An: Gee I seem to be a writing machine ever since I took the break from my
archive. Well Battles is coming along fine if you ask me. My characters are
coming along so well that I think I am going to write my first lemon piece.
It is important to the character development for Calia and Seth. I just
thought I would start warning you guys now so I can yell at stupid flamers
for not reading this little notes. I swear flamers just hit my nerves.
However it is more fun getting on theirs. ^_~.
Well here is the last jump in time. I tired for a long time to get the kids into 7th grade. But I could not develop their personalities with them at their young age. What I have for them is more suited for them being older. So they are now 16 and in the 10th grade. Trying to do a story where they start as babies and go to teens is extremely hard for me to do. So that is why I keep jumping thru gaps. But we are not getting to the really good stuff. Battle City will be starting around chapter 9 or 10.
Disclaimer: I am a poor stupid college student I only own Adam, Milia, Calia, Kayla, Jackson, and Seth

~ Kayla's Dream~
The air smelled of various wildflowers as the wind swept thru the field temping with stray flower petals making them dance with unseen playful figures. This field of wildflowers was heaven situated in between Nile with its majestically flowing waters that carried Egypt's wealth on it. The palace was made of high marble columns veined with gold; statues of the gods dotted the landscaping, and a domineering presence that spoke of the Pharaoh's power. The palace was a thing of beauty, but it could be considered hellish for the salves that worked under the cruel, at times sadistic, and cold Pharaoh. The field was considered the middle ground between the domineering palace and the majestic waters of the Nile.
Always a girl can be seen walking thru the field. Her cascade of blond hair, quite rare in Egypt, succumbed to the winds gentle taunting as it waved in the gentle breeze that blew strands from its mistress's face to reveal hard ruby eyes. The girl lifted her hand from her white slave dress that had already been stained for the day with her own blood. Unconcerned for the stains on her dress, the young girl brushed her hands softly across the tall wildflowers, which grew unheeded, showering a stoic beauty against the harsh Egyptian climate. Here, the girl could forget her status among society and her own troubles. Here, if just for a few brief moments she was free of the tyrant's rule and her master's whip. Still finding it ironic that the tyrant known as the pharaoh was also her master. But no it did not stop there... The pharaoh was also her father. The young women pondered what she had done to anger Ra in such a way he would allow that raping murderer to be her father. So immersed in her thoughts the young women did not notice the midnight blue robes that approached her.
The young man stopped a few feet away from her to admire her beauty. Inclining his head he spoke, "Calia my beloved their you are"
~ Dream Ends ~
Kayla shot up at the sound of something buzzing interrupting her dream. For the last few days it always got to the man and then she would awake to hear her alarm clock buzzing. "Who are those two and why do I keep seeing them?" Kayla though as she got out of bed to get ready for school. These dreams had started after she had found the diaper bag she had been found with. There were two gold gauntlets with a jewel inside the eye of Ra, those had captivated her, but what shocked Kayla the most was to see a Blue Eyes White Dragon card in her bag. She did not tell anyone she had found it and stuck it at the bottom of her sock drawer fearing what Adam's dad would do for the card. When she touched those gauntlets Kayla felt an overwhelming power and sense of anger. She put the bag and the gauntlets where she had found them but was now having strange dreams.
"Kayla hurry up! Breakfast is read and you are on the verge of being late little girl!" Yami yelled from the kitchen.
"I'm coming just hold your pants on." Kayla yelled as she grabbed her 100% brat necklace and her book bag rushing out of her bedroom to go grab some breakfast. She ran into the blue and green kitchen skidding to a stop. At the table was Yami having his morning cup of tea reading the newspaper while her dad was at the stove finishing up the scrambled eggs with cheese; biscuits, pancakes and sausage were already on the new oval table that they had bought yesterday on a whim. Kayla sat in the chair pulling a pile of pancakes onto her plate while forking some sausages with her other hand. With a mouth full of food she complimented her dad on the cooking.
"That is wonderful Kayla" Yami remarked without looking up from his paper. Kayla made a face before responding.
"So is listening to "Ahh Yugi harder HARDDDDDER YUGGGGGGGGGGGI" while I am trying to sleep." Yugi almost dropped the hot pan while Yami turned very red under his dark colored skin. Kayla just smiled smugly as she ate.
"Kayla that was not funny. You do not need to be repeating things like that." Yugi came over putting some eggs on her plate then some on his and Yami's.
"Well if you do would learn what quite means and not yell loud enough to wake the dead, then I would nothing to repeat. You guys can be entertaining at times. Maybe I should record it and give it to Jackson since I think he likes that. I know his dad does." Yugi blushes furiously at his daughter.
"Stop right there Kayla. What me and Yami do is no ones business, especially to use as entertainment for your friends."
"Then let me get some decent sleep at night. Simple as that." Grabbing her bag she finished her eggs gave bother her parents a kiss on the check and ran out of the house.
"Were did our little girl go?" Yugi pushed his eggs around.
"I think it is called Kaiba and Devlin syndrome. Those two are corrupting her and turning her into delinquents like they are. She is also around that baka tomb robber a lot."
"Yami stop, they're her friends. She was miserable when she had to leave them when she was younger." Yugi took their plates putting them in the sink.
"I know love, I just wonder about her sometimes. Hey we have an hour before you head to work and I open the game shop, so why don't me and you go wash up." Yami whispered suggestively into Yugi's neck making him blush.
"I still cannot believe they wanted me to be the head of the Egyptian portion of the Domino museum."
"Why not? You are a very good archeologist. We also found one of the biggest discoveries in the last thirty or so years."
"I guess your right." Yugi said a bit shyly leaning against Yami.
"Of course I am love. Now come I hear the shower calling." Yami swept Yugi up as a groom would his new bride and carried him to their shower.

"Urg I swear I am ready to kill my parents. They were at it again. Its no wonder I fall asleep in class." Sixteen-year-old Kayla vented joining her friends on the way to Domino High. All of her friends were sixteen now.
"At least you did not walk in or them with your father hand cuffed to the bed naked and Kura above him just as naked holding a whip. That would scar anyone for life." Milia rolled her eyes making a face.
"HAHA at least none have you have walking in on your dad jacking off while looking at a playboy." Jackson added his scared for life story as they crossed the law of the three story school that was red and green. The worst colors ever. The school had a covered with a green stone roof supported by red stone columns. The walk way was red with rocks embedded into it finished off with a glossy finish. Each floor was designated to a grade. The tenth graders got the first floor, the second was for the eleventh graders, and the third floor was for the twelfth graders. In a separate building connected to the main building were the gym and the cafeteria. An open area for eating out side when the weather permitted was next to the separate building.
"Am I the only one who has a normal parent?" Adam asked as they entered the school.
"I would not hold your breath Adam. Your dad is really whacked."
"True true. What did we do to deserve this?" they all sat down at their seats.
"Only Ra knows Milia. Is anyone going to the Halloween dance tonight?" Kayla asked as she sat in her chair.
"Dad is finishing my change of heart costume." Jackson shook his head.
"Your dad is strange and mine is even more so. But old man has me working in the store tonight. He said I should have told him sooner about the dance."
"When did you tell him Jack?" Adam inquired knowing it has been last minute as it always was with Jackson.
"Yesterday." Kayla put her face in her hands as Milia smacked him upside the head calling him a baka.
"Oh well three out of four is not bad. By the way Adam how did you get out of punishment for skipping yesterday?" Kayla asked looking to see how much longer till the start of class.
"Business trip to America for a few days. Which means it is no one but me and Uncle Mokuba. But he is cool. So maybe after the dance."
"Sleep over time! Yes I will just have to tell dad and Yami. I still can't believe how cool they are with out little sleepover's and your dad would blow his top if he ever knew."
"Well Kay look at your parents, I mean they are as gay as mine. So they understand better, plus it is not like you two do anything besides cuddle." Adam raised his eyebrow at that.
"Excuse me?" Milia pointed to Jackson. "Blame him Adam, he was the one who insisted and sitting outside your window one night during one of these sleepover's. Kayla turned a bright red.
"As soon as school is out Jackson prepare to run. Because I am going to kick your ass so hard you will still feel it the day we graduate." Adam threatened getting closer to his best friend only making Milia and now Kayla laugh hard.
"Hey Adam it was all in fun man there is no need to get so uptight about it! I will give you the video tape if you like!" Jackson could have sworn he saw steam coming out of Adam's ears.
"Video tape?!" Adam grabbed Jackson getting ready to beat him here when the bell rang and the teacher came in. Kayla also grabbed his hand. Getting closer she whispered, "What is wrong with you? I think it was funny. We have nothing to hide. Why are you so protective all the sudden?"
"Miss. Motou anything you would like to share with the class?" Mrs. Biotch asked coldly from behind her mahogany desk.
"No ma'am I do believe you are a bit old to understand us disrespectful youth and what we have to say." Kayla said with a deadly cold look on her face that could have only have been learned from Yami.
"One more comment out of you like that Miss Motou and you can see yourself down to the headmaster's office." Kayla's teacher said with rage written clearly in her pale green eyes.
"Yes Mrs. Biotch." Kayla pretended to hang her head in shame trying to hide the smirk on her face. Milia giggled while the guys just had smug smiles on their faces. The teacher glared and turned her attention to the black board. "Just another boring day" Kayla thought as she started to jot down notes for the class.

Lunch Time
"By Ra I hate that women. I swear she has it out for me." Kayla flopped down un-ceremonially onto the browning grass with her lunch.
"Yes well, you bait Mrs. Biotch as much as she does you. So you have nothing but your own self to blame Kayla." Adam snacked some of her grapes only to slam them into Jackson's face.
"Hey those were mine you BAKA!" Kayla swung her empty lunch box hitting Adam in the head; the force of the blow knocked him over.
"You tell him Kay! Serves you right man. Wasting good grapes should be a crime." Jackson antagonized leaning lazily against the base of one of the schools many oak trees.
"Shut up Jackson before I let him beat you into the ground. You should have never taped it or been their. Also I want that tape, knowing you, you would sell it to some stupid student or use it as blackmail.
"Who says he has not done that already?" Milia put in her two sense as she ate her peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
"He is not squiring like a worm Milia. You would be turning really white if he had done that." Adam explained from the ground where he was still laying after taking that shot from. *Firey little thing isn't she?* A voice inside Adam's head observed. "There is that damn voice again! Urg I must be going insane." Adam thought to himself as he heard a laugh in his head.
"Yoouu whoo Adam are you in their?" Milia waved her hand in front of his face trying to get his attention.
"Yes I am here. I just think I am going insane. I keep hearing this voice in my head. I keep having also been having strange dreams." Adam sat up and crossed his legs Indian style.
"What kind of dreams?" Kayla perked up.
"Just some about ancient Egypt, a man in midnight blue robes and a blond girl with no face." Kayla stared in shock.
"Those are like what I am having. Do you know why you are having yours Adam?" Adam shook his head no. "Pity I wished I knew why we were having the same dreams." Kayla thought to herself.
"Fate has a strange way of showing us our destinies." Milia quoted what her father always told her.
"I guess you are right. I think we should go before the teachers find another excuse to make our lives hell." Adam pushed off the ground grabbing his bag. Again for the second time in ten minutes Adam heard that deep chuckle of that of a man.
~:::~
Meanwhile.
"Yes young one fate does have a strange way of showing us our destinies." A man in a midnight blue skirt, sandals and cape trimmed with gold laughed as he looked thru the eyes of his young host from his soul room. This soul room that this man was in, was midnight blue trimmed with gold resided in was decorated as an ancient Egyptian room. Much like the priests of high rank would have resided in. The walls and floor where made of a white marble veined with gold.
In the middle of the room stood a raised platform that held a king size bed that was decorated with midnight blue satin sheets, midnight blue and gold silk pillows, a midnight blue and gold weaved linen blanket that had been made by the soul room owner's wife, and finishing the bed off was gold silk drapes that fell from the ceiling of the soul room to enclose the whole bed. At the foot of the bed laid a rich cherry wood bedside seat that had a cousin of Midnight blue with gold accents. On the bedside bench laid a white dress with white sandals and a golden colored belt that had a pocket attached to it. In front of the bed against the wall laid a golden vanity laden with a scented oil bottle, a comb, a sweet scented lotion, and a try of colors for a women's face. To the left of the bed was the bathing room. Inside the bathing room was a pool that had no rim and was flush with the floor. The water was scented with wild flowers. Next to the tub was a few bottles of scented oils and conditioners. In the corner of the marbled room with the veins of gold flowing thru it laid the chamber pot with two candles lit on each side of the chamber pot. Back in the soul room the man looked at the desk that was behind the bed on the north wall. Above it almost eye level with the man when he was sitting was a painting of a women with long cascading blond hair, hard crimson eyes surrounded by a delicate face. Her tanned skin made her white dress with its lace up side stand out even more than it already did. In the painting she was smiling.
"Only something you did around me my beloved wife." Seth, the man in the midnight blue outfit though as he looked at the painting of his lovely wife. His soul roomed looked as it did when he and his wife Calia were alive. Before she had been taken so curly away from him. Seth watched the kids thru his Hikari's mind still wandering why it was this boy that the armbands had chosen. Seth still remembered the day light flooded his soul room and his soul. It had been three thousand years since he had taken his own life in grief and in the hopes he would meet his soul mate once again.
~ Flash Back ~
"Oh I am good. I got out undetected once again" Adam muttered to himself as he strode down the road with his school getting smaller and smaller. "Hmm where do I go today" Adam thought to himself as he walked in downtown Domino. Adam had long stated that he did not like school and would skip whenever he could. It was amazing he had not flunked yet. Passing a row of stores he suddenly felt pulled to one. Looking at the old antique store Adam thought what the heck and walked in.
"How my I help you young Kaiba?" An elderly woman looked up from the book she had been reading in a old chair that sat in the corner next to the shops fireplace. She was wearing a brown dress with lace at the color that was brushed by her graying hair.
"How did you kn.." Adam was cut off. "Why Mr. Kaiba you are all over the TV with your father and just as well known as he is. Let's just hope you are not as arrogant as he is." The woman gave Adam a small smile.
"Don't worry I wont be like him. I think I failed his how to be an ass class somewhere." The older woman laughed at the young man.
"So Mr. Kaiba what brings you to my humble little store?" Adam titled his head around to look at the shelves with all the little knickknacks when he spotted something shiny out of the corner of his eye. Turning around Adam saw what had caught his eye. Walking over to examine the bracelets the older woman merely watched. When Adam picked them up her felt a jolt of energy flow thru his body.
"Those arm bands came from Egypt. My husband had found them on a dig near Thebes. From what I can tell that is real gold and real rubies in there. It is strange anyone who has touched those besides my husband and me have gone into shock. Yet you young man are still standing."
"I felt an energy flow thru me like an electrical shock?" Adam muttered a little out of breath from the sensation.
"Well my husband swears those bands are magical. He said that they belonged to someone and they are seemingly searching for them. Like fate determines your destiny." The woman smiled again.
"Are these for sale?" Adam could not pin point why he wanted. He just felt he had to have them, they contained his other half.
"For you young Kaiba I will."
"How much?" Adam wondered how badly his father would kill him for this.
"Twenty dollars. You can not put a price on fate nor destiny young Kaiba." She added when she saw his face.
"Very well. Here you go." Adam handed her the amount she asked but tucked an extra forty in. The older women caught it. She bowed her head in appreciation as Adam walked out of the store. Stopping out side Adam took off his school jacket and slipped one armband on each arm. Suddenly as soon as the second band when on Adam felt this over whelming presence settle into his mind. It was harsh and forbidding, and then suddenly it disappeared all together. Adam never knew he now had a three thousand year old priest living inside of him.
~ End Flash Back ~
"I can fee her energy near. I hope I find her soon. I am not sure how I can go on if she is not with me. I wish this boy had never released my soul from its eternal darkness." Seth thought as he laid on his bed to rest, dreaming of his beloved Calia.

"Yami, Daddy are you home?" Kayla called out as she came thru the door. Nothing. "That is odd." Kayla thought as she walked into the kitchen. She say a note on the refrigerator.
Kayla,
We are very sorry to do this to you, but I was wanted in Egypt at a dig. You know how good Yami is at reading that old writing. We are going to be gone two to three weeks. We have already cleared it with Seto; you are to stay at his place while we are gone. Joey is going to run the Game Shop for us while we are gone. You are expected to help him. We love you and have fun at your dance.
Love Daddy.
"Well anit this just great. They get to go have fun and leave me stuck here. Oh well I might as well go and get ready." Kayla sighed as she went into her room. She grabbed a duffle bag and started shoving various items in there that she would need. She did not put much cause she knew she could always come back for more. She had just finished when her phone started ringing. She hit the speaker phone as she started pulling out the out sift she had made.
"Kayla." She said to the phone as she started to undress.
"Did you hear?" Adam's voice filled the room.
"No I read. Are you going to come pick me up for the dance?" She asked as she slipped her crop top on. "Ok so it is not authentic Egyptian garb, but I would not wear that dress. Yuck" Kayla thought as she put her boots on.
"Of course. We are going to be there in twenty minutes."
"Great I will be ready by then. Talk to you then." Kayla turned off the phone. "Now what am I missing here." Kayla had put on a heavy black eye liner to make her eyes pop out. She barrowed one of Yami's necklaces that looked like a tall chocker. Around her waste was her gold chain. She also had her golden hoops in her top holes, and her chain earrings in the two sets of holes she had in her ears. Thinking for a moment she remembered those gauntlets. Running to the hall closet she pulled out the bag and looked inside. There they were. Kayla also remembered what happened last time. But staring at them they looked so perfect. Pulling them out of the bag she ignored the power surge she felt and slipped them on. As soon as they clamped on Kayla felt a power strong enough to make her pass out. It was searching her. As quickly as the pain came it went. So did the presence she had felt. Bracing her self against the wall she walked into her room. She heard a knock at the door. Shaking her head a bit she picked up her bag and ran to the door. Making sure to grab the cell phone and her eyes she left the game shop and hopped into the limo that brought Adam.
"Wow, you look great Kay." Adam said eyeing her. She had taken her curly hair and did a slight cornrow style with it. So all the curls framed her face instead of being in her eyes. While Adam looked at Kayla someone was waking up.
~ Calia's Soul Room ~
"What the hell was that" Calia cursed as she picked her self off the floor trying to shield her eyes from the light that shined in her soul room. She had been sleeping in the dark like she had been ever since those traitorous High Counselors stole her life and her husband from her the day they locked her in her father's mother's prized gauntlets. Trying to gather her thoughts she concentrated to find the presence of another. It was a girl and she was talking to someone who looked just like Seth minus the long hair. They were heading into a dark room. All the sudden a loud head banging music filled Calia's soul room and bounced off the marble walls.
"WHAT THE HELL!?" Calia screamed only to be heard by no one as the children danced to the beat of Union Underground.
Well here is the last jump in time. I tired for a long time to get the kids into 7th grade. But I could not develop their personalities with them at their young age. What I have for them is more suited for them being older. So they are now 16 and in the 10th grade. Trying to do a story where they start as babies and go to teens is extremely hard for me to do. So that is why I keep jumping thru gaps. But we are not getting to the really good stuff. Battle City will be starting around chapter 9 or 10.

Kayla shot up at the sound of something buzzing interrupting her dream. For the last few days it always got to the man and then she would awake to hear her alarm clock buzzing.

"Well Kay look at your parents, I mean they are as gay as mine. So they understand better, plus it is not like you two do anything besides cuddle." Adam raised his eyebrow at that.
"Excuse me?" Milia pointed to Jackson. "Blame him Adam, he was the one who insisted and sitting outside your window one night during one of these sleepover's. Kayla turned a bright red.
"As soon as school is out Jackson prepare to run. Because I am going to kick your ass so hard you will still feel it the day we graduate." Adam threatened getting closer to his best friend only making Milia and now Kayla laugh hard.
"Hey Adam it was all in fun man there is no need to get so uptight about it! I will give you the video tape if you like!" Jackson could have sworn he saw steam coming out of Adam's ears.
"Video tape?!" Adam grabbed Jackson getting ready to beat him here when the bell rang and the teacher came in. Kayla also grabbed his hand. Getting closer she whispered, "What is wrong with you? I think it was funny. We have nothing to hide. Why are you so protective all the sudden?"
"Miss. Motou anything you would like to share with the class?" Mrs. Biotch asked coldly from behind her mahogany desk.
"No ma'am I do believe you are a bit old to understand us disrespectful youth and what we have to say." Kayla said with a deadly cold look on her face that could have only have been learned from Yami.
"One more comment out of you like that Miss Motou and you can see yourself down to the headmaster's office." Kayla's teacher said with rage written clearly in her pale green eyes.
"Yes Mrs. Biotch." Kayla pretended to hang her head in shame trying to hide the smirk on her face. Milia giggled while the guys just had smug smiles on their faces. The teacher glared and turned her attention to the black board. "Just another boring day" Kayla thought as she started to jot down notes for the class.

Lunch Time
"By Ra I hate that women. I swear she has it out for me." Kayla flopped down un-ceremonially onto the browning grass with her lunch.
"Yes well, you bait Mrs. Biotch as much as she does you. So you have nothing but your own self to blame Kayla." Adam snacked some of her grapes only to slam them into Jackson's face.
"Hey those were mine you BAKA!" Kayla swung her empty lunch box hitting Adam in the head; the force of the blow knocked him over.
"You tell him Kay! Serves you right man. Wasting good grapes should be a crime." Jackson antagonized leaning lazily against the base of one of the schools many oak trees.
"Shut up Jackson before I let him beat you into the ground. You should have never taped it or been their. Also I want that tape, knowing you, you would sell it to some stupid student or use it as blackmail.
"Who says he has not done that already?" Milia put in her two sense as she ate her peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
"He is not squiring like a worm Milia. You would be turning really white if he had done that." Adam explained from the ground where he was still laying after taking that shot from. *Firey little thing isn't she?* A voice inside Adam's head observed. "There is that damn voice again! Urg I must be going insane." Adam thought to himself as he heard a laugh in his head.
"Yoouu whoo Adam are you in their?" Milia waved her hand in front of his face trying to get his attention.
"Yes I am here. I just think I am going insane. I keep hearing this voice in my head. I keep having also been having strange dreams." Adam sat up and crossed his legs Indian style.
"What kind of dreams?" Kayla perked up.
"Just some about ancient Egypt, a man in midnight blue robes and a blond girl with no face." Kayla stared in shock.
"Those are like what I am having. Do you know why you are having yours Adam?" Adam shook his head no. "Pity I wished I knew why we were having the same dreams." Kayla thought to herself.
"Fate has a strange way of showing us our destinies." Milia quoted what her father always told her.
"I guess you are right. I think we should go before the teachers find another excuse to make our lives hell." Adam pushed off the ground grabbing his bag. Again for the second time in ten minutes Adam heard that deep chuckle of that of a man.
~:::~
Meanwhile.
"Yes young one fate does have a strange way of showing us our destinies." A man in a midnight blue skirt, sandals and cape trimmed with gold laughed as he looked thru the eyes of his young host from his soul room. This soul room that this man was in, was midnight blue trimmed with gold resided in was decorated as an ancient Egyptian room. Much like the priests of high rank would have resided in. The walls and floor where made of a white marble veined with gold.
In the middle of the room stood a raised platform that held a king size bed that was decorated with midnight blue satin sheets, midnight blue and gold silk pillows, a midnight blue and gold weaved linen blanket that had been made by the soul room owner's wife, and finishing the bed off was gold silk drapes that fell from the ceiling of the soul room to enclose the whole bed. At the foot of the bed laid a rich cherry wood bedside seat that had a cousin of Midnight blue with gold accents. On the bedside bench laid a white dress with white sandals and a golden colored belt that had a pocket attached to it. In front of the bed against the wall laid a golden vanity laden with a scented oil bottle, a comb, a sweet scented lotion, and a try of colors for a women's face. To the left of the bed was the bathing room. Inside the bathing room was a pool that had no rim and was flush with the floor. The water was scented with wild flowers. Next to the tub was a few bottles of scented oils and conditioners. In the corner of the marbled room with the veins of gold flowing thru it laid the chamber pot with two candles lit on each side of the chamber pot. Back in the soul room the man looked at the desk that was behind the bed on the north wall. Above it almost eye level with the man when he was sitting was a painting of a women with long cascading blond hair, hard crimson eyes surrounded by a delicate face. Her tanned skin made her white dress with its lace up side stand out even more than it already did. In the painting she was smiling.
"Only something you did around me my beloved wife." Seth, the man in the midnight blue outfit though as he looked at the painting of his lovely wife. His soul roomed looked as it did when he and his wife Calia were alive. Before she had been taken so curly away from him. Seth watched the kids thru his Hikari's mind still wandering why it was this boy that the armbands had chosen. Seth still remembered the day light flooded his soul room and his soul. It had been three thousand years since he had taken his own life in grief and in the hopes he would meet his soul mate once again.
~ Flash Back ~
"Oh I am good. I got out undetected once again" Adam muttered to himself as he strode down the road with his school getting smaller and smaller. "Hmm where do I go today" Adam thought to himself as he walked in downtown Domino. Adam had long stated that he did not like school and would skip whenever he could. It was amazing he had not flunked yet. Passing a row of stores he suddenly felt pulled to one. Looking at the old antique store Adam thought what the heck and walked in.
"How my I help you young Kaiba?" An elderly woman looked up from the book she had been reading in a old chair that sat in the corner next to the shops fireplace. She was wearing a brown dress with lace at the color that was brushed by her graying hair.
"How did you kn.." Adam was cut off. "Why Mr. Kaiba you are all over the TV with your father and just as well known as he is. Let's just hope you are not as arrogant as he is." The woman gave Adam a small smile.
"Don't worry I wont be like him. I think I failed his how to be an ass class somewhere." The older woman laughed at the young man.
"So Mr. Kaiba what brings you to my humble little store?" Adam titled his head around to look at the shelves with all the little knickknacks when he spotted something shiny out of the corner of his eye. Turning around Adam saw what had caught his eye. Walking over to examine the bracelets the older woman merely watched. When Adam picked them up her felt a jolt of energy flow thru his body.
"Those arm bands came from Egypt. My husband had found them on a dig near Thebes. From what I can tell that is real gold and real rubies in there. It is strange anyone who has touched those besides my husband and me have gone into shock. Yet you young man are still standing."
"I felt an energy flow thru me like an electrical shock?" Adam muttered a little out of breath from the sensation.
"Well my husband swears those bands are magical. He said that they belonged to someone and they are seemingly searching for them. Like fate determines your destiny." The woman smiled again.
"Are these for sale?" Adam could not pin point why he wanted. He just felt he had to have them, they contained his other half.
"For you young Kaiba I will."
"How much?" Adam wondered how badly his father would kill him for this.
"Twenty dollars. You can not put a price on fate nor destiny young Kaiba." She added when she saw his face.
"Very well. Here you go." Adam handed her the amount she asked but tucked an extra forty in. The older women caught it. She bowed her head in appreciation as Adam walked out of the store. Stopping out side Adam took off his school jacket and slipped one armband on each arm. Suddenly as soon as the second band when on Adam felt this over whelming presence settle into his mind. It was harsh and forbidding, and then suddenly it disappeared all together. Adam never knew he now had a three thousand year old priest living inside of him.
~ End Flash Back ~
"I can fee her energy near. I hope I find her soon. I am not sure how I can go on if she is not with me. I wish this boy had never released my soul from its eternal darkness." Seth thought as he laid on his bed to rest, dreaming of his beloved Calia.

"Yami, Daddy are you home?" Kayla called out as she came thru the door. Nothing. "That is odd." Kayla thought as she walked into the kitchen. She say a note on the refrigerator.
Kayla,
We are very sorry to do this to you, but I was wanted in Egypt at a dig. You know how good Yami is at reading that old writing. We are going to be gone two to three weeks. We have already cleared it with Seto; you are to stay at his place while we are gone. Joey is going to run the Game Shop for us while we are gone. You are expected to help him. We love you and have fun at your dance.
Love Daddy.
"Well anit this just great. They get to go have fun and leave me stuck here. Oh well I might as well go and get ready." Kayla sighed as she went into her room. She grabbed a duffle bag and started shoving various items in there that she would need. She did not put much cause she knew she could always come back for more. She had just finished when her phone started ringing. She hit the speaker phone as she started pulling out the out sift she had made.
"Kayla." She said to the phone as she started to undress.
"Did you hear?" Adam's voice filled the room.
"No I read. Are you going to come pick me up for the dance?" She asked as she slipped her crop top on. "Ok so it is not authentic Egyptian garb, but I would not wear that dress. Yuck" Kayla thought as she put her boots on.
"Of course. We are going to be there in twenty minutes."
"Great I will be ready by then. Talk to you then." Kayla turned off the phone. "Now what am I missing here." Kayla had put on a heavy black eye liner to make her eyes pop out. She barrowed one of Yami's necklaces that looked like a tall chocker. Around her waste was her gold chain. She also had her golden hoops in her top holes, and her chain earrings in the two sets of holes she had in her ears. Thinking for a moment she remembered those gauntlets. Running to the hall closet she pulled out the bag and looked inside. There they were. Kayla also remembered what happened last time. But staring at them they looked so perfect. Pulling them out of the bag she ignored the power surge she felt and slipped them on. As soon as they clamped on Kayla felt a power strong enough to make her pass out. It was searching her. As quickly as the pain came it went. So did the presence she had felt. Bracing her self against the wall she walked into her room. She heard a knock at the door. Shaking her head a bit she picked up her bag and ran to the door. Making sure to grab the cell phone and her eyes she left the game shop and hopped into the limo that brought Adam.
"Wow, you look great Kay." Adam said eyeing her. She had taken her curly hair and did a slight cornrow style with it. So all the curls framed her face instead of being in her eyes. While Adam looked at Kayla someone was waking up.
~ Calia's Soul Room ~
"What the hell was that" Calia cursed as she picked her self off the floor trying to shield her eyes from the light that shined in her soul room. She had been sleeping in the dark like she had been ever since those traitorous High Counselors stole her life and her husband from her the day they locked her in her father's mother's prized gauntlets. Trying to gather her thoughts she concentrated to find the presence of another. It was a girl and she was talking to someone who looked just like Seth minus the long hair. They were heading into a dark room. All the sudden a loud head banging music filled Calia's soul room and bounced off the marble walls.
"WHAT THE HELL!?" Calia screamed only to be heard by no one as the children danced to the beat of Union Underground.
