Chapter 6

Disclaimer..uh..Well, to put it lightly, if I did own YGO!, then my name would be Kazuki Takahashi. Which it isn't... OH! And I own Tetra.

AND I didn;t exactly get all 14 reviews I wanted. I only got 12! Come on, I know you can do this! Just press that purple button that says GO!

I told him! *does dance* He didn't believe me! (I'm talking about my dad) You see... these little black ants- REALLY little black ants, have been slowly invading our kitchen. I found one, killed it, and told dad. He didn't believe. And I warned him-
"With at first one, many will come."
And whadya know? Two days later, I found two more. Know he believes me... but the invasion of the ants has begun! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! They CAN'T take my sugar. I won't let them! *starts to cuddle jar labled sugar* No..I won't let em...

Spiders. Hundreds of them. And according to Bakura, they have a taste for flesh...
What's worse is that Bakura now has this little evil look in his eye.

"You aren't thinking of shoving me in there are you?"

There. I said it out loud. For a moment he just stared, but then he started to laugh.

"Why would I do that?"

[Ok, now I'm stuck. How the heck am I supposed to answer to that?]
Lucky for me, he just kept talking.

"Hah. Well, I COULD do that, but I have a safer idea. Watch this."

He threw the torch into the crawling bunch of spiders. It flickered for a second, then one by one all the little spiders caught on fire...

Bakura laughed like it was the funniest thing he'd heard all day.

"Oh, if only spiders could scream!"

{Right...he has a slightly cracked sense of humor, but I guess it is sort of amusing to watch them writher into dust...]

"Bakura, if they could, we'd be deaf."

Bakura laughed even harder. Then he picked up the torch before it burnt itself out. He looked at me and smirked.

"This is just like it was in the old days. And we haven't even gotten to the fun part either."

"And what would 'the fun part' be?" I asked.

"Better, scarier traps."

My fear returned.

"Like how scarier?"

"Enough so that you'll be begging me to let you out."

[I won't say a word. Nope not a word.]

"Really..." I said sarcastically.

We kept going down the corridor until we came to a fork in it. One went left, one right, and the middle kept going dead center. I looked to Bakura to see which one we were going to take. He seemed to be trying to remember something.

"Tetra, do you remember when I said that I never got to finish my work? Well, this is it. The spot where I was captured, and taken prisoner to that idiot of a pharaoh."

He looked at me, and I think he may have been a little excited.

"So?" I asked curiously, wanting him to continue.

"So... I have no idea what's ahead of us, and I don't know which corridor to take on my own."

"What do you mean?"

"I could always have my millennium ring show me which path to take, but I wouldn't know what was down that path. What path would you take? What would you do?"

I thought my answer carefully. Well, one would think it was too obvious for it to be the center. So using reverse psychology, it would be smart to take that path. And I think most people in Egypt were right handed, so they'd go right. Again, reverse psychology would say to go left. But tomb robbers knew about reverse psychology, so the only one that isn't obvious would be the right.

Ok, my logic is strange, and I'm getting a headache. But it makes sense. And there is always the "what ifs" of life. Right. I'd go right. No need to explain my thinking because you never want to talk too much at once to someone with a short temper.

"I'd go right."

Bakura nodded and pulled out his millennium ring.

"If it points right then we go right, because two correct answers has to lead the correct way."

"And if not...?"

"Then we'll have to go down each one and retrace our steps." he said like it was the most obvious answer in the world.

I thought my logic was strange. But how did he make sense of that? The millennium ring started to glow on his chest, then float slightly, and it jingled like bells when the pointers clicked together. After what seemed like a millennium in itself it suddenly pointed right.

[How does that thing work? It doesn't even have a brain."

"Then we're going right," Bakura said, "but watch your step and stay close because I don't know what's down there."

"Right."

So, trusting the powers of the ring and my logic we started down the right hall. There was nothing for a long time so I just looked at the hieroglyphics. They just made me wonder why Bakura had been a tomb robber in the first place. Yes it was fun, and you probably got rich quickly, but gee... its DANGEROUS. And I don't think they had health insurance back then.

The hieroglyphics started to have pictures of duel monsters. I know from a few bad encounters of mine with the power of other millennium items that they were indeed duel monsters. A few hieroglyphics Isis taught me showed up. "Shadow realm" and "duel monsters" most often. It made me wonder what was down this hall.

Anyways. The ideas for Malik wanting Tetra are:
hostage against pharaoh *poo. I don't want to KILL Tetra by taking her to Malik*
OR
he likes her *which I think is much better. though I'm not a mushy writer...*

It could be even a little of both. Which do you like better, and what do you think should happen? *o.O where do I get these evil ideas*

And about Bakura's punishment for being a tomb-robber, I did some research before I wrote that, and that would have really happened. That or he could have lost a few appendages, including his nose. I dunno, I don't think they really had a choice of what happened to them after they got caught. Should I have Tetra ask Bakura exactly how he got caught?

And what about Yugi and the others? Will they find Bakura? Reviews please, I want 18 now. *evilness, i know* But I'm pushing you guys, and that's just how it works. ^.~*

OH! And you guys, you REALLY have to visit Chikorita's Trainers story! The main character is just like anyone of us! And she gets to meet Malik in a few chapters..oooh...! And she needs reviews. I INSIST you visit her story. NOW! *growls at non reviewers*
