Author's Notes: At first I couldn't think of what the Eye's spirit should look like. But then it hit me: Valmont! This chapter's title comes form the fact that Bakura calls Ryou "king's property," implying that he is a king. A question for you: Does Shadi ever appear again after looking in Yugi's mind? I want to do something with Malik, and maybe Isis too, but I'm not quite sure what. I don't know them very well... I came up with a way to temporarily end this, so I'll be able to do more if I think of something, but I wouldn't have to. But don't worry, it won't be for a while! I'll try to keep updating on Mondays and Thursdays until then. Oh, by the way, you guys who reviewed RULE! I love you! ^_^

Three-In-One Combo!
Shadi walked calmly through the huge castle. Ankh was leading him to the Eye. It had apparently gained some strength since his arrival, and now Ankh could feel its presence weakly right by the Ring. Shadi let Ankh lead him to another part of the castle. After walking for a while, Shadi came upon a boy with rumpled white hair and large brown eyes. He looked rather disoriented. The Millennium Ring hung around his neck and there was something round in his pocket. Shadi paused for a moment before approaching the boy.
The white-haired boy blinked in surprise at the stranger walking towards him. Shadi picked the Ankh up and pointed it towards the boy's head. This made the boy panic. "W...what are you doing? Who are you?" the boy asked, backing up a step.
//Just seeing me makes his soul tremble with fear...//
\\Or maybe he's laughing at how pathetic you are.\\
Shadi had to back the boy against a wall to get close enough to put the Ankh to his forehead. /Quickly, before he runs away./ Shadi turned the Ankh like a key and entered the boy's mind.
As in Yugi's mind, Shadi found himself in a corridor with a door on each side. But in this mind, both were closed. The one on the left was pale blue with a few marks on it as if it had taken a few hard beatings.
/This one is kind and innocent, despite some rough treatment. But the other.../ The door across the hall was dark gray with purple flecks. The image of the Eye of Horus was scratched on the door, probably with a knife.
Down at the far end of the corridor, another door was slowly appearing. It had been too faint to notice at first. It was dark gray with a gold sheen to it. The Eye of Horus was etched on it, not as nicely as the Pharaoh's door, but not as crudely as on the other dark door in this mind.
/That must be the Eye. But I suspect the one through this door, the Ring, took it./ So Shadi walked over to the door on the right. He raised his hand and was about to knock when he suddenly heard a muffled squeak, and the door behind him flew open. He paused and turned around.
The frightened brown-eyed boy stood in the other doorway. "P - please," he stammered softly. "Don't bother him..."
"One of you has stolen the Millennium Eye. I suspect it was him. I must punish him, or at least make sure the cosmic balance will be kept," Shadi said.
There was a crash and a loud string of curses from the dark room housing the Ring spirit. Shadi was a bit startled, but the boy jumped almost a meter and gave a huge shiver. He gulped. "C - come into my room before he comes out. I'm sure he knows you're here, but it's better to stay out of his way..."
Shadi frowned slightly, but he followed the boy in, while Ankh muffled Scale's derogatory comments.
The boy's soul room was pale blue all over. There were a few toys and books neatly on shelves. There was a huge overstuffed love seat in the corner with a rumpled blanket on it. There were some pictures on the walls, including a large portrait of the Change of Heart, a magic card. The carpet was blue, except for a few stains on it that looked suspiciously like blood. The ceiling looked like the same pure blue as the walls, but upon closer inspection, Shadi could see faint clouds all over it. Shadi could tell from this that although the boy put up a content image for people to see, he had many hidden troubles.
The boy carefully closed the door behind him. "My name is Ryou Bakura; you can call me Ryou."
"I am the guardian of the Millennium Items. I was called here to investigate the theft of Pegasus's Millennium Eye," Shadi began.
\\You fool, the Ring was a tomb robber in ancient times. He's always been a thief. Don't even bother with this wimp.\\
//Argh! Scale, can't you be nice even once!//
The boy's eyes had widened in surprise. "Who was that?"
"Pardon my Millennium Items. The rude one was the Scales," Shadi said, showing Scale to him, "and the other was the Ankh."
"Oh," Ryou said, looking fairly incredulous. "Um... I didn't mean to be inhospitable. They can come out if they want to."
//Really? Thank you, that's very kind of you. It's been quite a while since I came out. Shadi, you don't mind, do you?//
/...I suppose not. Do what you like. Scale, I don't suppose you'd like to join us as well?/
\\I already have to share a mind with two losers. I have no interest in sharing space with another.\\
Ryou looked hurt. The Ankh glowed and swung in a circular motion. Then Ankh appeared beside Shadi. He was about the same height was Shadi, but the similarities ended there. He had long straight light green hair and narrow but friendly green eyes. He had a green hat with the Eye of Horus at his forehead and a golden cobra embroidered on it. He wore a light green cape over a greenish yellow robe. The Millennium Ankh hung around his neck. He smiled at Ryou. "Don't listen to Scale, he says things like that all the time. Thank you very much for inviting me here. I don't remember my past name, but you can call me Ankh."
"Th - thank you. And um... you're welcome," Ryou said. Then he turned back to Shadi. "Mou hitori no boku blocked me out for a while, but I know he did take Pegasus's Millennium Eye."
Shadi blinked. "What did you say? Who, or what, blocked you?" He looked at Ankh in confusion.
Ankh frowned, thinking. "The other... you? You mean the spirit of the Ring?"
"Ah," Shadi said. "He looks just like you, then? I see. I suppose that's one way to think of it."
"I was wondering... why doesn't Ankh look like you?" Ryou asked tentatively.
Ankh laughed softly. "We all look basically the way we did in ancient Egypt. Some of the better matches look just like their hosts because you're actually descendents of them."
Ryou gulped. "The... better matches?"
"Well, most of them," Ankh said. "I'm not sure what happened with Shadi and Scale."
"He looks almost exactly like me..." Shadi muttered.
\\...To my utter disgust...\\ Scale muttered. Ankh stifled his laughter. Ryou smiled.
"I see what you mean, I guess," Ryou said.
"Yes, well... getting back to the subject, I need to speak to the spirit of the Ring about taking the Eye," Shadi said.
Ryou, who had begun to relax, paled. "You... don't want to do that..."
"I'm afraid I have no choice," Shadi said, frowning.
Just then, a door slammed outside. Three sets of eyes flew to the door. Two sets of footsteps approached. Ryou made a mad dash for the door, but he slipped and fell. As he scrambled back to his feet, the door banged open. Someone who looked like Ryou, but with narrow eyes and hair that stood up a bit more stood in the doorway smirking. Ryou whimpered almost inaudibly and backed up a step. Ankh, feeling his fear, put a protective hand on his shoulder. Shadi narrowed his eyes. This had to be the Ring's spirit. But he wasn't alone.
Another spirit stood behind the Ring's spirit. This one was a tall man with one narrow blue eye, and one golden Millennium Eye. He had long gray hair pulled back in a ponytail, with two thick clumps of bangs sticking out, framing his face. He wore a green suit with a yellow tie and black shoes. He looked rather tired. Shadi knew that this must be the spirit of the Eye.
"Well, well..." the Ring spirit said, walking in and circling around the group. "Who has invaded the king's property? Shadi and the Ankh, I see? And the Scales as well, of course. A bit crowded in here, isn't it?"
Shadi frowned at him. "You have stolen Pegasus's Millennium Eye."
"Yes, I noticed that as well," the white-haired spirit said with a cruel grin. "His host would have stopped using him anyway, having failed to achieve his idiotic goal. And I don't believe there's a thing you can do about it."
"Don't even bother," the Eye's spirit said. His voice was similar to Pegasus's, although Shadi could tell that it was only because he had lived in the man's mind for so long. "We had an agreement. I didn't want to stay with that lovesick worm."
Shadi was getting mad. "You purposefully upset your own balance!?"
The Ring and Eye spirits smiled maliciously.
"This is unforgivable," Shadi said. "I will have to judge you now." He pulled out the Scales and held them in front of himself.
"Perfect." The Ring spirit grinned.
