Oh Tea may be a bit OOC.. but not much. =) The song is 'Doesn't Really Matter' by Janet Jackson and this fic goes out to Karigan, you inspired me!
Doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
Doesn't matter at all
Ryou padded softly into his dark bedroom, peering around looking for his yami. He soon found him lying on one of the twin beds that lay parallel to each other on either side of the room staring up at the ceiling pensively. His arms were stretched behind his head; he didn't even bother to look in Ryou's direction. The albino boy sighed and stepped over to his yami's bedside, placing a white envelope on his chest before retreating back to the door.
Bakura's eyes snapped to the doorway and he glared at the slightly smaller young man. "Go away." He growled, not even acknowledging the envelope on his chest.
"It's from Tea." Ryou said softly, dropping his eyes guiltily.
Bakura closed his crimson eyes, struggling with the need to smack his disobeying hikari, also fighting the pain that surged up in his chest at the mention of the auburn haired girl's name. "I told you-"
"You said she couldn't see you not that she couldn't write you." Ryou replied stiffly. He was frightened of his yami, but for Bakura's own good, as well as for the happiness of his friend he would face his fear. "Besides, she said you lay one hand on me for doing what she asked and you will see her like it or not."
"Get out." Was Bakura's only reply.
Ryou nodded and left the room, shutting the door gently behind him. Bakura sat up and picked the letter up off his lap where it had fallen and glared at it. His hikari was getting insolent… he made a mental note to punish him later.
It had been only three days since he sent the letter that destroyed his life. He wasn't going to admit it, but he was terrified of what her letter said. He shouldn't be scared, he was after all, a long grown man, but something deep inside of him quivered. With shaking hands he tore the seal of the envelope and pulled out the multiple page letter. Unfolding it, his eyes widened at the first page. Only one word was written on it.
"BAKA!!"
A blush creeped over his face. Ok, so she was angry. That was to be expected. He quickly shuffled to the next page.
Doesn't matter what your friends are telling you
Doesn't matter what my family's saying too
It just matters that I'm in love with you
It only matters that you love me too"Dear Baku-chan or should I say Baka-chan,
Words cannot express how angry I am right now. Not because you broke up with me, oh no, but that you were too cowardly to do it to my face! I guess I'm more hurt than angry really. It hurts that you didn't come to me with your concerns and instead chose to flee. Really Bakura, I expected more of you than to turn tail and run. Spineless has never been one of your traits, why now?
However, if you think you're getting away that easy you are sadly mistaking. You may be letting me go, but I'm not letting you go. Not now. Not ever.
It doesn't matter if they won't accept you
I'm accepting of you and the things you do
Just as long as it's you
Nobody but youYou feel guilty hm? You have nothing to be guilty about. Sure you hurt me sometimes, but that's the way things go. When people love each other its inevitable that they will hurt each other, that's the way humans work. And make no mistake, you are human.
You ask why I didn't lie to my friends about sleeping with you, here's your answer: I didn't see the need. Why tell them you raped me when it wasn't true? I gave myself to you because I wanted to, I don't see why you don't get that.
No one means more to me than you and I don't care if Yugi, Tristan, Joey or Mai don't accept you, I do. Why should it matter to you? It never has before. You've never cared what Yugi or the rest thought.
My love for you, unconditional love too
Doesn't really matter what the eye is seeing
Cause I'm in love with the inner being
And it doesn't really matter what they believe
What matters to me is you're in love with meHave I ever told you that you are a horrible liar Baku-chan? To me at least, but then I always could see through your lies. You said your feelings have died
Liar.
You need me and I need you. The fact is we need each other. I need your strength and you need my light. I am not naïve! Oh and if you call me a friendship loving cheerleader again I'll show you just how wrong you are! *Shakes her fist menacingly* Stop laughing. I'm serious.
My love is unconditional. Do you know what unconditional means? It means that no matter what everyone else thinks, what you think, I love you for who you are. I happen to love that evil, cold, selfish bastard you claim you are just as I love the sweet, caring man that you can be when you want to be.
You're so kind
Just what I asked for, you're so loving and kind
And you're mine
And I can't believe you're mineYes, you're not the conventional gentleman, but if I wanted a gentleman I would have dated Yugi! I don't want a gentleman, I want my rough, angry tomb robber and no one else. That includes Yami. I don't know why you have this inferiority complex when it comes to him. I understand that he imprisoned you in the Ring, but think about it this way: if he hadn't then you would have never met me and you would have died a miserable, lonely old man! Which seems like what your trying to do with the second chance you have. Not everyone gets a chance at a second life with their memories intact you know! Stop wasting it.
Ha! I'm yours indeed. Yes I am yours, but you are mine. No one will touch you while you are with me! And by the way, why would I let anyone touch me when I have you?
Doesn't matter if you're feeling insecure
Doesn't matter if you're feeling so unsure
Cause I'll take away the doubt within your heart
And show that my love will never hurt or harmI understand that you're insecure and new to love. But just trust me. Trust. That's all I ask. I trust you, so I ask the same from you. Yes you have been betrayed many times in your life, but I am not them.
Doesn't matter what the pain we go through
Doesn't matter if the money's gone too
Just as long as I'm with you
Nobody but youNever mind that you hurt me in the past. What's done is done. All I care about is now. Every relationship has its ups and downs, this is one of our downs. I don't care if you're a tomb robber, a broke one at that, just as long as you're you. That's all I can ask. The moment I gave myself to you was the moment I accepted you for what you are. It doesn't matter if you are like a million times my age, that you used to be a spirit or that you're evil. I. Don't. Care. And neither should you. Just stop acting so out of character. I like you better when you are your patronizing, cynical, evil self.
*Sigh* I can't believe you think I'd rather be with Yami. Yes he loves me, but as a friend… at least I think that's all… *shrug* even if it was more it wouldn't matter. My heart belongs to you. I'd rather be the tomb robber's concubine than the Pharaoh's queen.
You're love for me, unconditional I seeAnd that is where this letter ends. I love you, and I know deep down you love me as well. You never cared that I was Yugi's best friend, and should have been your enemy. Please don't push me away; I only want to love you. Let me.
All my love,
Tea"
Doesn't matter what they say
Cause you know I'm gonna love you anyway
Doesn't matter what they do
Cause my love will always be with youBakura sighed a sigh that sounded more like a growl and flicked off the lamp he was using to read the letter, sending the room into complete darkness. He knew she would not accept the end very well, but he never expected her to completely ignore his decision. It irritated him, knowing he would have to go through the whole process again, all the pain again. It was a thought that stabbed his chest with a whole new kind of pain. But he couldn't not do it, it was for her own good.
Dropping the letter on the floor, he lay back down on his bed and stared up at the ceiling. It was strange, his eyes were burning… what did it mean? He snarled, smashing his fist into the wall beside him, leaving a gaping hole. Why the hell did such fucked up shit have to happen to him? Why did he have to fall in love? And with the pharaoh's chosen woman to. He should have been happy about taking away something from the damned pharaoh, but he didn't. After all, being queen was better for Tea than being a tomb robber's concubine.
The door creaked open then, bringing Bakura's attention to it. Turning his head he glared at the dark doorway and growled, "If you value your health hikari, leave me the fuck alone."
"I don't think so Baku-chan." A soft voice whispered from the darkness.
He sat up in a flash, crimson eyes widening and searching the now pitch black room for the voices source. Before he could react, however, a figure appeared at his bedside. Small hands landed on his shoulders and shoved him back against the mattress. The figure swung a leg over his hips so they were straddling his waist and pinning him to the mattress. Lips came down and pressed themselves firmly to his own, a tongue prying his closed lips apart and invading his mouth. The hands that were pinning him to the mattress soon left his shoulders and began running themselves over his chest and unbuttoning his button down shirt.
As soon as the last button was unfastened, nimble hands slipped under the material and ran over the smooth expansion of his chest. He bit back a moan as fingers brushed over his nipple. Tearing his lips from hers he groaned huskily, "Tea…"
He could almost sense her gentle smile as she pressed kisses down his jaw and neck, sliding herself down his body until she settled with her head in the crook of his neck and her legs resting gently on top of his. Idly her fingers traced patters on his chest as one of his arms came up, wrapping itself around her narrow waist. "I'm not letting you go." She muttered against his neck.
Suddenly Bakura didn't want to fight her, didn't want to give her up. All thoughts of her best interest fled his mind the instant her lips crushed against his. Her touch sent shivers down his spine and electric bolts through him. Why should he give up what was his? And to the pharaoh no less. He snorted. He hadn't ever not been selfish before… why start now? Smirking he quickly flipped them so that he had her pinned her to the bed, hands on either side of her head, his eyes glinting ferally. She let out an eep, her cerulean eyes widening.
"I have reconsidered my decision. You are mine for eternity little one." He growled affectionately, leaning down and biting the base of her neck gently, but hard enough to draw blood, which he licked away. "Mine…" His voice was becoming more husky by each passing second.
Tea winced as she felt his teeth sink into her soft flesh but didn't make a sound. She understood that he had the need to mark his territory, and in truth it would be better that way. Yami would understand that she truly was Bakura's. "Hai…" She whispered back.
He pulled his head back up so that he was looking her once more in the eyes. She noticed that his eyes were almost black by then and that the lust, as well as love, was blazing. He slipped a hand up her shirt and cupped one breast tenderly. "What do you say we finish off what you so lovingly started." He whispered.
He would show her that she was his, his for always. He no longer had any guilty feelings, only a fierce need to protect and possess the beautiful girl in his arms.
I can't believe my dreams come true
I've finally found somebody whose heart is true
And best of all you love me to
