Disclaimer- Yu-gi-oh is not mine, doesn't anyone else know? I think I'll go watch X-men evolution, I like that show!

Joey- *laughs* You LIKE x-men evolution?!?

Lava- *blushes* No, I don't! I was just.. Er.. NOOOO!!!! *locks herself in the bathroom*

Seto- Nice going pup! You just got rid of the authoress!

Joey- HEY! DON'T CALL ME PUP! I AM NOT A DOG, DO I LOOK LIKE A DOG TO YOU? I DON'T EVEN OWN A DOG.. *Yami presses the mute button on a remote and all of Joey's loud ranting disappears!*

Lava- Do you know how useful that would be in real life? Anyway, I actually survived my sister's sleepover by going to see the Matrix 2, which I liked but my other sister and my dad didn't understand, they are such idiots.now! On to the reviews! I've been revising how to say some of the pets in German, so guess what you lucky reviewers get? That's right, German pets and if you don't know German then you'll have to guess what it is!

To Nadako-Mika- *Gives einen Hund (Maybe Joey should have that one)*Hmmm, I could try to work Malik into the story somehow. *thinks* He might come in some time, you'll have to see. *looks frantically around* Yami? How can I get Malik into the story? (Yami- *shrugs*) You're not very imaginative for a 5000 year old Pharaoh. I know that Malik is cute! ^^''

To yugiohfan- *Gives eine Katze*Yep, it WILL be longer, when I stop staying up all night X.x'' Thankies! ^^

To Dark-Illusion- *Gives ein Pferd*I will *whispers really quickly* when I finally get some sleep. *cheesy grin*

To YuGiMegami- *Gives ein Meerschweinchen*I know why you like Yami- BECAUSE HE'S CUTE!! *sweatdrops* Sorry. I totally love Yami! ^^'' Next time I don't update for ages I give you full permission to attack me with a chainsaw! Is my story really your favourite at the moment? I'm so touched! *wipes tear from eye* No seriously I am! I really have to update soon now! I can't take the pressure! *jumps off a cliff* (Everyone- O.o'')

To Rage- *Gives einen Hamster (That one's hard to guess. not)*Thankies. Personally, I think I give myself enough credit and that everyone who thinks I don't is crazy! ^^'' That's what you get when you hang around with someone who has as much self confidence as a sheep.

To Yami's Angel- *Gives eine Schlange*I'm actually alive! (But even more sleep deprived!) About a week back I went to a disco with lots of little kids, but some of my friends were there. The most evil thing about little kids' discos is that I end up chaperoning them, so all little kids from ages 4 to 11 come to this disco where they play loads of crap music and really bug me. Last time one of my sister's friends went off crying because a guy wouldn't dance with her and said that he didn't fancy her back and because it was like a 3 month anniversary of when her favourite grandma died, so guess who ended up spending the whole evening talking to her. -.- ''

To BoyCrazyDarkMagicianChick- *Gives eine Wustenspringmaus*Thankies! ^^ I like giving people trophies; it makes them guilty that I don't have one! MWHAHAHAHA!!! I'm ALWAYS in a rush when I review stuff!

To Sia- *Gives eine Schildkroten (When I was younger I always wanted one of these, but now I think that they'd be really boring as pets.)*U.U'' I hate school. It's really crap. Someone in my class really thinks that I'm a witch that can cast spells on him and that I'm psychic. He is such a dumbass, but he makes up cool songs which kinda compensates. I went off being shy, it doesn't suit my style. Usually I pretend to be shy when I first get a teacher so then they like me then.. BANG! I turn evil and suddenly get my own personal view! Mwhahaha!! I think that was one of my lamest chapters! (Excluding this one. -.-'')

To Minnie- *Gives einen Papagei*Lol! My little brother who's six, gives me a really hard time and is always hitting me with stuff/ his fists. Eight year olds are really annoying though. I know that they plot against you all the time, because I plot against them all the time ^^''. That is so not fair that you have a pool! I want a pool! I'm gonna complain to my mum that I don't have a pool when I finish writing this chapter!

Lava- Where's Bakura and Ryou? *looks around*

Bakura- *In a different room with a terrified looking Ryou* MWHAHAHA!! In here, none of your friends can here you.. party! *A disco ball comes down from the ceiling and music starts up*

Ryou- *dances* Night fever, night fever!

Lava- Oh well! On with the chapter!

~+~+~+Things can Change~+~+~+ By YamiLava

On their way back to the palace, Yami turned to Serenity.

"You'll always tell me how you feel right?"

"Of course I will." Serenity frowned remembering something.

"Why did you get rid of Gosei?"

"You know him?"

"We've met. Why did you?"

"I. I don't know." Yami shook his head, his conscience had been reasoning with him a lot more since he had been spending time with Serenity.

"Let him go free."

"What?"

"Set him free. He's working as a slave for you, you were meant to be his friend."

"I don't know if I should." Yami bit his lip, if he did then it would prove him wrong and nobody proves the Pharaoh wrong.

"Please Yami." He looked into her pleading eyes and knew that he wouldn't say no.

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+

So when Yami got back to the palace he went down into the slave room. The guards at the entrance looked rather shocked when Yami came and asked to see one of the slaves.

"But why?" The first one asked.

"Don't question my orders, just go get him now." The second one went and retrieved Gosei.

"'Ere you go." He said as he threw Gosei down at Yami's feet.

"Gosei?" Yami said when he had chosen to ignore the guard's behaviour. He looked down at the frail old man who used to be one of his mother and father's best friends.

"Yami? Is that you?" A fond smile appeared on the man's face. "You look exactly like your father did when he was your age, all except for your eyes, they're like your mothers." Tears swelled in Yami's eyes.

"I came down here to tell you that. that you're free. I am so sorry, I know that I can never make up what I've done to you. You are always welcome here in the palace, my friend." The smile on Gosei's face turned into a wide grin.

"Thank you Yami. I forgive you, I just hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me."

"Forgive you? For what?"

"Everything." Yami stared at the old man.

"You have done nothing wrong."

Just then, an adviser came through the door.

"Pharaoh Yami, some villagers in the settlement west of here have been causing a disturbance. They say that they want to see you personally."

"Why?"

"They didn't say." He sighed.

"I will leave immediately."

"Shall I prepare the army?" Yami rolled his eyes.

"That won't be necessary. They are only villagers."

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+

He got back to his room and explained to Serenity.

"If that's the case, I'm coming too!" She said when he had finished.

"Do you really think that I'd leave you behind?" He leant forward and kissed her on the forehead. They packed some things and left the room. When they were walking down the corridor Anzu stuck her head out of her door.

"Where are you going?"

"I have to go away." He said plainly as he continued to walk. Anzu ran after him.

"Well, can I come?"

"No. It's too dangerous."

"Too dangerous? When are you coming back?"

"I have no idea." Anzu stopped. She was looking rather irritated.

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+

When they reached the door, Seto joined them.

"Who's going to look after the palace when we're gone?" He asked.

"Seto. I want you to stay and look after it."

"But."

"I can look after myself." Yami cut in. "And I need someone I trust to look after this place. I also need you to watch Keisotsu and the rest of my advisers. I don't want them to come back and find that everyone here has been executed." Seto frowned, but sighed.

"Fine. Just be careful. And if you're not back in three days then I'm going to come find you." Yami and Serenity mounted the horse that was tied up. Yami cut the rope that bound the horse to the wall and they rode off in a westward direction.

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+

They had been riding for a few minutes when a small settlement came into view.

"This place. is familiar." Serenity mumbled. The horse galloped closer and closer until they reached the first house, then they dismounted.



Lava- Well that wasn't a very interesting chapter. -.-'' Sorry it was short again but I was showing some guys in my form that I'm just as good at fighting as them and I kinda sprained my arm, so I can't type too fast and it get boring after a while. The upside is that I did show them that I can fight as well as them ^^''

Everyone- *backs away*

Lava- Aren't you all so sympathetic for me. -.-'' Also I'm still tired because yesterday I went raft building, I had to do A LOT of sport and then I went to sleep at about 1 in the morning and woke up at 8 to watch Yu-gi- oh. Usually I'm not too tired when I get 7 hours sleep. Stupid raft builing. -.-''

Everyone- *Backs further away*

Lava- Oh yeah. My aunt's having a costume party and I want to come as a character/ monster from Yu-gi-oh, anyone got any ideas? Review!
