Chapter 1

"How many bloody times do I have to tell you Marik don't leave empty bottles in the icebox?"Bakura shouted

"It's called a fridge Bakura, also it's not empty theres still a swig in there" Marik replied grinning. He knew just how to get under the tomb robbers skin though he did have to be careful how far he pushed him. Being at a serious disadvantage not having the millennium rod anymore, but he wasn't completely helpless.

At this point it's a wonder Bakura hadn't strangled Marik or sent him to the shadows, but something told him he was still necessary. Vein nearly popping from his forehead Bakura yelled and and opted for punching the wall next to Mariks head.

"Hey just because we technically aren't paying rent doesn't mean you have to trash the place" Marik yelled as Bakura lowered his hand to his side still balled in a fist.

"Just be thankful it was the wall that suffered the consequences Marik, next time you might not be so lucky" Bakura let out with a sneer.

Marik sweat dropped he usually would push his luck and have some fun, but he had a job to do and decided to change the subject.

"We really should be getting ready to leave" Marik stated simply glancing around to the other side of the room where his suitcases were packed.

"What for?" Bakura groaned as he hadnt even fully woken up yet due to there being no coffee in the house for his usual plain black coffee. He had gone for his runner up choice some iced tea which Marik had carelessly drank down to nothing but a little ring at the bottom. Bakura sighed as he rubbed the bridge of his nose while he waited for Marik's response.

"My my what a forgetful mind the thief has, we have an arrangement in Egypt to recover artifacts for my sister" Marik chuckled as he noticed the tomb robber remembering a meeting from 3 weeks prior.

*flashback*

Marik and Bakura had made their way to domino museum at the request of Ishizu. They were greeted by a cheery Ishizu and a stern Kaiba.

"Welcome you two, if you will just follow me this wont take very long." Ishizu ushered them to follow her down a hallway and Kaiba walked behind the group. Kaiba didn't trust neither of two males worth a damn, but at the insistence of Ishizu needing them for the job he reluctantly agreed.

Inside a small office with just a desk and a few chairs . An ornate lamp in the corner had definitely seen its years.

" Have a seat" Ishizu spoke as she gracefully slid into a chair. Marik and Bakura plopped into the chairs in front of her. Kaiba remained standing to Ishizus right arms crossed in front of him.

"Now I have an offer I do believe you will find most beneficial." Before she stated the terms she slid a paper to each of them so they could read it over as well.

"Its quite simple really you will be meeting up at different sites and retrieving and sometimes locating items. Return to Japan with the items in tact bring them here and leave the rest to us."

" What do we get from this arrangement" Bakura stated before even reading the paper or allowing Ishizu to finish that part.

"If you hadnt interrupted Ishizu was just about to explain that to you idiot" Kaiba shot out at the annoyance of Bakura. Ishizu defused it quickly knowing both males had short fuses for tempers.

"In exchange for your services any and all travel expenses are taken care of, your rent is also taken care of well. Once any items are brought back you will receive a card preloaded with 15,000 yen"

Bakura still looked skeptical however. Marik chimed in with "Or would you rather go work with Tea at burger world?"

At these words Marik had never seen the thief move so quickly in his life. He signed it so fast they thought he might rip the paper. Marik had already signed his contract knowing it was way too good to pass up. The rare hunter money was gone and he needed to plan ahead this was a no brainers for him.

" This does mean that you work for me now and failure is not an option" Kaiba stated matter of factly. " I usually don't hire or have a use for the likes of and ex tomb keeper and a tomb robber, but given the nature of the job and Ishizus convincing it happened." Kaiba looked utterly disgusted with the idea, but knew it was in his best interest as well. Of course it would have to benefit him in some way.

Ishizu was pleased with how it turned out. "We can escort you out now that out business is settled. We will be in contact with your first job soon"

*end flashback*

"Alright so how much time do we have before we leave Marik?"Bakura asked not knowing where this sudden calm came from.

"2 hours however I took the liberty of packing your things so we can head there with no rush. I also ran around the corner and got you a plain coffee so you can stop glaring at me."

Bakura grabbed the coffee and sipped it. " Alright let's get this over with"

Aaaaaand that's it for this one. Trust me this is only the beginning I have quite a bit more in mind. Thanks for reading.
