A young man with a deep tan and a wave of white hair sprinted across the palace roof. He slowed at the edge and looked downwards to see the guard bumbling around like the fools they were.
Bakura chuckled half-heartily to himself.
"What idiots." He thought, hopping off the roof and running across the stone bridge that supported the roof. Right over the heads of the guards.
"I don't understand why the Pharaoh keeps them, anyway." Bakura thought as he jumped onto a near by house. He started to jump on the roofs of the houses with very light feet. He whistled for his horse. The dark brown stallion waited for him at the bottom of the last house. He hopped off the roof and landed on the back of the horse, into the saddle waiting on its' back. Bakura nudged his horse to go and it galloped. He hadn't gotten very far when the guards saw him.
"Hey you, stop!"
Bakura snorted to himself and kept going. Him ignoring them got the guards to chase him on foot. Bakura really couldn't care less, but one caught him off guard. A spear caught Bakura in the side and broke the skin. Bakura crying out and grasped his side. Hot pain washed over his left hip. Keeping one hand on the wound, Bakura continued to ride out of the city
Bakura stopped on a sandy cliff that over looked -over the city. He slowly eased himself onto a cliff and examined the wound. Ruby blood was spilling onto his coffee-colored hand. The beige lining of his coat was stained the crimson color.
"I need this wound treated." He muttered. To his displeasure, the thief ripped a piece of lining free on tended the wound.
"This will have to due." He muttered and pulled himself onto his horse. The horse and rider head west, across the sand to an oasis that was said to have the clearest waters in all of Egypt lay. Unknown to him though, this would be where our story begins.
So sorry that this chapter is insanely short, but the whole time I was thinking this I was thinking when Bakura was running across the stone bridge that was connected to the palace. Due to the lateness of the chapter, I thought my laptop crashed on meh but lucky the powerbar was just turned off. Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
TTFN!
