Konnichi wa minna-san. Man I am surprised how mostly everyone thought it was Bakura that Ryou was soon to meet.Sure I mean since Bakura is the king of thieves it would only make sense.

Well guess you'll just have to read this fic to find out just how fucking unpredictable my fanfictions really are ne.

Remember I don't take kindly to being predictable so expect the unexpected when it comes to my fanfics kay. Anyways thank you for the reviews. Hope you enjoy this chapter. bai bai

Ryou P.O.V.

I continued to follow Stalker, Yugi was clutching my arm the whole time. I could feel his fear just radiating off of him though I could also feel the excitement. Sometimes I wonder if Yugi is in truth a teenager. He acts so much like a little kid that it always baffles me.

"Ryou," Yugi said, "Are you sure about this?" I sighed. 'Me sure, like hell I'm sure, I must have just written both of our death wishes right now but hey its not like I had a choice, it's either do or die, and seriously, I am not ready to die at the moment so I guess that's just how life goes.'

"I'm not really sure about any of this," I said to Yugi quietly, "but it's best to stick around here with a guide then just go off alone and starve to death." Yugi just nodded.

"But Ryou, we don't even know this guys name," Yugi whispered. I blinked. 'Well he is right about that, Stalker isn't exactly what I would call a name.'

I then looked over to Stalker. He was dressed in all black and I could see a couple of daggers hidden in his robe. I looked at Yugi. He seemed pretty freaked out, I don't think telling him that this guy could slit our throats at any given moment would be a wise idea.

Suddenly Stalker stopped walking. I stopped just a few feet behind him.

"Our hideout is only just a mile from here, I want you two to vow never to say a word about our location to anyone. Is that clear?" said Stalker in a stern voice.

"We vow," both Yugi and I said in unison. Stalker nodded.

"Now I haven't exactly gotten your names yet, so why don't we do an introduction before we go on okay." said Stalker in a calm tone. I just nodded.

"My name is Ryou," I said in a neutral voice.

"I'm Yugi, nice to meet you," Yugi said happily. Stalker smiled and nodded.

"My name is Akuun, I am our bosses right hand man as you could say, it will be a pleasure working with you," said Akuun. I blinked. 'Stalker sounds like a better name for him if you ask me,' I couldn't help but think.

"Well lets get going, I would rather like to get out of this heat if you do not mind," Akuun said. Yugi and I just nodded silently. We then began to walk in whatever direction we were going now.

'I wonder if maybe I will see Bakura here' I couldn't help but think. I looked around. Sand. Really hot sand. 'Thank Ra I still have my shoes on' I couldn't help but think. After a ton of walking we finally came to...a mound of sand.

'Wow what a hideout' I thought sarcastically. 'Guess I don't have to worry about where to go to the bathroom now huh,' I thought with equal sarcasm. Akuun then suddenly touched some sort of brick that was hidden under the sand.

Then out of nowhere a door seemed to form from the sand, and it was slowly opening. I blinked. 'Now that is what I call original when it comes to making hideouts.' I thought in awe. Akuun turned toward us.

"Ladies first," he mocked. 'Why that little' I thought before Yugi started shoving me inside. Suddenly when we got inside the secret hideout, Yugi and I began falling. And Ra we were falling pretty fast too.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH," Yugi and I yelled as we kept falling.

"AKUUN WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU I'M GOING TO KILL YOU," I screamed before closing my eyes, feeling as if I were going to be sick if I opened them. Then finally I hit the floor on my rump and I felt Yugi fall next to me.

I blinked. I wasn't dead yet. I opened my eyes and looked down, seeing something akin to a huge pillow. Suddenly I felt another thump next to me signaling that Akuun had decided to drop by. I looked over at him and glared. He was smirking like he saw something amusing.

I then looked around me and couldn't help but gulp. Before me there was a bunch of people staring at Yugi and I. Most of these guys looked pretty tough since most of them had some serious muscles. I blinked owlishly, trying to look as innocent as possible. 'Don't kill me' I couldn't help but think pathetically.

"Akuun, who might these two be," I heard a voice say. It took me a minute to realize that voice sounded feminine. I looked up and looked for the voice.

"Boss, these are your new recruits," Akuun said happily. Suddenly a women came into sight. She had bright green hair that went all the way to her waist, she also had silverish green eyes, just like Akuun; she also had a pretty well shaped body and she looked about 18 or 19; but was odd was that she looked like a female version of Akuun, except with green hair.

"So these are the new recruits you were looking for," said the women as she walked up to me. Then in a quick fluid moment she grabbed my chin and started turning my head left to right.

"Hm, well, well he looks almost identical to that tomb robber doesn't he." said the women.

"Yes, I had almost thought that he was the tomb robber, well that is until I saw how much more innocent looking he was and the fact that he does not have any scars on his cheek." said Akuun.

I blinked. 'By their descriptions they must be talking about...BAKURA. That's right, Bakura lives in this time era as well doesn't he' I thought.

"This is like a gift from Ra ne boys, having a boy who looks exactly like Bakura, he will be quite useful." said the women. I then saw her look at Yugi and then watched as she gasped. She then walked up to the shaking boy.

"This boy has a remarkable resemblance to the pharaoh; today must be our lucky day," she said. I narrowed my eyes at her.

"Excuse me but Yugi has nothing to do with this thieving business of yours, its strictly just going to be me, I am his guardian at the moment here," I said in a neutral tone.

Bakura had always taught me that if you were going to talk to a thief, you were to always sound strong and you had to make sure that you tell them exactly what you want and how you want it done. He said it was a way to gain their respect. Hope he's right about that.

The girl looked me right into the eye and I stared right back at her, my face blank of any emotions. For a moment we just stared at each other, as if we were trying to stare the other down. Then suddenly the girl blinked and then smirked.

"I like you kid, you've got some tough stuff, only a few people would dare to talk to me like that, and that's why I like you, I guess its more than just looks that you resemble Bakura, but it seems personality is also a trait you both share." said the women.

I blinked. No one had ever said Bakura and I were even closely alike besides that we looked alike. 'Guess Bakura's lessons really have payed off even if they were quite painful most of the time' I thought though I winced inwardly at the thought of some of Bakura's "lessons."

"Well then, I believe you are quite worthy of being a member of my team of bandits, but first, why don't we introduce ourselves," said the still unknown person. I just nodded.

"My name is Ryou," I heard myself say politely. The girl smiled.

"My name is Kyofu, and as you must know by now, I am the boss of these bandits, I am also known as," she said before looking right into my eyes for a moment while smirking, then she finished, "the queen of thieves."

For a moment I could not think. 'This girl...is the queen of thieves.' was all my mind could think at the moment.

Konnichi wa minna. didn't expect this now did ya.Well told ya to expect the unexpected when it comes to my fanfictions. Anyway now time for japanese names explanations.

Akuun in japanese means: bad luck

Kyofu: Fear

I figured these names were perfect for the new characters. Plus I was trying to make them sound as egyptian as I could. I mostly dedicated this chapter to my friend Kyofu-chan who has been very helpful to me with my fanfiction.

So anyways tell me what you think in this chapter. Remember to REVIEW. Or else you'll have a very unhappy authoress. Well bai bai
