AN: Hi guys! Now, I re-wrote the story because the other one is so boring! Shay did live with Ryou and his dad sent her the millennium pendent when he sent Ryou the ring. After Sai came lets just say she ran away. Now, THIS chapter is the story on how Bakura and Sai knew each other. So, after this I'm going to write another story that is MUCH better than this one, a sequel called " 'Friends' on a moonlit night." I might change it but enough of my rambling, on with the story! ^_^ Oh, Akifa=Bakura

Disclaimer: I'm a 12 year old who duels and writes stories. DO THE MATH!!!

Sai's P.O.V.

___________________________

The sand stung my face. I had met Akifa nearly a month ago. I had fallen in love with the tomb robber but he probably didn't feel the same about me. Why should he? I'm a 16 year old gypsy!

Sure I've danced for him a few times but what does it matter? He don't care, I'm just a partner in crime.

"Akifa? Are you sure you want to go to the Pharaohs tomb?" I tried to yell over the sandstorm but only got a mouth full of sand.

"Sai, I truly think you can do this." He turned his face towards me. "I mean, you're the one who caught the Pharaohs guards off guard didn't you?"

Yeah, on our last adventure Akifa was captured by the guards, so I undid my blouse. Hehehehe…

"Anyway, the tomb is just ahead. We can't turn back now." I guess he was right. Oh well. I just don't want to flash anyone again.

Bakura's P.O.V.

I led the 16yr. Old gypsy through the sandstorm. The sand was rough and stung our faces. I hate the desert.

I turned around to look at her. She was holding an arm up to her face to shield it from the sand. In frustration she stamped her foot, making the tambourine on her hip shake and ring. Damn, I loved that tambourine. I still remember the first night I met her…

* * * * * FLASHBACK* * * * *

Bakura was walking down a cold street late at night. Suddenly he saw a carriage. It stopped right in front of him, blocking his path. A young girl wearing a peasant top and a purple scrunchie skirt walked up to him. She had a black headband and no shoes. A tambourine was strapped to her hip.

"Hey there, where ya goin good lookin'?"

Bakura stopped to look up once he noticed the girl was talking to him. "Why would you want to know?"

She walked up to him seductively. "Well, maybe a lonely gypsy like my self wants a good looking friend to keep her company. Interested?"

Bakura smirked. He wasn't that kind of guy, but she could be an exception.

She smirked. "I'll take that as a yes." She put a hand on her hip. "The names Saiagami. Saiagami Nokashi Raha. But you have to earn to call me that."

"Fine with me. My names Akifa Nanashi Bakura. But you have to earn to call me by my name."

Sai smirked. "How do I do that?"

He smirked back. "How do you think?"

"I can take a wild guess…" She turned for the carriage. "Come with me." She said over her shoulder. Bakura followed her…

* * * * *END* * * * * (AN: Nothing lemony! She just showed him a dance! So… :P)

Ah, yes. That tambourine. The way she shook her hips and moved, amazing. And to think, she was only what? 16, 17? Just think, when she's 21 she'll have more experience. Don't get me wrong, I don't look at a woman as some kind of a toy. In fact, I hate it the way some guys can strut around with a 15yr old girl. Its disgusting. Just like the Pharaoh. He has about 100 slaves, half of them probably woman. Animal. (AN: No offence Yami lovers. I'm just REALLY mad at him for hurting Bakura! :'()

"Akifa?"

I turned to look at her, "Yes?"

"I hate to sound like a little kid but, are we there yet?" I smiled, something I don't do often. She was amazing. So full of life, so smart…not to mention hot. She still didn't know I liked her, and probably never will. Oh well. "Yes," I replied. "Its right up ahead."

"Thank Isis!" She started towards the tomb and stopped. "Oh, and Ra. Thank him to." I laughed and followed her.

* * * * * * * * Sai/Change scene* * * * * * * *

Akifa lead me down a dark passage. Hell, it was a pyramid. What else would it be. We slowly crawled along the walls. I knew I was slowing him down, so I spoke up. "Akifa? Why don't you go without me. I'll stay here."

I could see his silver hair even through the darkest of nights. "No." He sided firmly. "Your ready for this. Now, come on. Its not much farther." I sighed, but then gasped as he clutched my hand. Nope. Didn't expect that.

* * * * * CHANGE SCENE* * * * * * *

We ran and wove through the maze for about two hours. Finally, we came to a chamber. It was amazing! There were gold hieroglyphics on the walls, and a pharaohs casket in the middle of the room. (AN: You know, like on the episode where Pegasus gets the Millennium Eye?)

"Akifa, Its beautiful…" He looked over to me and smiled. Suddenly we heard foot steps. Akifa pulled me close to him. "We have to hide, over there. Behind the pots!" I nodded, and we scurried off to hide.

* * * * * * AUTHORS POV* * * * * *

Shadi entered the room. Behind him were the Pharaoh, and the High Priest. The high Priest looked at the Pharaoh. "Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked.

The Pharaoh nodded. "Yes. I do not need you to escort me no longer. You may go." The high priest bowed, and left.

"Look at all that gold he's wearing." Bakura said, amazed. Sai snorted. "Stupid rich guys…" Bakura laughed. "What?" He tried to stop. "Oh, nothing…"

(AN: Okay, I'm not going to write a big long boring ritual so…lets just say, Yami was getting ready to seal his soul in the Millennium puzzle and Sai made a noise. Just to get to the important part. ^_^)

The Pharaoh looked up. "Who's there?" He shouted. Sai looked over at Bakura and mouthed 'I'm sorry.'

Shadi walked over to where they were hiding and moved the pot. Sai was cowering next to Bakura and he was covering her mouth. The Pharaoh stormed over. "You!?" He reached over and grabbed a handful of Sai's hair. (AN: Sorry! But he has to be the bad guy for now.)

Sai bit her lip when he pulled her up to stand. Even though he did this, she didn't get to stand up all the way. Bakura jumped up. "Let her go!!" He demanded. The Pharaoh smirked. "And why should I do that? Sop you two can rob my fathers tomb!? Your worthless."

He turned around still holding Sai by the hair. Bakura ran and jumped behind him. He pulled a knife out of his pocket and held it to the Pharaohs throat. "Let her go, or you will die."

Slowly, the Pharaoh released her. He started to mutter something under his breath. Then, something happened.

* * * * * *BAKURA'S POV* * * * *

I felt something pointy on my back, and a warm breath down my neck. I dropped the knife and slowly turned around. The Celtic Guardian was pointing his long sword down my face. "Shit…" I muttered.

The pharaoh smirked. "How do you like something sharp being held at your throat? Not fun, is it?"

"Jack ass." I said. "Why'd you hurt Sai?"

"She's a tomb robber isn't she? I think you two need to be punished…" The robbed man (Shadi) went to the wall. He grabbed a strange looking ring and held it next to me. It glowed. He nodded towards the Pharaoh. "He is destined to have the ring."

"Alright then, do what you have to do." That guy I such a jack ass…

Shadi walked toward my front and slipped the ring around my neck. It started to glow brighter and brighter. I felt a grip on my mind. The stress was unbearable. The grip tightened, I screamed out in agony, then all went black…

* * * * * *Sai POV* * * * *

"NOOOOOO!!!" I screamed as Akifa's body went limp. I ignored the beast standing over him and ran towards him. "Akifa!" I turned to look at the Pharaoh, "What have you done!?"

That guy put a hand on his hip, and you know what he did? He smirked! The bastared smirked! I ran over to him. Stop smiling! Does he like watching people suffer?

He just looked at me. "He belongs to the ring know. (AN: Is it just me? Or did that sound like Lord of the Rings?) His soul is trapped in it."

I fell to my knees. "No…" I said softly, "Akifa…" A tear ran down my cheek. He can't be dead, he just can't be. "Kill me." I whispered.

He looked puzzled. "What?" He asked.

"I said KILL ME!!" I stood up know, shaking with rage. I can't STAND being alone. I have know one else.

The Pharaoh, that nasty, despicable man! You know what he did? He SMILED!! Man, this gut IS a basterad. Then, after he smiled, he said: "Even if you die, you will not be together." He looked down. "Although there is a way you two may see each other again."

"Please," I started, "Please tell me how I can see Akifa again." The Pharaoh looked at me, was that, emotion in his cold eyes?

The Pharaoh looked at Shadi, who just nodded his head. Why the HELL do they have to be some damn mysterious? Shadi then walked up to me. He reached inside his pocket, and fetched a necklace. It was beautiful! On the thin golden chain there was a golden pendent. With, the eye of Horus (Is it Horus, or Honshu? There BOTH Egyptian gods.)

Shadi reached the necklace out to me , and dropped it. I stretched my hand out to catch it. As soon as it touched my hand, the eye grew brighter. It blinded me and sent a pain through my body, mostly to one thing…

My heart. (AN: Hey! She loves him, and sacrificed her life for him! YOU DO THE MATH!)

The white light totally engulfed me. I screamed. Then, my body went limp. I could see Akifa.

* * * * *AUTHORS POV* * * * *

Shadi stared at the limp bodies. "Pharaoh? Are you sure it was wise to do that? They might not be able to meet again for a Millennia."

Yami did that little pose thing he does. "That's the point."

Shadi looked puzzled. Yami made it clearer to him, "We don't want them to get out and raise chaos, now do we?" Shadi bowed his head. "I see your point." 'But I still think it was cruel.'

Yami turned, "Well, I guess we have to do the ritual another time." Shadi nodded, and they left…
