Chapter 7 - Guarded By Misfortune
He paced around the room, thinking about his current llife. A thief he has always been by nature, but never a killer. That was his employer's fault. Well, maybe not, since he and Malik were blackmailed by this very man, so 'employer' might not be the right word...
He never knew the man's name, but he had bright green hair and golden eyes. He was wearing a suit when they first met. But he never gave him or Malik his name. He also had three people by his side at the encounter. One had tan skin, blonde hair and brown eyes, another with brown hair and blue eyes, and the last with red hair and violet eyes.
All of them still fresh in his mind, and yet he can't give a name to any of them.
Concerning his new love affair with Yami in their current incarnations, he was a little worried about his lover. If this man discovered his newfound relationship, he could use him against him. Should he break up with him so that wasn't a problem?
But then, what of the life they had lived in Egypt all those years ago? The forbidden relationship they shared?
All of this was giving him a headache having thought about it for much too long. He decided to head downstairs to get food before his stomach drives him crazy.
Upon entering, someone called, "Good morning, Bakura!" from the kitchen.
"Good morning, Malik." he called in usual greeting.
"Malik?" Yami walked out of the kitchen with two bowls of fruit. "How in Seven Hells could you confuse me for him?"
Uh oh...
"Yami! You're up early." Bakura was shaking slightly. He was afraid he pissed off his lover with his stupidity.
"Well, Malik told me you don't really eat anything, so I thought-"
"Wait, what?" Bakura stopped him. Yami looked at him.
"Don't you remember?"
"Remember what?"
Yami set down the bowls and walked over to the albino. The former pharaoh takes him by the arm and drags him into the kitchen. When he suddenly releases him, he said, "Look on the fridge."
Bakura turned to his left to see a note posted on it. It read:
Bakura,
I'm going to be out of town for a little while.
It's probably going to take a couple of months before I return.
Don't forget to eat something. Try not to make a mess of things.
I'll be home by June.
Have fun with your new boyfriend! X3
~Malik
"That bastard! He could've warned me to say the least!" Bakura shouted, storming into the living room where Yami was sitting on the couch near the window.
As his lover ranted on about his roommate, he sat there watching him with a smile, thinking, *He's so cute when he's angry.* That's just about when said thief jumped on him.
"Ah! Bakura! Don't scare me like that!" Yami said, laughter laced into his voice.
"My apologies. I didn't mean to." the albino said before gently kissing his lips. The position they were in allowed Bakura to dominate at any time. He didn't expect Yami to flip their positions, though. He was surprised when Yami was suddenly on top of him.
"I don't think so." Yami laughed. He glanced out the window for just a moment, but that was all it took before those crimson eyes widened in fear. He pushed himself off the couch and ran into the kitchen.
Bakura followed him. "What's wrong? What in Ra's name are you doing now?" Yami ignored him as he tossed away the note.
"Yami?" His lover grabbed his arm and dragged him to the closet in the hallway and shoved him in it. "What is the meaning of this?!"
"They're here!" he whispered quickly.
"Who, Yami? Who's here?!"
"The police. They're at the door."
Bakura stopped to let those words sink in his mind for a moment. The police. The police!
The police were at his door!
"But how-"
"Just stay put!" Yami commanded. "I'll handle this!" He closed the door and went to answer the front door.
Bakura sat there in silence. He was just locked in a closet by his own lover with the police at his front door.
*Not a great way to start a week, now is it?* he thought bitterly.
*I just hope Yami knows what he's doing...*
Yami opened the door for the police. "May I help you with something, officer?"
The captain looked at the male. "Is Bakura Ceruno in this household?"
Yami looked behind the man. "He left yesterday with a friend. He'll be back in June." The captain rolled his eyes.
"How convenient!" one of the other policemen behind him called up.
Yami continued the charade. "I can take a message if you would like."
The captain walks inside. "Search the premises for anything. There has to be something here!" he commanded. The teen walked backward until all of them were inside.
"Go ahead, search this place to your hearts content." he acquiesed. "I rather doubt you're going to find anything, though."
"Would you mind answering some questions, kid?" he asked.
"Sure. How can I help you, sir?" Yami replied, being polite around his elders.
Yami had a talent with lying. Before she died, he lied to Serra about everything whenever it was convenient. She was the perfect person to practice on. This questionnaire should be a breeze.
Meanwhile, Bakura is still locked in the closet. Yeah, the police would have a field day with this if they found out his boyfriend locked him in here. Yami seems to have control over the situation.
But for how long?
~A/N: Bakura: You didn't have to lock me in there!
Yami: Everything was a little sudden! I mean, the cops show up at your front door, for Ra's sake!
Bakura: I have a basement for a reason, you know!
Yami: … Yeah, the situation was kinda rushed.
Sakura: Enough you two! Anyway, Please Review! X3
