Chapter 9 Unfortunate Meeting
Bakura moved forward and his fingers tightened around the knife hilt unconsciously as he silently moved towards Yami in the silence of the night.
"Chaos what is wrong with you all you seem to do is be looking over your shoulder like someone is going to kill you or something." Yami said emphasizing the fact with hand motions. Yami growing hot removed his outer robe and handed it to an attendant then loosened his silk white tunic Revealing darkened skin beneath.
"More than you know Pharaoh." Bakura said thinking.
Then seeing the bare chest where a heart should be of Yami Bakura went out of control, he charged and Yami only had enough time to react by grabbing the knife had and push it away from his heart as they tumbled to the ground. Bakura's hand was trying to get to Yami and suddenly he felt himself being lifted off of Yami, with his hand free it tried to stab Yami only to connect with something.
Opening his eyes saw Chaos half-closed with blood dripping down his shoulder.
Yami rose as guards locked Bakura's arms behind him twisting them up so he would lean forward, causing unnecessary pain. Bakura looked ashamed. He had just stabbed Yami's most trusted shadow mage.
"Take him to the prison tent for now…But do no harm to him." Yami emphasized on those last words. Bakura was afraid that his friend had changed. Heart followed her master glad to see him just not under these circumstances. Once the guards had put their chains on Bakura and staked him to the ground then left heart slipped into the tent and said, "Bakura?" Unsure of what to do.
Bakura looked up and surprised to see Heart said, "I must see Yami, I need to have you get him and go help Chaos." Heart thought about this, before she blamed not being near her master upon that tall, dark mage. Now she realized that it was because of the curse that had been laid upon him by his father. She nodded now feeling sorry for the poor hurt mage.
Leaving the tent went to where Yami was standing looking out at the desert lost in his memories. "Pharaoh." She said addressing him as he turned, "The prisoner Bakura wishes to speak with you and I was wondering if I could care for your wounded mage?"
Atem looked at this young woman, he had seen her around before and assumed with the medical crew not placing where he had seen before. Bakura wanted to talk with him. Well I suppose I can go after all Bakura always has a reason for doing something. And this woman looks capable enough to help my stubborn mage who will not listen or let any other medical person touch him. Even his sister can't get him to let her help. I wish his mother was here…No I would not bring down demolition upon her son by her I am not that cruel.
"You may go and help my mage, he is stubborn so you will have to work hard to get him to cooperate, and Yes I shall go to see Bakura." Yami said walking towards the prison tent.
Heart turned and quietly went to the tent where the doctor was trying to convince Chaos to let him take the knife out of his wound.
"Please Master Mage, if you don't want infection in that wound we must take the dagger out. You will slowly die of blood loss if you do not let us help."
"I'll take care of myself."
"You can't take a dagger out of your own shoulder! You will harm yourself more!"
Heart stepped up to the doctor and said, "Doctor, Let me take care of this, Yami is letting me take command of this stubborn mage."
Doctor relieved to not have to deal with Chaos left. Chaos looked up his eyes narrowing, "What do you want ?"
"I want to heal you."
"Oh you mean you aren't going to slice my other cheek?" He said very sarcastically.
"No," feeling guilty for having scarred the mage then took hold of the dagger before he could stop her she pulled it out quickly, causing him to double over and then gasp and breathe quicker.
Gasp. "You," gasp, "Don't", gasp, "Touch..Me!" Gasp he said as she drew near and then changed into her full form. Chaos gasped, this woman was a Change of Heart card. He had no hope she could use her abilities to change his heart to force him to work with her.
"You have no choice." she said approaching him her fingers ready for action. Chaos shivered at having those fingers touch him he wasn't going to like this….
Yami made his way towards the prison tent and found Bakura kneeling with his wrist's chained to the ground and he was not able to move. Bakura had tears dripping down his face, he felt hurt that Yami did this to him yet he knew that it was because of what his curse had commanded him to do.
Yami felt startled at seeing his friend like this, wounds still fresh from when Media hurt him starting to show through his brown tunic, blood showing around his wrist's from the pressure and rubbing of chains around his wrists.
Yami went forward and kneeling unlocked the stake and pulled his friend into a hug. "I am sorry Bakura, I did not mean for you to be hurt in this tent."
Bakura stiffened when Yami had hugged him fearing the worst then relaxed as Yami spoke kind words from his lips. "What happened to you?" Yami said tracing a scar on Bakura's wrist.
Bakura shivered and tried to pull his wrist away, but exhaustion of the Physical and mental kind were everywhere in him.
"My father did one last attack and that was from the glass in the window he tried to throw me through after he cursed me."
"A curse? What curse tell me." Yami said now washing Bakura's wounds as he had removed the chains.
"My father said that if ever I was to be in sight of you that my hand would not stray from killing you."
"Oh…So that is why you left." The young Pharaoh stated with out much flair.
"Yes. Are you angry at me for not telling you at all? I mean I just took off. I was scared you would try to contact me and then I would go out of control and then kill you and I didn't want to kill you I mean you are my best friend…"Bakura was stopped in his speech by Yami's hand .
"Quiet friend. At first I was confused at why you would just leave and then slightly angry but I forgave you the minute that I saw you were gone in my heart. Now tell me all that had happened to you while we were apart, friend and I shall do the same for you." Yami said with amusement on his face.
So Bakura told everything from Media to him being the Ruler of a country near there. And Yami told of all that had conspired with him.
As they spoke an entirely different series of events were being played out by another two in the healing tent.
"Don't Touch me woman!"
"I will touch you till you are healed!"
"Touch me and you die!"
"Oh really like that could stop me!"
Chaos was standing up and trying to get away from a very determined little woman (at least little to him) and get out of this stupid tent. He was still bleeding and he didn't care he wanted to get away from Heart if it was the last thing he did. When Heart's fingers had touched his skin he knew that he would not be able to handle this woman touching him.
"YOU WILL OBEY ME OR I WILL FORCE YOU TOO!" Heart said getting very heated.
"OVER MY DEAD BODY!"
"very well I will take things into matter I see that the time had come for me to bring in the reserves." She flicked her hand and a large stick appeared, it was Chaos's.
Chaos frowned and then concentrating repossessed his staff. Using shadow magic covered himself with a dark magic shield and protecting himself from her attacks successfully. But he knew in his weakened state he wouldn't last long if she kept it up.
Heart furious that this stubborn man would not want help just because he didn't care about himself, he would rather die then admit that he was doing something wrong.
Chaos could feel his energy sapping slowly his force field was getting weaker and weaker. Finally his knees gave out and he nearly fell to the ground a pain searing up his back as if an instant fire had been awoken. Heart ran forward, this man's stobbornness would be the death of him before the end.
"Now will you listen to me and let me help you?" Heart said helping Him to a nearby bed.
Chaos's eyes were opening and closing from the pain and exhaustion that was filtering through his body. As she carefully wrapped and cleansed each wound she felt Chaos relaxing slowly under her fingers.
Finding the tense stiff muscles and loosening them with her fingers causing Chaos to groan. After awhile Chaos's face went towards Heart and he asked.
"Lady," heart turned her head at Chaos's face, "Why did you harm me when I showed up to find Bakura?"
Heart blushed, "I thought you were there to harm my master, he had been hurt too many times in his life and I felt that you were intruding on him."
"You certain tally made your point," he said running his finger down the white scar on his face. The his eyes slowly closed the medicine put in his open wounds starting to affect the master mage. Slowly the steady breathing of the man's chest was the only sound in the tent.
Heart leaned over and carefully traced her handiwork on his cheek, then leaned down and kissed the scar. Covering up the mage left to see how Yami and Bakura were coming along in fixing their friendship with one thought running through her head.
"My, Chaos is very wonderfully handsome when he sleeps." She walked away not even realizing where her thoughts had taken her.
Meanwhile Media smiled this section of his plans was complete, turning to his captain of the guards.
"Take your regiment of soldiers and go through those tunnels to the center of Egypt and taker her. Kill every male you see."
The malicious guard smiled and said, "Your wish is my command, my King."
The captain inwardly shivered at having to go through the catacombs to reach the inner city of Egypt but that was his leader's command so he must obey.
Little did Media know of the one flaw in his "perfect" plan.
