Stealing a heart
Neferi: Sorry for the late update, I had five exams this week so you can guess I was pretty busy.
Amara: You should have seen her studying, she was desperate and that was hilarious.
Bakura: Yeah it was.
Neferi: *glares at both* I like to see you two trying to study for five exams. No matter, read the disclaimer Amara.
Amara: NeferNeferi doesn't own YGO but she owns a few characters.
Chapter three: Discovered
**
Amara sat on her bed that night while Anyah and Bakura slept. The girl couldn't sleep.
'Something is preventing me from having a good sleep and it's not a good feeling' she thought as Anyah turned around on the bed.
Amara looked at her female companion and then her eyes landed on Bakura.
'Maybe I can talk to him, I used to talk with him in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep' thought Amara as Bakura slept on his bed giving her his back.
At last she decided it was a bad idea and ended up choosing a walk outside. She put a cloak on and walked out of the hut silently. It was cold like always but Amara was covered so the temperature wasn't that bad. The young girl walked towards the oasis as a breeze passed around her.
She stood before the oasis a few moments later and looked at her reflection in the crystal water. She saw her face that demonstrated she was tired but her eyes were widely open as if she were a child that had much energy in store to use.
'No matter, I will sleep later' she thought 'It's one in the morning and the guys wake up at five so I still have plenty of time left'.
She sat by the borders of the oasis for a while and then walked back to the hut. As she entered she noticed that Bakura was sitting on a chair in a dark corner with a dagger in hands. Amara ignored him and took her cloak off. Then she walked towards her bed but Bakura's voice stopped her.
"Where were you?" he asked.
"Outside, I couldn't sleep" she answered turning to look at him.
"I was worried something had happened to you" replied Bakura putting the dagger on its sheet and setting it on a table.
"I can take care of myself" stated Amara starting to get irritated.
"Maybe but sometimes I am the one to take care of you" said Bakura standing up and walking towards her.
He stood before her and raised her head by the chin. Brown met cold lavender.
"Little are the times when you do that" replied the girl standing closer.
"But I used to do it with frequency" said Bakura as he touched her hair for a moment.
Then he leaned forward and pressed her lips with his. He kissed her for a moment and then broke the kiss. They were just toying with each other. They only had a friendship and partnership relationship. Nothing farther than that, of course Bakura couldn't deny he liked Amara.
"Go to sleep Bakura, I'm back" said Amara walking towards her bed.
Bakura simply smirked and watched her as he lay down on the bed. Then he turned around and went to his resting place in which he lay down. Finally Amara fell asleep.
@@ The next day… @@
The three thieves were preparing everything for the robbery they were going to commit that night. At six in the evening everything was ready. They were going to steal a necklace that had amethysts and emeralds that belonged to the wife of a high functionary in the Pharaoh's court.
Earlier that day Anyah had walked through the capital and investigated the necklace and the woman that owned it. She had all the information needed to make the robbery.
"It's seven in the night, let's start moving" said Bakura as the three of them were sitting on the hut.
Amara and Anyah covered their heads and started moving towards the capital. They let the horse out of range from unfriendly eyes and sneaked into the capital without being seen. They made their way towards the house were the necklace was supposed to be and climbed the outer wall, entering the house's garden.
"Her chamber is that one" whispered Anyah pointing at a balcony just above of them.
Amara and Bakura nodded. They started climbing the wall and reached the balcony. The chamber was empty when they entered.
"Start looking for it quick" said Bakura as Amara opened a chest and looked through it.
The three thieves started looking until Amara announced she had found it.
"Excellent, now let's get out of here" said Bakura taking the necklace and putting it away.
Then the door of the chamber opened. A woman entered and when she saw the thieves she stood there in silence. The group looked at her for a mere moment and then, when they saw a scream was coming out, Anyah told the woman she was going to kill her if she did something.
"So don't do anything that could be bad for you or I assure you that you will regret it" said Anyah as they approached the balcony.
The woman nodded as Bakura and Amara jumped down. When Anyah did, she screamed.
^^ Downstairs… ^^
The scream was heard and the husband ran upstairs as the young Pharaoh, who also happened to be in the house, ran outside and climbed his horse.
"This time you won't get away" he murmured as he rode out of the house and started following the three robbers.
"The Pharaoh's hot on our heels!" exclaimed Anyah as they ran away, Yami following closely.
"Not for long!" said Amara "Split!".
The three of them split up resulting in Yami following Amara.
'Oh great, I've got the Pharaoh hot on my heels' she thought as she kept on running 'Guess I have to fool him'.
She ran into an alley but Yami didn't follow her in. Unfortunately he was more clever than what she thought. The girl climbed the wall of the house quickly and when she was on the ceiling suddenly…
"You think you can fool me that easily thief?" said Yami as Amara stood up.
He was standing there before her with the sword in hands.
'Apparently he's more clever than what I thought' thought Amara without replying.
She gave a step back to jump down from the way she had climbed the Yami said "I wouldn't do that if I were you, there are guards down waiting for you".
Amara looked down for a moment and saw that he was right. So the house was surrounded, how amusing.
"Give in thief" said Yami approaching her slowly.
"Take another step and you will taste the blade of my sword" said Amara taking her weapon out.
Yami stopped and smirked "You are in no position to make threats".
"I make the threats I want whenever I desire Pharaoh" replied Amara "Now let your sword do the talking".
Yami smirked again and attacked her. She evaded the attacks and attacked him back. He also evaded.
"Not bad Pharaoh" she said as she pushed him away with an attack.
"I can say the same to you girl" he replied charging her again.
Amara evaded the attacks again until Yami managed to get rid of her sword and she was weaponless.
"You have no weapon left now thief so surrender and your punishment will be less severe" he said taking up her sword.
"I'm not defenseless yet Pharaoh" said Amara adopting a fighting position.
Yami couldn't help letting out another smirk. He was starting to enjoy this for some reason.
"Very well" he said and charged her.
She evaded the attacks and got rid of the two swords he was using and both started to kind of wrestle. The fighting finished in Yami on top of her holding her wrists with one hand.
"Now you are defenseless thief" he said looking at her.
He had also locked her legs and Amara couldn't move!
'Dammit' she thought trying to get away.
"Now I will see your face" said Yami and he started to uncover her face.
'There's only one thing left to do' thought Amara as Yami kept on uncovering her face 'But I must act quick'.
The young Pharaoh took off what covered Amara's face and observed the female he had before him. He couldn't believe such a young and beautiful girl was a thief. Suddenly she got a chance and moved on top of him, resulting in getting free. Amara moved away towards where Yami had been standing and picked her sword.
The breeze of the night moved her hair softly as she said "You will never catch me Pharaoh and neither my companions, get that into your head".
And with those last words she jumped down. Yami approached the border and saw she had landed on a horse being ridden by Bakura. The horse ran away into the desert.
"Pharaoh Yami are you alright?" asked a guard as he reached the ceiling.
"Yes I'm fine" answered Yami as he held in his hands the piece of cloth that Amara used to hide her face.
As the breeze blew again the scent of the cloth reached Yami. It was a sweet scent, probably the perfume she used that she had stolen.
"Her face I won't forget" he whispered as he looked towards the way the thieves had went.
"You mean that you caught a glimpse of one of the thieves?" asked the guard.
"Yes I did" answered Yami turning around "The next time they strike I will be waiting for them. I won't let them get away".
"Damn Pharaoh, he almost got you" said Bakura as Amara sat on her bed.
"Fortunately he didn't but he saw my face so I can't go to buy food" replied Amara.
"So Anyah will go instead" said Bakura sitting on the chair "Next time Amara don't let him get near you".
"He won't come near me Bakura, I won't let him" stated Amara coldly.
But they didn't know everything was about to change.
