I DO NOT OWN ANY CHARACTERS FROM YU-GI-OH! THE CREDIT GOES TO MR. Takahashi (I cannot spell his name!)

Ayah captivated the Pharaoh. He loved the way she smiled and laughed as she danced, the way she moved her hips and body to the music. Atem felt his body tense up; he wanted her. In a corner, Priest Seto stood leaning against a gold pillar with his arms crossed over his chest. He looked and the Pharaoh and back at Ayah. Jealousy flooded his thoughts, I'd better make my move when I have the chance, otherwise I will never win her.

Outside, Bakura made his way to the Palace. He threw a rope to the top of the back wall and tugged on it to make sure it was secure. Good. Now to get those sennen items. He smirked and climbed up the rope. At the top, he gathered up his rope and looped it over his shoulder. The sneaky thief peered carefully into the window in font of him. Ahh...shall I crash the party? His eyes searched the people in the room for the sennen item holders. His search was halted when he caught sight of Ayah who was dancing flirtatiously. Mmmmm. The tomb robber licked his lips. Now there's the kind of woman I want. I gotta get my hands on her. Bakura glanced at the Pharaoh. He can only watch as I snatch his prize away. Bakura tied the hook end of the rope around a pillar covered with Egyptian markings. The other end of the rope he tied around his waist and dove through the window.

Everyone was taken by surprise as the King of Thieves came flying through the window. "What the...!" exclaimed Atem as he stood from his throne. Bakura pushed himself to the left to swing over in Ayah's direction. Ayah tried to duck, but in a flash of lightning the thief grabbed her, swung the other way, and pushed up off the wall sending them both back to the window. "AYAH!" the Pharaoh yelled. He growled, by the time someone made it to the second floor Ayah and the thief would be gone. Bakura held her wrists tightly with one hand while untying the rope around his waist with the other. Ayah struggled in his grasp, "Let go of me you son of a..." He pulled an onion out of his pocket and stuck it in her mouth. Bakura leaned forward to whisper into her ear, "Wouldn't want any dirty words escaping from your luscious lips." She kicked him in his most tender area. "GRAHHHH!!" he let go of her and cried out in pain. She took the onion out of her mouth and shoved it into his. "I think you'll enjoy this onion more than me!" she shouted at him. She grabbed his hand a bit hard into it for good measure.

Bakura sank to the ground, his eyes watering because of the pain, looked up at her angry face. She wiped the blood from her lips with the back of her hand then smeared it on the robber's cheek. "Try that again and I will unleash Ra on you." Ayah told him sternly. She walked to the window and looked down. The guards had left to come save her from Bakura. "My Pharaoh!" she called down to Atem. He looked up at her suprised. She's still there! "Catch me!" she yelled just as she leap from the window edge. Atem ran over to the high window just in time to catch her. She fell into the Pharaoh's arms, her dress fell over his head giving him a view that he wasn't prepared to see. Ayah blushed with embarrassment, "Oh! I am so sorry, my Pharaoh!" He helped her brush the skirt off his face and back into proper position. "No need to apologize, Ayah. Are you alright?" "Yes, but I worry about the tomb robber. I hurt him badly." She looked up to the window she had jumped from, but the thief was gone. "I'm sure he's fine and will be back again." Atem said. "You wouldn't mind sleeping in my chambers tonight, would you? I just want to make sure you are safe." he asked awkwardly. "I understand, my Pharaoh and I wouldn't mind at all." She wrapped her arms around his neck and layed her head on his chest. "Double the guard." Atem commanded. "Bakura won't find it easy to enter next time." He carried Ayah to his bed chamber.

Bakura cursed as he made his way back to his followers. "Damn! She got me! I want her so bad I'll do anything!" he sighed and said to himself, "Nevermind about her, I MUST get the sennen items, the key to complete power!" He thought for a moment, "Raiding the Pharaoh's tomb sounds like fun." He winced and held his damaged hand. Dark men on black horses rode up to him. "Why didn't you distract the Pharaoh?" he yelled at them. "We didn't hear your signal, sir." one of them replied. "That's right, I was distracted." Bakura said. "Tomorrow night I'll raid the Pharaoh's tomb. All of you should be ready to stand guard." "Yes, sir. We are yours to command." The dark men on horses mysteriously vanished into the night. Bakura plopped himself down leaning his back against a monster of a rock. He tore off a part of sleeve from his scarlet red robe and used it to bandage his weakened hand. The thief slouched and put his hands behind his head. He closed his eyes and let his thoughts mingle into one.

::::::Bakura's Dream:::::::

Ayah kissed him with flaming passion, "Bakura." she gasped as he stroked her sides through her beige dress. Suddenly, she rolled off him and sprang to her feet, ran to a boulder to hide behind. She revealed her head from around the boulder. Bakura had rolled onto his stomach and looked at her questioningly. She smirked at him then hid herself from his view. With her dress in hand, she held her hand out from behind the boulder and let her dress drop to the ground. She removed her under clothing and let them fall to the ground, keeping herself hidden but allowing Bakura to see only her hand and her clothing on the ground. Bakura felt excitement growing inside him. He stood and saw Ayah dash from behind the boulder into the night. He ran after her, his feeling growing stronger and hoping noone would see her in this state of undress.

Bakura slept on with a very pleased smile plastered on his face.
