Yugioh watched as Yuugi ran up to the old man that was being escorted by one of the guards, babbling in that strange language of his. The old man was doing likewise, tears streaming out of his face as he hugged Yuugi.

"It appears they know each other," Seth observed.

The one that had been struggling stopped, now glaring at Yugioh. He shouted something, attempting to point to the guards holding on to his arms. The pharaoh raised an eyebrow. "An what do you suppose he's saying?"

Seth shrugged. "You know more than I do."

The tallest white haired one growled. "Damn it, pharaoh! Don't play dumb and tell them to unhand me!"

Both the priest and the pharaoh's mouth went slack. "You speak Egyptian?" Seth asked.

"Damn it, Seto, you ass! Tell them to let me go!" He stopped, realizing what he just said. "Oh, right, past Kaiba. Don't know me."

"All right! That's it! What's with all of this Seto business?!" the priest demanded.

Yugioh chuckled.

"Pharaoh no baka, have them release me! You know who the hell I am!"

Yugioh raised an eyebrow. "I do?"

The white haired man let out a string of words in that odd language, struggling again.

Yugioh saw Yuugi turn around and look at the one struggling, explaining something to him rather quickly. The man's eyes grew wide. He looked over at Yugioh. "You don't remember? Anything?"

The pharaoh crossed his arms. "No."

Seth looked over at him. "Remember what?"

"Later," he replied, not wanting to go into detail at the moment. He looked over at the man still held captive. "So tell me, who are you?"

"If I tell you, will you let me be released?"

"Are you a friend of Yuugi's?"

The man snorted. "My light is, so indirectly, yes. But go and tell any one else that and I'll send your Kuriboh to the Shadow Realm for good."

Yugioh stopped short. "You have shadow powers? And a light?"

The man snarled. "If I could smack my forehead right now I would."

The pharaoh nodded to the guards, and they released him. The man growled, dusting off his sleeves. Come to think of it, the three new occupants of the hallway all had on strange clothing. Yugioh noticed that Yuugi was modeling the linen of the Egyptians.

"My name is Bakura," the man said, then pointed towards the other person that looked like his twin. "My hikari Ryou."

Seth looked at the pharaoh. "Hikari?"

"Yuugi told me that it means light," Yugioh replied.

Bakura pointed to the old man. "Yuugi's grandfather, Sugoroku."

Grandfather? Well, this certainly only solidified all of what Yuugi had said earlier. "What are you doing here in this time," Yugioh asked.

"Well, considering the fact that Yuugi just disappeared one night, it had his grandfather just a little worried. And, of course, being his friend my hikari would be worried, therefore meaning that I would have to fix it in order for Ryou to be happy. So there."

"Then why do you speak Egyptian as well," Seth inquired.

"Because I'm from Egypt, too." He gently pulled at the ring hanging from around his neck.

It was the millenium ring. Yugioh snarled. "That should be on my priest Mahaado's grave. That was his."

"It is there, for now. You have to remember that I'm not from this time, pharaoh. But it will get stolen in the future." I'm just not going to tell you that I'm the one that took it.

Meanwhile, Yuugi had been happily chatting away with his grandfather and Ryou.

"Gods, Yuugi, I've been so worried about you." Sugoroku squeezed just a little bit tighter on the hug.

"I'm okay, Ji-chan. Really. Things have been going well here."

"Are you going to be able to come back home, Yuugi? You and Yami?" Ryou asked.

"I-I'm not sure. If we leave now, there's no one to take over the throne. Gods know what could happen then." He broke away from the hug.

"Yuugi, I should tell you this. Bakura told me that Shadii would be coming back here. You know that he doesn't want you here," Ryou stated, hoping to warn him in enough time to prepare.

Yuugi's eyes grew wider. "Oh, kuso." He looked over at Bakura who was laughing with amusement, delighted with the fact that he was able to insult the pharaoh and get away with it.

"Bakura!" Yuugi said, getting his attention. "Can you tell Yami for me that Shadii is coming back? Please?"

Bakura growled, but one look at Ryou and he complied. Yuugi saw Yugioh listening intently, his eyes suddenly narrowing dangerously. Seth was still lost in the dark.

Yuugi looked back to his grandfather. "You can't stay long, can you?"

The old man shook his head. "No. Bakura said he can only keep the portal open for a little while. I just wanted to make sure you were safe, Yuugi. You had me really worried."

Yuugi smiled. "I'm okay now. So is Yami."

Sugoroku frowned. "I'm sorry he doesn't remember anything."

Yuugi shook his head. "We'll fix that. Don't worry. We did it once before. We can do it again."

Smiling, he gave his grandson one last hug before he had to go. Glancing up, he saw Yami starring at him intently. Walking up to the pharaoh, Sugoroku gave him a hug as well, grateful that his only grandson's other was also well and happy. Yugioh's eyes became quite wide, starring at the old man strangely as he began walking away.

"Ja Ne!" Yuugi called, whilst Bakura was explaining that they had to leave in Egyptian.

Yuugi returned to the pharaoh's side, wrapping his arms around Yugioh's waist.

Seth turned to his rulers. "Well, that was certainly a fast visit. Now do you mind telling me who in the hell they were? And what they hell is going on? And what the hell is with all of this Seto business?!"

Yugioh chuckled, holding Yuugi tightly to him. Now that he knew for sure what Yuugi was telling him was true, he realized that he had a lot of memories to recover, and with the Shadii character coming so soon, he didn't know how much time he would have.

"Well!?" Seth demanded. The pharaoh looked out at a window, seeing the sun begin to rise. "Well, since it's morning, what do you say I explain it over breakfast?"

Seth blinked, knowing that Yugioh never, ever ate his morning meal outside of his room, not wanting any contact with people so early. Maybe having Yuugi around wasn't such a bad thing after all.

"All right."

The pharaoh looked down at Yuugi. "Tabemono?" he questioned. Yuugi face lit up with delight. He nodded his head emphatically. "Hai."

*Yawns* Hmm, short but sweet. I'm warning you, don't expect much in way for the Shadii scene, but I'll do my best. I've sort of jumped ahead in my mind frame, all sorts of fluffy scenes and growing experiences on the way. *Falls asleep at computer*
