As usual, I don't own Yugioh. Sorry it took so long, but I had some formatting problems and the snowstorm didn't help much either. Hopefully now it will be a little easier to read.
Chapter 4
It had been a little over a month since the girls had been living with Bakura and everything seemed to be running smoothly. Ryou and Kira had become like brother and sister and were spending most of their time together. Lilia laid back amongst the wild flowers in the garden and wondered about Bakura. Of course he was more than capable of taking care of himself, but she didn't expect him to be gone this long, that and the fact that he had left her in charge until he got back. It was probably a no brainer to choose her over Kira, but what about Ryou? Didn't he trust his own servant? The more Lilia thought about it, another matter came to her. Maybe she was paranoid or did she really feel like she was being watched. (That's crazy, it's just the three of us here and no one can get in, whom else could it be?) "Ryou do you mind helping me with dinner?" "I'd be delighted." "Kira, you should start washing up." Forcing the issue aside for now she went inside to start dinner.
"Do you think these are enough vegetables?" Lilia nodded "We need more herbs though oh and don't forget the rolls." Ryou began to pan up some rolls while Lilia mixing some more ingredients in the stew. "At this rate, dinner should be ready in no time, Lilia you're a wonderful cook." "Thanks, but would not be possible without your help." Lilia stopped stirring and turned toward him. "Ryou, why do you think Bakura left me in charge?" "I don't know, perhaps it's because he trusts you." "What about you, I mean you've known him longer than I have." Ryou hadn't looked at her for the whole conversation, now though he sighed and faced her. "Lilia you don't have anything to worry about. It took a while for him to trust me, but now that he does, I understand why." "To have gained my master's trust so easily, I would considerate an honor." "Oh, I never thought about that…." "Do you need help with anything else?" "No, I'll be fine." "Of course, Ryou began as he turned to leave maybe it's more than just gaining his trust that you're wondering about." (More than his trust, hmm…) Lilia was glad or honored as Ryou had put it that Bakura trusted her, but was there more to that? She thought back to those days of traveling. He was so strong, confident, and handsome. (I've never met anyone like him, so dangerous and yet so…….desirable.)
(Hmm… so that's why I couldn't find it, it sleeps until its summoned and not a moment before.) Slender fingers eagerly turned at the pages of an old book while eyes skimmed and a clever mind carefully planned. Eyes rested on an object above the room. On the wall was a picture of a young woman of ageless beauty. Everything seemed to stop as full attention was turned to the picture. "Do you have any idea of how much I've missed you, sweet angel?"
*Flashback*
A young man stood by a water fountain, anxiously waiting for someone. His doubts diminished as modesty dressed girl with black hair that was a little passed her shoulders came toward him. "Did you wait long?" "No, Seto said holding her, "I'd wait all night if I had to." "What did you want to tell me," she asked. "I'll be leaving tomorrow." "Oh…" She turned her head not wanting him to see her cry. "I want you to come with me." She turned toward him, "To Egypt, I can't it's forbidden to leave the village, my father would never allow it. "I'm not leaving without my angel." . The Seto bowed and took out a ring, "and my wife if you'll accept me." Isis gasped, "Of course I accept!" He placed the ring on her finger. "I love you." "I love you too." The two young lovers held each other closer and met in a passionate kiss.
*End Flashback*
Thus their happy life began or so they thought…….
*Flashback*
"Your highness surely you don't me to—"The pharaoh raised his hand for silence. "My decision is final, dismissed." He would be without his angel for a while hopefully not too long. (The sooner I go, the sooner I'll be back.) With that he turned to leave.
A week later….
A procession came solemnly out of the temple the day he returned. "What happened?" "The temple was attacked by bandits, but nothing was reported missing or stolen" an old man had told him. Going inside Seto was surprised when everyone began to stare at him. He started approached the altar when one of the moaners stopped him. "You shouldn't…."she began with tears in her eyes. "It's my duty to pray for the deceased, please stand aside. He began to pray, "May you bring this soul to rest with you." He pulled back the linen cloth to sprinkle lotus petals and froze. "No……NO!!!! He held her limp body with tears in his eyes, rocking her back and forth and touching her face. "You're not dead you can't be dead, please love, open your eyes" but his pleas fell on deaf ears as heaven reclaimed their lost angel.
*End Flashback*
"All because of him, if he hadn't sent you away, I could've protected you." "All of Egypt shall reap the punishment of what he did to us, starting with his son. Seto smiled thinking of what he prepared for the pharaoh.
"Tarry a little longer my love, and we'll be together again."
//Indeed, you'll soon be together with her, but not as you suppose.//
Lilia made her way to the garden, sat amongst the flowers, and stared at the full moon. She'd been there for a while now debating with her emotions. (This isn't happening I don't have feelings for Bakura, but if I don't then why do I keep thinking about him. I wish I knew how he felt. ) She rested her head on her knees and shivered. It was a little chilly now, that and the fact that she was wearing a very thin gown. She hadn't come any closer to solving any of her problems. (I should go inside before I freeze out here.) Then Lilia felt something drape over her. Surprised, she soon found herself struggling to untangle herself from it. "Don't tell me you need help getting out," the deep sarcastic voice could only belong to one person. Finally shaking herself free Lilia looked at Bakura, "When did you get back?" "A little while ago" he said sitting next to her, "why are you out here so late?" "Just clearing my head, what about you?" "I was checking on you." "Oh." Lilia turned her head away.
The wind picked up again and sent hair flying into her face. Before she could blink, quick fingers brushed the hair away and entwined themselves in it feeling through the strains. Bakura couldn't believe the softness of her hair. (Like pure silk.) With his free hand he began to pull her closer. Lilia's breathing picked up. (What is he doing?) She tried to pull away but Bakura stopped her and studied her face. Captured by his piercing eyes, a tinge of pink appeared on her cheeks. He smirked (How could someone be this attractive and yet so innocent at the same time?) His gaze fell to her lips as he began to lick his own. (Is he going to kiss me?) Lilia gasped (Oh my…) Bakura closed the gap between them and their lips met in a soft kiss. Lilia parted her lips slightly and Bakura slid his tongue in, gently touching hers. Lilia closed her eyes and moaned she didn't want this stop. "Bakura…." He broke the kiss and laid a finger on her lips. "Goodnight Lilia." He whispered and walked off.
