I have nothing of importance to say at the moment. I think. I have been trapped in a stupid hotel with my family for….5 days, I believe (I MISSED THE ENDING TO THE YUUGI/JOUNOUCHI DUEL!!!!! I think I might cry……), watching Yu Yu Hakursho (I know I misspelled it…), and various other animes I've never heard of. But, I can now add Yu Yu Harkursho, G Gundam, Kikaider, and Kenshin to my list of favorite animes. That makes 5 total. So, sorry to all of those who depend on my stories for entertainment. I apologize. Now, let's get on with the story.

Warnings: Alice is being Alice. What more of a warning do you need? Not good enough? Language mainly, and remember chapter three? Yeah, more of that only on a lesser scale.

Summery of Last Chapter: Alice gave a warning to Kaiba, and Bakura found of doll of himself, and when Yami Bakura took over, the doll changed into one that was scowling (meaning she knows he's there).

LOOK HERE! I have found a theme song for Alice. If you listen to it at the right volume, that is. Softly, but load enough to hear clearly. I'm actually listening to it right now ^^ Yes, it's a midi from Kenshin. But that's ok, cause I think it fits her. Child like yet deep and kinda dark. Link is in bio. You. Must. Listen!!

Daivd and Alice

Allie the Murder and a Crossward Puzzle (Oo)

Around 9 pm

Bakura no Yami POV

I have told you before that I am going to kill the ghost that thinks she can harm my landlord, yes? I'm not going to kill her. I'm going to lock her soul in the Shadow Realm or she can suffer it's complete wrath for the rest of eternity. Think it's harsh? She. Touched. My. Landlord. It's not harsh at all.

The entire day passed without anymore disturbences from our little supernatural problem. My light was sleeping peacefully in his soul room, and I had managed to steer clear of everyone realativly easily. Except Jounouchi. He seems to have made it a habit of following me. Stupid mortal. He's probably concerned about Bakura's well being. Tsh. That's my job. After all, how else am I supposed to pay my rent?

The only thing out of the ordinary was Kaiba, who seemed to be trailing his brother rather carefully. Well, more carefully then normal, if you will.

t's times like these that makes you wonder how I get into all this trouble. Really it does.

Alice's POV

I laughed, very, very, very hard at the expression on the white haired boy's face as he saw the doll I made of him. And then he switched souls. And the other's expression wasn't quite as good. But I still laughed very hard. Too hard. I lost control over making the small doll solid. I did keep it going long enough to take some energy away from the other's soul. Not bad.

And then there was the tall brunette named Kaiba. That was pretty good too.

Now, I have regained most energy lost, and I am ready set to work on my newest additions to my ever growing doll collection.

The question of the hour, how? A problem I have contemplated for awhile. Still don't have a plan. Well, I have the very basis of one. Too bad it isn't yet finished.

"Alice." Said David. He had come up behind me. Of course, I hadn't known that, but who else could it be?

I stopped laughing just enough to ask, "What David?"

"You are planning something. And don't lie to me sis. I saw you possess Bakura. I was there. In the kitchens. And then I watched you scare Kaiba---"

"You weren't in the room." I said, cutting him off.

"Well….no, not really. I saw him terrified however, looking at the screen of his computer thing."

I looked at him cooly. A glance I know many once feared. Even dearest Mom and Dad.

"Alice, you can't hurt these people. I know you've done something to others in the past with…your magic stuff. I don't know how you got that either, but know that you have it you must realize that you have at least a little responsibility with it. You can't just go around breaking peoples minds!" David said.

"Why not?" I said, also rather cooly. And very indimitating as well.

"Because it isn't right sis!" he said.

I just looked at him. "I have never done that right thing. You should know that. Tell me Davy, do you know how I got my 'magic' as you put it?"

He shook his head 'no'.

"Do you remember when they said Mother and Father dearests where responsible for our murders?"

He nodded, very, very slowly. I could have squeeled at the horror creeping into his eyes and he realized what I'd done.

"They weren't. Two, mortal souls, sacrificed in life, with a ritual, can bring about powerful control over the elements in the afterlife, and what not. Of course, I figured I owed Mother and Father something for…taking care of us, all these long years, so I sacraficed your soul, and mine. Simple as that. Ever wonder why, exactly, I am wearing a black dress, even though I went to bed in a white lacy one? As for Mother and Father dissappearing? They aren't gone. Check room 9, top drawer on the left."

He stared.

"You…..you……." he voice shook.

I rolled my eyes and made a circular gesture with my hand, implying him to go on. I don't have a very smar t brother do I?

"….killed me….." he finished. Finally.

"Very good Davy!! You learned something."

He stood, bewildered. "How could you do something like that! And for power?!" he said his voice wavering.

"Power is good." I said, rather stupidly, I know. But still, many people have fawned over how cute that is.

"But….but Allie…common….you killed me! That's….that's……." he just couldn't say it.

"Yes, yes, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutly or something. But still. I'm happy. And that's what counts. It really doesn't matter what I had to sacrifice to get here." I said.

"Two things. One, excuse me while I throw back my head and laugh evilly, and two, excuse me, I have mortals to torment." I said.

I threw back my head and laughed and left.

Hiroto Honda's POV

This was really creepy. I know something has been going on. What, I'm not certain. First three of all say that there are people here, that aren't here, and now Bakura comes and says that he's not Bakura, not even Yami Bakura. This could easily become a headache.

I walked back to my room. Unconcerned about whatever was happening. Things like these tend to stay away from me. Somehow, I just don't attract that much attention. You get used to it after awhile, I assure you.

I walked into the room I was sharing with Bakura and crashed on the bed. Hopefully things would be better tomorrow.

Alice's POV

Yeah. I'm still laughing. That's just how funny it is. I'm a murderer! God it feels good to have that off my chest…um…well, you know what I mean here.

I saw a tall brown haired boy walking past, down the hall away from me. I followed him and found that he was going into the room the white haired boy was in. What was his name? Baku something.

I have light bulbs in my eyes. (AN- My way of saying I have an idea)

Hmmm. Let's see what other horror I can reek here.

Terrify the brown haired boy, spook the white haired boy, and add a doll to my collection.

Excuse me while I laugh some more.

Ku ku ku…..

Ok, enough. I'll laugh more later.

I passed through the door of the room and saw the boy had just crashed on the far bed. Hmmm. Not good. The white haired boy would easily escape then, he'd be closer to the door. Of course, I have no intention of doing anything sinister, not yet.

I looked at the clock, radiacting red; 9:30 p.m. From what I know about times people usually go to sleep, it's around 10:30 now a days. A whole hour difference from when I lived, I tell you what.

I jumped into the boy's body and took over. Sound easy? It's not. They have to be unconsicous and you can't do anything that would wake them up. Sadly. That really limits what I can do.

I stood up and moved the body into the other bed and got out. Let's see know…the white haired boy had two souls. Therefore, it stand to reason that he can switch back and forth realativly easily. So, if I wanted the more child like one out, I'd have to attack and keep a barrier to keep him in place and prevent him from switching.

I looked at the clock again.

9:34 pm.

I still had time. Let's go see about our other target, shall we?

(AN - I'm skipping around on time here, for a little bit, so in the next chapter it will be around 10, but now it's 10:30)

Yami Bakura's POV

After spending the rest of the day avoiding as many people as possible, and pretending to be Bakura (which I must say is pathetically easy), I have now returned to our room to sleep, or rather, let Bakura's body rest. He didn't need it, and I didn 't need it, just his body.

After arriving in the room I found that Honda had crashed on Bakura's bed. I scowled and went over to Bakura's backpack to get out a bood of crossword puzzles. I wasn't letting down my guard. Even it it meant no sleep.

I don't know why Bakura enjoys these puzzles. Some of them are very difficult. But then, it might just be due to the fact that I know almost nothing about modern Japanese culture. Or maybe they're just difficult. Doesn't matter. Same difference. Hey, that's an oxymoron!! (I am easily distracted by the way, can you tell?)

Sighing I sat down at the table and pulled out a puzzle.

'A popular soda type drink found in most vending machines'

I stared blankly at it. 'What the hell? Ok…next one."

'Water that smells bad because it hasn't been moving is called ___'

'Wow. My vocabulary is really limited.'

///Yes. I've noticed that. I could help. I know the last two you looked at.///

//Quiet Malik. I haven't asked for help. And what were you doing spying like that?//

///But you need it, and I'm bored. Rishid has gone out and everyone has left for various countires. I am supposedly recovering from Jetlag///

//Shut up before I kill you.//

///Yes yes, I've heard it before. Now, are you sure you don't want help?///

I sighed. //I don't want help, but it will go faster if you do help. So….fill in the blanks oh wanna be pharoah.//

He mentally stiffened. ///The first one is Qoo.///

I blinked. //Qoo?//

///Yep. When I was in Japan before this with Isis, Rishid and I had a lot of apple Qoo. Twas really good./// (AN- I love Qoo and I ask you, why isn't it in the USA?!?!)

//I'll take your word on that.//

///MMhmm.///

//And the next?//

///Stargant.///

//Are you sure?//

///100% positive.///

//How do you know this?//

///8th grade vocabulary list.///

//Fine.//

'In Ancient Egypt the top prority in a house fire was to save the ____ before anything else.'

I smiled.

I wrote in C-A-T. (AN- I'd like to that the Pioneer Press for teaching me that this morning.)

///You Egyptians were crazy, you know that?///

//Yes. I take pride in that fact. And aren't you Egyptian?//

///You know what I mean///

I looked at the next one.

'A popular American punk group'

//Why is all of this crap in here?//

///Dunno. I don't know this one, sorry Yami Bakura. I'll ask Rishid.///

I yawned, realizing how tired Bakura was.

I switched with him and went to talk to Malik for awhile.

Alice's POV

Perfect.

Ryou Bakura's POV

I woke up at sitting over a crosseard puzzle with a few done. Yami must have been working on it because the pen was in my left hand (i.e. I'm making Yami Bakura left handed). I looked at the what he had done. Qoo, stargant, and cat. The last one I could see how he got, but the other two?

That was Yami for you, I suppose.

Blinking I realized how tired I was. I wen to my bed only to find Honda sleeping there.

'Geez' I thought.

I walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

Arms encircled me and I paniked. I tried to yell out to Kaiba, sense he was in the next room, ajoined to mine, but a hand, an actually hand, of someone alive, clamped down on my month.

"Shhh, Bakura, you'll wake Honda. And then we can't have any fun!" declared Honda.

The ghost….

Yami no Bakura's POV

Ah, crumb.

Malik Ishtar's POV

"Yami Bakura! What's happening?" I asked. He had started to get a paniky look in his eyes, and I felt panic rippling through the room. Not to mention me, which wasn't a good feeling at all. (AN- Though it might sound like he's panicing himself, he isn't. Think of actually ripples going through him)

"YOU! Stay here and don't move!" he yelled before leaving the room. Or trying. He hit the door and rebounded a good 10 feet.

I walked up to his side and helped him to his feet.

"I'm not sure, but that can not be good, can it?" I asked.

He stared at the door in sheer shock and horror.

Yes, Yami Bakura is very protective of Hikari Bakura. I don't know why, and I'm sure I don't want to know why, but I'm not even allowed to talk to him unless it's an emergency or he says it's alright. (AN- I was going to type something about Malik wishing his yami was protective, but I realized that in the point I'm corisponding to in the anime, Malik doesn't know he exisits yet cause Isis and Rishid didn't tell him. Soooo, make of it what you will.)

Yami Bakura went into deep thought. "Leave." He finally said.

"Why?"

"Does it matter? I can kill you here, you're in my mind. So leave before I decide to use that fact to my atvantage."

"Geez, alright." And I returned to my room in my bed in my boat. Rishid was standing over me, concern in his eyes.

"Master Malik, are you ok?" he asked.

"Fine."

"It sounded like you were holding a one sided conversation and then you started yelling so I came in to find you here. Are you sure you are ok?" he asked.

Ah ha, when I check out I must remember not to let my body act like I am in whoever's mind I'm in. I made a mental note.

"I'm fine. But I can't say the say for Bakura….either one of them…."

He gave me an odd look.

At least I was honest. Right?

Ryou Bakura's POV

This wasn't going to happen I thought. Using a trick my yami had taught me a while ago, (appearently it had helped him escape many a palace guard) I went limp until Honda lost his grip over my mouth.

I quickly rolled away, litterly rolling.

"KAIBA! MOKUBA! HELP!" I yelled.

Honda was looking at me, amusment in his..um…her…well, you know what I'm trying to say, eyes.

He began to laugh lightly.

"They wouldn't be of much help. Mokuba is in room 9, and Kaiba is…well…locked in his mind, I believe, until I can take care of him."

I broke into a cold sweat.

"You don't have to fight me, Bakura. It'll be much easier if you just retreat to your mind. Pwetty pwease?"

I must admit, coming from Honda's mouth, that sounded pretty funny.

"What do you want?" I asked, mentally scolding myself for letting my voice falter. Yami's wouldn't have.

"I want…" she/he tillted her/his head. "I want….dolls!" She/he said, eyes lighting up.

I blinked. I was about to ask what she/he meant when I remembered the doll of myself I'd found early that day.

Horror must have creeped into my eyes because she/he smiled, very, very, creepily.

Then she frowned at something over my sholder. I get my eyes on Honda's body. I knew this trick.

"What do you want brother? Can't you see I'm busy?"

I paused, unsure of what to do.

She/He nodded her/his head side to side. "Yes, I know. They are innocent and have done nothing for me, but really Davy, don't tell me you've never hurt anyone for fun."

She/He swallowed. "You wouldn't dare!"

Panic. Seeing it come from the undead means one of two things. One. They are about to be banished to heavan/hell. Two. Something that's holding them here will be removed.

I prayed for one.

"No, don't!" and she/he lunged forward, knocking me off feet and passing by me. (AN- it you've seen HP2, then imagine Riddle in the CoS saying this to Harry.)

I sighed with relief as I found yami's presense within my again.

//Bakura….AT LAST YOU SHOW SOME COMMOM SENSE!!! I'm so proud…// and he mentally wiped away a fake tear.
