Kaily stared down at the flute in her hand,"Joey, do you feel that?"
Joey glanced over to her and nodded,"Something's really got Serenity, T'ea, and Bakura ticked, and sad."
"What are you two talking about?"Kaiba looked at them, mostly Joey, like he, erm, they were nuts.
"We're the guardians of the Millenium Items."Kaily explained flatly,"We can feel the emotions and, at times, hear the thoughts of the bearers of the items."
"We also know when they're in danger."Joey played with his dagger,"And I get the feelin' Seth is tryin' to kill them right now."
"Join the club."Kaily muttered,"Did it just get colder?"
Mai and Kaiba nodded. The temperature around them dropped atleast ten degrees as a blurry image appeared before them. They could make out five very blurry figures. Kaily's eyes could barely make out Yugi and Yami's forms, along with that of the Dark Magician, though the other two she didn't recognize.
Joey opened his mouth to yell, but two hands, Kaily and Kaiba, slapped it shut,'Huh?'
"Just keep the mouth shut, mutt."Kaily muttered, releasing Joey's mouth. She tried to reach out to her brother with her mind,'Yugi.'
Yugi's head shot up,'Kail, where are you?'
'Who's with you, first of all.'Kaily questioned,'I recognize Yami and the Dark Magician but the other two......?'
Yugi turned and began to walk through the mist. He finally made eye contact with his twin, and ran the rest of the way,"Kail!!"
Kaily wrapped her arms around her brother, fighting back the tears of joy welling up in her violet eyes,"You have no clue how great it is to hear your voice."
Yugi set his head on her shoulder,"I thought I'd never see you again. What are you doing here?"
"We came for you, of course!"Joey laughed, giving Yugi his own hug.
Soon they were joined by Yami, who had a 'I-told'you-so' grin plastered on his face,"And you were worried we'd never see them again, though I'd settle for NOT seeing Kaiba again."
"It's nice to see you too."Kaiba snarled.
Mai smiled lightly and watched the loving reunion between her two children,'Now that I think about it, they do look like their father.'
Kaily noticed her mother's eyes,'Mom wants to talk to you.'
Yugi looked into his sister's eyes,'What?'
'It may have been a dream, but it was still true.'Kaily smiled lightly.
Yugi smiled,'You really do look like Mai when you smile like that.'
Kaily gave and even more 'Mai-like' smirk and pushed her twin over to their mother,'Say hi.'
Yugi's mouth went dry, unable to speak. Mai just glared at her daughter, trying to find words of her own. Joey and Kaiba just exchanged confused glances.
Mai stared a her feet,"I don't know what to say."
"Join the club."Yugi muttered, but couldn't help but smile, Kaily really was like their parents.
"How about this,"Yami grinned,"your family isn't broken anymore."
"Yeah, now just to kill my idiotic father."Kaily teased.
"Don't even."Yugi turned and glared at the guardian,"I thought you learned your lesson."
"So that's how you got my son killed."Mai glared teasingly at Kaily.
"SON?!"Kaiba and Joey both yelped.
Tallen cringed,"Wolf down here!"
Mai wrapped her arms around Yugi,"Can't you see the resemblance?"
"Quit teasing my friends."Kaily gave her mother a playful punch,"But yes, Mai Valentine is our mother."
"So now your name's Kaily Yugorana Destiny VALENTINE Peagsus Mutou?"Kaiba teased.
"I guess."Kaily shrugged,"Now, who were you two talking to?"
The two figures approached them. Everyone went wide eyed. One was Cecelia Pegasus, Kaily and Yugi's aunt and Mai's older sister, and the other was Pegasus.
Tristan looked at the sleeping Serenity and T'ea on the couch. Aurora and Mokuba were also asleep in a large chair next to the couch. A fire burned brightly in the fireplace, which Solomon had busied himself playing with. Nova and Serena sat on the floor, looking through one of Kaily's many photo albums/portfolios. Kaily, Yugi, Joey, Kaiba, and Mai had all been put upstairs and Bakura was taking care of them. Bakahno, who had arrived not long after them, paced nervously around the room.
"This place brings back so many memories."Tristan smiled.
"How could it not?"Solomon prodded the fire with an iron stick,"It's where you, Joseph, and Kaily grew up. This was your home."
"I still can't believe Pegasus is dead."Nova looked at one of Kaily's sketches,"He meant so much to Kail."
"I can't wait to see Aurora's face when we tell her."Bakahno muttered.
"Will you shut up?!"Tristan snapped.
"Tristan,"Bakura walked downstairs,"calm down. We're all stressed, you don't need to bite anyone's head off. As for you, yami, stop looking for trouble. We don't have more than a day or two before Seth finds us."
Tristan nodded,"How are they doing?"
"I'm guessing they found Yugi because Kail, Mai, and Joey all seemed a LOT less tense, for awhile,"Bakura smiled,"then they tensed up again."
"Who knows."Bakahno shrugged,"Where'd Yuga go, I know she's not in the Shadow Realm."
"Probably resting in her soul room."Bakura sat down in another chair,"She's had a rough time lately, especially helping me pull Kail out of her dream. She deserves a break."
"We all deserve a break,"Tristan pointed out,"how come she gets to rest?"
"Because she's the former princess of Egypt, guardian of the Millenium Items, guardian of that little wench Kail,"the tomb robber received a glare from his light,"Yu-Gi-Oh's sister, and constantly has to deal with the trouble her abiou gets into."
Storm, with Avolon on his back, Dayuen, and Delilah trotted into the room, carrying several bags of food.
"Those better not be stolen."Bakura glared at the animals.
Solomon chuckled,"I send Storm and Tallen to the store for food all the time. Most of the town knows and trusts them. Besides, Kaily would shoot them if they stole ANYTHING."
"They used to steal all the time."Tristan took the bags of food into the kitchen,"I can't believe the electricity still works in this place. ACK!!! Nine year old milk!!!!"
Serena and Nova both gagged, Bakura gave a disgusted look, and Solomon and Bakahno just rolled their eyes. Mokuba rolled over in his sleep and ended up sprawled out on top of Aurora, who was sleeping quite peacefully.
"I can't WAIT to see Kaiba's face when he sees that."Serena looked at the sleeping children.
"I can't wait to see Kail's face."Tristan laughed,"Maybe I should feed her this ancient milk as payback for vanishing on us."
"She'll kick your sorry butt to the Shadow Realm and back ten times over."Bakahno snorted,"Feed it to Kaiba."
"That works too."Tristan shrugged,"No, wait, then Serenity would kill me." Serena and Nova both giggled at that. Tristan sat down on the floor between the girls,"Wow, Kail's really gotten good at drawing."
"Yeah,"Solomon smiled,"when she's not picking a fight with someone she's drawing. Half the time I find her so buried in her work she won't even notice someone coming in."
"Isn't that dangerous?"
"When'd you wake up, T'ea?"Tristan turned to the brunette, who was lazily rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"About the time I heard you yelling about old milk."T'ea smiled,"I'm suprised you didn't wake Serenity."
"She sleeps almost as hard as her brother."Tristan rolled his eyes.
"Where am I? What's going on?"Serenity looked around.
Everything was dark. Shadows and mist made it almost impossible to see. Suddenly two figues steppout of the shadows. One wearing a light blue cloak, the other a white one. The blue cloaked figure stepped up to Serenity,"Serenity."
Serenity couldn't find her voice, (that happens alot, doesn't it?) 'It couldn't be.'
"Then you do remember who I am."the blue cloaked figure smiled.
"You were always in my dreams."Serenity was shaking,"I stopped seeing you after Joey and I got separated. You tried to warn me about our parents splitting up, but I wouldn't listen."
"And because you didn't listen I could no longer contact you. Then, you being with your brother again restored my ability to contact you. Now, I must warn you."
"I'm listening."Serenity sat down in a chair that appeared behind her,"But first, who are you?"
"That will be revealed in due time, my Serenity. Now, give me your hand."Serenity out her right hand and the figure slipped a ring on her pointer finger. "This ring will help you in your fight against Seth."
Serenity examined the ring. It was pure gold, and had a gold cat head with ruby eyes on it. "It's beautiful."
The white cloaked figure stepped up,"A great battle is ahead of you. I warn you now, without the Millenium Puzzle you will not be able to win. Even then, a great sacrifice will have to be made to defeat your enemy."
"But good will also come of this."the blue clad figure stared into Serenity's eyes,"I cannot tell you what good will come, but it will. Now, you must wake, the battle will soon begin."
Serenity could feel herself being pulled away. As she began to wake the two figures pulled their cloaks off. The white cloaked one was a young woman with the head of a black cat. Serenity turned her attention to the blue cloaked figure, a beautiful young woman with ankle length black hair. "Wha? Those two, Kail's pictures...." And then she woke up.
Joey glanced over to her and nodded,"Something's really got Serenity, T'ea, and Bakura ticked, and sad."
"What are you two talking about?"Kaiba looked at them, mostly Joey, like he, erm, they were nuts.
