Chapter II: Spree!
~~~~BAKURA POV~~~~
Ah, malls. Stores. My kind of place! Nothing better than "window shopping" for a master thief!
So I was browsing the bookstore, seeing if they had anything I might be able to read- fat chance! I could hardly read demotic script in my time!- or at least funny cartoons, when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I spun, ready to whack someone, but saw nothing. I heard a snap, and looked down. Oh. The Pharaoh's hikari.
"Yeah? What do you want?" I growled.
He raised an eyebrow and grinned slyly. "What would you say to a business proposition?"
"What? I'm sorry, but the only damn business I do is stealing!"
He nodded. "That's it."
I narrowed my eyes. The self-righteous Pharaoh's even more irritatingly goody hikari? "I don't do chump thefts!" I turned and walked out of the bookstore, but he was on my heels.
" But what do you say about ¥9000?"
I whirled again, bending over and glaring into his eyes. "Why would I want to steal anything for you?"
"I can make it worthwhile."
"Yeah. And I'm a samurai. The only thing that would be worth that trouble would be your puzzle!" I grinned, trying to freak him out so he'd leave me alone.
He fished something out of his pocket. A Polaroid photo. He held it backwards in front of my face. "If you steal something for me, I'll let you have a copy of this!"
I rolled my eyes, blowing some silver hair out of them. What was it? Some dumb porn photo of that whore, Anzu? A picture of the puppy, Jounouchi, making a baka out of himself again?
He slowly turned the photo towards me, and I suddenly found religion. Yugi was Ra himself!
"Where the hell did you get this?" I demanded, trembling with cruel glee. The Pharaoh himself, on top of Kaiba, smooching the billionaire's brains out!
"Plan to get money for object I want. Didn't work, so I had a backup plan. I knew you'd do anything to get something like this!"
The kid was right! A perfect blackmail picture. It was so close I could taste the Pharaoh's blood! "Name your target! I'll steal ANYTHING to get that!"
"A collar from Spencer's. Like mine, but with crimson gems studding it. Looks really wild. Got a way to get through glass?" I scoffed.
"Does Kaiba have money? I'm a robber!" He nodded sharply. "Anything else?"
"No, that's it."
"It's yours! Kid, I owe you!"
"Great! We'll swap treasures at school Monday. Then, unless you get caught stealing it, we won't get caught."
I let out a hoarse laugh. Me, caught? "It's as good as around your neck!" I winked, giving him the victory-sign before casually sauntering into Spencer's. Just in time! A fight! Between the Pharaoh and Kaiba, no less. I stood back, enjoying every second of this. The Pharaoh had Kaiba by the throat, and the billionaire had Yami-Yugi's head snapped back, pulled by his spiky multicolored hair. Looks like the King's affections were less than welcome! I mused, clutching my stomach to keep from splitting apart with laughter.
The commotion distracted the counter-girl, and she ran out, screaming for security. My chance! Ducking behind a shelf, out of the range of that corner's camera and hidden from the other side's one, I threw a paperweight and smashed the camera I was under. Making my way around the combatants, I snuck under the other camera and busted it with a coffee mug. Now that I was in the clear, I ran over and kicked the jewelry case down. Avoiding touching anything- I may be from the past, but I've learned about fingerprinting- I snagged the jeweled collar, stashed it in my sweater, and bolted, pretending I was terrified of the fight. In my haste, I slammed into the security guard. Thinking fast, I spluttered, "Kaiba just attacked Yami! Please, stop them before they kill each other!" The guard nodded and ran past me into the shop.
Whew, I sighed. But why did I say the Pharaoh was attacked? Hm. Probably 'cause I owe his hikari, and it won't do either of them good if he's busted for assault. I chuckled. That photo was mine!
