Disclaimers on everything I don't own.
Hey everyone! Before I get started I was just wondering whether you'd like me to write any more stories with the Pharaoh's kids or with Cherry in them. Just curious. Anyway enjoy your next chapter.
Warning: This chapter might have slightly the same plot to that episode where Marik had taken over Bandit Keith's mind and made him duel for the puzzle after her had stolen it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 9"Excellent work boy!" Bakura laughed as he snatched the puzzle from Horus' hands. "Mhuhahahahahahaha!!!!!" (Que thunder, lightning, etc.) "Now, I have another mission for you. Get your sister to come to the graveyard tonight. I'll have a special surprise waiting for her." The white haired boy turned and without another word walked off down the street leaving the Egyptian prince shaking with guilt.
"So you really are over 5,000 years old." Cherry said to the spirit sitting on the end of her bed.
"Yes, and I've finally been able to come back to life thanks to you."
"And you're the pharaoh's daughter?" Bast nodded her head. "And why do I keep having these blackouts? When the pharaoh takes over Yugi's body, he said that he could still see and hear everything."
"To be able to do that you need to fight. It hurts at first but keep fighting and it'll become less painful with time." Cherry nodded and yawned. She looked over at her clock, it read 10:45. It's really late I'd best be getting to bed if I want to make it to school on time tomorrow."
Bast disappeared back into the pyramid and left Cherry to get some sleep.
"Hey guys." Said Cherry as she ran up to Joey and Tristan who were waiting outside her house.
"Hey Cherry." Tristan replied as he swiftly swooped her into a hug. "Ready for school?"
"Yup." The three were just about to walk off towards school when they heard a voice behind them.
"Bast! Bast!" It was Horus. His sister immediately overtook Cherry's body at the sound of urgency in his voice.
"Horus! What's wrong?" She asked.
"Bast, I've done something terrible!" And the boy collapsed to his knees before his sister.
"What? What have you done?" Bast knelt down in front of Horus and put her hands on his shoulders.
"Before… before we found each other I met this guy and he said…"
"What did he say?!"
Horus hesitated before answering. "He said I have to get the puzzle off of dad and give it to him otherwise he'd send me to the shadow realm!" The black haired boy hung his head in shame and tears began to swell from his brown eyes. "Then when I give it to him he said I have to get you to go to the graveyard tonight, he said he'll have a surprise waiting for you!"
Bast gasped before asking. "What was the guys name?!"
"I don't know. He didn't tell me."
"Well, what did he look like?"
Horus sobbed before answering. "He had brown eyes and long white hair, and he had an English accent."
"Sounds like Bakura." Said Joey, clenching his fists.
"Have you told dad?" Inquired Bast.
"I can't he's stuck inside the puzzle."
"We have to tell Yugi!" Said Tristan, Bast helped her brother on to his feet and the four of them all ran to the game shop.
Bast and her mates finally arrived at the game shop doors just as Yugi walked through them.
"Yugi!" They all shouted in unison.
"My puzzles gone." The young one whispered.
"We know what's happened!" Said Joey, Yugi lifted his head in interest. "Bakura threatened Horus to steal it from you and hand it to him, if he didn't he was going to send him to the shadow realm!"
"What?"
"And now he wants me to go to the graveyard tonight." Continued Bast.
"We best all go." Said Tristan, "Every little helps."
"Right" Said Bast, "So the next thing to do is to wait until tonight."
Meanwhile, inside the millennium pyramid.
"So what do you think Cherry?" Asked Bast.
"Sounds really dodgy. I wonder what he meant by 'he'll have a surprise waiting for you'. That's got to be something bad."
"Yeah, well on a higher note, Bakura can't actually use the puzzle power unless he beats Yugi in a duel monsters game."
"So we just have to make sure that Yugi wins. We best take our deck, just in case."
"Yup, I wonder what he want with me anyway."
"Probably the same thing he wants from your dad. The millennium items."
Hours later, the sun had finally gone down, and Yugi and the gang were just arriving at the graveyard, as was arranged. Bast was the first to walk through the gates. The group wandered around for about five minutes before they found Bakura.
"I'm here like you asked Bakura." Bast shouted.
"I'm glad you remember me."
"How could I forget." As these words were said Yugi, Horus, Joey, Tristan and Tea walked through the mist and next to Bast.
"You brought company." Said Bakura, "How thoughtful of you to invite your friends to witness your family's demise."
"What the hell do you want?"
"I want your millennium pyramid, and if you don't had it over and agree to duel me right now then you will pay the price."
"What do you mean?" Bast's voice was breaking with uncertainty. Her gaze followed where the tomb robbers hand as pointing. She squinted as she tried to make out what it was.
In the shadows was a young girl tied with rope to a wooden chair. She wore a ripped linen dress and her brown hair was matted and tangled. She lifted her small head, her eyes met with Yugi's and a small voice whispered,
"Daddy?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What did you think of the ending on that one? Good or bad? Don't to tell weather you like the Pharaoh's kids and if you want me to write more stories with them.
Thanks for reading and don't forget to review! PS, sorry for the delay.
