Closer Than Lovers

Chapter 2

A/N;

Me: Hey guys, I hope you're enjoying the story so far, I know I am. Also, sorry about the short chapters, and thanks for bearing with me.

Kat: So am I. Why don't we have Duke do the disclaimer.

Duke: Kit doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh, Duel Monsters, or Dungeon Dice Monsters.

Yami: What's the difference between Duel Monsters and Dungeon Dice Monsters?

Duke: My game uses dice.

Kit: Okay, let's get this chapter started.


~Ryou's P.O.V.~

"Thanks for letting us come over Ryou." Kit said politely before going home with Seto, Kat and Akefia. "It was fun."

"Yeah," I replied, "Feel free to come by anytime."

"Okay!" Kat cut in before Kit could speak, "Then you and Kit can have another baking contest!"

"You might regret that offer later." Kit joked, before she turned to leave. I watched them walk away before closing the door. They're so happy here. I'm so glad they could come. I smiled at the thought. They really did seem happy, but I couldn't help but think that they'd wanted to leave Egypt. When the jet took off it was like they were happy to leave. The two girls had looked almost relieved as the watched their homeland disappear under them.

"They seem to be adjusting quite well." Startled, I thrust my elbow back and aimed where I assumed the stomach would be. "Bloody hell, Ryou!" I turned to see Bakura standing behind me, hunched over and holding his stomach.

"Don't do that!" I cried out putting a hand over my heart. "You scared the bloody hell out of me!"

"Ra be damned, you have great aim!"

"I'm sorry, 'Kura!" I said, helping him to the couch. "Why don't I make dinner?"

"Sure, and why don't we sleep in tomorrow. Today is Friday after all."

"Alright, that sounds good." I walked to the kitchen to start dinner, but not before I was stopped by my yami.

"Ryou," He said after pulling me into a kiss, "I love you so much."

"I love you too, 'Kura. Nothing in the world will ever change that."

"Hey," Mairk called as he walked in with Malik right behind him carrying four boxes of pizza. "Sorry we're late."

"We brought pizza, soda, ice cream and movies!" Malik chimed in, while Marik went out too get the bags.

"So much for our romantic evening," Bakura joked, pulling me close.

"Well, it was you idea to let them stay." I replied, cracking a smile.

"Which you agreed to." Marik laughed when he and Malik finally got everything unloaded from the motorcycle.

"Are we going to sit here and argue about who's stupid idea it was to let me and Marik stay here, or are we going to party?" Malik asked as he put in one of movies they rented.

"Let's party." I said going to the kitchen to get plates and put the ice cream away so it wouldn't melt.


~Kit's P.O.V.~

"Anyone home?" I heard Mokuba call as he walked in the door.

"I'm in the kitchen!" I called.

"Hi Kit." He said as he walked in and grabbed two cans of soda for himself and his friend.

"Hi Mokuba." I greeted, casually.

"Hello Kit." Noah said politely.

"Hello Noah. Would you like to stay for dinner?"

"Yes please."

"Can Noah stay the night too, Kit?" Mokuba asked, sitting down at the table with his friend.

"Seto has to go to work early tomorrow, so why don't you stay the night at his house. Then next weekend he can stay here. Would that be okay with you're parents Noah?"

"Yes, they're not home anyway. The Nanny is there."

"Where are they?"

"On a business trip."

"Alright." I glance over at Mokuba, who was trying to sneak some snacks for him and his friend. "Don't spoil your appetite, Moki. I'm making lasagna. Dinner will be ready by the time Seto gets home." (About twenty minutes later) I was finishing setting the table when I heard the front door open.

"Kit, Mokuba! I'm home!" Seto called from the closet where he was hanging up his jacket. He walked to the kitchen and stopped to lean on the doorway. "Hey Kit. What are you making?"

"Lasagna." I replied while I went to greet him with a quick kiss, "Welcome home." I looked at the timer on the oven as it hit zero. "Can you go get Mokuba and tell him that dinner is ready? By the way, Noah is here. He's going to stay for dinner and then Mokuba is going to stay the night at his house. Could you also get Kat and Akefia? They're probably in the game room."

"Of course, my queen." He said, offering a fake bow and grinning. "I'll be right back."


~Seto's P.O.V.~

As I walked up to Mokuba's room, I couldn't help but think of how old he was getting. He's already fifteen, he's gotten so much more mature. Maybe, he'll find the girl of his dreams soon. My little Moki's growing up so fast. I grinned at the thought. "Mokuba, Noah. Dinner's ready." I called as I slowly opened the door. Mokuba smiled and ran up to hug me.

"Hi bro!" He exclaimed, throwing his arms around me. "What's up?"

"It's time for dinner." I said, messing up his long black hair playfully. I turned to his green haired friend and smiled politely. "Hello Noah. How are you?"

I'm fine, thank you." He smiled back, "And how are you?"

"Fine, please go to the dinner table and make yourself at home." I watched as the two boys ran down the stairs to the dinning room before I went to the game room to get Akefia and Kat. When I got there, Kat was kicking her boyfriend's butt in DDR. "Hey." I said casually. After greetings, I told them that dinner was ready and went to the dinning room with them. Mokuba was sitting next to Noah, Kit between me and Kat and Akefia next to her. After dinner Kit and I got Mokuba ready for the sleepover and when they left it was about seven. Kit, Akefia, Kat and I watched movies until around ten-thirty, got ready for bed.

~Bakura's P.O.V.~

After we had eaten all the pizza and ice cream we could, everyone was a little tired. "Well that was fun." I yawned, stretching out on the couch next to Ryou.

"Let's got to bed 'Kura." He said, rubbing his eyes. "I'm tired."

"Okay then, let's go." Ryou looked up and stretched his arms out to me.

"Carry me?"

"Fine, I'll carry you." I put one arm under his legs and the other under his back. I lifted him up off the couch and looked at Marik and Malik. Marik was laying on Malik's chest and Malik had his arms around him. I was about to tell them that they should move to a bed, but I saw how soundly they were sleeping and decided against it. I carried my hikari up the stairs and laid him gently on the bed in his room. I pulled down the blankets and set his head on the pillow. "Goodnight Ry." I whispered lovingly and kissed his forehead gently. He looks so peaceful. Ryou, you have no idea how much I love you. Or how thankful I am to Ra that I'm the one you gave your heart to. I sat down next to him and brushed his bangs away from his face.. Being Ryou's yami is the best thing that had everhappened to me. I never thought that even after Duelist Kingdom and Battle City that he would have feelings for me. He was always so forgiving, and at the same time he never needed to be forgiven. He was so perfect, in every way, shape and form. Sighing happily, I laid down and went to sleep.


~Normal P.O.V.~

Kit woke up in the middle of a dark room. Carefully, she got up a looked around, trying not to make any noise. She realize that this was her bedroom from when she had lived in Egypt. "Kit." She turned around quickly to see nothing but darkness.

"Who's there?" She asked, frantically searching the room. "Show yourself!" There was a sudden flash of lightning, and a figure appeared in the doorway.

"Hello Kit." The voice said again. It belonged to a boy that looked like he was in his about her age. She couldn't see his face but knew exactly who is was. "Long time no see."

"Oh, it's you." She said flatly, "What do you want?"

"Why do you speak so coldly to me?" The boy mocked with a smirk. "We've just been reunited and you already want me gone?" He walked up to stand directly in front of her.

"Why would I want to be reunited with a traitor like you?" Kit spat. The boy's smile faded and his eyes filled with anger and hatred.

"Why would I want to be reunited with a traitor like you?" Kit spat. The boy's smile faded and his eyes filled with anger and hatred.

"How dare you call me a traitor!" He raised his hand and struck her. "Who left her job, her duty? Who abandoned her~"

"Don't you dare say it! You never have been and you never will be!" The anger in the boy's eyes seemed to fade, leaving only regret and sorrow.

"Please come back with me. You belong here, we both have a job to do. We were supposed to do it together."

"I'm never going back to that retched hellhole!" Kit yelled angrily and turned to find a way out. She felt a hand trace a familiar pattern on her back.

"I guess you leave me no choice! You are obviously still so naive."

"What do you mean?" She asked, not turning around.

"You still believe that you control your own destiny, don't you? I've tried to reason with you, but it's futile. I'll have to fetch you myself." The boy vanished, but the voices of the people she left were floating around the room. Her mother, her father and the people who had helped make her life a living hell. The whispers of those who had believed in the horrible things she was out through. Repeating the same thing they had always told her; "You can never escape...You have the marks...this is your fate...you are one of us..."

The walls began to close in around her, she let out last cry before the walls completely closed around her.


~Ryou's P.O.V.~

It was like watching a movie. I saw everything that was happening and could hear everything, but I couldn't be heard. I saw Kit arguing with the boy, I saw him strike her, and I heard the whispers. "Kit!" I cried out to her, I wanted to reach out and help her before the walls could close in on her.

"Kit!" I yelled. Bakura was right next to me, staring at me with concern. "Where's Kit?" I asked, looking around frantically. Only then did I realize that I was at home in bed. I breathed heavily while trying to get my heart rate back under control.

"Ryou, what was your nightmare about?" Bakura asked, putting his arms around me. "You were screamed Kit's name like three times. You sounded so scared." I explained the dream to him. Then I sat up and reached for the phone on my bedside table. I quickly dialed Seto's number. "What are you doing?" Bakura asked while I waited for them to pick up.

"I need to see if Kit is okay." I replied.

"Hello?" Kat's voice came from the other end.

"Hey, Kat. It's Ryou. Sorry for calling so late." I said, putting the phone on speaker so that Bakura could hear too.

"I had a weird dream about Kit, and I was just wondering if she was okay.

"Kit had a nightmare, that's all. What was your dream about?"

I told Kat the same thing I told Bakura. When I was done, Kat stayed silent for a few moments before she spoke. "Oh, well isn't that strange?" She coughed awkwardly. "That's the same thing Kit dreamt about."

"Is she feeling alright? I mean, did she go back to sleep?"

"She's still trying to calm down right now. She's not in the state to talk right now."

"Can I ask you some questions?" I asked, hoping I wasn't being too nosy.

"Sure." Kat answered hesitantly.

"Who was that boy that I saw?"

And what marks were the voices talking about?" Bakura added, sitting on the bed beside me.

"I have to go now, talk to you later Ryou." Kat replied flatly, obviously trying to avoid my questions.

"Kat, I~" I couldn't finish my question before she hung up. Bakura and I looked at each other in confusion for a moment. "Those two are hiding something." I looked at him for confirmation.

He nodded. "We'll try to figure it out tomorrow. For now, let's go back to sleep." I nodded in agreement and we both laid down. Bakura wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close. "Don't worry," He whispered reassuringly, "How bad could their secret really be?"


A/N;

Ryou: Wow...that was...wow.

Kat: You don't like it? I worked hard on this.

Bakura: Kat, you wrote this?

Me: Yup, I decided to let her have a turn. I think it turned out great.

Kat: Really?

Me: Yes really. Anyway, sorry if the constant P.O.V. switching was confusing. Please leave reviews telling me if you like the story so far and how I can improve.
