I know I know. Asuming you haven't given up on reading this story: I'm sorry for such a long wait. My internet's still down, my friend's computer is screwed up and the floppy disk drive is not working, and honestly, I lsot interest for a while. Anyway enough excuses here you go! (asuming you're still there...)

Chapter 5

Seto's head shot around to face the door. He saw the Zombies and said, "Come on! Let's move!"

He ushered Mokuba and Kisara toward and out the back door. Then he stopped.

"Wait here!" he screamed to Mokuba. "I'll be right back."

He ran inside and into his room. There he grabbed the Millennium Rod. He stared at it for a second until a screech came from very close. He ran the way he came meeting up with Mokuba and Kisara right where he left them. "Let's go!"

From there, they ran into the plants that resemble corn. (oh yeah, I'm not smart...at all.) They soon came to the Nile and ran along side it for miles.

Malik could see the Zombies in his mind eye. So he saw Seto, Mokuba, and Kisara getting away into the bush. But what had interest him was the fact that there were the two things he wanted in the small group. He smiled.

"Maybe this will be simpler then I thought," he said to himself. "Get them!"

He saw the Zombies obey. He stopped watching them. Not so much that he was confident that they would succeed but more along the lines that he didn't want to watch them fail.

"My lord," Tea said to Ryo.

"What is it Tea?" he asked without turning. He was gazing out the window.

"My lord, with all due respect, I think we should move the eggs. We could have double the protection triple even!"

Ryo turned around. He wasn't mad. He'd been pondering that himself. The eggs more then likely would be better off but they simply could not risk it.

He told all this to Tea and added, "Why do you think we should move them?"

Tea looked out the window along with him. "With all due respect my lord, I don't trust Bakura. He's up to something."

Ryo nodded. "Yes, lately he seems to be up to something. Even I had begun to not trust his words. And then when he accused you of taking the egg..." he trailed off. "But we can't risk it. It would be safer to keep the eggs in one place then move them around and give the attacker another chance to take the eggs."

Tea sighed. "Alright my lord. I will trust you."

"My lord," a voice from behind them came. "Pharaoh Atemu is here."

They both turned. They found Bakura standing there head bowed.

Ryo nodded. "Alright Bakura, send him in."

Bakura nodded and left.

"How long do you think he was there?" Tea asked slightly nervous.

"I don't think he heard anything..." Ryo trailed off again not so sure.

Before they could discus it further, Atemu and his advisor, Yugi walked in.

Bakura went downstairs after he showed the Pharaoh where to go. He was angry. Not only had Tea survived but now she was accusing him of stealing the egg. Perhaps what made him madder was that she was right. He had planned to steal the egg but she was wrong about him having it.

"Malik!" Bakura yelled in his direction. "Any luck with the Millennium Rod?"

"Yes," Malik said. "And you will be pleased to hear that not only had my Zombies found the Rod, they also found the dragon." he smiled waiting for gratitude.

He'd have to wait a little longer. Bakura stopped short and his face suddenly changed to what seemed to be a mixture of confusion and anger. "Did you say dragon?"

Malik stopped smiling sensing something was wrong. "Yes, you did say the egg would hatch into a dragon didn't you?"

Bakura nodded. "But then...that would mean..."

"What?"

"That would mean that there is a Rider to worry about..."

"What!" Malik shouted suddenly realizing what this meant. "You...You mean...?"

Bakura nodded. "Yes, the Red Eyes Black Dragon girl and Saji didn't die after all."

i'll try and get the next one up faster...
