Bakura's Holiday Love

Chapter 9: You + Me=?

Bakura's POV

"You can be nice when you want to be, y'know that 'Kura?"

I was running.

I blinked, looking around I was surrounded by snow, and everything was white as if a deep fog had clouded over the area. There wasn't anybody around except for me, and yet I kept on running, running as if my life depended on it.

There! In the distance I could see a lone figure just standing there in the midst of all this blankness, surrounded by a sea of snow; I continued on.

"…I really do like you 'kura"

The closer I got, I found that it wasn't all that cold anymore, and the raging of the wind seemed to lessen. As I got nearer to that person, the air seemed warmer more inviting and the ice inside me was replaced with a burning heat.

"…Maybe I should just show you"

My heart began to race, my entire body was on fire and before I realized it there was no more ice cold blankness of before but the warmth of the sun and then I being held tightly as if they were afraid to let me go.

"Why would I want to even look at another when I have everything I want and need right here?"

"Y-Yami…" I stuttered it was Yami who held me. I felt…relieved I suppose, and he chuckled softly as I visibly relaxed, leaning back in his arms.

"Kura I-"

I tried to turn to him, but he held me there, surprisingly strong.

"Kura I want you-"

My breath hitched, it was too soon for that wasn't it?

"Kura I want you to wake up"

Huh!?! What is he-?

I was suddenly pushed violently, and tumbling I fell off…the bed. "Arrgh, what's going on…?" I groaned rubbing my back where I hit the floor.

I looked around the room; it was Yami's bed room. After Yami confessed, I sort of moved into his room sharing a bed with him instead. Ryou was happy I guess because he got a room to himself… 'Brat'

Only now looking around I found the reason why I was on the floor, not because Yami pushed me oh-no it was because of them.

Yami who had recently woke up looked over the bed to see if I was okay before glaring at the idiots who decided to wake us up.

"Malik, Marik what are you two doing in my room, it's too early to be dealing with you two and why did you push Bakura off the bed" Yami questioned angrily.

The two blondes shared identical smirks that spoke of danger in volumes that or they were tripping old ladies again. That's when I noticed that they were carrying backpacks and Malik even had a toothbrush sticking out of his mouth… 'Don't tell me…'

Now whilst I liked Marik and Malik even considered them to be friends some what; one can only tolerate so much insanity in a day. This is why when Yugi and Ryou popped into the room and turned the puppy dog eyes on us I knew there was something wrong with this picture.

"So ah, hm let me get this right…you (points to Marik) and you (points to Malik) are staying here, in this house, with all of us, and you two (points to Yugi and Ryou) are allowing them?" Yami pointed out clarifying the situation.

//Are you outta your mind we can't have Marik and Malik here in the same house it'll be destruction, pandemonium, chaos! //

/Bakura, stop overacting…and why are you on the floor? / Ryou looked at me strangely.

//It has already begun…// I muttered, picking myself up and sitting on the side of the bed.

Through all this Marik and Malik just stood there with silly little grins on their faces, Malik slowly brushing his teeth. "Hey Hikari this is better than morning cartoons ne?" Marik stated laughing shortly, bouncing on his heels hands in his pockets.

"Look they'll only be staying over tonight as tomorrow is Christmas and all. Isis had called earlier saying that she had had enough err, enough vacation time an needed to get back to work…yeah that's what she said. So you two get ready breakfast is almost ready" Yugi finished, and both hikari's left laughing nervously.

"Sooo, looks like you two are cozy…late night?" Malik questioned, his yami snickering by his side.

"Look you guys, you must've already heard it from our hikari's so you know the deal now beat it your annoying" I growled out.

Marik turned to me with a wounded look. "Bakura, why so mean…" he whined pouting at me.

I glared, "You threw me off the freakin bed, I have a right to be angry you baka, now get out I'm not in the mood to deal with you" I scowled daring him to protest.

He would have, but his hikari grabbed his arm. "C'mon yami, I'm hungry and besides you have all day to play with Bakura" Malik stated pulling the slightly taller yami out of the room, giving us a haughty smirk on the way out.

Yami sighed, before turning to me. "You sure you're okay? No concussion or anything?" he asked coming up behind me leaning over my shoulder.

I leaned against him. "Nah, I fell on my back…hope I don't have a bruise there…cause I-this body bruises easily" I stated off handily.

Yami chuckled, before leaning back. I gasped as I felt a brush of cold air across my back. "W-what're you doing?" I mumbled.

"Hm…yeah it's not much but you're lower back is pretty red" Yami answered, running his warm hands across what I assume was the bruise. I shuddered slightly, a bit back a moan.

"S-stop its fine, its fine" I grabbed my shirt pulling it down, great now I'm blushing.

Yami laughed again, "Cute"

"I am not cute, that word doesn't apply to me" I started. Yami laughed getting off the bed, to rummage through his closet.

"You're right, yami's are not cute, hikari's are cute- we on the other hand are…" Yami trailed off, waving his hand in the air trying to catch a word.

"…sexy" I supplied with a grin. He turned to me smirking.

"Well I was going for dark and mysterious but sexy fits in there too-yes we are dark mysterious and sexy beings" Yami finished laughing as he pulled out his choice of leather for today.

"Do you only have leather in that closet of yours?" I questioned, peeking into the small room. Hm yes he only has leather in that closet, oh and a single black demin jacket.

Yami smirked sneaking out of the room; from down the hall he called, "I get the shower first" before ducking in. That little sneak, he knows he spends forever in the bathroom. "Don't use all the hot water dammit!"

----

Eventually we arrived downstairs, I occasionally shivering. 'Because Yami just had to take a twenty minute shower and use up all the hot water' I glared at the leather clad pharaoh once again.

"I said sorry didn't I, besides the heat is on and fire place is well stocked you'll be warm in no time, just don't get sick okay" Yami said trying to make up for the fact that I could die of pneumonia at any moment.

"Bakura are you alright…Yami you used all the hot water again didn't you? Grandpa said you're going to get it, if the water bill is high again this month." Yugi griped placing plates in front of Yami and me.

"Good thing we already took a shower this morning, I just hope the bathroom dries before Isis comes home later" the blonde hikari intoned, inspecting his toast before taking a bite.

I turned to the stove to see that it was almost twelve in the afternoon. "So when did you two get here anyways?" I questioned turning the two blondes.

Malik blinked, "Around eight, eight thirty them times…Marik was half asleep but Isis said she was late for an appointment or something" the hikari stated, before warning his yami that the hot chocolate was indeed hot.

"Considering that it's around noon now, why did you wait so long to wake us up?" Yami intoned, as he watched Marik stare at the hot chocolate impatiently.

"Because Marik wanted to watch you two sleep, I just tagged along…MARIK" he shouted as his yami drank the piping hot cup and immediately spit the whole thing right back out on the floor.

"Id wus hawt" Marik slurred fanning his tongue. I sighed…wait just a moment-

"Did you just say that you two spent practically three hours watching us sleep?" I exclaimed in disbelief.

"Hmm, yep did you know Bakura that you make the most peculiar noises in your sleep?" Malik added suggestively with a creepy grin to match.

"Marik you shouldn't enter peoples rooms, especially when they are sleeping, and Malik as a hikari you should stop Marik from doing such things" Ryou advised, as he mopped up Marik's hot chocolate puddle.

"I did, I stopped him from entering your and Yugi's rooms, I couldn't hold him back when wanted to see Bakura tho" Malik stated as if everything was perfectly fine.

"Wait didn't I lock the door last night?" Yami mentioned randomly.

"As if a locked door would keep Marik out…"I mumbled to myself.

----

After breakfast Yugi and Ryou shooed us out of the kitchen, saying that they had to prepare things for tomorrow, y'know being Christmas and all.

I sighed, as I lounged on the couch, Yami of course right beside me. Malik and his twin were lying on their stomachs on the floor in the middle of room. It is a nickname that we gave to the two blondes-since they were too much alike to differentiate between yami and hikari with those two.

We were all watching holiday themed movies since every channel was showing at something related to the topic. Marik wanted to watch the animated movie about a 'talking' reindeer with a red nose and how he got accepted by the other 'talking' reindeers who thought he was different, in a strange way.

I rolled my eyes; there was a lesson in this movie that I didn't feel like learning.

I tensed as Yami's wandering hands started making their way up my thigh. I glanced at him, and he smirked back at me. The little sneak, I bite my lip refusing to make a sound, there's no way I'm going to loose to those…oh Ra those wicked hands of his. My eyes shoot open, not noticing when I had closed them to begin with, when Yami is suddenly pressed up beside me.

"Give…up" He whispers huskily in my ear, sending shivers through my body. I shake my head unwilling to back out yet.

I heard him chuckle darkly, and licks my neck. My breath hitches when he slides a hand up my shirt, I quickly pull them back down glaring at him. "Don't cheat…you know what happens when you go there" I ground out, face red.

He smiles innocently, well tries anyways; removing his hands. "It's not my fault that you have such sensiti-" I glare at him, "alright, how about this" I almost shout in surprise as he suddenly grabs me through my jeans.

He smirks coming in close making a 'shhh' motion with his hands, glancing briefly at the 'twins' currently watching the reindeer talking with an elf. I glared, so this was a game then, I licked my lips as we stared at each other for a moment. Yami's eyes narrow a fraction more, before a truly devious smirk stretches across his face.

I admit I had no chance, as he was literally holding all the cards.

He quickly moved to cover any noises with a kiss, as he continued to dare I say fondle me. My face was bright red, that I knew for sure; but I couldn't focus on that at the moment, as I felt a warm hand travelling up my chest, I arch into his touch, all the while glaring as he chuckles softly.

I bite back a moan, as Yami continues to molest my body, I really wonder if those two are really watching that stupid movie; it hard to believe that they haven't noticed our actions nearly three feet away from them.

I'm jolted out of my thoughts as Yami bites my already bruised lip. He's glaring at me, apparently for not focusing on him. He suddenly tenses, sitting up and pulling me with him. My eyes widen as I am bodily moved from one end of the couch to the other, now sitting so close to him, we're practically the joined at the side.

I throw a questioning glance his way, before he mouths 'Hikari' nodding towards to the hallway. I glance over to find Ryou and Yugi coming down the hall, probably to check up on all of us. I raise an eyebrow at Yami, before turning back to the movie.

I am not surprised to see Marik still immersed in the movie; the reindeer were now flying and pulling a sled…as I said dumb movie. I am perturbed to notice that Malik was not watching the movie, but smirking lecherously at me; I'm pretty sure my face is red at the moment.

"Yami, is Bakura alright?" Yugi asks, pausing from talking with Yami to look over at me. I curse inwardly.

"Maybe he really did catch a cold…Yami if Bakura gets sick because of your vanity" Yugi starts, Ryou looks ready to pull out a thermometer, I can tell.

There is a snicker from Malik as he looks up at us, mischievously before turning back to the movie. "O-oh, Bakura caught some thing, but it ain't no cold~" the blonde teased waving his finger in the air as he laughed to himself. I growled when he turned to smirk at us.

Yami raised an eyebrow, Yugi and Ryou looked between the three of us confused. "It's alright Hikari, Bakura is perfectly fine, no need for the thermometer Ryou" Yami states, Ryou frowns putting away the medical instrument. I sigh, turning to glare at the blond hikari who had gone back to watching the movie with his yami.

Well the movie was finished anyways, and it had a happy ending as all kids movies do these days…I glanced sideways at Yami, he had sent our hikari's on their merry way and was now engaged in a death glare match with Malik.

"Do you have a problem Malik?" Yami questioned, narrowing his eyes.

"If anyone has a problem here, it's you Pharaoh" Malik returns, they both had millennium items glowing; I was surprised that our hikari's didn't come running.

"Err, hey why are you two fighting?" I stated looking between the two.

Malik smirked, "Hm, true you having the Pharaoh fight your battles for you now Kura?" Malik goaded, I twitched at the obvious misuse of my name. Yami looked ready to throttle to other.

"Aw sweet, Frosty the Snowman" Marik shouted happily, singing along with the movie.

Great, first it was reindeer and now there are talking snowmen…

----

I am shaken awake, blinking I look up to see Ryou smiling at me. I growl, when did I fall asleep? Sitting up, I notice the blanket draped over my shoulder, looking around I noticed that Yami wasn't in the room neither was Malik or Marik. I turn back to Ryou when he clears his throat suddenly.

"What's up hikari?" I ask, pulling the blanket around me; why was it so cold now.

"Yami wanted to know if you were awake, are you sure your not sick Bakura?" Ryou questions sweetly, I twitch.

"Fine you can use the thermometer on me, but first tell me what Yami said" I relent, sighing as Ryou proceeds to giggle to himself, yea he's a strange child I know.

"Yami wanted to know if you were awake, and if you wanted to join them in making a snow man, apparently the movie inspired Marik to make a snow man of his own" Ryou said smiling.

I blinked, "Do they even know how to make a snowman?"

Ryou smiles at my skeptical look, "I don't think so, but Marik keeps on insisting that he does, I believe that Yami was just going along with it all until you woke up so that he could challenge Malik to a snowball fight; they've been glaring at each other the entire afternoon" Ryou finishes, sighing as Yugi comes in.

"What are you doing Ryou? We have a lot of work to do, oh hey there Bakura; Yami's waiting for you by the back door" Yugi adds, pulling Ryou out of the room. I grin, zipping up my sweater, before grabbing my jacket and pulling on my boots. Yami was indeed waiting fore me by the back door, a disgruntled expression on his face.

"Yea, your totally not cute" I say as he leans up for a kiss; pulling away a bit too soon for my liking.

"Tch, I know I'm Yami remember?" he says smirking, before turning back to view the backyard. "Kura, we're going to bury Malik in a fury of cold, frozen water and he's going to regret annoying the pharaoh" Yami plotted tapping his fingers together in a creepy way. I almost thought that he was going to break into an evil laugh-but Yami doesn't do evil laughs.

"I see" I replied, enjoying the devious atmosphere. Malik came up to the house, grinning all the way; they had finished making the snowma-err…creature-thing that Marik is claiming to be a snowman.

"Well pharaoh, let's do this thing" he said, rubbing his hands together happily.

"Hmm, lets" Yami answers, as we leave the house. "Oh and nice snow…man…" Yami pauses, wide-eyed to actually look at the monstrosity. Marik grins at Yami's almost compliment, turning to Malik.

"See hikari, I told you it was great, even the pharaoh says so" he shouts, Malik looks away, pretending to not notice his yami shouting at him.

We each took one side of the backyard, and began to build our forts. Suddenly Yami jumped up from beside me, "Hold on, we forgot the rules!" I blinked, rules, really?

Malik looked up from behind his half made fort and sneered, "Rules pharaoh? What rules could there possibly be besides don't lose?" Malik glared at us from across the yard.

Yami sighed, "Well there are rules none the less, for instance, no yellow snow, and no eating the snow…and no eating yellow snow…" Yami cringed at the last statement.

"Okay, but who in their right mind would eat that…eww Marik that's disgusting you will stop that immediately!" Malik gasped. Marik blinked finishing the frozen ice.

"What you want one too? Yugi has a whole bunch of them in the kitchen…what?" Marik paused noting the blank looks everyone was giving him.

"Erm, never mind that; also only throw snow, no dangerous objects hidden in the snow like rocks or knives…and so on. Other than that start anytime" The moment Yami was finished he was hit with a ball of snow.

"I said no yellow snow!" Yami shouted; face red as he glared the laughing twins.

"That's not yellow, it's red!" Malik shouted back, doubling over with laughter as Marik pouted, his snow cone now covering the side of Yami's face.

"Fine, if that's the way you want to play it, Bakura we must attack the only way we know how, with duel monsters…" he said dramatically, pulling out two cards.

I stared blankly, I'm pretty sure there are other ways to attack an enemy but duel monsters are good too. I watch as Yami uses shadow magic to call forth the turtle catapult and a multiply spell. Soon our side of the field was nearly covered in snow balls. We quickly loaded the catapult as the snowballs just kept on multiplying.

We laughed at their shrieks of terror. "Wow you really did bury them in an um, fury of frozen water" I stated. Yami smirked, "Cold frozen water, Kura" Yami looked on the verge of an evil laugh, I was about to pull him close when there was a bright light from the other side of the field.

Yami and I stared in awe as a huge dragon type monster rose up from the snow, melting almost everything it touched.

"HA HAH, Pharaoh you thought you won, but it was the contrary, it has just begun!!" Malik gloated, standing atop the shoulder of the huge creature. Marik sat shivering beside his hikari, glaring at us, snow falling off his hair.

Yami chuckled darkly, pulling out a card. The Curse of Dragon materialized, and we got on its back, the two dragon monsters hovered at a stand still.

"Well then Malik, it seems we are on equal ground, surrender and your punishment shall be quick" Yami goaded, looking down at the blond hikari.

Malik growled, "We shall see who is superior, pharaoh just you wait!" Marik shouted pointing at us. They both shouted their attacks, and for a moment the entire yard were covered with a bright light. I'm pretty sure you could've seen it from Kaiba Corp.

When the light died down, both dragons were gone, and unfortunately so was the snow. We heard a loud cry and turned to find Marik running around screaming for his frosty.

Malik, completely ignoring his yami, came over to where we were standing and turned to Yami. "What now?" he asked, looking about.

Yami too looked about, before turning to me, I shrugged. "How about a truce…for now until the snow comes back" I added, noting the blank looks they were giving me. There was a long pause in which the only sounds were Marik screaming at the sky to produce more snow.

"Well that seems like a good idea, not that I have forgotten your punishment for crossing the pharaoh" Yami acquiesced, holding out his hand.

Malik stared at Yami for a moment, before taking his hand, "Right, this isn't over you hear" he promised.

We all stood there watching Marik make a fool of himself for a while, until Ryou and Yugi came to call us in.

"Hey Yami I just got a call from Kai…ba…oh Ra what did you guys do to the back yard!?" Yugi shouted dropping the phone from shock.

"Oh…aibou, err surprise?" Yami started, laughing nervously at Yugi's shocked expression.

----

Normal POV

An hour later found the group sitting the living room once again, well the group minus Ryou and Marik as the blond yami seemed have caught a slight cold and Ryou was just too happy to use his special edition thermometer. Yugi had turned in earlier claiming that there was just too much excitement with three yami's in the house.

Bakura and Yami had to hold Malik back at the sounds of creepy giggling coming from down the hall.

"Lemme go I have to save my yami!" Malik whined, as Yami resorted to sitting on the fidgety teen.

"He's fine, Ryou is just a tad bit creepy because he's been wanting to use his thermometer for a while now" Bakura tried to explain, Malik puffed out his cheeks glaring at the tomb robber.

"That's what you say, but when your yami is sending you images of Ryou wielding a samurai sword and-" Yami pinched Malik effectively shutting him up.

"Okay stop, that was just ridiculous, and another thing, Marik is delirious because he is sick, so calm down" Yami snarled already fed up with the blond.

"Fine…I give, let me up" Malik huffed. Yami 'eeped' as Bakura lifted him off of Malik.

Yami shivered as Bakura held him close, nibbling on his ear. Yami leaned back letting the other have his way, Bakura continued on until he left a few marks visible on his neck. Yami turned to him, pulling his head closer until they locked lips, Bakura held Yami closely running a hand up his shirt to get more contact. Yami moaned, pushing the taller teen back until they hit the couch.

The atmosphere in the room started heating up as Yami proceeded to climb onto Bakura's lap, pinning him to the couch, he began to unbutton his shirt. The light haired yami grabbed others hair, distracting him from his task, to engage him in another kiss.

Bakura grunted as Yami found what he was looking for, and pinched his now exposed chest. Yami grinned as he broke their lip lock, face red and bodies overly stimulated. There was a sound from behind them, and they jumped apart, blushing deeply at the sight of Malik watching them a blush now tinting his face at being caught.

"Ow, I just hit my leg on the table, but don't stop on my account" he assured smiling a bit creepily.

Bakura bit his lip, cursing himself for forgetting that Malik was still in the room, as he quickly button up his shirt. Yami shifted, looking anywhere but at the other two in the room, unknowingly showing off his glaring red hickeys.

"Aw I suppose I killed the mood" Malik smirked at their obvious wince, grabbing the remote to turn on the TV. "It's too bad, you two look good together, about time you two shacked up anyways"

The blond crashed into the recliner, as he continued to flip through the channels. "You don't know how close we were to locking you two up in a closet or something, it was getting pretty bad there, Yami was obviously checking you out Bakura and you were so oblivious if it wasn't so aggravating it would have been hilarious; but alas it seems that we have some how gotten a happy ending out of this" Malik finished his tirade, looking back at the two in question, smirking when he noticed that they had left the room.

"Well might as well enjoy it, Marik is sick…sick people can't open locked doors even Marik" he giggled at his own joke, before leaving for the kitchen; Yugi must have some food in there somewhere.

Tenshibabe: Okay so I didn't get to Christmas in this chapter, but next one for sure. Marik and Malik gotta luv 'em, hey guys, next chapter is the last for this story it's been a great run, look out for it yea! R&R
