Koki: It's odd, I thought I had another chapter for this but I guess not. Anyway thank you for thereviews! I loved the enthusiaism in them it was great. Well here's the next chapter


Teanna fluttered open her eyes after long ago regaining consciousness. When she rolled over is when she realized she wasn't in the room she was being held in. She shot upright, glancing around wildly. She could tell now from the interior where she was. 'I'm in his room. Why am I here?' she thought. She felt something brush against her leg. She muffled her shriek as she jumped off the bed and landed on the floor. When she looked at the bed she saw that it was a cobra. She nearly froze on the spot. If it bit her, it could kill her. She heard a low growl and saw the cat stalking it. The snake slithered off the bed towards Teanna, who was in the corner of the room against the wall. It struck out at her but it never bit her because the cat jumped in front and took it.

"No!" She screamed.

She quickly glanced around the room and saw a large butcher knife hanging on one side wall. She quickly picked it up and killed the snake, chopping its head off. Knowing it would only take a few seconds for the poison to seep in, she placed her mouth over the wound and began to suck the poison into her mouth then spit it out. She continued to do this till only blood came out. Then she ripped off a piece from her skirt to use as a rag to press against the cat's wound. The cat mewed in slight pain when she applied pressure but she talked to it softly to calm it down and she pet its head and neck gently. The door swung open to reveal Bakura, startling Teanna in the process.

"What are you doing?" he asked suspiciously.

"She was bitten by a cobra. I pulled out the poison and now I'm stopping the wound from bleeding." She answered somewhat cautiously. He noticed the cobra on the floor in two pieces with his knife lying between them as he set his bag on the bed. He turned back to her. She was talking to the cat while inspecting the wound.

"Why are you helping her?" He asked.

"Because she helped me, the cobra tried to attack me but she jumped in front of me and was bit so I killed it." She answered.

He watched her as she continued tending to the cat. After a moment the cat was able to stand and she walked over to her master. Bakura knelt down, allowing the cat to rub its large head against his while he rubbed her side, minding her wound. Teanna watched the moment in slight awe and shock. More shock because she didn't expect he could ever be like that. Then she turned back to where the snake lay. She was considering what to do with it. She poked it to see if it was dead indefinitely. She picked it up and headed towards the door.

"Woman where do you think you're going?" he asked, still knelt down. She said nothing and left the room. Growling lightly to himself, he stood and followed her. She stepped a couple feet outside and tossed the pieces away. Brushing her hands off she turned back to go in, but Bakura suddenly appeared there, startling her.

"I do hope, for your sake woman, that you were not ignoring me deliberately." He said.

"Well I wasn't." She said.

"And I'll tell you now, woman, nothing gets by me." He continued.

"Teanna." She said.

He blinked. "What?" he asked in confusion.

She sighed. "My name is Teanna." She said then went around him to go back inside.


Jou came strolling into the room just as the second bell sounded. Seth glanced up to glare at him. Jou put up his hands in defense.

"Hey I ain't late so save it." He said.

"Sit down." Seth said sharply.

Jou walked in further and sat in the chair. "So…have you found anything?" Jou asked.

"As far as…?" Seth asked.

"Where Bakura hides?" Jou offered irritably.

"I found a few things." Seth began.

"But we won't know anything until the places are searched." He finished before Jou could say anything.

"And when are we doing to do that?" He asked.

"As soon as I finish what I'm doing." Seth answered.

Jou fought the urge to groan in frustration. This could be awhile.


Teanna jerked the material that was thrown at her, off her face and into her lap, angrily glaring at Bakura who merely ignored her and tossed something else at her.

"What is this?" She asked.

"Put it on. You have ten minutes." He said then left the room.

Teanna sighed angrily. She picked up the smallest article of cloth and examined it. She realized it was a skirt. She stood up and wiggled out of her current skirt, sliding the newer one on. It was a few inched longer than her other one she noticed. Turning around she picked up the other one and held it out in front of her. She realized that it was some type of robe. It would end at her knees, covering her entire body. Actually, know that she thought about it, it looked a lot like Bakura's. 'This is odd. Why would he do this?' She thought. She didn't realize how cold it really was until she put it on and wrapped it around her body. She sat on the bed and wrapped the robe tighter around her drawn up legs. Resting her chin on her knees, she realized how tired she really was. Half-consciously she lay down on the bed, curling her legs up beneath the robe. Within a couple minutes she was asleep.

"Are you finished?" He asked as he entered the room. His next retort was cut short when he saw her curled up on his bed asleep. He walked up to the foot of the bed and took her previous skirt up. As he pulled it up, twisting it around his hands, he caught whiff of a sweet scent. Frowning, he brought the material up to his nose and sniffed it. His eyes slightly widened when he realized it was coming from the skirt which meant it was on her. He swore silently to himself. He vowed from the first moment he saw her that he wouldn't become attracted to her. This would make it more difficult. Especially now that she was on his bed, asleep and vulnerable. But he wasn't one to take a woman by force, he usually didn't have to. He growled as he wound the skirt tighter. When it wouldn't wind anymore, he tugged it from his hands and threw it in the chair across the room. He knew she hadn't been sleeping so he decided to leave her as he went to make himself something to eat.


Bakura had tried to distract himself so he wouldn't think of Teanna but it was practically useless. He figured a few raids would help clear his mind but it didn't. He nearly slipped up a couple times and almost got caught but he managed to squirm his way out and get back to his hideout. When he went in his room, his cat was there but she wasn't. Narrowing his eyes he began searching the room. As his eyes swept across the room, he saw a piece of papyrus on the small nightstand, with one of his small daggers pinning it. Walking up to the stand he read it. 'I'll be back; I just needed to clean up.' 'That was it? She could've at least said where.' He thought. He caught the eagerness in his thought and cursed his damn hormones. He turned to his cat, which was lying on the bed watching him.

"Do you know where she went?" He asked. The cat rose off the bed and left the room, Bakura followed.


"Ah this feels so much better." Teanna sighed to herself. She dunked her head back under and flipped her hair back, smoothing it against her head as she straightened. She heard a rustling and whipped her head around towards the source. Through the bushes came the cat with her robe in its mouth. Teanna frowned in confusion then she heard a louder rustle followed by a string of curses. Eyes widening, she hurried out of the water and took her robe, pulling it over her body. She was folding her dry bindings up so she could wrap it around her waist like a belt, when Bakura finally appeared. She picked up her skirt as she watched Bakura struggling with a vine. She had to bite her lip to keep from laughing out loud. But a giggled slipped out as he got untangled and she slapped her hand over her mouth when he looked at her.

"Something funny to you?" He asked roughly.

She shook her head, still trying not to laugh.

"Really? Cuz you look like you're trying not to laugh." He said as he took a step towards her. She took a step back and to the side. They continued this till they were standing opposite where they were standing before. Then she suddenly turned around and ran into the trees towards the hideout. Bakura snorted in amusement.

"Stupid woman." He said then he called for his cat to follow him.


When she got back the closest room was his and even though she didn't want to, she ran in there to get dressed, hoping he wouldn't show up before she was done. She pulled her binding wrap from her waist then dropped her robe to the ground. She pulled on her skirt then reached for her wrap. She started beneath her arms, covering the tops of her breasts, when another hand suddenly took it from hers. Gasping, she turned her head to see who it was. Her eyes widened when she saw it was Bakura. He merely smirked at her and made her face forward.

She covered her flushed face with her hands as he wrapped her. He was deliberately taking his time especially when he came around front to her breasts. He lightly brushed his knuckles against them and she slightly shivered. She couldn't say she didn't like it but it scared her to death so she wanted to get as far away as possible. It seemed like forever but he finally finished. Teanna squatted down to retrieve her robe but Bakura stepped on it. He placed the tip of his long blade beneath her chin and made her stand. He trailed the blade along her collarbone as he walked around the front of her. She stood there, stiff as a board as he moved behind her. He traced idle patterns with his fingers on her back, smirking in satisfaction as goosebumps appeared on her skin. He put his hands on her shoulders and began running them down her arms. He was gonna move to her waist but she pulled away. He walked after her and as soon as he stepped off her robe, she snatched it up and ran from the room. After a few seconds he heard the door to the room beside his slam shut.

"Well I think I've officially freaked her out." He said.

"I need to try and get more information out of her." He continued.

He left his room and went into the kitchen. "Let's see where did I put it?" He mused.


Teanna sat in the corner in a tight ball with her robe wrapped around, concealing her body completely. She was scared but she'd never admit it. 'I want out of here.' She thought. 'Is anyone even looking for me?'

Then the door opened and Bakura walked in. "Get up and follow me." He said.

Teanna slowly stood up, keeping the robe closed as she took a few steps towards him. He turned around and left the room. She followed him to the kitchen where he made her sit at the table. Before her was a bowl of what looked like soup, and a spoon. 'Not again.' She thought. The cat wasn't in the room thought and he didn't look like he was leaving anytime soon. She looked at the bowl again then at him then the bowl again.

"Eat." He ordered. She was hesitant to do so.

"I know you didn't eat yesterday so don't think you were fooling me." He said. She winced slightly as she picked up the spoon and put it in the bowl. He lifted the spoonful to her mouth and swallowed. To her surprise it actually tasted good and her stomach growled, telling her to put more in. within five minutes it was gone.

"Good girl." Bakura smirked as he stood to retrieve her bowl. She glared at him as she wiped her mouth.

He sat down in the chair opposite her. "How long have you known the Pharaoh?" He asked.

"Since I was ten." She answered.

"And you're how old now?" He asked.

"Seventeen." She answered.

"How did you come to the position you're in now?"

She thought for a moment, trying to remember. "I was stealing fruit from the orchard when one of his guards caught me. I thought I was going to be killed but Yami took pity on me for some reason. He never told me why." She replied.

"How much do you know about the Pharaoh?" He asked.

"Whatever he felt comfortable telling me."

Bakura smirked. 'I think it's beginning to work.' He thought.

"And how did you become a dancer?" He asked.

"One of his people recognized me from the street and they decided that that's what I would do aside from a partial servant. Yami would try to talk to me at first but I was so scared of him and what might happen if I did anything wrong. But he wasn't a cruel person despite what others said and I grew comfortable around him, knowing he would never hurt me. I love him like a brother and I know he is out looking for me and will probably want you dead when he finds me." She said. Her eyelids were lazily staying open.

"Hmm I'm sure he does. Anything else?" He asked. Teanna slowly shook her head.

"Do you know where he keeps his gold? I know it's been moved." He asked.

She shook her head again. "I'm not supposed to know." She replied.

"Why not?" He asked.

"Because if I did and Iwere to bekidnapped by someone like you, then they would know the location." She answered.

He stood up as her eyes dropped to the floor and walked up behind her. He pushed his hand in her hair letting the silky strands slip through his fingers. Her head lulled back against his hand. He knew he could take her right now and she couldn't do a thing to stop him. 'Not like she could do much anyway.' He thought as he continued. He was considering it but he wasn't much for rape. It didn't feel right, almost a feeling a being dirty and he didn't like that. It actually made him sick thinking about it. He watched her face as she looked up at him. He had a hold of her hair in his hand and he tightened his grip. She didn't give any reaction so he pulled tighter. She still gave no reaction except for a small glint in her eyes that he couldn't identify. He tilted her head back and without fully thinking, put his mouth over hers. She let out a soft whimper as the kiss got rougher but she was able to keep up with him. He pulled back suddenly and let go of her. She grabbed the edge of the table to keep from falling as she panted and tried to catch her breath. He saw she was a passionate woman when she kept up unlike the others. Then he left the room but Teanna was too dazed and out of it to notice.


Koki: Well that's it for now. Hope it is to your liking!
