Chapter Five
Aura's Army

Bakura had headed north as the group split up. Something was bugging as he walked. Aura's face kept flashing through his mind. He was standing right next to her in the crowd. Maybe that's why her face wouldn't go away.

"Why do I keep seeing Aura every time I close my eyes," Bakura thought aloud. He personally didn't understand it, but the person following him certainly did.

"Because you're forming a crush," a female voice said from behind Bakura. Bakura froze in his tracks. He was scared to turn around. He didn't want to face a duel this early in the tournament, but something made him turn around. He suddenly came face to face with Aura.

"Aura," Bakura said as he turned a slight pink color, "You really scared me. You know you really shouldn't sneak up on people." Aura smiled and nodded. She then walked next to Bakura. Bakura swallowed hard. He didn't know what to do.

"Well," Aura said as she straightened out her shirt, "what did you think of my answer to your question?" Bakura turned redder and looked over at Aura. Aura seemed to be a little shy. She was looking at the ground instead of Bakura.

"I think you might have a point," Bakura said with a smile. Aura slightly looked at Bakura and returned the smile. She then picked her head the rest of the way up and put out her hand.

"I think I should introduce myself properly then," Aura said with a bright smile, "I'm Aura McKinley." Bakura nodded and started shaking Aura's hand. He seemed pleased that Aura was nice.

"I'm Bakura Rayou," Bakura said happily, "and I'm very pleased to meet you Aura." Aura started to blush. She loved Bakura's accent. It made her feel at home.

"I propose we go somewhere else," Aura said as she let go of Bakura's hand. Bakura put a hand to his chin. Aura put her hands on her hips and waited for Bakura's thought on her idea.

"I agree with you," Bakura said as he held his arm out, "I say we go somewhere else too." Aura smiled cheerfully and quickly grabbed Bakura's arm. Both of them started heading toward the outskirts of the park.

A few minuets later, Bakura and Aura reached the outskirts of the park. They were both laughing and having a wonderful time.

"I told you," Bakura said with a slight laugh, "he's an absolute moron. He does that type of stuff all the time." Aura giggled slightly and hugged Bakura's arm a little tighter. Bakura turned slightly red.

"I'll have to meet your friends sometime," Aura said with a giggle, "They all sound really interesting." Bakura nodded and smiled all at the same time. He really liked Aura. It seemed like him and her had a lot in common.

"Awww...........," Weevil said as he appeared from behind a tree, "isn't that adorable, not! It seems like you're both Duelist." Aura and Bakura let go of each others hands. The both gave Weevil an evil glare.

"Yeah," Aura said as she put her hand on her hip, "we are Duelist, but what's it to you Bug Breath?" Weevil looked like he was going to crack up laughing. Aura didn't look as amused.

"Well," Weevil said with a slight snicker, "one of you've gotta duel me." Aura and Bakura looked at each other and then back at Weevil. They both looked outraged.

"Who's gonna duel this freaked out lord of thee bugs," Aura whispered to Bakura. Bakura blinked a few times and looked at Aura. Aura then blinked a few times.

"How 'bout you," Bakura whispered as he quickly glanced at Weevil, "I think even Joey could stand up to this guy. You should be able to cream him." Aura put her hand to her chin and looked at Weevil. She then let out a sigh and looked back at Bakura.

"I don't see a way of getting out of this," Aura whispered as she leaned a little closer to Bakura, "I guess I'm going to have to duel bugs for brain." Weevil looked like he was getting impatient. He started tapping his foot.

"All right," Weevil said with a stern look, "Who's going to be my victim." Aura started to glare at Weevil again. She then took a step forward. Weevil looked highly amused.

"I'm taken you on," Aura said as she activated her Duel Disk. Weevil snorted and activated his Duel Disk. Bakura looked at Aura. She looked extremely serious, as if she could rip Weevil's head off. Bakura liked that.

"Fine," Weevil said as he drew five cards, "why don't you go first. Maybe you'll get lucky." Aura glared harder at Weevil as she drew six cards. Five cards for her regular draw and one for the beginning of her turn. Aura then looked her hand over. A slight grin came across her face.

"I play Katana the Sword Mistress in Attack Mode," Aura said with a slight chuckle, "and three cards face down. That ends my turn." Bakura was about to cheer. Weevil would have to pull a good trick out of his web to get out of this one. Weevil was actually sweating. He drew another card and looked at his hand.

"I play this card face down," Weevil said as he shakily placed a card down, "and two more cards face down. I end my turn." Aura looked as if she was moments from laughing. She drew a card and looked at it with a baffled grin. It was a great card, but she was trying to trick Weevil.

"I activate my Trap Hole to destroy your face down monster," Aura said as he Trap Hole flipped up, "I also play my Sword of Deep Seated and Legendary Sword to power up my Sword Mistress. One more thing, I play Ax Raider in Attack Mode. Unless you have any good trap cards down, you're going to lose because I'm attacking. Katana and Ax Raider, attack!" Weevil grinned and flipped up a card.

"I activate my Negate Attack Trap Card," Weevil said with a snicker. Aura just crossed her arms and watched Weevil slid backward. Weevil regained his balance and watched his Lifepoints drop to zero. A look of pure horror crossed his face. He dropped to his knees in disbelieve.

"If you're wondering what happened," Aura said as she hinted toward a Trap Card, "I activated that. It's the Seven Tools of the Bandit. I may have lost thousand Lifepoints in the process, but really didn't matter now did it. I would of suspect more of a challenge out of you Weevil. That was actually disappointing." Weevil looked as if he was going to cry as Aura walked up to him. She put her hand down.

"According to new Battle City rules," Bakura said as he crossed his arms, "you have to give Aura your most powerful card and your Locator Card." Weevil put his head down and started searching his deck. He suddenly handed Aura the Insect Queen and a Locator Card. Aura looked kind of disgusted.

"This card has no place in my deck," Aura said as she placed both the Locator Card and Insect Queen in her back pocket, "My warriors would be insulted. I might find a place for her in my Side Deck though. I'm still disappointed too. Why didn't you put up a good fight?" Weevil looked up at Aura and then jumped up. He gripped his fist and rage.

"It's all because of Yugi," Weevil said with a snivel, "If he hadn't beaten me that time at Duelist Kingdom, I would still be at the top of my game." Aura rolled her eyes and walked over to Bakura. Bakura placed his arm around her shoulders.

"Whatever you washed-up-has-been," Aura said with a yawn, "Just because the King of Games beat you doesn't mean you lose your dueling ability. You just trying to cover up that you suck." Bakura slightly laughed as Weevil put his head down and started crying. Aura shook her head and started walking away. Bakura quickly grabbed her hand.

"Where are you going Aura," Bakura asked as he slowly let go of Aura's hand. Aura slightly smiled at Bakura and started walking again.

"I think we should go our own ways," Aura said as she put her hand up, "I have a feeling we'll meet back up at the Finals. I'm sorry we couldn't spend more time together. That was a pretty short duel. I was hoping it would last longer just so I could occasionally glance over at you for support. Well, see ya later Bakura." Bakura nodded and started waving. Aura let out a sigh, put her hand down, and disappeared into the shadows. Bakura stopped waving and looked toward the sky.

"Awright," Bakura thought to himself, "I've got a reason to make it to the Finals now. I will make it there too." A slight breeze blew Bakura's hair as he looked away from the sky and started walking into the park. He passed the sobbing Weevil without saying a word. The only thing that Bakura was worried about was getting to the Finals and seeing Aura again.

Amber – (looking through some papers)

Bakura – what are you doing

Amber – looking for something that says that Joey can't kill me or harm me in any way, shape, of form

Joey – (holding up a piece of paper) you mean this

Amber – 0.0 Joey

Joey – (taking a flamethrower out) yes sweetheart

Amber – put the flamethrower away

Joey – but this piece of paper is the only thing that stands in my way of murdering you

Amber – there's an agreement you signed (pulls down a document from the ceiling) that states you WILL NOT injure or murder the author of this story (lets go of the document and watches it snap back into the ceiling)

Joey – (drops paper and flamethrower) that a bunch of bullshit
