I woke up Sunday morning to a pounding on my bedroom door.

"Hey (y/n)!

Wake up! I have finally succeeded!" Came a low voice from behind the door.

I turned my head to look at the alarm clock, 04.56 it read.

Growling I turned myself away from the door: "Uhnnnn.. Bakuraaaa, it's 5 o'clock in the morning! Come back in two hours… or so…." With that I was almost asleep again, when I heard him crash open the door.

I jumped at the sound and rolled to my other side to see Bakura standing in the doorway looking very pissed off and very excited at the same time. He turned on the light so I had to cover my eyes against it.

"Didn't you hear me, (y/n)?! I expect you to obey me when I command you to wake up!"

"Like I've told you a million times Bakura, I am not your slave, which means you don't get to obey me." I said calmly, while squinting against the light.

"Never mind that, I finally did it! All my efforts have not been in vain!"

I looked at him confused. What was he talking about. He managed to take over the world in one night? Maybe he finally got rid of the pharaoh.. Nahh.

He looked at me expectantly.

I didn't want to look dumb, but I really had no idea what he meant "So, what exactly did you accomplish?"

His look changed to a scowl. "I told you, I have been trying to get in touch with some allies. More specifically, my past self."

Trying to keep my eyes open, I thought back. Some weeks ago he did say something about his past self, the Thief King, but he only mentioned it once and I kind of forgot about it.

Seeing that I remembered he continued with a grin "Come downstairs with me and you'll see." With that he turned and left my room.

I yawned, looked at the clock one more time, but dragged myself out of bed anyway. I was curious as to what he wanted to show me. I looked myself up and down. I was wearing a light blue pajama with Eek the cat faces all over it. I thought about getting dressed, but decided against it. It was just Bakura anyway. He had seen me in my pajamas before. And I was too tired to think about it further.

I went downstairs where Bakura was waiting for me. Giving me an amused look because of my attire he told me to sit down. I sat down on the couch waiting for the explanation.

"A week ago I managed to communicate with my old self, through use of my Millennium Ring and some other artifacts that I recently claimed."He said with that grin on his face again. "After talking with him we had an idea which would enable me to transport my past self here, to the future. The first time we tried failed though and it wasn't until three days ago that I realized it was because we are basically the same person. As my old self reminded me there was an item that could take care of that little problem. However in this time that item has vanished long ago, but 5000 years ago it was brand new. My other self obtained it and used it tonight and it worked!" He finished, bursting into evil laughter.

I had been quiet through all that. Akefia.. I met him once. When Yugi and his friends were transported back in time I managed to come along, hoping to assist Bakura there. Instead of Bakura I met Akefia though. King of thieves is what his minions called him. Even with my help we failed to beat the pharaoh though. The memory of losing Akefia and Bakura came back to me. It still hurt even though that was a year ago. I was so glad when I saw the millennium ring glow after Yugi had put it in the stone. In the middle of the duel between the pharaoh and Yugi, before anyone even knew what happened, I had taken the millennium ring and taken off with it.

Looking at Bakura, and hoping he wouldn't wake the neighbors with his loud laughter I asked: "You brought yourself from 5000 years ago to our time?" I thought to myself If he did transport Akefia here, is he now stuck in an item as well? Taking possession of someone else's body? I thought about what he would look like now. He was quite handsome in the past. Tanned body, very muscular white hair that stood in all directions and a large scar under his right eye, which only made him look even better even though I didn't like to imagine how he got it.

As if reading my thoughts Bakura said, "He's here in his own body." While he said that someone stept into the living room and stood next to Bakura, the very same grin on their faces. He was wearing the same thing he had been wearing then. Just a cloth and a red cape. He was just as tall as Bakura, but his bare chest was much more broad.

I looked at them stunned for a few seconds before getting up. With my yaw hanging slightly open I walked towards Akefia It couldn't be I reached a hand out to him and carefully touched him on the shoulder. It was solid. He was really here. I looked up at his eyes, realizing I had been staring mostly at his chest. His eyes stared right back at me. Blushing I quickly pulled back my hand and looked at Bakura who looked back with a wide grin.

"That is not all. There was a slight side effect when I separated my spirit from his."

I heard someone behind them come quietly into the room. Blushing and with the sweetest smile on his face, Ryou came to stand next to Akefia. My yaw dropped further open and I took a few steps back. Next to Akefia Ryou looked very small, except for the difference in height, Akefia was also twice as broad shouldered.

"Hi (y/n)" Ryou said shyly.

Upon hearing my name I snapped out of it. My stunned look turned to a broad smile. "Wow Bakura! This is amazing!" I said, getting excited. I could hardly keep myself from jumping up and down. Looking at their faces one by one I stopped at Ryou, who tried to hide a yawn. "Oh, you guys must be tired!" They all nodded. "Well you guys get to bed then. One of you can take my bed. I wouldn't be able to sleep now anymore anyway. And the third ehm…" "I can sleep on the floor" Came the voice of Akefia. "I'm used to it."

They all went upstairs leaving me to my thoughts.

I was so excited and I wasn't even sure why. I decided to have a shower first. Getting a towel and walking to the bathroom I remembered I would need a change of clothes. That reminded me that I had been wearing pajamas that whole time. Maybe I should have changed into normal clothes before I came down after all.. oh well. I thought blushing lightly.

I sneaked into my room and saw Ryou sleeping soundly in my bed. He is so adorable when he sleeps. Well actually even when he's not sleeping. Without making a sound I got some clothes and left my bedroom, closing the door carefully behind me.

After taking a shower I went downstairs again. I decided to make them all something to eat for when they woke up. I usually didn't make Bakura something to eat at all, because he would only assume I would do it all the time and start ordering me around as his slave again. But in this case I was willing to make an exception.
