88 Last Time 88
"You stupid bitch! You will not stop Hondo's plans!" Akhenaden snarled, and tried to bring the dagger down on Hotaru. Bakura reacted and quickly slammed his body into her's causing her to fall back. Instead of the dagger digging into her back, it dug it's way deep into the thief's shoulder.
88 This Time 88
Bakura cried out as Akhenaden drove the dagger into his shoulder. Blood began to run down his tied up arm. With a growl the priest yanked it back out and glared down at him. The Thief King just looked up at him with a more fear some glare. Thunder sounded over head and the crowd gasped at what had just happened. Hotaru stared at Bakura's shoulder in shock.
"You think you will stop me thief?" Akhenaden yelled and held the dagger over Bakura's head. However he didn't even get to bring it down as two arrows dug their way into his chest. Blood trickled out of his mouth and he cough. He dropped the dagger and fell to the ground trying to breathe. In a matter of a seconds he was dead. The people in the crowd went into a panic and began screaming and running around in circles.
"You owe me one Bakura!"
Turning his head Bakura saw a bow in the pharaoh's hands. He had another arrow to it, but seeing as he didn't need it he lowered the weapon. Bakura nodded a thanks and used the dagger to cut the binds on his wrists. When he was free a glint caught his eye and he turned to see someone making there way to Atem. They had a sword in their hands and with all the confusion no one else spotted him. Quickly he picked up the dagger and flung it.
It dug it's way into the man's throat just as he was about to reach the pharaoh. Atem turned and saw him fall to the ground dead. Looking back at Bakura he saw the thief was smirking. "My dept is repaid Pharaoh."
"Bakura there's more of them!" he heard Hotaru say. He turned and saw they were surrounded by Hondo's men. "Do you want me to heal that?" Hotaru asked when she saw him clutching his shoulder.
"No, you can heal it later. If you do it now you'll become weak and defenseless. I can fight like this." Hotaru nodded and quickly turned to the first man that came at her.

Rei had taken her brother's bow from him as he had pulled his sword out. Seto and a few of the other priests also brought out weapons. The guards were already fighting the men who were trying to kill Bakura and Hotaru. Looking down at the weapon she took an arrow and fixed it to the string. Taking aim she released the arrow. It soared through the air and went through a man's throat.
"Where did you learn to shoot like that?" Marik asked standing next to her. He was in his black outfit and was assigned to protect her from any of Hondo's men.
"Hotaru told me how, but this is actually the first time I've used a bow." she replied and put up another arrow. When she released it, it flew into a man's back and a guard quickly finished him off.
"Why is it only women seem to have a natural born talent with weapons?" he asked as he stabbed a man who tried to get at Rei.
Rei smiled. "Well in nature it's always the females who are the strongest. For example female lions are the best hunters. They're smarter then the male ones for they always tend to hunt alone. The lionesses stick together and form a plan to bring down their prey." another arrow shot from her bow and hit a man's ankle.
"I'm going to have to remember that and never get you and the other girls mad." with that Marik brought down another guy.

Anzu and Makoto were not to far from Rei. Anzu had the whip Rei and stolen and Makoto was just fighting them off with her bare hands. Seto had taught her a few moves and now she could put them to good use. In one swift movement she flipped a guy over her shoulder, he landed on his head, which in turn caused his neck to snap.
"Makoto we're going to need some help." Anzu said keeping three of the men at bay by cracking her whip dangerously close to their faces. Several times she would snap it on their feet and legs to make them back up.
"I know, but everyone else is busy helping Bakura and Hotaru. We're on our own." she said getting back to back with the blue eyed girl.
Anzu cracked the whip again, but this time the man caught it and yanked. Anzu had not expected this and came crashing down into the mud on the ground. Makoto turned in surprise when she heard her friend cry out.
"Anzu!" a man took this chance and tackled her to the ground.
Anzu slowly rose and looked up. The three men she had been keeping back stood around her. Two of them had swords and one had a ball and chain. All were smirking at her as she was now defenseless. The one in front of her used the flat of his sword to lift her chin. The tip of it scratched her throat slightly.
"Scream little girl." he said. Instead of doing as he asked she spat in his face. He growled and whipped the spit from his eyes. "You'll regret that."
He raised his sword over her and she shut her eyes. However when the pain never came she opened them and looked up. Hamadi grinned down at her. He crouched down till he was almost face level with her. A silly smile was plastered on his face.
"You certainly like getting into trouble don't you love?" he asked. Anzu playfully glared at him then smirked.
"It's a nasty little habit I have." Hamadi shook his head and helped her up. The three men that had tried to kill her were in a pile with the man who tackled Makoto. Turning she saw the brunette was being helped by a red haired man.
"Khalid! Stop playing with them and kill them already." Hamadi shouted to the red head. Khalid glared back at him then swiftly snapped one man's neck and drove his sword through the other. The whip was suddenly handed back to her and she looked at Hamadi. "What do you say we get back to work?"
Anzu smiled and took the whip. "Sure, just don't call me love anymore. My name is Anzu."
"Ok love."

Soon the fight was over. Some of Hondo's men escaped but no one was really worried about that. Hotaru had healed most of Bakura's gash he got from the now late Akhenaden. Everyone had some kind of injury, from ligaments missing to little scrapes. The men who would not survive were given the mercy stroke. (It's where you slit their throats so they die without any more suffering). It had stopped raining, but the clouds remained in the sky.
Bakura's men stood behind him watching the Pharaoh's guards. Atem's men did the same. The tension was so thick it almost seemed difficult to breathe. However Bakura only smirked at Atem who did the same back. They weren't going to fight each other, at least not now. More important matters were at hand then their life long feud. Atem turned to his.
"Take all the wounded back to the palace and asked the servants to prepare some rooms for Bakura and his men." he ordered. The guards stared at him for a moment then nodded and went to follow his orders. The thieves helped them carry any men to wounded to walk. Atem turned back to Bakura. "I trust you and your men won't steal anything from the palace?"
"Not until this Hondo guy is dead, no." Atem looked at him in surprise.
"You mean Hondo was behind this?" Hotaru stepped forward.
"Pharaoh Atem, Hondo is going to try and destroy Egypt. I saw it in my dreams."
Rei came over when she heard this. "That means he's the man I saw in my premonition. Remember Atem, I told you about it."
Atem nodded, recalling the vision of Egypt burning and him being dead. The young Pharaoh had more questions he wanted to ask but decided it was best for them to return to the palace first. The rest agreed and they all followed him in. Later they would retrieve the bodies of their men and bury them properly. Hondo's men would not get such respect.
YET ANOTHER NOTE!-This is to all my reviewers! i have a couple of things to say. One is-Thank you so much for reviewing. It may seem like you didn't do much but you actually did. I had a really bad day yesterday. First my history teacher was being an a.s.s to me and like half the class when we didn't even do anything. then i kind of had a fight with my mom and so i was really pissed the whole day. but when i got home and saw all your reviews it really made me happy, and i just want to thank you for that.
on a lighter note i still need help with pairing Rei up in my new story. i have 1 vote Duke, and 1 vote Marik. Hotaru is going to be with Allister. if you don't like it...well i forgot the point where i was supposed to care. Also i am writting another ygosm fic. (sad really. i can't come up with anything for the yyhsm i was going to write, but i come up with two for the ygosm). I already have the pairing i need for that...It's another Hotaru/Yami Bakura. what? i like that pairing. so which ever one i have more chaps of is the first one to come out after this one is done. k?k. that's all.
Spirit-well that's it for now!
Tenshi-i thought you said we would get to kill that priest!
Spirit-i'll bring him, so you all can kill him again. k?
Tensi-k!
