Chapter 10: Late Night Visitor

A/N: Hey guys! It's me! Lol! I finally got around to updating this fic! Just a quick few notes before I begin. Ryou Bakura is going to be referred to as Ryou, and Yami Bakura is going to be referred to as Bakura. ^^ Well, that's all! Ja ne! ^^

Téa and Kaiba both bolted upwards.

"What the heck was that?" Kaiba asked groggily as he rubbed his eyes. "It's no wonder I can never get any rest. People are always at my door," he joked.

"Hey, the power's back on," Téa noted as she sat up also. She thought for a moment. "Why would any want to come to your house?" she said aloud, glancing at Kaiba.

Kaiba got up from the bed. "That wasn't a very nice thing to say," he said as he pulled on his shirt. He walked out of the room, and started downstairs. Téa followed, her curiosity mounting with every step.

They had both finally reached the front door, and now stood in front of it, looking at it like it was some sort of sacred shrine.

Téa out her hands in her jean pockets nervously.

Kaiba grinned at her then said, "Let's just hope that it's not an axe murderer." With that said, and Téa as white as a ghost, Kaiba unlocked the door and pulled it open.

Standing there, one totally drenched from the pouring rain, were Ryou and Bakura. Bakura was glaring at the steps, obviously angry about being stuck in the rain.

"Hello," said Ryou politely.

Ryou, for some strange was not wet at all. His hair and clothes were perfectly dry.

Bakura on the other hand, was soaked to the bone. The wet material of his thin shirt clung to him, showing off every angle of his chest and stomach.

Téa and Kaiba continued to stare at Ryou and Bakura, completely oblivious to other surroundings.

Ryou shifted on uncomfortably while his darker half cleared his throat.

Finally, Téa snapped out of her little trance. "What are you doing here, guys?" she asked.

"We got caught in the storm, and Kaiba's place happened to be the closest," Bakura grunted. He sneezed.

"Well, come in," Kaiba said uncertainly. He really did not like Ryou's other half. Bakura had always freaked Kaiba out to a point where he thought he might start cowering in a corner. He was especially scared when he remembered what Yugi had told him about Bakura. How he had tried to snatch Mokuba's body and all. Kaiba shuddered momentarily.

Ryou and Bakura stepped in, and Kaiba gently shut the door.

"Nice place, Kaiba," said Ryou cheerily. He looked at Téa as if seeing her for the first time. "What are you doing here, Téa?" He gave her a suspicious look.

Téa rolled her eyes and looked at Ryou. "It's none of your business," she said with an edge to her voice.

"Um, okay. Sorry for asking," Ryou apologized.

Bakura gave Téa a slightly annoyed look. He didn't like it when Ryou wasn't talked to kindly.

"So." said Kaiba, trying to break the tension in the air.

Bakura shivered slightly and wrapped his arms around himself. He was friken cold.

Téa stared at the heavy, dark bags under Bakura's eyes. Yeesh, when was the last time he had sleep? 'Probably 5000 years ago,' she thought, answering her own question, and giggling mentally.

"Téa, why don't you take Bakura upstairs and get him a new change of clothes?" said Kaiba uncertainly. "I'll show Ryou around while you do that."

Ryou just nodded, fore he appeared to be lost in thought.

"Fine," said Téa sighing. "Right this way, Bakura dear," she said in a mock tone.

Bakura glared but followed Téa up the stairs.

Once in the safety of the room Téa was staying in, Téa looked at Bakura questioningly. "How did you end up getting caught in the storm?" she demanded.

"I just did," Bakura snapped.

"Why won't you tell me?" Téa said shuffling through a closet.

Bakura glared at her back. "I don't feel like it, so stop pushing."

"Fine," said Téa turning around to face him. "Then how come Ryou has not one drop of water on him, but you have more than several?"

Bakura's cheeks flushed red at this. "It's none of your business," he said, sounding like Téa earlier.

"Fine, whatever," Téa said. She threw a baggy black hoody and a pair of jeans at Bakura. "Those should work for now."

Bakura looked at the clothes. "Kaiba actually keeps clothes like this here?"

Téa shrugged. "I guess so."

Bakura began to pull his shirt off with Téa still in the room.

Téa rolled her eyes as he tossed it to the ground. "Like putting on a show, do you?"

Bakura just laughed at her. It wasn't a nice laugh either. It was one of those freaky 'I'm psychotic' laughs. "No," he said edgily. "You're still standing there, and I don't like waiting, so what the hell?"

Téa glared at him and turned around, as Bakura was pulling off his pants.

Bakura stretched, once fully dressed. 'Damn mortals,' he thought. 'I ought to give her a reason to glare. Sorry Ryou,' said Bakura apologizing mentally.

Téa looked at Bakura, about to say something to him, when she found herself pushed up against a wall. "Hey!" she cried out angrily.

Bakura's eyes flashed maliciously as he continued to press Téa against the wall.

"Bakura, get the hell off me," she said through gritted teeth. "Or I'll scream, I really will."

Bakura silenced Téa with a kiss. 'The Kiss of Death,' or so it seemed.

Téa put her hands on his chest and pushed Bakura away from her. "Why the hell did you do that?" Téa asked, wiping her mouth with her sleeve vigorously.

The sexy Albino smirked at her and replied, "I felt like it."

Téa gaped at him. "Just who the hell do you think you are, anyway?" she demanded.

"The Devil," Bakura replied.

"Well, I knew that," said Téa in an annoyed voice.

Bakura's eyes continued to glint mysteriously. "You didn't like my little kiss?" said Bakura, sticking out his bottom lip, forming a pout.

"Hell, no," replied Téa.

"Why?" Bakura pushed.

"I'm dating Kaiba, you jerk!" said Téa. 'Or at least I think,' she thought.

Bakura's eyes widened in surprise, then narrowed dangerously. "I guess that's why you're here," he said, his voice revealing some bitterness.

Téa was about ask what his problem was, when a strangled cry rang throughout the big house.

"Bakura! Help me! He's going to kill me!"

It was Ryou's voice.
