Amelia: HI! I'm back!

Diana: And me, don't forget me!

Amelia: Oh, yea. And her too.

Diana: Ok! You, shut up!

Amelia: What if I don't want to?

Diana: * shoves a cork in her mouth * Now you can't.

Amelia: Mmmmm!

Diana: Now why does this feel familiar?

Amelia: * thinks* *shrugs *

Diana: ON WITH THE SHOW!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Chapter 5~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As Amelia woke up, she had no idea where she was.  Soon the memories of last night flew back into her mind like a lightning bolt.

/S#!T/ She said to herself.  She looked around and found her clothes.  When she tried to reach for them, she felt an arm around her waist.  /Ra, help me./  Know the arm was Bakura's, she slowly picked up his arm, slid out from under it and put it back on the ground gently.  Then she stood up and got changed.  Next, she looked for her staff.  She casted out her senses and found it a couple of meters away.  She picked it up and as quietly as she could, tried to leave.

/Where are you going?/  Bakura's voice echoed in her mind.  Totally shocked that they weren't touching and her was speaking to her through mind speech, she quickly made up an excuse.

/Umm… I'm going to get something to eat./

/Oh, hold on.  Let me get dressed./

As she waited for him to put his clothes on, a plan silently formed in her head.  /I've got it./  She said quietly to herself.

~*~In the Pharaoh's Hall~*~

            "It's been 3 WEEKS!" Priest Seto screamed at the Pharaoh.

            "I know.  I'm beginning to get worried myself, but I can't go against the Tauk's predictions." replied Atem.  "I'm not really a big fan of waiting, but I know she's alive.  I can sense these things."

            "You know what?  I don't care.  You can't stop me from trying to save her.  You're just jealous because you don't have anyone to love but that ugly son of a scribe Bernarda!" with that said, he strode off towards the door.

            "NO ONE GOES BACK ON MY ORDERS!" Atem's voice boomed. "GAURDS!"

            Soon enough, 10 guards swarmed around the Priest.  Seto knocked out the first two, but soon enough the other eight surrounded him and had him pinned down to the ground.

            As he struggled, he was able to yell, "I'll find a way!" before they dragged him out into the prisoner chambers.

~*~In the Theive's Hideout~*~

            As Amelia made her way through the tunnels, her staff at hand, she was still angry with herself.

            /It's been so long that I've lost track of time./  She had learned to whisper in her head since she found out no matter where she went, Bakura could hear her thoughts.  /Seto, I'm dieing to see you again.  I don't like forgetting.  I know my way around her like the back of my hand, even my staff, but I just don't know my way out.  AH!/

            /What?/ Came his voice.

            /Nothing./

            /You sure?/

            /Yea, I'm just walking./

            /Meet me in my room in ten minutes./

            /I'll try./  And said nothing more.  As she silently turned on her heel and made her way through the twists and turns, she thought about Seto the entire time.

            As she entered Bakura's chambers, she found a couple of his main thieves with him.  "You want to see me?" She asked out loud.  It would have been suspicious to the others if they knew Bakura and her could communicate through their mind.

            "Yes.  A person, who happens to be the tomb – keeper for our beloved Pharaoh Atem, just dropped by and gave us some information very important to our next tomb robbery."

            /Oh, Malik will pay for this treason of the Pharaoh…/ she thought to herself.

            "And we were wondering if you and your staff would like to join us on our next robbery.  I know it's short notice, but I don't think it'd take you that long to prepare."

            "You want me?"

            "And your staff."

            A tiny smirk appeared at the corner of Amelia's lips and disappeared in an instant.  She silently glided over to Bakura's side and placed her arm around his waist.  "So, what's the plan?"

~*~In the Prisoner's Chambers~*~

            /They can't keep me down here forever./  Seto said to himself.  /I'll be out soon and Amelia will be rescued and back here with me in no time./

As Seto sat silently in the corner of his room pondering a way to escape and find Amelia, he barely noticed the sounds of a fight going on outside one the other side of the door.  He finally snapped out of his thoughts when he saw a cloaked figure standing in front of him, hand outstretched, offering to help him up.

Words weren't needed to understand what was going on.  The cloaked person wanted to help Seto escape.  As Seto grabbed its hand, he saw there were nails and a feminine touch to them.  As he was being pulled up, he tried to catch a glimpse of her face, but couldn't because it was too dark.

Once he was up, the figure broke out into a sprint, leading the way out through secret passages Seto didn't know about.  As Seto followed right behind her, he kept on wondering who she was.

~*~Back with Amelia~*~

            "Everyone knows what to do?... Good, start preparing, we leave at dusk." Bakura yelled to his troop of thieves.

            As everyone left, Bakura and Amelia remained.

            /So, do you know what you have to do?/ his voice rang through her head.

            /Yes!  How many times did you ask me that?  And I said, "yes" every time./

            /Just wanted to make sure./  he said while wrapping his arms around her waist.

            /Sure you did./  she said while wrapping her arms around his neck and pulled him into a kiss.

            She had learned they can hear each other's thoughts because they both had millennium items, so a mind like was formed.  Amelia had also learned to control her thought level.  In times like now, when the bond was at one of it's strongest, she would think about escaping in small portions every five minutes or so just to have him think that the ideas just popped into her head at random.

            /I love you./  came Bakura's voice.

            /I love you too./  She had said it so many times before, but it didn't really mean anything to her.  Now, now that she had a chance to get back to Seto, her questioned her love for him.  Sure, he had been everything she wanted in a guy, but Bakura had that something that kept her close to him.  /Maybe it's the mind link./  she thought.  Soon she was gasping for breath out of confusion and broke the kiss.

            "What's wrong?"  Bakura asked as Amelia paled.

            "No… nothing…" Amelia was able to get out in two quick gasps.  "I… I need to walk."  She said while picking up her staff and exiting, leaving the puzzled Bakura behind.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~End of Chapter 5~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Diana: I think this was one of the best chapters.

Amelia: * pulls out cork * How come?

Diana: Because you actually thought of Seto, and if you let him go, I get him!

Amelia: What do you mean by that?

Diana: Read the chapter.

Amelia: * reads chapter * Don't you dare!

Diana: * whistles *
