In the end, no matter that it had been the pharaoh that played the game; it had been Yugi that had gotten the praise. Those first few serious duels, those first few games, had been the spirit through and through. Yugi had only been a passenger along for the ride. It had not been until Pegasus that their true teamwork had been established, they had never even talked to each other before then, and their skills combined. The thought made him feel slightly guilty.
The pharaoh had done all the work. The pharaoh had won all those risky games. Not Yugi. Shouldn't the pharaoh get the credit?
Yugi pushed those thoughts aside when the spirit's laughter rang from the corner of his mind.

Since I am not in the position to do so, this will have to do."
"I thought," Isis puzzled, "that you had no intention of doing so to begin with?" Kaiba just shrugged, turning away and saying over his shoulder, "Consider our acquaintance terminated.", and disappearing down the pier. She watched him go for a little while before looking down at his gift. Isis opened the box and stifled a laugh, lifting a tiny replica of the millennium necklace out of the black velvet.
"You can terminate this acquaintance, Seto, but I don't think this is the last I'll see of you."
