Chapter 10

 

“So, how did it go?”

Lily blushed. “He… we… Well, didn't do anything. We just slept.”

Rose's jaw dropped. “Really? Who would have thought?”

As she began to rant, Lily sighed. “Rose! Please. You have to act polite.”

“Why should I? I'm a queen, aren't I?”

“Well, yes but even so… it's best to be nice to our new… family…”

Rose sniffed and walked out. Lily sighed.

She felt lonely here. Even her sister wasn't good company… Pharaoh Yami had been polite, but they hadn't done anything. He was probably just shy…

Well, she'd try her best!

 

“I summon the Mother Goddess Kilissa!”

“…” Mahaado stared at the monster, feeling fear coil in his stomach. That creature, a female parody of Obelisk…

It was a huge woman with two heads and six arms, but a come-hither smile on her faces and golden chains, piercings, and bracelets covering her form. Large breasts covered by sheer red linen over shiny blue skin, trailed down to her lack of legs, instead, there was a thick snake tail…

Queen Lily stared.

“Your… Ka… is impressive.” Set choked out.

How had such escaped the notice of all the Sennen Item holders? It made no sense. Aishizu touched the Tauk at her throat with a worried expression.

If she had a power to oppose the Gods, that could be troublesome, and yet…

Perhaps all was not lost. They still had Exodia, and he would be called if necessary… if this woman became a threat.

Still, uneasy feelings permeated the room.

Lily was unaware as she called her Ka beast back. “I can't believe it… I thought only Egyptians had Ka…”

No one bothered to clarify with an explanation. Akunadin finally smiled at her like a kindly uncle and mentioned that they should break for food. That was loudly enthused, and they left. Mahaado stayed behind, watching his Pharaoh's expression.

 

“How?” Yami asked, as they trailed behind the others.

“I wish I knew, my Pharaoh.”

“Even Aishizu did not see it. For her to hide such power inside is dangerous…”

“Perhaps Lily was simply unaware of her Ka. This is the first time she has summoned, after all.”

“Yes,” Yami agreed, “But we saw no potential in her. The younger was more suited to have a Ka.”

Mahaado shrugged. “The Gods work in mysterious ways.”

“Indeed.” Yami said quietly.

 

“Well, well…” A voice drawled. “Looks like I've arrived at a good time.”

Mahaado tensed, recognizing the voice from rushing battles through trap-infested labyrinths. “Bakura…!”

“Thief King Bakura, if you please.” Eyes scanned the room quickly, noticed the girl trying to hide behind Priest Shadah. So that was the girl. With a smile, he summoned his Ka, Diabound, hearing a sharp intake of breath, and grabbed her. Lily gave a squeak as she was dumped on horseback and the horse took off.

“Come back here!” Shadah cried, already summoning Two-headed Jackal Warrior to attack Bakura's Ka.

There was no reply. It was like they had simply vanished into thin air.

 

“You didn't see that coming?” Set asked Aishizu. Kisara put an arm on her husband's shoulder, gently.

Aishizu shook her head. “There was… a foreign magic blocking my sight.” She admitted. The Tauk glowed with assent.

All eyes locked on her. “But who would have magic strong enough to block the Sennen Items?” Karim wondered.

Yami's eyes narrowed. “What about my new Queen?”

After all, everyone had seen Mother Goddess Kilissa…

“Could it be that such escaped our notice?” Akunadin cursed fluently. Set's eyes rose but he made no move to stop his father.

This was not good.

 

“She may have been allied with Bakura.” Mahaado said softly. “A petty thief disguised as a Princess…”

“Such power… none of us noticed…” Shadah swore and clutched the Ankh. “I am sorry. I did not probe her with my Ankh.”

“My Scales could not tell her true intentions.” Karim added.

Akunadin sighed heavily. “My Eye was also useless.”

“Now is not the time for this.” Yami said clearly. “We are going after Bakura, we are rescuing the Queen, and we are getting some answers! If she is innocent, she may yet be saved. If not...”

They could hear the unspoken threat. If she were not, Pharaoh wanted to kill her himself. The Priests nodded.

 

“Kisara. Find Mana and stay here. Protect the Palace. If there is danger…”

Kisara smiled at her husband. “I will release the White Dragon. You will see it.”

“I understand.” Set kissed her quickly and then headed towards the stables with the other priests.

Mahaado's fingers glittered briefly with green light as he and Yami ran towards the stables. Yami gave a smile. He could almost see the armor taking form over their bodies, plates of pure magic to shield and heal…

Pretty.

 

“Let go of me!” Lily shrieked.

“Now, now, my Desert Rose, enough bickering… There's no audience to appreciate it now.” Bakura grinned at her. “Such a feisty one. I know I liked you.”

“You idiot! I'm Rose's older sister Lily!”

Bakura blinked. He took a closer look at her face, and saw gray eyes where he had expected bright green. “You mean I kidnapped the wrong sister?”

Sure enough, now he noticed the differences. Their height and coloring was about the same, but the eyes… and the facial structure.

“I thought your sister married the Pharaoh.”

“We both did! And how dare you speak of my sister! She's nothing compared to a petty thief like you!”

“I should. I'm her lover.”

“What?!”
