Ryou POV
I was frightened when someone took hold on me when I dismounted Shion. I felt something sharp dig into my neck. I could feel the flow of my blood trailing down my throat. I wanted to call out to Bakura, but my voice wouldn't work.
I saw him leap at the leader guy, and I knew he was going to kill him. I couldn't turn away. I was horrified at the sight. Will he really him like he said he would? But to my relief, Bakura slowly stood up and turned to look at me. I saw sadness in his eyes and regret at what he just done. What was wrong? I wanted to go to him. I wanted to comfort him.
And my wish got answered as the thief let me go. I ran over to my lover and he wraps his arms around me as I did to him. I hear my voice call out his name and he looks down at me and tells me not to worry, but I can't help it. I worry for him. I worry someday he will snap like he just did and go back to his old self, not ever coming back.
I know the war is coming, and he will be in the middle of it, but that is a ways off. I wanted Bakura to stay the way he is now until that time comes.
I was lost in my gloomy thoughts; I didn't notice we were moving again. When did I get back on Shion? I glance around to see that there were no other people around, but the four of us. What happened to the thieves?
The sun was high in the sky by now and it was glaring at the snow. I often wondered why the sun shines and yet the snow remains, as if warming up everything else but the snow.
We ride in silence.
I don't mind it this time. The silence feels comforting for some reason. I lean back further into Bakura's chest and I shiver at the cold wing that blew by.
We still had half a day until we reached the town Malik knew of. Marik had rode on ahead a few yards.
Who would have thought that I would be on my way to see my mother and in the arms of the one I love? It's been weeks almost since I first met him. Fate brought us together and fate will lead us to our destiny. I never thought any of this would happen when I ran away from home. Should I even call it home anymore? I am never going to live there again. I doubt father would ever let me set foot on the palace grounds again. But I suppose he doesn't have to know I was there. After all, I did promise Yami that I would come back and visit him.
When I was younger, I used to sit out in the garden often and wonder why mother never came back to us. Was she afraid of father? Did she hate him for what he did? I have millions of questions I want to ask mother. I can't wait until we reach her city.
Brother often told me I think too much. Maybe he is right. I like to think things through, sometimes I don't though.
"What are you thinking about?" Bakura's voice pulls me from my thoughts.
"I was thinking about the past and about what will happen in the future."
"Hmmm…" was all he said as he wrapped his arms tighter around me. I didn't mind. I felt warmer. He lays his chin on my shoulder again and I turn to face him. He grins at me as he brings his hand up to pull my face closer to his and he captures my lips in a kiss.
We pull apart, our breath warming up the cold air around us making small puffs of cloud-like fog. He smiles at me and sets his chin back down on my shoulder and I lean my head against his. For the moment, everything was just perfect.
The four of us rode in silence, lost in our own thoughts again. It was getting colder now that the sun was setting. I was ready to stop because I have never ridden a horse for this long before.
We reached the down just after sun down and we started to search for a place to stay for the night.
Marik was the first one to spot the inn. We stopped in front of it and dismounted. I winced at my feet hit the ground. Bakura stripped the mare of our things and set her lose. Marik did the same to his stallion. Both horses rushed off to find a place to sleep. I learned long ago that Elven horses didn't like to stay confined in a barn.
Malik had already gone in to pay for our rooms.
I shouldered a pack and left the rest to Bakura. I grinned as I heard him sigh in defeat and he picked up the rest of our things.
We walked in the warm inn and spotted Malik by the stairs. He waved us over and gave us or room keys. I was tired. It surprised me a bit, since all I did was ride Shion all day. But I was still very sleepy and wanted to go to bed. I swayed on my feet and I felt Bakura steady me. I smile my thanks to him.
"I think Ryou needs some rest." I hear my lover say and I nod in agreement.
"Yeah, I do too." Marik yawns as he finishes speaking.
"I got two rooms next to each other. Here's your key's Bakura. Good night!" and the god drags his sleepy companion up the stairs to their room. And Bakura does the same to me.
As we reached the top step of the stairs, we stopped and stared. There was a semi-clothed boy banging on a door.
"Let me in you damn priest!" the blonde yelled.
My eyes widen at him. 'Who would ever damn a priest?'
"Damn priest! If you don't let me in, I'll…"
"You'll do what, pup?" came an amused voice on the other side of the door.
"I'll…I'll tear down the door!" the boy out in the hall shouted lamely back.
I heard Malik laugh behind me and I turn to give him a look to shut up. But he just grins back at me.
"Great! Just great! Now there are people out here, Seto! Let me in!" the door opens and a brown haired priest leaned against the door frame staring with his icy blue eyes at us, as if to dare us to do something.
"About damn time!" the blonde stormed into the room, but the priest continues to glare at us.
I push Bakura forward to our own room, which is just a few doors down. I open the door and push him in and shut the door behind me. Something about that priest disturbed me. I frown and lean my back against the door. 'Have I seen him somewhere before?' I kept asking myself. I wasn't even aware that Bakura had come up to me and started pulling me towards him. I came back to reality and looked up at him.
"Bakura?" I asked.
"Yes?" he answers as he starts nuzzling my neck.
"That priest… there is something about him."
I hear him sigh and he looks at me. "What do you mean?"
"I don't know exactly how to put it in to words. I just feel like I should know him, but I don't remember ever seeing him before."
We stood there in silence for awhile, and then a knock came to the door behind me. I jump slightly at the sudden noise. I heard Bakura chuckle at me and I moved away from the door to behind my lover letting the thief answer it.
"Yes?" he said to someone.
"Er… I just came to apologize for earlier…" a shy voice answered.
I recognized it as the blonde's voice that was locked out of his room earlier. I peeked around my lover's side and saw that was indeed him.
"That wasn't necessary… Ow!" I kicked Bakura in the leg and pushed him aside.
"Sorry about him! And it's okay about earlier! Does that priest do that to you often?" I ask curiously and I watch him hesitate. "Oh! Sorry I didn't mean to pry!" I smile at him and he shrugs.
"I'm just his body guard, but yet he is stronger then me! It's just so frustrating!" the blonde vents his anger.
"Have you ever been to the palace?" I ask suddenly and he looks at me startled. I feel Bakura put a hand on my shoulder in warning. I ignore it. I really wanted to know who that priest was.
"Er… not really…" he says evasively. I frown at that. 'Why is he avoiding my question?'
"Actually we are on our way back from…" He doesn't get to say anything else because someone hits him in the head with their hand.
"Ow! Dammit Seto!" the blonde guard says angrily to the priest who showed up.
"Please forgive what my pet is saying. He shouldn't be out here long anyways." The priest says to me and I gasp at the realization I just came to.
"Could you be…?!" I say merely to myself but I stare in shock at the two at the door.
"What?" I priest blinks at me. I turn to my lover.
"Go get Malik! I need to know!" and he looks at me confused. "It's about what we are doing! Go!" I shove him out the door and he sighs and shakes his head, heading to the gods' room. The priest just looks at me. I start to fidget under his gaze.
"Is there something you wish to say?" I ask him.
"Actually yes, there is, Prince Ryou." My eyes widen at him when he says my name and title. 'How does he know?!' I am refrained from asking when Bakura comes back with two sleepy immortals.
"What is this all about?" the god asks a little annoyed.
"How can we tell who the prophecy talks about?" I ask him suddenly. He looks at me as he thinks.
"I suppose you can tell if they can see your guide." He answers.
"Guide!" I call out, startling the priest and his guard.
"Yes, how can I help you today Ryou?" the guide is as cheerful as ever. He had popped up between Marik and the blonde guard, who looks over and lets out a gasping sound. I knew it! They are the ones!
"You are the priest!" I said excitedly and the said priest looks over at me, still confused.
