Author's Notes: I refer to Thief King Bakura as Touzokou, which means thief, probably because it was the first name I read associated with him.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Shipping List # 4
--
Airshipping (Doroboo Bakura x Priest Shaada) - "Ambitious"
Touzokou had snuck into the priest's temple. It was his intention to covet every single sacred golden treasure they possessed. What did priests need with gold anyway?
Coming upon the inner chamber, used for prayer to the gods, Touzokou caught sight of a figure within and ducked quickly behind a wall, craning his neck to see around the corner to determine who was inside.
It was a high priest. From his shaven head, Touzokou could tell it was the wielder of the Sennin Key, whose back was to him as the other prayed on bended knee before an altar upon which lay his Key.
Touzokou eyed the Key, glowing faintly as the many lights of flickering candles reflected off of its surface. Weighing his options, Touzokou considered abandoning his original intention for the chance to acquire the Key. The priest was unsuspecting, the Key separated from his person, which was likely the only circumstance which saved him from immediate detection. If he had but one arrow, the job would be done. Alas, he did not. The only weapon the thief possessed was a dagger which required a much closer range. In the silence of the chamber, he doubted that he could accomplish the job without a fight, but it was too tempting a chance to pass up, so with no more thought on the subject, Touzoku advanced with delicate steps and bated breath.
He was right in his assumption, the priest did hear him approach in time to counter his ambush, but without enough time to reach for his Key to aide him.
Touzokou pressed against the arm keeping his dagger from its intended home in the Key holder's chest but to no avail, so instead he threw all of his weight behind it. Anticipating that course of action, the priest allowed it, moving slightly so that Touzokou was thrown off balance, his dagger striking harmlessly against the stone floor and he with it.
In an instant, the priest was straddling him, pinning his wrists to the cold stone. Touzokou growled like a feral animal beneath the pressure, glancing fleetingly at his dagger only inches away.
"I am High Priest to the Pharaoh, Shaada." the priest informed him in a hard and regal tone that made Touzokou sick. "To attack a High Priest is to attack the Pharaoh himself, and in turn to wage war against the very Gods. Are you aware, boy, of the sacrilegious crime which you have committed? Your very soul is in danger from this path you have chosen."
"Don't lecture me!" Touzokou shouted, indignantly. "One day I will be a God! And you and all of your pathetic regime will belong to me to do with as I please!"
Priest Shaada was horribly taken aback by the would-be assassin's dramatic claims and in his state of shock, Touzokou was able to turn the tables, throwing his weight to the side to flip them both over until Shaada lay on his back beneath him. Touzokou smirked down at his shell-shocked captive.
"You'll belong to me." he said again, leaning down to the other's neck, biting hard and sucking at the small amount of blood that rose to the surface until he was sure a mark would be left. "Never forget that."
Touzokou pulled back and watched the priest with interest. Shaada's distressed expression betrayed the moan that had escaped his traitorous lips when Touzokou had assaulted his neck. Touzokou was fascinated with the display below him. An urge to repeat the outcome of his actions surged forward and on impulse, Touzokou leaned down again pressing his mouth against his captive's harshly, eliciting a surprised yelp of protest from the priest.
The thrill the teen felt only spiked when he heard voices heading their way. "I'll be back for you…and for your Key, to take what's mine." he hissed, rising fluidly and bolting toward the chamber's entrance, disappearing into the darkest shadows along the wall and vanishing into the night.
Priest Shaada stood, greeting the guards that came upon him, bowing reverently before him and continued on their way. He said nothing of the encounter with the assassin, knowing that saying it would not aide them in apprehending the intruder. The only result in speaking now would be the loss of his pride, so Shaada gathered up his Key and made his way out of the temple, heading back to the palace where he could resume his all-consuming duties and think no more of the intruder.
From the darkness of the cool desert night, a pair of zealous eyes watched the high priest set on his way beneath a thick mop of wild hair as a savage and possessive grin pulled slowly across a young and fiercely ambitious visage.
Post whatevers: I am very satisfied with the image of Touzokou that came out here; a wild teenager who's raised himself apart from much human interaction. Anyway, next up is Sugoroku x Ryouta. Please review if you liked. Ja!
