Chapter 010 ~~

Bakura arrived in Egypt in the early afternoon. He squinted as the blazing sun smoldering down on him. He scanned the busy airport looking for something or someone. And he spotted 'her.' Yes, 'her.' Bakura muttered ancient curses under his breath as he approaches her.

"You seem upset, Spirit." The woman says the amusement in her voice evident.

Bakura just glares at her. "Its not like I want your help or anything, you know."

The woman nods in agreement. "Actually, I need your help as well." her sea blue eyes bore into the thief's brown ones.

Bakura raises an eyebrow. "Oh? And what does the almighty seer need help with?"

Isis sighs to herself. She really didn't want him of all people to do this, but whom better to ask than a former tomb robber? "I need you to get me certain artifacts from the pharaoh's tomb. It is in danger to present tomb robbers and I do not with for these artifacts to get out in the open. They hold great power and in the hands of evil, it will cause great chaos." Isis was silent as she watches the surprise look on the thief's face slowly disappear under his mask.

Bakura thought about what she has said. "What is in it for me?"

"I knew you would ask that." Isis took a deep breath. She knew he wouldn't do it if the price wasn't high. "You may keep one artifact from the pharaoh's tomb."

"Hmmm…" Bakura thought about this all his life or at least since he was released from the Sennen Ring. He imagined it over and over again. Robbing the pharaoh's tomb was why he decided to come here. It would keep his mind off a certain someone as well as let him do what he wanted to. What fun he will have. He grins at the woman. "Deal. As long as you supply what I need for it."

Isis nods in relief. "Follow me." She turns around and walks out of the airport.

The thief sighs. He has come here for this reason. He wanted to rob Yami's tomb and go back at a later time and rub it in his face. It was what kept him from breaking down and going back home. But after this, what will he do? Bakura has no idea.

"Spirit?"

Bakura blinks and looks up at Isis.

"Are you going to stand there all day or am I going to have to drag you away from here?"

Bakura shakes his head to clear his thoughts. 'One things at a time.' He tells himself. "Hai, hai, Isis-sama."

It was her turn to raise an eye brow and the thief just smirks at her. Isis rolls her eyes and continues walking out the door. Bakura soon follows behind her and he gets the feeling he is being watched. The thief glances around casually, noting what he was looking for and smirks. 'Probably the worst person I have ever seen.'

Once outside, he takes in a breath of fresh Egyptian air. "It's been a long time." He murmurs to himself. He took in the surrounding buildings. Sure it's been about three thousand years and a lot has changed, but one thing will always remain the same. He smiles at the thought.

Bakura remembers seeing the great pyramids when he was flying in. They looked just as magnificent as they were long ago. A little aged, perhaps, but still beautiful. The thief hears someone cough to his right and he sighs.

Isis is waiting for him to come back to reality.

"I assume you know its location, seer." The thief asks her.

"Yes." Isis simply answers.

"Good."

They walk down the crowded street for a while. Modern day buildings have replaced the ancient ones that once stood in their place.

"A lot has changed…" Bakura barely chokes out.

Isis bows her head. "Yes, it has, but this is still our home."

The thief glances away from the Egyptian seer. "Perhaps."

"You miss him." it was more of a statement then a question.

Bakura growls. "It's none of your business!"

"Sorry." Isis remains quiet until they reach the store they were walking to. "Gather what you need."

Bakura went in first and looks around. 'Wonder what kinds of traps the priests put in his tomb.' The thief muses himself with such questions as he browses the store.

Isis stood by the counter waiting for him.

"Hey, you remember the past, right?"

Isis blinks. "Yes."

"Then tell me what traps await me." He grins over at the seer.

"Very well." she begins to explain how to enter the tomb and which routes to take and what doors lead to the final chamber, where the pharaoh's casket lay.

"So the priests didn't use the magic of the Sennen items?"

"No, our pharaoh did not wish it."

"Hmm…" Bakura truly thinks Yami is an idiot now. 'Stupid Pharaoh.' The thief gathers what he thought he would need and drops it on the counter.

Isis nods and gives the man behind the desk a card. "This will cover it." she says in Egyptian. Before, she and Bakura were speaking in Japanese.

The man quickly rings up their purchases and tells them to have a nice day and to come back soon. Bakura ignores him, while Isis says thank you.

Outside once again, he gets the feeling of being watched. Sure enough, it was the same person from the airport. Bakura smirks as Isis starts off and he follows her with the backpack filled with his supplies on his shoulder. 'This may be more fun then I realized.' He thinks to himself.

The stalker continues to follow them, but does not interfere, which annoys the thief very much. "Seer…"

"I know, thief. Ignore it. They are probably from one of the local thieves guilds."

"Oh?" Bakura was interested now and wanted to meet this stalker of theirs, but he didn't want Isis to know what he was up too. Not yet anyways.

Isis led the thief to the edge of town where a man waited with a horse.

"Take the horse, Spirit. The site is not far from this city really. You will be there by night fall if not sooner." Isis glances at Bakura. "Go north and looks for twin peeks pointing at the sky. From there head west until you come across a small oasis. You may rest there if you wish. Continue west for about a mile. You will then notice the most obvious."

"Cryptic as always, seer." Bakura says dryly.

Isis in turn rolls her eyes. "I didn't want it to be too easy for you."

Bakura snorts. "Thanks." He mounts the roan horse and kicks it into motion. The thief didn't say any words of departing either. He didn't need to nor did he want to. It was bad enough he was actually helping the tomb keeper's sister. 'Ah, well, at least I'm doing what I wanted to in the first place.' he thinks happily to himself. He has only been in Egypt for no more then a couple of hours and he was already planning on stealing. Bakura smirks. 'What would my hikari think?' the thief frowns slightly. 'I really need to stop thinking of him.'

It was nearing noon and the sun was burning through his clothes. Thankfully, he brought along a cape and a turban to keep the scorching sun off his pale skin. The thief had forgotten how hot the desert was. Digging around in his backpack, he shouts a small 'aha!' he pulled out some sunglasses and putt hem on, smiling. 'If only I had these back then.'

An hour or so later he came upon the twin peeks. They were single desert rocks pointing straight up at the sky, as if either praying to their gods or warning people to stay away. Shrugging, he journeyed onward, not caring about their gods. Has he ever? Nope. 'Not about to now either.'

Trotting past the towering rocks and continued west. 'Now on to the small oasis.' Bakura kicked the horse swiftly and it started to gallop.

Sure enough, the thief encountered the oasis. His horse went straight towards it on its own accord. Chuckling at the horses' actions, he slides down off the horse as soon as it reaches the water. Bakura kneels down before the pond and splashes some of the cool water on his face. He stares down at his reflection and sighs. 'Was this really the right thing to do?' Dunking his whole head in this time, he feels cooled off now and shakes the excess water dripping off his hair. 'Now is not the time to be doubting myself!' the thief steps away from the water and sits next to a small tree nearby. He needed to give the horse a rest before he started out again, so he closed his eyes and drifted of into a light sleep.

His stalker finally reached the small oasis, and carefully as well as silently helps them self to the sparkling water in the god-sent pond. The person has been following that woman around until she let this guy ride out into the desert alone. So the stalker decided to follow the man, since he was probably headed to the tomb they were searching for. 'How did he know the way?' the stalker shielded itself behind the bushes as the thief wakes up.

Bakura awakens when he hears someone at the waterside. He didn't open his eyes until he was certain they thought they were safely hidden amongst the bushes. The thief stretched out his arms and stood up. Bakura figures he has rested enough. Gather up the horses' reins, he mounts it and slowly walks back out onto the hot sand.

Judging by where the sun was, he had wasted an hour or so at the oasis. Shrugging it off, he continued west for the last mile. Bakura wasn't too worried by the shadow that has been following him. Actually, he couldn't care less about them. If the person following him ever got in his way, he would deal with it then. When he was bored with their game. When he was tired of being followed, he will confront who ever it was. Then the real game will begin. Bakura laughs evilly at his plan. His stalker sweatdrops at the sound.

The thief rides over a sand dune and halts his horse. He stares in amazement at the sight in front of him. 'No wonder Isis said it would be obvious.' He nudges the horse onward. Standing in front of him, half hidden with sand, was a statue of the god Horus. Only thing different was the upside down pyramid around its neck. "Really. Could they have made it any more noticeable?" Bakura says out loud.
