Past to Future Love

by Happily Melancholy

Pegasus is a teenager from America who finds out that moving to a new country can offer many positive changes as well as negative ones. Yaoi, AU, and mild cursing.

16. Reunion and the Millennium Eye

*Seto is sitting in a large bathtub and the hikaris and I are washing him.  Ryou is washing Seto's hair, Malik is putting some kind of organic facial mask on Seto's face, Yugi is washing Seto's body, and I am giving Seto a manicure.*

Seto:  A little lower Yugi.

Yugi:  If I go any lower I'll meet your crotch.

Seto:  That's the point.

Me:  Such a naughty Seto.

Seto:  Malik this mask is all tingly and stuff.  Is it supposed to do that?

Malik:  Yeah that shows that it is working.  I'll remove it in a few minutes.

Seto:  Hey I'm not hurrying you or anything.  I was just asking.

Malik:  I know, but I have to take it off before five minutes is up or your face will melt into an unrecognizable blob.

Seto:  What!  You didn't tell me that when you put it on my face.  Why didn't you tell me?

Yugi:  Because you would not have let him put it on your face.

Me:  I agree with Yugi there and so does Ryou.

Seto:  You three shut up.

Ryou:  Who are you telling to shut up?  Nair and shampoo don't go well together.

Seto:  Sorry Ryou. 

Ryou:  That's better.

Me:  Yugi wants an apology also.

Seto:  *grumbling* Sorry.

Yugi:  *in a whiny voice* Sweetcandie I didn't hear him and he said it all mean. 

Me:  Seto apologize correctly.

Seto:  Sorry.

Me: Better.  Now Malik will you please remove the facial mask for Seto?  *Malik removes the facial mask and I hand Seto a large towel*

Seto:  I didn't even get pampered.

Me:  I'm sorry.  That didn't go like I expected it to and I'm sorry.  I'll pamper you while the readers read the chapter okay. 

Seto:  OK.

Me:  Hikaris say the disclaimer.

Hikaris:  Sweetcandie does not own Yugioh and Seto we are sorry for ruining your pamper session, so we would like to make it up to you.

Seto:  How?

Malik:  Come with us and we'll show ya.

Seto:  Am I going to like this?

Ryou:  We have a feeling that you will love it.

Yugi:  And you don't even need clothes. 

Me:  I will make sure not to interrupt you guys.  *door closes and sounds of Seto whooping can be heard*

Me:  Serena I am not pampering Seto, but take my word for it when I tell you that he doesn't mind.  I think the hikaris are taking care of that for me.  *something breaks in the room*  Yeah they are really taking care of that for me.  So while Seto continues to get "pampered" why don't you guys enjoy the chapter.

"I don't know what the dreams mean  No one has ever complained of such dreams before."

"We thought that we should ask you.  Yami Malik and I thought that it had something to do with the Millennium Rod that Malik carries."

"Has he been doing anything differently?"

"Well he has been studying the origins and history of that new game."

"The Duel Monsters game?"

"Yes."

"I don't know how the game could trigger such dreams, but I will look into it.  Maybe Tatanya knows something that I don't.  All I know is that the game was played by the powerful people of Egypt.  They used the game and the monsters to conquer and overthrow rival powers.  They would summon the monsters from a place called the Shadow Realm.  The monsters that you see now are nothing but holograms, but the monsters back then were real.  My family stayed away from the game, afraid that it would corrupt the family and make the future guardians power hungry."

"How would playing the game make one power hungry, especially your family?"
"We held the Millennium items which meant that we could use the items to our advantage."

"So with the items you could become all powerful if you wanted too."  Isis said getting the picture.

 "Yes, but enough of the past, where is Malik now. 

"He is at the coffee shop where he and the others usually meet.  Yami Malik went with him just in case something should happen."  Isis greeted Tatanya and handed her the Ahnk.

"Here Tatanya, ever since Joseph gave this to me it has been throwing pictures of you in my mind.  Maybe I should leave it with you two."  Joseph waited for Isis to finish then cleared his throat.

"I will look into your question about the dreams, but if Malik has another one, call me immediately."  Isis nodded and Joseph walked her to the door and showed her out while Tatanya stood behind the sofa. 

"This was meant for me.  Why did you not give it to me?"

"Because I thought that it would be better to go to Isis."

"You thought that I couldn't handle the power didn't you?"  Joseph looked away.

"I will not let my emotions prompt my responses.  I promised remember?"

"Yes.  You will try your hardest not to interfere with anything?"

"Promise."

"Then be my guest.  The Ahnk is yours."  Tatanya slipped the Ahnk around her neck and turned to her husband.

"Did Isis say that Malik was having dreams?"

"Yes, something about a boy and a girl in Egypt.  The boy was being marked in his dream and the girl was about to when his dream ended.  Does this sound familiar to you?"

"Yes, the chosen holder must have found the Millennium Eye."

"Exactly."

"I guess I didn't disrupt anything after all."

"I guess not.  Their destinies seem to be falling right into place.  Now I just want to know who the bearer of the Millennium Eye is."

"Well let's sit back and see."

A group of childhood friends sat in a booth at the local coffee shop.  They drank lattés and cappuccinos and occasionally reached for the variety of doughnuts and pastries in the center of the table.

"We are at the biweekly Getting Away from your Job meeting.  All members must not have anything that pertains to his or her job or they will be severely punished and no one even speaks of his or her job or they will be punished.  The last donut goes to the person who gets it first…"

"Okay Yugi, how long have we been doing this, you don't have to say the rules at each meeting."  Seto laughed and stole Yugi's jelly doughnut.  Yugi smacked Seto's hand and took his doughnut back.

"I say the rules every meeting because you always seem to forget them."  Yugi bit into his doughnut and set it back on his plate.

"Any news?"  Malik said to the group of people sitting around the table.

"Well the Duel Monsters creator invited me to see him.  I don't know what for, but just being invited is enough for me.  Maybe he's heard about the great job I do at work and wants to congratulate me."

"Yeah he can congratulate you for having sex in your office, Ryou."  Malik said and kissed Ryou's blushing face.

"You said job and work Ryou."

"Oh sorry."

"Well I was invited to see him too."  Malik said.

"Seto was too."  Joey said sitting beside his boyfriend.  Seto nodded and looked at everyone else.

"So was I."  Said Yugi.

"I was also invited." 

"I don't feel special anymore."  Ryou said looking at the table and sulking.

"I can make you feel special.  Why don't you and Bakura invite Yami Malik and I over tonight."

"I'll have to see what I have planned tonight."

"That reminds me, Yugi, are you and Yami still coming over tonight?"  Seto, aggravating Joey, asked.

"Ohh  yeah.  I'm not passing up this romp in the bed."

"You all are still little sex animals."

"Deston don't criticize.  Just because you haven't gotten any yet, doesn't mean that we have to stop getting ours."

"For your information Seto, I am saving mine for the right person."

"Anyone been messing with you?"
"No, ever since all those men saw you and Malik beat up Alex, they have refrained from touching me against my will.  Now back to the invitations, does any one know why they were invited to meet the Duel Monsters creator?"  All the members at the table shook their heads and Deston sighed.

"Well I guess we will find out when we get there, but I wish everyone luck.  I hope we were all invited for a good reason"  All the members at the table nodded and Yugi blurted out,

"Okay enough with the business stuff we are supposed to be relaxing, not talking about our jobs…"  Seto took a doughnut and shoved it into Yugi's mouth.

"That's better."  Yugi took the doughnut out of his mouth and glared at Seto.  He then picked up his jelly doughnut and smashed it in Seto's face.  When he did it, he ran out of the shop and jumped in his car, locking the doors.   All the others in the shop put their hands over their mouths to keep from laughing while Seto slowly recovered from the shock.

"I'm going to kill him."  Seto said and running out the door, his trench coat following behind him. Deston ran to the shop window to see Seto trying to pick the locks to Yugi's car.  Seto picked one of the locks and opened the door.  Deston and the others could see Seto pull Yugi out of the car, lift him up and hang him on one of the streetlamp hooks.  Seto pointed and laughed and so did the others.  Joey ran outside giving Seto some napkins and everyone else followed.

"Get me down Seto.  Come on this isn't funny."

"Yes it is."

"Shut up Malik.  Come on someone get me down."  Yugi begged.  Cars rolled by and some sounded their horns while others laughed and pointed.  After figuring that Yugi had had enough,  Seto pulled him down and ran away to his limo, with Yugi behind him yelling obscenities.  Deston's limo pulled up and she said,  

"We are such great adults aren't we, Ryou."

"Yeah we haven't changed at all.  They say you are supposed to get better with age."

"I guess that does not apply to us."

"No it doesn't, I'll tell everyone that you left.  I guess I'll be out here for awhile because Yugi just gave Seto a wedgie and we both know that Seto will not let that go unpunished."  Deston nodded, got in her limo, and it sped away down the road.

~A week later~

"Wake up Deston.  Come on we are scheduled to leave this afternoon."  Deston lifted her head and stared at the clock on her wall.

"Nolee it is eight o'clock in the morning on a weekend.  Is something wrong with you?"

"No, now come on, you have to get ready to leave."

"Okay let me say it again it is eight o'clock…"

"I heard that already, now get up."  Deston looked at the hologram, turned her face the opposite direction, and put two pillows on her head.  Nolee got onto the bed and started to jump up and down while yelling nonsense.

"Nolee don't be annoying."

"This is what you did to your parents when they didn't get up."

"Remind me to remove this form of waking me up from your programming."

"Okay now get up.  Hey."

"You are slow today."

"Are those insults?"

"They are whatever you want them to be."

"Yeah right you just insulted me on a sly."  Deston sat up in her bed and leaned back on the headboard.  The little hologram seeing that its programmer wasn't going to be moving without a little help, sat on the young woman and stared at her.  Soon the hologram gave up on the staring contest and resorted to pulling Deston out of the bed.

"You aren't going to leave me alone are you?"

"No, now go shower."  Deston knowing that she had been beaten, got up from the bed and went into the bathroom closing the door behind her.  Nolee heard the shower turn on and listened for Deston to enter.  Nolee heard nothing after a few minutes and materialized into the bathroom, only to find Deston leaning against the wall sleep.  Nolee made two large cymbals appear in her hands and she crashed them together.  Deston screamed and fell to the floor clutching her robe around her.  She was now sprawled out on the bathroom floor and trying to find the cause of her scare.  It didn't take long to understand what caused the noise, Deston saw Nolee standing over her with the cymbals in her hands and grinning.

"Take a shower or you are going to be late."  The little hologram said and skipped out of the bathroom, blowing a kiss to Deston as she closed the door.  Deston blew the hair out of her face and began her morning routine of getting ready.

On an island a young man ran through his castle walls giving orders.  Maybe the orders would have been followed more quickly if the employees weren't laughing at their employer. 

"Kimo I want you to pick up Miss Waynes in one of my choppers."

"Yes Sir."  The broad shouldered man said and then began laughing.  Max began to become agitated because every person he went to with an order answered him then started laughing.

"What is so funny?  I never knew that the way I gave orders was so amusing."

"Sorry Sir, but your… fly is open."  Kimo said this and started to chuckle again.  Croquet stood behind Max, desperately trying to control his laughter. 

"Wha?"  Max looked down and saw his shirt coming through his pants.  His face turned red and he quickly zipped up his pants.  Max then turned around and looked at Croquet.  "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I was trying, but each time I opened my mouth to say something you would run somewhere else and I didn't want to interrupt you while you were giving orders."

"You all are against me.  I just know it."  Croquet led Max to a chair and pushed him down in it.

"Why don't you settle down Sir, you are very stressed out and need to relax for a moment.  Let me take care of everything."  Croquet turned from the young Pegasus and barked out orders to everyone through his walkie talkie.  Everyone began to move immediately following the orders that were issued.  When everyone had cleared the room except Croquet and Max, Croquet helped Max out of the chair.

"Come Master Pegasus you have to look nice for your lady friend when she gets here."

"I look fine now."

"Take my word:  No you don't."  Max followed Croquet through the winding hallways so he could be dressed appropriately.

Deston walked out of her chambers in a black ,slim-fitting dress.  The dress tied around her neck which left her back out and the dress hugged all of her curves.  The dress fit comfortably around her waist and hips and fell free at her knees, where the dress stopped.  One her feet were a pair of tie up sandals with very high heels and tiny gold balls at the end of the tie up strings.  Around her neck she wore the Tauk and gold eye glitter.  On one of her arms she added a gold bracelet and in her ears a pair of drop earrings.

"How do I look Nolee?"

"Are you going to find out what this guy looks like or are you trying to seduce him."

"There is that part of Malik in you."

"You look really nice though.  We have to get going, we are supposed to be there by two o'clock."  The little hologram handed Deston her lap top and stood by her side.

"Nolee?"

"Huh."

"We don't know where we are supposed to be going."

"How can this guy be so smart yet so dumb.  He didn't even give us directions."

"Nolee…"  As Deston was going to respond to the hologram, when she was interrupted by her secretary.

"Miss Waynes some men are here telling me that they are supposed to be picking you up."

"To go where?"  Deston heard one man say something about Duel Monsters creator and understood immediately.

"I'll be right down Anisa.  Tell them to give me a moment."

"Yes Ma'am."  Deston heard the intercom turn off and she grabbed her purse.  Nolee disappeared into the laptop and Deston walked out of her room, locking the door behind her.  When Deston reached the first floor of her company she looked at the men wearing suits.

"Are you supposed to be taking me to see the Duel Monsters creator?"
"Yes we are.  If you will follow us to the chopper outside."  Deston followed the men out to the chopper pad and got in.  Waving to her employees, she and the chopper left in the loud rhythmic beating of the chopper blade. 

Seto pulled up to the last of his friends' houses.  Ryou ran out of the door, pulling his yami with him.  Seto and the others could see Yami Bakura disappear into the ring and Ryou ran to the limo.  When he got into the car he looked at everyone.

"So Seto where are we going?  And where is Mokuba?"

"I don't know Ryou and Mokuba is with Deston's parents."  Everyone in the car looked at Seto as if he had gone crazy.

"What do you mean you don't know?"  Malik said.

"I didn't get any directions to the place, I assumed that you guys did."

"Well you assumed wrong."

"Shut up Yugi."

"You are getting worse and worse everyday Seto."

"I told you dat ya need ta start sleepin' more, but no you don't like to listen."  Seto rolled his eyes at Joey and then addressed Malik and Yugi.

"You two can walk home."  They waited in the car until they heard someone knock on the limo window.  Seto let the window down, wanting to see who would dare put knuckle prints on it.

"Yes?"

"Are you Seto Kaiba?"

"Yes I am."

"The Duel Monsters creator asked us to pick you guys up."

"I can drive there myself."

"Well unless your car can go through water, I suggest you follow us to the Industrial Illusions private jet."

"Lead the way."  Seto ordered his limo driver to follow the men in the car ahead of them.  When they reached the jet, a man escorted everyone out of the car and onto the jet.  All the guests took their seats and were immediately tended to by some very handsome men.

"I think the Duel Monsters creator is gay."  Seto said quietly to the group.

"Yeah because these guys sure are, but I'm not complaining at least they're hot."

"I must agree with you on that one Ryou."

Hey don't look to hard.

I'm not Yami.  Ryou smiled and continued to look at the man's butt in front of him, knowing that his yami was getting just a twinge of jealousy.

It's not nice to get me jealous Ryou.  I kill people when I get jealous.  Ryou without delay turned his eyes to his lap.

Good boy.

You are so mean.

I know.  Ryou snapped out of the conversation with his yami when he heard Malik say,

"Hey Ryou you're not enjoying the nice pieces of ass floating around on this jet."

"Stupid yami won't let me."  Ryou mumbled, still staring at his lap.

"That sucks man, because they are real nice."

"Leave me alone."  Everyone stopped talking when the pilot came over the intercom.

"Alright everyone you are headed to Duelist Kingdom.  I hope you enjoy the ride."

Everyone on the jet held out the champagne glasses that the young men had just filled and yelled.

"Duelist Kingdom here we come."

When the chopper landed the men that sat on each side of Deston jumped out.  Deston prepared to get out, but found it extremely difficult to get out of the chopper with the dress and shoes she was wearing.

"Um excuse me, could you please help me get down."  The man known as Kimo walked up and picked Deston up.  He carried her off the chopper and then set her on the ground.

"Thank you."

"My pleasure."  The men started walking again and Deston followed with her laptop and purse in hand.  She looked around at the scenery.  She was on an island full of lush and tropical trees.  She could smell and see the ocean from the landing pad.  Birds roamed the island and Deston heard their calls.  The men were now leading her down a path surrounded by trees and vegetation.  When they reached the end of the path, Deston's eyes widened as she looked at old medieval castle that towered over everything else.  She could see the many different towers and the long series of steps that led to the entrance.

"Will you be okay with the steps Ma'am?"  Deston nodded and they continued on to the castle entrance.  When they finally reached the entrance one of the men pulled out a set of keys and unlocked the two large, iron doors. 

"We will show you to your room.  The Master is still getting ready."

"I did not bring anything to wear.  I thought that this meeting would only last a few hours and I would be on my way back home."

"It is okay, the Master has ordered you a variety of clothing for your stay here."

"Oh."

"Do you wish to proceed to your room."  Deston nodded and the men led her down a hallway past dozens of portraits that oddly had not been signed.  Deston walked past numerous rooms each decorated with it's own theme.  The men finally stopped and Deston stopped behind them.

"This is it."  Kimo opened the door and pushed the doors open.  Deston looked inside and the room was beautiful.  It was in her favorite color gold.  Rich wood dressers and tables made the room even more appealing and in the middle of the room was a large four poster bed with satin sheets and huge pillows.

"Thank you."  Deston walked into the room and closed the door.  After setting things on the bed she heard noises coming from the room next to her.

"Dammit Yami Malik quit trying to hump my leg.  Hold on let me get that potion that Tatanya gave to me for you."  Deston ran out of the room immediately and banged on the door next door.  She smiled when she was greeted with the face of Malik. 

"When did you get here?"

"Just a few minutes ago.  My room is right next to yours."

"Aren't the rooms cool.  Look my favorite color, purple.  Seto and the others are on the other side, do you want to go see them."  Deston nodded and Malik pulled her down the hall while Yami Malik disappeared back into the Rod.  They reached the others' rooms and they all celebrated in Ryou's room.

"Isn't this place great?  I love this color brown.  It matches my eyes perfectly."

"I must admit the guy did go all out for us."  Seto commented, sipping some berry drink.

"I'm hungry."  When Joey said this a stout woman walked into the room.

"The Master said that dinner will be served in the dining room in half an hour."  The lady bowed then exited the room.

"Well I guess we grubbin' in thirty minutes."  They all laughed and waited for dinner to approach.        

"Croquet, how do I look?"

"You look fine for the thirtieth time.  Yes I have been counting."

"I'm just nervous.  What do you think they will do?  What will they think of me?"

"I'm sure they will be fine.  Dinner is starting in a few minutes and you know that your mother taught you to always be punctual."

"Yes she did."  Max said looking at the portrait of his parents that he hung on the wall.

"Don't get discouraged.  Come on and take a leap of faith."  Max straightened his tie and hair and walked out of his room door.

"Are you ready to face them Master Pegasus?"
"More ready than I will ever be."
"Off to dinner then."

Thirty minutes had passed and everyone was sitting at the table waiting for the host to enter.  All around the table, suspense filled the air.  Fingers were being drummed on the table, eyes wandered, napkins were rung, and hands twisted in sweaty masses.  Everyone waited in anticipation for the Industrial Illusions owner.  While waiting Deston looked above the mantle piece to see a portrait covered with some type of a fabric.

"I wonder why that picture is covered.  The others aren't covered."

"Maybe it isn't finished."  Seto answered and looked back at his plate.

"Maybe you are right."  After they finished talking, a middle aged man walked into the room.  He wore shades, so no one could tell who he was and his voice was scratchy.  Actually to the guests around the table he looked like every other security agent, so they didn't pay much attention.  The man nodded to the kitchen workers and they all brought out food and served the guests.  When they had been served and began to eat a young man came to the table and sat down quickly.  He put his head down quickly, letting his hair cover his face.  All the guests instantly stopped eating and some even began to choke.  Ryou put his fork down and was the first to speak,

"M-Max.  Is that you?  Max, hey you answer me."  There was still no answer and Ryou remained in his seat.

"Max is dat you buddy?"  Joey also didn't get an answer and then Seto mumbled out,

"You white haired son of a bitch you made it.  The son of a bitch made it."  Seto smiled, but didn't move and neither did the person who he was addressing.  Yugi trying to get over shock knocked over his wine and water glass.

"Sorry.  Max talk to us if it's you."  The figure slowly lifted his head and looked at all the guests around the table.  A big smile came into view on his face and he spoke softly,

"Hello everyone.  I-I missed you all a lot.  It's not very entertaining being on this island alone.  I'm sorry about everything.  Y- you know the leaving and stuff.  It was the only way I could function.  I had to get away from Japan, it only brought me back bad memories."  Everyone looked at him and grinned, still trying to get over the initial shock.  Ryou not being able to take it any longer ran to Max and threw his arms around him.

"We don't care about that stuff we are just happy to see you."

"Yeah Max."  Yugi said running up to him and hugging him too.  "That stuff doesn't matter to us, only you do."

"I've missed you so much.  I have had anyone to torment all these years."  Malik said hugging Max around the waist and lifting him up off the ground.

"Malik, Malik, ow okay I get the point.  Ow, come on let go."  Malik sat Max down and moved away.  Max tried to walk to Deston who was still sitting at the table, but he was tackled from behind.

"Me and Seto have missed ya man.  Who would have thought dat we would all be workin' for ya all these years."

"Yeah, I missed you.  You never told us anything or even wrote to tell us you were alright.  After awhile some of us assumed the worse."  Seto grabbed Max's head and gave him a nukie.

"Ow, aren't we adults now?  You still do that?"

"Yeah because no matter how old you get nukies still hurt."

"They sure the hell do."  Max said rubbing his head where Seto's knuckles were previously.

"I think dat we should celebrate ta night.  Get drunk, have sex…"

"And wake up with the biggest hangovers of our lives."  Ryou finished.  Max was steadily pulling himself from under Seto, trying desperately to get to Deston, who still had not moved from her seat at the table.  He pulled himself free and walked over to stand next to Deston.  She stood and looked at him without saying a word.  Max went to talk and she slapped him extremely hard, backing away from him.  Max grabbed his face and stared at her for a moment.  Feeling that he deserved the slap, Max walked closer to her, trying once again to say something.  She slapped him again and stepped back  again.  Out the corner of his eye Max could see his guards move to surround Deston.  He lifted his hand giving them a silent command to stay away.  Ryou and the others were looking in shock as Deston stood beside the table breathing heavily.  Max walked to her again and waited for her to swing again.  She took the bait and lifted her hand to land another blow to his face, but he caught her hand.  Not wanting her energy to go unused, she brought her other hand up to hit him.  Max reacting quickly caught that one too and held them firmly in his hands.  Deston tried to pull away, but found that it was no use.  She started to cry and Max pulled her to him.  She pushed him away and gave him a cold stare.

"You left me there."

"I…"

"Don't talk."  Max closed his mouth and listened as Deston spoke.

"You left me.  You only thought about yourself.  You didn't think about the people who you were going to hurt when you left."  Max turned to see all of his friends nodding slightly.

"I'm…"

"Sorry.  Is that what you were going to say?  Sorry doesn't make up for everything.  I waited for you to come back.  I cared for you that much.  I drilled into my head that you would be returning within weeks, but it turned out that I was way off.  Four years is way more that four weeks.  I still waited for you though and it seems that I have been rewarded with seeing you.  All those years that I stared at those cards my mind kept telling me that something was familiar about them, but I couldn't prove it because they were never signed.  So all my hopeful wishing started to diminish and I began to think that something had happened to you.  I tried my best to find you.  I searched in Austria, thinking that maybe you went back to your father's home land and I searched America, in the South where your mother grew up, but I found nothing.  I did everything that I could possibly do to find you, but then I gave up and felt that I should let you find me.  It worked."  Deston walked to Max and kissed him on the lips.  Max placed his arms around her waist slowly and responded to the kiss.

"I missed you so much."  Deston said against his lips and he kissed the top of her head.

"I missed you too."  Max could hear sniffling and he turned around to see Ryou and Yugi with napkins in their hands.

"We're fine don't mind us."  Max turned back to Deston and ordered his guards to leave.  The minute everyone was gone the yamis came from their items, attacking the two lovers.  They pushed Deston out of the way and dive bombed their recently found friend.  Yami hugged Max and Yami Malik smacked him across the back of the head.

"Ow dammit, what is it with my head.  It's not a damn volleyball."

"Shut up rich boy.  Hey I can practice my stealing here.  I don't think that I ever lost my touch, but what the hell."

"Anything comes up missing I am going to kick your ass."

"Really?  You know I would prefer a spanking."

"Damn sex crazed animal."  Max pulled himself away from the yamis and pulled his teenage sweetheart into his arms.

"I could hold you like this forever." He whispered in her ear.  Deston didn't say anything she only leaned into him more.  Max could see his friends start to depart, eventually leaving the two in the dining room alone.

"You have a lot of time to make up for."

"I'll try my best.  Where you want me to start?"

"Start tonight when you tell all of us what you have been up to."

"I'd be happy too."   The two continued to hug, but neither noticed the faint glowing of the Tauk around Deston's neck as it reacted to Max's own Millennium item.

"Hey look you guys our items are glowing."  Malik said as he looked at his rod.

"Yeah they are.  I wonder why they are doing that."

"Hey Seto you remember when my yami was trying to steal all the Millennium items?  Well when Yami Bakura got within close range my ring always glowed and one of the points indicated where the item was."

"It's not pointing anywhere is just glowing."  Yugi observed.

"Yeah, but I said in close range Yugi.  Maybe we moved out of the item's range.  When we find it we can give it to Joseph, he will know what to do with it."

"Alright then let's search for the item, but no one is to disturb Max and Deston.  Got it?"  Everyone nodded their head to Seto and split from the group to look for the item.

"Tatanya our items are glowing.  Get Mokuba I feel that we are about to find the owner of the Millennium Eye."   When they had gotten Mokuba the three stood in the middle of the room.

"Are we going to do the transport thing that I saw you two do before?"

"Yes."

"Alright.  Uh where are we going?"

"We don't know."

"Uh that doesn't make sense Joseph."

"No it doesn't, but it is the truth."

"Oh okay.  Let's get going then."   Joseph chanted in Egyptian and the three began to sink through the floor.

"This is so cool."  Mokuba yelled before he was gone completely.

Everyone was searching in the castle when they heard a scream come from a remote part.

"Ryou."  Everyone said as they raced toward the noise.  When they finally found Ryou he was alone except for two of Max's guards. 

"What's wrong?"

"I saw a mouse."

"But Master Pegasus has no mice here."  One of the guards said and looked at Ryou suspiciously.

"He has no mice?  Oh maybe I was mistaken, I am alright now."  Ryou blushed and looked down.  The guards nodded and walked away, leaving the group alone.

"Okay cough it up Ryou ya can't lie worth a damn."  Ryou just pointed to some large draperies and moved aside.  Malik went to the draperies and moved them aside.  A hand quickly came out and covered his mouth and Seto ran toward him, only to stop.  There stood Joseph, Mokuba , and Tatanya.  Joseph looked around and his eyes settled on Ryou.

"I'm sorry, but you just appeared out of the air.  I know that you transported here, but next time you could warn me.  I mean I turn around and no one is there and then I turn back around and you are looming over me.  That freaks me out."

"My apologies.  Where are we?"

"Everyone calls it Duelist Kingdom.  Come here little bro."  Mokuba ran to his older brother and stood beside him.

"Hey big bother have you met the owner of Duel Monsters yet, I want his autograph."  Seto smiled and replied,

"I'm pretty sure he will give it to you and maybe some cards too."

"Really?  Come on then."  Mokuba pulled his brother through the different parts of the castle trying to find the owner.  The guards looked at the newcomers not remembering them.

"Excuse me are you all supposed to be here?"

"Yes we were invited."

"How did you get here?"

"We came by air."

"So you took the jet."

"Uh yes, we took the jet.  Where is the owner now?"

"The Master is in the dinning room Sir.  Go down this hall and take a left."

"Thank you."  Joseph quickly  took the directions that the guard gave him.  He was followed by the others as he stood outside of the dinning room doors.

"Come on Joseph let's go in.  I want to meet the owner, so can get his autograph."  Joseph paused and looked at all the items.  They were all glowing brightly now.

"We are very close to the Millennium Eye."

"Someone actually found it?"

"Yes."  Joseph discontinued anymore questions by putting his hand up.  He pushed open the dinning room doors and walked inside to be met with his daughter hugging a man.  Joseph walked up to the two and gasped. 

"What's wrong darling?"

"Max?"

"Hey."

"That's Max?"  Tatanya ran up to her husband and looked at the man who was holding her daughter.  She immediately started to laugh, throwing her arms around his neck.

"We have missed you so much honey.  We thought that something had happened to you.  I'm so happy to see you.  See Joseph I told you he was alright.  I am always right."  Joseph just nodded and hugged Max also.

"Max you thought of Duel Monsters.  This game is so cool.  I missed you."  Mokuba walked up to Max and hugged him around the waist.  The boy was older, but he had not grown much.

"No I didn't think of it.  I found out about it in Egypt and decided to bring it back."

Joseph was to shocked to say anything, so it remained quiet for a moment.  Ryou interrupted the peace by running into Max forcefully.

"The Ring did it."  Ryou pointed to the Ring and a point of it pointed in Max's direction.  Joseph came out of his stupor and searched Max, reaching into Max's pocket Joseph pulled out a round gold circle, with the eye of Horus engraved in it.

"You my boy have found the Millennium Eye."

Me:  Another chapter is finished and I hope you guys enjoyed it.  I have a long author's note , but it is full of important information so please read it at the end of the little skit.  It will help you to understand the story and not get confused.

*The hikaris have exited the room, but Seto is still asleep inside.  I have secretly invited Serena for her stay with Seto.  Serena slips into the room undetected, for a few seconds that is.  A loud scream is heard.*

Seto:   *ran out the room and behind me*  Why is she back?

Me:  Because she said that she wanted a night with you.

Seto:  Can't you give her a blowup doll of me?

Me:  I could, but she wants you.

Seto:  She took more naked pictures of me.

Me:  Was it that much fun where you couldn't cover up after you finished?"

Seto:  Hey you try to do anything after you have had sex with three people.

Me:  o.o

Serena:  Come on Seto.  I won't do anything this time.  I just want to cuddle.

Seto:  Get a teddybear then.

Serena:  But I want you.  *is walking up to me trying to catch Seto*

Seto:  *Serena grabs his arm*  Please no let me go.  Help. 

Serena:  *is dragging Seto to the room naked*  Come on we can just cuddle.  Let's just go in the room and we can cuddle there.

Seto:  But I don't want to.

Serena:  *pulls Seto into the room and closes the door.  Dialogue heard through the door*  Don't make it so hard Seto, just lay on the bed.

Seto:  Please help me.  Hey don't put a hickey there.  *footsteps can be heard as Seto runs to the door and opens it.  He falls to the floor on his stomach.  His legs are in the room and his upper body is outside of the room*

Serena:  Stop trying to run Seto.  *pulls Seto back in the room*

Seto:  Help me somebody.  Ow ow, I'm getting carpet burn.

Serena:  Sorry, but you aren't coming willingly so I'll have to pull you.  *still pulling Seto*

Seto:  Okay okay I'll walk.  I do it willingly.

 Me:  *I close the door and let the two cuddle or in Seto's case cream for help*  Well hikaris say the usual for me.

Ryou:  Sweetcandie wants everyone who reads this to review.

Yugi:  Yeah, she wants the reviews whether they are positive or negative.

Malik:  But if they are negative give her some feedback so she can make it better next time around.  Alright Sweetcandie do your author's note now.

Me:  Thank you all.

A/N:  Okay everybody I don't want to confuse anyone so I'm explaining a few things.  First of all for those of you who have seen the Shaddi character think of Joseph this way.  He acts exactly like Shaddi. 

Also all of the group knows about Tatanya's and Joseph's powers, the only person who doesn't know is Max, because he never saw either of them do anything.  But since Tatanya interfered in their lives for a small period of time (she tried to make their lives better, for instance in my story she stopped Seto from getting in trouble when he killed his stepfather by using magic and she also used magic to calm the yamis of Ryou and Malik down.)  She has used magic in some type of way to influence their lives, which is why Joseph is hesitant to let Tatanya have an item. 

Also in my story the Millennium Eye will be retractable meaning that Max can remove it at will.  When he found the eye instead of someone giving it to him he found it and when he touched it, the Eye bound to him like it did in the show, only his real eye was not damaged.

Oh one more thing,  all the friends are twenty one, Mokuba is eleven, and Joseph and Tatanya are four years older, but they have not aged.   

If there are any question you can email me or if the question is short you can ask it in a review and I will respond in the following chapter.

Review please.
