Immortal Death: chapter 10 (woot!)
The next morning, Rei looked up the sun had risen and the great solar disc's light flooded the room, blinding her. As if on cue, another slave walked in and gasped, not expecting to see Rei tied there. Master would usually call for someone to take care of his "victims". She rushed over and untied Rei. She was an older slave, the sun damage evident on her face. She worked quickly and silently, flushing out Rei's wound, causing her to hiss in pain. Finally the wound was bandaged and the slave gave Rei some water, bread and a new galabia, it would hide the wound well, the salve said, " Hurry now, to your cot, before Master wakes." Rei nodded gratefully at her stumbled off, weak from blood loss. She reached cot and sat on her bed, exhausted, she hadn't slept at all. Gods must be punishing her, for slaughtering her mother, but her mother deserved it, didn't she? Or maybe the Gods just didn't like her, she sighed and ate some of the bread, she knew she should save some, Master would not be feeding her for a long time. She also couldn't eat much, her stomach had shrunk. Oh well, not like anything mattered anymore. Would her brother really come back for her? She drank half the water and stowed her reserves away under her cot, under a cloth. Then she changed into the her new clothes, though it was difficult because of the wound. She laid down and fell into a fitful sleep.
Since he had left, Bakura had been watching his sister from the shadows, when he could. He knew she had been sold, now just to find that man's house. The last time he saw her, she was very thin, he had to find her but it would be no easy task, the city of Thebes was huge, she could be anywhere.
One month later, Bakura was watching the hustle and bustle of the market place, well hidden in the shadows. There, near the grain stand, he spotted the man who bought Rei, the man was laughing and talking to the merchant. He could only hope she had not been sold again, or worse, dead. The man walked away and Bakura leapt to a rooftop and tailed him, staying well hidden. He followed the man into the worst part of the slums. He entered a house, obviously his, Bakura would return that night and hopefully find Rei.
That night, well after Ra had begun his trip through the underworld, Bakura returned to the house and peered in through a window. Everyone was asleep, excellent. He crept in, the door had no lock, and slunk through the house, poking his head in each room, until he found the slave chamber. He crept in, careful not to wake any of the other slaves. It was hard to find which one of the sleeping forms was Rei in the darkness. Then in a corner he spotted her, he knew it had to be her, she always slept on her side, with one leg curled up and the other outstretched. As he got closer, he saw it was her, he carefully picked her up and tried not to wake her. She was sometimes easily startled if awoken suddenly and he did not want the alarm to be risen. He carried her out and headed to a house he had " purchased".
That morning, Rei awoke, her shoulder still throbbing and sore. When her vision focused she realized, this was not her house! Where was she? Had Master sold her during the night, possibly even drugging her? She got to her feet, but had to pause from dizziness. She found her way downstairs and on the couch sat none other than Bakura, smirking at her. " Good morning. Took you long enough to wake up." Rei hesitated for a moment, was it a dream? She decided the hell with it, dream or not. She ran to Bakura and hugged him with what little strength she had left. " I missed you so." she said as a tear slid down her face. She sat up and looked at Bakura, he wiped the tear away and said, " I missed you, too." Rei ignored her pain and decided it was best he not know about what happened or he may go seeking revenge and get caught. They spent the day talking about what had happened during their separation. Luckily Rei had put the dagger he gave her in a hidden pocket of the galabia, she would have never forgiven herself if she had lost it. She then noticed something, at which she was surprised she hadn't noticed before, Bakura had another scar, running horizontally to the first one, almost in the middle of it. " Bakura! What did you do?" she said as she touched the new scar. He laughed slightly, " Just a small brawl with a couple of tomb guards." " Always finding trouble aren't you ?" she replied with a sigh. " I guess some people never change." he smiled.
