"Alright, I want to learn." she said and smiled. However her stomach growled an she blushed again. Makoto just laughed.
"Well, you can't do anything on an empty stomach. Come on, I'll show you to the mess hall." the violet eyed girl nodded and followed her out of the room.
88 This Time 88
Makoto smiled at how quickly the girl learned. At the moment Zaru, another female thief, was teaching the girl a few tricks to get out of someone's grasp. They were using Jabari as their... 'test subject'. Makoto laughed when Jabari winced in pain do to Hotaru roughly pinching the webbing between his finger and thumb. Instantly he let go of her and that would be her escape.
Someone came up beside the brunette and she smirked at who it was. "Here to watch your girlfriend kick your best friends butt?" she asked playfully. Her smirk only grew wider when she felt Bakura glaring at her.
"She's not my girlfriend."
"Right, you were mopping around here when she was taken by those traders, then you go and risk you life rescuing her, and now you're watching her like a hawk. All this for someone you have no romantic feelings for." she said, ticking off all the things on her fingers.
Bakura still wouldn't give up. "I see her as a little sister." that earned him a glare.
"I thought I was your little sister! Besides you don't go around flirting and Kissing little sisters the way you do." yep, Hotaru had told her how she had first met the Thief King. At first it just sounded to Makoto like Bakura was only playing with her. But what with the mopping and the rescue, she doubted that now.
Both watched as the violet eyed girl managed to twist Jabari's arm around to his back, sweep his feet out from under him, and keep him pinned to the ground. Zaru cheered for her then showed her what she could have done better or could have added. Hotaru listened intently and never took any criticism the wrong way. She knew she was just a beginner and anything she was missing could be fatal to her in a real life situation. Makoto glanced over and saw Bakura was smiling.
"Ah-ha!" the emerald eyed girl cried and pointed to him, "you do like her! I've never seen you smile like that at a person. Only when your drunk, which I can tell your not since your still standing."
Bakura glared at her, "I was not smiling!"
"Deny it all you want 'Oh Great King of Thieves', but I caught you in the act. And I have plenty of evidence to prove you like her." Bakura grumbled. Why was he even trying? There was no way in the seven hells that he could win against Makoto. The girl always had the upper hand, and never tired of arguing, unlike him. She was spoiled by the women thieves growing up, after her parents died. Through them she found ways of Always getting what she wanted. "Come on Bakura, just admit it and I'll leave you alone."
He looked over to see her smiling innocently. No doubt after he told her, she would go off and tell Hotaru. Makoto was the type of person to do that. She saw the doubt in his expression and traced an X over her heart. "Cross my heart, I won't tell Hotaru. I give you my word."
"Not much of a word if it's coming from a thief but fine." he then muttered, "I like Hotaru. . ."
"What? Sorry I couldn't hear that."
"I Like Hotaru." he snapped. Makoto just smiled and hugged him.
"Aw! I knew it!" Bakura somehow managed to pry her arms off him before he ran out of air. The girl just giggled and looked back over at the violet eyed girl. They both saw her successfully flip a charging Jabari over her shoulder. Zaru whooped and hugged the girl. She had done that one perfectly. She then pulled Hotaru over to the two.
"Did you guys see that? Makoto this girl is going to be as good as you soon." Zaru said hugging Hotaru around the shoulders.
Makoto just smiled at her. "I wouldn't doubt that. But, will she be as good as Bakura?" all three girls looked over at him. Bakura just rolled his eyes as if to say, 'yeah right.'
Zaru grinned and whispered something into the violet eyed girls ear. Hotaru tried to refrain from giggling. "Alright, Bakura you want to see first hand how well our Hotaru has learned don't you?" Zaru said, obviously issuing a challenge.
"I am not going to fight her."
"Who said anything about fighting?" Makoto asked. "We just want to see how well she fairs against someone as strong and tricky as you." he glared at her.
"I said no."
"You scared?" that one came from Hotaru. He turned around and set his narrowed eyes on her now.
"What?"
"You're scared, it's ok. I can understand that you don't want to end up like Jabari." everyone looked to see the guy limping back inside. He was sporting bruises and scraps everywhere.
Bakura snorted. "Please, like you could do that to me."
"Only one way to find out." Zaru said.
Finally Bakura gave in. The two stood in front of each other and waited for Makoto to give the signal to begin. When she did the thief immediately grabbed her wrist, and spun her around until she was locked against him. The girl struggled to get her hands free. The man grinned, he knew she couldn't perform any of her little tricks without the use of her hands.
That however was his first mistake. Instantly he felt he sink her teeth into his arm. He yelped and released her. Looking at his arm he found she had broken the skin causing him to bleed a little. Now he was mad. He charged at her and managed to evade her kick. He then got up behind her and locked both of her arms behind her back before wrestling her to the ground. Makoto, after she counted to 10 declared the match over. Bakura released her and got up.
"Told ya you wouldn't win." he said with a smirk. He began to walk away, but Hotaru managed to stick her leg out in time. Not seeing it he tripped and fell to the ground. The girls began to laugh as the two got up. Bakura threw a glare at the girl who just smiled sweetly at him.
"Sorry Bakura, I couldn't resist." she said innocently. He was sure now that she had been hanging out with the girls for too long. Then again she had been like this since he first met her. Were all females this annoying or just the ones he knew?
The group turned to see a bandaged Jabari and another thief come over with three horses. "You ready to go Bakura?" Jabari asked. The man nodded and mounted his horse.
"Where you going?" Makoto asked.
"To rob a tomb what else? Besides I have to leave a little note to the pharaoh. I promised those girls Hotaru had been with that I would inform Atem of what happened to them and Niap." Hotaru looked at him wide-eyed. He was actually going to do that for them? Then Isis and the others might be saved from their new owners, and those traders put behind bars. Bakura saw her expression, smiled and winked at her before he and the others rode off.

Tenshi took another swing of water before handing his canteen over to Corman. The two were totally lost. They couldn't find Olbaid anywhere. Now they couldn't even find their way back to the palace. The violet eyed teen wondered if they had accidently left Egypt. With a grunt he turned his horse around.
"Lets retrace our steps. I doubt that stupid town is out this far." Corman nodded and followed his commander. Tenshi was silently fuming at the moment. Was he never going to find his sister? She had always been trouble, but never this much. Maybe if he went back to the palace Rei or Setsuna can give him more hints as to where she was located. The problem was, actually getting back there.
"My Lord!" he heard Corman cry as he unsheathed his sword. Tenshi looked back to see a group of raiders riding over the sand dune towards them. They had their weapons drawn and were going top speed.
"Run!" Tenshi shouted and the two kicked their horses into a gallop.
"It's no good, they're gaining fast!"Corman said.
Tenshi grumbled. How were they going to get out of this one alive? Taking his bow he quickly strung it and placed the pack of arrows on his back. Slowly he turned around on his saddle till he was facing backwards. Without wasting time he put an arrow to it and let it fly. It killed one of the men closest to them. He kept this up till he was out of arrows. By then the enemy was practically right along side them.
"Corman we have no choice. Will you fight with me?" Tenshi asked turning back to the front. Corman only nodded and brought up his sword.
"You know I will."
Tenshi grinned and nodded. The two then stopped their horses and waited for the few that were left to com with in rang. In no time the sound of metal hitting metal clashed. Tenshi fought hard to keep three men from killing, or dismounting him. Corman had a few to take care of as well. Everything seemed to be going well for the two, until the older soldier was thrown off his horse. One of the men had played a dirty trick and threw a fake snake at it, spooking the poor beast.
Corman fell hard to the ground, but was instantly back up on his feet. Tenshi saw he was at a disadvantage now. He tried to make his way over, but the raiders would only block his path. Getting even more pissed he kicked one guy off his horse then plowed through. The violet eyed boy drove his horse over to Corman who was surrounded. He was about to grab his friend when an arrow dug it's way into his shoulder.
"Lord Tenshi!" the soldier yelled as the teen fell from his horse.
However he didn't get to reach him as one of the raiders came up from behind and lopped off his head. Tenshi, who had pulled the arrow out, watched helplessly from were he lay. "CORMAN!" he shouted as tears came to his eyes.
He stood up but one of the horses reared and kicked him down the sand dune. Tenshi went tumbling through the hot sand. He winced as the grains were pushed into his cut. All the strength he had was draining, he couldn't even stop himself. Instead he let himself keep going till the dune ended. By then however he was nearly unconscious. Without moving he glanced over to where the raiders were. He saw them laugh, grab all his and Corman's valuables and ride off. It was then that the darkness claimed him.
Tenshi- Crap! i got the shit beat out of me! Ah! why do these things keep happening to me? well that's all for today, hopefully Spirit will be back soon. it's no fun when she's not here to torture! Please Review. Ja ne
