Chapter 8
In your Arms

Tea fed them, and they were all warm by the fire in the main room of the house. Bakura, Malik, and Marik were now all asleep, yet Ryou couldn't sleep. He still felt strange about this all. He needed to talk...

He got up, off of the floor, and went to her door. The door was locked.

"She really doesn't trust us does she?" He whispered to himself. Although, he was not worried by this, because it gave him a chance to do what he did best: pick locks.

He had done that easily with a small stick, and was in. He closed the door behind him softly, as the storm continued to rage outside.

It only took a few seconds for his eyes to adjust to the darkness. A single candle was the only light in the room. Tea was asleep, so peaceful, so...beautiful.

Ryou slowly started to make his way to her, casting a shadow over her. He wasn't silent either, stepping on creaking boards as he went, which woke her up.

Seeing a shadowy figure hovering over her bed, she panicked, thinking it was Yami, to kill her, and she screamed.

Luckily, it was cut off by Ryou, who covered her mouth with his hand. "Shhhhh...." He leaned in closer, into the light so she could see who it was, and she relaxed, but she was still breathing heavily. He released his hand and sat down on the bed.

"Are you...ok?"

She nodded. "A shadowy figure....what a night..."

"I'm sorry..." Silence. Then: "I'm sorry about everything tonight..." He gently put his hand on the side of Tea's face, lightly rubbing her cheek where Yami had hit her, which was all swollen and bruised.

She winced from the pain, and he stopped immediately.

"Don't say you're sorry." She told him. "It wasn't your fault. None of it was, that I got shot, or that I fell in love with another man..."

"My fault I left." Ryou said this simply.

"Yeah, but..."

Lightening strikes outside.

"Tea..."

"I just don't want to be alone..."

"I ain't goin anywhere..."

He was now holding the other side of her face, looking her in the eyes.

Suddenly, Tea threw her arms around his neck and was kissing him on the lips with a great force, as if she had been waiting years to do this.

She finally pulled away, but was still nose to nose with him (awww)

"It's been so long, and I still thought of you everyday..."

"Same here..." he whispered back.

They both looked at each other again, knowing that they could not fight their temptations, and soon, they were kissing again, roughly...

((((((((((((

The candle was out.

They never went that far, they just kissed, that was all, but that was more than enough.

He lay beside her on the bed, for protection mostly, for he too had a feeling of Yami coming back to finish the job. They lay, in the dark, talking to each other, Tea on her side, and Ryou with his arms wrapped around her from behind.

It was nearly daybreak when they fell asleep, the storm had now ended, and her in his arms...once again...
