I do not own Doctor Who or Yugioh.

The thief king was aware the entire time he was locked in the millennium ring; despite what people believed he knew everything that was going on around him. Occasionally he would sleep though he didn't really need to as he had no body that required the energy. Mostly he only slept when he was bored. Every once in a while something so momentous would happen that would grab his attention and he would wonder about it for years to come. The giant locust attack that happened during the reign of Nefertiti for example or in more recent times the different robots attacking the world, and the attack of the alien spaceship that nearly killed a third of the mortals. He had been there personally for the last one as he had found his host by that point. There had been other moments in history that he had heard about but these ones were singularly weird and once he found his host he started researching them. He knew he needed to find the other millennium items so this was something that could be done only during his spare time. However once he saw the man he spent a lot more time researching then he had originally planned. Who was this man that appeared throughout history whenever something large was about to happen? He did a little more digging and eventually found a website that while not entirely useful did manage to get him some answers in the end.

Bakura went to the address listed on the site; luckily it was near his hosts house so it did not take him long to get there. The man that answered the door was fat and far too cheerful for his own good; it made the thief want to stab him.

"You must be Ryou, I'm Clive. Follow me and I will show you what I have on the Doctor." Bakura put on his Ryou smile and followed the man. He could barely refrain from rolling his eyes as Clive gave a dramatic speech but the information that followed interested him greatly. While the fat mortal tried to give him some bullshit about how they were family he could tell that all these different men scattered throughout history were in fact the same person. Their hair and body could change but their eyes remained the same. All of these men had the same eyes that Bakura himself had; eyes that had seen too much pain and misery, the eyes of a person who had lived far too long.

Later when Bakura was by himself he thought about what he had learned that day and he knew without a doubt that the man was a time traveler, and not completely human either if his changing faces was to be taken into account. While he was interested in the mystery of the man himself he was far more intrigued by the possibilities of time travel. After all he would not need to collect all seven millennium items if he could go back in time and stop their being created all together.

He spent a whole year searching for the man and his blue box. When he finally tracks him down it is the next Christmas Eve and his host is standing by the window looking out. Bakura had allowed him control for this day as he bloody hates Christmas. The holiday is too cheerful and happy and makes him want to murder someone. He hears Ryou gasp though and takes a second to glance through his eyes before he takes full control of the body and heads outside. Hanging in the sky like a stupid star is some weird ship thing. He doesn't know what it is but he knows it's not a miracle like the stupid mortals seem to think. His opinion is proven right when the ship starts shooting out electricity and he knows the doctor must be nearby now. He slides his fingers around the ring and concentrates on the blue box. Normally he would focus on a person but he is not sure what the doctor looks like now as he has so many different forms. Bakura spends the next hour running all over London until he finally finds the blue box in the middle of a boring plain street. He moves quietly behind it and places his hand on the wood to glance around and- what the hell? He looks at the wood again and frowns. It feels warm and…welcoming under his hand. Scowling Bakura shakes his head before moving forward again. He cannot afford to get distracted, not when the salvation for his family is right in front of him. Standing in front of a house nearby is a red haired woman in a wedding gown and the Doctor. The same one that helped with the invasion last Christmas he notes. They are both talking so Bakura takes the moment, slides inside the blue box and immediately comes to a halt. He doesn't step back outside because that would draw attention to him but he does stare for a moment before snorting and moving forward.

"Bigger on the inside huh." He glances around the ship as he heads up the stairs towards the center of the room. There in the middle is what he assumes are the controls to fly the thing. His eyes narrow as he looks it over; he can already tell without needing to look more closely that he won't be able to fly the ship by himself. He rests his hands on the console and then yanks them back quickly. Again the console is warm like the wood was and suddenly he notices the odd atmosphere in the ship. There is a sense of welcome and comfort as though the ship likes him which is an absurd thought as no one likes him let alone an alien space ship.

"What?" He hears from the door and he turns around to face the Doctor who is standing at the doors confused. Bakura takes a moment to smirk and he leans back against the console; acting as if he owns the place.

"Hello Doctor." His smirk grows as the Doctors confusion does.

"What?"

"You're going to help me travel back in time."

"WHAT?"

AN: This story jumped into my head and demanded to be written. Sadly it did not turn out as well once I wrote it out as it was in my head. I am planning on having a lot of fun with it though. This chapter took place during the runaway bride and will probablly move away from the episodes a little now. It might not but I definitely do not plan on involving Martha as I am pretty sure Bakura would kill her.

I hope you all enjoy it and please leave a review letting me know what you think.
