Chapter 13. Truth
The wind howled a soft hum as morning rose up from the depths of night. The cold air crept up her shoulders. She shivered softly. The clouds wouldn't let the sun come out so it was even chillier then usual.
She stirred as someone shook her shoulders violently.
***Nakhti's POV***
I snapped my eyes open. I looked up to see a pair of angry eyes gazing into mine.
I pushed the person back to see who it was. I had to be cautious for I think I was in the bad side of town.
Noticing who it was I looked back down. I felt so weak. I don't know how or why I got my name, Nakhti, if you look up that name under ancient Egyptian you would see my name listed. It meant strong, but I didn't feel that way.
I shuddered as Bakura shook my shoulders again, trying to get my attention.
Bakura: "Me, Ryou, and everyone have been looking for you!" He snapped.
I couldn't answer; I couldn't even meet his gaze. I felt so lost.
I winced as he jerked me off the winter ground and pinned me to a tree. I starred down at my feet, wishing that he would just go away.
Bakura: "Answer me, you pathetic mortal!"
Nakhti: "."
Bakura slapped me hard on my right cheek. Tears weld up in my eyes as I continued to ignore him. I felt broken, shattered, no meaning to want to live anymore. Of course I could hit him, harder then he did me, but something held me back. It felt the wall I couldn't break. So I waited for nothing or something, one or the other.
He hit me again making gasp slightly. He let me go and let me fall to my knees. I put my arms out to brace my self from falling face first. I could feel the tears slide down my cheeks as Bakura kicked me in the side.
Bakura: "You can at least try and fight back, " he snapped, " At least this would be a little bit more fun."
Nakhti: "I don't want to fight you" I murmured
Bakura grabbed me by the shoulders and again pinned me to the tree once again. This time I looked at him then looked away.
Bakura: "Why?" He snapped.
Suddenly I had the answer, I didn't really like it, but it was true. Someone in side me screamed, 'because you love him!' Again and again the voice screamed but I stood silent.
Nakhti: "I." And stopped.
Bakura: "Well answer already! You are wasting my fuckin time!" He hit me hard making my lip bleed.
I couldn't take his torture any longer.
Nakhti: "You wanna know why?"
Bakura: "Yes!"
Nakhti: "Do you really wanna know?"
Bakura: "Yes, tell me already or Ill fuckin choke you till you do!" And with that he pushed me harder into the tree making my neck bleed.
Nakhti: "It's cause I love you ok!" I yelled at him. I threw him on his back. "You happy now you little asshole!" I glared at him. "Well now you know, so now you can choke me just as long as you kill me I wouldn't give a shit!"
And I stalked off.
*** an hour later***
I walked over to the door and latterly punched the door instead of knocking.
Kada stood at the doorframe peering at me.
Kada: "Come in." she answered finally as she led me to the kitchen.
Kada grabbed a washcloth.
Kada: "What happened? " while handing me the damp towel.
Nakhti: "I fell" I lied after putting the damp towel onto my neck.
Kada: "Oh" She gazed at me for a while before returning to making lunch.
Nakhti: "I have a question"
Kada: "What is it?" She asked sitting at the counter.
Nakhti: "You see I have this friend. She likes this guy but he seems to really hates her, and they fight.A LOT"
Kada: "well... has your friend tell him yet? "
Nakhti:"yes...sort of"
Kada:" well It all depends on the guy, there isn't really anything your friend can do after she tells him her true feelings."
I thought about this for a while then handed black the now red washcloth.
Nakhti: "Thanks a lot, I got to go bye!"
I left Kada's house then walked home.
As I walked home I thought over Kada's words: 'It all depends on the guy.'
As I walked to the house I could see Yugi and everyone leaving, so was Ryou. After they said good-bye to then leave and I laid down on the couch.
After about 15 minutes I heard foot steps come into the living room. I opened my eyes a little bit. It was Bakura, not seeing her away he sat on the other end of the couch. I pretended to be asleep.
***Bakura's POV***
I can't believe she loves me. Of all people. But then I had felt A little strange when I first saw her kick-ass personality. I leaned forward to check if she was sleeping. I leaned forward till my face was centimeters away from hers. I murmured an 'I love you to' then brushed my lips with hers.
***Nakhti's POV***
I sat up straight. Bakura turned paler then he already was but then after a minute later he started to blush. I looked at him with confusion.
Bakura: "I.I didn't know you were awake." He stuttered.
Nakhti: "I don't care if I was awake or not, but is what you said true? "
Bakura took a glance at her then looked away in embarrassment.
Bakura tried to get up but I pushed him back down.
Bakura: "No.It's not"
