Chapter 9

4 days ago…

"And earlier today, Serenity Wheeler was arrested for the kidnapping and possible murder of Tea Gardner, Tristan Taylor, and Duke Devlin. Devlin was found dead in their hotel room late that night, and since Ms. Wheeler was the only person to go into the room, she is the only possible suspect…" the news reporter's voice continued on, but Bakura wasn't listening.

"It worked," he said gleefully to his yami. "I can't believe it worked."

"I knew it would. They were already suspicious of Serenity so I figured I'd pin the blame on her and be done with it," Yami Bakura said.

"Well now we're safe," Bakura replied.

Present day…

"You got my sister arrested?" Joey asked faintly. Bakura nodded. Within a few seconds, Joey was attempting to throttle him. "I'm gonna kill you, you dumbass motherfucker!"

"Joey! Don't kill him yet! We're not finished with him!" Yugi exclaimed, pulling his best friend back. "Calm down."

"How can I calm down Yugi? He made sure my sister was sent to jail!" He was breathing heavily. "He needs to pay."

"And he will pay, but not til after we hear everything he has to say," Yami said. "Ok?"

"Fine," Joey said angrily, glaring at Bakura. "But I get the first dozen punches."

"You'll never hit your target," Bakura said with a laugh. "You've got no aim."

"If you don't shut the fuck up I'll forget what Yami said and knock the living shit outta you," Joey growled. "If you keep pissing me off I'll kill you."

"Oh yeah right. You don't have it in you," Bakura said. "You're too much of a goody-goody to kill someone. You may think you've got it in you but you don't. Anger and revenge won't get you very far in the homicidal world. You have to want to kill. You have to need to kill. You can't just think that you can kill me because I made your lame sister get arrested."

"Shut up," Joey said angrily.

"Ooh, someone's getting too pissy for his own good," Bakura said. "If you don't calm down you might explode in anger."

"If you don't leave me alone I swear to god I'll hurt you."

"Oh shut up Joey. You need to stop making stupid, empty threats. It's not healthy."

4 days ago…

"So how long do you think it will be before the police realize that Serenity's innocent?" Bakura asked.

"Never. I made the evidence so convincing I don't think they'll ever figure it out," Yami Bakura replied confidently.

"But they're the police. They always figure out everything in the end," Bakura pointed out.

"Yeah but by that time we'll be so long gone they won't be able to know where to begin to start," Yami Bakura said. "Don't worry about it. We won't get caught. And even if we do, nothing will happen to you. I'll take the blame for everything and you know it. You're safe."

"But what about the other Wheeler?"

"Well what about him?"

"Well, she's bound to call him and tell him what's going on. What if he comes down here and takes us both out?"

"Oh please. Wheeler has the most pathetic aim I've ever seen. I'd be more worried that he was trying to hit whatever's behind me. But I wouldn't be too worried about that anyway, since whatever it was probably didn't matter anyway."

'Joey's not as weak as you think. He does have bad aim but if he got close enough he would be able to cause some serious pain. But not nearly as much pain as we could cause, especially together."

"But Wheeler is pretty weak. I don't doubt that he could actually hurt someone if he got close enough, but he wouldn't be able to get close enough to us because we would kill him before he was anywhere near us." He gave him a hug. "You need to stop worrying so much and enjoy the fact that we're winning. We've got the advantage right now. We're at least five steps ahead of them."

"I know. But since you won't worry I have to. One of us has to remember that we're not as invincible as we act."

And maybe he should remember that, although they're several steps behind us, they know our greatest weakness, and they won't hesitate to use it against us. They know enough about us to hurt us mentally and emotionally, if not physically. I wish he wouldn't be so damn stubborn! It's making things way harder than they should be. If he would be a little worried every once in a while I wouldn't get upset about every little thing. But he's acting like we can be as outrageous and crazy as we want and I know that we need to play it a little safer. They will realize what we're doing and we will get caught, even if he doesn't believe that.

"You know, this deep in thought thing is really sexy," Yami Bakura said. "You should do it all the time."

"Oh stop it," Bakura said, slapping him playfully on the arm. "You know I've just got a lot to think about."

"I'm not saying it to discourage you," Yami Bakura said. "I'm saying it because it's true."

I wish he would tell me what he's always thinking about. It's really annoying to not know. I mean I thought he'd tell me everything once we got married but sometimes he's as remote as he was when we first started dating. I wonder how long it will take him to realize that I want to know what's on his mind and I won't make fun of him for it. He needs to trust me more than he does.

"Yami, when do you think it'll be safe to go back home?" Bakura asked.

"I don't know," Yami Bakura replied. "I mean, I'm sure they've got surveillance on our house 24/7 now since we got away. They'll wait for us to go back so they can catch us. We might never be able to go back." He paused. "Why, do you want to go back?"

"Of course I do. I miss our old home. I don't miss my friends or any of the idiots that live by us but I do miss the house," Bakura said. "Don't you?"

"Yeah I guess so," Yami Bakura replied casually. "But I don't think about what was. I think about what is and what is going to be. And you are the only thing in my life that I care about right now."

"And it better stay like that forever."

"You know it will."

Present day…

Bakura closed his eyes and sighed, trying to think of a way to get out of the stupid chair. The binds were hurting his hands and he was getting stomach cramps because of the ropes. Joey was off in his corner muttering to himself, Yami was still holding his gun in Bakura's face, and Yugi was using the bathroom. After a moment, Bakura's eyes snapped open.

"He's here."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the atmosphere of the room tensed. Joey jumped up and grabbed the nearest weapon. Yugi shot out of the bathroom and found his knife. Yami's hold on the gun tightened, but he held it up in a different direction, waiting for him to burst into the room. Yugi, having the most sense, ran over to the window and peered out of it. It was pitch-black outside, so he had to strain his eyes to see.

"I don't see anyone," Yugi said.

The door busted open and Yami Bakura walked into the house. He was armed with two rifles, four pistols, two butcher knives, and six sticks of dynamite. Joey's eyes widened, but he held tight to the bat that he was holding. Yugi looked wary, but Yami looked determined. He pointed the gun at Yami Bakura and slowly walked towards him. Yami Bakura held two of his pistols up, and the other yami stopped walking.

"That's what I thought," Yami Bakura said. "Now get the fuck out of my way."

Yami slowly stepped aside, motioning to Yugi to come towards him. They watched as Yami Bakura walked over to Bakura's chair.

"I knew you were coming," Bakura said happily. "I knew it."

"How could you think otherwise? I will always come for you," Yami Bakura replied, cutting the ropes off. "Where's the fucking key?" he shouted at Joey. Joey handed it to him regretfully.

"They've got my wedding ring too," Bakura said.

"Get me the ring," Yami Bakura said to Joey. "Now!"

Joey handed him the ring. Yami Bakura slipped it back onto his finger. He unlocked the cuffs and pulled Bakura to his feet.

"Thank you," Bakura said, kissing him.

Joey closed his eyes in disgust. Yugi fought the urge to smile, since he was a pretty big romantic. Yami, however, took advantage of the situation, took Joey's bat, and hit Yami Bakura over the head. He hit the floor. Bakura yelled out in rage, grabbed the first knife off of his yami, and stuck it right in Yami's arm. Yami dropped the bat and held his arm in pain.

"Come on, wake up," Bakura said, shaking his yami. "Come on, we gotta get out of here." He lifted his yami up and placed his arm around his neck to keep him from falling. He was walking to the door when Yugi decided to block it. "Move or I'll kill you."

"I'll kill you first bitch," Yugi said. "Now stop."

"Shut up and move or you'll regret it," Bakura said angrily.

Yami grabbed the bat off the ground and hit Bakura in the back of the head. He and his yami fell down on the ground. Yugi and Joey dragged the bodies to the back of the house into a windowless room. They tied them both up in chairs and waited. Yami walked in a few minutes later, his arm wrapped up to stop the bleeding.

"Are you ok?" Yugi asked in a whisper.

"I'm fine," Yami whispered back. "Don't worry about me. I'm tough. I'll get through it."

"How long do you think it will be before they regain consciousness?" Joey asked.

"Not long," Yami replied.

As soon as he said that, both boys' eyes opened. Yami Bakura immediately started fighting his binds, while Bakura glanced around him to find his yami's weapons, which, incredibly predictably, had been removed. Yugi walked over with a gun.

"Stop struggling or I'll put a bullet in your head," he said coldly.

"I don't think you'd do that," Yami Bakura replied. "You're too much of a do-gooder."

"Well my hatred for you two outweighs my desire to do good," Yugi said.

"You don't hate us," Yami Bakura said confidently. "You're too much of a goody-goody to hate."

"Yeah well I thought the same thing about Bakura but I was wrong," Yugi replied. "I never thought he could be such an asshole."

"Say that about him again and I'll snap your neck with my feet," Yami Bakura growled. "I won't let anyone trash-talk him."

"I know you're married to him but that's a little too overprotective," Joey cut in.

"How did you know-?" Yami Bakura asked.

"I told," Bakura said. "They were threatening you so I talked." He sighed. "Don't be mad."

"No I understand. Protecting me must be important to you, but protecting you is more important than protecting me," Yami Bakura said.

"Don't start with that crap," Bakura said. "You are more important to me than I am."

"Are you planning on continuing your story or are we going to have to kill him to get you to talk?" Joey asked, interrupting them.

"Kill him and you'll never know what happened," Bakura replied angrily.

"Just keep going."

"Yami, should I?" Bakura asked in a whisper.

"Do it. I wanna see their reactions," Yami Bakura whispered back.

"Ok," Bakura whispered. "Fine I'll do it," he said aloud.

"Good. I wanna get this over with."
