Chapter 12: The Mind of a Tomb Robber

A/N: This chapter is devoted to Bakura's point of view.

Bakura sat in his chair and looked at all his servants. They had never followed Malik; no they had only followed Bakura. Yet they pretended to be loyal to Malik. Bakura heard the tortured scream of one of the servants. That one, however, had been loyal to Malik and was now paying for it. He was being used as an example for the others. Now they would all be 100% loyal to Bakura while the betrayer's soul would be taken by Anubis to the Under World.

Another scream ripped through the air. Bakura snickered to himself. He was still in the Torture Chamber. The love-sick fool Malik and his friends had left it and had gone to another room. They were sleeping now; perfect prey for him and his hunters. Bakura looked at his pitiful servants, dogs they were. Cowering and sniveling dogs.

"So master, when do we strike?" One of them asked.

"We wait; patience is the key to this plan. They sleep, unaware that we are still here. Unbeknownst to them, we are going to ambush them. And that love-sick fool will have nothing to do about it. He is alone in his own room and his sister sleeps peacefully in her bed, alone too. The others are in one big room crammed full of beds making moving around difficult. Yet two of them are sick and can barely move, the others are bruised," Bakura explained.

"May I ask a question?" A man with icy blue eyes asked. With the cowl of his cloak up, you could only see his eyes. They seemed to be glowing.

"Yes, slave,' Bakura said, not really paying attention.

"How do you know all of this?" the man asked hesitantly.

"I have my own eyes-and-ears. This one is my own personal spy yet you will not know who this slave is," Bakura said. "Enough of that. Now to talk of my brilliant plan."

"Yes sir," the slave said, blending in with the shadows.

"Okay. I'll send two of you to Isis' room. Gag and bind her and then take her Millennium Tauk. Bring it to me as soon as it is in you hands. Do I have any volunteers for this job?" Bakura asked.

"My brother and I will volunteer," a youth with blonde hair and green eyes said.

"Okay. As for Malik, I must say he is quite strong so I will send Atsumori, Goro, and Hirokazu to ambush and capture him. Take his Millennium Rod and bring it back to me," Bakura ordered.

The three in question bowed their heads and disappeared into the dark.

"As for the rest of you. You will ambush the large group. Kidnap Trinity for she will do well for ransom. I hear she is weak and will be easy to capture. Lock the boy Yugi in some upstairs room. Bind and gag him so he will not be found. Knock out the rest. Look for the Millennium Puzzle too. I hear it is not with Yugi so it could be anywhere. Atsumori, Goro, and Hirokazu: I want you to search Malik's room for it. Jack, you and your brother will search Isis' room for it. I will not rest until it is found!" Bakura demanded.

His servants just bowed their head.

"We hunt in thirty minutes. Traitors will be tortured and those who are loyal will be rewarded with wealth and power," Bakura said, grinning.

He laughed to himself. Bakura walked into one of the rooms inside the Torture Chamber. This particular room served as his office. There were whips on the wall. They were barbed, wood, and just plain. The whips were in all sorts of different lengths. Some of them had been used recently on the midget Yugi. Blood still covered some of them. Bakura walked up to one of the barbed whips. There was some blood on it and he took his figure and wiped it off. Then Bakura licked off the blood on his figure. So sweet, so good. He loved the taste of blood. Raw meat was good too.

"Um master…I bring news," a voice filled with fear said.

"Ah, my spy. Tell me of your news," Bakura said.

"They are all asleep and I was unseen. In the midst of friends, it is very easy to get in and out of the room. We can hunt now, the time is right," the voice suggested.

"That is a good suggestion. Stay here while I alert my hounds. The prey is caught in a trap and there is no where to run nor hide." Bakura said, smiling evilly.

He walked out to the main room where all the servants were.

"We hunt!" he announced.

They all looked up at him and with a nod they left. They left to hunt, like wolves after caribou. Bakura was surprised he didn't hear howls. His slaves…his servants were just so much like wolves. Malik and his friends on the other hand…were the injured caribou. Too weak to defend themselves and so unaware at what was about to happen, it was funny.  

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sorry for the short chapter. I just wanted to devote something to the tomb robber's point of view. This story is writing itself…O_O I don't even have a perfectly good idea of what's going to happen. I had this story and all of its chapters figured out so that it was 11 chapters long and then it goes and rewrites itself! Oh well, I guess it will be like 15-20 chapters long then. Is the plan gonna work? Who's the spy? Will there be character death? You'll just have to wait for the next chapter. While waiting…PLEASE REVIEW!
