Chapter 3! Alright!
"Jounouchi, always know that I love you." Seto Kaiba said to the blonde haired boy standing in front of him. "Don't ever forget that."
Tears formed in Jounouchi's eyes. "I know." He wiped them away with the sleeve of his sweater. "I know. And always know that I will never stop loving you. No matter what happens, Seto…"
Seto smiled his rare smile and pulled the boy into a tight embrace. "I love you Jounouchi."
"I love you too, Seto."
"Seto…" Jounouchi said. He rolled around on his bed before sitting straight up. He looked around his dark room sleepily, noting his sleeping friend in the corner. Honda had agreed to stay with Jounouchi for as long as he needed him to. For support and just to have someone to talk to.
"It was just a dream…" Jounouchi grabbed his pillow and held it close. "I miss you so much, Seto."
A sudden ringing noise brought him out of his thoughts and back into the real world. "Huh?" He searched his nightstand for the small cell phone that he owned. He picked it up and answered it. "What..."
"Get up."
Jounouchi's eyes widened. "Who is this?"
"Get up and come outside."
"No!" Jounouchi hung up the phone, only to hear it ring once again. He answered it. "No!"
"Jounouchi, I'm not going to say this again. GO OUTSIDE NOW!"
He pulled he phone away from his ear. "Geez, not so loud! Honda's still sleeping!"
A pause. "So, moved on from Kaiba with Honda I see...what would rich-boy say?"
Jounouchi looked over at Honda. "What? I'm not with Honda! He's over here for moral support!"
"Moral support, wild hot sex partner. I'm hearing the same thing here..."
"I'll be out in a minute..."
Jounouchi stood outside with his arms folded across his chest. 'What is the matter with that person! They have the nerve to wake me up this early!'
As soon as he finished thinking that sentence, a car pulled up out of nowhere and parked in front of him. A figure dressed in black jumped out of the back seat and grabbed him, pulling him off his feet and shoving him into the car.
"Dammit! What the hell are you doing?" Jounouchi screamed. "Who are you and what do you want with me?"
"Shut up!" The figure yelled. "You talk to much." The figure pulled off the mask on his head and revealed himself.
"Damn." Jounouchi said. "You know, I had a feeling it was you."
"You had no idea." Bakura said. "I had you fooled! AHAHAHA!"
"Yeah whatever. Now, what do you want with me?" Jounouchi asked.
"What do you think, moron? We finally came up with a plan to get the money from the cats! It's brilliant and you'll love it!"
Jounouchi leaned back and crossed his arms. "Why's that?"
"Because it's perfect! It is guaranteed to work!"
"Sure. Like all the plans you made to steal the puzzle." Jounouchi clapped his hands. "Brilliant work there."
"Shut up." Bakura said. He kicked the seat in front of him. "Driver! To the Mutou residence!"
"I know where I'm going, dumbass." The driver said. "We discussed this before and I'm not stupid like you are."
"Hey! I'm not paying you to talk!" Bakura kicked the seat again.
"You're not paying me at all!" The car stopped at a red light and the driver turned around. "So shut up!"
"Malik?" Jounouchi said.
"Sadly yes."
Jounouchi burst out laughing.
"What?"
"Nothing. Oh nothing at all." Jounouchi said. "Hey look, we're at the game shop!"
"I know where we are!" Malik said. "I do!"
Bakura put the black mask back on his head and scooted toward the door. He put his hand on the door handle, then turned back to Jounouchi. "Be right back sweetheart."
Jounouchi stuck out his tongue and watched as Bakura left the car. "Moron." He watched out the window as Bakura began to climb a tree outside the shop. A puzzled look came across his face. "What is he doing?"
"Breaking and entering." Malik said. "He does that very well."
Knock knock.
Yami shot up out of bed. "What was that?" He said to no one in particular. Yugi was asleep next to him and their grandfather was out of town. "Who's there?"
"Orange..."
Yami looked puzzled. "Orange who?" He looked around the room. "Did you hear me? I said 'Orange who'?"
Knock knock.
Yami turned the other way. "Who's there?"
"Orange..."
Yami got out of bed. "Orange who?" He walked around the room looking for this so called "Orange". "Where are you Orange!"
Knock knock.
"ENOUGH!" Yami shouted. "WHO'S THERE?"
"Orange..."
Yami walked over to the window and opened it quickly. "ORANGE WHO?" He felt the window hit something hard. "Huh?" He watched as the object he hit went crashing to the ground.
"Is that you, Orange?"
"No." He heard a faint voice say. "It's Bakura. Get down here now!"
Yami leaned over the window sill and looked down at Bakura. "Bakura? What were you doing in my tree?"
Bakura stood up and dusted himself off. "I was trying to get your attention, but you kept muttering things about oranges and stuff. GET DOWN HERE NOW!"
"Fine!" Yami said and closed the window harshly.
"Moron." Bakura said. "He fell for the orange joke hahahaha."
The car door opened and two figures went inside. The sat down on the seats and made themselves comfortable.
"What is going on?" Yami asked Bakura, who was pulling the mask off his face.
"Well, you see I came up with this brilliant plan--"
"Ahem, you mean we came up with this brilliant plan." Malik interrupted.
"Shut up! You know that I was the mastermind behind the whole thing!" Bakura yelled. "Now drive, fool, drive! AHAHAHAHA!"
Yami and Jounouchi exchanged glances of confusion before Bakura began talking again.
"Anyway. As I was saying before someone rudely interrupted me," Bakura said. "We came up with this brilliant plan that's sure to get us the money."
Yami raised an eyebrow. "And what exactly would this plan be?"
"Okay," Bakura pulled out some papers. "This is the blueprint of the Kaiba Mansion. Yours truly stole it from Kaiba's office for you. I know, I'm that awesome. Anyway, here is where the money is--"
"How do you know that?" Jounouchi asked. "You've never been in the Kaiba Mansion before!"
"Ohohohoho," Bakura laughed. "Now that's where you're wrong. I've been in there countless times. I've been stealing from there since I was first released from the ring. Now pay attention!"
"No wonder we couldn't find Seto's gold statue of the Blue Eyes White Dragon." Jounouchi laughed. "And he said he lost it. Ha!"
"Quiet!" Bakura slapped Jounouchi on the back of the head. He continued talking, ignoring the exclamation of pain from the blonde. "Now, we need to get on the roof and climb in through the sky light. After getting through there, we should be on the top floor, a.k.a the fifth floor." He pointed to the floor on the blueprints.
"We should be right there." He tapped the paper. "Now, the money is on the third floor. So we need to take these stairs over here to said floor. The safe is in the twelfth door on the left."
"Really now, how did you figure all this out! There's no way you could remember all that." Jounouchi said. "I mean, come on! That place is huge!"
Bakura sighed. "Like I said. I've stolen from there plenty of times. And when I plan to go back and steal from it again, I usually remember where I'm going. Plus, I've tried that safe before. I got it open once, but then Kaiba found out that something was stolen and changed the combo on the locks."
"Aha! That was you!" Jounouchi said.
Bakura narrowed his eyes. "Okay then. Moving on. We'll need two people to go in and open the safe. One person will wait on the roof top, and the other person will keep guard around the perimeter."
Jounouchi looked at Yami, and then at Bakura. "Well, who's doing what?"
"I'll be going in to open the safe." Bakura said. "For I am the most experienced at this. Malik already said he was going to keep guard around the mansion. That leaves one of you to come with me, and the other to sit on the roof."
Jounouchi looked over at Yami. "I think I'll go with Bakura. I know my way around the mansion better than you do."
Yami nodded. "Yes. I have never been in the Kaiba Mansion before." He shrugged. "Too bad the first time that I'm going anywhere near it is to steal something from it. Oh look! My morals just flew out the window!"
"Yeah yeah, that happens." Bakura said. "Mine have been missing for a long time. I don't even remember how they disappeared."
The car rolled to a stop in front of an apartment complex. Bakura got out first, followed by Yami and then Jounouchi. Malik parked the car and followed the three men into the building.
"Ryou's not here because I sent him to someone's house." Bakura said. "I told him to go spend the night with a friend, and the first person he said was Yugi."
"I know." Yami said. "He was there when you came and got me. Idiot."
"Well sorry, your highness but some people didn't know that." Bakura opened the apartment door and walked inside. "Come on in."
Yami and Jounouchi looked around as they walked in, taking note of the neat and tidiness of the spirits apartment. They also took note of the many knives and whips that were sitting on the kitchen counter, but they thought it was in their best interest not to ask.
Malik just waltzed right in and headed straight for the couch. He sat down and turned on the TV.
"The Seto and Mokuba Kaiba murder investigation continues to take place even into the late night. So far, no suspects have been arrested, but a few have come into mind. Jounouchi Katsuya, the CEO's lover, and Mutou Yugi, the CEO's rival. So far, no evidence has given the authorities any motive to arrest--"
Jounouchi turned off the TV. "Me? A suspect? What the hell! I love Seto!"
"Yugi? A suspect?" Yami said. "That's absurd!"
"Yeah yeah." Bakura said, walking to the couch. "I'm surprised they haven't come after me yet."
Bakura smirked at the looks he was receiving from his guests. "What? I didn't do it."
"Yeah yeah." Malik said. "Now, let's go over this plan again."
So, how did you like chapter 3? Hehe review!
