Okay, there were so many different ways I could go with this. I made a list, and I had 13 different ways. Yeah, 13! Anyway, this is chapter 7. This is the chapter that explains everything. I own nothing at all!

Chapter 7- The Past Can Haunt You

BAKURA'S POV

It was well past midnight, but I couldn't sleep. Yugi and his friends (expect for Tea) decided to sleep over. Joy. Marik already went home, but I was staying here for now. Everyone was asleep except for me. I thought about her. Sam. Why was it so familiar? I had to figure it out. I just had to. I went into Yugi's bag. I was careful, so that way no one could hear me. I opened it up. How the hell did he get this? It was the millennium key. I thought Shadi had it. I took it, and the millennium ring. I couldn't help myself. I had no freaking clue how I was going to get there. My millennium ring was detecting something. Like a millennium item perhaps. It was guiding me the whole time. I swore I heard a scream. Suddenly my ring was shaking. It was as if it heard the scream. About 10 minutes later, it led me to a mansion home. It was huge. The ring pointed to the upper right window. Being a thief king, I easily snuck in. I had the key in my pocket, and the ring was dragging me. There she was. It was the girl. Sam. This stupid ring! It must have been wrong! How the hell could she have a damn millennium item! I looked at her. Her long hair was out of a pony tail, and the way she slept was so…So… Innocent. It was like the way Ryou slept. She was on her side, and had one hand on her pillow. To think about it, it was EXACTLY how he slept.

"D…Don't hurt me!" she said. She was obviously dreaming.

I had to figure it out. I took the key, and pressed it against her forehead. Then I was sucked into the blackness.

I opened my eyes, and I was in a long & narrow hallway. I heard music coming from the last door all the way down the hallway. I saw her again. There she was in her soul room. Her soul room was golden with a touch of black. She was singing quietly to a song. Based on the lyrics I assumed it was called "Near To You". I was looking, but I didn't dare go in. When she was about to open her mouth, a couple of paintings appeared on the wall. I noticed one of them was mine when I was the Thief King and me as well…. Me. She looked at the Thief King picture.

He and I had something beautiful but so dysfunctional it couldn't last.

Then she went to my painting

I loved him so, but I let him go cuz I knew he'd never love me back.

What did she mean by that?

Then the room changed. It changed to a scene. The scene was in past Egypt. A girl that looked like her was tied up. She was in the desert. There was a man (that I swear looked like me). He had the ring. He untied the girl, and looked at her arm. He took the ring and pressed it against her wrist. The "needles" on the ring were almost stabbing her. It made a mark. The mark looked just like the ring (just a smaller version). The scene faded away.

Such pain as this shouldn't have to be experienced

I'm still reeling from the pain.

Still a little bit delirious.

Near to you, I am healing.

But it's taking so long

Cuz even though he's gone

The picture of the thief king started slowly to dissolve.

And you are wonderful

It's hard to move on.

Yet, I'm better near to you.

She kept on singing. But when she sung that one line.

I'm battle scarred, and I am working oh so hard

To getting back to I used to be.

Her whole appearance changed. Instead of having black her, she had blonde bangs. She was much tanner, and she had the same eye look as Marik. (I mean the black sqiggly thingy.)

She kept on changing during the whole entire song. It hit me: Her hair. It looked the same as… the Pharaoh. The colors were the same. The blonde bangs. Even the streaks of the pinkish purple. When she was finished, she said

"Hello Bakura." She just smiled.

"Hi."

"So why the hell are you here?"

"To tell you the truth, I wanted to find out more."

"Well then, let me fill you in. You are the reason I have this mark." She showed me her wrist. It did look like the ring. "Also, you are the reason I can trust no one."

"What do you mean by that?" I asked

" I totally gave up everything. I trusted you with my heart. But as you said 'You're just a pawn in my game'." She was walking away. I did what anyone what do. I grabbed her arm. She screamed.

"Stop walking away from me." I yelled.

"Okay okay. Just…don't hurt me." She cried. She dropped to her knees. She was in pain, and I could tell. I let go of her, and right away she grabbed her wrist in pain.

"I want you to tell me everything. NOW" I said.

"M…my name is Samalia. I'm not really who I say I am." She was shuttering. "H..Here follow me." I followed her. "Open this door, and you will find out who I really am." I opened the door and she pushed me in. The next thing I knew I was outside of her house with a major headache. That damn kid.
