Both girls were trying very hard not to go fan girl on him. That would probably get them in trouble… More so then they were already in. Kristen was reminding herself of the seriousness of the situation, while Talon was simply repeating…
I will not go fan girl… I will not go fan girl… I will not go fan girl… I will NOT go fan girl…
Once the twitching began, both girls knew Talon at least was fighting a losing battle. Thankfully, the silence didn't last much longer. Marik spoke up, as neither girl was in any position to do so.
"What are your names?"
No answer.
"No matter, I'll find out soon enough…" He looked like he was thinking something over, and then decided against it. Both girls nearly sighed with relief. The thing he'd had in mind might have been controlling one of them, or maybe both. That would have been bad.
Instead, he started circling both girls. "You know who I am I assume, but just in case, I'll refresh you memory. I am Marik Ishtar."
"We know that."
Kristen elbowed Talon in the side quickly. "Shut up!"
Too late. Marik walked over and stood in front of her. Talon looked upward at him defiantly.
"I figured you did. After sorting through your belongings, and finding these-"
He held up a couple of the manga Talon had in her backpack, he continued. "- We figured you did. My associate is digging through the other now."
"My manga! Give it to me!"
Marik looked amused at Talon's sudden protectiveness of her manga. "And if I say no?"
"I shall take it by force!"
"I'd like to see you try."
Knowing Talon just might do something rash like that, Kristen quickly grabbed her friend's wrists and pulled her backwards, just as Talon rushed forwards. Marik simply chuckled. "Impressive. How long have you two known each other?"
"A…long…time." Kristen answered while struggling to keep Talon under control. The said girl was snorting much like a bull, and was trying very hard to get her manga. Didn't help much that Marik was waving it in her face.
After about three minutes of fighting like this Talon broke free. Marik easily sidestepped her. She barely managed to avoid running into the wall. She had just skidded to a stop and turned around when Marik was standing directly behind her. Talon blinked twice.
"How'd you get there?"
He didn't answer. However his eyes caught sight of something and he reached out and…
…pulled her passport out of her back pocket.
"Hey! My passport!"
She made a lunge for it, but Marik held her back with one hand while holding the passport with the other. The Rod had long since been tucked away.
"Talon Zephyr…Hmm…interesting name…"
"Give me my passport!"
"And if I say no?"
Kristen groaned. "Not again…"
However, Talon didn't press the matter. She'd get it back…later when he wasn't expecting it. However, Kristen's comment had drawn his attention to her. "And you are?"
"Not telling. And I don't have a passport for you to snatch either, so you won't be finding out anytime soon…"
No sooner had she finished saying this when a guy about the same age with long white hair walked in. "Hey, Marik guess what I found! Nevermind, you'll never guess it anyway. I found a passport in the other girl's backpack." He opened it and read aloud.
"Kristen Summers. What kind of a name is that?"
Kristen was up in front of him in a second. She snatched her passport from the guy's hands. "My name." Then she looked up and recognized who it was. Long white hair, kind of spiky in places, and brown eyes. Uh-oh…she'd just mouthed Bakura… Brilliant…she was dead for sure.
Bakura narrowed his eyes at her. "You have some nerve, girl…"
"Kristen! Back…away…slowly… Bakura, not a good guy to mess around with…"
Kristen somehow managed to glare at Talon without taking both eyes off Bakura. "You don't think I know that?"
"Of course I know you know that…I just thought might need a little reminder what with him glaring at you like that…and you still standing there… It kind of looked like you'd forgotten…"
"Hahaha… Well, I didn't…"
"Okay…"
Marik was looking on, once again, amused. "Well, Bakura, what do you think of these two? Do we keep them, or send them on their way."
"Send us on our way!" Both girls answered simultaneously.
Bakura smirked and shrugged. "Oh I don't know…"
"Send us on our way!" Kristen repeated firmly.
"We'll be good! We won't tell anyone you're hiding out in Egypt kidnapping people for no reason!"
Both boys glared at Talon.
"Oops…"
"Oops is right, Talon. We are hiding out here in an attempt to get away from rabid fan girls. And my Rare Hunters are only kidnapping people who talk about Yugioh. Oo…that accursed show. And-"
"If it were from your point of view I bet it wouldn't be accursed anymore…"
Marik opened his mouth the respond but then thought about what the show would be like from his point of view…
Bakura picked up from there. "And we returned them after we figured they were harmless enough. After wiping their memories of course. The earlier kidnappings were for speaking Japanese. So, naturally, we got a lot of people, and eventually changed the orders to mentioning anything about the show."
"So…that means you'll be letting us go right?"
Bakura shrugged. "Well, this is the first time we've kidnapped two girls…it might be a bit harder to do so…"
"No it won't! We are very annoying! If you don't let us go we'll drive you crazy until the day we die!"
"Or the day they send us to the Shadow Realm…" Kristen added under her breath.
"You'd be much better off sending us home!"
Both boys shrugged. "We'll see…"
Before this, or any conversation could go further, the boys walked out, thankfully leaving the torches lit.
Talon and Kristen looked at each other. "We are so screwed."
"Our only chance is to annoy them so badly, they'll be dying to get rid of us…"
"Without over doing it and getting ourselves sent to he Shadow Realm…"
"Yeah that too…"
And so, Operation Annoy-The-Heck-Out-Of-Bakura-And-Marik began.
Oh yes...This next chapter shall include a never ending song, angered boys, and maybe...maybe..a visit to the Shadow Realm...
Bakura- Yes!
Sit, Bakura...I said maybe...
Bakura- Maybe? But that means yes!
> No it doesn't, it means maybe...
