So, yeah I have to wait until March to get it…. Updates… a little bit slower than usual but hey what can you do?


Chapter 7

Dance with me

Mai sighed as she opened her hotel room, throwing her bags aside and moved away when Masika dragged her own bags into the room.

"This is a nice room, isn't it?" the publicist asked, turning to the raven haired woman who looked around with uncertainty.

"Yeah, I like it, but do we need a room this big? I mean, this is only for us…right?" the actress asked while she dropped onto one of the large beds.

Mai smirked, kicking her bags aside before joining the girl on the bed, squealing while doing so. "Tonight is girl's night out who knows what might happen?" Mai said, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.

Masika only rolled her eyes.


After Maiu's brief nap, Jou had finally set up his large living room with pillows, popcorn, candy, and age appropriate movies for both of them to watch.

"Are you ready, Maiu?" Jou asked, sitting on the floor, and smiled when his daughter came skipping in, dressed in her all pink pajamas.

"Yep, sure am. But, can you braid my hair back, please daddy?" the younger begged, her large purple eyes staring at the other.

Rolling his eyes, Jou patted his legs and let out a cry of surprise when Maiu leapt for him, giggling while doing so.

"I'm sorry daddy, I didn't hurt you did I?" she asked and turned, sighing when she felt the other pull and separating her hair in three sections, necessary for a simple braid.

"Nah, your old man is tough, you didn't hurt me at all," Jou said, his hand's quickly moving over the younger one's hair before patting the other's back, signaling that he was done.

"Thank you daddy, so what movie are we going to watch first?" Maiu asked, crawling over to her spot and grabbed a handful of popcorn.

"Well, we have the little mermaid if you want to watch that one," Jou said, handing his daughter the DVD to put into the player.

"Little mermaid it is!" Maiu chirped before lying on her stomach and grabbed the popcorn bowl closer to her.


Ryou sighed to himself once he entered his apartment, making sure that the door was locked before he went into the kitchen, kicking his shoes off while doing so. Even though he was pissed when he had made it to Malik's house, the anger quickly faded when he got the chance to spend a little bit of time with Bakura.

To tell the truth, Ryou was surprised to find that both he and Bakura had some common interest. But, of course, Malik had to ruin everything once the smaller Egyptian had heard Ryou giggle like a little school girl. That was when Malik had told him that it was time for him to leave.

'Since you have to go to work and everything,' Malik said while smiling.

Ryou rolled his eyes before opening one of his cream soda cans. "Work my ass," he muttered and grinned when he had slipped the editor his number. Oh, he wasn't going to let his childhood friend ruin his fun.

Taking his hair down from his pigtails, Ryou made his way to his bedroom to take his shower, swaying his hips playfully all the way there.

For the twelfth time in three minutes, Mai sighed as she waited for her friend to come out of the bathroom. "Oh my god, come on Masika, how long does it take to put on a skirt and a shirt?" she asked, lazily looking over her French manicured nails.

A snort was heard before the door opened and Masika stepped out, her hands on her hips. "I don't think you would call this…this thing I have on a skirt." She said and pulled at the fabric to make her point. The 'skirt' she had on stopped close to her thigh, showing off her legs greatly. If she didn't have a pair of black shorts; everyone could see the panties that the actress had on.

Mai waved her hand and stood, pulling down her purple dress down in the process. "You look hot, now, come on! Let's go party!"

Masika smiled at her friend and pushed her straightened black hair back as she followed the blond out of the room. She shifted nervously as she followed the blond haired agent into the lobby before catching up the latter and tugged on her arm.

"Um, Mai, I really think I should stay here, I mean, I want to talk to Bakura…"

"Oh my god," Mai said while rolling her eyes. "Please don't tell me that you're going to let Bakura decide what you're going to do,"

"No! It's nothing like that! It's just that-"

The hotel valet handed Mai her keys to her Benz. "It's just what? I'm not a psychic you know."

"Mai! Quit it! I just want to check up n fiancé just because you don't-" Before she could say anything else, Masika stopped herself.

"Fine, call him, but get in so we can have to be at the club in like an hour," Mai said as she opened the door, immediately closing the door behind her. Masika smiled and pulled out her cell phone before getting in the car as well.


Bakura jumped when he felt the vibration coming from his pants before he pulled out his cell phone to see who it was.

'Masika Calling'

Bakura raised an eyebrow before pressing the answer button, and lazily pressed the phone to his ear. "Hello?"

"Bakura, hey, I'm surprised you're still up," Masika said, truly relieved to hear the editors voice.

"Well, yeah it's only nine. Where are you anyway? You're coming home or not?" Bakura asked, flickering through the channels to find something interesting to watch or at least capture his attention for five minutes.

"Well, I'm with Mai, we're in Tokyo for the weekend, you know…girl's night—weekend, whatever you call it." Masika said with a slight giggle.

The editor suppressed the urge to roll his eyes when he heard Mai yell out. "Well, if you say so, you go and have some fun, be careful."

"Okay then Bakura, I'll see you soon. Love you," Masika cooed playfully.

Before Bakura could say anything, his phone beeped quietly, making the editor pull away to look at the screen which read:

"New Text Message from Ryou."

Bakura smirked.

"Bakura, hellllooo did you hear me?" Masika called, making the white haired man snap back to the woman on the phone.

"Yeah, I heard you. I'm kind of busy here, but I'll talk to you later." He said and ended the call before Masika could anything else and went to his inbox of text messages and quickly went to his newest one.

Hey Bakura, r u still up? Entertain me…. I'm bored!!

He couldn't help it. He smirked. Ryou interested him. Bakura didn't know why, since he had seen the latter being fucked in a club bathroom. Maybe it was because of the confidence that Ryou radiated. But, as it was said, Bakura didn't know, but he liked it.

You're such a loser, Ryou. I am pretty sure that you can find something to do. Bakura typed into his phone and sent it, waiting for the other to reply.


Ryou grinned as his legs kicked back and forth in the air while he laid bed. His hair was still damp from the shower, which made the care nurse push back so that he could finish his message to the editor. He was surprised that Bakura had actually text him back.

You're the loser; hey do you wanna go out 2nite? The night is still young! Ryou bit his lip as he pressed the send button and placed the phone besides him, silently wondering to himself if what he had just said was to straight forward.

He just couldn't help it. When it came to Bakura, Ryou felt like he had to try harder just to keep up with the editor. He knew that giggles, hip swaying, and flicks of his hair wouldn't work.

Ryou jumped when his cell phone shook hard before playing a melody indicating that he had a new text message. Holding his breath, Ryou picked up the phone and let out a squeal when he read the message.

Sure, I don't have anything to do. Where do you want to go?

Calming himself down, Ryou took a breath and quickly text the editor back.

Wherever you want to go....it's up to you.

Once Masika and Mai had arrived at their destination, Masika made a beeline towards the bar and ordered a shot of tequila…followed by three more.

Mai walked behind her, her arms crossed over her chest and whistled when she saw the raven haired woman made a gesture with her hand to keep the shots coming.

"What is the matter with you?"

"Bakura is….he is cheating on me…that fucking bastard!" Masika yelled, pounding on the table, making the people around her jump in surprise.

Mai frowned before sitting next to the now crying actress. "Come on, how do you even know that he's cheating? Just because he didn't say I love means nothing-"

"I know he is!" Masika yelled, turning her hazed amber eyes to the blond. "I can feel it! He doesn't even fucking care for me. I mean, come on… we're nothing but a media couple. It wasn't meant to be at all."

Mai only sighed and reached out to rub the girl's back. "Masika come on, don't doubt yourself. It isn't you at all, you know that,"

"I don't care," Masika muttered, completely blocking out what her agent had just said before reaching for her shot glass. "If he can do it, so can I."

The blond's mouth twitched. It didn't take a damn rocket scientist to figure out what the girl meant. Mai then looked up in surprise when Masika had grabbed her arm and began to pull her to the dance floor.


Once Bakura had pulled up to one of the clubs he had suggested, he immediately recognized Ryou standing outside of the club, rocking back and forth on his heels. Ryou's hair was pulled back with what it seemed like an oversized black bow, the shirt he had on was striped with black and white, as was the legging he wore underneath a pair of oversized shorts and a simple pair of black shoes.

Bakura smirked. It looked like something Masika would wear.

Stepping out of his truck, Ryou smiled brightly and waved him over. "There you are!" Ryou said while tilting his head to the side and frowned. "I thought you were going to stand me up,"

"No, I said I was coming didn't I? Now, come on, let's get in before they say their overcrowded." Bakura muttered, pulling out a cigarette from his coat pocket.

Ryou made a disgusted face. "Ew, those are bad for you." He said before plucking it from the editor's lips and throwing it to the ground.

Bakura made a strangled sound before glaring at Ryou who only rose his hands up in defense. "Sorry, but those things make my stomach turn. Didn't mean anything by it though,"

"Whatever just don't do that again," Bakura muttered as he entered the club, Ryou close behind him.

"Course, course," Ryou chanted, his eyes widened as he entered the club. Since he hadn't been to this one before, the bright flashing lights and music surprised him.

"Come on," Bakura muttered and motioned him over to the bar. "Let's get some drinks."

Ryou smirked. "You read my mind."


Sakmet Masika was on fire. The liquor that was in her system burned pleasantly and the actress went along with that. She smiled as her head lay back onto the guy's shoulder she was currently dancing with. She then giggled when he felt arms wrap around her waist.

I lick the gun
when I'm done
Cause I know
That revenge is sweet
So sweet

She smiled as her mouth moved with the music, dipping her hips, urging the guy she was dancing with to move with her.

Masika felt good.

So damn good.

Slowly, the actress turned around and pushed against the other and wrapped her arms around the guy's neck and began to sway her hips with the pounding beat.

Yeah
we're an army
better yet, a navy
Better yet, crazy
Guns in the air

The thought of Bakura with someone else made her sway her hips even more, slowing with the beat only to pick up again.

"Come on," Masika slurred and winked. "You can't keep up with me…can you?" she teased.

Girls Come on
We ain't done yet
Got a lot to handle
we're taking over the world

The unknown guy she was dancing with smirked, his arms tightening more around her slim hips and moved with her pace. "I think I can, but that's not all I can do," he added.

Hazed amber eyes looked up into startling green eyes and grinned. "I bet…" she said before continuing to move to the song.


Ryou was enjoyed being with Bakura. He was just so damn easy to talk to. But, Ryou knew to keep it simple. They did just meet after all.

"So, how is your drink?" Ryou yelled over the music, holding up his apple vodka. Bakura only nodded before drinking the rest of his down.

"Come on, let's dance."

Ryou blinked. "W-what?"

The editor took Ryou's drink from his hand and pulled him away from the bar, ignoring Ryou who began to whine about his drink.

"What's the matter; you don't know how to dance?" Bakura teased, making Ryou's eyes narrow. "For you information, I can dance, way better than any of these other girls here. That's for sure,"

Bakura smirked. "I have to see this,"

Ryou smirked; his eyes quickly darkened when a song began to play and pulled the editor close to him and began to sway his hips.

Tonight I'm a let you be the captain
Tonight I'm a let you do your thing, yeah
Tonight I'm a let you be a rider
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up babe

Bakura made in inaudible sound when Ryou began to sway his small hips faster when he had finally caught onto the beat and turned, so that his back was now facing him and began to lightly grind on him.

"So, what do you think about that Bakura?" Ryou asked dipping slightly but his arms stayed wrapped around the editor's neck.

Bakura said nothing which made Ryou try harder and began to mouth the words to the music but not before turning back to Bakura so he could see how seductive he could be.

Buckle up, I'm a give it to you stronger
Hands up, we can go a little longer
Tonight I'm a get a little crazy
Get a little crazy, baby

'Well?' Ryou thought as he moved away from Bakura, not taking his eyes of the editor at all. 'Are you going to take my bait?'

He smirked when Bakura moved closer.

Hook, line, and sinker.
