NOTES AND WARNINGS!
The note isunlike my other fic, i will only be updating this every other day. so only on Tuesdays Thursdays, and then both weekend days.(i have enough free time then). so look for it on those days.
The warning is that this fic is rated T for a reason. in later chapters there is indication of rape, sexual harassment and other things. As well as language and violence of course. I thought to warn you now. I will be posting warnings for which chapters have the sexual content just in case you wish to skip it. All in all i still kept it within the teen rating so it's not that bad. ok? ok then.
A violet eyed girl looked out at the city before her. Her ebony colored hair reached almost to her shoulders. A white priestess dress adorned her body as well as golden wraps around her arms that went up to her elbows. A cool breeze past by, making her smile. Night would be soon upon them. The time when they could take a break from the scorching desert heat.
"Hotaru. The others have arrived." said at woman at the door way. Hotaru smiled and walked over to her.
"Did Marik come Isis?" she asked. The woman nodded her head and the two went down the stairs of the temple they lived in.
Hotaru sighed as they went. It had only been five years now that she had began to live here. Her twin brother, Tenshi, also used to live here. However just last year he left to become one of the Pharaoh's guards. Hotaru was to stay and become a priestess for the temple of the Goddess Isis. She rarely got to see her brother now, but she still had Isis and Marik. Those two acted like her siblings and she loved them as if they were.
Finally the two reached the steps outside and saw a group of people ride in on their horses. They wore purple cloaks to indicate their profession as Tomb Keepers. One dismounted and quickly rushed over to them, followed by another. Hotaru found herself caught in a huge bear hug. When the man's hood fell off she found it was Marik.
"Marik! I'm so happy to see you!"she cried as she hugged him back. He set her down and the other man hugged her gently. This was Rishid, Marik's guardian so to speak. He acted more like a father to them though. "You too Rishid!"
"We're happy to see you as well Hotaru, Isis." he said kindly.
Marik smiled at the two girls. "So how have you been? Are you staying out of trouble?" he seemed to be directing that question to Hotaru. She smiled sheepishly.
"Of course I have." Isis knocked her gently on the head.
"Oh really? Then who was it that I caught sleeping when they should have been preparing the offering for yesterday?" the two boys smirked as Hotaru blushed and scratched the back of her head.
That was just like her. Ever since Tenshi left, Hotaru seemed to get more out of control. She would go off daydreaming during prayer, or sleep when she was supposed to clean or prepare something. She did these things even when he was there, but not as often. For most of that time she had to make sure he didn't do anything stupid, which was what her brother did best. It was just the way the twins were.
The group decided to go inside so they could have supper. They mostly discussed the Pharaoh's up coming marriage, and what news they had picked up from the cities. The violet eyed girl did her best to pay attention, but the conversation was so boring. It was Marik who saw her begin to nod off and elbowed her gently in the side.
"Tired?" he asked smirking. She stuck her tongue out at him, but nodded. "Well then why don't you go to bed? I can tell you a bedtime story."
She glared at him. "Aren't I a little old for stories?"
"Fine...but I have such a good one about Bakura." he whispered.
Hotaru immediately perked up. She loved hearing stories about the legendary Thief King. Marik smiled when he saw her change in attitude. They both excused themselves and went up to Hotaru's room. The girl quickly jumped onto her bed and grabbed a pillow she could hug and rest her head on. Marik lay at the edge of the bed with his head in his hands.
Hotaru grew impatient. "Well are you going to tell the story or not?"
"Alright, alright. Lets see where to begin?" he thought for a moment. "It was just last summer when Egypt was at it's hottest. The tomb of Pharaoh Horemheb was as silent as the night. The place was empty of life, except for the snakes and rats. However one other soul soon ventured in. It was Bakura. Skillfully he managed to sneak around the traps the Tomb Builders had made."
Marik continued on with the story as Hotaru listened. Marik always told the best stories. Either they were of the tomb's secrets, the Pharaoh's that once lived, or her favorite, the Thief King Bakura. Living mostly within the temple she rarely got to go out and here of such things. So it was always a treat when Marik was able to leave the tomb he protected to visit them.
The Tomb Keeper was nearly finished with it when Isis came into the room. Unlike her brother she disapproved of such stories. Especially the ones with Bakura in them. She glared at the two who gulped. Marik got off the bed.
"Well night Hotaru." he said, wanting to get out of there. Hotaru glared at him.
"Coward." she muttered under her breath. Then said a more clear. "Good night." to him. Quickly he left the room. The girl looked up at a still angry Isis.
"Hotaru how many times have I told you? You are not to ask Marik to tell you any more stories about Bakura." she said sternly.
Hotaru rolled her eyes. "But Isis, he's just a myth. I know there's no such thing as the King of Thieves." Isis faltered a little. So Marik had still not yet told her the truth. Well in a way that was a good thing. With a sigh she helped Hotaru under the covers then sat on the bed next to her.
"Hotaru you are soon to become a priestess. When that time comes you will need to step up and take responsibilities. Not for only yourself, but for others. These stories have nothing to do with your destiny. So please stop with them."
Hotaru sighed and nodded. Isis gave her a smile then kissed the top of her head before leaving the room. The violet eyed girl just stared out of her window. The moon was nearly full. It reminded her of the time before she came to this place. A time where she wasn't much different from a thief.
