Chapter 7
When they finally made it back to the manor, the four newcomers stared at it in awe.
"This has where you've been for the last couple of days?" Tea asked Bakura.
"Pretty much," Bakura answered as he carried her bag.
They went inside, where Integra was standing at the top of the staircase waiting for them. "It's about time," she said. "Walter, bring Bakura to my office when you through settling our guest in." She turned around and walked down the dark hallway and out of sight.
"Are you in trouble?" Tea asked Bakura.
"I hope not," Bakura whispered.
Walter led them up the staircase and down the hall. After several minutes, he stopped outside a room and pulled out a key. "This room is for you, Miss."
Tea blushed lightly and smiled at him. "Thanks."
"I advise you not to lose this," he said as he handed her the key. "I don't have a spare, and the only way to open it without a key is to use a force that I do not wish to use."
"What force is that?"
"Bakura has an example of it stashed in his belt," Walter answered.
"Hey!" Bakura exclaimed. He grumbled and reached for the hidden weapon, "Before I pull it out I'm going to ensure all of you that this is not mine and I'm going to be returning it to its owner when I'm finished seeing all of you to your rooms." He pulled out the gun from his belt and listened to the expected gasp.
"That's not the force I was expecting!" Joey said as he hid behind Tristan.
"What were you expecting?" Bakura asked as he put the gun away, "A hammer?"
"No," Tea answered, "Something that wouldn't fatally hurt someone in one blow."
"A hammer can do that," Walter pointed out.
"You know what I mean," Tea said.
"Like I said," Bakura muttered, "It's going to be returned as soon as I'm done here with you guys." He turned to Walter, "When we're through, could you take them somewhere where I can find you easily when I'm finished talking to Integra, or do we want to save this conversation until tomorrow morning?"
"I think maybe we can wait one more day," Yugi answered, leveling his eyes sternly one Tea, whom had opened her mouth to object. "One, and only one."
"You won't even have to wait that long," Walter said. "Just tonight, which is only a few more hours."
They nodded, and Walter finished showing them to their rooms. When he was finally finished, Bakura groaned and said, "Well, time to go and here it from Integra, right?"
Walter shrugged, "Who knows what Sir Integra has to say to you." He led them down another hall to a door that was slightly different from the others. "Here we are," Walter, said as he opened the door and they entered Integra's office.
Integra looked up from her papers. "It's about time," she said as she put them down.
"I'm sorry that took so long," Bakura apologized.
"I didn't ask you to come here about that," Integra said, "I called you in here about Anderson."
"Who is he exactly?" Bakura asked, "Seras wasn't very informative on the phone."
"Alexander Anderson is a vampire hunter from the Iscariot Organization," Integra answered. "He is expressly forbidden in this country unless he has an assignment that I have approved of, which I normally have not. It seems like he's snuck into this country again, and I have a feeling that I know who his next target is."
Bakura was about to ask whom, and then gulped, realizing that the target was really he and no one else. "Lucky me."
"This makes our situation more difficult," Integra said, "Since he's after you, your friends are in danger. They may have been safe in their first encounter with him, but I don't guarantee that the next one will be."
Bakura gulped and nodded. "Sorry."
"I should have been expecting it anyway," Integra, said, "Alucard's going to be having some fun pretty soon."
"Huh?" Bakura asked.
"Alucard and Anderson have a rivalry," Integra answered. "Anderson is always trying to kill him, and Alucard is always trying to do the same thing to him. Normally a vampire hunter is no problem, but Anderson isn't human."
"Then what is he?" Bakura asked.
"A regenerator," Walter answered for him. "He's able to heal himself almost automatically from any injury he gets, making him extremely dangerous."
"And I thought I had enough to worry about," Bakura groaned, "Guess I was wrong."
"He'll be your only problem," Integra answered. "He's going to be the only one trying to kill you. Alucard may seem like he's trying to do the same thing to you, but he won't be. You'll leave England alive, sort of."
"I'll tell you," Bakura groaned, "I don't feel at all lucky."
"You shouldn't," Integra said. "That's all, you may leave."
Walter led him out of the office and down the hall heading toward the staircase. "So much for this being at all easy," the butler said.
"Easy?" Bakura asked, "You're saying this was going to be easy?"
Walter shook his head, "No, but now it's just getting more and more complicated."
Bakura sighed and nodded and they headed down the staircase.
Seras was coming up the stairs of the basement when they arrived, "So you're all here?"
Bakura nodded, "Safe, for now."
"Looks like don't get to meet them until tomorrow huh?" Seras asked.
Bakura nodded, and then took the gun out of his belt, "Here, this is yours."
Seras shook her head, "No, you keep it."
"Huh?" Bakura asked. "But I can't use one of these things."
"I want you to keep it because you need the extra protection," Seras said. "I know you can probably defend yourself all right on your own, but now that your friends are here I think it's best for you to carry that with you from now on."
Bakura looked at the gun, "If you say so." He didn't like this idea at all, but he really couldn't argue about it, he knew he would lose it.
"Get some sleep," Walter said, "Tomorrow's going to be another long day."
***
The next morning, Seras and Bakura stood in the entry hall as the others has breakfast.
"So," Seras said, "How are you going to tell them?"
"I was hoping you could help," Bakura answered.
"Me?" Seras answered. "If anything I'd just get you into more trouble, especially with Tea." She giggled as Bakura made a face.
"Oh well," he said, "I still want you there."
"All right."
Walter finally came and got them, "They're in the large study," he said. "Ready?"
Bakura nodded, "I have to be."
Walter led them up the stairs to the study and knocked before entering. Inside, the four of Bakura's friends sat or stood near the center of the study.
"Where've you been?" Joey asked. "You missed breakfast."
"No I didn't," Bakura answered.
"Then where were you?" Tristan asked.
"In the entry way," Seras answered, "He was talking to me."
"Who are you exactly?" Yugi asked, but there was no hint of rudeness in his voice.
"My name is Seras Victoria," Seras answered. "I've known Bakura since we were young, and we just happened to meet up in the right place at the right time."
"Oh really?" Tea asked, not too sure she trusted this woman.
Seras knew what Tea was thinking. She smiled at her, "Don't worry Tea, I'm not interested in him that way, he's all yours."
Tea looked a little taken aback, and blushed lightly.
"To business," Walter said, changing the subject to the matter at hand. He had everyone's attention, just as he wanted, but he wouldn't be explaining the whole thing. "Your friend Bakura is in a situation none of you can imagine."
"That's hard to believe," Joey said, "We've been in a few interesting situation ourselves."
"This is quite different," Walter said. "To put it simply, the Bakura you used to know is no longer that Bakura."
"What are you talking about?" Tea asked. "He looks the same to me."
"Then you haven't taken a very good look at him," Walter said. "There are several differences to him, both internal and external."
"Forgive me for being rash," Yugi said, "but could you please cut to the chase?"
Walter gave Yugi a small smile, "Nothing veers you attention does it?"
Yugi shook his head.
Walter nodded, "Well then, to make things short and sweet, Bakura's dead."
Bakura felt like laughing like his friends did, the way Walter had said made it sound like a joke even to him. "That wasn't the best way to put it," he whispered to the man.
"Sure," Joey said, "If he's dead, he wouldn't be standing in front of us."
"Unless he were undead?" Walter asked.
"Huh?" they all asked.
"Are the undead known as vampires?" Yugi asked.
Walter nodded, "Exactly. That is what Bakura has become. He is a vampire."
