Chapter 5

It had been a few days since Duke's party, and Gabby still hadn't heard from Bakura. She started to feel a little worried, but something inside told her that everything was fine. He would return to her in time. All she needed to do was to have some patience and faith that she would see him soon.

"Hey Gabby, Tiff and I are going to the mall you wanna come?" Ginger asked as she walked into her room.

"Why do you need to go to the mall?"

"Psh… it's the mall, need I say more," Ginger said with a 'hello what are you talking about' tone. "Plus, tomorrow is Valentines Day and I wanted to get something for my Duke."

Gabby turned to her with a big smirk. "What, being at the party with him wasn't enough; you were in his room the whole night."

Ginger just blushed with embarrassment. "Are you coming or not?" she tried to avert the question.

"Sure, why not." Gabby just sighed in agreement. "Maybe I could get something for Bakura," she thought to herself. "But I have no idea what he's into or what he likes."

Gabby just dismissed the thought as she changed into a pair of hip hugger jeans and a white tank top. She just thought that maybe the gift would let itself be known. Who knows, maybe she might get the perfect gift for him.

"Come on hurry up," both Tiff and Ginger yelled.

"Shut up," Gabby said as she rolled her eyes and grabbed her purse. "Ginger's not driving is she? remember the last time she drove she nearly killed us?" She just shuddered at the thought.

"Like I would let her get near a car while I'm still alive," Tiff said as she walked out the door.

"Oh come on, I'm not that bad," Ginger whined as she followed Tiff out the door to the car.

Gabby just shook her head and chuckled. For some reason she was thinking that the day was going to be a long one. She quickly ran to the kitchen and put some aspirin in her purse, just in case. Then she left closing the door behind her to catch up with the two still arguing roommates about who is more capable of driving.

"How can there be absolutely nothing to watch on this damn television," a very agitated Bakura scowled. For the past half hour he had been flipping through the channels, trying to find something interesting to watch.

"This looks interesting." He had turned to the History Channel, where they were having a special on excavations of Egypt. They were showing remains of some of the ancient cities that had existed, and they were also talking about the lineage of the pharaoh.

"Let's see if they say anything about that worthless pharaoh," Bakura said as he raised the volume on the TV.

TV narrator: "After the Pharaoh died, his only son took over. We have yet to discover his name, but what we do know was that he took on the responsibility of being a Pharaoh at a young age. Through many excavations we have also discovered that even though, throughout his reign there were dark times, he was a fair and just ruler."

"Fair and just, you have got to be kidding me," Bakura snorted at the TV.

"But being a Pharaoh does have its risks. There were many people who argued that he was too young to rule, that he should step down and have his high priest rule in his stead. Their arguments were ignored, and the young Pharaoh continued to rule."

"Hn... they should have listened to the villagers, he was an incompetent leader." Bakura continued to watch the TV in disgust, as they kept on portraying the Pharaoh as if he was some sort of god. He was about to change when something they said sparked his interest again.

"Through the hieroglyphics found in the latest excavation, we found records of a lone thief that terrorized many villages and even attempted robbing the palace of the Pharaoh. He was known to be the King of Thieves. He was known to be a ruthless killer who had no remorse or care of what he did."

"Got that right," he proudly said to himself.

"We do not know what came of this thief. If he was ever caught or not, we do not know. But with the dark times they were in, he most likely died not too far into it. Sadly the Pharaoh did die within those dark times, but no records show as to how he did."

Bakura at that moment turned off the TV. "Fools, they don't know a thing," he said as he tossed the remote to the side. "Their feeble minds wouldn't be able to comprehend what happened back then."

He just leaned back on the couch and sighed. He hasn't been able to stop thinking about the night of Duke's party. That small moment that he spent with Gabby opened up a door to something that he never imagined he could experience.

"Bakura, can you come help me with this?" Ryou asked as walked up to the tomb robber.

"Help you with what?" he replied a little annoyed.

"With the decorations for Valentines Day," he said excitedly.

"Why in the name of Ra are you putting up decorations for that?"

"Well because Valentines Day happens to be tomorrow," Ryou stated. "And I like decorating for events like this; you should know that by now."

"And you ask why people think you're so feminine?"

"Shut up," he spat at Bakura. "So are you going to give a gift you your valentine?"

"My what?" he gave him a confused look.

"Your valentine is someone that you think is special, and to show them that they are special, you give them a gift for Valentines Day."

Bakura just stood there and thought for a moment, dismissing whatever else his hikari was explaining to him about Valentines Day. His thoughts were once again on Gabby. "Is she considered my valentine?" he thought to himself. "Should I give her something?"

"Bakura are you listening to me?" Ryou asked as he was getting frustrated. "Where are you going?" he asked as he saw Bakura grab his coat and head towards the door.

"Out," Bakura replied as he closed the door behind him, ignoring the complaints that were coming from Ryou.

"Can we please leave now?" Gabby pleaded to her two roommates.

"NO," they both yelled to her.

Gabby had been following her friends around the mall for the past three hours. She was not the shopping type like her roommates were. They kept on dragging her into every shop imaginable. She didn't get anything for herself; she had to carry the bags of what her roommates were buying. As much as she just wanted to leave, she didn't have the car keys. So she was unable to just leave them there at the mall while she headed home. She just had to grit her teeth and bare it.

Gabby was just regrettably trudging behind her friends when she noticed something on display in an antique shop. She walked over to the window, ignoring where her roommates where going. On display was an Egyptian dagger. The handle of the dagger was onyx black, and on it was a gold plated symbol of the eye of Ra, with a red jewel in the middle of it. The sheath of the dagger was also onyx black with golden Egyptian hieroglyphics.

"Wow, it's gorgeous," Gabby said as she stared at it with great fascination. "I wonder how much it is."

She walked into the store and went up to the owner of the antique shop. "Excuse me, but I was wondering if you could tell me the price of the dagger that's on display by the window?" she asked politely.

"The Dagger of Amun-Ra, a very fine artifact," the owner said as he picked up the dagger. "This artifact is $200.00."

"It's $200.00?" Gabby asked in disbelief. "That's a lot of money." She thought about the dagger and how much it was. Even though it was costly, she couldn't help but ignore the price. There was just something about the dagger, it just reminded her of Bakura is some way. "I'm going to regret this some day," she thought to herself.

"I'll take it," she said as she handed the owner her credit card. As she left the store, she put the dagger into one of the other bags for safe keeping.

"Gabby there you are, we were looking for you," Tiff said as she ran up to Gabby.

"Sorry, I just wanted to look around in there for a minute."

"Well, Ginger and I are done, are you ready to go home?"

"I have been ready to go home for the past three hours," Gabby said to Tiff with annoyance. At that they started to head back to where their car was parked.

Bakura has been searching for a while now, and he had yet to find anything that he liked. The more he walked on, the more frustrated he became. "This is ridiculous," he thought to himself. "There has to be at least one valuable thing I haven't stolen yet."

He was about to give up and go home when he came across a newly opened jewelry store. "Who knew that they would decide to build a new jewelry store when this city is known for having their valuables stolen," he said to himself as a wicked smirk came across his face. "As my duty as the King of Thieves, I should go and see if they have anything worth stealing."

He casually walked into the busy store, taking in all of his surroundings. He glanced around the room to find that in each corner of the room had cameras. Near the opening to the back room he saw what looked like to be a security panel. Knowing that it was not only for the security cameras, he looked around once more to see what he could have missed. On the sides of the walls he found small security sensor beams that are activated by the security panel.

"They must have something very valuable if they have cameras and sensor beams," Bakura thought to himself as he started to glance at the merchandise in the glass cases.

At the very last case he came to, he found what he was looking for. In the glass case was a platinum necklace that had a finely cut diamond in the shape of a tear drop. "I believe that I have found my prize."

After taking a few more glances around the room, he left. But he will return tonight to claim his prize.

"LAND!" both Gabby and Tiff yelled as they jumped out of the car.

To their great regret, they let Ginger drive home. She insisted that this time around she would drive more carefully. But unfortunately for Gabby and Tiff, it only meant that she was going to drive twice as crazy.

"I can't believe that you gave her the car keys," Gabby said as she slowly got up from the ground. "You're so lucky that I am too dizzy to jump you."

Tiff couldn't even reply. All she did was give Gabby an apologetic face as she also slowly got up from the ground.

"WHOOO, WHAT A RIDE!" Ginger gleefully yelled as she got out of the car. "I can't wait until I can do that again."

"The day that we let you drive again, will be the day that I become the first woman President," Gabby said as she walked up to the front door. "So that means that you will never drive again."

"You guys are no fun," Ginger pouted as she went inside the house.

Gabby went straight up to her room so that she could put away the dagger that she had bought earlier. She knew that if her roommates would find it, they would bombard her with questions. And she really wasn't in the mood for their interrogations. She hoped that with it being Valentine's Day tomorrow, she would be able to give Bakura what she had bought. All she could do was have faith that her wish will come true.

She lazily lay on her bed as she hoped for the possibility of being with Bakura the next day. With the day's events catching up to her, she closed her eyes as the tranquility of sleep overtook her.

As promised, the tomb robber returned to the already closed store to claim his prize. He didn't bother going home, because he knew that Ryou wouldn't let him go back out knowing that he would probably cause trouble. So Bakura stayed in the park until the store had finally closed.

He decided to enter the store through the back door, as to not have the risk of someone seeing him and calling the authorities. Not like they can catch him anyways, he just didn't want to deal with them tonight. Bakura reached into his jacket pocket and took out two metal picks. One had a flat surface, while the other had a slight hook at the end. He swiftly inserted them into the lock, and with a few rhythmical movements the door was unlocked.

Bakura slowly and quietly entered the room. He surveyed the room to check to see if there were any other security systems. After confirming that the only security system was in the main room, he proceeded to his destination. He glanced into the main room and saw that the panel was in his reach without him stepping into the room. He took out the flat metal pick once again and used it to open the panel. He manipulated the wires to activate five dormant systems, which meant that the security system would shut down for five minutes; giving him enough time to take what he wanted and leaving without a trace.

Once the security system was disabled he quickly went to the case that had the necklace. In this other jacket pocket he took out what looked like to be a miniature suction cup and blade that resembled a scalpel. He hooked the suction cup to the top of the case and uses the blade to cut in a circular motion around it. When finished Bakura removed the suction cup along with the glass that was attached to it. Bakura then reached down, grabbed the necklace and securely put it into his pocket. He replaced the cut piece of glass and secured it with glass repair liquid.

"Now that I have retrieved what I came for, it's time that I get the hell out of here," Bakura said as he exited the main room with more than enough time before the security system reactivated.

Halfway home Bakura took the necklace from his pocket to examine is prize. After relishing his accomplishment, he once again pocketed the necklace and continued his way back home.

"So how am I supposed to give this to her tomorrow?" he asked himself. "I've never done anything like this before."

He kept on thinking of possible ways until he reached his place. He opened the door slowly to see if Ryou was still up or not. To his relief he was already asleep. After reaching his room he put the necklace into a safe place where he knew Ryou would look. In fact, he could have just left it in the open because Ryou never enters his room anyways. The only time he goes in there is to get his laundry, but Ryou had done that yesterday so he had nothing to worry about.

Bakura just sat on his bed as he continued to think. Then an idea hit him. He could have her meet him somewhere away from any annoying people. Bakura already knew where she lived because the day after the party he paid a visit to Duke's place and asked—more like threatened—him to give him the address to her place; since one of her roommates was his girlfriend.

With everything all thought out he took a last glance to where he had temporarily hid the necklace, and drifted off to sleep.

So what did you guys think? Did you like it?

What does Bakura have planned for Gabby? Will he just hand her the gift or will he plan something a little more romantic? I guess you'll have to wait and find out.

Please R&R. Thanks!
