Chapter 11:Busted

Bakura threw the door to Seto's room open. He caught him typing madly. Bakura frowned, flew over to the computer, and pushed Seto off his chair.

To His Most Exatled Lordship Vladimir Dracul,

It has come to my attention that Marik has been brought back to Nox Castle. I am quite certain I-

Bakura glared at Seto and grabbed his neck. "BASTARD DIE NOW!!!!"

Seto clawed at Bakura's hand but to no avail. He managed to choke out, "Lemme esplain!"

Bakura threw him to the wall and was on him in a second, pinning him to the floor. "Talk snake!!!"

The rest of the Clan had come in and were watching with wide eyes.

"Listen, Bakura, I was trying to get information from him!"

Bakura would have laughed outright if he wasn't so angry. "OH!!!! Is that so? By giving off OUR TOP SECRET INFORMATION!!! VERY smart!!!!"

Seto glared at him, "I had to do SOMETHING! Anyway I was lying! I told-"

Lucifer rolled his eyes and spoke in his thick, Egyptian-accented voice, "JUST KILL HIM LORD!!! HE'S A TRAITOR!!!!"

Bakura slammed him into the wall again and was ready to slash his head off when Shadi spoke.

"He's telling the truth."

Bakura froze in mid-slash. "WHAT!!!"

Lucifer echoed that, "WHAT!!!"

Shadi continued looking at the floor, "He's not lying ... he did lie to Vladimir, though .... He told him you had Marik as your ... slave. He tols him Marik was situated in Las Noches. Seto didn't know Marik was going back to the mainland so he thought it safe to say the address, but when he found out Marik was gone he sent another letter saying he had the wrong address. But by that time Vladimir was already in Domino Town .... he was only trying to help, Lord Bakura. He does not deserve death."

Bakura blinked and took a deep breath. Lucifer rolled his eyes.

"So what did Mr.I Own The World, find out about Vladimi?" asked Lucifer.

Seto frowned, "They plan to attack the castle, they want me to betray you that night, to pretend I was your ally and then reveal my true colors when they arrive. The attack is set for tommorow. They're bringing all seven clan members. We're outnumbered, Bakura ..."

Bakura frowned, "We have time ... to ask for help ... to other clans."

Seto shook his head, "The other clans are weak!"

"IT'S THE ONLY CHANCE WE'VE GOT!!!"

Suddenly Seto's computer beeped. He stood up, "It's an E-Mail."

To My Most Trusted Man,

Plans change, money is doubled, you will be second in command. The attack is tonight, at midnight.

Sincerely,

Vladimir Dracul

Bakura froze, "It's fifteen to twelve ..."

Seto kept staring at the screen, "SHIT!"

Then Bakura snapped back to reality and took control of the situation. "BAR ALL THE WOINDOWS!!! LOCK ALL DOORS!!! SECURE EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY IN THE CASTLE!!! Seto, secure the back! Lucifer, the towers, Shadi, the front, Duke, the drawbridge. Pegasus, you make sure everything else is sealed, including the dungeons! GO!"

Bakura flew to his two private towers and sealed them shut. He barred the windows with the tickest steel he could find. He sealed all the doors. Then he flew back down to the main hall. The huge clock in the main doorway chimed midnight.

Seto whispered, "At seven ..."

The clock chimed a third time.

Bakura frowned and got ready. "We fight to the death! Till Morte!!! Till death! Are you with me!?!?"

The clock chimed a fifth time as the rest of the clan got ready as well and said, "YES!!!"

Then came the seventh chime and they came.

They burst through the wall of the back. Vladimir led them. He smiled, "We meet again, Bakura ..."

Bakura narrowed his eyes, "Yes ... we do ..."

Marik tossed and turned in his bed.

"Malik! I took you in!!! I helped you!!! Malik please!!!! I love you!!!"

Malik turned around, "Vladimir! YOU KILLED MY FAMILY!!!! AND YOU'RE KILLING MY CLAN!!! AND YOU'RE DESTROYING MY HOME!!!! I HATE YOU!!!! GET AWAY FROM ME!!! I BELONG TO BAKURA I CLAIMED HIM AND WAS CLAIMED!!!! SO THERE!!!! FUCK YOU!!!"

Marik moaned once and woke up with a start as he heard a crash.

He sat up and jumped out of bed. He heard voices.

'Vladimir! He's here ...'

Marik cautiously went outside and hid behind the banister on the stairs, where he could watch everything.

Bakura spoke again, "YOU BASTARD!!! You killed Abrahm!!!! AND HEKHETI!!!!! And what hurt me the most ... Malik! You make me sick! Asshole!!! ASSHOLE!!!! NOW WILL YOU FACE ME LIKE A MAN!!!!"

Vladimir laughed and Bakura glared at him with hatred.

"I killed Abrahm, Heketi, and Malik ... yes ... quite true ... but now you have Marik, no? AND YOU killed Scar! So ... poor Scar ... he was a good informant of mine too ..."

Bakura's eyes widened, "No ... him too?"

"DUH!!!! How do you think I know so much, right Seto?"

Seto smirked, "That's right! I'm tired of the 'Morte' Clan Bakura ... I am now a Dracul ..."

Lucifer growled, "YOU BASTARD!!! I ALWAYS KNEW YOU'D DO THIS!!!!"

Seto laughed and walked up to a vampire on the Dracul side. His name was Igor. Seto knew him as the one who'd personally killed Mokuba five thousand years ago.

"It's time I showed my true colors, right Igor?"

Igor nodded smiling. Then without warning Seto slashed his head off. The only thing Marik saw was the flash of a blue trenchcoat and blood everywhere before Igor's head fell with a thud onto the previously spotless floor.

Vladimir narrowed his eyes as Seto calmly flew back to the Morte Clan. "So this is your decision, Seto?"

Seto glared at him, "As Lucy would say, I'm a Morte, BITCH!"

Lucifer grinned at Seto, who half-smiled back.

Vladimir nodded, "Very well Seto Kaiba! I'm proud ... but you didn't tell me there would be espectators."

Bakura frowned, "What are you talking about?"

Vladimir smiled as he motioned to Cerbus, then towards the stairs. "I mean I smell a human ... watching from the stairs ..."

A/N: Okee ... NO VLAD FOUND MAKKY!!!! R&R PWEEZE!!!
