Sins of the Flesh
- 06 -

Bakura scowled. He
was in over his head here� Vowing to make Kaiba at least like him had seemed
like a good idea at the moment, but now that it had
been a couple days and he still had no idea how to do so, he was beginning to
see that this might not happen.

�Ryou,� he said
sharply. His hikari looked up at him with his patient smile.

�Yes?�

�How the hell do I
make Kaiba like me?�

Ryou smiled much
more broadly and sat up. �I was waiting for you to ask me,� he admitted. �First
off� apologize. I know you haven�t yet. You may not think you need to say it,
that he knows, but �� he said, cutting off his yami�s protests, �you have no
idea just how much a simple apology can fix.�

�You know he won�t
accept it.�

�Keep apologizing
until he does, as many ways as you can think of. Tell him, leave him notes, just� make him see that you really are sorry. And I know you
are, so you can�t even use that as an excuse for doing a half-hearted job.�

Bakura scowled
again, but this time at how well his hikari knew him. He was supposed to
apologize�? How was he supposed to do that? Frankly�
it was embarrassing. He didn�t think he�d ever apologized for anything before,
especially not seriously. Kaiba would never buy it.

�Okay, assuming he
ever believes me, then what?�

Ryou shrugged. �Be
nice to him, first. Talk to him without trying to punch him. Don�t ignore or
taunt him. Act like you want him to like you.�

Bakura�s scowl
never moved. �Then what?�

�I�d just work on
that for now, if I were you,� Ryou said with a small smile. �That�ll be enough
work.�

Definitely.

Bakura stood in
the doorway, looking at Kaiba at his desk, reading.
Why was he always reading? Books just weren�t that interesting�

Ryou pushed him
from behind. �Go on,� he said. �He�s not going to bite your head off��

The yami growled
and hesitantly went forward. Just apologize. Tell him you�re sorry� It really
wasn�t that hard, after all. Just a couple little words. �I�m� and �sorry�. Not too hard�

�Kaiba?�

�Go away. My
answer is still no.� He didn�t even bother to look up.

�I wanted to talk
to you.�

�Last time you
wanted to talk to me, you proposed in a bathroom stall.�

�This time, I
wanted to apologize.�

Kaiba paused for a
moment, then looked up. After a moment, he narrowed
his eyes and looked back down. �Go to hell.�

Bakura scowled and
left him alone.

�That wasn�t so
horrible, was it, yami?� Ryou asked. �And he reacted a lot better than I
thought he would.�

�He told me to go
to hell, hikari.�

�I thought he�d
hit you,� Ryou said, smiling, and turned his attention to the teacher.

One try down.

Seto opened his
locker, and instinctively caught the paper that fell out. He opened it and
scowled when he read the two words �I�m sorry�, then
crumpled it up and threw it toward the trashcan.

Two tries down.

Bakura snuck into
the classroom while everyone, including the teacher, was still at lunch, and
grabbed the chalk, hurriedly drawing his words on the board and sneaking back
out.

Seto walked into
the room and sat down in his chair, to await the beginning of class in a few
minutes. He took out his book and began to read, not noticing as the other
students began to file back in. They were babbling around him, just like
always- he wondered if it was possible for them to keep their mouths shut for
more than ten seconds at a time.

�Hey, Kaiba,� Jou
called. �You see who wrote that? You were the first one in here.�

He looked up,
glaring, about to call him an idiot, when he saw the message on the board. �I�m
sorry � please forgive me.� He scowled and looked away.

Three tries down.

�It�s been three
days,� Bakura complained. �He hasn�t done anything better than ignore them.� He
sat moodily in a chair at home.

�But he stopped
telling you to go to hell,� Ryou said pragmatically. �You�re making progress.�

Bakura scowled,
but didn�t argue. They sat in silence for a while.

�Why are you helping
me, Ryou?� Bakura asked finally. �I thought you loved me � why are you helping
me get Kaiba?�

Ryou smiled a
little. �I do love you,� he said. �That�s why I�m happy for you.�

Bakura just looked
at him for a moment, then went to his room, grabbing a
piece of paper and a pencil.

�There�s just one
more announcement,� the student over the loudspeaker said. �A special delivery,
from Bakura, to you-know-who. He says �I�m sorry. I was wrong, and I�ll try to
make it up to you. Will you marry me?��

The class erupted
in cheers, jeers, and general chaos. There were people asking Bakura whom he
was talking to, though he didn�t answer. Several looked at Ryou; the hikari
laughed and told them it wasn�t him. Yuugi, Yami, and
Bakura were all watching Kaiba�s reaction.

Seto was frozen for a moment. Then he scowled. Was Bakura trying
to make a fool of him? What if someone realized that was
directed at him? He glared at Bakura.

Bakura saw his
glare, and drooped in his chair. That had been his best idea� and Kaiba still
hated him. Maybe he should just give up� It was obvious Kaiba didn�t want to even think of forgiving him�

Class was
eventually restored to order and passed fairly quickly,
though Bakura never noticed. He walked slowly to his locker and listlessly pulled
out his book for the next class, and jumped when he shut it and saw Kaiba
there.

�Fine,� he said.

Bakura brightened.
�You will?�

�No, fine as in �I
forgive you�. Now stop apologizing, before someone realizes you�re talking to
me.�

Bakura smiled, his
entire day suddenly brightened, and took off to tell Ryou the good news.

Fourth try�s a
charm.

�Okay, so now
what?� Bakura asked. �He forgave me � how do I make him marry me?�

Ryou appeared to think
about it. �Well, first off, be nice to him. I�m sure it won�t be easy, but you
can do it.�

Bakura snorted.
�Nice? I can try, anyway. How about I just not smack him when he irritates me?�

�That�s a good
start, I suppose. Now� if you really want to make him fall in love with you,
not just tolerate you�� Bakura nodded. �Okay, I don�t want this to sound like I
mean it wrong, but most girls have a romantic side, even if they hide it very
well��

Bakura snorted
again. �So I send him flowers and chocolates?�

Ryou just looked
at him and smiled. Bakura backed up a little and held up his hands. �I was
joking!�

�I�m not,� Ryou
said. �Flowers are romantic� of course, he�s very rich, so he�s probably used
to very nice things� don�t skimp out on anything. But
try not to scare him away. Don�t go kissing him or anything or proclaiming your
love for all to see before he accepts it.� He smiled again.

�What would make
you think I would do that?� Bakura asked, half offended.

�People in love do
strange things,� the hikari said. �Just be nice and romantic and quiet about
it� take it slow. Of course, you�ve only got a couple months, so not too slow.�

Bakura rolled his
eyes. �So basically, I have to be romantic but nobody can know� take my time
but make it quick� tell him I love him but not scare him away� Do the
impossible and make it look easy, in other words.�

�Precisely.�

�Just checking.
When do I start?�

�As soon as
possible. Don�t give him time to hate you again. But make sure he has enough
time to get used to liking you.�

�Hikari��

Ryou shrugged.
�Sorry. The best advice I can give.�

�From now on, I
think I�ll just ask the pharaoh��

Ryou actually
laughed. �What makes you think he knows any better than I do? He can�t even
tell Yuugi��

�Good point. Your advice
sucks, hikari � and I�m going to try to take it.�

Seto opened his
locker and gaped in surprise when he found a half-bloomed rose sitting there on
top of his books. A rose? Bakura was giving him flowers?
What did he think he was� a romantic, gushy high school girl? Yeah, right, like
this was going to work on him�

He smiled slightly
as he shut the locker, though, and was careful not to damage the flower.

�Do you think he
got it?� Bakura asked his hikari nervously, looking at Kaiba in the back of the
class.

Ryou looked at him
critically. �He�s smiling��

Bakura snorted.
�Maybe he just ran over a cat on the way to school.� Ryou hit him gently, and
he stared some more at Kaiba.

�Go ask him if
you�re that concerned!� Ryou said finally, exasperated. �I don�t think he�s
telepathic.�

Bakura scowled.
�You�re nuts. I�m just going to go over there and say �Hey, Kaiba, you get my
flower? Marry me?� I don�t think so.�

�You�ve already
asked him several times. You�re right, though � it might be a little premature
for another proposal, right now. Just go talk to him, then.�

�Talk to him?
What�s that going to do?�

�What?� Ryou
asked. �You�re planning on marrying him and ignoring him?�

�I guess not��

�So go get used to
talking to him. Be friendly with him.� He smiled again. �How else is he
supposed to like you?�

Bakura shrugged
and grumbled a bit, but sauntered over to Kaiba and leaned on the empty desk in
front of him. The brunet apparently didn't even notice him and looked slightly
startled when he spoke. �What are you reading?�

Kaiba just looked
up at him, apparently deciding how to answer. Bakura got impatient and took the
book from his hands, making sure not to lose his page. He furrowed his brows
and glared at it, then back up at Kaiba, who was looking at him in amusement.

�What the hell
language is this?�

�German,� Seto
answered, and took it back.

�You read German
books a lot?�

�Yes.�

�Why?�

Seto shrugged, and
marked his page to set the book down, evidently deciding that Bakura wasn�t
going to go anywhere anytime soon. �They�re interesting.�

Bakura snorted.
�I�ve never seen an interesting book � even in a language I could read.�

�You haven�t tried
very hard. Or you have no imagination.�

�So, what? You read
fiction books? That�s about the stupidest invention
ever. Why would I want to read stories about stupid characters that never act
realistic in situations that could never happen where everything always falls
perfectly into place and everything always turns out Happily Ever After?�

Seto looked at him
levelly for a moment, then picked up the book again.
�Why would I want to focus on my real life and not be able to forget it for a
while?� he asked, and opened the book once more, making it clear that the discussion
was over.

Bakura was about to argue more, then remembered that he was
supposed to be nice, and just went back to his seat. Actually, once he
thought about it, that was very interesting� so Kaiba liked Happily Ever After,
did he�? Maybe that was the way to his heart, assuming
the great Kaiba Seto actually had one. If he wanted a fairy tale� well, he�d
try and provide one.

He smiled.

�Seto!� Mokuba
yelled up the stairs. �There�s a delivery for you!�

Seto sighed and
shoved his homework away from him. Not like it was
interesting or anything� but he would rather be doing it.

He lightly
descended the stairs and went to the door, as Mokuba abandoned his post. He
took the package without a word and tossed some money at the boy who had
delivered it, and shut the door before opening it. He laughed aloud when he
did, and dropped it on the kitchen table. �Mokuba!� he called. �Want some
chocolates?�

The younger boy
appeared as though by magic. �Cool!� he said, as he saw the package. �Who�s it
from � a secret admirer?�

�Hardly,� Seto
said dryly. �Bakura�s trying to seduce me.�

Mokuba laughed and
climbed into the chair, taking another chocolate. �So�s
that where you got the rose from?�

�You saw that?�

The boy nodded.
�Uh-huh. You didn�t throw it out, so I guess you don�t hate him� but I don�t
know why. I�d hate him. I kind of do.�

Seto ruffled his
already messy raven hair. �I guess I don�t � he was persistent in apologizing,
anyway, and the flowers and chocolates are kind of sweet, in a pathetic and completely
undignified way. He makes me laugh� He�s trying to get me to marry him.�

Mokuba laughed.
�That�d be really funny� Would you be the one in the dress?�

Seto frowned. �I
don�t think so.� He looked preoccupied as he turned away. �Enjoy the chocolates,
Mokuba.�

Mokuba watched him
as he walked up the stairs, happily stuffing chocolates into his mouth one
after another.

Seto was sitting
at his desk, reading once again. Bakura was, once again, standing nervously in
the doorway and watching him. Did he get them? Did he like them? Did he realize
they were from him? Maybe Ryou was wrong, and he wasn�t into the whole �flowers
and chocolates� thing�

�Be careful, tomb
robber,� Yami said airily. �You�re beginning to look lovesick.�

Bakura growled at
him. �Mind your own business, pharaoh!� he snapped.

�Somehow, I don�t
think he�s going to beg you to let him marry you if you just stand here staring
at him.�

�I said mind your
own business!�

�Actually,� Yami
continued, unconcerned, �I don�t think he�s going to beg you to let him marry
you at all. Next time, you might want to think about these sort of consequences
before you decide it�s okay to rape someone.�
Evidently, he had decided not to get his own revenge � Kaiba appeared to be
doing that well enough by remaining oblivious to the thief�s existence.

�The entire school
already knows I apologized for that!� he said. �And he said it was fine.�

�The whole school
also knows you�re trying to get someone to marry you, and that someone doesn�t
find that idea appealing,� Yami said with a smirk.

�That�ll change,�
Bakura said. �Just you watch. By the time we come back from spring break, he�ll
be wearing my ring��

Yami snorted
impolitely.

Bakura glared at
him and stalked away, to lean against Seto�s desk. �More German fiction?�

�American,� Seto
said absently. �You should read it; it�s a classic.�

�What is?�

�The Adventures
of Tom Sawyer,� Set told him without looking up. �He reminds me of you.�

Bakura leaned over
his shoulder, but it appeared to actually be written
in English, which he was not at all adept at reading. �Really?�

�Well, his friend
does� Huckleberry Finn.�

Bakura frowned.
�That�s a stupid name.�

�And �Bakura� is
taking all the awards for beauty, is it?�

�Well, it doesn�t
compare to the elegance and grace of �Seto Tenshi Kazesenshi�, perhaps, but it�s a lot better than
�Huckleberry Finn�.�

Seto looked up,
frowning slightly. �Was that a compliment?�

Bakura smirked.
�Maybe.�

Seto looked back
down. �Thanks for the chocolates,� he said. �Mokuba really enjoyed them.�

Bakura gaped.
Then, once he recovered his wits, he turned around and walked away.

�What�s wrong?�
Ryou asked, concerned, as he moodily plopped in his chair.

�He gave them to
Mokuba,� he said, his arms crossed over his chest.

Ryou laughed a
little, though it cut out abruptly when Bakura glared at him. �It�s okay,
yami,� he said. �He loves Mokuba. Maybe he was just being nice to his brother.�

Bakura snorted. �One:
Seto is just not that nice. Two: he said it in such a way as to make it
extremely clear that he meant it as an insult. Three: even if that was so, that
was damned inconsiderate! He knew how those were meant.�

Ryou put his arm
around his yami, despite his growl. �He hurt your feelings.�

�I don�t have
feelings!�

�Yes you do. You
can�t give up, though � keep trying. Remember the apologies?�

�He�s a jackass!�

Ryou kissed his
cheek lightly. �So are you. It�s a match made in heaven.�

Bakura growled again
and resolutely ignored him. And the teacher. And their classmates. All he did the entire class was sit
there and plot ways to make Kaiba pay� force him to marry him and make him eat
chocolates until the damned twig got fat? Good plan� He had no business being
so skinny anyway.

�Yami, you�re
smirking,� Ryou whispered.

�I don�t care.�

�You�re not
planning on doing anything to Kaiba-kun, are you?�

�What if I am?�

�You�ve made all
this progress! Don�t blow it!�

Bakura sneered at
him, but he had a point, so he sat back, scowling once again. He couldn�t
really do anything to the prick� he�d never marry him if he did, and as far as
he could tell, that was what he still wanted� Damn it.
This wasn�t going to be any fun at all.

The bell rang
suddenly. At least, suddenly to Bakura, who had lost himself once more. He was a little behind getting out of his chair, and
Kaiba was already walking past him. He stopped suddenly, just as Bakura stood
up, making him almost run into him.

�The flower was sweet,
at least�� he said, and walked away again. Bakura was dumbfounded for a moment�
then he smiled and walked away, literally whistling.
