The Beauty of Them
Chapter Three
~Seto POV~
Why is that strange blonde boy still awake. I wonder why? It isn't his time for his shift… I looked towards Akefia, and noticed him asleep. Idiot. Well that explains things. So, having no choice, and actually a tid-bit afraid that the blonde had fallen asleep and we were going to be attacked at any moment, I sneakily made my way to him.
"You're very loud, Preist Seto," Jou said suddenly, scaring me and making me jump. After I had controlled my heart pace, I lowered my head and walked to him, no longer trying to be sneaky. Damn. He made me look stupid. "Any reason as to why you're be awake?" He asked. He sounded really tired.
"Woke up without reason," I replied. I casually sat down next to him. I think he needs someone to talk to. He seems a bit… lonely? He grunted softly, his eyes still transfixed and flickering from left to right. "I-," I was cut off with a loud shushing noise. No one shushes me. No one! (D.S.: Insert epic Kaiba roar here) I tried to talk again, but he shushed me again and moved to a kneeling position. He slowly started moving out into the night. A flame was flickering off in the distance. He then turned to me and beckoned to me to wake up Akefia. I shook him quickly, and quietly, clamping my hand over his mouth when he woke up. He glared at me.
I put a finger to my mouth and told him to watch the camp. Then I started following Jou, who was sneaking his way to the flame in the distance. When we came to a slope that sheltered the small camp, it was then that I realized there was only one person there. I heard Jou gasp quietly to himself before springing to his feet. I was surprised. IDIOT! YOU DON'T DO THAT! I was tempted to yell.
I saw him running towards a darker blonde haired man, yet oddly, the two had many things familiar with each other. Their hair was the same, the way they held themselves was the same, and even the way they walked looked the same. Were they related? I watched as Jou pulled his sword free from it's sheath. He always kept it out of it's case now, saying he didn't like being vulnerable at night. Smart. I watched as the other man turned around, his own sword brandished and the two struck each other. Jou looked happier than I have seen of him yet. Maybe they are related. Then, at the same time, they both dropped their swords and pulled each other into an embrace. I think they are brothers. Right?
~**~
I started crying about the moment our swords clashed, my goofy grin stretched across my face. The look on his face. He was first angry, then shock, and then joy filtered onto his face. God, that idiot. Scaring me like that. Then he pulled me into the brotherly arms that I had missed for three years now. Thank god.
"Thank Ra you're alive," He whispered first. Then my anger kicked in and I regretfully pulled out of our hug and smacked on the back of the head.
"Jerk! I thought you were dead! And are you insane? Traveling on your own the desert?" This was about the time Seto walked up behind me. He tapped me on the shoulder.
"Who is this?"
"This? This is my big brother Jono! He ain't dead!" I was now even more happy. What is with this strange turn in good luck? Oh well!
"Jou? Who is this? He looks like royalty," I bashfully rubbed the back of my neck at this.
"He is…" I whispered quietly.
"Oh! So you're a bodyguard for royalty, too? So am I. I wonder if he's awake? Heba! (HELL YES BIATCHES! HEBA ISH HERE!) Heba! You might know this guy!" Then a rustling was heard and I quickly glanced behind me. Seto was frozen stiff as a rock. I wonder why?
Then a very short person stepped out of the small make-shift tent. And He looked just like Yuugi. .Hell? Doppelgangers to the maximum. Then I was a blur of brown and dark blue flash by me before Seto was by Heba's side looking him over. This Heba, was shocked.
"Seto?" He asked quietly. Awwww! He even sounds like Yuugi!
"Yes, Heba," Seto quietly replied. Were they… lovers? For some strange reason this thought made me jealous. For a second. Then that was gone.
"Jono! You and Heba should come with us the the rest of the group! If Seto knows him, than the others will! We're all going to the Palace. I know that's where you're going, if he's royalty," I said and Jono casted a glance to Heba. Heba looked back before timidly asking.
"Who else is with you?" I turned to Seto and he nodded.
"Mokuba, me, Marik, Bakura, and Akefia," With this, Heba nodded and they quickly packed their camp up. I sprinted ahead, telling them I'd wake everyone up. They nodded. I was soon at the camp. Kicking awake the three semi-royalty and gently shaking Mokuba to wake him up. Then I woke my three friends.
"What the hell is going on? You better not have lost Seto!" Bakura growled. I shook my head furiously before I pointed over from the direction I came from. We all saw a small little flame in the distance, it was moving. They looked at me and then Yuugi and Ryou squealed while Malik just looked confused.
"Jou! Is it him?" Yuugi and Ryou asked, rolling on the balls of their feet. I just nodded dumbly, still smiling brightly.
"And someone extra. I'm not sure about his story though, but something tells me you'll like what's about to happen," I then sat down. Soon Heba was running through our camp, throwing little handfuls of dirt at Seto and Jono, who just smiled deftly. What just happened.
"Heba?" I heard Marik ask. Then a little squeal was heard and that signaled Heba being tackled by three very big men, compared to him.
"You're talking now. Heba, you're apparently dead," Bakura said bluntly after everyone had sat in a circle around the fire. Yuugi and Heba sat next to each other. If it weren't for their skin color, you wouldn't be able to tell them apart.
"Alright. So the day my caravan and I were traveling, the giant bird that burnt it down had kidnapped me before he could do any real damage. Then, whilst the bird was away, Jono had inhabited his cave, his home. He was awake when he saw the bird fly in and hid. Slaying the beast in his sleep and rescuing me. Do you think Atem still wants me? Do you think he'll be able to still love me?" he turned to Seto and the other royalty.
He and the pharaoh were lovers? Woah. Weird.
"Of course he will. We'll be there by the new moon if we hurry." Seto replied. This was great. The new moon was in a few days. Heba decided to talk again. Cheery boy.
"Why are you here, Seto? Mokuba?" Then the horrible silence once again came to place in our peaceful little group. Ryou spoke up again, telling his quick version of their lives and why they were here.
"So..." Heba started, looking from Ryou to Seto and Mokuba. "You guys are presumed dead, too?" He recieved a nod. Then he nodded.
"Jono. Tell me what happened," I asked my brother, who was sitting next to me, polishing his sword.
"In simple, that man nearly beat me to death and threw me out in the desert to fend for myself. I was lucky to stumble across a small oasis and fixed myself there. Then I went back, and while he was gone, searched for you to no advail and then took a few of my things, hoping you had run away. I'm glad I was right," Jono smiled before stretching. "Time for bed!" He yawned and just fell back into the sand, falling asleep instantly. Akefia grumbled before going tt he spot where he wouold stay watch, saying that mine was already ver and he might as well do something useful. The rest of us laughed before falling asleep.
D.S.: I FINISHED! WOOT! CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT CHAPTER! Why? Cause it's the epic reunion. I love reunions. I also love the epic not-so-detailed (cause I fail) dance that the four do. Ya see. The group wants to keep Seto, Mokuba, and Heba a surprise. So yeah. I love surprises too!
J.S.S: We think that this story might be… twenty chapters long? Maybe…. Okay never mind. Ten. Ten chapters at least.
D.S.: Well, then give me more ideas! I got up till like chapter six ready in my mind! (all I have to do is type them) But after that… ohhhhh. Never mind. I have an idea. And I'll tell you later.
