Random Evil Psycho: Hey peeps, for once I'm doing a serious story (shock, horror and disbelief!!!) yeah so anyway I don't own Yugioh or anything else I don't own that I didn't mention here. One more thing this story is based on some things I've heard / read about Bakura's past, but I also made some up and I've added another character called Kira (that is pretty much a girl version of Bakura, but a year younger) so enjoy!!!
Note: I replaced this chapter as I changed some things and crud so hope you like it!
A Tale of Two Thieves
Chapter 1 – Kuru Eruna
It was a hot day in Kuru Eruna, just like it always was but Kira didn't mind. The wind whistled over the sand as Kira ran her fingers through her short white hair. Many people told Kira that she looked like her mother because of her white hair and deep blueeyes. Kira barely knew her mother because she died when Kira was only five. Her younger brother Namu was only one when their mum died, he didn't understand until there father told him. She remembered when her mum told her and Namu stories of the beautiful palace gardens with pretty fountains while brushing Kira's hair. She smiled happily.
Namu looked so small when he was in their mother's hands. Kira remembered before she was allowed to see Namu her father told her to be careful with Namu because he was so small and fragile. Kira sighed.
"Namu." she said quietly, thinking of her younger brother. Namu was four now but he hadn't changed, he was still small, fragile and quiet. Because Namu was so small and quiet he got bullied quite a bit.
She thought about the other day when a couple of kids told Namu he was weird because of his white hair and his size, and then started punching him. Then she showed up and showed them they picked the wrong person to mess with. After the kids had left, she helped Namu off the ground.
"Thanks Kira" said Namu and gave her a big hug.
"I was really worried that those kids would hurt me" he said quietly holding his little toy tightly. It was a little brown doll with white hair. It was stuffed with wool and had a little green shirt made of soft cloth. Their mum had made it for Namu before she died.
"Namu, I'll never let anyone hurt you, ever." said Kira, holding Namu close, "Okay." Namu looked up at Kira.
"Promise?" said Namu.
"I promise." Said Kira. Namu gave her a smile that looked like it went from one ear to the other. Kira ruffled his hair like she always did and he did a really cute pout.
Kira smiled, she always felt the need to protect Namu. She felt it was her job as his bigger sister to do that. Kira then remembered the job her father wanted her to do and went back to work.
Kira walked across the desert till she stopped at a small waterhole. Kira didn't like having to walk across the desert to get water. She would have preferred to be playing with her friends, but she knew it was her job, because Namu wasn't quiet old enough to walk across the desert by himself. Still she didn't mind the waterhole, Namu and Kira had made a little house out of sticks which leaned on a palm tree and she left some little jugs there so she could drink some water. The seven year old struggled to carry the jug of water over the blazing hot desert. Kira heard a faint noise and could see smoke in the air, she realised that people were screaming and the smoke was coming from the village!
Dropping the water, the young girl rushed to the village only to see burning huts and people running away from the pharaoh's army, only to be cornered and slaughtered. Kira saw people she knew being cornered and speared by the guards. She turned away and covered her ears to try block out the noise of people's screams of pain and the laughter of the guards. As Kira turned, she noticed that the guards hadn't raided her house yet. In a desperate attempt to find someone she knew, she raced towards her house. When she got inside she found her father with Namu holding tightly to his clothes with his eyes closed shut. They came towards the door and her father reached out and grabbed her.
"Kira!" he screamed, "You and Namu must get out of here! Take him and run as fast as you can and get far away from the village!" The sound of guards coming towards the house was getting louder. He picked up Kira and put her and Namu in a cupboard just behind his feet. He quickly shut the cupboard just as the guards broke through the door.
"Kira." squeaked Namu, "What's happening?" Kira quietly shushed Namu, and then opened the cupboard a crack so she could see what was happening.
Before Kira's farther could get away from the guards, they threw a spear into his chest and he slid slowly down the cupboard till he lay in front of where Kira was hiding. The guards walked away and Kira came out of her hiding place and sat beside her father. Namu crawled out and started crying as he saw their dad. Her eyes widened and tears started to flow from her eyes as she saw the blood spilling out of her father's chest where the spear stabbed him. Namu nuzzled his face into their dad's chest. Kira threw herself over their father, hugging him tightly and covering her shirt in blood but she didn't care. She loved her dad more then anything, he made her so happy and she wasn't going to let that happiness slip though her fingers so easily.
Struggling to speak he whispered, "Kira, I love you and you really do look like your mother."
"No, Daddy you can't go." said Kira softy as more tears ran down her pale face, "We need you," she held Namu close to her.
"Kira you must go." said her father as he started stroking Kira's hair. "You must take Namu and run."
"Daddy I won't leave you here." said Kira, "I won't let the guards take you away."
"I have done many things in my life Kira." said her father, "But you are still young and you and Namu have many things to do far away from here. If you stay here with me, the guards will get both of you too."
"But…" protested Kira but was stopped before she could say any more.
"Kira, you'll do great things." said her father, wiping some tears off from her little face, "Your mother would be proud. Look after Namu and don't let anything happen to him." he finished and kissed Kira on her forehead. Then Namu looked up at him.
"I love you Daddy.' He said and then their father kissed Namu on the forehead too.
"I love you Kira and Namu." With his last words, he closed his eyes. Kira stopped for a second and just stared at her father trying to understand what was happening. She got up and got some blankets out of a cupboard and placed them over her father.
She kissed him on the forehead and said, "I love you to Daddy." before running out into the streets. Namu followed her.
There was one thing running though Kira's mind that her dad had told her, "Get out of here as fast as you can!" and that's exactly what she did. She grabbed Namu's hand and they ran through the streets passing piles of bodies, occasionally Kira noticed the face of someone she knew or a child she had played with. No matter what, Kira stopped for nothing, she just kept running. All off a sudden she tripped and a sharp pain came from her shoulder. Kira screamed and placed her hand over her shoulder. When she withdrew it, her hand was covered in blood. Suddenly Kira noticed that most of her body was covered in scratches, bruises and sores. Namu started to cry so she ignored the pain and hid behind a wall.
"It's all right Namu." she said, "We've just got to get out of here before..." Namu looked up at her as if he knew what she was going to say.
"Before what?" he said sadly, "Before what happened to daddy happens to us?"
"Yes." Kira said softly, stroking Namu's tear stained face.
"But, I should of helped daddy." said Namu, pushing himself away from Kira, "I'm so weak and small I couldn't even help him Kira." Kira stared into Namu's little chocolate brown eyes and smiled.
"We couldn't help daddy." She said moving closer to Namu and hugging him, "He gave up his life to save us okay. It wasn't you fault at all."
"Okay." said Namu. Then a shocked look came over Namu's face.
"What's wrong Namu?"
"I...I dropped my doll" he said looking around. Then a happy look came over his face. "It's alright I can see! It's just over there!" he said crawling out into the open and picked up his toy, snuggling it into his chest. Kira looked over at him, two guards came up behind him rasing there spears.
"Dirty thieves." said one of the guards.
"LOOK OUT NAMU!!!!" she screamed, but it was too late before he could turn around one of the guards stabbed his lance straight through Namu's back. Kira saw Namu open his mouth to try and scream but no noise came out only some blood spat of his mouth.
"NO! NAMU!!" Kira screamed.
The two guards stated to laugh.
"Stupid dirty thief" said one of the guards spitting on Namu and then the two of them walked off. Kira came out of her hiding place and over to Namu. She bit her lip, then she started to cry. Namu opened his little brown eyes.
"Kira." said Namu faintly.
"Namu." she said happily hugging him. Namu shrieked and spat out more blood. Kira quickly put him down.
"Kira." he said softly, "I'm so sleepy."
"No, no, no." she said quickly, "Don't go to sleep Namu."
"But I'm so tired." he said his voice sounding creaky.
"I love you Kira."
"I love you to Namu." she said kissing him on the cheek
"Kira." said Namu quietly, "You have to run away, that's what daddy said."
"Namu, remember my promise." said Kira. Namu nodded
"I promised that I would never let anyone hurt you and I'm not going to break that promise."
"Promise?" he said smiling slightly, and then coughing up blood on the ground beside him. Kira put her hands lightly on his chest his breathing was slowing and almost stopping.
"I promise." said Kira.
"Kira what if..." he said before he was stopped.
"Namu, it's going to be alright just..." Kira paused, "Just stop talking and don't go to sleep. I'll be back soon with some water and blankets." Namu looked up at Kira and smiled. She kissed him on the forehead.
"I'll be back." She ruffled his hair and then she ran off.
Kira ran as fast as she could back to the house. She hid against the wall as she saw some guards go in and drag her father out. She just wanted to jump out and grab her dad and show the guards how tough she was. But she knew they were bigger then her and would probably kill her. Then she remembered, Namu was still alive waiting for her. The guards had gone away and she ran in to the hut.
She looked around quickly she saw a small blanket and took it quickly. She then looked for water, but she remembered, she went to get it from the waterhole and had dropped it on the way. Before she could think about what to do she heard guards, she looked around for a place to hide. She saw the cupboard and hid in there again. She saw the guards come inside with torches and lit the hut on fire! They quickly ran out. Kira got out of her hiding place and ran past the fires.
The fires had covered the door way and there was no way out! Kira looked around quickly the flames where getting bigger. A piece of wood from the roof nearly fell on her, but she got out of the way. She had to get out and save Namu. So she ran and jumped though the flames at the door. She hit the ground hard and rolled around to put out the flames on her clothes. She got up and ran back to where Namu was. When she got there Namu was gone.
'Maybe he got up and ran to safety.' she thought hopefully.But that was soon proved wrong when she saw the guards dragging him down the path were all the other bodies were. She gasped when one of the guards poked him with a spear.
"Hey! This one's still alive." another guard came over to Namu and poked him.
"He is too."
The first guards smiled wickedly and raised his spear.
"In the name of the Pharaoh." he said before plunging his lance straight through Namu's stomach. His eyes widened and blood spilled out of his mouth before he dropped and lay lifelessly on the ground. She slid her back against the wall and cried.
"I promised I'd never let anything happen to him." she said, "I promised!" .Tears flowed from her littledeep blueeyes and she put her head between her knees and cried more. She put one of her hands over her eyes to try stop the tears and the other on the ground beside her. When she put her hand down it hit something. She pulled head up, out from between her knees and looked down at her hand. She'd put her hand on something soft. When she picked it up her eyes widened. It was Namu's toy doll. Kira picked it up and put it in her pocket. Clearing her mind she took a deep breath thenshe dropped the blanket and ran.
Soon Kira was out of Kuru Eruna and in the desert somewhere, she didn't know where she was. She shrieked as she felt the sharp pain again, she hurt every where and the sand didn't help. She felt like someone was rubbing salt in to all her sores. Stinging everywhere, she collapsed, her head falling into the sand, all she felt like doing was closing her eyes and going to sleep.
"Kira, Kira don't go to sleep, you can't go to sleep sweet heart." said a familiar voice.
"Daddy!!!" shouted Kira as she quickly jumped up. But all she could see was thin air and sand on the ground, "Daddy!!! Where are you?"
"Never mind that sweetheart," said the soothing voice, "you have to make it to the closest city, and you'll find the help you need there."
"But I'm so sore and tired." she said falling back into the sand.
"Kira." said a small childish voice, "Don't be so lazy! You've got to get to the city!"
"Namu!" she said getting back up and once again she saw nothing, "Where are you! I can't see you and I want to!!"
"Kira," said the childish voice again, "if you keep being lazy the mean guards will come and get you."
"Listen to your brother." said the voice of her father, "You have to go, the guards will come through here soon and if they find you then they'll take you!"
"But I want to see you!!" She yelled.
"Just go!!" said the two voices of her dad and Namu, "Go now!!"
She got up and ran, but after awhile she couldn't run any more so she walked.
She walked and walked but by this time she though the desert would never end. She barely got lost in the desert, maybe once or twice. It would always turn out alright in the end, her father would tell her that every time she got lost. But her father wasn't there to help her anymore. Kira started to doubt whether that things would be alright.
Kira legs ached so much she thought they would fall off. She just felt like giving up and just laying there on the spot, she knew what her father and Namu had told her but it was getting all too much for the young girl. Just then she spotted a small waterhole with a little stick house beside it. It was the waterhole she always walked to, the one she went to get the water from. She rushed over and splashed water on to her little hot red face.
Kira sat under a palm tree that was shading the water. It was nice to have a small spot of shade in the blazing desert and it was also nice to have a break from walking. Kira watched the sun set into the sand filled hills. It was too late and too dark to walk to the city. Kira decide to stay in her little hut.
The hut was made of sticks and there were cracks in the walls where the sticks hadn't fitted together properly. Kira liked her hut and was proud of it because she made it with Namu and they had got some help from their dad. It had a door that was just big enough for Kira to fit through and a little window. Inside the hut was a bit of straw covering the floor and a small blanket. Kira snuggled herself into the straw and placed the blanket over herself.
"Tomorrow I will go to the city." she said to herself before going to sleep.
