Carved in Stone

Chapter 3- Necropolis of Thieves

Let’s refresh our memories........

 

            Bakura slowly unzipped Marik’s tan colored cargo shorts and let them fall to his ankles.
Marik responded by duplicating Bakura’s actions.

 Bakura’s eyes filled with demonic lust. He reached out and grabbed Marik by the front of his
black sleeveless t-shirt and pulled him in closer. Both theodieodies trembled with anticipation as
they stripped each other of their garments.

 Marik grabbed Bakura by wrists and yanked him roughly against his sleek body.

“You know Bakura, the desert can be a dangerous place” he purred in a low, sexy voice.

Bakura’s eyes glowed with lascivious desire. He nipped at Marik’s bottom lip and chuckled.

“Dangerous? What’s out there that I should be scared of?”

Marik captured Bakura’s lips with his own and moaned lightly. He released Bakura’s wrists and
ran his hands up to Bakura’s shoulders.

“Many things”

Bakura wrapped his arms around Marik’s slender waist and pressed his body closer to his bronzed Egyptian lover. He closed his eyes and gave in to Marik’s kiss.

“Like.....mmm......what?” he moaned intermittently between breaths.

Marik slowly trailed his lips down Bakura’s chin and down his neck.

“Jackals” he responded in a raspy voice.

Bakura tilted his head off to one side to give Marik better access. He reached between their
bodies with one of his hands and gripped firmly onto Marik’s rock hard manhood.

“Why should I be scare of a mangey beast?” he chuckled.

Marik growled and than bit down hard into Bakura’s collar bone. Bakura cried out in pleasure
and pain as Marik’s incisors piercerougrough his scorching flesh.

“They bite” Marik laughed as Bakura’s blood pooled around his teeth. He greedily lapped up the
red fluid oozing from the wound with his tongue.

Bakura squeezed Marik’s arousal between his fingers as hard as he could and snarled.

“I’ll choke the bastard.”

Marik clenched his teeth and hissed. He dug his fingers into Bakura’s shoulders and forced the
tomb robber down to his knees. He grabbed two fistfuls of Bakura's thick white hair. His eyes
flickered with poisonous desire as he glowered down at his accomplice. He slowly lowered
himself to his knees so that he was eye level with Bakura. He let go of Bakura’s hair and ran his
hands through his hair and down onto his chest. Marik brought his blood stained lips to Bakura’s
and kissed him fervently.

As he was exploring Bakura’s mouth with his tongue, he eased him onto his back.

Bakura went down willingly and wrapped his legs around Marik’s waist. Marik moaned as he
began pumping his arousal agt Bat Bakura’s.

Their hands busily explored each others bodies as they drenched each other with steaming
kisses.

“Another thing to you should beware of, Bakura.......” Marik purred seductively as he positioned
himself at Bakura rear entrance.

“What’s that?” Bakura moaned.

Marik laughed evilly as he slammed himself into Bakura’s unprepared body.

Bakura let out a howl of pain as Marik impaled him. His body shook with intense pain as his
blood trickled down onto the sand beneath him.
"Poisonous serpents." Marik hissed as he began thrusting into the writhing yami below him.

Bakura's body quickly adjusted to Marik's intrusion, and before long he was bucking his hips
upwards into Marik's thrusts.

Marik gripped tightly onto Bakura’s hips as he ruthlessly pounded him into the sand. Bakura
reached around Marik with one arm and hung on tightly. He used his free hand stroke himself
along with Marik’s rhythmic movements.

The sun burned down on their bodies as they brought each other to a simultaneous climax.

Bakura dug his fingernails deeply in to Marik’s back as his body convulsed with his release.

Marik’s pleasure filled cries echoed through the deserted valley below as he erupted in ecstasy.

As the last drops of his essence spilled into Bakura, he collapsed breathlessly into the sand next
to his partner.

Bakura was the first to sit up and start gathering his clothes. He discovered he was rather sore
after their little romp in the sand, so instead of getting dressed, he just limped over to their
“borrowed” SUV and tossed his clothes into the back seat through an open window. He reached
inside and grabbed pack of matches and a pack of cigarettes off of the dashboard. Bakura leaned
back onto the door and tapped a cigarette out of the pack. He slipped it between his lips and
tossed the pack back into the SUV. He struck a match against the pack and used it to light the
cigarette dangling from his lips. Moments later Marik, fully clothed, joined him.

“So did you want to head back to camp now?” Bakura mused as he stared down at his toes in the
sand.

Marik shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s up to..”

Bakura reminiscently stared down at the rocky, dilapidated tombs in the valley below them and
sighed.

“Let’s wait......”

Marik nodded his head and joined Bakura in viewing the desolate majesty of the Valley of the
Kings..He could see Bakura was absorbed in his thoughts, so he remained quiet.

Bakura slowly smoked his cigarette as the hot sun beat down on his shoulders. He was silent for
quite some time before something made him snicker. Marik looked over his shoulder and made
a face at him.

“May I ask what’s so funny?”

Bakura took a deep breath and pointed to something in the distance.

“Do you see the vultures over there devouring the rotted flesh of that camel?”

Marik squinted his eyes to get a better look at what Bakura was seeing.

He made a sour face as he sed sed on the festering blob of camel carcass.<

“That was a camel? What’s so funny about that? It’s rather unpleasant if you ask me.”

Bakura snickered as he took another drag of his cigarette.

“I had to eat malodorous carcasses like that back when I was mortal. I used to break the necks of
those birds with my bare hands in order to fight them off for my supper.”

Marik cringed at the thought of eating the decaying beast.

“THAT, Bakura, is just fucking disgusting. I’m glad I never that desperate for food. Honestly, I
would rather starve to death than eat something that shitty looking.”

Just as the words left his mouth, Marik’s stomach growled loudly.

Bakura chuckled as he tossed his cigarette down and scooped sand over it with his toes.

“Let’s get going. You’d better hope we can find our way back to camp.”

Marik glanced back at the maggot infested mound of rotting camel flesh and shuddered.

Bakura limped around the back of the SUV over to the driver’s side and got inside. Before
sitting down, he grabbed Ryou’s t-shirt and spread it out over the hot seat.

Marik got into the passenger side and looked at Bakura curiously.

“Bakura? Shouldn’t you, er.....put your clothes on instead of sitting on them? You’re hikari’s
father might keel over if he sees you covered in blood and bruises.”

Bakura whimpered as he adjust the position of the seat to tilt back more.

“I would, but I think I got a little too much sun.”

Marik noticed that Bakura’s skin had turned a deep shad red red. He covered his mouth and tried
holding back his laughter.

“Is that sunburn, Bakura? Has the relentless Egyptian sun claimed another victim?”

Bakura made a sour face.

“Just shut the fuck up about it. I can’t help that my hikari is a pale as a ghost.”

Marik admired his deeply bronzed skin and flashed a cocky smile. Bakura only rolled his eyes as
he started up the SUV. Marik kicked his feet up onto the dashboard and relaxed as they sped
away.

            After driving around aimlessly for two hours, Marik figured out that Bakura had gotten
los lost. Bakura repeatedly denied that he was lost, but once the needle on the gas gauge
started dipping closer to empty, he finally admitted he was lost. Marik forced Bakura to pull
over and switch seats. Bakura reluctantly got out of the SUV walked gingerly around to the other
side. He hesitated before getting in.

Marik walked around the vehicle and looked at the blood stained t-shirt still spread across the
drivers seat. He looked up and watched Bakura very carefully step up into the SUV. He winced
in pain as he sat down.

Marik tossed the bloody t-shirt into the backseat and sat down. He looked over his shoulder at
Bakura and got the impression that Bakura was in a lot of pain.

“Bakura? Are you sure you’re going to be alright? You’re looking more emaciated than usual.”

Bakura adjusted the seat so that is was fully reclining back and closed his eyes.

“I’m fine” he whimpered as he shifted around to get more comfortable.

Marik took one last glance at Bakura and shook his head.

“Why do I get the impression that you’re lying to me?”

Bakura only moaned lightly in response.

Marik quickly got them back on a main road and figured out where they were. It was over a three
hour drive to camp from where they were located.

“Shit” He grumbled to himself as he glanced akurakura. He noticed that his cohort was looking
even worse. His skin was fire engine red, and blisters had begun to form all over his body..

Marik knew he needed to get back to camp as quick as possible. Bakura’s condition was
growing more serious as they drove on.

“Bakura, you need to stay with me here......don’t fall asleep.” Marik said firmly.

Bakura peeped out from half closed eyes and moaned.

“Wa.......ter” he practically whispered.

Marik desperately rummaged around the SUV in search of something for Bakura to drink.

“Damn it, we don’t have any with us!” he growled.

Marik continued to frantically drive toward the excavation site, even though it was still over an
hour away.

As fate would have it, the SUV began to sputter. Marik glanced at the gas gauge and sighed.

“Fuck, out of gas. Now what the hell do I?!&#?!”

Suddenly, Marik’s eyes grew very dark, and the ends of his hair began to twitch. A glowing
Millennium eye appeared in the middle of his forehead from out of nowhere. As if he was being
lead by an unseen inner force, he pulled the SUV over to the side of the road and parked it. He
jumped out of the vehicle and quickly rushed around to the other side. Marik threw open
Bakura’s door and hovered over the unconscious yami.

“Come on ‘Kura, hang in there.” he pleaded as he scooped Bakura into his arms.

Marik instinctively started running into the desert with Bakura in his arms. He ran as fast as his
legs would take him, not stopping even once to look around.

Aftefew few minutes, he realized there was something green up ahead. To his relief, it was a
small oasis. It consisted of a few clusters of trees and a small pool of water.

Marik quickly laid Bakura in the cool, clear water and held his head up.

“You’re going to be okay, Bakura” he sighed as the Millennium eye disappeared from his
forehead.

Marik than took off his shirt and drenched it in the water. He gently dabbed it on Bakura’s face,
hoping that it would help him come to.

Minutes passed, and slowly Bakura started waking up.

Marik breathed a sigh of relief as Bakura regained full consciousness.

“Marik? Where are we? Why are we here?” Bakura asked quietly as he looked around his new
surroundings.

Marik ran his fingers through Bakura’s hair and smiled.

“We’re at an oasis. We’re here because you were about to keel over from heat stroke.”

Marik looked around the oasis and screwed up his face.

“Why does this place seem so familiar? I don’t remember ever being here before, yet it feels like
I have.”

Bakura picked himself up and sat upright. Marik stood up and stared walking around the oasis,
leaving Bakura behind to soak in the cool water.

//Bakura, are you okay?// Ryou ask through their thought link.

“Yes, I’m fine. Just a little dizzy.” Bakura responded.

//You had me worried yami, don’t ever do that again! I found you on the floor of your soul room
unconscious. I tried to wake you up, but you were totally out. I was scared you were gone!//

Bakura laughed sarcastically as he got up out of the water and walked in the direction Marik had
wandered off in.

“Ryou, you should know better. I’m not that easy to get rid of.”

//I hope so. I don’t know what I’d do without you.//

 

The sound of Marik shouting interrupted their conversation.

“Bakura! Bakura! Come quickly! You must see this!”

A hint of urgency rang through in Marik’s voice.

“On my way!” Bakura shouted back as he hurried into the direction of Marik’ice.ice.

 

Bakura found Marik standing in front of a large stone tablet laying on the ground. There were
other similar stones scattered around it.

“You have to see this” Marik gasp.

Bakura sided up to Marik and looked over the flat, hieroglyphic covered stones

Marik studied at the ancient writing on a couple of the tablet shaped stones and looked up at
Bakura.

“This says “Mesedsura”[1]and this says “Wahankh.”[2] I think this one says “Tepemkau.” [3]

Bakura cocked his head curiously.

“Ha, cool, I think we’ve stumbled an undisturbed ancient necropolis.”

Marik suddenly covered his mouth and started to laugh.

“Check this out, this one says “Mariknodjmet.” [4]

Bakura chuckled as he read the hieroglyphs for himself.

“You know Marik, we should tell Ace, I mean, Dave about these.”

Marik nodded his head and got to his feet.

“Yes, we should. He just better give me the credit for finding them.”
