Chapter 5
Disclaimer: I make NO money from this, don't own YGO, and I'm only doing this because its fun. I DO own Tetra. (stupid. lawyers. make. me. want. to. puke.)
That said, this will be a good chapter! Don't leave, we are just getting started! *and* I just found what city the Great Pyramid is in, along with the others. Not Cairo, not the Valley of the Kings, but Gaza! (switch story to Gaza- not wherever we were before- I'm to lazy to change chapter three)

"Tomb robbing."
That's what he said.
[Grr...]
He wants me to come, I don't know why. I can feel it. Why else would he be "nice" enough to "invite" me tomb robbing? It just isn't normal! But then, why are my feet still walking him with him? Part of me wants to go. The part that likes danger and adventure. I don't know where we are even going.
Well, that's not entirely true. We're in the good old city of Gaza. He probably LIVED here 5,000 years ago, and knows it by heart. That and some of the most loaded pyramids stand less than four miles away...
[Well I wanted this didn't I? DIDN'T I?]
"Bakura- if you don't mind me calling you that -where exactly are we going?"
"You'll see."
He could be so stubborn. I wonder what month he was born in. Probably May, like me, to have such a cruddy attitude problem. (a/n: I was looking at astrology books- sorry)
The shadows we were sneaking in and out of were flickering on Bakura's silver hair. I followed him, I don't know why, but I guess I was trusting him, somewhere in me. But what happens when we reach Malik? Malik is the most creepy person I know.
Bakura stopped walking slightly out of the small city's borders. There was a great expanse of desert between us and the pyramids.
[I am NOT going out in that desert.]
But to my surprise, Bakura took a left at the end of the last fence, and stopped in front of two dead trees. They looked ancient. Using his feet, Bakura kicked away some sand in the shape of large square between the trees. And to my surprise, there was a wooden board underneath! He lifted up and over a little, revealing steps, that he'd probably dug himself 5,000 years ago.
He walked right into the darkness below the steps. I just stood there.
[We must be taking a back entrance. That has GOT to be it.]
"Are you coming?"
I walked down into the darkness myself and Bakura pulled the lid all the way back over the entrance from below.
"Won't someone notice?" I asked, my eyes slowly adjusting to the light.
"No. Every morning a sand storm comes through, and it will recover the entrance."
He walked past me, down the tunnel, to what I could only make out to be a hand-made shelf with supplies on it.
The air smelled old. Dead even. But good, like the dirt you used to play in when you were a kid. A nice earthy smell. Yet rotten, and foul. The air in the tunnel was like one you would find in a crypt. Which was sort of exactly what we were walking ourselves into. Part of me still trusted Bakura, and I definantly couldn't lift the board to get out if I was paid to.
My eyes were now fully adjusted to the darkness, and Bakura had grabbed two cantines full of water. Probably old and undrinkable water, but one could probably say the same thing about the air to be unbreathable, so I said nothing. He shoved both the canteens at me and ordered me to carry them. [What? Am I his slave now or something?] But I didn't say anything.
He grabbed a large stick leaned up against the wall and lit it. It flooded the passageway with light.
"Follow me. Now remember- keep up!"
I frowned, I didn't like being ordered to do things by anyone other than my parents or teachers at school. [But this will be fun!] I reminded myself. [You get to be a tomb robber tonight. ...how did I get myself into these messes?]
We walked down the tunnel, Bakura leading the way. But soon the dirt passage stopped and brick began. Stepping onto the brick, I noticed that Bakura must've dug right into one of the tomb's corridors. I mean really- the walls were COVERED in hieroglyphics.
I looked at them, all the while following Bakura, who looked like he was probably talking to Ryou. Or yelling, or arguing, or just about anything else, but he could have just been deep in thought. Its hard to tell with yamis. Suddenly he turned his over his shoulder,
"Now I hope you don't get scared tonight."
"Scared, Bakura? Of what?"
He just smirked evilly and turned around.
I suddenly heard a skittering noise, like a lot of things moving at once. ALOT of things moving at once.
"Bakura what's that noise?" I asked with a hint of fear in my voice.
I mean, after all, a few minutes ago it was silent as a library.
"Oh nothing much. Just a couple of little spiders."
"Sp-spiders!?"
Suddenly I stepped on something and it went squish, then crack.
"Ok, Bakura, a couple of spiders. I think I just stepped on one."
"Nah, there's more."
I turned pale. I HATE spiders.
The noise of lots of feet moving became louder as Bakura and I turned a corner. Well, I must admit I was right, it WAS a lot of moving things. The moving things being 2 inch spiders. About a million of them, all along the floor, down 15 feet of corridor. And there was no way I was coming any closer to them.
Bakura laughed at my fear of spiders.
"Just a couple of spiders. Its a trap to keep tomb robbers away. But there's something special about these spiders."
He paused.
"They're man-eating little spiders. One doesn't do much harm, but walk in there- and you'd be eaten. Alive."
"How comforting. Trust me Bakura, I have no intention of getting any closer to those horrid spiders."
Of all traps there could have been, I wasn't ready for this one. And if its the first one, will the next be worse? Bakura's the tomb robber here. He wouldn't let them eat me? Would he?
Bakura grinned evilly.
I didn't quite trust him anymore...
=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=
Finally! We're in the traps! I'd LOVE to tell you how they get past the spiders, but only reviews will let me. I want 14! ^.^ Please review! And no-ones getting eaten yet! But I need a little help: I don't know why Malik wants Tetra. HELP! ^.~* Review by clicking the little purple button on the bottom left corner that says, "GO!" ^^'
