Chapter1: Maktub! "It was written"

"The animals that I present to you today, are lives fabricated in my laboratory. They are clones obtained under the method of division of cells of embryos. And these clones are the result of an arduous journey that my group and I have been developing for years for the company of importation and exportation of foods of Solomon Muto"

The crowd roared into an applause as Dr. Arthur Hawkins motioned the man Solomon Muto, who was sitting in the front row of the enormous conference hall, very pleased with Hawkins' speech.

"Well Solomon, we have now dominated the cloning of animals, but we still have a long road ahead. However, we scientists will continue to expand our research about cloning. Always taking care to not fall in the temptation of over stepping the limits placed by ethics!"

With that concluding sentence, the crowd applauded, while Dr. Hawkins stood behind the podium proud and tall.

Later that same night, Hawkins retreaded to his home and was looking at a note left by one of his workers while getting a glass of wine.

"Arthur, the Ethical Institute called to confirm your conference for next week. I already noted it down in your agenda. Bye"

In that moment, Arthur fantasized his future:

"Since a long time ago, Science knew that it was necessary to clone a human being. And when something is technically possible, there is no reason not to do so. I have just been the most eligible and skilled out of all my coworkers for this task. I HAVE CREATED HUMAN CLONES!" Arthur said triumphantly, standing in front of a conference wrapped up in all the glory of the fame and applause.

In another part of town, Yami and Yugi were at the beach.

"Look at her! Look at her! Ooh did you see her?" Yami said, eyeing the girl playing volleyball at the beach.

"Is that Susy?" Yugi questioned while standing to the side.

'Look at that body! Oh Yugi, I got her for the both of us" he commented. "Come, your time has come, so enjoy it" he said patting Yugi in the back. He turned around to find Yugi looking down at the sand.

"What? You're not brave enough to do it? Oh Yugi, watch and learn" he said turning around to go do his act. But Yugi stopped him by grabing his shoulder, taking Yami's place and shyly, with his hands in his short pockets walked up to the girl, leaving Yami grinning.

"Susy?" said Yugi. The girl turned around.

"Yami where have you been? I've been waiting the entire day for you at the gym" she replied

"Yes. I couldn't go today, I was busy with college" Yugi lamely replied.

"How did it go?" she asked

"Good. The truth is that laws aren't my thing. I like music" another lame reply.

"Laws. Didn't you tell me yesterday that you were studying administration and that your dream was to be a helicopter pilot?" she said while putting her hands on her hips angrily.

Yugi didn't know what else to do or say, he was so busy racking his mind for something that it took him off guard when the girl wrapped her arms around his neck seductively and kissed him. He didn't like it. Not at all.

"Um… I'll be right back" he said turning on his heel and heading back towards Yami's direction with his head bowed and leaving the girl dumbfounded.

"Good job Champ!" Yami said patting Yugi in the back.

"With you nobody can't Yami" Yugi said annoyed.

"What do you mean with me nobody can't? Yugi, don't be ungrateful! I let you borrow my girl and you still complain? I can't believe it! Come on give me your shirt"

Yugi reluctantly gave his shirt and Yami put it on running off giving him the 'watch and learn' signal.

"Hey Susy! Did I take long?"

"No. but I was leaving anyways

"No wait!" Yami said grabbing her arm and passionately kissed her. All while Yugi watched in the sidelines.

Later, Yugi and Yami pulled up in front of their home, a huge white mansion and got off Yami's luxurious sports car.

"Tell the truth coward, you liked Susy" Yami said

"What I didn't like is you making me take your place Yami" Yugi countered.

"Because Yugi if I didn't do it, she was never going to kiss you dummy!" he said

"Come here! Come here Yami! Your gonna pay for this!" Yugi replied as Yami took a full out run into the mansion, with Yugi close behind.

"Mama Rose!" called Yami

"I'm in Yugi's room!" she replied

Yami and Yugi ran into the room and Yami scooped the old woman in his arms. "Who's the most beautiful woman in the world?"

"Yami!Put me down!" she squealed

Mama Rose was the sweet old house maid and nanny of Yami and Yugi, she took care of them when their mother passed away. She was short with short brown hair, had wrinkly face, and was always dressed in her uniform.

"Goodness! You both are 20 years old and you still act like children!" she said once she regained her balance. "Please, stop playing and get dressed, your father is waiting for you. Here are the clothes"

Yugi noticed that the clothes were identical to Yami's. Just because we are twins doesn't mean we have to do everything the same.

"No Mama Rose, the clothes are identical" Yugi complained

"And what's wrong with that? It's so cute when identical twins dress the same. Remember that when your mother lived, she liked that nobody could distinguish one from the other" she said simply.

Yugi went into his enormous walk in closet and pick out an entirely new outfit, khaki pants and a white shirt.

"I'm going to put this" he stated.

"Don't pay attention to him, he would have loved to have another face" Yami teased.

"I don't like being identical like you" Yugi said

"However, I love being like you" Yami said sarcastically.

Yugi just shrugged it off and went to go get dressed.

In another less glamourous part of town….

"Jade come on! Jade!" said three girls who were outside an apartment building. Trying to get a certain girl outside.

At the same time, Jade was at her window peeking through the blindfolds. (Note: Jade's appearance is medium height, slightly tanned skin, long brown hair, brown eyes, she also wears a jade necklace)

"Jade! Jade?!" they continued.

"Ladies, what do you want from my Jade?" said an old woman who was covered from head to toe and had a veil wrapped around her head.

Jade rolled her eyes. Oh no there she goes again.

"It's just that we wanted to celebrate my birthday at a club and we were wondering if Jade could come along" one of the girls spoke up.

"Jade can't go to clubs, her religion doesn't permit it" said the old woman. "Excuse me" she said taking her leave and walking into the apartment. The girls looked at each other confused, then they burst laughing and took off.

Inside, Jade just finished washing dishes, when her mother came in.

"When is it that those friends of yours going to leave us alone Jade?" she said tiredly.

"Why did you say I couldn't go to a club because of religion? Now everyone is going to make fun of me" Jade questioned.

"Make fun of you? We don't make fun of their religion, so they shouldn't make fun of ours" the woman said

"Why can't I ever do anything? I can't study in a friend's house, I can't' sleep at someone's house, I can't go to clubs. I read in the internet that Morocco has changed a lot since the new king" she said.

"Allah! Jade don't say that! The Koran is our only religion"

"But not everything has to be so radical mom, here in the U.S. girls wear skirts and go to clubs— "

"Allah! Allah! Give me patience. You my darling have to be a very religious girl"

Later, Jade was walking around in the beach surrounded by shirtless men and women who were in bikinis.

While she was covered all the way up to her arms.

I'm tired of being different from everyone else

Two shirtless men approached Jade, but she quickly stepped back and got the veil she was wearing around her shoulders and wrapped it around her head and walked away.

Yami and Yugi pulled up in front of Muto Enterprises in Yami's car.

"Were here. Put on a good face" Yami told Yugi.

"Dad!" said Yami running to his father, Solomon, who had stepped outside to greet them.

"Why did you call us?" Yami said

"I want you to be familiarized with the Enterprises. The faster you learn what is rightfully yours, the better for everyone" he said

'Come on Yugi!" Yami said .Yugi just slowly trailed behind.

"The company is growing, but we have to be careful because the competition is also" Solomon warned.

Once inside the office.

"You two have to be prepared to lead this enterprise and its reputation. Yami I want you to be in administration and Yugi in law. Good administrator, good lawyer, and I'll take care of the negotiations" he continued.

"But dad, I don't want to study law, I want to study music" Yugi boldly said.

"Music? Son, do you think that music is going to maintain your lifestyle? Please, you're not going to get any money like that, trust me I know what is right for you"

Yugi just looked down in shame.

"Oh. I forgot, your godfather Arthur is planning a trip to Morocco. Who wants to go?"

"Me!" both Yami and Yugi said. Yugi was excited about the idea of visiting a new place.

Just then the phone rang and Yami answered.

"Hello?"

"Hello can I talk to Solomon" said a female voice

"Sure" Yami replied, liking the mysteriousness of the voice. "Dad it's for you" he said handing over the phone.

"Thank you Yami" Solomon said grabbing the phone and talking to the female in a low voice.

Jade was now walking in the center part of the town and was nearing a disco, where it was full of people drinking alcohol.

Those places are only there to create haram, a sin! Her mother voice warned. So instead jade turned and left and headed home.

As Jade reached her home, a woman ran out yelling desperately.

"Jade! Jade! Come, it's your mother, she suddenly fell"

Jade immediately ran up the stairs, into the apartment, and to her mother's room where she was in bed with a sickening look on her face.

"Mom what happened?! I'll go call the doctor" she said getting up, but her mother stopped her.

"No. Don't call the doctor. I'm sorry, my time has come…its god's doing"

Tears started to well up in Jade's eyes.

"I have already talked with your uncle Ali. He's going to take care of you along with your cousin Latifa. There you are going to get to know our land, the desert, and the camel caravans. There you won't be different from anyone" she said hoarsely and weak.

"You'll be very happy…." She said as she started to fade and then her eyes closed.

"No! Mom please, don't leave me" Jade cried helplessly. But it was no use.

(Sahara, Morocco)

Yami, Yugi, and Dr. Arthur Hawkins were in the Sahara desert on top of camels along with a couple of men as guides.

"To think that 350 million years ago, all of this desert of the Sahara was under the sea. And now, we have it here, powerful and alive" Hawkins said

"Yes. Incredible." Yami replied "Arthur, do you believe that one day, man can overcome death?"

"Aside from death, if we are able to make a clone out of ourselves, it will be life having eternal life. The greatest triumph of the 21st century will be human clones" he proclaimed.

"And who do you pretend on cloning?" Yugi spoke for the first time

"Well it's about time you said something smart" Yami said "It's a great question, who do you plan on cloning?"

Instead of answering the question, Hawkins said, "Oh let's go! Or we'll miss our flight you dad will be waiting for us"

"Arthur, do you know who this mysterious woman is that father is bringing? Dad has everyone in suspense"

Hawkins chuckled. "No, but I would love to meet the woman that turned the great Solomon Muto into a little lion cub"

"Come on!" Yugi said kicking his camel to make it move, but it didn't budge. He tried again, but the camel got annoyed and threw poor Yugi to the ground.

Yami and Arthur were laughing hysterically. "Not like that dummy! Like this" he demonstrated. Yugi made an annoyed face.

(Fez, Morocco)

Back at the hotel, the three were getting their luggage and key card for their apartment.

"Arthur, what is the thing we have to go to tonight?" Yugi said

"Oh it's the inauguration of a salon here in the hotel and there will be reporters there who want to interview me about some science subjects. Shukran" he replied to the attendant. "Thank you" Yugi said. And the three of them took off to their room.

Just then, a gorgeous woman came in. She was tall with long blonde hair, amethyst eyes, she was wearing a purple outfit with matching boots, and with her was her luggage. She made her way to the registration lady.

"Hello. I have a reservation under the name of Solomon Muto" she spoke.

However, the attendant spoke in just Arabic.

This puzzled the lady and she tried to correct her.

"No no no. So-lo-mon Muto. Look at the reservation"

"You don't speak English?" The attendant shook her head. "Does anybody speak English here?" she said looking around but, no one, apparently did.

"Look my name is Mai Valentine and I have a reservation under Solomon Muto he's coming later in the morning because we didn't have any room in the same plane— ".

Again. The attendant only spoke in Arabic.

Ugh. This is going to be a long day.

Meanwhile, at the event held that night….

Yugi made his way towards the table where Yami was sitting with a glass of wine.

Not far from them, Hawkins was having a private talk with some reporters.

All of the sudden, a blonde woman came in wearing a very provocative and short red dress with matching red heels and lips. She looked around, as if she was looking for someone.

At that moment, Yami noticed her. He instantly felt something drawing him to her. He got up and made his way to where she was drinking a glass of wine. He gave her a seductive look and she returned it. Then, she left. Yami followed closely behind. Soon he found her outside in a secluded place from the hotel. They looked at each other with lust and before they knew it, they were kissing with such urgency. Then she broke the kiss and she left teasing him to come along. Yami, being the determined man he is, followed her into the night. (a.k.a you know what happens next….).

Two women dressed in white with their heads covered were running full speed towards the airport. One was much younger and the other older.

"Hurry Zoraida Hurry!" said the young female. "See! I told you we're going to be late!"

"Im coming!" the older female replied.

"Jade!" they both screamed, motioning for the other young female.

"Cousin!" Jade happily replied and hugged both of them

"Look how beautiful you are!"

"How long has it been since I was in the U.S.?" asked the young female

"8 years Latifa" Zoraida replied.

"My mother always wanted to come here…..in the end I came alone" Jade said sadly.

"Come on let's go". And the three of them left to a taxi that was waiting for them.

"Cousin, you came in the best time, today is my engagement" Latifa happily said

"You're going to get married? With who?" Jade gasped

"I don't know I've never met him, but I hope he really likes me. He's going to ask for my hand today. His name is Bakura" she said "and you know what the best thing is? I'm going to go live in the U.S. Can you believe it you come and I leave"

The taxi stopped in front of the entrance to an enormous plaza/ residence

"We have to on foot from here" said Zoraida taking out the luggage and giving Jade her backpack. "Shukran". They thanked the driver.

'Wait till you meet you Uncle Ali. He's a very wise man and knows well the word of the prophet" Zoraida said

Jade wasn't paying attention, she was busy looking around and awestruck by the radical change in her life. When she came back to reality, she realized she was alone and that neither Latifa nor Zoraida were around. Panicking, she ran deeper into the crowd and place. She ran through long, twisted, and crowded hallways in search for her cousin and Zoraida. No luck. She was too worried looking around that she didn't notice there was a table in front of her. She tripped over the table and all the ceramics fell into the floor and broke into pieces.

'I'm so sorry! Sorry!" she apologized profusely. But the owner was angry and screaming words to her that Jade did not understand. Out of nowhere, Latifa and Zoraida came and helped poor Jade. "Be careful, you can get easily lost here"

They made their way, until the came upon a tall house with a huge wooden door. To Jade it look rather plain, but when she stepped inside, she was amazed. In the middle there was a huge fountain, there was long pillars made of marble, the walls and floor were made of marble as well, and exotic plants in every corner. This place was very luxurious.

"Im going to go get Ali" Zoraida said, leaving the two girls alone

Latifa noticed the look on Jade's face.

"Oh cousin, I feel lost" Jade confessed. "Don't worry, Jade everything will be fine" Latifa reassured her.

"Im scared of everything. That's why I don't understand how you're going to marry a man you haven't even met. Aren't you scared?"

"Yes I'm scared. Scared he won't like me. But what about you? Is there a man in your life?" Lafifa asked

Jade chuckled "No. But when I feel goose bumps when I see a man, I swear that nobody will stop me to be with him. That's why I don't understand why you want to marry someone you haven't even seen. For me, if there is no love, I rather stay alone."

"Allah! Rid me of that destiny. Jade why? To take care of other people's houses? Their children? That's a horrible destiny"

Jade just looked at her cousin confused.

"Jade your Uncle will see you now" said Zoraida and she led the way to a small private room where there stood a medium height old man wearing a long traditional blue robe.

"Oh, you must be Jade, come. Welcome to you home and family" Jade sat down with the man

"I just wanted to thank you for sending money for my mother's funeral"

"No. it was my duty. Now, I want to set some things clear. Although in this country there has been changes, in this house we live strictly by the laws that dictate the Koran. We live by the Prophet's word. Are we clear?

"Yes sir" Jade replied

"Do you want to study?" he asked. "Yes. A lot. I want to become a doctor" Jade smiled

"Here in the city, we have many good universities. You'll study, then well take care or your marriage"

Jade's smile faded. Marriage?

"Has your blood come down yet?" he asked.

"What?" Jade asked puzzled. "Oh my menstrual cycle?"

He nodded seriously.

"Yes"

"Then it will be convenient for you to wear a veil when you go outside or when you're in the presence of another man that is not your husband. The beauty of a woman has to be conserved only for her husband"

"Yes sir" Jade replied. And with that he bid her farewell and Jade left

The phone rang and Ali answered. "Arthur how is it that you come to Morocco without telling me? When did you arrive? No. Tonight I won't be able to, I have business to attend. But come to the house and we'll talk"

Yugi and Yami were in their room and their father had just entered.

"Boys are you ready? Hurry up because I don't want to miss the reservation"

"Yes. Give me 5 minutes" Yugi said. Getting up and changing his shirt.

When he took off his shirt. Solomon noticed something dark on Yugi's upper right shoulder.

A huge dark mole.

"Again that mole, it's getting bigger" he said inspecting it closer. "Yami let me see your shoulder" he said turning over to Yami.

"Has Arthur checked it?" he asked concerned

"No" replied Yugi

Solomon sighed. "It's important that you go and get those checked. When was the last time you did?"

"Calm down dad. Arthur said it's genetic. Mother also had it" Yami said

"Well anyway, hurry up, there's someone I want you two to meet" Solomon said while exiting the room.

Yami and Yugi were both outside on a balcony overlooking the city.

"Tonight is going to be so boring" Yami complained. "Dad's just going to be talking all night about the importation and exportation of foods"

"I wished the idea of clones were real. I would want two. One to study the law degree that I detest and the other to be in front of dad saying "Yes sir" so I can live my own life how I want it" Yugi confessed.

"Boys" cut in their father "I present to you Mai".

Yami was the first to turn around and what he saw made him sick. It was the same woman from last night! The one he kissed! And the one he slept with!

Mai in return, immediately recognized Yami and she suddenly became very tense and nervous, but she managed to fake a smile.

"You told me your kids where minors, since you would always call them "my boys" She spoke

"Yes because they are my boys" Solomon proudly said "To my right is Yami and to my left is Yugi. What's wrong?" he asked when he noticed Yami was staring and unmoving.

"Im Yugi. Pleasure to meet you" Yugi said with a smile. "Yami" Yami said coldly

Suddenly, Yami stormed off like a mad man. "Yami? Yami! Where are you going? What is wrong with your brother?" he asked Yugi, clearly not pleased with his behavior. Yugi just shrugged. "Yugi go and tell him to come here in 5 minutes" he ordered. Yugi obeyed.

Meanwhile, Yami was pacing back and forth and trying to breath.

"Yami what's wrong? Are you crazy?" Yugi asked once he reached Yami

"Yugi go call father, I have to warn him about Mai."

"Mai? Why? Yugi asked puzzeled.

"Because she's the woman I slept with last night. It's her" Yami confessed

Inside the apartment…..

"She's a cynical! What are you waiting for? Call him!" Yami ordered Yugi

"Are you crazy? Yami what are you going to say? Dad I slept with your fiancée last night. No, we can't do that" Yugi explained

"Then what do we do?! Let him see the face of an idiot? Yami said frustrated

"No. Yami we can't jump to conclusions" Yugi said

"What?" Yami said in disbelief "I can't believe what I'm hearing. Yugi that woman is any. You know what? Im embarrassed to have the same face as you. You won't look for him? Then I will" he said leaving

But Yugi stopped him with his body. "Yami stop! You're out of control!" he tried to reason with him

"Let me go!" Yami said angry. But they both tumbled to the floor and Yugi quickly got up, got out, and locked Yami inside with the key card. "Yugi come back! Open the door!"

Outside, Hawkins was arguing with a taxi driver in Arabic.

"DAD!" Yugi screamed when he got outside. However it was too late.

"Where have you two been? Your father left furious. Here take this taxi" he offered

" . I don't want to go to that dinner with dad" Yugi said. He turned around and noticed the two men arguing again.

"Alright. It's done. I'm going to Ali's house." Hawkins said getting into the car.

"I'll go with you" Yugi said jumping in too.

Yugi and Arthur were walking in the streets. Yugi was amazed by everything around them: the people, the shops, and the exoticness. It was so different from home. Suddenly, he felt someone grab his shoulder.

"Careful or you'll get lost. There are millions of streets" the doctor warned.

"But this is such a beauty" Yugi complimented

"How does it look more sensual?" asked Latifa wrapping a gold veil around her head.

"Like this" Zoraida said as she correctly placed the veil around her head.

Latifa giggled.

"Latifa!" Jade said running inside the room. In one of her hands was a long blue skirt with intricate patterns of gold woven around the waist and gold chains dangling from the waist down and in her other hand, was the top piece, a bra that was made from the same material and color and also had long gold chains dangling from the front.

"What is this?" she asked amazed

"It's for the belly dance Jade" Latifa explained "Zoraida gave to to me. The day I get married, I'm going to dance for my husband and drive him crazy"

Zoraida nodded "you should see the things I bought for her, all transparent and with sequences. A woman has to know how to attract a man. Oh, your mother sure danced beautifully Jade, there was no one like her"

"Mother showed me the dance" Jade said

"Well then put it on and dance for us" Latifa said "Go". Jade immediately ran out of the room.

In another part of the house, Arthur and Ali where sitting in the luxurious couches, smoking, and eating. While, Yugi was looking around the house fascinated by the complexity of the house and its possessions.

"And are you still obsessed with the idea of yours about creating clones, Arthur?" Ali asked

"Yes" replied Arthur

Ali chuckled "Fabricator of clones. You're playing with fire. Creating a life is something sacred. Only god has the power to do so and that's what you're trying to do, you want to stop being creature to become creator." Ali warned

"All this is going to be fixed by the laws of ethics" Arthur said

"The laws of ethics? Don't be elusive Arthur! In the occidental, the only rules that exists are of money" Ali countered.

"Why is it that you always go against me!? What does occidental and orient have to do with cloning?" Arthur got up and challenged Ali

"I know both cultures! Arthur, you know it just as well as I do"

"Ha! And when you used to live over there you didn't talk like that" Arthur continued.

In their bickering, none of them realized that Yugi had wandered off further into the house

"Latifa! Latifa!" Zoraida called. Latifa appeared

"They're guests of your uncle Ali. Where's Jade?" she questioned

"She looks divine! Come let's put her music" she chirped as she turned on the music.

Not far from there, Yugi was admiring a rug that was hanging on the wall, when all of the sudden he heard music and clapping. Curious about where it was coming from, he let himself follow the strange, but sweet music.

In the meantime, Jade had just entered the room. Now, she was dressed in the blue dancing outfit, with her long brown hair down, and moving her hips to the music. Behind her, she carried a blue veil moving it along with her and circling it around in the air as she turned.

Yugi was now getting closer and closer to the music and soon he saw a large room with some doors opened and over them hung long, transparent coverings. Yugi cautiously moved closer to the door, concealing himself behind one of the coverings, and took a look inside

What he saw made his heart stop.

In front of him was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life. She was wearing a long blue skirt with gold sequins and gold chains dangling from the skirt and she was also wearing a matching bra. She was dancing to the music, moving her hips and doing impressive maneuvers with a blue veil, and the most breathtaking smile was on her face. Yugi couldn't keep his eyes off of her. He was mesmerized. He was a goner.

The music was slowly coming to an end and the girl was finishing her dance by putting the blue veil to her face, just below her eyes, and moving her head side to side. Yugi slowly pulled over to the side the covering and at that moment, their eyes met. The girl froze, but she dropped her veil, revealing herself.

Brown eyes met purple eyes.

Both were standing there looking at each other intensely, and a small smile was on her lips.

A/N: Wooohhhoooooo! This took forever, but it was worth it!Love at first sight! More chapters will be added soon! Stay tuned to see what happens after this destined encounter!
