Stealing a Heart
Neferi: I'm back people!!
Amara: That's right, and now we'll let Kura read the disclaimer so we can start.
Neferi: One thing thought, this fic is not going to be long like my others, excluding "The Rain". It was never meant to be long.
Bakura: Yeah, yeah. We got it, now here's the disclaimer: NeferNeferi doesn't own YGO.
Chapter twelve: The plan
Amara opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. The door of the chamber opened gently and she snapped her head to the side. Yami entered and closed the door behind him.
"Good morning" he greeted her.
"Morning" she replied "I want to get out of this bed".
"You'll have to wait for a while" stated Yami approaching the bed.
Amara shook her head "I meant now".
"And I said you have to wait" replied Yami looking down at her while he stood beside the bed.
Amara sighed heavily "Well then, if you want me to stay in this bed I'm sorry but you'll have to find something to keep me entertained, unless you want me to call Kura so he can stay here with me".
"I'll find you something Amara, as long as Bakura doesn't come here" stated Yami.
Amara smirked and met his gaze. Yami sighed. Just then Semertep entered.
"Pharaoh priest Seth wishes to speak to you" he announced.
"I wonder what does my cousin want now" murmured Yami. Then he said "I'll go now".
He turned on his heel and left. Semertep closed the door of the chamber behind him and approached the bed.
"What do you want?" snapped Amara glaring at him.
"To stay a while with you" answered Semertep.
"What if I don't want you to?" questioned Amara.
"You'll have to deal with it" answered Semertep smirking evilly.
"No I won't, I only need to kick your ass out of here" stated Amara.
"How will you do that?" asked Semertep sitting on the chair next to the bed.
"You see the jar next to my other side of the bed?" she pointed at it "I can grab it and smash it on your face".
Semertep chuckled "You wouldn't do it".
Amara smirked "Oh, you're so wrong".
She grabbed the jar and threw it to him. It hit him right on the face.
"Now get out!" she ordered angrily pointing at the door "Move your butt out of my chambers!".
"I don't want to" replied Semertep.
"Then I'll just have to throw you out" said Amara.
"You can't stand up" smirked Semertep.
Amara pushed the blankets away from her and sat on the side of the bed. And to Semertep's surprise she stood up!
"Move your behind out of here before I decide to smash anything in my way against you" she warned.
He ignored her comment and that made her get irritated. She walked over to him and grabbed his arm.
"OUT!" she yelled pushing him through the door she had recently opened "And stay there!".
She slammed the door shut and went to get her clothes. Then she took a bath and dressed up. When she was ready she went to the throne room. As Amara entered she noticed Yami was speaking with the High Priest Seth, his cousin.
"Good morning Pharaoh Yami, High Priest" she greeted both as she made a reverence "May I serve you in anything?".
Yami looked at Amara and then said to Seth "Seth, she's my maid, Amara".
"Evil woman!" yelled Semertep entering the hall.
The three of them turned their heads to see what was wrong. As Amara saw him, she smirked. He hadn't cleaned his face that was bruised and wet, because the jar contained water.
"My Pharaoh, she threw me a jar on the face!" exclaimed Semertep pointing at Amara.
Seth changed his gaze from Semertep to Amara to his cousin.
"Excuse me Seth" said Yami grabbing Amara and Semertep by the forearms.
The three of them walked out of the hall for a moment.
"Amara did you really throw a jar to Semertep?" asked Yami.
"Yes I did, he was pestering me" answered Amara "And I also threw him out of my chambers".
"Evil woman, you shall be punished!" exclaimed Semertep.
"If you lay a hand on me I swear that your life will -" Yami cut Amara short.
"Semertep go and clean yourself, I'll deal with her" ordered Yami.
Semertep nodded and after making a reverence he walked away.
"What are you doing out of bed?" asked Yami turning to look at her.
"I'm tired of being there! I hate being on a bed!" answered Amara.
"I'll speak with you later Amara, now come with me and behave in front of my cousin will you?" said Yami starting to drag her into the hall.
Amara however, was not feeling like it the moment she heard the tone in which Yami had spoken to her. She released her arm from his grip and looked at him coldly.
"Wait a moment Pharaoh, I'm not a pet so I decide if I want to behave, we were doing fine until you said that to me" she snapped "So go and attend your cousin while I beat it".
Amara turned on her heel and started walking away when a firm grip got hold of her arm again.
"You're not going anywhere Amara except to where I take you now" stated Yami coldly "So start moving it".
Amara glared at him but followed inside the hall.
"Excuse the inconvenience Seth, Semertep had a problem with my maid" said Yami to Seth as he turned his gaze to Amara.
Amara looked really pissed off as she looked at a column near her.
"If I'd know better, I'd say you don't have control over your maid Yami" smirked Seth looking at Amara "By the look on her face she's angry with you".
Just then an intruder entered the hall.
"Kill them all!" he ordered to two more that accompanied them "The woman first!".
"Not again" murmured Amara.
The three men attacked her as Yami took out his sword and Seth his Rod. But Amara didn't need any help, she dodged the attacks, hit one on the head with a kick, the other she punched in the face and the last one she pushed over to the floor and got a grip on his throat.
"Move and you won't see the light of Ra' again" she hissed coldly.
The guards entered that moment and took the three men away.
"She's no maid, she's the person protecting your life" said Seth putting his Rod away and looking at Amara dust her palms off.
"Yes she is" replied Yami smiling at Amara.
The thief didn't return him the smile. A while later Seth left and Amara was left alone with Yami.
"Amara" said Yami looking at her.
"What?" she answered looking at the wall.
A hand turned her head gently and she met crimson colored orbs.
"I'm sorry for speaking to you like that Amara" he murmured softly.
Amara touched his hand and sighed "It's alright".
Yami smiled and then gave her a swift kiss on the lips.
"There's something you need to know" he told her "Seth came here to tell me that in the temple of Ra' many intruders have been seen. And they looked just like the ones you battled".
"So they're trying to kill you" murmured Amara "Let's interrogate the ones in the dungeons".
"I was about to tell you that" smiled Yami.
Both of them walked over to the dungeons. A few moments later they stood before the cell where the three intruders were kept.
"Let me handle the interrogation Pharaoh, you might get annoying with them" said Amara smiling at Yami.
The young Pharaoh chuckled and let the thief take care of it.
"Okay, men, I need you to answer one simple question, from where do you come from?" she asked looking at them.
The three snorted, making Amara smirk.
"Okay, so you're making me get into there and kick the butt again out of you until you talk. This time will be much easier since you're all chained" she replied evilly.
"Alright I'll talk" spoke one "We come from Nubia".
Amara nodded "And you're trying to kill the Pharaoh".
"Yes, by orders of the leader of our organization and a traitor in the palace" answered the man.
"I knew it" said Amara "Who's the traitor?".
"The traitor is - " suddenly the man fell dead to the floor followed by the other two.
Arrows were stuck on their backs.
"We didn't get the name of the traitor" said Yami.
"But we know half of their plan" murmured Amara.
The day passed by quickly and in no time the night fell.
'I have to take care of my plan tonight or it will be never because…I-I'm in love with Yami. Oh Ra' I'm in love with the Pharaoh!' thought Amara as she sat on the bed of her chambers 'If I don't free my friends now I never will. It's time to go'.
She stood up and walked out of the room. Amara had studied the time the guards passed by doing rounds around the corridor and so she was prepared. A guard had passed by moment before she walked out of her chambers and she had a total of five minutes before another one passed by.
Amara walked swiftly and silently down the corridor and made her way over to the dungeons. Before she could enter however, a guard was approaching. The girl looked around and went over a column and hid herself behind it. The guard passed by the column without noticing Amara. When his footsteps were lost the thief came out from behind the column.
She opened the door of the dungeons cautiously and entered, then closed the door behind herself. Amara walked down the stairs silently and stopped before reaching their end. She listened intently for a sound made by the key keeper and heard the jingling of the keys followed by snoring. She smirked.
'He's sleeping' she thought 'Perfect'.
Amara walked over to the keeper and took the keys away from him silently. Unfortunately he woke up.
"Hey, what the..?" he said as he looked at Amara holding his keys.
The girl smiled and then hit him on the neck, knocking him out. Then she walked over to Anyah's and Arusem's dungeon.
"We knew you were coming, we heard you" smiled Anyah approaching the bars "Are you here to get us out?".
"That's right" answered Amara opening the cell.
Then she opened Arusem's and let him out.
"Thank you" he smirked.
"Guards! There's a traitor in the dungeons getting the thieves out!" yelled a prisoner.
Voices were heard outside and upstairs on the corridor.
"Damn it" murmured Arusem.
"Hurry you must get out, follow me" said Amara dropping the keys to the ground.
She ran up the stairs and peering out the door she made sure no one was on the corridor.
"Come on hurry! Get out the window!" she ordered her friends.
Arusem hurried over to the window and jumped out. When Anyah was about to jump out she turned to Amara.
"Aren't you coming?" she asked.
"No I'm not, I'm going to cover for both of you" answered Amara looking at her "Hurry! The guards will be here in a few moments!".
"You really love the Pharaoh don't you?" smiled Anyah "I'll go".
The thief then jumped out. Amara watched from the window as Anyah and Arusem ran towards the palace's gates and walked away when she saw them run free outside. The girl walked over to the dungeon's door and closed it, and then she sat on the floor near the window. A few moments later the guards arrived.
"Have you seen the thieves running around here?" asked one.
"Yes, I have, they escaped already" answered Amara looking at him.
"Do you know who let them get out?" asked another.
Amara nodded "I did".
Neferi: End of chappie!
Amara: At last I freed my friends but now what?
Neferi: I'm not telling you.
Amara: Review and keep reading to find out!
