CHAPTER SIXTEEN: PROTECTION
Atem rubbed his temples in frustration, sitting in his throne with the other priests.
“Have we located Bakura yet?”
“No, his hideout has yet to be discovered.” Shimon bowed. Seto awkwardly shifted, guilt settling into the pit of his stomach. He knew he should have told them where Bakura was at, but he couldn’t. The thought of Bakura being caught or killed was too much for Seto. He knew that the thief would have to be stopped, but to be killed…Seto would have nothing left.
“We must discover where he is at…Seto.”
The priest looked up nervously, his stomach turning, “Yes?”
“I want you to take guards with you and search the city.”
“Yes.” Seto bowed, feeling somewhat relieved. He felt better knowing that the job had been assigned to him than another priest. He could protect Bakura.
Since the last time he had seen the thief, things had gotten worse and Seto didn’t know how much longer this could go on. One of the other priests had already been killed by Bakura and even though Seto mourned the loss, when the news had reached him he had been more worried about Bakura and if he was trapped in the tomb that Mahaado had sentenced him to. He would have risked his life to reach him if he had not escaped.
But all the priests were scrambling, the pharaoh unable to defeat Bakura. Seto still didn’t understand how the thief had gotten so strong. It was as if he was a different person, he had so much hatred and resentment that Seto hadn’t known.
The priests began to filter out, leaving just the priest and the pharaoh. Seto hadn’t been alone with the other since the night he’d lost his memory. He nervously waited for the other to speak, the silence draining. He looked to Atem who was mindlessly fiddling with his millennium puzzle.
“My aibou and I used to share this.”
Seto wasn’t sure what to say, he still didn’t understand what had happened to him.
“He’s here. I can feel him.” He whispered, his thumb running around the edges of the gold necklace.
Seto pulled his gaze from him, hurt flooding him. It had been too much for him to think the pharaoh, the God of Egypt could love him. He was nobody. Who was he to deserve the pharaoh?
“Bakura is evil. We have to stop him Seto. I know we can do this…if we do it together.”
“Sure, yeah.” Seto stumbled over his words, nodding his head. How could he? How could he do this?
The doors swung open interrupting their words as Shimon quickly strode towards them.
“Pharaoh! We’ve just received word that Bakura is hiding in the village of Kul Elna.”
“Kul Elna?” Atem and Seto spoke. Seto’s heart lurched, Kul Elna? He hadn’t been there since he’d first met Bakura.
He had no choice but to quickly follow the two out the palace, they were to leave right away.
As they rode, Seto’s heart beat faster, why was Bakura there? What if the priests killed him—Bakura wouldn’t see the attack coming. And would he blame Seto? After all he was the only one that knew of the village and what had happened. He silently prayed to the Gods.
“Protect him…”
He could see the village slowly appear through the mountains of desert sand, knowing…fearing this would be the last time he would see Bakura.
