Bakura's POV:

Yugi screamed and jumped into my lap, I could actually hear him hyperventilating! I wrapped my arms around him as I rolled with my laughter so as not to send him flying.

"What happened?!" Took a few minutes but I wiped away my tears of mirth and controlled my chuckles.

"Rain must have knocked out the power."

"Oh no."

"What?"

"Do you think they will have it back up soon?"

"Don't know. Pretty sure not tonight."

"Oh." I could feel his trembling only get worse as lightening raced across the sky followed quickly by the roar of thunder.

"Its alright Yugi. Nothing is going to get you." He slowly lowered his head to rest on my shoulder.

"So what do we do now?"

"May as well get some sleep I guess."

"Alright. There should be a candle on the shelf we can use to see." I shrugged and walked over, seeing the white pillar candle easily. "This one?"

"I guess, is it a white pillar candle?"

"Yeah."

"Great, now we just need a way to light it." I reached in my pocket and pulled out a lighter. Handy little things, instant fire small enough to carry easily and efficient enough to cause lots of mayhem, yeah we had several "fire drills" thanks to this little baby. I lit the candle and handed it over to Yugi.

"Here."

"Oh. Thanks but don't you need to see?"

"I saw better before that was lit." He looked down at his feet.

"Sorry." I chuckled.

"Don't worry about it." Another bolt flashed through the sky lighting everything up, Yugi jumped. I waited patiently and sure enough the roll of thunder came crashing through. I loved how when they were close you could just stand there and feel the sound move through your body. Yugi looked about ready to hide under the couch. "Rooms?"

"Yeah, this way." He led up the stairs and stopped at the first door. "This is Yami's slash the guest room so you can sleep here. My room is there, if you need anything."

"Thanks." I opened the door and walked in. Yeah, this was the baka pharaoh's room. Gold walls with posters of him from all the tournaments he has won. Otherwise the room was very tidy, as if no one slept here. Gee, wonder why. I fell back on the bed and crinkled my nose, it smelled like him. Bloody hell. I lay there for a few minutes wondering how comfy the couch was when another bolt of lightening hit and Yugi screamed. I got up and walked down to his room, peeking inside I found nothing. Closer inspection showed a shaking lump in the middle of Yugi's bed under the covers. I laughed a bit before walking over and tugging down the covers.

"Afraid of storms?" He nodded dumbly, those damn huge purple eyes brimming with tears. Damn, no wonder he gets picked on so much! I sighed before looking back down, having made up my mind. "Scoot over."

"What?!"

"I said scoot over, unless I should go sleep on the couch and leave you to hide all night?" He quickly scooted over and I laid down, grabbing his one pillow and stuffing it under my head. "Come here." I patted my chest and he very hesitantly scooted closer.

"Are you sure you don't mind?" I chuckled as I pulled him down and against me so that he could use my chest as his pillow.

"Ryou is afraid of storms too, I haven't minded it all these years with him so I doubt tonight is going to bother me much. Besides, that room reeks of the baka pharaoh." He actually laughed that time.

"I forgot to wash the sheets, no one has been using that room in awhile."

"I figured, after all he is very busy out meeting all his adoring fan." Yugi made an indignant sound.

"More like screw everything that doesn't move faster than him!" I couldn't help laughing.

"Even after all this time he hasn't changed! I bet he had more bastards running around than any pharaoh before him!" Yugi laughed.

"If how he is now is any indication then I have no doubt of it!" We both enjoyed a few more laughs at Yami's expense before settling down to rest. Just as my eyes started to close Yugi spoke up again.

"Bakura?"

"Hnn?"

"Thank you."

"Don't worry about it." I felt him snuggle a bit more into my chest as we both drifted off.

The next morning I woke up to find him still snuggled against my chest. The sun was coming in through the window so the storm had broken at some point and I could hear a crew working on the power lines. I wondered briefly how deep a sleeper Yugi was and decided to risk it, sliding out of bed carefully I found he slept deeply enough. I left the room and stepped over the squeaky step to make my way into the laundry room. Sure enough there were my clothes, dry and even folded, my jacket hanging nearby. I changed clothes quickly and threw the borrowed ones in the clothes hamper. I knew Ryou would be making breakfast by this point so I locked the door on my way out, after all I still had Ryou's place to look at and asses the damage.

Thankfully today was Sunday and we still had some roofing materials left from fixing the garage. It wasn't bad damage, just some shingles torn off here and there, nothing that took me too long. Malik and Ryou picked up trash and the debris in the yard so that by a little after two everything was done and cleaned. Of course that meant we had some free time and the two little lights could play twenty questions with me, willing or not.

"So, Kura… have fun last night?" I eyed Malik before answering.

"Oh yes, I found it delightful to be so far from home when the storm broke, getting soaked and almost ruining my jacket.

"That isn't what we mean and you know it!" I sighed, they were not going to be dropping this.

"Okay, I was out and the storm caught me. I realized I was near the game shop and thought it better than getting my jacket ruined. Yugi was there, his grandpa wasn't but he was nice enough to let me in. He dried my clothes, loaned me some for the night and made dinner, oh Ryou! You have to get his recipe for cheese bread, seriously. He worked on my hair and he didn't hurt me." I leveled a look at them as they suddenly adopted sheepish expressions. "Then we started watching a movie, power went out so we went to sleep. Sleep! Nothing else so stop with those damn cow eyes you are both making!" They burst into a fit of giggles, I swear I wonder sometimes who was seme in their relationship cause they're both pretty uke.

"If you are both through with your giggle fit I am hungry." So saying I started to grab out fixings for a sandwich.

"So… you going to see Yugi again?" I looked at Ryou in shock.

"Most likely since we do go to the same school. But very likely less than the two of you see him." I snorted indignantly as I coated my bread with mayo. "If you mean romantically then no, I am not dating Yugi nor will I date Yugi." Ryou actually looked sad.

"That's too bad." And now Malik had to join the conversation, don't I ever get any peace?!

"Yeah Kura, I mean Yugi is really sweet and you should start dating." I sighed.

"Look, both of you. I don't need any help with my sex life, okay. Its just fine and I like it the way it is."

"Oh yeah Kura, going to the bar, getting drunk, sleeping with someone and leaving before they get up cause you don't even know their name. Yeah, that is a great sex life. If your trying to catch all the world's STDs!" I turned so quickly a glob of mayo flew off the knife and onto Malik.

"Listen, I don't need matchmakers, okay. Yugi is NOT my type so can we please just drop this now?!" Thankfully they did and I made my sandwich in peace.

Yugi's POV:

And here I am writing in you again. Last night was odd, to say the least. Someone actually came over, okay he got caught in the storm and my place was the nearest shelter. But it was so nice having someone here. Grandpa went to that convention, he left three days ago and isn't due back for another three and with the shop closed it has been so quiet. But I was talking about last night. I had just started making my dinner thinking I would curl up and read tonight after eating when I heard someone banging on the door. I was scared, being alone and all but if someone was caught in this storm and needed help I just couldn't ignore them. Turns out someone was caught in the storm, Bakura, Ryou's yami. He was standing there soaked to the bone, it took me a second to get over my shock and invite him in. Of all the people he was the last I expected to find on the other side of the door. But he was soaked and I was afraid he had ruined his leather trench, thankfully he hadn't since I cleaned it up and told him to get a warm shower while I made dinner. Well, okay first I found some clothes for him to wear after his shower. This still makes me blush to think about. I heard the shower turn on and thought he was already in so I opened the bathroom door to drop off the clothes, but he wasn't. In fact he had just taken off his clothes so I had walked in on him… ummm well naked. I was so embarrassed! But what was worse is that I stared! I mean I couldn't take my eyes off him! I had never seen anything that looked like him! Right after Atemu got his own body he walked around the house naked a couple times, only when grandpa wasn't around though. I think he wanted to see if he could get a reaction out of me, though I'm really not sure why. But Bakura was different, I mean Atemu's body isn't bad, tall and slender but Bakura was different. Not only is he taller than Atemu but he is muscled. I don't mean bulked up, just very well defined! His chest, his abs, it was like looking at one of those fitness magazines, but he was standing there. I couldn't even blink, and worse yet I couldn't stop my eyes from looking all over him! He is probably laughing at me right now but it was worth it. The worst thing was that I had my mouth open! I'm just lucky I didn't start drooling! But he closed my mouth for me and looked so calm doing it. It was like he was used to people looking at him like that, but knowing Bakura he probably is! Anyways he came down after his shower and I noticed his hair is a mess! Just full of tangles so I worked on it a bit. I meant to do more after dinner but we became sidetracked watching a movie and then the power went out. I was really scared but he was so relaxed in the dark and seemed to actually enjoy the storm. I showed him to Atemu's room so that he could stay there and went to my own room. Right after I climbed into bed though another loud crash of thunder hit, so I did my usual, crawled under the covers and hid. I was shocked when Bakura came to check on me, though not nearly as shocked as when he climbed in bed with me! Nothing happened, I'm not sure if I should be thankful for that or sad. But it was really nice, I mean I have never felt so safe as he held me all night. And his smell! Oh he smells as good as he looks! Its this rich, musky, spicy smell. I don't even know how to describe except that it made my stomach do flips. I did fall asleep quickly but this morning when I woke up he was gone. I thought at first it had been a dream but I found the clothes he had borrowed in the laundry basket. I have school tomorrow, I hope he is there but I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't notice me. I mean he looks out for Ryou and Malik but I'm not his hikari and he does tend to run with a rougher crowd. Okay, he runs the rougher crowd and all the bullies fear him but you can't really blame them. I wouldn't want to be on his bad side either.

I closed the book and sat back. I really didn't have much to do, I debated on stripping Atemu's bed and washing the sheets but really didn't feel like it so instead I stretched out on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I could still faintly smell Bakura on my pillow and it sent shivers through me. I know I shouldn't be thinking this way, I know he is trouble, hell everyone knows he is trouble. I can just chalk this up to being lonely, I guess after having a yami in my head so long I got used to not being alone anymore, but now its changed, its all gone back to the way it was before I solved the puzzle. I think back to a few times when things had gotten bad, when my friends had gotten hurt, that I had wished things were the way they were before the puzzle. Now I get my wish and you know something, it sucks!

I went to the kitchen and pulled out some leftovers, reheating them in the microwave. That was when I noticed my comb and the spray still on the table. Picking up my comb I was actually surprised to find a couple of Bakura's hairs. I wondered briefly if I would ever get the chance to finish his hair. It was so soft when all those tangles were out. The microwave dinged, pulling me back to my reality. I ate in silence and then went into the living room to spend my night reading. I didn't expect any visitors and unsurprisingly I didn't have any.

Okay, that is it for Ch 2!! Let me know what you think please!!! R&R!!
