(ANY TRANSLATION WILL BE IN THESE, OKAY?)

(By the way, I just made up all the Egyptian, so blame my brain if it looks wierd.)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

(Malik's POV)

I rubbed my head where it had hit something hard. Ouch. Grr... why didn't that stupid duel monster listen to me?! I opened my eyes and suddenly felt heat of a mid afternoon sun pouring down on me. Very hot. My head was spinning from the heat. Where was I?

As my eyes focused to the bright light I saw Bakura. He was up, too, staring dumbfounded out to a...market place? Ok, honestly, where am I?

"What happened?!"

"I think... I think we were sent back in time to... ancient Egypt! Where I lived!"

I blinked.

"Back in time, but still in Egypt?"

I groan from behind me nearly made me jump. Just Tetra.

"Ow... my head. What happened to the Dark Magician Girl?"

"You should be wondering what happened to us!" I grumbled.

Bakura shook his head.

"Guys, if this is back in ancient Egypt, the Dark Magician Girl is in the Shadow Realm waiting to be summoned. Its sort of like the rules in Duel Monsters."

"Ok, I get that. Uh.. where did you say I am?"

I nearly burst out laughing. Is she kidding?

Bakura sighed.

"The Dark Magician Girl sent us back in time 5,000 years, give or take a few hundred."

She kicked some sand of her clothes and stared down the alley at the market.

"I suppose anything is possible..."

"Also, what we're wearing... unless we want to attract thieves, including myself, I suggest I go find some local garb."

What?

"What do you mean 'including myself?'" I asked.

"I was around in ancient Egypt. Duh. There are two of me here now. Two of Tetra's yami as well."

Bakura got up and kicked some sand off his pants.

"Ok, Malik, you come with me and show you a thing or two about stealing from a market place. It'll also help me improve my Egyptian. I think I'm a little rusty..."

I got up two and started to follow him. Ok, we're in Egypt. No problem...hmmm... I wonder if what we do here will effect the future?

"Uh, guys! What about me?! You're just gonna leave me here? I don't even know how to speak Egyptian, what if someone comes down here and finds me?!" Tetra said.

"You'll be fine. No one's out at this time of the day. Come on Malik. Best if we steal from above, no one ever looks up because the sun is too bright."

We climbed a ladder and left Tetra staring there.

~*~*~*~*~*~
(Tetra's POV)

[Uh? They really are just gonna leave me here. Well they'll be back.]

I sighed and and sat down behind some large reed basket. Best if I stay in this alley and wait for the megolomaniacs to return. And besides, it was shady back here and the sunny was probably twice as hot out in the sun.

[Wait...thats wierd. We we transported back in time in the middle of the night. Why is it daty time.]

[[Who knows, who cares?]]

[Hey, I said to leave me alone!]

[[Are you mistaking me for someone who cares, you mortal?]]

And with that she left...again.

I sighed again and listened to the people of the market place taking in Egyptian. I have no clue what is being said, but it's the feeling of normalness that makes me feel better,

The heat of the day was lulling me to sleep...a shout awaken me:

"Kahl, mehireb!" (Stop, thief!!)

I jumped up and looked around. What? Where?

Pounding footsteps wound their way around the corner of the alley and revealed a younger looking Bakura. Same dusty, white hair...but darker skin. Shorter, and much younger, he almost looked too kawaii for words. Well, until you saw his eyes. Ruthless. Fearless. Clever. Thief.

He sped down the alley, which also happened to be a dead end, right towards me and I barely had time to back up before I was pinned against the wall with a hand tight over my mouth.

I was shocked to say the least.

"Mehireb! Athul amien? Karhua marih, ou!"(Thief! Where are you? Come back here, now!!) the anger market tenders shouted as they ran past the alley, never even looking down it.

My eyes shifted back to thief Bakura, who still had me pinned to the wall.

"Ih quhi nakhefe NUBT rehn ih ankh"(You stay silent and MAYBE I'll let you live.)

Where was the other Bakura? The one I knew? Come rescue me!!! I can't even understand Egytpian. How did I know something like this was going to happen?

[[You might want to know that he basically just threatened to kill you unless you stay quiet.]]

[Since when are you helping me?]

[[Tomb robber or not, if you die, I'm stuck in limbo for another thousand years.]]

[For the last time, I AM NOT A TOMB ROBBER!]

You reviewers have no idea how happy you make me! ^_^ I got all the reviews I wanted! But guess what? I'm at another one of those spots were the plot remains undecided.

Why are they ancient Egypt? What will they do? What will OUR Bakura do when he finds his past self? Does Malik have a past self? What is up with another Millennium Item? Will Tetra have to live with dirt in her food? How will they get back?

Well, your opinion counts. Review and give me ideas! ^_^ (not exactly at a writer's block, but almost, so be careful)
