-chapter 5 – Ring around the facility
Later during that same day Bakura was still on his warpath. As a few miles from the Yokohama coast was a secret research facility… where various staff members were going about their work as the day was approaching sundown preparing for night shifts. In a neatly vase adorned office where was a well tailored man in a black suit when there was a knock at his office door. "Come in Kigaragi." He said to the person coming in.
The door opened his light brunette secretary entered with her usual cheerful smile. A mug of coffee was in her shaky hands. "Top of the afternoon to you Chief Kurama." She placed the half empty mug on his desk.
"Same to you young lady." He took the mug and had a long drink then tasted something off then spit it out as it was bittered. "You said this was the French Roast?"
Looking a bit frazzled at the man she suggested an idea. "Here let me try it sir." Tasting the stuff she spit it out too in then let out a few coughs. "I call that the American. Nobody likes the stuff I complain and complain but they keep ordering it."
"That's the higher ups for you… today's just one of those slow days I guess." The chief replied.
The young lady then scratched her chin in thought. "Slow days are good less hustle and bustle to do makes everybody's job here easier I think."
The lass then left the man to his frankly slow work. As she left Kurama wondered one more time what she would think if she knew what they were really working on here. She along with much of the support staff only knew they worked at a research facility. The exact nature of that research was a carefully guarded secret.
But he did it to protect innocent lives like her and frankly everyone there so it suited him at the moment. He leaned back in his swivel chair and propped his feet on his desk. "Well the day may be boring but isn't that bad as none of those monsters are trying to escape so everyone is safe. A boring facility is a safe facility. And a safe facility is one with no body counts."
The door opened again as he thought the young lady forgot something. "Forget something Kigaragi?"
"Sadly no old friend at least not someone as pretty as her." Kurama heard a distinctly male sounding voice… it was the Director Kakuzawa Jr. followed by his elder the "Professor" alias Kakuzawa Sr.
"Sadly indeed… but there's something that worries us both. This Duelist Elite Tournament thing that's swept over the town." Kakuzawa Sr. added and elaborating on what the younger was thinking up.
"It's a waste of time… that American fool Maximillion Pegasus and his childish card game. I managed to catch a few guards rambling on about missing it and confiscated a few decks from several staff workers. The idiots." Kurama said leaning back in his chair.
The three's attention was broken by a technician over the comm. system. "Uh Mr. Kurama sir Um Kakuzawa Senior and Junior I've err you've got a young man who really wants to talk to you… he claims it's very urgent and important on the survival of humanity VS the Diclonii."
"Make it so send him in… We might get some answers finally." Kakuzawa Junior said getting thoughtful over the issue.
The office door opened revealing what they thought was a college freshman dressed in basic jeans, a grey tank top with a lavender windbreaker over it. His oddest quirk was his light lavender hair likely dyed. This was far from what the three were expecting to meet. "Hello may I have a seat? I'm Ryou Bakura and I've an important message to give you three. I'll get straight to the point… there's a threat far worse than the Diclonii that's going to engulf the city then the world."
"Ok then tell us about it… how do you know about the Diclonii and what's the supposedly worse threat?" Kurama asked the young man interested. A threat even more powerful than those horned beasts? It was just crazy to believe.
"Yes explain." Senior added getting impatient.
"Well have you heard of the Millennium Items? I'm a collector of them. If all seven are brought together… the crazed and powerful beast of the Shadow Realm a place of death, ruin, with souls trapped forever within it. The beast is called Zorc the Dark One will awaken and devastate modern earth. I've managed to acquire a few over the years including my personal item the Ring. Observe." Bakura took out what appeared to be a midsized solid gold ring with a triangle with a symbol resembling an Egyptian eye hieroglyph.
"As I've said I've found or acquired a few more like the Necklace, Eye, and the Rod." Bakura continued setting a golden eyeball, a bladed rod and necklace upon Kurama's midsized desk for the three to see. "The Yokohama Duelist Elite Tournament is a sham… it's a plot to resurrect Zorc. As the players duel they give off energy from their soul's which will fuel Zorc until finally after enough energy is absorbed he'll revive. He'll make all the Diclonii look like mere toys is that what you three all want hmm? And what's worse a powerful Diclonius is hidden amongst the duelists… Kaede Motou the "Psychic Queen of Games" can you afford to let one of those monster's stay loose out in public?" Bakura questioned them all. "It is best to stop her now before a massacre happens."
"Hmm… what do you two think of this?" Junior went asking the other two men in the office.
Senior went about sitting himself down deep in thought. "A Diclonii out there free we have to capture her… it's the only way the city will be safe not to mention the whole world. We can't afford not to act on this Bakura."
Bakura's small lips curled into a sly looking smile which gave even the likes of both Kakuzawa's the creeps. "Excellent I said it'd be in your best interests to listen to me and I wasn't lying. My expertise on the nature of the Shadow Realm will be of a great help to you three. But I require a personal office and research material… to prevent an unholy Diclonii induced apocalypse. Thank you for your precious time gentlemen… I'll be going to the nearby lounge awaiting your decision."
Bakura got up fetched all his items and then out the door he went as he three had a lot to talk about. Both of the Kakuzawa's had a lot on their minds. "A Diclonii out there walking loose? It's like the young man said it's a massacre waiting to happen."
"But his knowledge of the Diclonii and our stray Diclonius may be useful… I say we keep him around but under strict watch in case of trouble." The chief added to the pair. "It's best if we keep this "Bakura" under strict observation until we can be sure of his intentions."
-meanwhile
At that exact moment Bakura was walking along the halls keeping an eye or two open for security cameras… so far nothing until he rounded a corner when suddenly there was a collision. He fell square on his butt while the person he ran into did the same except it was a she. It was a certain brunette haired girl who also dropped her cup of coffee spilling it all over the floor. "Oh damn… the chief's coffee sorry sir I am so sorry. Here lemme help you up."
The girl then went about helping Bakura up back to his feet. "Err thank you… lemme thank you a bit more properly then."
The brunette had honestly no clue what the boy was referring to in the least. "Huh?"
Bakura whipped out the Millennium Rod and used it to keep control of his "help". "Your mind is under my power now… obey my commands girl."
The young secretary's pained response showed the Millennium Item collector she was under his spell. "Ahhhh… Ergh!" She cried out. "Yes master I'm yours to command Bakura."
"Alright then your first order of business is… keep an eye on the chief, director and professor for me." Bakura instructed her and gave a final order. "Now leave me without a sound." The secretary went off down the hall without a peep then disappeared behind the corner. "The fools they're making this too easy for me."
-to be continued
Well this is start of the real plot… Bakura's working from behind the scenes using the three men for his personal dirty work so my apologies if it was too short. How was the chapter? Was it dark enough? Yes Bakura was using the Rod and Necklace from the Ishtar's. How'd he get them? It'll be explained down the road so please be patient it was spur of the moment for now… until I can come up with a better explanation.
