~*Blackmail Showdown*~
"Oh damn Ryou-kun!" Joey stepped inside. Ryou was kneeling on the floor right before the toilet, his head resting on the toilet seat.
"Ryou," Yugi's grandpa stood next to him. "Are you all right?"
"Tristan was right." Yugi tried to help Ryou up. "I think you really should go home and recover."
"It's all right Yugi. My doctors warned me that this would happen."
"Ryou, why don't you clean yourself up? I'll drop you home after okay?" Yugi's grandpa left the bathroom. Yugi and Joey soon followed after.
Ryou watched as the three were out of sight. His ring glowed as he changed himself into his dark side. Standing up, he closed the door, then the toilet seat, sitting down on it. His fingers reached out to grasp the shower curtain, sliding it open. His eyes glazed at Tea's body curled up in the tub. "It's safe. They're gone."
"Are you sure?" Tea raised her head towards Bakura.
"I wouldn't lie now would I?" he extended his hand, helping her out of the tub.
"Well," Tea scratched her head. "You are known for being a traitor. Stabbing your former friend in the back."
Smirking, Bakura pulled Tea onto his lap, causing her to blush with such embarrassment. His arms wrapped around her waist, leaning his chest onto her back, his lips pressing onto her earlobe, whispering. "I haven't betrayed everyone."
No longer could Tea move an inch without feeling embarrassed. Bakura's hold on her became tighter. "You wanted to kill Yugi and his dark side. You also wanted to kill Joey ever since Kaiba came up with the whole Battle City tournament thing."
"So I wanted to kill those pip squeaks. They mean nothing to me." He kissed her earlobe, his dark whisper never ceased to fade. "But answer this. When was the last time I wanted to kill you?"
"I…well…" Tea started to say.
"I saw the way you looked at me when we were in the blimp. You always had a tendency to stay in my room for long periods of time. There were even nights where you claim to have been sleepwalking yet you end up lying right next to me."
"Stop it!" Tea shrieked.
Bakura turned Tea around, his fingers lifting her head up so she could face him. "One thing I know about being with someone is that you never, ever lie." He then leaned forward, pressing his lips against hers.
"Bakura!" Tea tried to squirm but Bakura's hands held her down. Minutes pass by as Tea finally gave in. There was no way she could resist the dark side of seduction.
God, Tea called out in her mind, if the gang finds out, they'll think I'm a whore. She felt his fingers clawing her back while his other hand snake underneath her shirt. Closing her eyes, she lazily kissed him back, her fingers fingering the chain that wrapped around his neck. The soft passion continued to last about ten minutes. Tea was lost in the euphoria that Bakura created.
"Don't mind me Ryou-kun," Joey stepped inside the bathroom, grinning. "I'm just here to get my keys that I left…whoa, whoa, whoa! What the hell is going on?"
Startled, Tea broke the kiss, looking at Joey? "Joey wait! It's not what it looks like."
"When good girls have gone wild! I've seen it on that hentai tape before. But now this is when good girls gone bade." He then turned around, starting to run. "Yami! Yami-kun!"
Bakura stood up, running after Joey. Just before Joey could reach the stairs, Bakura grabbed Joey by the arm, pulling him towards his chest. One arm wrapped around his waist while the other clamped his mouth.
"You just keep quiet you fool!" Bakura sneered, dragging Joey in the hallway. Joey began cussing although it was silenced from Bakura's hand.
"Joey, did you call me?" Yami made his way up the stairs. He then noticed Ryou holding Joey. "Ryou? What are you doing to Joey?"
Ryou smiled. "Joey choked on something on his way up the stairs and I was going to escort him to the bathroom."
"Oh," Yami gave Ryou a quick nod. "Must be from those shrimp cocktails. By the way, Yugi's grandpa is waiting for you outside."
"Tell him I'll be a few minutes." Ryou continued to drag Joey all the way to the bathroom. As soon as Yami went back down the stairs, the millennium ring started to glow, causing Ryou to change back to Bakura.
"You just got lucky!" Joey glared at Bakura. "If Yami were to see that you're back, he'll be kicking your ass."
"Not as much as he wants to kick Marik's." Bakura smirked, tossing Joey inside the bathroom. "Tea, do me a favor and wait outside."
"You're not going to torture Joey are you?"
That smirk never left his lips. "Torture him? Yes. Killing him? No. There's a difference." He watched Tea leaving the bathroom before making his way towards the door, dragging Joey along, locking it.
He then picked up Joey, pressing him against the wall, glaring at him with the most demonic eyes he had seen. "Listen Joey, one word that comes from your mouth about what you had seen today, I shall see to it that you suffer as much as I did."
"Sending me to the Shadow Realm?" Joey replied sarcastically. "Wow Bakura, you can't come up with anything original."
Bakura laughed softly. "I'm not sending you to the Shadow Realm in that instant. How is your little sister…what's her name…Serenity. There you go!"
"Hold it Bakura! If you think twice about hurting Serenity, I swear, I will knock some sense into that head of yours."
"I'll be glad to torture your sister. Toy with her as a matter of fact. And after that, I'll hand her over to Marik so he can deal with her."
"You wouldn't dare!" Joey's eyes widened with fear.
"Oh, but I can. And I will, if lips speak of what you had seen and heard, I guarantee you, you will watch first hand on what Marik and I will do to Serenity."
"Marik's back? But how?"
"I couldn't possibly tell you that!" Bakura wrapped his fingers around Joey's neck. "So, do we have a deal?"
"No deal." Joey uttered.
"If that's the way you feel." His grip on Joey's neck became tighter.
"All right, all right!" Joey screamed. "I won't tell anyone about you making time with Tea and the fact that Marik's back!"
"Good, then we have an agreement." He shoved Joey onto the floor. Joey got up and unlocked the door. Yami, Yugi's grandpa and Tea were chatting away.
"Joey?" Yami gazed at an agitated Joey. "Are you all right?"
"You look really flushed." Tea gave Joey a worried look.
"The shrimp cocktails did a number to Joey." Ryou smiled. "But I'm sure he'll be fine.
"Okay Ryou," Yugi's grandpa held the keys. "How about we get going?"
"No problem," he then turned to Tea. "Oh Tea, I almost forgot." He took out a piece of paper all folded up before handing it to her. "Here you go."
"What's this?" Tea looked down on the paper.
"Read it later." Ryou smirked, following Yugi's grandpa to the car.
