Chapter 5

Bakura:

"So…look at you…you sure have grown." Bakura said as he studied Nari. Nari was too stunned. It had been forever since she had seen him. Ten years since that day in the village, of sitting on that smooth boulder, and the swatting of the bee. Nari took a step back.

Bakura gave her a crooked smile and brought his goblet to his lips. He pushed his hood back and gave her a wink as he took a deep sip.

"I'm surprised Nari, I didn't think you would turn out to be a maid…"

Nari's eyes began to burn with anger as he openly insulted her. This was not the Bakura she remembered. He also joked about his promise he had made ten years ago to her. She had often dreamed about him, showing up on a great white horse, sweeping her off her feet and taking her away form this hell hole.

He just smiled at her and it made her even more furious.

She gritted her teeth and balled her fist at her side. "Get out." She said in a low growl. Bakura laughed and stood up, kicking back his stool. "But Nari, I don't feel like leaving. I'm tired." He took a step close to her, coming ever closer.

"Go! Now!" she said under her breath while pointing a deadly finger at the door. Bakura ignored her demand and stepped closer.

"You have wonderful eyes…has anyone ever told you that?" he reached a hand up to stroke her face but she pulled away before he could.

"If I told you, you had a nice body, would you hold it against me." And with that he swooped her waist into his arm and pressed her body into his.

"Ah, Nari, you're lucky I don't want to settle down." He whispered in her hair. She began to wiggle in his arms, punching at his hard chest and kicking his legs. He gave a grunt as she hit his shin.

"Damn, you sure do fight a lot." He said as he released her. Nari stepped back and brought her fist back, connecting it with his…hand?

He had caught her fist in his own, gripping it tightly. He twisted her arm behind her back and brought her body into his.

"Listen here you little wench, I don't like it when people try to strike me, especially little girls like you." He muttered into her ear. A shiver ran down her spine.

"I am not a little girl!" She yelled back at him and began to struggle against him. Bakura threw his head back and roared with laughter.

"No…your not…" he breathed on her neck. Nari felt his free hand snake down her back and rest on her hip.

"Get. Your. Hand. Off. Of. Me!" she spat out fiercely.

Bakura laughed once again and brought his hand to her face, caressing her cheek.

"Now, is that any way to treat your husband-to-be?" He asked with humor.

"Nariko! What the bloody hell is going on down there!" Her step father thundered from upstairs.

"Tell him everything is alright…now…" Bakura whispered into her ear. Nari opened her mouth to speak, an evil smile playing over her lips.

"Oh, Step father…the famous thief king Bakura is down here! He's trying to rob us!" She screeched

"Bitch!" Bakura muttered and he pushed her away.

"What? Girl, you best be speaking the truth or I'll have your hide!" Zahur screamed while jumping down the stairs. Bakura drew his blade and shot a look at Nari.

'If looks could kill, I'd be on the floor right now.'

Nari began to shake as voices shouted out.

"Bakura? He's here?"

"Did you hear that?"

"Wake the prince!"

Bakura's eyes darkened as guard's men entered the room. Nari tried to rush past him but his arm snaked out and grabbed her.

"You'll pay for this…" He growled into her ear. He brought the blade up to her neck, halting the advance of the guards.

"Take another step, and I'll kill her." Bakura barked. Nari felt the cool metal touch her neck and gave a gasp. She could feel the anger radiating from his body.

"Nari!"Atemu screamed as he rushed down the stairs. Nari shot him a pleading look and pushed herself more into Bakura's body.

Bakura began to slowly back up, heading for the door, dragging a pale Nari with him. "I'll make sure you hang for this…" Atemu threatened

Bakura laughed evilly. "I'm sure you will."

And then he and Nari were gone.

"I'm scared." Nari breathed as they galloped through the desert on the back of his horse.

"Boo fucking hoo." He said as he leaned over her. She sat in front of him, holding onto the horse's mane for dear life. She squeezed her eyes shut and tried to focus on something else. Bakura's heavy breathing rang in her ear, making her shiver.

She remembered the day she had learned about making children. Her step father had laughed at her when she had told the story of the goblet.

"You little wench; you don't spit in the goblet. You fuck the bitch till the seed is planted!" He had roared with laughter. Mother Mari had covered Nari's ears and began to scream at Zahur for using such foul words around a five year old. But it had made Nari even more curious. She wondered if Bakura new about this "Fucking."

Her eyes began to droop, and she could barely hold herself up.

"Please, can we rest?" She asked Bakura, over her shoulder. But he ignored her pleas and continued to gallop away.

Nari woke to sun light on her face, and the sound of rushing water. She blinked her eyes open and looked around. She lay on her back, on a piece of cloth, which turned out to be a shirt. Nari sat up and looked around.

"Hello?" She whispered when she saw no one. Silence greeted her and she began to panic. "Bakura!" she called out frantic now. She stood now, and began to rush forward.

"Bakura?" She screamed

"What wench?" Bakura called out. Relief flooded through out Nari as she heard his rough voice.

"Where are you…?" She replied softly. That's when she noticed him standing near the rushing Nile, wearing nothing but a loin cloth. Water droplets clung to his bronzed skin, and his hair lay damp down his back. Nari sucked in her breath as she stared at him. He looked like a god to her, but then again, she had no idea what a god looked like.

A small smile spread across his lips as he noticed her eyes staring at him.

"Why don't you join me…the water is great…" Nari blushed and turned her head away.

"I insist." He said as he stalked towards her. She gasped as he picked her up and carried her to the river.

"No, please I don't know how to sw…" But it was too late. He had already thrown her into the water.

The cold water washed over her, and filled her nose. She began to thrash in the water, trying to reach the top. She had tried to tell him, she didn't know how to swim.

Bakura watched her thrash then gave a curse.

"Stupid girl doesn't know how to swim." He jumped in and grabbed hold of her robe, dragging her to the surface. Her dark hair covered her face making it hard for her to gasp for air.

Bakura gave an inpatient sigh and pushed the hair out of her mouth. She sucked in the air and clutched onto Bakura's arm that was supporting her.

"I tried to tell you!" She screeched when she recovered. Bakura just shrugged and threw her towards the bank. She gave a shriek of terror as he let go of her.

"Stop being so scared. Your safe now!" He muttered

Nari crawled up the bank and flung herself into the sand. Her robe was dripping wet and was now see through. Nari threw her hands over her chest, trying to keep at least some of her dignity.

Bakura just laughed at her.

"Get naked." He simply said while standing over her. Nari's eyes shot open and she glared at him.

"What! I will not let you violate me!" She yelled while trying to scoot away.

"The thought is tempting indeed, but not now and not here. Now strip." And with that he tossed her his own clothing.

Alright another chappy! I am good! Alright! Ok R&R!
