Nulliira: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, or any of the stuff we might refer to.

Yami: Thank Ra!

Quave: *tears up* I heard that!

Yugi: *raises eyebrow* what's with her?

Nulliira: she found out who died in the 5th Harry Potter book..

Quave: *slaps Null's shoulder, then takes a seat* I wasn't expecting that person of all people.. just.. GRRR.. it's not fair! *sniffles, catching a glare from the others* Fine, fine.. I'll get on with it.. Err.. Well.. Before I start writing.. Umm, so everyone knows this isn't going to be updated a hell of a lot because I'm typing up my crack addict stories to put on ff.net too.

Nulliira: Even that mafia one?

Quave: *nod* Uh-huh. okay, I'm in a hurry.. soooooo.. Here we go - this one's kind of short.

Yugi: Hey Quave, you're forgetting something!

Quave: Oh. *Looks blank, then suddenly lights up as if a switch was flipped* OH!.. Lalla and Fizzle, post the comments in my ujournal with the rest of the Halo and Mech players k? I don't really bother with the site

Nulliira: But I do - Rin - don't worry.. There's already a yaoi couple in here, we just haven't built up the story that far yet ^_^

Yami: And it's not us!

Nulliira&Quave: *Exchange glances*

"Relation to High Priest Seto?" The pharaoh found himself asking, as if he didn't recognize his own voice. Lanakila didn't answer, just gave a nod of her head. "Why are you not in his presence?"

"He sent me away, his last minute work was more important than a visit, pharaoh" Lanakila answered this time for herself. It was foolishly unexpected; the pharaoh reacted by holding a look of surprise, his eyebrows almost fully disappearing under the bangs that hung over his forehead. "I was being escorted to my chambers when I met my fellow magicians"

The pharaoh looked oddly at the three, what she just said was sinking in. What last minute work? There wasn't any work his priests did that he wasn't aware of. She'd just given him a small hint, or a push per say, towards the path of truth, whether she was aware of it or not. "I see" He answered with a solemn nod of his head. "A magician, yourself? Whom do you serve?" he asked, prying in a rather nonchalant manner. As she was giving her answer, the voice seemed to fade and noise from around them grew as the vision seemed to darken slowly..

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Yami was woken up as abruptly, as it was unpleasant, when he heard Yugi's yelling and a massive amount of noise that surrounded the boy. As he was rubbing the sleep from his own eyes, growing slightly more alert, he listened to hear the other voices of Tristan and Joey apparently in a struggle. //Yugi?//

Yugi's insistent attempts to stop the two from an argument, which was unsuccessful anyway, quieted immediately when he heard Yami speak to him. \\Yes Yami?\\

//What's going on?//

\\Joey and I were having a friendly duel and Serenity came out to watch. Joey got all angry like he normally does, when Serenity and Tristan struck up a conversation. Joey decided to say something smart and the two have been at it since. Serenity left the room a while ago but I don't think they've noticed\\

//Oh.. Might as well stay up now//

\\We woke you?\\

Yami didn't answer. Instead, moments later, he materialized beside Yugi to see Tristan and Joey trying to get one another in a headlock as they each were yelling out things that would scar this page. Raising an eyebrow, he tiredly looked at his hikari then back at the scene. No point in trying to stop it really, they were off in their own world; so he took a seat and got comfortable, deciding to watch to his amusement.

"Hey watch it!" Yugi was shouting at them moments later, as he dove behind the back of the couch for protection when Joey's shoe went flying overhead. Joey was falling to the ground, Tristan winning, when Joey reached out to try and catch himself; but ended up grabbing the cord of a lamp sitting on an accent table, taking it down with him.

CRASH!

Yami was sitting on the couch rather calmly, a grin spread across his face as if he was trying to stifle a laugh. The lamp had shattered into pieces, causing Joey and Tristan to actually stop fighting.

"What is going on here?" A voice came, as a hurried Serenity came rushing in, but stopped immediately seeing the lamp and the boys. "That's it! That's it! I've had ENOUGH!" She cried out, "You guys do this every time!" She was glaring them down, waiting and almost daring them with her expression to say something.

\\Yami..\\

//Hmm?//

\\I think we should get going\\ Yugi said as he tried to ignore Serenity scolding the boys on their behavior.

//Yeah, guess so// Yami then rose from his seat and cleared his throat, "Well.. We'll see you tomorrow" He said, but got drowned out over the boys trying to reason with Serenity, while starting to argue over whose fault the broken lamp was.

"Bye guys!" Yugi said as he made for the door, opening it then stood by as he let Yami pass first, then shut the door behind them. "At least Tea wasn't there"

Yami nodded, giving a silent agreement of appreciation. "School tomorrow?"

Yugi's face paled slightly, "Er..yeah"

"Forget something?" Yami's face flashed a look of amusement as they began their walk.

"My homework" Yugi made a little grunt, but didn't let Yami answer, "I'll do it when we get back"

Yami nodded, letting it slide. He grew quiet during their walk, looking around at their surroundings as he got lost in slight thought. It was a few moments later he caught Yugi looking at him, "Hmm?" He mumbled with an expression questioning his, then reached over, casually pushing part of Yuug's bangs away from his face, which protested and fell back anyway.

"It's just you've been real quiet" Yugi said as his stride slowed, "I mean lately... just not yourself you know?"

Yami's fingers subconsciously found his belt loops in which they wrapped around them as he looked for the right words. His mouth thinned into a line, then pursed before thinning out again. Finally he sighed and gave a nod of defeat, "I think my memory is coming back" he answered.

"That's good, right?" Yugi asked, looking at his yami out of the corner of his eye.

"I don't know" Yami said honestly, "I get random glimpses of what I assume is the past, but I can't seem to put them all together"

Yugi nodded, "It'll come together Yami, eventually. What kind of things do you see?"

"A great battle.." Yami said, his voice growing slightly quiet. "Pieces before it too.. Least I think it was before. I was arguing and questioning people mostly."

Yugi grew quiet, not really sure how to answer to that. His darker half obviously didn't specify on much, so he wasn't sure if he was hitting a soft spot or not. "Well, if you need to talk Yami.." He trailed off, offering a small smile.

"I know Abiou" Yami said as they approached home. He waited patiently for Yugi to get the locked door, and then followed inside to a refreshing smell of dinner. "Abiou?"

"Hmm?" Yugi mumbled as he closed and locked the door, and then turned to face him.

"Homework" directed Yami, planting a small kiss on Yugi's forehead before heading off for the kitchen without giving a chance of argument.
