God the Grand (e): Salutations!

Gandalf: Yes, we still don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!

Greebo the dragon: But dance and enjoy anyways! Muah!

.:....:.

I laugh as Ryou gets creamed again t some racing game on play station.

"Whipped again! You know Ryou; you really suck at this video game…" Marik states, looking up from the floor at him. Ryou pouts.

"Aw, don't make fun Marik, Ryou's good at a lot of other things." I say giving Ryou a suggestive grin. His mouth gapes open.

"Bakura!" He says, blushing, and giving me a small, playful slap on the shoulder.

The front door bursts open, the bustling of footsteps apparent.

Ryou, Marik and I turn our heads to the hall and see a slim, blonde figure making itself known.

He blinks large lilac eyes; a huge grin spreading over his face as he charges at the maroon couch Ryou and I are sitting on.

"KURA!!!" He exclaims, toppling over and clinging onto me. I laugh and hug him back.

"See Marik, I told you Malik always liked me better!" I joke, grinning. Malik smiles and bonks my head.

"Only in your dreams crack head." Malik retorts. I grin. Malik always did like that nickname for me. Marik jumps on us.

"Sex pile!" He hollers, squeezing us both. We all snicker, and then I remember something. I tilt my head to the side and peer at Ryou, who looks timid and puzzled. I reach over and yank him towards us.

"And Malik, this I-" Before I can finish my sentence, Malik has scrambled out of our arms and latches to Ryou.

"Ryou, hi!" He chirps. Ryou's cheeks tinge pink, emerald eyes widening in surprise.

"Eh…hi." He says softly, hugging back. Malik pulls away, smiling.

"Aw, Bakura's right, you are quite the peach!" He says, giving Ryou a small peck on the cheek. I glare. No one kisses my Ryou but me! ME, ME, ME!

"Wow Malik, I think you've gotten further with Ryou than Bakura has!" Marik chortles, smirking as he takes a seat back on the floor, criss-crossed. Malik laughs.

"It's nice to finally meet you! Bakura's told us all about you, we're glad he finally found someone who he truly adores." Malik says merrily. I feel heat rising to my cheeks. I do NOT adore him… well, actually I do. Ryou smiles slightly.

"I've been wanting to meet you too." He says sweetly. He furrows a silvery eyebrow. "Is being a peach good?" Marik snorts.

"Means in Malik lango, you're adorable." Marik informs, yanking said blonde teen in his lap. Malik gives Marik a beam and closes his eyes, giving Marik a small kiss.

"By the way Bakura, sorry I couldn't make it to the airport. But you know how Isis is about my piano, violin, and fencing lessons." He says with a sigh.

"It's a wonder Isis still lets you go to violin lessons after what happened with your last teacher." I say, giving him an amused glare. Ryou blinks, glancing over at me.

"What happened?" Marik chuckles and Malik blushes slightly.

"Well… my teacher left the room for a few minutes and Marik was making me horny… so helped me out." Malik said simply, scratching his head nervously.

"In other words, Marik was giving Malik head, and got caught in the middle of it." I finish, grinning. Ryou gasps.

"What'd the teacher do?"

"Asked if he could join! Of course, Marik and I were creeped out that a middle-aged man would ask to join to teens. I fake cried and told Isis he tried to hit on my, by touching my leg. She freaked on him and he cowers when he sees her now. She switched me teachers and is still clueless to what really went on!" Malik said, resting his head on Marik's shoulder.

"Wow…" Ryou trails off, shaking his white locks. My arms suddenly need something to mess with, so I scoot closer to Ryou and wrap my arm around his waist. I can feel him tensing up, so I move my hand to his shoulders and give his kept white mane a tousle. Malik laughs as he's picked up by Marik.

"Drink run!" They announce, hurrying to the kitchen. Once they're out of sight, Ryou leans his head against my shoulder ands looks up to me.

"Thanks Bakura, I…I'm just not comfortable being so…touchy around them yet." He whispers regretfully. I wave a hand.

"No Ryou, it's ok! I won't do anything you don't want to." I say, twirling some of his hair around my finger. He smiles and gives me a quick peck on the cheek.

"Aw! You guy are so cute!" Malik gushes, snickering as he hops over, water bottle in hand. Ryou hides his face in his hands. I snicker and rub his back.

"Aren't we though?" I muse, looking over to the two of them.

"Yes! And you know Bakura, Summer's been asking about you." Malik chides casually, taking a sip of his water. I blink. What does that ho watch?

"S-Summer? Wasn't that your old girlfriend?" Ryou pipes up, looking over at me. I nod.

"Yes… but she's way old news, she should know that."

"Ah. She claims you never dumped her, and that she was heading over to your place this summer or something." Marik says, staring at me. I take my arm off Ryou's shoulder and cross my arms.

"Oh whatever! Summer isn't coming anywhere within a hundred mile radius of my house!" I shout, scowling. I haven't even talked to her in two freaking months, and she still thinks we're dating? What a dumb ass!

"So, you did dump her then?" Malik asks, raising an eyebrow. I blink.

"Er… well, we haven't even talked in two months though!" I proclaim. Marik shakes his head.

"That's not exactly dumping someone, you know? And she claims she misses you."

"I don't care if she misses me, I don't want her, I've found better!" I growl, pouting. Ryou stares at his knees, biting his lip.

"S-so, technically you're cheating on her with me?" Ryou whispers. I shake my head and wrap my arm around him again.

"Not really, I, I thought not talking to her and barely acknowledging her was basically throwing in the towel!" Ryou smiles and shakes his head.

"Bakura… that doesn't mean you dumped her." He says softly, running a hand through my hair. I sigh.

"You needn't worry about finding her too much though. We old her you were coming down the other day, and she said she was gonna come and see you. She'll likely be coming today, no doubt." Marik notes, taking a seat on a chair. Malik follows, jumping in his lap.

"So… I'll just dump her and let bygones be bygones, and it's over!" I cry, hugging Ryou. He laughs, nuzzling into my shoulder.

"Malik, what time do you have to be home tonight?" Marik asks, running a hand up Malik's shirt and scratching his stomach. Malik purrs and nuzzles into him.

"In an hour now… she wants me home by nine 'o clock." He whines.

"I'm coming over you know?" Marik informs him, grinning. Malik smiles.

"Good, I didn't wanna be alone anyways. And besides you owe me since you couldn't come over the last two nights!" Malik says, giving Marik another quick kiss. Marik grins.

"And I will pay you back when we get home if you know what I mean."

"Ugh, guys! Don't contaminate my Ryou's ears with your nympho talk!" I cry. Malik snickers.

"Well if he's going to hang out with us, he might as well get used to it!" Marik muses, kissing Malik again. I roll my eyes. Glad to know they have nice, virtuous minds.

The doorbell rings again.

"I'll get it!" Malik shouts, jumping up and running to the door.

"Ugh, that kid is such a livewire!" I snap.

"Uh, hi?" I hear Malik say.

"Um, hey Mal! Is like, Bakura here?" I hear a feminine voice ring.

"Summer…" I hiss, getting to my feet.

"Yep, right this way Summy!" Malik cheers, leading her out into the living room. She runs over to me and hugs me immediately.

"Bakura, hey, I missed you!" She chirps. I push her off me and stare her down. She's lost loads of weight, her collar bone visible from the tight forest green tank top she wears. Her messy black hair has grown a bit, looking way unkept, and ugly rashes cover her arms. She smells like death!

"Bakura?" She says, blinking confusedly. I shake my head and give her a fake smile.

"Hey Summer…" I trail off. She looks around the room and spots Ryou.

"Who are you?" She asks him, taking my hand and leading me over to him.

"I, I'm Ryou, Bakura's friend." He says quietly, looking upon her with sad eyes. Marik and Malik stare at her the same way.

"Why is everyone looking at me so weirdly?" She asks, grinning. She dismisses it, waving a hand.

"Anyways, I need to talk to you, Bakura! Alone." I nod as she walks out into the hall, and walk over to Ryou, bending down on my knees, giving his hand a kiss.

"Be back." I whisper, getting to my feet once more and following her suit, running outside and leaving the door open a crack.

She smiles slightly as she sits down on the stairway.

"I've missed you, you know?" She says softly, looking up at me. I take a seat next to her and sigh.

"Really Summer? Because I didn't miss you." I say nonchalantly. She smiles, closing her eyes and nods.

"I know you didn't. I figured we weren't together anymore after you never called…"

"Not according to Marik and Malik you didn't! You told people you where coming to my house this summer!" I seethe, flashing my fangs.

"I know… I don't know what I was thinking though… besides, I'm sure you've already met someone down wherever you live anyways." She says, sighing.

"Yes, I did. And it's not like you haven't cheated on me either." I counter, glaring at her. She laughs heartily.

"I know, I know. So, who is she?" I narrow my eyes.

"Who's who?"

"You're new girl."

"Guy actually. And you met him. He's inside." She grins, her eyes widening in amusement.

"So you're bi now, eh?" I shake my head.

"No, just gay… after all, I don't plan on leaving this one."

"He's cute, and he looks like a sweetheart, you shouldn't leave him." I nod.

"He is, he's great… and so different from anyone else I've ever been with. But it's nice… you know? To finally meet someone who's not a total head case."

"Like me, you mean?" I nod. The truth hurts. Summer smiles.

"Sounds good. So… how long have you been together for?"

"A few weeks I guess." She sighs, and stands up.

"So, it's really over then?" She questions. I stand up too, nodding.

"I guess so." She smiles and pulls me in for a hug.

"Well, good luck then, ok? And e-mail me sometime or something!" Summer demands. She gives me a quick peck on the cheek before departing down the stair-way.

"Summer?" She looks back.

"You… you really should get some help, ok? You look even worse." I say flatly, staring at her. She gives me a sad smile.

"I know… Malik told me I look like hit the other day too…" She trails off, looking to the ground. She's even more addicted then when I was here!

"Well… still. Get some help kid, before you kill yourself off. And goodbye." I say, giving her a small smile, walking in the door, and shutting it.

"What'd she say?" Malik hollers.

"Nothing really." I comment, hurrying back to the living room.

"Are you over now?" Ryou asks, looking up from the TV. I jump on the couch, flipping off my shoes, and rest my head down on Ryou's leg, sighing.

"Finished." I say, nuzzling into his leg.

"You sound sad though." Ryou says, running long, graceful fingers through my unruly locks.

"No, everything's great weirdo. You're here!" I say happily. I hear strange noises emitting from the chair Marik and Malik are sitting on.

"Damn, at least go in Marik's room." I mutter.

"Actually, we're gonna go now, and let you two lovers be alone!" Marik says happily, standing up with Malik again in his arms.

"Ah. Make sure to use a condom." I grumble, turning around, and closing my eyes.

"Have fun, you two!" Ryou chirps, scratching my head lightly. Malik and Marik snort.

"Oh, we will! And we'll be over early tomorrow! After all, Ryou's gotta be shown around!" Malik says as they near the door.

"Bye!" Ryou calls out. I mumble a goodbye, snuggling into Ryou, getting comfortable.

"Later!" Marik calls, shutting the door. Alone at last!

I smile as Ryou pets me.

"Tired?"

"Eh, a little. I didn't sleep much last night. I need cuddling." I whine. He giggles and bends down, kissing my cheek.

"Anything for you my Bakura." He says, struggling out from under me, and struggling, until he was lying on top of me, snuggling into my chest.

"This is going to be our first night alone together." I inform him, lightly stroking his back.

"No it won't be! I spent the night with you once before… but it will be our first night 'together' together!" He says cheerfully. I sigh happily, hands creeping under his tee shirt and scratching lightly at his soft, luscious, creamy skin. He moans softly, breathing quietly as he closes his eyes, content as I run a hand through his hair again.

"I really am glad I came here with you…" He whispers quietly, barely audible over the TV noise.

"I'm glad you got to come here too." I reply, giving him a tight squeeze.

"I'm home!" Crystalline shouts as she walks in the living room. Ryou jumps off of me.

"Oh, uh hi Crystalline!" We say in unison, smiling nervously. She gives us a wink.

"Having some fun there I see?" She says, a playful smirk appearing on her ruby red lips. Ryou throws his hands over his face, blushing. Why is it every time we are about to get to something good someone fucking interrupts, WHY?!?! I groan and bang my head onto the table.

I feel two sets of eyes staring at me.

"What?" I snap, glaring at Ryou and my evil, evil sister. She raises her eyebrows.

"Nothing Kura… I brought dinner though!" She says, revealing a plastic bag with take-out in it.

"Crystalline, I'm going to kill you, you know that?" I hiss, pouting. Ryou stifles his giggles as he stands up, offering me a hand.

"Whatever it is Bakura, I really don't want to know. Come in the kitchen and eat." She says, treading off. I sigh and take Ryou's hand, getting up.

"Bakura, don't worry, we can have a little fun later." He whispers, smiling. I blink.

"How did you know that's what I was thinking about? Are you invading my brain?!?" He laughs and shakes his head.

"No loser." He says, standing on his tip toes and giving me a kiss. "It's because I know everything." He adds cutely, poking my nose. He then runs off to the kitchen.

"Come on Bakura!" I blink, still a bit shocked and follow. Ryou kissed me? That's the most forward thing he's ever done! I see real potential for him…

My stomach growls loudly, so naturally, I head to the kitchen to go get some dinner.
