DISCLAIMER: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh. My father got me hooked on The Matrix Trilogy. That is what I have been doing in my free time. Still, I have only finished the first movie. Work is nuts with the Deliver Us From Evil movie out. Stupid kids making my job difficult... Humans can suck my dick (I don't care that I don't have one Kat!). Also certain coworkers need to never reproduce, or else stupidity will rule the world. Oh well, enjoy this chapter! :)
*Midnight*
I awake alone in my bed. Where's Bakura? I jump out of bed and run into the kitchen. "Bakura?" I whisper. A shadow moves on my left and I freeze. "Who's there?" Before I could react I feel something wrap around my waist and a hand cover my mouth before I could scream. I feel hair brush my face and lips touch my neck. I squirm, but the arm tightens around me.
"It's okay, Layla." I feel his breath on my neck. "It's only me." He lets me go and I turn around to face my fiancée. "What are you doing up?"
"I woke up and couldn't find you so I got up to look for you." I slowly recover from my fear. "Why did you scare me and what are you doing up?"
The moon reflects off his white hair and enhances his hard features. "I was patrolling around on guard making sure you were safe." Bakura crosses his arms. "And I didn't mean to scare you, but at first I thought you were an intruder, and then I recognized you and wanted to surprise you." I sigh and look up at him. His arms open and he beckons me to him. I hug him tightly. "You should go back to bed."
"So should you." I yawn. Bakura smirks, but shakes his head. "Then neither am I." I stubbornly stare up at him. "I'm going to keep you company."
"No, you are going back to bed." Before I could protest, he lifts me up in his arms and carries me to our room. "I can stay up, but you're not used to this." Bakura lays me down gently on the bed. "Though if you had the energy, I would make love to you right now. There is something that arouses me when you look so vulnerable." I blush but don't remove my arms from his neck. "Layla, you don't have the energy; I see it in your eyes."
"I can't fall asleep without you though." I pull him down on me. "At least wait till I'm asleep so I don't know you leave me."
He sighs and covers us with blankets. "Are you warm?" I nod my head and snuggle close to him. Bakura holds me close to his chest until I feel myself drifting off to sleep.
