Chapter 2. finding the king of thieves,
Yami POV
Every night I could hear Mira cry, she stayed in one of the rooms next to mine which was made for personal servants. Of course I knew how the other servants treated her, because she had only just come to work at the palace and was already higher in rank than them. One night 3 months after she arrived I heard her cry again this time even worse then other times, I had if I could do something to take away her sadness so I went into her room. Making a mental note to have our royal servants punished for the way they treated Mira.
"Please don't cry, tell me what I can do to make you happy. I hate seeing you unhappy." I said putting my arms around her to comfort her.
"I wanna go home, I miss Baku, Mar, Ishi and Odi. I hate being a servant the others treat me like I'm their slave and everyone is so mean to me." Mira said through her tears.
"You know I can't let you go home, but there may be something else I can do." I said as I got up and left.
I went into the stables and snuck out a horse. Making sure no one saw me I snuck into the shadows, silently thanking Mira for teaching me how to move unseen and unheard. Silently walking through the shadows I made it out of the palace walls into the city. Once halfway through the city I got onto the horse and realized that my journey might end here.
"Smart move, going to get Bakura without knowing where he lives." I said to myself.
Suddenly a pair of hands pulled me off of the horse and into the shadows
"Why would the little pharaoh be looking for the king of thieves." Said a voice.
"I have to see him." I said calmly. "I have a message for him."
Strangely enough I wasn't scared, but excited. I'd never left the palace without guards before so this was in my opinion very exciting. I never wanted to become pharaoh, I wanted something more exciting. When I first saw Mira I wished I could switch with her, her life seemed so much better than mine. Living a live of secrets and mystery never knowing what's going to happen next. It seemed so much better than sitting on a throne all day telling people how to live their lives. There I was standing in the shadows with a man holding me, not knowing what he'll do. This was so cool, I didn't even think about the fact that I might die
"What if I told you, you can't see him?" The man said.
"I have to, for Mira." I said my voice still calm and without fear.
"What do you know about Mira?" The man said suddenly angry, pulling out a knife.
"I know she's ill of sadness because she misses him and her friends. I went to get them in hopes of making her happy again so she'll get better. I'd let her go home, but father says she can't. So I thought that if I can't let her go to him I could let them come to her, but I forgot to ask where she lives." I told him.
He let me go and walked away.
"Are you alone?" He asked.
I nodded. "They don't know I left. I snuck out when the guards switched. No one saw me leave."
"Then follow me, I'll take you to him." The man said.
So now I was running with this stranger through the shadows as silently as we could. After about 40 minutes we reached the desert and there far outside of the city in the desert stood a small house, the stranger led me up to this house and knocked.
"Who goes there?" Came a voice from inside.
"Odeon, brother of Marik and Ishisu of the Ishtar family." The man said.
The door opened and revealed a boy my age with sandy-blond hair and lilac colored eyes.
"Odeon?" He said in surprise upon seeing me.
"Don't worry, brother. The little pharaoh gave me his word, no harm will befall us. Go get Bakura." Odeon said as he pushed into the house and down a flight of stairs, all the while holding my shoulder tightly.
When we reached the room at the bottom of the stairs I was pushed into a chair. Soon the sandy haired boy named Marik returned with Bakura and a young woman. All three of them and Odeon sat down in front of me.
"Well you came to talk to me, I'm listening kid. Bakura said.
"Mira is ill, the doctors say it's because she misses her family and that she'll die of sadness if she doesn't see her family soon. My father won't let Mira leave, so I thought if I can't let her go back to her family maybe I could ask them to come to her. So will you come? It would make Mira so happy." I said without hesitation.
"Of course we'll come. You should know from our last encounter that I'd do anything for Mi. You're a good kid and brave too, or so Odeon tells me." Bakura said getting up. "Let's go, Mi is waiting. Odi get him a cloak."
Odeon nodded and left the room, returning almost immediately with a cloak. The cloak was made of a dark-purple fabric, just like theirs only it was a little to big for me. Marik helped me get into it.
"I feel like I'm wearing a circus tent." I said looking at myself.
Marik laughed as he pulled out a rope and tied it around my waste in such a way that I could see my feet.
"I know, here this should do the trick." He said continuing to roll up my sleeves as well.
"Thanks." I said as I tried walking around with it.
"Let's go." Bakura said as he walked out of the house.
Once back at the palace came the problem of getting back in.
"We can't go in that way my father put guards there, after the last time I left through there, but I know a way that'll get us directly into my chambers. Father doesn't know it's still there because I used a magic seal to hide it." I said as I led the way.
Mira POV
When Yami suddenly left I followed him, he went to the stables and left the palace with a horse. I climbed up the wall and watched him race of into the city.
'Where's he going?' I wondered as I jumped down and went back to my room.
Once back in my room I lay down in my bed, but I couldn't sleep. I missed my family and I worried about what Yami was doing. After what seemed like hours I felt a hand cover my mouth then someone bent down close to my ear and softly whispered my name.
I smiled now I knew where Yami had gone of to. The hand was still on my mouth and I answered it by kissing said hand. The hand let go of my mouth and joined the other in pulling me against my brother's chest.
As far back as I can remember my brother always did this just before we went to bed, it was our way of saying goodnight before going to sleep with him holding me.
"Guess who came with me?" My brother said softly.
"The person that went to get you I hope and maybe the others?" I told him with a yawn.
"Yep. Yami says he's going to try and make it so we can visit you as often as possible." My brother said.
"I know a spell that can help me talk to people far away, I can use it to let your brother know when it's safe to come. " Yami said happily.
"Does the pharaoh know you know such spells?" Odeon asked suspiciously.
"Father wouldn't know even if I used one in front of his face. He's always to busy to notice anything I can do other than what I need to do to become a good pharaoh. Sometimes I wonder if he even knows me at all." Yami answered looking a little sad.
All night we talked and laughed until it was time for my brother and friends to leave again.
"We should leave now." Bakura said getting up.
"I'll let you know when you can come by again." Yami said as we all walked to the secret tunnel in his bedroom.
"A passageway under your bed. Cool." I said.
"I know, no one but you, me and them knows about it." Yami said as he made some move with his hand.
The bed went into the air and the passageway became visible as he did this.
"Take care sis, I'll be back." Bakura said as he hugged me.
"Night Baku, Ishi, Mar, Odi." I said as they descended into the secret passageway.
"Night." They answered before leaving.
Yami made the funny move again and the passageway disappeared and the bed went down.
"Thanks." I said hugging him.
"I'll do anything as long as you're happy." Yami said.
Then I left his room and went to my own.
When I got to my room I fell down on my bed. I was exhausted but happy. Having seen my brother and friends had really helped.
From that day on I worked hard during the day and at night my brother and friends would come and we'd talk about random things sometimes Yami showed us some of him tricks and when his father wasn't in the palace at night we'd even play duel monsters. I loved these moments but I knew one day it had to go wrong.
That's chapter 2, not very long but definitely sweet.
