Promise To Kill Is A Promise Kept

Goku never said a word about my decision and I was happy for once he knew what was going on and knew when to keep his Mouth shut.

Pharaoh said, "Follow us."

I followed quietly not making a sound. I was an extreme klutz until you got me angry or focused. My brother on the other hand was not nimble as me in fact he usually walked a lot louder when he was mad intending on letting the whole world know he was angry.

They lead us to a very plush room. It had a big dinning table in it, dark purple carpets, sofa and chairs a sat a couple of yards away from the dinning table. The sofas looked as if they had been imported as did the table between the sofa and the armchair.

I spoke not at all afraid to speak, "There are only 3 rooms down here and I'm assuming they're yours so were do we sleep."

The man with long white hair said, "you can sleep of on the floor for all I care just don't come anywhere near my room."

"And like we would want to I swear some men just can't over them selves." I said.

"They will be staying in Bakura's room," said the Pharoah.

I could hear the one known as Bakura grumbling under his breath but he did not voice his protests.

"I suppose we should at least introduce ourselves. I'm Yami also known as...."

He never got to finish his sentence because I interrupted him, "Pharaoh. We know and from the looks of these two I'd say the one who's supporting you is your second mate and the one who my brother kneed in the groin is your first mate,."

I glanced at the first and second mates and then the Pharaoh himself. "You are correct. He's known as Malik," he looked in Malik's direction, "and he is known as Bakura," he looked towards Bakura.

Yami walked over to the door on the left hand side and said, "this is the room you will be staying in."

Yami and Bakura hobbled into the room while Malik fallowed behind making sure they didn't collapse in pain. I couldn't wipe the smug look of happiness I had on my face off. To be totally honest I was happy I kneed him in the groin and quite happy that my brother kneed Bakura in the groin too. I mean the guy did try to stab my brother with a hot sword. He probably would have to if I have to if I hadn't of come along.

The room was all black with one window. A large bed sat on the floor that had only a black sheet and a large black cover on it. The bed took up most of the space in the room but they left a little space for a simple round coffee table and chairs to go. Weapons lined the walls. They started to remove all the weapons.

"Don't want you getting any ideas" said Bakura.

That's when I saw weapon that would be perfect to steal. It looked kind a like a diamond made out of iron, on the bottom side of the diamond there was a loop that looked like you were suppose to attach it to something.

The weapon I saw.
(For now on I'm going to call this weapon my dagger.)
(I'm the only one who uses this weapon in this fic.)

I only saw 50 of this particular weapon and intended to at least steal twenty. I used my skilled fingers that were practiced from years of stealing to quickly grab two handfuls of the weapons that were as long as my hand but barely as thick as two of my fingers. I shoved some of them in my brother's pockets and the rest under my shirt. I was glad when they left out of the room. I thought they would notice the missing daggers.

I brought out the 20 daggers and handed my brother 5 of them.

"Here Goku these are for you stay here I have to go up top really quick stay here okay."

"Why do I have to stay here I want to go with you and what if that crazy Pharaoh and his lackeys come back."

"I'm giving you these daggers to protect yourself with. You can't go with me it's to dangerous I be right back. I promised mom I would protect you and that's what I'm going to do."

"Alright just hurray up. But before you go I want to know something what is so important that you would risk your life just to go upstairs?"

"Well remember the two gerbils that we carried with us while we were still traveling. I brought them on the ship with me and I hid them up top. I'm also very sure that my parakeet is hovering above the ship. I heard her call a little while ago."

"Hurray up and go then I don't want the animals to get hurt. Go and get them."

"Alright I'm going."

I walked over to the door and pulled a hair pen from my hair and started to pick the lock. When I was finished I opened the door and just as I was leaving my brother said, "Serenity wait."

I turned around and said, "Yeah."

"She's really gone. Mom I mean there's no coming back. I mean after all the close calls we've had I thought we would surely be the ones to go first"

She walked closer and wrapped her arms around him and said, "But I promise you they will pay. Now I have to go I'll be right back."

"Okay. Just hurray," he replied back.

I quickly walked past the living room and past the sleeping Bakura on the couch. I snickered when I saw this. Apparently Yami wasn't too happy about the rude remark he made towards us about sleeping on the couch. 'Serves him right,' I thought.

I continued on and started up the stairs to the deck. It was so quiet and I figured it had to be sometime around 11. The first thing I was made little squeaking sounds and immediately two little gerbils came running out. I bent down and let them crawl up my arm to rest on my shoulder.

"Two down and one to go," I said to myself, "Now you guys might want to close your ears."

Then she screamed it sounded light a hawk's cry. It was beautiful and yet ear shattering at the same time. It made onlookers want to listen knowing full well if they listened to long it might cause their ear drums to explode.

Just then I heard a bird cry off in the distance. I threw my left hand into the air and a small parakeet perched on my hand. She was carrying a dagger with a golden jeweled hilt. (This time I mean a regular dagger.) This dagger had the most beautiful sheaf. The sheaf was covered in my writing the writing of the gypsy's. Nobody knows where her language originated from and I knew how to speak many languages but I had never seen something so beautiful in my life. My bird Para also carried with her a golden compass. It was also decorated beautifully but had no writing on it like her dagger.

"Thank you Para. For these gifts I can't imagine how you carried them this far but you did and for that I thank you. Goku will be most pleased with you. And you two Kinker and Linker I'm just glad you're safe. When I told you to run I thought for sure I was going to die but it's not like I've never had that feeling before."

Both of her little gerbils nuzzled into her neck at the mention of her leaving them. They had know her since they were first born only a two years ago and she had gotten her parakeet Para only a year ago when she stole her from a restaurant that was planning on eating her.

"Do you really think you should be up here by yourself," a voice said from behind me and on instinct I slipped the valuable under my shirt and pulled out one of my special daggers I had stolen. Not wanting to make who ever this was aware that I had a weapon I curled my fingers around it to conceal it.

"Yami how good of you to join me I was wondering how long you would stay in that corner," she said with her back stilled turned on him facing the water.

"So you knew I was here all along."

"Of course."

"How'd you know," he said with a smug sense of superiority that I was puzzled by since I had just caught him spying.

"It's my job to know."

"That still doesn't answer my question."

"That's the point," I responded back and casually walked back to Bakura's room. I slammed the door right behind me knowing that Yami was fallowing close behind and in effect waking up Malik and Bakura.

"What the heck was that," Malik said emerging from his room.

"Damn girl we should just lock her in that room. Scratch that lock her in Yami's room."

"I'm guessing that our new guests are the ones that woke me up," Malik said in a tired and irritated voice.

"That girl was the one making all that racket. I mean it is 2 am shouldn't he be sleeping like a normal person and how the heck did she get out of her room in the first place that lock was made to hold me in. I can't even break out of it and I'm a tomb robber"

"I'm not sure myself but there's something about that girl and I think we should watch out for her I think she could be a threat to us. After she did promise that she would get us back for the killing of her mother," Yami said.

"Then why did we let her and her brother live," Malik asked. "I'm not sure. But she has something to do with our items I'm sure of it," Yami responded back.

"You really think so," said Malik.

"I do."

"Can we please go back to bed and just ask the girl in the morning," Bakura said with an extra strain on the word please.

"Fine lets go to bed," said Yami.

Everyone proceeded back to there rooms and Bakura headed back to the couch. That's when the door creaked open and two heads popped out from Bakura's door.

"Come on let's go. They're asleep now. We have to do the ceremony before they wake up and I can't believe that Pharaoh was listening in on us when we were talking so be quiet and whisper," said Serenity.

"Okay I'll be quiet," said Goku.

They snuck up to the top deck and on the way there they had grabbed a candle in a dish as a guiding light for the ceremony. They let the candle drift out to sea hoping that the gypsy legend that a candle would light the way for any lost loved ones. They hoped their mother would come back.

They walked beck to their room and shut the door quietly. Serenity relocked the door so they wouldn't suspect anything and went to bed. Goku fell right asleep tired from crying and spent emotions. Serenity on the other hand was restless but eventually feel asleep too.
