Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh or any of its characters (Wish I did J ) I've been reading so many fics that I decided to start myself. This is my first story, so I hope you like it.

Desert Star
By Tamisity
The sun was setting slowly over a vast meadow on a hill. As the wind rippled through the sea of grass, two young girls laid there enjoying the view. Lilia pushed her long, wavy, chestnut hair out of her face and turned her hazel eyes toward the sleeping form of her sister. She smiled as she shook her, "Come on sleepyhead we have to get back." Pulling back on long purple tresses, two cerulean orbs became visible. "It's sunset already, "Kira asked yawning. Lilia nodded, "I was supposed to wait until the party, she handed Kira a folded piece of cloth, happy birthday." Kira anxiously opened the cloth and gasped
Inside was a crystal star attached to a gold chain. Putting it on, she hugged her sister. "Thank you Lilia." "You're welcome, but put it under your dress so no one else will see it." Both girls stood and stretched, the last rays of the sun laminating their copper skin. "Race ya!" Kira ran off with Lilia not far behind. Soon Lilia overtook her and started toward the ledge and froze. "Lilia why did you stop… "The sisters looked down hopelessly at the large black crater with wisps of smoke rising from it. " Do you think anyone survived?" "I don't know Kira, let's go see."

It was nightfall by the time they reached the village, the pale moonlight and the fog giving it an eerie glow. "Our home… Kira choked out it's a cemetery now." Lilia traced her fingers on the burnt frame of their house. "I don't think anyone survived this."
Walking around the corner, Lilia heard a faint noise. Motioning for Kira to come closer, both were surprised to see a dim light in the distance. With no other choice, both started to make their way toward the fire.

A group of men sat around a bonfire eating, drinking and dividing the spoil. "Not a bad looting for a village," Hikeem said to Abdul. "True, but this was not the entire objective." "Oh, really, what do you know?" "Apparently, we've been looking for
some sort of rare treasure with unheard of power." "What does it do?" "I'm not sure but it must be something to attract that creepy priest's attention." The conversation was cut short due to the screaming approaching the camp. The group turned
around just in time to see Lilia and Kira falling to their knees gasping for air. "I found these two spies sneaking up on us." Ramon said.
"We're not spies, Kira huffed, we were just looking for our family." "When we saw the fire we thought maybe some of them had survived, Lilia continued, we're outnumbered with no weapons, what threat could we pose to you?" After reevaluating the situation, Ramon asked the others, "What should we do them?" Omar came out of the crowd and eyed Lilia lewdly, "have a little fun, of course." He grabbed her and began to kiss her roughly. Kira struggled to get free as another man tried to hold her down. "Let go of m—"her scream was cut short by the rope tied around her mouth. Omar started downed Lilia's neck and she clawed at his face furiously. He slapped and Lilia fell, holding her cheek. "You'll pay for that, you whore," he began to approach her again when someone grabbed his arm.
"Touch her again and I'll slit your throat," the deep, rough, voice growled. Omar turned and paled as he saw Bakura glaring at him. "Sir I was just… he stammered. " "Save me your pathetic excuses." Throwing him down, he addressed the men. Release the other one and load up the supplies, we leave at dawn. As the men took to their orders Bakura watched as the two young girls hugged each other. Both were very beautiful he couldn't deny that, but that didn't exclude the fact that they knew a little too much. "Follow me" Bakura led the girls to a large tent and brought them some food and blankets. "Eat and rest up, we have a long trip ahead of us." "Where are you—"The glare Bakura give Kira was enough to shut her up, for now anyway. "Thank you sir." Bakura give a sideways glance at Lilia and left. "Well at least we're not dead, not yet anyway." Kira flopped down on some blankets. "What do you think he'll do with us?" "Who knows, just watch what you say to him okay?" "I'll try, goodnight Lil." "Goodnight Kira. The two girls settled down and let sleep overtake them.
So, what do you think? I'm still writing and hopefully it won't take too long to post. Before I forget I'd like to thank Amber and Alan for their support and ideas on this story.
Later!!
