Stealing a heart
Neferi: I'm back with the second chapter and guess who's gonna host it with me for the rest of the story?
Amara: Don't guess, it's just me.
Neferi: Yep, Amara is going to host with me and also Bakura!
Bakura: You had to put me here.
Neferi: As a matter of fact I had because today you will be reading the disclaimer.
Bakura: And if I refuse?
Neferi: Easy, I'll stab you with my pencil since I can kill you if I want.
Amara: So move it Bakura, the quicker you do it, the faster you get out of here.
Bakura: NeferNeferi doesn't own YGO but she owns some of the characters.
Chapter two: Training day
**
Amara was sleeping on a bed when suddenly she felt someone touching her arm. The girl took the dagger from below her pillow without opening her eyes and suddenly she moved and attacked. She stopped the dagger a few centimeters away from Bakura's chest.
"Easy Amara, it's me" he said in a low voice.
"Nothing told me it was you so I took precautions as always" replied Amara sitting on the bed "What's the problem?".
"There's no problem Amara, I'm just informing you that tomorrow we will have a training" answered Bakura sitting beside her "So you will have to wake up early".
"Bakura, I have good memory and you know that" said Amara looking at him "You said yesterday morning that tomorrow we would have training".
"I know you have good memory, I just wanted to make sure you remembered" replied the young boy.
"That's nice of you" said and then girl kissing him on the cheek.
Bakura cleaned the cheek as Amara lay down on bed.
"Now get off my bed Bakura" she said kicking him on the back.
Bakura smirked evilly when he turned around to look at her. She was already on bed covered with the blanket.
"And if you come close to this bed for the rest of the night I'll wrestle you" she added.
Bakura growled something and went to talk with Anyah.
-| The next day… |-
"How did I do?" asked Anyah.
They were now training on the oasis and Anyah had just shot arrows to a palm tree. From ten arrows five failed hitting the target point.
"You could have done better" answered Amara as she touched the blade of her sword with an index finger.
The blade was alright since blood started dripping from her finger. Amara cleaned the finger and took some arrows and a bow. It was her turn to shoot.
"Why don't you try shooting two arrows at a time?" said Bakura "You already mastered shooting one I think that two would be better".
Amara took two arrows and fitted them in the bow. She took measures and shot them. Bull's eye she got the target! She repeated the same shooting process again and again until she had no arrows left.
"Excellent Amara, you got the target every time" said Bakura smiling evilly.
The girl threw the bow to him and sat below a palm tree. Then she took Anyah's sword and started sharpening it. Amara suddenly heard a 'swosh' and with the sword she had in hands she blocked an arrow Bakura shot at her. The girl looked at him coldly for a moment and then kept on sharpening the sword.
"Just testing your reflexes Amara, to see if they were still good" said Bakura.
"When I get to test yours I'll be sure to throw you two arrows and leave you with a dagger to see what are you going to do. You'll probably block them but I just want to see the expression on your face" snapped Amara "And when I do that you will be doing something so that I disturb you just like you did to me".
Bakura ignored her and kept on doing his training. But then he just had to reply.
"I'll get you later" he hissed.
"I'm scared" said Amara as she finished sharpening Anyah's sword.
The training finished a short time after that and Bakura decided to pay a short visit to the Pharaoh's palace. He would steal something from him.
"Look Bakura, the guards must be all over the place keeping vigilance in case we decide to show up" said Anyah as she sat on the border of the window "So it would be better if you didn't go today".
"Nonsense Anyah, can get inside the palace without being noticed by the guards, the only one that would notice it is the Pharaoh" said Bakura.
"Remember he has the Millenium Ring" said Amara as she gave Bakura his sharpened sword "That thing gives him powers we could never posses".
"Alright then, do whatever you want but if you get caught I won't go for you" said Anyah looking at him.
"Maybe you won't go but I will" replied Amara.
~~ In the palace ~~
"Anything that has to do with the thieves?" asked Yami to a guard.
"No Pharaoh, everything is alright out on the market street" answered the guard.
"Good, keep the vigilance up" said the young Pharaoh as he sat on his throne.
"Pharaoh Yami, what punishment are you going to give to the thief we caught a few days ago?" asked the counselor.
The young Pharaoh smirked. He had a sudden idea. Yami stood up from his throne and walked away towards the dungeons. He walked down a corridor and then took a path down some stairs that were lit by lamps that used oil. When he reached the end of the stairs he saw a man sitting on a chair.
"Pharaoh Yami, it's an honor to have you in my presence" said the man making a reverence.
"My guards caught a prisoner three days ago, I want to see him" said Yami.
The man nodded and Yami followed him. They passed by dungeons with old men in, dying as a penalty, others were simply lying on the floor and some dungeons were empty. They stopped before a dungeon that had a young boy inside leaning against the wall with closed arms.
"He is the thief you are looking for Pharaoh" said the man.
"Thief I will question you and you will answer" said Yami "Do you have to do with some other three thieves?".
The boy didn't answer. He was Arusem.
"Answer me!" commanded Yami.
A cold laugh was heard and then a cold voice said "I won't answer any of your questions, you don't deserve my answers Pharaoh".
"That will make you die more quickly thief" said Yami.
"Then kill me, I don't care" replied Arusem shrugging "Your threats don't scare me".
He wasn't scared of Yami. But Yami was getting annoyed.
"I will ask you again, do you have to do with the other three thieves that have been stealing the capital?" asked Yami.
"I already answered you" said Arusem "I won't repeat it again, it annoys me when I have to do that".
"Then I'll let a guard cut your throat" said Yami.
Arusem laughed again "If a guard passes those bars I assure you he will be dead in a few moments. But do as you please, after all you are the ruler of my country but that doesn't mean I have to be loyal to you".
Arusem had the attitude his companions had. And that kind of attitude Yami didn't tolerate towards him. He was about to enter the dungeon using the key he had but suddenly the Millenium Symbol flashed on his forehead.
"I see Bakura came to admire the palace" said Yami turning around "You will be punished later" he said to Arusem.
Yami left to the chamber he could feel the Millenium Ring was in. As he entered Bakura had some semiprecious stones in hands.
"Pharaoh, long time no see" said Bakura smiling evilly "See you later if you can catch me".
The thief turned into a shadowy figure and disappeared.
"The next time you make your appearance I will be waiting for you and your companions" murmured Yami as he looked outside the window.
// In the hut that night //
"So you had an encounter with the Pharaoh" said Amara looking at the sapphire Bakura had given to her so she would see it.
"Why didn't you kill him?" asked Anyah as she admired a ruby.
"I will kill him later, he has something I want" answered Bakura as he sat on a chair with crossed arms.
"Yeah, the Millenium Puzzle" replied Amara throwing the sapphire back at Bakura.
"Are we stealing something tomorrow?" asked Anyah "Because I want to use my sword again".
"Yes, we will steal something tomorrow but it will be at night" answered Bakura smiling evilly.
"That makes it more interesting" smiled Anyah evilly.
Amara didn't add a comment to that. She simply gazed at her companions and knew that a whole new adventure was waiting for her. Only that she didn't know it wasn't going to be with Bakura and Anyah.

Neferi: End of chapter!
Bakura: And I'm still here while Amara is sitting on a chair without being tortured.
Amara: Neferi doesn't torture Bakura, you just don't want to understand her, if you don't understand her you will be getting a mess on your head.
Neferi: That's correct Amara, Bakura is so inconsiderate. But I just let him be if he doesn't bother.
*Bakura tries to sneak out of the room but suddenly something grabbed him by the shirt*
Neferi: Since you didn't let me finish *looks at Bakura* You will say the last words.
Bakura: Please review and keep reading for my sake.
