Chapter 6 - Spending Time Together

Bakura sat down in the seat across from the smiling teen. Yami was enjoying this immensely.

"How you managed to get Malik to agree to this, I'll never know." the thief sighed, shaking his head in disbelief.

The former pharaoh simply said, "Let's just say it took a little... persuasion, should I say?"

"Couldn't you have just told me you were planning this?" Bakura said in an exasperated tone, Yami resting his head on the palm of his hand.

Yami innocently asked, "Now why would I do that?"

The thief looked at his surroundings, a little wary of Yami in the event he decided to pull anything else tonight. "How did you pay for this anyway?" he inquired, looking up at the lofty ceilings and the chandeliers that were swinging gently above them.

He glanced at Yami's eyes to see him staring off behind him. The albino turned to see two brunettes sitting at the table behind him waving at them. "Well, that explains everything. I should have guessed." Bakura sighed as his lover waved to them. It was none other than Seto Kaiba and his girlfriend Reiko Kitamori.

They stood to their feet and walked over to them. Reiko sat beside Yami and Kaiba sat beside Bakura. "So, how is it going, Yami?" she asked with an innocent smile.

"Reiko, really, you don't need to bother him with such a simple question." Kaiba sighed, shaking his head at her.

Yami had began laughing. "I just couldn't believe I didn't bring a camera with me! Bakura's face was priceless!"

The albino blushed darkly at that. "How could you tease me like that?!" he cried, making Yami laugh a little harder.

Kaiba couldn't suppress the smile that touched his lips at the sight. Reiko just tackled Bakura, saying, "You are just so adorable!"

"What?!" Bakura said, drawing some attention to their table. They quickly returned to their conversations, ignoring the group entirely.

Yami smirked at him. "Well, I can't really blame her. You're cute when you blush." Bakura looked away as Kaiba attempted to pry Reiko away from him.

"Stop saying things like that!"

"I'm glad everything's going well, then." Kaiba smiled at his friend. Bakura didn't want to admit it, but he really was enjoying this. The albino just smiled as the couple and Yami conversed with each other. He couldn't help thinking how this gorgeous male had turned out to be.

Yami, who had been the pharaoh in their past lives, had accepted him not as a killer, but as a lover. He noted that the teen looked beautiful in the dim lights of the restaurant. As he began fantasizing how he would look in he moonlight, the waiter arrived with the food.

"Food's here!" Yami cheered, pulling Bakura from his musings. Seeing practically the entire freaking menu on the table, he widened his brown eyes. "What did you order? The entire menu?"

"More or less, yes." he answered as he began eating some of the seafood on the table.

About an hour or so of just eating and socializing, the lights suddenly went out.

Many of the people gasped in fear, hoping this wasn't some sort of attack. Reiko screamed, Kaiba growled, "What the hell?!", and others from the mass crowds of people were running out of the restaurant.

Bakura, who was well-adapted to this level of darkness, looked at the people that surrounded him. After looked at the confused, frightened, and downright pissed expressions, he glanced at the male that planned their date.

Wait…

Why is Yami smiling?

The teen looked absolutely malicious in the darkness! Something just doesn't add up in the albino's mind.

Yami's hand shot out and grasped his left wrist in seconds and began dragging him outside. Before Bakura could protest, they were quite a long way away from the restaurant.

"Yami, what-"

He didn't have a chance to finish his sentence when Reiko and Kaiba were seen running off in another direction and the restaurant exploded. With the debris coming at them from the destruction, Yami smiled, "Those bastards… I told them I wasn't meant to be crossed."

"I don't understand!" Bakura said, a little shocked at the sudden experience.

"I'll explain later." He promised, dragging the thief away from the site before the police arrive.

Hidden in an alley going Ra knows where, Bakura was still being pulled along by his lover, but looking at his face from time to time, Yami would sometimes look evil. He could only wonder why they look so alike in the darkness.

Once gain glancing at the former pharaoh, he saw the dark expression upon his face, something that disturbed greatly for no particular reason.

Yami was disturbed from the attack. He had made a deal with a few...close friends of his. If anything had gone wrong while they were there, they were meant to destroy, hopefully killing whoever was attempting to take his life in the confusion just moments before. However, this was something Bakura should never know about.

Speaking of which...

"When are you going to answer me, damn it?!"

"What does it matter?" Yami countered calmly, hiding his rapidly growing irritation from the teen he dragged behind him.

"What do you mean 'What does it matter'?! You suddenly drag me out moments before the restaurant is bombed and you won't tell me how you knew something was going to happen or why any of this happened! You clearly know something! Tell me!"

"Why do want to know all of a sudden, hm?" Yami demanded. Bakura has no right to pry into his life like that. Not yet, anyway.

"I can't be a little concerned that was I could've died back there?!"

He had a fair point. Both of them could've been killed in that scene.

Having enough with the charades, Bakura managed to quickly trip Yami and pin him to the cold ground, causing the teen to gasp in surprise.

"When will you tell me the truth? When will you stop hiding from me?" he asked, hoping to get at least that much out of him.

A smirk from Yami was the only warning the thief got before their positions were quickly flipped with ease. "How about this? Give me about a month to let me get my life in order and I'll tell you everything then." Yami proposed, keeping a firm grip on Bakura's shoulder's as he struggled.

"You promise you'll tell me everything by then?"

"Of course. I mean, it's only, what, April 1st, right? I should have plenty of time." *I hope...*

The albino conceded, "Fine. I guess I can wait that long."

Yami allowed him to swap their positions once more before said albino gave him a skeptical look. "I just hope your not lying to me."

"I may keep secrets, but I'm not much of a joker." Yami laughed before pulling him down into an aggressive kiss, both letting out a low moan into it.

~A/N: Bakura: Was this really necessary, Sakura?

Yami: I'm with him on this one.

Sakura: Hey, at least I didn't kill you two off! I was pretty stressed out this week and was tempted to cut it short! The again, I don't want to upset my fans. That, and I don't want to kill you two off, but it's hard not to under pressure from the outside world.

Bakura: Thus the reason you procrastinate on typing up your stories?

Sakura: Guilty as charged.

Yami: Be nice, Bakura. I've seen the stress she goes through recently. It's horrible.

Bakura: And you know this how?

Yami: {shrugs} No clue.

Kaiba and Reiko: Please Review!
