Chapter 4: No Matter Where You Are….
"Uhm… Bakura, can we start traveling tomorrow?"
Bakura looked at Ryou's uneasy expression and thought /Ryou seems to be troubled by something. I wonder what's wrong with him…/
"Why? Is there anything wrong?" Bakura asked Ryou with concern in his tone.
"Can we just stay in this town a little while more?" Ryou eyes saddened.
"Like I said, WHY??" Bakura was starting to get irritated as Ryou didn't answer his question.
"Because… I hope to travel when you are feeling better. I am worried about your health." ((That's actually part of the reason only. The slave traders will be waiting for me here tonight. I can't leave this place!!!))
"Oh… so that's what's troubling you? Never mind about that, I am feeling much better already. We can start traveling. You know, we were already delayed because of the fever I had earlier, I don't wish to have any more delays during our journey."
"Please… Bakura!!" Ryou gave Bakura his best puppy eyes, pleading and hoping that Bakura would agree. Bakura blushed when he saw those eyes of Ryou. "Argh.... fine!! Just one more day, understand?"
"Thank you Bakura!!!" Ryou smiled happily at Bakura.
/ I just can't stand it when Ryou gives me that look. It's so cute when he pleads and smiles!!! But… why does he want to stay here?/
Bakura was pulled out from his thoughts when Ryou called him. "Look, Bakura… there is a market not too far away. Let's go to it," Ryou looked at Bakura, unsure of what he would say as he softly asked him, "Can we go there Bakura?"
"Market…? Sure!!" They made their way towards the market and soon were walking through the different shops. Bakura saw a shop selling fabrics, clothes…. Something stroked his mind. (Hehe… Bakura is up to something.)
"I'm hungry. Cook something for me to eat." Bakura ordered as if he were ordering a servant around. "Speaking of that, I am hungry too!!" Ryou looked around and said, "Bakura… I will go and buy the ingredients. Wait for me right here!!" Ryou gave Bakura a wave and ran to buy the ingredients. Bakura then walked slowly to the shop nearby looking for something to buy.
In the shop, there was an old woman sitting at a corner. She smiled and winked at Bakura. "Young handsome lad, can I help you?" Bakura raised an eyebrow and looked disgusted at the old woman. / … urggghh, did she just wink at me? Yuck… It's so disgusting. She looks more disgusting than my grandmother who has passed away. Of course, my grandmother was much prettier than her. I didn't like my grandmother but this woman is even worse than her. She looks like a witch. Yuck…. I feel so disgusted!! But I guess… I will have to bear for it for the time being./
Slowly recovering from his disgust and shock, Bakura said, "I… I need to buy some clothes." He quickly regained his cool and started looking at all the clothes. After glancing at the clothes in the shop, Bakura finally found what he was looking for. He chose a black robe with sparkling glitter threads embroidered in it. Bakura smiled and looked satisfied with what he had chosen. /Ah ha!! This will do, it will definitely look nice. Haha… I have such good taste in clothes./
(Ya… as if!!! You are so arrogant… hehe!! But it's the truth!!)
"Ok, I will take this." Bakura handed the old woman the money. "Oh… young handsome boy, you have a very good taste." The old woman took the money and was at the same time caressing Bakura's hand. Bakura felt the touch and thought, /Yeeee….Get your stinky hand off of me!!! What are you trying to do? Molest me?? I know I am handsome!!! But I warned you, better don't provoke me. I don't like scolding women. There is limit to my patience. Don't push your luck!!! Oh dear… I can't stand it!!! Every time I look at that UGLY and DISGUSTING face of yours, I feel like vomiting./
(Can someone please take her away? She is molesting my Bakura!!!!!)
"This is the best robe I have in my shop." The old woman continued to caress Bakura's smooth skin but Bakura who still held his patience, did not jerk the old woman's hand away. /Hmph…Bragging?!!! Ya… it's me!! It's me who has good taste, not you disgusting old hag!! NOT YOU!!!!/
"Do you want some other clothes? I can choose for you." The old woman said in a very seducing way, she winked at Bakura and circled her hand around Bakura's. /Ohhhh…. Gross!!! She is giving me goosebumps!!! Ohhhh…. my poor little hand... when can I have it back? Argh… I can't stand it anymore!!! This is over my limit. Do you think I will still tolerate this? NEVER!!!!!/
"AH…. SHUT UP YOU DISGUSTING OLD HAG!!!! I've had enough of you!!! Here's the money!!! And last…. can I have my hand back?" The old woman was shocked by Bakura's sudden outburst and immediately let go of his hand.
"Hmph…" Bakura glared at the old woman and walked out of the creepy shop.
Bakura hurried back to see if Ryou had finished buying the groceries. He saw Ryou waiting at the corner as Ryou asked him, "Where did you go Bakura?" Bakura quickly hid the robe he had just bought behind his back. "Hm… nothing, just looking around." Bakura looked down at the robe and back up at Ryou, / that old woman, she really gave me the creeps. Hmph… you owe me big time!!! I went through hell just to get this robe. Tell me, for who? FOR WHO?? But…/ Bakura look at Ryou who was walking in front of him and smiled, / it's only for you./
After they had finished eating, Bakura felt like eating some fruit. (Well, it is good for digestion.) He was eating some peanuts while talking at the same time. "G-o and ge-t me som-e ba-na-nas… Ryou."
((Uhm… Pa-pa-yas? Papayas?)) "Ok!! I will be back soon." Ryou hurried back with some slides of papayas in his hands. (Bananas and Papayas…? Well, it does sort of sound similar right?)
"Here… Bakura, I have bought them." "What? What are these?" Bakura was shocked to see some slides of papayas in plastic bags, on Ryou's hands. "Hm…What do you mean what are there? These are papayas." (Haha… Did they have plastic bags back in Egypt? SI: no, but I don't know what they did use to carry their goods around…)
"You fool, I know these are papayas, but why did you buy them?"
"What? I thought you want to eat papayas?" Ryou asked innocently. "What? When did I say I wanted to eat papayas?" Bakura looked confused while Ryou defended himself by saying, "But I heard papayas." Ryou pouted and he noticed the pack of peanuts that was in Bakura's hand. "Oh… I see. I know what went wrong."
"What went wrong?" Bakura said angrily. Ryou quickly snatched the pack of peanuts from Bakura.
"Bakura, listen carefully to what I am about to say."
"Ok…" Bakura said in an emotionless tone. Ryou started eating the packet of peanuts he snatched from Bakura. "Hey, why did you eat my peanuts?"
"Shiiiii…" Ryou lift up his index finger and place it at his lips. Bakura blushed at what Ryou had just done.
After a while, Ryou spoke with his mouth full of peanuts.
"G-o and ge-t me so-me ba-na-nas. What did you hear? Bakura…?"
"G-o and ge-t me so-me pa-pa-yas. Hm… Papayas?" Bakura opened his eyes wide at what he had just heard. Bakura looked at Ryou like he was struck by lightning. But Ryou only smiled back sweetly. After about 3 seconds, the both of them laughed at the same time. "Hahahaha…. I get it now!!!" Bakura laughed at how stupid it was to have mistaken a banana for a papaya. "Bakura, don't ever eat and speak at the same time, understand?" (Wow… Ryou is nagging again.)
"Hahaha… yes. Mother!!" Bakura laughed so hard that he hit the tree standing beside him. Bakura couldn't help but keep on laughing out loud like an insane person at Ryou's nagging. "Who are you calling 'mother'?" Ryou lifted an eyebrow at Bakura.
"Haha… because… you nag just like a mother." Ryou saw that Bakura was laughing insanely and put his hand on his face ((ah… forget about that stupid guy.)) Ryou sat down and looked at Bakura who was still laughing insanely, and smiled.
During the night, Ryou pretended to fall asleep and waited for Bakura to doze off. When Ryou noticed that Bakura was asleep, he walked closer to the sleeping boy. Ryou bent down and looked at Bakura, he gently touched his face. "Sorry, Bakura… sniff But I have to leave now…." Tears were flowing from his eyes down his cheeks. He wiped them away with his hand and continued.
"Bye … Bakura." Ryou quickly ran away and headed towards the place where he promised to meet the slave traders. (Ryou's strong, isn't he?) The distance between the market to the place where the slave traders were, wasn't too great. Ryou reached the location in a few minutes. Ryou saw that the slave traders were already there, waiting for him in a lit house.
"You are slightly late, but luckily you didn't run away."
"Of course, I never break my promise!!" Ryou was serious, he didn't break his promise. "Ya!! Whatever. For this, I've got to admit that you are brave. By the way, my name is Sadoi. These two over here are Uki and Tjun."
Ryou eyes narrowed and he clutched his fists, "What do you want from me?" "Hehe… What do we want?" Sadoi smirked. "Uki, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Oh yes!! Sadoi." The slave traders looked at Ryou lustfully and scanned Ryou's body up and down. "We…? We want you." Uki started to walk closer to Ryou and pulled him into the house, locking the door behind him.
"What do you mean 'you want me'?" Ryou opened his eyes wide. He was shocked at what Uki had just said. Ryou knew something bad was going to happen. "Don't you get it?" Uki grinned slightly. "Hehe… Never mind, I will show you what it means." Sadoi grabbed Ryou's hand and pushed him on the ground. "Let me go!!" Ryou shouted and quickly pushed Sadoi off of him. He quickly scrambled back onto his feet.
"Oh no, you don't." The other two slave traders pushed Ryou back down onto the ground and held his hands and legs. "Let go off me, let me go!!" Ryou screamed. Sadoi climbed back onto Ryou and gave him a slap. "Shut up you little bastard. Damn you!! How dare you push me!!" Ryou was very scared by now, his cheeks were swollen. Ryou struggled hard, trying to escape from them.
"Uki, Tjun, hold this bastard tight. Don't let him escape." Tjun, who was holding Ryou's legs, suddenly touched Ryou's thighs. "Ah-hhh" Ryou blushed and screamed. Ryou kicked Tjun's chest hard. "Don't touch me!!!" Ryou shouted loudly.
"What…? You little bastard!!! Damn it!! I will make you pay for what you have done to me after Sadoi finishes with you." Sadoi smirked at Ryou, giving Ryou the creeps. Then, Sadoi tore Ryou's clothes. "No… please don't!!!" Sadoi licked his way down Ryou's neck, his red hot tongue feeling Ryou's entire neck. "Hm… Ah-hhh" Ryou's face was flushed and he moaned softly. Sadoi loved it when his prey moaned; it gave him a very high sexual satisfaction, like wanting to do even 'more' with him. "Help!! Anyone? Save me… " Ryou cried, tears flowing from his eyes. "Ahhhhhh" ((Anyone? Why…? Isn't there anyone? Help, please save me!!!))
"Haha… No!!! No one will save you. Give up, kid." Sadoi smirked.
"Help!! Help me… BAKURA!!" Ryou cried. He screamed Bakura's name as loud as he could. Footsteps of a person could be heard coming from outside heading towards the house. A shadow formed at the corner and someone was standing there. Ryou eyes were filled with tears; he couldn't see clearly who it was.
The mysterious guy kicked the door open in a rough manner. He lifted his hand and placed it against the wall beside him.
"Did you just call me? My princess? "
