Chapter ten: First attempt
**
Yami ordered his chambers to be prepared for Amara was going to sleep on them.
"I hope you can catch whomever is trying to kill me" said Yami to the girl.
"I assure you I will" stated Amara.
When the chambers were prepared both of them entered them. There was a spare bed placed beside the bed where Yami slept.
"You will sleep there" said the young Pharaoh.
"I noticed it" replied Amara.
Yami chuckled and said "You are supposed to help me undress".
"I forgot that I purpose" said Amara walking up to him "Because I don't want to".
"You have to do it Amara, it's your duty" stated Yami.
"I know, I know" she said as she took off the Millenium Puzzle from around his neck.
She helped him undress and left him with his "pants".
"The rest is up to you" said Amara "Your put your sleeping clothes while I go and pick up mine".
Without waiting for a reply Amara walked out of the chambers and made her way to hers.
'Soon I will escape from the palace, the Pharaoh already trusts me for he is letting me stay on his chambers' she thought as she entered her chambers.
She took out her sleeping gown and changed into it. Then she walked back to Yami's chambers. She knocked on the door and waited for the entrance to be admitted.
"Come in" said Yami who was sitting on his bed.
Amara walked in and closed the door behind her.
"Do you do something before going to bed?" she asked him as she sat on hers.
"No I don't, I just go straight to bed" answered the young Pharaoh looking at her.
Amara nodded and said "Then go to sleep, I have to put some things here in case someone decides to show up and kill you".
Yami lay down on his bed and accommodated on it while Amara walked around the chambers putting things in position for she had a plan if someone showed up. To finish up she put a dagger below her pillow just like always.
'Alright, now everything is in position just as I planned' she thought looking around.
Her eyes landed on Yami's back.
'I hope I find whomever is trying to kill you before I decide to escape from here' she thought as she sat down on her bed.
As she was accommodating herself on the bed Yami called her.
"Yes what is it Pharaoh Yami?" she answered gently as she placed her head on the pillow.
"Are you going to sleep now?" he asked turning around on the bed and looking at her back.
"No, I'm not sleepy yet" answered Amara as she stared at the wall.
"Would you sit here with me for a while?" asked Yami as he sat down on his bed "I don't want to sleep yet".
Amara also sat down on her bed and looked at her Pharaoh.
"Alright" she agreed standing up.
She walked over to his bed and sat down next to him.
"Amara have you ever played a Shadow Game?" he asked.
Amara shook her head in response "I have never played one but I've seen Bakura playing so I know a little bit about them".
"I see…" said Yami as he stared at the wall in front of the bed "Well then I can teach you sometime if you want to".
"Am I not supposed to have a strong ka in order for me to play it?" asked Amara looking at him.
"Yes you're supposed to" answered Yami looking back at her "But you have a strong ka Amara".
"How do you know that?" asked the girl curiously.
"Because I can sense it" answered the young Pharaoh.
"Very well, if you want to teach me then I'll learn" said Amara.
Yami nodded and then looked out trough the window. The dark sky was filled with stars that shone brightly and the full moon was making them company as her gentle light illuminated the country of Egypt.
"It's a beautiful night" said Amara also looking out the window.
"All the nights in Egypt are beautiful" he smiled as he stared at the moon "It's the moon that makes them look different and changes their beauty".
"That made you look like a philosopher" smiled Amara.
"I find what I said as a truth" stated Yami.
Amara actually chuckled and then said "I'm not making fun of you Pharaoh if that is what you're trying to say".
"Alright Amara, I believe you" smiled Yami.
Amara looked out the window once again and her eyes narrowed "Pharaoh you must go to sleep now it's past midnight".
"Very well Amara I'll go to sleep if you say to me good night" grinned Yami.
Amara turned over to him, leaned forward and brushed his lips with hers. Yami brought her closer to him as he deepened the kiss. The girl put her arms around his neck and kissed him back. When she realized what was she doing she broke the kiss.
"Good night my Pharaoh, sleep well" she whispered softly as she stood up.
She walked over to her bed and lay down. Amara instantly made herself comfortable on the bed and closed her eyes.
"Sleep well my Amara" whispered Yami's voice on her ear.
He also lay down on the bed and tried to sleep. After a while he fell asleep. Around at three in the morning Amara heard a slight sound coming from the balcony. Since she was a thief she was meant to keep her senses sharp and that permitted her to hear it.
'I wonder…' she thought as she sat down on her bed silently.
She stood up and walked swiftly towards the curtain that gave entrance to the balcony silently making actually no sound. She had her dagger in hands in case it was someone trying to kill Yami. She glanced at Yami who was still fast asleep.
'Let's see who's here' thought Amara as she touched the curtain to open it.
Suddenly someone attacked the curtain where Amara was standing, hoping to kill her. But the person failed since the girl had jumped back. The sound of the curtain ripping apart woke Yami up who instantly sat upright.
"Get armed" said Amara as an intruder entered the chambers.
Yami drew a sword out, which was hidden between the bed and a table and stood on the floor, ready to defend himself.
"I didn't know the Pharaoh had company tonight" said the figure harshly.
"Well now you do" replied Amara coldly.
The figure, which was covered with a hood said "It's a shame I'll have to kill something so pretty".
"Just try it" countered Amara.
"Are you going to battle me with that puny dagger when I have a sword?" mocked the figure showing Amara his sword.
Amara grinned and using a touch of her speed, she put away the dagger and moving a basket she took out two weapons.
"Actually I am going to battle you with two swords, now how's that for you?" hissed the girl standing in an attacking position.
"That sounds interesting but I have other matters to attend girl" the figure said.
He turned around to Yami and getting him off guard charged at him. But the figure was stopped by a dagger passing right before his face, which ended up getting stuck in the place where Yami placed his clothes when he was about to wear them.
"The Pharaoh's off limits to you, I'm your opponent now and if you don't fight me then you're a coward" stated Amara glaring at the figure.
The figure turned around and said "Fine, I'll battle you".
He advanced towards her and gave her a frontal attack.
'Moron' thought Amara as she grinned.
The figure attacked her with his sword and Amara dodged it. She then hit him with the hilt of the sword on the stomach. The man dropped his sword in pain as he held on to his stomach. Amara then gave him a kick on the face. The intruder was thrown against the wall at the other side of the room.
"Now Yami, go to the guards and send them here, quickly!" said Amara.
Yami rushed out of the chambers with the Millenium Puzzle on and his sword in hands to find some guards. Amara had made him promise that he wouldn't fight, the fighting was hers. He was armed if he found any inconvenient in the way of searching for his guards.
"I didn't know you were so strong girl, who are you?" asked the intruder standing up.
"Who am I? I am your worst nightmare represented in a woman" answered Amara as she kicked his sword out of the room.
The intruder grinned evilly although Amara couldn't see him since he had his head covered.
"You will pay for the pain I have now girl, with your precious life" he stated.
"Just try it again and I will show you a few things" snapped Amara as she now looked at him as cold as she used to look at people before.
"With pleasure" said the man taking out a bow and a few arrows.
He shot her two arrows, which Amara evaded for a little bit.
'This was something I could never master in my training, evading arrows' thought Amara 'I can stop a few with my swords but not all of them'.
"You are suddenly silent girl, I believe you don't know how to evade arrows that well, huh? Well guess what, I have many arrows waiting for you" said the man as he fitted two more in the bow.
He shot them and Amara did stop them with one of her swords but the sword slipped away from her hand that had sweat. When she was about to pick the sword up the intruder shot two more arrows and Amara had the same result with the other sword she held.
"Now I'm going to kill you!" yelled the intruder madly.
He tackled her down. The girl fell to the floor, making both her swords slide on the ground and get out of the chambers. The intruder started wrestling with her.
'I am NOT going to let you win imbecile!' thought Amara.
She punched the intruder on the nose and then pushed him off with her legs. Amara stood up and raced out of the chambers quickly.
As Yami was bringing the guards he saw two swords sliding out of the chambers on the ground. But then he saw Amara coming out of the chambers. She ran out, stopped quickly to pick up the swords and then ran towards them.
She took Yami by the wrist and penetrating through the guards she told them "He is shooting arrows!".
The guards took out their shields and prepared.
When the intruder walked out of the chambers and saw the guards he said "I don't have time for guards so I'm leaving, see you later Pharaoh, I suggest you watch your back".
And then he escaped through a window of the corridor.
"He is gone" said a guard looking out the window.
"I can't believe I let him escape!" murmured Amara with indignation.
Yami turned to look at her and his eyes narrowed "Amara look out!".
As Amara turned to look towards the window that was beside her an arrow struck her on the stomach.
"Just so that you won't forget me" said the intruder "Bye".
And then he escaped. Amara looked down at the arrow and then at Yami with watery eyes before she let go of the swords and collapsed.
"Amara!" yelled Yami rushing towards her.

Neferi: End of chappie everyone!
Amara: That was a very nice cliffhanger Neferi, I wonder what will happen to me, will I live? will I be with Yami or with Bakura? Will Semertep appear and…you know what I mean.
Neferi: The answers to these questions will be seen in the next chapter! Please review and keep reading!
