Hello! I'm posting two chapters in a row because this is the only way to calm my muse! Please enjoy! Onward!

Note, I'm going to write a key for my writing now:

"speaking in Japanese'

"speaking in Egyptian"

''Thinking in Egyptian"

~Recap~

Yugi saw the royal palace, and saw Diabound heading right towards it.

'I hope this works…' Yugi thought before heading right towards Diabound.

~End Recap~

"You ready, Yugi?" Seto asked as they captured the attention of the threat to Kemet.

Yugi smiled. He could always rely on Seto, like Atem could rely on Seth. "Yeah, I am." He replied, sending a reassuring smile to Seto. "Arigatou," He said. Seto nodded his head and smiled.

Yugi turned back towards Diabound and took a deep breath. With a voice that was known only to him, The King of Games, he called upon his most trusted and powerful card.

"I call upon you, my loyal servant, my faithful friend! Come forth, Dark Magician of Chaos!" Yugi, his hand raised in the air, commanded. A bright light came forth, and as it faded, all those watching (The Pharaoh and his Priests) saw a Duel Monster that looked like Mahado, oddly enough.

The royal court was brought back when they heard Diabound screech once more. Yugi took this as a sign and began to attack.

"Are you ready, my friend?" Yugi asked Dark Magician, who nodded its head to Yugi, a look of trust any loyalty in his eyes.

Yugi nodded to himself. "Very well then." Yugi turned his attention to the now approaching Diabound. "Seto, be careful. Things might get a bit blowy." Seto laughed, and Yugi smirked.

"Dark Magician of Chaos, go! Dark Magic Attack!" Yugi commanded, and Dark Magician obeyed. His scepter raised, dark energy began to from in a large sphere before it was thrown towards Diabound.

Diabound used his own sphere of energy to counter attack, but it was too weak, and thus was destroyed as it was enveloped in the black light.

As the light faded, Diabound was no longer there, and Yugi sighed in relief. He looked back to Seto, who nodded in return, and began to head towards the royal palace, where the two could see their friends waiting for them. Dark Magician followed suit, to make sure his precious Master would not be harmed.

Yugi and Seto leaped off Blue Eyes and landed gracefully onto the ground. Seto pet his Blue-Eyes, assuring it of its good work, before he dismissed it for the time being.

The two duelists heard footsteps, and looked towards the sound of them. Yugi looked up, and saw the Pharaoh. He stared up at him, his eyes strong. His gaze never wavered as crimson bore into his how amethyst.

When Atem saw who had defeated Diabound, he was surprised. The man looked exactly like himself, except for his pale skin. Also, his clothes were different. He wore blue pants, a black muscle tank-top shirt, and a blue jacket, the same shade of his pants, hanging off his shoulders. He had a collar of some sort with spikes around it, and had bracelets on his wrists like the one on his neck. He had a strange contraption on his lower right arm.

Standing right next to him was the exact replica of his cousin Seth. He blinked as he saw the uncanny resemblance, being able to tell they were somehow twins, despite the other man's strange clothes. He wore black pants, a black long sleeved-shirt, and a white coat that went to his ankles that had no sleeves. He, too, was wearing that strange contraption on his right arm.

Bringing his attention back to his own look-a-like, the man was now bowing, along with the Seth look-a-like. "Pharaoh," The Seth-look-a-like man greeted with respect.

"Rise," Atem replied calmly, even though he was shaken up on the inside.

The man rose, and Atem saw the man's amethyst eyes. He was as tall as Atem was, and held an aura of calmness and strength, demanding respect from those around him.

"What is your name?" The Pharaoh asked, eying the man before him. Seth's look-a-like was the one to respond.

"Pharaoh, my name is Kaiba Seto, and he is Mutou Yugi-Oh." Seth's look-a-like, now known as Seto, answered.

Atem raised an eyebrow. "'Yugi-Oh'?" He asked. Seto just nodded.

A smirk adorned the Pharaoh's face. "Oh, really? I'd like to see if that were true sometime."

Yugi nodded, and everything was silent before someone called Yugi's name.

"Yugi!" Everybody turned towards the source of the voice. It was Ryou.

Atem immediately tensed, seeing the exact copy of Bakura before him. Out of the corner of his eye, Atem saw Bakura looking in curiosity and disbelief as he saw his own look-a-like rushing towards Yugi.

"Yugi!" Ryou cried, enveloping his friend in a hug. "I was so worried! You used his most powerful attack, and the after affects were amazing." Ryou caught his breath and let go of his closest friend before talking again, oblivious to the Pharaoh and High Priests.

"It was really funny, too. I told Marik that he should be careful, because there were going to be after affects, but he didn't listen. So, when the massive wind came, I held onto a street pole, and Marik flew back straight through the middle of the street! He deserved it, too." Ryou harrumphed, causing Yugi to chuckle.

"Well, then he deserved it. What of the others?" Yugi asked. The Pharaoh and his High Priests blinked. Yugi had a deep baritone voice, and a pleasant one at that.

Ryou sighed. "Honda and Jou were helping to calm some of the people, and say that they're going to stay there a while. They'll meet up with us later. Our house was destroyed, too." Yugi nodded, sighing at the fact that he was now homeless, and turned his head to see Marik came running, an irritated look on his face.

"Damn wind. I swear Yugi, even Ra would fuss at the after affects you make with your summons." Marik told him, after catching his breath. He pointedly ignored the badly kept chuckles coming from Ryou.

Atem inwardly sighed. He didn't believe it was possible to be ignored, being Pharaoh, but the gods brought surprises everyday.

He cleared his throat, gaining the three four time-travelers' attention.

"Well then," He said. "For now, you may stay with us, as you are shelter less. " Yugi nodded his thanks. Atem then turned his attention to Bakura. "You are allowed to stay, Bakura, and may leave whenever you want, freely."

Bakura shook his head. "Thanks for the offer, but I won't. Staying here may be nice and all, but not if you're a wanted criminal. Besides," He said, the night wind ruffling his hair. He turned to face the group. "I'm not meant to be here, and the wind's calling me in another direction."

Ryou flinched at that, garnering the attention of the group.

"Ryou?" Yugi asked in Japanese, worried. "Are you alright?" Yugi ignored the looks of confusion from the royal council as faced Ryou.

"I am," Ryou replied. "It's just… those were the words he spoke before… before he left." Ryou's eyes held a deep pain within them, and Yugi instantly knew why. Ryou and Bakura had shared such a deep connection with Bakura, as Yugi had with Atem, even though it seemed as if Bakura was always forcing control.

"I know how you feel, Ryou," Yugi replied, putting a reassuring hand on Ryou's shoulder. "Though you may not believe it, my connection was deeper than yours." Ryou looked up, surprised, pain evident in his eyes. Yugi smiled at his friend, though it was filled with pain, and everyone present could tell. "I still miss him everyday, am always thinking about him, calling him, wishing he were here with me. But," Yugi sighed, closing his eyes for a brief moment. When he opened them again, they were filled with wisdom, and some of the pain remained. "It cannot be. I wish it could happen, but since it can't, I always remember that he's right here," Yugi put a hand over his heart. 'Mou hitori no boku.' Yugi thought to himself, smiling at Ryou.

Even though Atem and his Priests couldn't understand what the two were saying, they knew it was a touchy subject and, unless the look-a-likes spoke of it themselves, would not speak of it.

It was then that Bakura made himself known again. No one had seed or heard how Bakura had gotten that close to Ryou, but when he did, it scared Ryou.

"Oi, are you okay?" Bakura asked, suddenly in Ryou's face. Ryou jumped, not seeing or hearing his yami approach him.

After he had calmed down his racing heart, he responded to Bakura's question. "Don't worry, I'm fine," Ryou told him in a soft voice with a smile. Bakura blinked when Ryou smiled, but he soon returned the smile himself, shocking the rest of the group, minus Yugi and Marik. As hikaris themselves, they knew the pain that Ryou was going through, as they were feeling it for themselves.

"It is getting late," Isis spoke up, the mother figure of them all. "I suggest you go rest," She said, motioning towards the group if time-travelers and Bakura. They nodded, and Atem called for a servant to lead them to their rooms.

Only when inside his new chambers did Yugi bring down his mask. It had been difficult, extremely difficult for Yugi not to go and hug Atem, despite his age. He had missed hid yami so much. A part of him was happy that he got to see him again, but the other half would have preferred not to be sent back into the past where Atem couldn't remember him or their special bond.

There was a knock on the door, breaking Yugi out of his reverie. He put on his mask again before calling out, "Come in." The door opened, revealing Seto, who slipped in quietly.

"Seto," Yugi greeted in a small voice, not bothering to keep his mask up in front of one of his most trusted friends. He walked to the balconies that came with his room and stepped outside. It was a nice night; not too hot, not too cold.

"Yugi," Seto said softly, walking up the King of Games. "Its alright, you can let it out.

And with that, the tears began to fall, silent but true.

Atem and his Priests were discussing what had just happened before. They were, coincidentally, right underneath Yugi's balcony. There was a door leading to an outdoor patio which they had opened to let in some air. It was a pleasant night, and they all knew they had better get comfortable; they were going to be here for a while.

Isis and Mahado were discussing something when Atem put a hand up. They quieted immediately, waiting to see why they had been quieted so suddenly.

Atem put a finger to his mouth, and they all listened.

"Yugi," A voice said. It was Seto, Seth's look-a-like. "Its alright, you can let it out."

The members of the royal court were confused. What was Seto talking about. It wasn't until Yugi began talking did they get a hint as to what the two were talking about.

"Did you see it, Seto?" Yugi began, his voice going higher (It always does when he's truly upset. And the voice sounds like Yami's voice from Season Zero, if anyone was wondering.) "It was kind of surprising, but the way Bakura was reacting to Ryou while he was in pain, it was almost as if it was our Bakura talking, don't you think?" Yugi. Seto must have nodded, because Yugi soon continued on.

"It kind of feels unfair." Yugi said, and those listening below could hear the extreme sadness in his voice. "I know that he wouldn't be able to remember me, but seeing Ryou like that with Bakura brought back memories, Seto. Painful memories. Memories I wish to never remember." Yugi's voice was starting to shake, and the Pharaoh of Egypt and his High Priests could only wonder what or who had caused such a reaction in the powerful figure they had just seen.

Seto watched as Yugi talked. He knew Yugi needed someone to talk to, as soon as he heard him say the words, 'My connection was deeper than yours,'. He could tell that this was killing the young Game King inside, and the best way to make him feel better, in Seto's opinion, was to talk about it. It was what he did with an upset Mokuba.

"Yugi," Seto said softly again, now embracing his friend. He would be there for Yugi, as Yugi had been for him.

"I wish he would remember me, Seto," Yugi cried quietly, unaware of his listeners below. "I miss him so much; it's as if my soul was ripped in half. It feels so empty inside, like its hollow." Yugi grabbed Seto's shirt. It was at times like this Seto was glad he was taller than Yugi; if they had been the same height, he wouldn't have been able to bear the look of sadness on Yugi's face.

"Shh, it's alright," Seto comforted, rocking the tri-haired boy in his arms, relying on his experience to help his shorter friend. "At least you get to see him, right? That's better than never seeing him again, isn't it?"

"I guess," Yugi replied. "But the greater part of me wishes we hadn't come here; I mean, what happened? We were having a friendly game, and it was even better because Marik was in town. And once the duel was over, we'd all go out for pizza or hamburgers, and Jou would've gotten sick from eating too much, and Honda would have had to take him home. But that didn't happen. We somehow ended up here…" Yugi had finally calmed down, and fell asleep in Seto's arms.

Seto sighed in relief; from time to time, it would be just be Yugi and him, and one of them would come clean with their troubles. So, when Yugi fell asleep in his arms, Seto wasn't surprised. As he did with Mokuba, he changed Yugi out of his clothes into pajamas, (which had been provided, thankfully) and took off the spiked collar and bracelets. (Seto sighed, he didn't know where it came from; he assumed it was Atem, because of he wore the spike collars, but he had seen Yugi before Atem had come into their lives and saw that he had the spiked collars and bracelets as well.)

"I miss him a lot," Yugi said, loud enough for the audience below to hear (Yes, Seto knew). "My other self…" and with that, Yugi fell completely asleep.

Seto chuckled. Yugi was funny that way; tough on the inside, warm and friendly on the inside. It was how he had made so many friends.

Putting Yugi in his bed, Seto silently walked over to the open balcony and listened.

"Is that it?" He heard Isis ask.

"Yes, it is." Seto said. He smirked, knowing that they had frozen up, shocked.

"How, you ask? First off, you stopped talking. There was a steady stream of discussion, but it was abruptly cut off. Another thing: You don't get to be a leader if you don't notice the small things." Seto explained, silently laughing to himself when he heard Atem mutter to himself.

He looked over to Yugi, who had silent tears running down his face, obviously crying from a memory of Atem.

Seto growled, not caring if those below heard him or not. "I swear upon Ra, the two of them really are from the same coin… troublesome tri-haired game masters…" Seto mumbled to himself, closing the balcony so Yugi wouldn't catch a cold. He blew out the candle in Yugi's room, taking his own candle with him and shutting the door before heading back to his own room for the night.

And that's it! Once again, please review.

P.s. I would have described how the pajamas looked, but I couldn't get the image of a cartooned Spock out of my head with brown hair in a toga with sleeves. Lol. Epic Fail.
