Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Half Full or Half Empty? ❯ Chocolate ( Chapter 6 )

Hey, I'm glad all you guys like my fic!! These reviews are really encouraging me to write more for all you guys! Keep `em coming! Much appreciated! ^_^

After stopping off on the way home to grab some videos and chocolate, we made our way back home. As I entered the house, a depressed feeling waved over me. It seemed so lonely without Mom being here. I sighed to myself and took off Jou's green jacket and hung it up on a chair. When I stood around, I saw Yami Bakura standing in front of me, his arms folded across his chest and a complacent sneer plastered on his face.

"Hello, Shika." He said in his edgy voice.

"Bakura… what are you doing out of your ring?"

He suppressed a laugh and looked at the ground, then back up at me. "I think it's about time I told you."

"Told me what? Where's Ryou?"

"If you cannot tell, I'm in Ryou's body, heed my height. I would usually be taller if I were in my own body. Not to mention this ridiculous wardrobe of his." He replied, staring down at Ryou's jeans and creamy coloured sweatshirt that he frequently wore.

"So… what did you want to tell me then?"

"Even though he can't kill me, since I'm already dead, he'll probably try and do so anyway after I tell you."

This statement set me on edge; I had forgotten the fact that Bakura was an immortal spirit. "So… spit it out then!"

"Well, quite simply, Ryou is crazy about you. He has been ever since he got here. But, being the shy and inexperience boy that he is, he hadn't any balls to tell you. So here I am doing it for him. Coward, isn't he?"

My cheeks started to heat through, and I noticed that Bakura's facial expression changed when he noticed the cherry hue underlying my tanned complexion.

"You're cute, you know that? I don't blame Ryou in any way for lusting after you." Bakura stated, patting my cheek gently. I noticed that he was indeed in Ryou's body, as his skin was identically just as soft as Ryou's. His hair was just a little more wild than Ryou's, and his eyes were smaller with thick black lashes at the sides. I fixed my eyes on him; no doubt he was sexy in every way, but it was wrong to love someone that wasn't even… alive.

"I'll be watching." He made his final statement before retreating back into the Millennium Ring and letting Ryou have his rightful body back. Ryou looked at me and fidgeted, looking like he was about to combust on the spot from going so red. Just as he was about to say something, I put my finger to his lips.

"It's okay, Ryou. Don't be embarrassed." I said, trying to reassure him.

He took my hand away from his lips and spoke, "I'm sorry about that… it can't have made your day any better."

"Actually… it did."

"Really? How?"

"Well… if what Bakura had told me is true then… you can be sure that I feel the same way."

"You do? But… how could someone as lovely as you like someone like me? I'm just…"

"You're you, Ryou. And that's why I like you."

He rubbed the back of his head and smiled, blushingly looking at the floor. "So… now what?"

"Well… I'm thinking now would be a good time to do this…" I whispered, turning on my seductive vibes, getting closer to him and putting my arms around his neck so our faces were hardly half an inch apart.

I brought my hands up to his face, taking initiative and parting Ryou's lips with my own skilled ones, slipping my tongue past them to bring him to new heights of rapture, savoring the honeyed taste of him. Ryou's arms twined under my arms and buried themselves in my hair, fingering my long, burgundy tresses. Daringly, I let my hands slide up under the cottony material of his untucked shirt. His skin was smooth and flushed beneath the palms of my hands. Surprisingly, Ryou moaned into my mouth, and he pulled me in closer. I smiled playfully and opened my eyes.

"You like that, huh?" I purred.

"Oh yeah…" he breathed and slithered his tongue into my mouth, exploring every inch of the moist flesh.

A smile formed at the corner of my lips as we pulled back for air. He stared at me, dazed and breathless with his hands now on my hips. Dark ebony eyes fused with deep forest green, and he pulled me into another fiery kiss, wanting, needing more. Without a doubt he was getting turned on, as I felt his warm, hard arousal rubbing against my crotch. I rubbed against it, causing flawless friction between us, and he moaned even louder into me.

"I don't… want this to… to stop…" Ryou breathed, hmming into me.

Boldly, I ran my hand up over Ryou's chest, abdomen and further to brush softly over his thigh. I was loving the little moans that escaped his throat; I felt like I was teaching him the first acts of passion. Encouraged, I moved my hand down and stroked him through the restraints of his pants. Ryou bit down on his lip, trying to hold back a huge moan of pleasure and leaned into the touch.

"As nice as this is… Shika, and it's really nice… I don't want things to move too fast… if that's okay with you." He said, grasping my face lightly in his hands.

I nodded in approval. "Well ah… let's go upstairs to your room and put one of these videos on then, huh?" I suggested.

"Sounds like a plan."

Together we made our way up to his room and put on a video, snuggling down under a blanket on the couch, finishing off the blocks of white and dark chocolate within an hour or so. At around midnight we both began to doze off in each other's arms, and before I knew it, I was the first one asleep.

The subsequent day - Sunday, I jolted awake with a fright - the clichéd sound of a cat screeching and a trash can falling down had woken me. The surroundings in this room were familiar, but vague… and the bed I was in was somewhat… smaller…

Duh! I thought, I'm in Ryou's bed. I fell asleep in here last night, you moron Shika. Mentally slapping myself, I rubbed my eyes and summoned the strength to sit up. I looked across and noticed that I was in bed alone; where was Ryou? Then I noticed - he was still on the couch under the blankets! How sweet… he must have carried me to his bed last night while I was asleep. I smiled and sat on the edge of the bed, looking towards Ryou.

He murmured something in his sleep and then turned in his sleep, inadvertently sending him rolling off the couch. I stared at him as he woke, blinking in confusion, rubbing the back of his head. Not being able to help it, the absurdity of the situation was just too much for me and I broke down into fits of furious laughter. He laughed with me and giggled a friendly "good morning", and got up - his clothes wrinkled from the night before.

Suddenly excited for some ridiculous reason, I got up and dashed over and pounced on him, pinning him to the floor, holding his wrists.

He grinned up at me, and a familiar smirk crossed his face as he flipped me over so now he was pinning me down. And then I realized… it was Bakura, and I was unable to move. His strength was too concentrated for me to even budge.

"Bakura, you've got to stop doing this." I said, squirming beneath him.

"Spirits get hungry too, you know."

I narrowed my eyes at him and frowned, knowing that he wasn't hungry for food, to put it lightly. "May I ask you a favour?"

He quirked an eyebrow up. "Sure, what do you want?"

"Can I see both Ryou and you in your flesh and blood forms?"

"I suppose…" he replied, getting up off of me. Ryou materialized beside him.

"Stop taking over without asking, yami!" he cried, pushing Bakura sideways.

I blinked a couple of times, trying to prove to my brain that I wasn't seeing double. Ryou and Bakura did look incredibly alike. Dark and light… so different, yet so… alike.

"At least I can tell the difference between you." I laughed awkwardly.

Bakura's stomach let out an abrupt growl. "It's been a while since I've used my own body, you know. Got any chow around this place?"

Ryou reddened at his extrovert yami. "Let's go down to the kitchen and make breakfast." He said, making his way across the room. I followed him, along with Yami Bakura behind me.

Bakura sat impatiently at the kitchen table, eyeing both Ryou and I sharply as we prepared some eggs, hashbrowns and bacon.

"May I have my bacon raw?" the fiend asked.

My eyebrow shot up. "Sure I guess." I sliced the fat off some strips of bacon and put it on a plate, handing it to Bakura. He wolfed it down in a matter of seconds.

"You're such an animal, yami." Ryou chuckled, rolling his eyes.

He shrugged. "When's the next course?"

"Coming right up." I said as I finished browning the hashbrowns and put them on a plate. "I hope you like your eggs hard, Bakura."

"No I like them runny, why?"

I nearly barfed at the thought of eating a half-cooked egg. An egg was an unborn chicken, and if you were going to eat it, the least you could do was cook it properly. Well, that's the way I saw it anyway.

"Nevermind." I said, suppressing a laugh. I sat down opposite Bakura.

Ryou finished cooking his lot of eggs and sat down beside his yami. I stared at the two boys, practically twins, opposite me. We ate in a somewhat strained silence. It seemed that none of us knew exactly what to say. Finally fed up with the tense air, Yami Bakura retreated back into his ring. Ryou sighed a bit.

"I guess this is a little awkward, huh?" He asked softly.

I laughed a little, lightening the mood.

"To say the least. Got to say, it's weird having two guys who look exactly alike living in my house and knowing that one of them isn't even human."

It was Ryou's turn to laugh.

"You'll get used to it. It wasn't until two years ago that I had to accept the fact of living with a semi-psychotic immortal twin."

I smiled at him thoughtfully. "I know. I've witnessed enough of Malik and Marik's fights to last me a lifetime. Malik was even living with me at one time, leaving his Millennium Rod at home so he didn't have to face Marik. That didn't last long though, mind you. They apologized and eventually made up."

Ryou smiled briefly and tucked into his breakfast again. Soon we had both finished, and pushed our plates aside. Our eyes fused together again, but it seemed more tranquil than the fiery passion of last night's episode. He continued to gaze at me, as if I was something incredible to look at.

"Are we dating?"

I blinked and then laughed at the odd question that had come seemingly out of nowhere and looked at him inquiringly.

"Do you want to date me?" I returned. The question gave Ryou a slight hesitation along with confusion and he thought about it for a moment.

I narrowed my gaze slightly.

"Well I wouldn't go breaking down anyone's door to tell them, or anything, but yes, I do."

I leaned over the table to kiss him. Ryou's lips met mine, brushing softly against each other. The contact was sweet and tender and I found myself struggling not to sigh.

"What do you think of Bakura?" Ryou asked me out of the blue. I could practically see Bakura's eyes peering out of the ring at me, waiting for an answer.

I thought about it for a minute, picking my brain for an answer. The most I could come up with for an appropriate answer was a shrug. Ryou stifled a laugh.

"Why?" I asked.

"It's pretty obvious about what he thinks of you, isn't it?" Ryou replied.

I hadn't really thought about Ryou's yami very much; my thoughts always clouded over in a lustful haze whenever I was near Ryou lately. "I don't know. Is it?"

Ryou sighed. "He's got the hots for you, Shika. Just as much as I do, if not more."

I frowned. "Really?! But he's… just a spirit!"

"He's a lot more than you think. He has his own body, his own mind, feelings, emotions. Everything. Just like you and I."

I summed up the equation in my head: Ryou + Bakura= two halves of a whole… Ryou + Bakura + Me= two halves of a whole plus a side dish… Two halves of a whole + a side dish= a three-way relationship…

"So you're telling me that if I officially dated you, then you and Bakura would have to… share me?!"

Ryou giggled. "It's not as bad as it sounds, really. Just think of Bakura as a part of me. I mean he is after all. Besides… he'll probably calm down after a while. It's been five thousand years since he's had any contact with an opposing gender."

"Are you telling me that you have a perverted yami?" I laughed, adding some humour.

"He's not really a pervert… he just gets a little overexcited. And since he's now living with me in a house with an extremely beautiful girl, of course he's going to start acting like he's on heat 24/7." Ryou laughed.

I rolled my eyes, knowing that if I gave myself to Bakura then he would stop acting so constantly "aroused". But I wanted Ryou… only Ryou… I wanted to give myself to him so he could know what it's like… the kisses, the foreplay, the gentle sex, and then finally, the wild, passionate sex. I knew I could blow him off the face of the earth with my experience. Malik and I never used to take things lightly in bed.

"Well… I might give Yugi a ring and see what he and Yami are up to today." I said, getting up and grabbing the phone, pressing speed-dial to Yugi's house.

"Hello?" it was Yugi's grandpa.

"Oh hello Mr. Mutou, is Yugi or Yami there?"

"Sure, I'll just put the line through to their room."

I waited for a few seconds and then the phone in Yugi's room came on. My eyes widened at what I was hearing - "OH YAMI! DON'T STOP!!! I'M GONNA… I'M GONNA!!!"

Before I could hear anymore, I quickly slammed the phone back down on the hook and shivered somewhat. Ryou raised an eyebrow at me.

"That was rude." He said.

"Huh?"

"Hanging up on Yugi like that."

I laughed. "Err… you would have done the same if you had heard what I just heard."

"Why what did you hear?"

"OH! OH YAMI! DON'T STOP!!!" I mocked Yugi's cries of pleasure, really getting into it.

A different type of smile cornered at Ryou's lips and he revealed a full row of his gleaming white teeth. "I take they have no plans for today then?"

"Guess not. I suppose I should ring Jou, I've still got his jacket."

"Good idea."

Again I picked up the phone and speed dialed to Jou's house. Serenity picked up.

"Hello?"

"Oh hey Serenity, Jou about?"

"No I'm afraid he stayed somewhere else last night."

"Oh… do you know where he is then?"

"Well… he said that if anybody rang then I shouldn't tell them where he is. Is it important?"

I frowned at Jou's message. Then suddenly deciding that it would be interesting to find out where he was I said, "Yeah it's pretty important, I gotta see him today and today only."

Serenity sighed a bit, not wanting to break her brother's vow. "Alright… he's at the Kaiba Mansion."
