Ok, I haven't updated... Um, *thinks of excuses* It was my Mom's b-day, and YGO was on Saturday morning, and I spent the night at my sister's and watched her kids. So, that was that. I didn't get to update. But now I am!

Oh and:
BMG=Black Magician Girl ^.~*

=*=*=*=*=
[Maybe she can answer some of my questions.]

We walked down the halls for quite a while until we came to a big solid rock door. Knowing basic Egyptian myself, I didn't have to ask to know that the door said to supply a password.

"Password? For a door that I could blow up? I don't think so..."

Bakura was reaching into his pocket to grab a card, but I kept reading.

[Danger! This door leads to a endless pit.]

Ok, Bakura's attention span must be really short for him not to have read that. I looked around the hall and saw it contained other doors. They said similar things on them. Danger, danger, danger...

"Um, Bakura, everydoor says it leads to danger."

"They do that to confuse you. I know the basic halls of this tomb, of course it would say it was dangerous."

I frowned. I would never understand a tomb robber's logic. I can't even explain my own. The Black Magician Girl (BMG), spoke up then and finished my question a little more logically.

"Always follow the straight path first. Besides, this door is different."

[This door is different? How?] The door didn't look any different at all. But what did I know? [Once again, I'm the stupid mortal girl.] I wasn't about to make myself look stupider by asking why.

In front of Bakura there was a light and then some kind of duel monster, which tore down the door. The BMG screamed, causing Bakura to turn around and yell at her to be quiet. But she didn't stop screaming.

The scream throbbed in my ears.It sounded as if she was in pain, but there was no visible sign of anything hurting her. I wanted her to stop screaming, now! I don't care what was wrong, just stop! A strange anger built up inside me, and I screamed back at her.

"Silence! I'm going deaf you idiot!"

The BMG stopped screaming, but bit her lip to stop herself from continuing. She whimpered and grabbed her head, like she was trying to pull her hair out. Seeing something was obviously wrong, I turned to Bakura.

"Whats wrong with her?!"

Bakura shook his head no, making his hair fly in odd angles. He looked at the wall he had just had his monster destroy, and back at the BMG, who's lip was bleeding because she was biting it too hard.

Suddenly she screamed again making my ears feel like spliting.

"Make her stop, Bakura! She's killing my ears!"

Bakura removed one hand from his ears and reached into his pocket and pulled out a blank card. He held it up to the BMG, and she disappeared inside. The screaming stopped abruptly, and I snatched the card from Bakura.

"What was she screaming about? What did you do?" I asked quickly while pocketing the card.

Bakura pointed inside the room to a gold and green casket.

We had broken into the actual tomb of Neramsis! I think the BMG may have been screaming because she was such a tratior she coudn't control herself. She was supposed to prevent us from going here, but she had actually lead us right to it. Poor thing, her balance of right and wrong was killing her.

"I simply put her in the card. We'll let her out later if you insist. But I am NOT going to put up with her screaming. You either."

[Me screaming? I don't think so, tomb robber.]

"Don't touch anything, Tetra."

Bakura leapt over the rubble and started to examine all the shiny gold objects scattered in the room. I shook my head in disbelief. How had we gotten in here without a single signifigant trap? Out of the corner of my eyes a little box shimmered. My curiosity fully curious now, I crawled over the rubble myself and looked at the box carefully.

It had a little latch, and everything on was outlined in gold. Solid gold. Very expensive. The thought tickled in my brain greedily. [No!] I thought to myself sternly, [I will NOT touch or steal it.]

I looked around the room again, but the box was calling to me... It said open me, open me, I know you want to, just undo my latch and open me. I couldn't control my self. I looked around the room to see if Bakura was watching. No, he wasn't. I bit my lip and carefully undid the little gold latch.

[It better not be a music box, or Bakura will kill me for touching it.]

It wasn't. In fact, inside, there was a mirror, a small hair brush looking thing, and earrings. Gold ones. This was an ancient jewlery box! Awesome! I looked at it carefully, and ran my finger along the hairbrush. They actually had jewlery boxes back then. But I noticed something then, the bottem of the box wasn't the bottem. There was a hidden conpartment below the top level.

I ever so carefully lifted it up and placed it on the table. [Which is also gold!] My conscious said. Underneath the first level was little jewels. Red ones, and green ones, and blue and purple. Some of them were in rings, too.

Suddenly strong hands latched on to my shoulder and pulled me around.

"What part of don't touch anything do you not understand!" Bakura demanded.

[I'm in big trouble now. STUPID GOLD!]

"I um..um, was only looking..." I stampered.

"No. You were touching it! I should-"

The box fell to the floor and scattered the amuelets everywhere.I watched one roll to the edge of the tomb and fall. [Fall?]

It clacked the ground a few seconds later.

"I should-"

The floor lurched below us. And the whole thing fell at least a foot.

"Uh...What just happened Bakura?"

Then it lurched again.

"Oh crap." Bakura said letting go of me. [I wish he wouldn't swear.]

The floor lurched again. Then again.

Then another 5 feet. The exit was now 4 feet above our heads.

[I now feel Bakura's sentiments exactly- OH CRAP!]

Bakura took a step backwards, and then-

The whole floor fell 7 feet. I was slammed to the ground by its force.

"Grab on to something! Quickly!!" Bakura yelled as the floor lurched beneath us again.

I grabbed onto the table where the box was as Bakura grabbed onto its other leg.

The floor let loose into an all out fall, and started to crumble at the edges. I grabbed ont the table tighter.

"Is this what it meant by bottemless pit?!"

"Bottemless pit?! Where did it say 'bottemless pit'?!"

"On the door you idiot!"

We were falling faster now, and I couldn't help but scream.

"Idiot!? Your going to get it twice as worse now! And do stop screaming!"

The walls tapered away from the floor, so you could look over the edge and see where we were falling.

"I'm sorry!"

"Curiosity killed the cat!"

With a giant thud, we unexpectedly landed, and the sound echoed. On the way down Bakura's torch flickered out, but now it was light again. I opened my eyes and saw we were in a very large corridor and it had gold coins in large mounds as big as hills. Something from things you would read only in books.

What was left of the floor started to slide down a hill of coins that we had landed on, and sank slowly to the bottem.

I started to get up when suddenly Bakura dragged me back down.

"You were scared weren't you?"

[Duh. Of course. But I can't let him know that.]

"No I wasn't."

"Then why did you scream?"

=*=*=*=*=

Ok, this a cliffhanger, and I will NOT update unless I get 28 reviews or more.

Today's questions:

How does Tetra answer?
What will Bakura do next? (answer this please!)
Was that the last of the traps?

Review! ^.~*
