Me: Hi everyone! I hope you guys weren't waiting to long!
Staraptor: *Holding a feed me sign while being covered in fake cobwebs*
Me: Cut that out!
Staraptor: |3
Me: Anyway, I hope to write more with this story since it's the only one that interests me right now. That, and besides being on DeviantART and going to college, I practically have nothing to do! D8
Joey: Besides have mental breakdowns like you did a few weeks ago.
Me: *Wacks Joey over the head with a bat* Please enjoy!
Joey: OW!
Everyone else: *Sweat drops*
With the Halloween dance fast approaching, Sarah did the honor of taking Emily and Tea costume shopping. Yugi and Joey joined them, since they had nothing to wear either. Emily had a few ideas of what to go as, but she had a hard time choosing a costume even so. Sarah was actually being picky, going back and forth between a fairy and an angel. In the end, she turned to her friends for advice.
"I'd go as an angel Sarah!" Emily said and Joey laughed.
"You kidding me? Sarah's no angel, she's more like a crazy imp with a pitch fork." Sarah gave a funny glare at the boy, then smirked.
"Funny, since there's one right here." Joey sweat dropped as Sarah proceeded to chase him throughout the store with fake pitch fork in hand. The rest of the gang started laughing, even Joey who was being chased. After the chase, Sarah put the prop back and turned to Emily.
"Why should I go as an angel though? Fairies have more color in them." Emily thought for a minute, then Tea smirked.
"Because Bakura would find you most attractive as one." Sarah turned bright red at this said,
"I-I have no idea what you're talking about Tea!" She then started rummaging through the different costumes as the gang smirked. It was becoming quite obvious that Sarah had a crush on Bakura.
"Why don't you ask Bakura to the dance Sarah?" Emily asked. If Sarah's head was a train whistle, it'd be blowing out steam.
"Wh-wh-WHAT?!" Sarah exclaimed, causing many onlookers. The gang looked at Emily as she walked towards the shy teen.
"You seem to really like Bakura." Sarah jolted and looked downwards.
"...M-Maybe..." Emily smirked and poked Sarah's cheek.
"Oh come on." Sarah looked at Emily and sighed.
"Ok ok...I...I really like him..." The rest of the gang was shocked. Not so much Joey, cause he had a feeling, but Sarah actually admitted that she had a crush on Bakura. Sarah figited as Tea smiled,
"I knew it." Sarah's blush engulfed her face, as she turned to the group,
"B-But he probably doesn't like me back. I mean, all the other girls in school are prettier then me, and Bakura would probably want to go with someone else!"
"To where?" Sarah jolted and turned slowly to see none other then Bakura standing behind her. She blushed harder, if that's even possible, and panicked.
"Oh uh, hi Bakura! W-What are you doing here?"
"Just shopping for a costume. I guess that's what you guys are doing too?" He asked. Sarah nodded quickly.
"Ya, oh gees look at the time! I really must be going!" But before Sarah could make her escape, Tea grabbed her hand.
"Bakura, Sarah has something to ask you." Sarah froze and looked at her with puppy dog eyes. "Don't give me that look. You have to say what you need to say, or you'll regret it." Sarah blinked, then sighed. Tea had a point, and she walked back slowly to face Bakura.
"What's wrong Sarah? What is it that you nee-""Will you go to the dance with me?!" Sarah blurted out, before Bakura could even finish. He blushed a dark red and looked down. Sarah's eyes were clamped shut and was a new shade red that the people of Crayola would be proud to make a new crayon. The two remained silent for a good two minutes, and this unnerved the group.
'W-Well..." Bakura stuttered. Finally! A response! "I um...I..." Bakura looked like he was struggling to find the right words. Sarah looked at him slowly and saw that he was still blushing, and looking around the room slowly, except at her. "I..." He then looked at her. "You...You really want to go with me?" Joey face planted and yelled,
"Why the heck do you think she asked you?!" Tea then proceeded to whack him upside the head.
"SHUSH!" Sarah looked down and nodded.
"Y-Ya..." Bakura stared at her, his pulse faster then usual. He cleared his throat and said,
"I...I was actually hoping..." Sarah's hopes dropped instantly. Was he going with someone else? "I was actually hoping to ask you to go with me." Sarah's head jolted upwards,
"R-Really?" Bakura nodded smiling.
"Yes. So, seeing that you asked me, I'd be happy to!" Sarah stared in amazement at the boy. He said yes. He said yes! She celebrated in her head, dancing and everything. She wanted to say so much, but all that came out was,
"Meep!" Sarah blushed a deep red and covered her mouth. The gang stared at her, and Bakura chuckled.
"So, I'll pick you up at six?"
"H-Huh? O-Oh! Ya, I-I really look forward to it!" Sarah said, trying to control herself. Bakura nodded and waved smiling a sweet smile,
"Me too. See you then." He then walked off in the crowd of people. Emily walked over and hugged Sarah.
"I'm so happy for you Sarah!" Sarah smiled widely back.
"M-Me too." The rest of the day went on with everyone finding a costume and Joey treating everyone to lunch. They actually bumped into Bakura again and all had lunch together. Emily actually had the least, only eating a slice of pizza and an iced tea.
"So what are you going as Bakura?" Sarah asked.
"Me? A vampire. I thought it'd be neat to go as something I'm not." Sarah giggled and then took a bite of her pizza. All of a sudden, she heard someone whistle.
"Hey beautiful!" Everyone turned to see three boys sitting at the table across from them. "You a ticket, cause you've got fine written all over you!" Tea sighed in annoyance.
"Really?" Sarah blushed nonetheless and gripped Bakura's hand. He blushed as he looked at her. He saw that Sarah looked extremely nervous, and he returned her grip. She smiled slightly and he smiled back. The boys walked over and one hunched over, getting close to Sarah. Closer then she would've wanted.
"Hey girl, why don't you ditch these losers and come with us?" Sarah smiled nervously and said,
"Uh, no thanks."
"That's no way to talk to someone."
"I-I'm sorry, but I'm not interested..." Bakura started to glare at the boy and put an arm around Sarah protectively.
"She said she's fine here." Bakura's voice was the same, but seemed threatening. Sarah blushed as the boy hmphed and turned to Emily,
"Now you look like the kind of girl who wants to go places." Emily blinked and said,
"Wh-Who, me?"
"Some boys just can't keep their hormones in check..." Tea said, squeezing her temples.
"Agreed Tea." A voice came. All of a sudden, a boy fell to the ground unconscious. Everyone was shocked and turned to see Atem standing with his hands in his pockets.
"Wh-Who is this guy?!" One boy exclaimed frantically. Atem smirked,
"Let's just say, someone who you don't want to mess with. You're friend there is only passed out. I suggest you leave now." The boys panicked, grabbed their friend, and ran.
"Th-Thank you Atem." Sarah said, "But don't you think that was a little extreme?" Atem turned to the girl.
"Not as extreme as what I would've done if they hurt any of you."
"He has a point." Yugi said smiling. Sarah nodded, then realized that Bakura was still holding her, and was going to say something, when Bakura pulled her closer. She looked at him, and he looked back at her, his eyes full of seriousness, but his cheeks had some pink on them. Sarah blushed and looked down. The gang looked on as Joey smirked and whispered to the others,
"Now I could be wrong, but we could be seeing the beginnings of love here." The others, besides Sarah and Bakura, sweat dropped but smiled nonetheless.
"You alright Emily?" Atem asked. Emily turned the boy and nodded.
"Ya, thanks. I'm glad you came when you did." Atem nodded as well.
"As did I." Emily smiled and noticed the time.
"Oh! I better be going. Dad will be wondering where I am." The rest of the gang nodded. The gang dispersed, except for Bakura, Sarah, Yugi, and Emily. Since they walked down the same street, it was fine.
"I can't wait for the dance!" Sarah said, still holding Bakura's hand.
"Me too! You two make such a cute couple by the way!" Emily said, and the two blushed looked in other directions. Yugi chuckled as Emily smiled. As they passed an alleyway, they noticed that the road was closed for construction.
"Darn it! Always with the road construction!" Sarah huffed. The gang looked down the dark alleyway, and Emily gulped.
"I-Is there any other way?" Bakura looked around.
"Yes, but we might need to backtrack 20 minutes." Yugi blinked and looked the alleyway over.
"It...It doesn't seem that long."
"M-Maybe..." Sarah said, as she noticed the sun setting. "Maybe we should've taken a bus..." The gang looked at eachother nervously. Knowing the information they already knew. They would have to go through the alleyway.
