I lifted the sheets to find a note folded in half. I gently fingered the delicate papyrus before opening it. There on the sheet, hastily scrawled in hieroglyphic form was written "the guards have been taking longer shifts lately, but I think I'll be able to make it tonight"
"tonight!" I thought to myself, "I need to get ready!" hastily I brushed my hair than put on my best jewelry. My night gown was already fancy enough so there was really no need to change it. I pushed aside the curtains to look across the landscape for my king, riding on his horse to take me away from my protective father and on an adventure far away.
It was getting darker and you still couldn't see any one coming. You yawned and rested your head on your arms letting your eyes slowly close. But than in the distance was a small dot. It appeared to be moving fast. You sat up and squinted your eyes to see what was coming closer over the sandy horizon.
"He's coming!" I thought as I hastily ran to my mirror, making sure that the kohl on my eyes hadn't smeared. Checking myself over in the larger one I nodded in approval before dashing to the window a looking out to see, riding on a dark brown horse, a man with messy white hair, wearing a long red robe that billowed out behind him. Even from where I am I can see his muscular limbs gripping the reigns of the horse; tightly to keep from falling off.
He stopped at the wall that surrounded the castle and unpacked a rope from his pouch. A hook appeared to be attached to it. I watched as he flung it over the wall till it landed and skidded across something stable enough to support his weight. He disappeared behind the wall as he started climbing.
You sat on your bed knees bouncing up and down with anticipation. You tightened the sash on your waist and quickly looked out to see him dashing among the palace garden to get to your room. You prayed to ra that I was beautiful enough and not plain, as some of your siblings called you, for your dark hair only hung at bust length and did nothing to accentuate your features. The only thing you thought that was remarkably unique about your self was your grape colored eyes you
Inherited from your father.
"Caw! Ca-caw! Caw!" I heard the signal and ran to grab my cat, teph and held him close to the window. His meows and cries could be heard throughout the yard causing several new guards to look up. They quickly looked away however, as their superiors yelled for them to quit slacking off. Since I could not skillfully imitate animal noises we decided that that would be our secret code for "ok" or, "do not come up" my signal was accepted below as a rope was thrown through my window, I tied it to a hole on the floor I made resembling a loop you could tie things through. I stepped away as the rope quickly tightened and became tense.
The feeling came quickly as the shrouded head poked through my window.
After an arm, than a leg to a torso he stood up in my room and pulled off the cloth tied around his head.
"Bakura!" I ran into his arms and breathed in his heavenly scent.
"Good to see you too princess" he said stroking my head.
"I missed you so much!" I said but since my face was pressed into his
chest it sounded more like,
"I miffed yu fo muff!"
he grinned than kissed me on my forehead before lifting me up and
setting me on his lap. I wrapped my arms around him giggling before he lay back and put my head on his chest.
"You look beautiful today" he said
I giggled in response than hugged him tighter
"Thank you for coming" I said looking up at him. He smiled at me than said
"You remember what today is right?" I nodded than let him get up. He kneeled in front of me and grasped my hands. His were rough and weathered while mine were soft and delicate.
"Today is our one year anniversary, we've been together for 12 moons now" he said looking into my eyes,
"And as your present I will give you anything you desire" he winked at me and stood up, pulling me into his embrace.
"Ah bakura…"
"Mmm?"
"I do have one wish…."
"And what would that be?" he said tilting my chin up.
"I want…to be free from here…I want to be with you bakura!" I looked deep into his lavender eyes as I said this. He smiled and stroked my hair. He grasped my hands and said.
"Well it's a promise than, maybe not tonight but I will be coming back for you" he paused than said.
"But I do need you to do something for me…."
"What is it? I can get it done"
"You know about the millennium items right?" he asked
"Only a little, they were created by the sacrifices of ku-" he looked away, his eyes seemed to glow red as he remembered his past. The cities massacre.
"You know where the ring is?"
"The millennium ring?" I asked,
"That's the one"
"I think mahado has it, I've seen him with it" he nodded. He than looked around and whispered in my ear,
"I want you to get it for me" my eyes widened as the mere thought of stealing such a sacred item entered my head.
"But bakura!" I whispered fiercely,
"How do you think im going to be able to get it when he's always wearing it?"
"Heh" he ruffled my hair and said,
"you're a very clever girl, I know you'll be able to do it" after all, he is your fathers right hand man, and you are his favorite daughter" I pouted than said after a short minute,
"….ok"
"There's a good girl!" he said lifting me up so that he was carrying me bridal style.
"Ah-bakura stops!" I said while laughing as he spun me around. He stopped than put his hand around my head as he leaned in to kiss me.
Bloody ell' that was a long chapter -_- tell me if I go into detail too much of the time or if I need more, I often times put so much detail into one little scene than move on to another one that happens 10 minutes later. I hope you liked it thief bakura is a pimp! (no not rly XD)
Now I know there are some things incorrect in this chapter like how bakura could some how right and I could somehow read even though in ancient Egypt only scribes could really do that T-T. oh and I also looked up how long the Egyptian calendar was so it actually was around 12 months.
