Yukihara:
I hummed very quietly as I worked my way through the back streets of the village carrying a bag over my shoulder. I love going out at night and sneaking little gems and such from houses. It always filled me with joy and pleasure to know that the houses I left would wake in the morning to find their precious items gone. They would never know that a young girl like me had snuck into their house, although some might not classify me as a young girl anymore.
"Oh boy, wait till he gets a load of what I've got. He'll probably give loads of praise and give me a nice reward for my haul." I said quietly as I worked my way back to our little place. I knocked on the door three times and walked down the hall towards the main room where we always brought our goods. Others where already there and had their hauls on the table in front of him and he was looking them over.
"Disappointing all of you, how can you call yourselves part of my group?" He looked up and over at me as I walked in the room, "Yukihara good you're here, let's see what you got." I pulled my bag around in front of me and dumped the contents on the table. A pile of gold and gems spilled out and almost flowed over the table.
"Now this is a haul. Very good Yukihara, take note everyone that this is a true haul of a thief: Piles of gold, gems, valuables, and not useless junk. Good job as always Yukihara. Please wait in your room till I call you for your reward." I bowed low smiling a little,
"Of course, Bakura." I said and headed off to my room, and closed the door and went over to my mirror and brushed my long brown hair out. I saw the little scar on the left side of my neck and touched it, my emerald green eyes watering from the memories. It was very long ago when I received this scar, but the memories it held were still fresh as if they had happened only yesterday.
I'm 17 now but Bakura had found me just a few years ago when I was 10 and he was 15 and I had a small injury on my neck. My family had been killed by a large group of boys, so he took me in and taught me the ways of the thief. I had always seen him as a brother and never really went more then that, and he felt the same way. I listened carefully and pulled out a little hidden trinket I kept by my mirror. This trinket was special since I'd stolen it from the Pharaohs room. I had seen him when I was little and never could get him off my mind. Sometimes when I have enough time at night I sneak over to the palace and watch him. He always takes a walk at night through his gardens and I watch him from a little place the guards can't see very well at night. He's so handsome for 18 but Bakura would never understand how I feel if I told him that I liked the Pharaoh. I sighed a little and put the trinket back in it's hiding place as I heard footsteps coming, and there was a knock on my door.
"Enter." I called out and a man was standing there, one of Bakura's men.
"He'll see you now." I nodded and got up and followed him to Bakuras' room. I knocked on the door,
"Come in." I opened the door and stepped inside to see him standing over by his windows looking stern and sulky as always.
"You wanted to see me brother?" I asked smiling as I shut the door. He never liked it that I always called him brother when it's just him and me talking alone he'd rather I call him by name all the time, though that does get very boring.
"How many times do I have to tell you to just call me Bakura?" He said gruffly as he turned to me and I smiled a little more.
"A whole bunch because you are my brother since we grew up together. I never had any brothers or sisters so you're the only family I have now." I said sweetly and he sighed.
"I guess some things will never change. I bet you can't guess what your reward is though can you." I shook my head wondering what it could be.
"Well your reward is to go with a small group of my men and steal some things from the palace. Nothing in particular just what ever you feel like taking is fine. Then I want you to come straight back here, no side trips to any other houses." He said smiling and I frowned a little hurt by his words.
"Aw come on brother that's not fair. You know how much I like to go to loads of houses at night." I winned hoping that it might help, but by the look on his face I knew it didn't effect him. 'Stubborn as a mule, I doubt he'll ever change.' I thought sighing inside.
"I know that's why I said to come straight home when you're finished at the palace. I will know if you went anywhere else, since I know how long it takes to get from here to there and back again." He said and I looked at him, trying to get him with a watery puppy-eyed look.
"So what you want us to do a quick snag and then leave? Man that's cold brother." I said flopping down on his bed and he chuckled, as he strode over and looked down at me with a small smile on his face.
"I know but you better get some rest, for tomorrow night you'll be going to the palace alright." He said pulling me up, and I sighed.
"Ok night brother." I said giving him a tight quick hug and headed out of his room. I slumped back to my room and changed into my nightclothes and fell into bed holding my trinket. 'I wonder if I can get just one glimpse of the Pharaoh before heading home.' I thought as I placed the trinket under my pillow and fell asleep smiling, and tucked my trinket farther under the pillow so as not to be found by anyone coming to wake me.
xXx
I woke up and saw the sun was starting to set. I checked and found my trinket still under my pillow and smiled as I changed out of my nightclothes. I stretched and went out of my room and down the hall to grab something to eat, and saw someone had a small loaf of bread sitting infront of him. I smirked as I nicked it off his plate while he was looking the other way. 'Haha you look away, and it's free for the taking.'
"Hey where's my bread?" I heard him say as I went over to sit by Bakura smirking as I bit into it. He smiled at me as I sat down,
"Bread thief are you now Yukihara?" He asked quietly as I snacked on the bread, and I smiled at him.
"So what? It's not like he was going to eat it, he was to busy talking to eat. So how many of the men am I going with to the palace Bakura?" He looked around the room and nodded to a few of them.
"Three. I don't want any more then that to be there at one time. Eat up." He said pushing a plate towards me, and I gladly accepted the food since I was very hungry. Bakura stood when I was finished eating and the three I was to go with stood and I knew that it was time to go. I got up and went with them to another room and sat near Bakura, still thinking about the dessert that was still in the other room, and how good it must taste 'Mean brother doesn't even let me get dessert first.'
"Alright you four will leave here soon so listen carefully. You each will grab what you can quickly and return here before sunrise. If something goes wrong and you are found out then I want you three to protect and put your lives on the line for Yukihara, understood?" Bakura said glaring at his men and then all nodded.
"Come Princess let's go." I smiled and let them go first so I could hug Bakura,
"I'll see you soon brother. I want a good drink when I get home, promise? Nothing watery, good clean wine. You know the kind I like." He smiled a little.
"I promise, just be careful Yuki." I frowned but headed for the door and joined up with the others. 'Yuki. He knows I don't like that nickname. Well I guess it's to get back at me for calling him brother all the time.' I sighed as we headed towards the palace.
"Princess keep up or you'll fall behind." One called quietly, as we sped towards the Palace,
"I'm coming I'm coming." I hissed back and ran a little to keep up. The only reason they call me Princess is since Bakura is the Thief King, and I'm his sister so that means I'm the Princess of Thieves. Confusing? Yes, so I never dwell to long on the thought and just let them call me what they want.
xXx
We made it to the palace with no problems and spilt up. I went to a room and gathered up a few light trinkets and headed to the Pharaoh's room to see if I could get a few more things. 'Oh I wonder what I can get this time. I hope I can get a ring or bracelet…something like that would be nice.' I thought smiling as I landed gently on his balcony, and found that he wasn't there. 'Hmm on his nightly walk I see. Good that gives me time to look for something good.' I thought smiling, as I looked his room over. I found a little necklace with his name carved into it, and I took it eagerly and got out of his room and headed for my tree. 'A perfect view of the gardens from here…oh there he is! Man how I'd love to meet him without a batch of guards bringing me in chains to him.' I thought as I watched him stroll through the gardens, and sighed very lightly. 'He is so good looking! Tri-colored spiky hair that defies gravity and lavender eyes, and even though he looks slim he seems very strong. The perfect guy to run Egypt, and I wish I could talk to him but Bakura would never allow me leave to live here in the palace.' I sighed again and jumped from my tree to the wall and ran to meet up with the others.
"Princess what took you, we were worried." One said giving me a little glare. 'Geez can't a girl have a look at a guy she may never meet.' I thought grumbling to myself.
"Sorry someone was in the room I wanted so I had to find another room." I said knowing the necklace with his name was hidden safely on me. I pulled a couple of jeweled rings out of a pocket to show them and they nodded.
"Alright let's get going, Bakura's waiting." We made to leave but the others were struck and I caught something through my right shoulder and down my right arm.
"There over there! We got them, and there's three of them! Master Mahad was right in saying there were intruders in the Palace." I heard a guard say and saw that one of the men was blocking me from their view.
"Princess, go on with out us. Hurry and make it to the shadows before they arrive and find you here." I had tears in my eyes, but hurried away and watched from a safe distance as they were pulled into the palace by the guards. I turned and ran as best I could back to our little place. 'They were a few of Bakura's best men. Knowing him though he'll see that what they did was best to keep me safe since they did follow their instructions.' I thought as I jogged along trying not to move my right arm at all.
xXx
No one was watching the door which was weird, so I got inside easily enough and went down the hall to the room I could hear Bakura's laughing coming from. I knew my arm was really injured for I couldn't move it, and I saw I was leaving a blood trail from my injuries. I got through the door way but everything was starting to get blurry.
"Br…Brother." I called out in a little voice, and the room went quiet, but I could barely see Bakura getting up.
"Yukihara what happened? Yukihara!" I fell and passed out on the floor.
xXx
Bakura:
"I'll see you soon brother. I want a good drink when I get home, promise? Nothing watery, good clean wine. You know the kind I like." I smiled a little at her.
"I promise, just be careful Yuki." She frowned at me and left with the others. 'I know she doesn't like it when I call her that but I don't like her calling me brother all the time. So we're even now.' I thought as I got up and headed back to the main room.
While I was waiting for Yuki and the others to get back I had gotten a few kegs of good wine from a nearby brewery and let everyone have some. We all were having a good time until someone walked into the doorway of the room and they were swaying a little on their feet. 'Who dares interupt us, especially without paying their respects?' I thought as I tried to clear my vision.
"Br…Brother." All the good feelings from the wine were swept away with that word spoken in alomst a whisper, and I got up quickly from my chair.
"Yukihara what happened? Yukihara!" She fell to the ground and I rushed over to her and received a shock. She had an arrow through her right shoulder and a few in her right arm. 'How in the world did she run all the way back here with such an injury. Never mind that now.' I thought as I picked her up gently and rushed out of the room and down the hall to a flight of steps leading to the infirmary. I gave her to the healer and told to wait outside the door.
"Do you honestly think your plan will work Bakura? What if when she finds out she won't go through with it? She's not going to like the person who killed her family…" I growled and turned to the voice that had come down the stairs, and saw him with his sandy unkempt hair and smirking with his lavender eyes almost illuminating the darkness of the stairwell.
"Enough Marik. She'll fall right into and have no choice but to do what I tell her. You heard her she called me brother, and she will do anything her brother tells her. Now enough go back upstairs." He shrugged and headed back up the stairs. 'She will do as I tell her or she'll suffer the consequences. My plan will work, I just need to keep her trust in me for a while longer. She will be the perfect tool for my plan whether she likes it or not.' I thought as I leaned against the wall.
xXx
Yukihara:
I woke up to see I was looking at the ceiling of my room and wondered how I got in my room when I was clearly down the hall looking for brother.
"What happened, how did I end up here?" I said out loud as I tried to sit up and suddenly scaring me a little I felt someone's hands on my shoulders.
"Whoa hang on you still need loads of rest Yuki. Those are some serious injuries you have." Bakura said pushing me back against my pillows.
"Brother? Oh I feel terrible. I feel like I got rundown by a carriage and narrowly missed the wheel." I said relaxing and could feel pain still in my shoulder and down my right arm.
"You wish that was the least of your worries. You got an arrow in your shoulder and a few in your arm. You've been knocked out for two days already. I was worried you might not wake up at all Yukihara for I thought the arrow in your shoulder had done much more damage." Bakura supplied and I could hear the worry in his voice, and turned my head a little to look at him. He looked like he hadn't slept in awhile, or had anything to eat since I last saw him. 'Has he been at my bedside the whole time I was asleep?' I wondered as he sat back a little in his chair.
"Brother you don't look well at all. Marik can look after me while you get something to eat and get some rest." I said and he raised and eyebrow, and sighed,
"Hmm well I don't trust him, but alright since you said so I'll go an tell Marik to come and sit by you." I smiled at him as he kissed my forehead and headed out of the room. I shifted a little and felt pain in my arm again.
"Damn…still hurts like hell." I hissed through my teeth not hearing the door open as someone entered.
"I see you got a little careless Yuki. It's not like you to be so reckless." I looked over as Marik walked in smirking at me.
"Only brother can call me that you know. He hears you and you're going to be in for it." I said as he came over and kissed my cheek and sat down. I don't love him like he would like me to, I see him as a brother also but he always wants me to be his girl.
"How many times must I tell you Marik? I don't…" He quickly cut across me,
"I know I know. You don't like me like that I know, but I was just making you see how worried I was about you. When I saw you walk in the door like that I was scared and so was Bakura. What happened to the others?" He asked and I looked at the ceiling again.
"They were struck too and told me to run for it. I saw them being dragged into the castle. None of the guards saw me for the men blocked me from view until I agreed to get away. Dammit this pain is annoying!" I said shifting again trying to see if a different postion would allow the pain to be lessened.
"You want me to get the healer to give you something for the pain?" Marik said looking a little worried, but I shook my head.
"No I would like something to eat though please." I said and he smirked,
"A nice meal coming right up, be right back." He said getting up and headed out the door. With my left arm I reached under my pillow and grabbed the trinkets I placed there. I looked at the necklace that had the Pharaohs name on it and smiled. I couldn't read the symbols but I knew that the arragement of the symbols meant it was a name. Marik came back before I had time to put it away, 'Oh crud not good, not good...'
"Here ya go…what's that?" He took the necklace from me and frowned as he looked it over.
"Has Bakura seen this?" I looked away from him and shook my head, my eyes stung a little from the tears I was holding back for I didn't know what he'd do. If he told Bakura I would be in so much trouble and then I wouldn't be allowed out of the hideout again,
"Please don't tell him Marik but I kinda like the Pharaoh. He is so kind looking and…" I stopped as I could feel my face warming up.
"You've got a little crush on him don't you?" Marik said handing me back the necklace and pinched my cheek softly, and I nodded a little. He sat down and with a sigh,
"I promise not to tell Bakura ok Yuki. So come on you need to eat if you want to get better if you want to get more looks at the Pharaoh." I blushed a little but let him help me sit up.
xXx
Bakura:
Marik came in and flopped down on a chair.
"How is she?" I asked as I looked over at him,
"Fine she just had something to eat and fell asleep. Her arm was bothering her a little but she didn't want the healer to give her anything for it. I wonder about her sometimes if she can heal herself, because once she fell asleep I checked her arm and the wounds seemed to be healed up a little more then they should be." He said with a shocked expression on his face and I was surprised to hear this myself.
"Hmm well then that's a good thing. Her recovery will be shortened if she can do that so our plan can be put into place sooner." I said smirking, thinking that the plan would be able to be put quickly in effect.
"Right well I'm going to get some sleep." He said getting up and left, and I stretched out on my bed.
"Soon very soon Pharaoh you'll get what's coming to you." I mused as I slowly drifted off to sleep.
There was a sharp knock on my door and I roused from sleep, cursing a little at who ever dared to try and wake me.
"Yes what it is?" I grumbled and Marik popped his head in,
"Yukihara wants to see you." I raised an eyebrow, "Don't worry she just wants to make sure you're alright and wants to chat." I got out of bed.
"Alright I'm coming. How's her arm?" I asked as we left my room.
"Better then yesterday. If this keeps up she could be healed in a couple days an be ready to go stealing again." I nodded as I knocked on her door and peeked in.
"Hey you wanted to see me Yuki?" I said smiling at her frown, as she adjusted herself a little on her pillows.
"Yeah I just wanted to see how you're feeling brother." I sat in the chair next to her and brushed a strand of hair out of her face.
"I'm fine but Marik says you're arm is healing up better then we thought and you might be able to get out of the house in a couple days." I said and she smiled.
"That's great news, cause you know I don't like to stick around for to long. Oh I can't wait to go stealing soon." I smiled at her.
"Easy, easy. Just get better first and worry about stealing after you're healed up." There was a hurried knock on the door,
"Enter." Yuki called out and one of my men came in looking scared. 'This does not seem good.' I thought as I looked at his face,
"Bakura my King you and the Princess must go. The Pharaoh has sent some guards into the village looking for another thief who was injured in the raid last night." Yuki gasped.
"They must have seen my blood trail it'll lead them right here." She whispered. I nodded to the man who came in and went to the door to call for Marik.
"I want you to come with us so we both can care for her. We can't let them get her just yet." I told him quietly as Yukihara was getting out of bed, and got ready.
"Ok lets go I'm ready." I turned to see she had dressed and put her cloak on. I nodded and the three of us ran to the horses. Yukihara went to get on one and I got behind her as she grabbed the reins,
"You're going to have a heck of a time steering so let me." She nodded and let the reins go and we took off with Marik beside us. Yukihara leaned back against me, her head down to avoid the sun even though she had her hood up. We headed out toward our hideout in the dessert while the other men were to cover everything up at our little base in the village. 'Damn looks like our little plan will be set back for a while. Oh well it gives Yukihara a little more time to rest and heal. The plan will have to wait until everything cools down here.' I thought as we spotted an oasis coming up, and went for it.
xXx
Yukihara:
We had gotten to the dessert hideout and had been here for about three weeks now. My arm was taking longer to heal for I felt so sad that I couldn't see the Pharaoh every night like I wanted to. I had figured out on my own that while I was happy I could heal faster, but when I was sad I would heal normally. I kept wondering what else I could do with my emotions, but was also scared of trying anything just yet for I didn't want to scare Bakura and Marik.
"Hey Yuki let's check that arm of yours'." Marik said coming into my room. I left my window seat and sat on my bed as Marik drew up a chair. I let him take hold of my arm and he started to un-wrap my arm to check it. He was always so gentle and sometimes I would drift into dreams while he was tending to me. Most of the dreams were with the Pharaoh of course, 'Girl quit it for now and focus.' I thought trying to keep from blushing.
"Oh Marik I'm sorry about this. If we hadn't left you wouldn't have to do this." I said with a sigh, and he smiled up at me.
"Ah it's ok really besides I got you something that may cheer you up." He said wrapping my arm up again, luckily my wounds were almost healed up by now.
"Oh nothing could cheer me up except to see the Pharaoh at least once Marik." He smirked an pulled out a amethyst stone on a gold chain from a bag he had with him. My heart skipped a beat when I realized the color was so beautiful.
"This was in the Pharaohs room and left one of your flowers on the table that it was on." I hugged him tight, trying to keep from cring for I knew that would alarm Bakura if he were to enter at that moment.
"Oh Marik thank you so much I love it. It reminds me of his eyes." I said and put it on.
"I thought you'd like Yuki. I hope you get better soon now that you're happy." I kissed his cheek.
"Oh Marik I'm so happy I could run all the way to palace." I said getting up and spun across the room. There was a knock and Bakura came in,
"Oh Bakura good morning." I said smiling but saw his eyes had caught the necklace. 'Oh great think of something you idiot or he's going to find out!' I thought but Marik covered for me,
"I got it for her thinking it might cheer her up since we haven't brought her any jewels lately." Marik piped up, and Bakura raised an eyebrow in question at me.
"Yes and you know how much I've missed going on raids Bakura, and I'm very glad Marik gave this too me." I said fingering the stone with a soft smile hoping that my smile would turn him away from prying questions.
"I'm glad that you're feeling happier sis. I hope this means that you'll be ready to go back out on raids soon." I smiled an hugged him tight, sighing a little out of relief knowing that he didn't notice anything.
"Don't worry brother I'll be out at night again real soon." He hugged me back then he and Marik left so I could change into something more comfortable. Since I was feeling better I knew they would want to train me to see if my skills had faltered during our stay here. I changed into an outfit that didn't cover my arms and legs very much so that I could have free movement. I ran out of my room and outside to where Bakura and Marik were waiting.
"You'll be practicing against Marik first then me. I don't want you to over exert yourself Yukihara all right. If you need a rest just say so." I nodded and Marik and I faced each other. Far away some one was staring at a tree in a garden, wondering where it's nightly visitor was right now.
xXx
Pharaoh:
"Pharaoh, are you alright?" I looked around to see Mahad had joined me in the gardens and I didn't even notice him.
"Yes I was just thinking Mahad." I said smiling but he knew better. He gave me a concerned look and sighed a little,
"Pharaoh you've come out every day and also stared at the tree at night while you go for your walks. Something about it is troubling you?" I sighed and sat on the nearest bench,
"You do know me to well Mahad. Yes I caught a glimpse of a girl watching me one night many months ago and saw her again every night, but for the past three weeks she's not been in the tree. I would like to have her show her self again soon." I said with a sigh, and Mahad smirked a little.
"Something tells me you have a small crush upon this mysterious girl. What if she turns out to be a thief or an assassin my Pharaoh?" I sighed again at the note in his voice and got up.
"I know I'll be careful but something tells me she would do anything to change her life as it is Mahad. She has never spoken a word but…I can feel it." I said and it was true. I could feel a sadness coming from the girl as she watched me, but yet a happiness as well. It is as if seeing me brings her a little joy each night, a joy that has evaded her for so long.
"I quiet understand Pharaoh, let us return indoors for dinner." I nodded and looked at the tree once more before following him inside.
xXx
Yukihara:
I felt a pang in my arm and from the necklace and stopped. My breathing was heavy from practice, but my chest tightened up with a ache of longing and sadness that was not my own. 'What the heck is going on? What was that I just felt...could that have been the Pharaoh and he's worried about me?' I thought as I came back to my senses to see Bakura and Marik.
"Yukihara?" Bakura asked nervously as he stood straight, and I had to think of something quickly.
"I think I'll take that rest now Bakura. I'm a little tired." He nodded and I headed off back to my room and held the necklace as I sat in my window seat. 'My that was close. I wonder if he truly cares about me and wants me to come back. Oh this is so cool!' I thought as I smiled and fell back against my pillows hoping that I was right and that when we did return to the village I could go see the Pharaoh again.
xXx
Bakura:
Yukihara went off to her room and Marik looked over with a slight smirk, I knew he'd be a smart ass right about now.
"Did you do something that might have hurt her arm?" I glared at him and he looked down, that'll teach him.
"Sorry never mind. I'll go check on her to see if she's ok." He said walking off back inside. I went to the nearby tree and sat in the shade.
"I hope she'll be ready to go out again tonight. Some much is riding on her." I said quietly to myself. I got up and went inside too and went to my own room. Marik popped his head in a little while later.
"How is she Marik?"
"Fine no extra damage has been done to her arm. She just felt a little lightheaded from being out in the sun to long." He said sitting down in a chair.
"That's good to hear. I think that we should go back to town soon, maybe tomorrow. I know it would do Yukihara good to see the town again." I said looking out the window, thinking of how to put things into motion.
"Are you thinking of putting the plan into place soon Bakura?" Marik said and I looked back at him.
"Yes I think we've waited long enough to put the plan in motion. True Yukihara did set us back a little but now that she's healed we can make our plan against the Pharaoh." Marik smirked and took the bottle of wine I had out.
"Let's drink to our plan then shall we." I smiled and took the goblet he held out for me. There was a knock,
"Come." I called out, and the door opened.
xXx
Yukihara:
Marik had come in to check on me and I told him that I had felt the feelings of the Pharaoh and he was interested, but left for he knew Bakura would be expecting him soon. He didn't want to get us in trouble and I was glad that I was able to talk to him about such things for I knew he'd never tell Bakura after he promised.
"I think I'll go check in on Bakura. He must still be worried about me." I said and headed down to his room. I stopped and pressed my ear to the door when I heard him and Marik talking quietly.
"Are you thinking of putting the plan into place soon Bakura?" Marik said, my mind stopped for a second.
"Yes I think we've waited long enough to put the plan in motion. True Yukihara did set us back a little but now that she's healed we can make our plan against the Pharaoh." My heart skipped a few beat at his last words. 'Plan against the Pharaoh, just what is Bakura up to?' I thought as I heard Marik again,
"Let's drink to our plan then shall we." I gathered my courage and knocked on the door, hoping that I could maybe get a little out of Bakura.
"Come." Bakura called and I opened the door. They both looked up at me as I came in,
"Ah Yukihara there you are Marik and I were just talking about you." Bakura said smiling a little, 'Yeah that I set some plan of yours off course, brother.' I thought to myself trying to look like I always did, and not show the little bit of anger that had flared up inside me.
"So are we going to be going back soon brother now that I'm better?" I asked closing the door and took an empty chair. Bakura smiled,
"Yes perhaps tomorrow night. What do you think Yuki?" I smiled,
"Oh that sounds wonderful Bakura I can't wait to sneak into my favorite houses and start stealing again." I said clapping my hands together and looked rather pleased about the idea of stealing again.
"Well then you better go get some sleep then and be ready to leave." Bakura said and I nodded and got up and went to the door. I stopped knowing this might be the only chance to get him to say anything about his plan if he indeed will let me in on it.
"Bakura I have this feeling…there's something going on that you're not telling me about." I said looking back at him and he seemed shocked, but recovered his normal face quickly.
"What makes you think that Yuki?" He said and I knew this was going to be harder then I thought.
"Well you and Marik are always together talking to each other but I never know what you're talking about. You're not going to get in trouble are you?" I asked giving him my puppy–eyed look, and he smiled.
"No Yuki I'm not going to get into trouble, and besides Marik and I have been friends for a long time. We enjoy sitting together an talking about the old days and other things like that." He stood up, put his drink down, and walked over and hugged me. "You have nothing to worry about sis, I promise." I wasn't much eased by this little speech but I knew better then to argue further, so I gave him a hug back and went off to my room. I changed into my nightclothes and flopped down on my bed holding the necklace tight. I sighed and closed my eyes. 'Shoot I thought that puppy-eyed look would work, but I hoped to much as usual.' I thought as sleep came over me.
xXx
Vision start: Someone walked along at night in a lovely garden, and they stopped to look at a tree in the garden. The moon came out from behind the clouds and illuminated the person. It was the Pharaoh on his nightly walk, and he walked straight up to the tree and placed his hand on it.

"Please if you come back I would like to jump down and show yourself to me. I've seen you many times and wish to ask why you come to watch me every night. I've enjoyed your company and will never stop thinking about you even if you do not come back Please just once I wish you will come and talk with me, I wish to find out why you are so sad all the time." He said and my heart sped up, and I could almost reach out and touch him since I was behind him.
"Pharaoh." I called out quietly, and he turned to look behind him at me but in that instance Marik shook me awake.
"Hey wake up Yuki." I opened my eyes and glared up at him, my hand outstretched slightly as if the Pharaoh had been right in front of me.
"What?" He asked looking confused, as I put my hand down.
"I was having a dream about the Pharaoh. He was wishing for me to show myself to him if I came back. I just called out to him and he turned to look at me as soon as you woke me up." I said with a sigh, I really wished Marik hadn't woken me up just yet. I would have liked to see what happened when the Pharaoh turned around.
"Sorry 'bout that Yuki. So that's why I heard you mutter 'Pharaoh' in your sleep. You're lucky I was the one who woke you and not Bakura. If he heard that he'd start questioning you." I sat up and punched him playfully on the arm, smirking a little.
"Yeah I know. So let's get going then shall we." I said and shooed him out the door so I could change.

Pharaoh:
I went out for my nightly walk and stopped to look at the tree where I glimpsed the girl who came every night. The moon came out from behind the clouds as I walked over to the tree and placed my hand on it. I hoped at least that I could feel something from it, but all I felt was the cool bark under my hand.
"Please if you come back I would like to jump down and show yourself to me. I've seen you many times and wish to ask why you come to watch me every night. I've enjoyed your company and will never stop thinking about you even if you don't come back Please just once I wish you will come and talk with me." I said with a soft sigh.
"Pharaoh." I heard someone whisper from behind me and turned quickly to see an outline of a girl wearing nightclothes and an amethyst necklace that was recently taken from my room before she vanished. 'What was that? Is she a ghost or was she dreaming and saw me in her dreams. Maybe I can trust Isis and tell her of this?' I thought as Mahad came out from behind a pillar.
"Pharaoh who was that just now? I saw her appear from nowhere. Was she a specter? " He said coming closer.
"I believe that was the mystery girl who was dreaming and came here in her dreams to see me. The reason she vanished must be because she woke up. I will talk with Isis about this to see if it's true." He nodded and we headed off to see Isis. 'I wonder how she was able to do such a thing. Can she have powers that help her, and if she does can she control them? I will have to ask her at some point.'
