Falling for ever

Chapter 1

The Pharaoh the, the queen and the tomb robber

Dream

Two figures stood in the middle of a darkened room. One of them was a boy, about 15 or 16 at the most. He had sticking up, spiky, black hair, with red tips and blond high-lights running though it. The other, was a girl, a good two or three or four years older than the boy. Her jet black hair curled right down to her waist.

The room it's self was very large, with oil lamps burning and candles burning low, a bed in one corner and a sunken bath in another. There were no windows, just a large, heavy, wooden door in the wall farthest away from the boy and girl.

They had their arms wrapped around each other and were kissing passionately. The girl broke the kiss and started to run her lips up and down the boy's neck. A beautiful smile spread across his face as he struggled to contain a moan of pleasure.

"Oh. I love you my pharaoh." Murmur the girl.

"I love you too my queen." replied the boy, his voice barely above a whisper. "I will for ever more"

"Good." Hissed the girl, a malevolent glint in her eyes.

Without any warning at all, she suddenly pulled away from the young pharaoh, slapped his cheek, then punched and kicked him in the stomach, chest and back until he was on the ground.

Yami's p.o.v.

My head hit the ground with a loud thump that made me see stars. I looked up at Serena with disbelieving crimson eyes. She smirked down at me as she reached inside her robes.

When I saw what was gripped in her hand, I let out a terrible, terrified scream. The dagger flashed towards me.

I rolled to the side just in time. The blade drove it's self into a crack between two tiles on the floor, exactly were my face had been seconds before. The fact that the knife was in the ground didn't stop Serena, it only made her madder. Instead of trying to stab me, she lunged forward and wrapped her hands around my throat.

Now I finally started fighting back and managed to get her off me. I started screaming again, utterly petrified. My screams were barley audible above her deafening shout of:

"Kill him! Kill him now!"

The door burst open and the wall leading to out side was smashed to pieces. Hordes of worrier ninjas stormed the room. 100 swords flashed in my direction. I somehow managed to dodge the main blows to my face and chest but several blades still cut my stomach legs and back.

In my pain, I heard myself call out to the first two people that came to my mind.

"Jono! Seth! Please help me!"

I don't know why I said it. I didn't expect them to actually come. I honestly believed that I was going to die. But I was wrong.

I didn't notice them at first because I was fighting against a gang of deadly assassins. I'd been able to knock out about ten of them, when a group of four grabbed me from behind.

It was horrible! There was one of them on each of my arms and another two gripping my waist. For a moment it was just those four. But then the one who I later found out was the leader of the group decided to join in. He slipped one arm around my neck, and drove his fingers into my hair. He used the hand holding my hair to wrench my head back so he could look into my eyes. He spat some insult at me that I've totally blanked from my memory. Then he forced my head forward again.

Whilst all this was going on, the other soldiers were circling round us laughing at every thing. Then that traitor Serena, the girl who broke my heart, stepped forward smirking. She said six simple words. Those six words shattered my heart.

"You're going to die now pharaoh."

With that said, she stepped behind the solders again. Then one of them charged at me, with his sword drawn. Seeing this I gasped and shut my eyes tight, waiting for the death blow. But it never came. I heard the ninja stop, could feel his breath on my face, feel the wind created as he raised the sword to its fullest height.

But then…

"YAMI!!!!!NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

I thank Ra for Jono every day now. His cry startled my attackers so much that they stopped. He's the only reason I lived! When I opened my eyes, I only had a split seconds view of the solider with his sword raised before Seth jumped him from behind. Then all hell broke loose.

When we work together, me Jono and Seth are a damn near unstoppable team. It was only when we had knocked out well over half of them that I realised I had lost sight of Serena, and even then I didn't worry about it. I finished the ten I was battling with and looked around. Jono and Seth were both taking on five each. Those were the only ones left.

I watched as the last solders dropped, and Jono ran to help Seth who was bleeding badly from a cut on his forehead. As soon as the final warrior fell, I rushed to my friend's side. Seth's clothes were ripped so much that they were literally hanging off him. Any other time in the world and it would have been utterly hilarious. He looked such a sight! But then again, we all did. We were all soaked in blood, not just our own, and our clothes were torn. In fact, someone had ripped my shirt right off my back at one point and I hadn't noticed until then.

Jono and Seth were, as usual, busy arguing. I hadn't really been listening, but from what I could make out, Seth had, once again, called Jono a mutt.

"I am NOT a dog!"

"Oh yes you are!"

"Oh no I'm not!"

"Yes you are!"

"No I'm not!"

"You are."

"I'm not."

"You are"

"Not…"

"Are…"

"Not…

And it just went on and on. Honestly! Their as bad as little girls! They could keep up one of those conversations for hours they could. My thoughts were cut off when I heard my best friend shout for all he was worth:

"I AM NOT!!!!!!!!"

Silence. Until…

"But you are."

And they were off again. I grinned and shook my head.

"Tragic. Isn't it?" hissed a cool female voice in my ear. Before I could react, I felt a hand clamp over my mouth to stop me from screaming and arms wrap round me to stop me from struggling.

"Bad Pharaoh!" Hissed the voice again, this time followed by a sharp, stinging bite on the side of my neck. I gasped in shock and pain. It's a wonder that Jono and Seth stopped arguing long enough to hear me, especially as I had a hand over my mouth. Jono was, again, the first to shout.

"Yami!"

Seth jumped to his feet to shout too. "Hey! Let him go you creep!"

They both started to charge forward but stopped in their tracks. Their eyes widened in fear but I couldn't figure out why. Then I felt cold metal press against the bite mark on my neck and my eyes widened in fear too.

"You take one more step…" Purred Serena "Just one more…and Pharaoh Yami will never breathe again!"

Jono let out a hiss of anger.

"Oh Jono!" Chuckled Serena "It sounds like you don't like this much! I hope you're not thinking of stopping me?"

I was suddenly in unbelievable pain. Jono and Seth both cried out as the blade cut into my chest and dug itself deep under my skin before trailing down across my stomach.

I can still remember Serena's laughter as she forced the dagger in as far as it would go, twisted it a little, then yanked it back out again.

She started to make more cuts on my chest, back and arms, enjoying watching my blood flow. The red liquid began to drip over her hand. She moved the dagger to her over hand so she could continue to threaten me and lick her fingers clean at the same time.

If I hadn't done what I did next, I doubt I would have been alive next morning. I stamped down on her foot with all the strength left in me.

She was so shocked, that she dropped her weapon and let me go. I don't think that me, Jono and Seth have ever moved so fast in our entire existence. The three of us sped out of the room and down the corridor, screaming for the guards to come al the time. O.K, O.K! That's a bit of a lie. I'd collapsed the second Serena had released me. Seth, who was the oldest out of us, had picked me up and carried me in his arms. With me nearly fainting from blood loss, it really can't have been a very pleasant experience. Jono was the one doing all shouting. He sprinted ahead, shrieking blue murder that 'the queen was a traitor, and she'd tried to massacre the Pharaoh.' (And here's me thinking he couldn't even pronounce massacre.)

Anyway, when the gauds finally appeared, we all went charging back into the room where Serena was. Only she wasn't. She'd slipped away like a little ghost, taking the leader of the group with her. She had left us a little message though. Seth came in after the gauds, saw what was written on the wall, and was very nearly sick. He quickly got over his first shock and sprinted to stand in the doorway, refusing to let Jono come in. Seth is so weird like that. He acts like doesn't care most of the time, but he does. He handed me over to Jono.

"Take him to the healer right now!" he snapped. "I'll be come in a minute just go!" Jono took me in his arms but then just stared at Seth with his mouth open, unable to believe that Seth actually cared.

"Go on!" Ordered Seth. "Get going mutt! Oh and…" He reached out to wipe a thin trail of blood from Jono's lip "Get your self sorted out while you're at it." Jono did as he was told. He didn't even argue about being called a mutt. By this time I think he'd cottoned-on to the fact that there was something in the room Seth didn't want us to see. But I'd already seen.

I can't tell you some of what was written on the wall, but the most disturbing bit of all was in hieroglyphics. It read: 'You said for ever more'. Then drawn in blood, my blood was a dripping, red love heart.

End of dream

I had a brief flash of consciousness. I was in water. Not floating, swimming. The water around me was turning red from blood. Now I knew that it was my blood but that wasn't what was bothering me. What I was scared of was the fact that I wasn't the one controlling my body! My mind started to fade into darkness and one last thought crossed my mind.

"Bakura, please."

Normal p.o.v.

"Bakura, please."

The white haired tomb robber sat bolt upright.

"Oh my Ra." He whispered. A clap of thunder from outside shocked him out of his daze.

"Don't worry Yami." He muttered"I'm coming."

He kicked his legs off the bed and forced his feet into the shoes he'd left out the night before.

He was already fully dressed. He was almost getting used to this whole getting-up-in-the-middle-of-the-nighit-and-going-dashing-off-to-find-the-pharaoh thing. He tiptoed as quickly and quietly as possible out of the house, shut the door behind him and then tore down the road at top speed.

Images were being relayed into his mind as he ran. Yami was near water, but with the river running right through Domino to the sea, he could be almost anywhere. But there was also a small wooden foot bridge and a path with oak trees on ever side. Bakura only knew one place like that. He just hoped Yami was there.

After five minuets that seemed more like five years, he reached the park. He raced down the path so fast that if anyone had been watching, they would have only seen a blur. When he finally arrived at the bridge over the river however, he skidded to an instant stop.

The water was turning crimson; the bank was being drenched not only in water but also blood. And lying there in the dirt and sandy mud, arms and legs spread out on each side was…

"Oh no!"
