Chapter 5
The next day…
"Did you do it yet?"
"Just buried the ashes! Now no one will know she died."
"Yami! Her 'vacation' won't last forever and people will start to get suspicious. We need to have a backup plan for when that happens."
"Here's the plan: leave as soon as someone figures it out."
"That's a terrible plan."
The phone rang. Bakura looked at his yami for a second, wondering if he should answer it or not. So far no one had called or visited since they moved in so it was very unexpected. Bakura slowly picked up the phone, but didn't talk into it. He waited for a minute, but no one said anything. All he could hear on the other side of the line was someone breathing. After another minute, whoever called hung up so Bakura put the phone down and disconnected it.
"That should take care of anyone calling," Bakura said, sitting back on the couch.
"Who was that?"
"I don't know. They didn't say anything."
"Hmm…"
Yami Bakura sat deep in thought for a minute. Bakura was curious as to what he was thinking about, but decided it would be rude to ask, so he waited patiently. After a while, his yami got up and left the room.
"I'm going to take a shower," he said shortly.
"Ok. I'm gonna go to the store and get something for dinner tonight," Bakura replied.
"Alright. But don't take too long. I have something I want to do later on."
"And what would that be?"
"…You'll see."
Bakura sighed. He walked into the bedroom and put his shoes on, then grabbed the car keys and left. While he was driving, he was thinking about what his yami could possibly want to do. He wasn't paying too much attention to where he was going and almost ran over Tristan.
"Hey watch it!" Tristan yelled when Bakura hit the brakes.
"Not my fucking problem if you don't look before you cross the street!" Bakura shouted.
"Oh Bakura it's you!" Tristan said, walking over to him. "What's up?"
"Well, let's see. You got in my way, you yelled at me, and now you're bothering me while I'm trying to get to the store. That's what's up," Bakura replied. "You done yet or do I have to waste another five minutes of my life by you?"
"Hah! Very funny! You crack me up!" Tristan laughed.
"Who said I was joking?" Bakura asked, glaring at him.
"You're…not?" Tristan asked, stunned.
"Nope. Now get away from me," Bakura said.
"Damn, I don't know what the hell is wrong with you but I hope it changes soon," Tristan said. "I miss the old Bakura."
"I'm the same as ever, dumbass," Bakura replied. "It just took you guys a long time to realize that."
He drove away before Tristan could say anything else. Fuming, Tristan turned around, went to the nearest phone booth, and called someone.
Stupid Tristan! He got in my way! I can't stand him! Why didn't I just let yami kill him when he got the chance? It would make life so much easier. Then again, killing Yugi and his yami would make things easier too. Too bad no one will hurry up and do that. I wonder what yami wants to do later. I bet it's something really illegal.
Twenty minutes later, he pulled into his driveway and carried the groceries into the house. He dumped them on the counter and went to his room to kick off his shoes. His yami wasn't in the room, however, and he wasn't in the shower either. He tossed the keys onto the bed and decided to go search for his yami.
"Yami! Where are you?" Bakura called.
"In the backyard!" his yami shouted.
"What are you doing in the backyard?" Bakura asked, walking up to him.
"Just thinking," he replied.
"About what?"
"Just…some stuff."
"So what is it that you wanted to do later?"
"That will wait til after dinner. Do you think you can wait that long?"
"Of course."
Present day…"You're an asshole," Yugi said. "You're just an asshole."
"Thanks," Bakura said.
"So did anyone figure out that the landlady died?" Yami asked.
"That's a later part of the story, I'm afraid," Bakura replied with a fake sigh.
"Then get on with it," Yami said. "I'm actually quite interested in what happens."
11 days ago…
"So where are we going?" Bakura asked for what seemed like the hundredth time that day.
"You'll see," Yami Bakura replied. He was the one driving now. After a while he pulled into the mall parking lot."
"You wanted to take me shopping?" Bakura asked. "That's what all this was about?"
"No," Yami Bakura replied. "We're here for something else. But in a way it is shopping."
He grabbed his hand and they hurried across the lot and went through the double doors. Bakura had no idea where he was going and didn't know how he should react to whatever it was supposed to be. After a while he was pulled into a store and they stopped short.
"Pick out the one you want," Yami Bakura said, gesturing to the display case that contained over a hundred knives.
Bakura stared into the display case. Inside were dozens of different kinds of knives. There were gold, silver, platinum, and bronze plated, sharp and blunt, and carved knives. His yami stood next to him, waiting til he found the one he wanted.
"Why are you taking me knife shopping?" Bakura asked in a whisper.
"Because you always hated using kitchen knives to kill," Yami Bakura whispered back. "Now you'll have a knife that you can kill with and not worry about using it to cook later."
"Thanks. That's very sweet of you." He looked in the display case for a few more minutes, then pointed to a very sharp, gold plated knife. "That one."
"We want that one," Yami Bakura shouted to the guy at the counter.
"Fine."
A few minutes later, they were walking out of the store, Bakura admiring his new knife. They were walking absolutely nowhere together when they both smacked right into Tea. She fell down and accidentally kicked Bakura in the head.
"Watch it bitch!" Bakura yelled, rubbing his head. "You kicked me in the head."
"Sorry! I didn't see you there!" Tea exclaimed. She stood up, but a second later Yami Bakura's hand was around her throat.
"Don't you ever touch my fiancée again!" he yelled, tightening his grip.
Her eyes widened. She tried to speak, but he wouldn't let go. When she started turning purple, he loosened his grip.
"You guys are…engaged?" she asked, massaging her throat.
His eyes widened. "How did you find out?"
"You…said it…yourself," she said.
He dragged her out through a side door. Bakura ran after them both and walked out just in time to see his yami snap Tea's neck. He tossed her body onto the ground.
"What was that for?" Bakura asked.
"I said it. She's got a big mouth. She would've told everyone, and I wasn't gonna let her do that." He grabbed her body and stuffed it into a garbage can. "We'll get it back later. But for now…" He dragged the garbage can til it was out of view, then grabbed Bakura's hand and half-dragged him back into the car.
Present day…"He killed Tea?" Yugi asked, horrified.
"Yup," Bakura replied with a laugh. "Bitch deserved it too."
"Wait a second…" Yugi said, pausing. He thought for a minute, then it clicked into place. "YOU GUYS ARE ENGAGED? WHY DIDN'T I KNOW?"
"Because it was none of your damn business," Bakura snapped. "And it was none of hers too, and that's why she died."
"You guys are sick," Joey said.
"Oh grow a backbone," Bakura said.
10 days ago…
"What did you do with the body?" Bakura asked the next day.
"Cut it up, shoved it into separate garbage bags, then dumped them in a fire," Yami Bakura replied. "You know, the usual."
"So, there's something I just thought of," Bakura said. "Tristan saw us the other day. What if he told Yugi where we were?"
"We kill him."
"So…I've been thinking about it."
"Yeah? And?"
"Tonight."
"…Ok then."
The phone rang. Bakura raised his eyebrows."I thought I disconnected it!" he exclaimed.
"You reconnected it last night," Yami Bakura said. "Right before bed."
"I'm an idiot."
He picked it up slowly, but didn't say anything. For a minute, there was no sound. Right when he was about to hang up the phone, he heard something crash. Then he heard someone pick up the receiver.
"I know you're there Bakura so pick up!" It was Yugi.
"It's Yugi!" Bakura mouthed to his yami.
"Hang up the phone!" he mouthed back.
But before he could, Yugi spoke again.
"I know you live there. Tristan called me to tell me where you were, then he followed you back home and found your number. He gave it to me. He's helping us. We're going to find you now. And you know it's true. You don't stand a-"
He hung up the phone, fuming. He walked over to the wall and ripped the plug right out. Then he cut the wire to permanently disconnect the phone.
"Asshole," he muttered.
"What did he say?"
"He said that Tristan called him and told him that we were here. Then he followed me back here and gave the address and number to him!"
"That bastard," he growled. "I'm gonna rip his throat out."
"And I'll help you do it." He sighed. "So should we worry?"
"No. If he shows up here, I'll kill him."
Present day…"So you did answer the phone!" Yugi exclaimed. "I thought maybe your yami had done it just to piss me off."
"Here's a question," Bakura said. "Did you call the first time?"
"No. I didn't know the number when that happened," Yugi answered.
"Then who was it?"
"Who knows? It could've been anyone."
10 days ago…
It was that night, and they were both dressed in the nicest clothes they owned. Bakura drove them out til his yami found where they needed to go, then hand in hand, they walked in.
"Who are you?" the guy in there asked.
"We need something only you can do," Yami Bakura replied. "We're gay. Got a problem with it?"
"Not at all."
Not too long afterwards…"You may kiss the, uh, other groom," the man said.
Smiling, Bakura leaned forward and kissed his yami as passionately as he could manage. After a minute, the man cleared his throat, so the two of them left.
"Where should we go now?" Bakura asked.
"I've got that taken care of," Yami Bakura replied. "We've got a nice little place on a beach in Florida to go to."
"How did you manage that?" Bakura asked in amazement.
"I killed the person it belonged to and took their plane tickets."
"But if you didn't know it was going to be tonight then why did you pick tonight?"
"Because if you didn't decide I was going to do it tonight. Now let's get going."
Present day…There was a moment of silence. Bakura was smiling while the other three were just staring at him, lost for words. After a minute, they seemed to come back to their senses.
"You got married?" Yami asked incredulously. Bakura nodded. "So that means that…Yugi! The ring you took off his finger! Is that the wedding ring?" Bakura nodded again.
"I figured it might have been either a wedding or engagement ring," Yugi said. "I actually thought it was a trust ring. You know, like the ones couples get after being together for a while. I wasn't expecting them to be married already."
"Well I'm glad to shock you all," Bakura said sarcastically. "Now, can you stop making a big deal out of this? The only two people who are allowed to make a big deal out of it are me and my yami."
"I just can't believe you got married," Yami said, shaking his head. "What next?"
"Oh this story isn't even close to being over yet," Bakura replied. "Just wait to see what surprises are in store for you next."
