Author- Rhamana Rating- P.G. 13 violence and mild, erm, suggestions of erm, stuff? English Romance.

Hi peoples! This is my third fanfic! Hope you like it! Yami Rhamana- I will PERSONALLY disembowel anyone who badmouths or flames my light. Okaies. I will let you know if I own anything, I will let you know if I don't! (That way, you can't sue me!! ^_^) This will be a pure Yu-Gi-Oh fanfic, cos I really wanna do one! There will probably be some of my characters popping up in this, so I'll let you know at the end of the chapter/s they appear in. In this one, it's 1 year after the Duelist Kingdom thingy, and well. Ohh, I'll let you find out yourself. Just one thing. Do I hear Wedding Bells chiming? (I know it's corny, but it will be good. *crosses fingers*) Enjoy!

I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, the concept, idea or any of its characters. Heck, I don't even own myself yet! (I can't afford the down payments on the body! ^_^) Blah Blah Blah. I'll let you know, like I already told you. Why are you wasting time reading this?! Get on with my story now!!! Please?! ^_^

Chapter 1- Morning

It is 23rd August, 7:30 in the morning. We are inside Rhamana Julita's apartment, where she is just hitting the snooze button on her alarm clock. 10 minutes later, the alarm goes off again, Rhamana rolls over to the bedside cabinet, and narrowly avoids falling out of her bed, as she goes to switch off her alarm. She sits up, then stretches, and heads off to the bathroom, turns on the shower, still half asleep, strips her dressing gown and chemise, and steps into the shower. Just a normal morning. She extends her head and lets the water trickle down her face, waking her up. Then she washes her hair, turns off the shower, and wraps a towel round her body before stepping out, and rubs her hair with an extra towel.

At this time, we leave Rhamana, and head two blocks away to Bakura's house, where he, his Yami and his father live. He is still asleep, but not for long. The telephone rings, and a sleepy Bakura picks it up, and pulls the hand set under the duvet to his ear. ' *Yawn* Hello? This is Bakura.' He started. 'Hi Bakura! How are you?!' Came the reply. It was Yuugi. 'Augh! Yuugi?! Do you know what time it is?!' Said Bakura, half asleep. 'Uh, yeah. It's half past eight Bakura.' Said Yuugi. 'WHAT?! S**T!!! I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUT AN HOUR AGO!!! Yuugi! I must go. I'll talk to you later!' At this, Bakura slammed the phone down and rushed around, combing his pure white bangs and the length of his hair, getting washed and dressed, then out of the house, slamming the front door on his way out. Meanwhile, at the same time, Rhamana was just leaving her apartment, and realized she hadn't switched on her answer machine. 'Damn.' She cursed under her breath as she went back inside and put it on. As she finally left the house, Bakura was running down the street, not paying any attention to the girl in front of him, and crashed into her. 'Owch! Hey, can't you watch where you're going?' Squealed Rhamana 'Oh sorry miss, I didn't see you. Rhamana?!' He exclaimed. 'Who are. Bakura?! Oh my god! How are you? I haven't seen you for ages!' She said blushing. She had had a major crush on him in high school, and one on Joey too, but Bakura returned her affection, as she found out one summer, when they had, a let's say, summer of love. Of course they had always denied it to their friends and to a certain extent, each other. Bakura noticed Rhamana's far away look. He smiling, as he knew that she was remembering that summer too. 'The cherry blossoms were just in bloom then' Rhamana said, blushing with a far away look in her eyes, before closing them. 'We used to sit under the cherry trees. I remember that time, when a blossom fell on your knee when we were kissing, and you gave it to me and said-' 'A beautiful blossom for an even more beautiful lady.' Bakura echoed in unison with Rhamana, then they looked at each other and blushed. 'You know Rhamana, I still think that you're more beautiful than any cherry blossom I've ever laid eyes on.' Said Bakura, taking Rhamana's hand with one of his, and picking her chin up to his eye level with the other. Rhamana blushed, and moved towards him, and whispered sexily in his ear. 'And where were you off to in such a hurry?' 'Nothing so important that I couldn't stop for a coffee.' He replied, flashing his brilliant white teeth in a dazzling smile that made Rhamana's heart skip a beat. 'Mmm, sounds great! Your place or mine?' Rhamana giggled jokingly. 'Well, probably your place, you know, with my dad and psychotic Yami, and your place is a lot closer to mine!' Said Bakura with a laugh, his seductive English accent breaking through. 'O.k. then, lets go!' laughed an amused Rhamana.

So, they went up to Rhamana's apartment, had some coffee, and then chatted a lot about old times. 'Then pow! Yuugi completely blew Pegasus away! I watched it on T.V, it was amazing, wasn't it?!' 'Yeah! Yuugi almost beat Kaiba too, before that, but the chicken played on Yuugi's good heart, and ended up winning all Yuugi's star chips!' 'You know Bakura.' Started Rhamana, looking deep into Bakura's chocolate brown eyes. 'I can't believe I ever liked Joey! I mean, he would never even listen to me the way you've been doing.' At this, she got up and went to the drinks cabinet. 'That's because you're my friend Rhamana. I would do anything for you, you know?' He said with a smile, watching the auburn haired woman as she slinked over to the cabinet and pulled out a bottle of white wine. //I wish she was more than a friend, though, Ryou.// /You never know, Aibou. I sense she still has feelings for you./ (Ryou and Bakura have called a truce, Ryou is still evil, but he has decided to be nice to his light.) 'You drink?' She asked casually, whilst leaning over and picking out two cut crystal short tumblers. 'Yeah, just don't get me too drunk, o.k. Rhamana?' Smirked Bakura, wondering what Ryou had meant. 'Aww! Take all the fun outta life why don't cha?!' Rhamana giggled, as she struggled to open the bottle. 'Here' Said Bakura, going and standing behind her, and taking her hands. Rhamana felt like she was going to die from happiness. 'Let me help you with that.' He finished. *Tries to help open the bottle. No luck* 'Uh, Bakura?' 'Yeah Rhamana?' 'I don't think we need this' 'Huh? Why's th-' Bakura was cut short as Rhamana, who was already drunk (on love ;3), whirled round, jumped on him and knocked him to the ground with a passionate kiss. Bakura lay there in shock, thinking Rhamana had fainted on him, when he felt her tongue rub across his lips. He found it intoxicating, and deepened the kiss by giving Rhamana access to his mouth by parting his lips slightly. They shivered from the body heat, and the electricity in their body chemistry. Bakura ran his hands up her back, ruffling her baby blue sweater. This drove them both wild, and chills ran up both their spines. Rhamana sat up so that she was straddling his waist and put her hands up his t-shirt, and ran them along his tanned, muscled chest. (What?! It's been a year! He could have worked out since then, couldn't he?! ^_^) He caught her hands and sat up so that their faces were level. They stared into each other's eyes for a bit, blushing, before Bakura leaned over to her right ear. 'Rhamana, are you sure this is what you want? Cos, I mean, last time.' He stuttered, and Rhamana gently put one finger over his lips, before smiling. 'Bakura, last time, we were only kids. I didn't know what I wanted. Remember, I liked you, but I also had that thing for Joey too. But now. there's only you.' Rhamana said earnestly. 'Rhamana, I.love you.' Bakura whispered, blushing. 'Well, do something about it then!' Rhamana whispered seductively, as she pressed against him. Her body heat drove him completely wild, and he grabbed her and wrestled her to the floor where he kissed her senseless.
