That last day had passed and it was now the morning of the next, Senenet was out at an oasis at that particular time in the morning. She sighed quietly breathing in the hot air of the Egyptian deserts and the rays of the sun beat down upon her keeping her warm but for once not overly so.
"Arg, I really should be getting back though I really do wonder…how do I feel about him," she was of course referring to Bakura.
---Yami---
The pharaoh sat at his gold clad thrown with his head guard before him, "You are to go there and bring top me, alive, Bakura, take anyone else that is there, prisoner." The guard bowed low and muttered a yes and then hurried off to go and storm Bakura's house.
'When I had gone there I had expected to find a tomb robber, not a maiden such as that girl, Senenet. Once Bakura is out of the way maybe she will be mine, if not, there's always force.' Yami smirked as these thoughts ran themselves over in his mind, one following the next; since he'd seen Senenet he hadn't stopped thinking about her.
---Senenet, some time later---
The house was finally in sight and she sighed in relief, walking around tot eh front where the door was. She was surprised and confused when she saw the door hanging from one hinge and swinging in the wind. She walked inside and gasped, everything was a mess; the furniture was turned over, pottery smashed and all else in disarray. "Oh by Ra," she exclaimed as she looked around with wide eyes, a sudden flashback caused her to take a sudden intake of breath.
---Flashback---
She watched intently as Bakura straddled Yami, she saw around his neck a golden necklace with the eye of Ra on it. Only two people wore that, the Pharaoh and the High Priest, this boy was no mere messenger but the Pharaoh himself.
---End Flashback---
"That bastard, he's taken Bakura," she cried sinking to the floor and holding her knees close to her chest, tears weld up in her eyes.
---Flashback---
"If there's one thing you need to not do in any situation is cry, think about it logically before deciding there is nothing you can do," Bakura said.
"But it's too hard," Senenet whine one tear rolling down her cheek.
"Grow up," he slapped her hard bringing her to her sense, "now try again."
---Flashback---
"Alright," she stood up and walked out of the door, "I might not actually be able to do anything but the least I can do is try." With that she set of at a sprint towards the palace, 'Bakura, you've been my friend for too long now for me to stand by and watch as your put to death, love just doesn't work that way.'
---Yami---
Yami watched with a smirk on his face and an insane gleam in his eye as he watched two guards drag and kicked and yelling Bakura into the throne room. "Let me go you bastards, let go of me!" he yelled kicking one of the guards in the groin and managing to wriggle of their grasps.
He made a run for the door when he felt himself lifted of his feet and held upside down in mid air as Yami got up and walked towards him as the two guards helped each other up. "Do you realise the penalty for your crimes tomb robber, Bakura," Yami asked, venom lacing his voice.
"Yes, it's death and I don't care," was Bakura's answer, he wasn't worried about the blood rushing to his head, but he was worried about Senenet. For some unknown reason, he seemed to be having a sixth sense, he seemed to just feel that one of the reasons Yami sent guards to capture him was also to get Senenet.
"Oh don't you, what if I told you I had your little girlfriend?" Yami inquired peering at Bakura lazily whose eyes registered brief shock before going angry again.
"I will not believe you lest you show her to me," Bakura growled eyes challenging Yami al on their own.
"As you wish," Yami clicked his fingers and two more guards bought in a girl that looked like Senenet, she looked week and a bit beat up.
"Bakura," she whispered, "help me," a guard then put a sword to her throat and she coughed a trail of blood running down her neck.
"Senenet," Bakura breathed, trailing off and he stopped struggling, looking away from Yami as best he could, he was defeated know.
"Take him away, well execute him when Ra has gone across the sky, no need to involve the people," Yami said and Bakura was released form the binding spell that had previously held him up. The two guards that had brought him in with such resistance now took him out without even a sound or one movement against them.
The two guards then let go of Senenet who was surrounded by orange sparkles and in her place stood a boy, taller than Yami, with shaggy blonde hair and honey brown eyes. "Well done Jou, I thank you for your help," Yami said smirking and the boy, Jono, a healer, nodded and walked out of the room with his two guards.
---Senenet---
She was in the city now and she saw everyone heading for a big stand, she followed and a saw a man with some armour on standing upon the stage. "People of Egypt, you will be happy to know that Bakura is caught at last," there was a large amount of cheering from the crowd and one girl standing with wide eyes. "He will be executed when Ra has gone across the sky, there will be a party tonight to celebrate the Pharaoh's victory," more cheering and soon people were dashing about tog et ready for the 'party'.
The guards began to walk away and Senenet followed them, eventually arriving at the palace gates. She was able to sneak in unnoticed, another talent she had learned from Bakura, along with many others including how to fight. Senenet looked up and saw stairs dotting the sky and Ra was now in what we call the Western sky, she grinned, almost time.
A harsh command uttered through the soundless evening and she headed towards it, she saw Yami on a throne born on the shoulders of four men. Walking by its side was a man she assumed was the high priest, a guy with a sword stood over a wooden block with an indent in it. She gasped silently when two guards brought out Bakura who wasn't even putting up half a fight, 'Something's wrong.'
Bakura's hands were tied behind his back and his head was forced down into the indent, making him go on his knees. He closed his eyes and Senenet felt her heart stop, she couldn't let him be killed, but what could she do?
---Bakura, Bakura's P.O.V---
I made no resistance as they dragged me to my death, I'd willing sacrifice myself if it meant Senenet would not be harmed. However, I know yami will hurt her but what can I do, he has her and me, but what good am I to anyone in this sorry state? It hurt a little when my neck was forced violently onto wood but I didn't cry out in nay form, I would not allow Yami that satisfaction.
I looked up briefly to see a man with a sword raise the gleaming object above his head, I turned my eyes to the ground I didn't want to see my death or my failure…I heard the swoosh as the blade came down and closed my eyes awaiting death…but it never came.
"What's this?" I heard Yami yell and I heard the four men yelp as he stood up, they crumpled to the floor, most of them with broken bones from the look of things. I'm on my feet now looked at my would-be executioner, but he's got a hole right through his heart and is bleeding badly.
Wait a second, oh no, why didn't I run? Now I'm back in mid air and Yami has his sword drawn, I really am in for it now, the High Priest has run, to where I have no clue. "You will die tomb robber," Yami growls at me looked at me with fire in his eyes; there's no escape this time.
"Not if I can help it," both our heads snap in the direction for the voice and my eyes go wide as I see Senenet standing there.
---Senenet, Senenet's P.O.V---
I watched as the sword came down and suddenly my arms moved on there own one moved back and the other seemed to hold something, a crackling golden bow appeared in my gripping hand. A silver arrow of pure light appeared in my other and before I knew it I had released the arrow and it went straight through the executioners heart.
I was practically jumping for joy but now I realise we, Bakura, and me aren't out of the desert just yet. Yami advancing on Bakura who's now suspended in mid air, I hear him yell something incoherent but here my self yells back, "Not if I can help it."
"What, how did you get in here?" Yami demands and I glare at him.
"Through your bad security," I fire another arrow at him but he steps back avoiding it, however, his lack of concentration does cause him to release Bakura how runs over to me.
"How are you doing that?" he asks me with wide eyes but he also looks glad to see me, and I'm glad to see him at all, let alone alive.
"Now is not the time to explain," I said grabbing his hand and pulling him along as I run for al I'm worth avoiding guards and somehow managing to get out of the palace grounds. We both turn are heads when a loud roar sounds above us and we look up to see the most terrifying thing I've ever seen. It's in the shape of a snake, but red, with a black belly, hind legs and arms, a dragon's head and two mouths. Sharp fangs are clearly seen through both and it doesn't look friendly.
The…thing…opens it's top, second, mouth and fires a blue ball at us, "Get out of the way," Bakura cries grabbing me around the waist and jumping far away from the blast. Rolling over we both scramble to our feet and begin to run again, we were losing energy faster now that the dragon kept firing at us.
When things seemed bad, they just got worse, we turned when the sound of a horses hooves and sand meeting met our ears. Yami was gaining on us fast and on a horse no less, he seemed to controlling the dragon and Bakura and me were both running out of energy.
In a desperate attempt to get us out of trouble I fired an arrow at Yami, it was a direct hit to his should, he cried out in pain and covered his bleeding shoulder with him hand. The shock also caused him to fall of his horse, it ran and came up beside us, and before it could go further Bakura grabbed the flying rains.
He jumped up onto it's back and turned the horse, grabbing my outstretched hand and hauling me up. No words were uttered at that moment, we were in too much danger to care much about talking then I turned at waist so I could see the dragon. It had landed but soon took flight again and I was horrified to find Yami standing on its head and the dragon getting all too close for my taste.
It was pathetic but it was the last thing I could think of doing, as Bakura spurred the horse on faster I aimed an arrow at the dragon and fired, it hit one of it's large wings, going right through and the dragon roared in pain. Yami turned to look and while he was distracted I sent another arrow at him, I saw him clutch his arm, at least I think he did, it was too high.
However I continued to aim arrows at Yami and the dragon's wing and soon I saw it and him plummeting too the ground, Yami was on his side and obviously unconscious. I felt tired, very tired, I turned and slipped my arms around Bakura's waist, resting my head on his back as I too slipped into unconsciousness.
Next chapter will be the last and then I'll start with some of the sequels to my stories and I'll continue with my Metropolis one. Kay ppl, bye! ^_~
