Chapter 4
Bakura felt like he was walking on air. He was completely oblivious to anything or anyone on the boardwalk as he strolled around. He had a date. Sure he'd had dates before but none with a girl this interesting. He felt like he could tell her anything. He wanted to tell her everything. He was quickly pulled from his dreamy paradise by a voice that could cut through a block of lead.
"Bakura! Will you listen to me!"
"Sorry Mia." He suddenly became aware of her intense glare set on him.
"You look like you just got back from the happiest place on earth." She mocked.
"I did." He sighed but Mia was so wrapped up in her own things it didn't register.
"This place is so amazing. I've never had such a shopping spree!" She squealed and hopped up and down several times.
Bakura examined her for a moment. "You only have one bag." He commented. "That must be a record for you."
Mia snorted at the remark. "Please." She turned behind her. "Joey! Are you done lolly-gagging already?"
Suddenly from around the corner appeared a giant pile of bag with a pair of legs. Bakura walked over to it and cleared out a spot in the middle of it then said. "I guess she really does have you whipped."
"Watch it or I'll turn you into a human coat rack." Joey snarled from between the bags. Joey began to waltz over to Milana sitting in the 'tugger'. She eyed up the stack of boxes and bags Joey was carrying and gave a low whistle. "I'm going to need another cart. Be right back Joey." She took off down the street. Joey couldn't take it anymore and dropped all the bags.
"Joey! All of my things! Be careful." She screamed at him.
"If I'm not careful I'm gonna have a gigantic hernia." He shot back as he rubbed his sore back.
"Do you have no consideration for other peoples things?" She demanded.
"Do you have no consideration for other people?" He yelled back.
The two continued to argue but it was just background noise in the back of Bakura's head. He could care less. He did notice Tea, Tristan, Yugi and Yami all walking over. "Hey guys." He waved cheerfully.
"Hi Bakura. Glad to see you're in a better mood." Tea replied.
"Oh yes, you're not going to believe what happened to me I was." He suddenly strayed off noticing the very depressing looks on all four of their faces. "What's wrong. You two aren't out of the tournament are you?"
"No. Not at all." Yami answered. "We just.Ran into old company."
Bakura didn't understand. Then a large voice filled the air.
"Ha ha ha ha ha. It is good to see good friends once again." The deep voice boomed.
Joey stopped in mid argument. "Oh no. Not freaky fish guy." He moaned.
"I'm not a freaky fish guy!" Mako Tsunami said as he strolled between the middle of them. "What were the odds that I would run into you fine folks again."
"Obviously not slim enough." Tristan muttered under his breath. Mako was a great guy. He wasn't evil or anything they just found him really annoying.
"Ha ha ha ha. I'm so pleased that I get a second chance to duel against young Yugi here." He turned to Yugi who returned him a weak smile.
"It's good to see you too Mako." He said.
"Ha ha ha ha. Please all of you. I'm sure you are glad to see me again, as I am to see you. I invite you to the luau as my guests. I will make sure you get all the food you desire." This comment was more directed to Tristan and Joey.
"All right!" Joey brightened up. "That's what I'm talkin' about!"
By this time, Milana had returned with a second cart and Joey loaded all of the bags into the back. Everyone piled in and they headed back to the house to get ready for the luau. Yami leaned over to Bakura's ear. "You better tell me what happened with you and that girl from the beach." He whispered.
Bakura wasn't even surprised he knew. Yami always knew. It could be irritating at times. He whispered back. "I'll tell you when we get back to the house."
CJ walked in the door of a little home secluded on one of the smaller beaches on the main island. As she walked in a thick wall of smoke hit her. She hated the fact that her brother smoked but there was no way to convince him to stop.
"Hey Billy." She said as she passed her brother who was leaned back in his chair.
He was playing cards with his friends with a cigarette propped in his mouth. She thought it would look strange to see him without one.
"Hey kiddo." He replied. "How was your day?"
"Good." Was all she said.
"How's that kid I saw you with?" He asked without even looking up.
She stopped in her tracks and spun around. "You were watching me?" She began to feel her blood boil.
"I have to keep my eyes on you. You're my meal ticket. Can't have you running away or running off with some boy."" He set down his card and looked her in the eyes.
"I'm not going to run away." She replied. "You've made that pretty much impossible anyway."
Billy snapped his fingers and the two other men sitting at the table, hopped up. The larger of the two grabbed CJ and pulled her against his chest while wrapping his arm around her neck.
Billy stood up and got his face close to hers. "Don't talk back to me you little bitch. I was sent along to take care of you."
She laughed. "You mean you CAME along to TAKE ADVANTAGE of me." She shot back. The arm around her neck got tighter and started to cut off her air.
"Don't talk back! You know what your purpose is. Say it!" He shouted into her face.
She replied in a lifeless manner. "To surf."
"Good girl. And that's it. Not run off, not talk back and not run off with some snot nosed 17 year old boy!" He snapped.
"His name is Bakura!" She shouted out of anger.
Billy's face changed from recognition. "Bakura? Ryou Bakura? The boy with the millenium ring?" He seemed to calm down a little bit.
She soon realized her mistake. "No."
"Oh yes I think it is. Which means his little buddy Yugi with the millenium puzzle is around too." He took a deep inhale of his cigarette and blew smoke in her face. The wheels in his head were spinning. She'd seen this before. "Those things are worth a pretty penny if I remember correctly. I guess this boy could be useful after all."
"I won't let you hurt him." She hissed. Her feet were no longer touching the floor.
"You'll do as I say!" His face began to grow with anger again. He tried to calm himself a little. "You'll do as a say and nothing else or I'll cut you out of the picture permanently." He blew another puff of smoke into her face causing her to cough.
"Then who'll be your meal ticket?" She asked.
"Once I have those millenium items I won't have to worry about a meal ticket." He answered.
"So either way I'm dead." She stated.
"Not if you behave." He grinned. "You're still family. I'd take care of you."
"Gee. Thanks." She felt more hate for him right then than she ever had in all of her life. She had to hide it though. She was still very scared of him. She'd seen what he could do to a person and she didn't want to be next. But she really liked Bakura. She couldn't hurt him. She'd have to worn him tonight at the luau. As much as she knew it would probably scare him away. She had to tell him to keep him safe.
At The Beach
The whole beach was lit up with bright lights and loud music filled the air. Up on the stage a group of hula girls moved to the music while onlookers stared.
"Sorry to break off from you guys but I gotta go talk to the chicks." Joey straightened his hair. "I've been working on the perfect pickup line and it's just guaranteed to work." He straightened out his T-shirt and walked off. "See ya!"
Bakura could see the hurt in Mia's eyes. Deep down inside this was really bugging her but she was doing her best to hide it. He then turned to the beach babe that was holding onto his arm. She looked up and gave him a big smile, which made his heart melt. She then started tugging on his arm. "Come on already. I'm starving. Let's get something to eat." The happy couple walked off towards the food line up, leaving everyone else behind.
Everyone else stood for a moment in absolute awe at what was all around them.
"Hey!" Tea spoke up. "Let's go take a look at the entertainment up on the stage over there." She pointed to the stage full of dancing girls. Everyone began to walk forward but Triston strayed behind. It isn't fair. He thought to himself. Why does Bakura get the pretty girl? That was supposed to be my thing. He then noticed a large punch bowl sitting on a table about ten feet away from him. He decided he was a little thirsty and got himself a cup, which he greedily drank down. It always happens like this. He drank another cup. Even Joey has Mia. He's too thick headed to realize it but he does. He drank another cup. It's not like I want Mia. I actually can't stand her but I just want.Someone to call my own. He had another two drinks. Some one to call me their own.
Bakura and CJ had got plates full of food and found seats by the front of the stage. The hula dancers had finished and a tall man with jet-black hair stood up on the stage. He had deep set brown eyes and a gorgeous smile. "Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome!" The audience cheered in response. "My name is Kimo and I will be your host tonight. We have a great show for you. Some of our finest performers have came out tonight and we have loads of competitions set up for you to win prizes." Another burst of applause filled the air. "So sit back and relax and enjoy the next part of our show!" He walked off the stage and a group of younger looking boys walked up with two sticks each. They then ignited the ends of each and began to toss them between them and dance in multiple formations.
Bakura leaned over. "Wow they're really good." CJ nodded as she bit into a chunk of pineapple from off of her plate. He asked "What is it like getting to travel all over to beaches and see sights like this all the time?" She gave a half hearted smile as if it hurt to think about it but the lack of light the flames provided made it hard for Bakura to see. "It's great." She answered. "I love travelling all over and getting to surf all of the time." She fell silent. She knew she had to tell him. Soon. "Bakura?" She asked.
"Yes?" He looked into her eyes.
"I." She tried to tell him but she couldn't bring herself to it.
Suddenly she felt his lips on hers. The warmth from them shot through her body like fire. All of the worries she had melted away. She gently stroked his hair with her hand, then wrapped her arms around his neck. Sensations went through him at her touch. He's never thought he could be this forward but she just did something to him. He pulled away but kept his forehead against hers, their noses were nearly touching. He spoke softly "You were saying?"
"I.I need to speak to you about something later. Something important." She said. It was the best she could do for now. He was too perfect.
"Me too." He whispered softly. "Let's just have some fun for now thought okay?"
"K." She smiled and gave him a quick kiss on the end of his nose before pulling away.
The pyro dancers had finished their act and the audience applauded them off the stage. Kimo returned to the stage. "Wasn't that great everyone?" The audience cheered. Now we have.Hey what's that noise?"
A deep rumbling noise filled the air and soon the ground began to shake.
"What on earth is that?" Bakura stood up and helped CJ standing up. Suddenly people could see dust and shadows flying from the eastern end on the beach. The images soon became more clear. It was Joey and he was running in terror from a pack of angry looking beach girls. He bolted past Bakura and jumped up onto the stage for safety. For some reason this slowed the girls down. They started talking and some started giggling. Joey wanted to know what was so funny but he was still scared stiff of all the angry girls. His pick up line had the opposite effect he's thought it would have.
Kimo walked over to Joey. "Well, it looks like we have a volunteer for our next event." He wrapped an arm over Joey's shoulder. "What's your name kid?"
"Joey Wheeler." He replied.
"Tell me Joe. What did you do to make all these girls so angry?"
"Well I was just being friendly and they took it way out of proportion." He demanded.
This infuriated the girls and they began shouting and yelling names at Joey.
"Calm down ladies. You can have him after. That is if he wimps out of this next event." Kimo gave him a reassuring look. He was giving him an out but he knew there was a catch.
"What do I have to do?" Joe asked.
Kimo reached under the back curtain and pulled out a grass skirt. "We're going to call back our dancing girls and you're going to dance with them. If the audience likes what they see then you win a prize!"
"NO WAY!" He shouted.
Kimo shrugged his shoulders. "Fine. It's your choice. I guess you'll have to get off the stage then."
Joey turned to leave but saw the sea of angry girls at his feet. There was no way out. He turned to the host. "Fine."
"Fantastic!" He thrusted the skirt into Joey's hands. "Put it on and let's get this started!"
Joey put on the dress. Then he felt something else in his hands. Kimo had just passed him a coconut bra. He looked into the audience. He saw the whole gang rolled over on the ground laughing. Thanks a lot guys. He thought to himself. He eventually forced himself to put it on and stood in the center of the stage. The girls from before entered the stage and surrounded him on all sides. He was then pushed up front and center. The music began to play and the girls began to dance. Joey was frozen to his spot. "Start dancing or you'll never win Joe." Kimo warned him from the side of the stage.
Joey gave in and began to move to the rhythm. First his hips, then his feet, then his hand. The audience burst with laughter and applause for the helpless boy up on stage. Even the pack of angry girls was getting into it. He thought to himself. This isn't so bad. He soon was getting really into it. Kimo broke in. "How about it folks? Should we give him the prize?" The audience responded with intense applause. "Alright Joey! You're a winner! Here's your prize 2 free tickets for a romantic boat ride around the islands and dinner." He held out the tickets to Joey.
Joey took the tickets. "All right!"
"Oh and you can keep the skirt." Kimo winked at him. "It looks good on you."
