The next night Bakura sneaked into the Pharaoh's palace. He hid behind pillars, avoided light, and even used his cards to get away from the guards watching eyes. He finally reached the pharaoh's bedroom. There Marik slept rod close by. How was he going to do this? Walk up to him and wake him up? He decided to try and steal the rod. He knew that Marik would wake up if someone touched it.
Bakura silently walked over to the scepter that lay by his bedpost. Slowly reaching for it he felt Marik grab his wrist. He arose from his bed and pulled out the sword that hid within the rod. Marik didn't know who was trying to take his item for Bakura wore his hood up aver his eyes.
"Nxuk te oie kxadb oie uho teadw?" Marik asked placing the sword to his heart ^What do you think you are doing?^
"A najx ke tioc oie." Bakura knew this wasn't going to work ^I wish to duel you.^
Marik lowered his blade and stepped back. "Tioc? Tioc veh nxuk? Mo jsofkoh?" ^Duel? Duel for what? My scepter?"
"Uskiucco A najx ke howuad mo vhootem." Bakura pulled off his hood revealing his face ^Actually I wish to regain my freedom.^
"Bakrua? I thought you'd be dead by now." Marik said placing the sword back into the rod. (They're speaking normally cuz that's how they're saying it.. normally.)
"I've adapted." Bakura raised his hand and a vase flew into his hand
"I can see that. Now you want your freedom? Well I accept. If you win you'll get your freedom. If I win I get your ring, eye and soul. But to make it more interesting if you defeat me without using shadow magic I'll be your best friend in both shadow realm and real world." Marik narrowed his eyes seeing what he would choose
"I bet you I could beat you without my magic. I accept to no magic." Bakura smiled. He was confident. Marik thought there was no way he could lose.
Marik led him to a dueling arena. It was actually nothing but an empty room. Very big room to be exact. Carvings covered the walls and cloaked men stood behind the dueling platform. Marik climbed up onto one side and Bakura on the other.
"Shall we begin?" Marik asked
"Of course." Bakura smiled

Bakura started. He summoned the magical white hat 1000/700
Marik smirked at this. He summoned Maha Vailo 1550/1400. It attacked the magician.
LP 2000 (M) LP 1650 (B)
Bakura took to defense. He played a card face down and a m/t card face down as well. Marik thought Bakura was foolish. He ordered Maha Vailo to attack the defending card. As the monster did as it was told Bakura revealed it to be a morphing jar. Sending each players hand to the graveyard.
During his stay, Bakura has won and bought new cards. That'll stay with him whether shadow or real world.
The duel went on. Bakura placed another card in defense mode. Also he played Dark Elf. 2000/700 He attacked Maho Vailo.
"And since I played the dark elf you lose 1000 of your life points." Bakura said now in the lead
LP 1000 (M) LP 1650 (B)
"You haven't won yet, my friend, I play Jirai Gumo!" Marik summoned the spider from his card. 2200/100 "Attack the dark elf!" Jirai Gumo attacked but did not destroy the dark elf but instead it awoke the morphing jar. Once again it was destroyed and their hand went to the graveyard.
"I use the magic card elf's light to power up my Dark elf." Dark elf - 2400/500 "But using this causes my elf's defense power to decrease. Now attack Jirai Gumo and end this duel!"
The elf attacked the spider and the duel was finished. Bakura had won. Quickly, he didn't want to waste time. The sooner he was free the quicker he could help Yugi.

"I lost!" Marik was in shock
"Not only did I regain my freedom, Marik, but I also gained your friendship."
This was true he didn't use his magic to cheat like every other duelist with a millenium item.
^*^*^* Later that day
Bakura grabbed his cloak and cards. He was ready to leave. As he was stepping out of the realm Marik caught up to him.
"What now Marik?" Bakura asked as if annoyed
"I came to join you. We're friends now, I look after you as you look after me." He extended his arm to shake
Bakura accepted and shook his hand. "But I must warn you Marik I don't want to hurt anyone. I'm there to help."
"Yea got it help pathetic mortals." Marik smiled
"Marik I'm a mortal you do know that right?"
"Yes but your one of a kind. Most mortals can't last a day here without getting killed."
Bakura knew this was true. Marik had sent many mortals here and they all ended up dying.
"What about Malik?" Bakura asked, Malik was his hikari (FYI ^_^)
"I'll take over his body. He's just as weak as you used to be. I've been thinking about sending him here it did great for you."
"And risk killing yourself?"
"Yeah I guess your right."
If your light dies than your dark would die. Ryou wouldn't die if Bakura did because of his new home. If Yugi died than Yami and Ryou would join him.
Bakura and Marik stepped out of the shadow realm and into the real world. Bakura looked at the pavement and homes that surrounded him. He hadn't seen this in three long years. He then thought of his father. Bakura's mother had died long ago so that meant he was all alone after Bakura disappeared. Perhaps he was still there.
