All right people this is my first Yu-gi-oh story and third ongoing story so if you like it sorry if the updates don't come quick, college also plays a factor here. There will be some boy on boy action but it's not the main focus. Don't like don't read but if you complain about it, it will be treated as white noise. And for people who don't know Marik is the evil one and Malik is the good one. Also I haven't seen this show in forever so if I get any of the info wrong that I didn't purposely alter please forgive me. I think that's it, enjoy.

"italics" dreams, past, memories.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the oc's Yu-gi-oh is not mine.

Now on to the story.

Chapter 1: New Beginnings In The Past And Present

She peeked out of the dilapidated building, scanning the area for anyone that might have seen her entering her sanctuary. After determining that the desert was clear of all life she turned back to her gust.

She found him while out searching for food, water, and healing plants. He was passed out next to a secluded oasis that she found. He was unconscious and terribly hurt when she found him half submerged in the clear water. Readjusting her bag she grabbed one of his arms and swung it over her shoulder and started the long trek home. Jazul and Maka would not be happy with her bring another stranger home as they had to move after sending the poor souls off, but she couldn't just leave someone in need, especially when they lived so far away from any civilization. She also doubted anyone would help her current find considering the fact that it was The Thief King Bakura that everyone through out Egypt was looking for. The Pharaoh had a nice reward out on his head for anyone who can bring him in alive.

Shaking her head she couldn't help think that her brother was quit foolish and was yet again glad that she had run away from home. She hated being locked away every day until night came. She thought her brother would have fixed their fathers foolishness, but he never did. She still loved her brother dearly but she couldn't stand being caged like an animal only ever being aloud out at night when the light from the sun had finally left the sky. All that frustration just because of her looks. She had skin as pale as the moon and expressive grey eyes, not to mention her tri colored hair of silver, blue and lilac. She actually can't say that any more as for some reason her hair has leveled out. It was now a bluish silver color with a lilac sheen in certain lighting.

It doesn't matter; she still despises her looks as they mark her as a child of the moon within the royal family. If she had been a normal child of the sun she wouldn't have been taken away from her brother at the age of six and she cursed Khonsu* for blessing her then playing with her. She would not be a plaything of the gods and now she lives in the desert just to get some freedom.

Looking down she realizes that while she was off in her head ranting again she had finished patching up the thief and was back to doing nothing until her companions arrived back from their given duties. They had insisted on following her and she could do nothing to stop them, not like she tried that hard though, she thought that it would be nice to have some one to talk equally with. Unfortunately they still thought of her as the princess and she was still as alone as ever, the only difference being her freedom.

Just then she was pulled out of her thoughts by the door moving and Jazul and Maka came in.

"Were back my lady with some moon plums for you to feast upon." Jazul stated not looking up from where he was unpacking his bag.

"Jazul, you know I don't like those."

"But you must keep up with nourishing you body will all that Khonsu provides." Maka states unpacking her own bag.

A groan from her patient causes her two companions to freeze and alerts them to the presents of some one else in the shelter. Rolling her eyes the pale maiden pulled the covers over the thief.

"You know you call me careless but at least I cheek the area I'm in before I relax, even a supposedly secure area like this.

"Your highness you can't keep bringing people into your circle whenever you please. You have a family line to honor."

Maka gasped as she saw who the person was. "Jazul its worse then you think. She brought Bakura here and has patched up his wounds."

Jazul gaped in horror as he took in that info. Then a stormy look crossed his face. "That's it princess I insist that we go home. You have had enough time to get acting like a peasant out of your system and I'm sure your brother is terribly worried about you. We understand that it has been hard on you staying in the castle after your father died but enough is enough."

She looked at them in disbelief, all this time she thought she was free but they just temporarily loosened her leash thinking she wasn't serious. Well she would show them. "You get mad at me for helping people in need and think I ran away for fun. You stupid ass. Well I'll tell you one thing, your not getting me back home with out a full legion of guards dragging me back kicking and screaming."

Both servants gaped at her outburst. "My lady you should never use such foul language. It is beneath your high standing to ever have to use that language. Why speaking thus someone might not realize what a delicate person you are and might hurt you in you week state. Your condition is delicate and we only want to see you safe."

That did it, she was sick and tiered of everyone thinking she was some week little twit that would faint at the sight of a spider. She was also tiered of people thinking that she was glass and she was going to let these imbeciles know that.

"That's it I had it with you two. Why is it that everyone thinks I'm more fragile then tissue paper*, even flowers don't get treated like me. I'm stronger in will and body then you give me credit you assholes, and yes I called you an asshole, you got a problem with it, tough because this is me as much as every other part of me is. I'm done putting up with this shit and that's why I left home not because I wanted to try my hand at acting a different. Now leave before I send you somewhere you wont like and don't come back."

By the end of her rant she was panting hard and was breathless. She was also a little dizzy but that would pass in a moment once her blood stopped racing and she got enough oxygen through her system. 'Note to self breath next time I go into a rant.' She thought as she watched Jazul and Maka. They looked frightened of her as they should. Her brother wasn't the only one who could control shadow magic and she would send them to the shadow realms if they did indeed pissed her off enough.

"But my lady-"Jazul started but was cut off by the princess.

"No buts I said leave. NOW!" With that the both took off out the door and most likely back home.

After they were out of sight she let out a long suffering sigh as she realized what this meant for her. She was going to have to find a new living space because she knew that as soon as they got back to the palace her brother would send troops out here for her. Oh poo, she really liked this place too. Oh well looks like she would have to find a new home again.

Turning around she went to get a banana out of her stash and caught sight of the bowl full of bloody water. Smile slightly she picked it up and went outside to dump it. There was no way she was going to start her search for a new home until her patient was better. She would not leave him to the guards to drag back to the palace especially sense it would be her fault that her was found. Unlike her brother she had no reason to fear this man and even if he did her wrong she wasn't someone to wish ill on her enemies and punish them. The few times she did punish someone she regretted it latter.

Walking back in she was startled to see her patient sitting up and glaring at her.

"I thought those two windbags would never but I'm curious as to why you're here. Little girls like you should be at home safe and sound. Especially noble brats." He sneered as he tried to stand up.

That got her pissed again. Walking over she pushed at his shoulder knocking him down onto his back. Scowling down at him, she grabbed one of the bandages tightening it non to gently as she watched him wince in pain. "I would think you grateful as I could have easily left you in the water to drown or bleed out. Just so you know once your healed I'm leaving to find a new home and if you want to stay and face guards you can but don't compare me to those noble twits."

Walking away she got some food out to eat while he glared at her. "Like you could survive without your servants out here with you, you should have just gone home with them."

Not looking up at him she took her dagger and threw it at him. He jumped when he saw it coming at him but realized that her aim was way off. Still not taking his eyes off her he smirked at her as she continued to cut up some cheese and other foods.

"Was that suppose to scare me because it didn't work, your aim was way off."

Grabbing both plates she walked over. "Who said I was aiming at you?" She stated as she sat down placing his plate on the ground next to him and her dagger. He reached for his plate getting ready to ask what else could she be aiming when the words died in his throat. He froze staring wide eyed at the dagger imbedded in the head of a cobra that was right next to his hand.

She chuckled as she saw his awed expression. "Still Think I'm a typical noble twit Bakura?"

He looked back up at her regaining his confident smirk. "Well you seem to have me at a disadvantage. May I inquire as to the name of my intriguing nursemaid?"

Grinning at him she held out her hand to shake his. "I'm called Kani—"

"KANIKA*."

Jumping up she quickly looked around assessing the situation. She saw the full moon streaming through the window lighting up the disaster of a room. Cloths were strewn everywhere and the walls were covered in metal band posters. In one corner was a relatively clean desk with papers arranged on it and a computer softly glowing lighting up the room even more.

Looking towards her left she saw a boy kneeling on the bed beside her. He had strange purplish white hair with a bluish sheen to it and a deep tan covered his well built body. His hair was long for a boy and was pulled back into a ponytail like hers, but where hers went to just above her shoulders his was I little rats tail. He was about two feet taller then her much to her displeasure but he was a good guy even if no one but her and his sister knew that considering the bad boy act he always used.

He also wore a very feminine item around his neck. It was a choker that was made with a blue silk ribbon that clasped in the back and a silver crescent moon in the front with the symbol of Khonsu* in graved in the surface. She was grateful when his sister had finally convinced him to put it on, otherwise she would still be in there. His sister wore it many times before but she wasn't her chosen vessel for this new world, but she would have preferred her to being stuck in a guy's body. That was just, yuck, until she figured out how to materialize outside of it and watch from the sidelines. She was even happier to find she could make her body solid and visible as long as she stayed within a certain rang of him.

Taking a second look at him she didn't see the punk attitude look on his face or the friendly brotherly one he showed her and his sister. He actually looked scared and worried about something.

"Justin what's wrong, what happened?" she gently asked as she put a hand on his shoulder.

"Jaz is gone." He said looking so forlorn and lost.

"What do you mean Jasmine is gone? You were just downstairs celebrating her birthday with your parents and her friends. I even gave her my gift before you two went down so your parents wouldn't find out about me. So how can she be gone?"

"Mom gave her a chain belt with two eyes dangling off of each end. As soon as she put it on she passed out. Everyone panicked until she recovered but there was something wrong with her. Her eyes were cold and mad looking and she smiled maliciously, before anyone knew it she was wiping the chain at people and as soon as it wrapped around someone they started screaming until they dropped dead. When she thought she got everyone she ran from the house, I tried to follow but she disappeared. Kanika that wasn't my sister. I think she is being possessed because the eyes on it looked a lot like the eyes on those items you keep researching at my desk. Please you got to help her."

Justin's speech shocked me not only was my friend distraught but his sister was possessed by Luzige*. Why would that bastered want Jasmine? Quickly getting up she grabbed a bag and threw some papers in it along with Justin's favorite cloths, them she walked out of the room and grabbed some food and the secret stash of money that she knew his parents had just in case of emergencies.

"What are you doing?" He demanded as he followed her around the house.

"Packing. Where going to Japan."

"Why? What about my sister Kanika? We can't just leave her."

"Justin the only way we are going to be able to save your sister is in Japan. Now shut up and change into some good cloths and grab your passport because we need to get on the nearest plane possible."

"Oh…you do know I can't speak Japanese."

"Just leave that to me and get a ticket to Egypt."

"But I thought we were going to Japan?"

"We are but I need to get something from there first ok."

"Fine, whatever, but you are going to explain what's going on when we get there, got it." He huffed as he picked up the phone to buy a ticket carefully avoiding the dining room.

"Yes Justin, I will." She promised as she walked into the dining room to get rid of some unpleasant things. Calling up the shadows she thought about what was finally going into motion. After 5000 years everything was finally either going to be fixed or the world was going to be destroyed. After she was done she went back into the choker until they arrived at their destination. She just hoped Justine wouldn't blow a gasket when he found out what was happening.

That's it for chapter one. Dame this is the longest chapter I have ever wrote period. Well anyways I'm sure you are wondering what was with all the * well they are things I wanted to explain.

First Khonsu is the actual Egyptian god of the moon. Yes I did research for this story, not much outside of Yu-gi-oh but I did.

Second not sure if they had tissue paper back then but I couldn't think of anything else to compare to.

Third Kanika is actual Egyptian for Black (yes more research)

Forth I'm not good with describing preexisting symbols so if you want to see the symbol of Khonsu I will have a link on my profile as soon as I figure out how. Yes it's the actual symbol of this guy.

And finally fifth Luzige means Locust in Egyptian. Last of the out side research that I though you might want to know.

Hope you liked it and please read and review.
