After All This: Chapter six
By the time Bakura and Yami had reached they other's they were all pretty hungry and tired after a long day, so they decided to go into town and get a place to stay for the few day's that they where in the area.
"So, how long do you guy's wish to stick around the Palace for?" Danu asked, as they all sat down for there evening meal.
"Hmm, well it's Monday today." Ryou said. "How about till Wednesday?"
"Yeah, that sound's good to me." Yugi nodded, taking a sip of his drink.
"That should give us enough time to go over everything." Yami said, smiling.
"Alright." Danu nodded. "How about you Bakura. Is there any place you'd like to check out?"
"Well." Bakura said slowly, placing his glass down. "If you don't mind, I'd like to go poke around the caves for a few days. I spent most of my life there."
"Well, I don't see any problem with that. I myself went down to the caves once but I was too afraid I'd get lost so I never looked around too far." Danu said.
"The tunnels in that cave stretch quite a few miles." Bakura chuckled. "Impressive really."
"If I remember right, I lost a lot of men in those caves." Yami said, as he leaned back in his chair.
"Did they just get lost or uh killed?" Yugi asked.
"Most likely killed." Bakura said, smirking. Almost looking like his old self before coming back.
Yami frowned slightly, and looked down at his watch. "Wow, it's getting late. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm tired and I'm heading to bed."
"I have to agree with you on that one Yami." Yugi smiled, as he looked over at Ryou who was trying to hold back his yawn. "Ryou here look's like he's ready to fall asleep."
"Son, your boyfriend is right!" Danu declared.
Ryou blushed slightly at the sound of his father saying that. "I know dad, I'll be heading up now." Standing up he walked over and kissed his father on the cheek. "Good night everyone, you coming Yugi?"
"Yes." Yugi said, getting up. "Goodnight everyone."
Minutes later, Bakura and Yami got up wishing Danu a goodnight. They headed upstairs', talking in a low whisper. They soon were lying in bed talking.
"You know, this had got to be the best summer I've ever had." Bakura sighed happily.
"I know what you mean." Yami said. "But it's only been the... third summer since we were re-awoken."
"Bout that." Bakura agreed. "Yami have you ever wondered... wondered how long we will live for? I mean, will we live as long as our Hikari's live or we'll we live until we die?"
"Well. I'm not really sure. I mean when you were shot I almost lost you then, you easily could have died." Yami pointed out.
"Yami." Bakura said slowly, kissing him. "I'm still here. Stop worrying about it."
"I know I'll try." Yami sighed.
"Well, I don't know about you but I need to get some sleep." Bakura yawned. "Night."
"Goodnight." Yami smiled, closing his eyes.
Earlier
Marik sat in the back of the dinner at the hotel. He sat only a few spots's away from Bakura, Yami and there group. They spoke of there weekly plan's at Marik could feel the slow smile work up on his face at the mention of the cave. It had been awhile since he had been there but could easily remember his way threw like no doubt Bakura could. Once they had all left he paid is bill and left. Grabbing the rein's off the bar he quickly mounted and rode off towards the caves to start his planning.
