Remember, I warned you in the description.. There's an OC in here, people! 1 OC! It's so terrible! ..Sorry, yes, I'm an OC hater.. And I put an OC in here.. Which was horrible for me to do.. But she fit in well with the story. It's comedy with a pinch of romance! What would you expect? It's better than me putting Author's Notes into every few lines or adding myself into the story, isn't it?! >_>

One final warning I didn't mention in the description: This is my first story for MediaMiner. Be forewarned! Also.. It's a script. Go figure.

Sennen Item #1 (Chapter 1)-

The Sennen Ring

"A New Master Comes Forth"

**************************

-Atemu's POV-

Ah, what a glorious day! The sun's shining, my feet are tingly, and the Royal Guards are ugly. Perfect. I wish my father was here to see this day.. ^_^

Siamun: Pharaoh! A poor sap--er.. I mean.. Sinner has come for Judgement.

Judgement's a really weird process, isn't it? First Shada uses the Sennen Key to look into the sinner's soul, then Akunadin's Sennen Eye looks at the Ka and forces it out, then Kalim's Sennen Scales weigh the sinner's evil, and finally Seto's Sennen Rod seals the Ka into a Sealing Stone, or Tablet.

Now you wanna know what Isis, Nefertiti and Mahaado are for, right? Well, Mahaado's pretty cool, he has the Sennen Ring and can tell a Sinner's soul from a good person's soul. Isis and Nefertiti obtain visions and can tell what happens.. They're helpful in the right situations. Now quit bugging me, I have a Judgement to watch!

-Normal POV-

Guard: This man has been found raiding the former Pharaoh's tomb, Your Majesty.

Guy who Raided the Tomb: I didn't do anything! There was nothing left at the tomb, I swear! Someone else took it all!

Atemu: ...

Siamun: *whispers* Sounds suspicioooous...

Atemu: Quiet, Siamun.

Shada: I shall look into this Sinner's soul! *Sennen Key glows* ...I see the Ka, Priest Akunadin..

Akunadin: What is it? Anything important?

Shada: No, just a low-level Demon Ka, quite normal for a thief as you know, Priest Akunadin..

Akunadin: Yeeeah.. I knew that.. *mumbles*

Shada: *stares blankly at Akunadin* Well? Aren't you going to release the Ka so Priest Seto can seal it?

Akunadin: Oh, right.. Sennen Eye! *It glows.. Pretty lights!*

Siamun: The Ka has appeared.. It's very weak..

Seto: Time to seal the stupid pest.. *takes out the Sennen Rod* Sennen Rod, use your great powers to seal this putrid Ka into its final resting place!

**Everyone stares at the Ka, who is sealed inside the tablet.**

Akunadin: I sentence this Sinner to 7 years' hard labor.

Guard: Yes, Priest Akunadin. *drags the Guy Who Raided The Tomb away*

Guy Who Raided The Tomb: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I DON'T DESERVE THIS! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *voice fades away*

Atemu: *sighs* That was.. Boring.

Seto: >_>

Atemu: Er.. Well, it's not like you guys didn't work well! I'm just saying weak Ka are boring.

All 7 Priests: *nod in agreement, then turn away*

Kalim: I just realized I forgot to weigh his evil.. ......

**The other Priests glare evilly at Kalim.**

Kalim: .....

Atemu: It's okay, Priest Kalim. You tried. 'Idiot..'

Kalim: So I won't be punished? ^_^

Atemu: No. 'I should punish him for the heck of it..'

Seto: Mahaado, aren't YOUR guards in charge of protecting the Valley of the Kings from intruders?

Mahaado: ....Yes.. *kneels before Atemu* Great Pharaoh! ..I wish for permission to establish more guards at the Valley of the Kings.

Atemu: Go ahead, Mahaado.

Mahaado: *stands up and nods* I'll get right to work.

Seto: 'He BETTER get right to work, or the tomb robber who raided Pharaoh Akenamkhanen's tomb will only go back to the Valley of the Kings for more treasures!'

Atemu: Siamun.. I thought you told me my father's tomb had the greatest traps you could think of in it. How did the thief escape?

Siamun: This particular thief must have been quite clever to invade Akenamkhanen's tomb without harm.. But don't worry, my lord! I'm sure Priest Mahaado will transport the mummy to a far safer area in the Valley!


***Outside of the Palace***

Royal Guard: Halt! *points his spear at an intruder* Who are you?

Person: I have some business with the Pharaoh to take care of.

Other Royal Guard: We cannot let you pass until we know your name.

Person: I'm the King of Thieves from Kul Elna, Bakura!

Royal Guard: *whispers to Other Royal Guard* Did he just say Kul Elna?

Other Royal Guard: *silent* ...

Bakura: *pushes the two Royal Guards aside* You two are in my way. *walks inside the Palace*


***Back Inside the Palace***


Isis: *Sennen Necklace glows* Pharaoh!

Atemu: What is it, Isis?

Isis: A man is approaching this palace..

Akunadin: ..?

Isis: ..A man with great powers of Heka!

Nefertiti: 'Great powers of Heka?' Sister, when is this man arriving?

Isis: Within 1 minute.

Everyone Else in the Room: O_o 1 MINUTE?!

Siamun: *screams like a girl, then runs across the Palace* EEEEEEEEEEK!

Atemu: *covers his ears* MAHAADO! SHUT HIM UP!

Mahaado: *stands in Siamun's way, stuffing an apple in his mouth*

Siamun: *muffled yelling, cursing* Mmmmmffft! Fffffffk!!

Mahaado: The deed is done.

**The Priests and Atemu sigh in relief**

Seto: Now, back to the guy coming to the Palace in now less than 20 seconds.. Do you know what he looks like?

Isis: No. My visions normally don't include a crystal clear image..

Seto: >_> Why don't they?!

Isis: They just DON'T. The Sennen Necklace isn't that powerful.

Akunadin: Leave the poor woman alone, Seto. If you were a Seer like her and Nefertiti, you wouldn't be able to see much either!

Seto: Yes, Master Akunadin.. ......

Atemu: Hey, who's that? *looks at some guy in the doorway*

Isis: That's the intruder! O_O

Nefertiti: The intruder.. He doesn't look that bad.

Isis: Don't judge a book by its cover, Sister.

Nefertiti: <_< Well I can't even SEE the book's cover at the moment! It's a mere shadow!

Isis: Wait until he steps into the light..

Royal Guard: *falls face-down onto the floor* Ph..Pharaoh.. X_x

Seto: o_O Isn't that one of the two Guards?

Atemu: o_o;

Shadowy Figure: Hello, Pharaoh..

Atemu: Who are you?!

Seto: How DARE you step into the Great Pharaoh's Palace without permission! *points the Sennen Rod at Shadowy Figure*

Royal Guard: ..This man.... ...Says.. He's from.. Kul.. Elna.. *faints*

Akunadin: 'Kul Elna?!?'

Mahaado: Kul Elna, eh? *rubs his chin* ...I haven't heard of a "Kul Elna" before. Is that a food dish?

Akunadin: *turns to Mahaado* No.. It's a destroyed village.

Mahaado: Oh...

Seto: Show yourself, Intruder!

**Shadowy Figure takes a few steps forward and is revealed..**

Atemu: o__O Who IS that guy? And why does he look like he's 50 years old?

Formerly Shadowy Figure: >__> I'M NOT 50!

Atemu: Then why's your hair WHITE?

Formerly Shadowy Figure: -____________- Why do you think, Pharaoh?

Atemu: Uh... ....It was snowing! On your head!

Formerly Shadowy Figure: T_T;

Atemu: ..Er.. Your parents had white hair!

Formerly Shadowy Figure: One of them, yes. *ahem* To get to the point.. My name is Bakura. And I'm here for your Sennen Items.

**The Priests shake their heads and begin shouting randomly at each other about the Sennen Items and Bakura**

Atemu: SILENCE!

**The Priests Shut Up**

Bakura: I'll ask you once nicely.. Give me the Sennen Items. All of them.

Atemu: o_O

Kalim: Are you INSANE? We will NEVER hand them over to someone like you!

Bakura: Fine, I guess I'll just have to pay you. *drops a large sack* Here. You can have ALL of these pretty little toys! Free of charge. Just give me the Items.

Siamun: Those "toys".. Are from the former Pharaoh's tomb! O_O You must be the tomb robber who got away!

Bakura: That's me! ^_^

Siamun: *glares evilly at Bakura* You won't get away this time! You shall be punished!!

Bakura: Pfft! Don't make me laugh. *steps forward to reveal a sarcophagus* How about this? I'll give you the old man's coffin-thing, too.

Atemu, Mahaado, and Siamun: O_O Akenamkhanen's sarcophagus!

Bakura: *looks at the sarcophagus* That's what it's called? A sarcophagus? ...Eh.

Isis: We reject these "offers" of yours, Tomb Robber!

Bakura: Hmph.. Who are YOU? Their maid?

Isis: <_< I'M NOT A MAID! I'M THE SEER!!

Nefertiti: >_> What about ME, Sister? I'm a Seer, too!

Bakura: Is she your assistant maid?

Isis and Nefertiti: WE'RE SEERS!! <_<

Bakura: *shrugs* Seers, maids.. Same thing.

Isis: *turns red with anger* You.. Little... BRAT...!

Bakura: *squints eyes* What.. Did you just call me?

Nefertiti: *pushes Isis out of the way* She didn't call you anything! ^_^;;

Akunadin: Yes, Tomb Robber.. She said nothing.

Bakura: ..You. The one who said that "Seer" woman didn't say anything. What is your name?

Nefertiti: Er.. Nefertiti Ishtar..

Bakura: That's a nice name.

Nefertiti: ^^; I've never considered my name to be a good one..

Seto: He's just trying to stall us with flattery! Master Akunadin! Shada! What do you sense in this man, anyway?!

Shada: *Sennen Key glows* ..A heart of pure evil..

Seto: What about his Ka?

Shada: *attempts to look into Bakura's heart to see the Ka* .... O_O *gasps and stops*..The Ka.. Is far too powerful.. For that Sealing Stone we have..

Seto: WHAT?

Akunadin: Sennen Eye, show the Ka to all of us!

Bakura: *grins evilly* You WILL regret that.

**Bakura's Ka emerges**

Bakura: Behold.. My Ka! Diabound!

Diabound: *The snake at the end of its tail hisses*

Isis, Nefertiti, Seto, Mahaado, and Akunadin: *look up at Diabound*

Nefertiti: It's incredible..

Seto: Holy crap! O_O

Akunadin: 'This man is a survivor from Kul Elna! And he's got the Ka to prove it!' O_o

Bakura: Not only have I come here for the Items.. But I'm also here to seek REVENGE against YOU, Pharaoh!

Atemu: Revenge? For what?

Bakura: *shouts angrily* For destroying my village as a child!!

Nefertiti: *looks at Bakura* 'Destroying his village?' .....

Seto: The Pharaoh has NEVER destroyed a single village in his life!

Akunadin: ....

Kalim: Priest Seto is right. We haven't even heard of this so-called village before!

Bakura: Kul Elna was my home and a fine village. Pharaoh Akenamkhanen sent the Imperial Army to destroy it for his own personal gain!

Atemu: You lie.

Bakura: Apparently, you don't know how the Sennen Items were created, Pharaoh..

Akunadin: o_o;; ...

Atemu: ?_?

Bakura: Your stupid father created the Sennen Items by sacrificing my people! He threw them into a boiling cauldron! He killed them all, including my family!

Atemu: You must be mistaking him for someone else. My father would never do such a thing!

Bakura: The only thing I remember from that night was death.. And 4 outsider children who helped me to safety.. I haven't seen them since.

Atemu: .... I'm still not convinced, Bakura.

Bakura: Then maybe my Diabound will knock some sense into you! Diabound, Spiral Wave!

Diabound: *aims a Spiral Wave at Atemu*

Atemu: O__O

Seto: Duos, defend!

**Duos is attacked by Diabound's Spiral Wave instead**

Bakura: >_> I suggest not to get in the way, Priest..

Seto: I don't listen to filthy thieves! *rubs his neck*

Bakura: >_>;; FILTHY THIEF, eh?!

Seto: Er.. o_o; I mean.. Uh...

Bakura: Diabound, kill that man!

Diabound: *constricts Seto with its snake-tail*

Seto: *turns blue, then purple* Get it.. Away.. >__<;;

Atemu: Priest Seto's entertaining us by changing colors! ^_^

Akunadin: ...... *summons his Ka, Gadius* ..Gadius, help Seto!

Gadius: *attacks the snake-tail*

Diabound: *hisses in pain and lets go of Seto*

Bakura: >_< *flinches* That was a lucky shot, old man!

Isis: Spiria, I summon you!

Nefertiti: Seiyaryu!

Kalim: Chimera, the Flying Mythical Beast!

Mahaado: Magus of Illusion, come forth!

Shada: Zerua!

**All the Priests now have their Ka summoned**

Bakura: Your Ka are no match for Diabound..

Shada: That Demon of yours will be destroyed, Bakura!

Bakura: It isn't a Demon! It's a GOD!

Shada: .....

Siamun: o_O How's that possible?

Bakura: Diabound, kill them all!

**Diabound disposes of Kalim, Akunadin, Shada, and Isis's Ka**

Atemu: Don't give up! It's only one Ka against three!

Nefertiti: 'Diabound is too powerful.. It will destroy us all!' Seiyaryu, fly above Diabound!

Seiyaryu: *flies right above Diabound*

Nefertiti: Heaven's Deadlock!

Seiyaryu: *circles Diabound, then fires a powerful beam at it*

Bakura: That silly attack won't do a thing.

**The beam from Heaven's Deadlock becomes a string of chains where Seiyaryu flew**

Bakura: o_O Chains?

Diabound: *struggles in the chains* ....Rrrrg..

Seto: Good job, Priestess!

Nefertiti: ....

Seto: Duos, Aura Sword!

Duos: *charges its sword for an attack*

Bakura: Diabound, break the chains!

Diabound: *blows away the chains with Spiral Wave and dodges the Aura Sword*

Seto and Nefertiti: O_O;

Seto: Mahaado! Have you tried the Magus of Illusion yet?

Mahaado: *glances at his Ka* ..No, I haven't.. But I'm trying it right now! Magus of Illusion! Spellbinding Phantasm!

Magus of Illusion: *floats at eye level with Diabound, chanting* Hmshkaemaren.. Hmshkaemaren.. A-kaa Ra... *summons a large circle of energy* ..Kameranen! *Traps Diabound in the circle*

Diabound: ??? *can't move, confused* Rrrrrrwg!

Bakura: o_o What was that?

Mahaado: That, Tomb Robber, was my Ka's special ability- Spellbinding Phantasm!

Bakura: It won't be of use for too long.. *stomps on the sarcophagus* ..Diabound will break free eventually, just as it did with the beam-of-chains trick the little dragon pulled..

Nefertiti: *glares at Bakura* Your Ka can't escape!

Bakura: And who told you that? Your imagination? Or your pathetic "visions"?

Nefertiti: Mahaado's Magus of Illusion is a powerful Ka. Its abilities won't be stopped by a phony God! ..And my visions aren't pathetic! <_<

Bakura: Hm.. We'll see about that. Your puny dragon looks like it isn't doing much-- Why not give it some exercise? Attack me!

Mahaado: Don't do it, Nefertiti! He's trying to trick you!

Nefertiti: *quickly turns to Mahaado, then Bakura* Shut up, Mahaado! Seiyaryu, show him you're not to be messed with! Aurora Shockwave!

Seiyaryu: *Flaps its wings in preparation for attack*

Bakura: *looks up at Seiyaryu and smirks* Heh.. You won't let anyone help you.. I like that.

Nefertiti: ...? Really?

Mahaado: *puts his hand to his face* Ugh.. She's not listening to me..

Seto: What do you think you're DOING, Nefertiti?! Finish him off! Snap Diabound in two! Do something, but don't stand there like an idiot!!

Nefertiti: *shakes her head quickly* Right.. Back to destroying you. Seiyaryu, fire!

Seiyaryu: *flaps its wings one last time to launch the attack*

**The Aurora Shockwave goes in the direction of Bakura and Diabound, causing a billowing cloud of smoke on impact**

Nefertiti: How's that for an attack? *crosses her arms*

Isis: Er.. Where's Diabound?

Nefertiti: ? *looks around* Huh?

Seto: >_< You fool! The Aurora Shockwave didn't do a thing! Diabound isn't even HERE!

Mahaado: But.. Diabound was trapped by Spellbinding Phantasm! It isn't capable of moving anywhere!

Bakura: Whoever said Diabound couldn't move?

**Diabound reappears behind Nefertiti and Seto**

Seto: I sense something..

Bakura: Diabound was freed from Spellbinding Phantasm a long time ago! In fact.. Look behind you!

**Seto and Nefertiti turn around..**

Nefertiti: O_O Diabound!?

Seto: But how?!?

Bakura: Diabound has the ability to blend with its surroundings.. It was completely invisible!

Isis: Watch out! It's going to attack!

Diabound: Rrrrwag! *Burst Stream!*

Seto: That attack.. It isn't coming toward us at all.. It's ABOVE us...

Nefertiti: Seiyaryu? Seiyaryu!

**Seiyaryu is gone!**

Nefertiti: Where's Seiyaryu?!

Bakura: Oh, you mean THAT? *motions to Seiyaryu* It's the target for Diabound's Burst Stream!

Nefertiti: O___O

Atemu: NO!

Bakura: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ^_^ After this attack, you'll be begging for mercy before me!

Atemu: Not if I can help it!

Siamun: ..My Lord.. You can't be serious.. Are you.. SUMMONING a monster?

Atemu: *raises his fist* ..God of the Obelisk! I summon thee!

**The Priests and Bakura avert their gaze to Atemu**

Isis: What did he just say..?

Akunadin: ........! 'That must be the name of one of the 3 Gods!'

Siamun: 'Pharaoh Akhenamkhanen's son.. Is the Chosen One.. The one Pharaoh that knows the names of the 3 Egyptian Gods!'

**A large, blue monster appears**

Atemu: Behold, Bakura.. The God of the Obelisk!

Bakura: *stares at Obelisk* This can't be.. That isn't... ..Is that an Egyptian God?! O_O;;

Seto: Wow...

Isis: Amazing..

Nefertiti: 'It looks like Bakura won't be living for long..' ....

Atemu: God Hand Crusher!

**Obelisk's fist glows**

Bakura: There's nothing you can do to save your Seer! Diabound's attack was already called!

Atemu: *eyes widen* WHAT?

Obelisk: *attempts to attack Bakura directly*

Akunadin: Great Pharaoh! Bakura's disappeared with Diabound! O_O

Obelisk: *makes a hole in the wall with its attack* ...

Atemu: *slams his fists on the throne* IMPOSSIBLE! How did Bakura disappear so quickly?!

Akunadin: *throws his head back to search for Seiyaryu* The Burst Stream! It's been launched by Diabound!

Bakura: *appears in front of Atemu* Oh well.. Accidents happen, Pharaoh.

Atemu: What are you talking about?!?

Bakura: Your Seer's death.

Atemu: O__O You can't be serious!

Bakura: Technically.. I'm not. But she'll be dead soon enough. *points up* See?

Atemu: Diabound..! 'There must be something I can do..'

Bakura: Give me the items now.. And I'll call off the attack!

Atemu: *stares at Bakura for a long moment* ..Never.

Bakura: T_T You'll pay for what you just said.. With Nefertiti Ishtar's life!

Atemu: O_o

Bakura: Diabound, finish it!

**Diabound's Burst Stream scores a direct hit on Seiyaryu**

Seiyaryu: *falls to the floor of the Palace, followed by a dust cloud from the fall*

Atemu: O_______O Nefertiti!

**Seto, Akunadin, Kalim, Shada, and Mahaado gasp**

Isis: *stifles a sob* ..Sister.. *falls to her knees* ..Why?

Bakura: *grins evilly* It's over for her.

**The dust cloud dissapates..**

Bakura: *the grin turns to a look of despair* ...!! She's ALIVE?! O_O

Isis: She is?

Seto: *looks at Nefertiti* .....

Nefertiti: *sits up* What happened? Am I dead?

Bakura: ............... .....................................

Isis: No.

Mahaado: You're alive! ^_^ *does the Happy Dance*

Akunadin: Dear Ra... You survived Diabound's Burst Stream!

***Nefertiti's Ba Meter***

( **-------- )

***Bakura's Ba Meter***

( *********- )

***Atemu's Ba Meter***

( ****------)

***Akunadin's Ba Meter***

( ******---- )

***You Get The Point***



Bakura: There's no way you could've survived that attack.. o_o

Nefertiti: *rises to her feet* So I'm not dead?

**Atemu, Siamun and the Priests shake their heads**

Nefertiti: ^_^; Great..

Seiyaryu: Caaaaw..

Nefertiti: Seiyaryu, come back.

**Seiyaryu returns to Nefertiti's soul**

Bakura: A wise decision, Nefertiti.. *summons Diabound to his side* Pharaoh.. Seeing how you KNEW the attack would be defective in murdering your Seer, I----

Nefertiti: Bakura!

Bakura: Huh? *looks behind him* O__O

AAAAAAAAAGH!

**Bakura is hurled across the room, finally stopping after hitting the wall**

Nefertiti: ....Obelisk?

Atemu: ^_^ I love sneak attacks!

**Everyone (except Bakura) stares at the Pharaoh in shock**

Seto: I can't believe you pulled it off, My Lord! ^___^ Unless my eyes are deceiving me, you killed the Tomb Robber!

Nefertiti: Killed? *glances at Bakura's body, half covered in rubble from the wall* ...

Akunadin: What? You're not satisfied? We sure are! ^_^

Mahaado: Let's party! ^_~ Long Live the Pharaoh!

Atemu: *smiles at Mahaado's praise*

Bakura: Why would you have a party without inviting ME, the Guest of Honor?

Kalim: That didn't sound good..

Mahaado: The Tomb Robber cheated death? O_o

Bakura: *emerges from the rubble* Yes.. Now, you said something about a party?

Atemu: o_o; ...

***Bakura's Ba Meter***

( ***------- )


*********


Bakura: Anyway, Pharaoh.. I'm leaving. I'll come back to KILL YOU ALL later! *escapes through the wall with Diabound* Farewell, fools.. FWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Mahaado: That was odd..

Atemu: I want that Tomb Robber captured- dead or alive!

Seto: Yes, Pharaoh! We're on it! *heads for the stables*

Akunadin, Kalim and Shada: *follow Seto*

Seto: I have a plan.

Akunadin: And what would that be?

Seto: We can harness the dark Ka of townspeople and raise them to become an all-powerful army, strong enough to destroy the Tomb Robber's Ka!

Akunadin: *quickly changes his expression* That's ABSURD! You can't just round up a bunch of innocent people and use them for an army to stop a nearly undefeatable nemesis!

Seto: *casts a suspicious glance* Why do you say that, Master Akunadin?

Akunadin: Er.. No reason! I'm just saying.. I think this "Diabound" is truly a God.. And cannot be stopped by even the most powerful, 100-Ka army of Demons!

Seto: ....

Shada: Why don't we strengthen our own Ka instead?

Seto: Nah. I'm hungry now. I wanna go to the Nile for a drink.. And some snacks. *hops on a dark brown stallion* Are you coming with me or not?

Shada, Kalim and Akunadin: *look at each other, nod in agreement, and mount their own horses*

Seto: To the Nile! ^_^ *kicks his horse*

Horse: *whinnies and begins to gallop into the desert*

**The others follow Seto's lead**

Nefertiti: *pokes her head out the door* Where'd they go?

Isis: To the Nile. *turns to Nefertiti* Let's follow them! ^_~

Nefertiti: Why?

Isis: So I can talk to Seto alone.. *sighs*.. ..Er.. And so you can do something creative instead of sit in your room all day! ^_^;; In fact, you can take the Necklace. It's your turn now anyway. *takes off the Sennen Necklace and places it on her sister's neck*

Nefertiti: ..If you insist, I'll come.

Isis: ^__^ Yay! *runs off to the stables, dragging Nefertiti behind her*

Siamun: *stops Isis* Where do you think you're going?

Isis: To the Nile.. For a drink.

Siamun: We have plenty of water in the kitchen.

Isis: Um.. We're going there to.. Uh..

Nefertiti: Get some fresh air.

Isis: Yeah! ^^;; What she said!

Siamun: Hmph.. Fine. But don't be long! *walks away, back to the Palace*

Isis: Thanks for the save, Sister..

Nefertiti: *shrugs* It was nothing. *gets on her horse, which is also a boring brown* Come on, we have to catch up to them!

Isis: *nods* Right! *gallops out of the stable with.. another brown horse* Hurry up! ^_^

Nefertiti: *increases her horse's speed* Don't worry. We'll be at the Nile in 15 minutes, no later, no less.


***21 Literal Minutes Later***


Isis: We're here.. 6 minutes late. <_<;

Nefertiti: ... *trots to a nearby palm tree* My mare and I will go exploring.. You can go talk to your boyfriend.

Isis: *blushes* O_O; He's not my boyfriend! <_>

Nefertiti: Uh-huh.. Right. *rides away*

Isis: *about to shout after her, but stops to look for Seto* I wonder where he could be..

Nefertiti: *stops at a very nice, shady spot at the Nile, with a weird waterfall that shouldn't be there, small green vegetation, and rocks.. Plenty of rocks.* That's odd.. I've never seen this part of the Nile before. *gets off her horse* It almost looks unreal..

Bakura: *relaxing on a stone slab shaded by actual freaking TREES! o_O* Ah.. This day couldn't get any better! First I conjure up this hidden paradise.. Then I almost succeed in killing off the Pharaoh and his pathetic disciples.. And finally.. I think I found the children who helped me escape from Kul Elna all those years ago.

Diabound: *close by, sleeping* Zzzzz..

Bakura: *glares at Diabound* Some friend you are! *takes off his robe, setting it on the slab* I'm going to cool off. *walks down a path of.. you guessed it, rocks!* I love this place! ^__^ *jumps into the water, causing water to splash onto Nefertiti*

Nefertiti: o_O What the..? *rubs her eyes* Where'd that water come from? *looks behind her* Mana? Was that you?! >_> <_<

Bakura: *surfaces quietly* 'Who was that? And how did they find my new hideout?!'

Nefertiti: *gazes into the water* So.. Thirsty... 'I'll get whoever splashed me later.'

Bakura: *spots Nefertiti* O___O;; 'NEFERTITI?!'

Nefertiti: *sits down, drinking handfuls of water from the strangely decorated Nile River* This water tastes wonderful.. Far better than the Nile's waters.. Wait a minute! o_o Better than the Nile's waters? That doesn't make sense.. *scans the area* Maybe if I find someone from around here, they can tell me what this place really is..

Bakura: *appears in front of Nefertiti* What do you think you're doing in my formerly secret hideout?

Nefertiti: o_______o; *glances at the reflection in the water, slowly turning her head* ..BAKURA! O_O

Bakura: Duh.

Nefertiti: Bakura.. How did you revive from the God of Obelisk's attack so quickly?

Bakura: I didn't. *reveals 2 bandages wrapped around his arms, a 3rd on his right leg, and dried blood on his face* I still haven't gotten to the rest of the injuries.

Nefertiti: You look terrible..

Bakura: *sarcastic* Ooooh, does a great Seer with a stupid dragon for a Ka actually care for a "filthy thief" like me?

Nefertiti: No! >_> But still.. You are in pretty bad shape.

Bakura: Who cares. *splashes his face with water* ..By the way.. Why don't you stay here for a few hours?

Nefertiti: No way! Isis will be worried about me!

Bakura: Would you rather keep your sister happy or that golden trinket on your neck? T_T

Nefertiti: *touches the Sennen Necklace* ..Well..

Bakura: *grows impatient* 'Hurry and accept the offer, damn it!'

Nefertiti: As long as it's only a few hours.

Bakura: *bows his head* You made the right choice.

Nefertiti: .......'Why do I have a bad feeling about this?'

Bakura: *gets out of the water and stops to dry on one of the many human-sized rocks in the area* To answer your previous question.. The water tastes "better than the Nile's" because of Diabound. It created everything you see right now!

Nefertiti: *glances at the shaded spot Diabound is sleeping in* Incredible....

Bakura: Now to get to my deman---.. I mean.. Your chores. If you want to keep your Sennen Item, you need to do a few!

Nefertiti: I don't remember chores being a part of this..

Bakura: Would you rather work or die right now? >_>

Nefertiti: .....

Bakura: Your first task is to go to the purest part of the Nile and fetch me a drink.

Nefertiti: Why? The water surrounding you is better!

Bakura: I don't like this water. Now go!

Nefertiti: ...Fine... *about to mount her horse, but..*

Bakura: Hold it! What do you think you're doing?

Nefertiti: I'm going to ride to the purest part of the Nile, just as you said.

Bakura: I never mentioned horses! No horse-riding allowed. You're going on foot.

Nefertiti: o_O But.. It's so far away!

Bakura: *in a mocking voice* Oh, it's sooo far! I'll collapse if I have to walk more than a mile! The horror of it all! *Returns to his normal voice* ..The longer you stay here complaining, the more work you must do. Hurry and leave before I think of more chores to add on!

Nefertiti: *gets off her horse and heads for the "Purest Part of the Nile" on foot, mumbling*


***Purest Part of the Nile, 4:00 PM***


Isis: Are you trying to tell me Seto's plan isn't going to work?

Akunadin: I'm afraid it won't. Even if the most powerful villager's Ka in Egypt was to be used, it wouldn't be able to defeat the Tomb Robber's Diabound!

Isis: I see.. How do you know so much about Diabound's power?

Akunadin: o_o Uh.. I'm making many educated guesses. Too many to count. It's a part of.. Er.. The Sennen Eye's abilities! It allows me to make countless educated guesses without being wrong.

Isis: That's amazing! ^_^

Akunadin: *laughs nervously* Yes, quite amazing indeed.. *coughs*

Isis: *squints at a far-off figure* Hey.. That looks like Sister!

Seto: *playing Checkers with Kalim* King me!

Kalim: ..Doesn't this game exist in the future?

Seto: Yeah, but.. Uh.. Somebody from 2082 A.D. teleported it here. I read it in the news!

Kalim: We don't have newspapers..

Seto: .... ..The Pharaoh told me!

Kalim: Of course! *nods in agreement*

Isis: 'Why is Nefertiti here? I thought she was out exploring the land..'

**12 minutes later**

Seto: I WIN! Hand over the fork, Kalim!

Kalim: But it's too shiny! It has 3 prongs! It's from the future! Please let me keep it! <_>

Seto: No! It was a bet. Gimme the fork!

Kalim: How do YOU know its name, anyway?

Seto: ........ The Pharaoh told me!

Kalim: Ah... *agrees*

Seto: *takes the fork from Kalim* Yay, it's finally mine! ^_^

Kalim: Aww.. I wanted it..

Seto: Oh well. You can have it when I get bored of it!

Kalim: ^_^

Nefertiti: *stops and sits in front of the Nile, catching her breath* Isis.. This is the.. Purest part of the Nile.. Right?

Isis: Yup! That's why we're here!

Nefertiti: *takes out a small jar and dips it into the river, then stands up* I'll see you later.. *leaves*

Isis: *blinks, confused* 'What was that all about?'

Akunadin: Since when did Priestesses walk on foot?

Isis: >_> Are you calling Priestesses lazy!?

Akunadin: No, of course not! I'm just saying, it isn't that often one of the High Priests OR Priestesses walks from one section of the Nile to the other without a horse!

Isis: ...'Is Nefertiti hiding something...?'

*******************

-Narrator POV-

Akunadin, Seto, Shada (who inconveniently had no dialogue near the end..), Kalim and Isis couldn't help but wonder- Why was Nefertiti walking on foot? What's a checkerboard doing in Ancient Egypt? Where did the Tomb Robber go? Why am I saying all this when you already know what's going to happen? Stay tuned for..
