Okay, the prologue takes place in Ancient Egypt, and the rest is in modern day Britain/Japan, but with many references and possibly flashbacks to what happened in the past. So here is a list of what the characters names were in Egypt, just in case there's any confusion:
*Yami Yugi (pharaoh): Nahket (I think I've heard this name used before, but I don't know where....but it is in fact an ancient Egyptian name, I found it on some website...)
*Seto (high priest): Setekh
*Ryou's Yami (my OC & tomb robber): Kanika (which means 'black' or 'dark' so I thought it fit! ^_^)
*Bakura (tomb robber): Bakari
*Yami Malik (tomb robber): Mariku
*My OC's brother: Kontar (He's only in the prologue though...)

~Prologue~
Long ago, in the time of the ancient Egyptians, there was a little girl named Kanika. Her mother and father were peasants, but wealthy enough to avoid becoming the pharaoh's slaves. There was something very strange about this girl, however. She looked nothing like her parents, nor her older brother Kontar. They had the typical Egyptian features, dark skin, black hair and dark eyes. The little girl was almost the opposite. Her skin was very pale, a milky white, and her hair was silvery white as well. Her eyes were the only feature she had in common with her kin, they were a dark chocolately brown.
So because of her striking and very strange appearance, her parents wisely kept her covered and hidden, realizing that others might take advantage of her, and that possibly the pharaoh might even take such a rare beauty to be his or his young son's pleasure slave.
So up to the age of ten, Kanika led a fairly typical, happy life, but unfortunately, things were about to change. Shortly after her tenth birthday, her parents fell ill from some strange sickness that had been spreading across the city. They died shortly, and Kontar, now 13, was forced to take his sister and leave their home, for thieves and the other evil that dwelled in the poorer part of Egypt were soon trying to take advantage of the two. They lived in the streets, and in abandoned buildings, and soon both picked up the skills necessary to survive in such a manner: stealing, evading palace guards and street merchants, and sometimes even killing.
By the time Kanika was fourteen, her brother 17, the pair had developed the perfect way to make a comfortable living. Kanika, using her exotic looks, would lure some fool with a pouch full of money to some remote location. But instead of getting what he expected, he would instead come face to face with Kontar's blade. This worked unbelievable well for quite a while, allowing them to have a house and live pleasantly, until tragedy struck once again.
When Kanika was fifteen, she and her brother were caught for the first time. They made the mistake of trying to rob a palace guard, who was wearing a hidden sword, and he easily overpowered the two young ones. Thanks to Kontar, Kanika managed to escape but he didn't. Whether he was taken to the dungeons or killed, she never knew, but she never saw her brother again.
So Kanika was all alone for the first time in her life. She still was able to steal and survive without being caught, until she met a most unusual person. She was wandering the streets, looking for her next victim, when she spotted a cloaked individual. A large hood covered his face and hair, and normally Kanika would have passed him off as a simple peasant, but the cloak was made of very fine material. She decided that even if he didn't have much money, she would very much like that cloak for herself.
So she threw back her hood and started her routine seduction. She whispered to the man to follow her, and he did, but when she pulled her dagger to finish him off, he pulled one of his own. She was shocked, and because of his superior strength, she was soon at his mercy. But an even greater shock came when the man pulled his own hood back. He was just a boy, and he looked almost exactly like her. He had the same pale skin and hair and dark eyes, the only real differences being that he was male and maybe a year or two older than she was.
After the shock wore off, Kanika discovered that this boy was a thief as well, and had been watching her for quite some time. His name was Bakari and he never knew his parents. Were they related? Quite possibly, but they had no way of knowing if they really were or not. Bakari had also spent much of his life covered up and in hiding, for men wanted the exotic boy just as much as they wanted the exotic girl.
Anyway, Kanika and Bakari worked together, much as she had with her brother earlier, but there was one major difference. The pair eventually became lovers. Kanika, even though she had always played the part of the whore since a very young age, was still completely innocent, and Bakari was more than willing to teach her to make love. This would become, for both of them, the deepest love they would know in this lifetime.
After a couple years of bliss, a new person joined the picture: Mariku. The couple had met him in the same they had met each other, they basically tried to rob him. Mariku was taller and older than both of the other two and much stronger so he easily overpowered them. He was very stunning in his own way, with his sun-bleached hair and lavender eyes, and both Kanika and Bakari fell hard for him. They joined forces and Mariku brought a new concept to the white-haired pair. He was the one who introduced them to tomb robbing.
They lived together for a while, in the house that Kanika had lived with her brother, and all three eventually became lovers. First it was Mariku and Kanika who were together, and then Mariku and Bakari. The bond between the white-haired pair and Mariku would never grow as strong as the one they had with each other, however.
During their time together, the three shifted from mugging and simple thievery, to tomb robbing, which was much more dangerous, yet also much more rewarding. Their method was very similar to their earlier ones in the city. First Kanika would seduce the guards, then when they were least expecting it, Bakari and Mariku would strike. They would take all the gold and jewels they could carry, and sell it quite easily in the market.
Eventually the trio became one of the most feared in Egypt. They left no witnesses and there was no pattern to their attacks. Plus no one would ever expect a woman to be part of a gang of tomb robbers. They were incredibly clever and elusive, no one ever could seem to catch them, or even describe them.
Things changed though, when Kanika turned 18. the old pharaoh of Egypt died, leaving the throne to his young son, Prince Nahket. He was a striking young man of 18 and had spiky tri-colored hair and fiery crimson eyes. He was much more intelligent and intuitive than his elderly father and was very determined to catch the raiders that were breaking into the tombs of his relatives. And so when his father was placed in his own tomb, he stationed guards inside, as well as at the entrance, and in many other strategic locations, wanting to be sure that his father's grave would be untouched.
This information was unknown to Kanika and the others, so when they attacked that tomb, eager for the large amount of wealth inside, the three had much more to deal with than what they had expected. Once they had taken care of many of the guards, they proceeded to take what they could, and then ran. Kanika had found a most unusual treasure. It was a golden ring with a pyramid inside, with the eye of Ra upon it. She, for some reason, felt very drawn to it, and took it with her when they ran.
Once the trio reached their home, they thought they were safe, but how wrong they were. A couple of guards had watched them inside the tomb, and then followed them home. Later in the day, Pharaoh Nahket sent a small army to capture them. Luckily for Mariku, he wasn't around when they arrived, and therefore escaped capture. Kanika, seeing them coming, ran outside and threw the ring she had found in some of the foliage surrounding the place. For some reason, she couldn't bear the thought of letting it fall into the hands of someone else.
Bakari and Kanika were captured. The guards searched the area, retrieving all the stolen treasure, but somehow they missed the golden ring. It remained in the bushes, discovered by no one.
The white-haired pair were brought before the pharaoh to receive their punishment. Kanika noticed he was wearing a pyramid shaped puzzle with a marking of an eye similar to the ring she found, but that was soon to be the last of her thoughts. The pharaoh declared that Bakari would be put to death, but Kanika, being but a 'helpless' woman, would be his personal slave. Kanika kicked and screamed and fought, trying to prove that she was no more innocent than the boy was, but to no avail.
Bakari was beheaded and his lover was forced to watch. And if that wasn't punishment enough, Kanika was then made to be the pharaoh's personal pleasure slave. Nahket thought she was gorgeous and that was the true reason why she wasn't put to death as well. So she endured night after night of very unpleasant sex with the one man that she hated with a passion. The murderer of her lover, and probably her brother as well. But she could do nothing of her predicament and so she just took it.
Pharaoh Nahket wasn't immune, however, to life's problems and he had a major one himself. His high priest Setekh, owner of a rod with the eye marking on it, was his sworn rival and enemy, wanting to take the throne for himself. Kanika heard about this during her stay in the palace, but she didn't care. She actually hoped Setekh would kill Nahket and take over, for anyone would be better than the pharaoh whom she despised. She saw Setekh once, when he was visiting the palace. He had cold icy-blue eyes and dark hair. His skin was very pale though, and Kanika actually thought he was very beautiful. She'd much rather be his slave than the evil pharaoh's.
One day, after quite a long stay in the palace, Kanika found the opportunity to escape. Setekh had entered the palace and demanded to see Nahket, so guards and servants alike were in an uproar. She easily slipped out, for she was the last of their worries, and made her way back to the house she called home for many years.
When she arrived, she found the place completely empty, Mariku nowhere to be seen. This aroused her curiosity. During her time at the palace she had often wondered what had become of the blond. She had even become rather suspicious. How did he know to leave when he did? And why would he have never returned? Even if she had found him again, she would definitely never trust him again. What if he had taken a part in the capture that led to Bakari's death? Tears came to her eyes and she shook her head, clearing her thoughts.
She absentmindedly went around to the back of the house. Remembering her actions the day she was captured, she dug around in the bushes and found the ring she had so desperately thrown. She reached for it, but the moment it came into contact with her skin, she blacked out.
~~~~~
Kanika came to a while later, feeling very strange. Realizing she was no longer outside, she looked about the room she was in. It was dark with candles all about, and a bed, which she was lying on, and a few Egyptian decorations, not much different from the ones that were in Bakari's and her old room. She rubbed her head and glanced around again. There was no door. She jumped up, eyes darting about desperately, but there was no way out. No windows. Nothing. She was about to start panicking, when some pale smoke filled a corner of the room and a man appeared.
She gasped. The man was wearing white robes and a turban over his dark hair. He opened his eyes and fixed them on her, "Hello Kanika."
She cried out and backed away, completely confused to everything that was happening, "Who are you? And where are we? And where's the fucking door?!"
The man chuckled, "I am Shadi. We are in your soul room inside the millenium ring. And there is no door because you cannot leave this room until the ring is in the hands of your soulmate, or host, whose body you will use."
She just gaped at him, not understanding. He smiled, "You see Kanika, the Pharaoh Nahket placed a spell, or curse I suppose, upon all the millenium items." Seeing her still-confused look he explained, "All the golden magical items with the eye of Ra upon them."
She nodded, remembering that Setekh and Nahket both had them as well.
He continued, "Setekh was going to take over Egypt, and only the gods know what he would do." He shuddered before going on, "So Pharaoh Nahket placed a spell upon all the items, trapping the owner within them, until it falls in the hands of their soulmate, which will probably take thousands of years. Then you all will be released once again, using them as your host. You will be their darkness, or Yami, to their light, or Hikari. I guess Nahket believed that in a few thousand years, things will be different and the danger of what Setekh would do would pass."
Kanika looked down at her hands, "Why was I trapped then?"
Shadi smirked, "Well, you did have the ring, no? Nahket cast the spell before Setekh had even reached him, so he really didn't know whose hands the items were in. He thought only of the welfare of Egypt."
Kanika nodded, looking up again, "How many items are there?"
Shadi replied, "Seven. I am the keeper of the millenium items, and I hold two myself. It is my job to make sure that the rest fall in the hands of the correct people. And some items had no owner at the time of the spell, so I must give them to whoever shows the ability to control and keep them."
Kanika looked puzzled, "Why?"
Shadi smirked, "You ask too many questions, young one. I'll tell you this, if someone controlled all seven, they would have ultimate power. That is why I must spread them out." He turned, the smoke appearing again, "Now sleep. It'll be many millennia before you'll be released.
With that, he was gone. Kanika took one more look around before a powerful drowsiness overcame her. She laid down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep, but not a pleasant one. She was plagued for 5,000 years with dreams of her parents and brother, Bakari's death, and the raping she endured for so long. Her anger and her need for revenge grew...

A/ N: Yeah, I didn't really go into much detail here, but it's basically just a summary of what happened in the past. The rest of the chapters won't be that way. And actually, thinking about it, this could stand alone as its own story if I did go into detail. Hmmmm....*shakes her head* Nope. I'm too lazy! I wanted to do the modern day one instead! Maybe eventually I'll do a prequel! ^_^
So let me know what you think! I'll update as soon as I write more! Which *hopefully* will be soon! ^_^
