Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Wake Me Up Inside ❯ Chapter 18

Amy sighed in frustration as she took a seat in Rei's car that day after school. The month of detention was over yesterday and she was relieved….yet…she wasn't.

"What is wrong?" Rei asked as she started her car and backed out of the parking spot.

"I don't know….something is just….bothering me."

"What?"

"That's just it. I have no idea."

"Hmm. Are you meeting Yami tonight? It is Friday after all right? Are you still confused over Bakura?"

"Shah! No way! The last episode with him was in the school where he deliberately got me all worked up when Yami was coming around the corner! I was so angry after that, that I just thought…to hell with paying him back, just ignore him!" Amy replied, crossing her arms and looking out the window as they drove out of the school parking lot.

"Alright, alright! So you don't like him anymore?"

"I never did. It was just lust." The red headed girl stated firmly.

"Right…that's all it was. You sure?" Rei asked with a faint smile.

To be honest Amy wasn't sure at all. Her chest seemed to hurt the entire time she ignored Bakura after school everyday in the art rooms….



~Flash Back~

"What's up your ass? Still mad about me working you up yesterday when your boy-toy was coming?" Bakura asked.

"Just leave me alone, will ya?" Amy grumbled.

Bakura frowned and stared at her. He didn't speak to her again throughout the rest of their detention that day.

Amy was thankful. She was confused…and a little mad. But mostly confused.

As their detention ended for that day Amy cast a glance in Bakura's direction. He looked sort of sad and angry at the same time. But she decided to ignore it by heading out the door as quickly as possible, not wanting to ride with him.

1 Week Later

"Still not going to talk to me, huh?" Bakura asked as he cornered Amy that afternoon in their second art room.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I talk to you." Amy grumbled.

"Right. You talk to me when you need to. You don't say a word any other time." Bakura growled.

"I didn't know that it was a must to speak to you every second of the damned day!"

"I didn't say that! Why are you acting like some bitch from hell?!"

"Why are you such an asshole!? Just leave me alone! I want to get out of here sometime today!" Amy snapped in frustration.

"You want me to leave you alone?" Bakura asked in a darkly quiet voice. "Fine. I leave you alone."

That was the last he had actually spoke to her for the rest of their month's detention. In fact, he didn't' speak to her at all. Period.

~End Of Flash Back~



And god did it hurt that he wouldn't talk to her or even look at her. She didn't expect to, but she seriously missed their bickering. And god help her, she missed his touch.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Rei asked.

"SO how is it coming with Malik?" Amy asked, changing the subject.

A hurtful look crossed Rei's face as she was reminded of the sandy blonde haired god who had crushed her heart into a billion pieces.

Amy suddenly felt bad over reminding her of him now. Not like she didn't constantly think about Malik anyway…but to have to talk about it.

"He's stopped trying to talk to me…" Rei mumbled.

"Oh…" Amy said, looking down at her lap. "….That's a good thing….isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is." Her raven haired friend sighed.

There was silence until they pulled into Amy's driveway.

"Give me a call and let me know what you're doing tonight. Duke was saying something about getting together for a barbeque and then swimming." Rei informed her.

"Alright. Yami was talking about me and him spending some `quality' time together….what ever that's suppose to mean. I spend a lot of time with him, what more does he want?"

Rei got a somewhat uneasy look upon her face. `The two of you have been together for like a month….you know what he's after."

"What?" Amy asked in confusion.

"Amy! Don't' be dense. He wants to sleep with you." Rei sighed in annoyance.

Amy made some sort of a disgusted face before getting out of the car. She REALLY didn't want to sleep with Yami.

`Then why are you with him, fool?' An inner voice snapped.

Amy shook her head as if to clear her thoughts and said good-bye to her friend before going into her house.

Bakura walked into the liquor store and headed towards the back to grab a case of 24 of Budweiser beer. He inwardly cursed. Ever since he had stopped talking to that red-headed wench he'd been filling himself up constantly with beer. At this rate he was going to lose the six-pack stomach he had worked damned hard to get and become fat! Which was a massive no, no. Damn little wench.

"Hey Bakura! What's up?"

Bakura turned towards the voice and found Yami standing near the cash with a bottle of Vodka settled under his right arm.

"Not much, just grabbing a case of 24." He replied.

"Cool. Getting trashed tonight huh? Yeah, I plan on doing the same. Hopefully Amy will join in on it." Yami smirked, winking.

Bakura frowned. He knew damned well that Amy had never had been drunk before in her life.

"Why would you want her to join in?" Bakura asked.

"Why not? It could serve to be interesting…besides…" His tri-colored friend trailed off.

"Besides…?"

"I'm hoping it will give her the courage to move further with me…maybe even all the way." Yami smirked.

He didn't mean what it sounded like…did he? "All the way?"

"Yeah…sex? I'm sure you recognize the term Bakura!" Yami laughed.

Bakura smiled faintly. "Yeah, of course I do. I wouldn't have the reputation that I do without it."

"Exactly. We haven't done it yet and I think I've held off long enough." Yami continued.

"Really."

Yami nodded before stepping up to pay for the Vodka. "Talk to you later bud."

"Yeah."

Bakura frowned all the way to the back of the liquor store and picked up the case of 24 that he had dropped in to get. He was beginning to have second thoughts about drinking and was deciding that crashing a little party sounded like a much better idea. If that was the way that Yami was going to work with Amy then he'd be damned if he was going to allow her to stay going out with a chump like him.

Bakura knew that Yami was a womanizer but he didn't realize that he would go to that extreme to get laid. In his mind that was too twisted. He once heard a story about his tri-colored haired friend have some sort of a relation with Date Rape but no one had proof and so the rumor stopped. But now he was beginning to wonder a little.

Yami has known Amy nearly as long as Bakura and Malik. And he would go that far to sleep with someone he grew up with? God knows what he would do to someone he just met and had no feelings for.

Rei thanked Duke for the barbeque and swim before she climbed into her car and drove home.

IT felt good to be able to enjoy her times out again. Before she had just closed up and couldn't seem to enjoy anything.

Rei frowned as she found both her parent's vehicles gone but the front door was open.

She drove slowly into her drive and cautiously got out of her car. What was going on? Were they being robbed? Did she even want to go up to her house?

She threw caution to the wind, deciding that it was her house and she would be damned if she was going to let some punk break in.

She looked at the front door, noticing the fact that everything was in perfect shape, no sign of a struggle with it to break in.

Odd.

She cautiously stepped into her house and listened for any sounds. Her heart began to pound as she heard movement in the kitchen.

God, there was someone in here! Rei looked around her living room for some sort of protection.

She immediately spotted the hall straw broom and decided that that seemed like the perfect weapon that she could find.

Why did the intruder have to be in the kitchen?! Make her life more difficult why don't they by being in the room with all the knives!

She crept slowly towards the kitchen, tightening her towel more securely around her waist. Her grip on the broom became more firm as the kitchen doorway was now only inches away.

Suddenly someone stepped out in front of her! Rei screamed loudly before bringing the broom down on top of his head. She continued to whack the crap right out of him until her broomstick broke.

Then she screamed again as the person groaned and reached out from the floor to grab her leg. She kicked his hand away and was about to run out of there when he shouted.

"AIYANAMEI! WHAT THE FUCK?!"

Rei blinked. Not once, but twice before slowly turning around. She peered closely at the person sprawled on the floor, finally taking in the sandy blonde hair and the lavendar eyes.

"Malik?" She asked.

"Yeah, who the fuck did you think it was?!" He groaned in agony, clutching his head. "You could have broken my nose again!"

She knelt down slowly beside him, looking at him with worry. "I'm so sorry! I thought that you were a robber or something!"

"And so you decided to come into the house anyway?! What's the matter with you?! You could have been hurt or worse! Killed!" Malik snapped as he allowed her to help him to his feet.

"I-I wasn't thinking clearly I guess…" Rei mumbled. She came back to her senses and glared at him. "What are you doing in my house anyway?"

"Waiting for you."

"Why?"

"Because I wanna talk to you."

"About?"

"Rei, just please take a seat and hear me out."

Rei groaned loudly before flinging her hands up in the air and stalking out of the hall and into her bedroom.

Malik followed and stood in her doorway. "I didn't know how else to make you listen besides getting you alone here at your house."

"What makes you think that I'm going to listen to you?"

"Because you care about me?"

Rei snort before trying to close her bedroom door. "Why would I care for a dog like you?! You grew up with me, teased me, fucked me, then left me! What is there to care for in someone like you?!"

A pained expression entered Malik's eyes before blocking it and glaring back at her. "You knew my reputation! You know that I was a playboy but instead of heeding that you decided to go ahead and fall into it! You got burned! DO you honestly think that you're the only person that that has ever happened to?!

"No…but-"

"But what?! I made a fucking mistake! I tried to tell myself that I had no feelings for you! That it was just lust and to try and prove my point I went out with whatever her name is! And look where it got me?!"
"Whatever! You slept with her and threw her away just like every other girl! I saw the look on her face the next time I seen her! She was clearly upset-"
"IF SHE WAS UPSET THEN IT WAS BECAUSE I WOULDN'T SLEEP WITH HER!!" Malik yelled.

Rei blinked. "What did you say?"

"I said that I didn't sleep with her. I told her to get out when I realized that what I was doing was wrong."

"Why would you think that it was wrong?" Rei knew what he was about to say to that but she just had to hear it anyway. She needed to hear him say it.

"Because I have feelings for you…" He spoke quietly. "When I saw your face that day, seeing the horror written all over it, I knew that everything I had done was a mistake. That it wasn't her that I wanted. That it wasn't sex that I wanted from you. I had feelings for you all this time and the realization of it had hit me that day. It wasn't lust…it was real feelings, something that I hadn't felt in a long time."

Lavendar stared into raspberry as he waited for her to say something.

What could she say? Was he expecting her to say that it was all right and that he was forgiven? Was she supposed to start crying and admit all her feelings? Was she just supposed to forget what she saw that day? Forget how her world just fell apart all around her? No. She didn't think so.

"Get out Malik." Rei said dully.

"Rei wait-"

"I have nothing left to say or hear from you. Get out and never speak to me again." She could feel the sting of tears building up behind her eyes. She didn't really want to say these things to him but for some reason it felt that it was the right thing to do. She had been stupid to believe that she could ever have someone like him.

She managed to shut and lock her door in his face and walked over to her closet where she began to strip out of her wet bikini.

"REI OPEN THE DOOR! PLEASE!" Malik yelled through the door, banging on it.

When she didn't reply the banging became more persistent.

"REI PLEASE!!"

She got dressed and continued to ignore him as she logged onto her computer. As she sat down, the tears that had stung her eyes had finally come forth and spilled over her cheeks.

"REI! PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR!! PLEASE!" Malik choked out that last shout and Rei frowned as she heard him slide down the door to the floor, still banging on the door. "PLEASE!!"

More tears gathered as she heard the pleading wail in his voice. Was he crying? It kind of sounded like it…

Rei shook her head and decided that ignoring him was the best bet. He would probably go away in a minute.

But the banging and wailing continued until she hardly take it anymore and was about to storm to the door when she froze in shock.

"REI!! PLEASE….I LOVE YOU!!"

Rei's breathing even froze as his words shocked her right to the core. Was he lying? Was he only saying that to get her to open the door?

She began to tremble as she forced herself to move as she unlocked her door and pulled it open.

Malik nearly fell into the room but caught himself and just stared at the floor, hiding his face from her.

"What did you say?"

When he refused to answer she became annoyed and sighed in frustration.

"If you didn't mean then just say so. I'm tired of these games!"

Malik slowly looked up at her and her eyes widened in surprise and shock to see the tears that were leaking out of his eyes.

"I've never wanted anyone as much as I want you….I love you and I would NEVER just say that to anyone. I made a mistake and I'm paying for that….but PLEASE don't shut me away! PLEASE!"

Rei crumbled to her knees and stared at him with wide eyes. The boy that she had been in love with for years was confessing his own love for her on her floor with tears! Was this a dream?

"Please give me another chance…" He pleaded, moving himself closer to her, pushing her raven hair away from her face. "Please…" He whispered before claiming her lips.

Rei sighed in bliss as she felt as if she was beginning to glow. Her arms wrapped themselves around Malik's neck pulling him even closer.

"I love you…" She whispered against his lips.

"Did you put some of that crap in my drink?" Amy asked as she made a face after she took a sip of her fruit drink.

"No, you said that you didn't want any so I haven't put any in? Why?"

"Because…I feel a bit funny." Amy replied.

They had returned after a movie to Yami's place and he immediately went into the kitchen get them some drinks, telling her to make herself comfortable.

He had asked after a minute if she would like an alcoholic drink but she refused that. She wasn't much for alcohol. It tasted rather gross.

Amy was on her third glass of fruit juice and was really beginning to feel strange…she felt…giddy…flirty…she felt like she was everything except scared.

She didn't know if this was a good thing or not.

She suddenly giggled and looked at Yami who raised an eyebrow and smiled. "What's funny?"

"I don't know…nothing?" She giggled again.

Was she really giggling? Amy Rose does not giggle!

Yami rose from his seat in the chair and took a seat next to her on the couch. "Can I have a kiss?" He asked with a cute smile.

Amy thought for a second before nodding. She leaned over and kissed him soundly before pulling away again.

"Is that the only kind of kiss you're willing to give me?" he asked with a pout.

"What kind of a kiss would you like?" Amy giggled.

"How about a deep one…a hot one…and erotic one?" He asked with a sly smile, inching closer to her.

Amy shrugged. Even in the strange state that she was in, she didn't particularly WANT to have that kind of a kiss. Only one person came to mind at the words deep, hot and erotic. And his name was Bakura Ryou. That boy turned her on in seconds. Yami still hasn't reached that step.

"Come on Amy…" Yami pouted before claiming her lips, immediately penetrating her mouth with his tongue.

Instead of feeling any sort of tingling all Amy felt was disgust. "No…"

Yami pulled back. "No? Why not? Fuck, we've been together long enough and you won't even let me touch you!"

"I don't want it." She replied in a huff.

"But I want it." Yami snapped.

He grabbed her arm and forced her to turn back around to face him. He crushed her mouth with his own and penetrated her mouth once more. He soon found himself screaming in pain as she clamped her teeth down onto his tongue.

He shoved her away from him, tasting the metallic tint of blood in his mouth.

"YOU NEARLY BIT MY FUCKING TONGUE OFF!!" He yelled.

"Serves you right! I said no and you wouldn't listen. I'm leaving now." Amy huffed in annoyance, wiping her mouth.

"BITCH! GET BACK HERE!" He yelled, grabbing her arm and hurling her onto the floor.

He pinned her body down and cackled softly. "I guess I get what I want here and now huh? Now if you be good and play nice then it won't hurt all that much…"
