Prolog

Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where it's flat and immense
And the heat is intense
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home

When the wind's from the east
And the sun's from the west
And the sand in the glass is right
Come on down
Stop on by
Hop a carpet and fly
To another Arabian night

Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
More often than not
Are hotter than hot
In a lot of good ways

Arabian nights
'Neath Arabian moons
A fool off his guard
Could fall and fall hard
Out there on the dunes

A man stood not far from a broken down stand, and pulled something out of his sleeve. "Do not be fooled by this common appearance, but like many things it is not what is outside but what is inside that counts." He opened the lid of the lamp and peered inside. A man standing in front of him began to walk away. "This is no ordinary lamp!" he shouted regaining the mans attention. "It once changed the course of a young man's life, a young man who like this lamp was more than he seemed, a diamond in the rough…..perhaps you would like to hear the tale?" The man nodded and the vendor poured what looked like glittery sand from the lamp and threw it up into the air, "It begins on a dark night…….where a dark man waits with a dark purpose…"

Out in the dark sand, stood a man, in dark clothing, with what looked like his daughter or assistant stood beside him, she had short brown hair with dark brown eyes that looked mischievous, and they appeared to be waiting for something. They sat upon a horse, and looked down menacingly at a squat little man who had just ridden up to them. "You…..are late," the man on the horse said in a low voice.

"A thousand apologies, oh patient one." The squat man said, with a bow.

"Do you have it?"

"I had to slit a few throats…..but yes, here it is," the little man, pulled out a small half of a golden scarab beetle, and the man on the horse snatched it from the small man.

"At last I have it," he raised the piece up, and one of his own and put them together. Suddenly the scarab flew off into the distance. "Quickly, follow it!!" They raced after it, when it suddenly crashed into a sand dune, where there appeared to be two glowing eyes. The sand started to shift, and transformed into a large tiger head. "The Cave of Wonders." he whispered, as it suddenly started to breathe.

"Who dares to disturb my sleep?" The large head said, in a low growl.

The squat man looked back at the man on the horse, who made shooing motions with his hand. He turned back to the large head, "I-It is I…..th-the humble thief Sasuke,"

The tiger gave Sasuke a calculating look. "Know this, only one may enter here, one who's worth lies far within, the diamond in the rough," the man and the girl looked at each other quizzically, then turned back.

"Remember, bring me the lamp, and the rest of the treasure is yours," the man shouted.

"Jeez, where'd you find him?" The girl asked quietly.

"Patience Nabiki," the man said, she rolled her eyes. Sasuke, took one step onto the first step, when nothing happened he sighed in relief.

Then without warning, the tiger let out a deafening roar. Then the sand began to collapse, and Sasuke gave a loud scream before being crushed by the sand. "Seek thee out, the diamond in the rough….in the rough," the voice of the tiger echoed.

"I can't believe this, I just can't!" Nabiki yelled in outrage. "We're never gonna get a hold on that lamp! Just forget it," she picked up the two pieces of the scarab, and bringing them back to the man, who was now standing in the sand.

"Calm down Nabiki, Sasuke was obviously unworthy,"

"Oh really?" Nabiki asked sarcastically, rolling her eyes. "That is such a surprise, you know I'm gonna have a heart attack and die from that surprise,"

"Always a negative Nellie," the man said.

"Genma, what are you planning?" Nabiki asked, as she eyed the gleam in his eye, with a smirk.

"Well, only one may enter," He said looking at Nabiki with an evil smile. "We must find this one, this diamond in the rough."

"And just how do you plan on doing that?" Nabiki asked.

"Just relax, and leave it to me," Genma said with another evil smile.
