Yami Bakura x Reader - Arabian Nights Part 5

(Name) left her room, singing to herself. She was so happy ... the one she cherished so was alive and well. She sighed longingly as she re-entered the throne room. Her father looked at her with a sinister frown
"Where's Bakura?" She asked
"He left ... or so Kaiba says. That boy seems ... troubled. Where did you meet him?" He asked
(Name) explained what happened on the day of the market, and told him about Kaiba's cruel lie. She still didn't know why he had lied to her, but it hurt all the same
"I'm sorry father ... I shouldn't have run away ... but, then I wouldn't have met Bakura. Father, I ... I think he likes me!" She said, excited
He stared at her for a moment and smiled
"Well then, I'm happy for you" He said
Suddenly, Bakura came into the room. He was soaking wet
"Bakura!" She breathed
"That ... was horrible" He hissed "I hate that human being!"
He looked at her and sighed. She rushed over to him
"Bakura, what happened?" She asked
"That ... Kaiba guy tried to have me killed!" He replied
She gasped and the Pharaoh looked shocked
"Why would he do that?" He asked
"I don't know, but he did" Bakura said
"Well, we'll get you dried off ..." (Name) said, smiling

A few hours later, Bakura was dry and he was showing the lamp to (Name)
"There's really a genie in here?" She asked
"Yes ... I wouldn't have believed it either ... but I swear ... it's the truth" He said
She smiled
"I believe you, but I think it's weird that someone engraved "Rub Me" on it" She chuckled
He smiled
"I ... I really like you, Bakura" She said, smiling
"Y-you do?"
She nodded
"I've ... never felt this way about anyone ..." She said, blushing
"What do you mean?" He asked
"F-forget it ..." She mumbled, blushing
Suddenly, The Pharaoh appeared in the doorway
"(Name), I think he needs to be going home now, don't you?" He said
"But-"
"Don't worry, (Name). I'll be alright" Bakura said

-Meanwhile-

Kaiba entered his home, furious
"I can't believe he avoided death again!" He said angrily
His little brother rushed up to him
"What's wrong, big brother?"
"Mokuba, I need you to do me a favour"
"Like what?"
"There's a man at the palace ... his name is Bakura. He carries a small lamp in his pocket. That's the only logical way he could have gotten away yet again ..."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Take it from him ... and bring it to me"
