Angela: Hello all. How are we today?
YB: … Fine. Now, why did you drag us here with you?
Angela: If I have to go through undying torture and ruin my plans all day to come here, so do you.
YB: Why… WHY!
YM: ….. –calmly looking out window. - Hey, Angela? Can I eat one of the children?
Angela: No, you cannot eat Jack or Sydney. I just spent a whole hour or two with Jack and then about 20 minutes with Sydney. And much as I hate children, they're too cute to eat.
YM: ... Aww…
Angela: Well, Yami Marik. Since you are so intent on eating them, I guess the only way to keep you outta trouble is to have you do the disclaimer.
YM: Damn… Ok…
Angela: Then get crackin'!
YM: OK, Angela owns none of us, except Yumiko, the oh mighty Zakari, and… Whatever she made up for this. She doesn't own a Spiked Seadra. But the black snake is hers, Guy is, and so are the words Ishmi and Shirkna. You can use them if you like, but please give credit to her for the words and for Guy if you borrow owns his new name, Kadir.
Angela: I'm almost to the lemon scene peoples! Yay! And guess what? They get to kiss soon! W00t! Kistoway did the lemon scene, say thanks to her. Now go read. AND WE'RE BACK FROM THE DEAD TOO, AND HOPEFULLY FOR GOOD! W00T!
Fairy of Obsession: Thanks a lot for the love. And of course I will update soon! I am no longer MIA, and am allowed online again, but only for an hour a day, so the updates will be a lot slower than before… Here, this is your gift! And it has been awhile since you reviewed. I got scared that you went away and left me too….
Silver Danger Blade: Actually, I found out how through a magazine, and that's not it. But thanks for trying to help me wiht it anyway. -waves- Do you know you're the ONLY one who did? Some people... Joking! Anyway, thanks alot for the praise, and guess what? We're back. O.o That's a movie about dinosaurs I haven't seen in years... We're back.. But I digress... Again...
Because I'm an idiot, and extremely sick right now, I have no clue who else reviewed, but thanks to those who did, here is the gifts for all who reviewed... -throws gifts out to reviewers then sits in a chair and nearly dies coughing- Enjoy the fic...
(Start)
Bakura reined his horse in, stopping in front of a tomb. "Look." Yumiko looked to where he pointed. "Damn it! That snake!" The black snake was indeed back. It slithered over, and looked up at her. "Is it stalking me or something!" "Probably is," Bakura answered. "Great. Stalked by a black snake. Damn it all. Why Ra? Why!" Bakura chuckled. "Look at it this way. Now ya have a loyal servant who is lethal, portable, barely eats, and best of all, it'll never back talk to you or disagree," he said jokingly. "Oh yay. Just what I need!" she said sarcastically. "We're not going in there, are we?" "Duh." She looked at him. "Uh, hello? I'm not a tomb robber! I do houses, money, and all the 'normal' stuff! Not tombs!" He shrugged, no longer on his horse. "Afraid of the Gods?" he mocked. "They don't exist to me anymore. I don't want to disturb the dead for a reason…" "Such as?" "My own reasons." "Mhm. Well, either come in with us, or stay out here with him." He pointed to the snake. She shuddered. "You love torturing me, don't you?" "Yes. Are you coming or not?" "Fine…" She got off of Shirkna, grumbling. "You behave Diablo Shirkna," she warned. He nudged her. She patted his head and followed Bakura.
"It's creepy down here… Really creepy…" Yumiko muttered. Bakura shrugged, indifferent to her whining, and stopped. "Someone give me something heavy-ish," he ordered, studying the path. Kadir handed him a fist-sized rock, which he tossed. It landed a few feet away, and a slight click was heard, followed by a low rumble. "MOVE IT! BACK NOW!" Bakura yelled, pushing Yumiko behind him. They backed up, as a panel slid open and spikes thrust out, followed by more. "Did I say 'creepy'? I meant evil. Evil, creepy, and smelly." "It's a tomb." "Like I said. Evil." As the spikes stopped coming, they continued. "Hey, is it normal to see two of you in a spinning room down here…?" Yumiko slurred. "No, what are yo-" he began turning around. She fell forward, and he threw his arms out, catching her. "What the hell!" He looked up, realizing what had happened. "All of you! Out! Now!" he barked. He picked her up and followed the retreating men at a brisk pace.
Upon reaching open air, Bakura ordered them to grab the horses, getting away from the tomb quickly, before lying Yumiko down. "Yumiko, wake up," he said, checking her pulse. It was weak, but there. "Damn it all, why in the name of Anubis didn't we notice!" he growled, shaking her lightly. "Don't you dare die, wake up!" he nearly yelled in her face. He felt her forehead, it was warm. "She better live…" He motioned Kadir over. "Where are the anti-toxins?" Kadir tossed them over, and he snatched the vial out of midair. "Hold her head up!" Kadir obeyed, and Bakura got the liquid down her throat. "One of you, take the demon horse. Let's go." "But the tomb!" "Forget it, it's full of poison gas now," he answered, mounting Ishmi with Yumiko. The men followed.
Yumiko could feel something cold and wet on her forehead. She forced her eyes open, and saw a relieved Kadir. "About time. I was getting worried that Boss would kill someone." "Bakura kill someone? Why?" "You've been out three days, and he's been worried sick. Irritable too. Three guys already have broken hands now." Yumiko sat up, and spotted Bakura eating something slowly. "'Ey Boss! She's awake!" Kadir called. Bakura's head shot up, as Yumiko gave a slight wave and he bolted over, as Kadir left them alone. "You!" He shut up and glared. "Me what?" she asked, shrugging. "You almost gave me a heart attack, nearly dying like that." "Oh, you cared?" He snorted. "I'll take that as a no…" "Yes, you idiot!" She looked up at him, surprised. "Of course I cared," he said again, softer this time. She smiled slightly. "That's nice to know. A first, but nice to know." She shifted, moving closer. He sat down. "Don't do it again, do ya hear?" he asked gently, looking out at the men. "I hear." "Good." "Don't you think we should get moving?" "We will." He sat back, leaning against one of the packs. "When?" "When I feel like it." He looked over, and caught her staring at him. "Why you staring at me?" "No reason… I'm tired…" "Then go to sleep." She started to close her eyes, as he did the same. After a moment, he felt her leaning against his shoulder, her breathing even and rhythmic. She was asleep. Without thinking, he smiled, wrapping an arm around her protectively, feeling her snuggle closer. He started to fall asleep himself, as one of the men poked him. "We staying the night?" He gave a nod, and drifted off to sleep a barely visible smile on his face.
Bakura opened an eye. His men were asleep. And their fire'd died down. Yumiko stirred, shivering, and opened her eyes. "Bakura?" she asked sleepily, blissfully unaware of her position. "Wha?" he asked, yawning. "It's cold…" He blinked, and spotted his blanket nearby. He grabbed it, pulling it over them both. "Better?" he asked with another yawn. She nodded sleepily, then blinked, suddenly wide-awake and aware of what was going on. "Bakura?" she began. "I know," he answered simply, before she could say anything, looking at her. She stared up at him, mildly curious and wary. Seized suddenly by and unpredictable urge, he leaned down and captured her mouth with his own in a gentle kiss. She gasped, and his tongue slid into her mouth, deepening the kiss. He heard her give a small moan, and pulled her closer to him. He broke the kiss, and she gasped, panting slightly, looking up at him. "Bakura…" "Hm?" "What…" she trailed off. He looked at her through half-lidded eyes. Yumiko stared for a moment longer, and then closed her eyes. She was still leaning against him, eyes closed, when she felt his hand in her hair. "You smell good… Like apple blossoms…" he whispered, smiling slightly. "Bakura… Do you…?" "Yes…" She opened her eyes again. "When?" He pulled away so he could look at her face, cupping her chin with his hand, a thumb on her cheek. "I figured it out while you were unconscious." She stared back, unsure. He kissed her again, pushing her onto her side. He broke the kiss once again. "Go to sleep," he whispered. "Are you go-?" "I'm not going anywhere Yumiko. Sleep," he answered, pulling her against him. She closed her eyes and happily fell asleep, sighing.
Yumiko's eyes fluttered open, and she blinked. Bakura's bare chest was in front of her face, his arm around her waist. She smiled and looked around, and her eyes fell upon the black snake, only inches away.

Angela: Cliffhanger! Heh. Well, it took me THREE MONTHS to finally finish typing this up… I procrastinated too long… Sorry! I had so much to do and now finals are coming up soon, in like a month not even… And I also have to deal with my grades being too low and my mom flipping on me for it. So… Sorry to say, BSFABS will be slow to update. However… My newest fic, or poemlet, whichever, should undergo regular updates, at least once a week, since I told my mom it was schoolwork and the teacher, Ra bless him, asked me to post the poems on the site as an extra assignment, which he actually did. But anyway… If you crave my work, just read the poems or something in between, if ya like. Till the next update, ishi, and reviews! I'll give you one of my poems to use freely in your own fic as you choose, provided I get full credit for writing it.
