(Bakura's POV) (Market Place)

//...just a little closer...//

I reached a little farther, then immeadiatly snatched up some clothes that had been left out to dry. I pulled myself back up to the ledge and found Malik examining the construction of the pyramids from a distance.

"Malik, maybe we should be heading back now, who knows what kind of trouble Tetra has gotten herself into."

Malik's attention went from the pyramid to me.

"I know something," he said grinning.

//What?//

"So? What in the name of Ra are you talking about?" I replied.

He grinned some more and folded his arms.

Grr... he was never one for straight answers. What is he getting at? My anger grew.

"You're being silly Malik, now lets get back to Tetra before she makes herself look like an idiot."

"Since when do you care about what happens to someone else?"

//Is he trying to infer that I like Tetra? I still say thats totally blown out of porportion!!//

/You're still lying to yourself... you do-/

//Silence mortal!!//

"Malik, just shut up." I said frustrated and walked across a board to another roof top.

"But you DO like her Bakura. You can't deny it. I can see it."

I growled under my breath. Why is this of his concern? So what if I do...? But I don't so-

/but you do. I must agree with Malik. Stop denying it./

//BUT I DON'T, MORTAL, SO STAY IN SILENCE OR ELSE YOU WILL HAVE A LITTLE VISIT TO THE SHADOW REALM!!//

/.../

Mortals. So foolish they are. So VERY foolish, indeed...

*****
(Tetra's POV) (A Dark Alley in the Market Place)

The younger thief Bakura removed his hand from my mouth and glanced down the alley towards the market place. No one even noticed. I suppose it shows how stupid people in general have always been...

"Kerin nahar Bakura, meshir eter?"he said, looking back at me.
(My name is Bakura, and you are?)

My eyes grew wide, as I still didn't know even a little bit of Egyptian.

Sensing my panic, my yami actually helped, much to my surprise.

//He said his name is Bakura and is asking for yours.//

/...thanks/

"Celes." I said, providing a name.

I may not speak this language, but I have a translator, and as long as I don't have to say more than my name, I'll be fine... it may even look like I'm cooperating.

//Gee... don't you have a clever mind.//

/I want normal Bakura back now.../

//Why? You fond of him or something?//

Oooh... I'd smack something right now if I could. I don't like Bakura. No way...natta.

Uh...do I..at least I don't think so...?

//Heh. You do! You do!//

Laughter floated through my mind and I tried to turn my attention back to reality. For now, I hope my spirit has enough sense to DROP the subject.

The thief Bakura was picking through a little woven bag at some shiney gold peices. Yes, he is a thief. I smiled, I have no idea why, but compared to the normal soul-stealing Bakura I know, this one was kawaii.

He glared up at me.

"Shres tal umin ana not?"
(What are you looking at?)

I cringed. Cute, but definantly not one to be messed with...strange how he was both cute an not cute at the same time. I suppose he's still young and thats why he's cute, but he definantly isn't innocent anymore...whatever had happened in his younger childhood to make him the thief he already was at such a young age.

He probably didn't have any family at this point and was a loner with very few friends...if even that. But he didn't look like he wanted friends.

//Are you going to answer him?//

/What he say?/

He frowned and looked back down at the bag.

//Oh nevermind.//

Suddenly I heard bickering from the clay rooftops. Bakura and Malik!!

I immeadiatly turned around and gave a shout.

"You two better get down here and SAVE ME!"

(Malik's POV) (looking over clay rooftop)

"I told she'd get herself into some kind of trouble." Bakura told me.

We leaned over the balcony to see another Bakura?!

**************
Ok, well there was the update. I think its a tad longer than the other ones, but oh well.
You see, there was a delay for me to update this because ff.net DELETED another one of my fics, A Tomb Robber's Rulebook. They ALSO made it so I can't upload anything, so this is why this chapter was late.
I don't know if the other ones will come any sooner because of the WASL testing going on all next week.

ALSO, I was gone for the past four day6s to Spokane because I got to go to the SkillsUSA-VICA State championships. My school placed in everything, but my O/C team got a silver medal! ^_^

Anyways, to make the next chapter possibly come sooner, I suggest you answer these questions in your review so I can get some kind of idea of what to do:

Why are they in Egypt/What will they do?

How DID Tetra get the Millennium Chain?

What is little Bakura-chan gonna do when he meets his future self, and vise versa?

Review! (not like I have to worry about you not reviewing) ^_^
