Chapter 9
Seras got to her feet and looked out in the direction Bakura was. She could see him, and he looked ready to hunt.
"Problem," Seras whispered.
"I already knew that," Bakura said as he got to his feet.
"What's wrong?" Tea asked. "Who's coming?"
Bakura looked at her, "Remember the man I told you about?" he asked in a whisper. She nodded, "He's coming."
Tea gulped.
"What's happening?" Joey asked as he and Tristan stood up.
Bakura could see him now, coming up the walkway. He knew that Anderson could see him too, just by the grin on his face.
Suddenly Anderson threw several knives at them. Bakura ducked out of the way just in time and the embedded themselves into the wall behind him. He jumped sideways, grabbing Tea out of harms way as more knives descended down upon them.
"This guy's psycho," Joey said as he Tristan and Yugi took cover under the table.
Bakura couldn't tell where Seras had gone, but Anderson was getting closer. He glanced very quickly around for an escape route. He found one just behind him.
"Tea," he whispered, "When I say so, I want you to make a run for it. I'll follow after you as soon as I get Anderson distracted."
"Are you sure?" Tea asked.
The vampire nodded, and Tea had to go with it. Bakura watched as Anderson got closer and closer, and just when Tea thought Bakura would never tell her when to run, he yelled, "Get out of here!"
Tea shot to her feet and out of sight. Bakura kicked their table, hard, at Anderson. Of course, that had been a hiding spot, and now Joey Tristan and Yugi were scrambling out of harms way and out of sight in another direction. The table landed where Bakura had wanted it to, and while Anderson was distracted, Bakura raced away.
He caught up with Tea not long after he had started running. He could see a place they could hide, and said, "Follow me." He took Tea's hand to make sure she would keep up with him, and headed toward the hiding spot.
***
Tea didn't know how much farther she could run. They had run behind the museum into an area with some trees.
"Bakura," she gasped, "How much farther?"
His answer was slowing down right in front of an old shack. "Right here," he answered. He didn't even sound out of breath. He pushed open the door and they went inside. He shut it immediately behind them, and barricaded it with some of the stuff in the shed.
Tea stood there and tried to catch her breath. "Now what?" she asked.
Bakura was looking around, and then spotted something. He went and opened a door in the shed; it was empty. "Get in here."
"Why?" Tea asked.
"What Anderson can't see right away he won't attack," Bakura answered. "You'll be safer in here." Tea went into the closet. "Don't open the door for anything. You must not leave this place for anything you hear or see. I'll come and get you when I feel it's safe." Tea nodded and he shut the door.
The shed was old, and the wood wasn't as thick as it had been. Tea could see through a gap in the door where the latch held the door closed. She sat down quietly, knowing that this was probably going to take a while. She heard the sound of clicking, sort of. She couldn't tell what it was. She peered through the gap at Bakura to see if he had been the source.
She was right. The sound had come from Bakura. He had been loading and charging a handgun that she could plainly see. Suddenly he opened the closet door. "Could you hold this?" he asked as he held his jacket in one hand. Tea nodded and he tossed it to her. "Remember what I said," he added as he closed the door.
(I wonder if Joey, Tristan, and Yugi are all right?) Tea thought. (I hope they are.)
She decided to ask Bakura, "Bakura."
"Hmm?"
"Do you think Joey, Tristan, and Bakura are all right?"
"If they're with Seras," Bakura answered, "They're probably fine. If they're not, I'm not sure what kind of condition they would be in."
Tea gulped, and was about to ask something else when something, or someone, banged against the door of the shed.
"Stay quiet," Bakura hissed, as he got ready to shoot.
Tea sat there and listened to the banging. (Guess Bakura's barricades are doing their jobs), she thought.
Her thoughts were immediately corrected when the door crashed open and Bakura began firing. She could hear a laughter coming form someone, most likely Anderson.
"You can't beat me you inhuman monster," Anderson spat.
"You haven't seemed to have beaten us yet either," Bakura retorted as he continued firing.
The firing stopped and Tea listened and peered through the crack in the door. The two appeared to be in a standoff.
Suddenly Anderson charged at Bakura and slashed at him. Bakura dodged out of the way and shot at him again, wondering how many bullets he had left.
-Tea! - He called to her; -I need you to get something out of my jacket. Inside one of the pockets is a cartridge. Get it and toss it under the door s - The rest of his sentence was cut off by a scream that sounded like part screech and part hiss.
Tea gasped and started rummaging through the pockets. The jacket had inside and outside pockets, so she had no clue where it would be. As she looked, the flashing of the shadows caused her to look up, just in time to hear a nasty slash and blood splash through the gap in the door and hit her in the face.
Pure shock kept her from screaming. She could feel the cartridge under fingers inside the jacket, but she was too stunned to move. Suddenly a sword came through the door. Tea ducked just before it hit her, and it got itself embedded in the wall. That knocked Tea out of her shock.
She threw the cartridge under the door and got up and yanked the sword out of the wall with all her strength. As she turned around she heard firing again, which meant Bakura had gotten a hold of the cartridge.
She stood there, holding the blade up in front of her as she listened to the fight outside. She could still hear Anderson shouting various things at Bakura, bout being undead, an inhuman monster, and how he was going to kill him.
(This guy's completely psychotic,) Tea thought. (I hope Bakura wins this fight. I don't even want to think about what might happen if he doesn't.) Suddenly all the noise stopped. (Is it over?) Tea wondered. Suddenly the door opened, but it wasn't Bakura who had opened it.
Anderson stood there, a glum look on his face. "So sorry child, but I'm afraid I can't leave any witnesses behind."
Tea stared at him in shock, but still held the blade up. "What did you do to him?" she asked, doing anything to stall him and see if any sort of help would come.
"He is of no more importance to you anymore," Anderson answered. He raised a sword, "So sorry that you have to die now."
Tea shut her eyes, hoping it would all go away if she didn't look. Suddenly a very loud gunshot filled her hearing. It was too loud that have been the gun Bakura had used, so who's had it been?
She opened her eyes a crack. Anderson was still standing in front of her, but he was looked behind her.
Tea then realized that someone was standing behind her. She turned to look, and a red coat filled her vision. "Alu-?"
The vampire laughed, "So," he said, "Finally you decided to make a nuisance of yourself. You're lucky I could make it."
Anderson growled at him, "I'll not be had by some undead servant of Hellsing!"
"Big words for a lap dog," Alucard said. "Now, let's have some fun." He fired his gun again, hitting Anderson in the forehead and knocking him out of the closet.
Alucard walked calmly out as Anderson got to his feet and scrambled to the side. "You won't beat me by hiding behind your human toys," Anderson droned.
"Funny," Alucard said, "I seem to do it every time." He pulled something out of pocket and tossed it behind him. "But, it just so happens that I'm out of bullets."
Anderson grinned, "I'll kill you today then."
"No," Alucard said, "But he's going to kill you, or at least attempt to."
"What?" Anderson asked.
Alucard moved aside to reveal Bakura sitting in the corner, his gun raised and ready to fire. "Go to hell you bastard," Bakura hissed and fired twice.
The bullets embedded themselves in Anderson's eyes. The priest stumbled backwards with a cry of pain. "I'll kill you next time you undead monster!" he yelled, and then disappeared in a wave of holy papers.
Alucard watched the papers float to the floor. "Hn, he'll never succeed." He turned to Bakura, "You're a better shot than the Police Girl, and this is the first time you've ever used a gun."
Bakura shrugged where he sat, but didn't get up.
"A unit from the Hellsing organization is on its way," Alucard said. "As soon as it arrives, I'm leaving." He turned to Tea, whom was still holding the blade. "Throw that away, it's not very becoming on you."
Tea looked at the blade, and then dropped it where she stood. Then she turned around and picked up Bakura's jacket, pulling it on over her shoulders for a slight bit of comfort. She poked her head out of the closet, "Are you okay?" she asked Bakura.
"I've been better," Bakura answered hoarsely. The shadows were covering his wounds from her, and he wanted to keep it that way for as long as possible.
Finally two transport vehicles from Hellsing arrived outside the shed. Alucard vanished as soon as the first soldier entered and nodded to him. Once he was gone, the soldier spoke into a radio as two more soldiers came in.
***
Seras had seen the transport vehicles drive past her as she and the rest of Bakura's friends had been searching for them.
"Come on," Seras said, "Lets follow them."
They ran after the vehicles, behind the museum, and back way behind it. They found where they vehicles had stopped, right outside a shed.
"Excuse me," Seras said as she went past the soldiers. She and the others arrived in front of the shed just as a soldier was leading Tea out. "Tea, are you all right?"
Tea looked up, relieved to see them, and nodded.
"But-" Joey said as he pointed to the blood on her face.
"It's not mine," Tea answered as she came over to them.
"Whose is it then?" Tristan asked as he handed her his handkerchief to wipe the blood away.
"I'm not exactly sure," she answered as she wiped the blood off. "I have a feeling it's Bakura's."
"Is he all right?" Seras asked.
"I don't know," Tea answered. "He was in the shadows and wouldn't let me near him, so I don't know what kind of injuries he has."
They watched as a soldier came out of the shed, carrying a handful of bloody swords and knives.
"Those don't look good," Joey said, gulping to keep his stomach.
What they saw next wasn't very pleasing to the eye either. A soldier came out, talking to someone behind him, and then Bakura emerged.
They knew immediately where all the bloody blades had come from just by looking at him. Knife wounds were visible through the holes in his clothing, almost all of which were stained by blood. A soldier standing guard by the door made a face and took a step back when he saw Bakura, seeing something that was hidden from the others.
"Bakura?" Tea asked.
Bakura looked at them, and they all gasped. A slash from his forehead almost to his chin was bleeding on the left side of his face, but that wasn't the worst part of it. The slash had cut his eye, which was now looked rather gruesome. You couldn't even distinguish the iris from the rest of the eye, and the pupil was fogged away by blood.
"That's not pretty," Joey muttered, about ready to lose his stomach.
"Can you see out of that eye?" Seras asked.
"What kind of a question is that?" Tristan asked, "Of course he can't."
"I can see," Bakura interrupted. He could see out of it, but it was all red and blurry. Seeing out of both eyes was an odd thing, some of it in color and completely focused, and the rest all red and blurry.
Tristan gulped, a worried look on his face. "I stand corrected," he said quickly.
He looked quite dangerous, covered in blood and one ruined eye. It was like something out of a horror movie, only this was real.
Bakura didn't really like it that his friends were staring at him like he was a monster, even though deep down he knew he was. He wanted to talk to them, but something made him not to, and he didn't know what it was.
"Seras," one of the soldiers said, "We have room in the last vehicle to take you and your friends back to HQ, you want to get on?"
Seras nodded, "Thanks." She looked at Bakura, "He's coming with us."
"Whatever you say," the soldier said, "I don't care, I'm in the other one."
"What's that's supposed to mean?" Seras asked.
The officer smirked and shook his head. "Nothing, see you back at HQ."
