The weirdest thing about this ordeal was they still had to go to school the next day. And above all that pretend nothing had happened around most people. Thankfully, there were a few people they could tell, but recounting the experience once was enough, so Alyssa decided that Yami and herself would wait to tell the guys until Carly was around, A.K.A. the bus stop.
The next morning, when the accorded alarm clock went off, everyone woke up as usual grumbling about the early hour. Ryou, Bakura, and Yugi noted that Yami and Alyssa looked more tired than usual. And that Alyssa's eyes looked a little red, as if she had been crying for a good part of the night. But, tactful as they were, Ryou and Yugi knew that if it were their business, they would be told what happened when the time was right. Bakura on the other hand...
"What happened?" he asked in a surprisingly caring way.
"You'll find out later, tomb robber," Yami practically snarled back, afraid Alyssa would cry again. She restrained though.
On the trudge to the bus stop everyone noticed Alyssa and Yami were unusually quite. When they got there, Carly noticed that they were not holding hands or arm in arm as they usually were, and thus automatically assumed that something was wrong. Yet, they didn't seem mad at each other.
"All right, what happened with out my knowledge," Carly demanded sarcastically.
"It's kind of a long story..." Yami began, but Alyssa cut him off.
"No, we have to tell them and now is as good of a time as any. You see last night Marik decided it would be a good time to toy with us..." Alyssa told parts of the story with Yami filling in what she couldn't bring herself to say or when she started sobbing too hard. "In any case, Yami had more self- control th-than I thought possible and st-stopped. He saved me,"Alyssa sighed. "I hate Marik." Nods from the group showed that everyone agreed with her. Bakura and Ryou both rubbed their left arm where Marik had stabbed them to seal their deal in the Battle City mess, while Yugi and Yami both clutched their Millennium Puzzle copies instinctively. "Thank you," Alyssa started crying all over again on Yami's chest, hugging him. Who could have expected her to get over almost being rapped in one day anyway?
"I'm so sorry Alyssa," Carly consoled.
"W-what for?" Alyssa sniffed.
"If I had been able to convince my parents I wouldn't have put you in this uber horrible position..." "Don't worry. You're not the one to blame. Only Marik is." The bus pulled up, thus ending any further conversation.
As the week passed and October neared Alyssa slowly became comfortable with Yami again, even giving him a peck on the lips on Thursday. Friday they were going to go to the mall for movie and dinner, in an attempt by Yami to lift Alyssa's gloomy mood.
The movie they "saw", and I use that term loosely, was Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King. By "saw" it means a three hours make out session in the back of the theater. Licking their lips, they walked out hand in hand, smiling at each other. Just another young couple in love to the casual observer. As they were ordering dinner, Yami surprised Alyssa.
"How would you like to go on a picnic instead of eat here?" he asked.
"Oh I'd love to!" Alyssa enthusiastically replied, clapping her hands, until she realized how dorky that was and stopped.
And so the couple drove to a little meadow in the woods that Yami had found a dew days ago when he was lost. Yami pulled out a blanket from the back of the car and spread it out on the ground. He apologized for not packing a real picnic basket, but Alyssa cut him off, understanding that Yami couldn't cook for beans. After all, Alyssa knew no one else that could ruin cereal without even milk to help them.
As the meal progressed Yami and Alyssa chattered about various things ranging from school to teeth brushing styles.
"So what do you want for your birthday?" Yami asked. Although he knew what he was giving her, he felt it only right to ask the traditional annoying question.
"Erg, I hate it when people ask that, I'm never prepared," Alyssa pouted. "The Millennium Necklace," Alyssa said sarcastically while rolling her eyes, thus missing Yami's eyes bug out and him gagging on the soda he was drinking when Alyssa said that. Alyssa talked on, unaware of how Yami had almost died a few moments ago. "I'm just kidding, I realize that will only go to its destined owner. Um.. How about a Dance, Dance Revolution game for my Play station? I really don't care if you get me anything. I just love to be around you."
"Then what do you want to do for your birthday?" Yami questioned.
"It wouldn't be fun if it wasn't a surprise."
"What ever, I just hope you like what I've decided to do," Yami sighed, having no idea what to do with Alyssa on her birthday.
"I'm sure I will."
"Het look, the big dipper." Yami pointed to the sky. Consequently, he laid back in the soft grass. Alyssa laid next to him and he put his arm behind her head and around her shoulders to protect Alyssa from the slight chill.
"Orion's belt." Alyssa pointed at the three bright stars.
"Scorpio and the Hydra."
"The big bear that I can't remember the name of." And so they continued to name the constellations until they couldn't remember any more of their names. Then they lapsed into comfortable silence, content to just think about each other. The moonlight brightened the small meadow and made the numerous flowers seem to glow, giving this place a distinctly romantic atmosphere.
Yami got Alyssa's attention and looked her in the eye. "Alyssa I love you," he said honestly. Yami held his breath, hoping Alyssa would respond in the same manner. If not, Yami would undoubtably be crushed.
"Yami, I love you too," Alyssa beamed. She too, had been waiting for this moment for awhile. They smiled at each other and leaned in for a kiss. It quickly changed nationalities and became French all while heating up, but all too soon oxygen became a necessity and they had to break apart for air. Again they smiled lovingly at each other.
"I'll get the tent," Yami said about ten minutes later.
Alyssa had a brilliant response to that. "Huh?" she asked, confused. "Don't we have to go home?"
Yami chuckled. "Well, um.... your parents kind of think you're at Carly's house and that I'm staying at Harrison's." Noting Alyssa's raised eyebrow, Yami blubbered on. "It's ok if you don't want to stay. You could just always say you got sick..."
"You lied to my parents, nice... but yes I would like to stay in this beautiful meadow for the night."
"Alrighty then," Yami started setting up the tent while talking. "Actually, I think that you're parents know we are out here, because they glimpsed me sneaking supplies out to the car. Apparently, they trust us enough not to do anything stupid."
Alyssa sighed. "Yeah they do. It's so great to be out of the house, especially after the... incident last week. I'm just petrified Marik will try something again," she sniveled.
Yami lovingly kissed her temple and wrapped her in a warm hug. "It'll be alright, don't worry about that now. After all, this is out night away from all that, out of the house. So try not to think about him." Seeing his strong Alyssa, his one true love, in this weak state nearly brought Yami himself to tears. She didn't smile as much nor laugh as much for that matter. When she did laugh it would either sound forced or she would cut herself off, reminding herself not to be happy all because of Marik. Yami decided to think of more ways to cheer Alyssa up when they returned home in the morning.
Yami laid out all the blankets in the tent then tossed Alyssa her pajamas he had brought her, motioning for her to change in the tent while he locked up the car. "Does this mean you went through my dresser?" Alyssa shouted to Yami through the tent while pulling off her clothes. She pretended to sound scandalized.
"Erm, yes it does, but I swear I only went through your underwear drawer to get what you would need." Realizing her had said too much Yami very nearly smacked himself in the forehead. "Er, um...I mean that..."
"Yami you dog," Alyssa proclaimed. Yami blushed in embarrassment, thankful Alyssa couldn't see him. "I'm just kidding I know you are not lying to me.
/If only she knew the truth./ Yami smirked, after all what male could resist a free opportunity to go through his girlfriend's lingerie all while having a perfect excuse for it.
Then it was Yami's turn to change while Alyssa stayed out of the tent. After he had done so, they lay down snuggling close to one another in their warm comfortable bed and talked. A few hours later the talking slowly quieted and the fell into peaceful slumber, and for the first time in a week, Alyssa wasn't worrying about Marik.
