Hotaru: welcome!
Bakura: *growls* why'd you make me...I can't even say it!
Hotaru: love? Well as I said before I needed conflict. So get over it!
Bakura: alright fine! Disclaimer, Hotaru does not own ANYTHING!!!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Bakura and Safiya were walking through the streets. Bakura was hoping it would make Safiya feel better. The fact was, just breathing hurt her, and so she saw this walk as punishment. She suddenly froze as a small whimper met her ears. She knew that sound all to well and that voice was too young to be rightfully pain filled. She ran through the crowd and found a tall wide man beating upon a small frail girl. Safiya got between them, taking a blow to the shoulder, and growled.
"Enough! This girl can't take any more!" she hissed. The man glared down at the second misbehaving slave and pulled back his whip.
"Get out of my way girl" the man bellowed. Safiya gave a small smirk and pulled a small but deadly golden dagger out of her sleeve. Bakura shoved his way through the crowd. 'Now when did she get that?' He wondered silently. Safiya's soft blue eyes quickly looked over Bakura's face.
"A few nights ago, while you and Malik were sleeping" she said answering his silent question. The fat guy raised the whip in the air and brought it crashing down. Safiya threw her arms up and let them take the whipping while at the same time catching it. The guy was shocked and Safiya barked a loud triumphant laugh and cut the whip in half with the dagger. The whip fell to the ground like a dead snake and no one moved. Safiya rushed forward and was about to hit the guy when Bakura ran in and held her back. She struggled and thrashed while hissing. "Let me go! I won't kill him I'll just hurt him a lot!"
"If you strike him you'll be put to death." Bakura hissed in her ear. She stopped fighting and stood still. For the first time in weeks she was happy to be alive, and dying would ruin that. The fat man and Bakura talked everything out while Safiya tended to the young girl.
"Sorry you had to see that" Safiya whispered.
"Its okay, Safi, without you I wouldn't have been able to." Safiya looked at the girl and realized who she was.
"Nailah, little one, is that you?" She asked softly. The girl nodded and smiled at Safiya. Bakura walked back over and looked down at Nailah then at Safiya.
"She's ours" he said. Safiya gained a surprised look as she kneeled down and Nailah hugged her.
"How much did you give up" Safiya asked.
"The man didn't want her anymore, she was given away." Bakura answered. Safiya knew the truth though. No slave was just given away. But if Bakura was willing to give up some of his ill-gotten goods, perhaps he wasn't so evil. Safiya smiled and kissed Nailah on the forehead.
"Thank you" she whispered to Bakura. He nodded and they continued their walk. It wasn't necessary anymore. Nailah and Safiya wanted to look around so Bakura gave in. They were about to return home when once again Safiya stiffened. Two very authoritative voices rang through the crowd. Safiya knew them both.
"Out of the way" one barked. Safiya looked for them, and then her eyes landed on a pair of icy blue ones.
"Seto" Bakura couldn't tell whether she said it in happiness or in sadness. 'Of course she'd be happy to see him' Bakura thought. He saw Safiya glare and grabbed her by the wrists just as she tried to spring for him. "Gah! Let me go, I don't care if I die! At least I'll die happy!" She broke free of Bakura's grip and tore down the street. Jumping at Seto but being frozen in mid air. Seto looked at her and smirked.
"Safiya, I thought you might come for me some day." Seto muttered. Yami was livid. Atsu who was in chains behind them winced at the sudden appearance. Safiya supposed he was going to be publicly executed and now...so would she. Seto's icy orbs were impossible to read, unless you knew him well enough.
"You son of a bitch!" she hissed, narrowing her eyes to slits. Yami's mind was working as fast as it could, devising a plan to get rid of Safiya once and for all. Then he hit upon an idea.
"She tried to attack you, for that she must be punished." He whispered to Seto. The tall teen looked at his captive audience. 'Should I let her die' he wondered.
"We have a few things to settle first. I'll be back as soon as possible" Seto muttered. With that he walked towards the palace. Safiya in tow, still unable to move.
*~*~* with Seto *~*~*
As soon as he was in his room he closed the door and looked her over.
"Safiya, it's been too long." He said. "I see you've been through a few beatings." She growled as he ran his fingers along her back.
"I took most of them in false hopes of you returning to normal!" She barked. He smiled and pulled on the talisman.
"So this is the only thing that makes you mortal" he whispered. "You know you still love me."
"Not anymore! I have someone else!" She yelled without even thinking.
"Oh really, and who is that?!" he asked angrily.
"Bakura!" She couldn't believe her ears. Neither could he. He really did still care for her, but now? His cheeks grew hot and he clenched his fists.
"Your Master?! Are you sure you LOVE him?" Seto asked.
"You left me to die Seto, you don't expect me to just forget that do you?" She replied.
"I didn't mean to, I just..." the truth was he didn't really have a good reason why he did it.
"Well? I'm waiting!" she snapped. He smiled at kissed her. She was shocked. As he stepped back she glared at him. "Its one thing to kiss me, but another to kiss me when I can't move!" He looked her in the eyes, trying to see if it was a trick.
"Your eyes, they're...they're blue" he said.
"Yes, so I've heard. That's what happens when I'm fully human. Now put me down!" she barked. He closed his eyes and she dropped to the floor. "Ow." 'How do I get out of here' she wondered.
"what do I have to do? What do I have to do to get you to believe me?" he asked. She looked at the ground then smiled.
"Free me" she whispered. He looked confused then his eyes fell on the Talisman. He reached out and snapped the string of it. A bright golden light flooded the room and there stood the goddess Bastet. She smiled cruelly. "You just made a BIG mistake, Seto, a BIG mistake."
