Chapter 2- Why?

The tomb robber was very confused. Who in the world would not accept such money for a measly little girl? He was about to ask for another amount of money for the girl but Bakura had proved that he would not sell.

Later on both Ayena and Bakura walked out of the now closed cave, and Ayena gave him a few glances until she finally had the courage to ask him her question. " Bakura, why the heck didn't you accept the money?" Ayena asked with a very loud accent on the word 'money.'

Bakura just gave a fake shrug and smiled to himself, this was all going exactly like he planned. Ayena was quite curious but he would be able to control her in due time.

Bakura and Ayena walked over to a tree and he sat down for a quick rest. Ayena climbed up the tree and dropped an apple down, which accurately hit Bakura's head.

" Sorry, Aku!" Ayena shouted from up the tree as she grabbed a few more apples. Bakura glared and joined her, he pulled her down and asked her about this 'Aku' thing.

Ayena laughed and told Bakura that his name sounded too evil so it would be pleasant to change it a tad. Bakura yelled at her and knowingly he yelled back at him. Both of them then sat on opposite sides of the tree and didn't speak.

Ayena felt the smooth bark of the apple tree and closed her eyes. She remembered long ago of a saying her father had told her about. The words went like this.

The trees bloom in spring, You shall bloom in the full moon.

The sun will point to the one who will seize you, The moon will predict your death.

Light is close, But darkness is closer.

You shall be controlled and your power used, The one who controls you is near but don't fear, Al will disappear with your soul.

You shall claim the darkness and steal the light, Furthermore you, shall be the new queen of the world below.

Ayena finished the saying and looked up at the apple, which shone so lightly in her hand. She dropped it and watched it roll over a dead leaf. Suddenly Ayena was taken over by a cold feeling. She covered herself with her arms and sighed. Bakura on the other hand was thinking of the next plot to steal the treasures of Egypt. He thought of attacking the recently dead pharaoh first. Bakura had listened to everything that Ayena was murmuring about and in a way, he felt a twinge of guilt.

Bakura walked over to her and told her to go get all the apples and carry them, while he led the way. Ayena scowled at him and obediently picked up all the apples, while muttering about killing Bakura.

Bakura glanced off and found himself looking at a guard. He gulped slowly and moved one step back. Ayena walked over to Bakura and stared at the soldiers who were now surrounding both of them.

Ayena took an apple and threw it at the closest one as she grabbed Bakura's sleeve and hurled him off his feet. She ran as fast as she could but soon she heard the soldiers bark out orders to get their arrows ready. Ayena stopped and turned as some strands of her red hair hit her pale face.

Bakura took out his millennium ring but it was all useless, there were no duel monster stones around, so he could not summon any of them. Ayena sighed, it was time for her mysterious power to wake up and start some damage again.

Bakura moved back from Ayena and watched her in wonderment, her hair had turned black and her eyes had turned brown, her dress went from white to grey and she stood there with a golden arrow in her hands.

" One move and you all shall die." She said in a very dangerous voice, which made Bakura's skin feel very cold. Her voice had also changed immensely from a soft whisper to a loud and firm voice, as though she had stolen the voice of Horus herself.

The soldiers didn't even flinch but they did have a very scared expression in each of their faces. " Don't listen to her, she is only a measly girl with one bow!" Screamed the head soldier as he gave confidence to the others.

" Watch then." Ayena said mockingly. She raised her golden arrow, which reflected the sun's rays high above her, and pointed at a bird flying several feet high. The bird was surrounded by eight more of its kind on either side. Ayena shot the arrow and it flew high and to everyone's surprise the golden arrow split into eight and killed each of the birds with one left.

The one bird watched sadly as its companions flew down and crashed into the endless stream of green. Ayena put her arrow down and watched as the soldiers retreated. Bakura waited until she had looked her normal self again before he started speaking.

" How did you do that?" He asked, determined to get a straight answer from her.

" Firgure it out, tomb robber." Ayena replied as she lunged towards the fallen apples and cleaned all of them. She took one that was as red as her hair and she started walking north. Bakura glared at her and walked beside her.

Both figures walked towards the cave, which was still closed. " Say the magic word and you have the might." Bellowed Bakura as the rock moved over and an endless tunnel appeared.

Both Bakura and Ayena entered and Bakura led her towards her room. It was not much of a room at all, it was about 5 meters in length and 4 in width. There was a bed at the corner and a drawer to her left. Ayena moved over to the bed and smoothed it out as she glanced out the window.

It wasn't much of a window but it let her observe what the other tomb robbers were doing, she watched a poor servant girl being pulled and made to ha out the food, she had brown braided hair and was close in tears. That was it for Ayena, she stood up and skittered over the now, open window. She pulled the blond tomb robber's and away from the girl and took her to her room.

The blond haired robber marched right over to Ayena and screamed at her, as you should know, she screamed back. The tomb robber then punched her in her stomach and she went down to her knees with her head held down.

Then, all of a sudden, Ayena felt a rush of wind in the air, the tomb robber had tried to kill her with a dagger but now he lay there, dead.

Ayena looked back and found Bakura holding a bow, ready to let another arrow fly if a movement of stirring was noticed. She looked at him, with eyes wide as she tried to explain the situation. Bakura grabbed her wrist and pulled her away.

Ayena tried to resist but her sacred power would not show up and Bakura was too strong so she followed him unwillingly. Bakura threw her on his bed and she sat there with her hands clasped together.

Bakura was now sitting in a chair with a whip. Ayena eyed the whip curiously, was he going to go and whip the animals again? Bakura sighed and he moved closer to Ayena, Ayena was still very confused of what was happening.

Bakura raised the whip and it landed with a 'whap' right across Ayena's cheek. Ayena felt her cheek burn like crazy but nothing escaped her mouth. Bakura groaned and threw the whip away.

Bakura's POV

Why did I just do that? Having her hurt for my final plan will never do. She ahs to be in good health but if I did not whip her at least once than the other tomb robbers would surely get angry about me, killing Turon.

She is more valuable for my plans than that idiot, so I do not regret all this but if she causes more trouble. I can not guarantee her safety around this place.

End Of POV

Bakura walked out and than Ayena felt how badly her cheek was burning, she had to get some water quick. Ayena ran towards the underground river, she went down on one knee and washed her face, as she stood at the edge of the rock.

Ayena stood up, and as she did, she slipped and moved further down the edge of the slippery rock. Ayena almost fell down but she found a hand holding hers, the hand pulled her up and way from the rock.

The girl who the blond haired robber had hurt looked even prettier close up. She had luminous green eyes, her hair shone like a raven's feathers and her skin was as pretty as hers.

" Hey, my name is Nila, I'd like to thank you for helping me out there, I am really sorry if I caused you trouble!" That was all she said before she ran away without waiting for Ayena's reply.

Ayena struggled to walk towards her own room. She pulled the covers over her body and though for a while. She could have been killed at least 4 times but thanks to, Bakura, her powers and Nila, she had survived.

She thanked the gods and her mother, Isis, for helping her in her hard times. These were the last of her thoughts as she fell into darkness.
