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.
88 This Time 88
The sun was setting on the desert sands. A cool night breeze blew into Tenshi's hair. A smile spread on his face as he watched the stars begin to appear in the sky. He was sitting on the roof of the palace. Inside you could hear the others chatting away and eating. As well as a few guards outside talking amongst themselves. It was just another night for them.
It had been forever since he last had time to himself. The Pharaoh had been moving around a lot lately. And as his main guard, it was his duty to stick close to him. Finally they were back at the palace and able to rest for awhile. Though in a way he wished he wasn't here. This was because Anzu was here mostly. Soon the sound of footsteps echoed over the roof top.
Turning he saw a grinning Haruka approach him. She was a long time friend of his who was a servant at the palace. Though mostly she was just his training partner. Most men found this amusing, and thought Tenshi to be weak. In truth she was the only one that Could provide a challenge for him. Others had went up against her, and failed miserably.
"The breeze is nice huh? It's happy with us." she said standing next to him. Tenshi nodded.
Haruka always had a special connection with the wind. It told her things in its own way, and she listened. The same with the others and other elements. Michiru, one of the palaces musicians, could tell when water was around. And Setsuna, a seamstress in the palace, always knew what was going to happen, though never told anyone. He had a special connection too, though it was one he didn't want to admit. Hotaru most likely had it, but she had never been around...when someone had died.
"So, trying to hide from the Pharaoh are we?" Haruka asked sitting down next to the violet eyed boy.
Tenshi shook his head. "Not really. I just wanted to watch the sunset...and get away from everybody. I can't stand still that long in that damned throne room! I'll go even more crazy then I already am...if that's possible."
Haruka laughed at this. It was hard for Tenshi to do a lot of things, and she doubted there was more insanity left for him to gain. "So how is your sister doing?"
"Fine...I think...Was she fine?" he asked himself, trying to remember the state she was in when he saw her. Haruka had a sweat-drop behind her head. "I remember... red."
She blinked. "Red?"
"Yep! She was red!" he said happily.
"Ok...did she get a sunburn?"
"No."
... "so then she was angry?"
"No."
"Was she blushing about something?"
"...I don't think so." Haruka sighed. She probably already had said the right answer...he just didn't remember.
With a sigh, she stood up and headed back for the trap door they came from.
"Anyways, I came to tell you Atem wishes to see you. I think it has something to do with one of his troops they had been out of contact with for awhile." with that she disappeared and closed the door.
Tenshi frowned. What had happened to the troop? Were they killed off by something? Maybe they just forgot to check in. No, not even he did that. Something didn't feel right here. Standing up he dusted off his pants and got off the roof. He would just have to see what was up with the Pharaoh.

The Thief King pushed open the swinging doors of a run down inn. Its musty smell welcomed him. He was used to it by now. The place had been abandoned long ago when a drought came to the area. However now it served as a home for him and his band of thieves.
The room was crowded with mostly men, but a few female thieves sat in the corner together. Most were just wives of other thieves. The men smiled at him and a man with curly red hair offered him a seat. Nodding a thanks he sat it in and relaxed his body. A group of them all crowded around him in there own chairs. They were waiting to hear what happened in the town.
Finally the Jabari broke the silence. "So Bakura how did it go? You usually don't take that long to go into town for any news. Did the guards see you or something?"
The man just shook his head. "No...but I saw someone." most of the men looked confused while the others just waited. Bakura turned to Jabari and the other man that had accompanied him to the tomb of the last pharaoh. "Do you remember that priestess we meet at Akhenamkhanen's tomb?"
The two smirked and nodded. "I found her being harassed in an alley."
"Well did you help her? Or are your really That sick?" the other man asked.
Bakura threw him a mock glare. "I'm not like you. And yes I did help her. I've gotta say though...that girl is way too amusing."
"Did you toy with her again?" Jabari asked. A devilish smirk formed on the Thief King's face, and the other men laughed. That was an obvious yes.
"So are you going to see her again?" asked one of the men around him.
He just shrugged. It was by accident really that he had saw her today. Instead of sticking to the busy streets where someone might recognize him, he chose to go through the back alleys. That of course was when he saw her being harassed by the four men. With a sigh he grabbed a tankard of water and drained it. Then the thief got up.
"I'm going to go to bed. Wake me if anything happens." he said before leaving. The band of thieves just watched him go then went back to drinking and talking.
Bakura lay in his bed and gazed up at the ceiling. Why did he feel like something bad was soon to happen? He had never felt like this before. Maybe his next steal would go wrong or something. Or maybe he was just being paranoid. Grunting he rolled to his side and tried to sleep, however it did him no good. The feeling wouldn't stop, until whatever happened, happened.

Tenshi walked into the throne room. Inwardly he grimaced at all the serious faces. He hated when things got serious, cause then there was no time for any fun. Finally he reached the steps to the throne and got on one knee. He bowed his head and closed his eyes.
"You summoned me Pharaoh?" he asked. Normally he didn't have to comply to such formalities, but while around others it was required of him. Boy, did he hate them though!
Atem nodded and looked at him with a depressed expression. "Yes, you will accompany me to find the Black Troop that has gone missing. I need you to gather up your men and be ready by morning." Tenshi nodded.
"Pharaoh Atem, you should send a search party. It is not safe for you to go out and look for them." High Priest Shada said.
"No, they are my soldiers, therefore I will help find them."
Tenshi knew a dismissal when he heard it. Silently he got up bowed and turned to go assemble his men. Just as he left the throne room and started to walk down the hall a hand lashed out and grabbed his wrist. Before he could do anything the hand pulled him into a dark room.
"Help Kidnapper!" he cried. The hand released his wrist to cover his mouth.
"Tenshi shh. It's me" said a hushed voice. A candle was then lit and Tenshi could see the person was Anzu.
"Anzu? Why did you grab me?...and why are we in a closet?" he asked looking around the cramped room. The two were almost touching.
Anzu looked at the floor. "The weddings coming up soon. We won't be able to see each other alone anymore..." Tenshi's expression changed to that of sadness.
He tried to put on a small smile for her though. "Don't worry. We can still be friends..."
"That's not what I want though!" she cried as tears came to her eyes. The violet eyed boy sighed and hugged her.
"I know, but it's all we can do. Your father and Atem's had arranged the marriage years ago. And now that Pharaoh Akhenamkhanen is gone, Atem feels even more pressured to follow his fathers wishes." he explained, she just cried onto his shoulder.
Tenshi rested his cheek on the top of her head. "Anzu please don't cry." he whispered. She nodded and pulled away to wipe her eyes. Tenshi slightly smiled. "That's better. You look prettier when you don't have water raining out of your eyes that make them all puffy and red."
Anzu glared at him and punched his shoulder. He pouted and rubbed where she had hit him. "I was only kidding."
She sighed. "Well I guess I better go now. Setsuna's probably looking for me." she said and was about to open the door after blowing out the candle. Tenshi caught her around the waist and held her close to him. Quickly he placed a gently kiss on her lips and smiled. "I don't think I'll get another chance to do that again. So I had to one last time." Anzu smiled and nodded. She hugged him then left the closet. After about three minutes the violet eyed boy also left and went to tell his men the news.
Tenshi- so anzu's having an affair with me?
Spirit- technically it's cheating. they aren't married yet, so it wouldn't be an affair. but yeah basically that's it. well hope you all liked the chapter. Please Review and i'll see you Tuesday! Ja ne
