Chapter 22


The airport was crowded.


"They had to choice a Sunday," Joey grumbled.


"Shut up," Tea said. "At least they're finally coming home."


"Their flight is do in any time now," Tristan pointed out. "Are you two going to start an argument now?"


"No," Tea and Joey answered.


"It's a shame that Bakura's family couldn't make it," Tea said.


"Bakura's father's gotta work," Tristan said. "And Kiyo needed to go on that trip because it was a grade in her class. Bakura's mom went with her as a chaperon."


"I'm sure Bakura knows this already," Tea pointed out. "We were clogging Walter's email account with all of our emails."


"Here's the plane," Tristan said. They watched as a large 747 pulled up to the terminal. After what seemed like forever, passengers began to disembark.


"Took them long enough," Joey said as the first of the passengers appeared through the gate.


"Don't forget we still have to get their bags too," Tristan said. "That could take a while."


"Don't remind us," Joey said.


"There they are," Tea said. They looked to see Yugi coming through the gate, Bakura following right behind him.


"Long time no see," Joey said as the two approached.


"I didn't think we'd ever get back here," Yugi said. "Some pretty crazy stuff happened after you three left."


"Do we want to know?" Tea asked.


"No," Bakura answered for her, "You don't." He smiled, though his sunglasses hid any emotions his eyes held.


"So," Joey said as they headed toward baggage pickup, "Now that we're all back home, do you think we can let our lives get back to normal?"


"Normal?" Bakura asked, "What's that?"


"Guess that's a no," Joey muttered.


"Oh right," Tristan said, suddenly remembering something. "Your dad said to call your work as soon as you can. He just told me to pass that on."


Bakura sighed, "Yeah, one of the many things I have to deal with."


"At least you don't have to deal with Kaiba," Yugi grumbled. "I know he got my messages, but that still doesn't mean he'll be pleasant to me when I go back to work tomorrow."


"Why did you take that job anyway?" Joey asked. "I wouldn't work for Kaiba no matter how much I got paid."


"But that's exactly why I took the job," Yugi answered. "Its very good money. Yes, I am the equivalent of a receptionist, but I get paid more than a receptionist, a lot more."


"Basically you sit around and answer phone calls all day and get paid two grand?" Joey asked. "And I thought he was using you as his lab rat for all of his new stuff."


"Nope," Yugi replied. "And I'm glad I'm not his lab rat. I'd probably look worse than Bakura after a round about with you know who."


"Shut up," Bakura grumbled. "I'd rather my training sessions not be discussed while we're in public." They reached the baggage claim and stood by the conveyer belt and watched as the luggage came by. When the two finally found their bags, they left the airport.


ooo


Bakura slunk down the hall of the hospital. It was four o'clock in the morning, fifteen minutes before he was due for his shift in the pediatrics department. He wasn't sneaking in, he was expected at work that day, but just felt weird about being back to work, the way he was.


He reached the pediatrics department, entered the code into the lock, and went in. As soon as he entered the hall he knew there were people close by. He knew he would encounter them very soon, and got ready for the questions he knew they would ask him.


He emerged into the main pediatrics office, and as he had expected, he was bombarded with questions. He answered as many of them as he could, leaving out all of the things that had happed to him. He thought he was in the clear, when suddenly he was asked a question that made his freeze.


Out of all of the doctors, Dr. Kay, the same woman that had treated Yugi throughout his traumatic senior year of high school, it was she whom asked the question. "What happened to your eyes Bakura? Weren't they brown?"


Bakura gulped, "Well, it's funny you should ask that question. I..." He thought fast, "I don't really know the answer to that myself."


"So it's safe to say that they aren't contacts?" a nurse asked.


(Damn,) Bakura thought. (That could have worked too.) "Heh, no, sadly they're not."


"How can you not know?" Dr. Kay asked.


"Uh, well..." Bakura stammered. He looked around, and noticed the work board of what time which doctors had patients. "Oh look, I have a patient coming in soon, I really should get ready for that." He inch toward his office, "Let's talk later." He rushed his inside his tiny office and shut the door, locking it behind him. "This is not going to be a good day," he groaned.


ooo


When Bakura's break finally rolled around, which was at one o'clock in the after noon, and sneaked out of the pediatrics center and climbed the stairs to the roof.


"Peace at last," He groaned as he shut the door behind him. He put his sunglasses on and slumped down against the wall. "How the hell am I supposed to keep this from them?"


"Keep what from us?"


Bakura shot to his feet and looked around. Dr. Kay stood a few yards away from him. "You have break right now?"


"Things changed while you were gone Bakura," Dr. Kay said as she approached him. "And I'm guessing you did some changing too."


"Just because something did happen doesn't mean I'll willing talk about it," Bakura said.


"I see," the older doctor said. "Will you at least tell me how London was?"


"It's changed," Bakura answered, "Since I was last there." He wanted to tell her what had happened; he knew he would have to sooner or later. He sighed, "Fine, do really want to know what happened? I'll warn you now, what I'm going to tell will sound like the biggest lie in existence. It'll sound like a horror movie to put it simply."


"Was it that bad?" Dr. Kay asked.


"Every word I am about to tell you is true," Bakura answered. "If you think I'm insane when I'm through, go a head and think that, but it won't change anything."


"All right," Dr. Kay said, "Tell me."


He told her, in all detail he could. He left out a few gory details, but that was all he left out. When he finished, he watched her.


Dr. Kay stared at him for a moment, and then started laughing.


"I knew it," Bakura said as he threw his hands up, "I knew you would laugh, I knew you wouldn't believe me."


"Seriously?" Dr. Kay asked. "Vampire? That's impossible, they don't exist."


"If they don't exist then try finding my pulse," Bakura challenged, holding out his wrist to her.


Dr. Kay felt his wrist, readjusting her grip several times as she tried to find his pulse. When she didn't find it by touch she pulled out her stethoscope. After failing to find his pulse that way she backed away a step. "How are you doing that?"


"Doing what?" Bakura asked. "It's not there. What more proof do you need?"


Dr. Kay thought for a moment, "Fangs?"


Bakura bared his fangs, feeling satisfaction when he saw her jump. "Believe me?"


"But," Dr. Kay started, "From all the stories and movies I've seen, vampires can only come out at night."


"A vampire that has not killed to feed can still go out in daylight," Bakura explained. "Obviously I have not, so I can still go out in daylight. I also plan to keep it that way."


"Then how do you..." Dr. Kay didn't finish the question.


"Where I was staying, they gave me transfusion blood, the ones that could no longer be used because they had passed their expiration date."


"Oh," Dr. Kay said, rather dumbfounded.


"Well?" Bakura asked.


"Well what?" Dr. Kay asked.


Bakura smacked himself in the forehead, "Well are afraid of me, think I'm insane, what?"


Dr. Kay stared at him, and then to his annoyance, started laughing again. "Sorry," she said as she got herself under control. "Well as to my opinion of you now, it really hasn't changed. There isn't anything I can do to change what you are. And unless you become some sort of a threat, there isn't any reason to fear you."


Bakura sighed with relief, "You have no idea how relieved I am."


Dr. Kay punched him in the arm affectionately. "Don't get to relieved, don't you need to tell the rest of your colleagues?"


Bakura glared at her, "Did you really have to ruin my happy moment?"


Dr. Kay laughed, "Sorry."


"Yeah sure you are," Bakura grumbled as he stuffed his hands into his coat pockets and headed for the door.


"Where are you going now?" Dr. Kay asked.


"I'm going to my office," Bakura answered. "I'm going to try and figure out how to tell everyone else without get the same reaction out of them that I got out of you."


Dr. Kay laughed again, and followed him.
