CK: YAY!!!!!! Thank you, you reviewers, you kind and wonderful
people!!!!! I would hug you, but this IS the internet, which provides
problems for that...........anyway, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To SweetCandie: Hehe........yeah, Bakura ought to be punished VERY VERY badly....muahaha, I'll have to think of something too.....I definitely can't wait to see what you come up with!....and also, don't worry, I don't seriously get depressed over reviews or anything, I just get a little bitchy......((^ ^;;;;;))
To Kabuki: Yeah, I looked over the dream sequence later, and it definitely wasn't as good as it maybe it could have been. And even though Bakura's blood-lust is a big deal, Yugi and the gang aren't really involved this chapter.......
And one last thing: I know that I have a habit of putting stuff in my story for no reason, or very little reason, but I PROMISE-promise-promise- promise-PROMISE that there is a reason for what happens in this chapter. If this didn't happen, then a some stuff that comes later wouldn't be set in motion, and the climax would eventually not happen.......just a little FYI....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter 14: Memento Mori
Bakura crouched down around the corner from Pegasus's room........the hallway he was in was a mere twenty feet from Pegasus's door. He peered around this corner, waiting for any signs of movement, hoping desperately that the bitch would wake up first......she would most likely take the other hallway in order to go downstairs, and if she didn't.....well, he wouldn't have much of a reason for being there, but he would soon have the fun of a double homicide on his hands........
He even had the details all figured out.........just simply covering his mouth with his hand, and a quick gash through the throat..........even if Pegasus had the presence of mind to bite at his hand so that he might scream for help in his death throes, by that time his throat would be filled with so much blood that he couldn't make a sound, and after a few minutes of thrashing about, his corpse would litter the ground......
And Bakura would be safe in his room by then.......no one would have an alibi, and who would suspect him? Yugi and his friends all thought the Ring was gone, why would they even turn to think of him....?
((A/N: Since I haven't been keeping track of Yugioh for the past few months, I don't know if this is true anymore, and I've only seen the Japanese versions of episodes I've seen in English (not my fault!), but, like I said before, this takes place right after Kaiba is rescued from that video game.....))
Hmm.....this job was rather simple, compared to some of the others that Bakura had done........normally, he had time to get creative, say, pillage the victim's house, or leave with one of their limbs carried under his arm......the least he could do under normal circumstances was cut off the man's dick and watch him squeal for a while..... But now was not the time to reminisce about the good old days, he had to be alert, or he'd slip up...... Bakura's ears perked up soon.....he heard footsteps.......
Cecilia stepped out of her bedroom wearing a bathrobe over her nightgown, closing the door behind her gently. She turned to the left, away from Bakura.......soon, Bakura heard what sounded like footsteps treading down a flight of stairs.... He waited a few minutes so that she wouldn't be able to hear any noise he made, then he crept into Pegasus's room..........
He grinned. The bastard still slept.....this would be all too easy. Really, murder gets boring without any sense of a challenge. But, sadly, with so much risk here, it was out of the question. This wasn't ancient Egypt, it wasn't as easy to escape confinement these days........... Pegasus, half-asleep now, sensed movement......Cecilia had just left the room, and since he was a light sleeper, he'd sensed it somewhat......but there was more movement now, and it wasn't Cecilia.....
Bakura took out the knife and raised it in his left hand......his right hand hovered an inch above Pegasus's mouth, so as not to disrupt Pegasus's sleep.....when the knife had done its work, then he could use his hand as a gag, but not a second before.....and not a second after......... The knife felt comfortable, familiar in his hand......Bakura felt the joy of the kill all over again, even before the blood was spilt.....he always felt like a snake........keeping the kill still with your gaze, until you strike, making it the last sight that they would ever see.......
Poised, tense, he was the snake, ready to strike.
Pegasus listened to what he thought was a mere nothing......but even while he was half-asleep, he still wondered.....that wasn't Cecilia there, he knew her footsteps were light and quiet, these were heavier and made the floor boards squeal underneath them.....so who on Earth.....?
Pegasus's eyes snapped open a mere second before Bakura's blade began its strike, giving him barely enough to time to grab the blade to prevent his own eternal slumber.......... The rage that pulsed through Bakura's veins was equally matched by the fear and desperation in Pegasus's own.......why? Why now...? Cecilia was here, he was happy, after so many years of going through life an empty shell of hatred and despair, why now........?
After a few seconds, Pegasus kneed Bakura in the stomach, making him fall against the wall. Bakura was soon on his feet and lunging wildly at Pegasus with the knife. Pegasus kept trying to dodge the blade, but there was only so much room, and Bakura's rage gave him adrenaline and speed..........Pegasus fell backwards, and Bakura took full advantage of the fact........he used his right hand to try and hold his neck still, and with his left he raised the knife.... Until...... Footsteps........ Shit..........
Bakura immediately shoved Pegasus inside of his closet, his hand firmly planted over his mouth as a gag, the knife dangerously close to Pegasus's throat......Bakura went inside and closed the closet door.......Pegasus was beginning to bite his hand, and it stung like shit, but Bakura didn't even flinch...he couldn't mess this one up, he wasn't spending the rest of his hikari's life rotting inside of a prison..........
Cecilia walked inside, looking around confusedly...."That's strange....I could've sworn I heard....." She shrugged, then began to make the bed, quietly and carefully....
Bakura was using so many swear words that he could make a sailor blush if he wanted to.........he knew that his resolve was holding up, Pegasus's bite was drawing a lot of blood, what a mess that was going to be..........Bakura thought quickly, since he knew that hikari was supposed to leave that day.....and he wasn't going to be able to find Pegasus alone again, not after this, not without him carrying a concealed weapon.....
He hissed into Pegasus's ear. "If you rat me out.....if you tell anyone, ANYONE, about the Eye, about me, about what just happened.....she'll be in the grave while the coffin's still warm....understand???" He pressed the blade so close to Pegasus's neck that a small trickle of blood began to trail down his neck.....
Pegasus's eyes widened......that was it.....that was why............he nodded quickly and Bakura let him go.
Cecilia, still making the bed, slit her eyes.........that little cretin.......she had heard exactly what he'd said. And he thought she didn't know.....................
To SweetCandie: Hehe........yeah, Bakura ought to be punished VERY VERY badly....muahaha, I'll have to think of something too.....I definitely can't wait to see what you come up with!....and also, don't worry, I don't seriously get depressed over reviews or anything, I just get a little bitchy......((^ ^;;;;;))
