Chapter 3 - Lost In Domino
The lift mad it's way slowly to the entrance where the gang saw Rogue and Bakura starring at each other. "Is everything OK?" Yami asked.
"it is now" Bakura said, he picked his suitcase up and made his way to join the gang, avoiding Rouge's gaze.
"What the hell was going on?" Mai asked.
Bakura looked sadly down at his ring and Yami nodded, turning to Rogue he gasped. "oh. . .you again, I mean, hello again. . ."
Rogue did not answer. She picked up her own bag and looked down in some form of embarrassment. "Are you ok?" Bakura asked and for the first time in minutes their eyes met again.
"Yeah, I don't know what the hell your talking about half the time but I'm ok. . ." Rogue said, as her words became quieter she thought about someone possessing someone else. . .cool. "OH GOD! I BETTER BE GOING!" Rogue cried, and without warning she pushed past them all and ran off back to the café where she suspected Jessie would be.
"Wait!" Yami cried after her, but it was too late, she had already gone. I really really think there's something weird about her. . .but I don't know what! He thought to himself.
"C'mon Yugs, let's go!" Joey said. Yami vanished to reveal Yugi again.
"Can we use the stairs?" Bakura said shyly as they made their way along the hall.
Meanwhile Jessie was still trying to turn her phone off. She paced round the café and bashed it off the end of the counter. "OI!" cried a woman's voice from behind the counter. "What are ya' doin?!" a pale woman came face to face with the scared looking teenager.
"I was trying to turn my phone off-" Jessie said in a low status tone.
"Well, you can hardly do it like that, can you?" the woman said poshly. "now, I think you should go, don't you?"
"no" Jessie said, not quite understanding the woman.
"No? Don't make me call the manager! Look you ruined the food!" the woman pointed to a late cake that now had a huge hole it, the remands of it were stuck to Jessie phone.
"Honestly, don't get stressed, remember 'calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean'." Jessie said, smiling weekly.
"what? WHAT?" the woman looked ready to kill her when suddenly Rogue appeared and jumped in between them.
"What's going on here?!" she cried, not sounding surpassed.
"Do you know this girl?" the woman asked, pointing hopelessly at Jessie.
"Ye-"
"WELL KINDLY ESCORT HER OUT, SHE'S BEEN HERE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR CAUSING ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE!" the woman realised how lopped she was being as soon ass several heads turned to stare.
"o-k" Rogue said calmly, turning to Jessie. "we have to go anyway, remember we have to get to the car park, they've probably left without us but, we still better be going"
"Ok we'll use the lifts!" Jessie cried.
"no" sighed Rogue, we won't"
In a small cosy room, where a slight breeze rolled in from the slight open window, Peace was disturbed by the door opening and then slamming again loudly. Jessie and Rouge made their way into the room. They looked around at the blurry-purple room with king-sized beds, a games console and a HUGE tv, not to mention a big chest of draws and wardrobe.
"Wow Rogue, look at all this stuff" Jessie said, plonking herself down on the bed nearest the door. "Wonder if we get cable?" she looked around for the remote, which was placed on the bedside cabinet and began clicking frantically at the TV.
Rogue walked past her and fell face first on to the bed near the window. She was still thinking about how cute and dangerous that Bakura was. . .and how freaky it was that meeting her duelling idol (Yugi) would turn out to be scary.
"We do Rogue! We do, look!" Jessie was going ecstatic because she discovered that they had cable.
Rouge put their bags on the floor and kicked off her shoes. "I'm not unpacking, there's no point" but Jessie wasn't listening, she was entranced by the TV
"er.Rogue?"
"Yeah?" she said, starring at the TV.
"Where is the bathroom?" Jessie asked looking at the bathroom door.
"Jessie, you're staring at it."
"Oh. . . " Jessie sighed walking to it.
"I'm going to go out, Jess!"
Rogue left her apartment and looked around the hotel. Now where would he be? She thought to herself.
She made her way out of the hotel and into the cold night.
Meanwhile, while Rogue was walking on throughout the city, Jessie had already gotten changed and was watching TV.
"Boring." She whined changing channels. "WHY ISN'T THERE ANYTHING GOOD ON?!" She screamed.
"Well. . ." A voice startled her.
"AHHHH!! WHO'S THERE?!!" She yelled.
A platimnun blond haired boy appeared next to the window. He looked at her evilly holding his millennium rod in his hand.
"Oh, room service right? Where are the cakes?" Jessie asked.
"I'm not room service!!" He yelled angrily.
Jessie folded her arms and sighed.
"Then who the hell are you?! AND WHY ARE YOU HERE?!"
Marik sighed and shook his head. What was he getting himself into?
"Look, you worthless, pathetic excuse for a pathetic human being, I've come to take over your mind." He said holding up the millennium rod.
Jessie couldn't help herself, she had to laugh, and when she did she also burst out with; "Hahahahaha! What you gonna' do with that thing?" she cried, which was a mistake and possibly the last thing she said in a long time. Marik reached forward and waked her over the head with it. So she fell to the floor.
Meanwhile, Rogue was wondering mindlessly around Domino. She was sure, by now, that she was lost. Every road she came too looked the same, every Hello Kitty factory she passed smelled the same."Lost in Domino." she muttered to herself. "Ugh! Such a Jessie thing to of done!" she walked round a corner and saw somewhere she had never been before.
"Ooh, the turtle games shop!" she said, reading it's name from the glowing green lights above it. She opened the door and made her way in.
Behind the counter an old man was serving a woman and handing her a pack of cards. Rogue snuck into the shadows and looked at some of the cards he had on display. "Thank-you" she heard the woman say, but she didn't turn round.
She saw some cool cards, dragon capture jar, maybe she'd need that. . .or mystic sand, that's Jessie's best card. . . her thoughts were disturbed when she was tapped on the back by the owner of the shop. "Can I help you?" she heard him say.
"Oh sorry" she said, turning round. "Just looking"
The man's eyes opened wide and his expression changed to shock, he dropped some of the cards he was holding, but did not bother to pick them up. He did not say anything . . ."Yes?" Rogue asked, feeling puzzled.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"I'm Sakura . . .I'm sorry, I am allowed din here? I didn't mean-"
"Sakura?" asked Yugi as he came in from round the back. "Hi- again"
"Oh hi Yugi, what are you doing here?" Rogue asked, keeping one eye on the old man who was now looking at Yugi.
"I kinda' live here, this is my Grandpa!" Yugi made his way around to stand with them.
"Oh, hi Yugi's grandpa!" Rogue said sweetly, waving.
"Hello" He said as he bent down to pick up the cards he dropped. There was a short silence and they all stared at each other aimlessly.
"So. . .What are you doing here Sakura, or Rogue, or. . .Whatever you want to be called" Yugi asked.
"Well . . . to be honest, I'm lost" Sakura sighed. "I was staying at this hotel with my friend, and I went for a walk, and I'm lost!"
"Which Hotel was it?" Yugi's grandpa asked, he had now put the cards safely away.
"I don't know. I'm sure I could find it but it's too dark and-"
"why don't you stay here?" Yugi asked, "hey, is that OK Grandpa?"
"can I?" Rogue asked, wondr in her voice. "oh- Jessie-"
"Jessie? Oh your friend. Won't she be worried about you?" Yugi Grandpa asked.
"Who Jessie?" Rogue blurted out in surprise. "no, she'll be having a nice romantic even for two, with her and cable"
Marik circled the cage she was in and put his hands on his hips. This girl certainly wasn't an easy mind to control. Her mind was a jumbled thing- a very confusing mind. She was disturbed.
"Ugh. . ." Jessie regained consciousness and looked up shakily. She was in a cage. "WHAT IS THIS THE ZOO?!" She screamed getting up and looking at Marik. "And where are the cakes?!"
Marik groaned and rolled his eyes.
"Are you really that stupid?" He said coldly folding his arms.
"My friend will come and save me and then she'll kick your ass!" Jessie paused. ". . .and get the cakes!"
Marik was getting very pissed now. He held up his Millennium Rod.
"Well she can't be that caring of a friend seeing as how she isn't here! Now, I'm going to take over your pitiful mind!" He yelled triumphantly.
"NOOOOOOOOOO! Ok, that was over dramatised. . ."
"Er. . .yeah. . ." Holding up his Millennium Rod once again, he proceeded to take over her "pitiful" mind.
"WAIT!" She yelled.
"WHAT?!!!!" Marik yelled not fully understanding why he was bothering to listen to her.
". . .Um. . .if you let me out. . .I'll. . .make it worth your while. . ." Jessie said slyly but without another word he took over the caverns of her mind.
Rogue and Yugi were walking down the street. Yugi sighed deeply.
"I'm sorry about my Grandpa, he doesn't usually tell people to go away. . ."
"It's ok," Rogue smiled. "I probably should get back to Jessie, lord knows what she's doing. . ." Tears welled up in her violet eyes.
"Sakura?" Yugi asked worriedly. "What's wrong?"
She shook her head and said quietly, "He doesn't like me, does he?"
Yugi hated seeing people upset.
"Who?" He asked.
"You're Grandpa," She choked back sobs. "What did I do wrong?"
Yugi looked at her warmly. "Nothing he's just had a lot on recently." Yugi explained handing her a tissue.
They entered the hotel and Rogue forced a smile upon her face. She turned to Yugi and smiled.
"Thank you for bringing me here." She thanked him with a small bow.
"It's alright. . . hey, this is the hotel Isis is staying in!!" he said.
"Who's Isis?"
"Another one of my friends," Yugi explained to her as they walked up the stairs to her hotel room.
She swiped the card through the slot and accidentally realised she'd locked Jessie in the room for an hour.
"Oops. . .Oh well, bye Yugi." She said opening the door. Closing it behind her she turned to her room.
Jessie was standing by the window. She turned to Rogue.
"Sorry I took so long it's just that I got lost-"
Jessie showed her a knife and smirked devilishly.
"Jessie, you got the cake then?!"
The lift mad it's way slowly to the entrance where the gang saw Rogue and Bakura starring at each other. "Is everything OK?" Yami asked.
"it is now" Bakura said, he picked his suitcase up and made his way to join the gang, avoiding Rouge's gaze.
"What the hell was going on?" Mai asked.
Bakura looked sadly down at his ring and Yami nodded, turning to Rogue he gasped. "oh. . .you again, I mean, hello again. . ."
