A/N: Hello everyone! Here's a couple quick notes about this. This has honestly been in the working for years. Yes, years. And it sadly started out as a huge crossover (pleas picture a little ten year old me obsessed with Pokemon, Digimon, Card Captors and Yu-Gi-Oh! dubs all at the same time and you'll see the mayhem). But the kinks have been wrinkled out, a lot has changed and now it's only Yu-Gi-Oh with a dash of Final Fantasy. And it's hardly noticeable. Please enjoy and review.

Disclaimer: I own nothing in this story. (Actually I did make up quite a few characters in this chapter but I'm keeping the lawyers away :P)

~About 18 years ago~

Leon Bakura waited patiently in the hospital lobby. He kept saying a couple prayers for his wife. She was having quadruplets and this was life threatening. It wouldn't be so life threatening if Leon and Sakura were human. This Bakura family was Duel Monster, as they are now called. No Duel Monster had ever delivered quadruplets where all the babies and the mother survived, at least within memory. Perhaps it had happened, but that would have been ages ago.

The young intern came out. Leon looked into ice blue eyes behind square glasses. The intern was smiling. "Please come in. Your wife and sons are waiting." Leon felt a wave of relief as he entered.

Sakura was in the bed, tired and sweaty, but smiling. Leon went over to her immediately. "How are you?"

"I'm fine. Tired and a little in pain, but fine. Oh Leon, go look at the four they're beautiful."

Leon walked over to four tiny beds. He smiled down upon them. Four sons with curiously white hair. He looked at the names: Ryou, Angelus, Haku and Lance.

Leon looked up as the doctor came in holding a piece of paper. "Mr. and Mrs. Bakura, I'm afraid I have some bad news."

"What is it?" Sakura asked frightened.

"Two of the babies, Haku and Ryou, have the Black Constricter." The intern's jaw dropped, 'The only terminal disease reserved for our kind affecting children? How?'

Leon gasped "Is it affecting them now? How long do they have?"

"No, it's not affecting them now, but we detected it in their blood. Mrs. Bakura, I believe you said there was a history in it in your family."

She nodded "Yes, the damn thing strangled my father and his brother to death. But that affected them later in life. Their lungs were functioning perfectly until it reared it's ugly head."

"Haku and Ryou will both get it later in life, Haku later than Ryou. Just be aware and watch for symptoms." Sakura nodded at the doctor's orders.

A nurse entered the room, "You and the little ones have visitors." she chirped happily. Two children almost ran in. The first was eight-year old Angel, the eldest child, and his younger brother Sora, age five. Leon grinned at his two sons and led the over to their younger brothers.

An Egyptian man and a pale, blond woman entered. His jade eyes were warm as they regarded the room. The woman went over to Sakura, her blue eyes an ocean of emotion. She walked slow as her stomach was also large with child.

Sakura smiled "Get tired of watching them? Thank you, by the way, for everything, Catalina."

"It's no problem, Sakura. Besides, Antonio chased them." Catalina had traces of a European accent, with hints of some American tones.

"Do you ever call your husband Antony?"

"No, Antonio is much better, it suits him."

"Your child is due soon right?"

"Yes. Speaking of children, I can't wait to see all six of them in one house. It'll be a riot."

Sakura's face fell. Six children. Six defenseless children. In one spot. Hunters tracked children to capture them early and mold them to their will. They could also get the adults. Trapping each individual in a different card, separating them until some magic user freed them. No, the risk was too high. She couldn't take six home. Maybe four. But what could she do? 'Think Sakura, you're a Magician's Valkyrie, you must have something up your sleeve.' Then it hit her

"Leon," Sakura called to her husband. Leon walked over and sat beside

"What is it darling?"

"We can't take them all home. It's too dangerous."

Leon eyes cast downward "I was thinking that as well."

"I was thinking of sending two back in time, then on dates we decide on, they will return when they're older and stronger."

Catalina snorted, "That sounds miserable, but I suppose it's your best option since you refuse to move onto the Sanctuary with me and Antonio."

Leon turned to her " It's no offense to you or him. My bloodline has instilled a sense of pride in me that refuses to relent. Please, understand defending me and my family is my duty and I refuse to put that on my friends."

"Suit yourself, you stubborn man." Antonio said before his wife could retort. Antonio spoke Japanese nearly perfectly, as he was half Japanese. His Egyptian descent did give him a slight accent.

Sakura looked at the babies. "Which one of you to send?" She looked at Ryou. The Black Constrictor would come earlier in his life, leaving him more fragile. If he had to suffer, she wanted it to be at home. Haku also had the disease. Angelus was strong and healthy, he could survive in the ancient times. She picked him first. However, picking a second was harder. While Lance was healthy, he was also the smallest. She picked him up. His little eyes opened a bit to reveal a pure silver unlike anything else. Sakura gasped "Oh, how pretty." Leon saw as well. His reaction was one of shock. "He must stay with us." Sakura was surprised at her husband's reaction. He knew something, but she didn't want to press the matter. She looked at Haku. Yes, he could survive long enough.

Sakura and Leon quickly picked out dates for the two to return and which dates and places to send them. They prepared the spell and said quiet goodbyes. Angel and Sora looked sadly at the ground. Catalina looked like she was pouting in the corner. Antonio tried to console her, saying he understood they're reasoning.

After the spell was complete Sakura and Leon got ready to go home. Sakura came up to the intern before she left, "Will you be our family doctor, good sir? I think you show great promise."

"Yes, anything for you."

"Thank you."

Catalina caught the same young man on her way out. "When I deliver, you better be in the room. You have good bedside manner and are nice. I know you're not used to humans, but it's just the same."

"Yeah, sure thing." The intern smiled.

"Good boy!" She said leaving

Antonio touched his shoulder, "You'll have to excuse her, she's crazy, even for a Tana. But she is correct."

"Sir, I consider it an honor to serve the Bakuras and you and your wife. I only have respect for you, even if she is blunt."

"Thank you, young man." Antonio smiled.

A/N: Yay, Chapter 1 is done! I promise no more hospital scenes for a while and next chapter we follow those babies who went through time. Yes, this chapter was short, but it's the best place for a break. Chapter 2 up very soon!
