Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Loop Hole of Love ❯ Bakura's Kiss, Tender Vows ( Chapter 32 )

Bakura's Kiss, Tender Vows

I was talking with Bakura nicely for about an hour now. I could never talk to Bakura too much it seemed. His words where laced with a poetic elegance that every other person I knew lacked. I desperately needed some poise and elegance in my barbaric and often times dangerous life. To tell the truth I liked refinement, and sophistication and Bakura satisfied all of those needs for me.

His words where like a fine honeyed wine, and they rolled of his tongue with a natural grace, that modern men lacked. I loved this about Bakura, and as I sat watching him intently, while his deep British accent lulled me into a trace, I thought…why haven't I noticed him before?

There is noticing and then there is noticing. Well I was sorely noticing, Bakura for the male he was, and not just a friend. I shook my head of the treacherous thoughts. It seemed as if I couldn't keep m y mind wandering to men in general lately. Many things had been weighing heavily on my mind and the thought of Dark Elf was the current topic.

"So why do you think it is you lost the connection, you say you can not even talk to her telepathically?" Bakura said, setting down his cup of Earl Grey tea, to listen intently to me.

I sighed and folded my hands in my lap, shifting uncomfortably.

"That is correct, I feel no Bond with her and I know not wither she dwells" I said and felt my eyebrows pull into a furrow.

"You will need her when we fight this unknown force that has unleashed the Monsters…" Bakura muttered silently.

"Yes I understand that Bakura" I said contritely. I was not upset at him per say, but at my lack of knowledge in this category.

His eyebrows lifted in surprise at my outburst and his chocolate eyes raised to mine and something…clicked.

To know what that something is, well you would have to have known a friend for a very long time before, you could understand. It seems as if I had know Bakura all my life, and indeed it had been a long time…I turned 26 today…

I started my journey when I was a little over eighteen and look where I have ended up…I wasn't exactly where I wanted to be at my age…

"I want to make that jaded look in your eyes fade Avari, I want it so badly" Bakura whispered, barley able to hear him, as his downcast eyes searched the carpet expectedly.

"Bakura, I have earned this jaded look, with my actions and the actions of those I have come to love, it is a part of me now" I said standing in front of him now.

"You where no more than a child when I bought you at that slave auction, it is my fault all my fault" he murmured, letting his hands drop dead in his lap.

I had never seen this side of Bakura before. He was being so honest and soft, I thought if I touched him he may break. But he did have a point, he was the one who had started this, and…I could not be sad he did.

"I have faced heart-break many a time over, and time and time again you Bakura, you have been the only stable constant in my life it seems, you don't change and I can always depend on you and your reaction…Bakura I could never ask more of you…" I whispered, and I turned my head so that I would not cry.

"I love you Avari…let me take your pain away, if only for a night, please" he said and when I looked up into those sinfully chocolate eyes, I saw there a hunger and a passion I had never before seen in a pair of so lovely eyes.

I did not know what to do. I have been loyal and trusting my whole life, I have cleaned others messes and it seems as if it has not been good enough…Not of the world, not for my loved ones…not for anybody.

Bakura thought I was just enough…. And for once I was not going to fight, I would not fight this. I wanted Bakura, in more than one way.

We both needed healing, I needed it he did as well, No I would not fight this. I wanted this and I would not feel guilty, about it.

"I want to be with you" he said suddenly and he rose to stand taller than me, with a hunger in his eyes that I was happy to see I caused.

He could not have been more plain spoken and for Bakura it was a miracle. I realized something then.

This was my life. This was no one else's I had to live my life, and yet I found myself living so much for everyone else.

It was time. It was time to live.

"Bakura" I whispered his name, my arms coming around his neck.

I pressed my body against his and then my lips against his own. It was tender and loving, and yet filled with a desire that both of us had never experienced before. The kiss became hungry and needy.

His hands gripped my lower back and I felt so small in his strong arms, so petite and delicate, a wonderful feeling I had never felt before, a delicious feeling.

"Please Bakura" I murmmered against his hot sensual lips, and I slipped my hands in his hair freeing it form the band.

It flowed around my like a silky cloud and I moved from his mouth to kiss his neck reverently. I placed small nips and kisses from his earlobe to his collarbone and I heard him groan.

He raised my head to his, with a finger under my chin and his brown doe eyes spoke volumes.

Don't hurt me. Be loyal to me. I will be yours. I will worship you just… Love me…Love me…

Right before I placed another tender kiss on his lips and forehead I made a vow to him, and to myself.

"I love you Bakura"
