Chapter 5 - What Do I Do Now?

During the night, Bakura allowed Yami to sleep with him that evening. When dawn came around, the albino woke to see he had disappeared. Thinking he had just gone downstairs, he got up, took a shower, and had gotten himself dressed before heading down to the kitchen.

Looking around, Yami was nowhere to be seen. He started breathing a little faster. "Malik?" he called, checking to see if anyone was home.

"Yes, Bakura?" the male called back.

"Have you seen Yami?"

"No, I haven't. Why?"

Bakura's breathing was becoming more and more shallow, beginning to panic. "I can't find him anywhere!"

"What do you mean you can't find him?" the blonde demanded.

"It's like he just vanished without a trace. He wasn't asleep when I woke up this morning. I thought he just came down here because he was bored or something." Bakura stated simply. Yami was gone and they had no idea where he went.

"Well, he couldn't have gotten very far." Malik thought aloud. "Especially in the condition you found him in the other day. I mean, where could he possibly run off to?"

They noticed that there was smoke coming from the backyard. "What in Ra's name-" the blonde began before Bakura quickly dashed outside.

Once they got there, they saw the former pharaoh setting leaves on fire. "Oh, good morning." he called to the duo. The last leaf in his hand went up in an emerald blaze until it disappeared.

"What, are you a pyromaniac as well?" the thief asked while Malik stared at him in disbelief.

"Maybe a little, but at least I'm not committing arson."

Malik laughed, "He does have a point, Bakura."

Bakura stared Yami in the eye and sighed, "Don't ever scare me like that."

The crimson-eyed male randomly pulls out a few feathers and lights them using Shadow Magic. The flames turn a gorgeous dark azure color as the items were swallowed whole.

Bakura couldn't really say anything against it. If he was having too much fun killing his victims or he was just having a bad day, he would sometimes set the corpses ablaze so no one could recognize them. Well, the albino set two of his victims on fire at least twice a month.

Yami then decided to walk back inside. He was already bored of setting things on fire and he was hungry. Malik watched him before following his lead. Bakura stood there watching the empty space for a moment before realizing that he was no longer there.

He ran back inside to see Malik cursing at the stove because he got burned and his lover holding two plates of food. He handed one of them to the albino and sat down on the couch. Bakura smiled and sat beside him. Once they finished eating, the both of them fell asleep on the couch.

Malik smiled at the sight while he was collecting their dishes. Yami opened his eyes to see the spiky haired blonde. He winked at him before he fell back asleep. Malik quietly laughed to himself, hoping he didn't wake up his friend. Something was going to happen tonight, and he knew what it was.

That evening, the thief woke around nine. He didn't realize he had slept that long until he noticed Malik pulling out a suit. "Malik, are you going somewhere?" he curiously inquired as the male in question turned his attention to him.

"Nope, you are." he responded with a grin.

Bakura's mind stopped for a moment. He was still a little tired, so he asked, "I'm sorry, but I wasn't aware I had plans tonight."

He looked around for Yami, but he was nowhere to be seen. "Say, where's Yami?"

"He's running an errand. He'll be back within the hour." Malik answered.

The thief stared at him. He could tell that his friend was lying to him. He smiled evilly and thought, *So, that's how he's going to play, hm? Well, two could play at that game!*

"Did he ever say where he was going?"

"No. Now, put this on." The blonde tossed the suit over to him. Bakura caught it with one hand and said, "I'm not doing anything until you explain what is going on here."

"Look, either you get dressed or I'll dress you myself." Malik growled, slightly impatient with the male's attitude. He glanced at a nearby clock and mumbled, "You'll be late if you don't hurry."

He looked back at the thief and called, "I'll be in the car when you're ready." before running outside with the car keys and slamming the door.

Bakura looked at his suit in confusion before quickly putting it on and running outside to the car.

"About time!" Malik sighed before looking out the front window. He grinned as he said, "Let's see if I could make it in time."

Bakura asked, "In time for what?"

Of course, Malik ignored him and practically floored the gas pedal. The albino had to hold on to something as the vehicle practically went forward at high speed.

It was a life-threatening twenty minutes for him before Malik pulled over. Bakura began catching his breath from the experience as he looked over to his right. It was a restaurant.

"Malik, why did you bring me here?" Bakura asked as he opened the car door and stepped out.

Once he did, Malik quickly shut the door, cackling, "Have fun on your date!" before he drove off laughing hysterically, leaving a beyond pissed off albino.

"That bastard!" Bakura shouted. He had no choice but to enter the restaurant. Marik had said to have fun on his date. But with who?

A waitress called his name. "Bakura Ceruno?"

He glanced over to her and hesitantly replied, "Yes?"

She smiled. "You have a reservation. Follow me, please."

Confused, he was led by the brunette to a table. Once Bakura saw who was sitting there, his eyes widened in shock. Yami was sitting there with a smirk on his face.

"I'm glad you could make it, love."

~A/N: It may be more and more difficult for me to type up my stories from here, but I'll try my best!

Bakura: That was a dirty trick, Yami!

Yami: Well, how else was I supposed to get you over there?

Bakura: You could have warned me!

Yami: But that would spoil the surprise!

Sakura: Please Review!
