A/N: Sorry about not posting it last night... something was wrong with the website. I'll have the next chapter posted Friday. Please review.

There's silence after the revelation about them being the owners of the other two millennium items.
I feel two emotions, relief and suspicion.
Relief that me and Kaiba found them quickly, without worrying about wandering Egypt without knowing what Yami Bakura is doing....
and suspicion that we found them so quickly, and that they were waiting for us.
I look at Kaiba, and he's eyeing them warily, obviously having second thoughts about these people.
"Come... you must be tired and hungry from your journey." The man says, "and oh yeah, my name is Josh, and she's Amy." He says, pointing to his companion.
I look at Kaiba, not completely sure what to do. Kaiba starts following them, and I follow a short distance behind.
Kaiba slows down a few minutes later, walking even with me. "So..." He says quietly, so our hosts can't hear us. "What do you think? Do you think that we should trust them?!"
I close my eyes, thinking a while before responding just as quietly, "I don't know... they said Ishizu told them about us coming, but that might be a lie, and also, I just realized that Bakura has the necklace, he might know that we're here."
Kaiba curses softly, apparently not remembering it until I reminded him. "We have to keep our eyes open, and hope that we don't get into trouble." Kaiba says, before striding forward to where the hosts are.
I dawdle behind a few more minutes, looking at the desolate wasteland before sprinting forward to catch up to everyone else who is waiting for me.
"This is our home," Amy says, pointing at a hole in the ground, the only sign of people living there is bricks surrounding the hole, and I look at it nervously, remembering that in the show it leads to tombs, or the Egyptian Gods themselves.
Amy goes first, and I go second, knowing that if me and Kaiba are in trouble, I can more likely hold up better in a fight with the glass, Kaiba right behind me, and Josh taking the rear.
It's silent for several tense moments, me hearing our footsteps and my rapid heartbeat to break it.
"We're here...." Amy says so softly that I don't think anyone else except me heard, it, and the bad feeling that I got when Amy and Josh introduced themselves gets ten times worse.
I turn my head to look at Kaiba...
and get tackled to the ground.
I kick out furiously, my arms already being pinned to my side, and I'm about to transform when I feel the glass being removed from my neck.
"Well... I have to admire you for your stupidity! I didn't actually think that you would fall for our trap!" Amy laughs, and puts on a cloak that one of the men that isn't pinning me and Kaiba to the floor gave her.
My eyes widen in recognition and then shrink in fear of the color, the same color that Yami Bakura's slaves wear.
"Yami Bakura is going to reward us for this!" Josh says gleefully. "And as for the last two items..." He puts his hand in his pocket, pulling out a diamond with the millennium symbol carved on it. "Say hello to the Millennium Diamond, allowing me to transform into Obelisk the Tormentor!"
"And behold!" Amy says, holding up her wrist to show a bracelet with a pendant with the same symbol as the diamond. "I have the Millennium Pendant, which allows me to transform to the Winged Dragon of Ra!"
I pale as I realize that now Yami Bakura has all of the millennium items, and can get Josh, Amy and me to use them, and who knows what will happen to Kaiba during all this.
"Well... now it's time for you two to come back with us to Yami Bakura!" Josh says, laughing cruelly as the men tightly yank ropes around my hands and do the same for Kaiba before yanking us roughly to our feet and shoving us outside.
I pale at the sight of the blimp waiting for us outside, struggling as I'm dragged into it, Kaiba right behind me as we get dragged into a room and tied to chairs, despite our kicking and struggling.
"Well... that was stupid of us." I say after several moments of silence after the slaves leave.
"I'd say so, I'm sorry that I didn't see the sense to avoid them, I thought it was too easy." Kaiba says, I hear him sigh in frustration as I also hear him tug against the tight ropes holding him.
"Don't worry about it, we were both fooled." I say, twisting my head to look at Kaiba, who's tied to a chair behind me. "What are you doing?! I think that these ropes are tight enough so we can barely breathe, let alone get loose."
"Quiet!" Kaiba snaps quietly, and I shut up, realizing that if he does have a plan, I can't blow it by having the guards hear us.
I hear the quiet snapping of ropes, and I hold my breath, hoping that the guards didn't hear the noise, there are no sounds except Kaiba breaking the ropes, and so I relax.
Kaiba walks over to where I am a few minutes later, holding a swiss army knife, "they really should've checked our pockets before they tied us up." He whispers softly, cutting the ropes holding me rapidly, and I stand up. "Any ideas to get out of this room and off this blimp?"
"We have to get the glass back, and if we're lucky enough, we can get the other two millennium items." I ignore Kaiba's snort of disbelief as I continue. "As for getting out..." I pull out a paperclip; "you're not the only one who carries things that come in handy."
As I start to pick the lock on the door, I hear Kaiba say, "do your parents know about you being able to pick locks?"
I snort softly, "yeah, and let my parents never see the light of day again? No... it's my little secret." I hear the click of the door, and it silently swings open. I cautiously poke my head out, "strange, no guards, something's wrong." I look at Kaiba, who's frowning.
"Lets just get out of here before some come along, and keep our eyes open for anyone." Kaiba says softly, walking through the door, me reluctantly following.
We walk for hours, with no signs of guards, and it's starting to make me nervous. "Kaiba... I really think that we should-"
"There!" Kaiba hisses in triumph, pointing to an open door that shows inside my glass in plain view.
Mental alarm bells go off in my head as Kaiba steps forward, "uhh, Kaiba? I don't think that's such a good-"
The door slams shut behind him, cutting off my last words as he's trapped inside the room and I'm outside.
I hear the rapid footsteps, and whirl around to see guards crowding around me on all sides, Josh leading one of the groups, his diamond already out so he can transform.
I gulp.
Kaiba and I are screwed.
