"Aby-chan, what are you doing," Nabooru asked. It was morning, she figured, and she could hear Abayomi doing something.
"Carving stuff into my pillow," He said boredley.
"With what?" She asked, getting up.
"A dagger..." Said Abayomi.
"A...dagger? WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET A DAGGER?" Nabooru asked.
"Huh?" The sound of the blade cutting into the stone stopped. "Oh. I took it from Bakura when he wasn't looking. He left it on a crate so he could eat, so I grabbed it. I think I'm going to keep it for a while," He said.
Nabooru smiled to herself. She wasn't worried that Abayomi would become a thief... though she was a little worried about what Bakura would do when he found out...
Bakura was suddenly struck by a thought of pure brilliance. Well, not really, but he should have thought of it before. The ropes binding him were made of...well...rope. He could easily cut through them. This is one of the reasons that he kept his dagger in an easily accessible place.
He reached into the pouch that hung around his waist and grabbed...nothing. Nothing at all. He reached into another pouch, and once again, grabbed nothing but a few coins.
He reached into nearly all his pockets, nearly frantic, then frantically searched the floor around him.
He heard the girl moan and looked up to see her roll over in her "sleep" so she faced him. He looked at her for a moment before turning away quickly. 'Crap, crap crap crap!' He thought. Where was his knife when he needed it?
He looked at the girl again. She was cheating somehow. He knew it. Then he remembered that he had given no rules to how the game was played. 'Crap. Crapidy crap crap crap!'
He pulled against the rope, but that only succeeded in making the rope tighter, and now it was cutting into his skin.
He thought about giving in. It was after all only one little kiss. It wouldn't kill him. Then he remembered who he was talking about... one little kiss could me anything from a small peck (Highly unlikely) to near intercourse (Much more likely). He lowered his head and began to gnaw at the ropes.
"Well, what do you want to play now?" Abayomi asked.
Nothing," Nabooru growled. She just lost again.
"Aw, Nabby. You're no fun," Abayomi complained.
"I know a game you can play by yourself," Nabooru said, trying to catch his silhouette again. Once again he had faded into the darkness.
"Really? What?" He asked.
"I don't know what it's really called, but a lot of the kids call it finger filet. Take the dagger, and then really fast, you stab it onto the table or stone underneath your hand, right inbetween your fingers," she said.
"But...I can't see," Said Abayomi, though his voice gave away that he was intrigued by the idea.
"Won't that just add to the excitement?" Abayomi was silent. "Well, I guess it is a little scary. After all, only adults and teenagers play it, and only then when their drunk..." Nabooru said offhandedly, knowing very well that this would get him going.
"I'm not scared," Abayomi said, and soon she heard the knife hitting the stone pillow in rapid succession.
"Aby-chan! Slow down!" She yelled, but he ignored her, speeding up instead.
"This is fun," Abayomi laughed. The blade moved faster. "I can practically feel the metal by my fingers." He laughed loudly.
Nabooru suddenly remembered why this game wasn't played by children. Not only was their hand eye coordination very well, but they also had small hands, which meant small spaces between their fingers.
"Aby-chan! Stop! Or slow down! Or something!" Nabooru cried.
"Aww! But this is so much fun," He said, laughing. He sounded a little insane.
"Abayomi! Stop! You might lose your finger!" She yelled over his laugher.
"You shouldn't have told me that, that only adds to the excitement!" He cried. "Loosen up Nabb- AHHHH!" Abayomi screamed out in pain, and she heard the knife clatter against the stone.
"Abayomi?!" She cried rushing over to him.
The rope snapped, and he grinned widely. One down...he looked down. His face fell. And 15 more to go...
He sighed heavily, and began to chew through the next one. He looked at the covered window, and, since the outside of the curtain was rimmed in red, he knew that it was morning. He wondered how much longer he had to wait until the sun went down again. Then he could get the hell out of this house. Maybe he would visit Abayomi.
Nabooru didn't really like him, but she'd tolerate him as long as he didn't stay over a lot. After all, most of the time she was out with that Anuba kid.
He couldn't go to Jonouchi's house. That much he knew. Jonouchi's dad hated both him and Abayomi. He could understand why he hated Bakura, but could never understand Abayomi.
Now that he thought about it, most of the parents were hesitant to let their kids play with Abayomi.
He shrugged, and began to gnaw away again. He had gotten through another rope, when The Girl woke up. He looked at her.
He opened his mouth to say something, but then remembered why he was tied up in the first place. Instead he yawned, and realized that he hadn't slept at all that night.
The Girl looked at him, and noticed the rope. She smiled sweetly (Bakura laughed at this. He now knew that she was sent from Set in order to torment him) and went to put on her day clothes.
He glared at her back and began to gnaw at the ropes again. When she turned around again, he stopped again, and smiled at her, showing most of his teeth.
She hopped over to him and snuggled up beside him. He briefly wondered what was worse, staying here with... her or angering the Gods by running over to Abayomi's house.
He decided she was, but there was still the matter of him being tied up. He wished her curtains were thicker, so they couldn't see each other. His teeth may be sore, but he wasn't going to give up. He muttered a silent prayer to Set.
Then he smiled at the girl, and rubbed his stomach, indicating he was hungry.
The girl looked at him with a look that said 'You're always hungry,' but got up anyway.
The minute he back was turned, he began to gnaw through the ropes again. Almost...through...the last thread came unraveled. Now he only had 13 to go. He smiled broadly.
The he looked down. Wasn't there usually a key rope, and if he chewed through that, then he would loosen all the other ropes? He mentally smacked himself for not thinking of this sooner.
He pulled on them again, and the middle one seemed tighter than the others. He bent down, at a VERY odd angle, and began to gnaw at that, occasionally looking up to see if The Girl had come back yet.
He was about half way through when...he heard someone tapping their foot. He looked up, and smiled sheepishly at The Girl.
She smiled back, and laid the food at his feet. Bakura looked at her, and flexed his arms, indicating he couldn't use them.
She smiled and began to feed him. He mentally growled. She couldn't just untie him, could she? He took the food from her anyway, occasionally biting her.
Then...he bit his tongue. "Fuck," He cursed under his breath.
"I heard that!" She shouted out, victoriously. "Come here, Bakura-kun," She said. "Pucker up!"
"I'm still tied! Untie me first!" He shouted, pressing tightly against the support beam.
She looked crestfallen, and went to the kitchen. He sighed...until he saw her come back. She had the knife raised maliciously over her head.
She came closer to him. "DON'T DO IT!" He cried, closing his eyes tightly as the knife was brought down.
"Abayomi! Abayomi! Are you OK?" Nabooru asked fearfully, feeling around for him, she felt his leg, and then felt up until she felt his shoulders. His shoulders were shaking, and she knew he was crying.
"Abayomi! Oh my Ra! Are you OK? I should have never made you play that game! Oh! Abayomi!" She hugged him. "Say something Abayomi! Did you lose a finger or something?"
His shoulders shook harder. "Abayomi?" She asked.
He burst out laughing. "AHAHAH!! GOT YOU!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FELL FOR THAT!" He shouted, he doubled over from laughing so hard.
She stared blankly at the spot where she figured he was. Then it seemed to sink in. "ABAYOMI!! YOU JERK!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THAT!" She screamed, jumping to where the laughter was coming from.
She landed on him, and he laughed louder, though he did sound a little winded. "How could you do that?" She asked angrily, punching him where she figured his shoulder was.
"OW!" He yelled out, but he kept laughing so she knew she didn't hurt him that bad.
She suddenly squealed out in delight as Abayomi's finders danced along her side. She laughed, and twisted to get away from him but he kept tickling her.
"Aby-chan! Stop it!" She screamed out.
"Hahah! Revenge! I'll teach you," He said, tickling her more. She rolled onto her side, and he took full advantage of that, sitting on her like she was sitting on him a while ago, and tickling her more.
"Children. Please keep it down, I'm still trying to sleep," Eshe's voice wafted through their door, and Abayomi stopped tickling Nabooru.
"Yes mother," Nabooru said at the same time Abayomi said "Yes Eshe."
They sat in silence for a while. "So...what do you want to play now?" Abayomi asked.
"Nothing. With you anyway. You cheat," Nabooru said.
"I don't cheat!" Abayomi exclaimed.
"Uh huh, sure," Nabooru said.
"I don't...hey, want to play tag?" Abayomi asked.
"Tag? It's pitch black Aby-chan," She answered.
"I know! It's a special kind of tag! You play by listening for the other person, instead of looking for them!" He said. "It doesn't so much work in a small space like your room, because sound doesn't really have time to get bigger or whatever, but since there's only two of us, it should work..."
Nabooru was silent. "OK!" She tapped him. "You're it!"
She ran aways and listened for Abayomi. She didn't hear anything except his very light breathing. Very light. All most as if he were trying to hold it. She shifted a little on her feet, to get more comfortable, and with that, she heard him get up, and run to her. He tapped her. "You're it," He said simply and then ran off.
She tried to use the same technique that he did, but her breathing was to heavy, and he was to quiet. He took a step blindly in the direction he had run off, and quickly after, she heard another step, echoing her own. She couldn't be sure if it really was just an echo to her step, or if it was Abayomi, so she ignored it, and took another step. Once again, it was echoed.
She turned towards the direction of the echoing steps, and took another step. Once again it was echoed.
"Aby-chan. I'm never playing another game with you again," She said.
Bakura squeezed his eyes closed at the blade whistled past his ear, but opened them as the rope the bound him slackened. He looked up at The Girl.
She smiled back at him. "OK Bakura. You said any kiss of my choosing, right?" She said, tilting her head, cutely.
"Yes...Any kiss you your choosing," Bakura said, eyeing her warily. Please don't let it be anything horrible, please don't let it be anything horrible, please don't let it be anything horrible, he chanted over and over again mentally.
"Now, 'Kura, take off you clo-" She started.
"LATER!" He yelled and pushed her away.
He stopped as he reached to door. To leave...or not to leave...He looked behind him and saw what's-her-face getting up. He ran out the door....
Poke. Poke. Glare. Poke. Poke. Glare.
"Nabby! Why are you mad at me?" Abayomi asked, poking Nabooru again. Once again, she glared at him.
"Because you cheat!" She pouted.
"HOW CAN YOU CHEAT IN TAG?" He asked angrily.
"I don't know! But somehow you did!" She answered back, equally as angry.
They both huffed and went into an angry silence.
Abayomi got up suddenly. "I'm going out," He said.
"You can't go out! It's still daytime!" She said.
"Does it look like I care?" Snapped Abayomi.
"I don't know, I can't see you now can I? Now quit asking stupid questions and proclaiming to do stupid things, and sit down! Play finger filet and cut off your fingers for all I care," She growled. "But if you walk out that door, I swear I'll make Mama disown you."
Abayomi stopped moving, though she wasn't sure if she'd gotten through to him.
"Do you hear that?" He asked.
She closed her eyes and listened.
"It sounds like...someone's outside," She said.
Abayomi nodded, well aware that she couldn't see him. He walked over to the window, though he dared remove the curtain. "Who's there?" He called out.
There was no answer. Both he and Nabooru sighed. It was probably just a miw, after all, what human would be stupid enough to go outside today?
"'Yomi. Is that you?" Came Bakura's voice from outside the window.
"'KURA?!" He cried out in surprise. Nabooru was equally surprised.
"Yeah, it's me. Listen, do you think you could let me in...I'm a little freaked out that there's no one outside, and I seriously don't want to piss off the Gods anymore," He said through the window.
"Uh..Yeah. Come in. Warn us when you open Nabooru's door though, OK?" Abayomi said, still caught off guard. He heard Bakura walk towards the door. "Ok, and 'Kura?" He asked. Bakura stopped walking and Abayomi heard him turn on his heal.
"Yes, Aba'?" Bakura anwsered.
"Do you think that you could get me and Nabby some food? Give some to Eshe too please," Abayomi said.
"Ok Bud," Bakura said. "Nabby?" Then he began to laugh. Soon they heard him walk through the door and dig through some of the food in the kitchen.
"Hey, Eshe?" He asked, directly across from the room Nabooru and Abayomi were in.
"Bakura? Is that you?" Eshe's voice asked.
"Yeah. How's the baby doing?" He asked.
"Pretty OK," Eshe answered.
"That's good. I was wondering if you would like some food. I was out here anyway, and I thought you would like some? Well, actually Abayomi did, but, hey, I'm the one who got it," Bakura laughed.
Eshe laughed also. "Bring it in Bakura," She said.
"OK, cover up, it's awfully bright out here," They heard him walk into the room, and set something down. Then he left, closing the door behind him (The Pharaoh, in a sudden gesture of generosity, had opted to by them wooden doors instead of the skins they were using. Of couse, Abayomi had no idea why) then knocked on Nabooru's door. "Yo, I'm comin' in. Cover up," He said.
Nabooru and Abayomi complied, both pulling their blankets over their heads.
Bakura paused for a moment, before bursting out laughing. Then he closed the door behind him.
"What's so funny?" Abayomi asked.
"Seeing you two...hiding underneath the...blankets....like children...afraid that a monster...would come for...them," Bakura said inbetween laughs, he tossed them each a peice of bread and a dessert fruit.
"What are you doing outside? What are you, crazy?" Nabooru snapped.
"Something came up at the house I was staying at," He said simply.
"Yeah! You probably got kicked out for stealing everything in sight," Nabooru sneered.
"At least I didn't get kicked out of a house for making out with the mans son," Bakura snapped back.
"I didn't either. I don't know whom you could be thinking about," Nabooru said, coldly.
"Hey! Um...So..." Abayomi said, as Bakura and Nabooru continued to throw back insults. They ignored him.
"Hey! I just noticed the sky's blue!" He said loudly. Both Nabooru and Bakura went silent.
Then at the same time the both burst out laughing. "What are you? Stupid or something?" Bakura asked between laughs.
"I have to agree with him on this one. What's that matter with you?" Nabooru asked.
"It got you guys to stop fighting, didn't it?" He asked, quite pleased. The two of them stopped laughing. "I won again," He finished, and he felt them both glare at him. "Aw, you're both just sore losers." He huffed.
"Hey, Bakura," Said Nabooru. Abayomi looked to where her voice was coming from. What was she up too? "Guess what Aby-chan has?"
Abayomi suddenly knew what she was up to. He fingered the knife, that was laying under his blanket.
"Aby-chan? Who the hell is Aby-" Bakura stopped his sentence. "Yomi?" He asked in surprise. "Hmm...Aby-chan. It suits you," He finished mockingly.
"Whatever you say Bahby-chan," Abayomi shot back.
Bakura shut up. Nabooru on the other hand... "Bahby-chan! Ee! I'm going to have to call you that from now on!" She squealed, knowing that that would piss off Bakura beyond belief.
"Be quiet, Nabby," He sneered. And, she was.
"So, what does Aba' have?" He asked.
"Oh, just your knife..." Nabooru said, off-handedly.
Abayomi mentally cursed her. It was bad enough that she beat on him now and then (He wouldn't hit her back because she was a girl), but she didn't need his best friend beating on him too.
"Oh, does he now?" Bakura said, his voice sounding awfully threatening to Abayomi's ears.
He stepped closer to Abayomi, and Abayomi could see the outline of his body.
Abayomi closed his eyes, and then he heard Bakura flop down beside him. "Thanks, Aba', I thought I lost it back at that crate. I'm glad you found it for me, it's my favorite knife," Bakura said. Abayomi smiled in relief, and handed over the knife.
"What? That's not what happened! Abayomi swiped it from you!" Nabooru cried out. She was still a little angry at Abayomi from earlier.
"No he didn't. Because we're friends and Abayomi here isn't the type to steal from his friends. Unless, of course, he was worried about them. But me and him made a promise, so I don't see why he should be worried," Bakura said, a smile in his voice. Abayomi smiled. That much was true enough.
Abayomi looked at the window, and realized that the animal skins no longer were rimmed in red.
"Hey! I think Ra's gone away now," He said. Bakura and Nabooru looked.
"I'll check," Said Bakura getting up from beside Abayomi. He went to the door and opened it, and saw that it was, indeed dark. "Yeah, it's dark out."
Abayomi joined him at the door. "Finally I can get some real food. Like meat!" He said. He loved (Cooked) meat, ever since it was aloud to be consumed by the commoner again. The rule against meat had been revoked shortly after Eshe's trial.
"Yeah! Meat! You got any good stuff?" Bakura said, rushing to the kitchen.
"Yeah, we probably have raw meat somewhere. Just a minute, I'm going to get Eshe," Abayomi said. "In the mean time help yourself to..." Abayomi stopped himself. "In the mean time, let Nabooru give you some food."
He went through Eshe's room, and in a few minutes, he had helped Eshe up, and the two of them were walking back into the kitchen, where Bakura was already wolfing down his food.
Eshe smiled at them. Soon, she hoped, there would be another one in the family. That is, if it survived.
Bakura loved the food at Abayomi's house. Especially the bread. Eshe made the bread herself, and it was aways good, always fluff (Considering how course bread was).
He tore at a peice of meat, and was quite please when he say Nabooru turn a pale shade of green. He looked at everyone at the table. They were as close to a family as he was going to get, and he knew it. He was glad too, he couldn't ask for a better one. He couldn't wait to see the child Eshe was going to birth, though he did wonder whose child it was. He hoped that the child was going to survive. He had witnessed death while he was young, and he didn't want Abayomi to have to see the same thing. Even though, he knew that Abayomi had already seen it, he didn't want him to have to see more. At least not until he was older...
He looked at Abayomi. He seemed happy enough, but something was different today. He could see it in his eyes, something that should be there. Bakura couldn't put his finger on it, but he had the feeling it had something to do with being cooped up with Nabooru all day. There was also something else, a kind of pain, but not emotional. Physical. He wondered what it was, maybe just hunger pains?
His gaze moved down to Abayomi's hand. his left one was covered with part of his clothes. He didn't really think anything of it, but for some odd reason, every now and then, he'd look back at his covered hand.
Then, as Abayomi reached for some bread, the cloth fell away, revieling his had, with a deep cut, not very long, and it had missed the big veins near the top of his hand. But it was there, and it was still bleeding slightly.
Bakura pulled his blade out of his pocket, and saw there, a very thin hardly noticable coat of fresh, red blood.

~~~~~~~~REVIEW REPLIES~~~~~~~~~
S.A Bonasi: *To review on Ch. 16*
Opps, look like I posted the chapter a few minutes too early ^-^;;
Lol, in the manga, weren't they beginning to second guess Akunamakanon's reason's for the Sennen Item's, after Bakura told them all what the item's could do? Meh, maybe I was imagining it. I know, I like the name Aishisu too. It's so pretty ^-^ About the whole Seth thing, I'm guessing probably someone who didn't know better used Seth, because they thought it sounded Egyptian. Then someone else say it, and used it, and its one of those things where it keeps going until people see it enough, and think that it's true.
Bakura Ishtar:
*Glares* My cookies were not poisonous! See, I fed it to my cousins! *Points at three little kids moaning in there beds* ...THEY GOT THE FRIGGIN' FLU OK? *Crying so people with good hearing across the boarder and across the country can hear me*
Meroko:
Lol. I'm pretty sure that you can get chapters at a website, there should be a link in S.A Bonasi's bio (I already told you that, didn't I =.=) lol, I believe the site is called Jenniah's Scannalation's or something like that. Then you get to see if Bakura's mean =P Lol. Apparently Bakura agrees with you on the girl cheating (Bakura nodds). Lol, in my gr. 6 class, we played 21 Questions. The whole class would ask whomever was up, and they'd be a person, and the class had to figure out who they were. But they told someone else, so they couldn't cheat. Since there was only two people in the room...yeah. Theres that, then there's the mineral thingy that you said, and theres another one, where someone is someone, and they have to ask to find out who they are (I hope that wasn't too confuzzling wording). Lol, I like big reviews ^-^
Millennium:
For where to get the Manga, see Meroko's review reply ^. Yeah, I don't really know Egyptian. Thanks for the words ^-^ I'll use them when I can. And if you'd like too, yeah, I wouldn't mind more ^-^ And, for your helpfullness, heres a cookie *Gives him/her a cookie* and contrary to popular belief... THEY ARE NOT POISONOUS *Glares at Ishtar-chan*
KingOfHearts NCKRAM:

Pharaoh Yami: *Crying*
Kaira-chan: Unfortuanatly, in this story, yes, mine and the Pharaoh's wedding were called off because of YAMI KAIRA *Glares*
Yami Kaira: Haha =P
