Chapter 9
An Assassin's Work is Never Done
~Blushes furiously~ omigosh! I was reading some of my earlier work and man was I a sucky writer! Oh thank god that my style of writing has matured! Whoo! Oh and I know Bastet priestesses weren't evil but I needed a goddess and priestesses who were associated with animals and especially cats. I am really sorry if this offends any of you very kind readers! Well enough of me babbling and more of the story!
A beam of moonlight fell across the sleeping being. Baatzu prowled in the dark quiet chamber towards the figure.
It went against her grain but instead of kicking the person awake she bent down to gently brush aside the unruly chestnut brown hair, she had grown fond of him over the last few days, but he did not stimulate her spirit like the handsome tri-coloured hair boy she tried to kill today.
She closed her eyes absently as she remembered the passionate kiss they shared, she sighed wistfully; there was something about him that she could not shake off.
Using her newly perfected shape-shifting powers she followed after him in the form of a white dog.
It was very hard to pull off since her first instinct is to shape-shift into a cat, but he and the people he traveled with would have recognised her in that appearance.
She sighed again as she repeated his name in her head that she picked up with her keen ears when the white haired boy was speaking to him after they had rejoined their friends
'Yami...' she thought longingly, but she was to kill him and ultimately she will do just that, she determined firmly.
Her job was to assassinate the possessors of Millennium Items, no matter how much a particular attractive boy stirs her soul.
Her attention was diverted back to the individual she was waking.
"mmmm?" Seto Kaiba murmured as he stretched awake, he blearily opened his azure eyes. He saw a figure outlined by the moonlight lean over him.
"Tenkh-Saan wishes that you grace her with your honourable presence" a smooth voice whispered kindly.
Seto smiled at the person who owned the kind-hearted soothing voice; over the last few days he had befriended the person who was at first encounter going to kill him.
He found that Baatzu was really actually kind-hearted and that the Bastet Priestesses bent her out of her true shape horribly. His heart broke when he realised what a crime had been done to her.
Seto pulled himself off the plush pillows he was sleeping on, and without another word she led him to Tenkh-Saan.
~FOUR HOURS LATER~
Baatzu lay wide-awake on her couch, Seto's screams drumming in her ears.
She squeezed her eyes shut as painful tears threatened to stain the extravagant material of her Egyptian bed.
'She did something awful to him.....' she thought as a tear of guilt rolled down a rosy cheek.
She felt guilty because she was betraying her master who resurrected her by thinking badly of her, also because she, Baatzu was the one who led Seto to Tenk-Saan earlier tonight, and last but not least because she was feeling...... closeness with Seto.
One of the major rules of being what she was; an assassin was to never feel affection for her victims or for her captives.
She sighed heavily, feeling ashamed; she broke that rule twice today.
Her thoughts drifted off the boy she attempted to kill earlier that day. Her curiosity heightened as she wondered why she felt....oh what was it?... companionship? Or was it more than that?
She experienced something odd when he kissed her, she did not know what it was. But all of a sudden the things that Tenkh-Saan and the others taught her felt....wrong.
Frustrated beyond belief Baatzu pulled herself up from the couch and quickly morphed into a white cat.
She picked her way daintily through the sleeping priestesses, careful not to wake them from their slumber.
When she found the entrance to the large underground temple, the little white cat shuddered once as it transformed into a pure white hawk.
The bird spread its silver wings, and swiftly took wing off into the darkness of the Egyptian night....
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Seto saw the slinky white cat sneak past his sleeping chamber.
A single lone tear slid down his cheek. A few hours earlier he was happily oblivious to his past, but now he was broken....he was broken because he was reminded of the horrible things he had once done.
He now finally understood, he now understood what Isis Ishtar was always trying to tell him.
Tonight he relearned everything. His head bowed in shame as he remembered.....
~FLASBACK~
She merely stared at him with her swirling light blue eyes, confusion and shock coloured them into a deep sparkling wine colour.
"What?" she said simply, not wanting to believe what had just been revealed to her.
Sethan confidently looked her in the eye with his sapphire ones
"I love you," he repeated without a blink.
She stared at him more, brilliant maroon eyes wide with dread and disbelief
"Why are you telling me this?" she whispered quietly, she was swaying slightly as she gripped the hilt of her silver hairbrush, so hard in fact that her knuckles were white.
"I am telling you this because, as the high priest I am allowed to marry where-areas a normal priest can't, and I chose to marry you" Sethan replied tenderly.
KaRaah's beautiful features twisted from dread to anger
"Sethan I am aware of the special privileges of a high priest, but why would you think I would accept your proposal? I love you differently than that though, I can't marry you," she hissed softly, her eyes flashing.
"Well then how do you feel about me?" he asked his heart sinking, she eyed him with her swirling now shimmering mauve eyes,
"I love you like the brother I never had, my protector for the seven years I knew you, I love you like my friend, but...." she trailed off as she looked down
"I don't love you like you want me too....." she ended quietly.
Sethan walked over to her and circled his arms around her trim waist; he rested his head on her slender shoulder
"You can come to love me over time...." He whispered into her ear kindly. She turned her head to him, her churning eyes full of apologies
"I can't...." she softly uttered back.
He sighed disappointed as he held her, he didn't want to do this but it looked like he had to if he wanted to have her as his wife
"You do know that I can marry you whether you want to or not. You are just a woman and you have no say as to who you marry....." he said
"I'll just have to coerce you into marriage" he finished simply. She turned her head to him, her bright fuchsia eyes narrowed in fury
"You wouldn't dare....." She murmured heatedly.
He gazed at her his handsome face impassable
"I'll do anything and everything possible to make you mine......" he hissed with intent into her ear.
She smiled slightly as her hands moved down to his arms that were encircling her slim hips; without warning she dug her nails into his skin
"Get out....." she whispered ominously.
Sethan gasped in pain as she dug deeper, he let go of her gladly.
He strode angrily to the entrance, when he reached it he turned to gaze at her
"You can't fight me KaRaah. You will be mine," he declared triumphantly, his cerulean eyes flashing.
She stared at him hurt that he would do this to her, her now green eyes glittering with un-shed tears,
"Just go...." she whispered her heart crushed. Without another word Sethan walked off.....
~END FLASHBACK~
Seto sat up as he remembered the memories that Tenkh-Saan forced him to relive with her twisted evil magic.
He felt extreme shame at what he had done in his past life.
A tear slid down his cheek as he recalled the cruel things he did for what he wanted and power; what he had done to his friends, to the people who were loyal to him, and especially to his love......
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!
Have a great new year!!!
