Deep, red, revenge
Chapter 1:
"Bakura's dream about the past"
"Run Bakura , take Takaira and run Bakura!" Bakura's mother, Seika screamed as she pushed him out of the back door of the house. "But…Mother! Mother come with me! Please!" The future king of thieves screamed as he tried to pull his mother along with his three year old sister. At that time, Bakura was barely six when the imperial soldiers attacked the village. "Don't worry, Bakura, we'll be together again, I promise you!" Seika shouted as she ran back into the house. Bakura grabbed his younger sister's hand and they ran. Screams were heard through out the village as Bakura and Takaira ran.
And ran…
And ran…
To a nearby village, were Bakura frantically pulled his sister to a dark area of the town where they could not be seen. "Big brother, I'm scared…" Takaira whimpered as tears begin to form in her eyes "Don't worry Takaira, we'll find mother soon…" And the two siblings drifted off to sleep…
"hey,kid.Wake up" Bakura heard a voice rang into his ears.
"Big brother ! Wake up!" Takaira's voice reached in his ears soon after.
Bakura ceased his eyes open and in front of him were a young adult and his sister "Nnng..." he grunted as he stretched himself.
"Big brother! You won't believe this…he's… he's..."
"Yes, yes, It's me, the dark lord Sagara Sozo" the amber eyed man with light blue haired rolled his eyes.
"LORD S-mmFF!" Bakura shouted in surprise but at least Sagara covered his mouth on time.
"Shhh! No one needs to know. Come on, I'll take you to my hide out." Sagara whispered to them and carried them up to his horse. "Um…Lord Sagara, sir, are you going to sell us..?" Bakura asked worriedly and gripped onto his sister. The dark lord laughed. 'Certainly not, I decided maybe I could, you know, let you live with me."
Takaira and Bakura's eyes widen in surprise "Really!" They both asked happily.
"Yes, of course" Sagara laughed again and carried both of them onto his horse before going up as well. And sped of to the out skirts of Egypt.
Bakura's eyes fluttered open…"What a long dream…" he muttered to himself.
Bakura and Takaira were adopted by Sagara Sozo ten years ago. Now Bakura was sixteen and Takaira was thirteen. Sagara trains them privately to steal and to fight various combats and how to use all kinds of weapons. But today, Takaira and Bakura were going to pick the weapon of their choice to use for the rest of their lives. "Big brother!" Takaira crashed into the room excitedly "common, common, common! Hurry up! We're picking our weapons today!" Takaira yelled excitedly as she pushed her brother into the bath room. "Now hurry up! Meet ya at the dinning hall!" Sagara's hide out was a huge palace-like area where loads of thieves were under his command.
Takaira was usually seen in the hide out wearing a long white dress with gold bands on her wrist and arms and a long black coat that was a bit like Bakura's, but his was red. She strolled to the dining hall where the thieve generals, Sagara, bakura and she eats at. She went into the dining hall and sat onto her usual chair, the first on the left side on the long table. Sagara seats at the end of the table just near to Takaira. Bakura seats opposite of her and the generals seat at the remaining chairs. Bakura entered soon after in white pants and his red coat. He too had gold bands on his wrist and arms. The meals were not always luxurious as Sagara likes to be thrifty. Some times it was just a whole large cow for all to share, other times there were selections of food to choose from, just like buffets. This time, they all had a huge slab of steak each.
"So, which weapon are you guys gonna choose? " Sagara asked happily. "I want to take the double bladed swords." Bakura replied as he started eating his steak. "And I'll take the reverse blades!" Takaira added. "The one you tie onto your lower arms?" Sagara asked surprised. "Yup." Takaira replied as she sank her teeth into the thick chunk of meat.
Sagara also thought Takaira dark magic for future usage, as it would be in good use when she was captured. Who knew her powers were strong enough to destroy the hold palace of the pharaoh.
Sagara smiled as he watched the two youthful spirits eat their breakfast.
"Captain, what are we doing today? " Bakura asked. "Today, we'll go and steal from the village of Magaiso. "Captain, are we able to steal everything we can find?" Takaira asked unsure of the mission. "Just get what you can as fast as you can! Plus instead of running, today we are going to use horses!" "Alright!" Takaira cheered and punched the air. There were six generals. One in charge of training, one of mission planning, one in resource, one in weaponry, two for battle. They were Sagara's good friends and best men.
