Well the first showing of the movie didn't start until 9:45 so we still had some time to kill.
"Hey Bakura, have you gotten any new cards lately?" Yugi asked.
"I'm not sure..." I said as I got my (well my Yami's) deck out of my pocket and began looking through the cards. Yugi's face quickly fell. Probably because he was trying to avoid talking about my other personality as much as possible. I looked at the cards (all dark fiends) and put them away.
"Look the same to me." I said trying to sound as if I knew what cards were in there before. Yugi looked at Tea signaling that she should start a new subject.
"So what do you think the new Freshmen are going to be like?" she asked.
"I dunno but if they're not like Joey then I guess they're ok." Tristan said jokingly.
"WHAT'D YA SAY?!" Joey yelled grabbing Tristans shirt by the collar fire flaring up in his eyes.
"Dude, it's a joke, LAUGH!" Tristan said.
"Guys calm down." Yugi said, "Hey Joey, isn't Serenity going to high school this year?"
Joey let go of Tristan and shook his head, "Naw, eighth grade." he said. My stomach suddenly twisted, that would be the grade Amane would be going into if she hadn't....
"Bakura are you ok?" Yugi asked. I hadn't told him or the gang about what really happened to my sister... actually they don't even know I had a sister.
"Yes, I'm fine. It's nothing." I said. Yugi gave me a suspicious stare and said, "Ok..." Then there was a small bit of silence.
"Well I say there are going to be little duelists waitin' for a thrashin'!" Joey said. Tristan rolled his eyes.
"What do you think, Tea?" Yugi asked.
Tea shrugged, "I just hope there's no freak trying to control the world." she said. If she meant for that to be a joke, none of us were laughing, none of us would even speak for a while. What Tea didn't want to happen probably would happen. I don't know how but it seems possible.
"I know what you mean," Yugi said quietly, "I don't think our peace is going to last much longer. I think they'll be after both of us, Bakura." I looked at Yugi. No one ever cared for my Ring. Only Father, Yami Marik, my Yami, and myself. Other than that I never worried about anyone trying to steal it. But then again, you need all seven items if you want to do whatever you do with all the Millennium Items.
"I think you're right." I said.
"Hey I know it's early but do you wanna head to the theatre now? We could get snacks and good seats!" Joey said. Yugi looked at me and I nodded in agreement so we began walking back to the theatre no longer talking about evil forces. Thank goodness we got off that subject.

Finally we were home (which is an apartment that is still rather new to me since we've only lived there about a month now). Dad, Rakster, and I unloaded the truck and went inside. The first thing we did was check phone messages. There was one for dad about computers, one for Rakseter from his friend, David, and a couple from my friend, Izumi. To describe Izumi in a quick way, she's been my best friend since the first day I met her in the second grade. She's also going to Domino High as a freshman this year and she is a great singer. Apparently she forgot that I was gone for the week because she called once wanting to hang, again because she was bored, and again to yell, "WHERE ARE YOU DAMN IT?!" (don't worry she doesn't curse all that much when we hang, when she's at home... I am scared to find out). Rakster called David and my dad went to go talk to the guy about computers (the guy doesn't live very far away). While Rakster was on the phone, I promised myself I wouldn't tell Izumi about the voice thing until I understood it better. She wouldn't understand and say, "You should write a song about it!" or "No more Linkin Park for you!" Either way this was my problem not Izumi's. I'll deal with it myself. When Rakster got off the phone I called Izumi.
"Hello?" Izumi said.
"Hey!" I said.
"Where have you been?!" Izumi asked.
"On vacation! I told you a long time ago!" I said. There was a small pause.
"O ya you did." she said.
"Ya, I did so what's up?" I asked.
"Nothing really. Hey you wanna go see Finding Nemo?!" she asked.
"Didn't we see that the first time it was out in theatres?" I asked.
"Hey you made me see The Lord of the Rings The Return of the King !" she said.
"You liked it!" I protested.
"That's not the point, remember you said you owed me!" she said. Sadly it was true.
"Well I guess I did well ok when is the movie?" I asked.
"In like... a half an hour." she said.
"All right I'll see you there." I said and then hung up the phone. I grabbed my bag and some money on my way out. I wrote a quick note saying where I was since Rakster would be leaving soon as well for reasons unknown to me. Domino was a big city and there were a few theatres in it and one wasn't too far away. About half way there I met Izumi. Izumi was wearing her camouflage (war print) skirt with a black top. Her bun told me she had just woken up. I looked like she had done it in like thirty seconds.
"Hey." she said.
"Hi," I said, "sleepy aren't we?"
"Hey it is the last day of summer and I am sleeping in to the max!" she said.
"Alright." I said not wanting to argue.
"How's your writing coming?" she asked.
"Not all that great." I said
"Really?" she asked.
"Yup, I write some good, some bad, and then I get stuck." I said.
"Oh." Izumi said. I knew she was going to start digging information out of me to find some inspiration for me, and I didn't want her to do that.
"Crap! We'd better run!" I said. Actually we had like fifteen minutes but I needed to stop the conversation. If I kept lying like this she would figure it out and then get everything out of me for sure. I don't know how she'd know if I were lying but I guess it has something to do with how long we've known each other.
