Thank you to all my reviewers who read The Rose and Ryou!!!!! I love you guys, of course I didn't need to say it, but I know you love to hear it! I got over 200 reviews for this story and we are almost up to the same amount of reviews for Nanny Bakura! Keep them reviews coming and I will try to put in the petting zoo chappie!
Ryou and Bakura give me a sensual massage because I'm really tense over meeting my prof next week for my thesis….*Ryou and Bakura walk in wearing speedos and a carrying a virgin pina colada!!! *
Tenshi Bakeru: Snow day? You in philly? That's where I'm from! I'll give you more pixy sticks when you review!!!
Anigirl15: I wanted Bakura to take his soul. But then I thought of something else I can do with him later. He's going to use Shadi's key…I've said too much.
Queen of Demon Dragons: I emailed you and I wrote a rough draft.
Cheesepuff: I loved that part with seto's CD's.
Digi: *hands Seto to Digi in his undies * He's your, Digi. Bakura is mine. Who wants Ryou? *fans stampede over bakurasgirl *
Dark Raven: Sorry I missed you in my last chappie. We'll find out if Anzu gets bad. They still do not have the necklace.
Isis: sorry I missed your review last chappie. I'm glad you like my Anzu even though she is a teensy bit out of character.
Beholder of the Shadows: Seto in his undies was the best. It's hard not to laugh at that.
Shade Angel: Yes, Seto is a freak, but he's my freak and Digi's freak! He's our special freaky, funky CEO of the Kaiba-C!
Queen of Games: Thankies for the review for the rose and Ryou. I thin it's one the best angst things I've ever done! Sorry I missed it in my last chappie!
Key and Scales…but No Necklace!
Yami and Isis ran to Shadi's office in the Egyptian archives of the museum. With the Millenium Key around his neck, Shadi was translating ancient texts from papyrus. He was surprised to find Yami and Isis burst through the door.
"Shadi, we need your assistance."
Shadi abandoned his scroll. "You look troubled."
"Shadi, you are not safe here. Bakura and Malik are after the Millenium items," Isis begged him. "You have to leave."
"The scale is protected, Isis. The Key does not leave my side." Yami dashed to the shelves ofbooks and thumbed through them quickly. Bakura and Malik would follow them and he counted on it. Bakura came for him and Isis. Shadi would be taken, but said the scale was safe.
"I need you to enchant me," Yami told them. Both of them exchanged wary glances and Yami thought about what he said along with the nasty mental image it produced. "No! I need you to put a spell on me!"
Outside Shadi's archives……
Malik watched as Bakura approached with Yugi under his arm. "What is this?" Malik seethed.
"This is our little bargaining chip," Bakura said putting Yugi on his feet.
"I won't help you hurt Yami!" Yugi choked out.
Bakura glared at him. "If you do not behave yourself, Marik will be next in our collection of soulless puppets."
Malik looked up at Bakura and crossed his arms. "Souless?"
"Bakura stole Ryou's soul," Yugi said angrily.
"He was a nuisance anyway. I'm glad I'm done with him," Bakura spat out angrily. Deep down, it hurt him to say such vile words, but he couldn't help the emotions which filtered out of him.
Yugi tried to suppress the urge to stay quiet, but Yami could be in the room in front of them. He had to warn Yami they were nearby. Yugi gathered the guts to scream at the top of his lungs. "Ryou told me all about you, Bakura. You are lovers, aren't you?"
"I could never love that sniveling brat!"
"Yami and I would never betray each other like you betrayed Ryou!" Yugi saw his chance to take control of the situation. "WHY, BAKURA? WHY?!!!"
Bakura took Yugi by the arm and pulled him into the room. Yami turned around to see Yugi in Bakura's grasp. "Aibou!"
"Yami!"
Bakura snickered. "Now we have all of the Millenium Items in this room!"
Malik looked around. "Where's Isis?" Bakura's Ring flashed to the Millenium Scale on a bookshelf.
"We'll find her. Now we have the Scales and Key." Bakura grabbed the Scale and his hand began to burn. Bakura dropped Yugi, but Malik scooped his arm up again.
"Spirit or not, only the rightful owner of the Scales can handle them. It is an ancient spell."
"There's no such thing!" Malik growled. "Then you try to pick it up, then, if you are so sure."
Malik scowled. "Then take it and let's go, Bakura." Malik struggled with Yugi. Bakura gripped his hand in searing pain. Shadi took the Scales in his hand.
They shut the door and Isis sneaked from behind the bookshelf with a sigh. The Millenium Necklace would remain out of Anzu's hands…for now.
Next Chappie: Yami….transformed??
