{3rd Person} The Only One He Loves - A Bakura Family Story

Chapter Three

"Divinity?" Marik knocked on her door "Your father and I aren't going to wait any longer for you. Come to dinner, now."

"But, MMMOOOMM," she wined, continuing her sketch "I'M BBBUUSSYYY!" After that incident with Yami a few days ago, Divinity has been attempting to draw his "other" self but ever time she put her pencil to the paper, she could only get down the obnoxious one who was too friendly. And if that wasn't enough, she couldn't get the purple eyes that had encountered her that one day coloured in. They looked all wrong with the little, fragile body of Yami.

"Divinity Amane Bakura," Marik scowled "Don't make me get your father."

"I'M NOT HUNGRY!" Divinity declared, looking back at her door to make sure the lock was holding strong.

'You really need to eat, Divinity' someone whispered, making her look around in shock.

"Who are you?" she demanded, getting off her bed and looking around, not seeing anyone.

'Akefia's worried about you, Divinity,' the voice informed 'He's going to break your door down and see all your pictures of the Pharaoh. That won't be good.'

"The Pharaoh?" Divinity mumbled "Who's he?"

'Go eat, Divinity,' the voice commanded 'I'll tell you when you come back.' She quickly put her sketches in a box under her bed marked "Other Yami" and then bolted out of her room and past the approaching Bakura.

After a silent and tense dinner, Divinity ran back to her room and locked the door behind her before whispering "Voice?"

'I have a name, you know,' it chuckled. She looked around and spotted Ryou sitting on her bed... Except he was all see through.

"Ryou?" she blinked "How'd you get in here?"

'It's a complicated story, Divinity,' Ryou insisted, calmly 'You see, me and Akefia's spirits are connect and, because part of you is us, so is yours.'

"Wa...?" she sought, not comprehending what it meant.

'I came in here with you, Divinity,' he chuckled 'But, we have to be careful. Akefia will be able to hear us if we aren't.'

"You said you'd tell me about some pharaoh," she reminded, moving on.

'Ah,' he nodded 'You call him "The Other Yami."'

"What do you know about him?" she hoped.

'He was a pharaoh in Ancient Egypt,' Ryou explained 'When I was in high school, my friend Yugi Moto completed his impossible puzzle and gained his dark magical powers. Akefia wanted to defeat the Pharaoh and get his revenge for something that happened to his family a long time ago.'

"So... This Pharaoh and Dad are... Enemies?" she clarified, freaking out.

'Well... Ya' Ryou nodded, like it was obvious.

"This is bad," she shook her head "This is really REALLY bad."

'Why?' Ryou demanded.

"Nevermind that right now," Divinity shook her head "I need to sneak out for a bit. Ryou? Go distract Dad for a bit."

'What are you planning, Divinity?' Ryou hesitated.

"I'm planning on getting save," she smirked.
