"Bakura do you think I can have my fries back?" Tristan asked

He glared at him and sighed. He handed Tristan the fries after taking one more.

"Bakura, I've never seen anyone go crazy over food." Yugi said smiling "Except Joey."

"Yes, well I haven't eaten for four days." Bakura blushed in embarrassment

"Really I thought you haven't eaten in three years." Tristan asked

"Just because you're in the shadow realm doesn't mean you don't eat, Tristan. Yet usually I steal food but during my last day I gave it away." Bakura smiled

"YOU STOLE FOOD!?" Marik yelled

"Oh yea I forgot you were the pharaoh." Bakura sighed

"He's the pharaoh?" Yami looked surprised

"Yea...I'm the pharaoh and a very good one might I add." Marik boasted

Bakura laughed when he mentioned being a good pharaoh.

"I AM! DAMNIT I AM!" Marik roared

"Right. Starving everyone? That's great leadership." Bakura took another fry

They ate and Bakura explained everything from vision to fry stealing. He also explained about the dark creature looking to steal magic and power from those who hold it mainly Yugi and Yami. They listened intently. Well most of them did. Joey would glance over at Bakura in untrusting eyes. Bakura couldn't blame him. After his time living at Domino he did cause a lot of trouble. From sending them into the shadow realm to,well, now. Bakura avoided any eye contact with Joey, he knew if he looked into his eyes he was gonna be killed.

Bakura sighed and looked over at Yugi. He could see the three spirits fighting over which food they will eat. Yami took the burger, Ryou took the fries, and Marik held the drinks hostage until he got some real food instead of the onion rings. Yugi smiled. He always smiles even if its raining, he was late, and gets beaten up. He'll smile.

Bakura sighed and rocked in his chair as the others whispered to each other. They asked whether or not to trust him. He'd take a left over fry and pop it into his mouth. He looked around the room. He saw the Yami's fighting over the last fry. Yugi's granpa had returned from the grocery and the puzzle. It sat on the table near the couch. He intently stared at the pyramid shaped trinket. It began to come apart. Bakura kept rocking and rubbed his eyes. He wanted to make sure he wasn't going crazy. It still fell apart piece by piece. Bakura could see Yami perfectly fine laughing triumphantly after eating the deep fried potato. Bakura thought it strange. Then the darkness took shape. It was searching for something through the pieces. Bakura tipped over. He hit the floor with a thud. He probably scared it away because when he looked up again it was gone. Although he left the puzzle in many different pieces like it had once started.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^ Bakura's POV

Yugi stood up to see if I was all right. I rubbed my back and stood placing the chair back into it's original spot. Joey and Tristan just stared at me as if I was up to no good. I ignored them. Marik and Ryou looked over at me then at Yami then at me once again. I think they wanted to hit him but wanted to be sure I was all right. I smiled as if I had just been stupid. Although in a way I was.

"I didn't mean to scare all of you. I'm was just a little clumsy that's all." I smiled A little white lie never hurt anyone. I hope.

Yugi laughed. Hopefully he wasn't faking it. If he didn't buy that than I won't get away with anything else.

"I'm glad you're all right." Yugi said smiling

Everyone returned to his or her business as if nothing had happened. From the kitchen I sneaked into the living room. No one had noticed. I grinned at the fact that my sneakiness has gotten better. I stopped at the pieces that were scattered. I knew I couldn't fix it. Only Yugi could. Well I searched the pieces hoping for a clue as to what he was looking for. Behind the piece of the eye that would be in the middle of the puzzle was an incantation. I really didn't know for what, but in order to help Yugi you must know everything. I began to read within my own mind where it was safe.

'Place the two as one. Their power is now great. Place the two apart. Their power grows dim. He who solves this puzzle belongs to the one within. This power must be greatly protected for many seek it. Read these words for it will help protect the Pharaoh and his light.' Bakura sighed He decided to read it mentally before aloud. 'The power is hidden within. A power so great it's unwritten. Protect the ones who hold this power. So that fire may not shower. A guardian a knight a shield to be needed a gift not easily to repeated.'

Strange was the only word I could think of. I shrugged what harm could come of it?

"The power is hidden within. A power so great it's unwritten. Protect the ones who hold this power. So fire may not shower. A guardian a knight a shield to be needed a gift not to easily repeated." I whispered it so I wouldn't draw attention to myself.

Well, I got my wish. Yugi had a protector. Me. I felt the piece burn into my hand. I immediately dropped it making sure not to yell. I blew on my hand so it may cool off. Then nothing had happened. I decided to clean up the mess the shadow had created. I placed the pieces onto the table. I picked up the last few pieces when Joey had walked in on me. I froze as he opened his mouth.

"HEY! WHADDA YA THINK YOUR DOIN!?" He yelled

I wouldn't be surprised if the whole world heard him. Well, Yugi and his friends entered as well as the spirits. The only thing they saw was someone taking apart the puzzle. Yami checked himself to see if he was disappearing, he wasn't.

"Bakura what are you doing?" Yugi asked face went from smile to a depressed frown

"I told ya he was just another power hungry shadow realm guy!" Joey yelled

The spirits rolled their eyes. Not all of them we're power hungry, but hungry only.

I sighed. "Bloody hell."
