Note: I found this laying around in my computer and thought why not upload it? Don't hurt me, this is an old story. Although I never did finished it, it did spark my interest again.

A/N: I change some things around. It's pretty much the same plot, I just didn't like how the first chapter went. So this chapter was rewritten from the original one. So I hope it doesn't confuse anyone... I'm thinking of doing the same to Chapter One as well.

Why Did This Happen?
Prologue

"AIIIEEEE!"

A girl ran as fast as her legs could take her. Two men ran after her, trying to catch her. "Get back here!" One of the thieves yelled. She looked over her shoulder and groaned. She looked up ahead and tried to run faster. How did she get in this situation in the first place? That was the question that still puzzled even her. All that she remembered was that she was taking out the trash for her mother...

{ Flash Back }

The brown haired girl with blonde highlights sighed as she laid on her bed with her eyes closed. Her hands are behind her head as she listens to "Dave Matthews Band" that was playing on the radio. The sixteen year old was bored out of her mind - it was spring break and all of her friends were visiting their families out of town. Her big brother was spending his 1-year-Anniversary with his wife, her father had to go to work tonight; because a co-worker decided he or she didn't want to come into work. It was just her and her mother at home right now and she really wanted to do something and not stay in the house all day.

"Tabitha!"

Tabitha Anderson open her blue-green eyes at the voice of her mother from down stairs. She sighed wondering what her mother wanted - maybe she wanted her to do something? "Yeah?" she asked not moving from her spot on the bed. "Can you take out the trash, please?" Tabitha sighed; well it was better then anything she suppose... it wasn't like she was doing anything and most of her home work was caught up and it was the beginning of spring break. "Sure thing mom, I'll be down in a minute!" the teenager replied as sat up in her bed and placed her legs over the side of the bed and then stood up. She walked over to her end stand and turned off her radio, she then grabbed her blue jean jacket and slipped it on. She went and grabbed her light blue and white tennis shoes and slipped them on. She then open her door and walked out of her room and went down stairs. She went into the kitchen and grabbed the trash bags (her mom was doing some early cleaning.) and told her mother that she would be right back.

She went outside of her apartment and went over to the trash bin and then threw away the trash. But just as she was about to go back to the apartment, a bright light began to blind her. "What?" she question as she held up her arms to cover her eyes from the blinding light. The light then surrounded her and she disappeared within thin air - no trace was left behind.

:::::

Tabitha groaned as she slowly open her blue-green eyes. She blinked once, then twice. She began to sit up, but regretted it as soon as she did - she grabbed her head in pain, her head was throbbing. "Ohhh... my head." she groaned softly. What in the world happen? All that she remembered was taking out the trash for her mom and the next thing she saw was that blinding light... ' What in the world was that light anyways? ' she thought to herself in question. But as she was lost in her thoughts and because of the throbbing in her head, she didn't notice three men standing a few feet away from her. "Well, look what we have here - a young girl." Tabitha blinked when she heard the male's voice, she looked up and saw three Egyptian men... with a look in their eyes that she did not like at all. She had a very bad feeling about those three men. She then stood up, ignoring the throb in her head and backed away slowly away from three men.

The first man that had spoke first, grinned at her. He took a hold of her small wrist in his strong bronze hand. "Where do you think your going girl?" he asked as he leaned forward, Tabitha glared at him. "Away from you!" she said in a flat tone. She then did something that neither of the men would think any girl or women would do... she kneed him in the groin - hard. He dropped his hold on her as he doubled over in pain and dropped to the ground while holding his precious jewels. The other two Egyptian men gasped with wide eyes. Then they saw her turned around and dashed away from them as fast as she could.

{ End Flash Back }

Tabitha sighed. ' Why does this always happen to me? ' she thought to herself. This wasn't the first time she had found her self in trouble... she just got pissed of easily, it really wasn't that hard - she got her temper from her father (but even though her dad had a temper, he was really a nice guy.) Then something caught her eyes, a building of some sort - maybe she could lose the men that were chasing her if she went into their? Not wanted the men to catch her, she ran inside but froze as she saw what kind of place it was. She sweat dropped as she glanced around. ' Is this some kind of bar or something? ' everyone turned when they heard the door slam open and they looked straight at her. Everyone inside were men, besides some women that were serving them drinks and such. It was the owner of the place that spoke up.

"Get out! This is no place for a child!"

"Uhh..." Tabitha sweat dropped, again. But before she could say anything else - two men rushed in. The two men that were chasing her. "Got you now girl!" one of the thieves said as he ruffly took a hold of her arm, making her gasp in shock as she stared at him with wide eyes. Not to far away was a young Egyptian who was sitting down and having a drink - he saw what was happening out of the corner of his violet colored eyes. "Your going to pay for kicking our boss." he heard one of them say, the one that had grabbed her. He watched as the girl glared at the man with a heated gaze, clearly angry. The girl surprised the man, even the tomb robber. She took her free hand and made a fist and punched the man that was holding her arm in the face, making the man loose his grip on her as he held his face in pain; she then punched him in the gut - hard, making him double over in pain. She then kicked the other thief in the stomach making him fall down onto the ground, while gripping his stomach in pain.

Everyone inside watched as she ran out of the place in a rush. Not wanting to deal with the men that she just beaten up. Everyone was in shock. The tomb robber on the hand grinned at the sight. It wasn't every day you saw a girl or a women defend herself like she had... she was interesting. Without anyone knowing, the King of Thieves was gone as well...

:::::

He followed her into a dark ally. What made him follow her, he wasn't so sure... but she was different then most females that he had seen or met. For one, she looked different. Her skin was fair looking, he knew right away that she was not an Egyptian because of her skin color. And her eye color was different as well. A beautiful blue-green color that he had never seen before. Was she a Greek? But didn't the ones from Greece have yellow hair and blue eyes? She did have yellow hair, but it was only highlighted in her beautiful wavy brown hair that went past her shoulders. He saw the girl stop and drop to her knees - clearly tired out from all the running, she was panting hard as she tried to catch her breath. "I-I think - I lost t-them." she said in a shaky breath as she put her hand to her chest, trying to calm down. "What am I going to do now?" she asked herself softly with a frown on her pretty face.

"How about you die!"

She froze when she heard the males voice. She looked over her shoulder and saw the very man that she had kicked in the groin. He looked quite angry. (And who wouldn't if they got kicked there...) she looked at the man's hand and saw him gripping a knife in his hand, a very sharp knife... she gulped as she looked at the man, an uneasy look went across her face. ' I'm gonna die! ' those thoughts ran though her mind as she watched as the man slowly moved closer to her. He gave her a look that said I-gonna-take-great-pleasure-in-this, kind of look. And for once in her life, she was scared.

"Touch the girl and you will be the one wishing for a death wish." said a deep voice, one of clear authority. A very masculine voice. She blinked and looked up. She saw the man whirl around to look at who would dare interrupt him. There standing against a wall was a tall man of eighteen with bronze colored skin, short pale purple messy hair. Violet colored eyes that looked cold and uncaring. Three scars on his right cheek. Two going down from his eye to his cheek and one across. He is wearing a white shendyt that was draped around his hips. A red and white robe that was left open so that you see his well muscled chest. Around his ankles are a pair of golden anklets and on his feet are a pair of white slip on shoes. The man pointed a finger at the younger Egyptian man. "Bakura!" the man growled out as he narrowed his eyes at him. "This is none of your concern!" he said flatly with anger in his eyes.

"Leave the girl alone." Bakura said darkly; even for someone as young as he was, Tabitha had a feeling that you just don't mess with a guy like Bakura. But the man being the moron that he was didn't move. "I don't care if you're the King of Thieves! The girl is mine!" the man growled out. Tabitha on the other hand got pissed off like no tomorrow. She glared at hole right through idiot man's bald head. She balled her fist as she closed her eyes in anger as a vain popped out on the side of her head. ' What does this moron think he is anyways? ' she thought as the vain throbbed. Bakura on the other hand narrowed his violet eyes. When he was mad, all hell broke loose. Before anyone knew it - he was no longer against the wall, but right in front of the man and gripped his wrist painfully. Putting presser on it so that the wrist broke and the man gave a painful cry in pain as the knife fell from his now broken hand.

The man tried to get Bakura's hand off of his wrist, but the young man's grip was strong. Tabitha had open her eyes when she heard a cry of pain. She gasped in shock as she covered her mouth with her hands. ' He's broke his wrist! ' she thought in shock. She watched as Bakura leaned closer to the man's face, a scowl on his face. "Would you like for me to repeat myself? Or would you rather I brake some more of your bones?" he hissed out in anger.

"No! Please stop! I won't go near her!"

"Good."

With that, Bakura took a hold of the man's tunic and threw him into the wall. Making the man cry out in clear pain. As best as he could, the bald Egyptian man got up and ran out of the ally way, leaving Bakura and Tabitha alone. Tabitha stared in pure shock, she had never seen anyone fight like that before. She let her hands drop into her lap as she looked at Bakura. She watched as he turned back around and she gasped, not sure of what this man was going to do next... Bakura smirked at her as he looked at the sixteen year old girl. He was now able to get a some what better look at her. Even though she was sitting on the ground, from when he saw her running from before - he guessed that she was about 5' 5" in height, she was short compared to his own 5' 11" in height. Her clothes were... odd looking. Something that he never seen a women or girl wear before. She is wearing a white tee shirt with a blue jean jacket, baggy tan cargo pants, white socks and light blue and white tennis shoes on her feet.

He looked into her innocent looking blue-green eyes. A virgin... maybe? But even though she had innocent looking eyes, he could tell that she was afraid and shocked.

Tabitha notice that he was looking at her up and down and she blushed. She then watched as he looked back at her face and saw that she was red as a tomato. She glared at him. "What are you looking at." there she goes again; speaking before thinking it over because she was embarrassed or angry. He smirked at her demand. She did have some nice curves under those baggy clothing... "You know..." he began. She sooo didn't like the look in his violet eyes, it gave her the chills and it went straight down her spine. "Wearing that could get you into trouble." he said with a grin. Her jaw dropped as her blush redden.

"There is nothing wrong with my clothes!"

This girl sure blushed a lot - and she was fun to tease. A very interesting girl indeed.

He then started to walk away from her. "Hay! Wait a minute!" Bakura stopped and looked over his shoulder. She stood up from the ground and looked him. "Um." she said softly, trying to find the words to say to him and to calm her bright red blush that was on her cheeks. "Thank you for saving me... and..." she began as she bowed. "And what?" she glared at him, making Bakura smirk at her as he turned to face the girl. She hated that smirk of his... this was just hard for her to say - for her at least. She just wasn't use to asking people. She straighten her back and looked away from him. "Can- can you take me with -y-you?" she asked as she stumbled a bit on her words. Bakura raised an eyebrow at her as he looked at her oddly. "What?" he question as he stared at the girl. A blush appeared on her cheeks once more.

"I - I know that you don't know me at all, but I'm- lost and I don't know where to go and I have no place to go to at the moment." she said with a slight sigh as she spoke. He stayed silent as he looked at the girl before him. Yep this was it. He was gonna leave her in the dust... yep, her life was doom... she could feel it! She was stupid for asking such a thing-

"Are you coming?" he asked in a slight irritated voice. She blinked and looked up into his eyes with surprise written on her face. Bakura stood a foot away from her, waiting for Tabitha to follow him. Bakura didn't know what came over him as he said those words. Normally he wouldn't care if something happen to the girl or not. That was just him. Maybe it was because he wanted to see what made this girl tick? "Are you coming or not?" he asked again. She stared for a moment, not sure what she should do, but then made up her mind. "Ah... yes." she said in a quite tone as she followed the great King of Thieves.
