บท 32: Seto Kaiba's Fun-Filled Mission (Part 3)
DIMENSION: MANGA (The One Who Saves the Day)
Bakura's Home
"See, I told you it was fun," Yuugi said as he sat in the Game Master's chair.
Anzu had to admit, it was better this time not having her soul shrunken down into the Monster World dolls. ///Anzu: A week ago, I never would have believed that I would be here. Playing with Yuugi and Bakura in Monster World./// It felt like it was several steps up in the right direction.
///Satiah: You really should seek advice from the village. That's what I would do. Oh look, Yuugi has another person on the other side waiting below a rock! He's probably important. You should try going that way from the hottie.///
Not to mention, Satiah seemed to almost come to life in the game. Which was great except for one thing. She kept saying Bakura was perfect for her. Even though he used to house the King of Thieves, even looked almost like him, except for the scar, he was supposed to be perfect for her. But not because of love.
"Let's see what I can roll," Bakura said as he rolled the dice. "Great, a ten. Now, where should we go?"
///Satiah: He adores games, he's gentle, yet he has the physique and terror in his eye that would make anyone leave you alone. Not only that, I'm sure if you could marry him and attain his wealth, he seems like the adventurous type who would go to America and help you make your dreams come true.///
///Anzu: Satiah. Quiet./// Anzu took the dice and shook them well. ///Satiah: Stop calling him a hottie, he's Bakura. I thought you said spirits didn't get hormonal?///
///Satiah: You don't have to be hormonal to recognize he's attractive. Hottie is your term, you used it with your neighbor two doors down where you used to live. That man was standard compared to his dimensions. He works out, you can see his well defined muscle. Clearly a fighter. Now, he could take care of you if you don't consider Yuugi to be your husband. He could crush anyone coming after you with his bare hands.////
///Anzu: Knock it off.///
///Satiah: You could probably mother ten children from a man like him.///
"Stop it! I'm rolling?" Anzu lost track while she was listening to Satiah. She looked at Bakura who was looking right back at her. Closely. ///Anzu: There's no way he can hear all this she is saying, is there?///
"My," Bakura said and then looked toward Yuugi. "She is most definitely speaking to the spirit, her whole face is scrunched up and red."
"Yeah." Yuugi glanced at her a second and then back at the board with a small chuckle. "You already rolled, Anzu. It was a 10." Yuugi looked back at Bakura. "It's kind of neat seeing it all from another angle, isn't it?"
"Quite," Bakura agreed. "I wonder what the conversation is? Not that I'd pry."
///Anzu: Will these guys quit looking at me?/// "Whose roll is it?"
"It will be mine in a second," Bakura said.
///Satiah: Oh, Anzu, you forgot to check the other way. The person, over by the rock. It's clearly set up there for a reason. How did you miss that?///
///Anzu: I was distracted.///
///Satiah: By what?///
Anzu grumbled but tried to hide it.
-------------------------------
///Yuugi: Geez, she's just as cute now when she blushes as she was in our school days./// Yuugi calculated the score, wondering what the spirit was saying. It was irritating her, which made her look incredibly cuter. ///Yuugi: Score, Yuugi, you're the Game Master. Neither of them went by the person by the rock? Bakura probably couldn't see him from his view as well./// Yuugi heard his phone ring. In the middle of a game. "Sorry about that." He moved it back to vibrate. He'd talk to them later. After the game they were supposed to relax with some supper.
It was a nice way to end the week. Two good friends and a classic game.
-------------------------------
After the Game
///Yuugi: She still wasn't cheering. Maybe if Bakura had been Game Master and I played?/// Yuugi thanked Bakura for the food as he brought out some treats he brought too. That might have been harder for her to have a good time with, considering what happened the first time they ever played with him. ///Yuugi: If I could get Jounouchi to come over, that would be bound to help too. Slow progress. It has to be losing dancing that's hurting her. If I create a dance studio for her, would that bring some of her cheering spirit back? Maybe, but it couldn't be yet. The amount of payback she probably already felt for everything was too immense. It would be stepping over the line. Right now.///
Maybe not in the future though.
"This food is great, Bakura, thank you," Anzu said clearly to him. "I appreciate it very much."
"No problem, Anzu." Bakura smiled at her. "It's not every day we all get to hang out." He turned though when he heard someone knocking on his door. "Strange." He got up and headed over. "Who would be knocking at my door this late? I don't know anyone who wanted to come over." He looked through the peephole. "Oh. Yuugi. I think it's for you."
For him, at Bakura's? "Who is it?" Yuugi asked cautiously. "If you don't know them, then don't open the door." He stood up, his first instinct going back to Skeezy's gang. "Stay away from it."
"You do know them," Bakura said. "I'm fairly sure it's not for me."
Yuugi heard a louder knock. "Who would follow me all the way here?" Then, he heard a voice he hadn't heard in years. The last time was for testing his prototype game with him. A voice that usually wasn't involved in Kaiba Corp much anymore and a voice that shouldn't be at that door in the middle of eating a nice meal at a friend's house.
"Yuugi. If you won't answer your damn phone, then you are going to answer this door!"
Seto Kaiba.
Yuugi went to the door and opened it, peering out. Same kind of clothes and everything. "Seto Kaiba. What are you doing here?"
"Yuugi?" Seto Kaiba gave him a similar look. "Geez, you two are still like mirrors, except dark and light. Creepy." He gestured to pass the door. "I need to talk to you. Now."
///Yuugi: What do you think I am? Someone you can just command around? Especially at a friend's home./// "If you want to talk, you should come visit tomorrow at the Game Shop. It's open again."
"Do I look like I'm in the mood to just wait around for you to want to have a chit-chat?" Kaiba complained. "I didn't come down to Ryou Bakura's address just to be dismissed so easily."
This guy was still so off balanced and off balance was not what Yuugi needed right now. ///Yuugi: Anzu is getting used to Japan and this new life. I don't need him making things any harder./// "I am over at a friend's house, Kaiba. Whatever business you have with me, it can wait for tomorrow. I'm not working." Maybe Seto Kaiba was getting involved back in more with Mokuba. If so, fine, but he wasn't going to let him stalk him to Bakura's.
"It's okay, Yuugi." Bakura came over to the door. "I really don't want to irritate Kaiba, and if he came all this way, it's probably important."
"When am I not important," Kaiba answered.
He better have a decent reason for this. "If Bakura agrees."
"Finally." Seto moved in like he owned the place. Never changed. He looked toward Anzu in the room. "What the hell? I thought you moved to America?"
"Please, have a seat," Bakura offered. "Could I bring you anything?"
Kaiba sat down. "I'm here on business, Yuugi, but not the usual." He stared at Anzu oddly. "Do you have a spirit with you?"
Anzu's eyes widened some. "How did you know?"
"I didn't tell you and neither would the very few that knew." Yuugi's voice raised higher than usual. How did he know? Yuugi eyed him suspiciously. He couldn't be spying on her, he would have known she had been in Japan. Mokuba? No, even Mokuba didn't know.
Only him, Jounouchi, Mai, and Bakura knew. He hadn't even explained it to Honda yet, he had enough on his mind. Before Kaiba answered though, there was another knock at the door.
"Yo, Yuugi. Hey, open up."
Jounouchi. Yuugi instantly went to the door and opened it.
