Love Across the Ages
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-gi-oh
Bakura woke up to find himself in a cold dank alleyway. As he got up, he felt pain in his ribs and back. He checked over himself to find bruises and a cut in his arm. Then suddenly a greater pain came back to haunt him, the memory of Gabby being taken away by the pharaoh. He could still remember her grief stricken face as the surrounding slowly turned to complete darkness. Bakura did something that he hadn't done since the death of his family. Cry.
Bakura slowly made it back to his home, where he decided to heal and then go back after Gabby. After having tended to his wounds, he noticed that it was sunset. He looked over to where the balcony was and he remembered the day where he had told her he loved her. "Gabby..." he said in a soft whispered which was carried away by the wind.
~*Meanwhile in the palace*~
That evening, when Gabby had been shown what to do and where to go, she had gone to serve the pharaoh as she was told to do so. However he sent her away saying that he had important stuff to do. Gabby simply cleaned the pharaoh's room as she was instructed and retired to her dorm. There she looked out the window to see that it was sunset. She watched the sunset as memories came rushing back to her. They were all memories of her and Bakura, the many sunsets that they shared. A tear slowly fell and down her cheek. Then she heard "Gabby..." She gasped and turned around to see that Yami had entered her room.
"Your highness!" she said as she bowed in front of him.
He chuckled and made his way across the room. He picked her up by her shoulders roughly. "What in the name of Ra does a pretty thing like you see in a bastard like Bakura? He's nothing but a pathetic street rat!" he whispered dangerously. Then he slapped her across the face.
Gabby fell to the floor; she placed her hand over where Yami had hit her. She could feel the heat radiating off her face. She glared at the pharaoh, her eyes raged with anger. She felt tears of pain welling in her eyes.
The pharaoh saw her rage. "You know not many people dare face me like that. You're either very brave, or very foolish. All this over a stupid pathetic weak criminal!" He shook his head. "You must be foolish to give up your future for a loser like Bakura."
"You're wrong."
Yami looked at the girl. "What?" He asked
"You're wrong." She stated again. "Bakura is my future and he is not a loser! And if anyone is the loser it's you!" She shouted.
Yami's eyes narrowed. "How dare you!" He cried as he pulled her by her wrist making her gasp out in pain. "No one has ever dared say that I am wrong, no less a loser!" He let go of her wrist letting her fall back to the ground in pain, and then he left the room. Gabby sat on the dirt- covered floor, massaging her wrist. Then she heard footsteps approaching. Gabby tried to run, however the pharaoh had already saw her, and whipped his whip at her back causing her to cry out in pain.
Gabby felt the excruciating pain over and over again. Then the pain she felt became numb and then everything went black and Gabby passed out. Yami saw that she had passed out and stopped his torture. He told the guards to make sure her wounds would not kill her, and left the servant chamber.
Yami returned to his room where he felt as if his heart had a huge boulder on top. "What is this pain?" he wondered out loud. /Guilt? / His inner voice suggested. /Perhaps our heart is hurt over what you did to the one we want to love the most. However I'm pretty sure that what you just did to her, the feelings are definitively not mutual/ his inner voice chuckled.
"No!" Yami said, "It can't be! I can't fall for a servant girl, no less the love of the thief that dare disturb my ancestor's rest." Then his inner voice taunted him with one word /Denial/. "Arrrrgggghhhhh!!!!" Yami shouted, "Leave me alone!!!!" He picked up a vase and threw it out of his bedroom door.
Joey, Yami's closest friend and son of one of his most trusted advisors, was just walking by when a vase went zooming past his face, only centimeters by his nose and crashing to the floor not far from his feet. A sweat drop appeared, and Joey took his chances and poked his head through Yami's door when a small statue of a mini sphinx came right at his head and all went black for Joey.
Yami stopped his throwing rampage when he heard the sound of a crack and thud. He turned around to see his high priest out cold and the pieces of the mini sphinx around his head. "Oh dear Ra! Joey are you all right? Somebody get help!" Yami shouted.
Joey groaned as he came to. "Oww! My head" he complained as he got up. Yami who had been standing by the window came rushing to his good friend's side. "Be careful Joey, the doctor has just looked over your injury. That was a nasty bump on the head. Also I apologize that you were hurt during my, ahem, little episode back there." Yami looked away from embarassment.
"That's ok," Joey said as he rubbed his head where it hurt the most "Just give a warning next time.." he joked. Yami smiled seeing that his friend was ok. "Hey Joey?" he said as he looked back at his friend. "I have a question for you."
"Is this about your personel life? Because if this is politics you should be talking to my dad.."
"No, this is personel."
"Oh ok! Then what can I do for you oh pharaoh?" Joey brightened.
"Well you see I have this friend..."
"You mean you right?" Joey interrupted
"How did you..." Yami stuttured
"How long have we been friends? Besides, would the great pharaoh really ask something for a friend?" Joey stated.
"Maybe.." Yami tried to defend "Anyways, as I was saying, I'm in love with one of my slaves."
"Well there's nothing wrong with that. You can either use her, if you're seriously in love you could always sell yourself and when you both have the status of slave you can get married." Joey joked. Yami threw him a death glare. "Or not! Why don't you just take her through training and make her the goddaughter of some high lord, then she'll be high class enough to be married!"
Yami brightened at this suggestion. "Joey you're brilliant! It's amazing the ideas that can come out of your head at times!" he shouted as he ran to find an etiquette trainer.
~~ The next morning
Gabby had woken up to someone nudging her. It was a young man with blonde hair.
"Wake up! It's time for your training." He told her.
"What training?" she asked as she got up. She winced when she felt a sting in her back, she almost fell but she felt two hands supporting her. She looked to see that it was the blonde man. "You know Yami's not as bad as you think he is." He said. "My name's Joey and I'm Yami's best friend."
"Surprise surprise! The pharaoh actually has a friend." Said Gabby in a sarcastic tone.
"He's really not that bad. He's even arranged royalty courses to turn you into one of high class."
"Probably plotting something evil..." she muttered
Upon arriving to the room where the lessons had been prepared, Joey gave one last shot to help Yami's reputation. "You know, Yami's a lot like a Cactus, dangerous looking on the outside, great on the inside. Give the guy a chance hmmm?" and with that Joey left Gabby to her lessons.
A bit shorter then usual, kind of dull this chapter. Tried to corporate a little humor. Well I'll try to update asap.
