Love Across the Ages
Disclaimer: I don't own yu-gi-oh.
~~Friday Evening,
Bakura came to pick her up at exactly 6:00PM. Since Bakura didn't drive he had called a taxi to take them to the movies. They chose to watch "Bruce Almighty" (A/N: No, I don't own this either.) They sat near the back, soon the room went dark and the movie started.
Bakura could hardly keep his attention on the movie. He tried to put his arm around and over her back like Ryou had taught him. Sigh sometimes it didn't pay to ask a girlfriendless hikari for advice on courting girls.
At the end of the movie, the two went for a walk in the park. The moon was out and it shone on the rock-patterned path that the two were taking. They stopped by a circular garden with a fountain in the middle. Bakura took her hand and the two sat down on the side of the fountain. Bakura wrapped his free arm around Gabby's back hoping that she would not push him away. She didn't.
Bakura let out a sigh, as Gabby nuzzled into his neck. Her hair slightly tickled his neck and he decided that he would rather die right now then ruin the moment by laughing. He smelt her hair. The sweet smell intoxicated his senses. She smelt of strawberries. He knew it was just shampoo, but still it seemed to be like her signature scent. He remembered back to all those years when he had first spent a moment like this with her. It was so long ago, but he stilled remembered every word they had shared like it had happened just moments ago.
~FlashBack
He remembered that faithful day, he just returned from a trip to his lair where he kept most of his stolen goods and was returning to his home. He was riding the white horse that he had stolen from a rich man's stables, when he passed by a bump in the middle of the desert.
The lump turned out to be a beautiful young girl. She had been dressed in the most odd clothes he had seen, (A/N: which he now knows is not so odd). He had a felt an immediate closeness to her, as if it was fate or destiny. He took out some water from his pack, and tried to feed her some water. He picked her up; she had a special scent, like some sort of exotic fruit. Suddenly he had stopped. /Why am I even bothering? She is nothing but a fool in the desert. I should let her die/ he got up to leave, he saw her lay there, slowly dehydrating in the sun and totally unconscious. He felt a deep feeling of guilt.
/Sigh. What's wrong with me? I'm getting weak/ He tried to get water down her throat. Suddenly she choked but then she let the water run down her throat. His heart sung with joy, but his mind said 'wasn't that a waste of water' . Guess Bakura would always be Bakura.
~End of Flashback
He shook his head at the memory, slightly disturbing Gabby. "What are you thinking about Bakura?" she asked as she lifted her head to look at Bakura in the eyes. His eyes were mesmerizing, besides his usual mysterious look, tonight they seemed to hold passion. His eyes looked less like the usual Bakura, more like Ryou in a way but still holding the original Bakura trademark.
"I'm thinking about us." He said as a grin touched his handsome features.
He leaned over a placed a soft butterfly kiss upon her lips. He opened his eyes too see Gabby's face in the moonlight. /Kami she's beautiful/ he thought.
"You know I've waited 5000 years to kiss you again?" he said.
"Was it worth it?" she asked
"Every second." He leaned in to kiss her again.
They sat by the fountain in total silence for a moment. Gabby played with the water of the fountain. Bakura just watched her with a silly grin on his face. Gabby eyed him with a playful smile, and then she flicked water in his face. Bakura woke up from his daydream to see a giggling Gabby.
"So you want to play eh?" The two lovebirds continued to flick water at each other till Bakura finally pulled Gabby in to his arms and captured her lips in a passionate kiss. Gabby felt as if she was drowning. Time seemed to have slowed to a steady halt. Their surroundings were swirling. She could concentrate on nothing but the kiss.
They finally separated for air. They looked up to the sky. The stars were out and were shining above like little twinkling diamonds. "Do you believe in wishing on a star?" Gabby asked.
"I have no reason to wish on a star. I have you and that's all that matters."
"I love you Bakura, stealer of my heart." She whispered.
He held her head to his chest. "I love you too."
~~The next day
Although she had gotten home late last night, she had still managed to wake herself up and enjoy the day. She was about to go out when the phone rang. She ran to pick it up before the machine.
"Hello?"
"Hi Gabby?" the voice on the other side said whom she recognized to be Yami.
"Yep! What's up Yami?"
"I was wondering if I could see you tonight."
Gabby thought about it, /I'll have to face him sooner or later, I should probably tell him about Bakura and me/ "Ok when should we meet?"
"There's somewhere I want to take you. So shall I pick you up at say 7PM?"
"Sure. I have to tell you something too. See ya later then." She hung up the phone. /I have finally made my decision/
~~That evening,
Yami arrived at exactly 7PM. He wore his usual outfit. Gabby said Goodbye to her father and left with Yami. The moon was probably out, clouds covered it's bright light. Yami blindfolded Gabby, as they were about to reach their destination. "It's a surprise." He had said.
They had walked a while and all she heard was the sound of waves when Gabby finally asked, "Where are we going?"
"You'll see. We're here!" he said in an excited voice. Gabby felt the blindfold coming off and she opened her eyes. The sight left her awed. The trees were covered in small lights blinking like stars. On the beach were candles flickering in the wind. They spelt, "I love you Gabby." She could feel her heart melt. Yami led her to the beach towel he had laid out and took out the picnic basket he had hidden well.
They sat down to eat. They ate in silence, and then Yami asked, "Did you not have something you wished to speak to me about?" Fear rushed to Gabby's mind. How could she possibly tell Yami that she wanted to be with Bakura after all he had done for her? And worse yet, she had this tingly feeling whenever she was around him.
She decided to force herself to tell him. She turned to face him, "Yami I..." she looked into his eyes and she simply couldn't say it. His eyes bore hope yet foreshadowing of her next words, /Fate why do you toy with me?/ she thought.
"Gabby I know what you are about to tell me." He said in a defeated voice. "I just want you to know that no matter who you choose, I will still love you with all my heart. You are my sun, my moon, my everything.
Gabby felt tears well up in her eyes. /I can't do this/ she got up and ran. She didn't know where she was going, the tears in her eyes blinded her as she ran and ran. She finally stopped when she was tired. She didn't know where to go. She collapsed on the beach and sat there for a while. She looked out onto the waves. They looked so inviting. She got up and headed for the waves that seemed to beckon her.
Yami had chased after her, but lost track after a while. He continued looking. Finally he saw a figure resembling Gabby. But from his distance, she seemed to be walking into the water. /WALKING INTO THE WATER?!/ His mind screamed. He ran towards the figure, hoping he wouldn't be too late.
Her first step into the water was cold and icy, but she didn't seem to feel it. She simply continued walking. Then she felt someone yank her from the numbing that the open water had provided her with. She looked to see a very scared Yami.
"Are you ok?" he asked with fear in his eyes. Then he hugged her, "I thought I had lost you again." He could never go through seeing Gabby die again. Especially not since last time when she had died trying to save him.
"I was so afraid that I had lost you." He whispered softly. Yami kissed Gabby with such passion, she felt like she would die. Her mind told her to push him away, but her heart refused. /Whatever shall I do?/
Yami broke the kiss. He had felt her attempt to push him away, yet she stopped no sooner then she had started. He looked into her eyes. Her eyes were passionate, yet confused and fearful. He could tell that she had feelings for him, even if she did love Bakura.
Tears stained her face as raindrops fell from the sky. Slowly it began to rain harder and harder. Yami simply held Gabby as her tears feel with those from up above. Her tears made him want to change the world so that it would no longer hurt her anymore. Gabby had burried her head in his shoulder while she broke down and cried.
She felt so confused. She no longer understood whom she loved most. The rain fell upon her, and her soul felt as if mountains of worries and cares left her. She felt cleansed by the rain. Nothing mattered, then her mind made a well chose decision. /Maybe you love them both?/ her inner voice suggested. /Maybe I do, but I still have to make a choice/
