Simple songwriter: You never told me you had a sister! You hid her from me! You don't want to share her! Sorry I'm not feeling well. Must be the heat.

Last time:

'Anzu? So that's your name? Well Anzu I'll see you some time and when I do I'll repay you for saving me.'

Anzu and Bakura both stood their eyes wide and in danger of falling on their faces.

"Princess Anzu!" Came a shout snapping Anzu back to reality.

"Hurry hide" she whispered to Bakura pushing him in to her room.

"Princess, what are you doing here? Do you not know that there is a thief running around?" Asked Honda one of the palace guards and Anzu's childhood friends.

"Calm down Honda, I am aware there's a thief running around and I am about to go into my room like Yami said." she said jestering to the door with her hand.

"Oh, I am sorry Anzu but you know how worried I get about you." said Honda bowing

"Don't worry Honda, now go back to looking for the thief before Yami see's you." said Anzu opening the door to her room

"Ofcourse princess. Oh and be carefull." said Honda before running of the opposite way he came.

Anzu slowly walked into her room knowing who was in there she looked around slowly but he was nowhere in sight.

"Looking for someone?" came a voice causing Anzu to jump and Bakura to chuckle.

"Don't do that Bakura!" Anzu had fiqured out his name while talking to Honda he had said there was a thief running around and the whole of Egypt knew of only one thief with white hair. The king of thiefs, Bakura.

" I see you figured out my name Anzu." He grinned he jumped down Anzu could see him clearly now he had tan skin with crimson eyes a scar down his cheek and was extremely buff.

'Wow, I've seen Malik's and Seto's muscle's there's were just about the same, but his are really big.' she thought a small blush barely noticeable spreading across her cheeks. Bakura was having similar thoughts. "Just how'd you know my name?" asked Anzu.

"Well you remember the first time we met after I killed your father?- Anzu nodded- Well a young boy came running to you crying his eyes out screaming your name." He answered.

'Yami' thought Anzu. Anzu remembered the necklace he had given to her she quickly took it off "This belongs to you, right?"

Bakura nodded "I'm surprised you still have it." He said fingering the necklace he remembered making it with his sister, he had given it to her because he had nothing else then. But for some reason he never regreted it even when it was al he had left of his family.

"Bakura?" asked Anzu.

"Hmmm."

"Do I owe you for killing my father?" she asked.

Bakura laughed "No. It's the opposite I owe you."

"What?" asked Anzu confused.

"It's a long story let's just leave it at that. I owe you. So is there anything I can do to repay you?" Asked Bakura.

Anzu thought for a secound "Well there is one thing" said Anzu shyly.

"What is it?" asked Bakura curiously. 'What would a princess want?'

"Well, I want to see the market place" said Anzu.

Bakura just smirked "Is that it?" he asked.

"Yeah, but I don't want anyone to regonise me." Anzu said going a little red from embarresment.

"Alright, fine." said Bakura Anzu flashed him an award winning smile.

"Really? You'll take me?" she asked.

"Yes, but were gonna need a cloak " said Bakura. 'She really looks cute like that, wait cute? Bakura you can't think that way she's a princess your a thief that's all you'll ever be, and no princess ends up with a thief.' he thought. Anzu on the other hand was so happy she was practicly flying.

"Okay Anzu, I need to get out of here other wise I'll get caught and we won't beable to go to the market." said Bakura.

"Alright Baku you can use my balcony. Again." He blushed slightly at being called 'Baku'. Before he could argue on his new nickname they heard footsteps.

"Alright Anzu be here at dawn tomorrow and we'll go to the market for an hour we'll do that for a week and then I'm free from this little deal oh and bring a cloak." said Bakura before jumping of the balcony and on to a tree to see who was at Anzu's door.

The door opened to reveal a grown up version of the boy he had seen the that day when he first met Anzu.

"Anzu It's alright my guards have scanned the palace apparantly the thief's gone. Thank goodness you're alright Anzu." He walked up to her and hugged her.

Making Bakura's blood boil and it boiled even more when he saw Anzu return the hug.

"It's alright Yami I'm fine." she kissed him a little peck opn the cheek but it made Bakura growl lightly.

'Wait. Why the hell am I acting like I'm jealouse?'

Becouse you are

'Who are you?'

Your conscious

'Oh. Wait! I have a conscious?'

Yes and I'm here to tell you you like Anzu you've liked her ever since she helped you beat the pharaoh.

'No I haven't and even if I do like her there's now way she'll like me she's a princess I'm a thief.'

Yes but you know you should try It's not like you to give up a fight.

'Oh shuttup I never want to her your slimy little voice again'

Hey It's your voice I'm using, but fine.

And with that the voice left as fast as it came, and Bakura continued to listen to Anzu and Yami's little conversation.

"Anzu you have seven days to choose who to marry If you can't choose by then then I shall throw a ball, and every rich person and noble blood in Egypt shall be Invited, the ball will be to your liking whatever type of ball you wish it to be, but by the end of the ball you must choose a husband If you do not then you will Marry Malik understood?"

"Yes Yami." sighed Anzu.

"Good I shall see at dinner" and with that he left and Anzu fell on her bed thinking about tomorrow and the Market place and most of all Bakura.

XXXX

Bakura on the other hand couldn't think straight.

'So what do I care if she's getting married?'

Well you have feelings for her, and your jealouse again.

'I do not have feelings for her she's incredibly naive she didn't even give a secound thought to being alone with a thief in the middle of market place where people mainly lots of women have been raped. Wait didn't I tell you to go away?'

I can't go away! I'm you... well the smarter part of you anyway.

O.K listen I have thieving to do and having you bug me isn't gonna get me anymore richer.

What the hell do you need more money for? Your one of the richest people in all of Egypt that means there's a high chance you'll be invited to the ball!

Forget the Rada- Wait your right!'

Which means Anzu might pick you! But your gonna have to tell her about your self.

'Shutup! I still have to be invited! And anyway I'm going to sleep so shutup!'

It's the middle of the day!

'So?'

Nevermind

And just like before the little voice shutup and went Ra knows where. Bakura closed his eyes thinking about Anzu.

XXXXXX

Cat: (Sigh) Finally. Now I have to find the other floppy's and there all in the attick. Which is filled with mice! Wish me luck on my quest to the great darkness.

Bakura: Wow, she's really getting dramatic. REVIEW!
