"Hey.... Have I seen you before?"
The white haired teen responds to me. "Ah no probably not but I was in Duelist Kingdom and I'm a good friend of Yugi!"
'for gods sake why'd it have to be you!' Bakura looks at me expectantly with a kind of cute awkwardness. "Well it makes sense if you don't know me Yugi and Joey probably haven't talked to you about me, I'm not very interesting."
'Bakura is really such an sad character, at least compared to other in Yu-Gi-Oh! I mean is body is constantly taken over by an evil spirit that he can't get rid of and in most stories doesn't he have like no family at all?'
'I kinda feel for him. That's a sad fate to be imprisoned by, but I don't think that I could help him. Beating Zorc in a shadow duel does nothing for me since he can come back no problem and I'm nowhere near strong enough to reseal him somewhere else with my Ba.'
In the middle of my inner monlogue Bakura starts to downcast as he speaks. "Well its fine I'll be going. Sorry if I was making you uncomfortable!"
'Ah shit I can't let him go it would be terrible for my mental state.'
"Wait! I was just thinking about where I've seen you before. You were on duelist kingdom right?" Bakura who was turning to leave looks back at me with a noticable gleam in his eyes.
"Yeah I was I wasn't in the finals or anything but I competed in it and I got 6 starships!"
"Really? Then you did better than some Regional Champions in Duelist Kingdom! That's pretty good all things considered and your friends with nearly everyone who was in the finals of Duelist Kingdom."
"What? I only know Yugi and Joey who were finalists." Looking towards Bakura as he slowly puts two and two together I think to myself. 'I don't like using subtle manipulation but Bakura needs it. I means he's a lonely child and if he goes off into the deep end by me stealing his only friends Zorc will probably do his shenanigans early right? It isn't a excuse to be friends with this guy!'
"Ah. Yeah I supose so... Well anyway I've got to find someone to duel to get some Locator Cards, I want to get into the finals this time! I'll see you!" Bakura after gaining a decent blush on hiI have'nt s face starts making his way into the direction I just walked from.
'You know haven't had this thought yet but who would I try to be with in this universe? I mean I've got some good options Mai, Bakura, Serenity if I want to be a creep, Ishizu, Dark Magicain Girl If I could find the damn card!'
'You know what I feel like parts of me have changed sense coming here or more specifically this body, like I'm acting like a teen as apposed to a decently experienced 32 year old man. I also feel like my "preferences" have changed. Well either way its me and that's all that matters!'

I yawn after another 30ish minutes of walking. It's around noon which means it getting warmer so I zip up my jacket and do into a cafe to buy a hot coffee. What? It's early November its cold as hell!
Going into the cafe I grab myself hot chocolate sense they didn't have coffee and sit down to enjoy it. After around 3 minutes another person comes into the cafe with my sense going haywire.
'The fuck! Who is that and why do they have more Ba than I do! From what the others have told me that's basically impossible for normal humans unless they've conquered a spirit world and taken all the energy out of it! When I put it like that I've really got a more Ba than I know what to do with.'
"Hello. Do you mind if I sit here?"
"No you can do ahead I'm almost done here anyway."
"Ah. Thank you."
Sitting across from me is a absolute well of spiritual energy with it almost inhuman as something other more tainted than Ba is sending alarms into my head.
"What are you?"
"So you can sense it. It makes sense you've got some many spirits following you you could probably go to war in the right realm."
The woman shifts from fair skin to tan and her modern clothes changing into Eygptain(?) attire, but the most drastic change is from woman to man as they shift and grow taller.
"I am Shadi one of the many tomb keepers of history and I am here to test you."
"Oh. Your that guy. I know you your a keeper of two Millennium Items the key and the scale. Your going to test my soul and see if I'm worthy of... The key I assume?"
"...Yes I would ask how you know that but I strictly don't care. All that matters is that I can finally stop looking for a user of this item."
"You do know that I already have the Millennium Eye right?"
"Yes I know but it doesn't matter if anything that item is about to in another's possession soon enough now lets get on with it."
Shadi takes my hand in his? Their? own and gives me the Millenium Scale to hold as I hold it nothing happens.
"That's a... Good sign? Well at least your not evil. Now let me ask you a question and answer truthfully if you want to live. What or Who are you?"
