Ok, I finally decided to start writing this.

Bakura: About time. You've been hiding from it.

Shhhh! Don't tell the readers that. Anyway I'm praying the new edit thing on fanfiction.net will actually work. I've always wanted to use bold and italic and center. Indents too. So I'm just really happy about all that. Thanks Hpwannabe69 for telling me that at school. And yes, I am psychic. I knew the bell was gonna ring! Mawhahahahaha! Fear my seeress powers!

Bakura: (raises eye brow)

Ryou: (rolls eyes)

Damn muses. They deserted me for a while! I found the after a while. Go me. I am the master of scavenger hunts (in all honesty, I suck. But no one needs to know that). So without further delay lets start this thing!

Current music: Caribbean Blue –Enya

Warnings: Mild bad words like shit, nothing bad

Extra Notes: For all you who are wondering... I spell duct tape 'duck tape' because the 'duck tape' is duct tape with duckies on it! Just wanted to clear that up with you all. I knew it was spelled Duct tape. I'm no baka, I'm in the smart kids class

The Seven Curses of Egypt

Chapter 11

"Oh I should have prayed to the ancestors for luck." "How lucky can they be Mumbles they're dead." Fa Li and Grandmother Fa from Mulan

"They popped out of the snow! ... LIKE DAISIES!!!" Mushu from Mulan

Ryou's POV

"Ryou... something... something is REALLY wrong." Yugi said quietly over the phone. Now generally I was worried. Who wouldn't? Now if this were Joey I would have to restrain myself from hanging up the phone, because his emergencies are... to put it bluntly... stupid.

"Why? You're not growing?" Bakura's tired voice came over the line.

"BAKURA! That was mean!" I yelled at my yami who was on the other phone. Honestly he could have picked a better time to start annoying people! "And this could be serious." I added for good measure, not that it would do anything.

"Little people make everything sound serious..." Bakura mumbled. I restrain myself from saying that he is now tall as Yami when including his (Yami's) hair. It's better not to remind him. He's still upset about it all.

"I heard that Tomb Robber! How dare you make fun of my Hikari!" Yami yelled, seemingly joining in on our conversation.

'Great more people. Just what we need.' I thought.

"Ok! Since when has this been a four way phone line? Bakura, Yami... GET OFF THE PHONE!!! Please." I half yelled half stated. And look, I even took the time to be polite and say please. Remember, manners matter!

"..." Silence on the other line. I think Bakura's old age has caught up with him and he's deaf. Senile people are like that sometimes. But don't tell them I said that, the lady down the street thinks I'm an absolute dear.

"... Ow. Thief, your Hikari has one hell of a loud voice."

'Damn proud of it!'

"You get used to it after a while Pharaoh."

'Then how come you scream every time I do to tell me to, and I quote, "shut the h-e-double-hockey-sticks up"?'

"Ahem. Off before I burst your ear drums." I said rather calmly. FEAR ME!!!!!!!!!! Mawhahahahahahahahah!!!! Ok, that was a very odd outburst. Just pretend that never happened.

"Eeeep!"

"Oh how manly, Thief."

"Off. NOW!" I yell. My patience is growing thin.

"Eeeeep!" Click!

"... Squeak!" Click!

'Oh how manly of you my pharaoh.' I thought with a laugh.

3rd Person POV

"That was really weird." Yugi said. "Anyway, something really weird is happening Europe. It's all over the news."

"Really? What was it all about?" Ryou asked, curiosity evident in his voice.

"Unh..." Was Yugi's reply. "I don't think I'm the one to tell you. Just turn the channel to 52 (the news channel, news all day long, 24/7) and eventually it will get to the 'hour's top stories' and I'm sure it's a top story."

"Ok... I'll try that. Thanks Yugi. But one question." Ryou said.

"Sure. Shoot."

"What does this have to do with us?"

Ryou could almost picture Yugi falling out of his seat at the sheer stupidity of his question.

"Me and Yami—"He was cut off By Ryou.

"Yami and I. Honestly Yugi, grammar!" Ryou chided his diminutive friend.

"Sorry, sorry." Was Yugi's reply. "Yami and I thought about it, and Yami is 99.9999999999999---"

"You can stop now Yugi." Ryou said, sweat dropping.

"—999% sure that it could be one of the Seven Curses of Egypt."

Ryou's eye's widened. One of the Seven Curses of Egypt? Now? In Europe? "Which one?"

"Unh... You know Ryou... we don't even know what these curses are."

Silence
"So it has begun." A cold, raspy voice murmured in the darkness.

"Yes it has Sire." Said another voice, not to far away.

"What of Hyakuhei?" The cold voice asked.

"Lost in the soul room of the Grave Raider. Most likely murdered by a younger version of the Grave Raider, Aku." Another voice said, a female one.

"I see..." Said the cruel voice said, not a hint of compassion in his voice. "Meiun [1], I do belive it is your turn to inflict chaos into there lives."

"Really Sire? By what means?" The female asked.

"However you chose. But, I do not tolerate failure. See to it that the Thief of Graves and the King of Egypt are taken care of. Those rulers of the Realm of Shadows must fall. You do know the punishment for those who cannot complete their tasks."

"Yes Sire."

"Go now."

A whirling sound could be heard then silence took reign over the room once more.

"I shall see to it that they fall. Then the Realm of Shadows will swallow the Realm of Reality and I shall reign supreme!"

Maniacal laughter echoed all over the room.

3rd Person POV

"Oh man... that was... Ow my head. Ok that is the last time I'm eating avocados before I have a nice relaxing afternoon snooze." Bakura said, rubbing his head.

'I'm not one to listen to my dreams or such; I'm no Isis Ishtar. But that was REALLY weird. I'm not a seer. I am a thief, a stealer of souls, and not some fortuneteller! Well... ok, so I can read cards, big deal! But on the lists of 'freaky' and 'abnormal' things that have happened to me, this I going up there with the time that my cup of black coffee somehow floated in the air. Never new how that happened. I have suspicions but I'll keep those to myself, thank you very much!'

Bakura rolled over, trying to go back to sleep, but fell off of the small Twin sized bed with a graceful 'thud'.

'First I get that really strange dream. Second I wake up with a migraine of the size of Alaska... where is that anyway? Third of all I fell out of my bed onto the floor. Forth of all... I think I have splinters... (Bakura's room is in the attic, nuff said there) Yup, I have splinters. Great. Now, where's my shirt?' (A/n: giggle Baku-chan with no shirt... drool)

While Bakura was upstairs, looking for his shirt, Ryou was downstairs watching the news. He had been for... 46 minutes now. Poor little Hikari no Bakura.

After Bakura had found his shirt he went down stares to bug his Hikari, for lack of anything better to do. The species know as 'yamis' are easily bored and require a certain amount of attention or may the Lord have mercy on the neighborhood. Bakura turned to see Ryou half asleep on the couch watching the boring 'CTV Newsnet's Top stories' (A/n: They have Satellite, that's how they got a Canadian News broadcast).

Bakura plopped himself down next to the half asleep hikari and tugged his hair until Ryou woke up. Ryou then hit Bakura on the head with the newspaper.

"What are you doing?" Bakura asked when Ryou turned to watching the TV, head in hand.

"Apparently, the first curse has been unleashed. He said it would be on the news. I'm trying to figure out what it is."

"Oh, you mean the curse of the Tauk?" Bakura said, sounding like it was absolutely obvious, eyes staring at the TV.

Ryou turned in shock to stare bewilderedly at the silver-haired Thief. "How did you know that?" He asked.

Bakura turned to look at Ryou. "It came to me in a dream. Said something like: Past shall meet the Present, Present shall meet the past, Old becomes new, The New disappears, Past and Present merging... you know that kind of shit Isis always comes up with."

"--- London England where a shocking turn of events has happened. The famous clock tower 'Big Ben' has mysteriously vanished. Along with 'London Bridge'. All around Europe many famous landmarks have disappeared, such as the 'Temple of Athena' in Athens Greece and the 'Eiffel tower' in Paris France.

"To add to the shocking disappearances, the Roman Coliseum looks like it was just finished being made! Many spiritualists believe that it is the work of Magic and Dark spirits while science geeks believe that it is the doing of alien life forms---"

Ryou and Bakura looked at each other in shock and disbelief.

"I guess that's the effects of the curse."

"Yup."

Ryou gave a cry of anguish.

Bakura stared at his emotionally distraught Hikari. "What's the matter with you?"

"BIG BEN'S GONE!!!!!!" Ryou shirked.

Bakura massaged his temples. This was going to be the start of something terrible and undoubtedly annoying. And his migraine and Ryou weren't helping it.

-------------------

And thus ends part one of 'The Seven Curses of Egypt'.

No that dose not mean it's going to end.

That just means part two is coming.

Sorry that the chapter was so short. But my muses decided to leave me half way. I had to do that on a whim. Then by page 5 I just gave up and finished it.
