Day Care of Domino 2: - Tomonari
Bakura wasn't sure when and why he'd developed a friendship with the young Pokemon Trainer who lived with the Pharaoh. He knew he'd started giving her Pokemon in an attempt to reel her in, but wasn't sure when it had gone from 'get her on my side' to an actual friendship.
It wasn't even something he was maintaining for his host, and he hadn't realised it he was friends with the girl until the attack, when he'd nearly put himself in mortal peril against his own best interests, when he'd done what she'd told him and fled with her Pokemon…
The Ra damned Pharaoh knew it too, or at least suspected, revealing a weak spot to his enemy, but, unlike his predecessor, he didn't attack the friends of enemies, although how much of that was because of the runt, he didn't know.
He'd been following the group since they'd left the hospital, unsurprised that he could sense magic from the runt. He wasn't stupid, between the magic he was sensing and the way Aisu was treating the runt, he was certain that was the Pharaoh tagging along with his friend.
When they'd entered the Day Care Centre, Bakura had slipped around the side, entering one of the holes that had yet to be filled in and dodged around the workmen working on the staff room, to the almost perfectly secure, except for the broken lock, Pokeball room.
It had cost him to get these two back for her, his host would require hospital treatment, but while he was in control he could ignore it, he'd had worse.
"Miss Francis! You should see this!"
Bakura swore in ancient Egyptian as the Trainer came straight through, pausing when she spotted Bakura, looking quickly over her shoulder, then grinning and rushing over. "'Kura? What're you doing here? Can't Yugi sense you?"
"There's too much Shadow Magic swimming about him today, he couldn't sense mine through his own." Bakura let the 'Kura go, as he had for the last couple of weeks, since he wouldn't let her call him Ryou. "Are you alright now?"
"Tired still." Jamie sighed, "And I'm having trouble thinking straight at the moment, but nothing that slows me down too much."
"You shouldn't be here, you should be resting."
"Don't you start 'Kura. It's bad enough from them." The Trainer frowned.
"Trying to keep you on a leash?" Bakura growled.
"No." Jamie hastily reassured him, "Just not used to the resilience of Trainers." She looked at him, "So, you here to check on me? Or on the Day Care?"
"Actually." Bakura gave her the two Pokemon, "I was going to leave them on the shelf."
"Which ones?" Jamie asked, excited.
Bakura grinned, "Guess."
"Give me a clue, please."
"Hmmm." Bakura was smirking now, "I suppose."
"Please?"
"One's white and blue and long and the other's red and yellow and blue and long."
"You didn't?" Jamie grinned, "Dragonair and Milotic?"
Bakura just nodded.
"You're the best!" Jamie glomped him, then let go quickly as she felt his wince. "Sorry…" She gave him an honestly worried look, "You're hurt."
"Nothing serious." Bakura reassured her, knowing that she wouldn't push it if he didn't push her exhaustion from drowning. Trainers were good at recovering from a normally fatal thing like death and she didn't know how far humans in this world could be pushed.
"Get it looked at, ok?"
"I will."
She smiled, "Thanks 'Kura."
"Be careful, your enemies aren't working alone." Bakura warned her.
"Don't antagonise Yugi's enemies." Jamie returned the warning, "Their leader has a Millennium Item."
Bakura nodded, ruffling the girl's hair. "Stay safe kid."
"I will, if you do."
Since they both knew the other was going to get into danger, it was a safe enough statement.
"See ya later 'Kura." Jamie left, still smiling as she looked at the Pokeballs and Bakura slipped out the way he'd come, following the group until they entered the Game Shop to get their Duel Disks.
He didn't understand the nature of his friendship with Jamelia, but he would be damned if he was going to let the Pharaoh endanger his friend.
Jamie wouldn't die to help the Pharaoh if Bakura could help it.
