Because I f***ing love Ouke No Monshou. I can't believe how few people even know of this series! (ok, so I do.) It's brilliant and I can so see the Yu Gi Oh cast messing up with something and ending up there! It would be so awesome!!! XXDDD

Summary:

Crossover with Ouke No Monshou. Yugi and the gang go to Egypt and are going back to the past to fix all the mistakes that had been made. Since neither Bakura nor Yami are sure how far back they're supposed to go they end up going 3,000 instead of the correct 5,000 and come across an… interesting situation.

Disclaimer: If I owned it I wouldn't have to make an AU out of this and neither series would be what they are. Hell, I'd never put in all the research for Ouke No Monshou.

//Yugi. Wake up Aibou. // Yugi felt a gentle nudging on his mind. "Five more minutes…" he mumbled and Yami chuckled at him. //Yugi, we're about to land. // Yugi's eyes shot open. They were about to land. They were about to get to Egypt. He would get to see the place where Yami had ruled. Where Bakura had stolen. Where everything began…

Yugi nudged Ryou awake next to him. "Kura…" he mumbled. Yugi just smiled at his friend. Ryou and Bakura had gotten together a few months ago and Yami and Yugi had followed their example.

"Ryou." Yugi said shaking his shoulder. "We're almost there. Wake up."

Ryou shot up. "We're almost there!?" He asked surprised. Yugi could see the same thoughts that had just gone through his mind flicker through Ryou's eyes before they clouded over. 'Bakura must have something to say.' Yugi figured and looked past Ryou to the window.

He could see Cairo coming into view and all the golden sands stretching out around it. The captain's voice came through the speakers a bit static-y saying "If you look out to your left you'll see the sphinx and the entrance to the royal palace."

Yugi immediately looked to his left out the other window but it was blocked by all the other passengers.

There were gasps of "Wow." and "Amazing!" coming from everyone. Yugi settled down though. It wasn't that important. After all, they were going back in time to when they were actually used. "I wonder what it'll be like…" Yugi wondered aloud.

Bakura snorted having taken over. "Over decorated and stuffy. That's what I remember of it. Plenty of stuff to steal though and lax security."

Yami came out in his spiritual form just as the sign to put your seatbelts came on. "I highly doubt that your opinion is anything to go by, thief."

Yugi back peddled trying to stop a fight. "We'll just see when we get there and we probably have different opinions." Yugi put on his seat belt as did Bakura before giving control back to Ryou. Bakura didn't trust planes and was very protective of Ryou.

Ryou sighed upon noticing this and rolled his eyes towards Yugi. Yamis were always overprotective.

They touched down and the captain's voice came on speaking in Japanese and then Arabic, both times saying the same thing. "It is currently 10:28 am in Cairo and 102 degrees Fahrenheit, 39 degrees Celsius."

"We're finally here." Yugi said and took a deep breath. Yami and Ryou nodded their assent and Yami disappeared back into the puzzle trying to keep the glowing to a minimum. Yugi and Ryou got off the plane and went straight to baggage claim. They didn't have any trouble finding it as they spoke Arabic fluently thanks to Malik having insisted. Not that it was hard; they already had ancient Egyptian and Japanese in their heads and they all had always been quite adept at picking up languages. They'd also learned French and English deciding that if they were to travel those would be the most important ones to know and they had started studying Spanish out of boredom.

They grabbed their bags when they were assaulted from behind. "Ryou! Yugi! How are you?" Malik called while jumping on them. Yugi and Ryou had stumbled forward and almost fallen into the baggage claim but Malik's strong arms wrapped around their necks held them back.

Yugi coughed before saying "Good. But it's a little hard to breath."

"Oh, sorry." Malik said taking a step back. Ryou and Yugi both rubbed their throats before turning around and looking at Malik. He was dressed in all red with a wrap around his waist and a red cloth across his shoulders hanging down on either side of his bare, well sculpted chest. Ryou's eyes nearly bugged out of his sockets upon seeing this. This was more skin then he'd shown in Battle city!

Ryou's eyes clouded over for a moment as he talked to Bakura before saying "Bakura says you copied his look. Except that his wrap was purple instead of red."

Malik laughed. "Sorry, but I've been wearing this around Egypt lately and don't plan to stop. Come on, we're going straight to Dynasty Valley." Malik just barely gave them time to grab their bags before dragging them off to a proper car and hopping in the driver's seat. "Let's go!" he called merrily.

Ryou and Yugi exchanged a glance but simply put their bags in the back of the jeep and got in behind Malik. He took off immediately calling over his shoulder "Isis and Rishid are already there and we're going to be looking at a dig site headed by this American guy Rodei. There's not a huge chance that it would be Yami's tomb they find but it's the closest to finding a new tomb that anyone's been in a while." Malik said explaining where they were going.

"Ok!" Yugi called over the noise of the jeep before going quiet for a while. "Yami doesn't expect his tomb to be found that easily!"

No one said anything all in agreement. His tomb was meant to be lost along with his name and anything pertaining to him. His history was meant to be lost.

They were passed by a huge bus of noisy people and Yugi asked "What's that about?"

"I don't know." Malik replied and they continued in silence to the dig site.

Upon approaching, they noticed that the bus was parked outside and that there was a line of people entering. An old man, a teenage boy with black hair and a teenage girl with gold hair were at the lead followed by the usual assortment of workers, exhibition leaders, and apparently, tourists? They all looked at each other confused. Tourists weren't ever supposed to go into the tombs.

"Isis!" Malik called out upon locating his sister and jumping out of the jeep. Yugi and Ryou followed.

"Ryou, my Pharaoh." Isis bowed.

Yugi frowned at the title. "I'm not a pharaoh, never was, and Yami isn't a pharaoh anymore. Please stop calling us that."

"Once a pharaoh, always a pharaoh." Isis said sounding all misty.

"Isis." Malik said drawing her attention to him. "What's the deal with the tourists going into the tomb?"

"One of them is Professor Brown from the university, the girl was Carol, the daughter of the person funding our excavation and she is extremely interested in archeology. The young man was Jimi I believe; he and Carol are almost never seen apart."

"Rodei-san refused to go in before he went to get Carol. She had been on a summer class field trip and they rushed here bringing the rest of the class with them." Isis explained to them.

"That was through." Malik said clearly annoyed at the long explanation.

"So when does this tomb date back to?" Ryou asked ignoring Malik's comment.

"We're speculating 3,000 years." Yugi and Ryou exchanged glances. 3,000 years was within the time they were looking at. Neither Bakura nor Yami knew how long they'd been in the Millennium Items as keeping track of the days back then was not as well tracked as it is now.

"Let's go check it out." Yugi said before heading to the entrance.

After going down a long set of stairs and a few passageways Bakura interrupted their silent progress after taking an incorporeal body. "This definitely isn't it. The way tombs were made back then was way more intricate. This is a completely different style."

"Well we weren't exactly expecting it to be." Yami said coming out of the puzzle as well. "It's not going to be 'presto' and find my tomb."

Bakura snorted before pulling something on the wall. "What'd you do Tomb Robber?" Yami asked angrily. The ground started shaking after that and Yami just glared angrily. Isis, being the only one there who couldn't see the spirits was very surprised at this. 'Did one of us step on a trap?' she thought desperately as she leaned against the wall trying to steady herself.

Suddenly the floor dropped out from beneath them but they were saved by landing on a pile of sand. "What the fuck was that you stupid tomb robber!?" Malik yelled as he got to his feet.

"Shh." Bakura whispered as he put his ear against a wall. Malik huffed at having been ignored. Both Yamis had taken control and made sure that their hikaris landed safely. "There are people on the other side of this wall." He said.

"Then what are we doing standing around? Break the wall down." Malik said simply.

Bakura glared at Malik for a moment before continuing. "We're on the other side of a wall to the burial room. We can't just knock it down."

Bakura banged on the side of the wall but not hard enough to break it down. "Oy! Can anyone there here us!?"

Malik joined in thrumping a bit harder against the wall. "Hey! We're stuck behind the wall here! Get us out!"

Yami however, instead of joining the pounding and yelling, was feeling along the wall. Finding what he was looking for he gave a slight twist to a small lever that would have been invisible even if the room was very well lit. The wall suddenly scraped forward causing Bakura and Malik to fall and the people on the other side of the door to all gasp and one girl to scream out "Aaahh! Jimi save me!"

"Fuck! Yami what the fuck was that for!?" Bakura called out angrily springing to his feet.

"Well I found us a way out." Yami said shrugging.

"How'd you even know that that was there?" Malik said narrowing his eyes suspiciously as he got to his feet.

"I didn't. It was more like a feeling…" Yami explained as best as he could. "Maybe it's something about just being in Egypt." Yami shrugged.

"Who are you people!? Where did you come from!?" One of the excavationists called.

Isis stepped forward to take care of it. "It's me. This is my brother Malik and his friends Yugi and Ryou who have just arrived from Japan."

"Isis." The man said in relief. "How did you end up on the side of the wall?"

"We were walking when part of the stairs fell out from underneath us. What about you?"

"We got trapped in a room and the ground fell out underneath us as well." The man frowned. "It appears getting out is going to be quite an adventure of it's own." and laughed jovially trying to lighten the mood.

"What's going on?" a golden haired girl called out from the arms of a black haired boy.

"This is Miss Isis, an official from the government and her brother and his friends from Japan." He explained to the young girl.

"We sincerely apologize for scaring you." Ryou said bowing in the style of the Japanese.

There seemed to be a moment of silence as everyone really looked at the new comers; they weren't exactly normal to look at.

~At the College~

There was a big hype about the find of the currently nameless pharaoh. They hadn't found his name in the books and hadn't located it yet within the tomb or on the sarcophagus. They were all gathering around a tablet that had been found in the tomb when a knock came on the door. "Come in" Professor Brown called. "Ah, Mr. Bakura. How are you?" he asked happily upon seeing who was there.

"I'm doing well. My son Ryou is here along with his friend Yugi. Yugi's grandfather was an archeologist in his own age." Mr. Bakura said as he came into the room with a white haired boy and tri colored haired boy following him.

"You're the boys from the tomb!" Carol called out upon recognizing them (not like that was hard *rolls eyes*). Mr. Bakura gave Ryou a look that clearly said 'We're talking about this later.' before turning back to them. Carol thought that she saw Ryou's eyes turn red and murderous for a moment before she blinked and he was back to normal. 'Strange…' Carol thought wondering if she'd gotten a bit much sun that day.

Ryou had a blush on his face from having been caught when suddenly a door across the room from them burst open and a blonde haired Egyptian came running in yelling "Hide me!"

"What'd you do now?" 'Ryou' asked in a very un-Ryou like tone of voice.

"I accidentally broke one of the pots in another room when Isis had her back turned." Malik explained no one understanding him but Yugi, Ryou and Mr. Bakura.

An angry call of "Malik!" came down the hall before fading away apparently the searcher having gone in another direction.

Malik breathed a sigh of relief while Yugi gave a sigh of exasperation. "You really should just stay out of her way in the first place Malik."

"That's no fun." Malik said sticking his tongue out childishly and glancing around the room. "So what are you all doing?" he said switching to English.

"We were just looking at this tablet we found in the tomb." Professor Brown explained nonplused about him having been previously speaking in Arabic.

"Let me see it." Malik said reaching out for the tablet. Malik's eyes widened as he looked over it before he said in a worried voice, "Yugi! Ryou! You better take a look at this." in a different language from before.

Yugi and Ryou both rushed over eyes widening as they read over Malik's shoulders. "This is bad." Yami said taking control from Yugi as Yugi made a spiritual body. Bakura did the same next to Ryou.

"Way to be observant." Bakura sneered.

"Shut up." Ryou said. "The biggest question here is what is this strange power coming off the tablet. I though Yami sealed all the magic."

"I did." Yami answered.

"Then how do you explain this!?" Malik said shaking the tablet.

"I don't." Yami said.

"Real smart pharaoh." Bakura snorted before disappearing back into the ring.

Yami frowned at the spot Bakura had been before releasing control back to Yugi who stumbled a bit at suddenly being tossed back into his body.

"Aah! There's a cold breeze just passing by! Did you feel it Jimi?" Carol asked and the three boys looked towards her only to have the tablet suddenly drop."Noo!" all three boys yelled as they all tried to catch the tablet but ended up getting in each other's way instead.

~At Mr. Bakura's residence~

"Ryou, what was that earlier about you being in the tomb?" Mr. Bakura asked.

Ryou flinched slightly. He hadn't seen his dad in so long and he didn't want to disappoint his father but he couldn't tell the truth either. "When Malik picked us up from the airport he took Yugi and I to the dig site but as we were going in a portion of the stairs gave out underneath us and we ended up in the main part of the tomb." Ryou said truthfully.

"Oh?" Ryou's dad raised a skeptical eyebrow. "And why was Malik going there in the first place?"

Ryou gulped. This was getting into dangerous territory. "Malik's sister Isis was working on the dig and said that we could go in."

"Isis? Isis Ishtar?" Mr. Bakura asked interestedly. Ryou nodded his head. "Miss Ishtar had been a huge help to cataloguing and translating many of the artifacts. Would Malik be the troublesome little brother who she says is even better at translations than her?"

This was news to Ryou but not by much. Isis had been banned from learning since she was a girl so she'd only learned a bit while Malik could read fluently. Ryou nodded his head in assent. "Hmm… I didn't know you knew the Ishtars."

"They participated in the duel monsters tournament and were in the finals along with me and Yugi." Ryou explained. He hadn't lied to his father yet, just deleted almost all of the truth. Bakura rolled his eyes from the back of their mind. //Yes, you're telling your father everything except how Malik tried to take over the world along with his dark side and how you almost died several times during that tournament. //

/Shut up. I only learned about any of this afterwards. / Ryou said unhappily.

"That silly card game? Why on earth would they play that?" Mr. Bakura said obviously taken aback at the circumstances under which they met.

"It's a very fun and challenging game." Ryou defended duel monsters.

"It's childish and boring." Ryou's father started.

//Boring? How many minds have been destroyed because of that game? // Bakura said sticking in his own comments.

"Not to mention how this whole craze is completely out of control in Japan. Maybe I should have sent you to some other country."

Ryou looked up from the patch of floor he'd been studying, shocked. "No, father. I really love Japan and I have so many great friends there."

//You have the chibi-pharaoh. //

"I'm already settled into school and doing really well."

//Calm down Yandonoushi; he never said he would move you now. //

"And… and…" Ryou said running out of steam as his yami explained that. "I just really like Japan." He mumbled looking at the floor.

Mr. Bakura frowned at his son. "I'm not going to move you now but I'm thinking I probably should have moved you to the U.S. or Canada in the first place."

There was a pause of pregnant silence while it set in on both sides what had been said. //Aren't both of those places farther from Egypt and your father? // Bakura commented but Ryou didn't reply except for his shoulders slumping a little more.

Eventually Ryou's father decided the conversation was over and coughed. "Yes, well. I still have some work to do. I'll see you later Ryou." and turned back to his work.

Ryou stood still for a moment before he went to the door pausing for a moment to say "It was nice to see you, Dad." in a whisper before he quickly closed the door behind him to fast to hear his father whisper, "It was nice to see you to, Son."

~Ryou's room~

Ryou had grabbed a pillow and started crying while his yami had started stroking his back trying to calm him down. "I didn't want to make my dad upset." He eventually sniffed out stopping his tears.

"You didn't make him upset; you just proved how bad of a father he is."

"What do you mean?" Ryou said sitting up and glaring over his shoulder at Bakura.

Bakura stood up and started walking around to the other side of the bed. "He never cared about any of the times I put you in the hospital or all the comas either. It's just when one of his colleagues points something out that he talks to you about it."

Ryou frowned and turned towards the right following his yami and leaning on the headboard still holding the tear stained pillow to his chest. "He cares. He just never heard about any of that stuff."

"Oh really?" Bakura asked holing out a pack of letters from behind his back.

"Where'd you get those?" Ryou frowned as he took the letters.

Bakura shrugged. "I took them out of your father's desk earlier right after we got home."

Ryou looked through the letters opening a couple of them up.

Dear Mr. Bakura,

We at Domino central hospital are concerned about your son's health. He has been in and out of here several times throughout the last 6 months for various stab wounds, cuts, and other injuries. We are concerned that he is participating in dangerous activities and want you to talk to your son about this.

Thank you,

Nurse Midori Ichigo

"Oh." Ryou said as he read it over again. Bakura sat down next to him and slung his arm over Ryou's shoulder pulling him closer.

"You're father never opened it."

"He's just really busy with his work." Ryou said trying to make an excuse.

"It's mail marked 'URGENT'." Bakura pointed out showing Ryou the front of the envelope.

"Then he put it aside to read later and forgot about it."

"Ryou," Bakura tossed the envelope aside and pulled Ryou close. "I know you don't want to admit it but your father doesn't care."

"But-" Ryou started before Bakura's finger against his lips silenced him.

Ryou sighed and leaned completely into Bakura's chest. "I just wish I could at least pretend he cared." And with that he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep unaware that his father had just stopped outside of the door going to talk to him again.

~Morning: Main Room~

Isis Ishtar stood in the front room of Mr. Bakura's residence waiting for Malik to go get Ryou and Yugi.

"What is it Isis?" Yugi called as he rushed through the hallway with Malik and Ryou behind him.

"Someone has stolen the body of the Pharaoh we discovered yesterday."

"That's horrible." Yugi gasped out.

Malik had gone ahead and called through the door "Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Everyone promptly went through the door and Malik drove them to the valley.

~Dynasty Valley~

They were there before the people from the university so Bakura, Yami and Malik volunteered to go down first and left before anyone could protest.

As they went down they came across the corpse of one of the night security guards. Bakura knelt down and examined the corpse. "Magic." He finally determined.

"How is that possible?" Malik asked.

"I don't know. I just know what can kill people in these tombs and this was not any of the usual traps."

"Let's continue. The hole should be right around here and we can head straight down to the tomb from there." Yami said and everyone nodded.

They went through the hole and all landed safely and Yami once again found the switch to open the door when a cry of "Someone's been murdered!" came from above.

"It's that annoying girl again." Bakura said annoyed at all the incessant screaming that would now ensue.

Bakura and Malik went straight into the tomb but Yami paused and turned around. "What now Pharaoh?" Bakura said turning around but stopped when he saw why Yami hadn't come. There was a female's coffin in the room.

"Is it his wife?" Malik asked.

"No." Bakura said looking around the chamber. "It's his sister."

"That doesn't exclude her from having been his wife." Malik said logically all of them ignoring all the screaming going on above them.

Suddenly they heard some sniffling coming from the next room and they went silent. "Where am I? How come it's so quiet?" Carol's voice called out.

"You're inside the tomb." Bakura called out trying to shut the girl up.

"What!? I've fallen inside the tomb!?" Carol called out scared. "Jimi! Jimi where are you?" she called starting to run along the wall looking for this 'Jimi' who wasn't here.

Suddenly she stopped. "Ah, the eyes on the wall are staring at me!" Yami, Bakura and Malik exchanged glances. Why was this magic targeting Carol? "Help me!" she called out before they lost her voice.

They all glanced at each other. Why would the magic target Carol let alone kidnap her? /Can we follow this magic? / Yugi asked Yami from the back of their shared mind.

//I don't know Aibou. But this magic is not harmful in nature like shadow magic. // Yami said trying to comfort a distraught Yugi.

"The magic is moving." Malik stated before they all started heading towards another room that looked like a sacrifice chamber. When they arrived they felt the magic in the room shift and bow down to their presence.

"About time." Bakura said before the magic on the altar shifted for a moment making it invisible before moving again and revealing Carol. Yugi took over his body Yami satisfied that he wasn't in any danger and ran over to the altar.

"Carol? Carol are you ok?" Yugi shook her shoulders gently attempting to wake her up. He gasped as he saw some blood on the front of her shirt. "Carol!?" he called again worried.

Suddenly cries of "Carol where are you?" and "Say something Carol!" came down the passageway. Bakura gave control back to Ryou knowing he'd be safe now and not wanting to deal with a whole bunch of idiots. Yugi, Ryou, and Malik took a few steps back from the altar and hid against a back wall.

Yeah, I suck. And totally rewrote everything in the tomb (second time in the tomb). They are not going to Ancient Egypt quite yet. Maybe next chappie. I'll see how it falls. Sorry that this is such a pain. T^T But I wanted to write it my way and the story was just trying to die on me there.

I will find a way to bring Marik in by request so expect him to pop up at any moment! I don't know where I'll stick him in yet! And yeah… Sorry about the HUGE edit! And all words are in the correct italics, bold, and underlined. I went through it about 6 times just to check it so don't say I got something wrong! It's how I want it!
