Hotaru: *bows* hello, how are you doing today?
Yami Bakura: *yawn* what are you talking about now?!
Hotaru: hmm? Oh well um, I'm not exactly sure.
Yami Bakura: okay then
Hotaru: why are you so mean to me?!
Yami Bakura: because its fun!
Hotaru: *growls and kicks Bakura in the shins* knock it off!
Yami Bakura: *limps away*
Hotaru: *stretches and yawns* well let's go Yami, please say the disclaimer.
Yami: |-) ZZZzzzZZZzzzZZZzzz.
Hotaru: *sighs* never mind! Disclaimer, I don't own anything. Okay? Okay. Story time now!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Seto was uncomfortable, unhappy, and lightly scared. He wanted to get out of this but Yami wouldn't let him. Atsu looked over at the High Priest and scoffed. 'No way will this guy go through with it. He's in love with her' he thought to himself. They walked into Safiya's room to find it practically empty. The only thing in it was a black cat. Atsu looked at Seto.
"Does she have a cat?" he asked
"Yes" Seto answered. The cat looked at them and lay down on the bed. But its eyes never wavered, always followed them. They walked over to a candle that was next to the bed. Atsu picked it up and put another candle in its place.
"When she lights that candle the air will be poisoned and she'll be dead in no time" Atsu said. The cat meowed and Seto petted it. The cat rubbed up against him then jumped to one of his shoulders. Seto looked at it and smiled.
"It's a beautiful creature. I must admit that" Seto muttered as it curled its tail under his chin. It meowed loudly and hopped onto the bed. It walked over to the candle and picked it up in its mouth.
"Put that down" Atsu snapped. The cat sprang off the bed and ran out into the hallway. Seto and Atsu followed it but as soon as they got into the hallway they saw the cat on Safiya's shoulder and the candle in her hand.
"Trying to get rid of me?" she asked. The way she sounded she was even mildly amused.
"I don't know what you mean" Atsu said, taken aback. She rolled her eyes and looked at Seto.
"And you Seto?" She asked. He kept trying to look her in the eyes but he couldn't. "As I thought." She purred.
"Safiya-I-" Seto muttered before she stopped him.
"Enough, today's events need no interpretations. But do you know who was amongst the soldiers out there?" She asked. They both shook their heads. "Kaphiri."
"Your husband?" Seto asked. She nodded.
"He wants, no, demands I come home immediately. And so I am." She sounded a little depressed now. She tossed the candle to Atsu and walked past them and into her room. She started collecting her things and sighed. "So save your poisons for another girl." Atsu growled. If she had to leave then his job was finished, and he didn't want to leave. So he pulled out some rope and grabbed her wrists.
"Just sit still" he whispered as he tied her wrists behind her back. He threw a necklace with a talisman around her neck and covered her mouth with his hand.
"What are you doing?!" Seto asked.
"You want her to stay, right?" Atsu asked. Seto Nodded "then help me get her out of here. If Yami or Kaphiri sees us they'll send her away. Get her into slave's clothes and toss this over her. Then meet me out in the streets. I have a friend who can watch her." With that said he walked out of the room.
"Leave me the hell alone!" Safiya yelled. Seto, fearing discovery, tied a piece of cloth around her mouth to silence her.
"This is for your own good."
*~*~* in the streets *~*~*
Atsu walked through the crowded streets and stopped at a merchant's shop. But this wasn't just any merchant's shop but Malik's. Malik looked at him and nodded.
"Hey Bakura, your friend is here." Malik called. Bakura walked out from behind the back curtain.
"Atsu, any good news?" He asked
"Heh, she's still as fiery as ever but she's all yours" Atsu answered. Bakura smiled evilly. "But hey, don't take that talisman Necklace off. It's the only thing keeping her fully human. Even the gods are blind to her now." Bakura nodded and looked over at Malik.
"You get to meet a real goddess" He said to Malik.
"I feel so honored now" Malik replied sarcastically.
"Make good use of her, but keep her alive and keep her in the city" Atsu advised. "I know that if anyone can break her spirit it's you two." He laughed.
"So when does she get here?" Malik asked.
"As soon as Seto brings her. It took forever just to get her in the slave's clothes" Atsu replied. Just then Seto walked up with a still struggling Safiya in tow. She was wearing torn clothes and her wrists were still tied. The gag was still tied to her and she had a hooded cloak that hid her features. Seto looked at Bakura apprehensively. Bakura, picking up on this, flashed his sweet smile.
"I promise you, she's in the best of care" he said. Safiya's eyes widened as she realized who this guy was. She scrambled to get behind Seto. He looked at her curiously.
"What's wrong?" he asked. Safiya pointed at Bakura.
"Safiya, its okay. You did what was right. I'm not mad" Bakura said in a sweet tone. Seto was still in doubt when Atsu pointed Kaphiri out of the crowd. Seto pushed Safiya into Bakura's open arms and walked off with Atsu beside him. Bakura looked at Safiya and smirked evilly. She yelped and looked at the sky, then tried to make a break for it. But Malik and Bakura dragged her off.
*~*~* with Seto *~*~*
Seto couldn't get over the fact that they'd gotten away with it. He went back to the palace and Relaxed. But Atsu was a little jumpy. He wasn't exactly sure whether that talisman would work. But there was no way for the gods to trace it back to him...unless Safiya talked. And with Bakura and Malik around she'd be in the quiet stage of slave reality in no time. He sat down in a chair in his quarters and tried to relax, but to no avail. Every little sound scared him. He heard a purring sound and snapped to his feet, thinking it was Safiya. But it was just her cat. It walked in and jumped into his lap.
"Well, I never thought you'd come to me. After all I did take your master away" Atsu muttered petting it. The cat's eyes held a strange gleam and without warning extended its claws and put a long slash down his cheek. He let out a roar of rage and tossed the cat against a wall. It bounced off and landed on its feet, watching the howling human. It turned and pranced out of there. If cats could smile that one would've been grinning like an idiot.
*~*~* with Safiya *~*~*
"So what do you think of the new help" Bakura asked calmly as Safiya looked at him.
"I don't know, she seems a little quiet. Think she can talk?" Malik answered. They were just toying with her, trying to get her to yell so they could hit her. Then again they'd hit her anyway.
"Nah, she's too stupid" Bakura replied. Safiya shook with rage. Cats are very prideful creatures after all. "Hmm? Oh look Malik I think we've upset her." Malik smirked.
"Well, what's wrong? Come on Cat girl, talk" he said. She smirked but shook her head. Bakura stood and hit her across the face.
"Don't you dare look at him, or me, like that again! Got it?!" he snapped. She nodded "now go make lunch." She gained a startled look on her.
"I-uh-I can't cook" she muttered. Bakura laughed.
"The great goddess of the home can't cook" he asked through laughter. She closed her eyes and tried to block the sounds of his laughter.
"Then what good to us are you?!" Malik said. She leveled her gaze on him.
"You left your shop without putting your stuff away" she said calmly. His eyes widened as he realized she was right.
"SHIT!" He got up and ran out the door. Bakura looked at her.
"I bet you think you're pretty smart, huh?"
"My intelligence is not really an important matter, but yes" he sent her reeling with a blow to the stomach. "Okay shutting up now." She sat down suddenly and took a deep breath.
"There must be something I can do to-I mean with you" he muttered starting to pace. He looked at her and once again noticed her unbelievable looks. "Hmm..." Safiya looked into his eyes and saw his intentions. She jumped to her feet.
"Hey, whoa, stop! I've seen that look before!" she backed up as he walked towards her. Eventually she found herself stuck in a corner. "Oh damn." He looked at her with an evil smile and hungry eyes.
"Come here and maybe I'll let you return to your beloved Seto." He hissed. "god damn, does everyone know?!' she thought to herself. She weighed her chances and raised her head as she stepped towards him. He smiled and got closer; she could feel his breath on her neck. She closed her eyes as he brushed her bangs out of her eyes. "Let me see those fiery eyes." She shook her head slightly and was slammed into the wall.
"Dammit! When I tell you to do something, you do it" he yelled in her face. Her eyes opened slowly revealing a soft blue instead of the usual red. He looked at them for a moment "why did they change?" She stayed silent for a minute then, fearing further injury, answered.
"This is what they look like when I'm fully human" she said in a quiet voice. He shrugged it off and leaned down to kiss her. She ducked and made a break for it. She even tasted fresh air before tripping and hitting the ground. Bakura had her tied again before she could even blink. He was straddling her and smiling.
"That was a pretty stupid thing to do" he said.
"It wouldn't have been stupid if it had worked" she retorted only to get smacked again.
"You just don't learn, do you?"
"Do just like to ask stupid questions" she asked. Once again she got hit.
"If I can't break you verbally maybe there's another way" she gulped as he licked his lips. "We'll see." He lowered his head and kissed her, forcing his tongue into her mouth. She closed her eyes 'Ra, please make him stop!' She begged silently. As Bakura came up for air she glared at him.
"What's the matter?" he asked in a seductive voice. Not wanting to get hurt again she just stayed silent. Unfortunately for her, he took 'what's the matter' as a question. This time he pulled out a dagger and stabbed her in the hand, causing a long earsplitting wail. "Answer me!"
"Seto Kisses Better" she yelled in pain. He glared at her.
"oh does he?! Well I bet I can change your opinion" he said
