Angela: Chapter 3. And a monkey's shoe.

YB: Which made no sense.

YM: Does anything she says ever make sense?

Angela: Nope.

YM: I rest my case.

YB: ….

Seto: … X.x

Angela: … We may have killed Seto again…

Seto: I'm alive.

Angela: A miracle!

Computerfreak101: I'm very sorry! I just realized, I forgot to mention you in my last chapter's reviwer responses! That was an error on my part! Here, your plushie of YB in a moose suit is extra big to make up for my stupidity. I do that sometimes... And for some reason, the- I put for the actions... Didn't work... -Sigh.- Damn thing... Anyway, I thank you for your input. -Smiles.- (YM/Marik: YES! OUR CARDS! YB: Hey, thanks CF. I like this one...) Good thing it weren't flamethrowers... Just stay tuned for the contest coming up soon, ok?

Sister: moves.

Me: rolls into the kitchen on the wheelie chair. WHEEEE! APPLE!

(five minutes before I started this chapter, while watching Comedy Central.)-

Yumiko opened her eyes, and the sunlight made her squint. She was alone, in a small oasis. The others were notwith her.She sat up, and saw Bakura and a few of his men a few feet away. They looked like they were getting ready to run again, and she made her way over.

"Bakura, are you guys on the move already?" she asked, yawning softly. He looked up, tying a pack more securely onto the horse. Then he nodded.

"Yes. You and the other men are going on ahead, a few of us are staying behind to stall them," he said, pulling his white horse over towards Yumiko. She stared at him. "Get on, now. We don't have time to argue," he snapped, when she made no move to mount the horse. She shook her head.

"We can't just leave you guys alone. I mean, what if?" He shook his head, and hoisted her onto his horse.

"Just go. We'll be fine, we've done this before!" he answered, slapping the horse as the others took off as well. Yumiko looked back, as she rode off holding tightly to the reins, and he grew smaller. A man who looked about her age, rode up next to her. "Don't worry about the Boss. He's handled this kind of stuff before. He's even dueled with the Pharaoh once or twice with just a dagger," he told her, trying to make her feel better. Yumiko just shook her head in silence and turned to face forward again.

"Even so, I worry about him," she whispered, more to herself than the man. The man smiled at her.

"You haven't even known him more than a day, and already you care about the Boss? You move quick." She looked at him for a moment, then blushed slightly.

"You can't tell him! I mean, uhm.. I don't care like that! Really! i jusy, uhm, owe him for, you know..." she exclaimed, turning red. He chuckled.

"Of course not. I'll keep it between us," he answered, before leaning towards her. "I think he may like you too," he whispered. "After all, he won't let anyone of us have you, and he's never cared before if we took the woman, as long as we were fair and let them go after we were done," he added, a mischievous glint in his eyes. Yumiko blushed harder, and looked at her horse, avoiding his eyes.

"It's not like that!" she protested.

"Sure it's not. And I'm the Pharaoh," he teased. "No, he saved me, and I have to return the favor somehow!" she retorted, then turned the horse around in determination. "Which I can't do if he's dead!"

"HEY! Wait!" the man called, as she raced off, headed back to where they had been only moments before. She didn't stop.

Bakura saw the white horse coming back, and cursed under his breath. "Damn girl doesn't know what she's getting into!" He and the men who had stayed behind heard the horse gallop up, and the guards turned to see what was going on. Bakura took the chance to jump onto the horse as it passed, and he and the men took off. "Let's go!" he called, as the men followed after. Then he turned his attention to Yumiko.

"You fool! What in the name of Anubis did you think you were doing!" he yelled at her, as they rode on towards the rest of his men who'd gone on ahead. He resisted the urge to just smack her for being stupid.

"I couldn't just leave you there! You saved me once, I have to return the favor sometime, which I can't do if you're dead!" she yelled back.

"So you had to be a fool and come back! What is wrong with you!"

"I don't just leave people to die when they've helped me once or twice!"

"Next time, just trust me and don't be a fool! I know what I'm doing!" he snapped. She looked at him, and blinked.

"Trust you? For all that is ma'at, you're a thief and you want me to trust you!" she asked, half amazed. "trust me" were two words she'd have never expected a thief to say. Especially him.

"You're a thief too, street rat," he spat right back. She turned away from him,the shock becoming anger.The words had stung, she didn't like to be called a street rat.

"I'm no 'street rat'… maybe a thief, but no street rat," she said in quiet anger. She wasn't one to yell when mad.He looked down at her, slightly surprised of her sudden mood change. Yumiko sighed. She stared sadly at the mane of the galloping horse.

"I can't trust you… I've never trusted anyone before, and I won't start now. And never call me street rat… I don't take kindly to it," she told him softly. He watched her for a minute, the wheels in his head turning rapidly.

"Fine, I won't call you a street rat… But you're still a thief, so you can't condemn me for that," he answered her finally. She shrugged, and looked up again, a determined look on her face as she stared ahead. "You're the King of Thieves… I intend to take that title from you one day, and become the Queen of Thieves," she said firmly. He smirked. She amused him.

"If you manage that… You might get my respect kid," he chuckled lightly. She closed her eyes and sighed. "I'm tired. I'm taking a nap."

"Some tomb robber you'll make, girl." was the last thing she heard before she fell into a dreamless sleep. "Some tomb robber you'll make..."

The horse continued to gallop.

Angela: ….. -snore-…

Seto: -edging away with others.- Shhh… Don't wake her up…

Sister: -bangs door open.- SISTER!

Angela: O.o Huh? What, what'd I miss! What's goin' on!
