Chapter 3: The Search
Somewhere Lower Egypt
"Ahhh!!!... Malik I can't take this anymore, she's been missing for three days what are we going to do" Malik watched his twin brother Bakura grasping some of his hair and pulling them while screaming.
"Shut up! ... I'm thinking... and stop pulling your hair by the end of this day you'll be bald by what you are doing!" he snarled crossing his arms over his chest.
"We have no choice left, we have to search for our dear sister ourselves and even the guard's can't find her" said Malik
"But Where...?" asked Bakura impatiently
"I...I don't know and I don't care if we had to search the whole Egypt for as long as we find her and wherever she is I'm sure she's ok and she'll take care of herself"
So the brothers packed bringing water, food and some of their clothes and begin their search for their sister Anzu who's been missing for three days but unknown to them she's just around the palace serving as a slave to the Pharaoh and also thinking about them.
=Malik's POV=
That night that I went to my sisters bedroom, I noticed that she wasn't there so I decided to leave but I noticed a paper on her bedside table addressed to me and my twin brother Bakura so I pick up the letter and read
Dear Malik and Bakura,
I know by the time you're reading this I must be very far away, I'm sorry for running away but please do understand, I run away because I've learned that Mother and Father have arranged a marriage for me, not intentionally but I heard them talking just I was passing by their room, I was shocked, the thought of being arranged to someone I don't even know was definitely the biggest mistake. I hope you understand, the thought leaving you breaks my heart. I Love you and I'm Sorry for running away like that.
Love,
Anzu
Just as I have finished reading Anzu's letter I was speechless she have truly grown up but then at the same time I was shocked Mother and Father was going to tell her about the betrothal but too late, now she knows, and by the look of the things she didn't like it, so I decided to leave her room along with the letter and find my brother and I found him walking out from a room with his hair messed up with a huge grin on his face, I rolled my eyes "Here we go again doing the same habit of dildoing a servant... he just can't control himself" I thought, so I walk to him and give the letter for him to read and of course same reaction as mine.
=Bakura's POV=
I didn't know what to say after reading Anzu's letter that Malik gave to me
Later that night Mother and Father asked as where Anzu is, we told them that Anzu heard them talking about the betrothal and that she run away, of course they were feeling guilty that they've never told Anzu early about the betrothal and with that they sent some of our guards to find our sister but they were in vain so Bakura and I decided that we should find her ourselves and here we are...
=Normal POV=
Night finally came so the brothers decided to take some rest as soon as they set foot on the oasis they've found, for the next day will be a long day.
Morning
As soon as Ra had risen from the underworld Malik and Bakura continued their journey, they've searched everywhere in Lower Egypt but in vain, so they decided to try their luck on the Upper Egypt where the Pharaoh resided, since they were in Upper Egypt they should pay a little visit to the Pharaoh.
As they were out side the palace gates they called upon the guard situated at the gate.
"Lord Malik and Bakura wishes to speak to the Pharaoh Yami, open the gate!" Malik said to the guard that nodded and opened the gate for the Lords to come in.
Pharaoh Yami sat in his throne when a guard came in and bowed "What is it?" he said.
"Lord Malik and Lord Bakura from Lower Egypt wishes to speak to you M'lord" the guard stated after a quick bow
"Escort them to the meeting room and prepared some refreshments for them" Pharaoh Yami ordered, so the guard bowed and left the throne room.
in the meeting room
"Oh, I see, so that's why you're traveling nowadays" Pharaoh Yami remarked as he heard the news from the Ishtar's that their sister was missing.
"We've searched all over Lower Egypt but we still couldn't find her..." said Bakura with a sound of worry in his voice.
"So that's why we're taking our chances that we might find her here... your highness" Malik said sipping some of his drink.
"Tell me, why did she run away?" he asked eyeing the Ishtars
"Your highness... she run away because..." Malik couldn't continue as he feared what the reaction of the Pharaoh might be, so Bakura interrupt
"Because she knew by accidental about the Betrothal..." he trailed as the Pharaoh's eyes grew wide upon hearing the reason, the Pharaoh knew about the betrothal but he never asked to whom... as he seemed to be uninterested but what can he do, his parents have just set him up to someone without his consent.
"Accidental, what do you mean accidental?" Pharaoh Yami asked, Malik and Bakura look at each other, sigh and decided to tell the story. When they've finished...
"So that's why we're searching for her now" Bakura said frustrated.
