Xantcha: *sighs* Where's Ryou?

Bakura: Sleeping, he was quite tired after staying up half the night worrying about what you are going to do...

Xantcha: With what? *glares*

Bakura: Pairing him up with Hilary. He's so nervous, he's slept in for 2 hours now....

Xantcha: *giggles* Yeah, well, Hilary was ready to kill me when I suggested another character...

Bakura: Which one?

Xantcha: Never mind.....on with the story! By the way, I felt too lazy to put lyrics up, so try playing Inyyasha: Osuwari or Inuyasha Renga (means sit in Japanese) while reading this chappie.

Bakura: _ Tell me or- *pulls out plug on pc*

Xantcha: I NEVER SAVED!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!

Bakura: !0.0! *runs to find Ryou* Maybe he can calm her down.....

Xantcha: *Yelling while running after the tomb-robber* I don't own Yugioh, Hilary, Kurry or Riyo!!!

~Gunner_Yunie!~

-For giving me good ideas! She had better update soonish! ^___^- (I know, I know....I'm totally stealing Kurry-chan's style....)

Moaning lightly, Xantcha woke up with a pain in her neck.'What happened? Itai...my neck hurts...' Xantcha sighed as she tried to sit up, then fell back. Opening her eyes, crimson clashed once again.

Xantcha saw Yami shake his head with a small chuckle."You shouldn't be getting up with those injuries, you'll just make it worse." Xantcha shifted her position and glanced to the door of the room. "Where are we? I don't recognize this room..." Yami followed her gaze, then smiled. "We're at Tomb-robber's place...It was the closest to Isis'. Now, you had best lay down, ne? It's only 6:30 in the morning."

Xantcha blinked. "NANI?!" She then tried vainly to get out of bed until Yami helped her on her feet. "What's wrong? Did you miss an appointment or something?" Xantcha shook her head wildly. "Iie, I'm usually up and training with my sword by now." Yami sighed and rubbed his temples after he set Xantcha down lightly. "You are NOT getting up right now, kitto? Go back to sleep..." Xantcha huffed and put on a sulky look. "Fine, have it your way." With that, Yami walked out of the room.

Slowly, a few minutes later when Xantcha figured Yami was out of the way, she stood up and got her bearings. Sighing softly, she went to her bag and pulled out a small potion tube. Downing it, she smiled to her self. 'At least the old pharaoh didn't forget my bag...' Walking out of the room, she glanced to her left, then right to make sure it was clear. Smirking, she walked down the stairs to her left. She was about to sneak out of the door when she heard a grunt. "Hoeeeeee!????" Xantcha let out a yell and turned around wildly. Looking up into hard brown eyes, she immediately knew who it was.

"You really shouldn't sneak around near, or in, a tomb-robber's place. We know when we have unexpected guests". Xantcha sighed and looked around the corner where she and the tomb-robber were hiding. "Soooo, you're probably going to 'turn me in' to Yami so he'll make me go to bed again, huh? Think again, because I hate being locked up in one room, or house for that matter." Bakura smirked lightly following her out the door into the cool morning air. "No, I suppose not. Besides, I have a few questions to ask of you." Xantcha frowned lightly. If it's about that whole, being half-demon wolf, I'd rather not answer any questions." Bakura mumbled something incoherently, and shook his head. "No, it's rather....about why you and I...well, look so much alike. You and I act very much alike too." Xantcha blinked twice, then smiled. "Ahhhhh, that....well if you must know, I guess I can tell you. Are you sure you are ready for it though?" Xantcha giggled lightly as Bakura gave her a skeptical look. "Of course I'm ready to know. Why?" Xantcha stood back a few steps and grinned. "Big brother, it's nice to meet you once again.^_^" Bakura looked like this: 0.0, then fainted on the spot. Giggling lightly, she went into the house to find Ryou. Talking to her self as she walked in, she smiled. "I bet neither of them are going to believe this. OR Yami....he'll probably be ready to kill me. Oh well..."

Back in the house, Ryou was searching high and low, literally, for his dark side. 'Where'd he go? Usually I would have found him cursing something like the stove or microwave, but he's nowhere!' Ryou sighed as he thought of other places his yami would be. Talking to no one in particular, he came up with an idea. "Maybe Yami would know...not that he would want to know where Bakura was, of course. The only reason Yami let Bakura take Xantcha in our home was because he knew Bakura wanted to ask her a few questions." 'Speaking of which, where is she? She's not in her room....'

Almost as if on cue, Xantcha walked in through the back door with a grin on her face. "Hey, Ryou.....you might want to help me get Bakura to his bed...He's sorta blacked out..." Ryou blinked. "What?! Why is he blacked out?!" Xantcha giggled and looked into the Hikari's eyes. "Let's just say that 'Big Brother', did not expect me to tell him I'm his little sister." With that, Ryou passed out. Xantcha sighed. 'Guess I'll need the pharaoh's help after all...' Xantcha shrugged then smiled. 'Of all people, I thought Ryou would be able to handle it.....guess not.'

~Yami POV~

Yami growled to himself as he walked through the house, looking for Xantcha. 'I told her not to get up!' Sighing, he opened the back door, and gaped at what lie on the ground. "What in Ra's NAME?"

Xantcha came flying in the back door behind him, and grinned at the shocked look on Yami's face.

Yami looked to Xantcha quickly and had the most confused look on his face that Xantcha had ever seen. "Let's just say that Bakura...." Then she stopped. 'No, I'll tell him when he's sitting-or laying, down.' "Never mind, let's just get him to his room....We're going to have to get Ryou too." Yami was about to say something, but thought against it and shook his head. 'No, I'd better let her tell me afterwards if it's this shocking.'

After the owners of the millennium ring were put on their beds, Xantcha decided to explain to Yami what happened. "Yami, you had best lay down for this." Blinking, and very confused. Yami sat on Xantcha's bed as Xantcha sat on a chair in front of him. They both locked eyes before she spoke.

"Yami, you know how Bakura and I look alike? If you want to know why, use common sense....Think about it." Yami stopped and went into deep thought before muttering 'Oh my Ra....' and falling back on the bed. Giggling, Xantcha lifted his legs up onto the bed before taking out her cell phone. 'I hope Yugi takes it better than Yami did.'

At the Game Shop, Yugi was tending customer after customer. Finally after he was allowed to take a break and his Grandfather took over, Yugi picked up his ringing cell phone.

"Yeah, who is it?"

Xantcha giggled and cheerily answered. "Hey Yugi, it's Xantcha!"

Yugi grinned. "Hey Xantcha! How are you and Yami doing? Do you think I could talk to him?"

Xantcha smirked. "Sorry, but I'm the only one awake. The others are....kinda passed out."

Yugi gasped. "Why? What happened?"

Xantcha smiled looking over at the stone cold out pharaoh. "Well, some information I gave them was.....shocking."

Yugi blinked. "What? What did you tell them?"

Xantcha sighed. "To be precise...I'm the tomb-robber's Sister."

Yugi smiled on the other side of the phone. "I figured as much. So, when you guys coming back?"

Now it was Xantcha's turn to blink. 'He took it well...'"What do you mean, 'you guys'? I have my own place, you know."

Yugi sighed. "Oh yeah, well, you do know the tournament starts in 3 days....you know, Battle City two?"

Xantcha nodded to herself. "Right, I'll have to upgrade my deck wherever possible. Anyways, I had best be going. Take care."

Yugi grinned. "Yeah you too, bye!"

Xantcha whispered a 'Bye...' before thinking about Battle City 2. 'I wonder what is going to happen....I'd might a well go outside and train for awhile.' Walking outside she sensed something. 'Oh boy....'

She glanced to her right and saw two shadows. She transformed to half-demon once again and attacked. The shadows were much more evasive this time around, and were dodging every round of attacks. Xantcha took a vain swipe with her half-demon claws in vain, until she heard a female war cry. Turning around and receiving a blow to the back, she stared in open shock as a female with black hair came around her and attack one of the shadows. "Who are you?!" Xantcha cried out as she took a swing with her sword at one shadow. The female warrior that she had just met was slashing wildly at the shadow in front of her, and was landing almost every blow. Xantcha saw what she was using and opted to two weapons: two daggers at her waist in a belt. The warrior was using two sais (dagger-like objects, although extremely sharp) and was an expert at using them by Xantcha's observations. The two teamed up and destroyed one shadow while barely fending off the other one. When the one they were focusing on was gone, they worked on the second. Xantcha finally took aim, and through the two daggers at the shadow, pinning it to a tree.

The mysterious warrior stabbed it one final time and it vanished into the cold air. Sucking in a breath and taking in her surroundings. She finally laid eyes on the warrior. With black hair, eyes blue as ice with a black and blue sweater and a black hooded cloak,(check out my user page, I'll have a link to it.) The stranger smiled at Xantcha. Xantcha blinked twice. 'Who is she?' Xantcha glanced at her sais, and saw that the handle had the millennium eye. The two looked at each other until the stranger spoke. "Good evening, mistress....I suppose you know me already?" Xantcha closed her eyes and sighed. "I do not remember your name, and yet I know your face. Would you please reintroduce yourself?" 'Why am I being so royal? I'm usually more laid back than this...'

The figure gave a small grin and spoke once more. "I am Riyo Taccaceae, your old guard and friend, if you remember." Xantcha gasped. "RIYO!!! It's been so long! How are you?" Riyo shook her head. "Fine, I've been fine...as much as you have been, at the least." Xantcha giggled. "I just can't believe it...does Hilary and Kurry know you are here? I am sure they would love to see you once again!" Grinning widely now, the ninja guard shook her head. "No I haven't, I decided to come see you first. But then, I saw you in trouble and helped out. You always get yourself into trouble, now, don't you?"

Xantcha sighed. "Please don't treat me like that just because I'm 16 and you're 19! It's only three years!" Xantcha knew she was whining, but couldn't help it. As much as she had missed her old friend, she hated the fact that Riyo was treating her like a kid. Riyo shook her head. "Sorry, I still have to get used to talking.....modernly." The two talked for a while before Xantcha suggested that they go inside. Xantcha giggled as she checked the clock. "We've been talking a long time! Why don't we go see is

Yami and the others are awake?" Xantcha had explained earlier what happened, and Riyo had nearly died laughing. Riyo smiled. "You mean your brother, or should I now say brothers, and the pharaoh? Why not?" Riyo emphasized pharaoh and Xantcha growled. As they walked upstairs, they noticed that the millennium puzzle holder and ring holders, were sound asleep. Xantcha had an idea. "Why don't we check out that game shop down the street? I know it doesn't seem like anything except for gambling or something, but it's worth a look."

The two walked down the street after Xantcha left a note for the others. Walking into the game shop, Xantcha looked around, eyes gleaming. "Kawaii! Check out all of these Dungeon Dice Monsters! How come Yugi's game shop doesn't have any?" A soft voice spoke from behind them. "Because we are friendly competitors, although he has more things to sell than I do, I still give him a fight." Riyo and Xantcha turned around to come face to face with the creator. "And you are the creator of this game, no doubt, ne Duke Devlin?" Xantcha glanced at her old guard, and started ti giggle, the creator of DDM and Riyo were staring at each other. Smiling, Xantcha walked off as the two talked. After a few minutes Xantcha and Riyo said farewell and walked out of the shop. Not after of course, buying a bunch of DDM to collect. Xantcha had asked specifically for a certain monster and Duke made a deal with her.

"Riyo, can I ask you a favor?" Riyo was on seventh heaven after talking to the emerald eyed boy, and Xantcha had to call her three times before she answered. "Hai?.....^_^" She was smiling from ear to ear, and Xantcha was ready to die laughing at her friend. "You know how Duke didn't have that one DDM.....that I'd have to get specially made? Duke and I made a deal.......now, don't pass out on me, I've had enough of that from this morning." Riyo shook her head and was still on a daze until Xantcha spoke again. "He agreed to make the Dice Monster on one condition.....you have to go with him for dinner." Riyo looked like this: *.*, did an anime fall then got up and grinned. "OF COURSE I WOULD!! WHEN??" Xantcha was killing herself laughing and finally got enough composure to give Riyo the phone number. "It's up to you. He said to give you this." Riyo had been ranting on and on about telling her if this was a joke or not until Xantcha gave her the number. Riyo laughed giddily and started to talk fast. "Oooooohhhhh, Kawaii! Thank you! But...." Xantcha blinked. "But..?" Riyo sighed as she got over her giggling. "I've never gone on a date before though!!!" Xantcha shook her head laughing. "Well, think of something..." Xantcha did not expect to hear what came next from Riyo's mouth. "Well........how about a double date?" Xantcha passed out for a few minutes before regaining consciousness. The first word out of her mouth was one that Riyo expected. "NANI?!"

Bakura: *sighs* I can't believe you are my sister....

Xantcha: *grins* Only in this ficcy.....otherwise, I'd be someone else's sister!

Ryou: I don't wanna know who.....
