*~*~*

It's been a long three months, hasn't it? I'm extremely sorry for the lack of updates in this story. I do hope some people are still interested in reading this. Due to popular demand, I've done Bakura/Ryou this round, and I've also decided on the piercing I'm going to do for both of them. Ryou's is fairly obvious. Bakura's .. well, since there were A LOT of decisions on them, I finally made a pick, which I hope is to your liking. I have notes in the bottom of this chapter that you should read following the story. Please R/R.

Thank you to everyone who reviewed for this fic. I really don't know what else to say. I'm completely in awe with the reviews I've recieved, and I'm greatful for the love (and the death threats! x.x) I've gotten. I'll get around to thanking you all once I am able to. But instead of hearing my rambles, go on and read this fic! This time, it's Bakura/Ryou! Enjoy!

Italicized Words ~ Thoughts/Stresses

*~*~*
      

             Bakura shuffled his feet quite awkwardly as he dragged along a begging-near-to-crying Ryou who was clinging to his leg. The other had been asking incessantly to go to the piercing shop the week following Jounouchi's own piercing incident. Trying to be patient to his koibito, Bakura told him that piercings were very painful. However, Ryou countered with how the pain would be worth it with the aftermath. Inwardly, the darker of the two truly wondered how such a mutt could smile nonstop for days on end with something pinching his nipple like that. The blonde's so-called enemy, Kaiba Seto (Bakura knew they were lovers. Heh, he could blackmail the both of them.), was also seeing very bright days. The brunette hadn't fired anyone from his company yet, and had managed to freak out many people with his tongue piercing. Who would think that a corporate executive officer would go and pierce his tongue? Nobody. Not even Bakura himself.

             "Bakura-kun, pllleeeaaaassseeee?"

             "For the last time, Ryou, no! It's a painful procedu--"

             "You like pain." Ryou countered angrily, finally unclinging to the other so he could dust his shirt off and put his hands on his hips. His lower lip stuck out, giving the light a very pouty expression. Crimson-tinted shades of chocolate blinked a few times before he looked away, refusing to give in to that look. Ryou had him there; he adored pain, even going so far as to pierce his own skin to feel the pain and watch the warm sticky substance slide down his flesh. Bakura was sure he could take the pain and have a blast. However, his hikari was a different story. He did have experiences with pain, but Bakura was sure that the other disliked the feeling.

             "But you don't." Bakura returned simply, rounding on the other. That was a stupid move. The devil-spiked spirit would get a face full of the `Ryou Look™` which would immobilize the other for a good moment. Ryou took this to his advantage, running up and clinging to the other while brushing a gentle kiss upon Bakura's lips. Bakura's eyes widened as he felt the warmth softness of the other's, almost melting to the touch. He closed his eyes for a moment to savor the sweetness of Ryou's mouth. As Ryou pulled back, Bakura found himself gasping for breath. He knew his light was up to no good as Ryou winked as him.

             "There could be mif wif we added a little something to the mix." Ryou whispered between breaths in a sly tone. I knew it. Bakura thought as he covered his face with one hand. He peeked through one of the small gaps between his fingers to notice Ryou giving his look once again. An aggravated sigh escaped the darker one's lips. Ryou's chocolate brown orbs lit up. Would he concede? Would he agree to getting something done? "Does that mean that you'll finally listen to me and we can go?"

             Bakura raised an eyebrow. "And what if I say no?"

             Ryou's look became ugly with a scowl. "Then you'll sleep in your Ring tonight."

             "You wouldn't dare."

             "Try

             Both would stare at each other in deep silence, chocolate cherry hues staring into the endless pools of pure chocolate. Bakura mimicked Ryou's scowl, making that look quite frightening. Well, Bakura thought it looked frightening, until Ryou began to crack a grin. The light stifled himself from doubling over in laughter as he turned his eyes away from the darkness. He walked over to the wall, pressing a delicate hand firmly upon it to support himself. He couldn't hold it in, and as Bakura stood there looking quite dumbfounded, Ryou bursted out laughing. Bakura scowled once more.

             "What's so funny?!"

             "Y-you! .. That look i-is so p-priceless!"

             Just as the demon-like spirit began to wonder outloud, Ryou grabbed a mirror and had Bakura face it. Bakura was still scowling, trying to mimic Ryou's look from earlier. As he stared at his reflection, the look was nothing more than a very long pout with his eyebrows narrowed to dangerous levels. His eyes were also narrowed, and his lower lip was drawn out. His mouth was open slightly ajar, which revealed his teeth to an extent. Bakura blinked a few times, then with a devious expression climbing to replace the earlier one, both of the darkness' arms thrusted forth and pressed Ryou's shoulders to the wall. The mirror fell, but instead of shattering, it slid down Ryou's shirt and jeans, settling on the floor between both's feet.

             Ryou's eyes widened, actually being afraid for once. "I-I'm sorry, Bakura-kun. I didn't mean to make fun of yo--" His words were cut off as Bakura's lips melted against his own. The darkness' tongue parted open a pair of wanting, needy tiers that were hungry for more of that exotic flavor. Exploring every cavern and warmth amidst Ryou's mouth, Bakura tasted maple syrup, a sugary sticky substance that was always savored when tasted. A faint pink color flooded both of Ryou's cheeks and the bridge of his nose. Bakura soon pulled back, taking a nibble on the other's bottom lip before releasing him. He then picked up the mirror and handed it over to his light. Ryou stood there, amazed. "I-I .. wow .."

             Bakura smirked. "Did you have pancakes for breakfast?"

             Ryou nodded in muted reply. He was still too shocked for words, as Bakura's kisses often did that to the innocent possessor of the Sennen Ring.

             ightight have to try that maple syrup and see if it tastes good outside your mouth," Bakura said more to himself than to Ryou, as he turned around and began walking towards the stairs. Just seconds later, Ryou snapped out of his daze and whined towards his demon-spiked lover. Bakura paused, and turned around. Once again their eyes met, and this time Bakura would be the one to break the silence.

             "Let me get my shoes."

             And Ryou was elated.

             Why did I agree to this? Bakura questioned himself over and over again.

             Rows upon rows of sharp objects lay before him, encased in only a rather large glass container. When Bakura first stepped into the store, he was fascinated by the many sharp needles attached to very fashionable jewelry. If he could steal them, he'd have a grand collection of weapons-that-look-good to use against his enemies! However, when the man who stepped out went to greet them, that fascination quickly died. This man was covered with piercings. He had some on his eyebrows, earlobes, nose and lips. There was one that settled underneath a small hoop on the center of his lip. Bakura could have easily mistaken his eyebrows for bits of metal as the hair was nearly completely covered by the piercings. Just as he took a glance lower, he noted that the greeter's nipples were also pierced.

             "How can I help you today? Have you decided on what you want done? We have many options available, of course. Take your time and make a decision. We're pretty open up today except for a cu--" A loud scream was heard from the back. "--stomer. Hold on a moment." The man turned around and shouted out, "SHUT THAT GUY UP OR KNOCK HIM OUT!" The screaming continued. "God damnit, I'll be right back." He turned around and headed into the backroom, which was the source of the screaming. As the problem was being controlled, Bakura turned around and faced Ryou.

             "How does he make it out of the store on stormy days?"

             However, Ryou never answered. He was looking through the many selections they had, paying particular attention to the bellybutton rings that were on sale. It wasn't long until he looked up with an excited grin on his face. "Look at these designs, Bakura! I'm sure you'd like on too, ne? It's for your bellybutton!" His grin became even wider with the sign that was just behind Bakura's head. "Wow! There's a 2-for-1 sale today! We can buy one piercing procedure, and get another done for free! Sugoi .."

             I've become such a softie .. Bakura could only think as the man came back out. He held a questionable look towards Bakura, then glanced over at Ryou. He motioned a thumb over to the lighter of the two, seeing the chocolate orbed child jump up and down in excitement, and yet, was unable to utter a word. So, it was up to Bakura to speak for Ryou. He cleared his throat, a sweatdrop appearing at the side of his head. "Um, we're looking for the two for one sale. Ryou here is looking for .. uh, something where he's at. Something for your bellybutton."

             "Ah! The bellybutton rings! Those have become quite popular next to the tongue rings. However, you cannot get a design for about six months. You have to stay with a standard which will keep your hole open. You must take great care of that piercing, as it can infect rather easily," the man explained casually. "But after the alloted time, you'll get to have a grand design on your bellybutton. It's not like the standard ones are ugly; they are actually very nice to present." Turning towards Ryou, the greeter sed sed his arms. "Are you still very willing to purchase this sale?"

             "Hai! I would like it," Ryou answered happily, pumping his fists in the air and smiling rather exuberantly. The man nodded with a grin, and pulled a number for Ryou to hold.

             "You'll be called shortly. The total for the billing, since you're getting a two-for-one deal, will be twenty-five dollars."

             Pulling out his money, Ryou handed the amount over to the man, and went over to sit down so he could be called. Bakura watched him sit, and was about to join his hikari to wait with him, but as he turned, the man reached out and grabbed his shoulder. Bakura whirled around and threw a fierce glare at him. The greeter didn't seem phased, which produced another sweatdrop from Bakura. With a disgruntled sigh, he shook his head and asked. "What?"

             "This is a two-for-one deal. Is there anything you want to get yourself?"

             "No."

             "You weren't interested in the bellybutton piercings. We have others you know." The man rubbed his chin, just underneath the last piercing on his face. His eyes were studying Bakura's own. Bakura felt slightly violated by this gesture, and was currently thinking of some good ways to kill him. But just as he managed to get an image of how to torture him and hang him by his piercings, the man grinned and snapped his fingers.

             "You look like a guy who's daring."

             "I am," Bakura replied with the faintest of a smirk.

             "I'm sure pain isn't a problem with you, eh?"

             "No, not at all."

             "Then I have the perfect design for you. From seeing the both of you, I'm sure you two are something like .. lovers, right?" Bakura's eyes went wide. He knows too much! He must die. Soon. Now would be preferable. However, this design intrigues me ..

             "I would like to see this .. design you speak of."

             Just then, Ryou's number was called. Ryou stood up and went inside the back room. A man stumbled out of there, walking very awkwardly as he mumbled a quick `thank you` and wobbled out of the store. His look was a mix of sheer agony and pleasure, with a twinge of confusioakurakura noticed this, but said nothing. The man placed a hand on Bakura's shoulder and began leading him to another room.

             "There's nobody else around, so we can get you started now."

             As both reached home, Bakura looked ready to kill as he stumbled in through the doorway and immediately fell back against the chair. As soon as Ryou walked in, he dashed upstairs to the bathroom. The water was soon put on. Bakura glanced up the stairs, and shouted out.

             "What are you doing up there?!"

             "The guy said I have to wash it twice a day! I need to make sure it stays healthy!"

             Bakura merely grunted and leaned against thshioshions of the couch. He was in so much pain right now. Why did he convince Ryou? Why?! God, he'd hurt like this for ages! But at least I didn't leave empty handed .. the demon-spiked adolescent thought faintly as he struggled to stand up and go to check on his light. The water was still running as he managed to get to the stairs. As he did so, the water stopped, and Ryou was on his way down. He came down the stairs and looked over at Bakura with a slightly pained look.

             "Told you it would hurt."

             Ryou stuck his tongue out at him. He then pulled it back, and quickly asked. "What did you get done, Bakura-kun?"

             "Don't ask." Bakura sighed as he shook his head. Ryou merely shrugged as he walked over to watch TV. The light plopped down and turned to the news channel to listen. His eyes soon widened as the news reported on the bodies of two men at the very same piercing shop that Bakura and he were at. Upon hearing this, Bakura began laughing immediately, almost insanely.

             "What's so funny about that?!" Ryou demanded angrily, turning to glare at his lover. Bakura smirked.

             "Nobody but you touches me and lives. Fi, si, sickminded people. I showed them the virtues of right and wrong, plus I wished death upon the two."

             "..." Ryou remained silent, then turned to watch television. He concluded with a simple, 'Okay.` before breaking attention and engrossing himself in the TV.

             Bakura shrugged. It wasn't a big deal, anyway. However, when someone tried to touch his genitals, and succeeds, oh, they were asking for a long, suffering death. How he held up for long without killing them, even Bakura didn't know. At least until that thought came and bit him in the ass.

             I've become such a softie ..

(TBC.)

I may or may not throw a lemon in the next chapter with these two. They have to wait quite a while for their piercings to heal completely, and I don't think Bakura's quite proud to go off and boink Ryou just yet. Can you guess what piercing I gave our dear darkness of Ryou? If the last paragraph wasn't an given, then the fact that you should abstain from any sexual contact for at least six months should throw a very straight homerunner. It depends on the reviews I get. So how about it people? Lemon in the next chapter with months passing by, or should I move on to another couple? And if I do move onto another couple, which ones? :3 Please let me know. R/R please! And I'll try to get the next chapter out soon.
