Hornviper2: Yay! I decided to post a little earlier than I originally wanted to. I didn't get as much homework as I usually get this week. Anyway I'm thinking about starting a Fullmetal Alchemist fic after I'm done with this series. (Yes, this is going to be a series. I had that part figured out before I started writing.) And I would like to know what you think it should be about for those of you who read Fullmetal Alchemist fics. I'm thinking about another romance fic. I love writing these!

Bakura: Oh, just shut up and get on with it will you!

Hornivper2: okay, okay just give me a sec will you! Marik will you please be the disclaimer?

Marik: (Sigh) Hornviper2 does not own Yu-Gi-Oh, Inuyasha, Beyblade or the Redwall series, though she wishes she dose.

Hornviper2: Thank you. Now, on with the story!

The ground began to shake and Akeno and Bakura dropped to their knees and clutched the ground. (A/N: there was an Earthquake here were I live a few years ago and that is sort of what me and a couple of my friends did. Luckily we were outside when it happened, so no one got hurt.) After a few minutes the ground stopped shaking, Bakura and Akeno stood up. They looked at each other for a minute and then they looked back at the tunnel they had just come out of.

They were just about to go back and see what had happened when they heard some one call out their names. "Hey, Bakura! Akeno!" Looking back they could see Keni, Meru and Marik running towards them. "What happened!" Was the first thing that Marik asked when he got close enough so that he wouldn't have to shout. "They were still throwing people in to the pit when we got there. Once they had thrown in the last person they realized that they didn't have enough people to complete some kind of ritual they were trying to perform, so they started to throw in the soldiers. We left after that."

When Akeno had finished telling the story she was ready to cry, as did Bakura Keni and Marik. Meru on the other hand looked furious! "AND WHY IN THE NAME OF THE SEVEN HELLS DIDN'T YOU TRY TO HELP THOSE PEOPLE!" Akeno flinched. Meru rarely ever yelled at anyone. Even when she did there was always a good reason to.

There was a long moment of silence. Then Bakura spoke. "There was nothing that we could do. There were at least a hundred guards there! We wouldn't a have stood a chance. They would have overpowered us and thrown us into the pool of liquid and we would have died!" Meru seemed to calm down a little. "But how do you know if you would have died if you were thrown into the pool? For all we know that could have just been colored water." Akeno sighed. "I highly dought that it was water. If it was then the people that had been thrown in would have come back up to the top. You know that everyone in the village knows how to swim." Akeno paused for a moment. Then she said something that she didn't mean to. "Besides the place smelled like dark magic and death. It wasn't water in the middle of the room it was liquid gold." Meru, Keni, Marik and Bakura just stared at Akeno like she was crazy.

It took Akeno a couple of minutes to realize what she just said. "Whoa, that was weird!" Bakura Keni was the only one who could stop staring long enough to say something. "Akeno…How did you know all of that?" Akeno looked around trying to find something to change the subject on. Then she noticed something "Hey, where is Ichi and Keiva?" Meru smiled "Oh, she's with Keiva back at Matthias' hut. Keiva had a bunch of wounds on her back and shoulders." Before anyone could say anymore they could here footsteps coming from the inside of that tunnel. They were coming towards them and it sounded like there were two of them.

Akeno and the others were too afraid to move. As the people drew closer Akeno could see that it was the man in the purple robes, and another man that Akeno and Bakura didn't see before. When the people that were coming out of the tunnel saw Akeno and the others they smirked and held up these strange armbands. Then the Man in the purple robes spoke. "Well, well, well, looks like we have some survivors! Oh, well. Lets try out or new powers!" The armband glowed and they summoned six monsters.

There was Mammoth Graveyard, Luster Dragon, Drooling Lizard,

Night Assailant, Twin-Headed Wolf, and Harpie's Brother. Then the men shouted. "Kill them!" The monster attacked fangs, and claws bared, weapons raised. Akeno was the first to snap out of it. "RUN!"
