "Have fun Ryou!". I looked down and gulped, this was going to be a bad evening. I moved myself into the bathroom and put on some eyeliner and blush like Ritsuka said. I groaned and said, "I can't believe I let him talk me into this". Just then there was a knock on the door. I gulped and walked to go answer it. When I opened the door I heard Bakura say, "Wow". I was looking down at my feet and said, "Err, come on in". He walked in and took his shoes off. I brought him over to my couch and said, "Uhh, let me go get my book from my bag". He pulled on my wrist and said, "Just sit down, I've got mine with me". I did as he said and then pulled my knees up to my chest. He opened up to the first page and said, "Do you want to read, or do you want me to read it to you?". I shrugged and said, "Umm, whichever you prefer". He shrugged and started reading. After three hours I yawned and said, "Can we take a break, I need caffeine!". He sighed and said, "Sure, what do you want?". I looked up at him and said, "Coke please?". He got up and soon returned with two cokes in hand. He opened one and handed it to me and then opened his but it got all over his white shirt. He groaned and then stood up pulling his shirt off. I stared at his slightly toned body and then shook my head and said, "Would you like to borrow a shirt?". He looked down at me and said, "Uhh, just until this one dries if that's okay?". I walked upstairs to my room and pulled out a Fall Out Boy T-shirt. I walked downstairs and handed it to him. He smiled slightly and pulled it over his head. He sat back down and then took a sip of his coke even though there was only about half a can. He picked up the book and said, "We're half-way through it. What do you think about Scarlett and Rhett's relationship?". I laughed and said, "I think Scarlett needs to stop playing hard to get with Rhett, since she's pretty much sleeping with every other guy in the book". He laughed and said, "You're right". I looked shocked but then smiled adorably. He chuckled and pulled lightly on one of my kitty ears. He ruffled my hair and said, "You're lucky you still have those". I looked at him shyly and said, "Uhh, if you don't mind my asking, when did you lose yours?". His jaw stiffened and his eyes became a glassy angered type. He sighed and said, "You are the only person I'll ever tell, so you have to swear to secrecy!". I nodded and he took a deep breath. "I was four years old and it was my birthday. I had gotten everything I wanted because my father spoiled me. My mother died when she was giving birth to me. So I was playing by my bed with my new toys that night and my dad told me to come sleep with him. I walked into his bedroom and heard the door shut and lock behind me. The lights were off and I couldn't see a thing. I felt hands wrap around my waist and then a drunken voice whisper into my ear 'Let's have fun tonight little one' and I had shuddered. My father was starting to scare me and I tried protesting all the time. But he eventually raped me and after he had released inside of me…" Bakura took a deep breath. "…he had passed out. Well I was four so I was in a lot of pain and I…I wanted to make him feel that pain as well". Bakura was crying now and his breath intakes were very stuttered. "That night I got a knife from the kitchen and slit his throat. I was alone in the world at the age of four. The cops came the next day and took me to an orphanage. The family I was adopted into was killed two years ago in a drive-by shooting while I was at school. I've always blamed myself for everything that's happened in my life. I've begged and prayed for forgiveness, and that maybe someday, I could find happiness. If I ever find happiness Ryou, it'll be when I'm with you". I stared at him in awe and then slightly wiped away his tears. "Uhh, I'm really sorry about your past Bakura. You will find happiness though, I'll help you in anyway that I can". He smiled and hugged me. I was a bit shocked at first but I hugged back after about twenty seconds. He pulled away from me and then awkwardly said, "Uhh, we should start reading again". He started reading again and after about an hour I stopped him and said, "Do you want to stay over tonight?". He smiled softly and said, "If you wouldn't mind". I smiled cutely and said, "Not at all, uhh you can sleep in my room tonight, I get up really early so I wouldn't want to wake you up at four o'clock in the morning". He chuckled and said, "Thank you Ryou. You're a great friend". He leaned down and kissed my cheek and then walked off to my room. I blushed viciously and then touched my cheek. I walked down the hall and said, "Oh and Bakura?". He looked at me and said, "Yes?". I smiled and said, "You can uhh wear some of my pajamas and stuff to bed. Everything is in the dresser to your right". He smiled and said, "Thanks Ryou". I smiled and said, "Night". He chuckled and said, "Night Ryou, and sweet dreams". I closed my door and walked down to the guest room where I kept my extra pajamas. I changed quickly and then got a pillow and blanket and walked down to the couch. I laid down and kept thinking about all I'd learned tonight. It would actually jump back and forth between Gone With the Wind and Bakura. And that was pretty much how my night went, morning on the other hand, that was gonna be fun.

I woke up and automatically took my stuff to the guest bedroom. I snuck into my room and saw Bakura sleeping peacefully with a smile on his face. I walked over to my dresser and pulled out a pair of blue skinny jeans and a Disturbed T-shirt with a slipknot hoodie. I pulled on my converse and then started walking towards the door when Bakura groggily said, "Ryou?". I turned towards him and said, "Sorry, just getting some clothes. Go ahead and go back to sleep". He nodded and then rolled over. I smiled and silently walked out shutting the door. I went to the bathroom and brushed my tangled white mane of hair. I put on a bit of eyeliner and then a teeeeency bit of blush. I'm not a cross-dresser but it adds to my cuteness factor. Along with my kitty ears! At about five-thirty, my doorbell rang. I went to go answer it and saw Ritsuka. "HEY RYOU!". I put my hand over his mouth and said, "Shhhh!". He just shrugged and said, "So how did your night with Bakura go?". I groaned and said, "It was great, we didn't do anything sexual. I got to know a lot about him and we finished most of the book". He sighed and said, "Did ANYTHING interesting happen?". I blushed and said, "Well, for one, he spilt coke on his shirt so he took it off. Second, he kissed me on the cheek, and third, he never went home". Ritsuka's smile widened and he said, "SWEET! Where is he?". I smacked him and said, "Sleeping you idiot! Now shut up or you're going to wake him up". I heard chuckling and then "No he's not. I got up all by myself". I turned around and blushed. "Err, Morning Bakura!". He smiled and said, "Morning". I glared at Ritsuka before going to cook breakfast. I looked at Bakura and said, "What do you like in your omelet?". He smiled and said, "Uhh just ham and cheese please". I nodded and then cooked three omelets. First Bakura's, the Ritsuka's, then mine. I sighed and sat down at the table with them. Bakura said, "Ryou, you never got a chance to tell me why your parents aren't here". I sighed and said, "I'm alone a lot because my mom always goes on business trips around the world and my dad left us when I was three". He looked down and said, "I'm sorry". I looked at him and said, "Uhh, don't worry about it". He nodded and the three of us ate in silence. We started walking over to school and right when we were in front of the building I felt my knees give out. I went soaring through the air but when I expected to land on the concrete, I fell into someone's arms. I looked up and saw Bakura looking concerned. "Are you okay Ryou?" he asked. I nodded slightly and said, "Uh…Uh huh". He smiled and said, "Good I was worried about you". He set me upright and then walked away. I suspect he went to his locker. Ritsuka came up and said, "You planned that didn't you?". I shook my head and said, "Really I just fell". Ritsuka sighed and saw Soubi in the parking lot. He smiled at me and then ran over to Soubi jumping on his back. Ritsuka kissed Soubi's cheek and then Soubi kissed him on the lips. Soubi was twenty-two, seven years older than Ritsuka and I. I smiled at the pair and then decided I wanted to go to class now. Once I got in there, there was a note on my desk. I opened it and it was from Bakura.

Dear Ryou,

Thanks for listening last night, it was really nice to

have someone know about my past. If I scared you

away I'm very sorry. But I would like to let you know that your friendship means a lot to me. You are actually

the only friend I've ever truly trusted. It was really

fun hanging out last night and I'd love to do it again

sometime if possible, soon? Anyways, please again don't

repeat what I told you last night. I actually had a hard

time telling even you. So, maybe talk to me at lunch, or

you could write a note back with what you think?

-Bakura-

I smiled to myself and then pulled out a piece of paper.

Bakura,

I had no problem listening last night. It's nice to

know that you trust me, Ritsuka is the only other

friend I can trust. It was pretty fun hanging out

last night, and I'd love to do it again sometime.

I promise to not repeat a single word you told me about your past. And the soonest could be tonight if you wanted to? I want you to know that you can trust me with absolutely anything.

Always,

Ryou

I tossed the note over to him and he smiled at me. He opened it slightly and gave me a thumbs up, which I'm guessing meant he was coming over tonight. I looked down at Gone With the Wind and grimaced, we still had about three more hours of reading. The bell rang signaling the next class [A/N: Yah, class went by fast xD] and I got up slowly picking my bag up. Bakura tapped my shoulder and said, "Mind if I walk you to your next class?". I looked up at him blushing and said, "Uhh okay". He grabbed my books from me and smiled. We walked out of the classroom and heard a gasp. Ritsuka was trying to hide his smile and Bakura was waiting for me to keep moving. I blushed and then started walking again. Once we got outside of our class he handed me my books and said, "I've got to go do something, see you at lunch". I nodded and watched him walk away. I walked to the back of the room and sat down. The only problem was, I couldn't think straight. Bakura sure does have an affect on me.
