Treachery

Chapter One- No Time for Popcorn

I could tell everyone was trying to hide something, but I ignored it. They didn't seem upset and I didn't want to ask and end up ruining everything. So I remained my usual cheery self when I followed them to Yugi's home, and I was extra helpful to make the room as dark as possible.

We were staying up to watch movies all night long; Yugi's grandfather was away for the entire weekend so it seemed the perfect night to stay up. Of course such a perfect seeming night was just as perfect for other things.

I helped Yugi spread the comforter onto the floor where the coffee table had been. Joey had suggested we all sit on the floor. Malik had jokingly said that we could all cuddle. I would have laughed if it weren't for the glare Yami had given him. It was the sort of glare he gave to anyone who ended up on the other side of the dueling field and put Yugi in mortal danger. Malik just glared back and they seemed to be silently debating something. Eventually Yugi pushed them apart and placed himself on the far left side of the comforter.

"I'm sitting here!" He chirped happily. Yami sat beside him without a comment. Malik pulled me so that I sat in the middle and he was to my right. That left Joey at the far right next to Malik, "Hey Ryou."

"Yes Yugi?"

"Give me your Ring and I'll put it on top of the TV with my Puzzle. That way you can lie on your stomach." Yugi stood up and removed the pyramid from around his neck.

"I don't think the Ring will be a problem for me Yugi, besides Bakura tends to get angry when I take it off. I don't want to be on his bad side so I'll just keep it."

"Don't worry about your Yami. I'll deal with him if he gets too angry, Ryou." Yami offered. I looked down from them at my pendant and stroked its smooth rounded surface. Well Bakura never got truly mad at me; after all I'm still alive. I passed the ring over to him and he placed it on top of the TV.

When Yugi bounced back to his seat beside Yami he pressed the button on the remote control and the movie began to play, "Hey!" Joey yelled suddenly, "Don't we get any popcorn?"

"Uh- no we don't, Joey." Yugi thought a moment before continuing, "We don't have time."

"We don't?" Joey seemed to ponder this for a moment and then he burst out again, "OH!" He called, "RIGHT!" Joey smacked himself on the forehead, "I forgot!"

"You're an idiot Joey, you know that?" Malik said with an exasperated sigh. I didn't exactly understand; we were watching a two-hour movie and we'd probably stay up all night. How could we not have time for popcorn? I decided to just ignore it and watch the movie.

When I was starting to get interested in the movie a caught Yami held up four fingers and then one, everyone else seemed to understand what he meant but I didn't. I gave him a confused look and he leaned forward to explain. I tilted my head closer to hear, "Ryou." He mumbled. I jumped when I felt my arms pulled away from under me and I fell back into Joey who had moved behind me. I tried to remove my wrists from his grasp but I looked up at him expectantly.

"Um- Joey?" I asked giving him my questioning look. With my wrists still in his hands he crossed his arms over my chest and pulled me closer. I blushed slightly, "What are you doing?" Joey leaned me back so that my head was in his lap. He leaned down and kissed me. I didn't know what to do, so I simply sat there with my mouth hanging open for him to use. I tried again to pull from him, which at least got him to release my mouth.

"I can't Joey." I tried to free my wrists again but he kept them in his grasp, "Um- I love someone else so would you let me go?" I was slightly disappointed that Joey took my first kiss... but I had other things that I could give to the one I loved when the time came.

I jumped again when I felt hands on my ankles and I looked at Malik, "Um- Malik--" I was slightly winded when Yugi seated himself on my stomach and I looked up at him. He was grinning childishly, "Yugi? What are you guys doing?" Yugi didn't answer me and I was starting to feel rather trapped.

I caught Yami looking down at me. He knelt by Joey and took my wrists from him then scooted so that my head rested in his lap instead. It was just the way he looked at me that sent shivers all over me it confused me. Yami grinned at me briefly and then turned his attention back to Joey, who now stood over us. Yami nodded once to Joey and he left the room.

I had given up struggling against my friends and spent more time wondering what they were up to. They were all grinning happily and I didn't understand what was so amusing. I had the brief thought that it would be some type of horrible tickle torture. Bakura had told me once that Yami was plotting something involving me and being ticklish but he had decided that he would rather steal something of value rather than listen to their mindless plotting. After all Bakura was the master of tickle torture and I should know--

I squeaked when I felt a heavier weight on my stomach and noticed Yami hanging over me where Yugi had been. Yugi was soon out of the room and I stared up at Yami with that same questioning look, "Yami?"

Yami turned away slightly to nod to Malik before he looked back to me, "Yes?"

I watched Malik leave from the corner of my eyes before focusing all of my attention onto Yami, "What's going on?" I asked in my sweetest voice, "Why are you pinning me to the floor?" Yami smiled and his gaze wandered from me.

"You'll see." Yami nodded with a grin and I looked up to see who had come back.

I grabbed my boxers and slipped them on before reaching for the Ring, "Stop right there you dirty, whore." I cringed and turned back to look at Malik. Yami stood behind him.

"I-I just want to go home." I whispered looking timidly at Malik. Hadn't he just been trying to sooth me?

"This is a sleepover, you idiot, Bakura will get suspicious if you come home when you should be hanging out with your dear friends. I know you get excited about spending time with your friends and so does Bakura. We don't want him to find out, now do we?" Yami growled in a threatening tone.

"N-No we don't want him to find out." I murmured even though I wanted so desperately to tell him. Maybe he'd even feel sorry for me and hold me-- though that was expecting a lot from him. He'd probably give me a slightly sympathetic look and tell me to get some rest. But I didn't really want to rest at all. I wanted to curl up next to Bakura and cry; but it seemed I'd be stuck here until tomorrow.

"Get your item before you leave tomorrow. We can all sleep in my bed tonight."

Yugi cheered and ran for the stairs, he stumbled into his boxers at the base, "I love your bed Yami!" Yugi bounded up the stairs. He acted as if nothing had happened at all. Joey placed his boxers on and followed after Yugi with his usual goofy grin. I suppose I didn't look much different than normal. I tried to always have a smile, but with my friends I let myself be just a little more depressed.

Yami and Malik also threw on something to cover their manhood and began to push me toward the stairs, "Can't I just go home? I'll tell Bakura t-that Joey got in a fight with someone, or that I'm sick, or--"

"Relax!" Yami hissed at me, which wasn't relaxing in the slightest, "We're smart enough to leave you alone for the rest of today and I guess I'll be kind enough to leave you alone tomorrow morning as well. SO GO!" Yami pushed me more roughly and I bounded up the stairs hoping to hide in the bathroom, but I was unable to make it there alone.

Yami pinned me to the wall and glared at me, "Trying to hide?" He wrapped his fingers around my already sore wrists and dragged me into his room. I was thrown onto the bed next to hyper-as-always Yugi.

Yami watched me carefully as Malik climbed in the bed next to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. Yugi snuggled into my chest and Joey nuzzled up to him, and Yami took the last place behind Malik. They were soon asleep, but I just couldn't rest at all. I felt so guilty for losing everything I wanted Bakura to have.
