1"Ankh Of Despair"

Look at all of the pretty reviews! I love reviews! I don't care if they only have two words in them! A review is a review, and good reviews make me feel great! I hope to surpass the number of reviews that I got for my story "Love is a Battlefield". Wish me luck and keep reviewing! Enjoy chapter ten!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh. I own the plot. Get it? Got it? Good.
NOTE: In a review, someone asked what koi meant. It means "lover" in Japanese.

Mokuba had disappeared into the house once more. The sound of his brother's voice could be heard. It was obvious that the two were in an argument about going to the arcade.
"Man," Joey stretched his arms, "Why does Kaiba gotta be so stubborn? It's only Bakura."
"Correction," Yami faced him, "It's yami Bakura, and that is nothing to be so easy about." He turned back towards the door, "We all know how he can be. You'd get worked up too if you had that kind of dream and then all of a sudden he wanted to talk to you. Well, I think you'd get worked up even if you didn't have the dream."
"Yeah. . ." Joey agreed, "But still, we'll all be right there. That crazy guy wouldn't do anything with so many people standing around, would he?"
"You guys," Yugi began, "Let's not start jumping to conclusions. We don't really know if Bakura's yami is planning to do anything at all. Maybe he really does just want to talk to Kaiba."
The door opened, claiming their attention, "Well," Mokuba began, "Seto is changing his clothes. He'll be out in a minute." He grinned triumphantly.
"You mean he's actually going?" Tristan stood there, completely amazed.
"Yup!" Mokuba chirped.
Joey scratched his head, "How in the world did you convince him to come?"
Mokuba chuckled, "It was easy!" he folded his arms and closed his eyes, "I just did the 'but big brother, you never do anything with me!' act and the puppy eyes." He did his best puppy eyes to give them a demonstration and then giggled, "Works every time!"
"You're a conniving little boy." Seto was now outside with them, trying to hide the grin that was forming on his lips while shaking his head at his younger brother. He had changed into a silk, long-sleeved, navy shirt and his all-too-familiar black, leather pants. Surprisingly enough, he didn't have any of his trademarked coats on, "Well, let's get going. The sooner we leave, the sooner we get this over with.
"Aw moneybags!" Joey taunted, "You know you want to spend all day with us!"
"I'd rather be gagged with a moldy sock."
"That can be arranged."
"I'd like to see you try."
"That a challenge?"
"Alright, alright!" Yugi broke in, "Stop the fighting! We don't need you two going at it all day! We want to have fun!" His chest rose and fell from being out of breath. It was clear that Yugi wasn't a yeller too often.
"Whatever. Let's just go." Kaiba began looking around, "Where's the car?"
"Oh," Tea began, "We're walking." She smiled in a friendly manner.
Kaiba sighed and held Mokuba's hand, "I suppose we had best get going then."

"I don't really see why you need to talk to him yami. It's not like he knows about it." Bakura twisted his index finger up in his hair.
"Oh come on, I'm not really going to talk to him!" He grinned wickedly, "I'm sure that we can both agree that we got pretty fired up from that dream."
Bakura blushed fiercely, "Goodness yami! You know that I don't swing that way! Besides, I'm not even half the pervert that you are!"
Yami Bakura rolled his eyes, "Oh please, I heard you take that cold shower this morning!"
Bakura's eyes darted around the room in fake innocence, "What on earth would make you think it was a cold shower?" He placed his hands on his hips, trying to be the decent one of the two.
"Perhaps the fact that you kept saying 'cold, cold, cold'. Or maybe when you started saying 'Tea pole dancing, Tea pole dancing'." He raised an eyebrow waiting for a response. "Come on, hikari. We both know full well that no one but Yugi gets off to Tea pole dancing."
"Okay fine! The dream was hot!" He pursed his lips while his yami smirked, "But I wouldn't even dream of having sex with Kaiba!"
The former tomb robber looked toward the ceiling, appearing deep in thought, "Well technically you already have. You see, you are kind of like the reincarnation of me, and in that dream, I had sex with Kaiba, which means that in an awkward since, you dreamed about having sex with Kaiba." He nodded, seemingly satisfied with his conclusion.
"Whatever. . ." Bakura began to tidy the living room up, "You're such a pig! If my father comes home and sees what a mess you make, he'll have a fit!"
"That's why I have you. You clean everything up so that I don't have to!"
"You're an ass."
"But you like that."
"Yeah. . ."
The doorbell rang and Bakura stopped his arranging, "Are you going to get that, or is that my job too?"
Yami Bakura looked thoughtful again, "Yes, it is your job, but I'm feeling rather generous today!" He hopped up off of the couch and steadily made his way towards the front door, opening it, "Hello?"
Outside, Yugi, Yami, Tristan, Tea, Joey, Mokuba, and Kaiba all greeted him. The thief eyed the tallest of the bunch, and then stood aside, "Come on in."
Bakura was still cleaning things up when the others entered. He stopped his work once again, "Oh! Hello all!" He noticed Kaiba among the bunch, "Well, it's always nice to see another face in the group!" He smiled brightly, returning to what he was doing.
Kaiba snorted at Bakura's comment. He wasn't part of this pathetic group. "What do you want?" He asked a certain albino that couldn't keep his eyes off of the brunette, "I got dragged all the way over here because of you and your so-called important talk that you supposedly need to have with me."
Without saying a word, yami Bakura waved a finger, motioning for the CEO to follow him.
The others stayed in the living room.
"This is a nice place you got here, Bakura!" Yugi looked around in awe at his surroundings, "You sure do a good job of taking care of it!"
"Yeah," Joey cut in, "If you ever go on a cleaning spree, come over to my place!" He and everyone else laughed.
"WHAT?!?! YOU HAD THE SAME DREAM?!?!" The sound of Kaiba's voice rang through every room.
Yami jumped up as Kaiba stormed back into the living room, "He had the same dream, Seto?"
Bakura's heart sped up, "You mean that you dreamt about it too, Kaiba? About being in ancient Egypt and my yami. . . well, um. . ."
"Woah," Mokuba blushed, "Looks like everyone has seen my brother in the nude now!"
Kaiba began to cough wildly, his eyes open wide at his little brother's comment, "Don't you ever say something like that again, Mokuba! Am I understood?!"
Mokuba nodded, his bottom lip trembling, and sat beside his older brother, hugging him tightly.
Yami held his forehead, "So let me get this straight, everyone in this room dreamt about the exact same thing?"
Yami Bakura entered the room and burst out laughing, "Wouldn't it be something if all of Domino had the exact same dream?" He laughed some more, "I can see it in the headlines now!" and in a mocking voice, he shrieked, "Citizens' dreams haunted by Seto Kaiba raped in a skirt!" He held onto his stomach as he erupted with another round of laughter.
Kaiba looked around the room and then growled at Yami, "This is all your fault."
"What?! How could this possibly be my fault?!"
"Somehow it is. I just know it."
"You know nothing! I have nothing to do with this!"
"You were in the dream."
"You were in the dream, too! So was Bakura!"
There was a long pause, and then, "It's still your fault."
Bakura stood beside his yami and whispered into his ear, "Do you know how this happened?"
Yami Bakura nodded and spoked through their mind link, /Fate's magic is at work here./
