Chapter 7: Hello, World! Look at Us!

Bakura and Jinoto tip-toed inside through the back. Jinoto's heart was racing. She was so nervous she could barely breathe. In the front of the building, Isis' voice boomed with anger.

"I have come today to talk about those two world thieves. Teenagers yes, but I find them extremely dangerous." A few people chuckled. "Do not laugh, remember, my younger brother has been put in critical condition because of these two! He has suffered a serious back wound from a stab in the back."

People gasped in amazement. "At least twenty people have been attacked by these teens. Two of them dead. This was in one day." Some of the victims' friends began to cry. "I myself was attacked. It was an attack so brutal I dare not even think it." Isis bellowed into the microphone.

Bakura looked quintessical. "She's rather dumb. She would have felt some pain if I really..." Jinoto put a finger over his lips and listened.

"I still cannot shake the memories of the knife held under my nose, my wrists bound together and my fear. I want the man Bakura arrested and executed for his atrocities!" She slammed her fist on the podium and a low mummur began as she paused.

"Good job Bakura. You're getting yourself killed for outsmarting some woman." Jinoto muttered.

"And as for Jinoto. If she has anything to do with murdering and attacking innocent people as well, I want her dead!!"

"Crap." she whispered. "Come on. We better get that scale and get out of here." They got to the second floor where the millenium item was. It wasn't guarded.

"Maybe the guards are downstairs." Jinoto said.

Bakura looked up and said, "Stop." A camera was about to see them. Bakura disabled it. They removed the case and snuck the scale into their backpack. The partners were just going down the stair when security walked back to the back door.

"Shoot. There's only one way to go." Bakura said.

"Through the podium." they mumbled.

"Wait a minute. I think the scale is a fake." Jinoto realized. She took it out and tapped in lightly. It made a hallow ooh sound. "It's painted bamboo!" Bakura whispered.

"Good job!" A man said. "You figured it out. And your prize is to go to jail!"

The two turned around. The manager and three policemen stood over them.

"Uh-oh." Jinoto said. She threw the bamboo at them.

Bakura took out some marbles from his pockets and rolled it on the ground. The police had already started their chase and slipped over them.

"Come on!" Bakura shouted and took Jinoto's hand. They grabbed an overhanging banner.

"Go!" they yelled together. Jinoto and Bakura swung down the banner. It wasn't very strong and fell from the ceiling. They landed on their feet--in front of the podium. Their faces were being aired all over the world live. People gasped at their enterance.

"Uh...Hi everyone!" Jinoto smiled in the cameras. Bakura gave a quick wave. Isis looked at them in shock. She was still scared of Bakura. Isis also had control of the guards' actions. She didn't say anything so the police did not move. Bakura threw some more marbles at the reporters who were running for them. Everyone in the room fell and stayed down. It was a huge mess. Bakura and Jinoto lunged for the low-hanging chandilier. They swung from that and jumped out to the door. No one got up or ran after them. They had made a clean get away.

One reporter stood after they left. "There you have it! These two have knocked down everyone without the use of their fingers." she bent down and picked up a marble. "But these did. Rounded smoke bombs that probably were deactivated. Both Bakura and Jinoto have gotten away and destroyed the Millenium Item Conference with Isis Istar. I'm Connie Chung for 20/20 signing off. Back to you Jeff."

Jinoto and Bakura ran down the street, even in the thick traffic. They kept on going even though no one was chasing them. Finally the two collapsed in a heap by the old railroad station.

"I can't believe we've been tricked! We barely made it." Jinoto panted.

"I had to give up my marbles though. At least those were the cheap kind!" Bakura said with a smile.

"I should have known, though." she whispered. "You didn't turn evil when we saw it."

"Oh yes. That was a big clue, wasn't it?" Bakura scratched his head. "But I found this." He held a tour guide of the museuem. In big letters an exibit's name was written: "Millenium Item Exibit Closed. Moved to New York, USA."

"Come on, then let's go!" Jinoto cried.

"Are we going to sneak on to a plane this time?" he asked. She nodded.

"We better hurry." They rushed off to the airport.

"Whada ya mean they were just here??" Joey roared. Tea translated him.

"They used marbles to knock everyone down and ran off!" a reporter exclaimed.

"My friend, Yugi, had something very dear and important from him stolen. His millenium item was stolen by Jinoto when we first met her." Tea explained. Five cameramen came up and filmed her. "We came here from Japan just to get it back. It is my friend's life that he has lost. We don't know Jinoto's intentions, but we need it back. Bakura was also a close friend of us. He is willingly aiding her. I just wish everything was back to normal. I don't us all to live in fear, wondering if we're the next people to fall under them. If they can hear me now I want to say please stop it. Stop what you're doing and come back home." Tea finished and a loud applause went up. She, Yugi and Joey walked back to Tristen. They sped off, looking for they next plane.

Bakura and Jinoto sat in the plane's back. "How many times have we done this?" Jinoto asked. Before Bakura could answer the storage door opened. "I don't care how desperate you are! You are staying in the back." someone yelled. They hid behind some crates. Yugi, Tea, Joey and Tristen landed on the floor. Jinoto opened her mouth but Bakura put a hand over her mouth.

"Gee, that guy was sure nice." Tristen said.

"He didn't have to be so mean." Yugi wailed.

"How could he throw a pretty girl like me?" Tea exclaimed.

"What pretty girl? I don't see any." Joey said.

"Maybe because you won't have any eyeballs when I'm through with you!!" Tea yelled.

"Be quiet guys. We're going to be in big trouble." Yugi whispered.

Everyone lowered their voices.

"I can't believe Bakura betrayed us like that. He was my friend." Yugi mumbled. Jinoto looked at Bakura. His face didn't change.

"I hate her. She acted all nice and then she took your puzzle." Tea said. Jinoto frowned. They shouldn't have been so trusting. She thought.

"I really want just wake up from this bad dream." Yugi began to sob. His friends came closer to him and whispered solemly. Jinoto shook her head. She couldn't help feeling sorry for him. "What a pathetic lot." she whispered.
"I'm getting a cramp. Let's move around. I mean we are the only ones here." Joey stood up. Jinoto was horrorfied. She put on her blanket sarong and Bakura smacked on a fake mustache and a turban.

"Oh! I thought we were the only ones here!" Tea said in suprise.

"Hi!" Tristen said. Bakura and Jinoto did not wave back. They shrugged, pretending they didn't understand their language.

"I guess they must not know Japanese." Yugi said. Tea rolled her eyes.

"Yugi!! Not everyone speaks Japanese. I told you before. Maybe...." Tea talked to them in English. They still shrugged, even though Jinoto spoke English, as well.

"I guess we can forget it." Joey said. They plopped back down in their seats. Bakura, Jinoto, and everyone else fell asleep. Jinoto began to have a strange dream....
