Chapter 7 Hate-Hate relationship

The guards that were coming in the room went forward and one said, "His majesty requires your presence immediately."

Bakura stood there not moving. The guards went forward and each grabbing an arm led him away out of the room not noticing that there should be a girl in the room.

Going down the hallway went past many vulgar pictures and scenes Bakura at those periods in the walk just closed his eyes and allowed the soldiers to lead him away.

They did not immediately enter a room with Media in it, they went through a low door and then he heard with his eyes were closed the snapping of whips and cries of pain.

Opening his eyes saw to his fear that they were taking him to the torturing chambers. He started to struggle he didn't want to get hurt he hated the feeling and memories it would give him. He tried to escape the soldiers iron grip struggling and finally turned animal to the guards. He turned and bit into the guard's ungloved hand and bit down HARD!

"AAAHH!!!" The moving iron cast man said screaming. (These soldiers were wearing full body suit that is except one glove.) Bakura had one arm free but he was not so lucky with the other guard. Him having seen that Bakura was biting hands had grabbed the flat of his sword and pointed it at Bakura bringing him into a hug with a sword at his throat.

Bakura froze.

"Now worm," the guard said to Bakura, "We shall continue or I shall see your blood upon this floor."

He threw Bakura across the room and he hit the stone wall. The soldier had walked behind him so Bakura wouldn't fall to the ground.

The second guard came over and taking his heavy metal gauntlet he hit Bakura's face really hard with it causing blood to come forth.

After chaining his wrists to chains above his head the two guards got out their whips. Bakura knelt there arms over his head and waited for them to start while blood dripped into his face. Then it started, the guards took turns whipping him each seemed to be harder than the last for each time he grew weaker from the power of each slash. Finally they stopped after the 50th slash. They unchained him and then had to literally take his arms and drag/carry him to Media now that they were done hurting him. (All the while the fuzz ball has been madly trying to find Bakura cause they left him behind when the took Bakura and he woke after they had left.)

Upon entry in Media's gaming room (actually war room he thought of it as a big game.) Bakura closed his eyes not wanting to see the scene, which he knew, was there.

After some talking and movements he opened his eyes and saw young girls with chains on their necks and wrist's helping Media stand up.

Media once standing made the girls leave, walking to Bakura and said, "Well my friend's son you see you have no choice but to help me. Otherwise this will happen to you and I will put you within sight of the Pharaoh of Egypt and force you to continue the curse your father put you under. After all why should you care that Yami Atem lives? He would only cause problems for you as you steal…as I hear that you are doing lately." Media stood and walking over (more like waddling over) touched one of the fresh wounds.

"If you fight against me this is what you get, if not…I shall show you how hospitable I can be." Turning to the silk curtains called, "Girls come and care for Bakura's wounds, he needs special care." Media demanded as he sat down in a very large cushion filled chair to watch.

The guards let the chained slave girls take Bakura. Bakura too weak to fight back was forced to endure through something he hated, being adored by girls. (YUCK!!) Taken to a leaning chair they laid him down. As Media left leaving the cruel guards in command one of the slave girls whispered to Bakura, "Who ever you might be, the moment you have a chance get out of here. I am from on of Prince Asrabakura's (Bakura) villages he took me from my home to serve him. He claims to all of our country that he has the Prince in his jail and if we don't cooperate he will kill him. Get away, he will use you in ways unimaginable and be careful what you received this night was only the lightest of what those guards do to some of our people." Then she grew silent as the guard drew closer.

Bakura thought, "Ever since I was taken from my mother's land after she died Media was supposed to be caring for my land not controlling it! He has lied to me about the land I wonder what else he will lie about in the coming days." He quickly closed his eyes as the slave that had spoken to him accidentally touched quite harshly a very sore shoulder that was still recovering from when he had gotten beat up in the alley and now was given new force of pain.

He shuddered in pain and then whispered to the girl as the guard moved away, "Girl tell your friends and your people that the Prince will do all he can to change what has been happening to them."

"How do you know sir? After all how could you know such things?"

"Because young maid, I am Asrabakura. My mother was Sarknorakisna the queen who ruled you…"

"How can this be? Media said that you were near death a few days ago but here you are with only a few major wounds." She asked being extra careful about how she washed his wounds.

Sitting up slightly said, "Because I was not here in this castle with Media until yesterday. I have lived most of my Life in Egypt and then the last few months in a village not far from here."

They both grew silent as Media returned and smiled, "I see you are relaxing under my best slave wench's hands…GIRL see that he becomes as relaxed as a child have gone to sleep."

"Yes Master." She said softly and began to rub his shoulders softly on special pressure points that guarantee one will go to sleep. Soon Bakura had started to lean back and ended up with his head in her lap sound asleep.

She thought as he lay there, "My Prince is alive and well, and he wants to save us. I will try and help him escape from Media so he may bring this about."

Meanwhile a fuzz ball had finally found bakura and had curled up beside him as to not lose him again.

These thoughts that fill within my head,

Can you see them like you said?

Will you be my forever friend?

Forget the fears that never end.

Go higher still as you can fly,

To catch the morning magic's sigh.

Be in my thoughts and fill my mind,

Give me hope and songs that rhyme.

To read your mind,

See what is said.

Forever friend to not be dead.

Flying higher for your kind,

Create your silver with great signs.

I am here amid your mind,

Never forget our precious rhymes.

Kindred Spirit in eternals bind,

Kindred Spirit forever mine. (Kindred Spirit By Kara Emery)

Chaos and Dark had returned quickly but ignored Yami's protests that they should go back to Bakura, no matter what Yami or Dark or even Sage asked or ordered Chaos refused to go back.

He was mad at the woman who had caught him off guard and cut him deeply with a HOT fire poker on his face. He had the weapon in his room on his windowsill. Looking in a mirror you could see a cut from just above his cheekbone to almost his chin. It was turning into a white-scarred line but was still a visible line and not matter what form he was in it would show.

"Chaos please come out of your room." Yami asked kindly from the other side of a huge oak door on Chaos's room up in the top of the castle's tower.

"No I will not." Chaos said simply. "I will come when you go to go among the people for protection but no sooner." Chaos said great hate in his voice.

"Okay I am leaving now so see you at the stables." Yami said giving up.

"Brother come on what is wrong why are you hiding away in your dark room since we left Bakura what Happened that I do not know of?" Magician asked softly very near tears. Her big brother had avoided her cheery hello and gone to his room she had felt hurt and rejected.

She heard the slight crack of his door as he opened it; He came out and gave her a hug. "Sister I am just mad because someone got the advantage of me when I was not ready."

"What happened?"

"Remember the girl that Dark told you of?"

"Yes"

"Well she had a hot fir poker and cut my face."

"Let me see."

Because he was so tall he had to lean down and then kneel to let her see. Magician ran her finger gently over the scar and said, "You know if it hadn't been hot it would not have scarred."

"Yes I know. That is why I am spending time hating her. Every one will be asking about it for ages, especially mother."

"Oh dear, Mother will go crazy. We will just have to have you or her avoid each other. Or show her and get it over with?" She asked hugging him.

"No I would rather die then go through the examination that she gives when any of our family is wounded. Come sister, Yami is waiting at the stables and just about to mount his horse let's go." And they both vanished in a puff of nothing. He was so good at disappearing that he didn't have a puff of magic when it happened.

Down in the courtyard, Yami had just mounted his horse when Chaos's horse appeared to be waiting for it's master and Dark Magician Girl's was also. Then the two appeared out of nothing and were there. Yami smiled and said, "Let's go Chaos…Chaos what is that on your face?"

Chaos turned to Magician, "See sis it has already begun."

They began to ride to the war house of Egypt, where the council members and higher nobility were going to meet and discuss what to do with the incoming attacks of Media.

As they rode through the streets the people parted and cheered, Chaos never noticed that one of these people was looking at him with a gaze of pure hatred. And at Yami with respect.

Heart looked up from the crowd as the Pharaoh and his guards passed, there were many foot soldiers in front of them and then the Pharaoh's honor guard, as the leader of the honor guard you got to ride on Yami's right hand side. There riding beside the one who Bakura wanted her to protect was the one who had ruined her life. The one whom she had hit with a large and hot fire poker and a scar ran down his left side of face shining white in the sun. Looking closer saw the large staff he carried showing he was of the more powerful shadow creatures he was terrible and scary looking but She was just plain mad at him. It was this person's fault that she was sent away from her master. So she would hate him. He had been sent to guard Yami but that did not mean she didn't have to hate those who served him.

She looked closer and over heard Yami say to this shadow guard "Oh Chaos lighten up. What is in you today? You act like you just destroyed the whole world and can't fix it."

Hearing HIS voice was doubly hating him, another other person would have fallen in love with Chaos but she hated him to the fullest.

"Master, please do not question why I am acting this way, I am just deeply angered please leave it at that."

"Alright Chaos but later or sometime I expect an answer."

Heart who at the time was closest to Chaos at the moment heard him mutter, "If I have my way you will never know."

She then met with his eyes.

Chaos after muttering looked down at the crowd his eyes were drawn to one set of eyes. These were full of hatred and despise. Shocked realized that this was the woman who had harmed him. His eyes grew cold as he rode on and she could see and knew that his eyes were as cold as her eyes were at that very moment.

In the meeting the nobles were discussing plans they decided to each protect their own property that bordered the border and whoever's property did not they would help the bordered nobles with the war on the borders. The borders that held the kingdom's property though Yami Atem would cover and keep safe and if ever on place there were too many soldiers they would send word to another's army for help.

Yami that night looked out at the stars and sighed then said as he saw a falling star, "Oh star I see tonight I wish I may I wish I might have this one wish for me tonight, that I may see Bakura and what is going on with him. For I miss him and wish that we could have some of what we used to do together." Turning went to bed and fell asleep.

Far away a faithful person (now slave girl) of Bakura's kingdom was caring for her wounded King. And the other girls who had heard of Bakura set out in a way to find a way of escape for their leader. And unknown to all they were opening a portal of shadow to the village closest to Egypt where these girl's had lived and it was within sight of Egypt's huge palace.

Krystal Fox: Hope you liked it. It is finally getting some action to what is the basis of my story. This is getting very good and I don't want to stop the story till like chapter 20 or 25 so hopefully that will happen.
