Bakura's POV
"There's a way you can live again.", Anuki said. I eyed her sceptically, while Anzu's eyes became brighter. Heh, damn crush. I loosened my arms and draped them around Ryou's waist, causing him to blush adorably. I love it when he blushes, as well as I love it when his beautiful eyes plead for more of my kisses and touches desperately. I could write a novel of what I love about Ryou.
I laid my chin on his head, soft feathery locks tickling my skin, and watched the other's reactions, deeply inhaling the boy's scent. Another thing I love. . .
For we just got up, he smelled like sweet, thick sleep, nearly like a little child. I buried my nose into his mane, eyes semi-closed, and thought of how much his scent resembled his taste. I shot a soft glare at the strange girl when she remained silent after that single statement. Was she trying to put some suspense in here?
"Just tell us how so Ryou and I can go back to bed.", I muttered.
"Aww, are we finally in love now?", the Mariku spirit thingy grinned. Ryou blushed harder. Maybe I should thank the thingy. . . naaaah.
"Shut up." He grinned even wider. "Cute, aren't they."
"I told you to shut up!" "Now that`s my best friend how I know him." Mariku nodded, satisfied with my reaction. I growled and pulled Ryou closer.
"You have to collect all Sennen Items.", Anuki stated calmly. Mariku and I looked up, startled.
"Uh. . . collect what?" She brushed her hair behind her ear on one side of her face while on the other side the silky strands covered her eye. She seemed annoyed.
"These things of course. Disturbing their peace, but don't know what they are, eh? That's just great.", she said, pointing at the rod Malik held in his hand. Seto's eyes narrowed. "How do you know about them?" The girl's icy, rather superior glare rested upon him and challenging his own that no living thing on earth could stand with hard, cold dark eyes. Not even I could stand Seto's iciest glare. Anuki could. And she did, startling him.
"Don't you dare questioning me, mo- excuse me." She stopped herself though her voice had been growing darker at that sentence and the temperature had fallen an amount of degrees. She had a funny echo in her voice, too. Her eyes had flashed. Now she shook her head and looked somewhat dizzy. I turned to Kaiba, Ryou still in my arms.
"I think you've got something to explain to your loyal co-workers." He nodded meekly. "The items I sent you all to collect are powerful, And evil."
"They're not!!"
Everyone turned to stare at Anuki. Her hands were fists and now she looked angry. "They are", Seto said, lifting his brows. "The ancient scripts say so." "That's right", Anuki said. "But it's a lie." Seto's brows disappeared into his bangs.
"Please. If you know better, then you tell us about them."
The girl was neither nervous nor taken by surprise. Her voice was calm and somewhat purring as if she told a fairy tale to small children. Again, I was sure there was a light echo within it.
"When the Sennen Items were given to the great pharaoh he was told to seal a powerful force into them. A force that could destroy the world. . . and he did seal it away. He lost his life back then, and his soul was sealed into one of the items as well. Before he died, he sealed the soul of a thief into that item." She paused and pointed at the ring that hung around Ryou's neck. The boy's eyes became larger.
"That was about six millennia ago. The items never were evil, they were signets. A millennium ago, the signets were broken for the first time, that was the time of that ridiculous game, played with cards; which was played in ancient Egypt as well, and it was more powerful then it ever was. The humans used the old scripts to produce the cards. In the end, the force which was sealed away broke free. That was the cause of Egypt's destruction a millennium ago. "She spoke slowly, carefully.
"The protector of the Sennen Items sealed them away again after taking the lives of the mortals who dared carrying, using the items. The gods placed them all over the destroyed Egypt, hoping that nobody would ever find them again, that no mortal would even know about them anymore." Anuki used another break to let her gaze travel over every person in this room.
"You found them. You're using them. They aren't evil, but powerful; and no one of you is strong enough to protect them yet. That's why you're doomed, all of you." Her voice had become a hollow whisper, and I felt Ryou shivering slightly and snuggling against me. That girl really was creepy.

Reader's POV
"C'mon, I'll take you to the mall to buy some clothes.", Malik said, holding out his hand to the girl. They were alone in the living room after Bakura had carried a passed-out Ryou into his bedroom, Seto had stomped off to work and had dragged Shizuka with him and Anzu and Isis had borrowed the rod to talk to Mariku. Anuket looked up, smiling softly. Malik locked gazes with her; she wasn't the cheery teen girl anymore. She was someone else by now.
But she stood up, taking Malik's hand and following the blushing boy out of the mansion into his hover car. Fastening her seat belt, she leaned her head back and stared out of the window. It started to rain. Malik started the car, desperately thinking of something to say.
"So. . . how do you know so much about the items?" Anuket didn't even look up.
"I read about it."
"And how do you think Mariku will live again?" Now she turned to him.
"Don't worry. Leave it to me."
Soon they arrived, Malik led her into a store, and she observed the clothes as if they were somehow funny. "That's what you call clothes?", she asked. Of course, she was used to tight, Egyptian dresses or dresses with soft folding. And of course, Malik didn't know that, and she wouldn't tell him.
"Yeah! Don't you like them?"
Anuket smiled gently at the so much younger boy's enthusiasm and disappointment. "I do, don't worry."
He continued searching for clothes and shoved her into a cabin, making her trying on every piece. The goddess had to confess – she liked him. She liked him a lot.
But what happens when a goddess, even a low one, falls in love with a mortal?
*~*
Arrrgh, so uneventful. Well. Next chapter will be about the crew trying to get Yami's Items. That'll be fun ^-^
Malik: You think so?
Ryou: I guess it will be fun. . .
Bakura: Shut up and kiss me.
Anuket. Hey there!
Voice: What are you doing here? O.O
Anuket: I wanted to see Malik. He asked me for a date, you know.
Voice: . . . *glares at Malik*
Malik: *gulp* Err. . . *faces readers* Please review, or she'll kill me!!
