Chapter #6

*Throne Room a few weeks later. *

"So that Johan guy is head of the army?" Seto asked laughing.

"Yes, and I know what you are thinking, but he is not as incompetent as you might think."



"Well, with all due respect, I honestly have not idea how your country survives." Seto replied half-joking.

Seto stood and said stretching, "I better go, it's getting late and I have a couple of things that need to be done." Seto started to leave, but Yami ran and stopped him.

"Wait, before you go I have a surprise for you. Stay!" before Seto could refuse Yami ran off. He didn't have time for one of Yami's surprises, but he waited.



"Ok, Seto close your eyes."



"Come on Yami, I really need to go." he sighed closing his eyes.

"Ok, open them...now!" Seto opened his eyes to see...

"Mokuba!"

"Big Brother?!"

"Yes, I'm back Little Brother."

Mokuba ran into his brother's arms. Yami was satisfied with his doings so he left the two brothers to catch up.



*Palace Courtyard*





Yami was out walking trying to clear his head.



'What could Seth have done that would be so bad to make him go into Exile? It doesn't make sense.' Yami sighed. He sat on the ground gazing at the pyramids.

'Only one person can help me. By the name of Ra I will give you peace father.' Yami bowed his head and sat in silence for a moment.

"Well, no time like the present." and with that Yami stood and started in the direction of town.



*Throne Room*

Seto and Mokuba had been talking for hours. Seto had forgot all about his business.

"Dammit!" Seto yelled all the sudden. "Sorry Mokuba I have to go." he said starting to leave.

"Will you be back tomorrow?"

"Yes Little Brother. See you tomorrow." Seto ran out of the building toward town.

*Downtown {Yami}*

Yami was walking in the silence of the streets. Yami's thoughts started wandering to the last time he walked these streets. It was the day after Seto came back...

*Flashback*

Yami and Isis were walking to he house from the palace.

"Yami, there's something I need to tell you." They stopped walking and he faced her.

"What is it?" He went to take her hand but she pulled away and turned.

"I have to leave town for a while."

"What? Why?"

Isis turned back and looked into his violet eyes. She knew she had to choose between him and Seto, but she couldn't. She needed to leave town for a little while, clear her head.

"I have to go to Jordan for a while. My little brother's master has passed and I must go fetch him."

Isis gave Yami a small kiss on the cheek and turned to leave.

"Good-bye Yami."

"Good-Bye Isis."

*End Flashback*

Yami shook his head. He had much more important things to think about. After walking for a few minutes he reached his destination.

*Downtown {Seto}*

Seto was running through the back streets of town. He was late; he just hoped that they would still be there. He ran past Isis' house, and he found himself thinking about that fateful night after he came back.

*Flashback*

Seto had been waiting for Isis at her house. It was late and Seto was starting to worry. Before he left to look for her she came running in the house, she had tears in her eyes.

"Isis what's wrong?" as he asked this she ran into his arms.

"Shh...Shh...it'll be ok," after a while the crying subsided and she spoke.

"Malik...Malik's master died."

"You mean Set!?" (don't ask)

"Yes, I have to go get him."

"Are you sure you can handle this by yourself? Last time checked you two weren't speaking."



"I know, but I have to go get him, and just hope he will forgive me."

Isis gave Seto a small kiss.

"All my stuff is packed, Bakura is accompanying me there. I'll be ok. Good-Bye Seto."

"Good-Bye Isis"
