Butterflies in My Stomach
==============================

Shika's POV…

Taree skipped over and took the covering off of the spa and put her towel aside. She tested the water and hopped in. "Come on guys! It's just the right temperature!"

The rest of us climbed into the spacious spa, fitting about eight people comfortably, ten cozily. Taree turned on the jets and the balmy water began to bubble.

"This is just what I need after a long day's work." Mai said, spreading her arms out along the back of the spa and tilting her head back, slouching down further in her seat.

We remained relatively hushed. The only sound being the bubbling of the spa jets and suckling sounds made by Taree and Anzu kissing. Miho soon spoke up. I guessed she was one not to tolerate awkwardness.

"Let's play truth or dare!" she chimed.

"That would be fun!" Shizuka replied.

More like interesting… I thought nervously to myself.

"Okay then… I chose… you, Shika." Miho said, pointing to me.

I went bug-eyed and swallowed hard. "M-m-me?" I stuttered.

"Yes, you. Truth or dare?"

Mai rolled her eyes. "Go easy on her Miho… for crying out loud." She said; the last part of her statement under her breath slightly.

"Uh… truth then, I guess." I replied cautiously.

"Okay then… do you own any sort kinky toy?" She growled seductively at me.

"Oooh Miho you're so naughty!" Taree giggled.

All my stomach muscles tensed. "Um… no…" I replied. What the hell does kinky mean?!

"Okay then. Your go, Shika." Miho replied in a completely different manner.

"Okay, Shizuka, truth or dare?" I asked.

"Truth."

I thought for a second. "What do you think about Jou going out with Kaiba?" A pretty lame save, but hey, it worked.

"Well I've always been so used to Jou having girlfriends so it's a bit of a weird surprise I guess…" she answered. "Mai, truth or dare?"

"I'll go dare, honey." She replied in her trademark classy manner.

"Okay… I dare you to get completely naked."

I reeled at what Shizuka had just said. Something like that coming out of a fourteen-year-old's mouth came as quite a shock. I had always known her to be Jou's innocent little sister. I wonder if he knew about this…

Mai didn't hesitate to strip down. She unstrung her bikini top and revealed her huge breasts which I swear to Ra had implants, and then she took off her bikini bottoms and discarded them to the side of the spa pool.

"Now, Taree, truth or dare?" she asked, not minding in the slightest to be sitting completely nude in the bubbling water.

"Dare."

"Alright then… I dare you to take off your bikini and start playing with yourself… so all of us can see."

I gaped. How could Mai ask such a thing? Wouldn't Taree be embarrassed? Suddenly I felt Mai's gaze upon me. She smiled at me. Then I felt her hand slip onto my thigh underneath the luke warm water. She winked at me and said, "It's okay Shika, just watch, and learn."

Taree got up on the side of the spa and removed her bikini - nothing I hadn't seen at least twice before. She got up and walked over to a nearby cupboard which also held the towels. To my horror, she returned with a light blue dildo about a foot long! I swallowed hard, how could she fit something that long inside of her?! Bakura was big enough…sheesh.

Taree started to tweak her nipples and rub her own clitoris. Her tanned expanse of skin covering her naked body was making Anzu and Miho drool at the very sight. Shizuka's eyes were fixed on her also. Mai seemed to be enjoying the show, but was concentrating more so on stroking my inner thigh. She moved closer to me as Taree started moaning.

"Feel free to join in, anyone…" Taree giggled in between a gasp and a moan.

Anzu didn't hesitate and started to suckle on one of Taree's hardened nipples. Miho settled herself between Taree's legs and flicked her clit, causing Taree to yelp both in pleasure and surprise. Shizuka moved to the other side of Taree and sucked on her other nipple. Taree moaned even louder.

Mai glanced my way slyly. "Do you like what you see, hon?" she said so quietly it was almost a whisper.

"Well… it sure is… um… err…"

"Weird?"

"Very."

"Remember you don't have to do anything you don't want to do." Mai reassured me.

Another loud moan escaped Taree as Miho started licking her wet flesh. Her legs were spread right open in front of Mai and me on the other side of the spa. Shizuka continued to lap at her left nipple as Anzu kissed Taree deeply on the lips; Miho sucking and licking on her sensitive areas.

"Would you like to join in…?" Mai asked encouragingly.

"Uh, um, I - no thanks." I stammered.

"If you like, we can do this in private. Just you and me." Mai suggested.

"Um… that would be better than this I guess." I said, referring to the sex show which was going on in front of me.

Miho grabbed hold of the blue dildo and inserted one end of it into Taree's moist pussy. Taree moaned and groaned as it was pushed in further. She began to slide down it. I gawked at how large it was. How far was it going to go?

"She can't possibly fit that inside her!" I whispered to Mai.

"Just watch. A dildo as big as that is usually used for two people at once."

"Huh?"

"Take a look and see."

I looked again to Taree. Shizuka had now taken off her bikini and had her legs entwined with Taree's. Each of the girls had one end of the dildo inside themselves. They were rocking and sliding down it and moaning. Miho and Anzu were suckling at each of the two girls' nipples. They started to rock into each other faster, and the moans got louder. I was mortified to say the least. I would have never imagined Shizuka to do such a thing as this.

Suddenly there was a loud crashing sound and the door burst open. In the doorway stood Taree's mother, and boy did she look angry! Taree and Shizuka removed the dildo from their pussies and jumped back into the spa as quickly as they could. We were all horrified and Taree even looked scared. I was trying to suppress my giggles.

"Taree Sakura Jomei! What in the Lord's name are you doing? You are forbidden to be in here and don't you know it!" she boomed.

"What are you doing home, Mom?! Aren't you meant to be in Kawasaki at the moment?!" Taree shrieked.

"Nevermind that! Who are all these?" she questioned, referring to the rest of the girls.

Taree introduced us to her mother who was boiling her own blood on the spot. She got even angrier and told us to get out of the spa and go upstairs. She asked Taree, however, to go with her. We could hear them arguing from upstairs in Taree's room.

"That was so embarrassing!" Anzu cried.

"Did she see anything…?" Miho asked, gazing down at the dildo which she was still holding.

"I sure hope not. Taree's parents don't know that we're together. They'd probably hit the roof if they found out." Anzu replied.

"Well what's say we forget about what just happened and snuggle down in bed? It's almost eleven o'clock you know." Mai suggested.

The rest of us agreed and got changed out of our wet bikinis. Just as I had gotten into my lemon-yellow pyjamas with yellow ducks on them, Taree burst in the door in floods of tears. Anzu instantly ran to her side.

"What happened, baby?" she asked.

"Mom has grounded me for a month!" she sobbed. "She saw everything! She's going to throw away all my toys!"

When she said `toys' I guessed she meant all her vibrators and dildos and things. Since Taree is currently a lesbian I kind of felt sorry for her. She wouldn't be getting any for a while unless Anzu had some toys of that kind too. I stretched and let out a huge yawn.

"Taree, where is your linen cupboard? I'm going to help Shika set up her bed. She's getting a bit tired." Mai asked.

"First cupboard on your right, down the hallway." Taree muttered, still being comforted by her girlfriend. Miho and Shizuka were currently standing hugging each other in their pyjamas.

Mai changed into a ridiculously short pink silk nightgown and put on a pair of pink bunny slippers. We slipped out into the hallway and gathered some blankets and pillows to put on our mattresses. I didn't have a problem sharing my mattress with Mai. She was a nice girl.

Soon we all got settled in. Miho was the first to fall asleep, followed by Shizuka. They were sharing a mattress together. Anzu and Taree were having a quiet chatter up on the bed and I lay on my side with the covers tucked right up under my chin next to Mai on our mattress. The dim light of the full silver moon outside shone through Taree's light pink drapes.

Mai opened her eyes and smiled at me and moved closer to me, resting her head on the junction of my shoulder and neck. Her silky blonde locks smelt like strawberries. Her pale skin glowed faintly in what little light filled the room. Half an hour passed by and I was still awake. I wasn't sure about Mai, but Miho, Shizuka, Taree and Anzu were out cold.

"Shika? You awake?" Mai asked quietly, still in her debonair tone.

"Mm hm. I thought you'd be asleep by now, Mai."

"I find it hard to sleep at other people's places." She lifted her head from my chest and returned it to the pillow. The moonlight gliding over her made her look even more beautiful than she already was.

"You have nothing to worry about, Mai. We should at least try and get some sleep." I replied.

"Well, before we do that, can I ask something?" she asked, her huge purple orbs sparkling at me.

"Yeah go for it."

"I want to kiss you before I go to sleep. Can I?" she propped herself up on one elbow, her golden locks falling over her shoulder.

I smiled a little. "Alright then."

We both sat up. My heart raced. This would be the first time I had ever done anything intimate with another girl before. Mai's arms slipped around my waist and she brought my arms around her shoulders. She leant in and pressed her lips against mine, slipping her tongue past my lips to allow entrance. My, how soft her lips were! It was incredible! I never knew anything so soft and so fleshy could feel so good. I guess this is what it is like for Ryou or Bakura when they kiss me.

Mai whimpered slightly and pulled me closer, deepening the kiss. We buried our arms in each other's hair and brushed our tongues against each other. Once satisfied, Mai pulled away. We both breathed deeply and smiled. For my first time doing that sort of thing, I quite enjoyed it.

"That was nice, Shika." Mai said afterward.

"Yeah. Goodnight Mai."

Mai rolled over and I lay on my back with one arm above my head. Shortly I slipped off to sleep and had another strange dream in the early hours of the morning…

********…Shika's Dream…********

The Pharaoh continued his assault on me. It was hard to resist his touch, although I felt like I was offending the entire nation. I kept reminding myself that he was the one that brought it on. Once he was satisfied, he pulled away, leaving me gasping both in shock and for breath.

"Pharaoh… wh-what are you d-doing?" I stammered.

"You are destined to be my wife, Lotus Shika."

Before my eyes was a panting, sweating Pharaoh. He moaned, I groaned. He thrust, I pushed. I exposed my neck and he sunk his teeth into it. Sweat dripped from his forehead onto my breast. He sucked it off. He ran his hands down the sides of my body and called my name, finally collapsing onto me with exhaustion.

*******…End…*******

"Oh!" I started awake. That dream was even worst than the last. I had to read more of the Book of the Dead. Either that or I had to go back to Isis. I wiped the sweat from my forehead and rolled over. Mai wasn't there. I walked to the balcony of Taree's bedroom and saw Mai leaning on the railing having a cigarette.

"What are you doing up, Mai?"

"I was about to ask you the same thing." She replied.

"I just had a bad - no, weird dream." I said.

"Too bad. Miho's snoring kept me awake. You got the time?"

I flicked my eyes down to my Hello Kitty wristwatch and pressed a button so the blue light came on. The time showed 6:37AM.

"It's about twenty to seven."

"You wanna start breakfast? I'm sure the girls would like it if we bought up some food. They need to beef up a bit, the whole lot of `em. They're walking stick figures." Mai laughed.

You can talk. "Sure but… what about Taree's parents?"

"Honey, I'm twenty-four, I know how to take care of parents."

You're HOW old?! "Y-you're twenty-f-four?"

Mai closed her eyes and folded her arms, smiling. "Yes, sweetie. Sorry, I should have told you earlier. Now let's go and see what's in the fridge downstairs."

I followed Mai downstairs to the kitchen. The house was quiet and cold, and still rather dark. Dawn was on its way, though. We went to the fridge and had a nosey. I pulled out a bowl of fruit salad and Mai got out some milk and rustled about trying to find some coffee.

"Would you look in the freezer and see if there's any ice-cream?" Mai asked, scrounging around inside the pantry with her butt sticking out.

"Why? Ice-cream in the morning will more than likely make us throw up."

"Just have a look. I want to make some iced-coffees." Mai replied.

I shrugged and opened the freezer. There was a two litre tub of vanilla ice cream. I took it out and placed it on the bench. Suddenly Shizuka and Miho came downstairs rubbing their eyes.

"What are you guys doing? We noticed you weren't in the bedroom." Miho asked groggily.

"We thought we'd make breakfast for you guys. Mai's making some iced-coffees." I said, speaking for Mai and myself.

"Ooh I like iced-coffee." Shizuka said, rubbing her hands together.

I found some bowls in the cupboard and poured some fruit salad into them. Mai finished off making our six iced-coffees and we returned to the bedroom. Anzu and Taree were awake and chatting in bed.

*******…With Ryou and Bakura…*******

"Yami? Are you awake?" Ryou asked quietly. Bakura was sleeping in his soulroom. Soon he appeared next to Ryou on the bed, levitating slightly in his spirit form.

"What is it, hikari?"

"Well… I've kind of been thinking about us."

"Who is `us'?"

"You and me… without Shika. H-how do you feel about me, Bakura?"

Bakura eyed his light half curiously. "What brought this on, Ryou? It's seven o'clock in the morning."

"I'm sorry… I woke up a while ago and couldn't stop thinking about it. Shika's away on that sleepover and I thought now would be a good time to talk."

"What is there to talk about?"

Ryou sighed a bit. "Well, remember that day when you kissed me?"

"…yes…"

"Do you still feel that way around me, yami?"

"Yes and no. I've devoted myself to our Lotus now, Ryou. Wouldn't things between us change if we…you know?"

"I talked to Shika the other day and she said it wouldn't change a thing, as long as we both still love her."

"I would never stop loving her, hikari. You know that. But I also love you."

Ryou sighed again and rolled over onto his side, facing Bakura. "I love you both, yami. I hope this three-way relationship will still work. Maybe we should all have a talk."

"It's probably wise to do so."

*******…Back with the girls…******

"Owww! Anzu! It hurts!" Taree wailed as she held her arm out, dripping with blood.

I rolled my eyes and put my head into my hand. How could Taree be so stupid as to put her hand in the blender and accidentally press the `on' button? Answer = she's blonde. At least the blender was on low. It didn't munch up her hands too much, though. She was still bleeding quite a bit though. I thought of Bakura and giggled. I hope he wasn't the one that caused this. He'd be rolling around on the floor not being able to breathe if he were here at the moment.

Around ten thirty I decided to pack up my things and leave. I said my goodbyes to everyone and walked home. Mai gave me her phone number and said we should hook up again some time. She wanted to take me shopping since I, in her opinion, had the best dress-sense out of everyone. She liked my tartan skirt and my old-skool sneakers that I wore. It was one of my favourite outfits.

I made my home and unlocked the door. Mom was out; she had probably stayed the night at Dr. Roes' house. Bakura was lying on the couch with one leg outstretched and the other one bent down with his foot touching the floor. He was tucking into a bag of potato chips watching TV. He glanced up at me and instantly jumped up, tackling me to the floor and kissing me all over. He growled low in his throat as he fixed his eyes on mine.

"Good morning to you too, Bakura." I laughed.

"It was lonely here without you." He purred and assaulted my neck again.

"Where are Ryou and Mom?"

Ryou randomly came stumbling down the stairs and looked down at Bakura and I in a pile on the floor. He giggled and set his hands on his hips.

"Afet stayed at her boyfriend's house last night." Ryou said.

I raised my eyebrows and grinned ironically. Bakura and I got to our feet.

"Um, Bakura, can I talk to Ryou for a minute? It's important."

Ryou and Bakura looked equally confused but Bakura left the room. I threw my bag to the side and sat down on the couch with Ryou.

"Is something wrong, love?" he asked, grasping my hands in his.

"Well… yes, sort of. I've been having strange dreams about my past… I don't know if they mean anything though. I think I should take another look at the Book of the Dead."

"What happens in these dreams?"

I suddenly felt very uneasy about telling Ryou what happened and broke into a sweat. "Well… uh… I um… I made love to Yami."

Ryou shot an odd look at me. "Bakura's not going to like that."

"I know… what am I supposed to do?! He said I was destined to be his… his wife!"

Ryou's look turned from confused to shock. "Let's get out the book of the dead. There's bound to be some answers in there."

Author's note: Hey Lady_Washu, I hope having Taree and Anzu walked in on and having Taree put her hand in a blender satisfied you. I'll see what else I can come up with.

Next chapter: Shika and Ryou make a shocking discovery when they read the Book of the Dead and talk to Isis. Shika has a talk with Ryou and Bakura about their relationship. Shika also decides to confront Yami and tell him about her dreams. What happens with Bakura finds out?
