"Bakura…thank you. What are you doing here?"
"It doesn't matter what I'm doing here, all that matters is that you give me that thing around your neck," said Bakura in a dark voice.
"Your…your not Bakura...but it can't be, you no longer have the millennium ring," said Tea as she backed away protecting the child.
"That's what you think," laughed Bakura as he showed the millennium ring around his neck.
"That's impossible," said Tea backing away.
"Let me explain to you, I the spirit of the millennium ring slowly lured Bakura to Yugi's house, and as he came closer to the millennium ring I slowly started to take control of his mind, until he came to Yugi's house. Yugi's grandfather opened the door allowing him to come in. Then as Bakura made his away around I controlled him to go to Yugi's room and the moment he saw the millennium ring I was in control once again. However the moment I regained control a light attacked the house. I ended up escaping Yugi's house seconds before the entire house was destroyed. I would have grabbed the millennium necklace if I had the time, however I guess the millennium puzzle will make up compensation for the loss of the millennium necklace."
"Bakura you don't understand what's going on."
"Oh but I do, I'm about to get me the millennium puzzle that I so longed for."
"Bakura why do you think I have Yugi's millennium puzzle? It's because Yugi is in the shadow realm, there is a man named Shrin that has beaten Yugi and I'm more than positive he can defeat you. He is looking for us as well as the millennium puzzle."
"Why should I care? The moment all the millennium items are mine then I will take over this world anyway."
"Bakura, you will sooner or later face Shrin because he has the millennium rod as well as all three Egyptian God cards, you won't have a chance against him…unless you join us…Bakura, no, spirit of the millennium ring I beg of you to help us."
"Even though I hate the idea of joining your little friendship gang, it looks like I have no choice as long as he controls all 3 Egyptian God cards, so I will join you, but remember this is temporarily, as soon as we find a way to defeat Shrin, you will give me the millennium puzzle, agreed?"
"It's not mine to give, so once we defeat Shrin you must face Yugi for it."
"Hmm, agreed, now take me to where you and your friends are hiding."
"Just remember, I don't fully trust you, so once you come in you won't be coming out unless we have someone watching you."
"It's fine, by me."
They went back to the security room under the destroyed mall. The little boy looked scared and held Tea's hand when they got back to the room there were Pegasus and his men already taking down walls and starting to rebuild the place. She was glad to see that Pegasus and his men found where they were.
"Hey Tea is back," said Mai
"Alright, we were worried about you Tea," said Serenity
"Hey, you found Bakura," said Tristan.
"Fool, more like I found her."
"What do you mean?" said Tristan.
"Well he saved me from being crushed," said Tea
"Hey, that's the millennium ring around his neck," said Duke
"Yeah, this is the spirit of the millennium ring, I don't know where Bakura is," said Tea
"Then why did you bring him here Tea? You know what happened last time," said Tristan
"Yeah I know, but he will help us, and he will be on supervision by everyone here, make sure he doesn't go to the surface," said Tea as she stared at Bakura.
"And who is this little guy?" asked Joey looking down at the boy.
The boy wasn't hurt that badly, all he had was a couple of scratches and nothing more. He had the same type of hair style as Yugi, only his hair color was a bright red squeezed Tea's hand and hid behind her. Joey looked at the little guy and saw that he was scared; Joey then grinned and started to tickle the little boy. The little boy started to laugh as Joey tickled him.
"Well what's your name little guy?" asked Joey with a smile.
"My name is Yuri."
"Well Yuri, I promise uncle Joey here will take care of you ok," said Joey as he smiled.
"Ok, Uncle Joey."
"The one who saved you is Tea, but you can call her aunt Tea and you can call me uncle Tristan."
"Just call me Mai, ok sweetie, I'm not old enough to be your aunt," said Mai as she gave Yuri a wink.
"I'm Joey's sister, Serenity."
"You can call me Duke little guy,"
"Nice to meet you guys…but I have one question, is he grandpa?" asked Yuri as he pointed at Pegasus.
"Don't call me grandpa you little ingrate. You can call me Pegasus and nothing more, is that clear Yuri boy?"
"Ok gramps," laughed Yuri.
"Kids these days, they don't listen to their elders," said Pegasus as he walked away.
After some hours of building from Pegasus's men, they finally built about a half mile radius and stopped for the night. Yuri slept next to Tea because he felt safe around her, she was the woman who saved his life, she was his protector, and he slept soundly however a shadow lurked watching them. Bakura waited for his chance to take the millennium puzzle, he would take on Shrin on his own, he would attain infinite power, as well as all 3 Egyptian God cards and he will become the new ruler of the planet, just like he tried to do 5000 years ago.
Bakura slowly moved towards Tea, he crept along the shadows until he was above her; he slowly put his hand on the chain around her neck. He grinned and chuckled seeing that he was going to get what he wanted for so long. He slowly started to move the chain from her neck.
"Don't even think about it Bakura," said Tea as she grabbed Bakura's hand and started to twist it.
"You little brat; let go."
"Tristan, Joey, get here now," cried Tea
Suddenly Bakura's arms were grabbed and twisted by Joey and Tristan, both of them with angry faces. Bakura was then thrown to the ground and held by Joey and Tristan; Tea stood up in front of Bakura and looked at him straight in the face. She knew that Bakura would try something, that's why she pretended to be asleep and she have Joey and Tristan wait for her to give them order.
"I knew you would try something Bakura. We both know you by now," said Tea.
"Yeah, you're a snake in the grass and a pain in my…"
"Don't waste your breath on this scum, Tristan," said Joey
"I know what you want Bakura, you want this don't you?" said Tea as she showed him the Millennium Puzzle.
"I swear when I get free, I will take the millennium puzzle and…"
"Take the millennium puzzle? Ok Bakura you can take the millennium puzzle,"
Tea then took apart the puzzle piece by piece, she started to cry as she did it, it was like taking a piece out was like taking a piece of her heart away, after completely dismantling the puzzle she put every piece and showed them in Bakura's face.
"Here Bakura, take it, if you can solve it."
"You fool; do you have any idea of what you done?"
"Yeah, I insured that the millennium puzzle won't be used by anyone, unless they are able to solve it, and there is only one person who can solve it, and he is in the shadow realm right now, go-ahead boys let him go."
"Well it looks like your going to be staying a while Bakura, and we will keep an eye on you," said Tristan
"Not only that we have insured his cooperation, with the millennium puzzle as it is now, more than likely Bakura, your going nowhere," said Joey.
"Now go to bed and get some sleep Bakura, you will need it, because your going to help the construction of this place tomorrow along with everyone else here, except the injured," said Tea.
"You will regret this day," said Bakura as he stood up and walked away.
