88 Last Time 88
"Girl, get some rest. The men will be back tonight, and might take you this time. You'll need your strength." said the woman with the bite marks. Hotaru nodded and curled up next to Isis. Tears fell down her face. This was really happening, her worst nightmare was coming true. The fear kept her up a bit, but soon the girl had cried herself to sleep.
88 This Time 88
Bakura sighed as he rode through the desert. He was supposed to have robbed the tomb yesterday, but had been to tired to do much of anything. Especially after going into town and seeing Hotaru again. That girl was different then any other he had come across. For one she wasn't afraid of him. In fact she even talked back to him. Then again he kind of deserved it.
Then she had helped him and his men escape from the tombkeepers and guards. Why on Earth would anyone do that? The only reason someone would is if their life was being threatened. She had helped them just out of the blue though, even after he kissed her. A grin appeared on his face when he remembered her shocked one.
The girl must have never been kissed before. If she had, she wouldn't have blushed, just try to slap him or scream. She had gone as red as his coat though. Jabari still got a kick out of her blushes too. That was probably the reason the King of Thieves teased her so much. Her reaction to things like that was hilarious.
Suddenly smoke from the direction of the town caught his eye. What was going on there? Had a fire started? Quickly he turned his horse and kicked it into a gallop. The town soon appeared over the hill and Bakura quickly pulled the reigns to stop his horse. The town was completely burnt to the ground.
A few bodies lay outside of the town. This had obviously been a massacre. With a growl he rode down to it and dismounted. Everything was burned. You couldn't tell what used to be a body or just a hunk of wood. It had to have happened late last night. That's when he remember Hotaru.
The thief made his way to the temple as quickly as he could, but it was just the same as the town. "Who would do this?" he asked himself. He tried looking for anyone that would be alive, but found no one. Maybe she had escaped before the fire. If not her, then someone would have. The pharaoh would hear of it soon, and send out his soldiers to find whoever did this.
"I guess I'll just have to wait and hear any news." he said then mounted his horse. Looks like again he would not be robbing the tomb today. He was no longer in a good mood for such a thing.

"Hotaru!" Tenshi cried as he awoke from his dream. Sweat ran down his face and chest. He gasped for air and stared wide eyed at his sheets. Something bad had happened to his twin sister. In his dream he heard her crying. Her tears were filled with pain and fear.
The violet eyed boy rubbed his head, as he began to relax more. Sighing he threw the sheets off and got up. He needed to get to his sister as soon as possible. After they found that stupid troop, then he would ask Atem's permission to go to the town of Niap. Till then, he could only pray that she was safe and unharmed.
A knock came to his door. "Sir are you ready to leave?" asked one of his soldiers.
"I'll be down in a 5mins." he said, and he heard the man walk away from his door. With another sigh he began to put on his clothes and armor. With one last look at the mirror he left his room and went to the last door down the hall. With a soft know to indicate he was there he opened the door and stepped in. The sweet smell of roses surrounded him and he drank the scent in. Looking around he found a green haired woman sitting in a chair facing away from him.
"Setsuna. It's me." he said as he walked over, kneeled down, and placed a hand on the womans hand. The crimson eyed girl turned to him, but there was something wrong with them. Her eyes looked worried, and sad. She did not rise though to greet him. In truth, she couldn't. About a year ago she lost the ability to move her legs.
Setsuna smiled and pointed to a chair that always sat across from hers. Tenshi took it and relaxed for a bit. The green haired girl's room was always so soothing and made him want to go to sleep. However Setsuna wanted to talk. Not let the boy sleep in her room. Obviously something was troubling him.
"So what's on your mind Tenshi? You seem troubled." she asked petting her black panther, Charon. Tenshi peeked with one eye at her. How did she always know what was wrong with him.
Sighing he sat up a little more.
"I had a dream. In it I heard Hotaru crying out in sadness and fear. I even began to feel her pain. I was horrible. Like I was being smothered by it. I want to go see her, but I have my orders to help Atem find that lost troop."
Setsuna's face became a little more serious. "You'll have to look for her afterwards then. I would send Haruka out, but with the wedding coming up and all we need everyone here. I don't think they'll let her go just because of a dream." Tenshi nodded her head.
"Yes, the guards here aren't very superstitious or anything like that. They'll just laugh if they heard this...I was actually wondering if..you could tell me what has happened to her."
Setsuna looked at him sadly. "Tenshi you know I can't do that. It will upset the time line. I can only tell you this. Your sister is still alive, so you needn't worry about death. When you get back, you'll have to find the rest out for yourself."
The violet boy nodded. It appeared he would still have to be kept in the dark. He got up and hugged her before leaving the room. When Tenshi closed the door the woman let out a sad sigh and leaned back on her chair. If only she could tell him of his sister. She so desperately wanted to, but couldn't. It would undo the very fabrics of time he if were to go to her now.
"Hopefully my foresight will bring me good news of her soon." she whispered as she petted Charon's head. The great cat nuzzled into her palm in a means of comfort. She slightly smiled at him. "You think they will Charon? I hope your right. Not only for Hotaru's sake, but for Tenshi's as well."

Bakura slammed the door as he walked into the bar where his men were. They looked up, saw his pissed expression, and quickly backed away from him. It was always best to leave him alone when he was like this. Bakura sat at one of the stools and asked for a jug of water. After traveling anywhere through the desert he never felt like drinking alcohol. It would just dehydrate him further.
Excepting the jug he drained half of it and then set it down. How was he going to explain his anger to the men? He could always just lie to them, but he never liked doing that. They were his friends, and some were even like family to him. Well then that just left the truth.
Maybe he didn't have to tell them all. No just the ones that asked, but then the story would spread. Suddenly a hand rested on his shoulder. He looked up to see his best friend, and second in command, Jabari grinning down at him. Taking the stool next to him he ordered a tankard of beer and then turned back to his friend.
"So oh great leader, how was your little trip?" when Bakura growled he pretended to be in shock. "My word, could the Great and Wonderful Bakura have failed?"
"Hold that vile tongue of your's Jabari, before I cut it out." he snapped. Jabari's smile just grew.
"All right so what happened then?" he asked holding the back of his head with his hands. Bakura mumbled something. "Sorry..couldn't hear that."
"I said I couldn't get the damn jewels. I didn't even get to the tomb." he growled. Jabari sat in shock for a moment. Then burst out laughing.
"Come on Bakura, all this time you were just messing around then? Or were you caught before you even got there?"
Bakura glared at him. "That's not it you fool. The town of Niap had burnt to the ground. Everyone that was living there is now dead!" Jabari looked shocked again, and this time he didn't laugh.
He hushed his voice down to make sure it was only Bakura who heard him. "You're serious aren't you? Well what happened? How did it catch fire?"
Bakura shrugged and finished the rest of his water off, "I don't know. All I know is by the time I reached the place, everything was burned to a crisp. But it had to be the work of people. Even the temple, which is a good 100 feet outside of the city was burned down. And there were bodies outside of it that had sword wounds on them. "
"What? Why would anyone do something like this? The Pharaoh will hear of it in no time, and they'll be caught."
"I think that's what whoever did this wants. They want to be known."
Jabari nodded, then remembered something. "Wait. What about that priestess? Did you find her?" Bakura shook his head.
"No...the temple was just a pile of burnt up wood and stone. There was no way to dig through it without something collapsing." he said sadly, and got off the stool.
Jabari watched him walk out of the crowded room. The thief was obviously not going to be in a good mood for a long time. What worried him though was that priestess. Bakura had seemed to like her, and now there was no way of telling if she was even dead. As sad and painful as it may be, she probably was.
