Dream

Sam's POV

"Oh no" I thought when I realized of how my dream was going to happen. I watched as my ten year old self walking beside my sister pulling her hand so I could get home to watch Yugioh. The afternoon was sunny and clear like I remembered it. Amber then became still and she growled making my younger self get behind her. Then a shot rang out and Amber collapsed holding her shoulder where she got shot. Then scene changed to five years later and my fifteen year old took a bullet luckily in the leg in order to protect a group of young female wolves. They ran away to get help as I reverted back to my human form, I was dressed in a shape shifter turquoise dress.

The dress was sleeveless and it had straps on the shoulders. I wore black boots underneath and my leg where I was shot was already beginning to swell, just as I was about to apply pressure to the wound, the murderous bastard who killed my sister attacked me. He pinned me beneath him before thrusting a knife into my left shoulder. I watched as the same dialogue that happened nearly two years ago was spoken. I turned away hearing my tormentor first carve the first part of my scar then I heard my screaming. I swore I smelled blood then the scene changed once more and this time I saw my parents dead in their wolf forms along with the rest of the pack. Blood stained the grass and my sister's murderer saying.

"This is your fault little Sapphire because of your sister rejecting me this happened"

I covered my ears trying to tune out his taunts and the more I tried to not listen the more his voice echoed into my brain.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" I screamed.

Present

Still's Samara's POV

"Samara wake up!" I heard a voice say. I quickly sat straight up in bed and I heard a smack. I hurriedly turned to my left and saw Bakura holding his nose.

"How the hell did you get in here?!" I demanded. Bakura removed his hand from his nose and I was glad it wasn't bleeding. But that didn't mean I was happy to see him again.

"Can I not come to see you my love?" the thief king purred. He walked a little closer to me and I bared my fangs and snarled. He stopped at my warning.

"Look I'm not in the mood for your mind games Bakura I need my rest and I already had enough of Kaiba's flirting anyway" I continued.
"That bastard needs to stay away from what is mine"

Furious I stood up and I actually slapped the thief king across the face.

"Don't you ever dare say those words in front of me again" I hissed. Bakura was shocked I actually slapped him and for a moment I wished I hadn't. But the thief king merely turned back to me and a red hand print shown against his right cheek.

"I'm sorry"

This got me to do an anime fall.

"Are you alright?" Bakura's question was genuine which surprised me.

"I'm fine just you apologizing to me caught me off guard that's all" I looked up see him holding a hand out to me and for some reason I took it. As soon I was back on my feet in slow motion Bakura pulled me towards him and I felt his arms wrap themselves around me. I don't know why but for some reason I buried my head into his shoulder as he hugged me.

"I won't say anything to make you uncomfortable again Samara that was out of line of me" I then felt him shake as his grasp on me became a little tighter but not tight enough to hurt me.

"Why are you acting like this towards me Bakura despite the fact I am Seraphina's reincarnation?"

"You silly she-wolf"

Bakura then pulled me backwards a little so I could look into his face. He placed his forehead against mine and I allowed it.

"It is because I love you Samara"

He then kissed me and my eyes went wide. This kiss was different from the last one we shared. I felt every ounce of Bakura's love into it. His arms returned to wrap themselves around my waist while gripped his shirt.

"Now isn't this sweet" came Yami Marik's sneering voice. Bakura immediately broke the kiss and got in front of me.

"I thought I told you to wait on the sky deck Marik" Bakura growled dangerously.

"Like I would listen to you Spirit of the Millennium Ring?" Marik taunted. "I came for her Beast God cards"
"Can't you get the fact only females can use them you idiot!" I snapped at Melvin.

"Hold your tongue girl"

"Don't you talk to her like that" Bakura hissed. He was pissed and I mean pissed. "She has nothing to do with what is going to happen between us in a few moments Marik so I suggest you leave now and she is right Suzaku and Seiryuu only obey a female not a male you dolt"

"Hmm perhaps you will enjoy seeing your beloved suffer then" Marik then held the Millennium Rod out towards me and I yelped as my body glowed gold. My body felt like knives were stabbing into my flesh and I fell onto my knees holding back screams.

"How dare you!" Bakura snapped and I saw his Millennium Ring glow. Marik was thrown backwards a little and the Millennium Rod stopped glowing. "Take my warning now Marik do not test me"

I was no longer in pain and I looked up to Bakura. His face was full of anger and it was all directed towards Marik.

"The love you have for Seraphina's reincarnation does not surprise me"

"Get out" Bakura hissed this time his tone actually scared me.

"Fine" Marik then suddenly disappeared.

"How the hell can he do that?" I asked and Bakura turned to me.

"He can use the power of the Shadow Realm to move in and out in complete darkness and silence" Bakura helped me back to my feet. "While I was resting within Ryou's mind Marik informed me his dark half attacked you"

"That bastard wanted my Beast God cards" I explained.

"He won't care about that" I heard the good Marik say and I yelped as his ghost like form appeared next to Bakura. I almost forgot that he was actually still hanging around despite not having access to his body. "I am sorry he harmed you before Samara"

"Which is why I must take precautions give me a moment with Samara please"

"Very well" then good Marik disappeared.

Bakura then took off the Millennium Ring and I allowed him to put it around my neck.

"The Millennium Ring will protect for the time being believe it or not, as Seraphina you would wear it and it protected you so I want you to have in around you at all times"

I was about to ask something but the Millennium Ring glowed from around my neck and my eyes went bug eyed as it disappeared.

"What the hell?"

Bakura chuckled.

"The Millennium Ring chooses when to hide itself and when to appear, it's magic will protect you Samara"

"Don't you need it to walk around in Ryou's body?" I asked Bakura looking up at him.

"It depends on what the situation is, right now I have enough power coming from Marik's light half and I have a pretty strong feeling I won't be winning my duel with him and I don't want my Millennium Item hanging from around his dark half's neck"

Bakura then came over to me and his forehead touched with mine again. His eyes closed while he spoke.

"Your safety is my only concern Samara I know in your eyes I am just as evil as Marik's dark half but when it comes to your health and well being it's a different story now get some sleep" he then kissed me once more and I felt whatever magic he was using work and my eyes felt heavy and sleep claimed me.

Bakura's POV

I took Samara into my arms and placed her back into her bed.

"You do love her don't you?" Marik asked me.

"You already know the answer to that" I simply replied to the spirit hovering next to me as I pulled the covers back onto Samara so she wouldn't get cold. "The Millennium Ring will protect her for the time being"

"You also realize that Kaiba is getting closer to her as well even though he won't deny it he's falling for her"

"He needs to learn his place Samara is mine and I will not share her" I snapped back. I then turned around and headed towards the door to Samara's room.

"You may not be her mate you fool" Marik snapped back at me as the door opened and I went through it.

"It doesn't matter she will belong with me" I hissed back to Marik.

"You're just as stubborn as Kaiba and Samara"

I actually chuckled at that comment. The door to Samara's room closed behind me.

"You are definitely right about that" I replied as I headed towards the sky deck to duel Marik's dark half.

Later

Sam's POV

I don't know how long I had been asleep since Bakura left but I screamed what seemed like just mere minutes after he used his magic to put me asleep. I had the same nightmare from earlier only it got worse and I was now soaked in sweat. The door to my room suddenly opened and I looked up to see a concerned Seto Kaiba come in.

"Are you alright?" he asked me his tone was kind. The door closed behind him and I realized he wasn't wearing his coat. "I was heading back to my room when I heard you screaming"

"Just a nightmare what are you doing up anyway Kaiba even the President of Kaiba Corporation needs his sleep" I teased. Kaiba noticed my tease and I swore I saw his face suddenly turn red a little. He then shook his head and replied.

"I was about to go to bed when Roland informed me there was unauthorized duel on the sky deck" he began to walk towards me and for some reason unknown I scoot over and let him sit next to the bed beside me.

"Let me guess Marik again?" I asked.

"You guessed right the idiot also boasted how he came into your room again to take your Beast God cards and I told him the next time he came in here he would be automatically be disqualified"

"And his Egyptian God card will be yours"

Kaiba smirked a little.

"If it comes to that then yes I will take his rarest card" he then looked at my face and concern fell upon his face.

"It looks like that nightmare of yours scared you"

"I don't want to talk about it Kaiba so please don't push me" I warned him. I placed a hand to my face. Why were these dreams constantly ailing my mind?

The bastard who killed my sister and who hurt me not only physically, but mentally and emotionally was serving a life sentence in a state prison.

"I don't know what happened during the time after you lost your sister Samara, but keeping it bottled up inside isn't healthy take it from me" I looked to Kaiba with a WTF look. This was so out of character of him to be acting like the way he was towards me.

"Why do you continue to act this way towards me Kaiba the constant flirting? Being concerned for my well being, and who else knows what and don't say the same things you mentioned before I know there's more to it"

"You're right" he gently put a well muscular arm around my waist and he brought me into his lap to the point I actually was in it. My face turned red while a kind smile appeared onto his lips instead of the usual smirk.

"I might as well quit denying it Sam I like you a lot" he began and this got my eyes to definitely widen.

"Not many people know the hell I suffered as a child first losing my parents, then being adopted by Gozaburo Kaiba, that man was a monster and he was cruel to me, I'm not sure if you know but Kaiba Corporation used to be a weapons company before I took over, I won't go into detail how bad the company was going downhill until I turned it around, and because of my stepfather's cruelty is what turned me into an asshole in the eyes of others, I didn't give a damn about others except for Mokuba and I saw the way you spoke of your sister that you loved her a lot and her death devastated you"

I was about to interrupt but Kaiba shut me up by bringing his forehead so it could touch with mine. One hand caressed itself against my cheek as he continued to speak.

"What makes you different from other girls Samara is that you're not afraid to work hard for the things you want to achieve that's one of the many things I like about you Girl on Fire" he suddenly pulled his face away from mine.

"I want to kiss you again I know the last time I did was uncalled for which is why I'm asking now as a gentleman"

My face was now blood red and I simply nodded and Kaiba smirked. But this time I didn't mind he then caressed my face and brought it forward so our lips could meet for the second time. This second kiss blew his first one out of the water. Thousands of fan girls would kill to be in my place right now but I didn't give a damn. I felt my inner wolf craving more attention from Kaiba so I used my tongue to lick at Kaiba's lips. I felt him smirk into our kiss as he complied my request.

My tongue met with his with a new desire, to taste all of him. My claws didn't come out which was a relief as our tongues danced for dominance and I was winning. Then Kaiba did something next that caught me off card. His lips removed themselves from mine and they went to the left side of my throat. He bent my head back as he began to kiss my bare skin. When his tongue came upon my flesh I actually jumped and Kaiba held me down by wrapping his arms around my waist. I gripped my hands on top of both of his arms as he hunted for my weak spot and when he find out he gently bit me.

"Bloody hell" was all I could say and Kaiba gave a sexy chuckle. He then turned his attention to the right side of my neck and did the same thing to it. My body wouldn't stop shivering in pleasure as he continued his love bites on me.

"Kaiba we need to stop if these keeps happening we might both do something we might regret later" I finally broke the silence.

"Very well Sam" Kaiba said as he pulled away from the right side of my neck. I still felt both sides of my neck still having fresh bites on them.

Yami is going to raise hell later no doubt I thought as I removed myself from Kaiba's lap.

"I think you're right if I continued things could have turned out more than I expected not that I wouldn't have minded though" he teased.

"I swear you have perverted thoughts Seto Kaiba" I teased him back and that got his smirk to widen.

"Only around you Sam"

My eyes actually widened. I had almost forgotten he called me Sam at least three times.

"Should I start uh never mind"

"What?" Kaiba asked arching an eyebrow.

"I was going to ask if you wanted me to start calling you by your name but I don't want to be disrespectful by doing that"

"That's another thing I like about you Samara you always think of what others would feel, you may call me by my name if you wish just not in front of the nerd herd, you can in front of Mokuba it won't bother me" he suddenly blushed.

"Heh now who's the one blushing?" I taunted playfully. He looked cute doing such a thing.

"Mokuba keeps bothering me about admitting I liked you"

"You're joking?!" I exclaimed. Kaiba shook his head.

"I kid you not he wants you and I well date"

"And what about you Kaiba, how would you feel about dating?"

"I never had time to think about a girlfriend Sam" his tone became a little serious but it was still kind.

"I wouldn't blame you on that since you run the biggest gaming Corporation in the world, also you have Mokuba to look after" he stopped for a second before continuing.

"But with you I wouldn't mind"

Okay that comment got me to stand up.

"You want to date me?! You're kidding me right?!"

"No I'm not Samara" Kaiba then stood up as well and he came over to me.

"I'm not lying about the fact I like you, you're the only other person besides Mokuba I feel comfortable being around"

That comment got me to turn red even more.

"I'm flattered you think of me like that Kaiba" it was the truth. But I didn't want to rush to decide if I was ready to date him or not. I mean for the love of god, Bakura told me he loved for crying out loud not too long ago.

I turned to CEO of Kaiba Corp.

"May I think about this please?"

"Of course take all the time you need" Kaiba replied. "I don't want to rush you into a decision you're not comfortable with Samara, but I will tell you this now, until the end of this tournament I will do everything in my power to keep you safe from Marik"

I didn't say anything and neither did he. He only came towards me and pulled me into what I knew was going to be a hug. His arms wrapped themselves around my waist. I simply buried my head against his chest and the two of us remained like that until I suddenly felt tired.

"You should get back to sleep Sam" Kaiba suggested as we pulled apart. "You're going to need your energy for our duel tomorrow"

"You're right and I intend to kick your ass" I teased and his signature smirk came upon his lips.

"We'll see about that Girl on Fire"

I merely rolled my eyes while I headed back to my bed.

"I'll hang around until you fall asleep in case Marik decided to come back" Kaiba growled. I merely smirked at his comment as I got underneath the covers.

"One more thing Kaiba" I said.

"What would that be?" Kaiba asked with a playful smile.

"I'll say this once I like you as well l always have"

"I'm glad to hear that" he replied. I simply chuckled before I felt sleep coming and soon I was out cold.

Kaiba's POV

I watched Samara for a few more minutes before I made my way towards the door to her room. I meant every word I said to her. And I was glad she felt the same way I felt for being attracted towards her. Only time would tell if she was willing to open her heart to me or not. My heart was still cold around others but not around Mokuba or her. I just hoped when she did make a decision she made the right one, one where hopefully where my heart wouldn't get crushed in the end.

There you have it Kaiba finally admits he likes Sam!
As does she!
Next chapter starts the Season 3 and Virtual World Arc with Noah and the Big Five. What will happen to our heroes stay tuned!
