Chapter 3: A long and welcome visit
Me: Ok, here's Chapter 3!
Toki: Send in some fanart! Come on, puh-leeze?
San: Yeah! ^_^ Just nothing gross, okay?
After everyone got in the van, the cabby pulled out of the lane and hit the road. Everyone was staring out the window at all the sights, except for Misaki, who was being lulled asleep by the van's gentle rocking motion. After driving on the side roads, the van drove onto the Royal Bridge. Mai looked out the window, and turned a little green in the face. Joey looked concerned, "You all right?" "I'm fine," she said quietly. The cabby was about to make the exit, when some teen-agers driving on the opposite lane, suddenly swerved out in front of them. There was tense moment when the van seemed to be out of control, but the driver hit the brakes and they took the next possible exit.
Finally, they came into a fair, tree-lined avenue with large townhouses on either side of the street. The van pulled up to the sidewalk, and the cabby said a bit roughly, "That'll be $45.75." "Do you take Visas," Tristian asked. The cabby grunted a response, and accepted, although he had wanted cash. Opening the trunk, he assisted everyone with his or her luggage, and he drove off.
After all was said and done, all that was left to do was go knock on the door. Yami was holding Tea and Misaki close. Before his and Malik's final duel, Bakura had abducted Tea, and was planning on keeping her as a captive, until Yami saved the day, with help from the gang, of course. Malik had been annoyed that Bakura had failed, and as punishment, he broke the Millenium Ring. Of course, that had been a few years ago. Yugi volunteered, and rang the doorbell. A young woman w/ black hair answered the door, "Oh, you must me Bakura's friends. Please come in. I am Raye Hino, his accountant." Everyone entered. The front hall was nicely furnished with paintings from 19th century Europe and some odd assortment of items neatly placed in shelves and niches.
Bakura walked down the stairs, and his face lit up when saw everyone. "Hello," he greeted them. Everyone said hello, and Bakura nodded to Yami and Tea. "Who's this," he asked, looking at her little ice-blue eyes, which were starting to droop at this point. "This is Misaki," Tea smiled at her sleeping daughter, "She's a month old." Bakura nodded to the parents; "She looks like Tea." She blushed, and Yami smiled a bit. Yugi nodded, "How are thing here in England, Bakura?" "Things are going well. Father has left me in charge of everything, while he goes abroad." Then he said suddenly, "I have an idea. Why don't I treat everyone to dinner and to the Royal Theatre for The Nutcracker." "Sure," Tristian pointed out, "But isn't The Nutcracker have the same old storyline?" "Not this version. It follows closer to the real story, and Clara's 15." "Oh, yeah," Serenity said excitedly; "in the book, Clara and the prince get married!" "That sounds romantic," Tea said dreamily, and she imagined herself as the lead. Yami sweatdropped when he noticed she was humming the Waltz of the Flowers softly. He held her close and kissed her tenderly. Tea snapped out of it, and blushed deeply. Misaki cooed a bit. Bakura walked back in the room, "I've bought the tickets. There is a gourmet buffet at the theatre. Showtime is at eight, so we should leave now.' This being said, everyone left the townhouse and headed for the subway station.
Me: chapter 4 will be good! I don't own Sailor Moon.
Toki: Don't forget to send in fanart!
San: Read and review folks!
