OK, this chapter, sadly will be kind of short…I need to take a shower and get ready; I'm going out of town. Las Vegas to be exact…too bad I can't gamble!

Chapter 7

The unknown:

"Bakura!" Malik shouted into the cave. Bakura gave a low growl as he rolled to his side. "What is it you want, Malik? Shouldn't you be with the Pharaoh, trying to weasel yourself into his good grace?"

Malik towered over the thief. "Word has it there's a thief stealing your title. Stories and rumors have been spreading like wildfire! They call him the unknown thief…no one has ever seen his face…He hit's all your targets before you do! What the hell have you been doing? Sleeping all day?" Malik bellowed

Bakura sat up and began to rub at his eyes. "I know, and I could care less. They won't last that long. It's only a matter of time till I run into them."

He gave a yawn then fell backwards on his pallet.

"Damn you! We had a deal! I help you sneak into the great tomb of the Pharaohs father, and you give me half the share! If you let this 'unknown thief' get to it first…I'll…I'll…" Malik sputtered

"Relax; you'll get your gold! This "Unknown thief" won't last that long. It's probably some little kids running around having fun." And with that Bakura rolled to his side and closed his eyes.

"Look at you Bakura! You've gotten lazy! What the hell is wrong with you? You're letting your title slip from your hands! And you've put on weight!"

Bakura gave a snort and continued to ignore his companion.

"It's that girl again isn't it?" Malik shook his head. "You need to get laid!"

She slipped passed the guards unnoticed, like a cat would sneak on a mouse. She tiptoed through the dark halls of the tomb, twisting in each way to avoid the noticeable traps.

A smile played on her lips as the doors to the chamber came in full view.

It had been a year since her first tomb robbing, and she had learned much more since then. Her scars proved it.

Her hands pushed at the door in front of her, forcing the heavy stone door to slide open. She slowly made her way into the tomb and dropped her sack. Her eyes glittered as she examined the gold and trinkets before her.

"Well, that wasn't hard." She whispered as she fell to her knees. She cupped the coins in her hand and brought them to her face. They sparkled in the fire light, casting a glow on her face.

"Looks like we hit the jackpot." Kuni said behind her. Avila didn't even flinch at the unexpected presence.

"Yes, I know…to bad it won't last long…it never does." Avila sighed and shoved the plunder into her sack, then flung it over her shoulder.

Kuni did the same then rose to her feet.

"Well, at least we can still have fun…and you got your wish, you've nearly dethroned the famous thief king. Now everyone talks about the famous unknown thief, who creeps in the night unnoticed, without ever laying a finger on the guards."

Avila gave a smug smile. "I'm that good?" She asked mockingly

Kuni grinned at her friend and shrugged her shoulders. "No one notices me…I'm cast in your shadow!" She smiled and turned towards the opened door.

"Soon, everyone will call you the thief King…or…Queen…all you have to do now is let the guards see you…let them know your female, and if you want, your name."

Avila smiled at the thought of Bakura hearing her name on the lips of the guard's men, telling tales of her grand escape and sneaky robbing.

"Not my name…not yet." She said while following her friend down the deserted halls.

'He can't know that it's me, not this early. I want to leave him puzzled.'

Avila exited the tomb and peered around; looking for the guards men she had snuck by not to long ago. She spotted one and gave a small evil smile.

"Now, I shall let them know that I'm no man!" She took off into a sprint, leaving behind a jubilant Kuni.

Avila snuck up behind the unexpected guards men and faced him.

"Hello there…where you expecting me? To bad I've already robbed the tomb; you should really work on your guarding skills. There a bit out of date!"

And with that she made sure her cloaks hood fell backward to reveal her long dark hair and small oval face.

"Just remember this job was done by no man!" and with that she brought the hilt of her sword down on his head, knocking him out.

Kuni wore a satisfied smile as Avila returned to her side.

"Nice touch…I liked it…" Avila smiled and pulled the hood back over her head. "Let's go, before anyone else spots us."

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

"My Pharaoh, I have seen the Unknown thief! It is a woman." The guard's men declared. Murmurs filled the air, along with laughs from the men.

"A woman you say?" Atemu asked while stroking his chin.

"Did you happen to get a name from this, Thief?"

The guard's men sadly shook his head no.

"No, all she said was, "Remember, this job was done by no man.""

Malik stood by the Pharaohs side, taking in all the news. He gritted his teeth in annoyance as he thought of the OLD thief king who sat in his cave all day sleeping or working out. And every time Malik tried to speak to him about the matter he just shrugged it off and claimed it wouldn't last long. But to Malik, it had lasted long enough!

Bakura stood in front of his cave, shirtless, training with his sword. Sweat shone on his back as he lifted it above his head, then back down again. He gave a satisfied grunt as he felt the pain burst in his arm. He switched arms, and then continued his exercise.

"Bakura! It has gone on long enough. You must put an end to this. A WOMAN has stolen your title!" Malik roared with anger as he came into view. Bakura glanced at his associate and laughed.

"A woman? Well, who would have thunk it?" He dropped the sword then fell to his hands. He placed his left hand behind his back then began to pump himself up and down.

"You find this funny? The jokes on you Bakura!" Malik screamed in frustration. "You need to stop this now!"

Bakura ignored his friends demand and continued his task. His snowy white hair fell into his face, shielding his eyes, tickling his cheeks.

"Malik, I plan on ending this, soon…but I want this…"girl"…to have some fun while she still can." He laughed.

Malik glared down at Bakura then spun on his heel. "You better insure nothing goes wrong with our plan…"

Bakura waited till Malik was out of view, and then fell to his chest on the floor.

"Oh, Aye, I do plan on ending this…right now."
