Destiny
No.04 –Bakura
His shining emerald eyes reflected his mischievous soul. He also had a scar that went vertical on his left eye lid but no matter, the scar did not bring down his handsome face. His bleached out white hair, which was straight but managed to look messy at the same time, blew in the wind.
Anzu had seen many pretty boys before but with this healthy looking caramel coloured boy, who held her close in his arms, her heart slowly begun to pound fast. She wanted to say something but couldn't figure out the words so she kept the silence. And after sheepishly giggling a little, the boy looked down at her and grinned. He cleared his troat and spoke in his husky voice.
"Khmph. I think the little war is ending, we better get going."
We?
"…Wait, you have to put me down."
There was no response, he totally ignored her and quickened his wide steps towards a fine-looking horse. Anzu had another bad feeling where this was going…
Is this some sort of Kidnapping Show?!
Well, Anzu was never a timid and quiet type of person, so she kicked her legs and pushed his chest.
"Let me down!"
"Ow, ow." He wiggled his eyebrows but his did not loosen his grasp. His hands tightened as Anzu continuously pounded his chest.
Then a man walked by them,
"Bakura-san we have retrieved all our goods, should we leave sir?"
"Yeah," he carelessly answered, "Just help me getting her on my horse."
"Yes, sir"
"Where are you taking me! Urg, don't touch me!"
Forcing her against her will, Anzu was now on the horse and that handsome but now getting-on-Anzu's-nerve albino sat right behind her. Anzu readied herself to jump off from the horse but Bakura wrapped his left arm around Anzu's wrist.
He softly whispered, "Remember, I rescued you for myself."
Urg, what does he want from me now.
She really wanted and was ready to jump and run away from this whole mess, but seeing all these dead corpus lying down and the night so dark, she was once again trapped in the unfortunate situation.
"What do you want from me..?" Trembling, Anzu asked
And he answered her with the most simple reply, "Entertainment."
With that said, he whipped the horse and it begun to run the desert prairies.
After few minutes of the horse ride, Anzu started to shiver, the wind was too harsh for her frail indoor-style body. Although she really did not want to, she inched closer to Bakura. Then he suddenly stopped the horse. All the thieves who followed him on their horses and wagons, which were filled with golds and treasures of that scary Mukantagara's, immediately stopped.
The man at their right yelled out, "What is the problem?"
"..Nothing."
Bakura yelled in response and took off his croak. Anzu looked at him weirdly then, felt the feeling of warmth swimming in her icy body. He grinned at her wickedly and quietly whispered in her ear as he fixed his position on her wrist again,
"My jewel shouldn't catch cold."
My…… jewel…..? …yek
Anzu glared at him but at the same time she could not help blushing a little. She has never heard any male other than her dear father saying those cheesy lines to her. She was always with girls due to her parents' somewhat overprotective parenting. Although she did meet some during noble family reunion parties that held annually, the boys were all her friends, like Joey… Anyhow she had to keep reminding herself that he is a mere head thief and he was no prince-charming to rescue.
The horse started to run again, now faster than before, and after few minutes of silence but sandy wind dashing between her hairs, she saw a fairly small but homely looking old buildings in the middle of desert like an oasis.
As the thief tribe went closer the mini town's torches were lighted and when they were through the main entrance, the shouting of villagers chorused.
"Ooh, Waaaa!! Bakura-sama has finally come back!!"
Their cries echoed in Anzu's ears and Bakura wavered his hands proudly,
He's like…..a king…
The tribe marched and stopped where it seemed to be an assembly ground.
He announced with his loud husky voice, "I have come back!"
The roaring crowd became even louder. Anzu lowered her head, afraid to be noticed and harassed by the thief bunch. Whether he knew that or not, Bakura then skillfully hopped off and helped Anzu glide down from the horse's back.
Then, she heard someone yell out,
"Who is that with Bakura-sama?"
Anzu buried her head even deeper, if she gets the spotlight, her chance of running away from this small town was going to drop for sure. But Bakura, snickered loudly and grabbed Anzu's chin and raised her head for everyone to see her pretty little face.
"This?….This is my new woman!"
Then he ducked his head and put his lips behind her ear to whisper,
"Hey- what's your name?"
Anzu bite her lips and pushed his face away from her ear. She glared at him.
This is getting ridiculous! Urg, he's such a creep.
Bakura seemed kind of surprised by her reaction. And so was the crowd, as Bakura's followers they started to busy themselves by raising their voices,
"That stupid bitch!"
"How dare she!!"
"Bakura-sama, are you okay?"
He rubbed the part where she pushed and awkwardly laughed. And he replied to the people, "The woman is a bit cranky, kukuku, just the way I like." He smirked and the crowd, regardless of how small his voice was compared to their loud complains, died out as if they understood his quiet words.
Then, he took Anzu by her wrist and casually pulled her away from the crowd.
Anzu kept tugging backward, afraid that the creep was going to do something to her, but his muscular arms gave no budge. So Anzu had to wail.
"Let me go, Let me go, Let me go, Let me GO!"
"…"
"Urg, I said, LET ME GO!!"
"………what's your name."
"Let me g………eh?"
"…"
".um...why…khmph. Why should I tell you?" Anzu snorted
"..because I ……"
Anzu waited,
Is he….blushing? Well, its too dark to see clearly….I must be pulling a trick on me.
"I .. . I mean, you know my name and I don't know yours."
"I…I don't know your name," Anzu lied
"Whatever. If you are lucky, you may get to stay here for a long time. Kukuku" He flashed his emerald green eyes and looked down at her like she was a tasty prey.
Anzu opened her mouth to detest, but he turned his head and looked at something so very dearly. Curious, Anzu closed her mouth and turned her view as well.
