Tenshi sat around the bar with Bakura's thieves. He felt their watchful eyes on him as he took another sip of his water. Hotaru had absolutely forbad him to have any alcoholic drinks for the rest of his days. Speaking of his sister, she and Makoto should be getting back soon. That was a little more comforting, since no one here really liked him. After all he was Atem's top guard and general. Hell he probably has killed some of their friends before. Thankfully due to Hotaru, Bakura told his men they were not aloud to kill him. He doubted he would still be in one piece if the violet eyed girl was not among them.
Recieving a glare from the bartender, he decided to go elsewhere. Before anything these men regretted happened. After all he wasn't made top guard for nothing. Still this was a lot of men for just him to handle. Taking his grail he began to walk out. Suddenly the doors flew open nearly knocking him over. One of the swinging doors did manage to knock the cup out of his hand though. He cursed it then looked up to see who had entered so rudely. It was Jabari, the only thief who was actually his friend. . . well kinda. The brunette looked furious too. His chocolate brown eyes were narrowed as he stormed across the room.
"Jabari what happened? Where's Bakura?" one of the men asked.
He threw a glare at him, "Your 'King' is just fine! He'll be here in a moment." he snapped.
Everyone looked around in confusion. Had the two got in a fight or something? That was very strange, the two were best friends. They had never fought before. Hearing the doors open again everyone quickly turned to it. However, much to their disappointment, it was only Makoto and Hotaru. The girls looked at everyone in confusion. Why were they being stared at? Portayga came out behind them and saw everyones serious face.
"What's wrong?" he asked in his husky voice.
"Jabari's pissed off at Bakura I think." Tenshi answered. Makoto seemed worried and went to go find him. Hotaru walked over to her brother to ask more questions, to which he didn't have the answers to.
Jabari and Makoto came back in. The two walked over to the siblings. "Come with us." Jabari said. They nodded and followed them out of the busy room. They went to Hotaru's room and closed the door behind them.
"Jabari what's going on? Where's Bakura?" the violet eyed girl asked.
"He's on his way. . . but there's something you should know. He's not. . . he's not himself. He's completely changed. We were just robbing one of the tombs when a priest showed up and tried to stop us. The priest had one of the Millennium Items, the Ring."
"That's High Priest Mahado." Tenshi said. Hotaru nodded, remembering the man.
At this Jabari seemed reluctant to tell them the rest. Makoto decided to take it from there. He had told her about the ordeal when she had found him. "Bakura and Mahado began to fight. Bakura killed him and took the Ring." the twins looked mortified. Mahado had been a dear friend of theirs. He had helped out with both of their training's.
Hotaru's expression became more serious. "So now Bakura has the Ring?"
"Correct." said a voice from the doorway.

"When is Dark going to be back?" a woman asked in an annoyed tone. Her grey eyes looked out of the flap of the tent she and a man were in. Besides her eyes the rest of her face was hidden behind white veils. She wore mens clothing and carried a spear in her hand. A small breeze blew into the tent, causing her veils to slightly ruffle. The man behind her was mostly hidden the shadows. He grabbed a shawl and captured all his hair into it.
That's when he stepped out into a little more light. Amused green eyes watched the woman. "He just left a day ago, and you already expect him to be done with his mission? Please Nama, he will need more time then that."
"Don't use that name on me!" she snapped, narrowing her eyes at him. "Etaxu."
The man only grinned when she called him that. "Fine. So 'Gravekeeper' when are you planning to have your party act?"
"As soon as that palace gets more settled. They're all scurrying around like frantic mice not that their leader is gone. Once they lower their guard I'll strike."
Etaxu nodded. "What about your group Flash?" she asked him. Etaxu, or rather Flash shrugged. "I was given orders that once your team takes over the palace I'm to infiltrate the city and kill anyone who resists our taking over."
"Dark better get back before we make our moves than. It will be pointless if he isn't there to lead our army." Flash nodded. Fully understanding the situation.
"Don't worry about it, he'll be back. His bloodlust will soon take over, and we can begin our new reign on this kingdom."

The group turned to see the white haired thief standing there. The Millennium Ring hung from his neck. Hotaru could see an ominous aura surrounding it. One look at Bakura and you could tell he was a completely different person. His eyes had darkened and held a more sadistic gleam in them. The grin on his face looked like it belonged to a heartless murderer.
"Hey there, did you all miss me?" his voice was even different. It was low, and full of malice.
Jabari glared at him. "We miss the Old You yes, not this Bakura."
"What are you talking about, I'm still the same me." he said holding his arms out to his side. A shiver went up everyone's backs. This Bakura's aura was completely evil.
"No. . . he's right. This isn't you Bakura. You've changed." Hotaru said stepping forward.
The evil Bakura just stared at her with lustful eyes. When looking into them, she immediately took a step back. Tenshi clutched the hilt of his concealed dagger, ready just incase the thief tried anything on his sister. Makoto also tensed her muscles up. She may have looked to Bakura as a brother, but if he harmed anyone in this room, she would do her best to take him down. The King of Thieves looked at each person.
"Why such the cold welcome? I thought you all were my friends."
"We are Bakura. And as your friend. . . I think you should take that Ring off."
Bakura glared at the violet eyed girl. "What the devil are you talking about?"
"Bakura that Ring is controlling you. It's making you. . . evil." Tenshi explained. Makoto and Jabari stayed quiet. They hadn't known it was the item that had caused this dramatic change. Though now it made sense. Swallowing her fear, the violet eyed girl reached over to touch the Ring.
The white haired man moved away from her hand. "I see you just want it for your self don't you?"
"Bakura that Ring is evil, only the High Priest Mahado could control its power. All the Millennium Items are like that. I know, I was being trained to one day be the holder of the Millennium Necklace." Hotaru explained.
He smirked evilly at her. "Then you can get it for me."
"No, Bakura, I won't. The Items will kill you. Please, take the Ring off." she pleaded.
"I said no!" he snapped.
Jabari stepped forward. "Bakura she's right. Ever since you got that thing you've become more unlike yourself. You've become worse. Now take the damn thing off!"
"Don't you ever give me orders again!"
"Bakura!" Hotaru shouted. He glared at her then raised his hand. Her violet eyes grew wide as he made ready to strike her. Suddenly a black blur whooshed past her and grabbed onto the mans wrist. Everyone in the room was still for a moment. Bakura's crimson eyes looked over at Tenshi who had stopped him. The boys violet eyes were serious, as was his whole face. When he spoke, his voice demanded attention, and held no sign of the normal crazy Tenshi in it.
"Fine you don't have to give the ring up. But if you so much as lay a hand on my sister with the intention of harming her, I will not hesitate to slit your throat." that's when they all noticed he also held his dagger to the thieves neck. No one had even seen his other arm move. The King of Thieves let out a growl but nodded. He was at too much of a disadvantage to attack the young soldier. Tenshi slowly released him but did not let his guard down one bit.
Bakura looked at the group, then let his eyes fall on Hotaru. "I can see I'm not wanted here. Fine then. I'm leaving to collect the rest of the Items. Try to stop me, and I'll kill you all." turning he threw a glare at Tenshi who only watched him calmly. The thief then walked out of the room and past the crowd that had gathered outside the door. Everyone watched as he left the hideout, then began to mumbled among each other.
Makoto turned to the younger girl who was slightly trembling. "Hotaru. . . I'm so sorry." the girl only nodded, then broke down into tears.
