Seto was once again facing an angry Bastet but this time...he was afraid. As she quaked with silent fury he bowed.
"I'm sorry" he muttered.
"Yes, I know" she whispered. As he watched she walked out onto his balcony and looked upon the streets. "That's your answer to everything, isn't it? Expect me to forget as easily as I remember? You're wrong. I do not forget."
"Safiya, please-" she turned and focused her laser like eyes on him.
"You do not know who you are speaking to" she snapped. "Safiya and i...we draw a very distinct line between the two of us." Her tail swept the ground as she sat down on his bed. Seto stayed silent. He knew better than to speak to goddess when he was being 'judged.'
"It's strange that the one who taught her to love with such feeling..."she looked back down at Seto. "Would be the one to teach her to hate with equal passion. Do you have a reason why you would do this to her? She who loved you so much that she carried scars and bruises that you should have?"
"I did not think. For this I am truly sorry but please there must be something I can do-" he stopped as she growled. Her tail reached out and brushed aside the tears in his eyes. They were tears of fear and sorrow.
"It is for her to decide, not I, for I merely use this body as an extension, one I can see through. You mortals are a terrible people. You destroy what you hold as most precious then wonder why it is gone. For her sake, and that alone, I will spare you. But if you ever hurt her again you WILL feel the full wrath of all that I am. Understand?"
"Yes" he said bowing lower. She waved her hand dismissively and purred.
"She may not choose you, as she has eyes for another now. You lost a great thing, do you know that?" She asked.
"Yes"
"She'll never trust you again but-" she stood up and began to leave. She stopped halfway through the doorway. "She will never love or trust another either. Not much of a consolation is it? To see such hope destroyed not once but a thousand times by so many different hands...it's a small wonder why she hasn't given up on you yet."
"She hasn't?" He asked. She purred.
"No, not entirely. She foolishly thinks that you can change-"
"I can!" he shouted interrupting her. He was shocked at his own boldness. The feline deity smiled in amusement.
"Can you now? Then I expect to see it. Or you will lose more than her trust" she ran a single claw across her throat and smirked. "Understand?"
"Yes" he said.
"Good" she muttered as she left.
*~*~* with Bakura *~*~*
He turned a corner and looked around. He had snuck into the palace to find Safiya, but he was having trouble locating her.
"Ra just let her be safe" he whispered. A laugh accompanied by a 'meow' made him spin around. He was suddenly face to face with Bastet.
"Hello my dear Tomb Robber" she purred.
"Safiya?" He asked. She shook her head and her eyes flashed as she raked a single claw across his chest. He fell back from surprise and put his hand to his chest, pulling back a blood covered hand. "What-"
"That's for the pain you put her through!" Bastet hissed. He took a sharp breath as she touched the blood. Her eyes narrowed. "Be glad that it is not deeper. I could have killed you but I know how upset Safiya would get. You could do well to learn from her."
"What-what do you mean?" he asked.
"She's taken over a thousand beatings and some horrible nights-"
"That was Malik not me!" he said. She growled at the interruption.
"And he will get his soon enough, but who started it?" She asked.
"I-I did" he whispered.
"That's right but because you have been trying to make it up to her..." she smiled and waved her hand in an almost bored way. "I won't kill you."
"You make it sound like you want to." He commented. She raised an eyebrow and laughed a little.
"I can't help but hope she chooses you" she muttered. "You're not like the others. But I have to go. Safiya will be back later. Promise." She turned to leave but not before kissing him on the forehead. As she left Bakura looked back down at his chest and saw that it was no longer bleeding. It was just a bright scar.
*~*~* with Malik *~*~*
Malik was lying in his bed sleeping when he heard a loud 'meow.' He sat straight up in bed and looked around.
"Bakura" he asked. There was a faint scratching sound. "Safiya?"
"Close...but no. Try Bastet" she walked into the room with a cold look.
"B-Bastet?" he asked scooting back until his back hit the wall. She growled as her lips curled back revealing a set of pointed fangs. She advanced on him.
"You'll pay for what you did to Safiya" she hissed. She extended her claws and was about to kill him when
"STOP!!!" Bastet jerked up and saw Safiya, or more accurately a shadow of Safiya, standing in the doorway.
"wha-there are two of you" Malik shrieked.
"No, just one extremely mad goddess and a mildly angry human" Bastet muttered. Safiya glared at her. "I'll deal with you later." Bastet walked out side with Safiya beside her.
"Why'd you stop me?!" Bastet yelled.
"I don't care if you kill people on your own accord but DO NOT kill them for MY BENEFIT" she snapped.
"What?! I was helping you!" Bastet said
"No you were exacting your own revenge for whatever the hell you saw as 'wrong' in this little world of ours." She muttered sitting down and easing her back onto the wall. "I didn't sign on for this Bastet."
"We HAD a deal! I get to experience life as a mortal and YOU didn't have to be alone!" Bastet yelled. Safiya blushed a deep red.
"He has nothing to do with OUR agreement!"
"He WAS our agreement" Bastet snapped. Safiya glared. "Unless you WANT him to die." Safiya sighed.
"Go ahead and do what you will. I just do not want to be held responsible, okay?" She asked. Bastet smiled maliciously
"Yes, okay. Great, now as soon as I kill Malik-" Safiya gasped as Bastet muttered this.
"NO KILLING!!" she roared. Bastet growled.
"You do not control me, mortal!" Bastet snapped.
"The same to you, Bastet, because in case you've forgotten YOUR ONLY MY SISTER!" Safiya replied with a sneer. Bastet shook with fury.
"You're a Mortal! There is no relation!" Bastet yelled.
"I'm half mortal" she retorted coolly.
"Don't make me regret sparing BOTH your lovers" Bastet warned.
"I'll choose...when I'm ready." She said quietly.
"I understand Safiya, that's what I told them. But-"
"what?! Are you like the pharaohs?! 'give your first born child, now'!" Safiya yelled.
"well you are expecting!!!" Safiya's eyes widened.
"i...what?!"

Hotaru: nice little cliffy
Bakura: who's the father?
Hotaru: *raises an eyebrow* why do you care?
Bakura: *blushes* I REFUSE TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT!
Hotaru: *rolls her eyes* don't sweat it Baku-kun. You're spared from the 'child support syndrome'
Bakura: so Seto's the father? How?
Hotaru: I didn't say that either
Bakura: MALIK?!!!!!
Hotaru: HUH?! *read a piece of paper* DAMN! He IS on the list of possible fathers...oh man! Safiya is gonna kill me!
Yami: why does she have to be pregnant?
Hotaru: so I can write my next fic. One with her descendant and Seto *evil smile* and of course you my beloved Tomb Robber. *looks at Reviewers* unless you guys don't want to read it. Review and tell me if I should write a fic with Safiya's descendant.
