Warning: The only pairing in this story is IshizuxPegasus. If you do not want to read an IshizuxPegasus fic do not read this story.

A/N: Hey guys! After a short two days I'm back! Just to tell you, this two shot story has turned into a three shot story. I thought this part would be a lot shorter then it is. Well, three chapters for three cards!

Thanks for the Reviews! You know, I'm surprised people read this because of the pairing.

blueyes08: You don't think I'm a bad writer?! Wow! Thank You!

Yamaromantist: Out of the box, eh? I can be out of the box sometimes, too.

Misura: I think they did explain how the cards came got to where they were. All I remember is a clip of Pegasus looking out a window and then Ishizu opening the door and Pegasus turning around a gasping. And then a clip of them burring the card in a big hole. Pegasus is a lot less serious in this chapter. And Ishizu isn't that old! She's no more than 20 (okay, so that is kinda old. She's not really a girl either. Oh well)! Thanks! (For reviewing)

The Flashback Continued....

The next day we packed up camp and traveled another 150 miles southwest from the location of Obelisk the Tormentor. And buried Slifer the Sky Dragon the same way we did Obelisk.

After we had buried Slifer, the crew had to decide where we were going to lock The Winged Dragon of Ra. After assuring us that they could handle it by themselves, we were left, once again, with nothing to do.

"Well, what should we do now?" you asked while smiling brightly. You clapped your hands together, "Ooh! I know! We could go explore!"

"Huh? What?" Your suggestion took me by surprise.

"I said let's go exploring!" You exclaimed excitedly.

"Where?"

"Out there," you said pointing out to the vast desert.

"In the desert?"

"Yeah! Come on lets go!" You shouted as you started to walk beyond the camp.

"We'll get lost!"

"We won't go too far," you said turning around, waiting for me to catch up.

"We could still get lost! Besides there's nothing to see out there!"

"Yes there is!"

"No, there isn't"

"How do you know?" you cocked your head sideways and crossed your arms, "How do you know, hmm?"

I smirked. You looked like a child standing there with your arms crossed. "I just know."

"How do you know if you've never been there, huh?"

"I, er, umm..."

"Ha! You don't know!"

"..." I glared at Pegasus.

"Come on! Let's go!" I sighed as you ran towards me and grabbed my hand. You started to drag me out of the camp. "Shouldn't we take some water?"

"Don't worry. We won't be gone that long."

I gave up trying to get you to go back. So we walked further into the desert. Every few minutes I would look over my shoulder to make sure I could see camp. Suddenly you shouted, "Ooh! Look at that rock!"

"What rock?"

"That one, over there!" you said pointing to a boulder in the distance, "Come on, let's go see it!" And before I could respond, you grabbed my hand and we ran towards the rock.

"Wow, this is so cool!" you said, circling the rock a few times.

"It's a rock." I couldn't believe that you were amazed by a rock.

"Yeah, isn't it cool?" I rolled my eyes.

"Yup," I said extremely sarcastically, "It's awesome." You ignored my comment and climbed on top of the rock. "This is a pretty big rock, isn't it?" I sighed. "Pegasus, let's go back to camp, okay?"

"Can we stay just a little longer, please?" There was a short silence, as we tried to stare down each other.

Finally, I gave in. I sighed, "Alright, Pegasus, you win."

"Yea!"

"You're as bad as Marik," I mumbled under my breath.

"Huh? What did you say?" You looked at me worriedly, like you had done something wrong.

"I just said you're as bad as Marik."

"Oh." You were silent for a minute. Then you asked, "Who is Marik?"

"He's my little brother."

"Is he nice?" you asked with curiosity in your voice. I looked down at the ground and noticed a small stone in the sand. I focused my attention on it as I whispered, "He used to be."

"He's not any more?" Pegasus said softly. I shook my head no and sniffed. "Why?" Pegasus asked once again. I sighed, and with my attention still focused on the stone I replied, "It's kind of a long story."

"Could you tell it to me?"

I shook my head "No."

"Come on, you can sit up here with me." Just as I was about to say 'No, I don't want to talk about it,' you reached down and grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to the rock. "Here, put your foot there, in that crevasse there and I'll pull you up." You wouldn't take no for an answer, so I obeyed.

When I sat down on the rock, you said, "Tell me about your brother."

I sighed and softly said, "I don't know where to start..."

"Start by telling me about your family." I sighed. How was I supposed to explain to you that my family were tomb keepers? "Well my family, since ancient times, has had a very important duty and tradition."

"What's that?"

"We were..." I hesitated, not sure whether or not you would believe me, "tomb keepers."

"Tomb Keepers?!"

I nodded, "For 5000 years my family has protected the tomb and the secrets of the Ancient Egyptian pharaoh, Yami."

"A pharaoh?"

"Yes, our family was to stay in the tomb, protecting the secrets of the pharaoh until he returned."

You looked at me confused, "Did the pharaoh return?" I sighed and continued on.

"My family consisted of me, my brother Marik, Odion who was adopted by my mother, and my father."

"What about your mother?"

"She died, shortly after Marik was born."

"Oh."

"Once my brother was ten years old, he was to receive the Tomb Keeper's Initiation because he was the first born male. The initiation was he had to have the secrets of the pharaoh written on his back, and this would make him destined to be a tomb keeper all his life. But Marik didn't want to stay trapped there forever he wanted to explore the world. Odion, who was older than both me and Marik, wanted to take Marik's place but our father wouldn't let him because he was not an Ishtar by blood. So Marik was forced to become a tomb keeper. He thought it was Pharaoh Yami's fault I he had to protect the tomb. He blamed it all on Yami. Marik thought he deserved to be the Pharaoh, not Yami.

I felt bad for Marik. He would never be able to see the outside world, ever. So I promised him I would take him out of the tomb for an hour. Leaving the tomb was strictly against the rules. But Odion said he would cover for us, so we left.

We explored a small town, and during that trip a man named Shadi appeared before us."

"Shadi?" I nodded.

"He said that the pharaoh would return soon and that we had awakened a great evil. I got scared so I quickly brought Marik home. But as we were about to enter the tomb, I noticed some type of alarm that had been set off. I grabbed Marik and ran to our rooms. They were a mess. Our father had searched the room for us. Marik suddenly remembered Odion, and we ran down the main hall searching for him. We found our father beating Odion for letting us leave. Marik got mad at him and..."

"And what?"

"He changed.... A great evil controlled Marik and he picked up the Millennium Rod and h-he..." I stopped a whimper and swallowed hard.

"Go on," you said.

"He killed my father. The evil would've killed me too, but Odion..."

"Odion what?"

"I'm not exactly sure what Odion did but he suppressed the evil with in Marik. Since our father died I was forced to inherit the Millennium Necklace early, as was Marik forced to inherit the Millennium Rod. Marik ran away shortly after our father died and Odion went with him. Ever since then I have been trying to stop Marik on his quest to get revenge on the Pharaoh. And the only reason why I helped you get rid of the cards. For in order to obtain the power of the Pharaoh, he must have the three Egyptian God Cards and the Millennium Puzzle"

"..." You were silent.

I sniffed, "It's my entire fault that this all happened."

"Huh?"

"It is." I felt tears come to my eyes, "If only I had obeyed the rules and not taken Marik outside, this evil wouldn't have been born." I let a small tear slide down my cheek. You wrapped your arms around me. "Fate is cruel, isn't it?" you asked. You then pulled away from me and slid off the rock and started walking back to camp.

You looked back at me still perched on the rock and asked, "Come on. I thought you were egger to get back to camp." I slid off the rock and followed you. As we walked back in silence, I couldn't help but to ask myself: why I did tell you about Marik?

A/N: So how'd ya like it? Pegasus kind of sounded like a two year old when he was talking about the rock, didn't he? Oh well. One more part to go! It'll be here in about a week.

Please Read: In your reviews I don't want to here about how Ishizu and Pegasus are not a good pairing! I know about Cecilia (Pegasus' dead wife. The entire reason why he went after Yugi and created the game in the first place)! I don't care if Pegasus is older than Ishizu! I support this pairing and I don't want you bashing it!

A/N: Sorry I had to repost that warning thing. Please Review!

Ta-Ta!
