Ryou broke the water's surface a few hours later, scanning the area around him quickly and finding himself alone. He flicked his tail, moving himself forward at a lazy pace, rolling onto his back and closing his eyes as he was bathed in the setting sun's glow. Curling his arms behind his head, the merboy sighed softly, listening to the water lapping gently against his body.

His mind wandered at he floated slowly around the center of the pool, reliving the moments that he had ended all too soon.

If he concentrated hard enough, he could still taste the salt from the things Bakura had called 'pretzels' mixed together with the sweet flavor of the grapes. Unconsciously licking his lips, he opened his eyes and stared up at the orange and pink sky, watching as a seagull and a few other small birds flew overhead.

Judging by his actions earlier, Ryou knew that his time to mate was even closer than he had anticipated, making him a bit nervous.

What would happen if he did mate with the human?

Was it possible that he would be cast out of his home?

He frowned at the thought. He shouldn't care about that… he was the one who had decided to leave in the first place. But, the face of his smiling mother caught his mind again, the picture of Malik soon following.

What about them? They would probably miss him…

Were they looking for him now?

His thoughts were cut short at the sound of a door sliding open, causing the young male to drop his lower half into the water as he sat up in alert.

The sound of rapid clicking filled the air soon after, green eyes widening in fright at the sight of two brown and black sort of animal's rushing towards him. Gasping, Ryou sunk a few inches in the water, backing up a bit and readying himself to duck underwater at any moment.

"Hey, hey, relax… Sai, Kai, sit." The voice of Bakura drew emerald eyes upwards, spotting the human to be walking towards him, the article around his waist changed from the beige to a black color.

Ryou stayed quiet, watching as the creatures stopped at the edge of the pool and sat down, both of their mouths opening with goofy grins and tongues rolling out. The boy looked back up as Bakura sat down in between them, throwing a large bunch of thick-looking material down a few feet away, before dipping his legs into the water and draping an arm around each of their furry shoulders.

Bakura watched the merboy for a few moments, noticing the white hair that was spreading out in the water behind him and glowing an orange color in the sunlight. He finally decided to break the silence, gesturing to the dog that panted happily under his left arm, "This is Kai," He nodded towards the other under his right arm, "And this is Sai."

Kai barked in excitement, standing up and shifting in his place, making Ryou duck down another inch in surprise.

"Don't be scared of him," Bakura laughed, patting the animal's head, "He only wants to play."

"What… are they?" Ryou asked timidly.

"German Shepherds." At the confused look he received, Bakura continued, "Dogs. One of the maids just dropped them off on my uncle's request. Supposed to keep me company, I guess."

"Oh…" Ryou moved closer on inspection of the quieter dog, Sai, reaching out a wet hand to touch the white patch of fur on its neck. He gasped in surprise when the animal leaned down, a cold nose suddenly pressed up against his cheek, followed by a hot tongue. The boy laughed as Sai continued to lick him, Kai deciding to get in on the excitement too and trotting over, sniffing Ryou as well.

"Alright, alright, Sai, hey -" Bakura pulled the dog away from the merboy, only to be licked continuously as well. "Hey! Hey, c'mon now…"

Ryou chuckled softly, backing away from the furry animal that was leaning forward over the water, pink tongue darting out to try and get another slurp at him. He looked towards Bakura, seeing the human slipping down into the water with him.

Holding onto the side, Bakura called out to the dogs, "Sai, Kai! Where's your toys?" He smirked as both of the animal's ears perked up in attention, "Go get your toys!"

The dogs let out excited barks, taking off back into the house with a clatter of nails.

Turning around, mahogany eyes landed on the merboy, who was shying away from him slightly. Letting go of the edge, Bakura moved out past Ryou, dipping under the water and wetting his hair. Feeling the other's eyes on his back, he turned to look over his shoulder, grinning as he met the merboy's gaze.

Ryou felt his heart begin to quicken again, his body itching to move closer to the human. He resisted though, directing his eyes down to the water and focusing on the orange reflection of the sun.

"Bakura…" His soft voice cut through the silence and he felt Bakura's attention poised on him again, "I just… I apologize, for…" He trailed off, the sound of the dogs barking in the house taking his attention, "…for earlier. I hope -" He stopped again, the water shifting around him and making him look up.

The human had moved towards him, a curious, yet slightly devious look in his eyes, "You hope what?"

Ryou swallowed, his heartbeat becoming a bit louder in his ears. His body had fallen partially numb from his nerves and he swished his tail back and forth idly.

"I just… hope that… you don't hold it against me or anything." He let out a squeak after the words had left his mouth in a rush, feeling a soft kiss pressed into his lips.

"I don't." Bakura smirked as he pulled away, only to catch a glimpse of a flushing face, before wet arms were thrown around his neck and a slim body pressed against his. He felt the soft mouth against his again, the grip around his neck tightening as the merboy tried to hold himself higher.

Losing himself in the strong hold of the human's arm slinking around his waist, Ryou closed his eyes and curled his tail around one of his legs in a small sign of possession. He could feel his heart beating rapidly, his hormones in full motion, causing his body to react to his current situation.

He broke away a moment later, his breathing harsh and the blush on his face burning brightly. Swallowing as he opened his eyes, the smaller male met the dark gaze of the human, before the other broke away, leaning down to press his teeth gently against his throat. Ryou inhaled sharply and let out a small sound, his eyes closing again and head tipping to the side slightly. His neck had always been a sensitive spot, ever since he had been young, and Bakura seemed to notice and take advantage of that right away.

Licking up the smooth expanse of his neck, Bakura nibbled softly at the pale jaw, before moving back down to the junction of his shoulder. As he worked, the one hand that had been holding the merboy around the waist carefully removed itself to trail down over the smooth scales, curving around into his tail. Pulling his hand up through the water again, he began to lower it once more, using his knuckles to, this time, move down between their bodies. He felt the small transition between flesh and scales, quickly finding the hardened portion of the other's body. His findings were confirmed almost immediately, as Ryou's fingers tightened in his hair and the body against his hand jerked forward.

Bakura heard the heavy breath of air let out beside his ear as the merboy knocked his head gently against his. His inner smirk only grew, knowing that he was going to get some tonight and from a fantasized race as well.

Giving the other male another nip to his neck as he drew his hand away, he listened to Ryou whimper softly at the loss of contact, carefully prying the arms from around his neck. Turning towards the side of the pool, Bakura hauled himself up out of the water, before turning around and gripping the pale boy under the arms, pulling him up into his lap.

Ryou was connected to the human again as soon as he felt himself resting in his lap, curling his tail back around the others ankle and letting his fin trail down into the water. His body was yearning for the male now, his mind overrun by his hormones, begging for his body to be touched. He had knocked the human down onto his back again without realizing it, his kisses full of lust and want. The prince jumped, though, when something hit his shoulder, bouncing off and making a squeaking sound. Panting softly, both teenagers looked up, seeing the two dogs standing above them, grinning and wagging their tails happily.

After a moment of near silence, Bakura chuckled softly, caressing the boy's sides gently to get his attention, "She wants you to throw it for her."

Ryou blinked, looking down at the bright orange ball that had hit him. Picking it up, he squeezed it experimentally, grimacing slightly as drool oozed out of the middle, as well as the squeaking noise. Glancing back down at Bakura, he saw the other's grin widen.

"Throw it towards the beach." He instructed, earning a bark of excitement from Sai.

The boy did as he was told, letting the ball fly over the glass balcony and onto the golden sand below. Sai yipped again, bounding off around the edge of the pool and pushing past the black gate to get to the beach.

Bakura sat up soon after, holding Ryou securely in his one arm, using his other to take the ball Kai had dropped and throw it in the same direction Sai had run off to. Alone again, Bakura turned his attention back to the merboy, the smirk he had felt inside of him moving across his lips. Leaning forward until he was nearly nose to nose with Ryou, he whispered, "Now… where were we?"

Ryou grinned shyly, before the human leaned closer, closing the distance and laying him down to the side. He felt the male straddle his body, lowering himself to give him a chaste, teasing kiss. His body reacted again, arching slightly at the touch of fingertips sliding along his chest, lips pressed against his once more. A waist pressed down against his, the merboy gasping and tilting his head, back arching again.

A dark chuckle drifted through the air, Bakura moving down the slim torso under him. Backing up slightly on his knees, he trailed one hand down onto the other's flat stomach, dipping down a bit lower to the point of making the younger boy cry out softly and raise his hips.

"Stop teasing me - !" Ryou managed out, gasping again when he felt an uncomfortable feeling in his lower body, followed by a line of pleasure up his spine.

Bakura's smirk widened as he pressed his index finger further into the slit he had found earlier that afternoon, feeling the hot walls of the merboy hugging his fingers as his muscles tightened. He licked his lips, watching the features of the male below him twist as he slowly moved his finger back and forth, adding a second after a few more moments.

The two pelvic fins twitched and Ryou cried out again, the pressure building as a second finger entered his hidden passage. Panting a bit faster, he could feel his arousal pushing to break free from where it had been patiently lying dormant the past few days. Pale hands gripped at the wet pavement below them, never finding a suitable hold on the smooth ground. He felt the human slip another arm around his curved back again, holding him up partially and leaning in to murmur words into his ear.

"Are you hiding yourself from me, little Prince?" His fingers pressed into the others sensitive body roughly, causing him to gasp sharply and cling to the other's shoulders.

Ryou could feel his manhood slipping from its hiding place, the skin above the human's fingers stretching outward to accommodate the pale object as it emerged. He moaned softly and shook his head, burying his face against Bakura's neck and tilting the elder male's head down. Knowing that he had gotten the message, the merboy tightened his grip around the other's shoulders, a wave of pleasure sweeping through him, down to his submerged fin, causing it to twitch in excitement.

The human ran his fingers slowly over the newly emerged shaft, already slick with its own, clear fluid. Bakura listened to the sharp, steady intakes of breath at his ear as he stroked the younger boy, drawing out another moan with a quick flick of his thumb over the leaking head.

"Oh…" The young prince fisted a large chunk of white hair in his hand as another jolt was sent up his spine, "Bakura, please…"

The human grinned into the other's shoulder, giving him a small bite, "You wanted to see how I 'split', right?"

Ryou gave a small nod, a tiny portion of his mind becoming curious again.

"Well then… I suggest you pay attention."

Taking a moment to get control of himself for a few seconds, the merboy allowed the body he was holding onto to move away from him. He watched; blush ever-present, as the human stood up, hooking his thumbs in the top of his bathing trunks and slipping them down.

Ryou could feel his face burning brightly at this new sight, his eyes taking in the exact 'split' of the human, watching as a few beads of water slid down his slightly tanned and toned body, his manhood standing proud and looking rather, well… manly.

After a few moments, emerald eyes met mahogany again and Bakura dropped back down onto his knees, straddling his lower body once more.

"What would your mother say to this?" He suddenly whispered, the thought striking him as odd.

Obviously caught off guard by the question, Ryou went silent, merely staring up at the male. He finally shook his head, replying with, "I don't care what she thinks… not about this, anyways. I want this."

Bakura smirked, leaning down to place both of his arms at either side of the boy's head, touching his nose with his own softly, "You sure?"

He nodded once, trying to relax his body, not quite sure what to expect.

"I've never had sex with a merperson before." The human positioned himself to the best of his knowledge, looking into green eyes for one last silent sign of approval.

"I've never had sex before." Was the only reply.

As a last moment idea, Bakura gathered the boy back into his arms, giving him a lingering kiss, before whispering, "This should make things easier."

Not quite sure what he had meant by that, Ryou's eyes suddenly closed on their own and a wave of pain raced through his body, arms immediately finding their safe place around the human's neck. His mouth had opened and he found himself letting out small cries, in the pain he felt or the pleasure that it was melting in to, he wasn't sure.

Bakura drove himself forward carefully at first, trying to quickly map his new territory to gain a sense of what he should be doing. He found that he needed to tilt his hips upwards slightly when he moved forward, his grip unconsciously tightening around the prince in his arms. His thrusts became a bit faster after another moment of getting used to the body under him, his heart racing at the rhythmic clamping of the muscles surrounding his solid shaft, which were already hugging him tightly.

Grunting out his approval into the silver locks under his nose, Bakura quickened his pace, the feeling of the merboy jerking against his waist nearly driving him over already. The younger male was whimpering and moaning out his pleasure as the human continuously hit something deep inside of him, muffled against the others neck. His back arched suddenly with a hitch of breath and a loud, "O-oh!"

Inhaling sharply at the warm sensation against his stomach and the jerking motions from the body in his arms, Bakura was rudely pushed over into his climax, his arms tightening to a crushing point as he felt the muscles around him clamp down tighter than he had expected, his seed nearly being squeezed out of him without his consent.

Ryou panted harshly against the neck in front of him, trying desperately to slow his breathing and stop his body from shaking. Small tremors from the aftermath were running through his body and he suddenly felt drained of all his energy. Leaning heavily against the solid body that still held him, the merboy swished his tail tiredly in the water, before closing his eyes.

Bakura felt the weight increase against his chest and glanced down, seeing that the prince had fallen asleep against him. Carefully lying him down on the pavement, he removed himself from the smaller body, noticing that the other's lax arousal had retreated back into his body.

Wiping the white liquid from his chest and stomach, as well as what had gotten onto the sleeping merboy, Bakura laid down next to him, grabbing at the towels he had brought out with him earlier. Draping his waist with one of them, he used the other two as makeshift pillows, slipping one under Ryou's head. Settling back down, he pulled the younger boy close to him, running his fingers back into the mostly-dried white hair.

Knowing that the two dogs knew their way back up to the house, mahogany eyes slid shut, a yawn escaping him.
