Secrets in Thebes- Egyptian Fugitives

Oh, yes, I'm in the middle of revamping this, so don't flame me for any inconsistencies you may see, but please tell me?

Names:

Khiseki- Yuugi Burkyna- OC

Atemu- Yami Makyra- OC

Khalid- Bakura

I'm sorry if the names confuse anyone, just please try to follow?

Khiseki glanced furtively across the corridor and beckoned to his older brother, Atemu. Together, they raced towards the other side of the hall, only to run into the solid wall of Atemu's tutor, Mahado.

"Now boys," he said in a deep baritone, "You shouldn't bail on your classes."

""We aren't, Master Mahado," Khiseki said bravely. When Mahado didn't reply, Atemu added, "Father gave us a rest day, sir."

Mahado merely sighed and said, Where exactly are you going, prince?"

"Khalid's," Atemu answered.

"Do you have your dagger?"

"Yes, Master Mahado."

"Fine. Go ahead. Good bye."

Half a candle-mark later, Khiseki and Atemu were seated on the fountain in the in the bazaar. Suddenly, Khiseki felt himself being pulled up by the roots of his multi-colored hair. He responded by leaning backwards, and there was a large splash as the thief allowed himself to fall in the fountain. When he emerged, his white hair was plastered to his skull and neck. Some of the women tittered, only to receive death glares from the pale teen, also known as Khalid, or The Thief King. The priestesses of law averted their eyes so they could safely say they had not seen the 'elusive' thief.

"Well," Khalid said gruffly, "Shall we proceed to my humble abode? I have another guest, but of course, royalties like yourselves can not wait."

"Is it Burkyna?" Khalid asked happily. He had taken a liking to Khalid's partner, and thought that Khalid and Burkyna made the most perfect match in the world. But he hadn't told anyone else that tidbit of information. (Well, except his kaa, but Kuribou can't talk.) Khalid stood, and they started towards Khalid's extensive home. It was a multi-tunneled labyrinth under the ground of the desert. He lived alone, but had any luxury you could get in the palace, except his were mainly stolen luxuries. He had inherited the place from his parents, after they had been killed that fateful night in Kura Eruna.

When they arrived, a black haired girl with green eyes named Burkyna was sitting quietly on the door, refusing to move, so Khiseki bowled over her, but she sent him flying into the remains of a house. Then Atemu tried to wrestle her off, but Khalid grabbed the handle and sent them to land next to Khiseki.

"Now that we've had our flying lessons, shall we go inside?" Khalid asked, every inch a ruffled host in the royal court. Slowly, the peculiar birds sat up and entered the mansion below. Before they entered, Burkyna asked, "Are we still set for tomorrow night?"

"Yes, Burkyna," he answered slowly.

"Then I'll be off," she said, and promptly left.

"What was that about?" Atemu asked suspiciously.

"A heist at the palace," Khalid smirked.

"Who should we avoid?" Atemu asked tiredly.

"Mahado, or what ever his name is that has the Sennen Ring."

"A Sennen Item!" Khiseki screamed.

"Isn't that going a bit to far?" Atemu asked quietly.

"It's fitting though, isn't it? They killed my family for them, so I get some of the magic?" he said smugly.

"Don't come visit us, thief, they can trace it," Atemu said sharply, "It's only going to be one, right?"

"Yes," Khalid said carefully, "And after I get it, I'll stop thieving altogether, okay?" 'Yeah, cause Burkky will do it for me!'

"I guess..."

Elsewhere

"So, Malik, where are we headed today?" a brown-and-red haired girl asked the blonde boy beside her.

"You should know, Makyra," Malik said, "You're the one who dragged me out of bed at first light!"

"Well, excuse me!" Makyra exclaimed, "You told me to come wake you up so we could explore after morning duties!"

Malik blinked and said, "Oh! Seto is at Isis' so we're visiting them!"

"Right. Why can't we visit at the palace, again?"

"Because students aren't allowed in the palace, Makyra. You should know."

"Malik! You promised! I'm Mak out here!"

"The guard might recognize you from your authorized lessons with Seto."

"Argh!"

For sometime, they treaded silently until they came to Isis', where Malik knocked three times. Seto appeared at the door quickly, snorting as he admitted them into her house.

"Who is it, Seto?" asked a voice from the back room.

"The ruffians, Isis."

There was a faint chuckle as Isis appeared, carrying a tray of desert fruits. Malik immediately relieved her of two of her fruits, tossing one to Makyra, or Mak off school grounds. Makyra caught it neatly and bit into the juicy food.

"Any reason you came, other than to mooch off me, of course?" Isis asked, watching Malik and Mak eat.

"Mmm...nope!" Malik replied happily. Seto snorted as Makyra tried to poke his hair, as she had an obsession with how it never moved.

"How I put up with you, I don't know..."

Later

"Hey Makyra! Are you busy tonight?" Khiseki asked his fellow student after class.

"I shouldn't be, why?" she said, glancing at Atemu. He smiled and said, "We got permission to leave with one guard, and Manna has classes, so we figured you'd like a vacation. Seto's going."

"Really? He hardly ever leaves."

"Actually, he isn't," Seto interrupted, having finished packing up, "He's going to help Mana with Kaa."

"Aww... rock-head! Have some fun for once!" Makyra whined. Seto rolled his eyes and said, "I don't think fun is exploring with the princes and a blunder head."

"You're just mad 'cause I beat you- oops!" she yelled and clapped her hands over her mouth.

"You beat Seto? At what?" Khiseki asked gleefully.

"Nothing! Never mind!" Makyra said quickly, "Where are we going tonight?"

By then, they had left Seto and were heading towards the gates.

"A friend's..."

Owari

Stupid Khalid muse didn't like my lack of description. Wouldn't let me finish the next chapter till I fixed it. Dumb muse...

Well! Who is this elusive friend? Find out next time on Yuyu.....Secrets In Thebes!
