Chapter 9 - Escape
Bakura grabbed Yami's hand and fled to the back door. "Yami! Come back here! We just want to talk!" someone called from the top of the stairs. Yami felt tense as Bakura led him away from them.
"Don't worry, Yami. We'll be gone in a few minutes, I promise." Bakura assured him as he pulled open the door. However, the police appears to be quick on their feet because they were spotted in their attempt for escape.
"I thought you said Bakura wasn't here!" the captain yelled. Some of the guards managed to grab them. Instead of fighting for his own freedom, he wanted to make sure Yami didn't get dragged along with him. So, he fought until his lover was free.
Pushing him in front of him, he shouted, "Run, Pharaoh! Run and don't look back!"
Yami furiously shook his head. "I'm not going to leave you behind!"
The thief shouted, "Don't worry about me! Just get out of here!"
"No!"
"Now!" Yami had no choice as the guards closed in on him. With tears in his eyes, he took off leaving Bakura alone. The albino smiled. His love was safe.
Someone jabbed him in the back of his neck. His vision began to blur and he was feeling light-headed. "No..."
The last thing he saw was the captain smirking as he laughed, "Perhaps now you've learned your place, Bakura Ceruno."
*Yami...* was his only thought before the darkness swallowed his consciousness.
Yami ran back home and locked the door. It was no big deal. No one knows where he lives. He's been under the radar for eight years.
He went to his room in search of things for a jailbreak. He had a kit prepared underneath his bed. "Rule 2: Be prepared for anything." The former pharaoh walked to his dresser and located a black box containing pills in the event he gets caught.
The teen armed himself with a knife and a gun. "Rule 9: Never go unarmed." he mumbled. Yami had his own guideline of rules to follow since the incident...
He shook his head to keep those memories off his mind. Yami walked out the door and locked it behind him. The male knew exactly where they took his boyfriend.
*I'll be damned if I just leave him there.* he thought as he began heading for the Domino City Prison.
"I'm getting you out one way or another, Bakura." he whispered. "Rule 1: Never leave your lover behind."
The thief woke with a terrible headache. "Damn it..." he groaned as he struggled to sit up. "Let's see, where the hell am I now?" He surveyed the area, assessing all the ways for a possible breakout. His vision cleared a little to see that he was locked in a white room with no visible way of walking in or out.
"Well, there goes that idea..." the albino mumbled. Bakura attempted to stand, but he realized his ankles were cuffed together as well as his wrists. "What the hell..." he sighed irritantly. He thought these people would've learned by now!
Within moments and with the aid of a paper clip hidden on him, he was free of his bonds and was wandering the room.
*I hope Yami's okay...* Bakura prayed as he tried to find some sort of exit out.
Yami walked into the building without alerting anyone. If Bakura didn't know he was here, he will soon enough.
A guard caught his attention. "Hey, visiting hours are over. Go home."
The former pharaoh glared at him. "This isn't a social visit. I came to retrieve something of mine."
The man laughed, "Oh, really? Enlighten me, then. What exactly have we taken from you?"
Yami approached him with an icy gaze. "My lover."
"Your lover? Well, I don't think you'll find her here!" he smirked. That look was wiped off his face when he was taken by the throat. Yami smiled, "I don't think you understand." He let the unconscious man slump to the floor. "I came here... for Bakura Ceruno."
~A/N: Yami will stop at nothing to retrieve his beloved thief! Who would've thought the Pharaoh would break into prison for a thief? This should be fun! I got the idea from watching an episode of NCIS. Those of you who want a copy of Yami's moral code, PM me or email me and I'll send it to you. They will be used and may be changed to match the story at any time. Please Review! X3
