By Larien
Summary: A teenager with a dark side, a cheerleader surrounded by popularity, secretly in love with each other, will their true feelings show?
Genre: Romance/Humor
Pairings: RyouxAnzu
Bakura growled, Anzu was supposed to be his, Bakura wanted Ryou gone, suddenly Bakura went back to his demonic self, his old abusive self.
"RYOU!" Bakura yelled.
Yami, Jou, and Honda tried to protect Ryou, suddenly Bakura stopped, he sensed something, another person was there, and it wasn't just Yami. Another person, kind of pure but a tinge of darkness, it had some dark forces. Bakura wandered over to the tree, he was sure it was behind the tree, Yami looked on, while Anzu backed as far as possible from Bakura and clung to Ryou. Seeing this opportunity, Yami tried to shove Ryou into Sugoroku's truck which Yami had borrowed. Honda and Jou jumped in the wide open trunk while Anzu squeezed in beside Ryou. Yami shoved the keys in, which gave the car a lurch, Yami was about to step on the gas peddle when,
"WAIT! Our book bags!!" Anzu yelled.
Honda and Jou raced down to grab them and snatched Ryou's bike in the process, with one last heave everything was on the truck and Yami sped off.
Meanwhile Bakura was cautiously walking towards the tree. His millennium shadow powers were ready for use. He saw a shadow, it was twitching violently, it had pointy hair, it looked like Yugi? Bakura stopped dead in his tracks. He started to climb the tree, carefully not wanting to break any branches or let the "person" hear any cackles of anything. Bakura got to the top and peered down. It was Yugi! (a/n: kudos to anyone who realized it was Yugi!) Yugi was there, dressed in skin tight black faded shorts, a cut off muscle shirt that revealed his belly, and leather boots. Yugi was also wearing numerous leather straps here and there. RA?! Was this really Yugi?! Just then Yugi went to knock on the door, Kelly opened it. Yugi said something and Kelly squealed with delight. She pulled Yugi inside the building and proceeded to pull him inside, what happened next you don't want to know but I can say that, Bakura saw what Yugi was doing and doubled over in laughter, then suddenly he realized, my clothes are in there too!! I don't want them to get Yugi-germs!! Bakura tried to get down the tree only to face to the same fate as his hikari had, falling smack dab on his back, painfully might I add.
"Oww…shite, stupid fricken mortal tree." Bakura hissed.
Bakura slowly got up, and used his little wonderful shadow magic to heal his bruised, purple and blue back. Bakura stood up and went inside "Sci-Fi City" inside he heard Tony whistling and howling, he also heard Kelly moaning and saying dirty curse words. Bakura walked towards the back and peered thru the door that the sounds were coming from. When Bakura came back out this was his expression: 0.0 O.o O.o
Bakura walked towards the laundry room and took his clothes which were still slightly soggy after all there weren't any washing machines or stuff, Tony had "washed" them by rinsing them in a sink and blowing it dry with a hairdryer and a fan. Bakura put on his half dry half soggy pants and slipped on his see through wet t-shirt and stomped outside, but not before grabbing every adult magazine there was on the shelf and stuffing it into a giant garbage bag he snatched also. It was freezing cold when Bakura got outside because one, there was wind, two, it was the beginning of February, and three, his clothes were wet and it was beginning to rain, not good.
Bakura hurried as fast as he could to get his beloved magazines and his sexy self home, which wasn't all that fast seeing that he had over 200 magazines in his garbage bag, that's when an idea came to him. I'll give Domino High a quick visit, he thought. Bakura trudged to the student lot and swiped a skateboard or four actually. He then used bicycle rope chains to tie his magazines down. Lastly he pushed the heavy magazines 4 blocks home, which took him about 30 minutes considering that he was very curious and wanted a sneak preview of all of them. Finally Bakura got home, by now Bakura would've won the wet t-shirt contest. He was so soaking wet. Plus he was starting to sneeze, achoo! Wait a minute, spirits don't get sick? Do they? Bakura thought to himself. Maybe I've been hanging with Ryou too long. Bakura untied his magazines and lugged them up the stairs, Bakura then shoved them in the guest room, and shut the door with a bang, finally he stole to Ryou's room and proceeded to pull out his cute little pajamas with little millennium items on them, phrases that said, RULE THE WORLD and KILL THE PHAROAH and STEAL ALL SEVEN ITEMS! On it, also they had little pictures of the dead pharaoh and Bakura as the pharaoh. They were so cute; Bakura then grabbed clean boxers, and dug out his bunny slippers, Mr. and Mrs. Fluffyitems. He had glued wooden replicas of the items to one bunny and various weapons to the other one. Bakura then went to the master bedroom shower, he turned on the tub to hot water and was about to strip and go in when he decided, I'll kill two birds with one stone! Bakura lugged the trash bag to the bathroom and set it beside the tub. Then Bakura finally took of his clothes and settled in. My beautiful fluffy hair! Bakura needed to wash it, oh well, maybe tomorrow; after all it's still kind of fluffy, right? Bakura settled down in the hot water and took out the first magazine, Jenna 'n' Brianna's Playhouse, (a/n: I don't think there's such a thing) He looked and looked until the water became cold, then he finally stepped out and dried himself off, he then proceeded to dress. Bakura heard his stomach rumble. Fine time, he thought, just when I was planning on how to kill Ryou for stealing Anzu. Grrr…hmm…list of ways to kill Ryou.
1. Drugs…as in poison!!
2. Knives
3. Guns
4. Slow torture
5. Raping Anzu…Heehee, then killing him
6. Choking Ryou
Now which one should I go with? Bakura began crossing them off one by one while he heated up Easy Mac 'n' Cheese, and got a Diet Coke from the fridge, screw that, he got a Jack Daniel's from the fridge. Bakura waited for the mac and cheese to heat up while he thought over each one. Drugs, no! Where would he get narcotics and stuff? Oh his gang, but that would be kinda stupid and obvious. Knives! My favorite!! But then too much evidence!! But then again I have an excuse to go on the Home Shopping Network. Nah. Guns, stupid pointless, period. Slow torture, more Marik, less me. Raping Anzu, that's just pointless because I want her and if I rape her then it would mess up, or I could hire an assassin to rape her then kill Ryou, either way it would be dumb. Choking, even stupider, how hard would it be to go get a rope around Ryou's neck without him noticing? Okay fine! I give up, thought Bakura as he took the Macaroni out of the microwave and crushed the paper and tossed it in the trash. Bakura proceeded to sloppily eat the Mac and Cheese. It was all over his face. Bakura ate and drank; they called Jack Daniel's strong alcohol? Man this was nothing compared to Egyptian lotus wine. Now that was darn strong. It was so strong that I think I'm still a little bit of drunk from it the last time I drank it 5000 years ago, thought Bakura.
-Flashback-
"Darn good." Said one thief as he took another swig of the pharaoh's wine.
Bakura had just returned that night, his load was expensive, it contained stolen wine made especially for the pharaoh, in his load was also gems and gold, stolen from the palace. The thieves praised Bakura and his master thievery. Bakura then stepped aside to reveal one final gem. It was a girl. A girl slave from the palace. One of the pharaoh's pleasure slaves. She was beautiful, she had deep dark brown hair, and beautiful blue eyes. Her hair was down and it flowed to her mid back. It whipped in the night wind of Egypt. She was wearing numerous pieces of hold jewelry and on her neck was a necklace like the Millennium Tauk only instead of the Eye of Horus, it was a scarab. She was wearing a beautiful white dress like those the priestess wears. It was pure white, with gold edging, only it was a two piece, the top was sleeveless and strapless, the part around her breast line was trimmed in gold thread. In the middle there was a small ruby gem. Her skirt was two layers. The bottom layer was white and had numerous sapphire, amethyst, and ruby designs on it, the top was a see thru layer of white mesh. Her head was covered with a piece of cloth, exposing some of her hair. It was there like a bridal top. It was white, underneath two pieces of her hair, one on each side, were braided together with gold bands. Her face had the tiniest bit of make up. She in all was the meaning for perfection, she was Seijuu. Every single thief in that room looked at Bakura with jealousy. She was beautiful. Then Bakura pulled a rope, the curtain to their hideout rose, it revealed more pleasure slaves like Seijuu.
"THEY ARE YOURS FOR THE NIGHT!" Bakura yelled.
Cheers were heard.
"Marik, as my trusted friend, I present to you, Shiori." Bakura pointed to a girl who looked almost like Seijuu. "Their twins."
Marik nodded.
That night was a night full of merry making. But what really happened was that half the group got laid and Bakura and Marik got so drunk that they were only seeing pitch black.
-End Flashback-
Good times! Good times, thought Bakura. That was when we had no worries, just getting our asses drunk off and all that good crap. Bakura sighed as he thought about his old days. He thought and he thought if those were the old days then why do I feel like I'm reliving them? Anzu, Marik, everyone, why? Why do I feel like I'm reliving everything? Isis reminds of Seijuu kind of. But then Anzu reminds me of Soika. But Soika wasn't mine, she was Marik's, but Marik doesn't give a damn about Anzu. So why is this so mixed up? I just can't place it all it's so confusing yet so vaguely familiar. Dammit! Why me, thought Bakura. Bakura slammed his fist on the old wooden table, he looked up at the clock, schools out, time to go visit Marik.
Ryou was walking home with Anzu at his side, his arm, his right arm was definitely broken, Anzu kept apologizing to him, and Ryou shrugged all these off saying that it wasn't her fault. Anzu helped Ryou carry his books even go as far as to change all her classes for Ryou. It worked; they were now snuggling together on Ryou's sofa. Seeing that Bakura wasn't home, it was perfect, uninterrupted, Anzu got up to make some hot chocolate or something, she returned with diet coke. Oh well, better then nothing.
"Ryou? Do you think that Bakura is really going to kill you?" Anzu asked.
"Nah, I dun think so Tia." Ryou smiled.
Anzu smiled at her new nickname.
"Still, you should spend the night at my house, just in case, after all it's what? Thursday? Plus tomorrow is the Teacher Conference so we don't have school." Anzu said.
"Okay then, but only until Bakura stops being homicidal." Ryou said.
Anzu snuggled closer to Ryou but soon realized, I have to help him pack!
Anzu and Ryou were now upstairs in Ryou's room packing his overnight bag. Ryou had put in clothes, his valuable computer work, and some other entertainment things. Pretty soon they were off to see the wizard! Nope, just kidding they were off to Anzu's house. It was raining again so Ryou was holding up the umbrella while Anzu struggled with the bag. It was pretty heavy.
"Augh, Ryou! What do you have in there?" Anzu asked.
"Some porn magazines, some porno films, and some porn pictures, and a porn model!" Ryou said.
Anzu stared wide eyed.
"Just kidding Tea, just clothes, CDs, and my psychology text book in there!" Ryou smiled.
Anzu sighed with relief. They continued walking towards the Mazaki residence, on the way many stops were made, for let's say, kissing, and let's keep it that way.
Meanwhile, Bakura was in front of the Ishtar residence.
Knock.
Isis came and opened the door.
"lo Ishizu." Said Bakura still referring to her Egyptian name.
"Hello Bakura, looking for Marik or Malik?" Isis asked.
"Both." Bakura said.
"Well they just got home! Come on in," Isis said then she yelled, "PHYSCOS!! BAKURA IS HERE TO SEE YOU!!"
Marik and Malik tumbled down the stairs, bare chested. (a/n: drooool…/has hearts in eyes)
Bakura looked at them and raised his eyebrows.
Marik and Malik then stared at themselves.
"Oops, be right back." They both said.
Bakura heard sounds of, I WANT THAT ONE!! And YOU TAKE THAT! Soon after about 15 minutes they came back down.
"Hey, I mainly wanted to talk to Marik. But here's the flame destructor you asked for Malik, and the magazines you wanted." Bakura handed Malik a garbage bag.
Malik smirked and dashed upstairs.
"Marik?" Bakura sighed.
"Yea?" Marik replied
"You remember Shiori and Seijuu?" asked Bakura.
"Yea, those were good times." Marik sighed dreamily.
"And do you know how I've been chasing Anzu?"
"Yep."
"So why does Shiori remind me of Anzu, and Seijuu remind me of Isis?"
Marik gaped.
"ISIS?! NO ONE!! I REPEAT NO ONE!! WOULD FALL IN LOVE WITH THAT NYMPHO!!"
"WHAT'D YOU SAY MARIK?!" Isis yelled.
"Heh heh, nothing sister, nothing at all." Marik replied.
"Now back to the point. Why? Shiori was yours, but Ryou is dating Anzu right now. And Seijuu? Could it be that I'm destined to fall in love with Isis? A tomb robber, Egypt's most wanted thief, falls in love with a priestess?"
"Could be."
"Then where does Anzu come in?"
"Hella, I dun even know."
"Maybe she's supposed to fall in love with you at the end."
"Nah, don't really like her romantically."
"Hmm…"
"This is confusing isn't it Kura?"
"Too."
Just then Isis walked into the room, she was stunning, or so Bakura thought. Otherwise she was just wearing what she normally wears. But to Bakura she looked amazing. Isis set some drinks on the table and walked back out.
"I think I'm in love…" Bakura mouthed.
Marik gaped wide eyed, how could anyone be in love with his prissy, I have PMS almost everyday sister? Bakura was just wide eyed, I'm on love, dreamy look. Ra! First Anzu now Isis? Bakura, something is wrong with you and I'm gonna get girls outta your life for once and all, thought Marik. All the girls are going down. Marik looked down to his millennium rod. Definitely.
Meanwhile Bakura was still in a dreamy hazy lazy daze. Have I gone nuts? I have haven't I, Marik? Tell me buddy, I'm in love with your pissed off, I have PMS everyday sister. Ra. This is really getting confusing…
