EDITED!

Whew, finally able to update. You'll love this!

Flamer: I better.

I wasn't talking to you, but you will, because it features the song 'Slow Motion'. It doesn't belong to me, but it will be played at my future club, 'Silver Waterfalls' that DOES belong to me. ON WITH THE FIC!

The next afternoon was pretty uneventful. Ryou, Bakura, and Malik had slept in late, not aware that everyone but Seto and Otogi had left. Even though they said that they were going to leave early, they slept over. In the mean time, as they waited for the guys to wake up upstairs, they kept busy blasting the radio to 'Slow Motion'. What did you expect? It was 2 in the afternoon!

OHHHH!
I like it that. She workin' that back
I don't know how to act!
Slow motion fa me, slow motion fa me Slow motion fa me -move it-
Slow motion fa me.

Seto kissed Otogi's neck and the raven-haired boy grinded their hips. They were definately 'slow motioning'. However, their foreplay was interupted by the clearing of the throat. They froze, turning to the steps, where Bakura was smirking, his arms crossed.

"Oh, don't mind me; I love the song, too. However, weren't you two leaving?"

Throughly embaressed, Otogi blushed beat red, looking down. Seto just chuckled.
"It slipped our minds. Nothing else to do on a Saturday expect dance. In your case, it's sleeping."

The albino demon yawned, lifting his arms.

"You have a point. I don't mind, but be glad I caught you and not Ryou." He stated before going into the kitchen.

Taking the invitation, the two started to dance again, this time to 'Nasty Girl'. Bakura watched them from the kitchen, his thoughts straying to Ryou, who was still asleep upstairs. How with the music, he didn't know. However, he started to chuckle, knowing that he had cause a great amount of sexual stress upon him. That, to Bakura, was the best type of torture.

But, he hadn't done it to be sadistic... this time.

/- I admit... I do love my hikari very much. How could I resist him once he changed his eye color to emerald and I could truly appericiate his beauty? How I would love to strangle Seto and Otogi... for I envy them both. -/

Bakura wanted to dance with Ryou like that; swing with him, grind with him. That didn't phase the tomb robber, though. Bakura's plan to get his arms around and under Ryou was underway... from his newly developed fetish for apples.

Well, in truth, Bakura always loved apples. It was the fruit he would steal from the market place most often. He even developed a way to dry the juicy fruit in the Egyptian heat and then add the right seasonings he would steal from Atemu's palace. They were the toast of his town... and Bakura earned a little money from his 'apple chips'.

However, thanks to modern times taking his idea, Bakura could just easily buy them at the store, but that would take the fun out of eating a whole apple and seducing his poor hikari. He laughed at himself, making sure Ryou heard it in his sleep.

Suddenly, as the radio played 'White Houses', Bakura picked up the scent of something... orange. Looking at the floor under the table he was sitting in, he found a pile of whipped cream and peach juice. Nose lifted, he came to the conclusion that Marik had come for a visit last night.

Using common sense and playing events in order, Bakura had found that Marik had a serious crush on his own hikari -Malik- but being the teasing type, he would take his frustrations out on his favorite food, peaches. He would steal peaches from Atemu's fruit bowl all the type in Egypt. And now, in modern types, the introduction of whipped cream added to the flavor. The sweet and fruity taste let Marik release stress from knowing that Malik... was trying to get HIS Ryou.

When it all came down to it, everyone wanted Ryou...

/- Malik won't get him. He should stick with Marik. He's a rough lover... like him. -/ Bakura chuckled, taking an apple from the kitchen fruit blow and eating it casually.

"Thinking of your emerald prince?"

Bakura gasped, coughing on the piece of apple he had in his mouth. Looking around for who said that, he growled, seeing Seto snickering on the cough and Otogi smirking.

"So, you've got hots for Ryou. How cute..." The raven-haired dicer chuckled.

Bakura didn't have to ask for the two to know what he was thinking.

"It's quite obvious to figure it out, especially from last night. Seto got me the same way." Otogi added, his message not quite clear... until you thought about it.

Bakura lifted an eyebrow, interested. Otogi sat next to his dragon, hugging him as Seto told him the lil' story.

"You and Malik use fruits, but me and Otogi-koi are different. We perfer candy."

Bakura blushed a little bit, some of the story coming clear. Otogi continued.

"I love black chocolate while Seto loves the small round lolly-pops covered with white chocolate. Mokuba wanted me to bring some black chocolate one day so all three of us could dunk some cookies in the chocolate and make some black chocolate molds. Well, Seto couldn't just let me have all the fun dunking... and we 'drank' chocolate all night while his brother was sleeping unaware..." Otogi sighed in blissful rememberance.

Seto chuckled, pushing Otogi out of his arms playfully. "Yeah, and you had to replace two or your teeth from how much chocolate you ate."

'Heya' played as the three laughed softly, Bakura kinda not really laughing at the story, but laughing at the lost teeth. Then, they heard foot steps upstairs and yawning.

"Bakura? Are you up?" Ryou asked, coming downstairs in nothing but a long T-shirt.

/- He's so cute -/ Bakura smiled warmly, finding the light's still-sleepy expression and his rumbing of the eyes to be priceless.

Otogi and Seto saw the demon's expression, starting to snicker. Ryou gasped, looking at them.

"You guys're still here? I though you had left."

"Yeah, well..." The dicer trailed out, not able to find another explanation beside 'we stayed to dance and frisk in your living room'.

Ryou giggled, yawning again. "It's okay. I don't care... but I'll be gone for the day."

"Why is this?" Bakura asked, a little upset.

"I'm going out with Mai to find a halloween costume for her. She's going to America for a Halloween party over there and she trusts my judgement."

"Halloween? What's that?" Otogi asked, his eyes wide.

"It used to be a day of harvest of crops in the U.S., but since they don't need to do that anymore, they've turned the hoilday into a day of ghosts, gouls, and other things of nightmares. Now that I think about it, maybe Malik should go with her." Ryou stated in an afterthought, knowing the Egyptian loved things of the scary sort.

"I just might."

Everyone looked the stairs, seeing Malik coming down as he strached his head.

"I've heard of this hoilday, and I'm going with Mai oversees. I should go in your place, Ryou. You stay here and keep the company entertained."

"Oh! Thanks Malik! Hey, why don't we have a Halloween party at your place, Kaiba, insteasd of Mai and Malik going oversees to have one?" Ryou asked, his eyes shinning with childish hope... and a growing mischief.

The CEO's eyes widened with the suggestion. However, faced with his lover's pleading eyes, he couldn't say no.

"I guess, but you do the invitation. Me and Otogi will set the place up. What's the theme going to be?"

"DUEL MONSTERS!" Ryou and Malik squealed.

Bakura rolled his eyes. /-dorks...-/ "Why don't we dress as ancient Egyptians? You can still be creatures of 'horror', as you put it Ryou, but still have a decent theme."

"Cool! I always wanted to dress like Anubis!" Malik chuckled.

"Yeah. I'll be an egyptian black cat. I'll be great."

The tanned teen looked at his crush with a sudden conclusion. He liked Ryou alot, that was a fact... but more of a friend than a lover now. He didn't know where the change of affection came from -most likely from Ryou's payback last night- but he from no one, he'd keep Ryou close as a companion and nothing more.

/- Besides, I've got other demons to hunt... namely one that's part of me. Marik's coming to the party too. -/

As Kaiba and Otogi started to leave, Bakura stopped them with a 'wait!'

"What?" the raven-haired dice master stated, looking back from his place against Seto's shoulder.

The albino grinned evilly. "Make sure you have plenty of fruits at the party."

The two scoffed, knowing his intentions and made sure to put it on their 'to-do' list as they left. Looking at his dark to find out why he asked for the request, Bakura's eyes answered for him, Ryou seeing a lustful darkness. It made him shudder into their link.

/- I'm glad you thought of this party, dear hikari. It will be the perfect way to confese my love to you for the final time... and not without torturing you in the process. -/ Bakura thought, keeping it to himself.

All the while, Ryou was leary of his yami's sadistic gaze, but still held an equally torturing revenge plan of his own.

/- This cat's going to make you howl, Bakura. Just you wait. -/
