Chapter One Memories
"Hey, Ryou!" Ryou turned around.
"Oh, hi Melody." The timid, white-haired, brown-eyed boy waited for his friend.
What are you doing here at the book store?"
"Checking out Millennium items-if they were ever recorded."
"I see."
"And you?"
I guess for the same thing."
"What do you mean?"
Ryou held up his Millennium Ring.
"Right. I meant motive though."
"Oh. Well you remember that evil spirit?"
"Yeah. You mean Yami Bakura, right?"
"Yes. Well, all I know is that he lived in Ancient Egypt and that he was a thief that had something to do with the Pharoah's sister."
"Yeah, the princess. That was me." Melody looked at Ryou with her big purple eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I had a vision and it all made sense. I was the princess; Yugi was the pharaoh, and you, well, actually the spirit, were the thief. You and the rest of my friends were Yugi and my advisors. Seto was my boyfriend."
"That's obvious, 'bout you and Seto." Melody blushed. " Sorry to embarrass you."
It's okay."
"Well, will you tell me 'bout your vision?"
"Sure. Maybe it will answer some of your questions."
"Maybe." Melody didn't notice that Ryou's voice had grown husky and that he had silently turned back into Yami Bakura, waiting for his favorite story to be told.
*** Flashback*** (A/N: Most of the story is a flashback of the dream.)
"Sister, are you feeling all right?"
Melody looked at the Pharaoh. She knew it was Yugi by how he looked, but it wasn't his name. His name was Yami.
"I don't know brother; my head hurts."
"Is it because of your headache or what happened during this week?"
"I don't know. I guess it's both." They were walking through a passageway as they talked.
"Remind me, what happened again?"
"Well the first incident happened four nights ago. After I told you I was going to play 'Shadow Realms,' I went to the chambers and played. About six minutes into the tenth game, I decided to finish up and leave. My opponent didn't want that to happen. He allowed me to win, but afterwards he followed me. After five minutes, I turned around and asked what he wanted. He said he wanted my soul or a kiss. Knowing he had the Millennium eyeball, I gave him a kiss. He thanked me and told me to watch my back. I haven't seen him since."
"Okay, what about the other incident?"
"Well, this was two nights ago. I did everything the exact same way until my last opponent.
"Unlike the other one, he told me straight out that he wanted me to come with him. I told him that I had to leave and see you, so I turned around and began to leave. But his mind wasn't satisfied. He grabbed my arm and practically dragged me across to the opposite exit. I got out of his grasp and ran. He tackled me and grabbed my hair and actually dragged me across the room and back to that exit. Then, he slammed me against the stonewall - which hurt a lot- and pinned me. He told me it was my last chance to go with him willingly. I asked why was I so important, and he smiled. Then, his hand was off my hair but it was cascading down my shoulder and the other one was in. in. in." Melody was crying and was having a hard time trying to describe what horrible deed was done to her.
"It's okay, I understand what you're getting at. Continue- if you want to."
"I will. I screamed for help. He tried to stop it by kissing me hard on the mouth. But you still heard me. As you and our guards were coming closer, he began shuffling through his deck and smiled maliciously at me. When you drew closer, he called upon the Barricading Walls-blocking you guys. But you broke it. When he noticed, he ran off, and said that he world be back for me."
"Have you seen him?"
"Yes, once yesterday. But when he attacked me, he was wearing a cloak."
"Then how can you be so sure that it was him?"
"By his Millennium Ring necklace." Her brother thought long and hard.
"They both had items of Millennium?"
"Yes. I know the first one you gave it to, and it is he that doesn't bother me. It's the other one."
"Why?"
"He stole the Millennium Ring Necklace before he attempted to murder Kogi." Kogi was a fellow servant that had watched the Pharaoh and his sister since they were babies.
"And when he heard Kogi wasn't dead?"
"He killed him."
"Sister, how do you know all this?"
"I read his mind."
"Again? You should stop reading minds."
"I know. But it is helpful. Isn't it?" The Pharaoh looked at his sister and smiled warmly.
"Yes, it is. Did you catch his name?"
Melody blushed. " Not really. But I know what people call him."
"What?"
"Bakura."
"Him? That fiend tried to hurt you?"
"Yeah." Melody clutched her head- the pain was throbbing.
"Are you all right?"
"My head hurts."
"Why don't you go rest? It'll probably help you."
"Yeah, I guess so." And with that she walked to her bedroom.
~*~
Her bedroom was nice and quiet. The big, translucent doors led towards the Nile River. The canopy of her bed, sheet, and shades were made out of the same white cloth of her dress. She didn't keep paintings because when Melody was little, a painting fell on her and knocked her unconscious.
She lay down of her bed. Melody seemed to be sinking in her downy bed and pillows. She began falling asleep. Then, she heard something. An intruder.
She barely opened her eyes to see what was going on. The shady figure was slowly opening the transparent doors. He strode through her room to the other side to where the door was. He listened through the door and then opened it. No one was nearby. He then closed the door- satisfied- and walked up to her bed. Melody closed her eyes, after seeing who it was. It was Bakura.
Bakura smiled at the sleeping princess- then slammed his fist into her gut. " I know you're awake, princess," he said with a sneer.
"Then you know what I'm about to do then," she gasped painfully.
"What? Call your stupid brother, the Pharaoh?" he teased. "Go ahead and try."
"BROTHER! Help me!" she screamed as loud as possible. Bakura just laughed.
"Is that the best you can do? Ha! That was pathetic! I bet that only you and I heard that." Bakura lunged at Melody. She tumbled out of the bed- landing on her bottom. They faintly heard the Pharaoh and his servant footsteps as they came closer to her bedroom. "But how? Your doors are made out of silver and gold."
"My twin and I have a special connection, we can hear each other's thoughts." Bakura smiled maliciously.
"Will he be able to hear you after you have been drugged with chloroform?"
He caught Melody off guard, when her back was to him. Bakura's arm was wrapped around her waist, the other struggling to cover her mouth and nostrils with a cloth dampened with chloroform.
"You wouldn't dare," she gasped trying to hold her breath whenever the cloth touched her.
"I would." Bakura then got a firm grasp on Melody, squeezing the breath out of her. It was impossible for her to breathe. She was weakening from the lack of oxygen.
As Melody tried to think of a way to get out of the situation, Bakura saw his chance. He put the towel over her mouth as she gasped for air. Since the towel was drenched in chloroform, she was out in a matter of seconds.
When her eyes closed, the Pharaoh saw Bakura walk to the window, which led to a simple fall of eight feet to death.
"Stop right there and let go of my sister!" her brother shouted.
Bakura paused and stared at the Pharaoh through the mirror. Bakura smiled evilly.
"Who's going to stop me?" he murmured quietly. " If it's you then, say good- bye to your sister now."
"Why do you mock my power?"
"It is simple; because I will have three Millennium items while you have only one."
"You're going to use my sister's Ring and Knife against me?"
"Exactly-if you attack." The Pharaoh watched as his sister was dragged out of the window. If he went to save her, Bakura could easily slice her throat. He went straight to the window.
Melody was laid upon his back, so that if anyone tried to attack, they would kill her instead of Bakura. Her brother watched as Bakura began to make his horse gallop away, towards the sun. "Oh, he's clever alright," he agreed, "but not clever enough."
~*~
Melody's eyes opened slowly. The sun glared into her eyes. She could feel whatever she was laying on was moving at a steady she was laying on was moving at a steady pace. She assumed it was a horse by the way Bakura controlled it (and by the smell.) Bakura was sitting on the horse as well. He had her sitting towards him, with her back to the horse's neck. She realized the Bakura hadn't looked to see if she was awake or not.
She got off the horse as quickly and quietly as possible and ran in the opposite direction. But Bakura had already seen her.
He turned the horse and watched Melody struggle through the sand. "So the princess is awake, eh?"
Bakura saw her freeze and then began to run. He gave her a head start then began to chase her.
Melody saw that he was coming closer and she tried to run faster. But the sand only made her clumsy. She tripped. As she got up, she felt Bakura grab her around the waist and put her back on the horse.
"You thought you were going to escape?"
"It was worth a try," she said, sourly.
"Well, if your escapes are as bad as that, then, your capture is like a game for me. But I don't want you to run now." Bakura went looking through his deck with one hand, the other on Melody's neck. He smiled when he saw the card that he wanted. Bakura turned it towards her. The picture upon the card was of a human figure wrapped up in ropes.
"Do you know what this card is, Princess?"
"Yes," she muttered. Melody could not say it louder because Bakura's grasp was tight and harsh to her throat.
"What is it called then?" he mused. Bakura was enjoying how the princess had to struggle for her life as she talked.
"It's called 'Mortal Bind.' It is suppose to tie up any human in 'Shadow Realms' or . . ." she trailed off. Melody had realized why Bakura had shown her the card.
"Or if they have one of the pieces of Millennium," he glared at her, fire blazing in his eyes. "I know that you know what I'm going to do, don't you?" Melody looked away, as he smiled. "Yes, you do. So tell me, what am I going to do with you?"
"No."
"I told you to tell me." His grip tightened on her. "Because I demand to know!" She gasped painfully.
"Alright, I'll tell you. Just loosen your grip on me."
"That's what a good little princess should do." His grip loosened, but it was still strong enough for her to only. By now, Bakura had been playing with her long and soft hair while the card was sticking out of his tunic. "So what am I going to do to you?"
"You're going to use that card against me, to bind me so I don't leave."
"Correct, Princess. And without further adieu, I place mortal bind on you." The horse neighed as Melody's arms were strapped around his neck by magical ropes that had appeared and began to tie her arms and legs together. "Since you are tied to the horse you will not escape, leaving me to do whatever I want to do."
Bakura's hand went straight to the left upper part of her kalasiris and squeezed hard. Melody screamed, tears form around her eyes. He smiled at her pain.
"That hurt, please don't do it again," she pleaded.
"Princess, I wish I could but." he teased mockingly.
"But what?"
He grinned at her question. "But I don't want to."
And with that, he did it again but this time on her upper right. Melody screamed once again. "Do you understand the pain that I feel when I don't get my way Princess? And if you don't do as you're told it will happen again"
"Why me?"
"Why?! Why my princess, you just asked the same stupid question that every girl that I had fallen in love with has asked. But unlike you, I could have them willingly. Where I wanted you, you had become engaged to that lousy man of a prince of Upper Egypt. Guess what, princess? I get what I want, and I have you."
"What happened to your other girlfriends? Did they betray you?"
"No," he smiled maliciously, "I killed them. They were unworthy of my superiority. But you princess, are not. You meet all my needs and expectations where everyone else has failed. You are mine now."
"I am not yours. I belong to no one. You are a low life for stealing me and killing those girls." Bakura slapped Melody hard on the face. Melody's eyes went glossy as a red hand print scorched her face.
"You are getting cocky, princess. I am not a lowlife. I like frisky women like you. It gives me a reason to beat them and to catch them off grard. But you only act like this when you seldomly get mad. But do not worry princess, there is more pain to come."
