Anna smiled as she began to undress, her thoughts on how Seto had looked when his little brother had caught him doing something 'inappropriate' with the nanny. She had to stop her giggles as she heard him making up some silly excuse along the lines of her fainting and him catching her and getting off balance so that they both had fallen on the bed. She could see that Mokuba wasn't buying the quickly thought up explanation but that he didn't really seem to mind what he caught his nanny and big brother in the middle of doing adult activites. She knew Mokuba loved his big brother dearly and she also knew that he had began looking at her as the big sister and mother figure he had never had. It had warmed her heart the first time he had asked to call her 'Sis' and when she had accepted the nickname she could also see how happy it had made him to take that next step in making her more into that big sister he desperatly needed. Anna knew that if Mokuba suspected or even knew of her and Seto's increasing closness to each other he would be estatic over the information for if she and Seto became involved and eventually married Mokuba would then really have her as a big sister. She couldn't help giggle agian as she remembered Seto's embarrassed face as he had quickly scooted his brother out of her room and into his own. She had a feeling Seto didn't know how happy Mokuba would have been had they gotten further in their explorations of each other. Anna's last thought as she slipped in between the silk sheets of her queen sized bed was of how she felt when Seto had put his arms around her, how his strength and warmth had made her feel so safe and content.
Ancient Eygpt 2000 years ago:
Annaisen walked as quickly as she could down the stone halls of her home, the palace of her brother and the Pharaoh of Eygpt Yami. She could barley hear her bare feet hitting the cold lime floors as she made her way to the throne room. She had to hurry up or she was going to be late and she knew how much he loathed tardiness. She giggled as she remebered how he would always scowl whenever she was even two mintues late for any of their meetings. Reaching the throne room she realized that she for once was there before him and she walked up toward the throne on which her brother sat and ran his empire from. As her hand flowed over the smooth cool gold of the chair Annisen looked over the engravings that had been painstakingly chisled into the golden mineral. They were depictions of all of her brothers duel victories including the last which had cost her brother more than he could have ever dreamed.
The last duel had been one of heartache and regret for Yami who had had to duel his royal advisor and best friend Seth. No one knew why Seth had decided to turn on his pharaoh they had been as close as brothers ever since Seth had been appointed Yami's adivsor when he had become pharaoh at the age of fourteen; now at eighteen it had seemed like both had become family that was until two weeks ago when Seth challenged Yami to a duel. Every one had been shocked not knowing why Seth had done what he did especially Annaisen who now had to face the fact that the two most important men in her life would literally be fighting in a duel to the death. For whoever lost the duel monsters challenge would then be sent to the shadow realm by the victor. Annaisen would now have to loose her brother, the only family she had left, or Seth the man she was just beginning to learn she loved with her whole heart. The day of the duel she watched from the sidelines her heart dreading the outcome not sure who she should be cheering on if anyone. In the end it was Yami who won with an incredible move by his Dark Magician combined with a trap card which over came Seth's Blue Eye's White Dragon. Seth having lost just stood there waiting for his punishment from his Pharaoh to be sent to the Shadow Realm. When it did not come Annaisen along with Seth turn confused eyes to Yami who stood before them his eyes full of sadness and regret.
"Seth even though you have betrayed me I still think of you as my brother and because of this bond I will not banish you to the Shadow Realm as expected of the victor, instead you will be banished from this kingdom and from all who you love," Everyone in the room gave an audible gasp at both the Pharaoh's generosity over not sending Seth to the Shadow Realm and also in his banishment from the kingdom. No one had been banished in over six hundred years and now Seth would be the first.
"My brother I do this not to be cruel but because I love you and cannot bear to see your soul tormented in the Shadow Realm for eternity, don't take your banishment as being permenant for even if you do not return to us in this lifetime you will in the next. I am saddened by you challenge of me but I have the feeling there are good reasons behind your actions and that even if you will not tell me now when next we meet even if it is thousands of years from now in our next lives I know you will tell me then when you are ready to do so, know that I love you brother and will never forget our bond of friendship and family as I hope you will not." With this her brother left the dueling arena and Seth behind. Annaisen was shocked at what her brother had said but believed with all her heart that his predictions would come true. For because of his dueling powers it was known by those close to him that the Pharaoh held great phrophetic powers and many times had visions of the future which had then come true. That he had a vision of them all meeting up in the future even in their next lives was not something to take lightly. It was with this knowlege that Annaisen felt somewhat better for what was about to occur. When Seth asked her to meet him here exactly at midnight Annaisen knew why. She was not stupid she knew this was going to be a goodbye but thanks to her brother she knew it would not be forever. Right then she heard footsteps coming from behind her. Turning around she saw Seth enterning the chamber looking as handsome as always. Seeing him standing there and knowing she might not see him for hundreds maybe thousands of years she broke into a run crying his name as she threw herself into his open arms. As he encircled her with his warmth and strength she heard his deep smooth voice as he spoke to her softly in her ear.
"My love I'm sorry I have to leave you, I had thought I could beat your brother but they do not call him the King of Games for nothing, don't worry about me love I have family in a group of nomads that live in the desert, my mother was a daughter of one of their leaders, I will live with them and be safe, my only regret is leaving you behind but you belong here with your brother where you will be safe and I know even with all he has done that Yami loves you and will take care of you." Leaning back from him Annaisen looked into the chocolate brown eyes of the man she loved and knew that even though she was still angry with him for what he had done to her brother she still loved him and would forgive him and wait for him to tell her his reasons.
"I forgive you Seth, for I love you and know there must have been a good reason why you choose the choice you did, I will wait for however long it takes you to tell me those reasons." Placing his hand aganist her cheek he caressed her skin reveling in the love he had found in this woman.
"Thank you my love for your forgivness, I was surprised myself when your brother spared me from the Shadow Realm, I had been told that he would send me there as he had done all the others I have seen him defeat before it seems that he was wrong and if so maybe the other information he gave me is also flawed I will have to think on many things especially on my previous thoughts on my Pharaoh, still know this I will always love you and one day in this life or the next we will meet agian and love agian and that next time we will not be seperated I swear it." Leaning forward he then pressed his lips to hers in a kiss both passionate and gentle in what she knew was a last goodbye. It was with this last kiss and words that she watched him leave her not forever but at least for this lifetime.
It wasn't until later as she slipped onto her sleeping mat that she thought over his words to her; who was the he that Seth mentioned? Was it someone inside the palace,someone who desired her brother's throne? So many questions and somehow she knew as she drifted off to sleep that it would be a long time before she received all the answers.
Present Day:
Anna woke with a start, looking around she half expected to see herself surrounded by a stone chamber and find herself laying on a straw sleeping mat. It was only after she saw that she was still in her luxious room in Pegasus's mansion laying on her comfortable queen-sized bed surrounded by silk sheets that she realized it had only been a dream. It had seemed so real, she could still smell the inscence that had permeated the throne room and still felt the cold smoothness of the golden throne when she had placed her hand on it. Shaking her head to dispeal any more dream images Anna went to take a shower and begin her day. By the time she had made her way down to the dining room she had convinced herself it was all a dream that was until she walked in to the dining hall and met Seto's gaze across the table. She knew those chocolate brown eyes staring back at her!
"Anna are you okay you're looking a little pale." A smooth deep voice asked her causing her to gasp slightly in shock. That voice but it couldn't be! Too much in shock to control her actions she let loose with the only thing that was in her mind at the moment one word: "SETH?"
