Ever since the arrival of Athena and Akefia, or rather, Yuna and Bakura, the whole of Rome seemed to have been turned upside down. All anyone talked about was the next time the Egyptian warriors would fight or make bets of how many would be killed by Bakura and how many would be sparred by the merciful Yuna. It made Gozaboro even more of a paranoid bastard than he already was. And he blamed it all on Yuna.

The girl was a lot more than she seemed. Even Dartz said the same. The strange man insisted that she has a powerful soul, whatever that meant, and that her homage was more than just what she told them. Many a times, Dartz had tried to find out from which part of Greece the girl was from, with the help of Pegasus and his Millennium Eye, but the two were always blocked by something or another. Dartz suspected it had something to do with Yuna herself and nothing else. Pegasus agreed with him on that, something that rarely happens with the two men, and they both insisted that Yuna was taken to one of their questioning chambers and be questioned.

But the girl was under Seto's wing, she was his and they couldn't very well do so when he wouldn't allow it. The brunet was Gozaboro's most prided 'creation', what with how he had raised the boy, and even without Gozaboro's interference and help. Seto could easily make their lives hell. And no one doubted he would.

Siegfried was still stupefied by the way Seto had returned to the cell just to make sure that the two Egyptians bad all that they would need until morning comes and with it brings the 'prince' of Romans, as well as how he was then treated by said 'prince' of Romans. Sure, he and the younger man have never seen eye to eye before, even before the whole Kisara thing, as their fathers had been rivals when they were Seto and Siegfried's age, respectively. And even though both of the Von Schroaders have been giving it their all to be victors, the Kaiba family always ended up on top. It was as if they were meant to lose to the Kaibas and Siegfried's father was sick of it. He had been putting Siegfried under more and more preashure as of late and the games were not helping.

Now that Sieg thought about it, Seto was changing quite a bit, like everthing else. It had all started with those two damned fighting slaves! Especially that Yuna! She and Seto were getting closer and closer with every day and they looked great togehter. Sieg swore they were meant to be as more than just aquaintances, but he wasn't going to mention it. And how did he know the looked great together, some may ask. Well, ever since humanity began, so did gossip and all those who loved to spread and listen to it. It's a part of human nature. And so the slaves and servants all tlaked about how the young 'prince' was spending more than half of his free time with the fighters, and the rest of the time was spent with either his brothers or reading his scrools about the Legendar Warrior with both Spartan and Egyptian blood. And as the servants gossiped, others heard them and the news quickly stopped being all that new and it reached Kisara's ears.

And the white-haired beauty was not happy.

She was furious. Siegfried had almost wet himself when she had jumped him in the halls, demanding that he got rid of the two slaves caught in Egypt. Her eyes had reminded Siegfried of many of the deamons he had heard in stories about, or the Egyptian ones Seto used to talk about. Sieg had never believed in all that Egyptian bullshit, not even when Ishizu comfirmed it. Now, he was starting to doubt his own gods, what with Kisara reminding him of one of those demons. Sieg thought that the serpant demon was called Apep or Apepos, or something.

Yuna had started settling in rather well.
