Yu-Gi-Oh Chapter 7

Mai after noticing she was in ancient Egypt got to her feet, looking around for any one of her friends that had come through the black hole with her. Hearing someone cough she ran as fast as she could through the sand to find Yugi managing to sit up and feeling for his puzzle to find it missing. "Oh no, Marik and Reina must have gotten my puzzle." Mai nodded her head as she helped Yugi to his feet.

The two caught sight of Seto standing up and dusting the sand off, "So Yugi how does it feel to know that we're in a world that we know nothing about?" He shrugged his shoulders not knowing what he felt at the moment. It was something Kaiba didn't do often, but help Isihzu to her feet.

Nick had already been on his feet a minute after Kaiba had stood up. Destiny and Kraig opened their eyes to find themselves in ackward positions and both blushing the other seeing it clearly. "Sorry..." Kraig said as he stood up offering his hand which she took and was pulled to her feet. Joey and Serenity walked up to Yugi and Mai wondering what had happened.

In the next few minutes they were all together and accounted for. "Where'd we end up Yug?" Joey asked still holding hands with his sister so she wouldn't feel lost. The blonde boy just shook his head a little upset he had lost his puzzle. "Don't worry Yugi, your puzzle is safe." Nick said from behind the group.

"and how would you know this Nick?" Seto growled since they never did really get along for the most part. "We're back in Ancient Eygpt and at the time, Yami held the puzzle. So even if Marik wanted it, he would have to take it from Yami." Yugi sighed knowing that for the time being the puzzle was safe and still gave them time to find the pharaoh.

"Joey what happened?" Serenity asked from beside her older brother, and being the youngest of the group she would probably take it the worse, though once she found out what happened she took it well.

Yugi lifted his arm up to where the duel disk on his arm was in front of him allowing him to hit the switch to release it from his arm. "I don't think these are going to do us any good here." Kaiba had to agree as he took his disk off followed by the rest of the other duelist. Throwing them into the air Destiny broke the six disk into nothing with a single attack. "Thanks Destiny."

She nodded and smiled at Kraig since he had thanked her. In under the day that she had known him she was feeling strange when ever she was around him. She was feeling something in her heart about him. It wasn't the normal feelings a friend would have for a friend though, she felt her herat beating harder every time he smiled at her. Though the feelings were crazy and new, she didn't care she actually liked the feelings she felt for him.

Seto looked over at Destiny, a real person who still treated her as a monster because she came from a card. "I guess we're stuck here until we find that bastard, our only real problem is we have no place to stay." Everyone had to agree with Kaiba for once. Heading for a near by oasis that wasn't so far off the cool water felt good to all of them.

Darkness started to cover the land leaving them all in the dark until Joey finally got a fire started after very many tries. Though through his mistakes he provided some comic relief to the weary group, including Serenity since her banages had been able to be removed. Nick looked around the small haven to see Kraig against one of the many trees that were actually around.

"This is often I say this, but....thank you for saving Isihzu's life today." Kraig nodded his head and looked away trying not to make eye contact with the man since he had joined with Seto when they were in the second helicopter. "I'm sorry...for the lost of that girl also...I shouldn't have said what I did....you just seemed to be weak." Kraig looked at Nick for a moment and shook it off.

"Doesn't matter now the damage is done." extending his hand Nick took it as they shook cheering up the man's sister having her smile. Siting next to her around the fire she laughed a little getting his attention. "It wasn't that hard now was it?" he shook his head and hugged his sister. Out of their family she was the only one he could trust and love like family.

Yugi was sitting alone in front of the fire thinking what would happen if Marik did get control over the puzzle.

Mai and Destiny were sitting in the sand, the oldest of the two females noticing the way Destiny was looking at the brown haired male on the other side of their camp. She could see it in the young girls eyes, "You have feelings for him don't you?" The long blonde haired monster, who they aged around seventeen, turned around to face Mai in a little awe, but nodded nonetheless. "How'd you figure it out?" she asked.

"I could see it in your eyes every time you look at him." she was only a little surprised that the woman had found out about her feelings for the human teenager. "Don't worry hunny, he may be my little brother, but I'm not going to stop him from being some one that loves him." Destiny was taken by surprised at the fact that Mai was Kraig's older sister. They didn't look like another, though their face did look a little alike.

"I can't help but feel that what I feel for him is wrong." Mai sat up and rubbed the younger females shoulder. She knew of course that Destiny was really the Dark Magician Girl from what she had been told, but it wasn't a reason to keep love apart. From what Mai could see Destiny was as human as they come. "Just because you came out of a card means nothing. If you love him don't let anyone stop you from feeling that way." the female teenager hugged the woman who hadn't quite expected it.

Seeing the young blonde turn over for some shut eye she made her way over to her little brother who was wondering what she wanted. "I think you have caught the heart of a pretty young lady." Kraig looked at his sister with a little confusion in his eyes causing her to laugh. "Who?"

She laughed a little more before feeling her hands on his face, "Kraig open your eyes," Mai turned his head to face Destiny who was breathing slowly in her sleep. His eyes made their way back to his sisters "yes Kraig, she loves you." He dropped against the tree a little stunned by the news.

Since he had met the young blonde hair female he had something strange inside of him bubbling telling him something he just never understood it. Mai knowing her job was finished made her way to sit next to Yugi. "We're all about to witness something new and surprising." he looked at the woman a little taken back by her statement since he didn't know what she meant, but turned his attention to Kraig who was making his way over to a sleeping Destiny.

"What's about to happen Mai?" Yugi asked only for her to refuse to tell him.

Shaking her slightly Dark Magician Girl slowly sat up a little turning her head in Kraigs direction which had her sit up completely. "Kraig, what's up?" he sat next to her trying to find something to say. His mind was blanking out and it was getting harder to breath at the fact that knowing she had feelings for him.

"This...is pretty hard to do...but Destiny I have strong feelings for you." he said in a whisper though she heard him, and was really taken back by his words. "Are...you......serious?" he nodded his head as he leaned in and kissed her on the lips softly as she returned the kiss.

Yugi looked over at Mai and smiled, "So you knew it was going to happen didn't you?" she nodded while Joey and Nick whistled. Isihzu clapped her hands glad for the two. She knew one was a monster and one was human, but love wouldn't stop them from being together, if only the one guy she had feelings for would admit them.

Kaiba from where he stood against a tree growled, "For god's sake Kraig, she's a monster nothing more and nothing less and will never be human." Destiny was now the one growling at what she had heard, but unlike her Kraig was on his feet and slamming Kaiba's back against a tree. Of course Seto was almost seven inches taller he was taken by surprise, complete surprise.

None of them had expected the sixteen year old to charge Kaiba and throw him against a tree. "Seto Kaiba, I don't give a damn about what you think. First you talk bad about Reina which you were right about that, but just because your heart isn't allowing you to love because of your tough guy act doesn't mean you need to comment on the love others have!" his tone of voice and the fact that he was yelling at a guy that had no respect for him is what sent all the others into awe.

Backing down a little he sat back down next to Destiny leaving Kaiba to dust him self off, as he turned away from the group. Nick laughed a little since Kraig had done what other sixteen year old teens would never think about doing, but what was funny is Kaiba didn't push him off nor throw a punch so there must of been truth in the words that were spoken.

'Is what he said true? Is it becuase of the way I act that my heart isn't allowed to love?' Seto thought to him self before turning back to look around the site to see every one laughing lightly, before turning to get some shut eye.

Growling again as he watched the girl known as Destiny and Kraig holding hands, laying next to one another. 'Why am I letting the kid get to me, he's been one to die because of his heart. Then again, Yugi has always trusted in his heart in every duel that he and I had, each time he proved that there was a heart to the cards and that the monsters were connected to their user.'

He couldn't help but think about what Kraig had said to him that night. 'They always have friends who can they can trust, friends to lean on for strength....maybe that's my problem....' Seto Kaiba for the first time realized what he was missing, and all becuase of his act of being a tough guy. In the last day he had experienced fear beyond imagination, looking back he could see Yugi and friends being there for each other.

He had even helped save Isihzu from Ra's attack, holding out his Blue-Eyes and staring at it for a minute he for the first time actually smiled instead of grinning or smirking. "I have something to believe in now." the Blue-Eyes White Dragon card he held in his right hand started to faintly glow for a moment before it's owner put it back in to the deck.

Yugi smiled, after hearing Kaiba say his last few words. "Things may get better after all" he thought to himself.

Marik and Reina sat around in an abandonded barn shack, "Marik, what are we doing in ancient Egypt?" the brown haired beauty asked, seeing him shake his head confusing her since she thought he had brought every one here for a purpose until she heard him talk, only it wasn't Marik who was speaking.

"My dear Reina, Marik wasn't the one that brought you and the others here. It was I who did that deed. In this time, little Yugi wasn't holding the Milleinum Puzzle. The pharaoh him self held it."

Now knowing why this voice had brought them all to Ancient Egypt Reina would only have to wait for instructions on their first plan of action. The voice controlling Marik looked at the god card that his puppet had been using for two days.
