Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Wake Me Up Inside ❯ Chapter 16
'"Like hell I do!" Amy snapped as she pushed Bakura away from her. "If you've forgotten there lover boy YOU were the one who kissed me in the first place so maybe it's YOU who wants to do it again, hmmmm?"
'Bakura gaped at her for a split second before turning away from her. "Keep dreaming. Why would I ever want to kiss you again?"
'"Maybe because you liked it and were hoping that I felt the same way." Amy smirked.
'"Do you?"
'Now THAT surprised her. Amy was expecting Bakura to become angry and yell something at her and storm away but instead he did exactly what she thought he wouldn't do!
'She fumbled as she tried to force out a `hell no!' but found that no words would come. What was wrong with her? She should be able to say two simple words right?
'Bakura turned around and watched her wearily. "You still haven't answered my question."
'"I know!" She snapped in frustration.
'She gaped at how easily those words came out of her mouth and tried once again to force out the last two she was thinking of. But once again was having no luck.
'Bakura narrowed his eyes at her and was suddenly there, in front of her once more pressing his body to hers.
'"You do feel the same.." He trailed as he studied her features.
'"No." She squeaked.
'A smirk played across Bakura's mouth. "Oh I think you do."
'Suddenly Amy didn't feel so unsure as she stared back into Bakura's chocolate eyes. "What if I do? What do you plan on doing about it?"
'Bakura's already dark eyes seemed to darken further as his head dipped slightly towards her. "Do you really wanna find out?"
'"Yes, yes I do."
Amy's eyes drifted shut as she felt Bakura's lips brush her own.
'But she was brought back to reality when a nagging little voice inside her head reminded her of whom she was kissing.
'She pushed Bakura away and glared at him. " On second thought, I don't wanna find out."
'She went to walk away but Bakura growled and yanked her back in place.
'"Let go." Amy snapped.
'"No."
'"I don't feel like playing games with you right now. I'd rather just go bother everyone about when supper is ready."
'"And I don't give a damn! I've waited too long for this." Bakura snarled as his mouth crashed down on hers in a demanding kiss.
'Amy's gasp was smothered and she suddenly couldn't fight him anymore. Hell, she didn't even realize she was fighting him in the first place!

' Rei slowly rocked back and forth, not noticing as a car pulled up the long drive and stopped.
'Someone got out of the vehicle slowly. "Rei?"
'She didn't hear Duke's voice as he slowly walked over to her.
'"Rei? What happened?"
'She felt someone gather her up and lift her from the ground. They unlocked the front door and went inside.
'"Duke?" She croaked.
'"I'm here….who did this to you?" He asked softly as he set her down in one of the island counter stools in the kitchen and wiped her steady tears away. "Tell me what happened."
'"Malik-" She choked as another forceful sob escaped her throat.
'Duke frowned. "What did he do?"
'Rei painfully relived what happened between her and Malik to Duke as he held her and stroked her hair.
'She felt him stiffen when she told him about what happened on Malik's pool deck and then heard him growl under his breath when she told him about the other girl, Cindy.
'"Baby, why did you let him…you know he's a player." Duke sighed.
'"I know…! But I thought I was different….I thought he cared about me…! God I don't even know why I thought that! I can't believe I let him do this to me! I can't believe I was so stupid!"
'"You aren't stupid. You couldn't resist him….everyone knows how much he means to you. Even Bakura does, but Malik is beyond thick headed and just hasn't got it."
'"I hate him…" Rei suddenly whispered.
'"I about feel the same at the moment." Duke muttered.
Rei buried her face in Duke's chest and let the tears go once again.
Duke held her whispering soothing words as they rocked slowly back and forth.
'"I need to go home." Rei sniffed a few minutes later.
'"Are you sure? Do you want me to drive you?" Duke asked, his voice full of concern.
'She shook her head no and slid off the stool. "I'm fine now. I feel much better."
Duke just nodded and walked her to the door. "If you need anything you know that you can call me or Amy."
Rei nodded and leaned up and kissed him on the cheek before disappearing out the door.

' Amy groaned softly as she buried her fingers in Bakura's spikey white hair, pulling him closer. He slowly drew his mouth away from hers and grasped her bottom lip lightly between his teeth.
'"I want you…" He muttered before nibbling hungrily down her neck to the hollow of her throat and placing a kiss there. "Please say you want me too…"
'"I-"
'The ringing of a cell phone cut her off.
'Amy blinked and watched as Bakura sighed and yanked his cell off his belt and snapped it open. "What?!"
'There was a pause and Amy watched the impatient, angry look wash away from his features to be replaced by a frown. He turned his gaze to her and locked eyes.
'"It's Aiyanamei."
'Amy blinked not once, but twice. She took the phone from him and placed it to her ear. "Rei? Is something wrong?"
'"Yes…can you come over…now?" Her best friend whispered brokenly.
'Worry formed inside Amy as she listened to her. What had happened? Then her eyes widened in horror. She discovered Malik with that other girl…
'"It has to do with Malik and that girl, huh?" Amy asked.
'"……how do you know that?" Rei asked hesitantly.
'"I…I saw him with her after school." Amy sighed.
'There was a long pause before Rei spoke again. "And you couldn't tell me?"
'Amy didn't know what to say over this. Rei was right. Why didn't she tell her?
'"In all honesty, what difference would it had made if I told you before hand? You would have wanted to see for yourself."
'Rei sighed. "Yeah, you're right. Can you come over now?"
'"Yeah, I'll be there in a few ok? You're gonna have to give me time to walk."
'"Ok. Bye."
'Amy hung up and handed Bakura's phone back to him and smiled weakly at him before going down to the kitchen.
'"Mom, I need to skip dinner and go see Rei. Something's wrong and she needs me."
'"Alright dear." Her mother said.
'Amy went to the front door, put her shoes on and walked out.
'She stopped in surprise when she found Bakura sitting upon his bike, waiting for her.
'"You're gonna give me a ride?"
'"Do you honestly think that I'm gonna let you walk by yourself? I remember what happened the last time that happened." Bakura muttered, handing the spare helmet to her.
'Amy bit her lip. Bakura cared about her? He must. He had a slight blush upon his cheeks and he refused to look at her.
'Before he could put his helmet on she leaned down and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and whispered thank you.
'Bakura jerked a nod and cleared his throat, which made Amy giggle slightly. He was embarrassed and shy! This was something she had never seen before.
'
' Amy was growling under her breath. Basically. She was breathing fire. What an asshole. Malik didn't deserve anything as far as she was concerned! How dared he?! What makes him think that he could treat her best friend that way?!
'She knew he was slime but she didn't realize that he was that much slime! I mean...how can you sleep with someone you grew up with…and they have feelings for you…and then just dump them on the side like yesterdays trash?! That is beyond cruel and to Amy, also meant punishment was an issue.
'She was going to find that retard if it meant skipping classes and searching every inch of the damned scho-
'Amy's thoughts came to a halt and her eyebrows shot up in surprise. Was she really seeing this? Or was this a cruel trick?
'There, kind of hidden in a corner was Kaiba and….Serenity Wheeler! They were kissing…I mean REALLY kissing as in they looked like air wasn't even thought of!
'Now, she was going to tell Rei about it but she didn't think Rei would care much anyway. She did sleep with Malik after all.

' Malik was deep in thought when suddenly he was slammed up against a locker.
'He grimaced in pain as his head made contact with the locker and glared angrily at whoever dared to even touch him.
'He blinked. Twice. What the fuck?! Was all he could think as he stared at Duke. Why was his friend slamming him into things and looking at him like he was on death row??
'"What the fuck man! Hello to you too!" Malik snapped as he gripped Duke's hands and flung them off of his body.
'"There is no hello where we're concerned." Duke stated in an angry voice.
'Malik frowned. What the hell was going on now?! He had enough problems! He couldn't get Rei off of his mind and each time he thought of her he remembered the horror on her face when she had seen him with that girl….whatever her name was…on his lap undressing him. It was torturing him and he just wished it would go away. He just wished that he wasn't pining after Rei anymore. He wanted her to leave him be…but it didn't look like that was going to happen.
'"What the fuck is your problem, man?!" Malik snapped, finally getting fed up with the way Duke was eyeing him.
'"You are Ishtar! You have some explaining to do!" Duke snapped back, grabbing a hold of Malik's blue vest in a tight fist.
'Malik was totally confused until realization dawned on him. Rei. That's what this was about.
'"You know don't you?" Malik sighed.
'Duke `humphed' and that was all. Malik had the feeling that he had just lost a friend over this and wasn't at all anymore pleased with himself then before.
'"I knew you were an asshole when it came to women but I didn't know you were THIS much of one!" Duke suddenly growled, inching closer.
'Malik frowned. Fuck, was Duke going to kick the shit out of him or what? It was really looking that way.
'"Look, man, she wanted it as much as I did so just stay out of it." Malik glared.
Duke's eye twitched slightly and a low growl could be heard coming from him. Then without a warning of any kind his fist flew forward and connected with Malik's left cheek.
'"Fuck!" Malik cried as he shoved Duke viciously away from him and held his face in pain.
'Damn that guy was able to pack a mean punch! Was all Malik could think as his cheek throbbed hardcore.
'"Enough Duke." Someone commanded.
'Malik looked towards the voice and sighed in relief when he spotted his best friend Bakura.
'"You know what he did! He fucking deserves it!" Duke practically yelled.
'"It doesn't matter. It's not really your business." Bakura stated.
'Before Duke could answer all that was heard was a yell as someone literally dove through them, landing right on top of Malik!
'Malik grimaced in pain as he heard a sickening crack as his tailbone hit the cement floor. Then cried out as a fist connected with his nose!
'
~)(~)(~)(~)(~)(~)(~)(~)(~)(~)(~)(~
'
'Rei froze at what she just saw. Amy had dove through the two boys and tackled Malik to the floor! Then punched him!
'She wasn't really shocked at what she was witnessing, but she was surprised to see that Bakura was standing by and watching Amy pound his best friend!
'But as much as she would love to say that she hated Malik, she still cared deeply for him and couldn't watch this anymore.
'She ran up to the four people and burst through Duke and Bakura.
'"Amy! Stop it! Please!" She cried as she tried to pull her friend off of Malik. When that failed she turned to Bakura and Duke and gave them a pleading look.
'Bakura moved forward then and yanked Amy off of his friend.
'Rei watched as Amy crashed into Bakura's chest and then grasped his shirt to prevent herself from falling. Amy scowled at him before turning to look at her.
'"Hey, how are you?" She asked as she moved away from Bakura to give her a hug.
'"I'm fine. But could you refrain from killing him please?" Rei asked.
'"Why?" Amy scowled.
'"Because he needs to live too." Rei replied.
'"No he doesn't." Amy stated, then `humphed' and crossed her arms over her chest and glared in Malik's direction.
'Rei didn't even bother looking. She didn't want to be reminded of what he had done to her. She just wanted to move on and get as far away from him as possible.
'"Come on. Let's get our things and get to class, alright?"
'"Fine." Amy sighed and looped her arm with Rei's as they started down the hall.
'"Uh, Aiyanamei?" Amy said uncertainly.
'"What?" Rei asked.
'"About Kaiba…"
'"God! I forgot about him! Oh, Amy! What the hell am I gonna do?!"
'"Rei…I don't think it really quite matters." Amy said.
'"Why?"
'"Because….well…I saw him and Serenity Wheeler making out a few minutes ago." Amy replied while toying with a strand of her hair.
'Rei blinked and then her eyes widened into large saucers. "For real?"
'"Yup."
'"Oh…well….I think this will be easier then I thought." Rei sighed. Then she brightened. "You know…that is definitely a burden that has totally disappeared! This is great! I only have one issue now and I just need to erase him from my memory!"
'"Well, actually…I'm gonna burden you with another…" Amy stated.
'"What now?" Rei groaned. "Can I get no peace?!"
'"No." Amy stated stubbornly.
'"Alright, shoot."
'"Well…there's this guy with white spikey hair, he and I were making out yesterday before I came over…." Amy started.
