Chapter thirteen: Ryou's side of the story
Mary-Jane awoke the next morning with a sharp pain in her neck. She remembered that Marikku had found her and brought her back to the little wooden house.
She got up from the bed she had slept in and made her way to the window combing her hair with her fingers at the same time. She gazed out and nothing had changed. The Nile was still very beautiful, the sand still golden, the same Ancient Egypt that never changed...
What was odd is that M-J had not even given thought to her father or to her house. She didn't care about her father and was even very happy not having him there to depend on or help her out of the mess she was in. She had always gotten herself out of whatever she was in and this was just another thing she had to do.
As she thought about everything and nothing, the door of her room opened and a Rare Hunter stepped in. He put a tray of food on a little table and left the room. M-J was beginning to miss her school, and her new friends. She still asked herself why she had been the one to have the Scarab.
Why not someone else? All the object brought was loss, destruction, hate, rage. Yet, after all that, she was still able to put on a happy face and smile as if nothing bad ever happened. That was why she was the protector of the Item.
She smiled at her native nation. Ancient Egypt was great. It was all one could imagine and much more. The hours passed and M-J hadn't moved from her spot next to the window. Then the door opened once again. This time it wasn't a Rare Hunter, but Marikku. The stepped in and leaned on a wall, his arms crossed. Mary-Jane finally snapped out of her daze and turned around.
"I see that you have awaked. Good. And you haven't tried to escape, I'm impressed. It will not be long now. In another two days, the Ritual will take place.
-What have you done to Ryou? Where is he?
-Patients. Ryou is fine, for the moment. He is in this house right now. As is Bakura. He cannot wait to sacrifice his little weak aibou to get his own body. I came here to tell you that if you wanted to see the boy, well that I would take you. I thing that you do want to see him don't you? He smirked.
-Yes I do, answered simply M-J
-Very well then, come."
He motioned her to come and she did. They walked down the stairs and to what seemed like a basement. At the door of a room, Bakura was waiting for them
"So, you brought the girl. Now come. I'm sure that there is no trouble in letting you catch up with him since the Ritual will happen in two days, he laughed.
-Not funny you albino, answered Mary-Jane under her breath.
-What did you say you little wench?! Asked Bakura.
-Nothing! It's not my fault you hear voices! She protested.
-You'll pay for that remark, responded Bakura giving her his famous "evil eye"
-Let's just get this over with you baka, responded Marikku getting annoyed
-Fine"
And Bakura opened the door to show a boy with white hair. Ryou.
Mary-Jane stepped in the room and the door was locked behind her. Ryou then jerked around (jerk=fast movement) and smiled as he saw her walk up and take a seat on the floor next to where he had been sitting.
M-J was happy to know that he was safe, but she couldn't smile much considering the fact that his being here was all her fault. For a few minutes, there was a long silence in the room. Nothing was said, the teens were just looking at each other. Then M-J spoke up.
"How are you Ryou?
-Not to bad. I'm just a little worried. I still can't believe that we are in Ancient Egypt. I mean I knew Marikku had great powers, but not great enough to bring us back in this period and my yami... Can you tell me what will happen to us?
-Sure considering the fact that this is entirely my fault. In two days, we will be taken to the Sacred Temple to be sacrificed. And you were brought here with me because you're the Second sacrifice.
-But what is Bakura doing here?
-Marikku told me that he is going to get his own body after the sacrifice; I think its part of the second stage of this Ritual. But how did you get here?
-It was night time when I came home. There, in the Shadows, was Bakura. He had been waiting for me for a while. He was in semi-transparent form, but when he hit me it felt quite real. All I remember is that I woke up in this boat. Bakura came in soon after to see if I was still alive.
-Well I'm really sorry for getting you in this all.
-It's all right; I'm always in the middle of these things! He said giving her a big smile."
Just then the door opened again to show Marikku. He stood leaning on it.
"Time to go back to your room, girl, he said with a smile.
-I'll see you soon Ryou. Take care.
-Yes, you too."
With that, M-J walked to the door and Marikku brought her back in her room and locked her door.
Yay! I have 54 reviews! I can't believe this. I'm somewhat close to 100! Well here I am, on my Easter break. It started the 8th of April and I've got all the week after Saturday and Sunday. So I'll be sure to update for you all. I still don't get why my chapters are so BLOODY SHORT! Ja'ne
