It took Bakura a moment to respond, and for that moment, Ryou was certain he had done something wrong. Then Bakura's mouth opened as the tomb robber took control of the previously chaste kiss.
Ryou could feel the other's fingers tangling in his hair as the darker tilted his head, giving the yami a better angle to deepen the kiss.
His dark's tongue was insistent against Ryou's lips- he parted them and allowed the tomb robber's tongue to coax his own into play.
They broke apart only when the need to breathe became too much to bear, but they remained close. Both took deep breaths, savoring the lingering feelings their kiss had left.
"What does this mean, Ryou?" Bakura asked, resting his forehead against the teens and hoping he knew the answer.
"It means 'I love you too, Bakura'." the other said softly. "I'm okay with being yours, but please- stay with me?"
"Mine, my Ryou... my angel, only mine..." Bakura said, capturing his light's lips again. Ryou yielded to Bakura's hungry kisses, returning them with as much passion as he could muster.
They fell to the stone floor of the cave, the yami on top of his hikari. Bakura's hips pressed down on the teens, his hikari's legs caught in between his own. The taller ran his hands along Ryou's sides, itching to feel the soft skin he knew was hidden behind the cloth.
Ryou allowed the tomb robber's hands their freedom, bringing his own up to pull Bakura closer. Both moaned as they felt their bodies awaken to the lust running heavy in their veins.
"I want you again, Ryou." Bakura warned him. "I'm going to take you right here and make you mine again"
"Please." Ryou said, pressing another kiss to the taller's hungry mouth. Bakura devoured what his hikari offered greedily, knowing he'd never get tired of that taste that belonged only to his light.

Bakura and Ryou both collapsed bonelessly.
"I love you." Bakura said again. "Mine."
"I love you too, Bakura. So much..." Ryou cuddled up closer to his lover, rewarded when his dark wrapped embraced him tightly.
"We'll go back to Japan tomorrow morning." Bakura said. "Together."
The teen nodded, his eyes closing. His yami was tired too- he grabbed their blanket and pulled it over their bodies.
He shut his eyes and they drifted into dreamland.
Next Morning
Two figures crept up upon the shallow cave, taking one look at the blanket over the entrance and nodding to each other.
The taller one smirked triumphantly.
"I TOLD you Bakura would find them a cave to hide in." Mariku said, laughing. "I win!"
"I never should have made that bet." Malik said sourly. "And how was I supposed to know there weren't any old, undiscovered tombs in this area? Egypt's full of them..."
"This means I get top when we get home!" Mariku crowed, ignoring his hikari's muttering.
"Whatever- that's when we get home. Let's hurry up and get them up." Malik and Mariku quickly untied the knots and moved the rocks so they could get in.
The sun was shining directly into the cave, giving them a perfect view of the inside.
They blinked, looked at each other, and then burst out laughing. Malik held onto the side of the cave entrance for support and Mariku just let himself fall, rolling on the ground.
The horse they had lent Bakura looked at them disinterestedly, flicking her ears in irritation.
There, curled up in the middle of the cave floor, was Bakura and Ryou. Both were naked, judging from the amount of clothes strewn about the cave.
Here's the kicker- Bakura was holding Ryou in a tender embrace. Ordinary people would either blush or go 'awww', but for the Ishtars it was funny.
"And there he was, saying he didn't feel any of the softer emotions..." Mariku said.
"'I told him I never wanted to see him again.' he says." Malik imitated in a high-pitched, girlish voice. "'Stay out of my affairs, Malik.' Apparently, he decided he wanted to see quite a bit more of Ryou!"
"I guess that's one way to get laid..." Mariku mused, faking thoughtfulness. "Trapped in a cave all night, only the other for warmth..." His eyes took on a wicked gleam. "Oh hikari..."
"Maybe- did you bring a camera?" Malik asked, eyeing the sleeping couple. "If I get a picture of Bakura being sweet to anyone... wonder what he'd pay to keep those photos out of the Pharaoh's hands..."
A stick was suddenly thrown at his head. Malik ducked, spinning around to see Bakura, sitting up and very much awake.
"What are you lunatics doing here?" he demanded, shifting as if to block Ryou from their sight.
"We just wanted to make sure that 'poor Ryou-kun' didn't get hurt by 'that jerk Bakura'." Malik said, mock-seriously. "Mariku, do think 'poor Ryou-kun' has been hurt?"
"Hmm... Let me think." Mariku pretended to ponder for a moment, then nodded. "He is probably suffering from SAS- Sore Ass Syndrome. He might not be able to walk at all today!" A look of mock-concern came over his face.
"Unless Bakura's the one suffering from a sore ass..." Malik said. They both started laughing again.
"You idiots! You'll wake him up." Bakura growled. He glanced over his shoulder at his lover.
'Too late.' He turned his head back and glared at the two Egyptians.
"Hmmm... Kura?" Ryou sat up, the blanket falling down his chest and pooling in his lap. He kissed Bakura sleepily. "Good morning, love..."
Then he noticed the two Egyptians.
"Oh my." He quickly grabbed the blanket and pulled it back up to hide his chest, blushing. He tried to be as unnoticeable as possible as he inched his way behind Bakura.
"We're happy for you, Ryou-kun." Malik said. Mariku nodded his head enthusiastically, but then they both started laughing again.
"You two- leave, now!" Bakura commanded.
Mariku looked at Bakura for a moment, then looked at Malik.
"You know, it's a whole lot harder to be intimidated by him when he's shouting up at you from the ground and covered in nothing but a blanket."
"I think you may be right." Malik said.
Bakura growled and stood, caring little for modern-day modesty. Malik and Mariku squeaked in surprise as he began stalking towards them, a murderous aura in the air.
"Leave. Now."
"Fine then." Malik said. He waved to Ryou. "We'll tell them you two will be along shortly." With that, the two Egyptians turned and walked back to their horses, quickly mounting them and riding off.
Bakura turned back to his lover, smiling at the way Ryou blushed. It wasn't difficult to notice where Ryou's eyes were focused- below his navel and above his knees.
'So innocent...' Bakura walked back over to Ryou, helping his lover up and pressing their lips together.
"Morning, angel." he said. "Let's hurry up and get dressed- I don't even want to know what those two will tell the Pharaoh and his gang when they get back."
"Okay." Ryou quickly located his boxers and kalasiris, just pulling them on since they had no wash water.
By the time he was done, Bakura had cleaned up the cave and gotten dressed himself.
He stacked the two blankets they had on the back of their horse and motioned Ryou over.
"You'll probably be a bit sore today, so we'll be riding slow." He tapped the Millennium Ring around his neck. "This should take us right back to the Estate. Ready?"
"Ready." Bakura lifted Ryou up onto the blankets so he wouldn't be too uncomfortable and then slung himself up on the horse behind Ryou.
He clicked his tongue once, and they were off.
