Guest- Hmm, not for awhile.
FreakyAnimeFanGirl- Thanks!
k- Yes it was.
GirlFish- You might have to wait for the next trial a little bit more. He did have it bad.
Rayen Autumn King- Yep.
ShandyCandy- Don't worry, Bakura. My friend doesn't either. I get why everyone would feel bad though. You were kind of hoping he'd die a painful death a few chapters ago.
ShadowMousy- Thanks! Don't worry, it isn't Bakura or Marik.
Onto the chapter!
Chapter 22
The one who hired me isn't a noble.
The cold words echoed in the room. Aknamkanon and the others present weren't sure what to think. The Pharaoh was worried because of the infiltration. The others were worried for oteer reasons.
Yami, Atem, Bakura, and Marik were worried about the ones they cared about: Yugi, Heba, Ryou, and Malik.
The girls weren't sure what to think. Yugi was a little worried, but the only non-nobles that she knew were Bakura, Marik, Ryou, and Malik. She knew none of them would attempt to harm anyone.
"You." Aknamkanon said to the assassin. "Do you have a name?"
"I don't know." The assassin turned to face him. "If I did have one, I forgot it."
"Do you know who hired you." Yami demanded. While he was shocked at the assassin's treatment, he wanted revenge more.
"Yes. But, I won't say."
"Why-" Yami was cut off.
"Confidentiality." Was the reply. "Although, I could probably give you a hint."
"We will wait." Aknamkanon said calmly.
"What!" Yami turned to his father. "But we could arrest the one who ordered this attack."
"And what would that accomplish?" Aknamkanon asked. "Yes you will have revenge, but what will happen to this boy?" The assassin looked up as if surprised that someone was worried about him.
Aknamkanon stood. "We will take a short break." He said. "Take the assassin back to Isis' room. We need to see the injuries."
"Yes Pharaoh." Bakura and Marik pulled the assassin out.
Mira met his eyes for a short while, but they seemed to recognize each other. Although only Yugi noticed.
"That damn assassin." The person said. "I could finish him off in his cell, but they had to take him to Isis."
They stopped muttering as he noticed a certain blonde haired girl walked past. Mira.
They smiled.
"Isis," Aknamkanon asked the healer when she entered the room. "How are the wounds on the assassin?"
"The wounds are terrifying. Some have been there for awhile." Isis replied. "And I'm afraid that there are not only physical wounds. From what he said during the trial, he would also have a few mental wounds."
The assassin was laying in bed, but didn't let his guard down. He didn't know what would happen, but there were a few people here who would be happy to see him die or kill him themselves.
He was forced out of his thoughts when the door opened. He turned to look and smiled.
"Well, it's nice to see you again." He said. "You look different
"The last time we saw each other, we were children."
"True, true." The assassin said, shrugging. "Still, I barely even recognized you during the trial, Mira."
And that's it! Hope you enjoyed! Leave a review on your way out.
