After All This: Chapter four
My love has died, I feel lost somehow... but with the death of the two King's I have risen in power as the new King of Thieves while that low dirt rat Heio has taken the throne and declared himself Pharaoh. If I could I'd kill that man every night with my bear hands. With the power of a Millennium item I shall take the kingdom by force.
Now that a year has past of the newly risen power, I feel that it's time to make my move and that is what I did. With the help of the Millennium rod I have gain some slight advantages and including some mystic powers. My group and I have taken the kingdom's city... and it is now time to hit the palace.
Pharaoh Heio has fallen, murdered by my hands. I can still remember what took place. It took less then a week to over take the guard's and not long to get rid of this meaningless Pharaoh.
"Oh, well wow. That is something." Danu said, slightly shocked. "That's all that it say's then is it?"
"Yep. Down to the very last mark." Bakura nodded.
"Okay, so who was the new King of Thieves?" Ryou asked.
"Yeah, he worked for both of you at one point or another." Yugi added.
Bakura frowned slightly and then glanced over at Yami. "I seem to have no memory of him. Yami?"
Yami just shrugged. "I'm coming up blank as well. Sorry guy's I don't remember too much of my past. Just bits and pieces."
"That's alright boys, one day your full memories will return." Danu said, putting a hand on both Egyptian's shoulder.
Bakura and Yami smiled at the man, then taking hold of each others hand they started walking down the hallway.
"It must be hard for them." Danu said. "Not remembering a lot about there past before the died."
Ryou sighed as he watched his father follow the other two. "Yugi..."
"Yeah I know Ryou." Yugi said, taking hold of the other's hand. "Do you... have you felt something odd around lately?"
"Like another person?" Ryou asked.
"Yes." Yugi nodded.
"Well I'm glad you can feel it too and I'm not the only one." Ryou said.
"Since we left the motel?" Yugi inquired.
"Yep, since then I've felt like someone has been following us and even watching us." Ryou said, with a small shiver.
"I know it's really un-nerving." Yugi said, with a slight smile to cheer the other up.
Ryou returned the favour and the two went to catch up to the other's.
Danu had gone up ahead of Bakura and Yami a little way's so he never heard what Ryou and Yugi had spoken about or had seen the dreaded worry on the older couple's faces.
"Yami..." Bakura said, the second there lights had finished speaking.
"I know, love. I'm thinking about the other night as well... I too can feel the eyes of another on us. Like the one from my..." Yami quickly, closed his mouth not wanting to bring it up or worry Bakura.
But he had been too late, Bakura caught on. "Yami, what aren't you telling me?"
"What do you mean? I'm not hiding anything." Yami said quickly, as he looked anywhere but his lover's eyes.
"Yami!" Bakura hissed ripping his hands out of Yami's... "I know this has something to do with last night so what where you about to say?"
"It's nothing Bakura; it's just most likely nothing. Just some crazy wacko, who wants to steal something from us," Yami quickly said, flinching slightly at the look in Bakura's eyes.
"Fine. When you finally decided to tell me the truth, come for me." Bakura shouted, as he turned and started walking back.
Ryou and Yugi shot Yami a look as Bakura stormed by them.
"Yami." Ryou said the same look as Bakura has flashed threw his eyes. "What the hell was that all about?"
"I..." Yami stammered, and then sighed. "I guess I should tell you."
Danu walked up interested as he had been watching all of it from a distance.
"The other night I was suddenly woken up by a dream I had, the room was cold. I looked and found that the window was open and figured that Bakura had opened it. But then he woke up and asked me why I opened the window. Bakura then went and shut the window and we discovered that the lock on the window was broken and someone from the outside opened it." Yami sighed. "The dream that had woken me was this; I was sleeping when the sudden sound of the window being open. There before me was a tall shadow, it entered the room and I asked who they where and why they were breaking in. That we had nothing of value. Then the other told me, he called me Pharaoh... he said that I do have something of value and that it used to be his and that he wanted it back. I of course asked what he was talking about. He whispered Bakura's name, called him his and that he wanted Bakura back and that I couldn't stop him. I... I told him that he would never get his hands on Bakura and to leave. He left saying that he would be back."
"Oh god... Yami why didn't you say something earlier?" Yugi asked.
"I was just a dream, but I know someone had been in our room watching us and I can feel the same person watching us now." Yami said, shuddering. "Also Bakura's pissed at me because he knows I'm hiding something."
"With good reasons." Ryou said. "But Bakura hates when people keep things from him."
"I know I'm going to go find him and tell him the truth." Yami said going in the direction Bakura had left.
Bakura felt tear's come to his eyes as he stormed out of the palace. "Damn Pharaoh, can't even tell me when something's bothering him. How does he expect this relationship to work if he can't trust me?"
"Aww, is someone having problems with there Pharaoh Lover?" A teasing voice, questioned from above.
Who's there?" Bakura asked, panic in his voice as he turned around quickly.
The sound of someone dropping down behind him was heard. "I could make all your pains go away. Just like I used to, when you where king."
Bakura turned around slowly, a name slipped out of his lips. "Marik..."
