It's been many years since that fateful day.....
It was like a part of him died along with the village. He did infact do what he said he would- become a thief. But because of his huge lost- he stole from everyone. Those who were fortunate or not- nobody was at his mercy. He and his band of thieves had a secret base in the middle of the desert. Bakura was there King, the leader. And though he was the leader, he trusted nobody nor cared for any of his men. If they lived, they live- as long as he got his treasures and goods. His heart wwas as black as night, his soul was non-exsitent. And the only thing that filled him with any type of joy was the goods he stole- or attacks against the people of the palace. He planned, everyday to attack and destroy the ones in the palace- especially the Pharoah. Well, he was dead- so the next best thing was his retched son. The blood of the Pharoah must parash- this was his goal in life.
He and his men were covered in cloaks- Bakura in his usual red cloak. They entered the Village of Thieves- this was not their village. It was close to there base and they needed to get quick gold- penty of it. He had no shame- no honor amoung thieves. He stole from anyone, slayed anyone. He was the king, he did as he pleased. Besides, this was a terrific challenge for him- he needed this adrenaline.
A guard from the village approached his men- all of which were on horseback. "You dare to enter the Village of Thieves stranger?" he snarled.
Bakura lifted his head so much s other man would see his hellish eyes, "I dare because this village will soon be mine." And with that, he gave the word for his men to attack. The battle began.
The woman who Ammeterasu saw first in the palace did indeed take care of her as a child. Because of her care, Amme could now smile. It only took her 2 years, but she did wear a small smile. She was 16 now, and had grown to be a young woman. She had come to peace with the fact that her parents were dead- however the feeling of being alone and empty remained in her heart. Though she never showed it- it was hard for most people to see. And as she guessed, she was not completely excepted by the other children- who where now teens as she was. Though, that changed five years back- one of the children her age was hurt terribly. This boy did nothing but harass Ammeterasu- and yet it was she who helped him without question. After that, they respected her, but left her alone.
However, Prince Atem, who was now Pharoah, found time to come and meet her- to talk to her. And though he treated her well, she didn't let him into her heart- even as a friend. Because she felt alone and felt that those who were close were bound to leave her. But she was kind to him, and she did infact like him. Well, maybe a bit more then she thought. After she healed the soldier, she heard Atem speak to her. She turned around and smiled- bowing to him. She had the poor habit of treating him like a Pharoah instead of her friend. Though everyone else saw it as manners. "Thank you," she said, "how are you today?"

Amia heard a commotion and as one of Bakura's men came at her she quickly drew her sword and and cut him in half. she drew her other one and got into a fighting stance. she was surrounded, but unlike the other thieves she was hardened by her past and showed no emotion other than the enjoyment of a challenge. she smirked and did a complete 360 spin as the men charged at her. killing every single one. "heh, not even the slightest bit of a challenge.... and they call themselves thieves..... pathetic." she smirked as she took everything they had on them that was of any value. she stopped when she heard horses behind her. she turned to face a bunch of other hooded men and one in a red cloak. she smirked as she face Bakura "ahhh the legendary King of Thieves....... why am I not surprised...." she said emotionlessly as she faced him "your men around me seemed to have picked on the wrong person." her voice was much like when she was a child, but some how empty.
her jackal growled fiercely at the thieves before her and her mistress.
Atem smiled "I'm well, oh and Amme you don't have to hide yourself from me.... I wont leave or abandon you. I'll always be here for you so stop locking me out. ok?" he said with a more stern expression. he was concerned about her and hated it when she tried to hide her emotions.

Bakura saw as the woman slayed all of his men around her. No matter, he thought. The other men behind him were about to charge her, but Bakura lifted his hand up to stop them. "You all go over there, I'll take care of this one," he said. Bakura then leaped off of his horse and unsheathed his sword. He kept still in his fighters stance. "You think this was a feet to kill all my men like that?" he said as lifted his head so the hood would come off his head, "it was nothing. If you think your strong, then come at me." The words slithered out of his mouth like a snakes. He enjoyed fighting, and getting into people's minds. He did not know who this woman was- he could not see her face. Even if he could, he was possitive he wouldn't know since he knew nobody. He looked down to see the jackle. He did find it strange that a jackle would be here, he didn't put the connection together.
Amme blinked and took one step back. That was sudden of him to say, but he wasn't off. Yes, she witheld from him- from everyone. But she believed to act so genuine that nobody could tell. He could though. She lowered her head, not even sure what to say to it. Most people would be releaved and be ok with it. she wasn't. It wasn't a matter of him leaving- it was a matter of him being in a situation that forced him to leave- such as death. "I..... I'm not locking you out......" she said not making eye contact with him. She wasn't very good at lying, she stuttered a lot and didn't look at people. She shuffled her foot around a bit and added, "I need to..... go somewhere. Um, I'll see you later ok?" Though she sounded hestitant when she said this- it wasn't a lie. She did have to be somewhere, it was just somewhere she wasn't supposed to go. She planned to go into the village to make her runs. Amme would go and see if anybody needed any healing. She started to walk away and snuck around to exit without letting anybody see her. She had become very good at sneeking out- but not so much at getting back in. She hoped that Seth wouldn't catch her...... again.
[[she's in town- I'll bring her back not in the next post, but the one after that.]]

Amia looked shock to see his face but thought it was a hallucination from being out in the sun so much. she let her hood fall back as she got in her own fighting stance "If you're so mighty then come at me, or is the King scared of the Dragon." her emotionless eyes showed no fear of him or death. his taunts had no affect on her.
her Jackal growled warningly at Bakura. Amia didn't even look back "heel Star....." and the Jackal did as it was commanded.
Atem frowned "Amme....." he sighed "fine, go. I have some things to take care of myself...." he stood up with a disappointed expression and walked out.
[[ok ^,^ and poor Atem]]

The woman's hood blew off of her head. Bakura's eyes widened- it couldn't be..... No..... it wasn't possible. He gritted his teeth and crung onto his sword harder then before. This was a trick, but who would know? Who would have known her and him...... It was just simply a trick. He lounged at her, no longer even wanting to think about it another second. He payed no mind to the jackle- he concentrated on 'the dragon'. When there swords met one another, he hissed, "What trick is this you play?" His voice was low, but serious.
[[no Amme for this post :3 ]]

Amia glared "I'd like to ask you the same thing!" she didn't budge even from his strength "as for me i've always looked like this for as long as I was born!" her eyes flickered as they gave more color and emotion. but it was only rage "how dare you claim that i use trickery! I am who I am I play no faces! I am Amia, the Desert Dragon!" she roared as she began to push him back slowly.

Bakura growled at most of the things she said. It wasn't until her last sentence that his constant look of anger changed. His eyes changed from narrow to wide. As she pushed him back, he tried to get his footing down. He used his free hand to grab her by her shirt. "That's a lie!" he shouted in her face, "Don't you go around using that name you wench!" Part of him was extremely angry for this person to use her name, the other half was upset.
Amme had made her runs in the village. All was well, no major injuries. This was the tricky part though, she had to sneek back into the palace. She peeked her head up- looking for anybody that was around. As far as she could see, there was no one. "Coast is clear," she whispered to herself. As far as she knew, there was nobody there. But she was wrong.

Amia eyes became enraged "why shouldn't I! it is my birth right and my Birth name even after my parents Illness! and I am no wench! You no nothing of true suffering and despair so don't you dare spit on my name like that." she continued to push him back her rage reflected his, like one who had nothing to lose.
[lol]
Seth grabbed Amme by the arm "I thought I told you to stay within the palace! do we have to have you under constant watch again Ammeterasue!" he scolded. but he was merely trying to protect her.

The more she spoke about how it was her name, the angrier Bakura became. "Suffering? You want to know about suffering?" he hissed at her. How dare she even use that word around him like that. "I watched my village become nothing more than a waistland of pool and fire. Massacured by that Pharoah's filthy swine. No one was spare- women, children, the old, nobody. So don't you toss the word 'suffering' around as if you experienced it....." his voice was dark and yet, had a tinch of sorrow in it. " I watched my own friend die as a child...... so such your mouth before I shut it for you," he added. This was not the same Bakura as usual. He would never reveal unto others what he went through- whether they were people who were going to live or die. But ever since he saw her face and heard her voice speak that name...... he wasn't right.
Amme gasped as she felt her arm grabbed and herself tugged. Not again. It's like he knows when she is about to reenter and he knows exactly where she is. She pulled her arm away from him and looked at him defiantly- which wasn't that defiant to start with, "Seth! How can I simply stay in this palace when the people of Egypt are ill and dying? Are we not here to help and protect them?" She did not know that he scolded her for her own good- she felt that he did not care about the people- or someother selfish reason to keep her from helping.

Amia's eyes went wide as she pinned him to the wall "t-that was my village! You lie! I was the only survivor! Bakura died with the rest! I was left alone when I awoke! so don't say i know no suffering! the reason why they call me the Desert Dragon is from the strange scar I have on the back of my neck from being struck by the hilt of a sword!" she roared as she knocked Bakura's sword from his hand and pinned him to the wall. her swords making a V just over his neck "how dare you claim to be a survivor." she was blinded by so much pain and rage she couldn't put two and two together.
Seth sighed "because we need you to be safe! there's no telling if there are thieves in that city or not, do you know how heart broken Atem would be if you got hurt! he'd accuse himself for it!" he began to drag Amme back to the palace "you're back on lock down." he said plainly

His eyes stayed widened and blank as she told him her story. She.... she said his name....... Then this had to be..... Amia. His sword was knocked out of his hand and his defenses faded as he stared at her as if he had seen a ghost. "You were dead...... I watch him hit you, you fell to the ground. You did not wake, your pulse did not beat. You layed there dead with everyone else. And I left, because nothing was alive there anymore....." he said in a zombified tone. His eyes narrowed once more as he shouted, "You were DEAD!!! Dead in my f***ing arms!!!" Bakura's head swirled- this wasn't right. If she was alive, then he abandoned her this whole time. The thought angered him- he was angry at himself. It was becoming harder and harder to believe this was an imposter. "Bakura did not die that day- I did not die," he finally said after a long pause from the shout.
Amme tried to pull away from him but she was so weak and he was rather strong. So what if there were thieves in the city? All the more reason to be there to help people. However, she stopped pulling when she heard him say the next part. "What?" she said confused. Heart broken? Atem? For that very second, she thought he meant..... heart broken light that? But he didn't like her like that...... did he? Oh wait, heart broken like a friend? Oh now she wasn't sure..... She was only knocked out of her thoughts when Seth mentioned 'lock down'. For some unknown reason, she was freaked out by the idea. She's been in lock down before- nothing big. But something startled her about it this time. She threw her weight downward- sitting on the ground. Much like a stubborn child does when they do not want to go somewhere. She may not be able to get out of his grip, but she was able to make this difficult for him. "No!" she shouted in a whiney voice. Despite doing this, she knew it was going to happen anyway.

Amia's eyes widened and she dropped her swords and shook her head slowly "I-I was knock unconscious.... not dead..." after so many years her emotions started flooding back as she dropped to her knees and lowered her head as a single tear streamed down her cheek and hit the sand below her "when I woke up I-I thought they had gotten you too....... I was too frightened to look for you because i was afraid of what I may have found...." she looked back up at Bakura as a slow smile appeared on her face "you can still believe if I'm an impostor or not.... I'm just glad you're alive after all these years.. i remember how you use to try and scare me like you did with the other girls, and how you were really my only friend."
Starlight came over to Amia and wagged its tail as t nudged her.
"Bakura.... in a way both of our dreams have come true. but at a price...." she said softly as she petted Starlight, her voice had returned to it's natural smooth and emotion filled tone.
Seth growled and said in an irritated voice "fine! act like a child instead of your own age! I'll just drag you!" he said finally as he began to drag her into the palace.
Atem looked at seth with a questioning expression.
Seth looked at Atem "she's on lock down... again.." and he watched as Atem nodded understandingly. He then dragged Amme to her room "you'll be under 24 hour watch. there will be guards outside the door and below you balcony. you will be escorted to your working area and will be escorted when It's time to eat.... you know the rest.." he then put her in the room and closed the door, locking it. he then spoke to the guards and they took their positions.
[[lol how am I doing as Seth?]]

Bakura just continued to stare at her. What she said and what he remembered meshed together. He looked up to see one of his men on horseback near him. "Fall back," he commanded him.
"What? But Bakura....." the man questioned.
"I said to FALL BACK!" he gave the command again to retreat back to their base. He couldn't stay here anymore, he couldn't think right. He started to walk past Amia to leave but turned back. "Your coming with me," he said grabbing her wrist and pulling her with him. He loosened his initial tight grip after he realized he was grabbing her a bit too tight. He walked up to his horse and looked up. "I'm going to take you out of here, it's in shambles now," he said. Though the village was no where near destroyed (and not that many goods were stolen) it was pretty banged up. He knew this was Amia, but didn't know how to express how he felt- if he even felt anymore. all he knew was that he was still shocked to see her and that she needed to stay with him. "Can you get up by yourself?" he asked if she could get on his horse by herself.
Amme remained squated- puling all her weight downward. But no use, Seth continued to drag her with no problem. The bottom of her sandals made a scuffling noise as he pulled her along. Her head was down and her long hair covered her face- so when Seth was talking to Atem about what he was doing- she did not see him. She thought he was talking to the guard, which afterwards he was. After she was in her room, she leaned up against the door. She hated being in lock down- she felt caged like a bird. All the while, she still didn't understand completely why Seth was personally against her leaving. He said that it was because of Atem- she was still wondering about that. Atem obviously cared for others and ashe was no exception. But the way Seth said it made her think. Which that made her smile a bit. "Stop thinking that....." she told herself. It wasn't as she thought he intended- because that simply couldn't be. The Pharoah could have anyone he wanted- certainly wasn't going to be somebody like her. She sighed again, feeling absolutely alone in this room- moreso than she usually felt in general.

Amia nodded and hopped onto his horse after retrieving her swords. as she moved. her hair swayed to the side to reveal the strange scar on the back of her neck. she seemed a bit more relaxed but still uneasy. all of this was still a shock for her and she was trying to get over it. "I'm... glad to see that you're alive..." she said in a quiet voice.
Atem was outside her room talking to the guards. they moved aside as he walked in and sat down on Amme's bed "I'm sorry he treated you like that but we both worry about you when you disappear into the city." he said softly "Amme you're the only healer we have. and besides I really docare about you more than you think. Like when you lie to me... It hurts that you're afraid to trust me..." he said sadly.

Bakura jumped on after her- he was in front of her on the horse. He was going to ride off right there but he stopped. Her hands were around him so she could hold on while they rode. He stared down at them. He then took one of her hands and held it. While doing this he focused on her palm- taking his thumb and rubbing it. "Your hands were so small then......." he mummbled though she could probably hear, "I'm glad your alive too..." The moment was interupted when a spear was thrown at them. It missed both of them and the horse- but startled the horse. "Hang on!" he said as he grabbed the reins and controled his horse. They began to ride away from the town.
Amme felt the door behind her open. She jumped up to see Atem walk into her room. Her face was flushed from all her thoughts. She kept her head down a bit- listening to him. Yes, they care cause she is the only healer- so that was the extent. However, he added that he did care about her. A small smile did escape onto her face, but she hid it quickly. But then he mentioned about her lying to him. She quickly looked up and said, "I... I didn't lie. I did have to go somewhere. There's this woman I always go to see- she's very ill. And if I don't see her....." she said in a defensive manner. Amme completely missed what he was talking about. About when she lied about locking him (and everyone else for that matter) out.
