"Woah!" Yugi exclaimed as he looked at the new clothes Akefia gave him, "So good! This looks like they are made by an expert!".

"Because my teacher was a really strict person that would never let me doing something not perfectly." Akefia said with a proud smirk, he yelped when his Mother's ghost smacking him upside the head, how the ghost could hit someone was a mystery.

"It's fully your doing, I didn't help you at all aside from teaching you how to sew." Akefia's Mother complained.

Akefia rubbing his head, "But you still scold me if I did it badly." He mumbled in answer.

"I have to." Akefia's Mother retorted, "There's no way I will let you giving Yugi something that would fit a pig more than a human being".

Yugi laughed when he heard that, but he didn't make a comment and just changing into his new clothes, his old one was indeed too thick for Egypt's hot temperature, he wondered where he came from? It's always saddened him when he couldn't remember his own Country, but he know that it's not an amnesia like what Akefia told him, it's a Magic, a spell was placed upon him during the time he got kidnapped, no matter whatever the reason he was kidnapped for.

"Yeah, yeah." Akefia said nonchalantly, he saw Yugi finished changing, "Come on, Yugi, we will head back to the oasis." He said as he stood up from his sitting position.

"Okay, Papa!" Yugi chirped, he looked at Akefia's Mother, "See you one day in the future Grandma!" he said before running to his now bigger Pony, a horse was really grown faster than human, but Kurobara was even more faster than normal horse since he reached Akefia's chest already, he was only around Akefia's waist the first time Yugi got him.

"Come again soon." Akefia's Mother said with faking tears, "I will really missing you here, hiks." She added with a fake sobbing.

Akefia merely rolled his eyes on that before waving to his Mother and walking to Yugi, they rode off to their oasis in leisure pace so they won't exhausting Yugi's Pony.

Akefia grinning when he was running from the guards, another month has passed since he came back from Kul Elna, he was enjoying to steal and out run the guards again. He looked back when he got near the mouth of the alley and found that no one was chasing after him anymore, so he walked leisurely to the main road and to the entrance of the village and to his waiting horse.

He rode back to the oasis with his horse as soon as he get to his horse, he couldn't wait to get back to his hideout and give Yugi what he had just steal. "Welcome back, Papa." Yugi's strangely strangled voice welcoming him, he stopped his horse and looked around to see Yugi was climbing a tree.

Akefia gasped before he climbed down his horse and running to his son, or the one he cared like his own son, "What are you doing?" he asked as he reached out to Yugi.

"I'm learning how to climb a tree." Yugi answered before sighing and just let himself slid down the three, "I saw how you climbed a wall, but I couldn't even climbed a tree." He whined with a pout.

Akefia stared at Yugi before he laughed out loud, "That because you are still inexperience." He said as he pat the boy's back, "I was often failed myself in the past, you only need to try it more." He smiled at the boy, "That aside, I brought something for you." he said as he reached into his robe, "I saw this earlier and know that you will like it and suited you very well." He handed the boy a pair of daggers with the Eye of Horus engraved to them.

Yugi stared at them with wide eyes before grinning widely at Akefia, "Thank you!" he exclaimed happily and excitedly as he grabbed the daggers and take a look at the Eye, "What is this eye?" he asked curiously.

Akefia smiled, "It's the Eye of Horus, they are supposed to be a charm of protection." He explained patiently, "Do you like them?" he asked.

Yugi slipped his daggers in his sash, he looked up at Akefia and grinning widely, "I like them!" he chirped happily before scowling, "But, really." He sighed in annoyance, "Do you really need to steal everyday? After we get back from Kul Elna, you went out stealing everyday without any exception!" he glared, or trying to glare, at the white haired man in front of him, "Papa, you need to give them a break! Don't steal everyday!".

Akefia sighed, Here he goes again, he thought in annoyance before narrowing his eyes at the boy, "I already said this before, Yugi, but it's already in me to steal, there's no way I would stop." He said firmly.

Yugi shook his head, "I didn't say that you have to stop, no, I told you to give them a break once in a while." He retorted, "Like, you didn't steal from them around two weeks in a month, so they can at least have a rest and wouldn't lose too much." He explained slowly, "They are humans too, Papa, they need to eat, drink, sleep, just like us. They also need money to life, Papa, so give them a break once in a while".

Akefia sighing out loud and a long one too, "Yugi, you are talking to me like I'm the one being a kid here." He mumbled unhappily, "But, even if I didn't steal for two weeks, what should I do? You know that I will get bored if I don't do some stealing." He asked.

Yugi grinned, "I have an idea, Papa." He said cheerfully with a mischievous smirk.

Akefia shivered, somehow he didn't like it when Yugi smirking at him in that kind of way.

Yup, he really didn't like it when Yugi smirking to him in that kind of way, because he really hate what he had to do now. Geez, what a bossy kid I took in? He asked himself as he wearing his hood to hide his white hair and scarred face, he really would die in embarrassment if one of the thief saw him looking like that.

He was wearing something similar with his usual clothing, but his robe is black and not red. What's so bad with that? What's so bad was the fact that he was carrying a bundle of clothes wrapped in a big black cloth, what Yugi want him to do during the time of his break was to sell clothes.

Clothes of all things! He snapped in his head with a groan, but he set a plain face and search for an empty stall to places his merchandise. Why the hell Yugi had to use his 'Deadly Puppy Dog Eyes' again? He grumbled in his head, he really couldn't win against Yugi's Puppy Eyes technique, damned the one who taught him that technique.

Yugi giggled when he heard Akefia's groan, he was walking beside the white haired man and wearing his own black robe that was newly made by Akefia, he saw an empty spot and told his Papa to go there. He then helped the man to displaying all the clothes for people to see so they would be interested to buy them, after that, he just sat near the stall and let Akefia did all the works.

At first, not many people interested in what Akefia was selling, but when a rich looking woman walking nearby and saw them, she walked closer and picked one that she like, "This will look good on my son." The woman said before looking at Akefia, "You are new in here, what's your name?".

Akefia looking at the woman with a raised eyebrow, "I'm Bakura." He replied casually, he had thought of the possibility of people asking his name so he already prepared with a nickname. Bakura was actually the name of his family, so it was really his name, just not the one that people know of him as the Thief King.

"I see." The woman said with a nod before looking at the clothes, "How much is this?" she asked as she looked at Akefia again.

Akefia smirked, "Only one gold coin." He replied confidently, he was not only a Master in stealing, but he know how to become a great merchant too, he often disguised as a merchant when he hunted some information, the merchants often know many things.

The woman smiled, "A piece like this, isn't a gold coin too cheap?" she asked as she handed Akefia two gold coins, "Your talent is impressive, I'm sure many would like to have you around here".

Akefia smirked again, "It's indeed cheap, but the fabric was not that good, so I only take one gold for them." He give back the other coin, "I appreciated your generosity though, come again some time in the future, Lady".

The woman smiled but nodded, "You really are a strange person, Bakura." She said before she went away.

After the exchange with the woman, many people started crowding around Akefia's stall, some of them even bought more than one set of clothes.

"See, it's not so bad." Yugi commented when Akefia packing up his stuffs, "You get yourself famous in one day and you got some information about what's happening in the Palace".

"Shut up." Akefia grumbled with a smirk, "Well, I guess that it's not as bad as I thought." He added when he finished, he looked at Yugi, "Let's go home".

Yugi grinned at Akefia, "Sure, Papa!" he answered cheerfully.

They then walking to the place where Akefia left his horse alone, Red was smart so Akefia never really bothered with tying his horse, his horse would never wandering too far from the place Akefia left her.
