Me: Ok, back to business. This chapter may be a bit short but that's cuz it's like a part of a chapter. I know. IT'S A HALFLING!

Frodo (from Lord of the Rings): That's not funny…

Me: Anyway, READ ON MY FAITHFUL READERS!

Sleep had finally caught up with me. After a sleeping a maximum of about six hours a day, I was finally tired. And I could clearly tell that when I woke up at 11:40 am rather than the usual 6-7:30am wake up schedule. And to think, of all days to sleep late it was today! I had to be at Malik's house in twenty minutes!

So I jumped out of bed, threw on some clothes and inhaled breakfast (which was some bread and water). Thoughts of that kiss drifted in and out of my mind, as I got ready to go to Malik's house. This was a dream come true. A trip to Egypt and a cute guy that liked me back. Still, that sense of wary drifted over me and I couldn't help but think: All dreams must end, when will this one end?

I shook my head as I stuffed all the notes I had on the tomb into my backpack. Then I ran out of the door and towards Malik's house.

Yuugi woke up that morning feeling great. He looked at his other friends who still slept. Yet again Ryou was missing. I hope he doesn't miss the trip home Yuugi thought. Jounouchi was murmuring in his sleep, something about pizza and other food items. Honda snored peacefully and not a sound was heard from Anzu.

Yuugi could only smile. In an hour they'd be heading towards Malik's house to continue the study of what Trinity discovered in the tomb.

Still, where was Ryou?

((Hey Aibou. What are you so worried about? And don't say nothing because I can sense your worry))

That was Yuugi's other self, Yami, for you. Always looking after his Aibou. He could almost always sense what Yuugi was feeling as part of the bond they shared.

(It's Ryou. I haven't seen him in a few days and I'm beginning to wonder what happened to him)

((Hmm, interesting. Maybe it has something to do with the spirit in his Millennium Item or maybe he just wants to be alone))

(Ok…)

((There's something else you should worry about))

(What?)

((Getting to Malik's House on time. You have thirty minutes))

(Oh yeah! Thanks other me!)

Yami just smiled to himself while Yuugi rushed about getting the others up and ready.

"Anzu, Honda! Wake up!" Yuugi said loudly, shaking the said people awake.

Murmurs and complaints uttered from the two teens' mouths but they were soon up and getting dressed.

"Jounouchi wake up! We're going to be late! C'mon get up!" Yuugi yelled while he tried to wake up his buddy.

"Here I'll wake him up, you go get ready," Honda said.

Yuugi nodded and went to go get some real clothes on while Honda went and got some cold water.

"Honda, what are you going to do with that?" Anzu said, watching Honda walk up to Jounouchi with the cup of water.

"This," Honda said, dumping the cold water on Jounouchi's face.

"HONDA!" Jounouchi yelled.

Honda immediately played innocent while Anzu sweat dropped.

"Honda we're supposed to be getting ready, not fooling around," Anzu said.

Yuugi came out wearing leather muscle shirt with long pants. The Millennium Puzzle hung around his neck.

"So, you guys ready?" Yuugi asked.

"What? Oh yeah…getting ready hang on guys," Jounouchi said getting up and grabbing some clothes to put.

"Come on. We're gonna be late!" Anzu exclaimed, heading out of the room.

"Wait up!" Honda called after her.

"Jounouchi-kun you better hurry up, we're leaving," Yuugi called.

"I'm coming!" Jounouchi said, stumbling out of the bathroom with one shoe on and the other one getting on.

Yuugi left the room as Jounouchi stuffed some bread in his mouth and put his other shoe on.

"So, our plans will finally be complete. The pharaoh will finally be destroyed," A voice in the darkness said.

"Yes, my friend. And with all the Millennium Items close at hand we will have no problem getting them. The only two that may be difficult to gain are those owned by the man named Shadi. But I have my ways," Malik said, holding up the Millennium Rod.

There was something about the way he looked and talked that made him seem like someone other than Malik.

"Yes, I know you do. We will be obtaining the Millennium Puzzle soon I presume?" the figure said, stepping forward. It was Bakura, the other self of Ryou.

"The small boy and the pharaoh's soul will be dead soon and my father avenged! We will be unstoppable after we gain the last millennium items. The world will bow down to us, my friend, and the earth shall tremble!" Malik said triumphantly, a crazed look shone in his eye. (ACK! EVIL DUBBED VOICE! GET OUTTA MY HEAD! OUT! *Dies* x.x)

"I cannot wait. I will be here in the shadows, waiting. The others are coming soon. No?" Bakura asked, smirking.

"Yes, they are on their way. Stepping blindly into the trap that has been laid before them," Malik said, grinning in an evil way.

The trap was ready and waiting. In about five minutes it would go off. In five minutes something would happen. Something unexpected. Now to wait….

Yes, I realize that was short but it's like one of the only short chapters in this story. The next chapter WILL be longer, I can assure you that much.
