88 Last Time 88

She opened the door and stormed out. "Well excuse me for over sleeping." she snapped as she stormed down the hall. The two siblings just looked at each other and shook their heads. Then they quickly caught up with her and soon were on their way to the tomb of the late Pharaoh Akhenamkhanen.

88 This Time 88

The sun beat down on the group as they traveled through the hot desert. It had been nearly two hours since they set out to reach the tomb. Even though it was still morning the sun did not let up on it's heat. Soon the image of their destination appeared before them. It seemed like heaven to them.

"Hotaru you will come with me once we reach it alright?" Isis said. The violet eyed girl nodded before taking another gulp of water.

"Say Hotaru when do you actually become a full priestess?" Marik asked riding up alongside her.

She thought about it for a moment. "Not till some time next year. Why?"

"Just curious. It took Isis a lot longer to become a full priestess though." Hotaru thought about that. Yes it had taken Isis nearly 7 or so years to become that. Why was she taking less time? She doubted she was more dedicated to the job, after all she didn't exactly pay to much attention to it.

Rishid came over to them. "Perhaps it is because Isis will soon be needed more at the palace than at the temple. Hotaru is the only other priestess in training that could take her place." they nodded.

There was one problem though. Hotaru didn't want to be a priestess. She didn't really know what she wanted to be, but definitely not this. It was so boring and all you ever did was pray and make offerings. Not exactly a dream job of many. Plus you weren't allowed to have a family. Only priests could.

"Well guess I'm lucky aren't I?" she asked sarcastically. The two shook their heads at her but still smirked.

They soon reached the tomb and gave their horses to the stable hands. Hotaru followed the priestess inside to a large room filled with gold, food, and clothes. It was for the Pharaoh in the afterlife. The adjoining room was the one that held the Pharaoh. These two rooms was where they would be doing the offerings.

"Well shall we get started Hotaru?" Isis asked. The girl sighed and nodded. It was going to be a long day for them. Quickly the two got all that was required and set to work.

Hotaru looked at the inscriptions on the walls as she brought in a basket of bread. "Hey Isis, can I read this?"

Isis looked up to see what she meant. "Later, right now we need to get going." Hotaru nodded and followed her with her basket. Truthfully she doubted she would have time throughout the day. Therefore she would have to make her own.

It was late at night. A figure swiftly moved from shadow to shadow with in the tomb. Careful not to set off any of it's many traps. Silently they entered the next room where the old Pharaoh's body was kept. The person had no interest in that though, and made their way into the next room adjoining this one. They grabbed a torch and held it up to the large wall. The light reflected off their face showing it belonged to Hotaru.

Yep, she had snuck out to come and read the inscriptions. It wasn't like she wasn't allowed to. She wasn't going to steal anything, she just wanted to read the stories on the walls about the Pharaoh. She also wondered if she and Tenshi were mentioned in here. Though she doubted it, she couldn't help but look.

"There's so many." she said as she looked at it all. "It is possible that the town we came from is mentioned."

A thought then made her cringe. What if Isis found her in here? She would be in so much trouble. Oh well. Isis told her she could read these later, and it was later. Therefore she was in no wrong. Still you never could tell with Isis.

"I'll just stay for a little while then." she told herself as she scanned over it all. "Lets see, where should I begin?"

A gleam from the torch light caught her eye and she turned around. There in the center of the room was a stand with a priceless red stone in the middle. It was called Painite and had been given to the late Pharaoh as a gift. Curiosity got the better of her so she went over to examine it. An inscription was placed on it's stand.

She began to red what it said. It just explained where it came from and who had given it to the Pharaoh. It was a gift for peace between Egypt and Lydia. Carefully she picked it up to look at it more closely. It was about the size of a chicken egg and weighed as much as a saddle did.

"Heavy little thing aren't you." she whispered. A wind blew into her face, ruffling her hair. Something told her she needed to hide, so she did so quickly. Something wasn't right and it sent shivers up her spine. It was then that her torch blew out, leaving her in complete darkness.

Three men sat on the hill overlooking the tomb. The one in the middle smirked. His wild white hair blew lazily from the soft wind of the night. It was to dark to see his eye color but they must have been a red-brown color of some sort. The great horse under him fidgeted, and he patted it's neck.

"Why are we robbing this tomb? The tomb keepers are back and so are a few guards since two priestesses are with them." Asked the man to his left. He had brown hair that stuck out in almost every direction. His chocolate brown eyes looked down at the place.

"Because Jabari, since the two priestesses are there all the traps have been turned off. All we have to do is make sure we don't wake anyone up." he explained.

The guy to his right smirked. "It's amazing there are still tombs for you to rob Bakura." a smirk grew on the King of Thieves face as well.

"I know. Now lets go." he kicked his horse into a soft trot and the three rode down the hill.

When they reached the tomb door they dismounted and went in. Jabari grabbed a torch and followed his leader through the many halls. Soon they came upon the room filled with all the Pharaoh's belongings. Though the gold was tempting, the person just walked past it till they reached the center of the room. However what they were looking for was not there.

"What?" Bakura gasp when he walked up to the stand that once held the Painite. "Why isn't it here?"

A squishing sound made all three turn and see a short haired girl trying to get away. She had stepped on a piece of rotten bread on her way to the exit. Instantly Bakura forced her up against the wall and held a dagger to her throat. She gulped and looked up at him fearfully. From her clothes he guessed she was one of the priestesses.

"Alright priestess, you have ten seconds to tell us were the Painite is." he hissed.

"What are you talking about? What's a Painite?" she asked, trying to buy herself time to come up with an escape plan.

He growled at her. "Don't play dumb with me priestess. You know where it's at. Now tell me."

Her fearful look was quickly replaced with a glare. "And if I don't? Then you'll what? Kill me? That's fairly smart, cause then you won't find it." he was a little surprised by her change in attitude, but quickly recovered.

"Mouthy little thing. Lets see how well you talk when I begin to cut off your fingers one by one." he said with a smirk.

She still only glared at him. Suddenly the sound of footsteps reached their ears and Bakura quickly rushed them to hide in the shadows. His men also did the same. The guards must have heard them. The thief covered Hotaru's mouth to make sure she wouldn't scream. She struggled to get loose which was causing some noise.

"Stop that or I'll kill you." he threatened.

She didn't stop, she had to let the guards know that these thieves were here. That's when she saw it. The double T scar on the right side of the mans face. Marik had told her about that scar. It belonged to the Thief King Bakura. This man was him? The Thief King really existed?

Bakura, seeing as how she had stopped resisting, took his hand away from her mouth. She just stared up at him in shock. "Y-you're...Bakura?" she asked. He raised an eyebrow then nodded. Big mistake, for then she was about to scream for help. So the man did the only thing that he knew would shut her up. Hotaru's eyes widened and a shiver went up her spine when Bakura's lips suddenly crashed into hers.
