I forgot disclaimer before and I probably will again so this is for the whole story, but I am really sorry about that so…

*bows down and grovels at the feet of Kazuki Takahashi*

I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS TERRIBLE CRIME!!! I DO NOT OWN YUGIOH! IF I DID IT WOULD PROBABLY BE PLASTERED ALL OVER MY HOUSE AND I WOULD SAVE A LOT OF MONEY FROM BUYING TO MUCH YUGIOH STUFF!!

Chapter 3

Two heroes different

And yet the same,

The dusk and the darkness

Joined with the game.

One alone,

Lost in the night,

Waiting listening,

Ready to fight.

Heart hardened,

Frozen and cold,

Waiting, watching,

For a spirit of gold.

The other close by,

But in a different world,

Surrounded by love,

Stories being told.

Stories of princes,

Of dark and of light,

Together forming,

An unfathomed might.

The first's strength will be tested,

Sacrifice is his fate,

His heart will be softened,

Can he destroy hate?

The second's spirit is tried,

By the deaths of loved ones,

But he will continue,

Under the sun.

They meet in a time,

Peaceful it seems,

The second one drawn

By his own fated dreams.

A betrayal is planned,

From inside a plot,

By the king's most trusted,

His death is sought.

Sacrifice kidnapped,

For her life her love fears,

When found nothing sways him,

Not amethyst tears.

She alone knows the truth,

But can she persuade,

The hate to relinquish,

The hand to be stayed?

In words or in mind,

The trust is regained,

But the plot is in motion,

The kingdom must be saved.

Sacrifice, sacrifice

For those that she loves,

In the night sky,

She'll watch from above.

The innocent one,

Gives up his life,

To settle his other half's

Sorrow and strife.

Back comes the loved one,

But the little one's gone,

Was their life wasted?

In the end who has won?

-Prophets 2000 years ago

(Now is that amazing or what?? I wrote it in the car while my sister read it over my shoulder and laughed at me so you'll have to excuse parts that are a little off. -_- my sister is very annoying. Thinks Yugioh is stupid and yet comes to watch every time it's on…^-^ anyway, back to the story!)

Yami reread the pages again and again as he waited for Keturah to appear. This had been one of his lessons when he was small, which he had found very confusing at the time.

'But this is from 200 years ago!' his mind protested. 'It couldn't possibly have anything to do with you!'

'Still,' Yami thought, 'there are some startling coincidences…Two princes was what it seemed to be talking about. Well, I'm one prince apparently. At least the direction of my life seems to generally follow the description of the dark prince. But the prince of light?'

He puzzled over this for many long minutes before he read the first group of lines once more.

'Different yet the same….' The image of Yugi's face flashed before his eyes. 'Darkness joined with the game?'

Yugi signified "game" but did that mean that he was supposed to help Yami deliver the kingdom from some kind of chaos? There were many puzzles and hidden meanings buried within the words. Yami leaned back in the tall chair he was sitting in and closed his eyes.

'A betrayal planned…Sacrifice for those that she loves…' "Is this my future?" the pharaoh wondered aloud.

"Do you believe in it?" a voice returned.

Yami's eyes snapped open and he shot up straight in his seat. Keturah sat across from him at the desk, her head resting on her crossed arms, eyes laughing.

Yami relaxed when he realized who it was. He hated being taken by surprise, but she was always an exception.

"Do I believe?" he repeated.

She looked up at his face seriously. He stood up and crossed to the window, looking out to the busy marketplace across the vineyard.

"I don't want to," he said, turning to look at her. "Must one's paths be predetermined or can you change your destiny?"

She stood and crossed to him, he white dress swaying as she moved. Keturah stood in front of the man she loved, the one person in the world that mattered more to her than life its self, and placed one hand on each of his cheeks forcing him to look into her eyes. His eyes, cold and foreboding to most, showed her what he felt in his heart. There was love there, and hope, but also, most prominent was an irrepressible fear.

"Destiny may spin us in any which way," she told him. "Even if for us, the ends are not favorable, isn't it worth the ache and the pain if our children and our kingdom would be given a better life?"

"We may have no children if our fate is death," he told her grimly.

"Life's ends are set," she said smiling. "It does no good to try to change them.

With those words she pulled his head down and met his lips with her own. His hands slid to her waist and drew her against him. She tangled her hands in his dark hair, fingers tracing the edges of his ears. After a long moment, they drew back.

"Four more days[1] koi[2]," he breathed against her cheek and kissed each of her eyes.

Keturah smiled, relishing the strength of his hands and the warmth of his body against hers. She laid her head on his shoulder.

"Four more days," she murmured, closing her eyes.

The two stood together for a long while in each other's arms, outlined against the setting sun.
