Chapter 7
Next Morning the Chamberlin
Crow was standing out on the balcony, thinking about what Carly had said to him last night about Bakura. She said "the others" don't like him very much. She didn't say "we" or "I". She also looked very sad when she was talking about him. Why though?
"Hey Crow," Yusei said coming out to the balcony. "You've just been sitting out here for quite a while now."
"Oh, sorry," Crow replied.
"Well don't apologize," Yusie said. "What's on your mind?"
"Carly said something yesterday when we were walking back from Joey and Serenity's house," Crow stated. "It was about Bakura."
"The guy that Yugi and the others warned us about?" Yusei inquired.
"Yeah, that's the guy," Crow confirmed.
"Well, what about him?" Yusei questioned.
"They weren't joking about him," Crow declared. "Carly said he really is a threat, and that he has done horrible, horrible things in the past."
"Is that all?" Yusei questioned.
"No, something was strange when she was talking about him," Crow said. "She only said that the others did not like him. She didn't make it sound like she actually hated him. When she was talking about him she looked really upset about it."
"When you put it like that it sounds like there's a whole extra side to this story," Yusei stated.
"Yeah, but what is it?" Crow asked.
"Whatever it is, it sounds like it makes Carly very unhappy," Yusei replied.
"So we listen to them and stay away from this Bakura at all costs?" Crow inquired.
"Yeah, there's only one problem with that though," Yusei stated. "We still have no idea who exactly this guy is."
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
A few hours late, Kaiba Corp.
Kaiba and Carly were looking at the monitors that showed all the dueling areas around the city. So far everything looked okay.
"Sir, you should take a look at this," one of the employees said.
Kaiba went over to the monitor that employee was currently working off of. He took just one look at the monitor before heading over to the phone in the room.
"Yugi, he's here," he said into the phone before hanging up.
Several minutes later
The girls had shown up to Kaiba Corp. to help "keep Carly distracted." She was taken to a room, with a metal door and looked in. Mai, Tea, and Serenity were standing guard outside.
"What's the meaning of this?" Carly yelled. "Let me out of here."
"This door isn't going to hold long," Tea declared. "So you better hurry."
"Yeah, I'm going, I'm going," Kaiba said walking away.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
A few minutes later
The 5Ds gang was walking around the city, mainly looking for people to duel. So far though, they didn't see anybody they felt like challenging. After about a few blocks they noticed something very, horrifying. There were two unconscious bodies on the ground in front of them.
"Oh my God," was all Akiza could say.
Also standing there was a man, with white hair.
"Hi," the mysterious man greeted.
"What happened to them?" Mina asked.
"They lost," the man stated.
"Lost what?" Luna asked fearfully.
"A duel," he replied.
A few seconds of nerve-racking silence
"Oh forgive me, where are my manners," the man said. "My name is Bakura."
It was indeed Bakura, and he was wearing his outfit from the Dawn of the Duel Arc.
"That's the guy Yugi told as to stay away from?" Leo questioned.
"Oh, you know Yugi?" Bakura asked. "I've known him for most of my life myself. Do you happen to know where he is?"
"At this very moment you mean?" Crow inquired.
"Yes," Bakura replied.
"No, we haven't seen him at all today," Misty stated.
"Dammit," Bakura said.
"Why do you want to see Yugi?" Yusei questioned.
"We're old friends," Bakura stated. "And we have a few friends in common. So how do you know Yugi?"
"We have a friend in common," Crow stated. "We met them through her."
"Oh, who is she?" Bakura asked.
"Someone you're not going to see," Kaiba said.
The group looked to see that Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Kaiba, and Duke where now standing right behind Bakura. They really didn't look happy to see him. They couldn't blame them though. This guy gave off a very dark threatening aura.
"They know Carly?" Bakura inquired.
"Yes," Tristan replied.
Bakura's demeanor seemed to do a 180, he was entirely cheerful all of a sudden.
"Where is she?" Bakura asked. "I assumed that if I found Yugi, she would be with Yugi, but clearly that's not the case. So where is she?"
"Kaiba just told you," Joey stated. "You're not getting anywhere near her."
"Carly's right, they really don't like him," Crow whispered to Yusei.
"Yeah, that's how this is looking," Yusei replied.
"Come on, I haven't seen her in over a year," Bakura complained. "Wait, she doesn't even know I'm here does she? The second she found out I was here; she would have come looking for me. So you trapped her somewhere and came to see me."
"Maybe," Duke replied.
"Wait, why would you trap her?" Jack asked.
"To keep her from following us here," Joey stated. 'Why else?"
"Well, it seems I'll never get to her then," Bakura declared. "At least not now, she'll break out eventually. Well, I have more dueling to do. Still haven't gotten all eight locator cards that I need. So I will take my leave. We will meet each other again soon I'm sure, or not. Either way it will be a fun time. Oh, before I go though I do a request."
"And that would be?" Yugi asked.
"Would you pass on a message to Carly for me?" Bakura asked.
"What's the message?" Joey asked.
"Would you tell her that I love her?" Bakura asked.
The 5Ds gang just looked absolutely shocked. Jack was clenching his fists.
"Why should we do you a favor?" Kaiba questioned.
"Because you know it would make her happy," Bakura said before walking away.
"What was that?" Misty asked.
"Scary, it was scary," Luna replied.
As soon as Bakura was out of sight, something else happened. The boys were nearly crushed by a metal door, that was thrown at them, by a fuming Carly.
"How, how did she do that?" Kalin asked in shock.
"I don't know," Crow said. "Your guess is as good as mine."
"Uhm, hi Carly," Yugi greeted.
"What the hell!" Carly yelled.
"What happened to the girls?" Duke questioned.
"I locked them in a closet," Carly stated.
"You did what?!" Joey exclaimed.
"Oh, like what you did to me was any better," Carly replied.
"We had a reason to do that," Kaiba declared.
"Ok, what's the reason?" Carly asked.
"Uhm, nothing that you should concern yourself with," Yugi stated nervously.
"Well, the fact that you felt the need to lock me in a steel enforced room says otherwise," Carly stated.
She began walking menacingly toward the guys. And they started to look nervous. She looked, at Yugi, then, Joey, then Kaiba, then Duke, then Tristian.
"Tristan, do you want to tell me what's going on?" She asked stepping closer to him.
Tristan went wide-eyed, and just fell backwards covering his face. "Bakura was here, Bakura was here, not the face, not the face!" He yelled.
Carly looked at the rest of the guys.
"Dude, why would you do that?" Duke asked Tristan.
"She scares me," Tristan declared.
"Bakura was here?" Carly inquired.
Uhm, yeah," Joey replied.
"Where is he?" Carly asked.
"He already left," Yugi stated. "So don't bother to go looking for him. You'll run into him sooner or later."
"Why would you stop me from seeing him?" Carly asked.
"You know why Carly," Kaiba said.
"It's not like anything would have happened," Carly stated.
"Carly, listen, I'm in charge, so I make the calls on this," Yugi confirmed. "Please, just trust me."
Kaiba pulled out his cell phone and called for medics to come and take the unconscious bodies.
Then he just put his hand on Carly's shoulder and gave it a small squeeze. Carly who was not looking happy in the least bit leaned into him.
"Come on," Kaiba said. "We're dueling today."
Carly nodded and looked back at the others. "See you later guys."
Then Kaiba and Carly walked away.
"You think she'll be alright?" Duke questioned.
"They're best friends, Kaiba will take care of her," Yugi declared.
"Wait they're best friends?" Jack asked.
"Yes we had this discussion yesterday, they are best friends that is all," Joey confirmed.
Crow just burst into laughter, and Jack in turn just started giving him the death glare.
Crow took one look at Jack before running away in the other direction. Everyone else just looked him the scene in confusion.
"I'll get him later," Jack said. "He can't run forever."
"So, what was that all about before?" Mina questioned.
"Well, Carly and Bakura have a complicated history," Yugi stated. "We are going to leave. We still have locator cards to win."
"Yeah, I have yet to duel somebody," Joey confirmed. "First we should go rescue our girlfriends and my little sister from whatever closet Carly shoved them into."
"That would probably be good idea right now," Tristan added.
"So on that awkward note we are going to leave," Yugi stated. "We're sorry for the Bakura ordeal and whatever mental scars it may have brought you. So yeah, good luck with your duels, and we will be seeing you around."
With that said the guys all left to save Mai, Tea, and Serenity.
"This has to be one of the strangest days of my life," Akiza declared.
"Yeah, it's not every day we meet someone that scary," Leo added.
"I think he might be the scariest person we've met so far," Luna stated.
"So, should we go look for people to duel now?" Yusei asked.
"I suppose so," Jack replied.
"Okay, let's go then," Yusei said.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Carly and Kaiba were walking around Domino now looking for people to duel.
"So who should we challenge today?" Carly asked.
"I don't really care who we challenge," Kaiba stated. "We're going to win either way."
"Well, glad to see you don't lack the confidence Seto," Carly said sarcastically.
"Shut up Carly," Kaiba said.
"You're so mean," Carly stated. "I'm depressed and you're mean to me."
"You can handle it," Kaiba replied. "You put up with me all day."
Carly just started laughing at this. "That I do," she said.
"Hey Kaiba," A familiar yelled.
Kaiba and Carly turned around to see an unexpected yet familiar face.
"Bandit Keith?" Carly questioned.
"I thought he was dead?" Kaiba asked.
"No, he Marik found him," Carly confirmed. "He was robbed of his soul, but he got it back."
"If you two are done right now," Bandit Keith interrupted. "Kaiba I challenge you to a duel."
"Are you serious?" Carly asked.
"You bet I am," Bandit Keith replied.
"Fine, but you're going to regret challenging me," Kaiba declared.
