Chapter 69 days ago…
"Morning," Bakura said with a yawn, rolling over onto the floor. "Ouch."
"I bet that hurt," Yami Bakura said with a smile. He stretched. "But not nearly as much as I'm hurting right now."
Bakura sighed. "I told you that if it hurt too much we could switch."
"No. I'll be a real man about it and take the pain."
"You are so stubborn." He yawned again. "So, are you planning on staying in bed all day?"
"No. I may be in pain but technically this is our honeymoon so we need to enjoy it together."
"Fine. But I won't be carrying you anywhere."
He got up off the floor and walked into the kitchen. The place was very nice and clean, but Bakura felt there was something missing there. He couldn't think of what it was, since all he ever needed to feel at home was his yami. He sighed and started fixing himself some cereal. He heard his yami get out of bed and go into the bathroom.
Stubborn. That's all he is sometimes. I wish he wouldn't be. But I guess I can't make him change. I wonder if Tristan really did tell them or if Yugi found out some other way. I'm glad we're here though. No one can follow us all the way here. We can have some peace. But if we don't take care of Tristan soon, we're screwed.
"Thinking about something?" Yami Bakura asked, sitting next to him.
"Yeah. I was just thinking about what happened yesterday. With Yugi and the phone call. What if he finds us?"
"He won't find us. We're too far away now. And we've been careful enough to cover our tracks. Tristan is just an obstacle that will easily be taken care of. If I see him again I won't hesitate to kill him."
"Ok." He sighed. "What do you want to do today?"
"Go get sunburned to hell at the beach?" he suggested.
"Hmm…if you don't mind I'd rather skip the sunburned part and just hang at the beach all day." He paused. "But you wouldn't be allowed to kill anyone."
"Neither would you."
Present day…"Did you have to give us all the details?" Yami asked, annoyed. Joey was sitting in the corner, holding his ears and humming loudly. Yugi had been making sick faces the entire time.
"Well you wanted to know what happened," Bakura replied with a smile.
"Not the sex details!" Yugi exclaimed angrily.
"Is Joey gonna grow up and stop humming?" Bakura asked, ignoring Yugi.
"He's disgusted," Yugi said. "And so am I."
"How can you be?" Bakura asked in surprise. "You're gay!"
"That doesn't mean I have to hear about you and your yami. It's nasty."
"Shut up."
9 days ago…
"There's too many happy people here," Yami Bakura grumbled.
"We're happy people," Bakura pointed out.
"Yes, but that's because we just got married. These people are all happy because of all the sunshine and because they like to be around people."
"Oh just get over it and enjoy our time together."
He laid back in the sand, ignoring the fact that the sand was getting stuck between his toes. He knew he would regret this later, when it came time to shower, but he didn't really care all that much.
I wonder how long it will take them to realize that we left. If they do figure out where we went, will they come after us? I know yami said we covered our tracks well but it doesn't mean that we still can't get caught. I'm not worried about what they'll do to me when they find us. I'm worried about losing him. If they take him away I will blow their insides right out of their bodies.
"You look worried," Yami Bakura said, cutting into his train of thought. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing really," Bakura lied. His yami stared at him. "Fine. It's something, but it's not important."
"It's important if it's got you worried. So tell me what it is."
He sighed. "Fine. I'm worried about them."
"About them?" he repeated.
"Not about their well-being. About what they'll do when they find us."
"I won't let them do anything to you."
"Not to me. I'm worried about what they'll do to you. I'm worried that they'll take you away from me."
He grabbed him and pulled him into a hug. "They won't get the chance to take me away from you. And if they try to take you away from me, I promise that I'll be coming for you."
Present day…"Is that why you think he's coming for you now?" Yami asked.
"No. I know for a fact that he's coming for me," Bakura replied. "I can feel it."
"Yes well I don't think it's possible for him to come here," Yugi said.
"Oh it is. And he's getting closer. He'll be here sooner than you think he will," Bakura said.
8 days ago…
"Wow…that was pretty fucking painful," Bakura said, falling back onto the bed.
"Told you so," Yami Bakura replied, kissing him on the forehead. "Did you think I was kidding?"
"No. I thought you were exaggerating. If I had known it hurt that much, I would've just decided that a repeat performance of the night before would be better."
"And hurt me instead? That's so nice of you."
"You know I didn't mean it like that."
"Yes I know. Now, I'm going to take a shower now."
Bakura groaned. "Can't I go first?"
"Why do you want to?"
"Because I'm sore."
He yawned. "Fine. You can. I'm going back to bed."
"Ok then." He sighed. "So when are we going back to LA?"
"Tomorrow. That's when we're supposed to anyway. If you want to stay I can have it arranged."
"Our honeymoon is only three days long? That's new."
"Yes it is. Now, go shower or I will do it for you."
Later on…He stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist. He pressed his ear against the door to see if he could hear his yami sleeping, and sure enough he heard gentle, steady breathing. He smiled, then turned to wipe the mirror. He saw grains of sand still splattered in his hair and sighed. He walked back into the shower and attempted to wash them out again, but knew it was no use. The sand just wouldn't go away. He gave up and walked out of the bathroom. As soon as he stepped into the bedroom, his yami woke up.
"What are you doing?" he asked sleepily.
"Getting dressed. Don't look," he replied.
"Why not? We're married now. And I've seen you naked before." He smiled. "I wouldn't mind seeing it again."
"You will tonight if the pain fades away," he replied. "Unless you want it to be your turn. You seemed to enjoy it, even if you were in pain."
"As did you."
I wonder how long this could possibly last. I like living in a world where we can be together without anyone interfering. I like not having to worry about them or the cops looking for us. And even though killing is awesome, it's nice to know that we can go somewhere without either of us wanting to cause bloodshed.
"Thinking again?" his yami asked, once again cutting into his thoughts.
"How can you tell?" he asked, trying to hide his smile.
"I see it in your face. When you're thinking, you get this really spaced-out look and your eyes concentrate on whatever's straight ahead of you. And you pull on your ring finger."
"You read me so well."
"Of course I do. I believe that if you truly love someone, you should be able to know whenever they're thinking and whatever they're feeling and you should be able to tell when they're lying."
"I agree. But people don't always know what they think they know."
"You're right. But they can have a general idea."
He wants to be right all the time. Sometimes it's cute but sometimes it's aggravating. I just don't like how he knows when I'm thinking or when I'm worried because then I have to tell him and he'll overreact. I know he wants to protect me but I don't want him to get taken away from me. If he keeps killing everyone that threatens me, him, or our relationship, he'll get caught and sent to jail. And I don't know if I can live without him.
"You're worried again. What's wrong now?" he asked.
He sighed. "Can we not talk about it? I would just like to keep this one private."
"But you'll tell me eventually?"
"Yes. But for now, I want to keep it to myself."
"Will it be hurting you?"
"No. I just want to keep it to myself if that's ok with you."
"Whatever will make you happy."
After Bakura walked out, he got out of bed and headed into the bathroom to start his shower. He checked his hair first and saw that he still had grains of sand everywhere. He sighed, then turned on the water and climbed in.
I wish he would tell me what's wrong with him. I want to help. I know he's not shutting me out, but it feels like he is. If something's bothering him, I think I have the right to know. We're married now. Secrets aren't such a good thing anymore. I wonder if he knows something that's going on. Is he afraid to talk to me because he thinks I might kill someone? I don't want him to think he'll lose me. Because every day I fear that I'll lose him. And I don't know if I could keep living if I lost him.
"Yami! Are you in there?" Bakura asked, his voice muffled by the running water. He knocked.
"Yeah! I'm just taking a shower!" he yelled.
"Ok! I'm going outside for some air! Meet me outside when you're done!"
"Ok!"
I wonder…does he enjoy just sitting around and doing nothing? We don't go places a lot. I prefer just being alone with him where no one can see us. It's like this perfect little world where only we exist and no one is around to bother us. But when we go out in public, we're brought back to reality where people stare and judge us because we're not just like them. I don't enjoy going places and knowing we might kill someone. It's like a constant struggle, us running from the law. We cover our tracks well, but it can get tiring. But we both have short tempers when it comes to other people. But for some reason, we don't have short tempers when it comes to each other. I can't think of one time where he made me truly angry. We never even fight. I guess there are some parts of our world that are perfect. Other people may exist, but we don't fight.
He finally climbed out of the shower and went into the room to change. He walked to the front of the house and saw Bakura sitting on the porch, thinking and staring off into the distance. He walked outside and sat next to him.
"Hey you," he said, kissing him. "What are we going to do today?"
"I don't know. What do you wanna do?"
"I just wanna sit here with you all day. Holding you is better than going out," he said. "But later on I want to take you out for dinner."
"I thought you said you hated people."
"I do. But I love you, and since you like going out sometimes, I'll do it for you." He smiled. "And I do recall you saying that you hate people too. And don't deny it," he added when Bakura opened his mouth to protest. "We were walking in the park one day and these idiots were throwing a ball and it hit you in the head. You threw it back and told me that you hate people."
"That was one time. It doesn't mean I always do," he said.
"I know."
Present day…
"This sappy crap is boring me to death," Yami said. "When are you gonna get to the parts that we heard about?"
"What parts? What things have you heard?" Bakura asked curiously.
"Well, let's just say that Tristan wasn't the only reason we found you. Rumors go around and when people start saying things, even though they didn't give names, we figured out that it was you two," Yami replied.
"But we covered our tracks!" Bakura exclaimed furiously.
"Not good enough. Let's just say…you forgot quite a few things. And those things were critical."
Bakura opened his mouth to reply, then stopped. The insane smile reappeared, and he leaned his head back and started laughing. Joey was giving him a weird look, while Yugi's hand tightened around the knife. Yami groaned impatiently.
"What now?" he asked irritably.
"He's here!" Bakura exclaimed, laughing insanely. "He's here!"
Yugi looked out the window. "No he's not!"
"He just got here and he's on his way to this place!"
"How could he possibly get here? He didn't even know we took you back here!" Yugi exclaimed.
"He knew you'd take me back to your house, Yugi. You're too predictable. He's back in the country, and he's on his way here," Bakura said. "I told you he was coming, and there's nothing you can do to stop him."
