Marik smiled slightly at his sleeping friend and slowly got up, his feet landing softly on the marble floor, cautious of waking the white haired yami.    “Koi, wait up!” Marik quirked an eyebrow at the voice drifting through the window. That sounds strangely familiar. Just when Marik started heading to the window, Yami walked in through the door.   “Where have you been, ‘Pharoah’?” Yami looked up at Marik with tired eyes. Why is he up so early?     “That’s none of your business.” Without another word, Yami collapsed on the bed and fell asleep. Bakura grunted in his sleep but was otherwise oblivious to his surroundings. Marik let out a sigh and headed for the courtyard.   Everything outside held an orange tinge to it, cast by the early rays of the rising sun. The many servants of the pharaoh walked around busy doing their chores of the day before Ra shone with its full power.   Marik wandered around aimlessly, his thoughts drifting to the familiar voice that drifted through the window earlier on. Whose voice was that … it’s so familiar yet I can’t put my finger on it.  Without knowing it, Marik had wandered away from all the action in the courtyard and entered a serene sanctuary.   Surprised by the sudden change in atmosphere Marik looked up and found himself surrounded by exotic plants and in front of him lay the calmest waters reflecting the glowing sun. Marik was held captive by the tranquility of the place when soft laughter was heard. Determined to find out who it belonged to Marik quickened his pace and headed towards the sound.   He stopped abruptly in his steps, hardly believing what he saw, his jaw short of falling off.   ~~~~~~ The sound of screeching tires caught the hikari’s attention and their heads snapped up. Ryou’s eyes were the size of saucers as he watched the truck head towards them, his feet frozen in place. Malik tried to get himself and Ryou out of the way before the truck collided with them but the distance to either end of the road was too far. Damn these stupid roads. He tugged on Ryou’s arm trying his best to at least get out of the trucks path but he knew they won’t be able to move fast enough.    The truck thundered down the road, tears running down the drivers eyes at the helplessness, the two hikaris tried desperately to scramble out of its way and out of the thin air, without a soul noticing, two angels appeared. They dove towards the hikaris and in an eye piercing glow the truck stopped abruptly and the hikaris vanished from the middle of the road.   Malik felt arms wrap around him and his vision was blinded by light. When his vision returned he found himself safely in the backyard of his house. Malik looked beside him to find his friend clearing his eyes and standing over them was Kaede sensei and a blue haired stranger that had an even weirder hair style than his yami.   “Kaede… what just happened? And who’s that?” Malik quirked an eye brow at the golden eyed angel causing Ren to twitch and mutter under his breath.   “Mortals…”   “Whoa… he sounds like Bakura.”   Hearing all the sudden noise outside, Ishizu opened the door and eyes widened in shock as she realized who stood over her brother and friend, before any words were passed between brother and sister, Ishizu ushered everyone into the house.   “Malik what happened?” Ishizu sat down calmly on the couch while she gestured for the others to do the same. Malik and Ryou hastily sat down still rather jumpy from the close escape.   “There was this truck that was out of control and running towards us. And then suddenly there was this bright light and we ended up being here with Kaede sensei and ... uh... “ Malik looked at Ren questioningly expecting a name but the other two occupants of the room was staring at the stab of stone resting on the coffee table.   Ren’s narrowed golden eyes resembled those of a cat’s as he read the scripture engraved in the stone. Although he knew about the curse it was still a shock to see the evidence of the pharaoh’s actions. Kaede’s eyes were also fixed on the scriptures, she had never thought she’ll see this stone again, since that day she had returned to the city and had the outburst with Yami.   “I believe you must be Ren, Bakura’s eldest brother and Kaede, Yami’s sister.” Ryou and Malik looked at Ishizu in awe.   “Oneechan, that’s Kaede sensei, what do you mean she’s the pharaoh’s sister?” Ishizu just continued on looking at the pair standing in the middle of their lounge. Ren met her gaze and answered Malik’s question.   “We became angels after our death in Ancient Egypt but Kaede was sent to protect Ryou until the Curse was broken hence our appearance in the mortal plane.”   “If I’m not mistaken, Bakura and the other two yamis should be in Ancient Egypt right now? Am I correct?” Kaede looked at Ishizu with almost pleading eyes, if the yamis were already sent back in time that meant that her task was soon to be accomplished.     “Yes, and that reminds me. I have replenished enough magic to send them forward.” Ishizu’s eyes drifted close and Malik and Ryou watched in awe as a glow suddenly illuminated the room. ~~~~~~ Sitting in front of Marik were Yami and Bakura in each other’s arms. Marik shook his head, positive he must be imagining things. But when he opened his eyes the image was still there. After getting over the initial shock, Marik’s lips curled into a smirk. Oh this should be fun.  Turning on his heels Marik headed back to the palace where the other two yamis slept soundly, oblivious that what they were preventing Marik from finding out was all ready in the open.   After wondering through directionless in the palace Marik let out an irritated cry of anguish and just reached out telepathically to Bakura and willed himself to appear where the other yami was.   On seeing the smirk on Marik’s face, Bakura almost instantly knew that Marik had found out. But before Marik could voice any snide remarks a glow surrounded the three yamis. When the lighting returned to normal they found themselves in the grand hall of the palace. Without being given the chance to take in his surroundings Marik’s head swung to the majestic double doors as they swung open and a red-brown haired girl stormed in, her eyes burning with rage with flames that danced wildly.   “Isn’t that Malik’s sensei, Kaede?” Bakura followed Marik’s gaze but he did not recognize the person to be a teacher at Domino High, but Yami’s younger sister. Yami himself recognized the person that walked in and looked away shifting uncomfortably, realizing that they have moved forward in time and what was about to happen.   “You guys can stay here. I’m going to go get some air.” Yami disappeared leaving Bakura and Marik to take in their surroundings. On the throne sat the pharaoh (The one in ancient Egypt) with his arms around an ebony haired boy. The two had their lips tightly locked, oblivious to the intrusion.    The doors slammed shut startling the compassionate couple. Yami glanced up with annoyed eyes at his sister.   “It’s nice to see that you’re back but where has your manners gone?” Kaede rolled her eyes and sarcastically curtsied annoying her royal brother some more.   “Yami I didn’t come back to spend my time bowing to your majesty, plus this isn’t a formal occasion.  What happened to Ba… … Who is that on your knees?” A look of disgust flooded over Kaede’s features. “Oniichan, this is the grand hall, where all matters concerning Egypt should be resolved and sorted, how could you bring your … your…” She was at lost of words to describe the guy sitting on her brothers laps.   When she had left with their mother to the eastern settlement after their father’s death and the ceremony crowning Yami as Pharaoh her brother was still with Bakura, but now everything seemed to have changed. Yami wasn’t the same anymore, the way he looked at her with such cold eyes as if she was just another servant. What ever happened to her loving brother?   “I don’t need you to tell me what to do! I’m the Pharaoh Kaede and let me remind you of your status, if you were any servant I’ll have had you slain already for talking to your Pharaoh like that. Now leave.” Yami’s voice bellowed through the hall, it wasn’t a request but a command.   “Oniichan!”   “Guards, take her to her room.” The palace guards looked doubtfully at their pharaoh but followed their orders. Kaede glared at them, daring them to touch her. The guards took hesitant steps back.   “Yami I didn’t come back to bicker with you but when I have my answers I’ll leave. What happened with you and Bakura? I heard that…” She never got to finish her sentence, the dark haired boy frowned at the name. Yami visibly twitched seeing his (new) ‘lover’ upset.   “Don’t ever mention his name again! “   “Demo.. Doshite? Bakura was your lover and you sent him to the dungeons and ordered lashes on him?” Kaede let loose the rein she had on her temper. Bakura had grown up with the royal siblings, much like an older brother to Kaede. She had heard when with her grieving mother about what the Pharaoh had done to Bakura and rushed back hoping that what she heard was false. But something else was wrong, she had went to see the palace mages when she detected the tremble of air currents, the sign that magic was at work, when she had set foot into the palace, asking what spell was at work. The mages had only shook their heads and wished her well.     “Oniichan! And the spell? I sense magic working here; I’ve been to the crystal where you’ve inscribed the curse on Bakura. How could you do that to him? And for what .. for that …that….” Kaede gestured to the other boy. “What happened to you? You’ve become pharaoh for just over three months and you’ve changed completely! All you do is sit here, all over your love toy while people out in the streets of Egypt suffer under your rule. The slaves you take in that endure the torture you put on them. Yami where’s your heart?!”   Yami’s eyes were burning with rage at his younger sister. His fists were clenched tightly together, knuckles going white.   “Enough! Guards take her to the dungeons and 50 lashes.” Kaede narrowed her eyes at her brother and when the guards took hold of her arms she shook them away and hissed, “I can walk on my own.”   Bakura and Marik looked on as Kaede swept out of the room with her silks trailing behind her. Marik looked confusedly at Bakura.   “What was that all about?”   “In short, Yami became a heartless bastard after he received sovereignty over Egypt.”   “So he dumped you aye? Hn. The great tomb robber Bakura got dumped by the Pharaoh. Now that’s some news.” Bakura felt like punching the smirk off Marik’s face.   “Fuck off Marik.” He glanced over his shoulder at Yami and his bed slave who he knew from memory was Hatsui, and slipped through the walls, Marik following suit.   ~~~~~~~ I’m so sorry ..
