Chapter 5


Bakura felt the tap on his shoulder. He wanted to ignore it, but something told him to open his eyes, so he did. He looked to his left, where the tap had come from, and two familiar people were standing there.


It didn't hit him right away who they were, but when it did, he nearly flung himself backwards out of his chair.


"What are you two doing here?" he asked as tried to keep himself from falling.


"I saw what happened," the woman said. "I knew it would be best for you to see some familiar faces as soon as possible."


"Thanks for the thought," Bakura replied. He couldn't believe he was standing in this dungeon like room in England with Ishizu and Marik Ishtar standing in front of him.


"The only reason I'm here is because Ishizu fooled me," Marik grumbled. "She said we were coming here on vacation."


"Oh it's so horrible," Bakura smirked sarcastically. "Much worse than my situation," he added.


"You're in a wonderful mood," Marik said.


"Shut up," Bakura muttered. Marik glared at him, but said nothing.


"Before you two go at each other's throats," Ishizu said, and then glanced at Bakura. "No pun intended; I would like to know what Bakura plans to do about this."


Bakura shook his head, "I have no idea what I'm going to do," he said.


"You'll figure something out," Ishizu said. "I know it."


Bakura sighed, "Of course you do, you have the power to do so."


Ishizu smiled, "Good, I'm glad you remember that."


"You gave quite a demonstration," Bakura said, "How could anyone forget that?"


Ishizu smiled. "So, your friends will be here soon?"


"Not until five," Bakura answered. He swallowed, trying to get the coppery taste out of his mouth. He suddenly hit himself in the head for being rude, and offered his chair to Ishizu.


"Why thank you," Ishizu said as shook took the offered seat.


"What about me?" Marik asked.


"You're standing on it," Bakura answered as he sat down on his bed. Marik glared at him, and then smugly sat down on the floor. "So am I the only reason you're here?" Bakura asked after a few minutes.


Ishizu shook her head. "No. Well, you were in the first place, but once we got here, I figured we could use an actual vacation for once." She glanced at her brother, whom grunted in annoyance.


Bakura smirked, "Maybe once everyone else gets here I'll tour you. Seras should come with; she knows the place better than I do, since I haven't been here in eight years."


"That's quite some time," Ishizu said.


"You two certainly look like foreigners." Alucard had appeared silently, leaning causally against the wall.


Marik got to his feet quickly, but Bakura spoke first. "They're friends of mine Alucard, leave them alone."


"How did you come to know two Egyptians?" Alucard asked.


"I'm the reincarnation of a five thousand year old thief," Bakura answered. "The thief was from ancient Egypt." He got an idea, "Why don't I introduce you?"


Alucard looked interested, even with the glasses on.


"How?" Marik asked, but Ishizu silenced him by a raise of her hand.


Bakura took his ring out from under his clothes, and then tossed it to the floor. "Show yourself."


The points on the ring pointed upward, and the image that looked a lot like him, appeared life size above the ring. "What do you want?" The spirit asked.


"Turn around," Bakura answered.


To his surprise, the spirit turned around to see Alucard. "Who's he?"


"A vampire," Bakura answered.


"Like he has to worry about that," Marik grumbled.


The spirit glanced at Marik, and then recognized him. "Perhaps I should figure out a way to control my host again," he said. "Then I'll be able to get my revenge on you for tricking me."


"I don't think that will be happening anytime soon," Bakura interrupted him. "You've tried controlling me, I know you have. That coldness and the red and black that clouded my vision that one time, that was you trying to control me again, wasn't it?"


The spirit grumbled, not looking at him, nor did he answer.


"I'm right then," Bakura said. "Well at least that answers one of my questions."


"Bakura," Ishizu said, "I believe you still haven't told exactly who this uh, man, is. What did you call him, Alucard?"


"I wouldn't mind knowing myself," the spirit grumbled. "You didn't answer me when I asked before anyway."


Bakura sighed, "I think Alucard can introduce himself."


Alucard smirked, "Quite true." He turned his gaze to the three he didn't know, even though they couldn't tell he had because of the glasses. "I am Alucard, I'm one of the original undead, one of the first vampires ever to be created."


"I think that's enough," Marik mumbled, not liking the sound of this being at all.


Alucard laughed, "What's the matter human? Scared?"


Marik glared at Alucard, but didn't reply.


Bakura smirked, but then felt something odd, but he didn't know what it was.


Alucard sensed the same thing when Bakura did, and he knew what it was. He yelled at Ishizu and Marik, "Get out!"


Ishizu got to her feet just as Bakura clutched his head. She reached for him, but Marik yanked her back. "What's happening?" She asked.


Alucard watched as Bakura's body jerked and he continued to hold his head. He wanted to get the humans out, but somehow the scene in front of them held them transfixed.


Finally Bakura stopped, but when he looked up, Alucard snapped back into reality. The young man's gentle looking exterior had vanished, and to put it simply, he looked plainly demonic. Alucard grabbed Marik and Ishizu and threw them and the door and shut it, just as Bakura attacked.

Ishizu's whole body shook, "What just happened?"


"I don't know," her brother answered.


They could hear crashes in the room, and the sound of bodies colliding with the walls or furniture. They heard several growls too, from whom they couldn't identify.


Seras came out of her room when the crashes began, "What's going on?" she demanded.


"We're not sure," Ishizu answered. "Suddenly Bakura looked demonic, and Alucard threw us out of the room."


Seras gritted her teeth, thinking about what to do.

Back inside the bedroom, Alucard and Bakura were finally at a stand off. -I don't what to kill the kid, - Alucard thought, -but id I don't figure out some way to snap him back to his normal self, I'm going to have to. -


"Hey!"


Alucard chanced a look and stared at the spirit of the ring.


"Try and get the ring around his neck," the spirit said, "Then that way I can get into his mind and maybe get the real guy back in control."


Alucard glanced back at Bakura, but the new vampire didn't look like it was ready to attack again, yet. Alucard backed up until he was in the corner where the ring was. He picked it up, keeping his eyes on Bakura the whole time.


He suddenly charged at Bakura. He hopped to catch the kid off guard, so he could catch him easily.


Not so. Bakura caught onto the simple strategy and dodged him. But Alucard was faster. He got Bakura in a headlock, slipped the ring on, and let him go.


The effect was immediate. The spirit was keeping his word by getting the real Bakura back into the driver's seat. After a few agonizingly slow minutes, the process was over.


Bakura was breathing hard, not sure about what had just happened. "What happened," he asked, wanting to get his suspicions confirmed.


"Something," Alucard replied, "took over you."


Bakura leaned against the wall. "Great, what if it happens again?"


Alucard smirked, "Looks like I've got some work to do."

The room was a mess. The table was upturned, every thing that had been on it scattered all over the floor. The chair was in tacked, even though it was upside down on top of the canopy of the four-poster bed.


Bakura sat down against the wall as Alucard allowed the others back inside.


"What exactly happened?" Seras asked.


Alucard explained as Ishizu went over to Bakura. "I wasn't expecting something like this to happen," she said.


"You think I was?" Bakura asked.


***


Alucard left, leaving the four of them to clean up the room. They had just finished when Walter and Integra came in.


"Alucard just finished telling us what happened," Integra said. "If it happens again, I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to make you into a pile of vampire dust."


Bakura gulped, but nodded anyway. (If I don't take the ring off,) he thought, (it shouldn't happen again, I hope.)


Walter looked at his watch, which read almost noon. "We still have a while until you friends get here," he said to Bakura. "Try and stay sane until then."


Bakura glared at the butler, but said nothing. The two left and Bakura sat down on his bed with a sigh. "Man, neither of those two seems to like me."


"Don't worry about it," Seras said. "Sir Integra didn't like me for the longest time."


"But did you go nuts?" Bakura asked.


Seras thought for a moment, "Not like what you did."


Bakura groan, "That makes me feel better," he muttered sarcastically.


Ishizu sighed, "Well, I hate to say it, but I think it's time for us to leave." Bakura looked at her, "There's nothing my brother and I can do right now."


Bakura nodded, "Guess not."


Seras got to her feet. "I'll walk you out."

Author's Note: Well, Bakura went nuts. It has to do with what happens later. Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Review me and tell me what you think.
