Disclaimer: Still don't own Yugioh or any of their characters, the others are mine though. I decided to give up on the scene change thing; I think it's more fun not to know.
Chapter 2
Little to the girl's surprise, the troops were up and moving before dawn. They had been traveling for about a week now and seemed to be making good progress. According to some of the men, they were about three days ahead of schedule. Then again with a leader like Bakura—Lilia looked down at the leader. He allowed the girls to ride while he led it along. With his wild white hair, piercing eyes, and most of all a deep rough voice that demanded respect from all around him. (What am I doing? I shouldn't be thinking about him like that he's the reason why we're homeless and without a family. He's a killer, a
thief, a cute--- get a hold of yourself!!) Kira sat behind Lilia analyzing the situation. She was thankful to be alive, but her friends and family were gone and all because of him. They attacked their home, took what they wanted and burned the rest. Now they were traveling with them on their way to who knows where. (Why would he keep us alive, what's he really up to?) The more she thought about it the more it drove her crazy. She wiped away the tears that stung at her eyes. What's done is done and it was useless to cry now.
The shadow stood over the form of the sleeping girl, smirking." Wake up," he said shaking her lightly. Her eyes started to focus and looked at the man before her. "Oh it's you um…" "Bakura." He stated. Lilia followed him a little ways from the
camp. "We'll be in Egypt tomorrow; he looked at her I don't suppose you have family there." "No, all of our relatives lived in the village." (Great.) Without a place to stay, they would end up as slaves or mistresses that bothered him. (Let's see I can't
kill them, well I could but….) "What going the happen to us?" Lilia's crying broke Bakura out of his thoughts, he couldn't stand seeing females cry. "Stop crying girl, you and your sister can with me!!" (Oh no.) "Y—you mean it?" Bakura didn't
answer. Lilia stared at him, waiting for a response. Finally, he nodded. "Thank you, Lilia run up to Bakura and hugged him you have no idea how much this means to me." Bakura walked Lilia back to the tent. She fell asleep almost instantly, with a
smile on her face. (What have I gotten myself into?)
"He said what?" Kira was whispering to Lilia. The troops had separated from them a while ago as to not draw attention when entering the country. "He said we could stay with him." Kira couldn't believe it. "Are you sure, did he say how long and
what is he trying to prove." "Yes I'm sure and you can stay as long as you want." Both girls turned toward Bakura who had his back to them. As far as proving anything, I'm not it's your choice." (Well considering my "choices"…. Oh my…..) Kira
gazed at the city before her. It had to be at least four times the size of their village. The fishermen were working at the harbor
with their boats, merchants and customers bartering over goods, a processing exiting the temple. It was all an overwhelming sight, but it paled in comparison to the building overlooking it all. It was a majestic palace of marble and gold with white linen
scarves hanging from the columns of the entrance. The inside of the palace was hidden by the shadows. When they got further into the town, the girls got off the camel and Bakura continued to hold the reins. Kira was enjoying the sights and smells of
spices in the marketplace, the ambiance beckoning to her. (I wonder if Bakura would….. Maybe not.) Debating the idea in her mind Kira decided to chance it. "Bakura, can we go to the marketplace?" "Kira it could be dangerous out there." "I just want to look around; it's our first time in Egypt." "That's why we need to stay with Bakura, there's no telling what's out there." Bakura had some business to take care of and it was probably best if they weren't around. "Alright, you can go." (He actually said yes, hmm….) "Would you rather stand here with the camel?" Lilia started to protest, but decided against it.
Bakura began to walk off. (How much trouble could Kira get into with her there to watch her?)
"Well Kira, looks like you get your way again….Kira? Darting hers eyes around the crowd, she saw no sign of her. "Kira!!" Kira was well underway with her safari on the marketplace. She was caught up in her exploration that she didn't notice three
figures following her. She continued on until she realized how quiet it became. Turning around she saw three men blocking the street. "Hey cutie." The leader said smiling. "Hello, Kira said nervously, could you let me pass, you're in my way." I can't do
that, he said moving closer you're trespassing on my territory and I can't let you leave without payment." Kira took off but it wasn't long before she trapped in an alleyway. Looking around and finding no means of escape, she backed up to the wall
was only delaying the invertible. Kira closed her eyes, wishing she could get out of there. (Hey nothing's happening.) Standing between Kira and her attackers was someone wearing a tan robe and hood. "Look shrimp this is none of your business."
"Well, I'm making it my business; the stranger stated I can't stand people that pick on others, especially young girls." "Fine, the leader said we'll just kill you and then get the girl. The stranger took a defensive stance, (They may have the numbers….)
the attackers drew closer. (But I have the training.)Within a few swift kicks and punches, two landed on the ground with a thud. The leader took out a knife and began circle trying to get to Kira, but the man kept on his guard allowing no entrance. With little choice the leader charged at the young man and before Kira could blink, he was on the ground with the knife at his throat. "I'm going to let you live, but I suggest you find other ways to expend your time." The leader ran off, leaving Kira with her rescuer. "
