Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or anything to do with it and I never will. If u recognise anything out of a movie/ book etc, they belong to their rightful owners. I do own Keiko and the idea of this story.
I've added a bit of current things to the story. Eg movies etc. I'm also referring to Bakura's dark spirit as Ryou for the story until I decide on a name for him. Ideas welcome. Must sound Egyptian. E-mail me your ideas.
Note to all readers: I apologise about the summary, it hints more at the future chapters than the current ones. The first few will be when Bakura and Keiko are going out but I should start writing the story like the summary in either chapter 4 or 5. Besides, I only wrote the summary when I uploaded the 1st Chappie and that was a long time after I wrote the chapters that follow. Sorry.

Bakura stood quietly outside Keiko's front door. He was a nervous wreck. He was shaking so badly that one or two petals from the rose he carried fell off. The teen was dressed casually but neatly. Bakura's mouth was dry but he somehow managed to swallow, take a step forward and knock on the door. A few seconds latter a middle- aged man or older, opened the door. He was of a thick build and looked quite strong.
"Ah, you must be Bakura. Do come inside. Keiko will be down in a minute" the man said letting the boy inside. Keiko's fathers led Bakura into the lounge room and offered him a seat and he introduced himself as Dr Steven Nanashi. Bakura marvelled at the huge cases filled with books. From what he could see most were Egyptian but records of other ancient cultures loomed on the shelves.
"I have many other books in my study. I could show you if you like" the man said standing up and leaning the way towards his study.
Steven looked over his shoulder and watched Bakura stare at some of the artefacts that lined the walls. "Your quiet aren't you. A bit nervous, eh?". Bakura nodded. "Well there is nothing to worry about. Unlike some other fathers, I don't bite. I'm just glad to see that Keiko hasn't followed her sister's example and has chosen a nice looking young man instead of the hooligans Sabrina brought home" the man said smiling.
"Thank you but the real thing that's got me is why your daughter chose me and not some big honcho from school" Bakura confessed.
"That's easy. Keiko maybe the most popular person at school but she doesn't like being the centre of attention. I think she'd rather just be a normal kid at school. Keiko puts up all these facades to fit in. For her, being new to the school is hard and she wants to fit in. Besides, she doesn't some big tough guy for a boyfriends because they're idiots or so she says" Steven replied.
"That's not the only reason father. All the popular guys at school have tried to impress me and I've concluded that not only are they idiots, that they are brainless, stupid, up themselves way too much, have egos the size of the universe plus they think they're the best thing since sliced bread and my list could go on and on. But the truth is, I don't like try hards like them, I prefer the quiet type" Keiko said as she surprised the two by walking up behind them.
Keiko wore cream coloured cargo pants and a short sleeve bright blue top. Her black hair hung loosely down her back. She wore very little make-up but then again she never wore the stuff, so this would be deemed a special occasion.
"For you" Bakura said taking a step forwards and giving her the rose.
Keiko took the rose from his hand, being careful not to get pricked by the thorns. She lifted the rose to he nose and smelt it. The aroma was sweet and beautiful. "Only a true gentleman gives a girl a rose these days" she said as she took the rose away from her nose and looked Bakura, who was blushing, in the eye.
"I was just about to show Bakura the study. Do you still have enough time for me to do that?" Steven asked.
"Of course. You can show him the study while I put this rose in a vase then perhaps we shall leave" she replied and Bakura followed the man to the study that was filled with huge cases of books, books and more books. A computer and a fireplace also occupied the room. The two talked to history and other civilised things until Keiko came back.
"Looks like it's time for you two to go" Steven said and walked with them to the door.
"What time should I bring your daughter back, sir?" Bakura asked .
"Sometime before midnight. She has to get up early tomorrow" the man replied casually. He grabbed the keys off the table and threw them to Keiko, who caught them. "Drive safe" he said before giving his daughter a kiss on the forehead and shaking Bakura's hand.
"I will father, don't worry" Keiko said as Bakura opened the door for her and they walked out.
"Your father lets you drive a car!" Bakura said in surprise as they walked towards the garage.
"I've got a license and of course he lets me drive the car, as long as it's my car. I'm not allowed drive dad's" Keiko replied opening the car doors and jumping in. Bakura did the same.
The two had decided that they would go and have Chinese for dinner and then go and see 'Pirates Of The Carribean' and 'X Men 2'.
So, for the next hour they ate, talked, ran into Yugi and Tea, who were also going to the movies and finally went to the cinema. They brought popcorn and drinks, and along with their two friends, went to find seats and settle down to watch X Men 2.
After the movie, they still had half an hour before the other one started. Bakura and Keiko would be watching that one on their own, as Yugi had to get Tea home before 10 o'clock. For the next half hour they stood around talking. The two girls stood a few feet away from the boys talking about their own things.
"So, how is your night going, Bakura?" Yugi asked.
"Great, I was nervous when I arrived on her doorstep but now I'm quite relaxed in her company" Bakura replied as he and Keiko exchanged glances for a second.
Yugi leaned closer and whispered "Have you told her about Ryou yet?".
"Of course not. That'll probably scare her away knowing that I have dark Egyptian spirit that can posses me and I don't want to lose her" Bakura hissed.
"That was the first thing I told Tea when we started going out and she took it quite well" Yugi replied.
"Maybe, but you have to remember that Tea saw all those weird things on Pegasus's island and as well as witnessing a few of the things Ryou did. With us both transforming, she would of had to suspect something" Bakura explained.
"Your right, she did say she suspected something" the other boy said. "But keep in mind, you should tell her just in case Ryou decides to some out and play while she's around. It's better for her to know in case something happens".
"I guess your right" Bakura said as the girls rejoined the two boys.
"Well I better take you home before your dad has a fit, eh Tea" Yugi said and they waved and left Bakura and Keiko alone in the foyer.
"It's about time for the next one, we'd better get the seats. I heard it's going to be packed tonight" Keiko suggested and Bakura nodded and led the way.
They managed to get the seats they wanted and it turned out that Keiko had been right, it was packed tonight.
Sometime during the movie, Keiko put her head on Bakura's shoulder and kept it there. Bakura, unsure whether putting an arm around her would be pushing it to far, hesitated until Keiko looked up and gave him a questioning look. Bakura smiled and put his arm around her should and she put her head on his shoulder again, a quiet smile on her lips.
They finally emerged out of the cinema at 12:05. "We'd better get you home. Your already 5 minutes late" Bakura said and noticing that his date was shivering in the cool breeze, he took his jacket off and wrapped it around her. "That was silly of you to not bring a jacket".
"It really didn't cross my mind" she replied as she reached for her car keys and inserting them in the lock. Bakura took one look at the cinema and jumped in the car.
15 minutes later the two drove into the driveway and Keiko parked her car in the garage.
They walked silently up to the doorstep, hand in hand. The two didn't notice Steven looking throughout the curtains at them.
"I had a great night. Thank you Bakura" Keiko whispered and closed the distance between them so she could gently kiss him on the cheek. A smile played on her lips as she saw the surprise on his face.
"I.. It was my pleasure Keiko. I hope we can do it again some time" the boy replied kissing her hand. He didn't take his eyes off her, she was too beautiful in the moonlight, just like an angel. Oh God, why did he have to leave?
Keiko unzipped the jacket from her body and gave it back to Bakura. "That would be very nice. I can't wait" she said and gave him a hug. "You had best leave. Your father would be wondering where you are".
"Good idea" Bakura replied taking the garment and slinging it over his shoulder and returning the hug, making sure he didn't go below the waist. "Goodbye" he whispered into her ear and slowly parted.
He walked down the steps and took one fleeting looking back at the woman he loved. She was still watching him so he waved and continued to walk home, which was only a few houses away.
