Chapter Nine

As Bakura laid there looking at his lovely wife, tears came to his eyes and he thought back on how bleak his life was before she came. He brushed her face with his hand and Serenity opened her eyes and smiled up at the man who changed her life forever. "How are you feeling?" Bakura asked her. Serenity blushed and said "thoroughly loved" she said as she kissed him. They laid there just holding each other and then he suggested that they go get something to eat. As she got up she forgot she was naked and when she stretched he got excited and when she was that he was she smiled at him and he groaned and said "stop that or we'll never leave this bed." She laughed out loud and went to take a shower. Bakura laid there trying to relax but all he could do was think of her in the shower alone and he got up and went and joined her. After an hour they were changed and fixing breakfast together. "What would you like to do today?" She asked him. She laughed when he had that look in his eyes and said "stop that" and he gave raised his eyebrows and she went over and sat on his lap. "You've made me the happiest woman in the world" she said as she kissed him and he said "if you don't stop that we won't get out of the kitchen at all." They got changed and decided to go shopping and when the got to the Mall, they ran into Joey and Seto. "How's married life treating you" Joey asked Bakura. Serenity laughed at the expression on her husbands face and Serenity said "how do you think?" That made the them all laugh. Seto suggested that they all go out to lunch and they really enjoyed themselves. Joey loved seeing his sister so darn happy and he knew that it was because of the man sitting next to her and he understood the feeling because Seto made him feel the same way.

When they got home Serenity went into the kitchen and got some milk and sat at the table thinking. Bakura stood in the doorway and just watched his lovely wife and then he said "what are you thinking about?" She looked at him and smiled and said "I was thinking of us having a family of our own someday" and he came and knelt down and looked into her beautiful eyes and said "baby whenever you're ready let me know." She threw her arms around his neck and held tightly and then she kissed him and he picked her up and carried her to their bedroom and they made mad passionate love over and over till they were both out of breath and then they fell asleep in each others arms. Serenity loved being married especially to her husband who showered her with love every night and day. So began their life together, but something was lurking in the background that would cause her to regress and bring his inner demon to the surface. It all happened when Serenity was visiting her parents one afternoon and her father got a visit from an old friend. Serenity and her mother were in her parents room talking about her and Bakura starting a family, when Serenity got an uneasy feeling like someone was there to harm her. Mary noticed her daughter tense and asked "honey what's wrong?" Serenity started to shake uncontrollably and then she just hit the floor and curled up into a ball and started moaning. Mary screamed for her husband who came running and when he saw his daughter he picked her up and held her as he tried to settle her down. Mary ran to the phone and called Seto and told him and he said that he would contact Bakura who was working as Security at Kaiba Corp and have him get there as soon as possible. The front door burst open and Bakura rushed to his wife, as he passed the man sitting in the living room he got a feeling of dread but he didn't pay any attention he need to get to Serenity and right now.

As he entered the bedroom, Serenity raised her head and reached for Bakura who held her to his chest. "Baby what's wrong?" he whispered to her. She was crying so hard she could hardly talk and in a raspy whisper she said "it's back and it wants to hurt me again" and then she fainted. We need to get her to the Hospital Mary said as Bakura was walking out of the room with his wife in his arms. Hank called Seto and he sent a helicopter to take them to the Hospital, but once they were away from her parents house she began to come ease up a little. As the helicopter landed at the Hospital, Joey and Seto were waiting for them and so was Dr. Faust. "What happened to bring this episode on?" Dr. Faust asked Bakura. She was at her parents home when it happened and as I was holding her she said "something about it was back to hurt her" Bakura told him. Serenity finally came to and she found herself back in the Hospital with her family around her. "Serenity can you tell me what happened?" Dr. Faust asked her. "My mother and I were talking when all of a sudden the feeling that someone was there to harm me again became so strong that I couldn't shake it and I guess I fainted" she said. Bakura looked at both Hank and Mary and asked "them if someone was there when this all started" and Hank said that an old friend came by to see me and then Mary screamed and I went to find out what was wrong. "Who is this friend?" Seto asked him. "His name is Trent Winters and we were shared a room when we were both in College" Hank said. When her father said the man's name Dr. Faust noticed that Serenity started to tense up and he motioned to Seto that he need to talk to him and they left the room. "Listen I need you to find out what you can about this Trent Winters, because I believe he is behind the beating and rape that Serenity received" Dr. Faust said to Seto.
