Bakura cautiously opened the temple door a crack. Good. It was empty. He
slipped inside and approached the altar. Every nerve in his body was
twanging for some odd reason. There- on the altar, the statue! Bakura
grabbed it and hurriedly stuffed it into one of his gigantic pockets. He
bolted out the door and shimmied up the wall. He then crouched down and
glanced below him. Seto was standing there, looking impatient. Bakura
couldn't resist.
"Hey, think quick!"
Priests are not known for their athletic ability, and thieves are not known for throwing things in a way that is easy to catch. Thus, it should come as no surprise that Seto looked up just in time to receive the heavy gold statue full in the face. Bakura laughed as he sprinted away from the scene of the crime.
*~*~*~*~*~A few hours later.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"And you say that this was your most valuable statue?" the guard inquired.
"Y-y-yes," the old priest stammered unhappily.
The guard nodded. Come with me, sir." He led the priest around the wall to where a young priest-in-training lay unconscious with a large lump on his head. A slightly cracked gold statue was on the ground next to him
The priest cried out and clutched the statue to his chest. After thanking the guard profusely, he rushed back to the temple.
The guard knelt down and roused the boy, who sat up and clutched his head, moaning. "Master Seto," the guard said firmly, "I don't know why you tried to steal that statue, but you know it's my duty to punish you." He sighed. "I'm afraid you'll have to do one week of cleaning duty, plus the Pharaoh will want to have a word with you, of course." Seto groaned as he watched the guard walk away.
It could have been caused by his recent head injury, but Seto thought he saw that little thief grinning at him just down the road. Seto tried to get up, but his head throbbed and he sat down hard. The thief laughed and skipped away.
"I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS, THIEF BOY!" Seto howled at thin air.
