Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Tomb Robbing with Bakura ❯ ch. 2 ( Chapter 2 )

Akio- ^_^ Thanks for the reviews Steffiey and sakurasilly!! I really appreciated them! ^-^

Anyways… I don’t own YGO!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Akio- Ok, so far, all we’ve learned about Bakura is that he’s a slob, he likes reptiles, and he eats the most disgusting things. Unfortunately, we have yet to witness him rob tombs. *fumes* Must.. Plot… *idea* Oh! I know! Oy! ‘Kura!

Bakura- Don’t call me that!

Akio- Call you what?

Bakura- “ ‘Kura”. *glare* Or I’ll call you “ ‘Kio”.

Akio- *shrugs* Whatever floats your boat.

Bakura- …What did you want again?

Akio- ^^ Can I go tomb robbing with you? Please?

Bakura- Hmm… Lemme think about that… No.

Akio- Why?!

Bakura- It’s too dangerous!

Akio- How is it dangerous?! …Wow, that was a stupid question.

Bakura- Yes it was. I mean, there are snakes and spiked pits and if you get caught, you get sent to jail!

Akio- That sucks.

Bakura- Yeah, it does.

Akio- …Does this mean you’re worried about my well being?

Bakura- No. I don’t want you to get me caught.

Akio- *sarcastically* Thanks for the vote of confidence. But I still want to go!

Bakura- You can’t!

Akio- Why not!?

Bakura- Because… Because… Because you’re a girl! That’s why!

Akio- *outraged* WHAT?! WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING!?

Bakura- Well, you can’t go tomb robbing in a skirt for one thing.

Akio- You do!

Bakura- This is a pair of pants with a cover over them.

Akio- It’s a skort! *(Skort: shorts with a skirt connected to them)*

Bakura- Is not! Besides! Yours is just a skirt!

Akio- I have pants!

Bakura- …Well, you still can’t go.

Akio- Why?!

Bakura- *sighs* Ok, I’ll let you go. But first, you have to challenge the Pharaoh to a shadow game to prove your bravery. *smirks*

Akio- *blinks several times* Is that all?

Bakura- *eyes bug out* Is that all!? Is that all!?? You should be trembling in fear! *shakes Akio* WHY AREN’T YOU TREMBLING!?

Akio- *blinks several times* Isn’t it just like Duel Monsters? Why should I be scared?

Bakura- You’re really not scared? *is VERY surprised*

Akio- No, not really.

Bakura- *awed* Wow…

Akio- So, when are we leaving?

Bakura- Right now.

Akio- *startled* Now?

Bakura- Yup. Go get your stuff.

Akio- Oh… Ok. *goes to her “room” to get her deck. Then pops her head out from behind the door* So, if I challenge the pharaoh to a Shadow Game, I get to go tomb robbing with you, right?

Bakura- >.> Uh.. Sure…

Akio- Promise.

Bakura- …Yes.

Akio- *elated* n.n Yay! *has her deck and comes out of her room* Let’s go!

~At the Palace~

Akio- Wow… *stupefied* This place is huge!

Bakura- *nonchalantly* That’s because this is a palace.

Akio- *mutters* Like I’ve ever been in a palace.

Bakura- Ok, let’s go.

Akio- ^^ Ok!

Guard- *spots Akio and Bakura* Halt! Who are you and what are you doing here?

Akio- Umm…

Bakura- *coolly* We have business with the pharaoh.

Guard- *narrows eyes* What kind of business?

Akio- The kind that’s none of yours.

Guard- *narrows eyes* Is that so? Well, that’s some pretty big talk coming from a child.

Akio- *eye twitches* Child? *angry* CHILD THIS! *tackles him*

Guard- @-@

Akio and Bakura- *walk past whistling*

~About 10 Minutes later…~

Akio- *looking around a huge corridor* Where are we?

Bakura- *looks lost* I have no idea…

Akio- *rolls eyes and then sees a door* Oh! Look! A door! We can see if anyone’s behind it and then ask them where the pharaoh is.

Bakura- That’s stupid.

Akio- Why?

Bakura- You can’t just ask for what direction we can go to find the pharaoh!

Akio- *growls* What’s with guys not wanting to ask for directions? (A:N// I know, that’s a stereotype, but Bakura seems like the type who wouldn’t want to ask for directions. ^^)

Bakura- *sighs* Fine.

Akio- n.n *knocks on the door. There isn’t an answer.*

Bakura- *opens the door* O-O Akio… We’re standing in front of the pharaoh’s bedroom…

Akio- *looks at him quizzically* How do you know that?

Bakura- Because that’s him sleeping in that bed.

Akio- Oh. Is he asleep?

Bakura- Isn’t that what I just said?

Akio- *hears something and turns around* Oh, shoot. *hisses at Bakura* The guards are coming!

Bakura- Quick, in here! *pulls Akio into the pharaoh’s bedroom and quickly shuts the door*

Akio- Now what?

Bakura- *slides down the door and sits down* I’ll think of something.

Akio- *sits next to him* Ok.

~10 Minutes Later…~

Akio- *is sleeping and is resting her head on Bakura’s shoulder*

Bakura- *is asleep with his head against the door and is drooling slightly (but thankfully not on Akio!!)*

Pharaoh- *opens eyes sleepily, yawns, and stretches* Man that was a good nap. *sits up and freezes in horror as he sees Akio and Bakura in his room. Silently, as to not wake up the intruders, he inches over to his desk and opens a drawer, revealing a shiny dagger. The pharaoh takes the dagger and slinks over to Akio and Bakura.**in harsh tones* Wake up! *about to kick Bakura when he sees Akio’s eyes fly open*

Akio- *stares at the pharaoh* Oh crap… *nudges Bakura* Dude… Wake up…

Bakura- *groggily* Huh… Wha…?

Akio- He’s awake…

Bakura- Who’s awake?

Akio- The pharaoh, you idiot!

Bakura- *is now wide awake* Uh oh…

Pharaoh- *harshly* Who are you and what are you doing here?

Akio- I’m-

Bakura- The name’s Namu. My friend here is-

Akio- ^^ Akio!

Pharaoh- *blinks* Namu and Akio?

Akio- n.n Yup!

Pharaoh- What are you two doing here?

Akio- *blinks several times* We got lost.

Pharaoh- So you came to my room?

Akio- Looks like it. …Who are you again?

Pharaoh- *astonished* I am the Pharaoh of Egypt.

Akio- *waves that statement off* I know that. I meant, what’s your name?

Pharaoh- …How can you live in Egypt and not know my name?

Akio- I’m not Egyptian.

Pharaoh- Hmm… Where are you from?

Akio- *narrows eyes* Tell me your name first.

Pharaoh- Why should I?

Akio- We told you our names, so now it’s your turn!

Pharaoh- Oh. Well, I’m Atemu. Now, where are you from?

Akio- *thinking quickly* Uh… Greece!

Atemu- Greece?

Akio- Yeah! Greece!

Atemu- *excitedly* Which part of Greece?

Akio- Err… Athens?

Atemu- ^_^ Awesome!!

Akio- *thinking* Wow… I didn’t think that would work…

Atemu- *sits down in front of Akio* What’s it like in Greece?

Akio- *has never been to Greece in her life* Uh.. It’s green…You know, ‘cause of all the grass and olive trees and such.

Atemu- Do you like olives?

Akio- >< Ew, no!

Atemu- Oh. Hey! Are there really satyrs there??

Akio- Uh… Sure, why not?

Atemu- Cool!! Have you met Hercules? And is he really part god??

Akio- No and I highly doubt it.

Atemu- Oh. Hmm… Have you ever been to the underworld??

Akio- ~ ~# DO I LOOK DEAD TO YOU!?

Atemu- …I’ll take that as a no. Have you seen Apollo?

Akio- *has a blank look and then…* Oh! Apollo! Greek god of the sun, poetry, music, and medicine! And who the Greeks consider to be the handsomest of the of the Greek gods and despite this he seems to have a hard time getting a girlfriend?

Atemu- Yeah! Him!

Akio- Nope, never in my life.

Atemu- Oh. Have you seen-

Akio- No.

Atemu- *pouts* But you don’t even know what I was going to say!

Akio- I bet you I haven’t seen it.

Atemu- But- *is interrupted by a knock at the door* Yes?

Voice- Sire, who are you talking to?

Atemu- Um… Myself?

Voice- *sighs* Again, sire?

Atemu- Yes.

Voice- *sighs again* Very well. Anyways, I wanted to tell you that two strange people are here and one of them knocked out a guard.

Atemu- O O *looks at Bakura*

Bakura- *shakes his head and points at Akio*

Akio- *smiles sheepishly*

Atemu- O O Very well. You are dismissed.

Voice- Yes, Sire. *leaves*

Atemu- *looks at Akio* You knocked out a guard?

Akio- Yeah... Sorry about that…

Atemu- Sorry? SORRY?

Akio- Meep! *is scared*

Atemu- n.n That’s so cool! *glomps Akio*

Akio- @.@ *thinking* He thinks everything is cool… Hey! He glomped me! T.T I’m confused.

Atemu- *sits up* How’d you do it?

Akio- n.n I tackled him. And then I think he hit his head pretty hard on the floor.

Atemu- Why‘d you tackle him?

Akio- *pouts* He called me a child.

Atemu- How old are you?

Akio- Fourteen.

Atemu- *looks at Bakura* She’s not a child… Heck, she’ll be ready to marry soon.

Bakura- *crosses his arms and nods in agreement* Yup.

Akio- *is horrified by this statement* Married?! At fourteen?!

Bakura- Of course, you’d have to wait a couple of years. Are you betrothed?

Akio- *looks at him like he’s crazy* No! I’m fourteen! My parents don’t want me to get married until I’m like, twenty-three or something!

Bakura- You age has nothing to do with being betrothed.

Atemu- *looks at Akio confused* Twenty-three? That’s kinda old to get married, isn’t it?

Akio- No! *is not liking this conversation*

Atemu-*holds up hand in mock-defeat* Ok then. Whatever floats your boat.

Akio- Thank you!

Bakura- But twenty-three is still kinda old.

Akio- ARGH!! *puts head in hands* Why me…?

Bakura-You’re the one who said you weren’t a child.

Akio- But I didn’t mean I was thinking about marriage! I’m fourteen! I’ve got other stuff to worry about!

Atemu and Bakura- Like…?

Akio- Stuff!

Atemu and Bakura- *look at her inquiringly*

Akio- *exasperatingly* Can we talk about something else?

Bakura- Oh yeah… Akio and I should be leaving. We have to-

Atemu- n.n Nonsense! I insist you two stay for dinner!

Bakura- But your guards don’t seem to like us much.

Atemu- ^^ All the more reason you two should stay.

Akio and Bakura- *are humored by this statement*

Atemu- Alright! Let’s go eat!

Akio and Bakura- *stand up*

Akio- *helps Atemu up*

Atemu- ^^ Let’s go! *walking ahead of Bakura and Akio*

Bakura- *whispering* Why’d you tell him your real name?

Akio- *whispers back* I couldn’t think of another name! Besides, what kind of name is “Namu”?! (A:N// I can just feel Marik’s glare… n.n;;)

Atemu- *somehow ended up behind Bakura and Akio* ^ ^ Whatcha talkin’ about?

Akio- Umm…

Bakura- *tugs at his collar* Well, you see…

Akio- We were wondering if your hair was like that naturally.

Atemu- Oh. ^^ Yup!

Akio- Nice.

Bakura- *mutters sarcastically* Nice save.

Akio- ;p

Atemu- Let’s eat! *opens the door to the dining room*

Little Man- *runs up to Atemu* Your Highness! The suitors are here!! (A:N// Umm… I have no idea what you call girl suitors…^^;;)

Atemu- *grimaces* I thought they were coming tomorrow!

Little Man- ^^;; They’re early?

Suitors- *giggle and wave at Atemu*

Akio- Umm… Maybe we SHOULD go…

Bakura- *whines* Aw, Akio! Do we have to?

Akio- *stares at Bakura* Dude-

Atemu- O-O *rushes up to Bakura and Akio and whispers* Please don’t leave me here with them!!

Akio- *feels bad for Atemu* Fine, we’ll stay.

Bakura- We will? ^-^ Yay!

Akio- - -#

Atemu- Thank you! *turns around and clears his throat* May I have your attention?

Suitors- *turn around*

Atemu- I would like to introduce my friends, Akio and Namu.

Akio- ^^ Hello!

Bakura- *acting all cool* Hn.

Suitors- *completely ignore Akio and wave flirtatiously at Bakura* Hi Namu!

Bakura- *is blushing REALLY bad*

Akio- *snickers*

Atemu- *ushers Akio and Bakura over to the table* You can sit there, Namu. *sits him down on his right* And Akio, you can sit here. *sits Akio at his left* ^-^ *is in between Akio and Bakura*

Suitors- *either glaring at Akio for sitting next to Atemu or flirting with Bakura*

Bakura- ^-^() Ladies, ladies! There’s plenty of Namu to go around!

Akio- *coughs to hide her laughter*

Atemu- ^-^;; He seems to be taking this rather well.

Akio- Yup. *suddenly zones out* *thinking* Hey… This plate is shinny! …I didn’t know I was obsessed with shinny things. Hey… Is someone shaking me? *snaps back into reality* Hm? What?

Atemu- He wants to know what you want to drink. *points at the Butler who’s standing behind Akio*

Butler- Good evening.

Akio- …Hi.

Butler- Can I interest you in some wine? We have the finest wine in all of Egypt! We have red wine-

Akio- Water.

Butler- But-

Akio- I’m fourteen.

Butler- Oh… I didn’t realize you were a child.

Akio- I’m not a child!!

Atemu- She’s right. She’ll be able to get married in a couple of years.

Akio- Why do you keep brining that up?!

Atemu- n.n ‘Cause it bugs you.

Akio- *has half a mind to smack him* - -#

Atemu- ^^

Butler- *senses the tension* Water it is then… *rushes off*

Akio- *takes a couple of deep breaths*

Bakura- *is flirting with the girl sitting next to him*

Akio- *is staring off into space and her eyes have a glazed over look*

Atemu- ….

~Ten Minutes Later…~

Akio- *snaps back into the real world* Wow… How long was I out for?

Atemu- About ten minutes.

Akio- Ah.

Atemu- What were you thinking about?

Akio- I forget.

Atemu- Oh.

Akio- ^^

Atemu- Hey… Have you seen-

Akio- No.

Atemu- You don’t even know what I was going to ask!

Akio- *sigh* Ok, what was the question?

Atemu- I was going to ask if you’ve seen the bazaar outside the palace.

Akio- Oh. No, not yet. Namu and I went a different way to get here.

Atemu- I see. So, how do you and Namu know each other?

Akio- Our parents are friends.

Atemu- Oh.

Akio- Yeah.

Atemu- So, how long are you planning on staying in Egypt?

Akio- A couple of days I guess.

Atemu- What do you think about Egypt?

Akio- I like it. I mean, sure there’s a lot of sand and I think I’m getting a sunburn, but besides that, it’s really cool.

Atemu- ^^ I’m glad to hear that you like it.

Akio- ^^

Atemu- So, what were you planning on doing in Egypt?

Akio- Well…

Atemu- *is taking a drink*

Akio- I’ve heard many fascinating stories about the Shadow Games.

Atemu- *practically chokes on his wine* Wha…?!

Bakura- *is totally drunk* Ha ha.. Shadow Games..

Akio- - -# Great. He’s drunk.

Atemu- *is trying to compose himself* What exactly have you heard about the Shadow Games?

Akio- Stuff…

Atemu- Like?

Akio- There are monsters!!

Atemu- And..?

Akio- ^-^;; That’s about it.

Atemu- Hmm… Were you planning on participating in a Shadow Game?

Akio- If possible.

Atemu- Would you like to face me in one?

Akio- Yeah! That would rock!

Atemu- Very well. We’ll play after dinner.

Akio- Awesome! Thank you! *hugs Atemu and thinking* This is so cool! Soon I’ll be able to go tomb robbing with Bakura!

Atemu- ..No problem.

Bakura- Ha ha.. Alright! Shadow Game!

Akio- *excited*

Atemu- *sighs and mutters* She doesn’t know how dangerous this is.
