Kaira-chan: Sorry, I have a seriously BAD case of writers block, so if this chapter completely sucks, please forgive me. At least I tried.
Pharaoh Yami: Yeah. At least she tried. Just because she's going to destroy my charecter...
Kaira-chan: T-T
Pharaoh Yami: And the fic.... don't hate her ok?
Kaira-chan: Gee...thanks for the vote of confidence...now I'm not sure I even want to update this until I get over my Writers Block.
Pharaoh Yami: Opps. I mean, Kaira-chan is a great author, and no matter what she does, there is no way she could make the fic worse then it already is.
Kaira-chan: !!!! WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN??
Pharaoh Yami: I - I - I - I mean, it's a great fic, but there is no way you could kill it, because it's so wonderful.
Kaira-chan: Yay ^-^. Now, do you like the black tux, or your Pharaoh robes better?
Pharaoh Yami: What?
Kaira-chan: For the wedding silly ^-^
Kyla: -.-; Since Paraoh 'Ami sucks at discwaimers, Kaira-chan don't own Yu-Gi-Oh ^-^

Yami woke up, his little heart racing. He looked around. It was so dark. So it wasn't a dream. He was alone in the dark. Tears began to run silently down his face. He was alone. He looked at himself. His little hands.
He was a failure. That was what the voice said. A failure, and everyone would hate him. He cried harder, still silently, for fear that something would come out of the shadows and devour him.
Then he noticed. If it was completely dark, he wouldn't be able to see himself. He stood up. It may be dark, but he could still see most of the stuff around him, just not the corners. But, that would mean there was light somewhere, right? He looked.
A pale light poured in from under the animal fur hanging in the door. He walked towards it, and brushed aside the fur. He looked, and found he was outside.
He shivered. It was freezing. Who would've known that somewhere so hot, could be this cold at night.
He stepped outside, feeling the small grains of sand beneath his feet. The moonlight washed over his features.
He began to walk, not liking standing there, doing nothing. He just walked, letting his feet carry him. He didn't know where he was going. Why would he? Soon however, he found himself at the edge of a wide river.
The water lapped softly against the shore, and a little way off, he say some sort of animal drinking from it.
He took a step towards it. It looked up, then went back to drinking. He stepped alittle closer, and repeated until he was only about a foot away.
It looked at him. It was a really pretty anime. It had two spiraled horns coming from its head, a slim face, and markings on it. He raised a hand, and it came closer to him, to sniff it. He slowly lowered his hand, and began to stoke its muzzle.
Slowly, it stepped closer it him, and soon he found its head pressed against his chest, while he stroked under its jaw.
"You must be really kind. Gazelles are usually afraid of man," Said a small timid voice. Yami and the gazelle looked up fearfully. There was a small, pale boy with white hair. He had what looked like a fresh cut running down his face, crossed three times.
The gazelle calmed down. Yami took that as a good sign.
"Um, hi?" He said.
"Hi," The boy answered back. "What are you doing out. Won't your parents worry about you, if they see you're not at home?"
"Actually, I don't think I have parents. Well, maybe I do. I mean, that Eshe person is really nice to me. Maybe she's my mom," Yami said, looking at the boy. How did he get that cut?
"You _think_ she's your mom?"
"Well, I don't really remember anything. In fact, I don't even know my name!" Yami laughed.
The boy smiled. "You have a nice laugh. It sounds really friendly. I'm Bakura."
"Bakura? That's a funny name," Yami smiled.
"I know, I get that alot...aren't you afraid of me?" Bakura asked.
"Afraid of you? Why should I be. You said your self, gazelle are afraid of people unless there really really nice. And the gazelle doesn't look that afraid," Yami said, looking at the gazelle.
Bakura's eyes narrowed, and he pulled out a knife. "You have no family, so no one will care if you're killed. We're out here alone, with no one to hear your cries," He said, taking steps towards Yami with each word. "You don't look very strong. I could kill you no problem, and no one would care. Plus," His eyes took on a sorrowful appearance, "Can't you see my hair? My skin? I'm the Child of Set himself."
'Child of Set. You demon. Set will come back for you, and you'll destroy us all. Don't be any more different then you already are. You Child of Set!' These words ran through Yami's head.
Yami looked into the eyes of Bakura. "No."
Bakura stopped, then knife close to Yami's neck. "What?"
"No. You're not the Child of Set. I don't think they would look that sad. And, I don't know why, but I think that...I may have been called that before. I don't remember..." Yami said.
Bakura looked at him. He put away the knife. "I wasn't going to hurt you anyway. You're brave, usually people would be yelling by now."
Yami looked at him. His gaze wandered to the cut on Bakura's cheek.
Bakura noticed and put his hand over it. "Um...I fell," He said quietly.
Yami looked at him. He smiled. "You don't have to lie. Were friends, right?" Yami smiled.
"Friends?" Bakura asked, looking up.
"Yep, friends. I don't know, but I think that they don't lie to each other. Oh and they play. Like Jonouchi and me!" Yami smiled.
Bakura looked at him. "Hey! Want to know a game I learned today?"
Bakura nodded, not knowing what to expect. Yami smiled widely. "Tag! You're it!" He said, tapping Bakura's hand.
Bakura smiled. He'd seen the other kids playing this. He ran after Yami. They played long into the night, and then the sun began to raise. Yami yawned heavily.
"Haha! 'Ami's tired," Bakura laughed. Suddenly his laugh was interrupted by a huge yawn.
Yami smiled, his eyes dropping closed.
"Hey! Look! There's Khepra!" Bakura said joyfully, pointing at the raising sun.
Yami looked, and stared in awe, as the sun painted the sky all shades of pink and purple.
As hard as they tried, they couldn't manage to stay awake, and eventually, there eyes dropped close, and the fell asleep, the gazelle, not to far away, seeming to keep watch over them.
Yami woke up to yelling. His eyes slowly eased open, but he had to blink ferociously to keep out the sun.
"You! Get away from there!" Someone yelled. Yami looked around, before he remembered he had fallen asleep by the river bed with Bakura. He looked around and soon saw the reason for everyone's yelling. Not to far off, he saw a hippo. A huge hippo, looking at him. Yami began to move away, before remembering about Bakura. He looked, and saw Bakura not to far off, still asleep. In order to get to him however, he would have to get closer to the hippo. Something he would much rather NOT do.
But he couldn't leave Bakura there, could he? Yami inched closer to Bakura.
"Leave that demon-child there!" Someone yelled. That settled it. Yami got up and ran towards Bakura.
He shook Bakura awake.
"What is it?" Bakura grumbled, turning away.
"HIPPO!" Yami yelled. That got Bakura up. He saw the hippo. His eyes went wide. "Let's...go..." He said calmly, slowly backing up.
The light shone off of a gold necklace that hung around his neck.
'Wow. That's pretty. I wonder why I didn't notice it before,' Yami thought.
The light reflected off of the necklace, and into the hippo's eyes. Caught off guard, it started charging towards the young boys. They got up and started running away from it. They didn't notice that they were also running further away from the safety of the village.
Suddenly, the sand seemed to fly out from Bakura's feet. He tripped and fell. Yami stopped. "Bakura!!!" He screamed, turning around.
Bakura looked. "Run!" He yelled. The hippo coming closer.
Yami hesitated, and it seemed that the hippo was nearly on top of them. Suddenly it stumbled off to the side. It shook its head. Yami looked for why it stopped, and then saw the arrow lodged in its side. Soon another on joined the first, then a third. A few arrows later, the hippo fell to its side, and stopped moving. Yami walked up to Bakura, and helped him up.
Bakura looked at Yami. "Why - Why didn't you keep running?" He asked.
Yami grinned. "Because friends don't leave friends behind."
Bakura looked at him. He smiled. Maybe, he really did have a friend this time. Maybe, he could tell this boy about what happened to his face.
Suddenly, two adults, a man and a women, both with dark silky brown hair, ran out from the group of adults out there. The man was carrying a bow, so Yami assumed that he was the one that shot the hippo.
"Bakura! You're OK! I'm sorry, next time we leave our village, we won't leave you unwatched," Said the woman.
"Mom, I'm OK, really," Bakura said, hugging his mother.
"Son, what happened to your face?" The man, Bakura's father said, kneeling down.
"Nothing dad, it's not important," Bakura said, looking down.
"It wasn't those horrid kids again, was it?" His mother asked, concerned.
"Hey! I met a friend! Can we come back to this village soon?" Bakura asked, changing the subject. His parents seemed to notice Yami for the first time.
"That you for looking out for our son. If it wasn't for you, he'd probably still be asleep, he may have been killed," His mother said.
"That's what friends do, ne?" Yami said, looking down, blushing and rubbing the back of his head.
His parents left. Yami caught something like "Where did those jewels come from?" Before he turned around, ready to go back to his house.
By then, most of the adults had already left, or were studying the hippo. He was left to find his way back to the house...perhaps his house...by himself. He smiled. This was going to be fun. Like a game. Oh how he loved games.

Kaira-chan: Well, there it is, the chapter written while I had writers block...Then the writers block left, and I couldn't seem to end the chapter. I tried to end it sooner, I swear, like where Yami challanges Bakura to a game of two-man tag, but I kept typing, and typing. -.-; Well, that's my longest chapter yet, at 1611 words. See, I told you, my chapters will keep getting longer, and longer -.-; You know what, I think I'm going to ask questions..that you should anwser.

Kaira-chan: And yes, I know that Bakura and Yami probably weren't friends, but I'm making them be, OK?????? Any other suggestions for the fic? Plz? I have a feeling I'm going to get another case of writers block.
Kyla: Um...Kywa-chan. Um...this isn't the chapter you were writing before...
Kaira-chan: O_o dammit, this was suppose to be the chapter where Jonouchi named him! It gets really annoying to not have anyone call him anything...And I spent an hour looking for a good name for him too -.-;
Pharaoh Yami: -.-; You mortals are so weird sometimes....
Kaira-chan: I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. It took a lot of research. That's another question I need to ask. Pharaoh Yami?
