Author notes-oh my Ra I have author notes…weird…onto the point, parts of dialogue and happenings in this chapter are ideas from Anthy Kilik, thanks to her: I owe. So just giving her credit. Now go read and review her stories!!! Oh but mine first!

_*_*_

Bakura sat thinking, not something he did often, but Kinta had defiantly given him a lot to think about. He checked the barrier between him and Ryou; he didn't need his hikari sensing anything. He hated when Ryou went into his mind even accidentally, his thoughts were his alone and when he realized Kinta could go though his own at will… he shuddered; that bitch was something, but what? Would they really collect all the items, somehow he just didn't see it happening. Technically they were over halfway to their goal, but as Bakura knew, Yami would be the challenge. And he was pretty sure Kinta's temper would cause them to fail, he'd seen her with Isis, and himself for that matter, she reacted to things with out a thought, emotions driving her. Now sure Bakura knew he wasn't exactly the most levelheaded person ever, he was crazy and he knew it, and on top of that he liked it, but there was something about Kinta that pushed her to the edge. There was something more than just being power hungry and the past in Egypt, something else was driving her, she'd even admitted that to him.

Bakura remembered what she'd said that first night when he asked her why. "…. He's a controlling bastard that should never have ruled." He remembered how she'd sounded, cold and bitter something was driving her.

"There's something else right, that's not just it, you have another reason to hate him." when he asked her

She had given him a look of empty ness, the passion and bitterness had disappeared in a second, like a painful; memory had been awoken. She answered though. "Yes, there is something else."

"Are you going to tell me?" he remembered pressing, he wanted to know.

Her actions had surprised him she'd walked to the shrine in the corner and rested her hand on the lion's head as if drawing power from it. " Maybe, but not yet. " she said " You don't need to know the rest, it's not important." But he had a feeling it was important, it had to be. He'd let it go then, her voice told him she wouldn't' say more.

But it was countdown time; she had to tell him soon, unless of course she killed him. That thought stopped Bakura, he knew she could, she rivaled his power, but did she exceed? Or maybe she'd just taken him unprepared, but either way she'd already pressed a dagger to hid throat-not an experience he wanted to repeat

. He shook that disturbing thought from his head, it was laughable a robber-a killer like him was afraid of her, she wasn't even as tall as him, nor did she look muscular she looked thin, almost dainty that made him laugh her dainty? Yeah right and Ra is the god of monkeys… Kinta seemed harmless enough but he knew it was an act, he'd seen her kill. Bakura looked at the clock-it was 2:00 am, he rolled over and decided to sleep, tomorrow he could deal with Kinta, besides he had the millenium rod, if he wanted he could control her completely, so for the time being he was in power and that was where he intended to stay.

_*_*_

Classes started bright and early the next morning. The gang was talking out in front of the school like usual. Yami saw Kinta approaching, he remembered what Anthy had said, 'there's something wrong with her, she's not normal' when he insisted it was just the item...well anthy had been stressed… 'Why can't you tell?' she had pleaded, he read Kinta's aura, and he found nothing wrong, there was some power but not what Anthy claimed. He knew Anthy wouldn't say something unless it was true though, maybe.. but something in his head moved away from the idea she was evil, it didn't seem right. But if Anthy suspected something… he resolved to monitor Kinta today, if he found anything suspicious he'd tell Anthy to go ahead and call Shadi, if not he'd try to convince Anthy that there was nothing wrong with the new girl. She was chatting with the group seemingly happy enough. She didn't seem that different from anyone else, except her item of course, Yami forgot his thoughts as Bakura and Ryou came. Now Bakura was evil everyone knew that. But Kinta? He looked from one to the other, if she was evil Bakura would know, and probably have immediately been drawn to another evil sprit-no Kinta was a person not a sprit, and real people just couldn't be that evil…

_*_*_

Yami found nothing to prove Kinta was evil, he resolved to talk to Anthy tonight and figure this out.

_*_*_

after school they went to the game shop, Anthy meet them there. Everyone was happily chatting then Anthy

realized something.

"guys where's Malik?'

no one knew;

"he said he'd meet us I don't get it."

"we'll let's go find him, he's probably at his apartment." They headed outside and made for the apartment building. Anthy knocked on the door. "Malik! You there!?"

"I don't think he's here.."

"hey guys! The doors unlocked." Joey said; he opened the door and everyone shuffled in.

"I don't think he's here.."

then Yugi saw the note on the counter, "hey I found something look."

Everyone moved to read the letter it read:

Guys-

I'm out of town. I'll be back in a few days, no need to panic, I'm just clearing up a few things now that Isis is gone. I just need out of here.

-Malik

" well I guess that's that," Yami sighed. anthy grabbed the note from Yugi, studying it, looking for a sign it was fake. She found nothing and tossed it on the counter again. She clenched her teeth a second before getting n idea.

"hey Kinta didn't you see Malik last night? Did he say anything about this?" Anthy smirked slightly as all the attention turned to her.

" no he didn't must have happened after I left, I wasn't with him for very long anyway, maybe half an hour." Damn it she had pulled it off, Kinta kept her cool and sounded sincere, Anthy should have known that wouldn't worked but she had to try everything so she tried again.

"whad' you guys talk about? Maybe something you said will help us know where he went."

Kinta gave Anthy a slight glare before launching into another lie, " I talked to him about my experiences and how it way for me when I lost my brother, tried to relate help him a little."

"did he say anything about unfinished business or leaving?"

"no."

Anthy was defeated Kinta played the game well, she wasn't stupid, unfortunately for Anthy.

"let's go guys" Anthy said in defeat.

They all went back to the game shop. No one seemed too suspicious other than Anthy. She was distant and made an excuse for her to leave early, she didn't' even say goodbye to Yami.

_*_*_

Anthy got into her apartment and slammed the door, she had put two and two together, Kinta was responsible for Malik's disappearance, and everyone else was too stupid to see it. she pulled the millennium star out, the four poited item had great powers, a great eye in the center, black markings on the item, lightening bolts. Anthy held it out and called out.

"Shadi! Come here now!" she ordered at the star, Shadi would hear her and come … a portal opened in front of her. Shadi stepped out and looked at Anthy, then very calmly he said, "You're on the verge of a mental breakdown."

"no really?" Anthy said sarcastically.

Shadi sat on the couch, still maintaining a level of calm equal to Anthy's rage and annoyance.

"how can you be so calm?!" Anthy practically screamed at the keeper of the items.

Shadi shrugged before speaking, "what's troubling you?"

"there's a crazed, psychotic 8th item bearer out there with at least two other items and has killed Isis!"

"ouch, well I see." Shadi waved his hand and handed a margarita to Anthy, 'here."

"thanks" Anthy downed the drink in one swig and then continued- the margarita had no effect on Anthy. "I haven't even told you the worst of it, no one can sense it! She's fooled all of then, no one has a clue!"

"very troubling, and you called me to…?"

Anthy glared at Shadi before exploding at him, "HELP EXPOSE HER! STOP HER! KILL HER! SOMETHING!" Anthy as panting now.

"calm yourself, tell me more about her."

Anthy took a deep breath before going on, "she calls herself Kinta she's been here for about a week.."

Shadi cut her off, " a week? She moves fast." Shadi noted with slight interest.

"like hell she does."

"she has any accomplices?"

"none that I know of but that doesn't mean they don't exist."

"it certainly doesn't; you said she has at least two items, which?"

:necklace and rod."

"And Malik, he's alive?"

"I think so; he's missing I think she's keeping him somewhere because I can't sense any blood shed on her. I can't tell where she has him though, she has mental barriers like hell, I can only tell so much and that's that this girl is evil."

"do you know where she found her item?"

"Egypt she claims; says she lived there. But she's giving off more dark energy than one person should be able to, I don't think she found it but came from it."

"interesting, you might be right, now do you know of the item itself; powers perhaps?"

""no clue, and you know nothing of the item either? It's a thick band she wears on her wrist, a cuff of sorts, does that tell you anything?"

"I know it shouldn't have existed, it was deemed to powerful to be made, but I see that it was."

"what does it do?"

"manipulate minds."

"like the rod?"

"no, it was supposed to allow the bearer to alter memories of someone, the power was deemed to strong and against ethics=s so it wasn't made."

"and yet the millenium rod was made where you can control minds?" Shadi nodded.

"I don't get you guys…. But what else about it do you know?"

"well altering memories is what it was supposed to do but we can't be sure, it isn't even supposed to exist, it could do something completely different. I can't be sure."

"whadya mean you can't be sure!" Anthy screeched then downed another margarita and set the glass next to the others.

Shadi look at the ten empty glasses, "drink much?"

"this is no time for jokes!" Anthy then downed another margarita from Shadi.

"well you obviously have a lot on your hands. I'll be leaving now." Shadi stood up, then Anthy launched herself off the couch and tackled Shadi.

"NO! You. Are. Staying! You will show them she is evil!" Anthy got up and glared at Shadi.

"there's no place to sleep."

Anthy pulled out the couch into a bed. And glared some more.

"wow, couches do that now?" Shadi asked in mild wonder.

"yes. Stay. Sleep. Expose her!"

"um, ok?"

Anthy sighed, "good." As she turned to leave the living room Shadi spoke again.

"having a nice mental breakdown?"

"yes, thanks for your concern." Anthy answered before going to her own room to sleep.

_*_*_

Kinta suddenly was alert, she was still at the game shop, everyone was getting ready to go, when she felt it.

Shadi was here. Anthy finally put her threat into action, she brought him here. Kinta smirked,

/ she's done what I wanted her to do, bring the bastard here, good. Shadi is and idiot, I mean the power waves were so easy to sense, it's like big neon sign saying, I'm here come on kill me! you'd think the protector of the item would have a little more sense…well, doesn't matter he's here, and now it's time to kill Anthy, I don't want her interfering anymore./

Kinta looked at Bakura, yeah he'd sensed it too. As they left she talked to him in a hushed tone, "I'm getting Anthy, I don't want her around, stay with Ryou, if Anthy dies and you have an alibi, they won't realize were a team, if they get enough sense to figure it out then I may need help to get free. They can't put two and two together until the end got it/"

Bakura nodded, and they went different ways,

At 10: 00 Kinta left to Anthy's, on thought going though her head.

/I'm gonna kill the bitch tonight/

_*_*_

Kilandra-oh I am evil…

Kinta-do I get to kill her?

Kilandra-you'll find out next chapter.

Kinta-you're no fun.

Kilandra-don't care.

Anthy-hey!

KInta-grr..*slapped by Kilandra *
