Chapter 9
**************

" Is it just me or has Seto been acting a little weird?" Mokuba asked.

" Yeah, ever since that meeting with at the Pharaoh's palace, he's been obbsesed with the Shadow games, even though he has never even found his Millenium Rod." Raven replied and touched the yellow sun of the necklace Seto gave to her.

" But the shadow games are fun to watch." Mokuba commented.

" Yeah, and Seto's been teaching me how to play, I even get to use the powerful Red-eyes Black Dragon! Three of them to be exact!" Raven added.

" Cool, I've asked him millions of times if he would teach me, but he always said NO, you're too little!" Mokuba complained. Raven rolled her eyes and walked inside the house to get dinner ready. Mokuba stayed outside, watching his brother think out Shadow game stratigies.
*************

" SETO!!! DINNER!!!" Mokuba screamed out the door.

" Yeah, coming." Seto replied and walked inside. He looked un-human at the moment. Eyes more like ice than ever before, and a colder, sterner face like stone. Always. Never. A. Change.
******************

" Seto sit down, eat and then you can go plot that Shadow game thing." Raven said.

" But I'm not hungry." Seto replied.

" Sit and eat. I'm getting worried about you." Raven said as she placed Seto's plate in front of him," Why do you spend endless hours plotting Shadow game stratagies?"

" Because, I'm going to go duel the Pharaoh." Seto replied, No sign of any emotion in his body. Like he was something's slave.

" SETO!!!" Mokuba and Raven screamed. Seto just looked the two of them, not an expression of compassion, nor hate, nor anything but nothing.

" Seto have you gone mad?!" Raven asked. No reply.

" Seto can you at least tell us when you'll duel the Pharaoh?" Mokuba asked as he played with his food.

" Three weeks from today." Seto replied simply.

" At least it's not tomorrow." Mokuba muttered.

" Don't give him any ideas." Raven scolded.

" Give who ideas?" Seto asked, it seemed like he was back to normal. For the moment.
**************

" Ok, so all I have to do is move this staff thing up, and the monster tablet will turn face up?" Raven asked.

" Yes, just like that." Seto replied.

" So do you think I'd be a pretty good opponent?" Raven asked.

" Yeah, you just need to practice in the Shadow Realm itself, then you would be ready. I could let you, but I still can't find my Millenium Rod." Seto said.

" It'll turn up. Eventually." Raven encouraged.

" Yeah, key word, EVENTUALLY." Seto said. Raven rolled her eyes. Mokuba was watching this whole little thing unfold. The fire red sunset in the backround of Seto giving Shadow Game lessons to Raven.

" Ah, love, it's so sweet." He muttered and continued to watch.
*****************

" Sir, your plan has been working on the High Priest and his lady." A beautiful servant girl bowed to a man.

" Good, Good, I expect the High Priest to lose to the Phararoh, and get banned from Egypt, then that girl, Raven, will be mine for the taking." The dark figure stated as he clenched the millenium rod.
*****************

Three weeks later......

" Seto, are you sure about this?" Raven asked as he started out the door.

" Yes." He simply stated.

" Good luck to you. I love you." Raven said as she pulled him into a kiss, she held on to him like a vice grip. Never wanting to let go. Right before the two let loose, one diamond tear ran down her face.
