After the shopping trip the day passed by very quickly. The next thing they knew it was time for Yugi, Yami, Ryou and Bakura to go home.
"I'll phone when I get home k Angel?" Bakura said as he left and gave her a quick kiss.
"You better because I'm going to sit by that phone all night if I have to." Shaolin smiled and waved as her friends walked down the street. Amzahi and Shaolin reentered the house and true to her word Shaolin pulled a kitchen chair over by the phone and sat on it staring at the phone.
"Are you really going to stay by that phone all night?" Amzahi asked.
"Yip I said I would and I am." Shaolin answered not taking her eyes off the phone. Amzahi sighed and headed to bed leaving Shaolin to her task of watching the phone.
OVER AT YUGI'S
"Would you really let Bakura marry Shaolin?" Yugi asked Yami as they got ready for bed.
"It's not like I can stop them anyway, now can I Yugi."
"I guess not." Yugi shrugged and climbed into bed. "Good night Yami."
"Night, Yugi." Yami said and vanished into his soul room.
Mean while Bakura and Ryou were walking home. Ryou glanced at Bakura who was deep in thought and had a sad look on his face
What's his problem?? Ryou thought as they entered the house. "Hey Bakura."
"Nani? What is it Ryou?" Bakura asked.
"Aren't you supposed to call Shaolin?" Ryou asked. "I get the feeling that she is waiting by the phone and it's getting later so call her, so she can get to sleep."
"You're right." Bakura smiled, picked up the phone and dialed Shaolin's number.
"Hello?" A soft, half asleep voice answered on the other end of the phone.
"Shaolin, its Bakura." He said quietly.
"Hi Bakura." She said and leaned against the wall.
"Did I wake you baby?"
"No." she lied and yawned, she had fallen asleep waiting for him to call.
"That's good." He said
"I'm goin to bed Bakura" Ryou said in the background.
"Night Ryou." He said and turned his attention back to Shaolin. "So what are you up to?"
"Nothing really, trying to stay awake." She said and curled up on the chair.
"Oh, did you want me to let you go so you can get some sleep?"
"That would be nice." She mumbled. "I'll call you tomorrow."
"Night Angel." Bakura said and hung up the phone. He walked out on to the balcony to think. I really don't want to do this but it is for her own good. I can't keep putting Shaolin in danger because of that obsessed freak. Bakura sighed and leaned against the railing and looked out over the city. I have to do it soon. Before Iyaka's stupid battle comes up. The demonic bitch just wants to see Shaolin dead and have me all to herself. Bakura sat on the patio chair, put his head in his hands and silently cried. Before long Bakura heard the faint chirp of birds. It's already morning? he thought and yawned. About an hour later he heard Ryou shuffling around in the kitchen, Bakura went to join him.
"Morning Bakura." Ryou said cheerfully.
"Eh?" Bakura grunted.
"Have you been up all night?" he asked.
"Nani?" Bakura asked obviously his mind on other things. "I'm goin for a walk, I'll be back when ever." He said, grabbed his coat and slipped on his shoes. Bakura left the house going no where in particular, his head hung low. He stepped out into the street not looking both ways before and almost getting hit by a car
"HEY BAKA GET OFF THE ROAD." The driver yelled.
"WHY DON'T YOU WATCH WHERE THE HELL YOU'RE DRIVING YOU JACKASS." He yelled and kicked out one if the headlights. Bakura turned and continued to walk across the road. He walked down the sidewalk thinking about his beloved Shaolin who he knew he would have to be separated from for a long time maybe even forever. I can't stand doing this but this is the way it has to be. he thought and started to cry again. After hours of walking aimlessly throughout the city with no destination in particular he found himself standing in front of Shaolin's house. How did I end up here? Bakura thought just as Shaolin came walking out to get the mail.
"Oh, hello Bakura I didn't know you were coming over." She said with a smile on her face.
"Neither did I." he mumbled.
"Do you want to come in?" she asked and walked in side. Bakura nodded and followed her inside. They walked in to the living room and sat down. "So… what brings you over here?"
"I…uhh…We need to talk." Bakura said seriously.
"About what?" she asked tilting her head to the side a little.
"We can't see each other any more." He blurted out and stood up. Shaolin's eyes welled up with tears.
"What? Why?" she asked totally shocked practically in tears.
"Because we can't." he said and walked towards the door as Shaolin grabbed him by the arm
"TELL ME WHY!" she cried at him.
"It's just better this way." He said gloomily and left, leaving Shaolin sitting on the floor crying.
