Chapter 3, Not the Bathroom

Bakura is still walking through the halls.

Bakura- "Hey! What's the big idea?! I followed her directions perfectly! Just the 5th and the 6th doors on the left were both closets, the 5th door on the right too! And the 6th door on the right was a hallway so I, genius that I am, go down it! Guess I just start opening doors...." Bakura opens the door at the very end of the hall. It softly creeps open and Bakura peeks in. It's a dark room with black lights and black and blood-red paint on the walls, black splattered with the red paint, to be exact. Linkin Park, Hybrid Theory was playing softly in the background. "Hey, my favorite band.... what room is this?"

Soft, annoyed voice- "It's my room." Bakura jumped about 2 feet in the air.

Bakura- "Who's there?!"

Voice- "So, you can't see in the dark... Pretty pathetic for a tomb robber... and you expect me to actually believe that you stole from the Pharaoh? Well, both halves of him are rather stupid, wouldn't you say? At least, now they are..."

Bakura- "Uhhh.... excuse me, but as you stated, I don't see in the dark, so, is there a light in here?"

Voice- "Oh wow, he remembers the remarks of 30 seconds past, unlike Emi.... she has the memory span of a goldfish...' Soft ceiling lights fade on, revealing more black with red splatters, and what resembled a bedroom,.... or a vampire's lair.... There was a small fireplace with a full sword set above it (Katana, wakisashi, tanto) a queen sized bed with aa huge headboard, looking like something straight out of the European Middle Ages.. a deep blue desk in the corner held a laptop and a duel disk. Two other doors led out, one, seemingly to a closet, judging by the clothes inside and the pair of combat boots next to it. A dark, mahogany dresser stood next to the bed, a small hand mirror on top of it, face down. The closing of a drawer drew Bakura's attention back to the desk, and beside it, an unnaturally pale, blonde girl with bright green eyes and a very bored expression on her face wearing a black tank top and black cargo pants.

Bakura- "R-...r.. Rei?!"

Rei- "Yes?"

"what're you doing here?!"

"I should be asking you the same thing... This is my 'apartment'... Lovely, isn't it? I decorated it myself, can't you tell?"

"You seem to be very fond of sarcasm......"

"Yes... It amuses me in the least... Good thing that the other residents of this place are too stupid to notice or care... Even so, an adequate opponent would be a welcome change."

"Why don't you just call them your family? Isn't Emi your cousin?"

"Heh, Family gives a k'so about what happens to you."

"They don't?'

"Was my name ever mentioned around the two 'adults'?'

"Yeah, they kind of... glared at the door and said that you wouldn't be joining us for dinner and..."

"I never do"

"What?"

"Eat with them. It disturbs both of us."

"Why?"

"...Now aren't we all of questions we shouldn't be asking? Your Egyptian mother ever tell you not to pry? I don't suppose she did, seeing as you love to pry open the tombs of the dead, no?"

"I never knew my mother.... she died in childbirth..."

" Then consider yourself lucky... What did you come here for anyway?"

"Oh! um.. I-I was looking for the bathroom..."

"Emi gave you directions, neh?"

"Yeah..."

"That idiot... Here, just use mine... come on, little British Tomb Robber...." Rei said with a small smirk on her face.

"Hn..." They walk through the 2nd door and into a somewhat small kitchen and a little hallway. Rei opens a door on the right somewhere, and it's a bathroom.

Rei- "I trust you can find your way out?" She begins to walk away.

Bakura- "Yeah, ok.... umm Thanks?" the kitchen door slams. "Kuso.. she has some serious issues".. "and a seriously nice body.... ACK!!! Why am I thinking that?!'
