The dream began as it always had. There was screaming in the night. The scent of blood filled the air as she rose to her feet and padded silently to the doorway to the outside.

What the little girl saw made her want to cry.

Bodies filled the sandy streets and were gathered by shadowy soldiers. Cries of mercy were answered by cutting blows. Everywhere around her were bodies falling down like life sized dolls.

Her blood red hair whipped in the death scented breeze as a shadow approached her and she began to scream…

Tanith Rivencroft awoke with a gasp as the plane began to land. Strapped across from her in the jet was Croquet, her boss's right hand man. A man that Pegasus trusted to return her to her home in Domino City without mishap. He slept peacefully unaware of Tanith's fright.

For a moment more her lapis lazuli eyes her clouded with the faint memory of nightmares that plagued her for two weeks. Then as she took in more of her quiet surrounding, reality came back to her. She was coming home, home to him. Bakura.

She brushed back her blood red hair from her face with a sigh. It had grown down passed her shoulders and halfway down her back. Most of it hung in a braid but short strands that used to be black hung down in her face.

"I wonder what Bakura's up to about now?" she mused aloud.

Right then Bakura was pacing in front of the airport gate where Tanith was supposed to come out from. His twin in everything except personality, Ryou sat in a chair watching his yami pace in front of him.

On the other side of the white haired teen with brown eyes, were Yugi and Yami. Both had purplish red, black and golden blond tricolored hair that stuck out at all sides. The same violet eyes, Yami's a tad more red. The only real difference between the two was Yugi was shorter and Yami had a taste for more chains.

"Where in Ra's name is she!" Bakura fumed. Yugi went to open his mouth to say something but Yami slapped his hand over his mouth and shook his head. He couldn't stop Ryou.

"Probably still on the plane." He replied. Bakura spun and glared at his hikari, Ryou cringed.

"If she's not here in five minutes I'm leaving." Bakura swore.

Yugi reached over and tugged on Ryou's shirt and whispered, "Would he really do that?"

"No." Ryou replied, "All he's been talking about for three days is Tanith's coming, Tanith's coming!"

"You'd think he likes her or something." Yami said.

"I heard that pharaoh!" Bakura snapped stopping right in front of him. "I do not like her in that way. She's my hitokage and nothing more."

Yami nodded sagelike, "Right and I bet you didn't peek in on her while she took a shower that time at Yugi's."

Bakura seemed to blush, "I did not."

Ryou started snickering along with Yugi and Yami.

"Flight 1117 is now unloading at gate 644B, Flight 1117 is now unloading at gate 644B" came the sudden announcement and Bakura swore.

"Crap! We're clear across the airport from her!" he shouted and began running toward Tanith's correct gate.

"Bakura wait up!" Ryou cried as him and the others jumped up and began racing after the yami.

***********************************************************************************

Tanith stepped off of the plane and followed Croquet out into the empty gate. She was rather annoyed that the control tower first told them to be at one gate and then told them to move to a more secluded one clear across from where she told Bakura.

Something's not right. She thought as she stepped out of the ramp.

Almost immediately Tanith saw Croquet freeze in his tracks and something was slipped firmly over her head. She gasped in the deadly fumes coming from the hood and struggled against the person that held her arms down beside her.

Slowly and surely, Tanith felt herself weakening. Her knees turn to jelly, her eyes began to droop. Her last thought before she slipped into the darkness of unconsciousness was Help me Bakura…

Help me Bakura

He heard the weak plea even though they no longer shared a body. As he raced even harder toward the gate Bakura wondered how it was still possible for him to still be able to hear Tanith's thoughts.

There was a lot about Tanith he wondered. Like how did she know so much about his past? She would sometimes just make a crack about something that no one else but him would know about an event that happened centuries before she was born.

It nagged him. It mystified him and…it scared him.

When the four of them reached the gate, they found Croquet collapsed on the floor and signs of a struggle. Glass cracked from the force of Tanith's power. Seats upturned and the TV shattered.

Yami went to the unconscious man's side and checked for a pulse.

"He's alive." He announced as Bakura cracked his knuckles menacing like.

"Well that's good, I got some questions he's got to answer." Bakura replied.

Ryou wandered over to the window and ran his hand over the glass while Yugi stared at the carnage in shock.

"I can't believe that Tanith could do such a thing." He muttered. "It's been like a month and I still can't used to it."

"Don't worry mate." Ryou replied with a smile. "I haven't got used to it yet either."

Bakura stormed over and nudged Croquet with his foot, "Wake up and tell us where my hitokage is." He nudged him again, this time harder, barely missing Yami. The pharaoh glared up at him just as Croquet groaned.

"Rise and shine!" Bakura said nudging the man more. Finally Ryou and Yami had to pull him back for he began kicking at the poor man. While Ryou and Yami faced the wrath of Bakura, Yugi knelt down and waited for Croquet to wake on his own. He didn't have long to wait.

"Where is Miss Tanith." Croquet exclaimed sitting up suddenly. He looked around and spotted Yami and Bakura in the middle of a glaring match while Ryou sat in between them on the floor with a resigned look upon his face.

"What happened?" he asked Yugi. "Where is Miss Tanith?"

"We don't know." Yugi replied. "We just got here and was hoping you would know."

Croquet sighed, "Master Pegasus is going to kill me."

"Not before I get a chance!" Bakura cried as he was held back by Yami and Ryou before he could attack Croquet.

The man sighed again.
