So, this is the one I really wanted to write about. It goes into some fun stuff that I created for Asenath's past. And I do ask that people please be mature about their comments, if they have any on the dynamics of Asenath and Atem that I mentioned in this. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of its characters. I only have Ebony and Asenath.


Seto Kaiba watched as the young woman who lived with him and his brother stared intently at the laptop screen in front of her. Her eyes were wide with excitement, while her mouth was slightly agape, as though she'd been surprised by something. Her free hand fiddled with the bracelet he'd given her for her fifteenth birthday, the bracelet that had started all his troubles with ancient Egyptian mystical crap that he couldn't bring himself to believe. Even when the persona that was Asenath came out, Seto still found it difficult to believe what he was seeing. It was easier for him when Asenath didn't show herself because then he could act like the bracelet was not a Millennium Item that contained an ancient spirit.

"Whatcha looking' at, Ebony?" Mokuba asked from where he was seated across their room on the airship heading to KaibaCorp. Island for the Battle City finals.

"I've been doing some more research on ancient Egyptian history, especially after Seto could read what was on the Winged Dragon of Ra card. I've found some really interesting information that Asenath hadn't told me about before."

"My ability to read what was on that card has nothing to do with the ancient past," Seto protested, already displeased with how this conversation was going.

"You used to like Egyptian history, Seto. This isn't mythology or anything like what Yugi and his friends are always trying to convince you of. These are straight facts."

"Well, what did you find?" Mokuba inquired, clearly interested in what the young woman had found in her research. This actually surprised Ebony, as Mokuba had never really been one for history, but she was happy to have someone interested in what she was doing. She turned her attention back to the screen of her computer and scrolled back up to the notes she'd been taking.

"As it turns out, Ishizu was right. At least in part. She said that Seto was the reincarnation of a priest in ancient Egypt. I can't say if that's actually true or not, but there really was a priest named Seto, after the Egyptian god Set. He was a member of the pharaoh's secret court, and according to a number of hieroglyphs, he looked a lot like our Seto. After the death of the pharaoh, whom I'm guessing is the spirit in the Millennium Puzzle, Priest Seto became the new pharaoh. Pretty cool, huh?"

"Why was he chosen as pharaoh?"

"People argue over that a lot. Most historians say that there's really no way to be certain. Some think that he defeated the pharaoh in some kind of a duel, earning the right to become the next ruler, should the current pharaoh not have an heir. Others think that he was given the position of power by the pharaoh himself before he died due to some special bond between them. Asenath tells me that they were good friends and Priest Seto was one of her brother's most trusted companions."

"So this priest was made a king because he and the previous king were friends? Doubtful," Seto commented, sounding as though he was disinterested. Ebony could tell otherwise. As much as Seto liked to deny any relation to the ancient past, she knew he still found the history intriguing.

"That's what Asenath tells me. Now, here's the kicker. This part surprised me after I put it all together. See, Asenath was betrothed to the current pharaoh, her twin brother."

"What? Why?" Mokuba asked, sounding appalled.

"That's how royalty was kept in those days. You had to keep you royal line pure. So, the two of them were betrothed and were to be married after her brother officially became pharaoh. Had to go through all the ceremonies and fun stuff. Well, as it turns out, they never actually got married. They never had the chance to because that huge 'end of the world' scheme that the pharaoh had to deal with happened before they could wed. So he sealed away the Millennium Items and then died, his spirit residing in the Puzzle, all before he and Asenath were actually husband and wife."

"What does this have to do with the priest?" Seto inquired and Ebony bit back a smile, knowing she'd read him like a book.

"It has a lot to do with him. See, Asenath became Priest Seto's advisor while he was pharaoh. At least, that's how it was at first. After some time, though the historians disagree on when, she became his wife and ruled alongside him. She bore him two children and he was buried in the Valley of the Kings. So Asenath's past really ties in a lot with Priest Seto's life. I thought it was kind of funny, considering she's now met two men by the name Seto and both of you always use Blue Eyes White Dragon."

"That doesn't mean anything," Seto protested.

"I never said it did, Seto," Ebony answered. "I'm just saying that it's a very interesting coincidence. And that you should give Asenath a little bit more credit and respect when she's around. She was the queen, after all." Seto Kaiba rolled his eyes and returned to looking at his deck. He needed to make sure it was perfect for his upcoming duels. He would need it to have only the strongest monsters and best trap cards if he was going to defeat Yugi. As he turned the deck over in his hands, the first card he saw was the Blue Eyes White Dragon.

From across the room, Ebony sneezed.


I kinda feel like I need to explain why I ended this chapter the way I did. See, you know how they say that you sneeze when someone is talking about you? I used that, a little bit. Seto was looking down at the Blue Eyes White Dragon card, and in these stories with Ebony, I've made her the reincarnation of Kisara, but she actually has black hair instead of white. Anyway, by staring at Blue Eyes White Dragon, Seto was thinking of that card, which meant he was thinking of Kisara, which meant he was thinking of Ebony. Ebony is Blue Eyes... kinda. lol. So, that's why I had the sneezing bit at the end. I just thought it'd be cute and funny.

Anyway, please R&R.
