Ch 6 Will all go well?

"But there's only one shower, which means one of us will have to wait while the other showers." Ryou stated.

"Why don't you guys shower together?" Mariku suggests innocently.

"I. . . don't know. . ." Ryou starts to protest.

"Why not? It'll be fun. I promise," Bakura says.

Ryou was swept away by his yami before he could protest any further. Bakura started the water and started to strip himself of his clothes. 

"Hurry up Ryou. Unless you want me to tear the clothes off of you," Bakura teased.

Ryou blushed as he hurried in to the shower, with Bakura right behind him.

"Ah, the warmth feels good," the hikari commented as he bathed.

Bakura started to nuzzle Ryou's ears, "Ah, but isn't this better?"

Ryou blushes and nods. While Bakura bathed, Ryou glances at Bakura's well toned-chest and blushes. He looks away, but Bakura caught him doing that and smirks. "Having trouble keeping you eyes off of me hikari?"

Ryou's face goes redder. "I'll take that as a yes," Bakura replied, "You're not so bad yourself."

Ryou was blushing madly now. "Your hair is a mess, Ryou," Bakura said changing the subject.

"So is yours," the hikari pointed out.

"Why don't I wash it for you," Bakura offered.

"Arigato Bakura."

Bakura rubbed some shampoo in his hands and applied it on Ryou's white locks. "Bakura?"

Bakura rinsed his hikari's locks. "Yes Ryou?"

"Did . . . did you kiss me at the hospital?"

This time, it was Bakura's turn to blush, though it was hardly noticeable, "Hai. I did."

Ryou smiled a bit. "Do you want me to wash your hair Bakura?"

"It's ok. You don't have to."

Ryou poured some shampoo on Bakura's hair. "I insist."

"Alright then, if you insist."

"You're too tall, could kneel down?"

"Of course."

Ryou finished rinsing Bakura's hair. "There, now you smell pretty," Ryou teased and chuckled slightly.

Bakura playfully tripped the hikari and caught him. "Bakura?" Ryou whined.

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. You're not escaping me now," Bakura said in a threatening tone.

Ryou gasped and Bakura took the chance to kiss him, surprising Ryou.  The yami explored the hikari with his tongue savoring the sweet taste. After awhile, they broke the kiss.

Ryou smiled enjoying that sweet moment and laid his head on Bakura's shoulder, "Aishiteru Bakura."

"Aishiteru to you too," the yami said to the hikari, "You have a lovely smile. Maybe I should do that more often."

Ryou just smiles as he turns the water off. Bakura stepped out of the shower and dried himself with a towel. Ryou did the same. Then there was a knock on the door. "Hey, you two lovebirds finish goofing around?" Malik mocked.

"What if I said no," countered Bakura.

"And what if I said get the hell out of my bathroom," Mariku rudely said.

"Be nice to the guest," scolded Malik, "We'll have our fun later."

"Yes, be nice to the guest," Bakura taunted as he came of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.

Mariku glared at him. Bakura grinned. Then Ryou came out wrapped in a towel, "Malik, do you think you have any clothes we could borrow? Our clothes are still wet."

"Yeah, follow me," Malik motioned as he headed toward his room.

Ryou followed with Bakura behind leaving Mariku in the hallway.  Malik took out some clothes placed in on the bed. "You guys can pick an outfit, see if it fits."

Ryou looked through all the clothes, "These shirts are all so short."

"No, they're not. They're perfectly fine." Malik replied.

"I think your clothes are too small for me," Bakura said.

"You could go ask Mariku if you could borrow his," Malik said.

Bakura trudged unhappily to Mariku's room. Ryou and Malik chuckled a bit. Then Ryou decided on a white shirt and a pair of black pants, "Could you leave the room while I change?"

"Why? Afraid to change in front of me?" Malik taunted.

"Iie. It's just. . ."

"What's the problem? We're both guys."

Ryou mumbled quietly to himself, "That's the problem."

"It's not like I'm going to do anything."

"Fine," Ryou gave in and unwrapped his towel to change.

"Nice body you have there," Malik teased, "Maybe you should get out in the rain more."

"Malik," complained Ryou and blushed as he changed, "Stop teasing me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The white haired Egyptian knocked on Mariku's door. "Who's there?" came Mariku's voice.

"Who do you think?" Bakura answered.

Mariku opened the door, "What do you want?"

"Your clothes," came Bakura's reply.

"Nani?!?!"

"You heard me," Bakura said and sat on his bed.

"And just why do you think I'd give you my clothes?"

"Believe me, I don't want your clothes. I just need to borrow them."

"What do you want me to do, strip for you?"

"That'd be nice," Bakura joked, "Ra, you're so dense. I don't mean the clothes you have on, I just mean some clothes you have."

"Here," Mariku shoves him some clothes and sat down.

Bakura smirked at his accomplishment. Mariku tried not to gaze at other Egyptian while he changed. Bakura unwrapped his towel and put on the baggy pair of pants, "So how'd you guys find us?"

"We were driving and saw your hikari running in the rain. Malik wanted to know what he was doing out in that weather, so we followed him at a good distance. What were you doing near a cliff?"

"I'd rather not say," Bakura answered uncomfortably as he put on a black shirt and exited Mariku's room.

Then Malik and Ryou walked into the hallway. "Nice outfit Ryou," Bakura complimented.

"Thanks," Ryou replied, "Looks like the rain stopped now. Shall we go home Bakura?"

"Yeah we should," the white haired yami answers, "We'll leave you guys to yourselves."

"Alright, bye you guys," Malik said as he closed the door.

Mariku sneaked up behind and lifted him up on to the couch. "Mariku," Malik whined.

The yami just grinned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Out on the street, two white haired teens walked in the moonlight.

"It's kind of chilly out here," Ryou shivered.

Bakura caressed him, "Better?"

The hikari nods. The two walk in silence. Bakura has much thoughts going through his head as he gazes at his hikari, 'He's beautiful. How could I have been so heartless to hurt him? How could I ever have been so blind?'

Bakura broke the silence, "Ryou, I'm so sorry for ever hurting you. I was so very wrong. I'm so very sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. I promise I'll never do that ever again. I'm so sorry. .'

But Ryou interrupted him, "Shh. It's ok Bakura. It's ok. That's the past now. I already forgave you. Let's just enjoy that we're together now."

"You're right. Sorry," Bakura admittedly said and smiled at his hikari.

When they had reached their house, they stayed out to admire the sky. The stars shined brightly and the moon was out. It was a perfect night.

Ryou leaned on the his shoulder, "You won't leave me again will you?"

"Of course not little one. I'm sorry if I had you worried," Bakura reassured.

"Promise?"

"Promise," Bakura kissed him lightly on the cheek, "Aishiteru my koi."

"Aishiteru Bakura."
