Alien Demon: Just to let people know, Malik is the Yami and Marik is the hikari. I know people have it the other way around, but in the dub version of the show, you always hear the characters call the lighter half Marik.

If you guys have any other questions, feel free to ask and I'll answer them the best I can. Sorry if I confused anyone!

Once again it was raining in the city of Domino. Téa yawned out of pure boredom. There was nothing to really do. So she decided to do the next best thing. That was to get up and go take a walk in the pouring down rain. She put on her rain jacket and her sneakers. She opened the door and walked out. It was slightly chilly and the rain wasn't to warm either. It was icy cold.

She walked down the street towards where the park was. In only about 5 minutes, she arrived. She entered the deserted place and walked towards the center of the park. Téa wasn't expecting to see anyone on this gloomy day, but there by the fountain was a white haired boy. Téa walked slowly not sure if it was Ryou or Bakura in since the figure's back was facing her. She was soon close enough to reach a hand out and turn the person around. That's exactly what she did. She came face to face with the person.

"Bakura? What are you doing here?" She asked. She took a step back. He stared at her with those brown eyes that always managed to make her heart skip a beat.

"Nothing really, I was just bored." He responded. "What are you doing out here? You could get sick."

"I'm out here because I was bored as well. You can get sick to you know." She pointed out to him. He just shrugged. He could care less about himself at this point. He was more worried about her.

"So what are you doing tonight?" Bakura couldn't think of anything to say or ask. Well nothing that could probably break the silence.

"Nothing really. Why?" A loud crash of thunder caused her to jump slightly. Bakura watched her in amusement.

"Maybe we should leave." He suggested. It was the right time too because at that exact moment, the rain came down pretty hard along with small pieces of hail.

Bakura grabbed on to her hand and ran all the way to his house. She followed him, though she didn't really have a choice at the moment. They arrived at his and Ryou's house. Bakura unlocked the door and allowed Téa to enter before himself. He shut the door and locked it.

"Let me grab us some towels. You can go ahead and sit in the living room if you would like." He said motioning to the room by the doorway. She smiled at him and did so.

Bakura quickly went up the stairs and went to his bathroom. He pulled out some towels and went back into his room. He opened the closet and pulled out two blankets. While he was there, he changed into a baggy white t-shirt and some pajama bottoms. He grabbed some smaller ones, which he out grew, for Téa. Finally he went back downstairs and handed the items to her.

"I got you some dry clothes that you can change into. It beats being in wet ones." He said. "You can go ahead and change in my room if you wish. It's up the stairs and the second door to the left."

"Thanks, Bakura." She gave him a small sweet smile before walking up the stairs.

BAKURA'S ROOM

Téa opened the door to his room and switched on the light. She looked around the room and, to her surprise, it was actually clean. His walls were black and a dark navy blue. He had a desk, a double sized bed with a black comforter and blue pillows, a tall dresser, and a long short dresser. There was a door that she assumed was his closet. Over all, his room was pretty simple.

She stopped looking around and took off her wet clothes, She dried off her body and changed into the clothes Bakura handed her. Then she made her way down the stairs at long last.

THE LIVING ROOM

She looked over to where Bakura was. It appeared that he was trying to build a fire but with no success. She silently giggled at his frustration. He was now mumbling in Egyptian. Most likely cussing the supplies out.

Téa casually walked over towards him and sat next to him. She stuffed some newspaper under the firewood rack. She then took some of the wood and sat it on top. She grabbed the matches and lit the newspaper. Soon enough there was a blazing fire.

Bakura stared at the girl in utter shock, but quickly recovered.

"Where did you learn to do that?"

"My dad taught me when I was younger. He said it could come in handy one day." She replied truthfully.

"Oh. Where are they, your parents?" He asked. Curiosity had gotten the best of him.

"There on another one of their stupid business trips."

"Oh." A few seconds of silence passed before he spoke again. "I was going to go make some tea. Did you want any?"

"Yes please. If it won't be to much trouble that is." She asked politely. He smiled down at her.

"No, it won't be any trouble at all." Bakura stood up and walked into the kitchen to start making the tea.

BAKURA'S POV

Gosh Téa looked so cute when she was wet. And her smile is so beautiful! No wonder I'm in love with her. I truly do hope I get her. I don't really know what I would do if I couldn't have her. I just wonder what she thinks of me...what does she even think of me?!?

Guess I'll have to find out when I tell her. I think I might even tell her tonight.

Téa's POV

I think I'm starting to fall for Bakura even more now. He's always so nice to me now. He helped me out of that storm and let me borrow his clothes. I knew he had a heart in there and that he was never always that bad. Plus he's cute, strong, and most likely protective.

But there is always Marik...though I would have to say it wouldn't really work out. And Malik? I'm not even going to go there.

Bakura's back. Man, does that tea smell good!

NORMAL POV

Bakura sat the mugs down on the coffee table, in front of the couch, which was in front of the fireplace. There was a bright flash of lightening, which was followed, of course, by a loud crack of thunder. That's when the power happened to go out. Téa jumped slightly before she clung onto Bakura.

A bright blush crossed his cheeks as he looked at the girl. She had her eyes tightly closed. He smiled to himself. He had to have been the luckiest evil guy there was at that moment. He wrapped his arms comfortingly around Téa's slim waist.

Téa realized whom she was clinging on to. A blush from embarrassment, and because she started to realize that she was falling for him, spread across her cheeks.

The fire's flames flickered and danced giving the room a soft glow perfect for kissing, hugging, cuddling-

THUMP! BANG! "Owww!" A British voice yelled out. Bakura got an agitated expression on his once happy and relaxed face. He mumbled something about how clumsy and weak Ryou was.

Bakura stood up after Téa had let go of him.

"I'm going to go find mini-me Britt boy and make sure he hasn't killed himself yet. So you can either come along or wait her." His voice became gentle when he gave her her choices. A crash of thunder slightly shook the house causing Téa to jump once more. Bakura smirked on the inside knowing her decision.

"I think I'll come with you if you don't mind." Téa said.

"Not at all." He grabbed hold of her hand in a reassuring way. But the way he held it was different. Possibly in a...loving way? Téa wasn't sure but she held his hand back, giving it a squeeze when she heard thunder. Bakura would then squeeze it back as if trying to say, "Don't worry, I'm here and nothing will happen".

After climbing the stairs, they were finally on the second level.

"Ryou, where are you?" Though it wasn't very noticeable, Téa was able to pick up a hint of worry.

"I'm in my room. I think I sprained my ankle." Ryou said in that adorable accent of his. Bakura and Téa made their way down the hall to where Ryou's room was. Bakura looked down at the lump on the floor he assumed was Ryou.

"Is that lump on the floor you?" Bakura asked dully. Ryou just sweat dropped at that comment.

"I suppose so."

"What do you mean you "Suppose so"?" Bakura's patience was wearing thin.

"Yes then." He replied. Oh how annoying his yami could be!

"I'll let that comment slide since you're hurt. Can you at least stand?" Ryou struggled to get up. He ended up falling down after a sharp pain shot through his ankle.

"Umm no." Ryou answered. Bakura gave out a silent sigh. He helped Ryou balance on one leg. He wrapped his one arm around Ryou's middle. Ryou put his arm around Bakura's neck to help even out the weight. They both walked down the stairs, well Ryou hopped, while Téa followed behind them.

Téa took two of the couch pillows and stack them on top one another. She stuck the pile near the end of the couch. Ryou sat on the couch and propped his foot upon the pillow. She removed his sock to examine his ankle. It was swollen and red.

"Bakura, could you get me some gauze and a bag of frozen vegetables?" He nodded and left the room. He shortly returned with the requested items and handed them to her.

She wrapped Ryou's ankle up tightly and stuck the frozen vegetables on his ankle.

"You might want to stay off that foot for a few days."

"Okay. Thanks a bunch, Téa!" Ryou gave her a sweet smile.

"No problem." She returned the smile. Bakura couldn't stand the way Ryou was acting towards Téa. It was his soon to be girlfriend! Not Ryou's!

'Great! Now I'm getting jealous!' Bakura thought to himself.

"Ummm I hope I wasn't interrupting anything." Ryou said breaking the silence.

"No you didn't. So stop worrying." Téa replied.

"So what were you doing, mates?"

"Just talking was all." She said. She sat on the floor, her back towards the fire. She grabbed a mug of tea and took a sip.

"What mad you come over?" He asked politely. He cocked his head to the side in a cute manner.

"I got caught in the storm with Bakura so he bought me home with him." She took another sip of the lukewarm liquid. Bakura grabbed his mug and began sipping it as well. He sat down next to Téa and began to relax once more.

The three of them stayed up for a few hours talking before Ryou fell asleep. A yawn escaped from Téa's lips.

Bakura stood up and draped his blanket over Ryou. He turned to face Téa and spoke; "You're more than welcomed to stay the night, considering that it's 12:42. You can sleep in Ryou's room tonight.

She stood up and stretched.

"Thanks, Bakura." She smiled at him. They walked up the stairs and were soon standing in the doorway leading into Ryou's room. "Bakura may I ask you something?"

"Go ahead and ask away."

"Why are you being so nice to me? You usually are so cold and mean to everyone, including me. But you've changed. Why is that?" She asked curiously.

Bakura took a few moments to figure out a lie to tell her, but failed. 'Guess I'll have to tell the truth.' He thought.

"It's because...I'm in love with you." He said blushing like mad. "It just wouldn't seem right to be so mean to you..."

Téa had a bright blush on her cheeks. Bakura waited for the rejection to come. But it never did.

"I think I'm starting to fall in love with you too." She said. Bakura snapped his head towards her direction.

"Seriously?"

"Seriously." She replied. Bakura couldn't hold back any longer. He bent down and kissed her softly on the lips. She responded by kissing him back. They managed to make it down the hall and into his room. He shut the door and laid her down on his bed. He looked at her lovingly and lay down beside her. He wrapped his arms around her waist. Bakura pulled her body closer to his. She had her hands resting upon his. A smile of contentment formed on her lips.

"I love you." Bakura whispered softly in her ear.

"I love you too, Bakura." She whispered back. The duo fell asleep shortly after.
