After All This: Chapter nine
Bakura moaned as he rolled over onto his side, trying to keep the sun from hitting his eyes. "Yami."
"Yes love?" Yami asked, in his sleepy voice.
"What time is it?" Bakura muttered.
"I'm sorry to say, but it's time to get up." Yami said, as he leaned over Bakura's shoulder and placed a kiss on his cheek. "Danu wanted to get an early start."
"Uhh." Bakura moaned rolling over he faced Yami. "Well then, I guess we should get ready then. Hey maybe you can take me on a tour of your old home."
"I guess that would be nice. Seeing Ryou's father wishes to spend most of his time studying the game room." Yami said, as he climbed out of bed. Turning around, he took hold of Bakura and pulled him up to his side.
"Game room?" Bakura asked, confused. "What on earth is that?"
"The room where the shadow games were played." Yami answered, as he walked over to where he kept his things. "It's what my father told me it was called. This was of course before I knew of the shadow games and magic. It wasn't until I became of age did I learn the truth."
"Ah, I see." Bakura said. He then walked over next to Yami and quickly threw some clothes on. "Well, I have a feeling today is going to be a great day."
"Bakura." Yami said, before Bakura could walk away. "You haven't forgotten about Marik have you? He's still out there and he told us he'll do anything to get you back."
Bakura tensed slightly, and he turned so his back was facing Yami. "No, I haven't forgotten. How could I? Seeing him again brought everything that happened in the past right back at me. Even thought I know that he is out there I'm not worried, because things have changed. I'm with you now and even if he try's to take me away, you'll just stop him. He can't beat you. You're more powerful then he'll ever be."
Yami smiled at the words. "Your right, as long as you are at my side I can protect you. He won't get you, not as long as I am here."
Coming back to Yami's side, Bakura kissed him. "You know that, so let's go and eat because I'm hungry."
Yami put his jacket on and followed Bakura out of the room. "We should order some of those jumbo pancakes today."
Bakura nodded in agreement and ran over to where Ryou and Yugi were standing. "Hello you two!"
Ryou and Yugi quickly broke apart and smiled at their Yami's.
"Hello you two." Ryou said, sweetly. "How was your sleep?"
"It was good." Bakura answered.
"Not as good as ours." Yugi muttered.
"What!" Yami screeched. "What do you mean by that Abiou?"
"Umm, I meant nothing by it." Yugi stuttered, as he tried to hide his smile.
Ryou coughed slightly as he tried to hide his smile as well.
"Unbelievable! I can't believe you two!" Yami shouted. "Aren't you both a little young?"
Bakura stood there confused for a moment or two then his face light. "Oh you two fucked! How was it?"
"Bakura!" Yami said, as he whipped his head around to glance at Bakura.
"What?" Bakura asked a look of innocents on his face. "It's not like we haven't done it yet. So how was it?"
Yami slapped his face and let out a sigh. "Come on Bakura, let's just go down and eat breakfast."
Nodding, Bakura turned and lead the group downstairs. He looked around and went to the table than Ryou's dad was sitting at. "Why hello sir. What are you doing with all this paper work?"
"Oh I had trouble sleeping last night, so I decided to just get up and work on what we've learned so far." Danu answered, as he put his things away in a bag. "Now sit down you guys."
The four boys quickly sat down and ordered something to eat. Soon the table was full of talk of the daily plans. An hour later the piled in the jeep and headed to the palace. Once they got there Yami quickly lead the group to the game room. It was located beneath most of the palace, and area where not many knew about it. The second they had entered Danu was going from wall to wall reading the words written by those played the games.
Grinning, Bakura grabbed hold of Yami's arm and pulled him out of the room. "So how about that tour? I wonder what state your bedroom is in."
Yami chuckled slightly. "Most likely nothing like it, but it wouldn't hurt to check it out."
"Hell no." Bakura smiled.
Meanwhile...
Marik smirked as he glanced around the outside of the palace. Seeing the jeep parked outside of the palace made his smirk widen at this, patting his horse's neck he quickly got off. "Stay here, old friend." Then he started off towards the entrance. Soon he was walking down one of the main corridor looking for something he had left the other day. 'Where is it?' He growled. He turned the corner quickly, only to be frozen in mid-step. There before him and slowly walking in his direction, was his Bakura and the Pharaoh. "Oh shit." He muttered, he quickly realise that the chances that these two were heading up-stairs would be pretty good. Wait... stairs... 'Oh man, that's where I left my bag yesterday.' Marik quickly shot a quick glance over at the couple coming closer. Then with one less nervous glance he quickly bolted across the hallway and quickly rain up the stairs. Thing's got worse when he turned to go back down except the problem was two people were already coming up. Without another thought, Marik slipped up the stairs and entered into the closest room.
"So what's the first part of the tour love?" Bakura ask, as the finally reached the top of the stairs.
"Well..." Yami said. Leading Bakura to a door, pushing it open they walked into the dark room. "Welcome to the now empty but once full library of the palace." as he said this he swept his hand over the room.
Bakura wrinkled his nose slightly, and let out a small sneeze. "It's quite dusty in here."
"Yes, well it's most likely not as bad as some of the rooms." Yami laughed. "You know, this place is dull."
"Quite! So, where is your bedroom anyway? I'm sure that couldn't have changed much." Bakura said, as he pulled on Yami's arm.
With laughter the pair left the room, not even noticing the dull glow coming from the side of the room.
