A/n: I'm frighteningly having fun writing this! (giggles) If you thought Anzu's dream about Bakura was interesting...Bakura's dream about Anzu is down right fascinating. Glad everyone's enjoying so far. Keep those reviews coming so I'll have inspiration! Ja!
Forever in Darkness: Bakura's Plot.
'.'...'.'...'.'...'.'
Bakura lounged around on his couch, bored out of his mind.
Ryou refused to speak to him because he'd made Anzu cry.
All he'd done was tell her the truth.
It would have been mean to make her think that he had feelings for her.
It wasn't long before he realized it was pouring outside.
He sat up only for a moment to look out at the sheet of white.
'It would really suck to be walking in this.'
He laid his head down and closed his eyes.
Shortly he was startled by a knock on the door.
He stood and flung it open, curious to see who would be that crazy and found a soaking Anzu.
Tears rolled down her cheeks and she was shivering in the cold rain.
"Anzu what..."
She threw herself into his arms and looked up into his eyes.
"Take advantage of me!"
He blinked for a moment, trying to figure out what was going on.
"I don't love you Anzu."
She kissed him, shutting the door with her foot as she pushed him backwards.
"I'm not asking you to. Pharaoh won't leave me alone and only you can comfort me."
For a moment he thought to say no to her but her eyes were so pleading that he had to give in.
He pulled her into the bathroom and turned on the water in the tub.
"First we have to get you warmed up...and out of those wet clothes."
He stepped back as she began to undress, facing away from him.
He studied her body and gently placed his hands on her hips, turning her to him.
"Bakura...tell me what I want to hear. I don't care if it's true."
Suddenly he felt guilty.
"I can't do this Anzu...obviously you've been hurt and I can't take advantage of you like that. It's wrong."
She blinked back tears as he took off his shirt and placed it around her shoulders.
"The bath should be ready in a moment, you can stay here but don't ask me to sleep with you again."
She hugged the shirt closer around her freezing body and he wrapped his arms around her, kissing her head.
"It's okay...we'll get him back for this, you just wait. I'll fix everything for you."
He closed his eyes as he took his shirt back from her while she stepped into the steaming water.
He sat on the edge beside her and picked up one of Ryou's many bath spunges.
She smiled as she began to relax.
He dipped it into the water and gently brushed it across her shoulders and neck.
"Anzu..."
He felt on the verge of saying something he wasn't sure of.
"Anzu I love..."
Suddenly the sound of thunder crashed loudly through the apartment and he sat up, looking around wildly.
He was still laying on the couch in the living room.
"Take advantage of me? Not a chance in hell would she ever say anything that wild."
He settled back with a sigh.
'I wonder if she really looks that good without clothes on.'
Smirking to himself he turned over and closed his eyes.
'Now I want to go back to sleep...wonder if I could get that dream again? Only It'd be different. Take advantage of you? Whatever you say.'
'.'...'.'...'.'...'.'
Pharaoh stood in front of the Kaiba Corp main building and glanced up at the top floor.
Night was falling and he wanted to get this over with.
He had hoped that by releasing Seto in his office, he'd believe he'd been dreaming.
He also wanted to be a safe distance away when he did.
He closed his eyes, focusing his energy on the card and soon a bright light flooded from it.
Seto sat up and looked around.
For a few moments he questioned if he had been dreaming or not, however when he realized he still had Anzu's bracelets in his pocket, he knew that he had again been trapped in his card.
He took out his cell phone as it rang andglared out the window.
"You failed Kaiba. I'm going to give you one last chance. If it's not Yugi who rescues her I'll make sure you never see the light of day again."
He hung it up for a moment and dialed a number.
"I need you to pick someone up for me. Tomorrow night at eleven thirty make sure she's in the car...do whatever you have to."
He walked to the window and looked down.
Spotting the shadowy figure below he smiled.
'This isn't over Yugi. I will take back what's mine.'
'.'...'.'...'.'...'.'
The next morning Anzu decided to talk to Bakura.
She had to convince herself that what she felt for him was nothing more than a crush brought on by him saving her.
Slowly she walked up to his door and knocked quietly.
Inside he was still crashed on the couch.
When he heard the door he thought he was still dreaming so he answered it.
"Wow...this dream again? But why aren't you all wet this time? No matter, you still look great, I'll go get the bath ready...unless the bed is okay."
It wasn't until she started giggling that he realized she was really standing in front of him.
"Actually, the bed sounds good...but aren't you moving a little fast?"
He laughed quietly and pulled her in.
"I guess I should make sure I'm still dreaming before I actually open my mouth...though something tells me you didn't mind."
She smiled.
"We're both adults now. It's nothing I haven't experienced before."
Something burned him about that statement...probably because he knew she was referring to Pharaoh.
They had been so happy together the first two years that it made him sick.
He grinned suddenly.
"You're not going to beg me to take advantage of you right? Because I mean, it'd be meaningless but you are definitely a pretty girl."
She stared at him for a moment before beginning to giggle again.
"That must have been a wild dream."
He shook his head as he drew her over to the couch.
"Actually no. It started out that way but...I couldn't go trough with it."
She gave him a confused look.
"You mean I threw myself in your arms, begged you to take me and you said NO!"
He nodded.
"Something to that effect. You were soaking wet because you had walked all the way here in the rain. You were crying, pharaoh had somehow mistreated you, and then you shouted to take advantage of you."
She thought about that for a moment.
"Never...I have never been that desperate."
He chuckled.
"I can't imagine you actually doing something like that...you're too pure for that sort of thing."
She looked up at him seriously.
"So what made you say no?"
He stared into her eyes for a moment.
"After you undressed I held you in my arms and you begged me to tell you what you wanted to hear. You wanted me to say that I loved you even if it wasn't true and I couldn't. I gave you my shirt and told you that you could stay here. You're eyes...they looked at me with such sadness that I knew it was the wrong thing to do."
He took her hand gently and she looked into his eyes as she spoke.
"And you don't really love me right?"
He closed his eyes tightly.
"I don't know. I know that something makes me want to protect you and Ryou says that's part of love. But I've never been in love before. So why are you here again?"
He was becoming uncomfortable.
This wasn't him; he wasn't soft like this...and sure as hell not honest about his feelings.
She looked away, pulling her hand back into her lap.
"Bakura-san...I have to know something or I won't be able to live with myself."
He looked into her eyes with a deep sigh.
"I think it's the same question that's been on my mind. I didn't feel this way about you until I brought you home."
She could barely breath now; he was so close.
"Protectiveness is also a part of lust Bakura."
He smirked for a moment.
"If I wanted you I wouldn't have let you go so soon."
He watched a spark of fear light in her eyes and before she could reply he softly captured her lips with his.
For a moment pictures of Seto flashed before her but as she fell into his embrace they were replaced by images of Bakura.
He released her only for a few seconds before kissing her more roughly, provoking a low moan from her.
His fingers trailed loosely up to her neck where he began to gently stroke.
Suddenly she tore away from him with a scream and stood.
He looked up at her in concern and stood as well.
"What? What did I do?"
She began to shake and tears welled up in her eyes.
"He did that every time he was going to give me the shot."
Bakura slowly walked up to her.
"It's okay Anzu...you're safe now."
He caught her as her legs gave out below her.
"I know but when you did that, I saw him! I opened my eyes and it was him instead of you!"
He sighed as he picked her up and carried her into his room.
"I think you need to sleep some. I'm sure it's been hard to."
She took his hands as he set her on the bed.
"I'm sorry...I was just so scared while I was there and then you..."
He silenced her with a kiss and nodded.
"It's understandable."
She looked up into his eyes and her question made him smirk.
"Bakura...will you lay with me?"
He laid down beside her and wrapped his arms around her.
She was quiet for a moment until she looked up into his eyes.
"You wouldn't...force me to..."
He closed his eyes and kissed her forehead.
"I'm evil, not a pig."
She smiled and closed her eyes, snuggling closer to him.
"I don't care if you love me or not, but I do enjoy this...it's been so long since I was just held like this."
They laid together silently after that and Bakura began to think.
Seto would be plotting again by now and Anzu wasn't safe, nor would she be until something happened to him.
Whether it be jail or death, something needed to stop him.
Suddenly he began to form an idea of his own.
"Anzu..."
She looked up at him.
"Yes?"
He pulled her closer.
"I know how to put him in his place, permanently. You have to trust me that I won't let him hurt you."
She stared up into his face.
"Bakura what are you thinking?"
The look in his ruby eyes when he opened them scared her.
"I'm going to deliver you into his arms one last time. When it's over you'll be free of him forever. Will you do it willingly?"
She closed her eyes tightly, fighting back tears.
"I will."
He kissed her head softly.
"For right now though, we'll just lay here." She closed her eyes with a nod.
'Mark my words Seto...you will pay for what you've done to her.'
A soft voice broke into his thoughts.
'So...have you figured it out yet?'
He growled.
"No! Stop asking...I'll tell you when I do."
When she was asleep he covered her gently and left the room, closing the door.
He picked up the phone.
"Seto Kaiba...This is Bakura. You remember me don't you? I said I'd help you bait Yugi. Call me back when you get this and we'll negotiate...I have Mazaki. We'll make a trade."
