Love Across the Ages
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-gi-oh..And that's a fact.
Far from the royal city, (A/N: Not Bakura's hometown even if it is faraway) the King of thieves was planning something. He walked through the marketplace while plotting his every move. Then he heard something like "Hey!" Bakura looked over to where stood a man waving at him. In front of the man was a stand filled with items would perk most people's interest. Bakura walked to the man with an annoyed look. "What do you want?" he asked in his calm but deadly tone.
The man was unphased. "I see that you are a man of power! I think I have a item that might be of interest to you, and might help you get back what is rightfully yours..." the man said mysteriously.
Bakura raised an eyebrow and then his eyes narrowed. "How did you know?" he enquired. The man didn't reply to his question. He simply motioned for Bakura to come into the stand as he bent down and picked up a golden item.
"This item's name is the Millennium Ring."
"The Millennium Ring?!?!?!" exclaimed Bakura "but that's one of the damn pharaoh's treasures along with all the other Millennium items. Many of my minions have tried to posses of these items and have either died a terrible death or have been sent to the shadow realm. How did an average merchant like you get your hands on this item?"
"That is my own secret." The merchant said.
"I'll take it!" said Bakura. "How much?" he said, thinking about how lucky the man was that this place was full of guards if not he would have just taken it.
"Take it." Said the merchant. "Destiny has brought you and the ring together."
"Right..." Bakura raised his eyebrow at this comment. "Well thanks." He said as he walked off. /Fool! He actually just gave me such a priceless item/ he chuckled at his great deal.
He turned around to make sure the merchant was trying to trick him and have the guards put him in jail, but when he looked back the merchant and the shop was no longer there. Bakura had an eerie feeling but he shook it off. A little farther, the so called merchant named Shadi was looking down at the confused white haired thief. "It has begun..." and then he vanished.
That evening, Bakura polished the ring as he planned his next move to get the pharaoh and rescue Gabby. The hand holding the cloth tightened as he thought of Gabby. He felt horrible not knowing what she was doing right now. How was that stupid Yami treating her? He had so many questions going through his mind. Then his hold on the cloth hardened.
"One day Pharaoh, I will take back what is mine, and you will be left with nothing..." *Little fade away leaving just the eyes* (A/N: overdramatic, I know, I just thought it was a cute idea.)
~~
Gabby was forced to go through her little royalty lessons. /At least I don't have to pick up after that damn pharaoh anymore/ she thought as the instructor was teaching her to walk correctly. She missed a step and she felt a pain coming from her foot. The instructor had whacked her again. It was the 10th time today. Gabby decided that either the instructor really hated her, or she was just plain klutzy.
Gabby had just finished her walking course and was given a short break. She decided to go sit in the small garden outside her class. She sat upon a bench, when she heard, "May I sit here?" She looked up to be faced with Yami with a meek smile. Gabby jumped off the bench and bowed. "Of course your highness. This is after all your palace, what can't you do..." she muttered that last part.
Yami sat down and motioned for her to sit as well. "I know you dislike me." He started; Gabby scoffed before she could stop herself. /Hate is an underestimate, more like loath/ she thought..
"However I wanted to let you know, I don't hate you."
"I understand," she said in a bored tone.
"No, you're just saying that." He said. "In fact you're probably thinking that I'm just saying that because I have some plot to get Bakura through you."
Gabby tried to interrupt, but Yami put a hand over her mouth and stopped her. "Please let me finish while I still have the courage to do so." He took a deep breath and continued with his what he was saying. "The truth is, I fell in love with you the day I first saw you. The way you begged me to set Bakura free. I loved you not just your beauty but for your determination and your loyalty. But you just had to be that bastard's woman. Do you know how much it hurt me? The woman I admired and loved at first sight belonged to the man that I hated with every particle of my soul for many years."
Yami took yet another breath, " When I had Bakura brought out, you ran to him, tears falling for him. How I wished the one you were running to, and holding in your hands was me. How I envied Bakura. How could someone so evil, hold the world's most perfect woman? That made me hate him even more, and I got angry at you. Why would you risk your life for him? Why couldn't you have been wanting to see me because you admired me? Not seeking to save the life of that white haired devil!" Yami was now getting a bit frustrated and she could tell that he had unshed tears starting to well up in his eyes.
"But why do you hate Bakura?" she wondered.
"I've been taught to hate him, and his kind. My father wishes to have the kingdom rid of them. Those lying trecherous con men. Father says they will bring nothing but pain to the country. So many people's lives are as bad as they are not because his kind has been stealing from us, making us unable to fully provide for the people. Only when they are gone will Egypt be restored to it's former glory." He answered.
"Besides, Bakura has always seen me as his enemy. He joined a gang of thieves who have dedicated their lives to overthrow me and then have me killed. Bakura hates me because I killed his family his brother, his father and even his little sister. Even if not with my own hands, I killed them. These hands of mine are filled with the blood of the people I have killed. Do you really think that I wanted to kill them? At the age of 10 my father taught me, no matter who they are, have no mercy. If I disobeyed him, he would beat me. Much worse then what you have suffered off of me. Not only was I whipped and beaten, but forced to be cruel to all those were close to me. Joey was my only friend even after all that."
Yami suddenly felt a warm small hand cover his own. He looked up at Gabby and saw that she was crying. Gabby felt sorry for Yami. /no matter how much of a jerk he's been, he doesn't deserve to have such a past and forced to suffer such a pains/ she thought. She felt tears slowly fall; she tried to hold them in. Then she felt her tears being dried off. Yami had wiped away her tears and was now smiling at her.
"There's no need to cry Gabby. I just hope you don't hate me anymore. I really don't want the woman that I love more then anyone to hate me. Everytime you send one of your death glares at me, I feel a sort of jab in my heart." Yami said
Gabby giggled at this, "Oh so you find my pain funny?" he asked in a serious but joking tone. She laughed and nodded. "It doesn't matter," he said "I would willingly give away my life to see you smile. You know this is the first time I've actually see you laugh or smile. I want to see you smile more often, you look very beautiful."
"Well I better get back in there," she said finally "don't want to put your lessons to waste." Gabby left Yami sitting on the bench as she returned to her lesson. Yami sat there for a while thinking about Gabby's smile.
/Silly girl/ Yami thought as he got up from the bench. /Most of them are anyways. After all, she is one of those pitiful types that will forgive you on the moments notice just because you have some sob story behind it all. I suppose it was bad to have lied to Joey about this, but he's too kind and would have ruined my plans/
Suddenly he felt a poking in his heart. The poking itself didnt seem to hurt as much as the numbing that came after it. It numbed him from head to toe. He dropped onto his hands and knees "What is this sorcery?" //tsk tsk tsk// came a voice. Yami looked up to be faced with his conscience. (A/N: Think Yugi..) //Shame on you Yami// it said. // Not only have you lied to your best friend, but the woman you love as well? I can't believe that you would stoop that low just to get vengence against a commen thief!// The conscience shook his head.
"What I do is none of your business." Said Yami as he felt more numbing pain go through his body. //Perhaps,// said his conscience //I just hope you know what you're doing// and with that he was gone. The pain in Yami's chest also disappeared miraculously. Yami looked around and saw that everything was as before. He got up and as he walked towards his room, he thought back to what his conscience had said. "Maybe what he said had some reason to it, but I must complete father's wishes and if I have to destroy Bakura with along with the woman of my dreams...so be it!" And he slammed the door to his room.
Because he was deep in thought, Yami had not seen the shadow of the man behind the wall listening in on his every word. /So Yami has a girlfriend eh?/ he thought. /Perfect, I can use this to my advantage/ The man slipped farther into the shadows and returned to his own chambers.
~~Somewhere else..
Shadi entered the room where Isis was. He walked in and said, "Bakura now has the ring, as you have predicted."
"Good..." was all Isis said. "Then we should prepare for the big event..."
TBC
Wow what's Bakura gonna do? What's Yami planning? Who's the mysterious man out to get Yami? What's the big event Isis is talking about and how's it linked to Bakura getting the ring?
Well I have completed yet another chapter of my story. Since it's almost the weekend that means I will have more time to write more chapters meaning I will have more stuff coming!!! Keep checking!!! I have a long list of stuff I'm planning to put in this story!
