Chapter 8

6 days ago…

"I don't know why we have to do this," Bakura grumbled. They were driving all the way out to the nearest golf course, which wasn't nearby at all.

"Because we have to dump the ashes somewhere," Yami Bakura replied. "I thought about it and there's sand on golf courses. We dump the ashes in the bunker area and mix it all up in the sand and leave."

"Wouldn't it be easier to bury them or something?" Bakura asked, squinting when the sun flashed in his direction.

"It probably would," Yami Bakura replied. "But this is much safer."

"I wasn't aware that you cared about keeping things safe," Bakura said with a small smile.

"I care about keeping you safe, and that should be more than enough for you to be happy with," Yami Bakura replied.

Bakura sighed and turned onto the next street. He had no idea how long it would actually take him to get there, since they didn't exactly have a map and all he had to go by was a street name and the building near the golf course. He felt that this was unnecessary, and that his yami was being his usual paranoid self, but deep inside he felt better knowing that any evidence linking them to the crime was about to disappear. They had already cleaned all the bloodstains and painted over whatever wouldn't go away. Bakura wasn't upset that they had killed his former friend, and he didn't even care that they had killed about a dozen police officers. What he did care about was what would happen if the police interfered again, since it was obvious that Tristan had told Duke and Serenity that he had seen them, and Tristan's disappearance wouldn't go unnoticed.

"Maybe we should put out a notice to missing persons," Bakura said.

"And why would we want to do that?" Yami Bakura asked in a bored voice.

"So that way we won't be murder suspects again," Bakura replied. "If we're the ones that say he's missing, Duke and Serenity will go under investigation instead. They'll think that they had something to do with it since they didn't say anything when he disappeared. And by the time anyone realizes that they didn't do it, we'll be long gone and no one will be able to find us."

"You know, it amazes me how brilliant you can be sometimes," Yami Bakura said. "I would never have thought of that."

"So we're going to do it?"

"As soon as we finish up with this mess." He paused. "Ah, here we are."

They turned into the parking lot and Yami Bakura grabbed the container of ashes. Bakura was searching for anyone who might be watching, and after making sure the coast was clear, they headed over to the bunker. Bakura was keeping watch while Yami Bakura dumped the ashes and threw the container aside. He was dumped sand on top of the ashes and blending everything together so well it didn't look like they had done anything to it. He dusted off his hands and they ran back to the car, not speaking til they were long gone from the golf course.

"Let's head out to the police station and put in the notice," Yami Bakura said.

"I just thought of something," Bakura said. "What if they recognize us and try to arrest us like the other guys did?"

"They won't. I doubt everyone's looking for us. Looking for us is like signing your own death wish," Yami Bakura replied. "We're safe."

A little while later…

They had walked all the way up to the right floor, then started searching for the room number. They had snuck into the building, and were about to go find out how much Duke and Serenity really knew about what was going on. Bakura knocked on the door and waited for an answer.

"Yes?"

"Hey Serenity," Bakura said.

"Oh hey Bakura," Serenity said. "I heard that you were here."

"Where did you hear that from?" Bakura asked.

"Tristan, of course," Serenity replied. "He told me a few days ago." She frowned. "He hasn't come back from wherever he was going. I hope he's alright."

"I'm sure he is," Bakura said. "Does Duke know too?"

"Yes he does. But he's in the shower right now so he can't talk."

"Ok well we were just wondering. See you later."

"That bitch," Yami Bakura said the moment they had walked out of the hotel. "I can't believe she had the nerve to act like it was ok that she knew. I can't stand her or her idiotic brother. I wish they would both drop dead."

"Yami, you know that people don't just drop dead. You have to kill them first."

"Do you want me to kill her?"

"I don't know. Maybe."

He's more like me than I could possibly have imagined. Maybe that's why we're together. But whether or not he wants her dead, she'll die anyway. Nothing will hurt him. I'll make sure of it.

Next day…

A loud knock on the door woke Bakura up from his "pleasant" dream. He untangled himself from the sheets and grabbed a pair of pants. Making sure his yami was still fast asleep, he quietly slipped from the bedroom and made his way towards the front door.

"Mr. Bakura?"

"Yes?"

"You sent in the report on the missing Mr. Taylor?"

"Yes I did."

"Well, I'm sorry to say that we have reason to believe that Serenity Wheeler and Duke Devlin, very close friends of the missing Tea Gardner, are the ones who are holding him hostage. We found several of his belongings in the hotel room they're in. They said he was staying with them, but the hotel has no record of Mr. Taylor ever checking in or out of there."

Bakura was trying so hard not to laugh. The officer thought that he looked very upset and tried to get him to calm down.

This guy is a total idiot! I can't believe he fell for it! Yami said it would work if we did it the right way and we did. Dumbass officer.

"What's going to happen to them?" he asked, trying to keep his voice as neutral as possible.

"We don't know yet. But we'll alert you as soon as we do."

Bakura shut the door and walked back to bed, laughing insanely. He shook his yami gently, ready to tell him the great news.

"Yami, it worked! They fell for it!"

"That's good," he mumbled. He looked at him. "Get back in bed. You need more sleep." He rolled over. "And take off those pants."

Present day…

"I can't believe you," Yugi said. "That was low."

"If my sister gets in trouble because of you, I'll murder you and your fucked up yami. I swear on my life I'll get you for this," Joey said angrily. "Nobody does that to my sister and gets away with it!"

"Oh please," Bakura said, rolling his eyes. "If you touch me, he'll flay you alive. You know that. So don't make threats that you know you can't carry out."

Joey didn't reply. Either he couldn't think of something to say or he was shaking so bad he wasn't able to. Bakura couldn't tell, and he really didn't care.

"Don't try to provoke him," Yami said. "I'll make you regret it."

Bakura laughed. "I'm not afraid of you. And I've got no reason to be afraid of you. You're just some idiot who thinks he can make everyone tremble in fear just because a long time ago, people were scared of you."

"You know what?" Yami said. "I'm not afraid of you. You're just a pathetic excuse for a human being and I hope you and your yami rot in hell for all the things you've done."

"Leave my yami out of this, fuckhead," Bakura growled. "He's not here yet so don't talk about him like that."

"Fuck you."

5 days ago…

Yami Bakura had just climbed in the shower to wash off any of the "mess" they made earlier. He smiled to himself, thinking of all the good things that had come from leaving behind the idiots that had tried to ruin his life. He wondered if he would have married Bakura if they were still there, or if they would have waited longer.

I guess I'll never know. And I don't think I'll want to know. There are some things that are better left unsaid. I don't think I would change anything in my life right now. I'm happier than I've ever been in my entire life. And all the police business and aftermath of killing won't do a damn thing to mess up my happiness. I just wonder how he feels about having his former friends take the blame for something we did. I know he says that he likes it, and he acts like it, and it even seems like it, but deep down I have this weird feeling that the old him is still there, hidden under the new him.

Then a voice seemed to whisper No.

Well, if he doesn't care then I'll finish what I've started. I just don't want to do anything that will make him unhappy. If I cover my tracks well, they'll get arrested and we'll get away with it. And even though they both have alibis, it'll take forever for anyone to figure it out and we'll be as far away as possible by then.

He stepped out of the shower and began to dry off. He walked out of the bathroom and was greeted by a very sleepy, but still smiling Bakura. He was still wrapped up in the sheets.

"You didn't get dressed yet?" Yami Bakura asked in amusement. He leaned forward and kissed him. "I think that's really sexy," he whispered.

"That's what I was thinking when I saw you in that towel," Bakura whispered back. "But unless you plan on doing a little dance, you better get dressed so we can eat together."

"Would you like me to do a dance?" he asked curiously.

"I would love it, but not right now. I'm starving."

He got dressed quickly, and in a few minutes they were sitting at the table, eating their breakfast. Bakura was flipping channels to find something on tv when his yami grabbed his wrist to stop him from flipping.

"Leave the news on," he said.

"Why?"

"Because if Wheeler and Devlin get arrested, we'll know right away."

"The police said they'd tell us."

"I don't believe them." He sighed. "I hope all this bullshit finishes up so we can forget about the morons. After Devlin and Wheeler are taken care of, there's just Yugi, his yami, and the other Wheeler. After that, we're free. And all we have to do is make sure the police think we're taken care of and we'll never have to worry about that again."

"Won't we be on the run from the law still?"

"You don't need to think about that."

I wonder…my yami is a genius, but is his plan really going to work? I can't help but think that there's something very important that we're forgetting about. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. I don't know. It's just this weird feeling won't go away. I hope we didn't mess up, but deep down I can't help feeling that we might have. If we did, I hope we can fix it before it's too late.
