One Track Mind
You sighed and blew a piece of hair away from your eyes, staring out the window of your classroom. Your teacher was rambling on and on about Electronegativity and how it related to apples and, surprisingly enough, that made no sense. It was so boring you felt as though you were going die. Deciding a much merciful fate would to be to put yourself out of misery, you prepare to slam your head onto your desk and go to bed. Just as you pull your head back, the blissful ringing of the bell tolls through the room. You quickly jump to your feet and meet your friends Yugi and Teá out in the hallway. They both wave to you and Teá walks directly to your left with Yugi on her other side. You talk about your day and how uneventful it was, until Yugi brings up the topic of Bakura.
"Bakura wasn't really acting like himself when I last saw him, he was kicked off campus last week.." He says, trailing off.
"Kicked off? What did he do? He was always so sweet and innocent." Teá looks at Yugi in a concerned fashon.
"Well, every night when he'd go on a date, the women wouldn't come back with him and when I saw him two weeks ago there was definetely something different about him."
Teá points her pointer finger up in the air, "He got a new hair style!" She says, seeming rather proud of herself.
Yugi takes a deep breath, "Well, not only that, but there seems to be a malicious look in his eyes. Not only a look of evil but of lust. But lusting of what?"
You take all this in, rolling all this new information around in your head. You and Bakura had never really been close, but had hung out on lots of occassions. It was true, he always seemed so cute and innocent. He was always concerned and wanted everyone to happy and have fun. You couldn't believe that it was actually Bakura that they were so poorly talking about and you voice this idea.
"I'm sure it's him, I'd see him walk away from school with a new girl almost every day. There was no confusing him with anyone else, I mean the guy has crazy hair!" Yugi shifted from foot to foot, "And not only that, but he'd turn around and smirk at me, almost saying 'She's in for a real surprise tonight!'"
Teá gasped and grabbed onto Yugi's arm and he winced slightly "Oh no! I hope he's okay!"
Yugi shook his head and waved goodbye to you, since you were all standing outside the school now, "I'll see you later ____, I'm gonna go ahead and walk Teá home, she seems pretty freaked out."
You nod and walk in the opposite direction. Bakura's gone evil? There was no way that that happened. He was so small and had such a kind little face. He was no womanizer. And where these women going, if they were all disappearing? Bakura couldn't be kidnapping women, could he? No way. There was definetely something going on that made much more sense, like alien abductions. You smile to yourself. Sometimes you crack yourself up. Just then, your phone buzzes. You flip it open and look at the display message, telling you that you have one new message. You open the message up and quickly glance over it. It was a small grocery list from your mum, so you change courses and walk to the store. You're about a ten minute walk from there and it's already starting to get dark so you quicken your pace. It was getting cold, and not only that, but you felt like you were being watched. You knew you really weren't, but still, the thought was lingering in your mind, 'What if I'm being followed...?'. Just to be safe you quickly whirl around and see a tall man standing behind you. He's got dark shaggy hair and a cruel look on his face.
"Where are you going so late at night, little miss?" He slurs. His breath smells like alchohol, theres not mistaking that.
"On my way home, now get away from me," You say, looking around, avoiding eye contact with the obviously intoxicated man.
"Oh, but I think..." He stops to burp and look you up and down, "I think you'd have more fun if you came home with me..."
You spit at his feet and he grabs you by your forearm, yanking you closer to him and causing you to drop your phone. You open your mouth to scream, but are quickly cut off by one of his massive hands covering your mouth, muffling your protests.
You close your eyes, hoping for this to be just some sick nightmare, and when you open them again, everything will be okay. You keep your eyes tightly closed and take your free arm and slam your elbow into his gut and hear him grunt in respnce. Shortly after, the roughness of his callased hands are gone, and the smell of beer no longer lingers in the air. You hear a hard crash and then a groan of pain, that is soon followed by silence. Feeling rather proud of yourself, you peek one eye open and turn your head slowly, looking behind you. The large man is now lying on the ground in a pool of his own blood, his neck bent at on odd way... A way that cleary indicates he won't be bothering you, or anyone else, ever again. Standing directly behind him is a man who stands nearly a head taller than you, with pale skin and white hair that appears to have wings in it. A half grin played across his face as he stares at you. His eyes were hard, lingering on your lips. You had found the missing Bakura.
