Authoress babbles: Unh, hi. Yeah, I've been avoiding the fic again. (Fic: MAWHAHAHAHAHA) (Whimpers) DON'T HURT ME MINNA-SAN! My fic's just been scaring me. (Fic: FEAR ME!)

Bakura: (snickers) what she's saying is she's a lazy bum. She's been holding this off for far to long. Like 2 weeks I think. Well were all kinda glad she got off her ass, stopped complaining about her braces and her Bronze cross exam and actually stated doing some work. Besides... HE'S GONE!!!! Lost for forever and eternity! Mawhahahahahahahahah! (Ryou: you'll all understand later)

(Random moment) Ryou, Bakura and Kyoko: (sing I love rock and roll by Joan Jet... horribly)

Yami: What in the name of Ra, Osiris, Isis, Hathor, Horus, Seth and any other Egyptian Gods that I somehow forgot to name is going on here!!!

Bakura, Kyoko, and Ryou: WERE SINGING!

Touzo: Just ignore them your Pharaoh-y-ness. They had sugar. Sorry, I'll let you deal with them.

Yami: What!?! You can't do that!

Touzo: I just did. (Strolls off to do what the King of Thieves dose in his spare time... what dose he do?)

Touzo: none of your business.

(How rude. For that, your doing the disclaimer that I forgot to do for so many chapters!)

Touzo: Kyoko-san owns nothing.

(Hey! yes I do! I own my Shonen jump graphic novels!)

Touzo: Last time I checked your parents pay for them...

(...)

Touzo: And I quote your friend: You're actually tolerable when you're silent.

(*)

Yami: you're not a very... enthusiastic person.

Touzo: Well duh. Do I look like Bakura?

Cast: ...

Touzo: Never mind. I'm just the most sensible of the three.

Ryou: Actually I think we all agree that I'm the most sensible. I'm actually a kind person, un-like some.

Touzo: We shouldn't make this an argument. But we can all agree that Bakura is NOT the sensible one.

Bakura: I agree! Wait... what?

(Now, without further ado, the fic! Dun, dun, dun, dun!)

Warnings: Might be some... ah what the heck! Just watch where you tread... step... read or what ever! Just watch out and beware labeled hazards! (Bakura is one of them by the way)

Bakura: this fic has been brought to you by: SAND! It's everywhere... get used to it. (Stoll that from Aladdin and the king of Thieves... Gotta love Genie!)

(Oh yeah, this is this chapter's 3rd time being deleted... Grrrr... stupid computer)

Seven curses of Egypt

Chapter nine

Quote: "I am free of all prejudices. I hate everyone equally." ~that just screams Baku, but that dose not apply to me.

~~~~

Narrator: Previously on Survivor!

Bakura: Cut!

Narrator: Hun? Hey where's director-Baka? (a.k.a: Kyoko)

Bakura: Ah, she's on a... what is she doing again?

Ryou: She's on her Chocolate break right now.

Bakura: ............... ri---ght. Ok. From the top!

Ryou: Were sorry for the interruption... now back to our scheduled programming

~~~~

.oO0* Previously on The seven curses of Egypt! *0Oo.

Well as it so happens Yami and Yugi are on there way to the dig [insert Bat man music here]

Bakura: NANANANANANA BAT MAN!

Collective: [Glare]

Bakura: Sorry...

Ahem! As I was saying. Yugi and Yami are on their way to the rescue.

Ryou and Malik have been found by Ishtar at last, and they have a happy reunion... not.

As for Bakura and Hyakuhei... well we haven't seen them since chapter 7 where we left off with the scream of "BAKURA!!!!" Well... hopefully we will see them this chapter if the authoress can actually get off her butt and do something (HEY)... so we shall finally see what is going on with them hopefully [glares cast at Kyoko] ([sweat drop] working on it...). And well see if Hyakuhei will actually be... disposed of for lack of character. So, without further ado... CHAPTER 9!!!

.oO0* STARTING IN... 10...9... what comes after 9?...6...5...4...3...2...1...1/2...1/3...1/4...1/5... Ah what the heck! Here we go! *0Oo.

After Yugi and Yami were dropped off at the dig, Yami found the entrance to cave in a very familiar fashion as to how Bakura found it. Lets se the replay shall we?

"Yugi, we've been searching for an hour! They're not—oof!"

"Yami? Were are you?" Yugi asked, obviously worried about his aibou.

"Down here Yugi!" Yami's voice echoed out of nowhere.

"Where is 'down here', yami? I just see shallow pits where the archeologists were—oof!"

Yami chuckled as Yugi plummeted and landed on his bottom. "This is 'down here' Yugi. And by the looks of things," Yami said, holding up a small, red pocketknife. "The tomb robber and his band of merry men are down here as well."

Yugi stared at the pocketknife. "Yami Bakura never goes *anywhere* without that! You think he'd notice by now!" He exclaimed quietly, his voice echoing down the corridor.

"Which leads me to believe that something's out of place. And as much as I'd hate to admit it, I have this odd feeling Thief is in trouble." Yami said with a calm voice. Yugi didn't hear the slight worry in his voice.

(You see, as much as Yami and Bakura loathe each other's guts, they still care for one another as 'rivals'. It plays out soon. [Giggles] Kinda like "best Rivals 4-ever!" They do care for another as in... Ah I'm confusing you! Let me re-start! They care for one another, kinda like friends. But they deny it so much. It's like "yeah, I'll miss him, but only because he's a good rival." [Laughs] Ah, forget it! It plays out! You'll see what I mean later!)

~.oO0*Time sure flies when your having fun... NOT!*0Oo.~ (That was a fast forward by the way)

"Yami! Never, ever do that again!" Yugi yelled. Yugi still had the after affects of the scare Yami gave him. (Which was Yami taping his shoulder after there long walk in the dark silence... scary)

"But Yugi! Come see what I found! Weather it's good or bad, I don't know..." Yami said, motioning for Yugi to follow him. He led Yugi down the corridor till they reached an opening. It was very dark in there, but the light of their key chain flashlight caught a glimpse of dark silver, tinted blue. (Key chain flashlight... we're not allowed to have those at school... I wonder why...)

The spiky haired duo creped over towards the mass of silver and discovered that it was hair. Hair that belonged to a skinny boy who was face down on the round, limp and probably unconscious.

"Oh my Ra." Yami breathed, knowing exactly who the boy was. The only problem was, what was he doing unconscious?

"Oh my! BAKURA!" Yugi squeaked very loudly (Squeak! Squeak! ^_^), shaking the limp boy. "Come on! Wake up! Wake up! Come on your not that heavy of a sleeper!"

"Yugi..." Yami said carefully. "That's not the Bakura you think he is..."

Yugi looked at Yami with amazement and down at the body. The back at yami. Then at the body. This annoying cycle went on for about 30 seconds until. "Oh my goodness. What do you think happened Yami? Isn't it a bit... odd to find a millennium spirit unconscious and in this state. He looks horrible."

Yami bent over and picked the body up. Bakura may be taller than Yami, but Yami knew it was only magic, since both spirits were practically the same size in real life. Yami de-spelled the magic and Bakura's height diminished until he was about an inch taller than Yami. Bakura was also light, being a thief. So with the Tomb Robber being carried bridal style, Yami marched off... did he even know where he was going?

Yugi sweat dropped. "Yami, we're going in the other direction." He stated.

Yami turned around quickly, at the same time nearly dropping his fellow yami/rival in the process. "Oh! Well let's go!" Yami said, with a large genki smile that clearly was in embarrassment.

While the pair of the puzzle walked off, Yugi saw the other yami snuggle into his Yami with a content smile on his face. (You'll understand later... [Giggles] I'm going to have so much fun with this!) Yugi eyed the Spirits for a while from the corner of his eye.

'Could they be... no. It doesn't seem plausible. Unless... Nah! They hate each other... right?'

Yugi looked again. 'Well Yami seems to be holding him a bit possessively. And Yami Bakura doesn't seem to uncomfortable with his current situation...' An evil idea formed in the little light head. 'Oh wait tell I tell Bakura!' (Remember, he calls Ryou... Bakura)

(I think you know what Yugi's thinking right? And no, this is not Yaoi.)

.oO0* NOW... with Whitey (Ryou) Blondie (Malik) and Pinhead (Ishtar)! Don't worry, we'll get to Bakura A.S.A.P *0Oo.

"Argh! We've been walking for hours and we still can't get out! This is worse than Bakura's soul room when he decides to be complicated!" Ryou yelled, hands pulling at his long locks of hair with frustration. Malik and Ishtar weren't making it any easier with their constant bickering and 'Are we there yet' s. Now he knew why Bakura was reconsidering bringing them along.

~~Ryou's POV~~

The Prince of Deceit was right for once... ok so he was right about a lot of things, but it doesn't mean I have to agree with his logic. He's crazy anyways. He probably doesn't see the depth of his thoughts. Heh. No wonder Kaiba has respect for him. If he only knew the depth of Bakura's insanity.

Bakura's sanity is bound to the Ring as he is; it's the root of his mental state, his anchor that barely keeps him stable. It's the source of his insanity and the only thing that is truly keeping him sane. The Magic sedates him and he's hopelessly addicted to it. The only way to rid him of his insanity is to destroy the Ring...

But in turn, that would also destroy him. Oh! Why is everything so bloody confusing?

~~End Ryou's POV~~

"Oh lookie! I see two oddly shaped hairstyle disasters coming this way Ryou- chan! Look, look! See not how the hair sticks up? Such funny-ness! Are they clowns Ryou-chan? They look funny. And they're short. Verrrrrrrrrrrrrry short." Malik said with a giggle. They were doing this to bug Ryou. Why? They just felt like it.

"Looky! They seem to be carrying something! Ack! It's Bakura!"

That got Ryou's attention. Ryou turned to see what appeared to be Yugi and Yami walking along with an unconscious Bakura in Yami's arms.

"BAKURA!!!" Ryou screamed with both fear for his yami's state and also of happiness. (You'd think he'd be happy he was gone... heh)

.oO0* NOW with Bakura and Hyakuhei *0Oo.

"BAKURA!!!"

The voice echoed all over the room. Bakura smiled slightly and sighed tragically. Hyakuhei looked at his host who smiled sadly at him with blank eyes.

"What was that?" Hyakuhei asked.

Bakura sighed again. "Ryou. I seems as if your visit is now going to be cut short. Such a pity, I wanted to spend some time together. Maybe have some tea. Oh well." Bakura walked across the room.

"So... how can I leave?" Hyakuhei asked the unstable spirit.

Bakura turned and looked at him with a look that clearly stated: What?

"You know... Kura said you're the only one who can get me out of here."

No response from the ancient evil. Bakura stared at him... dead, lifeless eyes piercing into him. Hyakuhei pushed down a shudder. Bakura's voice cut through the air sharply yet smoothly.

"Who said anything about leaving?"

Bakura's words echoed all around him. Not leaving?

"But... he said... Kura said you'd let me go!"

Suddenly Kura came from behind Bakura smirking. "You're a fool Hyakuhei. Trusting strangers. Tisk, tisk. What would your mother say? But you forgot one little thing Hyakuhei. I AM Bakura. We were planning on getting rid of you for a while. I gained your trust, brought you to Bakura to be disposed of. But since Ryou is calling us, we really need to get rid of you immediately. I was so looking forward to your disposal. Heh. Aku could actually have had some fun. Oh well." Kura said with a shrug.

Bakura ruffled Kura's hair. "Why don't you go play with Diaboundo [1] while I get rid of this parasite? Kay"

Kura smiled brightly. "OK!" he said cheerfully and ran off, fading as he did.

"And don't let him near Ryou's room! You know what happened last time!" But Kura was already gone. "Oh well... Poor Ryou."

Bakura turned to Hyakuhei. "Well... ta ta!" Bakura said and pulled a leaver that wasn't there before... or was it? Ah! Must have skipped it when I was describing the room for you. Shame on me, shame on me! Oh well... it's here now.

As Bakura pulled the leaver a hole opened up underneath Hyakuhei, and since Hyakuhei IS effected by gravity... well, you get the point. Hole + unsuspecting victim over it = Falling.

Bakura put the leaver back in it's spot (and the hole covered up again) and sighed. "I now you're here Touzo. What do you want?"

"Why didn't you warn him about ANYTHING?" Touzo asked, arms crossed over his well-built chest. (What it IS! You have to see him in the ancient Egypt arc! [Drools])

"Because Aku is bored out of his mind and Diaboundo is sick and tired of being his target practice. Now if you'll excuse me... Hikari no Baka is calling me." And with that Bakura faded away, like he wasn't there. Touzo just shook his head. 'I am one messed up child.' He thought and he left the room, hoping he could find Aku and tell him about his new target.

.oO0* Now... back with Hikari no Baka and the other fellows *0Oo.

Bakura groaned quietly and eyes blinked a few times before opening his eyes and yawning like a kitten (pet pet ^^). He turned to see the happy faces of Ryou, Malik, Marik and the Pharaohs Hikari. He blinked at them a few times as if saying 'What the hell?' or 'what happened?' But Bakura isn't stupid. Oh no. He knows where Yugi is, Yami isn't far behind. He looked up to see..

....................................

LITTLE GREEN ALIENS FROM MARS!!!! (Purple People Eater song is playing in the background)

No I'm just kidding. He didn't see little green aliens from mars and there was no Purple People eater song. He saw Yami. (Which in his opinion is even scarier)

Blink. [That was Yami]

Blink. [That was Bakura]

Blink. [That was Yami]

Blink. [That was Bakura]

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Bakura screamed in horror and kicked franticly to get out of the fellow yami's arms. Yami, being strong – but not strong enough to hold a flailing Bakura who is in a state of panic – dropped Bakura for fear of getting any external damage from the other yami.

Bakura stood up and ran behind Ryou. All you could hear was an odd mixture of a hiss and a mumble of 'Demon Pharaoh', which became a mantra.

Ryou turned and hugged the unsuspecting Bakura and further traumatized him. Bakura continued his screaming until Ryou let go of the screaming yami. They all stared as the yami continued to scream even after Ryou had released him from the 'evil' hug. Malik and Ishtar, who were actually being silent during this... event, looked at each other and nodded with evil gleams in there eyes and scary smiles.

This can't be good.

They leapt at Bakura and both grabbed the poor unsuspecting yami, just as he finished his screaming. Malik clamped a hand over Bakura's mouth, to prevent him from creating further headaches while Ishtar tied the poor yami up with some string that he conveniently had hidden some where in his attire. This struggle continued until Bakura was lying down on the ground with the two troublemakers sitting on him to prevent him from getting up.

All was quiet.

That is until Malik let out a scream of pain and held his bleeding palm to his chest. He stood up and pointed at Bakura, who was smirking evilly (well is there any other way to smirk?).

"HE BIT ME!" Malik screamed. "THE LITTLE URCHIN BIT ME!"

Bakura's smirk grew wider, showing sharp teeth just a bit. "Well, that's what you get for sticking your hand where it doesn't belong. Besides, you know I'm volatile and I wont hesitate to harm you. I grew up that way. I don't care." And after that Bakura stuck out his tongue in a childish manner to prove his point. After that he became impartial.

Ishtar wasn't too happy about it all though and elbowed Bakura in the gut. Bakura didn't even flinch, not acknowledging him in the slightest. "Temper, temper Ishtar. It's what we call self-defense. Now, would you be so kind as to releasing me from my confinements please?"

Ishtar reluctantly undid the ropes, knowing if he didn't there would be hell to pay.

Bakura stood up and dusted himself off. He looked at Ryou and noticed something. He walked over to Ryou and circled him a few times. Something was different. Something wasn't right. Ryou seemed different...

Soon the realization dawned upon the yami. Horror coursed through him. Ryou was...

Taller than him.

.oO0* To be continued... *0Oo.
