Chapter 15

Bakura began digging through his closet with speed enough to rival any youkai. Everything that didn't amount up to his expectations was thrown across the room. After about five minutes of this frantic searching, Bakura had finally discovered an ensemble that suited his tastes. Carrying an extremely dark blue shirt and black slacks along with a pair of black dress shoes ( all stuffed into a backpack), he opened his window and crawled out of his room. As soon as he hit the ground, he started his mad dash to Marik's house.

Ten minutes later, Marik's house

Marik- "Where the hell is he? It's 5:45 already! Doesn't he have to be at his house at 6:30? And it takes 15 minutes or so to get there, and I'm not lending his my bike!"

Yugi- "Umm... calm down, Marik. Maybe he just got changed at his house and is waiting there until 6:30, so he won't be late."

Bakura- "Yeah, right. Like I would sit outside for an hour while those prats get dressed and cover their faces with nasty makeup crap."

Joey- "Hey, is that what you're wearin', Bakura? Weren't you going somewhere fancy?"

Bakura- "You think that I was going to run several miles in nice clothes? Hell no! Just shut up and move, so I can get to the guest room and change, okay? Idiot?"

Joey- "Hey!" All in all, he moved, and Bakura donned his more formal attire, looking, all together, much better than the rest of the crew, most of which were going somewhere informal. Especially Marik, who was excited to go to Chuck E. Cheese's with his sister (I reiterate, he's making up for his pathetic childhood by doing stupid crap when he's what? 16?).

Yami- "Okay, to get plans organized and perfectly clear with everyone. Bakura and Rei are going to some mystery restaurant, Kaiba, Mokuba, Duke, and myself are going to spend our time at the arcade, Marik and Ishizu are going to go to.... Chuck E. Cheese's.... , Ryou and Alys are going to a local cafe, Joey and Mai are eating at Burger World..."

Marik- "Nice choice, dimwit."

Joey- "Hey! Shuddup! You're not doin' much better, going to Chuck E. Cheese's with your sister!!!!"

Yami- "Stop! I was talking!!!! Very well now. Tristan and Serenity are having dinner at Serenity's house with her mother and Yugi and Tea are also going out to eat. Therefore, everyone meets at Domino Movie Theater at 8 o'clock so we can see M Night Shamalan's "The Village". "

Yugi- "Um... Excuse me, Yami... but isn't that a really scary movie? Should... umm.... Mokuba be watching that?"

Yami- "Mokuba will not be accompanying us. He's going home before the movie starts."

Yugi- "Oh...."

Bakura- "heheh... stupid, frightened, little mortal. Scared of a movie?"

Yugi- "Shut up! Umm... Shouldn't we be leaving now? It's 6:13...."

Bakura- "Yeah, fine. Way to change the subject."

Bakura's house, 6:30

Bakura rang the doorbell, and when no one answered he simply pounded on it. When, still, no one answered and no noise came from inside, Bakura took out a small black leather case from his pocket and opened it, revealing assorted lock picks.

Yugi- "Bakura! You can't do that! What if they're changing? And don't you have a spare key or something?"

Bakura- "No. I don't. Why have something like that? Someone could easily find it. Not to mention, if they couldn't hear me knocking, they're obviously unconscious or not within earshot. Besides, what would you care?"

Therefore, Joey, Yugi, Tristan and Marik waited while Bakura used a certain combination of picks to open the door (Ryou was already gone to pick up his date, Alys, from her own house). Bakura gestured them to come inside.

Joey- "Hello? Anyone home?"

Mai- "SHUT UP! WE HEARD YOU!"

Tea- "We're almost ready!"

Serenity- "Be down in a minute!"

After about 15 minutes of the boys standing around, raiding the kitchen, and lounging in the living room, four girls came downstairs. Mai was wearing her usual attire (I don't feel like describing it), and Tea was wearing a pink and blue striped shirt and yellow miniskirt. Serenity was wearing a soft blue sweater and a conservative black skirt. Ishizu was wearing somewhat normal clothing (not her Egyptian attire from Battle City) of a red, long sleeved shirt and black pants.

Tea- "Okay! We're ready to go!"

Joey- "Why'd it take you so long!"

Serenity- "Well, we all helped Rei get ready first."

Bakura- "And, where is Rei exactly?"

Mai- "Last time we heard from her, she said that she was going to pick her own clothes. Then she went up to her room and we haven't heard from her since."

Joey- "Well, up you go, Bakura."

Bakura- "What?"

Joey- "If we don't leave soon we'll be late, so we're going. And since she's your woman, you go and find her. Okay? Okay. Bye!" All 4 couples walked out the door and Yugi closed it quietly with an apologetic look on his face, trying to make up for his best friend's stupidity.

Bakura- "Damn it all. Damn it all to hell. Ra... what do I do now...." Soon enough (a couple seconds later), Bakura began his walk up the stairs to the upper floor. He walked leisurely down the hallway until he reached Rei's door. He tapped on it and called in. "Hey, Rei? It's time to leave, you know. I hope you're decent because I'm coming in..." Bakura took out his beloved lock pick set, then a voice interrupted his work.

Rei- "It's open. Come on in." Bakura hesitantly opened the door to see Rei, dressed in her short black dress with kimono-style sleeves and a red flower pattern on the left shoulder, right sleeve and at the end of the skirt, the same skirt that Bakura had taken from her closet during his "stuff rescue mission". Her hair was done up in a somewhat elaborate bun with stray wisps of hair framing her face and black hair chopsticks adorning her red-tipped blonde hair. She had painted her nails red, and had red lipstick and a soft red eyeshadow. She was also wearing black, medium-size heeled sandals. Bakura was slack-jawed. Quickly regaining his composure after noticing her little smirk, he shot his question at her.

Bakura- "What took you?"

Rei- "What a thing to ask. How rude, Bakura-san. Terribly sorry for not coming to the door though. I simply fell asleep a short while ago, therefore messing up my hair. After hearing you and Joey yell and scream, I woke, thank you, and therefore had to re-comb it. That's what took me so long. Good enough for you?"

Bakura- "Sure. Good enough for me, I guess. Ready to go then?"

Rei- "Yes, in fact, I am."

Bakura- "Good. And, I want to make this perfectly clear, you can have whatever you want. Okay? I've got it covered."

Rei- "Of course you do. And I suppose that other people's misery fund's our night?"

Bakura- "Misery? Certainly not! I was helping them. Those terrible wallets and purses were much to heavy, and I simply relieved those mortals of their burdens! They benefited! Several thanked me! I'm sure of it, they just didn't thank me to my face."

Rei- "Good. I wouldn't have it any other way."

Bakura- "Very good. Shall we?" He gestured towards the door.

Rei- "We shall."

Bakura- "Ladies always first." Rei walked through the door and waited for him to close the door.

Rei- "Amazing, I would have thought that the famous Tomb Robber from Ancient Egypt had less manners than this. I suppose that even tomb robbers have some sense of chivalry?"

Bakura- "Of course we do. One: Leave plundering the inner tombs of the Queens to female thieves. Two: Don't take whatever treasure you find that is touching a dead man's body, it probably smells terrible, prices go down. Three: If someone scars your face, kill them. Four: If someone scars your woman's face, kill them, and their family."

Rei- "Amazing. So noble." By this time, they had reached the front door, and Bakura locked and closed it.

Bakura- "Aren't we? And I was the most noble of them all. And, of course, I got the best prices." They began their trek downtown.

Rei- "And why was that, Bakura-san?"

Bakura- "I always followed the best and most respected rule."

Rei- "You're stalling, Bakura-san. What was it?"

Bakura- "Always carry a blade."

Rei- "Sounds simple enough."

Bakura- "Well well, is someone intrigued by the art of stealing from the deceased?"

Rei- "Quite. But, what intrigues me even more, is how exactly a Tomb Robber from Ancient Egypt came to inhabit a house in modern Japan, and still holds the form of a teenage boy."

Bakura- "I have been meaning to ask you about that as well." Rei smirked, a tiny glint of mischief graced the bright green of her eyes.

Rei- "About what? As far as I know, I'm no ancient spirit from a long-fallen civilization."

Bakura- "Don't jest about it."

Rei- "Why don't we talk about it later, hm? At this mystery restaurant you say that you're taking me to? Are we going to walk all the way there?"

Bakura- "Of course not. If you don't care to notice that you're wearing high heeled sandals, I do. I refuse to have to carry you all the way back. Besides, I was so kind this afternoon to those pathetic mortals, I plan to reward myself for my labors. I just haven't gotten the time yet. Ah! Here we are..."

They had arrived at a rather fancy car dealer. Nearly all the cars that they had were above $40,000. (I dunno what that is in yen, sorry. I also dunno what is considered a really nice car in Japan, so I'm going to use what little car knowledge I have. Prepare to be disappointed.) Bakura marched righted into the showroom and confronted a rather bored looking salesperson, obviously thinking that Bakura and Rei were just idiotic teens looking at the cars for amusement. The middle-aged man was quite surprised when Bakura appeared in front of him with a look on his face that practically screamed 'You stupid mortal, pay attention to me or suffer for the rest of your days in the darkest depths of the Shadow Realm, worthless human. Bow to me.'

Bakura- "Hey! Listen, I want a car."

Salesman (name-tag thing says "George", well, not really but we'll just call him that, like you have any choice....)- "Yeah, whatever kid. Go ask your mommy if you can borrow the family mini-van."

Bakura- "You misunderstand... I want a car. I'm getting a car. You are going to sell me a car. Now. Got it?"

George- "Y-y-y-yeah... okay, kid..."

Bakura- "And don't call me 'kid', I am certainly no child."

George- "Y-y-yes sir! Which car would you like... sir?" Bakura glanced around for a second, and then turned to rei, who was watching the scene with silent amusement, which could only be seen in her eyes.

Bakura- "See anything you like?"

Rei- "I'm fine with anything, as long as it's not yellow or green."

Bakura- "Got it. No problem with that..." He took another glance around the lot. Finally he fixed his gaze on a new black convertible Porsche with black leather interior. He turned back to the salesman, pointing at the car. "How much for that one?"

George- "T-t-that one, sir? That's a Porsche 911 Turbo. You can't possibly afford that one! Sticker price is $115,000! (No yen, sorry) "

Bakura- "I can't afford that one? Hmm... and here I was sure that I had that much.... Don't you like that one, Rei-chan?"

Rei- "Stop toying with the moron's mind, Bakura. It's your cash, isn't it?"

Bakura- "Of course it is. All thanks to my saint-like nature and willingness to help another human being in need... Are you sure that it would be impossible for me to buy this car, Sir?"

George- "Unless you've got one-hundred fifty thousand bucks in your pocket, boy, I'm positive you can't buy that car. Now, stop annoying me and leave before I call security."

Bakura- "Oh! Of course, sir. I'm not trying to annoy you, sir. I would just like to buy this car! And, if that's the only reason why you don't think I could buy this car, because I don't have to money, well, sir, that is easily dealt with!" Bakura pulled a small black wallet out from his back pocket, and took out a check. "How much was the car again, sir?"

George- "One-hundred and fifty thousand, delinquent."

Bakura- "My, my. I thought that customer service people were supposed to be nice to their customers... One-hundred fifty thousand..."

He scribbled out the numbers on the piece of paper, and handed it to Sir George the car salesman. George glared at the white haired boy with the nearly crimson colored eyes, and put the check through the machine, waiting for the opportunity to call security on this brat. To his surprise, the check was readily accepted.

George- "What??? Who the hell are you, kid? You're not Seto Kaiba! Where'd you get the cash?"

Bakura- "I do odd jobs for the good of mankind. It just happens to pay well." Rei began to snicker at their private joke. (btw, I also dunno how car sales work. Obvious, huh? I'm just being lazy. I don't wanna do any more research on cars.)

George reluctantly held out the keys for Bakura, still suspicious of the white haired teen, who was smiling disarmingly at the man.

George- "Are you even old enough to drive, kid?" In a split second, Bakura was grasping the neck of the man's button-up shirt, lifting his off the ground with one hand. He snatched the keys with another.

Bakura- "Listen, mortal. I already told you that I am no child. Never question me. Never. Yes, I am quite old enough to drive. I suggest that you let me have that car, which is my car, now, thank you. Then I will drive away from you and your ever-expanding cloud of stupidity, and you will quite possibly never see me again. Now, are you going to let me leave quietly?"

George- "u-u-u-u-uh....."

Rei- "Bakura, it would probably help if he could breathe." Bakura dropped him unceremoniously.

Bakura- "Now. Let me put it in ways that you'll understand. I am leaving with this car. If you do anything stupid, I will make your remaining life quite unpleasant." Understand, moron? Now, I'm leaving, or we'll be late. Any last questions?"

George- "N-n-n-no....... H-h-have a n-n-n-nice drive.... s-s-s-s-s-s-s-sir....."

Bakura and Rei turned away from the stammering man, walking leisurely towards Bakura's new car. Rei glanced back with a tiny grin and waved two fingers at him in acknowledgment. Bakura led Rei over to the passenger side and opened the door for her. Rei slid in and Bakura strode over to the driver's side of the car and climbed into his seat. He started it up and drove calmly out of the parking lot.

The perfect driver, that's what Bakura was. Rei was toying with her hair while he was blaring Linkin Park on the stereo as they drove downtown. Eventually, Rei turned to face Bakura, and the only way he could tell that she was speaking was that her lips moved and obviously shaped words. He turned down the stereo.

Bakura- "What did you say?"

Rei- "If you didn't have the music turned up like that, you would have heard what I said the first time I said it, no?" Bakura shrugged.

Bakura- "Sorry. Now, are you going to tell me what you said, or do I have to guess?" He smirked at her.

Rei- "Wise ass Tomb Robber. I said 'did you get all of that money at one time.' The cops might get a little suspicious if you steal it all at once, you know."

Bakura- "Of course I know that. I knew that when I was a toddler. I just take a gold and diamond pendant here, some ruby earrings there, a couple wallets that are far too heavy every other day or so... everything in moderation."

Rei- "Necklaces and earrings, Bakura? So, is breaking and entering on your list of crimes committed in this century?"

Bakura- "With all of that wonderful technology that you 'modern people' have come up with? Of course not. Far too many ways to get caught. I keep my thievery to the street."

Rei- "So you steal earrings off of people walking down the street, do you?"

Bakura- "Of course. Most people nowadays are quite unaware of their surroundings. Not to mention that they're absolutely idiotic. Who in their right mind would wear diamond necklaces or carry thousands in cash? It's quite easier to steal right off of the person. Then you can hide in the masses of thieves that reside and work in Domino. It seems that the only intelligent rich person here is Seto Kaiba. He doesn't carry more than he really needs, and isn't absolutely oblivious to his surroundings. Most people are."

Rei- "I'm not."

Bakura- "Really now."

Rei- "Really. In fact, if I'm so oblivious to everything around me, why did I notice that you have, in your right hand, my upper-right earring? And, that you stole it nearly 5.32 seconds ago."

Bakura- "And how do you figure that?"

Rei- "My secret. In fact, I'd believe that you're the oblivious one. Seeing as I happen to have removed three hundred dollar bills from your wallet, quite a while ago. At the car dealer, I believe. When you, such the gentleman, opened the door for a lowly thief like me."

Bakura- "Really now? And where have you hidden this lovely little prize?"

Rei smiled slyly and pulled out one of her hair chopsticks. The odd thing was, she pulled a small black cap off of the end, and pulled out three, tightly rolled, hundred dollar bills. (or something in yen). She replaced the cap, and put the ornament back into her hair.

Bakura- "What a lovely hiding place..."

Rei- "Now, would you like them back, or should I keep them?" She waved the bills like a fan near her face. Bakura held up her earring.

Bakura- "How about a trade?"

Rei- "Why not?" She held out the cash to him. "Trade." Bakura returned the earring.

Bakura- "Thanks."

Rei- "Whatever." (Yeah, somehow, 'Kura is still driving the car through all of this... Like I said, the perfect driver.) He finally turned into the entrance to a huge building. Bakura opened his door, got out, shut his door, and walked over to Rei's side. He opened her door for her, and tossed his keys to a valet. (If they don't have them is Japan.... I have no clue. Sorry. This is pretty mush an American story set in Japan, in name only. Isn't it?)

Bakura- "Well, we're here. Shall we go in?"

Rei- "We shall." ...........................................................
