Chapter 6


Bakura was pacing nervously when four o'clock came and Walter and Seras came to get him so they could go to the airport.


"Ready?" Seras asked.


"No," Bakura answered. "But I have to go anyway." Seras nodded, and the three of them left the mansion.


Took them twenty minutes to get to the airport, which left them with forty minutes to loiter around. Seras tried to lighten Bakura's mood, but whatever she tried he just shrugged and stared off into space.


Walter merely stood there and watched as each attempt Seras gave was shot down. He smirked though when Bakura made a face at one of Seras comments about when she and Walter were annihilating ghouls in the mansion, and how much she had first hated her Halcannon.


"You don't seem to be having any luck in boosting his spirits," Walter said finally to Seras.


"I don't see you trying," Seras mumbled.


"Don't waste your time trying to lighten my mood," Bakura muttered. "I'm just nervous about everyone coming here, and how they'll react to me."


"You can't control how they'll react," Seras said. "And you really don't have a choice either, so whatever happens will happen, and they'll just have to face it."


Bakura sighed and checked his watch, the flight would arrive in ten minutes, or so he thought.


The P.A. speakers cracked and a male voice came on, "All incoming five o'clock flights will be between an hour and two hours late due to weather problems and mechanical defaults."


"Mechanical defaults?" Bakura asked a loud.


"Probably technical difficulties before they took off," Walter said. "I did read that there was a small storm coming off the coast in the direction they're coming from, but even a small storm could mean delay for a flight."


"Wonderful," Bakura groaned. "We can't leave because we don't know when their flight's going to arrive, and if we do leave and they arrive while we're gone, they'll have no idea what to do."


"Looks like we have to wait then," Seras said.


Walter sighed and went to find a phone so he could call Integra and tell her about the complications. When he came back he said, "Sir Integra is not pleased. If your friends' flight doesn't come in after half an hour, she's coming down and will personally give them a piece of her mind when they arrive."


"Uh-oh," Seras said.


"Oh please come in soon," Bakura whined as he looked out the window.


***


They didn't come soon. After an hour, longer than Integra said she was going to wait, the woman arrived at the airport, not happy.


"This is taking too long," she said. "If these friends of yours don't show up soon, Walter and Seras are coming back to the manor with me. You'll have to get back with your friends on you own."


Bakura didn't like the sound of that, but nodded anyway.


After another half an hour, Integra said, "That's enough, Walter, Seras, lets go."


Seras sighed, reluctant to go, but she had no choice. Before she left, she turned to Bakura. "Here," she held out a small handgun to him. "Hide this, I don't like leaving you alone without any sort of protection on you."


Bakura nodded and hid it in his belt, covering it with his jacket.


"Use it only if you have no other way out," Seras said, and followed Integra and Walter out of the airport.


Bakura sighed and looked out the window, praying that the plane would come in soon.


***


It was not there soon. Bakura sat there for another hour and still the plan didn't show up. He had been waiting there for three hours, and still, after all that time the plan hadn't shown up.


(Are they even going to get here tonight?) Bakura wondered as he checked his watch. It was after seven, and it getting dark outside very fast. (Come on; get here please.)


He was tired, he wanted to just go back to the manor and sleep, but he couldn't leave, not until his friends got there. He groaned and re-settled himself in the chair he sat in. Rubbed his eyes with one hand, and left it there. He closed his eyes, thinking he would only keep them closed for a few minutes, but he was wrong.


***


The plane finally showed up after eight o'clock. All the passengers were eager to get off, but there were all exhausted too.


"That's the last time I'm using that airline service," Joey groaned as they entered the airport through the tunnel. "Now we just have to find Bakura."


"That's easy," Tristan said, "Look for someone with long white hair."


"He's over there," Yugi said as he pointed to his right, covering a yawn with his other hand.


"Is he sleeping?" Tea asked, using her will power from rushing over to him.


"Lets see," Joey said. He pulled a package of peanuts out of his pocket from the flight and threw it at Bakura.


***


Bakura was really asleep, but his new vampire alertness was always working. He sensed the object flying at him, and raised his hand and caught it, waking up as he caught it.


"Nice try Joey," he grumbled as he checked his watch. "Guess I did fall asleep," he said when he saw the time.


"Then how did you catch that?" Joey asked as they approached.


"Don't ask," Bakura answered as he tossed the package back to him and got to his feet. "Come on," he groaned, "Lets go get your bags."


They made there way to baggage pickup, and while they waited, Bakura called Seras to tell her that everyone was there.


"How many people are with you?" she asked, "Including yourself?"


"Five," Bakura answered.


"I'll see if I can get a transport to you that can fit all of that," Seras said.


"Preferably a van," Bakura said, and whispered, "Not a military transporter."


Seras laughed, "Yes I know. Walter will be there in half an hour at most."


"Great," Bakura grumbled, "More waiting." He hung up the pay phone and went back to the others. Joey and Tristan's bags still hadn't shown up yet.


"They better not have lost them," Joey mumbled.


"Just keep your mouth quiet about it and they'll get here," Bakura said as he walked up. "Our ride won't be here for another half an hour anyway, so there's no rush."


"Great," Yugi groaned, "More waiting."


"That's what I said," Bakura said. He was glad a lot of the lights were not on around them, it kept his eye color seemingly brown, and so it hid the new red.


They stood there for a few minutes, and then Bakura felt someone approaching, someone dangerous, to him at least. He didn't feel he would be a danger to his friends, and slunk out of sight without them realizing it.


A minute after a had hidden himself in a dark corner where he could watch, an immensely tall man, taller than Alucard, walked up to the baggage conveyer. What made him stand out besides his height was a large cross that hung around his neck.


"Good evening children," the priest said.


Bakura watched as his friends bowed to the priest respectfully.


"Good evening father," Tea said respectfully.


"Slow baggage recovery?" the priest asked as he picked up his bag.


"Yeah," Joey grumbled. "And our flight was in really late."


"How unfortunate," the priest said as two suitcases fell from the chute.


"There they are," Joey said as he and Tristan picked them off the conveyer belt.


"Now where did Bakura go?" Tea asked. "Not a good time for him to wander off."


"Maybe he had to go to the bathroom," Joey suggested, "He did sit there for three hours."


"Still," Tea said, "Bad time for him to wander off, and he could have at least told us."


"Would you like me to wait here with you until he returns?" the priest asked Tea.


"Oh no," Tea answered, "I have three body guard already," she teased.


The priest chuckled, "Very true." He nodded to them, "Good night then, God Bless you all."


"Good night," Tea said and waved him off. "He was nice."


"A little to godly for me though," Joey said.


"He's better mannered than you are," Tristan said to Joey.


"How did I deserve that?" Joey spat.


"Don't fight," Yugi said firmly.


Bakura felt it was safe enough for him to come out, and asked, "What's going on?"


"The usual argument," Tea answered. "Where'd you go?"


"Doesn't matter," Bakura answered, "I didn't want that priest to see me."


"You know him?" Joey asked.


Bakura shook his head, "No, but I have a feeling that he's not as safe as he seems to be."


"Oh and you left us to deal with him?" Tea asked, outraged.


"No," Bakura answered, "He's no threat to you."


"Then how is he a threat to you?" Yugi asked.


"I'll tell you later," Bakura answered. "I'll be right back, I need to make another phone call."


He went and called Seras and described the priest to her. He wasn't surprised when she sounded shocked.


"That-that was Anderson!" She exclaimed.


"I figured he wasn't normal," Bakura said, "But I knew he wouldn't be a threat to normal humans, so I concealed myself and watched. He merely talked to them as he picked up his baggage, he left about five minutes ago."


"Don't leave the building until Walter gets there," Seras said. "I know you'll know when he gets there, and I'll contact him and have him come inside when he gets there, so you don't have to look outside and risk Anderson being there."


Bakura agreed and hung up the phone.


"Now what?" Tristan asked.


"We stay inside until our ride gets here," Bakura answered.


"How will we know when they arrive if we're inside?" Tea asked.


"He'll come in and find us," Bakura answered.


"So what should we do until then?" Tristan asked.


"We sit here," Bakura answered simply. He was getting tired of questions that seemed to be asking the same thing, or ones that required an extremely logical answer for. He sighed, "Look, I know you guys are tired, I am too, but we just have to wait a little longer. And I think you'll be happy for what you're waiting for." (I hope.)


"So where are we staying?" Tea asked, "Hotel?"


Bakura shook his head, "You'll see."


"Are you going to tell us anything?" Tea asked.


Bakura shrugged, "Depends on the question. Some things I don't want to answer in public."


"He has a point," Yugi said. "Though it would be nice to know at least how you got here, if that's something that doesn't require privacy to answer."


Bakura shook his head, "It doesn't require that, especially since I'm still trying to find the answer to that question myself."


"You still don't know?" Tea asked.


Bakura shook his head, "No idea."


"We've been through some funky stuff," Tristan said, "But every time we've known why it's happened. So this is something completely different."


"You have no idea," Bakura whispered.


***


Finally Walter arrived, and he walked in as Seras had asked him to.


"It's been quite a long day hasn't it?" Walter asked as he came in.


"You have no idea," Joey groaned.


Bakura introduced them all, and Walter nodded to each of them.


"I hope you enjoy England," he said. "Since this is your first time here, it looks like Bakura's going to be acting as a tour guide."


Bakura rolled his eyes.


Walter chuckled, "Well then, lets go, I'm sure you all just feel like falling into bed and never getting up again."


"You read my mind," Tea said as they exited the airport.
