HI! My very first fic is about to begin! Any fan of the "Legend of Zelda"
game series will certainly enjoy it. Even if you haven't, everyone loves a
good adventure....right? Especially when everyone's favorite tomb robber is
the hero. And it's AU, except Bakura has the Millenium Ring. Oh, and one
more thing before the fic begins....it's gonna be a LONG one, with LOTS of
chappies, and I'll probably start working on other stories before I finish
this. Ok? Great! I'll get started now!

~~Chapter 1: Outset Island ~~
Ryou ran around the island, calling for his brother. 'How could he forget?!' Ryou thought to himself. 'It's his birthday, and he's off somewhere? Gosh, what a space cadet....' Then a small smile crept across his face as he thought of exactly where his brother might be. Taking off in a burst of speed, Ryou headed for the Outset Island watchtower.
Sure enough, there was Bakura, asleep on the wooden floor of the watchtower. Ryou rolled his eyes, then prepared to wake up the snoring boy. "HEY, BIG BROTHER!!! SOMEONE'S BLOWING UP THE ISLAND!!!!!!!!!!" (A/N: My, Ryou is OOC. That means 'out of character', right? Tell me in a review if I'm wrong...) Well, that got Bakura up. With a shout, he jumped up and nearly fell over the wooden rail into the ocean below. "What?! Someone's blowing it up?! Get help! Run! Run!" Ryou gave him an innocent look. "Just kidding. What I meant to say is that....IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND MOM'S BEEN WAITING ON YOU THREE HOURS!" (I know, a lot of caps, but bear with me, ok? And I KNOW Ryou's mother is dead, but this is AU! So get over it!) Bakura glared at his younger brother, then lightened up. "Oh, yeah! My birthday! I totally forgot!" Ryou smiled. 'Took him long enough to figure it out...'
Ten minutes later, both boys were back at their house, and were licking the cake batter they had found on the counter. "Hey, you two get out of that! Soon there won't be any left to make a cake!" Bakura turned around to see his mother standing there, with her hands on her hips. "Anyway, Bakura, I have a present for you." she continued, going over to the big chest of clothes and rummaging through it. Soon, she emerged with a green shirt, a green hat, and white leggings. Ryou stared. "Gods, what IS that? It's real ugly, whatever it is." His mother's face fell. "I made it myself. And it's not 'ugly', it's the garb of the legendary hero, and you, Bakura, are going to wear it!" Now it was Bakura's turn to balk. "W-wh-WHAT?!"
"There! Perfect. You look like a million Rupees." Ryou giggled at the sight of his brother in fairy green. Bakura just sulked. "I'm hot," he said. "I'll suffocate, and people will laugh at me." His mother sighed, and Ryou did a fake pout. "You can't suffocate before you open my present! Here." Bakura looked at the funny-shaped present stuffed in his hands. Slowly, he unwrapped it, to find a beat-up telescope. "Um...thanks, Ryou. I'ts..um...just what I've always wanted."But Ryou was shaking his head. "No! It's my most treasured posession. You can only have it for a day! So don't get too attached to it!" Bakura silently thanked the gods that he wouldn't have to use this thing day after day, just to show Ryou how much he loved it. "Oh, ok. Hey, why don't we go to the watchtower and try it out now?" Ryou nodded vigorously, then looked at his mother. "Can I, mom? Pleeeeeeease?" Of course, faced with her son's pleading, Ryou's mother quickly agreed. "Ok, but be back by dinner, because we're having a special birthday celebration, and--" But when she looked up, the two brothers were already out the door.
Up at the watchtower, Bakura fumbled with the controls of the second-hand telescope. After finally makng it work, he put his eye to the lense and searched the skies for something interesting. 'Hmm...cloud...pigeon...postbox...giant bird...cloud...Wait, GIANT BIRD?!' He quickly focused back on the bird, and with a gasp, both he and Ryou realized something horrible....
