Summary: When an accident creates two Bakuras, how will Ryou deal with it? And now that Akefia shows his true colors, how can Bakura protect himself from being sealed into the Ring and having Akefia take his place in life?
Chapter ElevenThe group now had to figure out how to get rid of the card without getting rid of Bakura, but it would be tricky.
To put it simply, they simply had to use a very risky Shadow Spell that Bakura barely remembered from his Tomb Robbing days.
It was a spell that was used to transplant a curse on a object into something else, so that you could handle (or destroy) that object if necessary.
It was quite useful when robbing tombs, for, when you came across something with a boobytrapped spell on it, like a harmless looking statue or something, you would use the spell to remove the curse and stick it in, say, a harmless pillar or stone or some other random thing that wouldn't prove a threat to you. Then you can go past the statue, (or whatever else you were doing) and get on with your life.
However, as Bakura barely remembered it, it was rather difficult for anyone to let him try.
Joey, Yami, Yugi, Tea, Duke, Tristan, and Ryou were all sitting in the living room trying to figure out what to do.
Ryou, Tea, and Yugi were adamant that Bakura should not risk it, and they could get someone else (Isis and Shadi were mentioned several times) to handle it.
But Yami and Joey were sure that Bakura could handle it, and that he could get it done easily.
Tristan and Duke had no real opinion, unsure of what to say, so they sat back and supplied comments when asked or it seemed appropriate.
"Fine!" Bakura finally snapped. "Enough! I'm going to do it, and I don't care anymore!"
"Yami!" Ryou began, before Bakura cut him off.
"Ryou, it's getting done one way or another."
"But maybe Isis or Shadi could…" Yugi started, before jumping back as Bakura snarled at him.
"Not them!" he hissed.
"Isis should know, since it's her brothers who are locked in the Rod right now." Joey pointed out, not backing down to Bakura's glare.
"Fine. But she won't be able to do anything to help ME." Bakura snapped, narrowing his eyes.
"You can't know that." Tea said, and Bakura growled. He was going to do it, whether they agreed he should or not!
"Akefia is going down, whether you say I should or not! You don't control me!" Bakura shrieked, and for one moment, Akefia appeared where he had stood, smirking evilly at the stunned people before him.
Then he was gone, and Bakura was back, staggering back, clutching his head.
"Bakura! Don't get mad, okay? If you lose control of yourself, you lose control of Akefia!" Yami warned.
"Thanks for pointing that out, O' Wise Pharaoh." Bakura muttered dryly.
"What are we going to do?" Ryou cried, backing away from Bakura without consciously knowing what he was doing. Akefia scared him, and scared him badly. Not because he was evil, no, but because he could take Bakura away from him.
And he made Ryou lose control of his emotions.
That is something Ryou feared a lot.
Bakura saw Ryou backing away, and that made him madder at Akefia than anything else had. Akefia was making his own light afraid of him again. He had thought Ryou had gotten over that fear of him, but guess not.
Bakura's eyes narrowed, and his lips curled in a snarl.
He held the card that Akefia's soul was trapped in, glaring at it.
"I don't care anymore. I'm going to get rid of this. Get rid of HIM." He hissed. He turned and stalked outside for some time to think, and none of the others followed him.
Bakura gripped his hair and bared his teeth, frustrated to the depths of his soul.
He bent, snatched a rock, and threw it angrily.
It hit a bush and sent some black birds screeching into the air.
Bakura glared at them for disturbing his thoughts, and stalked over to pick up the rock and throw it at them, maybe he'll hit one.
He picked up the rock and was about to straighten, when he noticed a little bundle of feathers in the grass.
He frowned, dropping the rock.
Bakura bent to look closer at the creature, and a little head poked up to stare balefully at him.
Its feathers were shorter than the birds Bakura normally saw, and it seemed to flop around a bit. Maybe it was hurt?
Yes, it was hurt. There was a wound on the side of its head, with dried blood about. Bakura looked up at the circling black birds.
So they had been harassing this baby bird.
For some reason, this raised a red fury in Bakura, and he turned and sent the Shadow Realm after the two birds.
Surprised and panicked squawks erupted, then some black feathers.
Then nothing.
Bakura bent down again and picked up the baby bird with surprising gentleness. Its feathers were a soft brown, barred on the wings, and a paler white on the bottom.
He stroked its head gently with one finger as it sat in the palm of his hand. Its little claws dug slightly into Bakura's skin as it gripped him, and it continued to just stare at him, head slightly cocked to the side.
The thief held it firmly, but gently, and started off towards home.
He had an idea.
And this little bird was the key point.
