Luineraugwen: This is my first Yu-Gi-Oh story. I wrote it so I had something to enter in a competition, but alas I didn't win. I never win anything. 'Such is life' famous words of Ned Kelly. (I don't know why I wrote that). All the characters are 17 in my story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of the characters. I do own Keiko and the idea of this story.

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

Yugi, Joey, Tea, Tristan and Bakura were all seated around a table at Yugi's house. They were talking about duel cards, school, movies and the latest news, Joey getting dumped by his girlfriend.

"Come on Joey, there are plenty more fish in the sea" Tristan said slapping the disheartened boy on the back. Joey mumbled the words "Mmm, fish" and his stomach growled and everyone laughed.

"Tristan's right Joey. There are probably heaps of pretty girls that would really like to go out with you" Bakura added through his tears of laughter.

"Yeah, well I bet you haven't had a girl tell you your not good enough have you Bakura!" Joey said bitterly.

"Well no I haven't. But there is a girl I like, but I think she has yet to notice that I exist" the white haired boy replied blushing slightly.

"Really who is it?" Joey asked nosily.

"Keiko Nanashi". Bakura was blushing furiously. That, next to his secret about his dark spirit, was the most prized confidential information that he held close to his heart.

'Keiko the cheerleader and most popular person in our class as well as the school!" Joey whined. "I had my eye on her".

"Well, Bakura had way more of a chance with her then you ever will Joey and don't worry Bakura, she has noticed you big time" Tea said smiling.

"Why do you say that?" Yugi asked curiously.

"Keiko told me that she has the biggest crush on Bakura and she has since she first came here" Tea replied patting Bakura on the back.

Bakura just sat there dumbfounded as everyone congratulated him. Keiko was the hottest and most popular girl in school! What did she want with a nobody like him?

"Bakura, you should really ask her out. She likes you, you like her so go for it!" Tristan told the nervous teen.

"I'll think about it" Bakura replied standing up and walking out of the house.

************************************

Bakura walked down the crowded streets. He was having trouble getting Keiko out of his head. He was also wondering if what Tea said was true. It would be great if it was!

"Hey Bakura!". He turned around to see Keiko herself running towards him, her black hair billowing in the gentle breeze.

"Hey" Bakura replied quietly.

"Bakura, could we have a little private talk somewhere not this crowed?" The boy watched as Keiko looked around while her face blushed.

"Sure" the boy replied as he wondered where this was heading.

***************************************

The two teens walked silently through a garden.

"Bakura, I want to tell you something but I'm not sure how" Keiko said quietly and the boy had to lean closer to the girl to hear her.

"Then why don't you just say it" Bakura replied quietly.

"Okay. I've had a bit of a crush on you ever since I first came to Domino High School". The girl's face was scarlet.

Bakura paused for a moment before he slipped his hand into her's. "Keiko, to be completely honest with you, I've felt the same way about you for the same amount of time".

"Really?" Keiko asked and Bakura nodded. The girl suddenly jumped forward and gave Bakura a huge hug.

"Hey Keiko, would you like to go out with me?" he asked when she let go of him.

"I thought you'd never ask" Keiko replied as they walked hand in hand though the rest of the garden.
