Six years later….

"Seraphic darling please stop squirming."

"But mama my hair is just going to get messed up again."

"If you wouldn't play with those boys it wouldn't get messed up and we wouldn't be doing this yet again." Isis, still under the guise of Kali pulled the brush through her daughter's hair.

"Mama be gentle. And I like playing with the boys. They are more fun than the girls."

Kali sighed.

A knock is heard from the door. Kali stands up and opens the door.

"Can Seraph play?" said a small dark-haired boy.

"Hello Nadai. She'll be out just as soon as I finish brushing her hair."

"Mama just forget my hair." Seraph squeezed past her mother and ran off with Nadai.

Kali looks up at the sky and says "A rebel, just like her father. Akur you would have loved her."

On the outskirts of town a band of thieves waited for the sun to vanish behind the dunes.

"You understand what you must do Bakura?"

"Yes father." Bakura replied.

His father patted him on the head affectionately "That's a good boy. You'll be a fine leader someday."

Bakura smiled up at his father "And one day I'll live in the palace."

His father laughed and said "Yes my son. You'll make a grand pharaoh."

Bakura's father walked over to his band of thieves. "We move at sunset. Everyone knows what to do."

"Seraph, where are you? I give up." Nadai called. "You win. Come on out."

He looked around but she was nowhere to be found.

"Seraph. It's getting late. Your mother will worry. Seraph! Seraph? Its not funny."

Seraph stepped out from behind the barrel and yelled "Boo!"

Nadai jumped and spun around.

Seraph laughed and said "Ha ha I scared you."

Nadai crossed his arms and said "Did not."

"Did too. I did too scare you. You jumped."

"Did not."

"Did too."

Kali walks up. "Are you two fighting again?"

"We're not fighting. I'm winning. He's losing. That's all there is to it."

"Not-uh"

"Yeah-huh"

Kali sighed. "Come on Seraph." She picks her daughter up and says "Nadai make your way home. Your mother is looking for you."

Nadai runs off and Kali walks towards home.

"Mama?"

"Hmm?"

Seraph yawns and snuggles closer in her mother's arms. "Tell me the story about daddy Akur again."

Kali smiled. "You've heard it a thousand times."

"I know but please?" Seraph pleaded.

"Alright. I was in the marketplace one day getting food when I met him."

"He was a merchant right?"

"Yes dear but would you like to tell the story or would you like me to?"

"You can. You tell it much better."

Kali smiled and continued." I was buying apples when I came upon a stand selling perfumes and such. The man behind the counter called me over. He smiled at me and asked me my name. I told him my name was Kali and he said "My dear what are you doing around this city unescorted? Where is your man?" I laughed and said-"

Seraph broke in dramatically "I have no man."

"Yes dear that's exactly right. I have to say it was love at first sight. We started a relationship but the elders did not think we should be together. They forbade us to see each other. But we didn't care. We were married and here you are." Kali walked into the house and set her daughter in her bed.

Seraph yawned and said "Is daddy ever coming back?"

Kali stopped and looked at her daughter forcing a smile. "One day. Now no more questions. Go to sleep."

Seraph snuggled down into her pillows and yawned again, "And when daddy Akur comes back we'll be a happy family."

"Yes, baby we will."

"Goodnight mama."

"Goodnight sweetheart. Sweet dreams."

Kali closed her daughters door and walked outside. She brushed a tear away and watching the sun set said "Yes my love. One day we will be together. One day." With those words she went back into the house and prepared for bed.

On the outskirts of town six thieves and a young boy made their way towards the city.

Bakura walked along holding onto his father's belt. "Are we gonna get a lot of stuff?"

His father looked down at him and smiled. "As much as you can stuff in your pockets my son."

"Is that it? That's not a lot."

Laughing he said "Okay as much as you can stuff in your pockets and this backpack." His father handed him a pack.

Bakura grinned and took the pack, slipping it on. "Let's go!"

"In a moment. We must wait until nightfall."

"But the sun is gone."

His father touched his shoulder and squatted down beside his son. "See all the lights?" his father said pointing. "They must all go out first. That will be your job. Watch and when there are no more lights come tell me. Alright?"

Bakura nodded and sat down to watch and wait.

His father smiled and returned to his comrades.

"Are you sure bringing your son was such a good idea?" one of the thieves asked.

"He's old enough and he won't be any trouble. Or would you rather sit there and wait for all the lights to go out?"

The other members laughed as the thief quickly shook his head.

"Then leave the lights to my son."

Laughter resounded on the dunes and reached Bakura's ears waking him.

He looked at the town and saw the one light that was left finally go out. Bakura jumped up and ran over to his father. "Papa all the lights are gone. Can we go? Can we?"

His father glanced at him and smiled "Yes we are leaving now." To the thieves "Move out. Bakura stay close by me. Leave everyone unharmed and take all that you can get. No one gets hurt. No one."

The thieves began to move towards the sleeping city.

Kali had finally fallen asleep when she was rudely awakened. She opened her eyes and saw Seraph standing there.

"What's wrong Seraph?"

"Mama." She said her chin quivering.

"What's wrong."

Seraph cupped her hand over her mother's ear and whispered "I heard noises. They're coming."

Kali tried not to smile and said "Who's coming darling?"

"The mosters. They come out at night and they take your soul. Can I sleep with you?"

"Have you been listening to Nadai's stories again?"

"No."

"Seraph."

"Yes."

Kali sighed. "Yes you can sleep with me." She lifted the covers and Seraph scrambled into the bed."

Kali looped her arm over her sleeping daughter and fell asleep with a smile on her face.

She was awakened later to shouts. Kali stood up and went to the door to find out what was going on. Suddenly she was grabbed around the waist and a hand clamped over her mouth before she could scream. The man pulled her into the house.

"Mama?" Seraph asked standing in the doorway. "Mama?"

The man tightened his grip on her and said tell her its alright."

Kali said "Seraph honey go back to bed. Everything is fine."

"But mama the monsters." Suddenly the second thief picks her up. "We don't have time for this."

"Guards!" A shout comes from outside.

"We have to go."

Kali struggled and the thief struck her on the head with the hilt of his dagger.

"Bring the child. She's seen our faces and the boss said no one was to be harmed."

The thieves fled from the city with a struggling Seraph in tow.

Back at the meeting place the thieves assemble.

"So we didn't do as well as I had hoped but we'll do better."

A cry of pain is heard as Seraph bites her captors hand drawing Bakura's father's attention.

"You idiot you brought a child!"

"She saw our faces."

"Well don't let her escape." Another thief broke in.

Seraph was grabbed and subdued gently.

"We'll take her back when things calm down. You never take a child-Where's Bakura?"

Everone looks around and realized the young rare boy is missing.

Meanwhile back in the city….

The young white-haired Egyptian boy crouched behind a barrel. He watched as the guards ran through the town. He looked around but couldn't find his father or any member of the band anywhere.

A guard swooped down and grabbed his wrist. "Well we have a rare one here, now don't we? I've never seen you in the city before."

Another guard walks up, "Probably thief trash. Bring him. He'll fetch a pretty penny from the palace."

"Yes they usually look for the rare ones for slaves." He yanked on Bakura's arm. "Come on boy!"

Bakura struggled and screamed "NO! Papa where are you?"

The guards dragged him off. "We'll ship him off to Thebes tomorrow morning."

Back at camp….

Baura's father was pacing in front of the fire.

The other thieves were trying unsuccessfully to calm him down.

"I'm sure he's fine." Said one.

"Yeah he's a smart boy. He probably just got scared and hid." Said another.

"When everything calms down we'll go back and look for him." Said the first one.

"Guards are coming this way. We can't stay here any longer."

Bakura's father glanced up. "I'm not leaving my son behind."

"You're no good to him if you're dead. We'll come back in a few day's time."

Bakura's father sighed and said "Alright let's go."

"And the child?"

"Bring her with us but you're responsible for her."

The thieves mounted their horses and rode off into the night.

Kali stirred and sat up, her head pounding. Suddenly she remembered Seraph.

"Seraph?" she called. "Seraph? Where are you? Answer me!"

Kali began to frantically search the house. She ran outside and yelled "Seraph!"

Silence greeted her.

Kali fell to her knees and sobbed "First my lover and now my daughter. Will it never end?"
