One Jump Ahead

Hey guys! Decided to write another one! This song is from Aladdin! :D

REVIEW!

Bakura laughed as the guards chased after him, a bag in his hand.

There were three guards with the head guard, Mariku.

Bakura began to sing as he ran.

"Gotta keep
One jump ahead of the breadline
One swing ahead of the sword!
I steal only what I can't afford!"

"And that's everything.." He mumbled.

Then suddenly he was cornered. He smirked.

"One jump ahead of the lawmen.
That's all, and that's no joke!
These guys don't appreciate I'm broke!"

He then jumped up onto a building, smirking at the guards.

"Riffraff! Street rat!"

"Scoundrel!"

Bakura then jumped off of a building as he landed next to another stand in the marketplace.

"Just a little snack, guys!" Bakura sang, looking back at them, shrugging.

"Rip him open, take it back, guys!" Mariku snapped.

Bakura then climbed into a window where two girls he knew, Kiyra and Isolt were dancing. Isolt was practically his girlfriend.

"I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
I ain't got no friends, oh boo!"

"Who?" Kiyra asked.

"Oh it looks like Bakura's hit the bottom!" Isolt teased.
Kiyra smiled, getting Isolt's drift. "He's become a a one-man rise in crime!"

An angry Jade stomped into the room, Kiyra and Isolt cringed as she did.

"I'd blame parents except he hasn't got 'em!" Jade snapped.

Bakura kissed Isolt on the cheek slightly.

"Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat,"

Then he began to jump out of the window, looking to Isolt as he did.

"Tell you all about it when I got the time!"

When he landed on the ground, he could see the guards running after him.

He began to run faster.

He then his behind a wall.

"One jump ahead of the slowpokes!
One skip ahead of my doom!"

Bakura smirked as they ran right past him.

Then he ran out from behind the wall.

"Next time gonna use a nom de plume!
One jump ahead of the hitmen!"

"There he is!" Mariku shouted, seeing Bakura run.

"One hit ahead of the flock!"

Bakura then ran straight through a crowd, getting through faster than the guards could; they were in a group.

He got out before they did and casually tiptoed away while the guards struggled with the crowd.

"I think I'll take a stroll around the block..."

"Stop, thief!" Mariku shouted as he got out of the crowd first.

"Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat!
Otherwise we'd get along!"

As Bakura ran, he plunged his dagger into a barrel which held red wine. It spewed out, causing Mariku to fall to the ground, slipping.

"Wrong!" Mariku snapped.

Bakura smirked and continued to run.

"One jump ahead of the hoofbeats!"
One hop ahead of the hump!"

He looked over his shoulders as more guards ran after her.

The thief then turned and threw a dagger at them.

"One trick ahead of disaster!"

"Scoundrel!" Mariku snapped as he just barely dodged it.

"They're quick, but I'm much faster!"

Mariku grabbed his own dagger and threw it at Bakura. "Take that!"

Bakura smirked, catching it by the handel.

"Here goes, better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landin'!"

Bakura looked as he ran towards a slight rift in the landscape. He smirked. Perfect.

"All I gotta do is jump!" He shouted before he jumped off the rift.

He fell without worry, landing on his feet.

Then he saw Mariku and his men stop at the top.

"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! GET HIM!" Mariku shouted.

The men hesitated.

As they did, Bakura had already gotten away.
