Stealing Beauty

Chapter One: In Which Bakura Steals a Person

For such a simple, spur of the moment decision, Bakura was amazed at how well he managed to pull it off.

The original intent had been to simply defeat Atemu and take the Millennium Puzzle, which he did. The spur-of-the-moment plan came when the Pharaoh's friends from the future reacted in an attempt to save him; he'd long-coveted the blond, and when Jounouchi had passed so close to him he'd been unable to resist.

Hell, he hadn't even been sure if he could touch the spirit travelers, but he still took the chance and punched the blond in the gut as he went by. When Jounouchi doubled over, the wind momentarily knocked out of him, Bakura easily tossed the boy over his shoulder and continued walking. The other three travelers didn't even notice, so intent they were on the Pharaoh's fate.

Bakura smirked to himself. The blond was still stunned from the blow, his breath ragged as he hung from the thief king's shoulder. Unless he missed his guess, Jounouchi would begin to struggle in about a minute. As if on cue, the boy drew in a deep breath and let out a string of obscenities as he pounded ineffectively on Bakura's back.

The thief laughed at the blond's futile effort, quickening his pace as the sound of running footsteps reached his ears; apparently Honda, Anzu and Yuugi had noticed Jounouchi's absence and drawn the correct conclusion. Reaching his horse, Bakura shifted his hold on his captive, setting the boy on his feet before him and wrapping one hand around his neck. He squeezed just enough to make it difficult for Jounouchi to catch his breath as he faced the other three travelers. The trio paused, torn between the desire to attack Bakura and the need to ensure Jounouchi's relative safety.

"Let him go, Bakura!" Honda snarled after a moment, fists clenched at his sides and literally shaking from the effort to not simply punch the grey-haired thief. Yuugi's eyes reflected anger at Bakura and concern for Jounouchi although he kept himself in check; after all, here he didn't have the Pharaoh to back him up.

Bakura laughed harshly, tightening his grip slightly. "Hmmm... no, I don't think so," he mused, wrapping his free arm securely around Jounouchi's waist. A surge of wicked glee shot through him as Yuugi's expression darkened; apparently his observations had been correct and the Pharaoh's light did indeed lust after the blond. "I need a little... insurance that you won't interfere in my game," the thief added almost as an afterthought.

"Bastard...." Honda's words trailed off as Anzu rested one hand lightly on his arm before turning to Bakura.

"Alright," the girl said somewhat reluctantly. "We'll stay out of the way. Just..." she paused for a moment, her eyes darting to Yuugi for a moment before continuing, "don't hurt Jounouchi-kun."

Bakura quirked an eyebrow; Anzu must have been concerned if she was using an honorific in reference to the blond. He casually petted his captive's hip even while tightening the hand at his throat just a little more, smirking internally at Yuugi's reaction.

Heh, Atemu and Yuugi are so easy to read, he mused to himself. Aloud he finally responded with, "Stay out of my way and I won't have to hurt him." Bakura couldn't resist mentally adding, That doesn't mean I won't hurt him, though; especially if neither the Pharaoh nor his light has staked a claim.

"...okay," Yuugi ground out, glaring at the thief king-or rather at the possessive hold he had on Jounouchi. "You win. For now."

"You've my eternal gratitude," Bakura purred, smirking at the group over Jounouchi's shoulder. "Now then, you go your way, and we'll" here he tightened his hold more, pleased to feel his captive finally succumb to unconsciousness "go mine." He laughed aloud as Honda physically held little Yuugi back, swinging up onto his horse easily in spite of Jounouchi's dead weight; either he was stronger than he'd realized or the blond weighed less than any of them suspected. Without even sparing the trio a backward glance Bakura turned and started back to his hidden encampment. He knew that they would never be able to keep up with him on foot, and even if they did track him they would be far too late to interfere with any of his plans.

"Mmm, soon," he murmured, pulling Jounouchi's limp form tightly against his own. "Soon, you'll be mine, miew, and only mine."

Miew: Egyptian for "cat." *grin* Leave it to Bakura to go against the crowd and use a different pet name than the one you'd expect.
