Time for the fourth chapter thanks to those who reviewed, I'm glad that people like my story!
Disclaimer-I still resist writing a real disclaimer, you all know I don't own yu-gi-oh. I assume you've figured it out by now.
*note*- I call it the millennium necklace; yes I know it's actually the millennium tauk, sorry to those who know the real version, I'd use it but the first time I talked about it I called it necklace instead of tauk so I'm just continuing what I started.
Chapter four
_*_*_
"Get up."
Bakura opened his eyes; Kinta was standing in the doorway of his room.
"C'mon, get up, Ryou's out, it's 11:30 we need to get going."
Bakura groans and practically fell out of bed; Kinta rummaged though his closet and threw some clothes to him. As Bakura dressed and woke up Kinta rummaged in his room and occasionally going out into the hall, or a surrounding room. She came back into the room as Bakura put on the millenium ring.
"You ready?"
"Yeah."
"Take this and we'll go." Kinta handed him a dagger. He stared at it a second before putting in an inner pocket of his jacket. The blade was made of-
"Diamond, yes, sharp as hell, don't cut yourself."
The set off, and exited the house.
"Try the ring see if you can give us an estimate on where the necklace is."
Bakura concentrated for a moment a picture of the millenium necklace in his head; the ring glowed and pointed east.
"There's our course."
The two walked along in silence, Bakura was now completely awake but not in the mood for talking, and Kinta was busy with her own thoughts.
/ We need to get this done and fast, the more time we spend tracking Isis the more prepared she'll be. Hopefully she'll be alone; so much could go wrong here if we're not careful../
After about five minutes of walking Bakura used the ring again. They adjusted their course and kept going.
They were getting close the ring began to glow without Bakura's influence, yes; they were closing in on the necklace. The arrived in front of the museum.
"Wonderful, a public place," Kinta grumbled.
They proceeded up the stairs and looked around, the ring led them to a door that said "closed to public." The two took a quick look around them then pushed open the door, they went down a flight of stairs and before them stood a room, Isis, her back facing them, was looking at a stone carving on the wall. The two crept forward silently, Kinta leading.
"I've been waiting for you." It was Isis; she turned to face the two. "I have known of your coming."
Unyielding Kinta stepped forward, "then you must know our reason for being here. Now don't you?"
"Yes, I felt when you came here, you; the forgotten one, and the eighth bearer, what a twist of fate?"
"Light hearted words for one with a fate as yours." Kinta hissed at Isis.
"My death is necessary, I can do nothing to change it"
"You're right," Kinta said advancing, "there's nothing you can do."
"But be warned," Isis said halting Kinta's advance, " your victory is in no way assured, when the final battle comes you will find him to be your equal, and she yours." The last comment was to Bakura, who'd been hanging back a bit.
Kinta took Isis's neck in her hand and shoved her against the wall, Kinta's words full of bitterness and threat; "I've had enough of your predictions! I will rule! And; He. Is. Not. My. Equal."
Though Isis was in no position to provoke-she did; "then he is your superior!"
Kinta struck like lightning, she took the necklace form Isis's neck and plunged a dagger into her throat; Isis sank to the ground blood staining her dress. Isis looked at Bakura, and uttered her last words, "She will show you mercy, take it and live. You fate hasn't been fulfilled"
"He is not my superior." Kinta stated. In her fury she hadn't heard what Isis had said to Bakura "Yami is not my superior" she repeated. Isis looked at Kinta then slumped over on the tile, dead. Her eyes open staring at the ceiling.
Kinta put the necklace in her coat pocket; she walked up to Bakura wiping her dagger clean with a handkerchief as she went, "hey help me get her out of here."
The two made quick work of the body, she'd be found eventually, they left her in a broom closet, in a corner.
_*_*_
They walked from the museum in silence, Kinta was in a fury and Bakura was thinking about what Isis had said to him, 'she will show you mercy, take it and live your fate hasn't been fulfilled' what had Isis meant by it? Was she talking about Kinta? She had to have been, who else could she have meant? But still he couldn't imagine Kinta showing mercy to anyone; much less himself. Too much to think about, he'd just take it out on Ryou later…

"So what are we going to do with the necklace?" Bakura ventured he didn't really want to just leave it in Kinta's possession.
"Well we should keep the items separate, so they don't send power waves across the city, that would be sure to attract some attention from the others which we don't want. We can spilt them up between us, I'll keep this one, while you keep your ring and the eye, seems fair to me. " Kinta replied calmly.
"And the rest..?" Bakura prompted.
"We can decide when we have them eh?" she turned and left him standing in the alley.
"Like hell we'll decide, you wan them all you bitch don't even try to hide it, I know, we want the same thing and only one of us can get it." Bakura spat after she was out of sight. He kicked a trashcan and left the alley, headed for home.

"Bakura!" Ryou chirped happily as Bakura entered the house, "where were you?" he asked.
" none of your business."
Ryou backed off a little he knew no to upset Bakura, Rou headed upstairs and out of Bakura's way, he didn't want to repeat his last encounter with Bakura like this, he'd come out of it with a black eye; he had had to stay home from school until it was gone. It had been one of the worst experiences ever. The way Bakura acted that week…. Ryou still shuddered at it.
Bakura sat in his room streaming, he felt a sharp pain in his side then realized he still had Kinta's dagger she had given him, he took it out an looked at it, it was stunning and sharp, perfect for killing, it was an artful death weapon. He ran his fingers down the blade, captivated by it. He took the dagger up and ran it along his palm, creating a cut. Crimson blood appeared; he curled his cut hand into a fist and let the blood drip from it onto the carpet. He was enthralled by the blood, it stopped dripping after a moment Bakura opened his hand and stared at the cut, it had taken no effort, if Kinta used a blade like this on his, one mistake could cost him his life. He wiped the blood from the blade on his sleeve, his hand was still stained though. He got up from the bed where he had sat and walked into the kitchen, Ryou was there getting a soda, seeing Bakura he backed away, afraid of what might happen. Bakura glared at Ryou, took a soda from the fridge, set it on a counter and closed in on Ryou. The pale boy cowered before his darkness. Bakura slapped his face.
"Look at me." he commanded, Ryou did. "as far as you know I was home all day got that? You tell anyone and I'll make last time seem like a day at the beach, you tell no one."
Ryou nodded meekly afraid to see if he'd do anything else.
"good." Bakura replied, he gave Ryou a kick then left the room. Ryou sank to the floor tears welling in his eyes, he'd seen the blood on Bakura, something was happening and he could do nothing to stop it.

Kinta entered her soul room with the necklace, she wasn't a fool it was safest here, good thing she'd learned how to bring objects to and from her soul room as she liked. She deposited the necklace in a hidden wall panel, it sat next to a dagger and a vial of hemlock. Before she closed the panel though curiosity took hold of her and she put the necklace on. She focused and waited for something to happen. A wave of dread filled her as a shadowed figure appeared in her mind the person was radiating power they were dangerous to say the least, she saw only one other thing, she saw the figure fighting with Bakura. Kinta threw of the necklace and into the secret opening, her eyes wide with confusion and foreboding. Whoever it was was helping Yami and was not on her side; not at all.

Hey that was kinda a cliff hanger… anyway review for me review! I want to post the next chapter it has probably my favorite piece of dialogue in it, so please review so I can post it.
Kinta-or I'll hunt you down and kill you!
Yeah, you heard her, oh and above I mentioned Kinta had a vial of hemlock in the panel with the necklace, for anyone who doesn't know hemlock is it's an extremely strong poison used way long ago to kill people. (well obviously, I mean really what else would you use poison for?)
Review!
