Chapter 6: New information and warnings

A few days after her little run-in with Bakura in the park, Anzu kept coming back around the same time, hoping to see him again. She never saw him and it discouraged her. But she kept getting the feeling that someone was watching her. It made her uneasy.

During the day, she tried to go through life as if nothing had happened. That proved to be almost impossible. Her thoughts kept going back to that kiss Bakura snuck in on the night they met. When she tried to think of something else, the other memories with Bakura kept coming up.

After a while, she couldn't do anything. Her thoughts of Bakura had almost crippled her. She stayed at home, not wanting to go out. She knew that something was wrong with her. But she had no idea what it was. All she knew was that it was frightening but pleasurable at the same time.

Her friends were getting worried but didn't know what to do. They got together one day at their favorite coffee shop to discuss what to do. As Joey brought over the drinks, he asked, "So how is Anzu? Has anyone been over to her house lately?"

Yugi nodded. "I was there the other day. I tried to get her to come outside but she refused."

Taking his drink, Yami asked, "Why is she refusing? Before Kaiba took her to that party, she was the most vibrant girl I knew. What changed her?"

The friends shrugged. Serenity was about to add something when they heard a familiar voice say, "It was that man she met."

They all turned around to see Kaiba sitting at a nearby table, working on his laptop. Joey growled. "What do you care?"

Yugi settled Joey down. "Joey, let Kaiba talk."

Kaiba rolled his eyes. "Don't expect that mutt to keep quiet. To keep a dog quiet, you put a muzzle on him."

Joey growled and turned away from Kaiba. Yami asked, "Kaiba, what man are you talking about?"

Kaiba looked at his laptop intensely. "Anzu called him Bakura. I didn't know who he was when I first saw him. I just noticed his white hair and black cape. Being curious, I decided to look up on him."

Tristan asked, "What did you find?"

Kaiba sighed. "This will surprise you but…that man has a record a mile long."

Joey turned around to see what Kaiba was talking about. Kaiba turned his laptop to show the group what he had found. It was a mug shot of Bakura. He had a look of evil in his eyes that was terrifying to look at. The gang's eyes grew wild at the look in his eyes. Kaiba saw that and nodded. "I know. He doesn't look human. Those eyes aren't human. They belong to an animal."

Swallowing hard, Serenity asked, "What were his crimes?"

Kaiba exhaled. "Now that's the scary part. You name a crime, he did it. Assault with a deadly weapon, sexual assault, possession of both weapons and illegal drugs, robbery…he's even got one for murder."

The friends' eyes grew wide. Joey asked, "Murder? You sure?"

Kaiba nodded. "After what I read, I did a little more digging. He was charged and convicted to life without parole for the murder of a young girl. Apparently, he said that he had no motive for killing her. He just did it for the thrill of taking a life."

Yugi shook his head. "How is someone this dangerous still on the streets?"

Kaiba chuckled. "That's the thing. There are two things I found about him that were very disturbing. The first thing was this."

He moved his finger over the mouse pad and brought up an Internet article. He sighed. "It says here that, after he was convicted for the murder of the little girl, he escaped…and it wasn't the first time. Apparently he kept escaping after each conviction and never turning up until his next crime. He's a mastermind of escape."

Serenity shivered and Joey put his arm around her in protection. Yami asked, "What's the other disturbing thing?"

Kaiba reacted. "Ah, THIS takes the cake. Nearly had a heart attack when I saw this."

Joey sniggered. "You…having a heart attack? That can't happen with you. You don't have a heart."

Kaiba growled and said, "Well, mutts can't have heart attacks, either, but you'll have one when you see this."

He brought up another Internet article. When they looked at the headline, they paled. Serenity whimpered and Joey pulled her closer while shivering himself. Tristan groaned in terror. Yugi covered his mouth with his hand. Yami shook his head. "That's not possible…"

Kaiba nodded. "I triple checked it. All the dates and stories are true."

Yugi shook his head. "I got to tell Anzu."

He started to get up but Kaiba stood up, closing his laptop. "I'm coming with you. She'll want to see proof."

Yugi nodded and the two left in a hurry. Yugi's friends looked after them, still rattled by what they learned. Yami sighed. "Let's hope they can talk sense into her."

Anzu was sitting up in her bed, her mind filled with Bakura. She clutched her head and whimpered. "Why? What did he do to me? Who is he? Where is he? Damn…"

She winced from a headache. She sighed and was about to grab a book on her nightstand when she heard knocking on her front door. Sniffing, she got up, wrapped a blanket around herself, and went to her door. Opening it, she saw Yugi and Kaiba standing there. She slightly smiled. "Yugi…Kaiba…nice to see you two."

She then collapsed a little but Yugi caught her. The two helped her onto a couch where she smiled. "Thanks…I've been fighting a headache for the past few days."

Yugi shook his head. "You got to stop this! Forget about Bakura! He's crippling you!"

Anzu slightly laughed as her right eye twitched. "He is not. I'm fine!"

Kaiba shook his head. "Yugi's right. You should forget about that Bakura. He's dangerous. He could kill you."

Anzu sat up. "What do you mean, dangerous and could kill me? That's not him."

Kaiba rolled his eyes, set his laptop down, and set it up. He then turned it for Anzu to see Bakura's mug shot. Her eyes grew wide and she shook her head. "That can't be him…"

Yugi nodded. "It is him. Kaiba did a little research and found this…and two other frightening things."

Kaiba then pulled up the article on Bakura murdering the little girl for the thrill. Anzu looked at it and shook her head. "It can't be Bakura…it can't be."

Yugi swallowed hard. "Kaiba, show her the other thing."

Kaiba nodded and said before he pulled up the page, "Just to warn you, this is very frightening."

Anzu nodded and Kaiba brought up the Internet page. She looked and her eyes grew wide. The article said, "Criminal Bakura found dead today." The picture showed Bakura's body with a serious neck injury. Anzu shook her head. "This has to be a fake."

Kaiba nodded. "I triple checked it. This article is real. So is the date."

Raising their eyebrows, Anzu and Yugi looked at the date and their eyes grew extra wide. The date of the article was five years ago. Anzu shook her head. "That's impossible."

Kaiba nodded. "It's all true. Bakura's been dead for the past five years."

Anzu stood up and closed Kaiba's laptop. "Get out. Get out!"

Kaiba grabbed his laptop and headed out. Yugi stayed behind. "Anzu, listen to me…"

Anzu was too irrational to hear what he had to say. She grabbed his arm and pushed him out. He turned and was about to say something when he noticed, "What happened to your lip?"

Anzu shut the door and looked at her lip. The right corner was scabbed and turning a little purple. She looked at it and winced. "Ow…wonder how that happened."

Hiding out in the dark attic, Rex and Weevil were taking peeks at her through cracks in the ceiling. Rex noticed Bakura sitting in the corner and asked, "Did you really do all those crimes when you were alive?"

Bakura slightly shrugged. "I was an insane person. I still am."

Noticing Anzu's injured lip, Weevil asked, "What did you do to her?"

Raising his eyebrow, Bakura pushed Weevil out of the way and looked though the crack. He slightly winced at her sight but collected himself. "I bit her lip when I kissed her a while ago. My saliva has foreign substances in it. I guess it caused an infection."

He sighed at Anzu's sight. Rex noticed this and asked, "What's your problem?"

Bakura shook his head. "Nothing…"
