Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Loop Hole of Love ❯ What a Pretty Couple ( Chapter 28 )

What a Pretty Couple

I walked slowly over to the small room, that Bakura had said was a bathroom. Now of couse I knew what one of those were, but it was so so different. The flooring was shiny, and in a tile pattern. The room was incrediably white and utterly immacualte for a chamber room. There wasn't a stench in the air.

I neared what Bakura told me was the "sink" and turned on the knobs to find that both cold and warm water came from it. Bakura had done a great job with my neckalce and now I could decipher the forgien symbols.

I stripped myself of my old clothing, carefully wrapping it in a small brown bag. I wanted to keep that, since I fully intended on going back someday to ancient Egypt.

I hopped into the bath that Bakura had prepared for me, and was at instant ease. The warm water was just what I needed.

Bakura had said this was "San Francisco", and we were staying at a hotel until e could clear matters up with the Monsters. Unlike some, I wasn't afraid of this strange new world in the slightest, I respected it but not feared it.

I had seen more horrors as a girl growing up in cruel Egypt than I care to count, and nothing I have seen yet has frightened me half as much. I would learn of this world and take in stride the adventures and trials that face me here.

I was idly reflecting on the strange puzzles of this land when I heard a knock at the door. i was taking a bath behind the curtain. I heard a voice then say:

"Anybody in here?"

Before I could say anything a door burst open and in walked the Pharaoh. I was so shocked I sat rigid and unmoving in the water as I heard a "ziiiip" sound.

I saw his silloutte behind the curtain, and I peeked around the cornor edge of the curtain to see what he was doing.

My eyes went wide, as I could do nothing more than stare at the thing that was lying in the Pharaoh's hand. I had seen it of course, but....Pharaoh was so well endowed...it was umm....hard not to watch.

He didn't do the usual thing you would in a chamber, or so I thought, as I blushed at the rapid hand movement of Pharaoh. He was groaning, and his knees where buckling as he exploded right into the "toilet". My mouth did a little "o", and I went rigid as he turned from where he was standing, to me.

By now my eyes where large enough to use as saucers. And I am sure I was a bright shade of red as he stared at me, as his mouth mirrored my "o". We just sat there for a few moments, basking in the glorious irony of it all, before I managed to close my mouth. I quickly slamed the curtain, and got up and I could see his shadowing watching ,me, watching him as I stood, behind the curtain, wrapped thje linen cloth around my body and stepping out, I rushed past him.

I was blushing furiously, as I jogged down the hall, in the all too small cloth, dripping wet. I had no idea where to go, except for Bakura's room, where I was currently, bunking.There where ajoining rooms, that where spacious, and I headed straight for Bakura's in hopes of him no being there.

Unfortunately, as I entered the room, I found him sitting there in his blue uniform, reading a novel of some sort entitled "Dead until Dark".

He looked up from the novel, and smiled slyly, his sharp teeth glistening in the light.

"What a wonderful surprise, I couldn't have asked for better if it was my birthday" he said, grinning, bending a page in the novel and setting it down to admire the view.

"Well it isn't as if I had a choice, not with damn Pharaoh in there, doing Ra knows what with his..." I stopped short and put a hand over my mouth, and resumed my all too familiar blush.

Bakura said nothing, only threw back his head and laughed and laughed. I stood there with the cloth wrapped around me, hands on hips, waiting for him to stop laughing.

He noticed my stance and quickly stiffled the last snort, before coming over to me, and leading me to his dresser, where he quickly picked out a blue "Tank top", and a pair of "Khakis". These where the names of the outfit he threw to me. I frowned at the clothing and, shifted my weight uncomfortably. I had no wrappings for my chest, or anywhere else, and I sure as hell did not want to ask the all too amused Bakura for some.

"Is Tea around here?" I asked.

I had met everyone in the "gang" and I found that some things had changed quite a bit indeed, including that Tea was not the jealous wench she was in Egypt. And right now,I needed a girl.

"She is across the hall, why?" Bakura asked, but by that time I had made a quick exit, and dashed across the hotel small hallway, and knocked on the door nervously, not wanting anybody to see me almost naked like this.

"Hello? Tea, it's me Avari, open the door please!" I hissed, and the door opened and a warm face and smile greeted me as I walked in.

"Avari, what are you doing like that?" she asked a troubled frown appearing between her eyebrows.

I sighed and swiftly told her the happenings...well except for the Yami part, I basically just told her what I needed. She still like Pharaoh I could see it in the very way she walked and talked, and hey who was I to be jealous? He was single right? As in not mine anymore.

She giggled as I related to her, and then she came back with a huge, baggy "sweatshirt" and some pants.

"Here go put these on, they should keep you from, uh, showing or anything, I am afraid, my bra size is not big enough for you, so we'll go down to the mall and find you a wardrobe okay?" she said brightly, and I smiled back.

I put the clothes on, without anything else, and when I was done, she smiled again, and we walked down to the "parking garage", where she said, duke would be waiting for us. I had no clue who "Duke" was, but she said, that he was the one with the transportation, so I just nodded and followed her.

He went down a flight of stairs and right before us was the weirdest contraption, that hummed and purred. Then I saw who was driving, and I quickly dropped my eyes.

He was tall, taller than me, with black, pony-tailed hair, and mesmerising green emerald eyes. He had on a red and black leather outfit that contoured to every inch of his leanly muscled body. Then I noticed the little set of dice on his ears and smiled at him.

He was watching me with a fasination that I didn't comprehend, as I walked up to him, and done as Bakura had instructed and put forth a hand, in a way of greeting. He took the hand with a devestatingly handsome smile, and his hand was firm and warm.

"I am Avari, you must be Duke" I said with a tilt of my head and a pearly smile.

I almost gagged as I realized I was flirting, but he was very handsome, I-I just couldn't help it, I was drawn to him in a most primal way, that I had never been to with any man. His dice where, one of my most favorite things about him.

"That would be me, and you, Tea didn't do you justice" he said, as he opened a door on the contraption, in obvious indication for me to get in.

"Me, hmm?" I said,looking at him oddly.

"Yes you" he laughed as my nose wrinkled in puzzlement. If I didn't know any better, I would say, he thought I was pretty. I felt warmth enter my cheeks.

"And what is that beautiful accent?" he asked with a puzzlement of his own.

"Uhhh, thats European!" Tea, blurted before I could say Egyptian. I nodded aggreenment, it was obvious she did not want to reveal my identity, so I just followed suit.

"Really, well, thats interesting...hmmm, say we should be getting to the mall huh?" He said with a cute little rub of his chin.

It was like I was a deaf/mute, I just stood there and nodded, trying not to openly gape.

"Avari, here, you can hop in the front seat with me" he said with a boyishly charming smile, as he held out a hand to me.

I looked to Tea who agreed, and I look his hand as he pulled me into the seat, and I sat shorter than arm's length from him.

I sat there as he began to ask the most politest of questions, which I gave dually polte answers to, and we drove for a while. I looked out the side of the "car", becuase Duke informed me it was a "convertible" car. I watched as buildings as tall as some pyramids in the Valley of the Kings, rose and fell with the scenery. Then we came to an enormous bridge, over the water, that was a bright orange.

"Thats the golden gate bridge, the pride of San Fran" Duke said as he caught me gawking. He smiled and pointed, and all the while he was talking about its history all I could do was sit there and be lured by his voice. He spoke so passionately about everything, and he made it interesting as well.

Finally we made it to what was called the "mall", it was a huge building with several people walking in and out, carrying bags, filled to the top with things I had never seen before. I didn't really look at them, in awe like I wanted, because Duke may find out I'm not really normal, so I watched carefully and said nothing as we entered the building.

The walls where high and people where found in abundancy, as we walked the line of shops. I laughed openly to myself because it was very much like our bizzares, except indoors. Tea, said something to Duke and I was sad to see him leave, but Tea explained males do not go into the shop that read with flowing letters "Victoria's Secret"

"What is Victoria's Secret Tea?" I asked honestly, and something I said made her laugh and reply with giddyness:

"I don't know but I wish she would tell me! Come on Avari lets get you some undies" she said braying with laughter as she dragged me in.

I walked in the store and was immediately shocked at the aparel, or lack of I should say. I stuck my hand into a rack of them, and came back with a red set of lacy underware, that didn't cover a thing. I told Tea that and she just laughed again.

"Avari, they aren't supposed to cover you a whole lot" She replied with a fit of giggles, as I shook my head.

"Oh here try these on!" Tea exclaimed, pushing me into a little room, and throwing some undergarments at me.

I looked at them strangely and took off my clothes as indicated and put the thin silk fabric on. It was a pair of dark royal purple, "thong" and bra set. I put it on and laughed at how weird I looked, but I did like the color and Tea said I needed at least a pair of them, so I took them back out to her and nodded. She jumped up ,and quickly led me over to another section where I picked out more bras, and a couple of "boxer cuts" that I liked very much.

We walked up to a woman behind a counter who I could only assume was a merchant, and Tea passed her some light green papers and the merchant put my apparel in a bag, that Tea handed to me which I carried.

We then proceeded through the bustling bizzare(sp), to a shop called "Macy's". I walked in and was greeted with mannaquins depicting the clothing they where selling and I found some very nice clothing indeed. I picked out a light blue "hoodie", a purple silky blouse, a few black "slacks", and some " blue denim". I also aqquired a few random shirts that where all colors. Finally, whe i thought we where done Tea pulled me over to a dress section and selected the most beautiful, lavender colored, dress, that had a "V cut", Tea called it. I liked it alot and put it on the counter, on which upon the merchant put it in a bag and Tea gave him a currency.

I quickly felt bad she was paying for all this and pulled out a gold coin I had had in my previos set of clothes.

"I can't take that! That belongs in a museum! No, no I don't mind paying, I have a loaded dad anyway" she said with wide eyes.

I did not understand half of what she said but I just nodded, and continued to feel bad she was paying for my things.

We walked out of that store and she pointed to a bathroom and gave me a complete set of clothing, to get dressed with. I entered the odd bathroom, and went into a little cubicle where I took off my baggy clothing and put on a pink form fitting shirt and some "Calvin jeans" I did not know who "Calvin" was, but he made the most exquisite pair of pants, that encased me nicely.

I came out of the bathroom and tea screamed a high pitched squeal as she saw me and I owndered if I looked that terrible.

"You look so hot!" Tea said doing ciclres around me.

"I am not hot, these are comfortable" I said looking at her strangeky and she laughed harder.

She shook her head with a sigh and a smile and pulled me in front of her, where she began digging in a bag of hers. She pulled out a brilliant lavender choker with a black obsidian jewel at the base and fastened in around my white neck. I smiled at her and thanked her.

We laughed together and as a group of young guys walked past I got what Tea called a "catcall" I shook my head and frowned at the idiocy of the whole concept that she explained to me. I though it rather rude if you asked me.

Then suddenly duke rounded the corner and his eyes got very wide and a sluggish smile spread his face as he mummbled something like

"I thought you where pretty in baggies"

I quirked my head again and continued in not understanding him. I smiled and he smiled back and all the while...Tea made approval sounds in her throat as she watched us.

"What a pretty couple"

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

hmm maybe this stems from my own personal fixation of Duke, but I seriously thinks he gets too little air time...anyways tune in next time when Yami and Bakura observe Avari's fascination with Duke and formualte a plot!
