Ashi's POV

"I order that the two be killed on sight!!" Those were the commands. I didn't know then what would happen because of those words. I would of never dreamed of it.

As Bakura and Mai ran through the palace to get the remaining millennium items, kill the Pharaoh, and make sure they got a meal, soldiers surrounded them.

Malik slowly walked out of the group of soldiers. "You killed my sister, you bastard!!" Bakura grinned. "Yeah, well, she had it coming." Bakura then felt a dagger in his chest. "My sister was more than you'll ever be." Malik then stepped back, taking the dagger with him. "Leave him to die with his girlfriend."

Malik had stabbed Bakura in the heart, no way could he live on. He turned to Mai. "Mai. . ." He took of the Millennium Ring, putting it around Mai's neck. "I want you to take care of the Ring and Ashi for me. I'm sorry I couldn't always be there for you. I would of, but I couldn't. I want you to get the millennium items and run. Run far away with Ashi. Live happily. . .Good-Bye, Mai." Then, he died.

Mai closed her eyes tightly. "Bakura. . ." She then looked up angrily. "I won't let you down." She stood up, slipping her hand into one of Bakura's pockets, pulling out a dagger. "I won't fail you now. . ." She then ran up behind Malik. "Oh Malik. . ." She then wrapped her arm around his neck and cut his throat before running off to the millennium chamber.

She grabbed the scale and eye before running again. This time to Set's Chamber.

As soon as Set saw Mai, he lifted the rod. "Mai, what are you doing here?" Mai grinned evilly. "I've come to take what belongs to me." She then pounced at Set, stopped in her attack, went under the rod, and stabbed him in the neck. "I'm sorry, Set." She then withdrew her dagger, picking up the rod.

Slowly, Mai snuck into the Pharaoh's Chamber. 'I've got the rod, scales, eye, ring, ahnk, and Ashi will protect the tauk. . .All I need is the puzzle.' Mai then slunk around in the shadows behind the Pharaoh. "Say good- night, Pharaoh." She then slit his throat. She took the puzzle and ran off.

"Ashi, I want you to take care of these items. I want you to run, run far away. Never return. Your father is gone. They will soon be after you. Run, never return. . ."

I blinked. I took the items and put them in my pockets and around my neck, then I noticed the ring. "No, Mai. You keep the Ring." I put the ring back on Mai's neck. "Never forget him, or me. . ." I then ran, leaving Mai alone.

Mai smiled to herself. "It's time I go now too." She rose the dagger to her throat and ended her life.

"That's how the legend goes. No one knows for sure. The only person who does is the Tomb-Robber and Apprentice Priestess." Isis looked over to Bakura. "You remember Ashi, don't you?" Bakura looked away. He never wanted to be reminded of his past, of Mai, or of Ashi. Never again. . .
