Yes! I can continue now! Thank you ALL for your support, you guys are the best! ^__^ You guys are also saying that I shouldn't rewrite the beginning...so I won't. But I'll fix the mistakes and repost it in my freetime, though, perhaps. But updating is my first priority, dun worry!



disclaimer: :P I dun own Yu-Gi-Oh! because if I did, we'd be dueling with ACTUAL duel disks instead of cheap plastic life-size models that don't work... -_-

~~In the desert in ancient Egypt~~







~~...AKA, the middle of no where's land with sand, sand, sand...~~









~~OK! Let's begin where we left off!~~









//No - I'll be doing whatever I prefer.//

/But!! Iiiiie!/ Tetra had to shield herself from a bright purple glow coming from the Millennium Chain around her neck.

"Hey what the hell is going on here and...?!" one voice melted simoutaneously into two, and two new figures appeared, both shielding themselves from purple light. Matching outfits, yet their hair was slightly different... and the original Malik still had the Millennium Rod haning off his back belt loop.

Malik gasped, "I'm free! Mwahaha! And...huh?" Malik stared at his other half in shock. Of course, his darker half was just as stunned and clueless as to what had just happened.

Soon the bright purple light subsided, and the scene of the two "Malik's" was observed by all.

"What just... happened?" asked Mariku-chan, "Oh no...now there are THREE of me..."

Bakura-chan looked at Mariku-chan, "It makes you wonder how they're using all this magic. Where are all the mirrors?"

"Silence." ordered Yami, "Let's all work this out PEACEFULLY, okay?"

"Not okay." said both Malik and YamiMarik at the same time.

YamiMalik glared at his other half, but soon found a problem, that being, he had a seperate body entirely, thus meaning, he was mortal, yet still connected to Malik.

Bakura, "Well here, let's break this up, shall we? I'M going to go rule the world now, see ya pharaoh!" Bakura grabbed hold of Tetra's wrist, and pulled Malik along behind him, "Come on, Mariku, Kura, FOLLOW!"

"Wait! Hey! You can't leave me here!" yelled YamiMalik.

"I don't see why not," said Tetra.

"Eat my sand, pharaoh!" declared Bakura as he took off.

Bakura set off into a run towards the palace, tugging Tetra along behind him. The younger past version of Bakura kept up along side his furture self with no problem, and Malik and Mariku-chan trailed those three easily.

However, left in the dust was a speechless Yami, a captured Tea, Tristin, Joey, Mai, and Isis, AND YamiMalik.

YamiMalik growled under his breath, "Blasted hikari took off with MY Millennium Rod, too! Grrrrr..." He started off to run but fell into the sand and pulled himself up sputtering, "What in Ra's name happened, why can't I run?!"

"You never have before. You must learn first..." noted Yami, a few paces behind him.

"WHAT?! I've run before!"

"Not in your own body before, you where using Malik's body that entire time. In fact... you've never even had a seperate existance." Yami sighed, "But it doesn't matter now! I have to get to the palace before they do and they screw up the future!"





~~Back to Bakura & Co. running towards the lazy lump of a pharaoh's palace...O_o~~





"Slow down Bakura I can't run that fast...!" Tetra panted, "Pleeeease! I'm thirsty!"

Bakura slowed and skidded to a stop in the cold sand. The stars twinkled above, and his white hair seemed to glow off the light of the moon. The palace gates were meer yards away. Their ticket back to a future they could rule. Bakura sighed and turned around and watched Tetra slow to a stop, and finally lean against him for support.

Bakura shifted his eyes towards Malik who was watching them intently with a look of, 'well, what are you waiting for? Kiss her already!' Tetra, still sort of half latched to Bakura looked up and caught Bakura's eye.

"Hey...ummm...thanks for stopping. I..I'll let go now if you want, sorry, I didn't know what I was...err...thinking." she stuttered.

//Oh you knew what you were doing.//

/How many times must am I required to tell you to shut up before you DO SO?/

//Heh heh, forever in five minutes.//

/Which means..?/

//Never mind, just look at the way he's watching you! I think he actually is attracted to you!//

Tetra could tell she was blushing, /Shut the hell up, yami! You're ruining the moment!!!/

"Naw...you don't have to let go. I really don't mind, actually, in fact..." Bakura slowly said then pulled Tetra into a semi-short sweet kiss on the lips.

/*gasp* !!!/

//*raises eyebrows* Yes, I'd take that as a definite sign that he's attracted to you, girl.//

Bakura pulled away and backed up a couple steps and stared at the ground, highly unsure of what he'd just done. Would Tetra freak? He hoped not...

A few feet away Mariku-chan and Bakura-chan we're gawking with their mouths kinda hanging open. Malik, who stood next to them, had is arms folded and just had a triumphant look on his face that read, 'I've got blackmail on you know 'Kura!'

The first to speak after this little scene happened was Bakura-chan.

"...so..." Bakura-chan started, "...Does this mean I get to kiss her, too?!"

Bakura's head shot up furiously and he glared daggers at Bakura-chan, "NO!"

Meanwhile Tetra stood kinda in shock, and touched her lips.

/...he just kissed me.../

//Wow. Did you figure that out all by yourself or did Thoth help you?//

/I've never been kissed by a guy before....and espcially on such short notice...but...that was great!!/

//*rolls eyes* Oh yay...now I have a hikari with hormones on the brain...*sigh*//

/Grrrr....How many times have I told you to shut up?!/

//I dunno, I lost track at 12...//

/...you take things too literally./
