((Ryou's P.O.V))

I think Mr. Bakura here skipped school. Wait till I get him at home. I sat down in Marik's kitchen waiting for him to pull out his homework so I could help him and just hurry to get home to Bakura.

He stared at me making me feel uncomfortable.

"Ryou," He started.

"Yes Marik." I replied.

"Do you like Bakura again?"

I felt my whole body freeze up and get cold. After that they just turned into goose bumps.

"Um no of course not I'm over him remember?"

He nodded.

"You seem like you've grown even more attached to him rather than drifted apart." He said.

"Well, I can't really help that he needs my help most of the time." I said. Good cover Ryou, good cover.

"He's never helped you. Why do you help him?"

God Marik stop asking me questions!

"I help everyone. See I'm helping you with your homework."

Marik looked at me suspiciously.

Yami Marik came in on us and saw me teaching Marik calculus.

"Marik...has calculus!" He laughed for a really long time.

"What?" I asked.

"Marik's the slowest piece of shit in math!" Yami Marik said wiping a few tears.

"Don't say that about him you're hurting his feelings."

Marik sniffed and put his head on the table sadly.

"Aw, he knows how I could make it up to him." Yami Marik said messing up his hair. "Huh, huh ping-pong hmm?" He added walking away and laughing.

"He's mean and I hate it when he messes up my hair." Marik said.

I looked at his already messy hair. I guess Marik will always be Marik. When I was finally through "doing" yet showing Marik how to do his homework, I looked at how late it was.

"Oh my god. It's so late. I didn't even call Bakura or anything to tell him where I was going." I panicked.

"So?" Marik asked.

"I got to go Marik. Good night."

Marik ran in front of me.

"Uh um do you want to stay over? It's really late who knows what could happen to you." He asked.

"That's very nice of you to think about my safety and all, but I really should be getting home."

I pushed him away lightly and started walking home.

I wonder what Bakura will do to me when I get home. Will he even care that I got home so late or will he have actually been worried?

I can't believe time just flew like that. One minute it was 4:00 in the afternoon the next it's 12. Wow…Marik's really slow.

I walked up the steps to my apartment room drowsily. Looks like the drowsiness decided to hit me now. I yawned quietly and scrambled for my keys in my book bag silently so I didn't wake Bakura up if he wasn't already.

I closed the door behind me softly and tiptoed to my room. I sighed loudly. Good I'm clear must be asleep. Aw, and I wanted to sleep with him again.

I took of my shirt and felt something pin me to the wall.

"Ryou Bakura where the hell have you been!" Bakura screamed at me turning on the light.

"Bakura…I…you're awake."

"You bet I'm awake. I've been waiting all night for you!"

Oh that's a good thing to say.

"Why were you awake? Were you worried about me?" I asked pulling him closer to me.

"Of course I wasn't worried about you. Psssh! Why should I be worried about you?" He said unpinning me.

"Will you tell me the truth if I told you I missed you a lot at the time when I was gone?"

He'd have to tell me something after saying that.

He blushed. That's so adorable I wanted to pinch his cheek and squeeze him like a plushy.

"Uh…um…o-ok. I was really worried about you. You had me…scared for a little while." He said hugging me.

I hugged him closely as well resting my head on his neck.

"Where were you?" He asked.

I shivered when he ran his finger down my hair.

"I was at Marik's house teaching him calculus." I said.

"Marik's house!" He said pushing me away, ruining the moment and sounding upset.

"Yes." I said looking for a t-shirt to put on.

"That asshole—" He grumbled the rest.

I yawned tiredly.

"Have you eaten anything at all?" He asked me.

"No." I said jumping into bed.

"I'll make you something if you'd like."

I love it when he was nice. I was a little hungry but…

"That's all right I'm fine. Good night Bakura." I said shutting off my lamp.

He shut the door behind him and I heard him walking upstairs.

I sighed happily. Bakura was worried about me. Me! I'm so happy. This is the happiest I've ever been. I do love him more now. I don't even remember why I stopped liking him in the first place. He's just too irresistible to stop loving.

I chuckled to myself. I can't go to sleep on my excitement. I want to be with him. I want to talk with him again till I get sleepy again.

I got out of bed and made it because I knew I wouldn't be forced back down here. I walked up the steps and walked into his room only to see him sleeping holding up a book. A book? Since when did Bakura read?

I crawled up to him and grabbed the book.

"Bakura's journal." I whispered opening it up.

I knew what I was doing was wrong and goes against the rules of a roommate's privacy policy, but it's Bakura we're talking about here.

I opened it to the middle pages and started reading.

"April 24.

My god do I hate Ryou. Even though I hate his ass he still makes me hot though."

I make Bakura hot. Wow how cool. I kept on reading.

"He's such an idiot! Like I really care about him anyway. I can't stand looking at him. He just pisses me off. But he makes me totally hot I got to give him credit for that. Just so hot I'd kiss just about anyone and not just any plain kiss either. Tongue and all that good package. They better fear me when I'm in that mood."

Who knew Bakura was such a hyper person? Not to mention wild. I knew he was badass, but wild as well. Some new features added perhaps.

I turned the page.

April 25

I still hate Ryou and this dull school he's dragged me into. I smacked Ryou with balls in P.E today playing dodge ball. Little dumb fuck got in my way and I totally missed nailing Tea. Little bitch. I just want to grab him and choke him to death cutting him and—

Ok let's skip up ahead to another era.

"May 12

Great we're going on a stupid vacation. Ugh I hate vacations especially the people whom I'm going with. Ryou I can't stand him I wish he was dead and burned in hell. Marik don't get me started with that bitch. Everyone else could kiss my ass.

I'll write in this thing later.---

I told all these losers I used to love Ryou. I only loved Ryou because he freaking made me hot and he was the best kisser I've ever kissed. Meh, and I thought he'd be crappy because he's a nerd. I saw Ryou crying in his sleep. Who the hell cries in their sleep? Only Ryou. Only him. Ah well whatever that's his problem."

Ok I witnessed this already I want the deeper secrets. I flipped the pages quickly. I heard him moan and jumped down to the floor. Whew, false alarm.

"May 15

So here we are at the beach. We've been here a couple of days already. Everything is pretty ok and Yami Marik scares the shit out of me—

Yami Marik scares Bakura! Oh my god! That's something you don't hear everyday. I'll ask him one day.

--I overheard him talking to Ryou and what the hell was all I had to say to that. What the hell was he doing poisoning Ryou's mind like that! Ryou does need me. God if he didn't have me he'd be nothing! He'd be nothing without me. But I have to admit…I'd be nothing without him either. Look at me saying this. I guess I have grown…a little attached to him--

I giggled and read on.

--but that doesn't mean I like him."

I sighed in disappointment and flipped the page. I don't know why I'm reading this it's not like I'm going to get anywhere.

"June 2

I've finally apologized to Ryou. I'm glad to finally have that off my chest. All that guilt was accumulating and trying to take over me. Who knew I could hold it in that long and keep such a good posture? But just because I apologized to him does not mean that I like him. I can't keep repeating this to myself."

I wanted to put the book away all this stuff was just killing me in the inside. I'm starting to mourn again. No! I just can't help it. Anyone would do it if they were in my position.

"I also told him not to change. I don't exactly know why I told him this, but then at the same time I do. That didn't come out right. Oh well, whatever what are the odds I'll ever read this page again? I only told him not to change because I liked him the way he was. If he changed I wouldn't have the same person to beat on and it would seem different and to add to that, I hate change it's why I don't hardly ever and they have to make a really big effort to get me to change.—"

See I told Yami Marik Bakura takes his time in changing. I know more about Bakura…than he knows anything about himself. I still can't believe the only reason why he said that to me was because…ah never mind. I knew it was crap anyway.

"June 3

I felt really bad for Ryou today. Dude, I actually felt sorry for him. He's totally in love with me! I guess I could keep leading him on—"

My jaw dropped. Leading me on! I growled angrily. What the hell! I'm too shocked at the moment what's that again leading me on! Oh my god! I kept reading:

"Ryou didn't expect me to actually love him did he? I explained to him why already. Too much to write and plus I know anyway I don't need to make note of it. I told that kid Ryou I'd hang out with him only because I pitied him. I would have never done it if I didn't pity him so much. Poor guy he's never gonna get what he wants. I do give him credit for always having my back, it's not like I need it anyway. So that's two things he's good for: having my back and making me hot."

I couldn't take anymore of this. This was recent too! I can't believe he only likes me because I make him hot! What the hell is that? What do I do!

"Ryou would be good…wearing a paper bag over his head. Hahahahahahaha!"

I literally gasped so loud that I started choking. Paper bag. Paper bag! Ahh! I'm getting so pissed here.

"June 4

It was one of our last nights here. I slept on the couch and I had the weirdest dream! Weird because Ryou was in it…without the paper bag! Ahahahaha! I laugh at myself. I'm too funny. Well anyway, I know I haven't written it in the before entries…((wow…"the before entries" Could I have a gayer moment?)) as I was writing ((there I go again geez Tea's getting to me))—"

I chuckled. That was pretty funny.

"--in my dream it felt like Ishizu had woken me up from watching TV. I went back to my room and I woke Ryou when I sat on the bed. He was being all touchy feely on me and…and I was enjoying it."

Guess I'm not that worthless after all. I smiled.

"From then on we went to kissing. Dude, what a fucked up dream. Kissing Ryou. Wow. That kiss looked good too. Was going on for a long time till I woke up."

I was getting excited and forgot how pissed I was from before and went on.

"I did absolutely nothing at the beach and just mainly stared at everyone…mostly Ryou. Why was I staring at him so much? Probably to get myself hot again."

I yanked my hair. If I could underline the word hot in this journal I'd get like a million!

"I had changed myself and thought differently of Ryou. I was still leading him on though. Good I still have the power. Heheheh."

I got mad again. This little ass of a Yami keeps messing with me like that.

"June 5

Finally! We're leaving this dumb place. I was getting tanned in places I didn't even know could get tanned! I started—"

What the hell? I flipped the page. My god! It was still going on! I flipped twice. Ah, it's over.

"We had gone to a bar and I don't know how many drinks I had, but I as totally drunk man. A stripper lady sexually molested Ryou and that was hilarious damn and I missed it. Wonder how he did with that? "Oh please stop, I can't. This is against my religion. I can't kiss or touch or look or do anything. Ahhh! My nail! I've gone and broken my nail. Fudge." Ahahahahahaha! I'm such a good impersonator. Oooh one more! "Where's my hat?" :grabs and puts on a paper bag: Hahahaha! Whoo! I'm really good."

I growled angrily and gripped the book ripping it at the top. Oh shit! Oops.

"I was so drunk…I kissed him like I was in one of my hot moods. I wonder how that was for him. I wonder if I went a little too hard and gone and broken his whole body. Hahahaha! I'm just joking. He's a good kid. All I know I was totally hot when I was drunk."

And there's another hot geez.

"But I respect him…a little now. I still rank on him, but playfully…I've grown to accept this "again" yes again…that I—"

Bakura moaned and he put his hand on my shoulder. I threw the book under the bed and froze up inside. I hope I didn't get caught! I sat there stiffly.

"What are you doing here?" He asked chuckling and nuzzling his head against mine.

"Um…nothing. Just…looking for my lost…shoe. Yes…lost shoe." I said nervously.

He turned the lamp on and rubbed his eyes.

"It's 2:00 Ryou. You should be sleeping you have that school thing tomorrow."

I shrugged my shoulders in a lackadaisical gesture.

"I don't care that much. I plan on staying home." I said jumping up to sit on the bed.

"So you're not going? I guess I don't have to go." He said folding his arms behind his head.

"Oh you're going mister because you skipped today." I said smiling.

"I didn't skip that's poppycock. Who told you that?" He asked trying hard not to smile.

"A little person told me by the name of Marik." I said.

"Marik." He growled.

"What do you have against Marik anyway?"

"He's getting in the way of us!" He said loudly.

I blushed.

"Oh…uh…th-that didn't come out right."

"I'm sure it didn't." I sighed.

He stretched and lay on his side.

"My book! Where's my book!" He panicked.

I froze up again.

"W-what book?" I asked.

"None of your concern." He said searching frantically for it.

I feel so bad now that I invaded his privacy.

He lifted his head.

"You! You didn't get it did you!" He asked angrily.

I gulped.

"How dare you accuse me of getting it!" I said trying to sound fearless.

"I'm sorry. I just—that book is very valuable to me. I just asked you because you were looking for your shoe and…I thought you might have gotten it." He said.

"It's ok. No I didn't get it." I said.

He sighed.

"Why don't you…look for it in the morning and pay more attention to me?" I asked.

He looked at me and cocked an eyebrow. What did I say? Whoops that was awkward.

"That book is important Ryou." He said firmly. "I have no time to play games with you now."

Games?

"Maybe it's under your bed or something." I said.

He looked under the bed and sighed in relief.

"Oooh I found it." He said hugging it and putting it away.

I feel totally guilty now for eavesdropping in something that much of value to him.

"Ryou are you hiding something from me?" He asked me.

Oh no! Did he find out!

"No! No of course not Bakura. Wh-why do you ask?" I asked nervously.

I felt sweat rolling down my face.

Bakura stood up and stood me up as well.

"I sense you're hiding something from me. Something of regret."

"I…I…I I'm not. Really no I'm not." I said sweating some more.

"Ryou." He said firmly.

"I'm not leave me alone." I said turning away from him.

"You are hiding something. Tell me please." He said.

"No I'm not!" I screamed.

He smiled enticingly at me and grabbed my shoulder.

"Will you tell me if I…did something amazing to you?" He asked me.

Amazing? Amazing how?

"I'm not hiding anything from you." I lied trying to push him away.

"Why are you pushing me away?" He asked only moving closer. "Are you afraid of me?"

He was freaking me out right now I could say.

"If Marik comes in here and interrupts I can't guarantee he'll live."

Harsh. That's something mean to say.

He grabbed my face and kissed me slowly.

He wanted me to tell him this badly? I can't he'd hate me forever. I'd hate him if he went through my stuff. Well, not hate him. I could say…Marik made me do it because…I dunno he wanted revenge. Yea that would work he'd believe me, but then he could kill Marik knowing how he's not even hesitating for a moment for Marik to slip up and slit his throat. I could…blame Yami Marik! That's perfect. He's afraid of him. But then Yami Marik might find out and being all "smarter and wiser than me" he'd know I'd put him up to it and he'd come after me. But I have Bakura…or Marik. But Marik's a chicken shit he won't help and Bakura…Yami Marik would probably say that I read it instead of him or something and…and…I'd have them both on my asses! Unless…I blame Tea! Yes! She'd never know it was I and she wouldn't even know what was going on. I don't really care about her anyway. Bakura could kill her and I wouldn't give a damn. This is stupid. I just won't say anything.

"Are you going to tell me now?" He asked me through the kiss.

I shook my head.

He kissed me more roughly and his hand slipped.

I bit him and pushed him away.

He chuckled.

"I'm going to go now Bakura. I'm…tired." I said trying to get passed him.

"Aw, come on Ryou let's play." He said playfully.

"No. Sorry."

This was my only time. I couldn't possibly do it because I felt so guilty at what I had done and I know he was trying to win me over so I could tell him.

He pushed me roughly to the wall and chuckled.

Marik where are you at a time like this?

The doorknob was rattling. Yes! I love you Marik! Ok…no I take that back after I just envisioned him.

"Ryou I know you're in here since you weren't downstairs and I wanted to know…it's about Marik's—whoa! I came in at a bad time."

It was Yami Marik! What! You'd think Marik would interrupt, but Yami Marik. It's like…3:00 in the morning. What's wrong with everyone? They don't come in the morning, but they come at the weirdest times.

Bakura kissed me roughly and I tried hard to push him off. My feeble arms and me. I need to work out. I signaled Yami Marik to grab Bakura and push him off of me.

"No." Bakura said sounding desperate.

I had a drooling fit making him detach himself from me.

"Ugh." He said in disgust wiping his lip.

I crawled out from under him and got behind Yami Marik.

"I'm gonna get you Ryou." He said playfully trying to get me from behind Yami Marik.

Yami Marik grabbed Bakura and tossed him in a corner.

"I need to speak with Ryou." He said angrily.

Bakura sunk in the corner.

"Marik didn't really get the calculus you were teaching him Ryou and he was being a real pain saying you had a test and he really needed to pass it. He wants you to go over yet again to teach him." Yami Marik said.

"It's 3 in the morning." I said.

"You tell Marik that." Yami Marik said grabbing my arm.

"Wait." I said.

I went over to Bakura.

"Bakura, I swear I'm not keeping anything from you. Please stop acting so strange."

…Even if it was enjoyable.

"I'm sorry." He apologized.

"I'll be back later ok. Don't stay up for me I can't guarantee I'll be back…its Marik we're talking about." I gave him a hug.

He started chuckling and licked me.

"Yes…that's very nice a goodbye lick thanks I appreciate that." I said wiping my neck and walking off with Yami Marik.

"What was that all about?" Yami Marik asked cocking an eyebrow.

"Ugh! I have to tell someone! I trust you very much Yami Marik you have to promise me with your life it will never slip out and you will NOT I repeat NOT tell Marik. You know how bad he is at keeping secrets." I begged.

"Sure what's up?" He asked.

"I…I read Bakura's journal. I feel so guilty now! I invaded his privacy and now he knows I'm hiding something because I dunno he's some weirdo guy that senses guilt!" I started crying.

"Ryou it's ok. I won't tell anyone. Now tell me…what good stuff did you read?" He asked me nudging me.

"Oh no. Oh no I can't possibly tell you. It's bad enough I told you."

"Come on." He begged.

"Ok, but just one. He's…afraid of you."

Yami Marik laughed loudly.

"Afraid of me! Oh that's rich! Thanks Ryou." He said smiling.

"Don't tease him now please." I begged.

"All right. Damn." He mumbled.

We entered the museum and I saw Marik tossed out on the couch.

I patted his back making him turn his head.

"Ryou." He said happily.

"Come on let's go study Marik." I said helping him up from the couch.

I was teaching him when I noticed he was distracted. Distracted on me.

"Is there something wrong Marik?" I asked him.

"Actually, yes there is." He said.

"May I ask what it is?" I asked.

"Ryou…I really like you." He said.

"What!" I asked in shock.

Chapter 14 everyone. Yes. 14. Never liked that number, but whatever lol. Only 19 chapters….NO IT'S ALMOST FINISHED! Lol. I'm sooo adding more. Lol. Just can't get enough of this story. It reminds me of all the idiots that have boyfriends and girlfriends and "little Marik's" or cockblockers lol! But I see this so much more differently then all you…other people lol. I won't explain it because…I dunno lol. I laugh a lot. Yea and I've rethought about it…I will "try" not to be forced to take this story down. Seeing as how you guys like it. Oooh ooh you guys are probably sooo shocked now lol. But I'll keep the rest to myself because it won't be long before it explains itself.

For the Bakura's first fans:

I've written a couple of…um…pages of Bakura's first haircut lol. It's coming along fine. And I'll post it up soon hopefully. Then I'll work on the other ones. If you have any ideas feel free to just you know…pass them on and I'll give you a dedication.
