Nubia's POV

I had gone back to my room since I didn't feel like going back to the healers. They some times make a fuss over the smallest of injuries. I know my injury isn't small, but I can't just sit there. Things need to be done.

"Nubia, what are you doing here?"

I turned around to face Ahkmenrah. "This is my room too."

"I know. I meant why aren't you in the healer's room?"

"I sent a letter to my father explaining what has happened and asked if he would send som of his soldiers over. I know that they will be loyal to us."

Ahkmenrah sighed as he sat on the bed. "Well, that's good."

"What's wrong?"

"I went to talk to the two soldiers. Kahmunrah is creating an army to rise against me. Some people he is gathering believe that my brother is the rightful ruler. Others they were promised something for their aligiance."

"What were they promised?"

"Eternal life."

"How could Kahmunrah promise such a thing?"

"He means to use the tablet, but I doubt he will give the soliers eternal life."

I looked at the golden tablet that was hanging on the wall above the bed. I had forgotten about that.

"Don't worry, we'll deal with Kahmunrah together. He won't complete his plan."

"Maybe, but you need to get better. Don't think I haven't noticed your pain."

"I refuse to go back to the healers."

"You don't have to stay there, but please let them help heal your wounds."

I sighed. "Fine."

Ahkmenrah smiled. "Thank you."

A few weeks had passed and I was feeling much better. My back no longer hurt and the gashes were healing well. Kahmunrah hadn't been seen or heard from since my kidnapping. Ahkmenrah had sent a few soldiers he knew were loyal to him out looking for Kahmunrah, but each time they didn't find him. I wonder where he is.

I was also wondering about Bakura. I hadn't seen him in awhile and I was getting worried. I hope he's all right.

At the moment Ahkmenrah was out stopping more uprisings. It seems that's happening more and more. I had just gotten done helping some people in the city with their problems when one of the soldiers came up to me.

"My Queen, this just arrived for you." He hnded me a letter.

"Thanks you."

I looked at the letter and saw it was from my father. I opened it and couldn't believe what I read. Ahkmenrah had to know about this. He was in another town over so I will have to wait for tonight when he comes back.

I went out to my garden so I could be alone with my thoughts. I can't believe what's happening. How did things get like this?

I just finished watering the flowers when I heard a noise. I looked around, but no one was there.

"You better come out. I know you're there."

"It's good to know you haven't lost your atittude."

I smile as I saw Bakura. I ran up and hugged him. "Bakura, I was getting worried about you."

"No need to worry about me." He said as he pushed me away. "I know how to take care of myself."

I looked at him with confusion. "Kura, what's wrong?"

"I told you not to call me that." He snapped.

I took a step back. "Sorry."

"No, I'm sorry. It's been chaotic these past few weeks. I came to see how you're feeling."

"I'm feeling better. What have you been doing?"

"Spying on Kahmunrah's soldiers. He is gathering more followers." As Bakura spoke he was looking everywhere except at me. What is going on?

"That's not all you've been doing."

"Don't Nubia."

"Don't what?"

"Don't try and figure out what I've been doing. It will only lead to trouble."

"Why?"

"I only came to see how you were doing. Now that I have I have somewhere to be." Then he walked away.

"Bakura wait." I followed him around one of the pillars, but what I saw stopped me in y tracks. Bakura had snapped his fingers and disappeared. How did he do that? What is going on?

For the rest of the day I couldn't stop thinking about Bakura. Now I knew how he was getting into the palace without being seen, but how is he doing it? Next time I see him I will get answers one way or another.

It was late by the time Ahkmenrah came back. I was tired, but this was urgent. He was surprised when he saw me still awake.

"I thought you would be sleeping." He said as he sat on the bed.

"I have important news. I received a letter from my father today. Kahmunrah is there."

"You're father isn't taking his side, is he?"

"Apparently your brother is a good liar. My father said that I must have been so scared that I wasn't seeing straight. Kahmunrah would never do such a cruel thing."

Ahkmenrah clenched his fist. "I can't believe my brother."

I put my hand on his and he relaxed. "We'll get through this. I think it's time that I visit my home."

"I will go with you."

"Shouldn't one of us stay here to keep an eye on things?"

Ahkmenrah sighed. "You are right."

I kissed him. "Don't worry. I'll be fine."

"I can't help but worry about you especially since Kahmunrah is there."

I smiled. "I'll be fine I promise. And if he tries anything I'll just punch him again."

Ahkmenrah laughed. "Well, even though I know you can handle yourself I still worry. Now I think it is time for sleep. It's late." He kissed me then we both laid in the bed and drifted off to sleep.

Sorry this one is kinda short. I promise the next one will be longer. I hope you still enjoyed this one and I promise you will love the next chapter. ^_^
