Chapter 9: Thick fog of confusion

Bakura roughly removed the dagger out of his door and proceeded to slash everything he could touch. He kept it up until he finally collapsed from exhaustion. He looked up and saw all the damage he had done to his room. Catching his breath, he sat up and threw the dagger as far as he could. Clutching his head, he growled, "What the hell's the matter with me?"

Just then someone knocked on his door. He looked away and shouted, "Leave me alone."

The door opened and Valon entered. Looking at the damage, he asked, "Geez, what's your problem?"

Bakura wrapped his wings around his body as he took his shirt off. "Didn't you hear what I said?"

Valon nodded. "Of course I did. That doesn't mean I have to listen to you."

Bakura growled but didn't say anything. Valon looked at his elder and smirked. "Still giving yourself torture, huh?"

Bakura hissed, "I am not torturing myself! Get that thought out of your head!"

Valon chuckled evilly. "So now you're lying on top of everything. That is so tacky."

Bakura grabbed another dagger he kept between his mattresses and threw it at Valon. To the albino's surprise, Valon caught the dagger without even flinching. Bakura didn't expect this and said, "What the hell…? How the hell did you do that?"

Valon gripped the dagger and scowled, "I was once a hunter."

Bakura knew this from Malik but he decided to give Valon a hard time. His eyes grew wide and backed up a little. Valon shook his head. "I'm not like that anymore. Malik changed me." He then chuckled. "It's ironic. The one vampire I've been hunting for my entire life…changed me."

Still giving Valon a hard time, Bakura asked, "What happened?"

Valon looked at the dagger as he remembered that day. "I got a tip of where Malik was hiding. Apparently, he was supposed to be staying in a run-down warehouse. I went to ambush him but…he ambushed me. I was bit from behind. Later on, after I revived here and realized that his lifestyle could offer me so much more than a human's life, he told me that someone told him that I would be waiting for him."

Bakura looked away and tried not to smirk. However his smirk became visible and Valon saw it. "What's with the smirk?"

Realizing he was caught but not caring, Bakura looked at Valon. "Have you ever wondered who tipped the master off?"

Valon nodded. He then saw Bakura's smirk widen into a grin and figured it out. "You…you told Malik where I was waiting for him!"

Bakura nodded. "And I gave you the tip. Just think of it as revenge. You killed all my friends while looking for our master. Besides, I had to do something to get my mind off of Anzu."

Unfortunately, at the mention of her name, he closed his eyes in slight pain. That gave Valon the opportunity he needed. He jumped Bakura and attacked him. Bakura tried to defend himself but Valon said, "Touch me and I will literally eat Anzu."

Bakura froze at that statement and, once again, gave Valon the opportunity he needed. He used his dagger to cut Bakura's wrists, ankles, and left cheek. He would cut some more if his arm hadn't frozen in mid-air. He tried to move it but his arm refused to cooperate. Bakura heard a familiar chuckle and smirked. "I suppose you forgot about the master's mind powers."

Valon groaned and looked over his shoulder. Malik was standing in the doorway, using his right thumb and two fingers to channel his powers to Valon's wrist. He twisted his wrist toward him and Valon flew backwards onto his wings. As Valon was stretched his wings to get feeling back in them, Malik growled, "Don't attack your fellow comrades…unless you want my punishment."

Suspicious about the punishment but not wanting to get killed, Valon nodded. Malik then looked at Bakura, expecting him speak up, but the albino seemed to be somewhere else. Rolling his eyes, the vampire king went forward and grabbed Bakura by the neck. "I just saved your neck and I don't get a thank you?"

Startled by his voice, Bakura looked at his master and raised his eyebrow. "What did you say?"

Malik growled and threw Bakura on the ground. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

Bakura sat up and looked away. "Nothing…"

Malik didn't believe him. He started to demand him to tell the truth when he heard Valon laugh. Malik turned around and backhanded Valon while barking, "What are you laughing at?"

Valon touched his injured cheek and said, "I know what's wrong with Bakura. His head is filled with that new girl, Anzu."

Eyes narrowing into a death glare, Malik turned to Bakura, who was still in a daze. Growling, his master grabbed his eldest follower's wings and scratched them. Bakura screamed in pain and pounded the ground in pain. Valon started to freak out a little and backed up. Still scratching Bakura's wings, Malik hissed, "You're not going anywhere."

Feeling his spine tingle, Valon nodded and stayed put. Finally Malik stopped scratching Bakura's wings and took a step back. Bakura was crumbled on the ground, catching his breath. His wings were covered with scratches that looked painful. Malik nodded in his accomplishment and said, "Forget about her. Do you understand me?"

Bakura looked up at his master and didn't answer. Malik kicked his follower across the face and growled, "Do you understand me!"

Looking away, Bakura nodded. "I understand…please forgive me…"

Malik just turned around sharply and said on his way out, "Bakura, don't leave this room. Valon, come with me."

Now alone, Bakura climbed up onto his bed and laid on his stomach. His mind was still filled with Anzu and he clutched his head. "What is wrong with me?"

---

Valon was leaning on Bakura's door, listening in. nodding, he turned to Malik and said, "He's still thinking about her."

Malik growled. "What the hell is wrong with him? Do you have any suggestions on what to do?"

Valon smirked evilly. "Just one. Keep Bakura locked in his room. You do what you want to Anzu but let Bakura hear you."

Malik looked at Valon and nodded. "I like the way you think."

Valon slightly shrugged. "I try. I had to think this way to try to kill you."

Malik positioned his dagger at Valon's throat. "You still want to kill me?"

Valon nodded. "No. You're my master. You can give me more than anything the humans can."

Malik nodded and said, "I like your idea. Let's start now."

Valon nodded and locked Bakura's door. Malik laughed evilly as he headed for the prison where Anzu was.
