Yami Bakura woke up hours later. He studied the damage that was done to him during the fight. His legs, arms, back and chest were covered in soft bandages; he swore he looked like he had been mummified. All the events that occured a few hours ago were a blur to him. Small images remained. He glanced around the darkened room. No sigh of Malik, Yami Malik, or Bakura.

Bakura.

What had happened to him? Yami Bakura remembered saving him. So, if he had, where was Bakura now. The clock beside Yami Bakura's bed read 3:30am. How long had he been out for?

His head began to throb in pain. His didn't have a headache or any bandages there. He couldn't understand where this pain had come from.

He finally got up and looked out the window. The night sky was calm and cloudless. The full moon shone brightly.

Yami Bakura walked over to the door and opened it. He wandered down the hallway to the Study.

He opened the door a bit. bakura sat by the fire, scribbling something in a book.

The report. How could Yami Bakura have forgotten? Bakura had been writing it sence they came to Egypt.

Yami Bakura scaned the room. No one else was in sight.

* Good,* He thought. Easier to talk to Bakura when no one was around. Yami Bakura got Bakura's attention.

^*Bakura!*^

Bakura looked around. **What?**

^*You okay?*^

**Um, ya. I think.**

^*You look okay...*^

**Are you really Yami Bakura?**

^*What makes you say that?*^

**You sound worried.**

^*Is that odd to you?*^

**Very...**

^*I'm just relieved your okay.*^

**Why shouldn't i be?**

^*Cause Anna....... she tried. to kill you. last night. before midnight.....*^

**Anna? Why her?**

^*You didn't notice how worried she was when you were hurt?*^

**No.**

^*Her real name is Kakari. I knew her 5000 years ago.*^

**Really?**

^*Yes. I have much to explain.......*^

" Then explain!" A voice yelled.

Bakura and his yami loked at the person. Yami walked out of the shadows.

" You have alot of explaining to do," Yami said.

The rest of the group sat around Yami Bakura as he told the story; about Kakari, about how he killed her when he learned of her plan, about her real plan to distroy the world with the help of the Millennium items, about her curse to kill any reincarnation of Yami Bakura. He also explained that she must have possesed Saidi in order to kill Bakura before kakari took a physical form.

" So she threatened to kill you reincarnation when she returned?" Tea asked.

" Yes........"

" That's terrible!" Mai yelled.

" I know........"

" Why didn't you tell anyone?" Yugi asked.

" How can you expect a tomb robber just to come forward and addmit that he has screwed up his hikari's life?!" Yami Bakura yelled. Talking about this made him madder.

" he has a good point Yami," Malik said, staring at yami with accusing eyes. Bakura looked at him yami. Was he actually saying that he had feelings for him? After all the beatings and pain he had caused his, he had just a few feelings for him.

Yami sighed. " Then that clears up some stuff."

Tea remembered something. " oh wait! I found something before we left."

Tea brought out a large ancient looking book. Yami Bakura paused.

" kakari's spell book," he whispered quietly. " How did you get it?"

" I just picked it up," Tea shrugged. " We want you to look at the page that it was open to."

Yami bakura checked it, his face turned from serious to very angry and he broke out in a bunch of rants, all of which were in ancient egyptian. Bakura looked at the floor sadly, thinking he had done something wrong. Yami Bakura noticed.

" not you! what happened!" Yami Bakura sighed. He sat back down. " This is a very rare curse. it combines two souls so that if one feels pain, the other feels it and vice versa. let me demonstrate." Yami Bakura stood in the center of the room. " Some on attack me. Go on."

Tristan got up and quickly had Yami Bakura's right arm pulled up behind his back. A glass-shattering scream was heard. The group noticed Bakura holding his right arm. He shook terribly and was trying to surpress his screams.

" Tristan, what arm are you holding?" Yami Bakura asked.

" Your right arm......" Tristan swallowed hard.

" And what arm is Bakura holding?"

Tristan let Yami Bakura go. Bakura stopped freaking.

" That's what it does," Yami bakura concluded.

" how long does it last?" Tea asked.

" Forever most of the time but because Kakari was weak at the time, the spell should only last a year."

" So one year without hurting Bakura, how will you survive?" Yami said sarcasticly.

" Shut up!" Yami Bakura snapped.

" I don't believe she stole my idea!" Yami Malik yelled. He looked around to noitce the group staring at him. " oh, i said the quiet part loud again........"

Bakura looked at his yami. " Do you have to kill him now too?"

Yami Bakura shook his head. " no, i have no reason to kill him."

The group sighed. Joey slowly creept out of the room.

He sat in his room and looked at the strange object. He wondered what it held. Was it an unknown millennium item? Did it, like the Puzzle and Ring contain some sort of spirit? Would that spirit be nice like Yami Yugi or abusive like Yami Bakura? Or would it be insane like Yami Malik?

Joey slipped the item around his neck. Then he blacked out.

Joey wandered down and into the dining hall a few hours later. The others were eating lunch and began to act wierd as Joey began to gorge on food.

" Joey, what are you doing?" Mai asked.

" eating....." The only responce they got out of Joey.

Bakura looked at Joey oddly. Yami suspected something.

" Yami Bakura, grab him!"

Yami Bakura did that and dragged Joey into the den. Weevil got some rope and tied Joey to a chair.

" So Joey, we know you never eat that much in 30 seconds. Who are you and what did you do with the real Joey?" Mai demanded.

" Nothing! You can't prove i'm not the real Joey!"

Yami Bakura walked over to Joey and pulled on a gold chain. He lifted the item off of Joey's neck.

" Well, so Joey seems to have found something," Yami Bakura smiled.

" Hey! give it back!" Joey yelled.

" Not until you tell us what you did to Joey!" Yugi yelled back.

Joey sighed.

" I really have no name, i'm from Egypt and i'm known as an assaian. Got a problem with that?!"

" Then let Joey go!" Yugi yelled.

the spirit let Joey go by separating into a false form.

" What, where am i?" Joey asked.

" Your in the den Joey," Yugi assured Joey.

The second Joey looked around. " What is this place? what is that?" He pointed at the TV.

" That's a TV, you watch stuff on it," Yami Malik explained.

" Stuff? Like what?"

" Horror movies, mystery movies, suspence, angst....," Yami Bakura went on.

" Then there's comedy, romance, sci-fi..." Tea continued.

" Odd. What day is this?"

" You mean, what year......" Rex said.

" Year?"

" Yes, this is the year 2002........." Bakura said.

The second Joey passed out.

" Hey? Hello? Is he okay?"

The second Joey stirred slightly, hearing voices of concern around him. He opened his eyes and saw them staring at him.

" are you okay?" Bakura asked.

" yea to some extent......."

" That's good to hear." Bakura got up and walked out of the room. The second Joey looked at the others.

" What are you going to call you?" Yami asked.

" Dunno..."

" Well if your Yami Yugi, Bakura's yami is Yami Bakura, and mine is Yami Malik, why can't he be Yami Joey?" Malik suggested.

" Never thought of that," Yami replied.

" for once......." Malik said.

" Hey!" Yami yelled.

Malik just laughed, long and loud. Yami smacked Malik in the back of the head to shut him up. The others laughed

Yami Bakura apporched Bakura and whispered something to him. Bakura nodded and check to make sure no one, especially Yami, noticed. Yami Bakura walked off as Isis walked in.

" So, Shadi tells me we have another Yami," Isis said. "Who's the lucky abitou?"

" Joey," Yugi said.

" So, Joeys the lucky

Miles out in the desert, Bakura and Yami Bakura approched a large cliff made of stable sand. They sat down and looked over the edge at the vast desert. Bakura liked the feeling of the warm sand beneath him. Yami Bakura pointed out what this place was.

" When i was younger, i came here all the time," He explained. " I watched people from distant lands come across the vast desert."

On the horizon, was the pyrimids and a what appered to be the ruins of a once crowded town. Bakura loved how this looked. especially when the sun was setting over what, to Yami Bakura, was known as the land of the dead.

Yami Bakura looked at Bakura.

" Can i see your left hand?" he asked.

Bakura held out his hand but a few second later, he pulled his hand back and painfully looked at the palm. Red blood flowed out of it, down his hand, his wrist and onto the golden sand. Looking at his yami, Bakura noticed that Yami Bakura did the same on his right hand. Yami Bakura then took Bakura's left hand and placed the cuts on their hands together. Bakura looked at his Yami.

" In ancient times, and i believe now, this is what you call, an exchange of blood," Yami Bakura said.

" You mean like blood brothers?" Bakura corrected.

" Yes."

They looked at each other. Bakura began to believe that maybe Yami was wrong about Yami Bakura.

The next day the group prepared to leave back to Domino City. Leaving the quiet and calm Nile and back to the rush of Domino City.

Unfortunatly, another scream was heard. Everyone looked at the palace to see Malik run out, a bag in hand, he dived intot he back seat of one car along side Bakura and his Yami.

" You gotta help me!" malik pleaded.

" What happened?" Bakura asked.

" Isis' is gonna kill me!" Malik explained.

" Why?"

" Cause she thinks i stole her item," Malik added.

" So i guess i can't keep this?" Yami Bakura held up the tank, an item that had the eygptian eye and two side curved lines.

" You moron!" Malik screamed. " Isis isn't gonna kill me! She'll kill you!"

" I'm already dead brainless!" Yami Bakura snapped back.

Isis ran out, waving her fist in anger. Bakura grabbed the tank from Yami Bakura and got out of the car. He walked over to Isis and returned the item. she yelled on more thing at Malik, to not cause any problems in Domino City.

The plane ride was worse. Mostly for Kaiba.

" are we there yet?"

" No."

" are we there yet?"

" No."

" are we there yet?"

" No."

" are we there yet?"

" No."

" are we there yet?"

" No."

" are we there yet?"

" Malik! Shut up!"

Silence. " Are we..."

Yugi was cut off by Yami's hand over Yugi's mouth.

" I am so happy to be back in a country that understands make-up!" Mai yelled into the empty foyea of the mansion that night.

" Mai, you know the ancient Egyptians had make-up," Tea replied.

" Well, it was too hot there!" Mai yelled back. She was already haveway up the stairs, heading for her room with Rex and Weevil carrying her many bags behind her. " All my mascara melted!"

A sigh went throught the house. Mokuba headed into the den to play video games. Bakura went to his room to get some sleep. the plane ride was too crazy and hectic for Bakura to get any sleep. Off and on, malik bugging kaiba, yugi dueling anyone he come in contact with, and winning every match. Yami Bakura, Yami Joey and malik starting having a few drinks, resulting in Yami Bakura getting a hangover.

" Hey guys!" Mokuba ran out. " I got a race going! Who's in?"

" ME!!!!!!" Kaiba, Joey, Malik, and Yami ran off with Mokuba, leaving Yugi and Joey standing in the room. Yami Bakura, still completely drunk, had fallen asleep on the stairs trying to go to bed.

" I feel sad for him," Yugi said.

" Why's dat yug?" Joey asked.

" Well, it's true that Ancient Egyptians drank but i think Yami Bakura under estimated the newer beers on the market," Yugi explained.

" Da crazy guy can't even get into a liquor store," Joey remined Yugi.

" Yea, that why he's always ending up with a hangover," Tea had come back from watching the boys attempt to beat Yami at a video game. " He thinks he is at a lack of it so whenever he can get any, he over does it."

" No wonder Bakura is usually missing from school," Joey looked at Yugi.

The group nodded and decided to head off to bed, helping Yami bakura at least find a bed to sleep in.
