YUGIOH

Blast in the Past

Chapter 21.

Seto talked with his friends, hanging out as he went home, until they found their homes and had to separate. Finally, it was almost night time, as Seto headed home alone. He continued to walk, then finally stopped. With a long sigh, he said, "Yugi....why are you following me?"

"I'm sorry to bother you, but I need to talk to you. It's very important." Yami said, leaving the shadows of the night.

"Fine....come on home with me, we'll have something to drink and you can talk to me there." Seto said.

Curious to see where Seto now lived, Yami nodded, accepting the offer. They ended up to his home, as Seto and Yami entered.

"Hello honey, you're just in time for supper." His mother said, coming over and kissing him on the cheek, giving him a hug. Yami watched with sadness in his eyes. It was just as Yami feared....Kaiba had gotten his family back in this world. He was so happy....it hurt Yami very much to think he'd have to tell Kaiba of this harsh reality of what really happened. 'I'm so sorry, Kaiba....for what I have to tell you.'

"Yugi, what are you doing here, dear?" She asked.

"I invited Yugi to stay for dinner, Mom." Seto said.

"That's fine, why don't you set up another placement for him, then?" She asked.

"All right." Seto said, putting another plate, and more silver-wear down, along with a napkin. He went into the other room, and pulled an extra seat into the kitchen.

"I'll call you when dinner's ready." Mom said.

They headed into the TV room, and Seto placed a hand on his Dad's shoulder, saying, "What are you watching, Dad?"

"Golf....it's very exciting, Seto. Come here, you've got to watch this next put!" He said.

Seto shook his head, saying, "Yeah, well....come on Yugi, we'll go in my room." They entered the small room, as Seto said, "Excuse the mess. I've been trying to keep this place clean, but with the duel disk experiments, it's got a little crazy in here." Pushing some scrap parts out of the way, as he sat down on his bed. "Take a seat." Seto said, motioning for the chair near the computer desk.

Yami took a seat, looking around this small room, with a simple laptop computer, closet, dresser, twin bed, and miscellaneous computer chips and pieces. "Well, next year's the last year, Yugi. Once I get through high school and graduate, I'll be moving in with Mai."

"You mean Mai Valentine?" Yami asked, shocked. "She doesn't have a problem with that?"

"Why would she? We've been going out for some time, now. We already talked about it, and she's all for it. It might be hard on Mokuba in the beginning, but I'll be here to visit all the time. It's not like they're going anywhere." Seto said.

Yami wasn't sure what to say, so he decided to change the subject. "So, you're working on your duel disk experiments, I see."

"That's right." Seto smiled. "I just signed a contract with the organized Duel Monster's Tournament League. They plan on me installing these into every Tournament sight in this region. You're grandfather was smart to partner up with me, Yugi….he's going to be a very rich man soon, as will I."

"Well, I certainly hope it doesn't go to your head. Next, you'll be demanding we call you by your last name, all the time." Yami smiled. It was a personal joke, which he wondered if Seto would catch.

Seto smiled, then laughed from Yami's humor, answering, "That's not going to happen."

Yami's smile then faded, as he said with a touch of sadness, "I've never seen you so relaxed and open-minded before. You seem so....happy." The emotional walls that the Kaiba he knew always had up to protect his heart from the world around him, was surprisingly gone. He acted just like any other normal teenage kid, now.

"What's that supposed to mean? Why wouldn't I be?" Seto asked, still wondering why Yugi was acting so strange.

"Kids....dinner!" His Mom called, and they went over to eat. They had a nice family dinner with everyone there....Mom, Dad, Mokuba, Seto, and Yami. Then after dinner, the father said, "Seto, why don't you entertain your friend, while we go for a walk with your brother?"

"And clean that room, while you're at it." Mom added.

"All right, all right." Seto answered. Mokuba waved good-bye, and they left, giving the house to Seto at the moment.
