THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL OF THE REVIEWS!

What Do You Need?

"It's been so long." Lieren whispered as Atem stroked her hand lovingly.

"I completely forgot…" Atem yawned. Lieren smirked.

"Maybe you should get some sleep?"

Atem looked into her eyes. "What about you?"

Lieren blushed slightly. "Not on my first date." Atem frowned.

"Not even funny." Lieren winked and he too was laughing. He had forgotten how much he missed this girl. Hell, he had totally forgotten her! When his memories were erased, he lost all traces of his destined lover. She was back now. And that was all that mattered.

"You can stay here."

Lieren thought for a moment. "What about Yugi and grandpa?"

Atem shrugged and yawned again. He covered his mouth politely. "I'll explain the situation." He kissed Lieren's cheek. He sighed as he stood and out stretched his hand. "C'mon. I'm tired. I'll sleep on the floor. You can have my bed."

"W-What!" Lieren shook her head. "No way! You get the bed. It's your room!"

"Nah. I couldn't make a pretty girl like you sleep on the hard floor." He paused. "Besides, there's no school tomorrow. So, Gramps won't get suspicious of you if you stay in the guest bedroom."

Lieren frowned but nodded. "Ok."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Tiptoeing out of the guest bedroom Lieren gently opened Atem's door. There were two boys in the room. Yugi was sound asleep in the bed to the far right the door. Atem was also asleep. He was lightly snoring and Lieren could hear his deep contented breathing.

She smiled in the darkness. He was so cute. Quietly, she approached the sleeping pharaoh's bedside.

"P-Pharaoh…" she whispered. Atem stirred and opened his eyes. He sat up and sighed seeing Lieren.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?"

"I-I…can't sleep. I don't feel too well…"

Atem frowned with concern. "Where does it hurt?"

Lieren put her hand on her stomach. "My tummy hurts…" Atem pulled back the covers.

"C'mon."

"B-But…." Lieren hesitated. "They'll think that we…."

Atem shook his head. "I don't care. Come here." Lieren closed her eyes as she slowly slipped under the covers. Why was she so unsure? Nothing was going to happen. She blushed. Instantly she felt a warm wave of comfort. It felt so good and relaxing. She smiled as Atem wrapped his strong arms around her. "Where in your stomach?" his deep voice lulled her. Lieren found his hand under the sheets and slid it over her lower abdomen.

"All down here." she said. "It's a weird feeling. not a hurting but…"

"Do you have to go to the bathroom?"

Lieren turned onto her side so her face was only inches away from his. "No."

"Are you sure?"

"Uh-Huh….I tried…"

"Oh. " Atem paused to think. "Are you hungry?"

"No. Actually, I feel sorta bloated and full…and…and fat..." Suddenly, Lieren's eyes widened as she felt a warm wet liquid run down her legs. "Uh-Oh!" She bolted out of the bed and ran to the bathroom. Atem just blinked sleepily. He then got out of bed and followed the young blonde. The bathroom door was closed. Yami knocked lightly.

"What's wrong? Can I come in?"

"N-No…"

"what's going on in there! I need to know that you're ok."

Hesitantly, Lieren turned the doorknob. The door flung open and Lieren's legs were streaked with blood. Atem's jaw dropped.

"W-What! Are-are you! How did!"

"It's ok…I got my period…"

"Huh?"

Lieren blushed. "This is the same way you reacted back then too…" She looked down and saw her blood dripping to the tiled floor.

"Y-Yugi's mom has these things called 'tampons'. Are those what you need?"

Lieren shook her head. "N-No. I can't use those. My mom lost consciousness once because of them."

Atem frowned. "Well, what do we do?"

"Nothing. It's too late. Nothing will be open. I'll just get a quick shower and shove tissues down my underwear."

"Maybe Yugi's mom has something else. " He turned away and walked into the hallway. "I'll look. Stay here."

"Ok…"

Lieren was lying in the bathtub when Atem knocked on the door. "Come in." The pharaoh opened the door and then gasped as he quickly closed his eyes.

"I thought you were decent!" His eyes were still shut.

"That doesn't really matter right now Pharaoh! Now open your eyes!"

"No!"

"Open them!"

"No!"

"Atem…"

"F-Fine…" Slowly…very slowly, Atem uncovered his eyes and saw Lieren in the water. He blushed. She was so beautiful. "Here." He walked closer to the tub. "They're napkins?" He gave a funny face as he read the label.

Lieren nodded and laughed. "Yes. Those are it. They call them pads dear…" Lieren cringed in pain as her stomach cramped. "Can you help me get out?"

Atem's jaw dropped to the floor. "B-But you're…N-Naked!"

The blonde sighed. "Yeah, people do tend to take a bath with their clothes off." She sighed sarcastically. "It's fine. I don't mind."

Atem grabbed her smooth hand and with the other he wrapped an arm around her waist. She was too wet for him too get her out that way. So, he slipped his arm under her butt And the other behind her neck. Carefully, he sat her down on the toilet seat. "I'll get you a towel." He handed her a black terry clothe towel and Lieren smiled.

"Thanks." She blushed as she wrapped the clean material around her bare body.

Atem nodded. He was embarrassed as well. He had just seen this girl naked. He had never got that far with Akira. Suddenly, a thought struck him. Did he want too?

"I can take it from here." Lieren whispered picking up the box Atem brought her. "Thanks again."

"Sure Lieren. Anytime." The two smiled lovingly and soon Atem left the room for Lieren to get changed and dressed. Five minutes later she was back under the covers with her one and only pharaoh…
