Chapter Seven
Bakura stood in front of the mirror looking at his image with critical eyes, the black jeans and black button down short sleeve shirt making his colouring more striking. The spirit smirked, finally content with his appearance and walked out of his room and headed for the living room to wait for Yami's arrival. Today was the day that the meeting took place, and as much as he wanted to deny it the spirit could not help but feel a strange sensation curling in his stomach.
"Okay this is no problem, just a meeting and if they don't like me," Bakura took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "If they don't like me there are other jobs out there." The spirit shifted nervously, nerves slowly making themselves known. Bakura jumped slightly when the doorbell rang and the white haired spirit ran tot he door and opened it. "You're late!" Yami glanced at his friend with little concern shown on his face and walked passed into the living room and took a seat on the couch.
"Bakura you are taking this way to seriously," Yami commented. "I thought you said this would be a piece of cake, it's just a meeting right? And if you can't handle this, what makes you think you can handle working there?" At the comment roan red eyes narrowed and Bakura's back straightened, no one, Pharaoh and friend or not, insulted his ability in doing anything he wanted.
"I can do this, and easily, unlike you Pharaoh," he spat out, crossing his arms in front of him and glaring at Yami. Yami smirked knowingly and stretched, black jeans fitting closely to his frame and gray shirt lifting slightly to reveal taut abdomen. "Now let's go, we haven't got all day," Bakura turned and began walking towards the door not bothering to look behind him for if Yami followed. Yami stood and followed the taller spirit in an easy pace.
"Where's Ryou? Does he know where you're going?" The inquiry had Bakura's back stiffening for only a moment yet Yami still caught the sign of tension. "Problem, 'Kura?"
"He was gone when I woke up," revealed Bakura in a subdued tone, his eyes on the ground. "Ever since he told me to get a job he's been, I don't know, distant? Cold? He sure as hell hasn't been acting like he used to," Yami's eyes widened in surprise at the revelation and worry crept into crimson eyes as he gazed at his friend's dejected expression. "I'm worried Yami, something is really bothering him."
"I'm sure he'll tell you when he's ready, maybe it's just stress, for all we know." Even as the words left his mouth the spike haired spirit knew that it sounded lame, a sorry excuse for unexplainable actions, and Bakura's shoulders slumped, eyes still downcast. "Come on, we'd better hurry or we'll be late, we can talk about this after the meeting, sundaes, my treat." Yami smiled at Bakura who cheered up marginally at the mention of his favourite treat.
"Promise?" Bakura said, his eyes widening to resemble closely his light's and his face took on an innocent look that, as it always did, unnerved the Pharaoh to no ends.
"Yes...now stop that," muttered Yami, moving slightly away from the other spirit. Bakura's smile instantly returned and he began walking with his characteristic arrogance, his eyes directed straight in front of him.
"So...ready for this?" Bakura asked as the two stood moments away from their destination, the white haired spirit licked his lips trying to look nonchalant, and looked sideways at his companion who looked decidedly unruffled. Yami looked up at the taller teen and smirked, his answer unspoken but heard clearly. Bakura's eyes narrowed in annoyance and he sneered causing a few bystanders to back away in fear. "All right bitch, let's go." Yami rolled his eyes and followed as Bakura stalked towards the entrance of the game shop.
"I'm not a bitch and I don't appreciate being referred to as one," Yami complained, pulling the door handle and walking in Bakura in his heels. Upon entering the shop Yami's crimson tinted eyes widened, the store was aptly named as he looked up at the ceiling and the far wall. There, on the ceiling, in all it's magnificent glory was a mural of the Blue Eyes White Dragon, it's wings flared out behind it, neck arched in a silent roar of victory. The far wall contained another mural, this time of all three Blue Eyes, in repose, the deadly beasts looking as calm and content as kittens, yet holding the dangerous air that they always seemed to possess. "Amazing," he whispered in awe, Bakura merely nodded and continued his perusal of the interior of the building.
"You think that's amazing, maybe you should check that out," Bakura commented, motioning to a wall with his head, silvery white hair falling over his shoulder. Yami turned away from the dragon and looked at one wall, again his eyes widened, this time accompanied with a smirk at the sight that greeted him. The Dark Magician stood in an arrogant pose, his eyes blazing with a mysterious fire, a smirk playing about the usually stern lips.
"I will definitely enjoy working here," Yami murmured as he scanned the other walls and saw various other monsters. The Celtic Guardian stood proudly next to the Dark Magician, the opposite wall holding the Change of Heart, demonic and angelic wing flaring out, an unseen wind blowing it's hair in all direction, and next to the magic card's image was the Flame Swordsman, and an image of D. Human was also depicted on a wall, it's glacier green eyes intent, dragon tooth sword held firmly in its grasp. "I wonder who painted these, they're beautiful," he wondered out loud studying the walls intently.
"The owners are the only ones who know, everyone else was left in the dark," a voice suddenly said, startling the two from their examinations.
"Fucking shit hole!" Bakura exclaimed moving quickly to Yami's side, his stance rigid. "Who the fuck are you? And what the hell are you trying to do sneaking around like a rat?!" The figure moved out of the shadows revealing a man wearing a business suit.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you, but I assume that you two are here for the meeting of the employees?" Yami and Bakura both nodded warily eyeing the man. "Very good, Mr. Moto, and Mr. Kageshi, I'm assuming?" Again the two nodded, relaxing slightly, yet still cautious. "The others have already arrived and you two are the last to make your appearance, the manager will be here in a few more minutes, so if I may ask you both to follow me." With that the man walked down the isles towards a door Yami and Bakura following stranger.
"I better not have to wear what that guy is wearing or I swear I'm out of here in a flash," Bakura muttered under his breath Yami the only one to hear, and nod his agreement. The man led them to the back of the store where they were met with the sight of Joey sitting on a couch reading a magazine and munching on a cookie. "What the fuck is he doing here?!" Bakura asked, in bewilderment. Upon hearing the familiar voice Joey snapped his head around and his eyes widened.
"Yami! Hey man, you workin' here too? That's a relief I thought I'd be alone here," said the blond his grin wide.
"Please take a seat," said the man in the suit, motioning to the free seats in the room. "The manager will be here in soon." Then without another word the man exited leaving the three on their own.
"Wait," Bakura said holding up a hand and getting the attention of the two others in the room, "are we the only one's here?" Joey and Yami looked at the spirit and nodded slowly. "Do either of you realize what this implies?" Joey cocked his head sideways and scratched his head, and Bakura could all but see the question marks floating over his head, and Yami merely lifted a brow. "The guy who called me said this meeting is for those who will be working together, so that means that we're the only employees in this place, or we'll be working together. What the fuck kind of game store is this to only have three workers?" Bakura asked no one in particular.
"Bakura you're over reacting again, will you calm down? I'm sure once the managers get here they'll explain everything," said Yami confidently. At that moment the door opened once again and Yugi walked in a big smile plastered on his face as the Bakura's eyes widened in surprise, Yami paled and Joey threw his slight friend a confused look.
"Good afternoon guys, how are you all today?" Yugi asked politely, taking a seat across from the three and looking at them with his customary smile.
"Errr.... Yug, what're ya doin' here man? You workin' here too?" asked Joey as Yami and Bakura remained silent.
"Yeah, actually I am," replied Yugi with a secretive smile, and a sly glance towards his dark half.
'Oh Ra no,' thought Yami, fear clasping his stomach in a cold grip. Bakura watched the petite light with narrowed red-brown eyes, a thought flitting through his mind causing his colour to pale even more.
"Ra, no," he said out loud catching Yugi's attention, who turned large purple eyes towards him.
"Oh yes," he said before giving an uncharacteristic, slightly mad, giggle. Joey's honey gold eyes took on a slightly wild look as the thought going through the two spirits' minds went through his own, and he resisted the urge to turn tail and run as fast as possible out of the game store away from his little friend. "I am your manager, the other group has another manager, I'm sure you'll meet him at one point along with the others who work here," said Yugi still smiling his eerily manic smile, reminiscent of Bakura's own. Bakura turned to Yami his left eye twitching at the information and the other spirit could do nothing but shrug in acceptance.
"So, Yugi...you're our boss?" Joey asked uneasily, giving a weak laugh still fighting the urge to run for the hills, which was nothing short of impossible because there was no real hill in the city at all.
"No, I'm in charge of making sure you guys do your work, but I don't own the store if that's what you're asking," said Yugi fighting the urge to give another round of hyperactive giggles.
"So, who do we work for?" demanded Bakura, wanting a name so he could find the mortal stupid enough to put the sugar happy light in charge, and hang whoever it was by their entrails.
"Oh well, you see Bakura that's classified information. When I was asked to take this job I was also asked to keep the owner's identity a...surprise for the workers," Yugi stated, his smile still firmly in place.
"Isn't that against some sort of law?" asked Joey, not liking the idea of working for some nameless character, for all he knew he could be working for Pegasus, or worse yet by far, the money bags knows as Seto Kaiba. "Don't we got a right to know who we're workin' for?"
"Well, I don't know Joey, I don't think there's a law against that...hmm I wonder," replied Yugi tilting his head sideways a contemplative look on his face. Bakura smiled as the two mortals conversed, devious thoughts of how he could find out whom he worked for forming in his mind. Yami remained silent also watching his light and friend as Joey tried to convince the smaller teen to give him a clue on who the owner was, hearing a slight chuckle from the white haired spirit next to him Yami turned slightly and looked at Bakura with a raised brow.
"What are you thinking?" he asked acclimated to the other spirit's unusual ways, thought patterns, schemes and criminal tendencies.
"Nothing Yami," Bakura all but purred, his customary 'I've got a plan that's sure to get me and anyone around me arrested' smile firmly in place. Yami gave the taller spirit an unbelieving look, his crimson eyes shinning with silent laughter as Bakura's smile widened. "So shrimpy, I mean Yugi, are we done here or do you have more to tell us?" Bakura ignored Yugi's growl at the unwanted nickname and waited patiently for a reply.
"Well, running the game shop won't be easy but I was told to give you guys these to read," Yugi said with a scowl directed at Bakura, producing three booklets and giving one to each in the room. "I guess they just expect you guys to learn as you go along, but don't worry I'll help you out anyway I can since I'm gonna be there, just come to me if you have any questions." Joey opened the booklet and riffled through the pages, stopping now and then to read a few lines before muttering something under his breath.
"Great! Move it Yam-boy, we're headin' out!" said Bakura jumping up and smacking his friend on the head with his booklet, which he had taken time to roll up as Yugi was talking, Yami glared at the overly exuberant spirit rubbing his head and stood muttering under his breath before turning to his smaller half.
"Would you like to come with us Yugi?" he asked politely, half hoping his light would agree, half hoping he would say no in case what Bakura had in mind was scarring or dangerous. Looking at the Tomb Robber's expression Yami regretted making the offer at all since the taller spirit had his manic smile firmly in place telling him that indeed what the other had in mind was not something he wanted his small, gentle light exposed to. Smiling Yugi shook his head apologetically at his darker half.
"I'm sorry, Yami, but I have to do some things so I can't," Yugi said his wide eyes directed at his dark, glancing at the blond who was still looking through the booklet Yugi's eyes brightened with an idea. "Why not take Joey with you guys? Since you're all going to be working closely together soon I think it would be a great idea if you spend some time together." At the suggestion Joey's head snapped up and his eyes were instantly drawn to Bakura's face, which still held the unnervingly maniacal smile, and the blond could not help but gulp as a shiver ran down his spine, as if someone had walked over his grave, which he wouldn't doubt if he was to be within twenty feet of the Millennium Ring's spirit for more than fifteen minutes.
"Err...nah, I think I'll pass Yug, I got...ummm...plans...yeah. Plans," muttered Joey nervously, standing and inching away from the three who now watched his every moves like hawks waiting for the kill, or in Yugi's case, a pigeon looking at an interesting...thing. Before the blond could bolt for the door a strong arm fell over his shoulder and Bakura pulled him close before he could even think to evade.
"Nonsense, the more the merrier," he said smoothly leading the blond towards the door with a final wave to Yugi. "Come along Yam-Yam, we've lots to do." Yami sighed at the new version of the much-hated nickname and followed giving his light a smile. Joey on the other hand was trying in vain to dislodge the pale arm around his shoulder and failing miserably, forcing him to follow the steps of the spirit.
