I want to give a big hug to all my reviewers! You guys rock! Honestly! I was really happy when I received some reviews. Actually, I was running around my house screaming "I GOTSA REVIEW! GO ME! GO ME! WHO IS DA MASTA????!!!!!"
I'm really glad that my mom and dad were at work. I would have scared them. But I think I scared my next-door neighbours because I hear a baby crying. oops. "
Well my response to my reviewers:
Lady YuGiOh: Yes, it was fascinating! I was running around the house that whole day waiting. I went out side and scared some stray cat. Sorry Kage-chan!!!
Cateyes: Hi! I know you! Hi Kage!!! Yay! My friend reviewed! Yay! As for your question. no. People don't like OC's that much. Besides. It's kinda cliché-ish. Is that a word? Well it is know. Sorry.
Guess: You didn't need to use my e-mail. I know yours isn't working. But you didn't need to. I know my own e-mail; I'm not THAT forgetful. hehehe. But Thankies Nickey! Another friend reviewed!!!! YAY! My friends are nice.
Una1: Really? You mean that it's good? THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You like how I write 'thought-speak'? Thank you! Umm. What's this 'thought speak' you speak of? .
Blackcat212: YAY! ANOTHER FRIEND!!! I guess you are all starting to wonder if I force my friends into this aren't you? Hehehe. '
And that's it.
No, really. I only got five reviews. OH WELL! I'm happy.
Kyoko: Kay. Now just to let you people know, I've been writing in script form for sooo long. And I find it hard to write normally. But I can now. The problem is, I suck at third person. so the fic will mostly be in first person. mostly Bakura or Ryou's POV. I'm not a large fan of Yugi or Yami, but they will play important rolls. And don't worry Malik fans... he's here too!!!!!!!!!!! oI'm a fan of Malik-chan too. (Glomps Malik)
Malik: Ack! Kyoko. loosen the grip there.
Kyoko: oops. (Loosens grip but still clinging to him.) Sorry.
Malik: What is it with you and evil characters?
Kyoko: I pity you guys. Besides, I think you guys are all evil because you're so misunderstood!
Malik:???
Kyoko: Aww!!! Cute! (Turns to audience) I am not a fan girl. I am not rabid, Kage. don't say anything. and I don't glomp characters randomly. I only do that to evil characters, with the exception of Pegasus.
Kyoko: Kay! Time to get this fic started!!!
:P Mawha to you all and enjoy.

("My alter ego says you have mental problems." Tee-shirt quote"
At the dig
Bakura's POV
Ah! Yes, the open desert. Nothing but sand and sky for as far as I can see. The desert is as big as a sea. So vast and mysterious.
Wow! You're right Yami! It is big! Man I wish Yugi and co. could see this!
I remember a long time ago that desert nearly claimed my life and more than once. The desert can be a hard and unforgiving place. It's ether Kill, or be Killed. I learned that at young age.
But this aria of the desert is familiar. I don't know why, but it seems as if I've been here before. a long time ago.
I kneel down and place my hand upon the sand and concentrated. I feel sorrow, fear, pain, hatred and overall. death, within the ground. Something happened here. something dark, unexplained and full of pain. Not a battle. I would have sensed dread.
"Many people died here. you can sense it." I whisper. I was glad no one heard me.
It feels like that day. when all was engulfed within red flames.
I sigh. I remember that day well. All the screams, the yelling. The flames, the smoke, the ash and sparks. I remember it was early in the day, but all the smoke and ash turned it to an eternal night. I remember being pushed out of the house with my brother and being told to run and to never look back. I remember pleading, say I never wanted to go. I can't remember her face anymore, it's a blur to me now. I told myself I'd never forget her face. but all those years trapped within the never-ending darkness of the Millenium ring changed that. I don't remember anyone anymore. there all gone. I'm all alone.
Yami... your crying.
What? I haven't cried in over three thousand years. Only when... oh never mind. I tell Ryou as I furiously wipe my eyes with my hand. It was along time ago. there's nothing to worry about.
"Ryou? What are you doing?" I hear the brat's father call me.
"Umm." Darn I can't think of an answer.
"Professor!!! Professor!!!"
The brat's father and I look towards a man. He was tall, in his late thirties early forties at least. He had brown hair with grey peaking through. He wore glasses and an archaeologist outfit.
"Ah! Dr. Waterford, what seems to be the problem?"
That's what I'd like to know. he certainly is making a hell of a racket.
Yami. Let me take over.
I relinquish control to Ryou and head for my soul room. There's some extreme thinking I must do.
Ryou's POV
Yami seems, different at the moment. like he's stumbled upon an obstacle, and can't pass. Don't get in his way, when Yami can't overcome an obstacle, he tends to get moody. . un. yeah.
My mind snaps back to reality as I heard the word 'discovery'.
"Really! Well let's go see it! Coming Ryou?" My father asked.
"Yup!" This is what I've been waiting for. Do you honestly think I'd pass out on THIS!
Don't answer that people.
Yeah you would.
I mentally slap my Yami. I'm not that weak.
XD Ow.
I snicker. That was good. I've learned to fight back. And plus, if that doesn't work on him. I can always threaten to give the Ring to Yugi.
0.0 YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING!
Oh really? Watch me. You can be in the package to domino and I'll never see hair or hide of you ever again!
NO! ANYTHING BUT THAT! 0.0 that's low, even for me.
/You'd do it anyway if it were me in the Ring.
That shut him up. Well time to follow dad and go see this 'discovery'. I'm so excited. I wonder what it is. Maybe it's an entrance.
Or a piece of ancient pottery that's in pieces...
I sweat dropped at that comment.
Yami, I don't think this Waterford made such a fuss just because of a piece of pottery that's in pieces.
You never know. Archeologists are like that. Always excited about a discovery, no matter how important.
Um. right. You keep thinking that Yami.
Don't worry. I will. And with that he blocked the link. I'd rather not try to unblock the link; it gives you a major headache.
"Ryou? Coming or not?" My father called.
"I'm coming, I'm coming! Hold you horses!"
At the site of the 'discovery'
Ryou's POV continued
We walked over to where a group of people was crowded around what looked like a stone a door.
But it wasn't the door that caught my attention, but what was inscribed on it. An eye - not the eye of Horus - the eye of the Millenium Items. My eyes widened with shock. Who, what, where, when, why and how??! This was. extraordinary!
Oh my I'm talking like my dad.
Suddenly I felt a chill go up my spine. Something was happening to me. my vision was becoming blurry and black. Fear started to sweep through me. What was going on! I lost my sense of touch, smell, hearing and I couldn't taste the spearmint gum in my mouth. I tried to scream out but not a sound came out, because no one turned to look at me.
YAMI! WHAT'S GOING ON! I screamed mentally at my Yami.
Ryou. I know this place.
Yeah, yeah! That's nice! BUT YAMI! I CAN'T HEAR, FEEL, TASTE OR SMELL ANYTHING!!! I CAN'T EVEN SPEAK! WHAT'S GOING ON!!!
Not a noise came from my Yami. This silence was so unnerving. I felt alone, yet people surrounded me. I hate being alone. And I hate silence. People would see me as one who loves quiet places with no one but me. But no, I like to be places with lots of people and lots of noise, as long as I'm ignored. Even Yugi and co. se me like this, and I don't blame them. I felt and suddenly knew my Yami had taken over, but instead of going to my soul room saw everything going on, but I couldn't move, I was frozen.
Suddenly I heard a monotone, cold voice come from my mouth. Just that voice echoing through the darkness. One full of malice and ice. I wish I could shiver. It wasn't the words he spoke, they were fairly normal, but the voice.
"Open the door."
Everyone turned to face me. Some stared at me with shock, others blinking with surprise and disbelief.
"Ryou? Are you feeling ok?" My father asked 'me'. He put his hand on my shoulder gently, or what I thought was gently, for I could feel nothing.
"Release me you fool." The voice said not even turning to look at my father. 'I' looked at Dr. Waterford. "Have you opened the door?" The voice inquired.
Dr. Waterford began to protest when the voice silenced him with a hand. I guess I'll just call the voice him. For I don't think this is my Yami.
"Silence. I will hear none of you rambling Waterford. Now answer my question."
After a bit of hesitation Waterford gulped. "No. The door will not open, no matter how much we try. We've tried everything."
He smirked. I don't know how I knew, I just did. This is my body after all.
"I thought as much." He walked over to the door and pushed the pupil of the eye. It went out a little bit. Then he turned it to the Right. "East to the living lands of the great City and the ruling Pharaoh." And then he turned it to the Left. "West to the dying lands where the pharaohs old lie in eternal sleep." 1 Then he pushed it back in. I heard a click and he pushed the doors open.
Everyone gasped. He turned to face them all and he smirked. "Now it is." He said simply.
::We will meet again little one. Until then.::
Everything came back to me, so fast and furious. Then a sudden wave of nausea swept over me. Everything was spinning around and around. Then it abruptly stopped. And I collapsed to the ground.
My father ran over to me a lifted me up a bit.
"RYOU! Are you ok?!" His voice dripping with worry. He's such an OPP.
I feel my tears well up in my eyes as I soon remembered how scared I was. I hug my dad and start to cry. And then all went black.
Back at the hotel
Ryou's POV continued. again...
I feel the warm rays of the sun on my face. Ugh, I feel like I was just run over by an 18 Wheeler. I also here voices. On is my Yami's, not his old one but the one he had now, the one that lost it maliciousness, and another, heavily accented one that was deeper. And snores. I wanted to sweat drop.
I Opened my eyes and turned my head to see my Yami and. YAMI MALIK! Arguing as usual.
O.O
I turned the other way to see Malik sitting in a chair, sleeping. I sit up and hit him on the head. He groans and mumbles, "Not now, five more minutes Isis." I try again this time he shoos my hand away, "Stop it." I try again. This time he looks at me and shakes his head.
"Why'd you wake me up?" He asked.
"Hello to you too Malik." I say sarcastically. The Ishtar's are NOT morning people. They always sleep in. Who do I know this? When we went on a camping trip, I shared a tent with Malik. Ugh. He snores, talks and hates to be woken up.
Malik's POV
Ugh. Why'd he have to wake me up? I was asleep! I was up all night writing 'I will not touch, break or kill anyone' 400 times! (I had a two hundred lines like that. 'I will bring my supplies to class every day' ugh.) Isis made me do that before I helped out at the museum. She should be making my Yami write that out. I will get my revenge. once I sleep.
Yes sleep is good.
"Ryou? What happened at the dig? You're Yami's being rude and not telling."
I look over to see Bakura glaring at my Yami. U Nothing unusual there.
"Well."
After Ryou tells them about his experience (because I'm way to lazy to write that)
Malik's POV continued
"I guess this, person, that possessed you was guarding this place, or trying to get in. Spirits are like that at times. They hover around something, usually and object, and wait for someone to help them. In this case they needed a body. But what gets me is this. How could someone other than Bakura possess you? Is it possible?" I ask.
"Well, it could be possible that Bakura was in his soul room and Ryou's body was to weak, no offence Ryou, to keep this spirit out. Or it was a spell." My Yami concluded. "Ryou, at anytime were you not in the company of your father?"
Ryou's Brown eyes widened. "Yes actually. But I was with Bakura." My Yami put his hand to his chin in thought.
ARGH! I can't take this! I am about ready to pull my hair right out of my head.
"We met someone."
My Yami, who we know will call Ishtar because I'm tiered of calling him 'my Yami' all the time because it sounds like 'MIAMI', Ryou and I all turned to Bakura.
"You did?" Ishtar asked.
Man it's weird calling him my last name.
"Yes. He was a tall, and had a black cloak on, which I might say is SO clichéd. But that's besides the point. He said something about a curse and the end of the world and that entire hullabaloo. And he said he must warn the others and then he walked away in the big Kaiba dramatic trench coat effect."
We all stared at Bakura for a while.
Is he nuts?
I knew he had a few screws loose from all that time spent in the Millenium Ring, but honestly!
Awkward silence is here. Who shall break it?
"Did you know a leach can drink up to four times its weight in blood?" Ishtar (god that sounds SO weird) asked.
And we need to know this why?
"Did you know it's rude to stare?" Bakura asked in a serious 'If-you-don't- stop-you-will-not-live-to-see-tomorrow' voice. He even had the face to go with it.
We all looked at the white haired Yami.
"Umm. Bakura, you stare ALL the time. Your even doing it now." U I am so in for it know.
Bakura's POV
Malik.
Die a horrible death.
Must kill.
Later.
To tired to deal with the Ishtars now.
"Um. guys? How about we go back to fixing my problem?" Asked Ryou.
"How bout we go to the scene of this so called 'crime' and investigate?" Ishtar suggested.
"I think that's the most useful thing you've said all day." I reply with sarcasm laced in my voice.
Ryou's eyes widened. "WHAT! You guys are crazy! Now?"
"Why not?" Malik asked.
Ryou looked like he was about to hyperventilate (A/n: Big word!)"Because! First reason: My dad's crew is there. I don't want to get caught."
"Consider us invisible. I'm good at NOT getting caught." Ishtar said with a bit of smugness in his voice.
Ryou doesn't look convinced.
"Second reason: They haven't scouted the tomb! There could be anything in there! Disease or dead bodies in there!"
"I'm a tomb robber, I'll make sure we don't run into any 'undead' my girly aibou." I say.
Ryou thinks for a second and then in an uncharacteristic move smirks. "How are we going to get there?"
"Ah."
"Umm."
Ryou smiled evilly and stuck his tongue out. Childish Brat.
Then I thought of something.
"You drive. You're the one who has a driver's license. That isn't suspended." I say as I glare at Malik. Malik sweat dropped and pointed at Ishtar who glares at Malik.
Ryou looked at me. "Who says I wont drive us back here?" He says.
I thought for a minute, the kid was coming up with good points. But they can be countered.
"Who says YOU'LL be driving?"
They all stare at me like I'm crazy. I put my hand in my pocket at showed them Ryou's driving license. They all gaped, well not Ryou. Ryou looked like a boiled lobster he was that mad. What? I'm a thief. Let's just call it a hobby to randomly take Ryou's stuff.
This means one thing and one thing only.
I'm driving.
Dun, dun, dun. DUN!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 The Egyptians buried there dead on the western bank of the Nile where the sun set, because that is where Ra, the sun god dies. And they live on the eastern bank of the Nile because that is where Ra is reborn again.
Well that's it.
