Who put the X in sex? pt. 1
(At the record release party later that evening)
***
Hey Ishtar! Did the girls get here yet? Ryou yelled over the clamor backstage.
WHAT? Did the Bills win the Superbowl? No, I don't think so Marik yelled back.
Ryou rolled his eyes. He tried yelling even louder over all the racket in the hallway.
No dumb-dumb! Did the girls show up yet, you know, your wife and my girlfriend?
Marik shook his no, OH! No, I haven't seen them. Care said she had to stop at the hotel
she's staying at to pick up something. I'm sure they'll be here soon.
Ryou let out a frustrated sigh.
//Are you thinking what I'm thinking?// Bakura questioned Ryou from the confines of his
soul room.
//I don't know, maybe. Are you thinking the Bills will never see a Superbowl?//
//Um....No....that's not what I was thinking. Stupid vessel......What I was thinking is how
bored I am in here.//
//Yeah? So?// Ryou chortled.
//I'm going to go wander go around.//
//You can't do that, I don't want you to scare my fans away// Ryou protested.
Bakura ignored Ryou's comment and left his soul room, materializing behind Ryou.
Much better. Hey Marik, tell Malik to get his ass out here.
Ryou reached back and wacked Bakura in the arm with the hairbrush.
No! You and Malik cause to much trouble out on your own
You wanted me? Malik ask as he reflection appeared in the mirror
Gah! DON't do anything stupid, got that? Ryou hissed as he went back to brushing his
hair.
***
Tany turned to look at the clock on the wall.
We're gonna be late, I know it.
Caroline grabbed a bottle of hairspray and shook it.
Hold still, I'm almost done. Don't worry about it, the club is only 5 minutes from here
Caroline put the finishing touches on Tany's hair and stood back.
she said proudly.
Tany got up and looked in the mirror.
Oh my god! What have you done to me! she shrieked as he ran her fingers through her
hair.
Caroline grabbed a tube of lipstick out of her bag and grinned.
What? I think it looks great!
Tany examined her new hair style closely in the mirror.
Yeah, it does. I'm just not used to having flat hair.
Caroline tossed her lipstick into her purse and grabbed her keys.
The guys are going to flip when they see us
Tany nodded her head and followed Caroline out of the hotel room.
No doubt
***
Psst, Malik....look over here Bakura said quietly.
Malik sided up to Bakura and peered out the backstage door.
What? I don't see anything
Over there, dumbass! Bakura pointed out four shady characters standing between two
parked cars.
Holy Amun........what the hell are they doing here? Malik gaped at the four members of
Esoteric standing in the shadows.
Bakura closed the backstage door slowly and turned back to Malik.
Something doesn't feel right.
Malik waved his hand in the air, dismissing Bakura's concern
They don't scare me. Think about it Bakura, Ryou and Marik don't act the same off
stage as they do onstage, and I'm willing to bet it's the same deal with Esoteric. They
probably dress like they do to get attention.
A low growl escaped Bakura's pale lips.
I don't care what they wear. It's how they act that bothers me. If anybody is an expert on
the occult here, it's me. I know the ins and outs of the metaphysical world. When our
lights were sitting at the same table as those guys, my senses were overcome with the
presence of shadow magic.
Malik pondered Bakura's words. He hadn't been paying attention during the meeting
Bakura was referring to. He was too busy feeling sorry for himself in his soulroom.
I can't say I noticed he replied.
We best tell our lights of what we have just seen, just incase I'm right. Bakura said
briskly.
Malik shrugged his shoulders.
I guess

Caroline and Tany arrived at the club minutes after the show had started. They hurried off
Caroline's motorcycle and started running for the backstage door.
a man yelled from behind them.
Caroline and Tany froze in their tracks and turned around.
WHAT!' Caroline yelled back.
A man dressed in all black emerged from the darkness.
Tany gaped.
Caroline looked at her strangely.
Ammut? That's a funny name
Tany gave Caroline a wary glare.
He's in one of the opening bands.....he gives me the creeps
Anubis approached the two girls and smiled wickedly.
Good evening.......ladies he said in a low, almost spooky voice. Tany shuddered at his
tone.
Is there a problem? she asked nervously.
Anubis shook his head.
Not at all. You are here for the show, yes?
Caroline stood up straight and looked directly into the strangers eyes.
Yeah, so? What's your point?
Anubis widened his eyes at her harsh tone of voice.
Ah yes, you must be the dauntless wife if Marik Ishtar.
Caroline grinned smugly.
Maybe. Who the hell are you?
Anubis reached out and took her hand into his own.
I am Ammut. Pleased to make your acquaintance.....Mrs. Ishtar.
Caroline seemed mesmerized with his eyes. She gazed into them like she was under some
sort of magical spell. Tany watched on nervously as Ammut kissed the top of Caroline's
hand. She just stared at him in silence.
I look forward to seeing you on the tour. he purred as he took her other hand into his.
Caroline nodded her head slowly.
I-I-I'm not.....not going along.
Anubis laced his fingers around Caroline's and pulled her closer to him.
No? May I ask why.....my dear?
Caroline never took her eyes off of him.
Anubis chuckled softly.
Egypt is very beautiful...it's full of intrigue and mystery.....much like yourself.
Caroline smiled, but she seemed in a daze. Anubis reached up and ran his fingers down her
cheek, eventually brushing his thumb across her slightly parted lips. Caroline closed her
eyes and let a whimper escape her throat. Anubis pulled her even closer to him, just so
that their bodies were touching.
Such a shame, I was hoping to see -more- of you. Anubis tipped her chin up gently and
looked down at her with his cold, dark eyes. Caroline ran her fingers down the middle of
his chest, stopping just above the bottom to his tight, black jeans.
I'll visit when I can she sighed as Anubis's touch sent shockwaves through her body.
Anubis leaned down and pressed his cold lips against Caroline's warm mouth. He kissed
her very lightly at first, but as he tasted the warmth of her mouth, he began to kiss her
more ardently. Tany couldn't tell if Caroline was kissing him back or not. Anubis's long,
black hair fell in waves over both their faces, shielding Tany from view of their exchange.
Anubis slowly pulled away, prompting a very quiet whimper of protest from Caroline.
I certainly look forward to that he spoke smoothly as he moved back slowly, holding
both Caroline's hands.
Tany didn't like what was going on infront of her. She grabbed Caroline's arm and yanked
her forcefully from the grip of Anubis.
We need to go, NOW. she stated firmly.
Caroline whimpered as she was separated from Anubis's touch.
Tany rolled her eyes.
she scoffed as she dragged Caroline into the building. Caroline went with
her, but continued to stare back at Ammut lustfully.
Once they were inside, Tany pulled Caroline backstage and smacked her upside the head.
What the hell was that about! she said sharply.
Caroline shook her head, still in somewhat of a daze.
I-I........don't know. Oh my gods, that guy, he's......I don't know.....mesmerizing!
Tany rolled her eyes.
He's a creepy fucking weirdo Caroline. Are you losing you marbles?
Caroline shook her head to try and clear her mind.
Maybe.....fuck. Where's Marik?
Tany pointed to the stage.
I told you we were going to be late. They're already on.
Caroline made a contrite face as she head Marik singing the final lyrics to their opening
song Ring of Fire. It was a song Ryou wrote one night when he was in a particularly bad
mood because a certain spirit of the ring had a man eater bug up his ass.
Oh...shit. Sorry....
Tany shook her head in disgust at Caroline, who wasn't really paying attention.
***
Hey! girls!(insert high pitched whistle)! Bakura yelled as he caught sight of Tany and
Caroline sidestage.
Tany smiled brightly as he approached.
Glad you made it, did you see Malik anywhere? he ask as he approached.
His gaze fixed on Tany's new hair style.
Uh....what's up with your hair? he ask as he touched her altered flat locks.
she said, pointing at Caroline. Said it's what's in' out here. Tany snapped
sharply.
Bakura smiled at Caroline, who just stood leaning with her back against the wall
apathetically.
I like it, it's nice Bakura said with a slight smile. He lowered his voice and whispered to
Tany.
What's up with her? She on dope or something? Why is she all spacey-like?
Tany made a sour face and snarled.
That weirdo-guy from that Esoteric group was putting the moves on her outside, that
guy totally freaks me out Bakura.....I don't like him at ALL!
Bakura nodded his head.
I have my suspicions too. From now on, we need to keep a sharp eye on him.
Tany shook her head in agreement.
You should have seen him outside! He was practically fucking her. It was fucking
obscene! she exclaimed vehemently.
Bakura looked back at Caroline and shook his head slowly.
And she was responding to him?
Tany nodded her head.
It was like he put a spell on her. I made me want to barf.
I wouldn't be surprised if it IS a spell of some sort. I was just telling Malik I sensed
shadow powers
Talking about me again Bakura? Malik ask as he walked up and joined them.
Yeah, I was actually. Tany and your woman just had a run in with your buddy Ammut.
Malik shrugged his shoulders,
Yeah? So what?
He was all over your little vamp over there Bakura said with a hint of enjoyment.
Malik puffed up his chest and tried looking tough.
Oh yeah? Well I'm just going to have to go kick his ass
Go for it, just be back in time for the encore. Bakura grinned evilly.
Malik stomped off in search of the man he thought was named Ammut, ready to tear him
up if he saw him.
Bakura waved his hand infront of Caroline's face.
You-hoo...anybody home? he jested.
Caroline blinked her eyes a few times and snapped out of her daze.
Oh......hi Bakura. She said with a nervous laugh.
Bakura pointed up at the stage where Marik had just begun their third song, Suck it and
See
he scolded her.
Holy shit Tany gasp as Marik started thrusting his hips seductively along with the song.
Bakura covered his eyes.
Oh gods please he groaned at the sight of Mariks suggestive pelvic movements
Marik sent hearts racing as he chimed the chorus,
She said suck it and see........it was all new to me........all in a young childs
dream..........She said suck it and see......can't be happening to me..........but it's good, if
you know, what I meeeeean.
Caroline peeked over Bakura's spiky white hair with wide eyes. She took a few steps
closer to get a better view of the stage.
Holy shit...*gulp*....that's hot she spoke slowly as she grabbed onto a railing infront of
her for support.
Marik caught sight of her looking and him. He grinned playfully as he pointed directly at
her and winked.
Caroline chuckled and blew him a kiss.
Marik was having a blast on stage. One by one, fan girls were passing out from all the
excitement Marik was stirring up.
Not even his own wife was immune to his alluring conduct. He did an enticing little
groove with his microphone stand that got the best of her.
Bakura......fuck.......catch me she sighed as she fell back and fainted into Bakura's arms.
Tany laughed as she noticed Bakura's bewildered expression.
Take her to the dressing room Tany chuckled. I'll meet you after the show......I need to
find Kaiba and talk to him about something
Bakura nodded his head and carried a passed out Caroline to the dressingroom.
