Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh, but I personally think that the people who
do should track down and stalk the authors of Tea/Seto fics!!
A/N: Wow. O.O I didn't really expect such a response from you people about my thoughts on closing this fic. You've all really helped to inspire me! I mean! I just can't give up now!! Not with all the Tea/Seto fics appearing and the decreasing of Yami/Seto fics! We Yami/Seto authors and authoresses must continue and prevail over the evil Tea fans!! I can't just start a fic and stop! Yeah! Thank you all for your warm support. I know this fic isn't all angsty and stuff like Silent Tears, but I planned it that way. It was supposed to be on a lighter note of things. I'm sorry if some of you don't get what happened in Yami and Seto's past but I'm planning on clearing that up with the writing of Six Petals, the last of the Silent Tears trilogy and in actuality, the prequel. Another thing that has fueled my determination, I JUST BOUGHT THE KAIBA AND YUGI STARTER DECKS!!!! Yeah Me!!! ^-^

Seto got up from his seat and walked over to where Bakura stood. Sure enough, three giant golden pyramids loomed in the horizon; each one sending chills down his spine. Something about those creations pulled at the back of his memories. A loud squawk from upstairs reminded Seto that he had left Kenori locked up in his room all night. "Well, Bakura's definitely right about those pyramids." Joey groaned and sank down into the couch, "Let me guess. We have ta go in there and check em out." Seto ignored the blonde's complaining and left the room, heading to his bedroom to get Kenori. He had a distinct feeling he'd need her on this journey.
When he got back down stairs with the annoyed dragon perched on his shoulder, he found the others already split into groups. Orb smiled up at him as he reentered the room and petted Kenori on the neck. "Orb, Mokuba, and Honda are going to try to find out how to send the wild monsters back to the Shadow Realm. Joey and Bakura will be going to the farthest pyramid, Ryou and Yugi are going to the closest, and you and I will be going to the one between the two. That way we can check what is inside those pyramids and not have to do it alone," Yami said and smiled at Seto, who just nodded absent-mindedly. Then Seto suddenly noticed three of the people were left out in Yami's instructions. Where had Seth, Kaiba, and Neko disappeared off too? As if to answer his very thoughts, Yami frowned and whispered, "Seth took our moment of organization to his advantage and bolted off somewhere. Kaiba and Neko decided to hunt him down before he can do any damage."
Seto smiled gratefully and nodded his approval. Sometimes Kaiba would worry him. The demon seemed to take sides very easily. "Big brother, be careful." Seto smiled down at Mokuba and pulled the boy into a quick hug. "Orb, take good care of Mokuba. Don't you let him get hurt or I swear you'll learn just how much alike Seth and I can be at times." The mage nodded nervously and pulled Mokuba to his side, "Don't worry, Seto. I'll protect him like he was my own nephew." Was it him, or did Seto hear Orb emphasize the word "nephew?" Shaking his head slightly, Seto looked around at the people he now called his friends. It all suddenly hit him, how much things had changed in the span of two years. Strangely enough, he didn't regret anything one bit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Malik stood at the top of the farthest pyramid, sneering at the sight of two figures all to familiar to him approach his domain. How ironic that the two duelists of the pharaoh's friends to come to his place were the two he wanted to see the most. Even from atop the towering structure, he could plainly see the snowy-white hair of his Egyptian lover moving along side that disgusting blonde mutt, Jono. He would soon claim what was his and make that blonde beg for mercy. Laughing hysterically to himself, Malik began to make the preparations for his evilly concocted plan.
In the closest pyramid stood Malik's sister, Isis, eyeing her own catch of the day. Even from so very high up she to could tell that the two forms nearing her were Bakura's light, Ryou, and Yami's light, Yugi. A slight disappointment nagged her senses. She was hoping to get a chance to meet that hottie, Seto Kaiba.
The occupant of the third and middle pyramid did not stand to look down at her oncoming prey. She knew very well who would soon be coming through her doors and instead busied herself with her plan to kill the gay-bastard Seto and rescue her sweet Yami from the brunette's evil dark powers. A slight grimace graced her lips as she remembered her crushing defeat to the mage 5,000 years ago.
{The Persian princess watched in horror as the young prince's Magician of Dark Arts annihilated her beautiful Exodia. It's not possible! How could Exodia, the one monster said to be unstoppable, lose!? She glared and watched as the spiky-haired prince Ouiji jumped down from the duel stand and threw his arms around the brown haired magician. Gasps from the crowd snapped the two and both boys quickly let go of each other. The princess, Teana, narrowed her eyes suspiciously at the sudden display of affection between master and slave.
All of Egypt knew it was against the law for a duel monster and a human to share any bond other than master and slave. Though there was the rebellion, Teana doubt that the pharaoh's own son would be one of them. Still, that hug seemed to be all to welcomed by both sides. Could the magician, with his unnatural powers, have taken control of the prince's mind?}
Yes, she would never forget how Setoek had defeated her Exodia and claimed it for the Prince's prize. Or the way he was treated by the prince, so special, so fragile, like the slightest breeze would blow him to dust. It disgusted her then and it disgusted her now. By the name of whatever god looked down upon man, she would receive her justice!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey, Yugi? Do you think it was smart leaving my yami with Joey?" Yugi looked over at Ryou. The albino looked worried and scared, "Don't worry, Ryou. Joey will be fine and so will we." Ryou looked down and smiled at him. Then starring into the dark abyss of the opening in the pyramid he muttered under his breath, "I'm more worried about Bakura's safety." Yugi gave Ryou a knowing smile and chuckled at the brown-eyed boys comment, "Now, now, Ryou. I know he doesn't seem the type, but Joey will make sure nothing bad happens to your dark side. He not a total idiot." Ryou smiled brightly and the two laughed as the entered the darkness of the pyramid.
"Oh, it's so dark. Ow! Yugi, you stepped on my foot!" Yugi apologized sheepishly and fumbled in the darkness for a light switch. Wait! He was looking for a light switch in a pyramid. That was stupid, why didn't he just look for a pop machine while he was at it. Yugi reminded himself that this wasn't a museum. Raising his arms half way up in frustration, he accidentally hit Ryou's face. "Oops, sorry Ryou. I wish there was a light or something!" Suddenly the room they were in was filled to every crack with a warm light. Yugi and Ryou exchanged open-mouthed expressions. Ryou thought to himself then spoke clearly and softly, "Um.I wish I had a double chocolate-chip, almond swirl, cherry topped ice cream in a bowl with a spoon?" Suddenly, out of thin air a double chocolate-chip, almond swirl, cherry topped ice cream in a bowl with a spoon appeared in Ryou's hands. The two boys looked at each other as a devilish grin graced their normally innocent faces.
Before long the room was filled with stuffed toys, music CD's, a big screen TV, candy, sweets, clothes, video games, and just about everything a boy could ever want or need. Ryou laughed out loud as he bounced up and down on a trampoline and Yugi smiled hyperly as he stuffed his face with candy. As each second passed and the more wishes the boys made, the smaller and chibier they became. Isis stood in her chambers at the top of the pyramid and watched through her millennium item as the boys changed more and more. Smiling to herself, she granted Ryou yet one more wish and watched as the boy shrank to the height of a kitchen table while holding his new Change of Heart doll.
Yugi pouted as he realized all the candy was gone. He looked up as Ryou squealed and his eyes widened as the albino boy shrank to chibi size right before his eyes. Yugi got up and walked over to the boy. "Hey! You're all chibi wike!" Yugi said and pointed at him. Ryou looked down at himself, "Hey! You're wight! I am chibi wike!" He then looked up at the spiky-haired boy and covered his mouth with his little hand, "Ummmmm, you're all chibi wike too!" Yugi looked down at himself and cried out in surprise. Suddenly, everything in the room vanished and a woman stood before the two chibi's. Yugi and Bakura gawked at the tall women with jet-black hair and light brown skin.
She smiled coolly down at them, "Welcome, little lights. You now belong to me, your babysitter." Yugi and Bakura looked at each other then looked up at Isis, their eyes starting to water and their lower lip began to tremble. Isis starred down at the chibi's with no idea what they were doing. Suddenly the whole pyramid was filled with a gods piercing cry as the two boys broke down into the loudest wailing ever to come from a couple of five- year-olds mouths.
"Arggghhhh!! Stop crying! As your babysitter I demand that you stop crying!!!!" Isis stumbled back covering her ears and slipped on some ice cream that Yugi had spilled on the floor. As she landed, her millennium item flew from around her neck and crashed into Ryou's shoes. Ryou and Yugi immediately quit crying, looked at each other, grabbed the millennium item, and sprinted towards the exit before Isis could regain herself. "Stop! Bring that back right now!!!" Isis cried and reached towards the boys. They didn't stop and as they ran out into the evening air they changed quickly back to their grown-up selves. Behind them, they could here Isis crying out but her cries were muffled as the pyramid before them began to disintegrate and collapse.
Ryou and Yugi watched, as the last of the dust cleared and what had once been a pyramid was now just a pile of ruble and dirt. Then the ruble disappeared and the buildings that had been there before the pyramid appeared back in their places as if nothing had ever happened. The two boys looked down at the millennium item in their hand and smiled at each other. Turning away from the scene, they walked back to Seto's mansion without letting go of the golden necklace.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Malik cursed as he watched his sisters pyramid collapse to ruins. He knew she was dead but didn't care. All that mattered to him was that some of Setoek's friends had defeated his sister and now no doubt possessed her millennium item. Well, he wasn't going to be so easy to destroy. Smiling cruelly, he adjusted the last parts of his contraption and smirked. He was going to have a blast with Jono and Kale.

AnimeFan: All right! That turned out better then I thought! I guess a little planning will go a long way. Of course, not for Isis. Sorry if anyone liked her, but she's a bad guy in this story so she had to go. He he, chibi Ryou and Yugi. ^-^ I have a bad habit of fitting chibi's into my stories. Warning for the next chapter. There will be a spur-of-the-moment pairing change, but it's only a spur-of-the-moment. You'll really be surprised at this pairing. Next chapter, Joey and Bakura brave the depths of the farthest pyramid.
