Chapter 23
Girlfight Part 2
Keket had a surprisingly good night's sleep but morning came faster than the blink of an eye. She rolled over turning the alarm clock off with a bang of her fist.
Sliding herself out of bed she mopped to the kitchen for breakfast. She turned on the TV and sat on the kitchen counter pouring some cereal into a bowl.
"Today, the handsome billionaire playboy, Seto Kaiba was seen with Ishizu Ishtar, the city museum's owner also well known for her recent donations to the city orphanage.Today,we followed them to the Duel Monsters convention in Osaka where Murray has the latest. Murray?"
"Oh?" Keket was interested. She hadn't seen Isis or Seto in months this could be good.
"Thank you Jan. I'm here live in Osaka to bring you the latest in Kaiba news. Ladies grab your baseball bats because today its official.Seto Kaiba is now engaged. To whom you say? The one and only beautiful Ishizu Ishtar!"
Keket choked on her cereal. "What!" She slid off the counter and turned up the volume.
"Now they claim their real reason to be here is for Kaiba to give a speech but we all know that's a load of Bologna."
"Damn right!" Keket shook the TV. This was unreal. Why would Ishizu ever agree to marrying that guy?
She gripped her head rustling her black hair. "Have they gone insane?"
Ding dong.
The doorbell was followed by a brief knocking.
"Coming!" She shouted to the door running towards it.
She turned the knob catching her breath.
Bakura stood at the door smiling. He was dressed in black pants and jacket and a red shirt. A lot more than what Keket was wearing which was a short cut pale green shirt and a pair of panties.
Bakura handed her a pink rose trying his best to ignore her revealing state. "For you."
"Oh...that's-that's sweet of you." She eyed the boy's gaze which directed below her torso. "Maybe I should go put some clothes on."
"That sounds like a good idea." He agreed softly.
"Uh, did you want to come in?"
"I would love to."
Keket led him in quickly disappearing into her room.
"Just make yourself at home. Sorry about the mess. I was angry."
Bakura chuckled and explored the living room. Pictures of Marik and his sister were everywhere and not one of Keket was found. Not until he stepped on one which was completely shattered.
He picked it up and sat on the couch observing it.
"Bakura?" Keket yelled from her room.
"Yes?"
"Did you hear about Marik's sister's engagement?"
"Yeah, Tea told me about it." He watched Keket reappear pulling her shirt down and sitting next to him.
"Does Marik know?"
"Yes. He isn't too happy about it either."
"I can imagine." Keket noticed the picture in his hands. "So why did you come over?"
"To see if you would like to go out with me."
Keket smiled at how blunt Bakura could be.
"You want to date me? Even after what I said?"
Bakura embraced her pressing his forehead against hers. "What can I say? I'm a stubborn guy."
"Yes you are."
"So, is it a date?"
Keket studied his friendly gaze before giving in. "Fine, but where are we going?"
"A place."
"What place?"
"You'll see, go put your shoes on."
Keket raised an eyebrow and slid on her shoes that were waiting by the front door.Bakura beat her to opening the door and even offered to lock it for her.
"Bakura?"
"Yes?"
"Stop being a gentleman."
"It's the way I was raised."
"Oh you know that's a lie. You're only acting like this because you're trying to impress me."
Bakura smiled ignoring her correct observation and walked back to his car this time without helping Keket into it.
As they exited the neighborhood, Keket ran through the reasons why Ishizu would ever want to marry a man like Seto.
He was rich but so was Ishizu.Not as rich but never the less.Secondly, he could be romantic at times.Keket could see that. But still Seto wasn't fit to take the role of a husband. He just didn't have that kind of...look she guessed.
She leaned against the window, her eyebrows narrowing with thought as the images of Tokyo passed her by.
Bakura watched her out of the corner of his eye with amusement. He loved her thinking face. It was one of the little things she did that made him tingly all over.
His fingers crawled over the leathery stick shift and across her soft bare legs. She squeaked.
Keket pushed his fingers away feeling them slid and pinch her inner thigh. "Bakura!" She blushed.
The boy only smiled and returned his fingers to their rightful place on the steering wheel. He felt her relax and look out the window again. Silly girl. Little did she know that there would be a lot more touching coming her way.
Marik dug his fingers into his bed sheets. He lay on his back staring daggers at the ceiling. He had just watched the news and heard about his sister's engagement.
"Unbelievable." He believed the world had literally gone insane...or at least his sister and ex-girlfriend.
Speaking of ex-girlfriends,Marik began to wonder about her. He bit his lip thinking at her. What she was doing? Where she was? Who she was with? Hopefully not with Bakura.
Then it hit him. Maybe Bakura really didn't go out to get a carton of milk. He hated himself for being so stupid. It was obvious Bakura was stealing her from him. That's what he meant by a challenge. Who can get Keket first?
"That Bastard!" He narrowed his eyes and tightened his fists.Great, now he had two women to save from their doom.
The doorbell rang.Marik looked in the direction of the sound and rolled his eyes.
"That better be a social worker." He climbed out of bed and walked to the front door.
He opened the door rubbing the back of his head. "No, I'm not interested in a product that could change my life."
"What about a girl?" The familiar voice piped in his ears.
"T-tea?"
The brown-haired girl stood in the doorway in a sexual sort of stance.
"Hey you."
Marik gulped taking a step back not just because she was beautiful but because she was wearing a bikini, a very revealing bikini that gave an insight into what size bra she wore.
"Tea...what are you doing here?" He tried to regain his stern look but failed horribly. The light blue low V-neck top was killing him from the inside out.
Tea noticed this and smiled stepping closer to him. She ran a finger up his bare torso riding the indentions of his tight abdomen.
Marik panicked and pushed her away. "What the hell is your problem? Why are you here!"
Tea tilted her head to the side and bit her lip watching his arousal in curiosity. "I wanted to know if you would like to go to the beach with me."
"Wait, what's with the sudden change of heart? Are you asking me out?"
Tea forced herself in, closing the door with her foot and pressing her breasts against his chest.
"I'm not asking you out Marik, I'm ordering you out."
Marik fell back on the couch. He supported himself up on his elbows, his legs hanging off the arm of the couch. He was soon focused to lie back down as Tea crawled on top of him rubbing his abdomen and chest with one hand and supporting herself with the other.
Marik mentally fought with himself to ignore the girl's actions but he couldn't. The feeling of her soft hands on his thighs aroused him to the point of insanity.Damn! Did all women have power over him?
"Fine! I'll go with you."
"Great." Tea's facial expression popped back to its normal friendly state.
She hopped off of Marik and pulled him out the door. "To the beach!"
"Wait! Don't you think I should change first?"
"Nonsense! I have trunks in the car!" She shouted with happiness continuing to pull on the tanned boy's arm.
This was going to be quite the day.
"We're here." Bakura shook Keket gently. She had dosed off shortly after her critical thinking.
"Wha?" She blinked a few times seeing a bright blue sky and hearing seagulls in the distance. "Where are we?"
"At the beach. I'll help you out."
Keket sat up watching Bakura walk around the car and open the door for her. She stepped out sighing.
"What did I tell you about being a gentleman?"
Bakura closed the car door and leaned against it. "You didn't tell me anything."
"Well...now I am. Stop- being- a- gentleman." She pocked his chest with every word.
"As you wish." He lifted her hand to his lips and kissed it lightly making her winkle her nose in frustration.
"Sometimes you just irritate me to no end,Bakura."
"That's what I'm here for." He stared at her to see what her next move would be.
"I'm bored. Why did we have to come to the beach? I hate this. I can't even go in the water."
Bakura hatched an idea. "That can be arranged."
Before she even knew it,Keket found herself slung over Bakura's shoulder and carried into the water.From what she gathered, he was apparently going to throw her into the ocean.
"Bakura! No!" She sounded like she was talking to a dog.
She struggled against his tight grip around her middle and since Bakura didn't want to get kicked in the face, he dropped her as the bigger wave came.
This game of 'Dunk the Egyptian' went on for a good 2 hours.Bakura claiming victory on numerous occasions.
After Keket finally admitted defeat,Bakura pulled her out of the salt water. They began to walk back to the car.
She pushed him playfully. "Jerk."
"Yes, but I'm your jerk."
Keket thought about that and looked back out to the horizon. "Just because I'm dating you doesn't mean were lovers you know that, right Bakura?"
" Yeah,but I also know that there are ways to get you to say yes. Even to the most...erotic of things." He took off his jacket and handed it to her even though it was already wet too.
"Just drop it Bakura."
"Very well then. Do you want to walk around for a while or do you want me to take you some place else?"
"I'm fine here. A little wet but I'm alright."
"Hey that never would of happen if you were nice to me."
"What?I was being nice. You threw me in!"
"Oh and now you're shouting at me? Honestly,you are mean little girl."
"Shut up!" She laughed trying to push him but he grabbed her hands.
His chocolate gaze never once left her green one. He felt her tension subside and saw that it was okay to pull her a little closer.
He soon fully embraced her rubbing his nose against her neck. Keket held her breath knowing this felt good but she had to stop him.
"Bakura?"
"Hm?" His eyes were closed now and he drew imaginary pictures on her back.
"Why are you doing this? Didn't you listen to-?"
"I heard you it's just...my nose was cold and I was trying to warm it up." His soothing and slightly muffled voice spoke. "Can't we just stay like this for a while?"
"But Bakura-"
"Gees Keket,you're always the one to ruin a good moment." He pulled her down to the sand letting her sit between his legs. "Now hush. I'm enjoying myself." He kissed her wet hair and fell into a light sleep.
Tea pulled up to the familiar blue car next to her and turned off the car. She leaned back sighing and stretching in an attempt to get Marik to look.
But he didn't.Instead, he was trying to look away but mentally erasing images was not doing the trick.
Tea examined the navy blue trunks she gave him. They were brand new and fit him perfectly. She felt lucky to have the world's most sexist man in her car. Not only that, but the fact that Keket hated him now made everything fall into place perfectly.
She didn't realize it before but she wasn't the best friend in the world. Instead of finding a way to get the two Egyptians back together, she drove them further apart.Bakura made excellent bait. She knew about the crush he had on her so it worked like a dream when it came to persuading.
So know Marik Ishtar was hers. To Love, To Kiss,To..well the list goes on and on.
Now if there was one thing, Tea was truly thankful for was that fact that most men never sat with there legs crossed in thus giving excess to their more...interesting parts of the male body.
Resting his chin on the palm of his hand,Marik had been focusing on a seagull choking on a Cheeto when all of a sudden a warm, soft sensation came crawling up his leg. As he looked down,he turned a bright pink and before he could predict what a hand was doing down there,it shot up his trunks and groped the most precious and fragile part of his body.
He let out a brief moan of ecstasy only to find it muffled as Tea's pink lips came in contact with his. She had crawled on top of him.
"..T-tea.." He gasped wanting to push her off and then again not wanting her to stop.
Marik's right hand searched for the car door handle only to find it being redirected to grip Tea's behind.
The air in the car was lessening and getting warmer at the same time. If Marik didn't escape this torture he would lose his virginity right there in the car.
Bakura opened his eyes seeing Keket lying in front of him.
She seemed to be posing like a super model. "Hello. Had a nice sleep?"
"Was I asleep for long?"
"No.Not really."
He copied her pose and started brushing sand off her legs.
"So where do we go from here?"
"Home?"
"Right now?But it's probably like 1 o'clock."
"I don't care."
Bakura rolled his eyes and stood up helping Keket do the same. They walked to the car."I just wanted to spend more time with you."
"We can do that later.I just really want to go home."
Bakura tried his best to put on his best pouty baby face.Score!
"Fine,if I kiss you will you take me home?"
"Deal but I'm taking you out tomorrow."
"As long as it's not at the beach."
"I promise." He smiled as she pulled her closer.
He closed his eyes waiting for the kiss to arrive but it never came.Bakura opened his eyes to see a very angry looking Keket.
"Keket?What's wrong?"
"Bakura? Why is Marik here? And why is he making out with Tea in her car!"
