Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh or you'd be seeing Seto and Yami on a date instead of Tea and him!!! Ahhh!!!! Damn that women!! She's a good dancer though, I'll give her that. -__- But Still!!

AnimeFan: Hellos everyone! Gods! I'm so sorry for not updating this for so long!! I've been working on two other fics lately, Dragon's Love and my Kingdom Hearts fic, Key to Your Heart! They are so rocking for first type ficcies like that!! Plus, I had writers block. -___-' Someone told me I should do stories for Inu Yasha! That would be so cool, but I've only had the chance to see one episode of it! I think it was about the girl who was trying to kill her brother cause she thought that her mother didn't love her and that's why her mother didn't save her from the fire in their apartment! Then she nearly got dragged to hell by that demon that's eyes open when a child ghost goes to hell. Sooo!! It was cool, but I never get the chance to see it!

Chibi Bakura: DAMN YOU! This chapter is all about Ouiji and Setoek again! When do I get to star in this fic...and not be unconscious!!

AnimeFan: The next chapter, OK! Shut up now, Baku.

Chibi Bakura: Don't...call...me...BAKU!!!!

Favorite quote so far:
Mokuba: "Don't get mad but I brought Yugi along with me."
Kaiba; "You did what?! You know how I feel about Yugi Motou."(Hidden Meaning!)
Mokuba: "But I didn't know who else to turn to."
Kaiba: "Anyone else!......Now c'mon, lets get out of here."(Slight blush!)

AnimeFan: Ok, I know Seto didn't blush when he said that but I swear there was another alternative meaning to that!! Yes, You know how I feel about Yugi Motou! Hahahahaa!! ^o^

Chapter 6 -- Realizations


Ouiji sighed as he played with the idea of just falling asleep right then and there. He was sitting next to his father's side, pretending to be listening to the vizier explain the problem with the preparations for the Duel Tournament. Personally, he didn't give a damn what problems they were having, as long as the tournament wouldn't be canceled. Besides, dueling was the last thing on his mind at the moment. The mage, Setoek, was. He hadn't spoken to the mage since yesterday, if yelling at him was considered speaking to him. The prince was struggling innerly to forgive the brunette and believe him, this weakness making him more frustrated and confused then was good at the moment. Setoek's tears had really gotten to him to, even now he felt terrible for hurting his precious angel like that...wait, did he just refer to Setoek as an...no. No! Arrr!!

Ouiji scowled and kicked at one of the pillows, sending the silk cushion flying into the vizier's face. A second later he was aware of everyone's eyes turned on him. Sweating a little, he stared at them all dumbly, scowling at the suspicious and teasing look in his brother, Malik's eyes. Deciding that saving himself from a million questions was better then nothing, Ouiji jumped up from his seating as if he had just been insulted about his hair and gave the vizier his coldest glare possible. It might be fun to vent my frustration out on him, he thought with a mental smirk. I don't care what the problems are with seating and food supply! This tournament will be held at it's appointed time during the red moon of Horus's reign!! Now, if you don't mind, I am leaving to go train my mage properly for the duel and if I so much as hear another thing about problems, I'll give you a problem worth complaining about! Such as, how will you eat with your head shoved halfway up your worthless ass!!!

With that, Ouiji turned and stormed out of the throne room towards Setoek's chambers. He felt considerably better now and figured he'd just check on his love slave. Really though, if he didn't get the brunette in bed with him soon he'd never get any sleep. That was one of the reasons he hadn't tried to replace the Mon, being with Setoek made him feel at peace...the rest of the world didn't matter when he had the boy moaning into his mouth with every stroke... That and he loved the power and dominance he had over the supposedly more powerful mage.

Get the hell out of my way! He smirked as the guards tripped over themselves to escape his faked wrath. Once the dopy imbeciles were out of the way of the door, he proceeded with his normal manner of entering the mage's room...only to find it completely mage-free inside. What is this!! The guards peered in curiously as Ouiji practically tore the room up searching for his duel monster. WHAT ARE ALL YOU IDIOTS STARING AT!!! GET GOING AND FIND THAT MAGE!!!!! The guards jumped as he screamed at them, then he smiled sweetly, Oh...and, get someone in here to clean this mess up. He smirked as they ran off, more afraid for their lives then in a hurry. Turning to inspect the room with his eyes, he did his best to think like his mage.

Setoek had obviously been greatly hurt by his cruel treatment, he no doubt had been starving, and he had been miserable...so where would he go and how would he have gotten there. A slight breeze ruffled the prince's golden bangs and he turned, smiling when he saw the wide open window on the wall. Of course...that damn blonde, Jono. Turning several shades of green, the prince whirled on his heels and headed out to the palace doors that led to the city. He was going to strangle the merchant for getting so close to his mage right under his nose! He'd murder him to if he had done anything to Setoek besides talk...hell, actually he'll kill him for just doing that to!!

Damnit! Here he was again, experiencing that same feeling he'd felt when he had first seen Setoek hugging Jono! Why was he feeling this...and why did it always have to come when his mage was with that damn commoner!? Damnit, damnit, He yelled out the last curse as he tripped over something and fell face down in the dirt of the streets. With another curse, he sat up and rubbed his damaged nose that had taken to cushioning the rest of him in that fall. Looking behind him curiously for the culprit of his plunge, Ouiji met the terrified gaze a small little girl...no older then five or six. She had pretty blonde hair and green eyes, but her clothes were nothing more then rags!

The girl stared at him in horror, frozen in the spot like a bird under the gaze of the snake. Sighing, the prince stood up and brushed the dirt off of his black robe and pants. Ouiji yelped in surprise as the girl got in his way and started dusting him herself, shaking all over in fright. With a sigh he nudged her away and knelt down so to look her in the eyes, It's all right, little one. Accidents happen. She seemed even more scared when he spoke to her, but calmed down when she realized she wasn't in trouble. The prince smiled warmly, mentally cooing over the cute little girl. He had always wanted a younger brother or sister...after all, he loved children. Who didn't really?

Standing back up, Ouiji looked around him for someone who might of looked remotely like the little child. When he didn't spot anyone, he turned to her with another comforting smile, Where's your parents, young one? It's dangerous for a child like you to be running about all alone. The little girl frowned and stared down at her feet shyly, I don't know...they weft without me. Ouiji frowned and took the girls hand. She was lost...like his mage. It wouldn't hurt to help her find her mother and father, Come along then. We'll find your mother and father for you. Do you remember anything that might help us find them?

The little girl stared off in deep thought for a moment before looking up at him with a timid smile, Lots of water...and flowers. Staring down at her, Ouiji thought about this. It was like a riddle almost, trying to figure out what had lots of water and flowers. Smiling, he coxed the girl along and headed towards the Water Shrines of Geb. It was the only place he knew of that was had lots of flowers and water. It was considered the Nile's paradise, with thousands of waterfalls and vegetation that most didn't see outside of the divine garden. Stories spoke of it being a gift to the humans by Geb himself and thus it was kept preserved by priests, maidens, and their mons.

Maybe he should take Setoek there sometime. An image of the mage's face lighting up and his perfect eyes sparkling as he gazed around the lush garden came to Ouiji, and the prince smiled to himself. It would be a perfect place...that and he might be lucky enough to talk the brunette into a little swim. Of course, such a privilege was normally given only to royalty but still...he'd love to see Setoek soaking wet among the greenery, his blue eyes hazed with passion and lust. Ouiji bit his lip as he felt himself begin to harden. Ok, enough thinking about the mage that way.

He glanced over to check and make sure the little blonde hadn't seen anything. She hadn't and if she did, she was hiding it well under the excitement and relief of seeing the Water Shrines drawing closer to them. With a sigh of relief, the two of them walked past the flowered arch entrance and entered the paradise of greens, blues, reds, and yellows. Maidens and priests were scurrying about, some carrying pots of wine or grape which was grown here while others went about testing the water and plants for disease or decay.

Ouiji, himself, had only been to this place a few times and it was still overwhelming after so many days of seeing nothing but stone and sand. He looked down when he felt a tug on his robe. The little girl was smiling up at him, holding a Stellar flower up in his face. He took the pretty six petaled flower and smelled it's pink petals, smiling down at her, Thank you, little one. I'll keep it as a reminder of our meeting. She burst into giggles and blushed. Smiling, Ouiji put the flower in the belt of his robe and then began the grueling task of trying to get one of the maidens or priests attention.

Staff!! Oh darling is that you!! Ouiji turned to look as a blonde-haired women and a purple-haired man ran towards them. His little friend let out a happy squeal and jumped into the women's arms happily. The prince smiled as Staff was reunited with her mother and father, the three of them laughing, hugging, crying, and kissing. It was cute and Ouiji felt happy and a little sad inside. He wished his mother was still alive...he suddenly missed her. A little boy came running up to them and Staff was set down by her parents so she could hug the boy. Ouiji silently wondered if this was her big brother. Orb!! I was so scared...then he helped me and...

Staff suddenly remembered the prince and turned to hug him around the waist, Thank you for helping me find my mommy and daddy! Her parents agreed and practically showered him in praises. The little boy puffed out his chest but sagged, staring at his feet much like Staff had done, I would of gone looking for you, Staff! But my master said I wasn't to leave. I'm sorry...I was a bad friend. The blonde child smiled at her...friend?...and hugged him, Not true...you're a great friend!

Ouiji smiled but something began to nag at the back of his mind. Did the boy just say his master?' That would mean that he was a mon...but mons and humans weren't supposed to be friends. Shrugging it off, he ruffled Staff's hair playfully, I've got to go now and find someone I lost. She turned her big green eyes and him and smiled happily, Ok! Come back and visit, please!! The prince laughed and nodded his head, before giving them all a silent goodbye and starting towards the garden exit.

Crack!!!



As the scream shattered threw the air Ouiji whirled around, watching in horror as a finely dressed priest cracked his whip on Staff another time. It hit her mother as the women threw herself over her child protectively. A severe rage boiled up inside of him and Ouiji dashed over to catch the next blow of the whip in his hand. Holding the leather weapon, he pulled it from the mans hands and threw it to the ground. What is the meaning of this!!!! You have no right to harm this child or her family! The priest cowered slightly before the prince, I-I'm sorry your highness! I was just punishing my Female Dark Magician's child for running away.

Ouiji fumed and narrowed his eyes dangerously, Staff did not run away! She was lost and-what do you mean, Female Dark Magician's child!? His eyes widened and he stared from little Staff and her family to the priest, doing a retake at least five times. Staff stared up at him the sixth time and he could see in her eyes, plain and clear, Your highness? Gulping, Ouiji stumbled away from them, turning and running out of the gardens back to the city as fast as he could.

Female...Dark...Magician's...child!! Staff!! That sweet, little angelic girl who'd given him a Stellar flower and a hug...was a Mon!!!!! That loving mother and father, who'd practically praised his existence for finding their child were...Mons!! That little boy, pretending as if he would of rescued her like any other boy would have...was a Mon!! But, that's not right! His father, his tutors, they taught him that Mons were only meant for dueling and enslavement! No one had ever mentioned loving parents, or worried friends, or even children! He hadn't known that duel monsters started out as babies, just like humans...no one had ever told him that!!!!!!!

Ouiji ran harder, forgetting all about Setoek in his confused mind. He just wanted to get back home, to where everything was like it always was. He cried out as a fruit cart came out of no where in front of him. Falling to his butt from the collision, the reddened fruits he recognized as apples came hailing down on him. Ouiji threw his arms over his head protectively, wincing... waiting for the blows that would soon come from the ripened fruit. They came all right, but not on him. Opening his eyes cautiously, Ouiji looked up above him to see an armored man leaning over him, taking the blows instead. Once the hail of apples was over, the man helped him stand back up.

He smiled and steadied himself on shaky knees, Th-thank you. Adverting his gaze up to get a closer look at his savior, the prince froze when the familiar face of Akne, the flameswordsman from the rebel group, stared back down at him. Don't mention it, prince. Do remember that you may be royalty and all with supposedly godlike powers...but you can't go through walls or fruit carts. Ouiji stared at him in horror. The flameswordsman looked so...human, like him and others. He had helped him to, protected him from the fruits and even made a joke!! No, no this went against everything he had ever been taught!!!! No!!!!!!!

Pushing himself away from the Mon like he was something dangerous, Ouiji sprinted down the streets to the palace. His father and the councilors had been talking about the rebels. How the rebels were a bunch of humans and mons that believed they were equal and meant to live together in peace and unity. Setoek was a rebel, maybe he was telling the truth to the prince. Maybe the mage wasn't spying on him, just trying to protect him and at the same time, his own kind! Then that would me that he had been treating Setoek unjustly. Oh gods! Setoek was even more human than any Mon he had met! Two eyes, two ears, a mouth, has a heart, has feelings, and by Ra, he could feel pain, lust, and maybe even love. No, none of this was right!!! DAMNIT!!!

AnimeFan: Ok, there everyone! Surprise to many! Remember Staff and Orb from my Silent Tears story!? Yep, they're the same Staff and Orb as the two in this story!! ^-^ I love doing things like that. lol. For a quick explanation here, I don't think the egyptians referred to the seasons as Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. So, I made up names for their seasons, which I don't think they have seasons but still, here it is if you want to know what I meant with the red moon of Horus's reign...

Red Moon of Horus's Reign- March 21...the first day of spring. For them, it is the time in which seeds are planted and animals are birthed, just like it is for us! The moon isn't really red. ^-^

High Sun of Ra's Reign- June 21...the first day of summer. For them, it is the time when Ra's power over the earth is the strongest and water is more scarce outside of the Nile.

Dark Sky of Set's Reign- September 23...the first day of autumn. For them, it is the time when the nights and days are colder then normal because Set and Ra are fighting over who dominates the earth at this time.

Fallen Star of Anubis's Reign- December 22...the first day of winter. For them, it is the time when the nights are freezing, the days are cool and everything is flooded from the fallen star's of Anubis. (Rain people.) {This time is also known as Offering Star of Seth's Reign by the mons. It is supposedly the time when the earth remembers Seth's sacrifice to the Mons.)

AnimeFan: So, what do you all think of my made of seasonal calendar for the Egyptians? I know, I'll get a couple of people flaming me about it...oh well. -___-' I like it! It's really creative for my imagination worn mind! lol. ^-^ Ok, I'll get the next chapter up or Bakura here will annoy me to death about it.

Chibi Bakura: And it better be a long chapter!!!!
