"Maybe we should look for a trail to follow," Anzu suggested.
"That sounds like a good idea, that way we won't be lost," Ryou commented.
"We'll find a trail, but we won't stay on it, we'll just walk in the direction the trail leads," Yami said.
"Why not?" Jou asked
"It would be too easy for the soldiers to find us if we were walking on a trail in plain view," was the answer.
The friends searched for a trail that they could follow to get back to the castle. They found one just over the hill of were they were standing and followed it to a forest. When they came to the forest they moved away from the trail. They checked to make sure that they were still going in the right direction every once in a while, but it usually didn't matter anyway since the trail took no unusual turns.
Once, however, when they came into view to make sure they were on the right track they were spotted. They were spotted by no other than Bakura and his gang of thieves. The friends didn't know this at first and continued on there way. Even Yugi's excellent hearing didn't pick up the sound of their pursuers for his friends were talking rather loudly.
Suddenly an arrow came out of, what seemed to them, no where. It missed them by no more than an inch. They all looked around and saw only the trees that hid them. Before anyone could do anything else more arrows rained down on them. Everyone ran for the cover of the trees.
Yami got out his bow and arrows. He tried to see what direction the arrows were coming from. This would have worked if Bakura's men were not in a full circle around them.
"Yami shoot in that direction," Yugi whispered. He could hear Bakura shouting orders for his men to follow and knew what direction it came from. Yami obeyed and shot his arrow in the direction Yugi had pointed.
A scream was heard only a few seconds after Yami let go of the string. A few seconds after the scream was heard Bakura fell out of a tree and into view. All except Yugi were surprised by his appearance for Yugi could tell who he was their when he heard the voice.
Yami got out his dagger and walked over the jumbled roots that littered the forest floor over to were Bakura fell. He held the dagger up to Bakura's neck and said "If anyone shoots another arrow or hurts any of us in any way your leader dies."
Yugi who didn't like the idea of anyone dieing decided to try something different. "Come down from the trees and either leave in peace or join us to help reclaim the kingdom," He said. Bakura's men came down from the trees.
To Yugi's surprise, one of the men said "We would be honored to join you to reclaim the kingdom."
"Really?" Yugi asked
"Yes," One of the other men said.
"Why?"
"A man named Marik came to our camp and said that we would not be able to live in this country since we had allowed you to escape," Bakura answered.
"Then why did you attack us?"
"We thought that you were some of his soldiers since he is with you," Bakura said pointing to Seto. "We could not see you fully until you stepped into this clearing were I fell."
"It makes sense," Ryou said as Yami removed the dagger from Bakura's throat.
"Yes, but what doesn't make sense is why you look so much like me," Bakura said to Ryou.
"I don't understand that either, unless…" Ryou trailed of.
"Unless what?" Bakura asked.
"Well once when I was little I heard my dad talking of someone."
"What did he say?"
"He said 'I miss that rascal. I wish we weren't so hard on him.'"
"What does that have to do with me?"
"It seemed to me like he was talking of a lost son…"
"So you think I am the one that he was talking of."
"Yes"
"It's possible, I don't remember much of my childhood and what I do remember seems to fit in with your theory."
"So you two are brothers?" Yugi asked.
"We don't know for sure, but my father will be able to tell us if it is true or not," Ryou said.
"We should get going," Yami said, "Do any of you know the way to the castle?"
"Yes, follow us," Bakura said.
Yugi was very happy. The little group that started on the journey had just gotten bigger and bigger. He knew it wasn't enough to defeat Malik's soldiers, but if they got the people out of the castle, they might stand a chance.

I hope you liked it
I wrote this at three different times so if the parts don't seem to fit into each other than it's because I was thinking differently
