The rhythmic breathing from his cat was the only sound in the room. His head was slightly pounding from all the tension he gathered in the past few days. No raid was gonna help him now.
'This is insane. I've stumbled into madness.' He thought.
His situation almost made him laugh. He wanted to see her but he knew that would only make his problem worse.
'But I'll go insane if I don't.' He thought. Either way he was damned. Finally making a decision, he stood from his bed and left the room.

Teanna awoke to a light knocking. Groaning she sat up trying to figure out where it came from. As soon as she was awake enough she realized it was coming from her balcony and frowned in confusion. Slightly stumbling, she made her way to the door. She unlocked it and opened both doors at the same time. She didn't get a chance to say anything because she was grabbed and kissed. She began to fight but they suddenly stopped.
"Huh?" She mumbled, still half-asleep.
He chuckled as he kissed her again, running his hands up over her back to put more feeling into her body to wake her up. He pulled back, letting her breathe as he held her up against his chest.
"Oh." She breathed.
She squirmed out of his embrace and made her way across the room to a large table where candles were standing so she could light the room. Then she realized he didn't have his robe on and averted gaze while blushing. He smirked when she refused to look at him. She turned to walk the other way but he grabbed her arms and pulled her back, slipping his arms around her waist, holding her tight against him. He hooked his thumbs on the belt of her skirt while slipping his fingers beneath the slits of her skirt to graze her hips.
"Where are you going?" He whispered in her ear while nibbling on it.
"I was going to check the door." She replied, shivering from his action.
"It's locked I already tried." He said as he worked his way to her shoulder.
This reminded him of something.
"Is that mark I left on you still there?" He asked.
"Probably but I think it's already fading." She answered.
He moved her hair aside and pulled away the strap of her top.
"It's still there." He said smugly.
"You sound too happy about that." She said suspiciously.
"Yes I know." He replied as he nipped at it.
"Ow." She cried as she spun around and smacked him on his shoulder.
He grabbed her upper arms and pulled her tight against him, giving her a bruising kiss that left her panting and wanting more. She pushed him back for a moment as she panted and blinked, trying to clear her vision.
"That wasn't fair." She stated.
"That's life, get used to it." He smirked as he kissed her again.
It occurred to him that he was much more comfortable and relaxed around her. There was just something about her that cooled his blood. He pushed her back towards her bed and lowered her on it. He began to pull at her top, a little hesitant to take it off because he didn't know if she would let him. She sat up against him and tugged at the string at the back of her neck and the top of her halter fell down. He halted at first then pulled it off completely. She pulled him back down to her and kissed him. He laid kisses down her throat, pausing briefly at her shoulders and collarbone. He teased her by trailing his tongue along the gold chain that lay between her breasts, nibbling on the soft flesh rather than going straight for the nipple like she wanted him to. She squirmed against him as she whimpered. He slowly closed his mouth over the small nub of her left breast, sucking on it as he lightly tugged it. She gasped and moaned quietly, arching her back a bit off the bed. He repeated it and then moved on to its twin. As he kissed his way down her stomach, he began to tug at her belt and skirt. She suddenly sat up and stopped him.
"I can't do that." She said.
"Oh no…that's not what I was planning on doing." He said.
She frowned momentarily in confusion. "Then what were you going to do?" She asked.
"Just lay back and trust me." He said as he pushed her back.
He slowly ran his hand up her leg as he began to push her skirt up to her waist. He bit lightly at her hip, receiving a gasp of surprise from her. Now her skirt lay folded on her stomach and her world lay exposed to him. He pushed her legs apart slightly and bent his head down. She gasped and arched her back when he touched her. He slid his tongue to her slit and teased the opening with the tip. She moaned lightly, giving him the encouragement to continue. He nipped the tight bud with his teeth, sucking steadily. She groaned, whimpering her pleasure as her back arched again. He continued this for a few more moments until she came and he licked up the juices as they flowed from her body. She sighed in contented bliss as he moved up her body and kissed her deeply, allowing her to taste herself.
"That was nice." She whispered her mind still in a swirl.
"That was just a taste of more to come." He whispered back and placed a light kiss on her lips.
He lay out on her bed and pulled her up beside him, straightening her skirt out to cover her as he did. After awhile she fell asleep in his arms. He tightened his grip slightly, knowing he had to leave soon. He looked down at her, brushing back her hair from her face as he watched her sleep. He wanted to stay like this forever, just the two of them where no one would try to keep them apart. Slowly and carefully so not to wake her, he lifted her off his body and laid her beside him. he got up and covered her with the sheet. He stared down at her, her face highlighted by the bit of moonlight streaming through her window and the few remaining lit candles. He felt he didn't deserve such an angel. Before he could change his mind and risk staying, he ran out the door, shutting it behind him.
-Next Morning-
A knock at the door awoke Teanna once again.
"What is it now?" She groaned as she got up and went to the door. It was Jou. "What?" She asked.
"Um…he-hey Teanna…" He stuttered as he turned bright red.
She noticed his gaze was down so she looked to see what it was. Her eyes grew wide as her arms flew to cover her chest.
"Oh my Ra!" She cried as she ran back into her room to put her top back on.
"I'm really sorry Teanna." Jou begged as he shut the door.
"It's all right. I'm just glad it wasn't Seth." She replied.
"So am I." He agreed.
Teanna giggled. "So what is it you want?" She asked.
"Just wondering if you still harbor the same feelings for him as before?" He asked.
"If you're talking about Seth then yes I do still hate him." She said.
Jou laughed. "And Bakura?" He pressed.
She refused to answer.
"Teanna don't ignore me." He said.
"Yes I do. Is that such a problem for you?" She snapped angrily.
"Yes Teanna it is. Why would you? He is completely beneath you." He said.
"And you're beneath Mai." She countered.
"We already went over that." He said.
"As we did this." She retorted.
"You're not going to back down from this are you?" He asked.
She shook her head and Jou sighed defeatedly.
"I guess I shouldn't be trying to change your mind. I just don't want you to get hurt." He said.
"I know but…I don't want to end up with Seth. I don't trust him…hell I don't even like him, I can barely stand to be in the same room as him." She said and Jou chuckled.
"Yeah I know." He said.
"And Bakura hasn't done anything to hurt me. He could've but he didn't." She said.
She was practically pleading with him to understand.
"Well you did come back unharmed." He admitted.
"Seth is the only one who has hurt me." She said.
Jou frowned. "What did he do?" He asked.
"After I talked to Yami yesterday, he was waiting outside the throne room. He tried to grab my arm but I pushed away telling him not to touch me. Then he said 'I see the bitch still has some bite' and I slapped him. he roughly grabbed and slammed me into the wall. I kneed him and ran away." She explained.
"That's not good." He said.
"I know, I'm serious shit now." She groaned.
"Did you tell Yami yet?" Jou asked.
"No, somehow I don't think he would believe me." She said.
"Why not?" He asked.
"He WANTS me to marry Seth, he just hasn't said it yet." She exclaimed.
"How do you know?"
"Because I know Yami. He thinks it's best. I could see it on his face." She replied.
"All right I'll talk to him. breakfast is being served and your presence has been requested." He told her.
"Ok, just let me change and I'll be ready to go." She said as she moved to the back room.
