88 Last Time 88
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.
88 This Time 88
When the sound of the soldiers was gone. Bakura broke away from her and looked around the room to make sure they had completely left. Hotaru was completely red in the face and was gasping for air. Her heart was pounding in her chest and she covered her mouth with her hand. He had kissed her! The King of Thieves had kissed her! She didn't know whether she should be happy she got her first kiss by her favorite bed time story, disgusted, or angry.
"You look a little red." she heard Bakura tease. Her violet eyes glared up at him.
"You...you ...disgusting pig!" she whispered loudly. "Why did you do that?"
He smirked at her. "Cause if I were to cover your mouth with my hand you would still be heard. That was the only sure way to keep you silent."
This was an outrage! That no good thief was going to pay for this. She didn't know how yet, but she wanted to be the one to do it. He only kissed her so he wouldn't get caught. That was low, and just plain rude. Her first kiss had been stolen away by this jerk.
"Bakura the guards aren't gone yet. They know the girl is missing." Jabari said coming over to them.
The other man did to. "They have the main exit sealed off." Bakura cursed under his breathe. This girl was causing him all sorts of problems.
"I can show you another way out." all three's eyes grew wide and they turned to face her. Hotaru fidgeted under there stare. What the hell was she doing now? Damn her mouth! Bakura then grabbed her by her shoulders.
"And why should we trust you?" she only glared at him.
"Cause I'm the only chance of surviving you've got." the sound of the guards was approaching.
After a moments hesitation he nodded. Hotaru got up and walked over to the other wall. Pushing on it a secret door opened. Thanks to Marik she knew where it was. Though she didn't think he would be to happy with her if he found out she used it to help these men escape. Quickly the three men followed her in and closed the door behind them.
She lead them through a few halls then soon opened another door. After checking if the coast was clear, they crept out. They went to another door and went in that as well. It seemed like forever before they finally made it outside. Hotaru left the door propped open with her shoe.
"There you see. I told you I would get you out." she said.
Bakura stepped towards her. "I'm curious as to why though. You are a priestess after all."
"Well you weren't able to steal anything so this is for that. Now get out of here before the guards come." a smirk formed on his face. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out the Painite stone. Hotaru's eyes widened and she checked her own pocket where she had placed the stone before.
Looking back up at him she glared. "You ungrateful dirty thief give that back!" she cried and tried to get it. He just held it out of her reach though.
"You know for a priestess you certainly say some nasty things."
She tried jumping to get the stone but that didn't work either. "So? I helped you escape and this is how you repay me?"
He shrugged. "I'm a thief what can I say?"
"Try a thank you, and give it back!" again she tried to jump but this time he caught her around the waist. Swiftly he gave her another kiss, though this one was more gentle. Hotaru blushed and backed away from him in surprise. He chuckled then mounted his horse and slipped the stone back into his pocket.
"There was my thank you, but I'm afraid I like this stone far too much to just give it to you. However I do hope we meet again priestess." with that he turned his horse around and the three thieves rode off.
Hotaru watched them go, then stomped her foot. How could she let him get away like that? Why did she even let him escape? So what if he was her favorite story topic, he was still a thief. Oh how stupid she felt.
The worse part is, that she was going to have to lie to the others. There was no way she could tell them what she just did. Argh this had to be one of the worsts nights of her life. And the worst part of it was, it was all her fault. Soon a group of guards turned the corner and spotted her. One walked over and checked to see if she was harmed.
"Priestess Hotaru are you alright?" he asked.
"I'm fine, Bakura escaped though. He made me show him another way out. He also took the Painite stone." she half lied.
They nodded and one escorted her back to her room. The others would search for the thief for awhile. The violet eyed girl barely got any sleep though. The guards had told the others what happened. The lie was already spreading. Not much she could do about it right now though. Sure she could always tell the truth, but really what good would come of it?
88888
The next day all but the Tomb keepers left. Hotaru said her good byes to Marik and Rishid before mounting up and riding out. Though the visit had been short it was usually what they got. Marik and the others had to stay within the tomb, and she was to stay at the temple. It sucked, but that was they way it was.
However upon returning to the temple the group got a big surprise. Pharaoh Atem was sitting outside on the steps talking with Tenshi. The two looked up and smiled at the group. Soon they had dismounted, went over, and bowed to Atem. The young pharaoh just rolled his eyes at this.
"How many times do I have to tell you? None of you need to do that when I visit." he said with a smirk. Isis's cheeks turned a little red, she had forgotten. Hotaru did her best to hold in her giggle at the older woman.
Suddenly the violet eyed girl was being crushed. "Sissy! I'm so happy to see you!" Tenshi cried. Hotaru struggled and was soon out of his grasp. Then she proceeded to gasp for the air he had squeezed out of her. Atem laughed at this which earned him a glare from the violet eyed girl.
"So Atem to what do we owe this visit?" Isis asked.
He sighed. "Anzu, she wanted to come here. She's already inside praying, but wishes to speak with you as soon as possible." Isis nodded and the two went in, leaving the twins alone.
Tenshi cat grinned at is sister. "So I hear you had a fateful encounter with the King of Thieves." at this Hotaru blushed.
"How...how did you learn about that so quickly?" she asked. She just hoped her twin didn't know about the two kisses Bakura had given her.
"Some of the tomb guards left during the night and reported it to the palace...Why are you all red?" he asked.
Hotaru quickly covered her face. "No reason! It's just hot out here. Don't you think it's hot?"
"Um...not really...Then again I am more in the shade." she sighed, her brother was a complete idiot. How he became one of Atem's most trusted guards, she would never know. Quickly she decided to change the subject.
"So when are Atem and Anzu due to marry?"
Tenshi tried to recall the date. Which left a long moment of silence. Finally he remembered. "Ah yes! In about a month, maybe less." Hotaru nodded.
It seemed so weird that Atem was getting married. They had known each other for five years now and had been through a lot together. Like when his father died. That day had scared her, for it was the first time she actually saw the boy cry. He always acted tough, and was getting into all sorts of trouble. Especially with Tenshi.
But that day made her realize that he was just like her, a human with fragile emotions. The only problem with the marriage was, it had been arranged. Anzu was a good friend of Atem's, but that's just it, they only wanted to be friends. At least it wasn't someone neither of them could stand. Just that, it was like getting married to someone who was more like a sibling to you.
"Hey I'm hungry! Lets go inside and find something to eat!" Tenshi chimed. Hotaru sighed and nodded. The violet eyed boy jumped for joy, before racing off ahead of her.
"How am I related to him again?" Hotaru asked herself. Shrugging she then followed her twin in.
