I don't own YuGiOh

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Bakura sat on a tree limb, his back against the trunk and one leg hanging carelessly over the branch. He looked out into the distance. It had been five days ago that Lavie had left. Not a long time, but long enough for him to miss her intensely.

"Hey, Bakura!" Malik yelled from below.

Bakura glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, but never gave Malik any type of hint that he acknowledged his presence.

"I'm coming up!" he yelled again as he began to climb the tree. He sat on a branch not far from Bakura's, settling in and making himself comfortable.

"So…how are you?" he asked after a long silence.

Bakura sighed shifting in his seat but never answering.

"Come on… talk to me." Malik smiled.

"Just go away." Bakura finally said, still with his back to him.

Malik sighed, "What happened to us, Bakura? We used to be the best of friends."

"We wanted to bed the same girl." Bakura answered.

"But did we really let a girl come between us?"

"Yes."

"Well…now we don't have to. I have Isis and you have Lavie."

"Doesn't mean you still don't want Lavie."

"What makes you say that?"

"The way you look at her."

"I just be playing. It's a tradition. Can't rid yourself of a good thing." Malik stated as he closed his eyes smiling. "I truly don't have those feelings for her anymore."

"Doesn't matter anymore," Bakura huffed, "she's gone."

Malik crossed his arms and gave Bakura a stern look, "I'm shock at you, Bakura."

Bakura turned toward Malik raising an eyebrow, "Why?"

"For giving up so easily."

Bakura rolled his eyes, "I didn't give up, just stopped."

"Would've fooled me." Malik responded sarcastically.

"What do you me to do? There's nowhere else to look!" Bakura shouted growing irritated with Malik, "It's not like you helped any."

"I didn't hit her." Malik replied coolly.

Bakura didn't respond; he simply looked away.

Malik smirked; he unfolded his arms and started down the tree cautiously.

Bakura watched him through the corner of his eyes thinking over their conversation.

Once Malik got to the last branch, he jumped off landing skillfully on the ground. He looked up at Bakura, "Thought I'd just give you a couple things to think about so you wouldn't be up there wasting your life away." He shouted up at Bakura.

Once he realized Bakura wasn't going to say anything to the comment he added, "You should go rob a tomb or something, wouldn't want you getting rusty or me better than you, oh, Ra forbid if I should become better than you." He walked off laughing leaving Bakura to sulk alone once again.

"Today's my birthday, today's my birthday." Zaire skipped down the hallway singing in a joyous mood, she'd been waiting forever for this day. The day she would finally be considered a woman and not a child.

"Today's my birthday, I'm sixteen, today's my birthday, I'm-"

"Will you shut the fuck up?" Lavie growled at her. Leave it to Lavie to destroy happiness.

Zaire blushed "Forgive me." She bowed in apology.

Lavie rolled her eyes, "You are going to have to act like a woman now that you are one and women don't go skipping down the hall singing their bliss to the world, got it?"

Zaire nodded her head, "Yes, ma'am." She smiled, "but I can still be happy about it right." She screeched jumping up and down.

Lavie sighed; she had a lot of work to do. If it were up to her, she'd make sure this girl became a full woman by time this day was over, but the pharaoh would probably wait until the girl was ready. Then again, who ever said it had to be the pharaoh, or maybe she could talk the girl into wanting it, Ra knew that the pharaoh wanted it.

Lavie smiled, "I'm going to teach you what being a woman is all about."

Zaire beamed, "Really!" she squealed, "That would be glorious. You have my never-ending gratitude." She laughed again as she hugged Lavie.

Lavie laughed uncomfortably, "You're welcome." She said through clenched teeth praying the girl would let off.

Once Zaire did let go she breathed a sigh of relief, "O.k. Lets get to it." She said placing her hand in front of her as a gesture for Zaire to lead the way.

Zaire laughed again and took off down the hall toward her room.

Lavie shook her head again; she had a lot of work to do.

Yami paced nervously in his room, he had this beautiful night all planned for Zaire. He was excited, yes, but also not quite sure of what to expect.

He had wanted to talk to Zaire, but his chibi tenshi hadn't shown up that night.

The doors opened and Seto walked in looking as smudged as ever.

"What are you looking so stuck up for?" Yami asked slyly.

Seto smirked, "I just had the most wonderful time. I'm glad I have a girlfriend who I can have fun with." Seto winked when he said fun.

Yami growled, "Are you mocking me?"

Seto placed his hands to his heart, "Me? Mocking?" he said in a hurt manner, "Never."

Yami rolled his eyes, "Is every thing ready?"

Seto smiled, "Yep. Now all we need is the birthday girl."

Yami took a breath, "Good."

This night, he'd make sure, would be one to remember.

"Now, do you know what it is you must do to become a woman?" Lavie asked.

Zaire shifted on the bed, sitting on her legs to become more comfortable.

She put her finger up to her chin in thought, "Do I have to…um…go through a traditional type thingy?"

Lavie blinked, "A traditional type thingy? Oh, you mean a ritual?"

Zaire smiled, "Yeah, that's what it's called."

Lavie shook her head, "No, you don't." Lavie thought for a moment, "actually you could call it that." She said on second thought.

"Well, what is it?" Zaire asked becoming excited and inpatient.

Lavie grinned, "You simply have to give up your innocent ways, catch my drift?"

Zaire's smile slowly disappeared; she turned till she was facing the door bringing her legs to hang off the edge.

"Yeah, I catch your drift. And if that's all it takes to be a woman, than I've been a woman for some time now." She stated sadly.

Lavie looked at her confused, "What do you mean?"

Zaire focused her eyes on the wall opposite the room, "Duke." She said.

"Who?"

Zaire sighed, "Duke. He is the son of my master. He…he takes me on a regular basis. I am far from innocent."

Lavie looked down, "Rape."

Zaire looked at Lavie, "What about it?"

Lavie looked at Zaire and smiled (:: she smiled? ::), "It doesn't make you a woman."

Zaire smiled, her eyes shinning with unshed tears, "It doesn't?"

Lavie shook her head, "No, but Yami would make you one."

Zaire blushed, "Yami…I…I…Yami?" she stuttered.

Lavie nodded, "Yeah. I know you like him."

Zaire stood up shaking her head, "I couldn't. He's the pharaoh. I just…no."

Lavie looked thoughtfully at Zaire, "So you couldn't?"

Zaire shook her head.

Lavie smirked, "Not, you don't want to?"

Zaire blushed even more, "What are you getting at?"

"You like him, he likes you. Fuck each other, that's what."

"How do you know he likes me?"

"It's obvious."

"How?"

"He befriended you."

"So?"

"You…a slave."

Zaire didn't responded.

Lavie smirked, "There, point proven."

They both turned toward the door as a knock sounded upon it. Seto entered, "Yami would like to see you." He said toward Zaire.

Zaire blinked coming out of her daze, "Al…alright." She stuttered. Now she was nervous. She did want to be with Yami, but did he really feel the same way?

Lavie came behind her putting her hand on her shoulder. Zaire jumped being scared from her thoughts.

Lavie leaned toward her ear, "Relax. Tonight you become a true woman."

With that she pushed Zaire toward Seto who linked their two arms and proceeded out the door.

"Have fun!" She shouted as the door closed.
