Blue-eyes slept and he dreamed. Strange dreams, dreams of cards that he knew he'd never met were helping him and his deck. He thought he felt the power of the deck but that was ridiculous. He was dead. He couldn't feel anything. Right?
Or was being dead for a card just one long dream and if so, then wouldn't it be his right to see Seto again. He felt he had earned it. But maybe being killed by Seto had taken away that privilege. No, that couldn't be it either. What he had done had felt right and he would do it again if he had too.
So he continued to dream and it seemed that in a way he was growing stronger, until the strangest dream of all came. The Pharaoh visited him. He knew it was him. The hair was a dead give away, as was the power that he commanded.
Why would he be visiting a dead card was beyond the dragons comprehension though. He knew the Egyptians thought highly of the afterlife, but why then would he come to him.
Then a hand was laid upon his head and it felt to real to be a dream.
"You fought bravely and you upheld your loyalty. Not many could do that, knowing that an option waiting for them was death."
Blue Eyes met violet and neither looked away but the dragon was the next to speak.
"I could do no else. Seto is my duelist and that thing is no longer Seto, thanks to you." The Pharaoh smiled. "I chose this path and don't regret it, but I do wish I could see him once more."
He watched the young man sit down in front of him, knees drawn under his chin and eyes focused on the dragon before him. It was unnerving to be the attention of such ancient power, but he did not look away.
"You have Seto's pride as well as his heart I see. That can be a very good thing and you will need it in the future."
Future?
"But, I died." Pharaoh cocked his head to the side as if considering.
"True. But you remained loyal to the very end and you entered the battle knowing that was most likely your fate. Seto's deck is under the protection of mine until I find him again and can return you to him." He stopped and smiled at the dragon's confusion. You see, Seto really just wanted to stop you from being able to duel and not to kill you. Right now you are living with his borrowed power. The choice is now yours, if you wish to go on living or reach the other side."
"There is no choice. I would die for Seto and that means I would live for him too." He received a smile for the answer and then all was black for a moment as he felt his heart start once more.
Seto jumped down from the helicopter and started towards the group before him. He was surprised when Yugi came rushing over and gave him something. He looked down and saw his deck. It had been well taken care of, but what surprised him was a feeling of happiness and joy that seemed to radiate from it as well as him.
He felt like he had found his friends again and as he turned over the first card of his deck, he knew he had. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon stared back at him and he smiled.
//Thanks you.//
He spoke in his mind but when he looked back at Yugi, he was startled for a moment to see someone else. Someone else smirking at him, as if he knew what Seto had said and how he felt, but when he blinked it was gone and Yugi just gazed up at him.
He shook his head to clear it. There would be time enough to figure this heart of the card stuff after Mokuba was safe at home.
/We'll wait till then./
He turned to look and see who spoke but saw no one. But blue eyes were gazing happily up into his and both knew deep inside that they had, in a way, come home.
Me: Short but I hope you like..
