Ryou POV
I didn't really want to leave here. But I knew if I stayed we could never be together again. I had to leave. Father would lock me up if he ever caught me and he would probably kill Bakura if he knew that he was the king of thieves. I sigh into my lovers embrace.
"We should leave now." I hear him whisper to me. I nod but I feel him hesitate.
"Are you sure you wish to leave here? It will be a hard life on the road. There wont be any of these luxuries like there are in here." I look up into his brown eyes and smile.
"I'm sure. I have thought about this already. As long as I'm with you, everything will be okay. I will follow you any where you go."
"Alright." He says and kisses me before he takes my hand in his and turns to the guide.
"Well? Can you help us out of here or is that interfering?"
"Hmmm… Since you asked me to help, it isn't interfering!" he says with a grin. "Follow me!" and the guide starts down the corridor opposite of the stairs.
"Um… guide?" I say and he turns his head but continues walking.
"Yes?"
"The stairs…" I trail off as we reach a dead end. I sigh and start to turn around to go back to the stairs.
"Where are you going princeling?" I hear the guide ask me. "We are going this way."
I saw the guide put his hand on the stone wall.
Nothing happened.
"What are you doing?" I hear a very annoyed Bakura to my right say. I squeeze his hand and he looks over at me. I hear him mutter under his breath something about a stupid guide. I smile over at him.
"Come on! Walk through!" Guide tells us patiently. I look warily at the wall. It didn't look walk through-able. I reach out with one hand and timidly touch the wall. I gasp as my hand disappears! I glance over at Bakura and he shrugs and walks on through, pulling me behind him.
I blink when we come out the other side of the wall. It was almost night-time for the sun was setting. I could see a few scattered stars start to come out of hiding. I move closer to the thief when I hear voices around the corner. I frown as I scan the area.
"We are close to the servants' bath house."
I look at my white haired thief, although he has been healed completely, he was still covered in dry blood. He could definitely use a bath. I point at the large building to the right of us.
I watch my love as he looks himself over and grins at me.
"I suppose I could gather attention if I walked around like this." I nod to him and look over at the guide.
"Can you be seen by anyone else?" I ask him curiously.
"No. Only you two can see me." The guide replies.
"Good." I answer back and grab hold of Bakura's hand and I start walking to the bath house.
Once we reached it, no one is around. I open the door and push Bakura inside. "Get washed. I will go hunt down some clothes for you."
I see him nod once and strip down to his under shorts. I let my eyes wander over him and linger on him for a moment. 'Gods, I love him.' He sees me watching him. Even in the dimming light, I'm sure he could tell my face was red.
"See something you want, little angel?" I hear his teasing voice ask me. Oh, how cruel the king of thieves is! Of course I want him. I have wanted him since he first touched me. I wanted to be his alone.
I was so lost in my own thoughts; I didn't notice that he had walked over to me. Startled I look up at him. His fingers trail down my jaw line and then he grins at me. For some reason I don't like the look of that grin he just gave me. I open my mouth to ask him a question but he covers it wit his own. My body reacts to the kiss. He pulls apart first and bends down to put his arm around my legs and my back, lifting me up in his arms.
"What are you doing?" I ask him.
"I decided you needed a bath as well."
I start to protest but I was dropped into the pool of warm water. 'Great. Now I'm completely soaked!' I try to glare at Bakura but I just can't be mad at him. It was true anyways. I sigh as I strip down to my under shorts as well. I throw the excess clothes at the thief, which he dodges, but he is laughing at me. I can't help but smile at the sound.
Still chuckling to himself, he joins me in the bath. He wraps his arms around me and I lean into his embrace. We stay like this for what seems like hours not mere minutes. He rubs my back and I sigh in contentment. He lifts my chin up and kisses me passionately. I lock my own arms around his neck, deepening the kiss.
We break apart, catching our breath as we stare into each others' eyes. Is this what true love is like? I had never loved anyone like this before. Sure, I loved my brother and parents, but that was a different king of love. I didn't need them as much as I needed this person who held me in his arms. He had become my life. My reason to go on. My lover.
He was staring at me with his fierce brown eyes. But there was no malice. No hatred. Just love and kindness. I traced my finger tip along the scar under his eye. I felt him shutter slightly at the touch. I knew we couldn't go on and I knew he knew it as well. We were still in enemy territory. Heh. For me think that, father must hate me now. After all, I did tell him I hated him.
"Father told me he was going to send me away to another kingdom. He wanted me to be happy, but all he brought me was pain." I tell my love softly, barely even a whisper. I felt his arms tighten around me.
"I will never let that happen to you. You are mine now." I smile at his last words. Our lips meet again in a gentle kiss. I could die happily right now. But then I could never be with Bakura again. So I banish that thought of me dieing. I love being held by his strong arms. I feel so safe with him.
We are lost in our own world, so we don't notice the voices coming closer to the bath house. I hear the door slam open and I jump at the sound. I hear my lover curse as he reaches for his knife. I didn't understand what he intended to do until he was already out of the water and stalking to the far wall where the voices were coming from. I quickly get out and put a towel around me.
A small girl came around the corner and Bakura grabbed her. He covered her mouth before she had a chance to scream an alarm. The other girl stares wide eyed at them, frozen in fear.
"You both will forget that you saw me here if you want to live another day, got it??" I hear Bakura growl at the two girls. I chose that time to intervene.
"You will not kill them, 'Kura!" I hiss at the thief. He looks back at me with narrowed eyes, challenging me. So I glare back, hoping he would let me have it my way.
I hear him sigh as he lets the girl go and sheathes his knife. I smile gratefully at him and he winks back at me, letting me know he isn't angry at me. He ruffles my hair as he walks by to look around for some clean clothes.
I smile slyly at the two girls. They gasp and kneel as they recognize me. I sigh.
"Please don't say anything about us being here, okay?" they both nod in agreement and one looks up at me shyly.
"Sir, if you need clean clothes, I can get them for you."
"Thank you, Ann." I reply smiling. She used to be one of my mother's maids. She stands up, dragging the other girl along with her. They bow before they leave thru the door.
I stand there until I can't hear their voices anymore, and then let out a breath I was holding. I lean against the wall I was near and let my chin fall to my chest. I was tired.
I look over to see what Bakura was doing. I saw him sitting on a bench lost in his own thoughts. I push myself away from the wall and walk over to him. He looks up at me as I stand next to him. He wraps his arms around my bare waist and pulls me closer to him, burying his face into my stomach. I feel his warm breath against my skin as he breaths. I brush my fingers thru his short hair, enjoying the attention he is giving me. I lean down to kiss the top of his head and I smile down at the sight of him clinging to me as if he never intended to let me go. I glance out the small window above the bathing pool and notice it is now fully dark and the moon light shines through.
A few moments later, Ann returned with a few new towels and a couple of packs. I look curiously at the packs she sets next to the door.
"I took liberty to pack a few things for you, my prince." She said as she blushes and lowers her head. "Your mother told me that one day you would be leaving for good. She told me to help you out any way I could." I smiled at her.
Bakura had turned his head to see who came in, but he still rested his head on my stomach and a hold of me. I poke him in the arm and I hear him sigh but he lets me go anyway. I walk over to Ann to retrieve our clean clothes she had brought for us. I throw Bakura's clothes to him. I look thru the clothes she had brought. They are not bad I guess. I put on the white shirt and it fit me loosely. It is not as good as the silk shirts I am used to wearing, but it will do. The pants Ann had brought were brown and the legs of it fit loosely against my legs. The last cloth left was to be worn around the waist. It signified the person wearing it as a traveler. It went down to my ankles. It looked sort of like a half skirt, but it wasn't one. I look behind me to see if my lover was finished yet. I notice he had put on similar pants, but his shirt was more detailed then mine. It was red with gold trimmings. It fit him snuggly. Around his waist was a similar to what I wore, but it only went down to his knees. I grin at him as he looks up to see me watching him. He raises an eye brow at me.
"Ready, 'Kura?"
"Yeah." He replies walking over to the packs, picking them up.
I smile at Ann as I walk up to her and she holds out her hand to give me something. I accept it. It was a small ribbon I had seen somewhere before. I look back up at the maid.
"I kept it for you, my prince. She wanted you to have it when you left." I now know that 'she' was my mother. I look back down at the golden ribbon and grin. I pull back my hair at the nape of my neck and tie the ribbon around my silver hair.
"My prince, your brother told me to tell you your horse is saddled and ready in the stables."
"Thank you Ann."
I walk over to my dark thief who is waiting for me at the door. I take hold of his hand and he smiles at me. We walk out the door and I take one last look back at Ann and she smiles and waves to me.
