Ch.34: Questions

 

~At the mall~

“Come on Bakura!” Kayra said over at one of the changing stalls.

 

“There's no way, in seven hells, am I going out looking like a complete fool!” Bakura said from the stall.

 

“You can't be that bad.” Alysia said sarcastically. “So get you ass out here!”

 

“Make me!” Bakura said.

 

`He shouldn't have said that.' Kayra thought as she watched Alysia bust the door down, with no hesitation, and dragged Bakura out.

 

“What the hell was that for!” Bakura yelled.

 

“You said to make you to get out here.” Kayra said. “And Alysia did the possible way to do so.”

 

Bakura cursed under his breath as he freed himself from Alysia's grasp.

 

“You don't look bad.” Kayra said as she looked over Bakura's outfit.

 

Bakura was wearing a plain formal white-buttoned shirt, casual black pants, and a dark brown leather coat.

 

“Not bad at all.” Alysia said as she walked over to him. “But you don't need to button the shirt all the way to your neck!” She unbuttons a few, which created a small `V'. “Better now.”

 

“I could breath.” Bakura said as he looked at himself from a full-length mirror. “It'll do, I guess.”

 

Kayra and Alysia rolled their eyes as Marik walked out.

 

“What's goin' on in here?” He asked. He was wearing a tight black sleeveless shirt, khaki pants, and a black bikers jacket.

 

“Nothing much. Just dragging Bakura's ass out of one of the dressing rooms.” Alysia said, which made him smirk.

 

“Shut up Marik!” Bakura warned.

 

“Wow Marik.” Kayra said. “I thought you might go so something… revealing, but I guess you do have a sane side.

 

Marik just shrugged and then Atemu came out looking around at the group.

 

“Wow! Look at you!” Alysia said looking over to him.

 

Atemu was wearing a long sleeved wine colored shirt that has a `V' neck, same leather pants, and a black vest.

 

“That is what I call formal.” Kayra said.

 

“I guess it's okay.” He said as he looked over at the mirror.

 

“Okay? You look great!” Alysia said. “But we might have to add a few things. I think I brought it with me.” She looked through her bag. “Ha! Found it!” She held up two golden clip-on earrings and a golden neck collar.

 

“Where did you those?” The trio, not counting Atemu, said as Alysia placed the earrings and the collar on him.

 

“Now what do you think?” She said as he looked at the mirror. “Well…” She tapped her foot while she waited for the answer.

 

“Not bad.” He said with a smile, which was good enough for her.

 

“Well, since you guys chosen your outfits.” Kayra said. “It's time for me and Alysia to find ours.”

 

“This is going to take all day.” Bakura mumbled.

 

Kayra and Alysia whacked him upside the head, which caused Marik to laugh his ass off, then he got the same treatment for thinking that he doesn't get hit.

 

“Men.” Kayra said as she and Alysia walked out of the store, after purchasing the guys outfits. “Now I know why I became a lesbian in the first place.”

 

“At least Moukaba, Ryou, Yugi, and Atemu are different than those two.” Alysia said as she looked back and saw Atemu talking to Bakura about keeping things to himself. “Speaking of Yugi and Atemu, what is their point in the relationship?” She asked Kayra.

 

“So far, I think, that Atemu is so dense, and yet he has feelings for him, but since he never experience love before, it's kinda hard for him to know that what his feelings toward Yugi is love.” Kayra said as she let out a sigh.

 

“So what can we do to help him realize?” Alysia asked.

 

“Well, obviously forcing him is not the best method.” Kayra said. “And I asked him one or two questions, but I guess that is like forcing.”

 

“Depends on what kind of question you asked him.” Alysia said.

 

“I think I have an idea.” Kayra said. “Would you like to help?”

 

“Just tell me the plan and I'll see what I can do.” Alysia said as Kayra whispered her plan.

 

~Couple minutes later~

“How about we go to this store?” Kayra said pointing at a store.

 

“Most of those clothes are retarded.” Alysia said. “Why not go over to that store?”

 

“What's the matter?” Atemu said as he and the other two approached the two girls.

 

“Well I would like to go to this store, but Alysia wants to go to that store.” Kayra said as she pointed out the stores.

 

“So which one are we going in?” Bakura said with a bit of annoyance in his tone.

 

“How about this…” Kayra said as she thought up an idea. “Bakura and Marik will come with me to this store, while Atemu can go with Alysia to that store.”

 

Everyone looked at her as she has been hit by something, but Alysia knew about her plan and played along.

 

“I think we should meet up in about an hour?” She continued.

 

Bakura and Marik shrugged and they started to go inside the store.

 

“Good luck with the she-devil.” Bakura whispered in Atemu's ear.

 

“I heard that!” Alysia said as she and Atemu went over to the store.

 

~5 minutes later~

Atemu sat down in one of the seats outside the changing rooms.

 

“So, Atemu…” Alysia started to say from one of the changing rooms. “I know I shouldn't barge in on your personal life, but what do you think your feelings are for Yugi?”

 

Atemu didn't respond for a while.

 

`I hope I asked the right question.' She thought as she waited for his response before going out of the small room.

 

When Atemu didn't respond, Alysia felt fed up.

 

`Ah, screw this!' She thought as she came out of the room, wearing a jean skirt, a white `V'neck, long sleeved top that has dark blue roses embroidered around the sleeves and the `V' part, and a silver colored belt.

 

She couldn't believe her eyes when she came out. Atemu was fast asleep even thought it looked like he was deep in thought by the way he crossed his arms across his chest.

 

`You've got to be kidding.' She thought with her eye twitching. She leaned towards his ear. “Atemu.” She said; he didn't respond. She poked his head until he let out a groan of annoyance. “Hey sleepyhead.” She said with a smirk.

 

“What do you want?” He said grogglely.

 

“Well, I asked you a question, which you still need to answer by the way.” She said. “And I come out here to see you doze off on me.”

 

“Sorry about that.” He said as he let out a yawn. “I didn't get enough sleep. So, what was your question?”

 

“What do you feel every time you're with Yugi?” She got to the point.

 

Atemu stared blankly at her.

 

“While you're thinking, I'll try on another outfit.” She said as she quickly went back into the stall.

 

Atemu watched as the door was closed. `What do you feel every time you're with Yugi?' The question continued to run though his mind. `What does she mean by that?' He thought as he closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat. `Why does everyone keep asking me about that! Just because I sort of overreacted about Marik's sick question and that I stumbled to answer some of their questions…' He paused on that thought when he remembered when everyone asked him a simple question. `Why did I stumble like that? I mean, I do flush when Yugi grabs hold of my hand or wrist, and feeling the soft, warm, skin while being dragged to where ever Yugi takes me. Also the fact that I enjoy the same warmth every night since I've been here, when he wraps his arms around my neck and feeling his soft skin on my neck while smelling the faint scent of lavender.' He remembered the feeling as he thought about it.

 

Then he thought about Yugi when he was wrapped around with a towel around his waist. `Why am I thinking about that all of a sudden!?' He thought as he flushed uncontrollably. `Gods, what is wrong with me? Why do I feel so out of place when he's not at my side? How come I suddenly feel tense when I see him? Why?'

 

At this moment, Alysia came out with a long, black skirt and a dark green wrapped top with sleeves that hung loosely down, making it look like she has wings.

 

“What the hell's wrong with you?” She said with a hint of concern.

 

“I… uh…well…” He said. `Crap!' He scratched his head.

 

She felt sorry for the extremely confused pharaoh, but she knew in order for him to realize his feelings, he has to suffer with the bottled up emotions he has. “Is it about Yugi.” She said, knowingly.

 

He nodded, not trusting his voice as she sat down.

 

“Want to talk about it?” She asked as he nodded again.

 

“Mind if I ask you a few questions?” She asked.

 

“Do they involve Yugi?” He asked as she nodded. “Go right ahead.”

 

“When I asked you that question, how did it make you feel?” She asked.

 

“Confused.” He said.

 

Alysia nodded as she made a mental note about this. “Could you tell me why you feel confused about this question?”

 

He deeply sighed as he thought about a logical answer. “I… I guess I feel confused is because I never really experience this feeling before, in all my years of being a ruler.”

 

“What kind of feeling?” She asked. `I'm getting good at this, if I keep this up, he would realize his feelings before the end of the day.'

 

“Completion,” He said with a far away look, “and… a sense of belonging…”

 

`Okay, I have him thinking deeply now. Next question would definitely be a brain rattler.' She thought. “If you know what feeling you have for Yugi, what would that feeling be?” She said.

 

That has got him thinking.

 

“I'm going to try on another outfit, alright?” She said, knowing that it's going to take some time. `No wonder he couldn't get a girl. Ah! He's better off with Yugi than any girl.' She thought as she went into the stall.

 

Atemu on the other hand, was racking his brain to answer the question, and to figure out once and for all why he's been acting this way. `Maybe, if I thought back to where I first met, no… when I first sensed him, maybe, just maybe…'

 

XXXXXXXXXX

Atemu's getting warmer on figuring it out, finally, and getting hotter by the second, not because of his looks, mind all of you. R&R please.
