Chapter 4 Bakura's Plan
Random Kat: Thanks!
Bakura's P.O.V.
That little wench of a fox! She knew that mortal had no idea where the Millennium Item was hidden. Well, no matter. She can't leave here, even if she transforms. I have put up a barrier around my apartment that repels Millennium Item like creatures. Anyways, I have the perfect plan to get the Millennium Item. I will put it into action tomorrow morning…
The Next Day…
Polari's P.O.V.
I woke to the smell of eggs. Eggs that are sunny-side up.
"Wha…?" I said, confused.
Suddenly, I heard my door being unlocked. Yelping, I hid under my bed. Bakura walked in and stooped down so he could see me eye to eye.
"You aren't that good at hiding." he smirked.
"Maybe because you kept me in a crappy room." I muttered, sliding out.
He walked towards me, but I backed away.
"Get away, Bakura! Don't come near me." I warned him.
Bakura sniggered and grabbed hold of my right arm.
"Like you'll do anything to me." he whispered in my ear, making me shiver.
The white-haired thief led me to his kitchen, where a plate of eggs sat on the table.
"Well, eat." he ordered.
"Is there poison in this?" I asked, suspicious.
Bakura rolled his eyes at me.
"I have no desire to kill you or your fox spirit. I can't have you die of starvation, now can I?"
"How can I trust a thief?" I asked smartly.
"Easy; you don't." Bakura replied.
I looked down at the meal warily. My stomach growled, urging me to eat, while my hands remained still.
"Go on, it won't bite you." Bakura snickered, acting as if I were a baby.
I picked up the fork and took a piece of egg, still unsure. Finally, I ate it. My eyes widened in shock.
"Whoa, that is delicious!" I cried, scarfing the eggs down.
"So, girl, what is your name?" he asked me.
"Why should I tell you?" I asked.
"Because you know mine. It would be rude to have someone know your name, but not know theirs." Bakura pointed out.
"Oh, what could you possibly know about manners?" I shot back.
"Shut the hell up and tell me your name."
"How can I if I shut up?"
"Don't push me to the edge, girl."
"Good, then you'll jump off and die."
"Just tell me your goddamn name!"
"You aren't very kind."
"I gave you food, am I not correct?"
Bakura had me there. Bakura: 1, Me: 0.
"Fine," I gave in. "I'm Polari Manu."
"I hear an Egyptian accent coming from you. Do you happen to be a native there?" he asked.
"Lucky guess." I muttered.
Bakura's P.O.V.
So, phase one of my plan is complete. This Polari girl is from Egypt, so I know that's where she got the Millennium Item. Now all I need to do is get closer to her, and then the hiding spot of the Millennium Item will be revealed to me, due to her lack of guard. Her fox spirit won't be able to stop me then. This naïve girl will have no idea what hit her.
Polari's P.O.V.
"So, Polari is it? Such an unusual name. But I think it fits you." Bakura told me, giving me a small smirk.
Is he flirting with me? I'm not gonna let him do that to me!
"Sorry, thief, but I'm not going to let you do this." I snapped, standing up.
Bakura scoffed.
"Is that anyway to treat someone who offers you hospitality?"
"You freaking kidnapped me!" I pointed out.
"You had nowhere else to go anyway, I presume. You were sleeping in a corner."
I turned red in embarrassment.
"Well so what? You don't know what I've been going through!"
"Care to share?" Bakura asked.
"No. I wouldn't share shit with you." I snapped.
"That would be kind of disturbing." Bakura sneered.
"Shut up."
"Come on, youth. You have nothing better to do."
"Why are you so persistent on wanting to know my life?"
"I may be a thief, but I'm allowed to be curious."
"Yeah, a thief that would kill to get something, like a Millennium Item."
"Don't make me-never mind."
I turned away from Bakura. That no good thief thinks he's doing me a favor by keeping me alive, but he's got it all wrong. I'd rather die than be kept here for the rest of my life. Oh Yami, please get that energy fast! I don't want to stay here any longer.
"Polari, since you are going to be staying here, you might as well tell me more about you. You pretty much know who I am, thanks to that nosy fox spirit of yours." Bakura told me.
"Yami is not nosy! She's an ancient spirit just like you!" I snapped.
"So Yami is her name, hmm? Very cliché." Bakura replied.
"As if. Yami is an older spirit than you are. She has known Pharaoh Atemu longer than you have." I informed him.
"Don't mention his name ever again. I loathe him with all I have." Bakura growled.
Bakura glanced at my appearance. He was amazed by my blood red eyes and crescent moon marking.
"How did you end up looking like that?" Bakura asked me.
I scoffed and turned away again.
"I never thought that people here would act like the people back in Cairo. Always judging me by the way I look."
"No one said I was judging you, girl. I was simply curious."
I sighed.
"Well, my parents and my little brother Kurai didn't look this way in any form, but I was told by an old fortune teller lady that about 5,000 years ago, there was a white fox that was polymerized with a duel monster to create Yami. That was the spirit you fought with. Yami apparently is in my line in ancestors. Even though Yami is over 5,000 years old, she still acts like a modern teen like me. It is every so many generations that inherit her traits, which happens to be me."
I love sharing my knowledge about Yami, even if it is with a thief. I am so proud to be a descendent of Yami, and that I get to be her hikari. I just wish that people could see the uniqueness of Yami instead of shunning me and her.
"Very interesting." Bakura murmured.
So obviously Yami was sealed inside this mysterious Millennium Item. So in order to harness its true power, I have to rid myself of Yami. That won't be a problem. Bakura thought. I have to be careful around Polari, though. She has the Millennium Item, yet she harnesses Yami's traits, not only in looks either. I don't know what kind of power she has. And also, such a sexy looking appearance from the both of them is quite a dangerous trait, so I have to be careful not to fall into their web of lust. Phase two of my plan has been successfully executed. Now all I need to do is get her to trust me, and possibly have her fall in love with me, and this unknown Millennium Item will be mine!
