Chapter 10
Mahaado
found Bakura not days later, when he returned, this time, dragging the mummy of
King Akunumkanon behind him. Mahaado stifled a snort as he stood slightly behind
Yami’s throne, waiting…
There were
shocked gasps and exclamations from all.
Well,
Bakura *was* wearing the Sennen Eye… that might contribute to some of it.
Mahaado felt Yami tense slightly.
< Shall
we? >
< Yes,
it’s time… >
Yami stood,
shaking. “F-Father…”
Shimon
smiled faintly, finally, the Pharaoh seemed to have woken from his drugged
state, but was it enough? And at such a time!
Shadah gasped, summoning
Twin-Headed Jackal Warrior to deal with this threat. Mahaado and Mana
respectively summoned fourth Magician of Illusions and Black Magician Girl,
Aishizu called Supiera…
In
response, Diabound was released. Karim sucked in a breath at the sight of that
monster. What terrible hatred faced them…!
What were
they to do now?
Mahaado and
Mana nodded to each other and Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl activated
something equivalent to the Magician’s Cross Card combining the power of their
two monsters only instead of doing 3000 it rose to 4000…
Bakura
staggered back quite a ways from the impact, and his Ba gauge dropped
dramatically. Shadah hurriedly tied Diabound up with Kunai with Chain while
Supiera protected her comrades with a Rainbow Barrier.
Excellent
teamwork, Shimon thought proudly. Ah, if only they could be like this all the
time…
Bakura fled
before they could do anything else, although Shadah’s Jackal was almost dragged
off with him. The Priest of the Ankh frowned.
Bakura –
that was the legendary Thief King? The one who had… well, he had
pillaged Pharaoh Akunumkanon’s tomb!
Mahaado was
most displeased and everyone could tell. After all, this was like a failure of
his duty, only now, there was no Seto around to berate him for it.
Perhaps
that was a bad omen…
“Well,
teacher, we did well.”
“That we
did…”
“I do think
I should feel worse over my father…” Yami said, “But we’ll take it step by
step.”
Mahaado
smiled as he cast his eyes around. Nothing, but one can never be too
careful…the walls in the palace have ears…
<
Masterful acting. And Shimon is ever so glad that you have finally awoken and
can embrace your proper destiny… >
< The man is an old fool. >
<
Indeed. >
Bakura
found himself retching up everything he had eaten in the past few days. It
wasn’t air, but somehow, something had happened and how he was…
Well,
whatever it was, it wasn’t good.
Mahaado
smirked slightly as he watched from a distance, the raven not bothering to
explain his presence. So… Bakura was already changing. Amazing, because he
hadn’t even had any red stones yet.
Perhaps it
was because he had been in close proximity of the creation spell for the Sennen
Items and therefore absorbed some of the Shadow Realm’s dark energy?
That could
be it…
Making his
presence known, the raven flew overhead and dropped a small chunk of glowing
red stone. Bakura picked it up, feeling odd… before he put it in his mouth,
chewed, and swallowed.
Eyes
immediately began to glow with laughter.
“It seems
that Greed… has been reborn…”
“It seems
so, my Pharaoh.”
Yami
frowned slightly. “Is it odd that I am not yet accustomed to that title?”
“Should you
be?” Mahado asked in response, eyes darkened with something akin to possession,
although he would have denied it.
“Never you
fret. I’ve eternity to see how it works.”
Mahaado
smiled in response, eyes bright. “I understand, my Pharaoh.”
I
understand completely….
Perhaps it
is because I am the elder, if only by mere hours… but the black blood runs red
in our veins and we become more than humans.
Not Gods,
oh no, we will not reach that high, but… even so, Pharaoh is Horus-on-earth…
and I am now his consort.
Should I be
pleased? I do love him, if what such as we possess can still be termed love.
Perhaps tis mere affection, but an affection that transcends death…
Isn’t it
odd?
There was a
soft footfall. Mahaado and Yami did not move. They saw a golden eye peek over
the rim, followed by a normal one.
Ah… Bakura…
or more precisely…
“So you’re
the ones. I should have known.” Bakura smirked. “I wonder what you are? Envy,
perhaps?”
Mahaado
smirked coolly. “Guess.”
“Well, no,
perhaps the Pharaoh is Envy… after all, he seems quite unsettled… no? Then
Sloth? If my presence commands no attention…”
“You think
too highly of yourself, Greed…”
“Perhaps I
do, perhaps I do!” Bakura laughed. “So now we are… how many?”
“Five.”
“Five… and
I get this chunk of gold to go along with it. Wonderful, wonderful…”
“This does
not in any way imply anything.”
“Ah, yes
Pharaoh. Pity I cannot kill you now. Still, your dear old father went quite
easily…” He frowned at Yami’s smile.
“Did he?”
Mahaado asked wryly.
“You’re in
charge of the Tombs…”
“And so I
am, but perhaps I shirk my duty?”
“Oh no, all
of Egypt knows of your vaunted loyalty. But in it’s own way it’s quite
treacherous, in my opinion. If you ever got it into your head to betray him…”
“Thankfully,”
Yami cut in, “That is not a concern of mine.”
“And you
seem much more awake now. An act, earlier?”
“Of
course.”
“Well, one
against four isn’t good odds, with you all on even footing with me…”
“Not quite.
You’re still human, at least a bit. It’ll take a few days.” Mahaado smirked in
response, “For your body to accustom itself to the red stone…”
“And you’re
the only one who knows how to make it, Priest?”
“One other, but her secrets
are mine and she betrays me not…”
“Very well.
You stay out of my way... and I stay out of yours. Sound fair?”
“Fair.”
Yami conceded.
They needed
no oaths. The red stone bound them all together like leaden chains…
