"Your friend Seto is a strange one," Malik proclaimed, wrinkling his nose as some flower petals blew past, tickling his nose.
"Yeah, I guess so," Bakura replied, hands in his dark jeans as he and his two blonde friends walked side by side through the dusty corn paths, on their way to Bakura's hangout.
"What's a matter? You seem a little off since the plane ride, Bakura," Marik said, glancing towards his friend, smacking pale blonde strands away from his face. Bakura sighed, giving a trivial shrug, staring off into the sunny country skies.
"I don't know. I'm just kind of tired I guess," He said faintly, kicking a small pebble off into the corn patch. Marik raised an eyebrow, glancing over his friend questionably, secretly wondering if Bakura's newly found depression had to do with the fact Ryou had to go home, and had yet to return.
"This wouldn't have to do with Ryou, would it?" Bakura blinked, frowning as he glared at his friend.
"He's not the only thing I think about, you know?" He snapped, rolling agitated chestnut eyes. Not that it was a total lie to say he was not thinking about Ryou currently, or that he thought about him a lot. Malik snickered, playful lavender eyes traveling to stare into Bakura's own.
"Maybe not, but you can't deny you miss him right now! That's it isn't it; you miss him! Aw, Bakura that's so sweet! He's only been gone a couple of hours, too! I doubted when Ryou told me you were sweet, but now I see why he likes you so much! You're sprung off him!" Malik exclaimed, giving his angered friend a small pat on the back. Bakura heaved another sigh, letting his eyes fall to the ground, not feeling like having a big debate over how he wasn't obsessed with Ryou. It seemed to be obvious to everyone, and it was a pretty true statement, anyway.
"Yeah, I guess… I just feel like seeing him, and going to sleep I guess, it's been a long night, and I only slept a couple of hours on the plane, the turbulence was pretty bad for a while," Bakura informed, taking a hand out of his pocket to swat at a pesky fly. Ack, the countryside was a horrible place to be if you loathed bugs, which Bakura did.
"Man, what are you going to do when he goes off to college, and you head off to the tropics with Marik and me?" Malik teased, giving Bakura a smile. Bakura's eyes widened at the statement. Something like that'd never crossed his mind. He was so used to the perfection of being able to be with Ryou, never even fathoming if it ever had to end. He wasn't someone who ever wanted to look into the future; it was too risky and full of surprises. He was happy with the here and now, but since Malik had brought it up, what would happen? Would Ryou and he even make it past the summer fling stage? Would he ever even get to have a six-month anniversary with Ryou, or feel the joy of what it was like to have a serious relationship and make it past a year? Suppose Ryou and he did last until the end of high school… Then what? Would Ryou go off to some top-notch college, and leave Bakura behind to wallow in misery in this small town? After all, Ryou was smart and destined for bigger, better things, and Bakura was well… not.
"I don't know… I don't think I want to know. I'm happy with him right now, and I'm really not looking forward to the day he'll leave, nor do I want to know when or how. I'll worry about that when it comes, I guess," He answered truthfully, trying to get his mind off the pessimistic thoughts.
"I was kidding, you know? Moreover, I'm sure no matter what happens you and Ryou will figure out something! You can't just give up on him that easily!" Malik chimed, grinning as he walked along with the other two. Besides, Bakura had to keep being with Ryou. Ryou was nice, and too cool to just dump!
"Yeah, but anyways, how close are we to this little place of yours?" Marik asked, wanting to avoid the subject of Bakura and Ryou's relationship, and when the two would have to leave each other, knowing it made Bakura tense. His friend was too in love with the boy to even think of letting him go. Marik had always thought it was so cool that Bakura had finally found someone he was compatible with, and was sure the two would be together for a long, long time.
"If you look ahead, you can see a row of tall grass and just beyond that is the place!" Bakura said, pointing to said grass. Malik squinted his eyes, placing a hand over the sun to stop it from glaring so much, searching around for the line of grass. He started running as he saw it, wanting to hurry up and see the place where his friend had spent most of his summer, and of course, meet Bakura's other friends, too!
"Hey, wait up Cracker!" Marik called, speeding up to follow in his pursuit, running like a bat out of hell after him. Bakura would've ran, but found he didn't feel much like it, so he trotted along, picking up his stride a pace or two, but never really going fast.
"Come on Bakura, hurry up! Stop being a little bitch and get you slim little ass over here! I want to meet your crack addict friends!" Malik shouted, stamping his foot, and folding his arms inward. Marik smirked and wrapped an arm around Malik's frail waist, giving him a short kiss at the corner of his mouth.
"You're so cute when you're pouty, Malik-cat," He purred, causing the other boy to smile in a hazy manner, gazing up to his boyfriend, and leaning up to give him a kiss back.
"Well, it's Kura's fault! He's being a brat today!" He said defensively, resting his forehead against Marik's nose. Marik drew Malik closer into a loose embrace, kissing his forehead, nuzzling against him.
"I know, but Bakura's a sap, so until he's sees Ryou, he'll probably be acting like a virginal little school girl," Marik comforted with a sigh, grinning as Malik giggled.
"I love you Rik-Rik," Malik cooed, gazing up into jagged lilac eyes that always seemed to glitter with emotion whenever the smaller blonde was near. Marik kissed Malik once more on the forehead.
"I love you, too…"
"Oh fuck! Would you guys quit being so damn mushy? It's disgusting!" Bakura seethed, rolling his steamy coffee eyes as he stood before the two, in a pouty stance. Marik growled and pulled away from Malik, glaring at his other friend, who had just managed to piss him off.
"We were having a moment Bakura, you asshole! Malik and I don't come in and ruin you're chances of making out with Ryou!" Marik screamed, punching him lightly.
"That hurt! And you don't break up Ryou and mine's moments, because we have yet to HAVE any in front of your eyes!" Bakura exclaimed, slapping Marik back on the shoulder. Malik rolled his eyes, stomping a foot.
"You're both SO immature…" Marik and Bakura looked into each other, and were silent for a second before bursting out laughing.
"We're the immature ones?!? You have a tantrum when things don't go you're way! You still get mad when people try to hug me, even my FAMILY for Christ's sake!" Marik proclaimed, turning his head to Malik. Malik glared critically at his boyfriend and took his arms away from his shoulders, crossing them.
"And of course, let's not forget what happens when you don't get enough sleep. Can you say crybaby?" Bakura said, causing Marik and himself to snicker.
"Let's just go…" Malik said, blushing as he took both their hands and rushed them past the tall grass. He hated when they ganged up on him! He had always been the center of their jokes, just because he was a little demanding, and whiny sometimes…
Marik glanced up to see a large grassy land with some fruit trees, and tons of beautifully kept green grass, and of course, a crystal clear lake, stretching out over what looked to be a good two miles of land. There was a dock also, which seemed to have a small crowd of kids on it, sitting around in a circle, while a couple others were in the water. He turned to his right and found a cooler and a blanket spread out on the grass, assuming it was one of the kid's.
"They're down at the dock," Bakura pointed out, stating the obvious. He started running down the slightly sloped hill, Marik and Malik only a few paces behind.
"BAKURA!" A far off voice called, someone standing up on the dock and waving towards the three. Bakura grinned, knowing that was Yugi, who always seemed to be the first to notice things.
"Who is that?" Marik asked in between pants, staring out to the dock.
"Yugi!" Bakura answered, stopping his running as he got to the shore of the lake. Marik and Malik halted too, both out of breath. They walked slowly to the dock, heading to the edge of it to where everyone was.
"Welcome home Bakura, it's nice to have you back! Seto missed you dearly!" Otogi called, glancing up to find two other boys he'd never seen before with him. He knew they couldn't have possibly been from around here. He would've seen their faces. And usually if anyone new moved into the neighborhood, everyone knew about it. Secrets were hard to keep in a small town like Deity.
"Hey Kura! Nice to see you again, you were dearly missed! Who are your friends?" Anzu asked, smiling up at them from her seat on the dock, right next to Serenidy.
"They're Marik and Malik, my best friends from Domino!" He said, pushing them forward a bit. Malik smiled and sat down in the small crowd, shaking Anzu's hand and glancing around the circle.
"I'm Malik, and that one up there is Marik! He's shy, so you'll have to excuse him!" He hissed, making Anzu and Serenidy giggle. Marik pushed Malik over with his foot and glared.
"I am not you little punk! But anyways, who are ya'll?" Tristan and Joey looked at each other, and laughed.
"He's picking up our cultures already!" Tristan joked, shaking his head, "Anyway, I'm Tristan, and the 'puppy' next to me is Joey!"
"Puppy?" Marik said, furrowing an eyebrow. Mai rolled her eyes, grinning. "It'll make sense later. But I'm Mai!" Malik nodded, giving her a friendly smile, and peered over to an auburn haired brunette, and the girl whose hand he'd shaken.
"I'm Serenidy, and it's nice to have you here! Bakura's told us about you before, and I have to say, you guys sound awesome!" She said sweetly, smiling. Marik snickered, crossing his arms.
"Sorry, we're taken." Malik slapped Marik's leg, glaring up to his boyfriend.
"Anyway, thank you!" Malik chirped, smiling back across at Serenidy.
"Yeah, and I'm Anzu, sorry I didn't say it sooner!" The taller, kind brunette next to Serenidy said, "And it's very nice to meet you both!"
"I'm Yugi, and the guy out in the water is Yami! I'm sorry you couldn't meet Dess, Mokuba, Nolbz and Seto! They're out somewhere… I think Seto might have taken them to a baseball game or something," Yugi said, resting his head on his palm in a thoughtful manner.
"Yeah, Seto did! They should be back in a couple of hours though!" Serenidy chirped, receiving questionable glances from Tristan and Joey.
"How would you know? Nolbz, Mokuba, and Dess haven't been around all day, and Seto almost never says where he's going!" Tristan pointed out. Serenidy blushed slightly. She knew she probably shouldn't know, but her and Seto talked so much, and she felt guilty, really wanting to tell her brother and everyone what was going on.
"Well, I called Nolbz this morning to see if he wanted to come over and he told me he couldn't because Seto was taking him somewhere!" She lied, feigning an innocent smile. Tristan nodded, still not trusting her answer. He knew something weird was going on, but he'd dig deeper into that mystery later.
Bakura sat down in the little group, amused eyes watching Yami idly from the dock, finding it strange how someone could fall asleep with no shirt and sunglasses on, sleeping on a water mattress in the lake, drifting further and closer as the current went about. 'What a damn weirdo…' He thought, shaking his head as he looked back around, finding the group in some kind of discussion.
"So Bakura how was Domino, anyway?" Anzu asked, blue eyes blinking with interest.
"Eh, it was fun I guess!" He said happily, remembering his little sucker session with Ryou; snicker, snicker. Happy times NO one would ever get to know about!
"Yeah, we even helped Ryou with his thieving skills! Bakura had told us he messed up big time when you were at the store, and Marik and I decided to take him on a little 'shopping' spree at the local mall! We taught him some tricks of the trait, and bettered his skills!" Malik chirped, laughing a little at the thought. Malik was distracting some workers while Marik was busy keeping the cameras on him while Ryou slipped stuff into his backpack, ripping tags off here and there, managing to steal quite a large sum of goods. All three of them were shocked at how good Ryou had been, and how easily he'd gotten away. The weird thing though was that he'd taken a pair of saucy red girls' panties. And of course, like the good friends they were, they made fun of him for it at least ten times a day! Ryou's excuse had been that he was so caught up; he just grabbed the first thing he saw and took it. Malik asked why he was in the women's underwear…
Anzu rolled her eyes, still not totally in sync with how all her friends (save Serenidy and Yugi) all stole, "Impressive. I'm sure Seto would just love to hear about that little escapade…" Bakura snorted, clasping his hands together in his lap.
"He'll be damn proud! He'd been talking about taking Ryou out to show him the rings, anyways! After all, Ryou can't go to college without the knowledge of stealing!" Bakura said smirking slightly. He was proud of his Ryou-bug for doing such a good job, too!
"I'm going to have to congratulate him then! We'll have to go to the other little store; you know the one without the blind man!" Duke said, grinning at the thought. Stealing was fun!
"Heh and we can make him steal everything by himself!"
"Yeah," Malik said, adding on to Duke's suggestion, "then if he gets in trouble, we can run away!" Bakura pouted, shaking his head fiercely.
"You are not going to let my Ry do that all by himself! His mom would kill him if he ever got caught, and not only that, but if you left him alone, I'll kill you, too!" He threatened, glaring at them all. Duke snorted and gave Bakura a rough pat on the back.
"I was kidding, and I know you wouldn't leave him all alone! I doubt his mom will let him get out tonight anyways. I'm sure she swarmed him with chores to do, and some crap about family 'bonding' time. Damn, she's a bitch!" Duke mused, rolling his hunter green eyes.
"Yeah, but a mom is a mom, and at least he has someone to take care of him! She does love him, you know? She just has an odd sort of way of showing it!" Yugi chirped, nodding. He always knew Ryou's mom was not the 'nicest' of ladies, but she did care about her son, whether anyone else believed it o not. She was in fact probably freaking out when she found out his dad said he could go away for the week. He also knew she would NOT be happy when she found out Ryou was gay, or that he was dating Ms. Ketsueki's kid, because according to Anzu's mother who had chats with Tristan, and Ryou' mom, she absolutely LOATHED him.
"Yeah, Ryou's mom loves him. Would love to kill him, that is! She'd probably even like to ship him off to a boarding school so he could never see any of us again!" Tristan said grudgingly, frowning as he thought of the portly red haired lady.
"She would never do that! Besides, then she'd be lonely, and she'd realize how much of a mistake she made settling for Ryou's dad even know he's never home. She knows he doesn't really love her that she just settled for her because he knew she would take good care of Ryou while he was away, because he knew he didn't really want to come back to this place. He meant to leave Ryou alone. You know if he wanted to come back he would, almost all of you have met him. He just never could get used to this place after Ryou's real mother died. It was never the cozy little home he remembered after that. Ryou told me he always saw his father crying himself to sleep even two months after his mother had died. It was so tragic, because Mr. Ichiro had really loved her, and Ryou knew they were soul mates, and he knew his father was never happy with his new wife. But things have seemed to brighten up for him lately…" Serenidy hinted, cheerful eyes traveling to Bakura's direction that seemed to be spacing out, thinking out Ryou's family. Why had Ryou's dad married her anyways? From how Ryou talked him, it always seemed like the woman was just a baby sitter, never a real mother, or wife for that matter. Then his ears perked at a certain sentence. Why were things better for Ryou lately? He looked up to see eyes on him. Oh. That. Sigh. People never got over them; Seto went as far as to tell them they were Deity's Brad and Jen. Being famous sucked!
"Yeah, so what are we going to do for him on his birthday anyways?" Anzu asked, changing the subject of stealing. She hated hearing about stupid things like that!
"Who, Ryou?" Malik asked, looking up from Mai's nails. They were so long and sharp, and pink too!
"Yes, Ryou! His birthday is in less than a month, so what should we do?" She asked, gazing around to everyone.
"Well, you could always throw him a surprise party?" Marik suggested timidly, gazing away from all the sharp glares, he was getting.
"We do that like EVERY year though… besides, a surprise party is no fun if you already know who all is going to be there! We have to do something really special for him this time, something no one else would think of!" Serenidy said proudly, trying to think of something great to do for her friend.
"Aw, crap! I won't even get to be here for his birthday because I fly back to Canada," He says, heaving a depressed sigh.
"Aw, then you're leaving earlier this year! Usually your mom lets you stay until the day after Ryou's birthday!" Yugi whines, frowning sadly.
"Yeah I know, but school starts sooner for you guys this year, since you start the third, and my school decided to follow the trend and start the 31st, so now I have to leave on the 27th, to make sure I have some time to do back-to-school shopping and such!" He tells us, shaking his head. A bunch of sad faces look upon him, none too happy about this new announcement. He'd always gotten to leave a lot later than that!
"How long are you two staying for though?" Yugi asks, turning his attention to Malik and Marik.
"Only for about four nights. School in Domino starts the 24th, so we have to be home in time like Duke for school shopping and what not. Plus my sister wouldn't let me stay any longer," Malik said, laying down and resting his head on Marik's leg. Bakura rather wondered when he'd sat down, Bakura never remembered him doing so. He shrugged and looked back to Yami who was STILL sleeping, floating away in to deeper waters.
"Yugi how does Yami do it?" Bakura asked, looking to the short, spiky haired teen. He glanced toward Bakura with puzzled eyes.
"Do what?" He asked, gazing to the new place Bakura was looking. He then smiled and rolled his big, doe-like amethyst eyes.
"Oh, that. I have no clue… he just falls asleep, easily I guess. I tried to tell him he was going to drown doing something like that but he says he's unbreakable, or something stupid like that," Yugi told him, sighing in defeat, "Sometimes, he can be so ridiculous."
"Don't forget that he's a moron, too!" Bakura reminded him, grinning. Yugi shook his head, changing to a laying down position to watch his boyfriend idly.
"We should just go to Bob's Burger Barn and leave him out there," Anzu said, eyeing Yami as if he was the stupidest thing ever.
"Or better yet, we should go scare the crap out of him!" Malik exclaimed, a mischievous grin playing across his lips. Marik nodded, clapping his hands together in happiness.
"Great idea!" Duke said, throwing off his shirt and jumping into the lake, "Come on, let's go and tip him!" Malik and Marik nodded in unison, and took off their shirts, glad Bakura had told them they should wear swimming shorts down. They jumped in the water, enjoying the slightly warmed water caressing against their skin, and came back up, grinning.
"Bakura, come on! Come terrorize that guy with us!" Bakura shrugged, and slid off his tee shirt and jeans, jumping in, too.
The four swam out, tanned skin gleaming in the sunlight. Anzu grinned and whipped on a pair of black sunglasses, sprawling out to watch the half-naked teens swimming out to Yami.
"You know, sometimes it really rocks to be a girl," Serenidy mused, giggling as she eyed them. Anzu sighed, a finger twirling around in the lake idly as she watched, smiling.
"So many good looking guys and they're all gay…" Mai nodded, filing down an uneven nail.
"True that…"
-
"Okay, now what we're going to do is swim under him and tip the bastard over!" Marik hissed pointing to the sun burnt male snoring on the plastic pink air mattress, a soda bottle rested on one side of him. The other three nodded, and swam under water, all smiling as they rested their hands on the bottom of the air mat. Malik held up three fingers.
"Three… two… one!" He mouthed, helping them all push the mattress out of the water. Screaming could be heard as a tanned body fell into the water, kicking and yelling, not really knowing what was going on. One minute he was sleeping, the next he was under water! He opened his eyes under the water, looking around for what could've caused this. He couldn't have possibly done it himself! He remembered being lifted out of the water first! Suddenly he saw four bodies swimming away, and his head popped out of water to see drenched pale blonde, silver, and black hair all dripping, getting further away by the second.
Bakura looked back and smirked, seeing a very unhappy Yami bobbing up and down in the water, spiky hair falling over into his eyes, blocking his view slightly.
"Rise and shine!" Bakura called, snickering away as the three-headed back t the dock. Yami huffed and puffed.
"BAKURA, IMA KILL YOOUUU!!" Yami hollered, raising a shaking fist to signify he WOULD get his revenge, "WELCOME BACK BAKURA, YOU'RE GONNA DIE!!!"
He sniffed, and climbed back onto his mattress, happy to find that somehow his Sprite had made it through the attack.
"Stupid no good friends… who were the other two though?" Yami asked himself, glancing to the four that were crawling back onto the dock. He swore he'd never seen two longhaired blonde boys in these parts before, and he already knew they couldn't possibly be girls, especially by the way they were built. Girls did not have those kind of muscles. Maybe Bakura had met them and invited them here, it didn't really matter though. All Yami knew was that it was hot, and he was tired. He opened his pop and took a long chug, before closing it again and readjusting himself, falling into a peaceful sleep, once again.
-
Bakura, come on! I can't find his house by myself; I've never even seen it!"
"That's not my fault Malik! If you wouldn't have been so busy making out with Marik the whole way to my house, you would've seen!" I hiss, glaring as he rushes back and pulls on my arm.
"Shut up Bakura, now which path?"
"The right," I say simply, pointing in said direction. He tugs me down the path, causing me to almost trip, "Watch it damn it!"
"Then walk faster fat ass!"
"…. Malik, I'm not fat."
"Yeah, yeah, I know… just pleasantly plump, right?" I slap him on the head, and shake my head.
"You're so stupid Malik…" He smiles and nods in agreement.
"How much further?"
"Gah! Stop asking every ten steps! It's the house right there!" I exclaim, pointing to the tall two story home with a very slanted roof, and no lights on, save one on the side of the house; undoubtedly my Ryou's.
"No one looks like their awake…" He hisses as we walk up the cement steps to Ryou's yard, glancing up at the tall house.
"That's because he's not aloud to be anywhere but his bedroom after 10 pm, dummy. Now come on! His bedroom is the one with the dim light on the side of the house!" I whisper, changing modes and pulling him along for once. We creep up to his window, and stand under it. Malik glances at me, blinking.
"I don't hear any noise, are you sure he's up?" Malik asks standing on his tiptoes to get a look inside. "Kura, I don't even see him…"
I blink and stand on my tiptoes, eyes searching around his candle lit, vanilla scented room, where the TV is on low, and a single lamp is lit on the nightstand next to Ryou's bed where he's… sound asleep. Damn it! I want you out here, wake up!
"Aw… he's sleeping! Let's just go Kura, I don't want to wake him up, he looks too peaceful!" Malik coos, smiling softly as his lilac eyes set on my Ryou.
"Can I at least say good night first?" I ask softly, turning to Malik. Malik smiles knowingly and nods, motioning for me to go on in. I nod, and hoist myself up, pulling myself up in through the window frame, trying to be as quiet as possible as I fall to the floor. I stay there and make sure he doesn't move, and no noise is coming from other parts of the house. When things seem clear, I crawl over to his neatly made bed, and rest my head on my arms and watch him breathe, his chest rising up and down slightly as he sleeps on his side, a hint of a smile on his thin little lips. His hands cling to his white sweater that's slightly lifted up to reveal a hint of sun kissed, silky skin. He is so… pretty. I know it is a funny thing to call a male, but it's the truth. Ryou's one of the most beautiful creatures I think I have ever seen…
"Ryou…" I whisper softly, just wanting to hear his name. He moans softly, nuzzling against a black, faded sweatshirt, the one I gave him a while ago, which one of his hands is currently under. I need to be near him… just for a minute. I climb up on the bed and lay down next to him, my hand immediately wrapping around him while the other brushes over his rosy cheek. My eyes glaze over looking at him, and I can't help but feel serene. Seeing him sleeping so peacefully makes me even more exhausted, like I could just cuddle up next to him and fall asleep within seconds, happily next to him. My fingers sweep over his creamy skin, and he leans into my touch, another soft moan erupting from his slightly parted lips. He blinks open half-lidded green eyes, and a small smile plays across his tired lips as he looks upon me.
"Bakura…" He trails off, sounding a bit raspy, scooting a little closer and wrapping an arm around me. "I missed you."
"I missed you too, you never came out," I whisper, drawing him closer and nuzzling my nose against his. He giggles tiredly and sighs, sleepy green eyes looking up into mine.
"My mom never let me go outside today, and I was going to come out, but I fell asleep! I'm sorry!" He exclaims, voice still a bit crackly from just waking up. I shake my head and run my finger through his shiny, luscious hair.
"It's okay Ryou, you were tired… I just came in to say good night, really. I just needed to see you before I left," I say, giving him a smile.
"No, I want to come with you. I feel bad for making you wait!" He cries, running his soft fingers through my hair.
"No, stay here. You're tired, just go to bed Ryou," I command lightly, kissing him softly, closing my eyes. He moans softly, kissing back.
"But I want to be with you…" I shake my head, and pull him closer, his head resting beside my chest.
"No, sleep, it's alright. Nothing is going on anyway. Just go to bed," I whisper, running my fingers delicately through his hair, causing him to go limp in my arms. Ryou loves to have his hair played with, it makes him tired, it's just another thing I've found out about him…
A few minutes pass and I can hear Malik sighing boredly out the window. Really don't want to go; I want to stay in here with Ryou really badly. I glance down to find his eyes closed again. He fell asleep. Sigh… I really don't want to leave…
I lean down and give him one last kiss, "Night weirdo." I climb off his bed and walk over to the window, taking one last longing stare at him before crawling back outside.
"Took you long enough," Malik mutters, sighing as he stands up straight, finished leaning against the wall.
"Really? Because I wish I could've been in there longer. Ten minutes with Ryou is too short…" Malik smiles and wraps an arm around my shoulder.
"You're hopeless Bakura… hopelessly in love."

It's great stuff! You're such a pretty writer S4K! Anyways, have a fun day!
Ragdollsally13: I love Seto too! He's all tall, and silent and stuff!! Except, not so much silent and dark in this story, here, he's a very fun guy! Aw, you love my story so much it hurts? Then stop loving it so much, I don't want you to die! Glad you liked!
Michiclaws: 'Peachy' is a very fun word, especially when you're not describing a peach! -nod, nod- And nebula is a cool word too! Love ya!!
Snow-shadow-wolf: Yay, glad you liked it! -nods- Well, Marik and Malik are very scary people, equaling them to do very scary things! Love ya!
Ryou Kitsune: Actually, to tell you the truth, Bakura waiting for Ryou is going to last I think… two years, maybe a little! I'm NOT hinting at the sequel or anything… nope!
Sauruman: -sweatdrop-…
Anyways, it'll last for a while! Have a beautiful day!
Ashuri chan: Me and my friends did that to some guy friends once too! They even got dressed in thongs, short shorts, and tank tops… strangely, they both looked kind of pretty… especially the blonde! Haha, you got the cool kind of dog… I wanna special breed dog! Y little pup is just a wimp… He's scared of everything, but I guess that's the life of a shiatsu for ya!

Meheeners: You're favorite Yu-Gi-Oh story? REALLY?!? -tackles- That's so nice! I'm glad you like it then! And you're awesome too!
December Jewel: Nope, your eyes do not deceive! Little Marik is very jealous of the Setoness! He's stealing away his best friend, someone call the ambulance!!! -cough- Anyways, of course I'll continue this, and much love!
Citizen Cobalt: Aw, yay, I'm glad you really like my story! So cool of you, and of course I'll continue writing!
Kien-Tai: Nope, it's not odd at all that a straight guy likes Yaoi/shounen-ai stuff! I know a couple who do, too! Aw, no and I'm sure you can write just as good as me if not better! Hutt! -gasp- No you can't still my little Ryou-bug! What will Bakura do?!?
Bakura: -cries- Gimme back my snuggle puss… -sob-
Aw, how can you hurt such a poor, innocent being?
Bakura: -looks down and throws the knife in his hands behind him-
a lemon though? That's your demands? -grin- Even it it's a Solomon/Pegasus one? Cause I could always arrange that! ( insane laughter ) Anyways, I dunno, cause I kinda wanna get this story over with and start the sequel, real, real bad… but maybe! And I'm glad my story rocks your socks!
IMPROVED Uber Rei Model 06: Aw, you got water all over your computer? Maybe you shouldn't drink liquids while reading then! Obviously the two don't mix! I'm glad you liked the chapter!
Sabby-chan Yaoi Fan: -nods- Fluff is a very good thing, especially when it's Ryou/Bakura! -nod, nod- I'm glad you love this little story, and of course I'll update soon!
Alana Star/Sugar-Cat: Aw, that sucks; school sucks, it ruins everything, including updating stuff! That's why I know my updates are going to be less frequent, but I dun want them to! -cries, school sucks- And it's okay you haven't bween reviewing… I'll forgive you if you gimme a stick! One EXACTLY 5 millimeters in length. -nod, nod-
FantabulousWatapon: Yay, our club has a theeemmmeee song! I'm so happy.. -tear- Club Fantabulous is THE BEST! Marik and Malik can get it on in a airplane and still not be tired because they've had lots and lots of practice of course! Much love G!
Bakagami101: Aw, I'm glad you liked it!
Shinigami: -nods- Yes, Marik is quite jealous! He can't help it, my Seto muse is just too cool… and he's afraid he's stealing away all my Bakura's friendship! No more best friendness for the Marik/Bakuraness… Aw, sorry Malik and Marik gave your muses bad ideas! I'll try harder next time, I swear! Oh and no, Malik and Marik have NO shame!! Love ya! Aw! I dunno… I'm still thinking about whether to do a Marik/Malik lemon or not… it's kinda difficult cause I really wanna get this story done and adding a lemon is more work I have to do! But Maybe my dear, maybe!
Evil Chibi Malik: Yes, tis Lucifer! I needed a middle name and it's what my little buddy came up with! -nods- Yes, sex in the bathroom is very much like Malik and Marik! Aw, yay, I'm glad Nanashi like my little nickname! I think it fits rather well.. 'Kaka-kun!' Hehe, glad you liked the chapter ECM, and welcome to Nanashi for Kaka-kun's new nickname!

Rach-Chan: Yay, then it was like a some-what birthday gift! Sorry your computer broke down, and it's totally okay you didn't review sooner! Much love!
SilverWing 147: lmao. They can't rob the store man blind, he already is! I wonder why a blind man would be hired at a store to work alone, anyways… silly stuff! I'm glad you liked the chapter and I dunno about Seto and the big feet thing… but Marik is definitely jealous!
Ryou and Bakura's girly: Yeah I know Bakura/Ryou is the best! -nod, nod- I'm glad you really like the story though! Of course I'll continue on, I am no quitter!
Naoko Ten'ou: I know, my updates are getting later and later… I'm sorry! I'm glad you liked it though, and Marik is indeed grudging against the Seto-man! Who can blame him? Seto's great!
Yuku No Yatsu: -nods- Yes he has a very good reason; he loves his mommy… maybe not as much as Kura-chan though! Love ya, and have a super duper day!
Soy Sauce: WUD UP BRO?!? No don't worry, I don't even think Mayberry is in the rest of this story… but she does play a role in the sequel!! Could I wait until marriage for sex? Definite yes! I think it's a better idea to wait really! It's not necessarily why Ryou is going to though. I just figured it'd added to his cute little innocent ness! And sorry, but he's not going to break that promise! HAHA!
Citcat-chan: YES!! It seems like no one updates anymore… updates are getting less and less! Where have all the chapters gone? Looong time passing! -coughs, stopping the Bette Midler now- Thanks for all the cookies though, and I'll try to update soon my dear!
Elle-Fate2x1-2: Yeah, it is kind of sad because Bakura can only see his best friends not so often… that kind of stuff blows! I could understand Marik's jealousy too! Having your best friend stolen away is no fun… Sorry you can't see your friend more! I have a friend ( or boyfriend/girlfriend… ) that moved away too, and it really sucks! Much love!
Aw! I dunno… I'm still thinking about whether to do a Marik/Malik lemon or not… it's kinda difficult cause I really wanna get this story done and adding a lemon is more work I have to do! But Maybe my dear, maybe!
Freaky Person O.o: lmao… cute, sick, and wrong? Good combo! And it's going to end hopefully with in five or so chapters. I really wanna finish this so I can do the sequel, which will probably just as long… or longer sadly. And they might adopt a kid someday, but it's kinda for your imagination to figure out… the sequel pretty much stops right after Graduation and they all go off on their own… but they could adopt a kid, it's all what you make of it I guess! -nod, nod- Much love!
Kurama's Oni: Question, what is an Oni, anyways? Part of me wants to say 'mom', but I really have no clue! And I could never tell you when I'm gonna update because I do it sort of randomly, but usually every two weeks, or I try anyways! It's kinda like asking me when I'll get up… ( -coughs- Inside joke thing ) and you can't have Ryou!
Bakura: Hell no you can't! He's alll miiiinnneeee!!! -clings to his Ryou plushie-
Uory's Lover: I'm glad you love it of course! -nod, nod- Good luck for you too my friend! And rock on of course!
Chika of the High Mts: Yay, a Solomon plushie? OH BOY!! -huggles it to death- Of course I'll update soon and I'm glad you love the story!
Deranged Kai: Yes, I give away lots of little clues and tidbits about the sequel like… -whisper, whisper- SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIEEE!!! -coughs- Not really! But I can say the Ocean has to do with a chapter… but you will see hopefully soon! Just pray I get this one done! -cries, wishes this was the last chapter- Anyway, much love dear!
Faén Silivren: I saved your day? I always knew I had the will to be a hero! Take that mom, yeah! Dreams really do come true! -cough- Of course I'll continue soon, and I hope you have a lovely little day!
BobGod: Hey, you're so smart! I'm guessing you realized the title was indeed the 'Grease' song! -pats- You deserve a cookie for that!
Fowlet.Press: I wanna read the most evil Yu-Gi-Oh fic in the world!! Lemme seee itttt!!! Of course I'll try to keep up the good work great one, and much love of course!
Amy Hirosaki: Wowie, you're right! I didn't thank you in the last review replies! -cling- I'm so sorry! I must've been the dumb old me I usually am and just looked over it! -bows down- So sorry!! Whee, but I'm glad you liked the last chapter, and once again I'm truly sorry! Haha, I'm happy you like the little 'airplane' extravaganza too! Hope you enjoyed this chapter, and once again your shimmery review/poem knocked my pants off!!
Koumori Wolf: -nods- Yes Marik is very jealous of the Seto-chan, and once again I'm glad you love the story dearest! Faithfully waiting? WOOHOO! Of course I'll update ve-errry soon, and much love!
Kiromoto-san: -nods- That has gotta be strange… -sweatdrop- But I'm glad you're happy with your irregular boy/girl yami/Hikari thingmabob! Much love deary!
