I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! Only my own characters and plot. So please enjoy! And review!!
~*Last time*~
"Do you think going back to David will be that place?" He asked me seriously. I shook my head.
"No…..but it's the only place I have left." My voice cracked as I started pulling on the door handle.
"Joey do something." I heard Tristan say as the door closed behind me.
'Please show me.' I thought holding out my necklace.
Then I ran.
~%*%~
The bottom of my necklace glowed as it pointed towards a place I was unknown to.
'Please let it be somewhere safe.' I begged in my mind.
I turned a sharp corner almost falling. There were apartment buildings.
The glowing got brighter as I walked towards them. I got to the third building and it pulled me forward some. I walked up four flights of stairs until I got to the door that made the necklace whip around uncontrollably. I held it tightly with both hands as it stopped. I looked at it and sighed knocking on the door.
I didn't know where I was, but I most likely knew the person.
The door clicked open and Bakura stood there. He had on a white wool sweater and a green undershirt with some jeans and white socks. His hair was the usual white long hair and his eyes were just as curious as earlier.
I blushed and held onto my necklace.
'You brought me to Bakura's house!?!' I thought in disbelief.
"Tamaya?" He asked stepping more out of his house.
"Oh! Ah-ehehe." I looked around the hallway like I didn't know who he was and pointed back down the stairway.
"Well this isn't the right house. Sorry to bother you sir." I said quickly walking back towards the stairs.
"Wait!" I stopped a little surprised and looked back at him. He stood with his arms behind his back and his head tilted to the side cutely.
"I can almost guaranty you didn't come to my apartment building, that's on the other side of town, by accident." He said smiling softly. I blushed again looking at the railing and traced the design on it.
"W-Well no. I just-"
"Please come in." He said going back into his house. He left the door open so that I could come in or leave.
'Well go on! He's the one your heart thought of second.' A voice said. I blinked.
I looked around and contemplated.
'Well it lead me here. It's never been wrong before. If my friends or David don't find me here I'll take it.' I thought grabbing onto my necklace tightly.
I slowly went back up the stairway to Bakura's open door.
I walked in and the living room was huge. I shut the door behind me and took my shoes off. I put my bag down and set my shoes on top of them next to the door.
I pulled my skirt down and walked into the living room slowly. It was big considering it was for one boy. It had a great view of the city though. I looked over at the pictures that were there on the table right in front of the couch. I leaned over some to get a better look at them
One was of a little girl and her parents. The other one was of Bakura as a little boy playing with the little girl. The last one was of the little girl crying by herself.
I looked at the picture and instantly knew how this girl felt.
Sad, alone, hurt, and guilty.
"Why am I here?" I asked myself standing up straight again.
"Because you needed to come here for something." Bakura said smiling. I turned around to the sudden voice.
"I'm sorry Bakura! I didn't mean to-"
"No it's alright. You didn't do anything wrong. Téa did the same thing." He said standing next to me to look at the pictures also.
I looked at him for a moment while he stared at the picture.
I could almost feel the sadness radiating off of him. No matter how much he tried to cover it up with his smiles.
He looked at me.
"So what brought you here Tamaya?" He asked me going to sit down on the couch. I stood there for a moment.
'What did my heart bring me here?' I thought confused. Then my necklace flashed. I grabbed it and walked over to the couch.
I sat with my legs under me and I face Bakura. I stared at him.
"Why would it lead me to someone who started at our school just today?" I mumbled staring harder at him. Bakura looked at me with those big chocolate eyes.
"What are you talking about Tamaya?" He asked me sitting up some more. I shook my head looking away.
"Nothing. I don't know what brought me here actually. I just…….I needed some place far away from there. My legs lead me here. I didn't know it would be your home Bakura." I said looking at him. He smiled.
"I think you needed to talk to someone." He said crossing his legs on the couch facing me. I shrugged.
"Maybe." I mumbled looking out into space. I looked back at Bakura to see him looking at me confused.
"Bakura, can I stay the night here?" I asked looking at my hands. I looked back at Bakura to see him smiling warmly.
"Of course. I have a guest bedroom down the hall." He said getting up to show me. I followed him to the bedroom. It was a good size. I looked back at Bakura.
"Thank you. Very much." I said smiling. He nodded turning to leave the room before he stopped to turn back to me.
"When you would like to tell me what your running from……I'll be in the living room." He stated smiling before walking out.
I blinked. Then my necklace started glowing and pointed towards the window.
I went over to the large window and saw David walking down the street leading to the apartments. He was holding what looked like a GPS devise.
Out of no where my necklace started beeping.
'Wait beeping?'
I flipped it over and on the back was this small red chip and it was glowing. In small letters it read,
"Child saving system"
I scoffed.
'Saving system my ass!' I looked back out the window and saw David looking at me with a smirk before running off towards the apartment I was currently in. I grabbed my bag before I ran into the living room where Bakura was sitting reading a book.
"Bakura! What ever you do, don't open that door!" I yelled making him jump in slight surprise.
"T-Tamaya! What are you-" There was some banging on the door.
Bakura got up and went to answer it. He opened the door and David was there leaning against the door frame slightly.
David was wearing blue jeans and his brown combat boots. He had on a black t-shirt with a black leather jacket over it. His hair was a brown color and was short like a normal guys hair style. His black eyes locked onto my golden ones instantly.
"Hello. I'm here to pick up my little sister. There has been a huge misunderstanding hasn't there, Tamaya?" He said walking into Bakura's house.
Bakura looked at me and I was scarred.
I watched David get closer and closer to grabbing me before all I saw was Bakura's back.
"I'm sorry, but I don't think she wants to come with you at the moment." Bakura said with a protective arm in front of me.
I stared at Bakura.
"B-Bakura…"
"She doesn't have a choice." David said getting a bit angry. I put an arm on Bakura's back and got behind him a bit more.
"I actually believe she has all the choice in the world. Now if you would please leave my house." He said calmly. David scoffed before lunging at us.
I screamed slightly and Bakura pushed me out of the way. We both ran for the bedroom.
Bakura slammed the door shut as I pulled out my cell phone.
"Where are you Tammy?!!" Joey yelled out of breath on the other end of the line. I looked at Bakura who was holding the door.
"I'm at Bakura's house! I need your help Joey!!! Please help me!!" I begged my voice breaking. No matter how scarred I was though, no tears formed.
"Okay hold on where is Bakura's house?" He asked me running. I could hear Yugi, Tristan, and Téa in the background.
I looked at Bakura for help. He was putting all his weight on the door. He looked at me with one eye open.
"9865 North Domino Apartment number fourteen." He said. I nodded.
"9865 North Domino Apartment number fourteen. Do you know where that is?" I asked in slight panic.
"Yeah I heard him. I know exactly where that is Tammy. We'll be there in a few minutes. Hang on!" He yelled then the line went dead.
I looked at my phone.
The door burst open sending Bakura flying into me. We both landed on the floor with a thud. Bakura was laying on his side unconscious facing me. I sat up and crawled over to him.
"B-Bakura? A-Are you okay?" I whispered touching his forehead lightly.
"See what you did? You could heave simply come with me. But you just had to run away." David said walking up behind me. I just looked at Bakura.
'I'm so sorry Bakura.' I thought shutting my eyes tight. Then I felt this tight grip on my hair.
"AHH!!!" I screamed as I started being dragged into the living room. I struggled as he dragged me across the carpet that was now giving me carpet burns on the back of my legs.
"LET ME GO!!!" I screamed pulling on my hair. I hit him in the groin and he automatically let go of my hair. I crawled away quickly hurting my burning legs.
I looked up for a split second and saw Bakura coming from the room slowly.
David stopped and looked at Bakura.
"You can stop now. I've caught her." He said chuckling a bit. Bakura shook his head.
"She….is……..my friend…..and you're…..hurting….her…." He said pointing towards my bleeding legs.
"Tamayaaaaa you can't leave. You have no where else to live." David sang sickeningly. I paled viably as he said my name.
"I-I know but….." Bakura looked at me in surprise before grabbing his chest in pain.
"NOOO!" He yelled.
I looked over at him.
"Are you okay?" I said. Bakura was still for a moment before a very angry look came on his face.
I flinched back slightly. Bakura had changed like Yugi changed back in the shop. His hair was pointed in more directions than Bakura's. Part of his bangs were a little more spiked.
He sat up slowly from grabbing on his heart and opened his eyes. I looked at him in slight shock. Bakura's chocolate soft eyes were gone and replaced with darker brown ones that were very angry.
But that wasn't what shocked me the most. It was the fact that a Millennium item was hanging around his neck. I looked at it as it shinned before I thought about what Bakura said to Yugi earlier.
~*Flashback*~
"Wow is that a Millennium item?" Bakura asked in slight shock. Yugi grinned.
"Yeah it is! I actually finished it last night." Yugi said holding it in his hands. Bakura smiled.
"May I?" He asked pointing at the puzzle. Yugi grinned.
"Sure." He said talking it from around his neck. Bakura looked at it closely.
"This is magnificent. I have one-" He cut off from what he was saying and grabbed his chest in a pained manner.
~*End of Flashback*~
'He was trying to say he had a Millennium item also wasn't he.' I thought looking at his face. It was so different from Bakura's. It was a different person all together.
His eyes snapped to mine making me freeze. Then he looked at David.
"You have done enough damage to my new master. It's time for you to disappear." Bakura's voice was rougher and darker. Even with the accent he still had.
He pointed to David and then his Millennium item shined. I looked at David as he got this blank look on his face. His eyes turned empty and then he started to fall over.
As he hit the ground with a thump all I could do was stare blankly at him.
I looked back at Bakura who was now looking at me with that same gaze.
"Why did you put up with such nonsense." He said coming over to me. I just looked at him before I looked down.
"I don't know. I just had no place to go if I went anywhere else." I said trying to get up. My legs burned but I blocked out the pain and I walked over to Bakura.
He just stood there watching my movements.
"What did you do to him?" I asked once I got in front of him. He just started to smirk.
"I sent him to the shadow realm. He won't be back for a while." He stated going back to the front door. He shut it and then went to stand over David's unconscious form.
He picked him up and then set him on the couch on his back. Bakura turned back to me.
"So, aren't you going to cower and scream like the helpless mortal you are?" He asked me eyes gleaming with mischief. I stood there for a moment before shaking my head slightly.
"No. There's no reason to. Your only Bakura." I stated going towards the kitchen to get a wash rag. I heard him huff before it went silent.
I put cold water on the towel and set it on my leg. I hissed in pain as it touched my burn marks. I turned around and leaned on the counter.
Bakura walked in and looked to be back to normal and his Millennium item was gone.
"Oh my! Let me help you Tamaya." He said coming over to me. I smiled and nodded.
He helped me over to the table and I sat down in the chair. He went to get the first aid kit and I groaned as he came back in with rubbing alcohol.
"That's gonna burn even more!!" I wined pulling up my legs slightly. Bakura shook his head rolling his eyes.
"It's will make it feel better after a while. Your worse than a child." He said coming over and sitting a chair down besides mine.
I put my legs down reluctantly and he started helping my legs.
"Owchies!!" I wined flinching at the touch if the alcohol. He smiled but held onto my leg.
"Almost done. And there you go!" He said rapping the rest of the leg in a bandage. Then there was a panicking banging on the door.
Bakura got up quickly with me behind him.
When he opened the door Joey, Yugi, Tristan and Téa ran in.
"Tamaya!!" Joey and Yugi yelled in unison.
I stood there looking at them. Before I smiled.
"H-Hey." I said waving a bit. Joey looked at my legs before Yugi embraced me in a tight hug. I stood there wide eyed while I kept us steady.
"Y-Yugi what's wrong?" I asked quietly. He just kept shaking and held me tighter.
"You're not aloud to run away anymore." He cried into my neck. I just smiled and hugged him back.
"I know. I won't. I promise." I whispered to him. He let me go and smiled.
"Tammy what happened to your legs?" Joey asked pointing at my bandaged legs. I blinked before looking at Bakura.
"Tamaya's brother came to pay us a little visit." He explained pointing to the couch.
"Let me at him!" Joey yelled holding out his fist. I held him back.
"No Joey! He's already knocked out!" I said trying to keep him at bay.
Tristan went to look at my brother and nodded.
"Yep. He's out cold." He stated walking back over to us. Bakura blinked.
"He's was just on the couch like that when I woke up." He said turning to me. I blinked.
"But don't you remember Bakura?" I asked looking at him questionably. He looked at me with pure confusion.
"Remember what?" He asked looking at me. I just shook my head.
"T-That you got knocked into me and got knocked out. You hit your head to hard on the floor." I explained smiling. He nodded.
"Yes I do remember being thrown into you. Now that I think about it, that sort of hurt." He said grabbing the back of his head slightly. I giggled.
"Yeah you hit it pretty hard." I said looking at it slightly.
"Tamaya why did you run to Bakura's house?" Yugi asked me with a slight frown. I shrugged my shoulders.
"To be honest with you, I didn't even know where Bakura lived. I just ran to where my instincts took me." I said looking at Yugi with a smile.
"It brought me some where safe at least." I said softly. Bakura nodded and I looked back at Joey who was trying to strangle my brother.
"Okay lets go." I said grabbing my bag. Everyone walked out of the door and I waited behind. Bakura was looking at me a bit sad.
"What's wrong?" I asked walking up to him. He looked away.
"I thought it would be nice if I had someone here with me for a night." He said looking back at me. I smiled warmly.
"I could still stay. There's no where else important for me to go." I said smiling. His eyes brightened.
"Really?" He asked excitedly. I nodded walking over to my brothers sleeping form.
"First we need to get him the hospital." I mumbled. I pulled out my cell phone and called 9-1-1.
