Ryou P.O.V.

It's unbelievable really, to think this girl who stood before me was actually the queen of thieves. I blinked. She must be really good. Must be almost as good as Bakura. I mentally shook these thoughts out of my head.

"Are you really the queen of thieves," I asked, trying to make sure I had heard right.

"Yup, I am the queen, now bow down to me loyal servant," Kyofu said happily. I blinked. She seemed like a really err bubbly person to actually be a thief, then again the only thief I ever knew was Bakura so maybe that's why I find this hard to believe.

I smiled anyways. "Well your highness, it's a pleasure to meet you," I said sarcastically while I bowed mockingly at her. She giggled.

"Well now that we have been introduced, lets get down to business," Kyofu said in a serious voice, all previous happy go lucky attitude vanishing with the harsh winds of the desert.

I gulped. 'Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling about this.' I thought mournfully to myself. I once again shook away these thoughts before nodding my head in acceptance of what she had said.

"Akuun, could you please take um that other one guy with you and show him where he will be staying while I start training with Ryou," Kyofu said. I looked at Yugi, and our eyes met. He looked scared out of his mind.

"Of course, by the way this young one is named Yugi," Akuun said before taking Yugi's hand and dragging him off to the unknown. Yugi gave me a pathetic pleading look and all I could do was shrug my shoulders. 'Poor thing.'

I shook my head. 'Why the hell am I feeling sorry for Yugi, he gets to go somewhere safe with a nice warm bed while I am stuck with this weirdo lunatic. If anyone needs pity its me.'

"So Ryou, why don't we start our training now hmm, I would like to see what you can do," Kyofu said with an evil glint in her eyes. I flinched. 'Is it just me or do I feel as if I should start writing my will soon, cause this women looks deadly.'

I gulped again. 'Its official. 'Women are the most scariest thing on earth. I mean, from all the women I met so far, they are as scary as fuck, but then again mostly the only girls I have met are my fan club and :shivers: Tea so of course they are scary'

I shook my head once more from my thoughts as Kyofu grabbed my wrist and started dragging me off somewhere. 'Why couldn't I just get a job of waiting tables or being a bartender or something' I whined pitifully in my mind.

For the next three hours, I was put under rigorous training, it seemed Kyofu didn't want me to stop training until I met up to her expectations. I panted loudly, 'who would have thought being a thief could be such hard work.'

'How on earth does Bakura make it look so easy' I thought enviously. Kyofu had still yet to relent enough to give me the night off.

"Damn cursed females," I grumbled to myself as I kept on running. Kyofu had sent me to do about 30 laps on a training track that had somehow been able to fit under the ground.

My eyes suddenly widened. 'I just sounded like Bakura there for a moment. God this sucks. It must be the training getting to me. No wonder Bakura was always such an ass. Anyone would be after having to deal with this training crap.'

'If I kept this training up I bet I would be an exact replica of Bakura soon. I shivered. I would rather not want to put Yugi under the same temper Bakura had with me, so I better try and keep my calm.'

I was now on my 20th lap and my legs and feet felt like twigs since it seemed as if I could barely hold myself up. I sighed. 'How many more numbers was it to 30 again. Oh yeah 10. Right. Wait, does Kyofu even know how to count. Not many normal people of this time now how to read and write or even count.'

I looked at Kyofu. She was watching me with serious silver green eyes as if making calculating how much longer it would take till I dropped. I flushed from embarrassment and anger.

'How dare she. I bet she is just WAITING for me to drop isn't she. I bet she thinks I can't make the record she set for me. Well I'll show her. I went through worse than this with Bakura. No way am I going to let her smirk at my weakness like Bakura use to. I'll die before that happens.' I thought.

With those thoughts, I increased my speed back into a run and started running the rest of the way. I saw Kyofu blink in surprise. 'Heh heh, surprised are you, better get used to it cause I am no ordinary guy' I thought smugly.

In about 25 minutes I finally was done with all my laps. As soon as I reached the finish line I dropped down and laid down on my stomach, breathing heavily, trying to get back some oxygen I had lost during the long run.

"Wow Ryou, I am quite impressed, never have any of my first timers actually ran the whole 30 laps, you just set a record, most of my men still can't get passed 22 laps let alone 30, you are really something," Kyofu said in awe.

I flipped over so now I was lying on my back. I looked up at her and smirked. 'Then her men must be wimps' I thought happily to myself.

"Guess this means I am already doing better than most your men then huh,' I asked happily. She smiled down at me and nodded.

"This is great, I have been waiting sooooooo long for a training buddy besides Akuun, and Bakura," Kyofu said, excitement evident in her voice. My eyes popped open.

"You train with Bakura," I asked in awe. Kyofu blushed at her mistake and then nodded slightly.

"Yes I do, you see Bakura once a month comes over to check on me and the group, and during that time we train a little bit, if you thought I was rough on training you should go train with Bakura, he's torture," Kyofu said.

I sighed. 'If only she knew.' I thought in exasperation. Then I realized something.

"Kyofu, how did you meet Bakura, I mean I am sure he doesn't just one day appear out of the blue and says he wants to go train your ass off," I asked, feeling truly curious about it. Kyofu blushed again and smiled slightly.

"Well you see, our parents a long time ago were really good friends, they liked to go thieving together all the time and such. Well when both Bakura and I were born our fathers decided to make us have an arranged marriage so we could unite our families," Kyofu said, her voice somewhat distant as she told her tale.

I blinked. 'I never knew Bakura was engaged. Suddenly I felt as if my heart was starting to silently shatter.' 'Bakura, he, he and this women they seem so close, Bakura and I were never like that' I thought sadly.

"Ryou is there something wrong, you look sad," Kyofu asked worriedly. I looked up at her eyes. They had such concern in them I couldn't help but want to tell her how I felt about Bakura. But I couldn't tell her, but I had to tell her something.

"Its just, your story made me sort of remember the one I really love, and well, the person I like doesn't really like me back so it kind of makes me sad sometimes." I said, trying to not sound too pitiful. Last thing I need is pity.

"Don't worry, Ryou, I am sure one day you'll love someone and that someone will love you back as well, just cause one person broke your heart, doesn't mean you should give up on love completely, just be patient and I am sure love will come." Kyofu said soothingly. I couldn't help but smile up at her.

"Thank you Kyofu, that really means a lot to me, I will keep that in mind, maybe one day I will find someone who loves me," I said happily as I grinned up at her.

Kyofu blushed.

"You know Ryou, I bet this person will be really lucky to have you, you have a really cute smile, I bet it could win over anyone you desired." Kyofu said slyly. She then held her hand out in front of my face, waiting for me to take it.

I hesitantly took her hand and she pulled me up without much effort. I then looked up into her eyes.

"You know Ryou, my mother once told me that if I ever met someone I thought was worth protecting then I should protect them, so you know what, I think your worth protecting, cause even though we have only known each other for a short time I already see you as a little brother, so for now on your mine to protect," Kyofu said happily.

"Kyofu, thanks that really does mean a lot," I said, before being pulled into some random direction by Kyofu. 'It's kind of nice to have a sister again' I thought as I stared at her. I smirked. 'Especially one who acts just like Amane' I thought, thinking back to my kid sister.

I shook my head before l looked back at Kyofu. 'Even though she was engaged to the one I secretly liked, it doesn't matter, because I know I could never hate or despise her, besides, its not as if Bakura loves me anyways, why should I let that prick come between another friendship.' I thought before putting away all my thoughts and just deciding to take a rest for the day.

"So Kyofu where are we going?" I asked as we kept walking. I was now walking beside her with my arms at my side. Kyofu just smirked secretly and kept quiet. I ticked my eyebrow up, showing that I was now full out annoyed.

"That one place," Kyofu joked as she started running off somewhere. I sighed and looked up at the ceilings. 'Why Ra, why must you curse me with this awful exercise' I thought in aggravation before running after the giggling green haired girl.

After a while Kyofu stopped in front of a door which on the front had the number 456 written in gold on it. I blinked as I stopped before it. Kyofu just smiled.

"This is where you and Yugi are staying for now on," Kyofu said as she opened the door. Hesitantly I stepped inside. There wasn't anything special about it. Just a few shelves, a table, a few doors and a wooden floor. There was also a wooden dresser. I soon found Yugi in one of the cots in the bedroom. He was sleeping soundly.

I looked over at Kyofu.

"There is a bedroom, a kitchen, a pantry, a bathroom, and a closet, and of course one hiding room incase of emergencies," Kyofu said, listing off all the rooms for me so I would know what was here.

"Where is this hiding room," I asked curiously. Kyofu smiled. Follow me. We went back into the first room we had been in when we walked in. We then walked over to a door to the right of the room. It was a black wooden door.

"This is the closet," Kyofu said. I raised up my eyebrow once more and I could feel a vain in my forehead twitch in annoyance.

"Kyofu I didn't ask you wear the bloody closet was, I asked you where the hiding room is," I said. Kyofu just smiled, not seeming bothered by my irritation.

"The hiding room is in hiding of course," Kyofu said innocently. I felt my vein twitch again.

"KYOFU THAT ISN'T WHAT I MEANT." I yelled in anger. 'Damn it, I might think of her like a sister but that doesn't mean that makes her any less annoying.' I thought angrily to myself.Kyofu just smiled secretly.

"The hiding room is in the closet," Kyofu said in her usual happy go lucky voice. I then fell to the ground in exasperation.

"What do you mean its in the closet, I thought it was a separate kind of room where you know, people can't easily find you," I said sarcastically, hoping this girl would get a clue.

"Oh but the hiding room is in the closet, its just under the closet, that's all." Kyofu said innocently. 'Ra this girl can be so annoying.'

"Why didn't you tell me that sooner you idiot," I growled, all of a sudden feeling very hungry and very tired.

"Heh heh sorry bout that, well anyways I'll show you around later, first, you take a bath and then get something to eat and THEN you can go to bed okay," Kyofu negotiated before dragging me off somewhere once more.

Soon we came to another door inside the place I now called apartment. This door was a light golden color. Kyofu opened it and soon I saw something completely unbelievable. A hot spring was right there in front of my eyes as well as what looked like a very gross toilet.

'How the hell were there hot springs in Egypt? There aren't any volcanoes or anything around here.' I thought to myself as I just stared at the very inviting looking steamy water.

"You like what you see I take it," Kyofu said cheerfully. I just nodded. "Good, luckily for us, I had found out that there was an underground lake way below where we stand at the moment, in that lake there is a dormant volcano, so thus, we got these wonderful hot springs." Kyofu said, answering my unasked question.

I blinked. "Are you telling me that you fucking built a secret hide out right on top of a volcano," I asked incredously. Kyofu nodded happily. "You can't be serious, no one could possibly be that dumb," I said, feeling dread start to gnaw into my stomach.

Kyofu frowned. "How is it dumb, it is perfect if you ask me, we get the best water in all of Egypt here," Kyofu argued. I just stared at her. 'She can't be serious...can she' I thought.

"Kyofu, seriously, that is dumb, what if the volcano erupted, then what, how the hell are we suppose to get away from an erupting volcano when were practically on top of it?" I interrogated.

"But Ryou, you don't get it, the volcano is dormant, dead, it can't harm us, so there is nothing to worry about," Kyofu said smugly. I rolled my eyes. 'Oh my god she actually is serious.'

"Kyofu, the volcano isn't dead, its just not awake, but when it does awake, usually dormant volcanoes are very deadly, and thus, dangerous, especially since we are right on TOP of it," I said, reason in my tone.

I watched as Kyofu's eyes widened and listened as she stuttered. Then she just huffed and stomped out of the room, hating the fact that she had been beaten in a battle of as I should say, common sense. I shook my head and then went to go enjoy my bath. I was too tired for this nonsense.

So what did you guys think. Remember, I won't update till I have those 8 precious little reviews kay.No holding me at gunpoint to make me update cause then I'll do kitty kung-fu on you. So just make this easy for us both and review. Well I am going to go update a cats infatuation. bai bai
