88 Last Time 88
"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.
88 This Time 88
The commander of a small patch of troops laughed. Taking another swig of his beer, he coughed some ,then tossed the flask to a soldier standing next to him. The news this little sorceress carried amused him. Wiping the remainder of his drink off his beard, he sat up more straight, and stared at her. She did not meet his gaze, nor did she fidget from his stare. She would not show him any of her emotions. He didn't deserve to see any side of her.
Her long raven hair flew slightly behind her as she stared into the small fire within the campground. For nearly six months now she had been with these men. They were part of the Pharaoh's army. Though she doubted the Pharaoh knew much about their "tactics". These men acted worse than thieves. Hell she wouldn't be surprised if thieves also had more manners than them.
"Come now woman. We are some of the Pharaohs most trusted troops. He will not be coming to kill us." she glared at him.
"You think to highly of yourself. He will stop you and your men from harming anyone else. And my name isn't woman. It's Rei."
The soldiers laughed. "If the Pharaoh really didn't trust us then why did he make us one of his top troops?"said one.
"I think the girl is lying boss." said another.
Rei threw her glare at all of them. "If you don't want to believe me that's fine. All I saw was the Pharaoh's men in the camp and killing all of you pigs!"
The commander grunted. "Whatever witch! Just get out of my sight before I become angry." a soldier came and roughly pulled Rei to her feet before dragging her off to her tent.
He threw her in there then presumed guarding it. Grumbling she got up and dusted off her red dress. If only he didn't have that other shaman, then she could torch the whole place. But no that stupid Shaman had to bind most of her powers within her. Now all she could do was have visions. What good is that to her?
Well it did some good. A smirk came to her face as she remembered seeing the pharaoh's other piece of his army come and kill that bastard commander and his men. She didn't see herself in it however. Was she dead? It didn't really matter, all that mattered was that these men paid for what they did.
"Hopefully I get to live long enough to see them die though." she whispered to herself before laying down on her cot. It was real late and that vision had tired her out. Normally she would just wait for one, but the commander was forcing her to have them. Her body and mind weren't used to that.
"Oh well...soon he'll get his...then maybe I can go back to my village." she said as she began to nod off. Finally sleep over took her.

The next day Atem, Anzu, and Tenshi left. So once again Hotaru was bored out of her mind. She should feel lucky though. First she got to see Marik and Rishid, then the next day Atem, and Tenshi. That was more visits than she got in a month. With a heavy sigh she went back to sweeping around the alter. Soon Isis came into the room with a little piece of paper in her hand.
"Hotaru there you are. I need you to do some shopping for me." she said handing the paper and a bag of coins over to the girl.
Hotaru looked at the items then back up at the woman. "Why me?"
"A midwife needs my help with a woman who's in labor. I must hurry to them now. Can I count on you?" she asked as she ran back towards the door.
Hotaru called out a yes and soon the woman was gone. Looking down at the paper she found it was a list. There wasn't much on it, so she wouldn't be out to long. Then again that was a bad thing for her. Setting down the broom she went to change out of her work clothes, fetched a basket then went into town.
The streets were crowded as usual. People called out for others to buy their products, while others just walked around casually. It didn't take long for the violet eyed girl to find the first item on her list. Darn this was going to take no time at all. She wanted to stay out of that temple longer then just twenty minutes.
Well at least she does get to be out. And maybe she can stay out a little after her shopping. Delivering a baby wasn't always fast, so Isis probably wouldn't be back for a half hour anyways. She smiled to herself then went on with looking at the stands for anything else on the list. Like she thought, the shopping didn't take long.
"Lets see." she said to herself. "I still need some wine and four candles. Easy enough."
With that she found a stand and purchased the two items. Now she had time to herself. Though she wasn't counting on one thing to happen. While passing by an alley someone grabbed her from behind and pulled her into the shadows. Once they were behind a building the person threw her against the wall. Opening her eyes she found she was surrounded by four men.
"Hello their cutie. What are you doing out all alone?" one asked, his eyes traveling up and down her body.
Hotaru glared at him. "I'm just doing some shopping. Now leave me alone or I'll be sure to tell the Pharaoh about this." she threatened. The men just laughed. One stepped up beside her and ran his fingers through her hair.
"And what if you're not alive to do such a thing?" he whispered in her ear, before licking it.
Without even thinking she slapped him. There was a pause for a moment, then the guy turned to look at her with an expression of pure anger. He grabbed a handful of her hair, causing her to cry out in the sudden pain. Another came over with a knife and grabbed the top part of her dress. With a smirk he put the knife up to it.
"This won't take long dear." he said, and was about to cut her dress open.
Before he could a red blur suddenly grabbed his wrist and twisted his arm till it snapped. The man who had her hair released her and charged at the blur. It just punched him in the stomach then threw him at his friends. The men grunted and shoved their comrade off. Both brought out knifes and charged, but their attacker didn't move from its spot. Instead it waited until they were just close enough then jumped up and kicked one in the head before jumping down on the other.
All but the first two men were knocked out. The figure walked over to them and kneeled to their level. "I'm going to make this very clear for you. This woman is mine. Touch her again, and I'll skin you all alive."
They nodded fearfully then grabbed their comrades and rushed out of the alley. That's when the figure got up, and turned to face Hotaru. "Hello priestess."
The violet eyed girl gasped. "Bakura? What are you doing here?"
"Saving your ass it seems. Don't you know how to stay out of trouble?" he asked with a smirk.
She glared at him. "I didn't mean for this to happen. They were the ones who grabbed me off the street...Wait what did you mean I'm yours? I belong to no one!" he stepped towards her, and she stepped back into the wall.
"Oh and I thought after saving your hide you would've change your mind." he said, he was now an inch away from her.
"Bakura don't you dare try anything on me or else." she threatened.
His smirk just grew. "Or else you'll what? Scream? We know how well that worked out the last time you tried to." a blush crept onto the violet eyed girl's face. This guy had no shame.
"I'm not yours! This should be considered as you paying me back for helping you the other night."
"Aw yes, the other night. Wasn't that wonderful darling?" he said with a wink.
Hotaru was now beat red. "You pervert!" she cried and tried to slap him but he caught her wrist.
"My don't we have a temper? Alright I'll stop embarrassing you." with that he released her and stepped away.
The young girl let out a breathe she didn't even know she was holding. This guy was such a lech! How dare he say such things to her. It almost made her want to gag. Something was waved in front of her then. Looking up she saw it was her basket of groceries. Bakura had picked it all up and was now giving it back to her. She excepted it and nodded a thanks.
"You really should be more careful. Not everyone is as generous as me." he then turned around to leave.
"Wait!" she called out, the thief stopped and glanced back at her. "Thank you..for saving me."
The smirk appeared back on his face. "As you said before, I was only repaying my dept to you. See you around priestess." he turned back around and waved before disappearing when he turned the corner. Hotaru waited a little while longer before quickly getting back onto the market street and heading home.
