Third chapter up! Hehe. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed so far! Please bear with me if I don't update every one or two days. It's hard to write a story and keep up with life at the same time! Anyways, enjoy!
But there's a voice inside my head saying...
About three weeks had passed since Miho met Bakura and everyday they played along the bank of the Nile, scaring birds, playing tag, or just talking in general about different things. Miho learned that Bakura had a deep hatred for anyone who was very rich, like the Pharaoh but she didn't let that bother her.
Today was just like any other day for Miho and Bakura until around mid day.
"Hey Bakura."
"Yeah Miho?"
Both children were sitting on the bank of the Nile after having made sure there were no crocodiles or hippos around. Miho looked over at her best friend with curious eyes.
"Who is your chosen God?"
Immediately Bakura tensed up, he was afraid of this question, afraid that she wouldn't want to be his friend anymore. Miho saw him tense up and felt bad right away.
"I am sorry Bakura! Y-you do not have to tell me if you do not want to...."
Bakura looked at her and smiled weakly.
"No it is OK Miho...I ummmm...m-my chosen God is....Set..."
Miho's indigo eyes seemed to almost pop out of her skull. Set?! God of the underworld?!
Bakura looked down at his feet, thinking that at any moment Miho would run from him in terror.
"Ok. Want to know my Goddess?!"
His head snapped up so quickly he almost gave himself whiplash.
"Wh-what?"
"I said. Do you want to know my Goddess?"
Now the white haired boy was confused.
"You are not afraid? You are not scared? Disgusted? Horrified? Anything?!"
Miho smiled at him.
"No! I mean sure...it is a little shocking but your my friend Bakura! I do not care who is your chosen God! Your not Set yourself. So...I am good!"
Miho kept smiling at Bakura and he turned his face away so Miho wouldn't see that his face had turned a bright red.
"S-so...ummm..who is your chosen Goddess?"
Miho jumped to her feet which surprised Bakura.
"I thought you would never ask! My chosen Goddess is Ma'at! Goddess of truth and justice!"
"Wow. That is so cool Miho! You are a lot like her..."
Now it was Miho's turn to blush.
"R-really? You think so?"
Bakura got to his feet as well and nodded.
"Mhm!"
They stood in silence for a few moments before Miho pointed out some Ibis and both children raced off to go and scare them.
The sun was setting when Miho and Bakura were approached by four adults. Miho instantly recognized her parents and ran to them but she didn't recognize the other two. The man had tanned skin and black hair with light lavender eyes and was very muscular, he wore brown shorts and a light green shirt. The woman had straight white hair down to her mid back and black eyes, she had a friendly smile on her face and had a slim build; she wore a light brown strapless top and a skirt that went to her knees. Miho was shocked when Bakura ran over to the two adults and hugged the woman. Sadiki broke the silence first.
"Miho, meet Tarik and Thema. These are Bakura's parents."
Miho smiled shyly and waved to them before hiding behind her mother. She was very shy when meeting new adults. She heard the woman laugh quietly and say something along the lines of 'Bakura was right, she is very cute.' with an embarrassed groan coming right after that.
The man named Tarik came over to them and shook Sadiki's hand.
"I am very glad that Bakura was able to meet your daughter. He has been so lonely lately, and she is quite a beauty too!"
Miho poked her face out from behind her mother and looked at the adults.
Thema spoke up next.
"Miho, Bakura. We have something that we would like to talk to you about."
Instantly both children began to panic inside.
'Ah! What did we do?!'
"Miho. Soon enough you are going to need to learn how to steal food on your own but your mother and I do not have the time to teach you. So we talked to Bakura's parents and they said it was OK for you to go to Cairo each day so he can teach you."
Miho looked surprised.
"Really?"
Masika nodded.
"Yes, really. Now it is a two hour walk to Cairo and another two back. Do you think you can handle it?"
Miho and Bakura looked at each other and smiled brightly.
"You bet!"
All four adults smiled brightly at the children.
"Wonderful! Now say goodbye to your cute friend Bakura!"
"Mother!!!!"
Bakura's face turned a scarlet red and Miho giggled.
"Bye Bakura!"
"Bye Miho!"
Sorry this chapter is kinda short. I had to rush a bit to get it done. Please don't kill me! Bye-bye! Flames will be doused by my water powers, persistent flamers will be pelted by hail.
