Chapter 3

The tri-color haired prince walked quickly into the entrance of the palace, intent on carrying out the crazy plan he was concocting.

"Ready Tristan, Bakura, Marik?" Yami said to the three guards standing in the middle of the room with a gold laden chest between them.

"Yeah, we're ready." Tristan replied, jumping to attention.

"I don't wanna go anywhere!" Marik whined and hung onto Bakura like a small child.

"I can't believe we're going through all of this for a-hey! Get off!" Bakura was interrupted as Marik climbed on him and latched into him like a monkey.

"But 'Kura! It's fun to hang off you!" Marik laughed and tugged on Bakura's hair. The white-haired guard knocked the blonde-haired guard on his butt.

"Owwie! That hurt. 'Kura!" Marik pouted as he stood up and rubbed his sore butt.

"Guys! Knock it off!" Yami yelled and sent them a glare. The guards stood at attention, although Bakura looked bored.

"Now, let's go!" Yami shouted as he threw a cloak to conceal himself around his shoulders. The guards picked up the chest and walked out of the palace into the desert sand.

*place change!*

"Ahhh!" Yugi yelled as he fell towards the net and bounced till he stopped. He pouted and jumped off the net, landing lightly on the ground. "Dammit." He cursed silently to himself and walked to the ladder that led upwards to the trapeze.

"Hey Yugi!" a voice called out and Yugi turned around to see Ryou running towards him.

"Hey!" the white-haired knife thrower stopped in front of him. "You ok? That looked like a bad fall." Ryou looked Yugi over and dusted the smaller boy off.

"I've taken worse tumbles, Ryou." Yugi reasoned and brushed the remaining dirt off his practice robes.

"True, but now it just seems like you're overdoing it. Slow down, you're going to get hurt." The white-haired knife thrower worried about his small friend.

"Well, I have to make sure that the audience enjoys the show." The star-haired boy joked and Ryou shot him a disapproving look. "I'm fine, Ryou. I've taken worse tumbles than that before." Yugi reasoned and a chuckle sounded from behind them. Both turned to find the blonde haired lavender-eyed snake charmer of the circus in the cream colored tunics that they all wore to practice in.

"It's true, Ryou. You should have seen it two years ago when he tried to do a flip on the trapeze with the arm that he broke the night ago." The snake-charmer chuckled and Ryou turned to stare flabbergasted at his friend.

"Shut up Malik!" Yugi mumbled and sweat-dropped as he turned back to the ladder. "That was three years ago and I'm not going to do that again."

"Yes you will. You're just like that." Another voice came up from behind Malik and they turned to find Jounouchi the lion tamer. His honey colored eyes twinkled mischievously as he smirked and swung his arm around the smaller boy's shoulders. Yugi pouted and crossed his arm, but ended up chucking as he playfully pushed the taller boy away.

"I know, I know. I would probably do that in a heartbeat, Jou" Yugi agreed and laughed as he tried to start climbing the ladder again, but was interrupted yet again by another performer running towards him.

"Someone's coming! Someone's coming!" a boy with brown hair and brown eyes called out and Jounouchi reached out and grabbed the boy by the collar, stopping him.

"Hey, Jaden, what's going on?" the taller boy asked the shorter one. Jaden pointed in the direction of the tent that Yugi's grandfather used as an office and Yugi immediately shot off in that direction.

"Yugi, wait!" Ryou shouted and ran after him. Malik shrugged and followed.

"Hey guys, wait up!" Jounouchi called out to his friends and released the boy to pursue his friends.
