chapter 19

"Hey Chi! you done up there! We gotta go!" yelled Bakura downstairs in a sexy looking Zorro outift mask and all ladies!drools like a fan girl sorry there, went out of my mind there for a sec . lol

"Hold your horses! I'm coming!But i have one thing to say mister!" Chi peeked her head out of the doorway and came out in a cat outfit.It consisted of a pair of purple cat ears, a black leather choker with a bell on it, a white tubetop with cross stitching on the front, a pair of purple gloves that went up her forearms, and a tight dark purple skirt with a cat tail poking out the back with a pair of black high heeled shoes."Do you think this looks ... appropriate?"

"Oh come on Chi!It looks fine, now come on!"

"Alright , but where is Ryou?"

"He's a coming . He just had to drop by somewhere now hurry up grandma!"that's what my dad calls me when i get out of the car. :(

"Hey! I'm not a grandma for your damn info!" she said rushing out the door and getting up on Bakura's motorcycle."Well, well, well,I didn't know the sweet innocent Chi could curse ? Remind me to go out and grab you a beer or two."

"Bakura! you know I don't drink."

"It was a good offer though wasn't it?"

Chi sighed before saying,"No it wasn't, lets just go please?"

At the party

"Bakura , I don't thinkI can do this ."

"Stop your bitching you idiot girl."

"Well excuse me!" Bakura parked his bike and headed to the door.

Bakura knocked none to pleasently and yelled,"Oi! Open this damn door or I'll break the door down myself!"

Chi elbowed him in the ribs and whispered,"Bakura! ... don't say that . That's mean."

"Oh and you haven't noticed?"he snapped back. Right before Chi could come up with a comeback, the door opened to reveal a tanned egyptian boy with lavendar eyes and blonde hair wearing a pink bunny outfit.

"Hi..." the boy muttered.

Bakura just about cracked up laughing at him,"Hahahaha! Malik! Is that you under that ridiculous outifit!"

"Bakura!That isn't very nice to say!"she said hitting him on the head and turning to face Malik,"I'm terribly sorry but i think you look absolutely cute in that outifit.I think it suites you." She smiled and Malik cracked a bit of a smile, if you could call it that,.

"Thanks um,...I don't really know your name?"

"Oh it's Chi ! Pleased to meet you."she said smiling. Please excuse me for her bitching alot. IswearI am making her sound like Tea! AND I DON'T LIKE HER NOT ONE BIT!... sorryI had to release my anger .Back to the story.

"Well miss Chi, welcome to the party ,I beleive someone is here that you may know of ?"Malik said turning to the side to look at a man similar to Malik only having spiky hair and wearing a gerbil outift dancing with a familiar black haired egyptian lady.

"Ishizu?"

Ishizu danced around and saw Chi,"Chihiro?"

"Ishizu!"Chi said running over to Ishizu and hugging her just as Ishizu did the same.

"Oh my poor little sister ! How are you doing?"

"I'm fine, and please don't be angry at Bakura and Ryou , they are now taking very good care of me and-"

"It's okay it's okay , Malik and Marik have told me everything. I've just missed you so much."

"I know ."

"Hey Chi , I'm going to go downstairs to drink a few beers . If you ever need me come down there with either Marik or Malik just for saftey procautions. I don't want my pretty little angel here to be hurt now do I?" he said slinging a arm around her waist and kissing her on her cheek. Chi blushed and Bakura cocked a grin."Thought so . Bye then."

"Chi, how do you ever get along with someone like him?" Ishizu joked.

"You know sis? I don't really know , butI am glad thatI am with him," she said smiling," Say I'm going to go outside to have a breathe of fresh air okay?"

"Okay lil' sis. Bye." Ishizu said going back to dancing with her boy friends.

Outside

Chi sighed and looked up at the midnight sky filled with millions of tiny stars,looking like thousands of gems swimming in a dark blue river."I wishI could stay here forever."

"If that is what you wish." said a deep sounding voice.

"Wha-?"Chi said turning around and seeing nothing."Heh, must have been the wind." She then turned back around and saw a shadowed figure.

"I assure you , I am not the wind." said the figure, who turned out to be a man, aroundChi'sage,with long dark hair,a cat mask covering half his face,a black cat ears, just like Chi's,wearing a black low v-neck cut leather shirt and a pair of tight black leather pants to match with a black and white tipped tail.

"W-w-who are y-you?" asked Chi nervous.

"I am Shadow and you are sweet lady?" said Shadow grabbing her hand and kissing the back of it.

"Ahhh!- I mean it's Chi now please don't do that!" She quickly took her hand out of his grip .

"Oh I'm so sorry miss Chi . I didn't mean to startle you. Is there anythingI can do for you?"

"Well,I was getting a little bit lonely out here all by myself . Want to join me ? I could sure use some company."

"Of course miss," he said walking over to a huge swing , sitting down on it and patting for her to sit next to him,"So do you want to play a game?"

Chi sat down and replied," Uh sure, but what type of game?"Out of the corner of his eye he spotted a little glowing light.Turning hishead he saw a fire fly land on his hand.

"How about we catch the fire flies ? The one with the most wins . Alright to you ?"Chi nodded her head and smiled happily."Alrighty then on my mark , 1, 2, 3, Go!" The two went off in search for the fire flies.

After a few minutes

The game was soon near the end as both players had an even number of fire flies and only one fire fly remained. Chi and Shadow spotted it with a bit of a glint in their eyes. The fire fly noticed this and flew for it's life among the few trees in the yard. Chi and Shadow were running every which way, after the little lightning bug unitll they both crashed into each other , tumbling into a heap on the ground. Next thing they both knew, Chi was on top of Shadow's body,her lips mere inches away from his own. Her eyes widened and a tinge of a pink ran across her cheeks. Shadow cracked his eyes open and saw the embaressed young blonde's face. The corner of his lips twitched upward into a little smirk.'This is working out better than I expected.' he thought.

"Um... I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to run into you I should have looked whereI was going before we bumped into each other." said Chi trying to get up.

"Wait !" said Shadow shooting his hand out to try and grasp her arm,"I, uh, should be the one who's sorry. We were both doing the same thing so I should be able to share the blame."

"I guessyou are right . Thank you, but I do have one question."

"And what would that be miss?"

"Why aren'tyou letting go of my arm?"Shadow looked at where his hand was.

"I,um, thought the posistion you were in felt nice. I couldn't help by the warmth you gave off." he lied. Chi blushed a bit more, but quickly stopped and positioned herself so her back was lying on his chest.

"Is this better?"

"No, how about I get us into a more comfertable position." He then moved so he was sitting up with Chi's head lying on his chest and the rest of her body in between his parted legs. Wrapping his arms around her stomach, he leaned his head down into her hair and took a whiff of her sun colored hair, sending shivers up her spine.He soon felt her fmall delicate hands on top of his own trying to get him to stop.She turned her head to look at him with big innocent pools of saphire.

"Please , Shadow, don't do that .It really makes me nervous."

"Alright, I'll stop," he said taking his face out of her hair and thinking up something else they could do,"Miss Chi, would you like to dance?" She nodded as best she could. They got up and waked into the house where everyone was dancing . Unfortunately the 2 friends went right through the crowd and headed up the stairs to a bedroom that just so happend to be vaccant. Once both of them made it in, Shadow closed the door.

"Hey Shadow? What are we doing up here?I thought we were going to dance?"

"We are, it's just I thought you would be nervous dancing around with a bunch of strangers.But before we dance I want to ask you something."

"And what would that be?"

"Do you, uh, do you,um,-"

"Are trying to ask if I love you are not?" He nodded. She then made a sad face.

"What's wrong ? Did I say something to upset you?" She shook her head.

"No, it's just that I already have 2 people who love me. I don't think they would let me add another in our love triangle." She then looked up and saw a pair of choclate brown eyes gazing at her.She gasped.

"Well then let me help you decide that for yourself." said Shadow in a different change of voice. Chi opened her mouth in an attempt to scream but was cut off by Shadow's lips covering her own. She panicked and suddenly lowered her eye lids, raising her hands to the raven black hair. Instead of she felt feather light threades of hair. She cracked an eye open and was shocked at what she saw.What she saw was not her raven haired friend. It was Ryou!
