Heart of Shadows
Yami Bakura was sitting at the kitchen table, sipping his coffee while reading the newspaper. He liked to keep current with events, so he would not seem out of place. A good thief knows it is best to blend in with the crowd. A better thief knows how to be part of the crowd. Besides, if he is not going to cross over, he will need to completely know how the modern world works.
Suddenly, something caught his attention. Some rich dude was showing off an ancient amulet he just bought. It was a bright yellow sphere that seemed to be made out of solid gold. There were four, gold leaves on top with a stem looping out of it, so it could be strung on a chain to wear around the neck.
Yami Bakura narrowed his eyes. This guy must have gotten it on the black market, but there must be no evidence of the crime, or he would not be showing it off. Yami Bakura knew that something like that would have ended up in a museum if someone else have found it. However, this could work out to his advantage. He could steal it back, and the fool would not report it because farther investigation could land him in prison.
"You mean you are going to break into that guy's mansion?!" Bakura said from his mind room. "Could that be dangerous?!" He said in a scared tone.
"Stop being a scaredy cat." Yami Bakura said with annoyance. "I am a professional. I have broken into more secured places than that without anyone knowing." He said with a grin. "Besides, it can lead us right to Layla. It belongs with her."
"All right." Bakura replied, knowing that his darker relative is right.
"The big question is why didn't the Heart of Shadows already found its way back to her, yet." Yami Bakura said, wondering what fate have done to her.
