Chapter 5
Bakura's POV
For the next few hours we spent the time being outside. Maria made me stand straight and walk straight. It was sorta weird, but Anzu was watching and she kept eyeing me. Like she was going to do something bad. And it involved me.
"Alright Bakura I think that's enough for one day and its time for lunch." Maria said.
"Then why don't you go and get us some lunch…please. It's nice out here." I said.
"Only cause you said please." She said patting my cheek. "I'll have the sevants cook it and bring it out. What do you want?"
"Anything is fine." I said to her.
"K." She said walking away.
'Nice ass.' I thought watching her.
"Do you really believe that she can change you?" Anzu said walking up to me.
"Yes I can cause she is doing just that." I said.
"Humpt! Why do you a thief get such a royal treatment? Your nothing more than a criminal who belongs in the dungeons." Anzu said fiercely at me.
'Why are you such a bitch?' I thought. I didn't answer her. I saw something flash in her eyes as she smirked.
"Answer me when I speak to you! You worthless thief!" Anzu said slapping me.
"Shit! She can slap!' I thought feeling my cheek go numb for a second. I could taste blood in my mouth and I cold feel the warmth going down my chin. I looked back at Anzu and still said nothing. She raised her hand again and started it forwards. I closed my eyes and waited for the connection and pain. But when I felt nothing I opened one eye to see Maria had her hand. And she looked pissed. 'Oh this will really piss off Anzu if I called Maria Madam now wouldn't it?'
"Madam Maria." I said. 'Oh that worked like a charm.' I thought as I watched the hate burn in Anzu's eyes.
"Anzu! You have no right to even touch Bakura!" Maria said.
'Oh perfect timing.' I thought as I say Atem, Yami, Seth, Yugi, Heba and Jou watch from the balcony of the palace halls.
"Oh yeah? He's just a lowly thief! He is beneath me. So I have every right to touch him!" Anzu shot back freeing her hand from Maria's grip.
I wanted to slap her as hard as I could but instead I just clenched my hands together and watch them argue.
"No you do not! He is in my care! Father gave me permission to have him here, so he is under protection of the royal crown!" Maria shot back. Anzu stepped back a little. "So by order of the crown he his not beneath you he is a higher ranking member of the royal court. Now get out of my sight! You bother me."
I stood shocked at what I just heard. 'I'm a part of the royal court? All by default that the pharaoh gave Maria permission for me to stay here? Then does that give me just as much as Maria or her brothers?' I thought. 'Don't let that get to you. You'll get in trouble that way. Just do as told by Maria…BY FUCKING RA! SHE'S GOTTEN TO ME! Yet For some reason I like it!'
By now there was crowd watching. And Yami, Atem and Seth had found their way down to the gardens.
"What's going on here?" Seth demanded.
Anzu had noticed Atem and had walked right up to him.
"The thief wouldn't answer me! Maria isn't teaching him right. He needs to be punished." Anzu whined at him like she did nothing wrong.
"He didn't have to. You didn't ask him anything. You just stated something and expected a response. Right Bakura? Maria said looking at me.
:"Yes madam." I said. Oh did Anzu get mad at that.
"You had no right either to slap him. Maria is right. The crown, though a thief, protects Bakura. And he is tring to change his ways. Right?" Yami said.
"Of course Prince Yami." I said nodding to him. Anzu turned so red. I thought she might explode.
"Anzu you'd better get out of here right now. Before I decide to tell the Pharaoh about this." Seth said.
Anzu got real mad but didn't say anything. She just walked away. So did the crowd. They didn't want to be punished for just being around her.
"Are you alright Bakura?" Maria asked me looking at my cheek.
"I'm fine. Just a little blood." I said.
"A little? You need to get that fixed. It's like a water fall." Atem said.
"But Isis is busy with meetings right now." Seth said knowing where she was.
"Maria can fix it. Small wounds are nothing to her." Yami said.
"Yeah but this is inside his mouth. How is she gunna heal that?" Seth asked.
"Like this." She said. Then she grabbed my coat and pulled me into a kiss. This shocked me. But not as much when I felt that her tounge was in my mouth. She was rubbing it against my wound. It stung for a moment. Then the pain vanished. Then we broke. I rubbed my tounge where the wound should have been but it was gone.
"The hell?" I asked.
"Healing people is easy." She said. "Oh look. Lunch is here. Hope your still hungry."
"Yeah I am." I said taking the tray of food.
"Did you two just see that or am I going crazy?" Seth asked.
"No Seth your not crazy cause we saw that." Yami said.
Anzu's Guest Room
'Maybe I can get him to abuse where he is right now. Protected by the crown yes. But only in the palace walls. If Maria were to be kidnapped I'm sure he'd follow. Then I can make my move Heba when Atems not around. Or better. I can have them both kidnapped.' Anzu thought evilly. "Now who to hire for the job. Oh he'll do fine.'
