"Aura!" I looked over to see Yugi and the others rushing over to me, "have you heard?"

"Heard what?" I asked confused.

"Look." Tea handed me a newspaper and Seto took it opening it up then folded it handing it to me with a sigh. "Someone leaked out information about Industrial Illusions."

I read the headline, "Lost Daughter of Maxamillion Pegasus Found." I continued reading this time quietly, and growled softly, "that explains why everyone's whispering about me." The article was all about me, had my picture, my name and that I was the heir to the company. "An unknown source has confirmed that Maxamillion Pegasus, owner and creator of Industrial Illusions and the Duel Monster game, has found his long lost daughter. During his most recent tournament, Duelist Kingdom, local high school student used a fake last name to enter, and entered the championship before finding out that she was his long lost daughter. Now, Aura Pegasus is the heir to the Industrial Illusion name. She, and her father, was unavailable for questions." I mumbled softly to myself and sighed again.

"How's your arm doing?" Yugi asked and I smiled softly.

"It's alright; I'll be fine in a couple of days."

"Hey, rich-boy; what are you doing here?" Joey asked louder than usual and I looked over.

"This is my home room now mutt, get used to it," he said walking past him and I chuckled following, we sat side by side near the back of the classroom and Seto crossed his arms looking at his desk. I sat uncomfortably at mine, and sighed softly rotating my wounded shoulder just to stretch it. "Don't move your arm too much," he said softly and I looked over and nodded with a smile. The group sat close to us and when Bakura walked in I narrowed my eyes on him growling softly, something still unsettled me about him, but this time I didn't sense the Millennium Eye.

He saw me and chuckled softly walking over, "how's your arm, priestess?" he said quietly and Seto looked over as I stared hard at Bakura. His smile grew dark, "I heard about your Father, congratulations." He mocked and I growled about to say something when Seto cut in.

"Leave her alone," Seto growled looking over at Bakura and he looked over giving Seto the same dark smile.

"Ah, I see now." He said looking back at me, "oh how the prophecy aligns, soon though, you will fall." He growled and Seto stood grabbing Bakuras collar pulling him up and towards him.

"I said, leave her alone." He growled and the entire class looked over at us.

Bakura laughed and smiled, "what's the matter Priest? Can't do it?" Setos eyes narrowed on him and he threw him into a desk, not hard enough to hurt him or make him stumble, he stood upright with a chuckle. Seto stood in front of me and glared at Bakura, "as you wish, Priest." Mockingly, Bakura bowed and walked away, sitting away from us.

I stared at the desk thinking, my head was spinning, Priest and Priestess? He couldn't mean… my thoughts trailed off as I closed my eyes. Seto turned looking at me, "are you alright?" he asked and I didn't hear him at first. "Aura," he said softly and I looked up at him, when our eyes crossed visions blurred through my mind. I brought my hand to my face looking away, growling softly.

"Priest," I said softly when the visions faded. "Oh my God," I stood and looked at Seto then bolted out of the room. Seto watched me run out and growled looking at Bakura.

"What did you do to her?" he snapped and the students between the two of them moved.

"I didn't do anything to her Priest, it must be that medication."

"Whoa, Seto, calm down," Yugi said running in front of him and Seto growled looking down at him.

"Stay out of my way Yugi," he growled and pushed him aside, he left the room.

I ran down the hall and stopped on the staircase, rarely used by students between classes. Stopping at a wall I punched it growling, splitting my knuckles but I didn't care. Placing my forehead on the wall I took a deep breath looking at the ground. Those memories, I thought, I saw Seto but he wasn't him, he was something else. I knew the story of the Priest and Priestess, lovers. The Priestess was the daughter of the Pharaoh, the Priest one of his closest friends. I know the whole story, but why did I see Seto as—. My thought was cut off as I heard my name, turning I looked over to see Seto walking down the staircase to me.

"What happened?" he asked walking up to me, his face emotionless still, I stared at him, looked into his eyes and saw a flash, him but as the Priest. Closing my eyes I shook my head turning my head away as tears filled my eyes. "Aura?" he said calmly and looked down to see blood dropping to the ground slowly. Gently he reached and grabbed my wrist lightly; I pulled it away stepping back, still keeping my head low. "Aura," he said a bit harder and I stood still as he grabbed my wrist pulling my hand towards him to look at my cuts. He pulled something out of his pocket and wrapped it around my hand tying it to stop the bleeding.

"You've changed," I said softly and he slowed to a stop, but didn't say anything. "So much since the last time we were together." He still was silent. "Mokuba told me what happened after you left, he told me what Gozabaru did to you, but I miss the old you." Gently he placed his hand on top of my wounded one, making sure the cloth was firmly there. "Priest," I said softly closing my eyes, a few tears hit the floor as I cried softly. "I remember, what we were so long ago, it all came back to me."

"What are you talking about?" he said softly and I looked up at him, tears pouring down the side of my face and I forced a smile.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," I pulled my hand away and lowered it at my side. Turning my head away I looked away, "what happened to you?" I asked softly and he didn't say anything, but he moved his arms slowly. "I've missed you so much, everyday that goes by I think about you, wondered if I would ever see you again. I never thought I would see you again." There was a pause, "Seto, I—" I stopped as I felt arms around me and was pulled into him. He didn't say anything and I cried into his chest. For a long couple of moments we stood there as I rest my head against his chest enjoying the silence.

"There hasn't been a day that's gone by that I haven't thought of you," he said. "As soon as I gained ownership of Kaiba Corp and Gozabaru died, I went back to that orphanage to find you, figure out what happened. The lady told me that when you turned 16 you were allowed to leave, no one ever adopted you. You had no recordable last name; I searched but could never find you." I pulled back gently and looked up at him; his arms fell to my waist. "There hasn't been a day that's gone by that I haven't thought about the promise that I broke; and I swore to myself I wouldn't break my other one." Tears came to my eyes again but didn't fall as I smiled softly up at him. He raised a hand and wiped away a tear that fell and I saw a very soft smile appear on his face. "I promise to you right now, that I will always keep you safe, I will never lose you again." He rests his forehead against mine, "ok?" I nodded softly. "Do you want to go back to class or do you want to go home?" I looked away from him, not sure. "Come on," he led me back up the stairs, "we can talk about this later tonight." I nodded again and I cleared my face as much as I possibly could before he opened the door letting me in.

The whole class turned and looked at me as I walked in, but as soon as Seto stepped inside everyone diverted their stare. We sat down and I stared at the desk in front of me, I didn't really move or say anything, barely paid attention for a long while.

"The answer to this equation," the teacher said and no one said anything staring at the algebraic mess on the black board, scribbling on pieces of paper, except for me and Seto. "Aura, the answer?" the teacher said and I didn't move at first, still looked at the desk, "Aura, do you have the answer to this equation?" he asked again and I glanced up looking at the board. A couple of seconds passed no more than two or three.

"32," I said softly and he looked down at the book then back at the equation. Seto looked over at me shocked that I did that without any paper.

"Right," the teacher said slowly and walked around his desk, "would you care to share to us how you did it?" I didn't look up from the desk.

"It's pretty simple, I'd write it up for you but I'm right handed and well," I moved my arm slightly. The teacher narrowed his eyes on me then continued on.

"Seto, number two?" the teacher asked and Seto looked up at the board, roughly five seconds passed.

"19," he said and the teacher looked between the two of us.

"Right." He closed the book, "alright, it's time for break, be back at your desks in exactly 15 minutes. Aura, Seto, can you come up here?" he asked and we both stood, Seto let me walk ahead of him then we stood in the hall. "Both of you solved the equations without paper, and faster than anyone else; how?" the both of us were silent and I chuckled softly shaking my head.

"It's pretty simple, it's not like it was really that hard," I said and they both looked at me.

"Alright, if that's how it is, I want to see the both of you after class for a couple of minutes." He said and we nodded walking back in and going to our desks.

Seto smiled softly looking over at me, "I didn't realize you were good in math." He said and I smiled looking over at him.

"I'm good at a lot of things, math and computers just happen to be my strong suit." I smiled and looked down towards my desk again. The rest of the class went fast, and we broke for lunch, Seto and I hung back, mad we were still there.

"Pop quiz, not graded." The teacher said walking over to us, "both of you have completely different tests, and I have the answers. I understand you can't write Aura, if you need to write out the equation let me know and I can—"

"Done," I said looking back at him, "13, 92, 35, 27, 3, and 8." I said and he looked at the answer sheet.

"That's right," he said and looked over at Seto who didn't move from his crossed arm glare, "Seto?"

"103, 47, 63, 94, 2 and 56," he said and the teacher checked the answers sighing.

"You two are smart enough to graduate now if you're that good in everything else," the teacher said and we didn't respond. "You can go." We both stood and walked out, moving down to the main floor to our lockers, I followed him, not needing to stop. He was moving stuff in his locker when the group walked up to us.

"Aura, are you alright?" Yugi asked and I forced a smile nodding slightly, "we got worried when you bolted out of the room."

"I just, remembered something, from a very long time ago," I said looking away. "I need to think about it is all." Yugi studied me for a moment and I could sense a change.

"If you're alright, we'll see you after lunch." They walked away and I turned around to see Seto leaning against the lockers, waiting.
