I'd like to thank her again for being my little editor! ^_^
Now on with the fic!!

The young light looked up at the pharaoh, with a slightly nervous expression tainting his beautiful face; yet none the less determined. Sapna looked a little surprised as she sipped her smoothie curious what her past lover had to say.
"About what, Yami?" Bakura questioned. Yami smiled reassuring it wasn't anything rash.
"Well, I really don't know how to say this without your yami knowing, but I know I will have to get this information to you somehow. In order for us to properly watch over Yami Bakura, we need to separate you two into bodies of your own. In order to do this, we must grant him some of the power he craves." Yami looked his friend directly into his chocolate eyes. A glimmer of sorrow appeared in the silver-haired boy; even though the others never saw the other side of Yami Bakura, he did. And his yami was like an older brother to him. He didn't want his dark to get hurt if he could help it. But he knew his best friends royal yami wouldn't hurt anyone unless they deserved it. But… the tomb robber did have his shares of wrong doing…
"…Getting rid of him?" Bakura raised an eyebrow.
"Well.. I just want to keep watch over him, so he doesn't hurt you, or anyone else." Yami's gaze instantly flew over to his lady lover. Causing Sapna to flush slightly.
"He's not that bad of a guy, he never acts like that when it's just us at home." The hikari defended.
"Bakura, you must understand, he could've been the one to summon my palace! Ra knows what trouble is going to be caused with that monstrosity there!" Bakura frowned at these words. But, he had to consider; allowing his dark his own body would be slightly wise. It would make him happy and he wouldn't have to share a body.
"Alright, how do we give separate?"
"Well, as Yugi and I have done we used to powers of both Millennium items, the Tauk and our puzzle. I will agree to loan some of the puzzle's power to your ring in order to separate your minds and bodies. We just need a time and place for this." The pharaoh commanded, fitting his title.
"Alright." Bakura agreed. Yugi decided to take his turn in speaking next.
"How about, later on tonight?" His amethyst eyes sparkling as the morning sunshine glittered into them through the window. Sapna mentally frowned, tonight would be the night she could talk to Mahlissa, and she wanted, or rather needed to be there when the hikari and yami were separated.
"Alright, tonight it is." Bakura commented. The three teens' conversation turned for the better, as the Indian Queen remained quiet. Her eyes glazed over in thought. She finally came to a decision she would have to meet Mahlissa and be there for the separation. She wondered if Mahlissa would be there now? She decided to take that chance and see.
"Um.. My sincere apologies.. But I must be somewhere…" Sapna said nervously as she put her dishes in the sink quickly rushed out of the house. Yami, Yugi and Bakura looked beyond puzzled.

Sapna quickly closed the door behind her, then picked her long heavy skirt up into her hands and was finally off to the park. As she paced herself down the cement walkway, she had an eerie feeling someone was watching her. She stopped, whirling around in all directions, fluttering her long black eyelashes. She raised an eyebrow when her gaze was futile. She quickly picked her skirt up once more and continued her journey. Finally, she had reached the spot, the most beautiful place in the whole park. It consisted of a small pond and a few trees and a small clearing large enough for a few people to sit at. She was very surprised however, when she saw the back of the familiar crimped blonde hair.
"Mahlissa?" Sapna inquired. This just couldn't be right? Even though she was hoping to find her here, it just couldn't be possible! How'd she know to be here? The female turned, confirming to be Mahlissa. She blinked a few times before she spoke.
"Ah, your highness! What brings you here so early?" her voice sang. The dark haired girl raised an eyebrow mentally. Was she calling her 'highness' as mockery or genuine respect?
"Well, I was hoping to find you here, there are some important events taking place tonight that I truly need to be present for." Sapna's bell-clad jewelry tinkled as she sat next to the mysterious teenager.
"I see. Well, Ileana is at a friends house so I had extra time to come here and though I should wait until you appeared, but I see our minds think alike in coming early." She smiled kindly at her frowning friend. "What's the matter?"
"The reason for my early attendance, is… later on tonight… Bakura the tomb robber shall have his own body."
"What?! And has Ya- er… the Pharaoh agreed to do this?" Sapna widened her eyes briefly, how did she know the Pharaoh is living today, and how did she know his name? She probably recognized him at the dance, nothing to worry about.
"Yes, it was discussed this morning over breakfast."
"And the hikari even agreed? Did the spirit show himself?"
"Yes, and no." Sapna's curiosity whether or not she knew the past Bakura was slowly over taking her and she couldn't help but ask. "…Did you know Bakura, back then?"
"Of course. But that doesn't matter." Mahlissa gave a reassuring smile. There she goes again, changing the subject of her past… Sapna thought. "Oh, your highness…"
"Don't worry about it, perhaps with this way there is a chance we can show Bakura whose Queen around here." Sapna giggled at her joke, Mahlissa's smile widened.
"Your highness, if you do not mind me mentioning, but I think now is the time for you to get acquainted with your magic?" Sapna stared at her in awe and a small excitement only a child could get. Suddenly there was a rustling in the bushes.
"What was that?" Sapna asked, whirling around.
"I'm not too sure, keep your eyes open."
"I had a sense someone was following me on my way here."
"That's never good…" Before Mahlissa could finish what she was about to say, a cloaked figure with the eye of Horrus on the hood grabbed Sapna from behind, holding something that looked like the millennium Rod in it's dagger form. Sapna screamed in uncomfort and fear of once again being in someone's clutches.
"MAHLISSA!!" Sapna opened her eyes seeing that her friend was also busy, although she was physically fighting them, but there were too many! They quickly held her struggling form.
"Your highness! Fight them!!" Sapna tried, but no matter what she could do this one holding her seemed to be too strong. She struggled with all her might, her belled jewelry twinkling in a sick sense to the scene. Tears slowly trickled down her cheeks as she was dragged away.
"Mahlissa!!" Sapna choked out once more as her golden hair friend disappeared from her view.
"We don't need her, your highness." Sapna's eyes widened at the figure behind her knew her title. How could he kno- Sapna was suddenly knocked out.
