"Another night." said a white haired boy looking through the window on the bottem floor. He was looking out of the window of nighting hall. People had said it was haunted and many who spend the night there would believe them.

"You know Bakura," came a voice. "Ishizu said you may get a visitor tomorrow."

"It doesn't really matter Malik," Bakura sighed. "Not like they'll see me."

"Ishizu said she's speacial." said Malik walking out of the shadows.

Bakura could now make out his features, blond hair, violet eyes and tan skin, not to mention his outfit... leather. Typical. 'Wait a minute!'

"Malik did you say she?"

Malik nodded. "Yeah she as in a girl. Honestly Bakura if you stay here any longer then you'll go completely insane." he walked up to him standing by his side.

"Is that what my father wants?" asked Bakura looking out the window again.

"Come on Bakura! He said it was for your own good!" cried Malik exasperated. They had this arguement everytime Bakura's father came up.

"The man stole my power's and turned me into a ghost for crying out loud!" shouted Bakura turning to look at Malik.

"He said you have to learn a lesson!"

"You'd believe him if he told you that shit was gold!"

Malik felt rage corse through his blood. "Bakura that was the last stra-"

"Enough! Both of you stop it!" shouted Ishizu.

"Woman what are you doing here!" shouted Bakura.

"You need more information about who's coming." said Ishizu calmly.

"We already know, well I do anyway. It's two girls and three guys. Right?" asked Malik

"That's correct." said Ishizu in her normal emotionless voice. "But there's more."

"Oh really?" asked Bakura. "And you, for once, plan on telling me?" He was talking about when he was first told that he had to be a ghost it was about an hour before it actually happened. Not giving Bakura enough time to get ready was something Bakura always hated about his parents.

Ishizu sent him a glare. "Bakura I know your angry at me, bu-"

"But? But nothing! I'm supposed to be your son! You and that poor excuse for an immortal took away my powers! I've been living hell for three-hundred years!" It was good to let it out after he had bottled it up for three-hundred years.

"Bakura calm yourself." said Malik.

"Forget it Malik," said Ishizu sighing. "He'll understand when the time is right. Besides this is normal behavior for him. I should leave, watch over my son Malik, and remember tomorrow you'll be getting guests." and with that she dissapeared.

Bakura growled. "I miss doing that."

Malik raised an eyebrow. "Spooking people out? You do it even more now."

Bakura shook his head. "You know what I mean Malik."

"You know Bakura," said Malik thoughtfully. "You have a pretty cool haunting place. Ofcourse it's nothing like the palace of the immortals."

Bakura scowled. The palace of the Immortals where he just happened to be born. The very place where he was marked prince of the immortals and where his powers were sealed up three-hundred years ago.

He could still remember it it was big and mostly decorated with gold and silver the decoration were something people would give their lives to see. And the gardens were the best parts. There were four gardens each on the North, East, South and West parts parts of the palace.

Flowers of the garden of the north red and pink and with the scent of strawberrys.

Flowers from the garden of the east blue and purple and with the scent of blueberrys.

Flowers from the garden of the south yellow and gold with the scent of lemons.

Flowers from the garden of the west, the garden of the west, the most glorius scent of all! No fruit nore flowers could compare with that scent. Nothing could.

Bakura remembered times when he'd fall asleep under the stars surrounded by their scent and with the beauty of the stars it was simply paradise.

"Bakura?" asked Malik "Bakura? Holy cow! Your not breathing!"

"Malik calm down!" Bakura shouted after Malik had almost preformed mouth to mouth with him. Luckily for him he snapped out of his daydream in time to push him off.

"But Bakura! Your not breathing! How can you be alive!" asked Malik shocked.

"Malik you Idiot! I'm a ghost!" cried Bakura annoyed by his friends Idiocy.

"Oh yeah." said Malik grinnig sheepishly.

Bakura sweatdropped. 'Idiot. If I still had my powers I'd burn him to a crisp and them bring him to life and burn him again for extra measure.'

In the palace of the Immortals:

"Seto?" asked Ishizu to her husband.

"Yes my love?" said Seto looking down at his son and Malik argueing.

"His time for this is almost complete. The girl will show up tomorrow. It will take him some time to understand his emotions and when he does it'll be time for him to come back I hope that the girl will accept what he is." said Ishizu sighing.

Seto smiled. "You accepted me." he kissed he forehead.

"Yes but unlike her I had no family."

"If she doesn't accept him then she isn't the one."

"And Bakura will hate us even more." said Isis. She really hadn't wanted to do this to her son. She remembered when she had first held him in her arms.

: Flashback:

"What do we call him?" asked Ishizu.

"Hmmm Set sounds good." said Seto smiling. He was overjoyed with the fact that he had a son and not just any son a red eyed, white haired son.

"Set? No it doesn't suit him I think... Bakura." said Ishizu thoughtfully.

"Bakura? Yes it does suit him doesn't it? Well then how do you like that name, Bakura?"

Little Bakura laughed. And in doing so caused Ishizu to as well. Seto smiled his son... Bakura.

: End Flasback:

"Bakura..." whispered Ishizu a tear streaming down her face. "I can't believe I allowed this to happen to him."

"It is tradition and hopefully he'll come back and forgive us soon." said Seto.

"Where's Noah?" asked Ishizu suddenly.

Seto looked confused. "I think he's with Mokie in the garden of the south."

Ishizu smiled. "Then let's pay them a quick visit."

Japan:

"Geez Anzu what did you pack?" asked Honda picking up Anzu's bag.

"Not much." said Anzu getting into the car.

"Hey I'm supposed to be driving!" shouted Jounouchi

"And kill us all? I don't think so. Now get in the car! Where's Yugi?" asked Anzu suddenly.

"Over here." said Yugi holding a sleeping bag and a suitcase. "Could on of you give me a hand?" Poor Yugi it was all to much for his little body he was having trouble holding the suitcase.

Immidiatly Shizuka and Jounouchi ran to him. "Yugi-Kun are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine." said Yugi once Shizuka and Jounouchi had gotten the suitcase of him.

Shizuka smiled. "Yugi-kun you pack more then Anzu."

"Yeah," said Honda. "and that says something."

Anzu growled and got out of the car. "Is that so?" she asked walking up to him.

"Umm, W-w-well, ye-yeah." stuttered Honda walking backward.

"Well you listen here Honda Hiroti! Don't you come crying to me when you don't have enough clothes! Because all I am going to say is go to h-"

"Hello chaps!" said Ryou cutting Anzu of. "I wanted to say goodbye."

Anzu smiled at Ryou. "Thanks Ryou-kun. It's a total bummer you can't come with us."

"Yes, welll like I said. My fathers not feeling well." he smiled sadly.

Anzu hugged him causing him to blush a little he still wasn't used to their hugs. "Don't worry Ryou-kun I'll get you something."

Ryou smiled. "You really shoudn't Anzu-chan, I don't want to trouble you."

"No trouble at all. I was gonna get something for my mom anyway."

"Anzu let's go, we've got to get there tomorrow remember?" asked Honda.

"Yeah, yeah! Well goodbye Ryou-kun." she leaned in and kissed his cheek.

"Bye Anzu." he smiled slightly a blush creeping up his face.
