Bakura half slid and half fell from the saddle and onto the sand. When he found the strength, he removed the reins and let the animal drink from the small crystal- blue pool in the center of the oasis. He sat on the edge of the lake and drank the water also. A slight rustle in the thick trees caught Bakura's attention. Despite the throbbing in his side, Bakura stood. Being a thief made him jumpy and quick. Another rustle sounded, this time on the other side of the pond. Bakura's icy eyes narrowed, obviously this person was playing tricks. Bakura took a deep breath and turned to the bush.

"If you don't stop playing tricks, I swear I'll stop it for you." He hissed. The bush rustled and out stepped a brown-haired girl his age.

Teana was picking some fruit and placing the balloon- like fruit into a coiled reed basket. Her throat begged for water. She reached for her urn of water that was strapped to her leather belt. She lifted it to her mouth and not a single drop fell into her mouth.

"I'd better get water soon." She muttered to herself, and she headed towards the crystal pool. Unknowing for the thief that was there.

She was about to walk to the pool's edge when she saw him. He was sitting at the waters' edge, drinking its' water for his palm. He was tanned and muscular like most Egyptians but his hair and eyes seemed out of place. His hair was white like the finest sand and his eyes were a light purple, but they showed no kindness, they were cold and hard. Teana shivered at the sight. Afraid that he would see her, she backed into the bush, causing it to rustle softly. The man looked in her direction and she held her breath. When he turned and stood, she spotted to wound in his side, that was covered by a torn piece of beige cloth. Teana backed farther into the bush and ran in a wide semi-circle, being careful not to alert to the strange man that she was there. When she managed to the other side of the thick bush that surrounded to pool, she adsorbed his clothing. He was in a thick red robe that was edged with golden trim. The underlining was a course beige cloth like to bandage on his wound. Accidentally, the bush rustled again and he turned, hissing in warning.

"If you don't stop playing tricks, I swear I'll stop it for you."

A death threat, Teana could tell. She softly sighed.

"Ishiuz is going to kill me." She thought before stepping into view.

Bakura stared at the girl.

'This was the person who was playing tricks on me?'

It seemed so unbelievable that he wanted to laugh. This girl before him was very curvy, with long legs that were noticeable by the two long slits in her white skirt. Her hair was chocolate brown and was cut just above her shoulders. Her skin was strangely light in color, like porcelain and her eyes were the color of sapphires and twinkled. She was the strangest and most beautiful girl he had ever seen. A dense silence sat between the two. Both stared at the other dumbfounded. Bakura opened his mouth to speak but the girl beat him to it.

"Who are you and how did you find this place?" She asked though closed teeth. Bakura's eyes wavered to a reed coiled basket with large bulbous fruit inside. His eyes trained on the girl again.

"I am the great Thief King Bakura, But because of who I am," He cocked one eyebrow up to scare the girl. However, it failed.

"I can't tell you how I found this place." He finished. The girl looked skeptical. Her sapphire eyes fell to the wound in his side, then back to his face.

"I don't trust you." she hissed. Her voice was soft and soothing. "But you look like you need help."

Bakura suddenly felt dizzy and light-headed. He swayed for side to the other, then finally his legs give in and he collapsed.

Teana's first reaction was to hold out her arms and catch him. He was heavier then she thought he was. She sighed. He was handsome alright but she needed him out of her hair.

"Ishiuz is DEFINTALY going to kill me" She muttered. She grabbed her basket and dragged the thief back to their hideout.
