Chapter 1 - A Tomb Robbers Dream

(Before you read this story I have to tell you that Ryou and Bakura are two separate people and they are brothers. I'm their sister. Bakura who is the Yami is the oldest then comes me and then Ryou who is the good one. Ryou is 16 and I'm 17 and Bakura is 18 so we aren't much apart by age. Marik and his Yami are two separate people who are also brothers. Marik's Yami's name is Malik and he is 18 and Marik is 16 like Ryou. Also Yugi and Yami are brothers and Yami is 17 and Yugi is 16. This is just a warning just in case you get lost which I don't think you will. Now enjoy A Tomb Robbers Story.) One day after school Zara ran to meet up with her little brother Ryou and his friends when she saw Bakura sitting on the bench all by himself. As usual Bakura would be with Malik at the mall doing evil things and torment because that's the way he and Malik are ever since they got their millennium items. Seeing this and thought it was very unusual Zara went over and sat down. “Why aren't you with Malik and at the mall,” she asked him? First he didn't answer and looked up at the sky for what seemed like ages when he finally answered. ”Who asked you”? Then he picked up his backpack and walked away. Zara wasn't surprised by her brother's behavior because he acted like this ever since she came back and was really starting to hate it. That night when Zara came home she found that the house was empty. “Ryou. Bakura. Is anybody home,” shouted Zara with worry in her voice. She searched the house and found Bakura sleeping in his room. Zara didn't understand why he was sleeping so early and why Ryou seemed to be missing as well. Zara went to the phone to call Yami and tell him to meet her outside the park and they would have a little walk. “He wasn't home like he usually is. He always waits for me and then we do what ever he wants but all I found was Bakura sleeping,” said Zara to Yami. “So you think Bakura has something to do with Ryou not being at the house when he's suppose to,” said Yami. As they talked Yami saw someone lying on the ground ahead of them. “There's someone on the ground. They could be hurt,” said Yami grabbing Zara by the arm and rushing her over to the person. “Oh no! It's Ryou,” said Zara rushing as fast as she could while dragging Yami behind her. They found that Ryou wasn't hurt but weak and tired which caused him to collapse after taking a walk. They brought him home and took him to his room. While they were getting Ryou to wake up Bakura entered the room. “Why what happened to little Ryou,” asked Bakura in his evil yet smooth tone. “You should know Bakura,” shouted Zara. “What? Me? Why would you say that,” said Bakura? “You know,” she said with tears coming from her eyes. When Bakura heard this he scowled at Zara and left the room thinking of what she said to him. “Why does she think I did it? He went out after I yelled at him for not cleaning his room like I told him. If he did I wouldn't be blamed,” said Bakura to himself. When he went to his room he was all of a sudden filled with sleepiness even though he had just rested. When he fell asleep he started to have a dream. A very strange dream that would change his life forever.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“Where am I? I can't see. Why is it so dark?” These question were all to confusing to Bakura as he looked on in darkness. Then he saw two people with what looked like angel wings on their backs. One had brown hair and looked like a girl and the other had white hair and looked like a boy. Then it hit Bakura. He saw Zara and Ryou as angels, but then he saw himself as a demon underneath the hovering siblings. What he saw he really didn't understand. His demon grabbed angel Ryou by the ankle and pulled him towards the fire but angel Zara grabbed him by both wrists and tried to pull him up but the demon Bakura was slowly pulling them towards the fire. “What is all this? What is going on,” said Bakura in more confusion? Then a bright light appeared and a figure started to take shape in the shield of brightness. “Ishizu is that you,” asked Bakura, squinting in the bright light? “Yes Bakura it is I Ishizu Ishtar and I'm here to help you with your struggles as foretold in my millennium necklace,” answered Ishizu. “Help me? But how,” said Bakura with all this confusion going and coming through his jumbled mind. “You see that scene over there,” said Ishizu, pointing in the direction of the angels and the demon, “This is what is happening right now. You are pulling Ryou towards his death but Zara is preventing this from happening because she loves her brother.” “But how did this all happen,” asked Bakura who was starting to get annoyed because Ishizu wasn't answering his one question? “Let you and I witness the day it all started,” said Ishizu as she did some kind of hand and arm jester and darkness fell once again and a very strong wind started to occur. Bakura tried to shield himself from the wind with his green jacket, but what good that did. He was knocked over and stayed there till the wind stopped. When it did the darkness cleared and it began to rain. A house came in view and Bakura couldn't make it out why Ishizu brought him here. “Do you remember this house and this day Bakura,” said Ishizu. He thought it looked strangely familiar and then it was clear to him that this was the day his sister Zara had been taken away. “Why did you bring me to the day they took Zara away,” asked Bakura with strange questions filling his head? “I have brought you here because this is the day everything collapsed,” answered Ishizu and with a wave of her hand they both were inside the very house where it began. Bakura saw his 7 year-old self with his 6 year-old sister and his 5 year-old brother. They were looking out the window trying to make out what the two people were saying. “Can they see us,” asked Bakura as he inched his way to the small beings? “No. They can't hear you either,” answered Ishizu. The children were trying to listen to the conversation but the rain made too much of a racket as it hit the window. “Can you here anything,” asked Zara. “No, but if we go outside and hide behind the shed we'll be able to here and they won't see us,” answered small Bakura. They got up from the windowsill and headed for the door passing Bakura with out a care in the world. Bakura and Ishizu followed them and heard faint voices on their way to the shed. The children reached the shed and listened but could barely make out any noise at all. Small Bakura looked around and saw a big bush. It gave him an idea. “Zara, I know how to listen to them better. We have to go and hide in the bush,” said Bakura as he started to pull Zara there but she hesitated. “We have to leave Ryou behind if we are to listen to the men,” said Zara as she walked over and told Ryou to stay where he was. They went over to the bush to listen and heard some strange news. “Why do you want me to do this,” said one of the men? “I need a girl that is this age. All the other families don't have a girl that is six. You have to give her to me or this will never work,” said the other man. “Why her? Why can't it be a boy who is over seven”? “Because it will never work. I'll give you 200 dollars and a job here next to me.” The man looked shocked. He just stared at the ground and then looked up. “T-t-two hundred dollars. I don't know. And a job! Well you got yourself a deal,” said the man and shook hands with the other man. “No father can't do this to you Zara,' said Bakura as he gripped Zara's hand tighter every minute he saw his father take a step closer to the door. “Now all you have to do is give the girl to me and you get your job and the 200 dollars,” said the businessman. They entered the house and went up to the children's room to find they were missing. “Where are those blasted kids,” shouted the father? “We'll search the place. You men go outside and search while the rest will search inside,” said the businessman. They headed out and started their search for the children. Meanwhile the children heard the door open and saw a big rough man walk out and begin to search. Bakura knew he had to hide his sister but when saw that little Ryou was still standing under the shed. He dashed out and grabbed his little brother. He jumped back in the bush just as one of the big rough men came around the corner. He walked slowly around inspecting every little thing. He came to the bush and looked into it and saw the white from Bakura and Ryou's hair. He grabbed the bush and pulled it up to reveal he three children. “I got you now. Do you read my this is Ronon calling that I found the girl,” said Ronon from a radio transmitter on his collar. “Run Zara,” shouted Bakura! Zara got up and ran as fast as she could. Ronon ran after her and grabbed her before she could reach the door. They started for the car. Their father was already in the car with the businessman. “Bakura! Help me!” shouted Zara as she tried to struggle from the mans grip. “Zara! You can't take her! Zara!” shouted Bakura after he got up and ran for his sister. He grabbed his sister's hand but was kicked in the stomach by one of the big rough men and fell to the ground with pain. “Bakura no! Don't leave me,” shouted Zara but was cut short when getting thrown in the back seat of the car. Bakura who was still clutching his stomach tried to get up but couldn't. Ryou came running over to the assistants of his older brother. “What do we do now,” asked Ryou? “I don't know Ryou? I just don't know now that Zara is gone,” said Bakura getting up with tears in his eyes. When the older Bakura saw this he saw that now his younger self had to take care of Ryou he felt sorry that he couldn't save his younger sister. “Why did you have to show me this Ishizu,” said Bakura still drenched from the rain? “I show you this because it is the beginning of all you disasters. Now let me show you the next disaster that occurred,” said Ishizu doing another hand jester and once again the colors were swept into darkness by the strong winds and Bakura was once again blown over. The wind stopped and a red building came into view. Bakura now recognized it before Ishizu asked if he remembered it. “This is the school that Ryou went to when he was in fifth grade and I was in seventh,” said Bakura, “Why are you showing me this Ishizu?” “This is your second disaster,” said Ishizu. Bakura waited and watched and saw his middle aged self come to the school doors and waited with his friend Malik. “You picking up your brother Ryou?” asked Malik to Bakura. “Yes and I suppose you are picking up Marik.” said Bakura. “Yes I am. We shouldn't be the ones that have to look after these babies.” Older Bakura was confused as why he was acting like this. “This was also the day after you got your millennium ring and now it has changed you and Malik as well,” said Ishizu. The bell rang for all classes to be dismissed. Ryou and Marik both came out side by side talking about their duel monster cards. Ryou looked up and saw his brother and ran towards him. “Hey Bakura! Marik gave me a new card,” said Ryou with excitement. “That's nice now let's get going,” said Bakura with annoyance. “Something's bothering you isn't it,” said Ryou trying to cheer up his brother but apparently it wasn't working. “Nothings bothering me. I just had a rough day at school and that's all,' said Bakura who was still annoyed by his brothers sudden happiness. “Come on you can tell me. The only way to get it over with is to talk to someone about it.” “NO!” shouted Bakura who then suddenly with extreme force knocked his brother down and just looked ay Ryou. “My arm. My arm hurts really bad,” screamed Ryou with pain and tears coming to his eyes. Marik ran to help his friend and another child went for help. Bakura just stared at his brother with surprise. Malik just looked at him in shock. A teacher ran in and examined Ryou. “His arm is broken. Someone call an ambulance,” yelled the teacher. Everyone had their eyes fixed on Ryou and then Bakura. “Dude, you broke his arm,” said Malik to Bakura. He started to shake his head in sorrow. Ryou was still in serious pain and still clutching his arm. Bakura just stared at Ryou then at Malik and then at the crowd of children. He took one last look at his crying brother and ran into the forest behind the school. Older Bakura and Ishizu started to follow the younger Bakura as he fled from the crowd of spectators. Bakura finally reached an open spot with just a stump in the middle of the clearing. Bakura went over to it and dropped to his knees. He looked up at the dark cloudy sky and started to speak. “Where are you Zara? I need you now more then ever. I need your guidance. I just hurt my brother and now I'm lost. Help me. Please!” The other Bakura who had been watching the whole time saw why Ishizu brought him to this exact time. It was because Zara wasn't here to prevent the injury from happening. “Now don't you see Bakura, that the one day your sister is gone it brings all the disasters yet to happen,” said Ishizu. “Please show me no more of this,” said Bakura turning his back from the younger him. “I see you are understanding what is happening. Now we must visit one last event that occurred in the future,” “What the future,” but his line was cut off by the roaring winds of Ishizu's power. Once the winds were over Bakura saw they were standing in front of a broken down house with a dead yard in front. The house had broken windows from all the rocks thrown at it by careless people. The floorboards on the porch looked as if they had rotted away except for three down the middle in which to enter or exit the house. Bakura and Ishizu entered and looked around the musty dark place that was once a beautiful house. “Why did you bring me here?” said Bakura as he examined the old paintings on the wall. “This is where you live in the future,” said Ishizu still heading onward. “WHAT! I live here in the future?” said Bakura with such shock. “Yes and I'll show you why. Just follow me,” said Ishizu as she guided Bakura to a dark dusty room. There in the corner was an older Bakura with a black long jacket and a little longer hair. He had a stern look on his face as he watch the people below the house walking and greeting each other. Older Bakura looked at them with disgust. “What happy people that live happy lives. It disgusts me. It's not fare that those people get to live lives with their family and I don't.” Younger Bakura didn't understand what he meant when he said `Why should they be happy with their family and not him'. “What does he mean when he said that?” asked Bakura. “Just watch and you will see,” said Ishizu, pointing to the other white haired man. Older Bakura walked away from the window in which he was presently looking through. He walked over to a nightstand next to a dirty old bed that had a lumpy mattress. It also had a torn up red blanket that looked as if Bakura couldn't afford a better one. He sat down and looked at a picture on the nightstand. Younger Bakura walked over and looked at the picture. It was a picture of his family. Ryou and Zara were both dog piling on himself in the picture. Bakura was smiling and Zara was laughing while Ryou had his sweet little smile on his face. “Why did you leave me? I know it's my fault your gone but why to soon? Zara, I need your kindness and guidance. Ryou I need your happy face and knowledge. Please come back. I don't deserve to live if you can.” All this came from the older Bakura. He then started to lay down with the picture still in his hands. Then he got up and walked past the other Bakura and Ishizu. They began to follow him. He went out the door after cramming some money into his pocket. Then out on to the street he seemed to be gliding instead of walking because of his long black jacket. “Where's he going and why do we need to follow him,' asked Bakura. “Patience Bakura. All will be answered if we just follow and watch,” said Ishizu carrying onward with Bakura trailing behind. The older Bakura walked up to a food store and entered in. All the people just stare or look away from him as he passes by. Bakura grabbed something off the shelf and walked over to the counter. The man quickly scanned it and asked him to pay. He did and walked out with more people then before watching him. “Why do they just stare at him?” asked Bakura to Ishizu. “It's because you in the future are known very well. You were the one who lost everything when your sister and your brother disappeared,” said Ishizu. “I lost everything? But how?” These questions just kept coming back to Bakura. They followed the older Bakura until he stopped and just stared at two children. “We have to find our sister Kenny or she might get hurt,” said one of the two children. “Your right. We need to find Sarah or she might hurt herself,” said the other boy. When they walked the little boy dropped a photo. Bakura went over and picked it up. It was a picture of the little girl the two boys were finding. Bakura put this in his coat pocket and walked down an alleyway. He sat down and just looked at the picture. “They must be looking for this girl. I bet it's their sister and those two boys are brothers. I can't let them suffer their sister lost just as I did,' said the older Bakura and he got up. He looked around and then heard something. He heard a faint crying sound from down the alley. The white haired man ran down the alleyway to find a little girl sitting and crying. ”I want my brothers and my mommy,' cried the little girl. Bakura looked at the picture and then at the girl it was the same girl the two boys were looking for. Bakura went over to the girl and kneeled down. “Who are you and what do you want?” said the girl backing away from the man. “I've come to help you. I know where your brothers are. Just trust me and give me your hand,' said Bakura branching out his hand toward the little girl. She just stared at him and the grabbed his hand. He stood up and picked up the small girl. She clutched onto his shirt and buried her face in his jacket. Bakura just looked at the girl and smiled. He walked on out of the alley and into the sunlight that was now dieing away to dusk. He hurried as fast as he could but couldn't go as fast with a little girl in his arms. People just stared at him and some started to whisper that he stole the girl because he lost his sister. Then he saw the two boys looking hopelessly for their sister Sarah. “We might as well give up Kenny,” said the small boy. “No Bobby, we can't give up now. What if she's cold and hungry? We have to keep looking,” said Kenny. Then he looked ahead of him and saw Bakura coming at him with his sister in his arms. “Bobby, that man has our sister and coming towards us with her,' said Kenny tugging on Bobby's shirt. They both ran to Bakura who was now setting Sarah down on the ground. She came running towards her brothers and gave them each a hug. Then she started to say something to them. “I was in an alleyway crying when this man came up to me and told me where you were and you were looking for me.” She looked at Bakura and smiled. He smiled back and said, “Well I better be going then and make sure you kids get home or your parents might be worried.” Bakura started to turn around and head back to his house but felt a tug on his jacket. “Please sir, tell me your name,” asked the girl. Bakura just looked at her and then at the two boys huddling around her. “Yes please tell us your name. I would wish to know who saved my sister from the alleyway,” said Kenny. Bakura looked at them once more and said, ”My name is Bakura and you should be getting home now. Her let me take you.” “Oh that's very nice of you. My name's Kenny, this is Sarah and this is Bobby. Thank you so much Bakura for finding our sister.” The started to walk, with Bobby having a ride on Bakura's back and Sarah holding his had. Bakura was never happier to help these children because they reminded him of Ryou and Zara and how their family used to be. They finally reach the house and Bakura took Bobby off his shoulders and set down on the porch. “Here you are. Now go inside and tell your parents that you're alright,” said Bakura who was now turning around to leave. “Wait. Let us introduce our mother and father to you. I think they would be happy to meet you because you saved our sister,” said Kenny entering the house but stopped when Bakura started to speak. “No it's ok. I better get going. Make sure to stay out of trouble. Oh and here is your photo back.” Bakura handed the photo to Kenny and started down the steps. Sarah ran over and hugged him. Bakura was shocked and didn't know what to say. He then started to hug her back. The other Bakura who was following and watching the whole time was so surprised that he would help three little children. “You see Bakura that you are willing to help these children so they don't suffer the same fate you did,” said Ishizu. “But this still doesn't make since. Why do you keep saying that Zara and Ryou disappeared?” asked Bakura who still had his eyes fixed on the little girl and the older Bakura. “Let me show you,” said Ishizu who started walking in another direction. Bakura followed and they ended up in a cemetery. Bakura wondered why Ishizu brought him here. Then she pointed to two gravestones side by side. Bakura looked at them and fell into shock. “No it can't be. Those can't be them. Please Ishizu, tell me those can't be them,” said Bakura who was now on his knees in front of the two tablets. “It is Bakura, and that is the way it will be if you don't change your actions,” said Ishizu shaking her head in sorrow. On one stone it had Ryou's name in graved on it. It said he died at the age of seventeen. The other had Zara's name in graved on it. It said she died at the age of eighteen, a year later after Ryou's death. Bakura started to cry but tried to hold it back. A wind began to pick up and was blowing hard. “Why Ishizu, why does it have to end like this!” shouted Bakura over the howling wind. “Is there anyway I can prevent this from happening!” “There is one way. You must change your acts or this will be your future to live in sorrow. Now I must go,” said Ishizu who started to disappear in a bright light and then faded away. “Wait Ishizu I still have questions that need answers,” but she had already vanished. The winds got stronger and stronger. It swept all the color away and showed the angels and demon scene once more but the wind didn't stop this time. Bakura looked up from the ground and saw the angel Ryou getting pulled by the demon Bakura, but the angel Zara wasn't going to let it happen. Bakura new at once if he didn't change his actions he would end up like he did in the future. He still huddled on the ground with the wind still howling in his ears. He clasped his hands over his ears and tried to get out of this vision he was in. “You know what you need to do Bakura,” said the faint voice of Ishizu. Bakura looked up thinking Ishizu would be there but she wasn't.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Back in the real world Bakura was still struggling in his sleep. Then he woke up and sat up in a flash. “What happened? What, I'm in my room? It was all a dream, but it all felt so, so real,” said Bakura getting up from his bed. He then remembered what Ishizu said and ran into Ryou's room. There he saw Yami asleep in the chair near the window and Zara asleep on Ryou's bedside. Bakura came in and woke Yami up. “What are you doing in here Bakura?” asked Yami still waking up. “I came in to see if Ryou woke up yet and see if you and Zara were still here.” “Since when do you care about all of us,” asked Yami. “Since after I had this dream,” said Bakura. Then he told Yami about the dream and if he didn't change the future would be a horrible place for him and the rest of his friends. “So your saying that if you don't change now Zara and Ryou would die or disappear?” asked Yami with a little confusion. “I still don't get it, but at least you are now caring for your siblings,” said Yami. He then looked at Zara sleeping on Ryou's bedside. He then walked over to her and stroked her hair with his soft caring touch. Bakura walked over and looked at Ryou. “I hope he's alright,” said Bakura who now felt sorry that Ryou was unconscious. “We better get Zara to her room or she's going to wake up very uncomfortable in the morning,” said Yami starting to carry the sleeping girl to her bedroom. Bakura followed and watch as Yami tucked Zara in and kissed her on the cheek. “You better get going or Yugi will be worried about you,” said Bakura leading Yami to the door. “See you at school tomorrow and tell me if Ryou is ok,” said Yami closing the door behind him. Bakura then went up Zara's room once more and just looked ay her for some time and then started to leave but stopped when he heard Zara speak. “Wait Bakura don't leave yet. I'm sorry for yelling at you today about Ryou. I was just frustrated that's all and I didn't mean what I said and I'm sorry,” said Zara. She just stared at the edge of her bed. Bakura just looked at her and tears started in his eyes. He went over and dropped to his knees in front of the bed and started to cry in Zara's lap. “I'm so sorry of what happened today. It's my entire fault that Ryou is like this because I yelled at him and now I regret it. Please forgive me for all my hated actions,' said Bakura who was still shading tears in Zara's lap. Zara looked at Bakura with surprise. She then put her hand on his head and said, “What are you talking about Bakura? This is so not like you.” Then Bakura told her about the dream. After the dream was told to her she just stared at the edge of her bed once more. “You see if I don't change you and Ryou will die because of me and I don't want that to happen,' said Bakura who started to get teary-eyed again. “It's not going to happen because I'll make sure it doesn't. We'll stay together forever Bakura and nothing can change that,” finished Zara who was now hugging her big brother. Then Zara started to yawn. “You need to get some sleep Zara and don't worry, I'll make sure to watch Ryou,” said Bakura tucking Zara and giving her a kiss goodnight. He then got up, turned out the light and headed to Ryou's room. He looked at his little brother and was so sorry of what he did, but was glad that now he could change the horrible future and see what else was in store for him, his family, and friends.
