Yea! Another chappie!
I helped a baby kitten escape a net this morning! My next door neighbor and I cut him free.
Sorry if Bakura's a little OOC in this chapter…
Oh, and be sure to read the notes at the bottom.

Beneath the Desert SandsBy: Chi Yagami

Chapter 7 – Hey, That's MY RingBakura suddenly became worried. What if someone found her? Surely they would mistreat her, like they did when he first showed up. No, he had to hide her. He ushered Anzu into the closet. He closed that door right as another one opened.
"Bakura!"
Paltrick smiled at his friend. "What's up?"
"Uh… Nothing!!!"
Paltrick studied his friend closely. Something was definitely wrong. He'd know Bakura for almost five years, and he wasn't acting normal today.
"Well, guess what?"
"What…?" Bakura asked.
"A sun person fell from the sun world! And it's a girl, too!" he replied excitedly.
Bakura gasped. They knew she was here!
"Bakura? What's going on? You're acting kind of strange…"
Anzu lay curled in a ball in the closet. What the heck were they talking about? Sun people? They must be talking about her and everyone who still lived on the surface.
A pile of dust lay in a corner, and Anzu was in a very uncomfortable position. When she moved into a sitting position, she caused the dust pile to blow apart, and poor Anzu caught a sneeze.
"ACHOO!!!"
Anzu tumbled out onto the floor at Paltrick's feet. Bakura just smiled sheepishly.
Now Paltrick was a good person. He knew that the town was searching for the female because she would make a good reproductive tool. He could've turned her in, but a voice deep inside told him otherwise.
Bakura helped Anzu to her feet.
"Bakura! It's the girl! Were you two having sex?"
This question caught the two off guard.
Anzu choked and had to sit down, and Bakura had to stifle back a laugh. He pulled Paltrick out in the hall to speak to him privately.
"Bakura, what's going on?"
"Listen: I found the girl and brought her back here for safe keeping."
"Aren't you going to turn her in? You could get paid big money!"
"No! There's something about her… She reminds me of…"
"…Anzu? Your long lost love?"
"Yeah… But it can't be, can it? I mean, that was like four years ago or something! I don't even know if it's her… She doesn't seem to recognize me at all!"
Paltrick took all of this in.
"Don't worry; I won't turn her in. But we'll have to hide her from mom and dad, OK?"
"Yeah… But what about Whyl and Danny?"
"Don't worry; I'm sure Whyl wouldn't do anything… and I'll keep Danny away from the house. But only until you find out whom she really is. If you discover that she's not your Anzu, I'm going to turn her in, OK?" Paltrick told his friend. Bakura nodded.
---------------------------------
That night, Bakura and Anzu sat on his bed. He wanted to sort this whole thing out.
He noticed her fiddling with something around her neck. It was a necklace of some sort…
"Hey! That's MY Millennium Ring! I stole it from Shadi!"
Anzu looked up at him. Could he possibly be…?
"I-I found this Ring after… after my friend disappeared. I gave it back to Shadi, and he gave it to me…"
"Oh Anzu! It is you! It's really you!" he cried, hugging and kissing her. But she pulled away.
"Oh Bakura, I was hoping you were still alive! But…"
"But what? Anzu, don't you see? You and I are finally together!" he said.
"But you left me! As soon as you were gone, things went upside down!"
Bakura's happiness instantly drowned.
"Yami's become so… so evil now… He's forcing me to marry him! Malik, Seth, and Jylie helped me escape, but I'm afraid that Yami will kill them!" she sobbed, falling into his arms.
Bakura stared at her in horror. He knew Malik was her best friend. Wasn't Seth that snobby priest? Well, apparently he'd changed… And Jylie? He didn't know who she was, but she sounded like one of Anzu's friends.
He got mad. That idiotic Pharaoh-wanna-be had made his Anzu cry. HIS Anzu. Hell would freeze over before Bakura let him get away with all of this.
"So, Anzu, you think I left you on purpose? Well, you're wrong! Listen woman, I never wanted to leave you, OK? The ground just opened up and swallowed me! There was nothing I could do about it!"
"Oh, Bakura, I'm sorry… but you broke my heart that day!"
"Well, I'm here now…"
"I don't know…"
"Listen Anzu," he said, grabbing her by the shoulders, "you and I are going to escape. We'll find away back to Egypt, OK? I promise. And then I'll show that no-good-prince what happens when he screws up."
"No! I mean… please, Bakura, don't kill him! He's not worth it…"
Bakura growled. He'd like to take a shot at that show-off.
Suddenly, Paltrick burst into the room.
"You've got to get out of here!"
"What?"
"GO!!! They've found her; they know she's here!"
All three of them stared in horror as they heard the front door crash.
