Forbidden Passion:

Chapter 1: Whispered Promises

By: Gen-chan

Bakura sighed in exhaustion, slowly wiping off his hands of the sticky blood. The poor woman didn't make it through the procedure unfortunately, and he was not looking forward to telling the woman's brother.

The room in which he worked was small and secure, off limits to anyone but him. Its solemn walls spoke of to many deaths and many hardships still resting upon his heavy shoulders. There was one other in the room with him this time though it was not the best of company. The stationary figure lay in the very center upon a large stone block. Its motionless limbs lay covered by a rough linen sheet and a small lily rest upon its chest.

Sighing once more Bakura headed out towards his regular chambers to tell the small brown haired slave the bad news.  As soon as he entered both boys stood in respect, their eyes shining in anticipation and hope. With but a shake of his head that little shard of hope within the young slaves eyes shattered and the small boy slumped to the floor with tears spilling down his face.  Ryou looked down at the younger boy with pity as a few tears escaped his eyes.

"Boy."  Bakura said roughly.

Slowly the small slave boy opened his eyes and lifted his head to look up at the Prince.

"Majesty?"

"You must go now. It is no longer safe for you here, leave the burial to me understand?"

"Yes sir."

Without any other words Bakura turned his back upon the quivering boy signaling his immediate dismissal. Quickly the brown haired child scrabbled to his feet, made a hasty bow to Bakura's back and all but ran from the room, his tears having yet to stop.

Bakura noticed the lack of light in the large room and walked over to his giant balcony overlooking the kingdom that would soon be his. Amun Ra was once again finishing his life cycle and soon the sky would be ablaze with the twinkle of the stars once more. Feeling a light tug on his robe Bakura looked down to see the slightly watering eyes of his baby brother.

"It makes me sad Big Brother." Ryou spoke up quietly.

"What does?" Bakura asked slightly baffled by his brother's random statement.

"Death." Was the whispered reply.

Slightly startled Bakura look down at the child now sitting by his feet. The fast asleep child sitting by his feet. With a soft smile very few have ever seen, Bakura leaned down gently picking up the precious bundle.  Looking out over the silent desert once again the silver haired teenager turned slowly to put his brother to bed. The wind blew caressing the cooling desert people, upon it a whispered promise.

"Soon it will change little brother. Very soon."
