Destined to be Yours

Chapter 61: The Longest Hour

Bakura and Akia were now alone in his room. The girl started to feel a little nervous, considering her feelings for him. She also wasn't sure if it was Bakura or the Spirit of the Ring that was in control right now.

"How's your injury?" She went up to him and looked at his bandaged arm. There was still blood peeking through.

"It's a bit better. I'll manage. More importantly, did that bastard touch you?" The Spirit of the Ring snapped.

Akia raised her eyebrows at the comment. She knew Bakura would never say those things. "You took over again? Since when?"

Bakura chuckled. "Since before getting injured back during the prelims. I'm surprised I got away with it for so long."

Akia frowned but then sighed in defeat. She sat down on one of the chairs there and looked up at Bakura. "I guess it's no wonder you made it so quickly into the finals. What's your goal here?"

Bakura went and joined her, sitting on the other chair across the small dining table. "Ah, no matter how much I'm fond of you, that's something for me to know and for you to maybe find out later."

"Great, another guy keeping secrets from me..." Akia sighed.

"Is the other guy the asshole you were talking to outside?" Yami Bakura spat out.

Akia noticed the frown forming on Bakura's face.

"Yeah, the guy that saved you," the red-eyed girl replied.

The Evil Spirit of the Ring loudly laughed. That caught Akia completely off guard, making her jump a little in her seat. "Did I say something funny?"

Bakura stopped laughing and turned his head to her. He them got up and walked towards Akia. He stopped right in front of her, took her hand and pulled her up to him, embracing her tightly. Akia blushed but did not fight it.

"Let's stop talking about him. I don't like the way he looks at you. I'm the only one allowed to look at you that way," as he said that, he pulled away from the hug and kissed her before she had any time to react. Akia didn't know what to do. The kiss felt so good, yet so wrong. She wished it was Ryou, but then she wished it was Marik. She also felt the undeniable attraction to the Spirit of the Ring, but she didn't know if it was because of her feelings towards Bakura or if she actually had feelings for the Ring's inhabitant. She decided to just let herself go and be swept away, tired of resisting. Maybe this was what she needed to forget Marik.

The Spirit of the Ring finally felt her reciprocating the kiss. It gave him such a rush that he became even bolder. He started nibbling at her lips and licking them, not letting up until Akia gave in and parted her lips for him. They explored each other's mouths, interlacing their tongues in a wild dance. The one in control of Bakura's body started leading Akia backwards towards his bed where he pushed her on it and towered over her, breaking the kiss to look at her. The look in his eyes was so filled with desire and hunger that it gave Akia butterflies in her stomach. She wanted Ryou so bad. When she realized that, she knew she couldn't go any further with the other Bakura. "Can we stop...?"

Bakura blinked a few times, surprised by her statement. "Why? Doesn't it feel good?"

"It does, but it doesn't feel right. You're using Ryou's body. What if he doesn't want to do this?"

"Oh trust me, he does." Bakura then proceeded eagerly kissing her, starting to feel his pants tighten in excitement and anticipation of what he wanted to do next. To his dismay, however, Akia resisted and pushed him away. He started to lose patience. "What now?"

Akia's whole being was rejecting this. Her body was getting invaded once more with thoughts of Marik. "This wouldn't be fair to you or to Ryou in my current state! I can't get Marik out of my head. I'm so sorry. I wish I could do something about it..." Akia was in tears at her conflicting emotions.
