Friendship echo chamber? [or possibly max awkward of Bakura's hidden crush on his best friend (that he utterly denies exists) getting out of hand, but that's totally your call either way there, no pressure.]

Also, unless I utterly screwed up my math, Bakura should be able to make it to New Bark in 2 days and able to fly Yuugi either back to Goldenrod or to wherever he wants to go before the event hits.
