Aftermath

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"YOU TRAITORS!!!" Seto screamed in fury, fighting against the men holding him. Keith smirked, as did Tea behind him. "WE WILL NEVER FOLLOW YOU!!!" Keith looked over Seto, Otogi, Mokuba, Jono, Tris, Rex, Weevil, Espa and Mako, the only men on the ship who refused to aknowledge his leadership, despite the penalty of death to those who refused. The rest of the crew stood behind Keith.

"If you will not submit, you will die, along with the three runts once they are found." Keith snapped.

"When Mikado and Ahmose, Pegasus, Shaddi, Rishido, Mai and Ishizu find out--" Otogi growled, but was slapped harshly by Keith.

"They will suffer the same fate. Join us or die."

"They will NEVER join you....." Rex spat.

"Ahmose will see you DEAD!!!" Mako growled.

"Ahmose will die." Keith argued.

"Sir! We found them!" A man known as Panic called, and walked out of the galley carrying a pale and struggling Yugi. Malik followed, supporting Ryou who was stumbling, and was followed by two more men.

"LET THEM GO!" Jono shouted.

"SETO!!" Yugi cried, frightened and in pain. "YAMI! I WANT YAMI!!!" Then he yelped as Keith grabbed his hair, forcing him to look him in the eye.

"Yami is gone. Captured by the Spanish Armada. And so were Bakura and Marik." He glanced at Malik and Ryou. "And all three will be docking in the morning to face a hangman's noose." Malik's eyes widened.

"No....." He gasped.

"Gentlemen, we will be celebrating with our own hanging!" Keith called, looking around. He pointed at Yugi, Malik and Ryou. "When the sun rises, we will see them hang!"

"DAMN YOU!!!" Seto screamed, struggling.

"You son of a bitch." A low growl was heard, and everyone grew quiet.... they knew that voice. Ryou moved away from Malik and lifted his head, fixing steely dark eyes on Keith. "You will pay for what you have done..." Keith gasped and stumbled back, half in shock, and half in fear.

"B-BAKURA!!!"

"BAKURA?!" Everyone else chorused. Seto jerked away from the men holding him as their grips loosened in their shock on seeing Bakura on the Black Magician. He whirled and punched them, pulling their swords from their belts. And all hell broke loose. Those loyal to Yami attacked those who had betrayed them. The traitors were easily overpowered as they were confused and unorganized, still in shock at seeing Bakura, who they all feared greatly. Malik slammed his foot into Panic's groin and snatched Yugi, grabbing Mokuba's hand and pulling them all to safety. Within minutes, the traitors had been subdued, and Bakura was holding a blade to Keith's throat. He growled.

"I would kill you myself...." He hissed. "But I think I will save you for the Pharaoh."

"He is as good as dead!"

"We shall see...." Bakura hissed. "SETO!"

"Yes sir!"

"See Keith and Tea are shackled and locked in the brig. As for the rest of the traitors..... Leave them to the sharks."

"Aye sir!" Seto said with a grin. "YOU HEARD HIM! MOVE!!!" Bakura watched the traitors thrown overboard, and Keith and Tea dragged below deck. Then, he turned and moved over to Malik, Yugi and Mokuba. He knelt.

"Malik. Yugi. We will get Yami and Marik back... and... and Ryou......" He said softly. Malik and Yugi were pale and shking, and they both threw themselves at Bakura. Bakura dropped his sword and caught them, holding them. "Shhhh.... It's okay......." And he let go and stood.

"TRIS!!! AFTER THAT SHIP!!!" He commanded. "JONO!!! SEND KURAMA TO AHMOSE IMMEDIATELY!!! I WANT THE ENTIRE FLEET SAILING FOR.....umm.... WHATEVER PORT THAT SHIP IS HEADING TO!!!"

"Sir!! I grew up in that city! There's a large inlet where we can all meet up five miles south of the port, Bakura!" Weevil cried. Bakura nodded.

"You navigate then, Weevil."

"Aye sir!" And the boy ran up to the helm with Tris.

"Jono, send that message!"

"YES SIR!!!"

"And have the message sent to whoever comes from the island to bring extra men since we are now severely short! Mai and Ishizu will know who Yami would choose! I want everyone in that inlet in five days!"

"YES SIR!!!"

"But Bakura!" Mokuba gasped. "Yami and Marik and Ryou will be dead by then!"

"No they won't." Bakura said, smiling and kneeling. "With such notorious pirates, there will be great trials to attract alot of attention. The King and Queen may even travel out to see the execution. It will be at least a week until they will be led to the gallows... now Mokuba.... You have the most important job of all...."

"Sir?"

"I am sending you, Seto and Otogi into the town. I will have Seto and Otogi scope out the town. I need YOU to get into the courtroom as a spy. I need for Marik and Yami to see you, so they know that all is well and we are coming. And I need you to report back to me of the court proceedings. Can you do that for me?"

"Of course, Bakura." Mokuba said with a firm nod. Bakura smiled.

"I know I can count on you, kiddo. Now get some rest."

"Yes sir!"

"SETO!" Bakura roared.

"Aye?"

"Get over here. I want my arm to be useable in five days!"

"I will see to it that it will be, Bakura." Seto said, taking Bakura's arm gently and guiding him into the captain's cabin, Yugi and Malik follwing. Bakura sat on the sofa while Seto unwound the bandage from his shoulder and checked the wound.

"I'm counting on you, Seto. Not just for my arm, but for.... everything."

"I know, Bakura. I won't let you down." Seto said. "Your wound looks fine. You can loose your sling now, if you'd like."

"Yes."

"Start exercising it, but take it slow and careful today and tomorrow."

"Very well." Bakura said, standing and slowly moving his arm around.

"What can we do?" Malik asked, looking at Bakura.

"Yugi, I want you practicing with your crossbow every chance you get. Malik, I want you to spar with the others. This is gonna be one hell of a fight, and I want to see everyone come out of it alive and with all of their limbs."

"Yes sir!" Malik and Yugi chorused, and ran off. Seto looked down at Bakura.

"They're gone now. It's okay." He said, and moved over to the door, locking it. Bakura blinked up at Seto as the tall man walked over and knelt before him. Seto reached up and gently brushed his knuckles over Bakura's cheek. "It's okay. It's just you and me now." He said. Bakura swallowed thickly, then laid his head on Seto's shoulder and cried, shaking in his worry over Yami and Marik... and Ryou.
