Chapter 13: The End of the Long War

- Jou's POV -

It was Dartz, the captain well the person in charge of Doom Organization and the one that was in charge of my soul being separated from my body in that duel with Mai that day. He was a long blue haired person with an orange and blue eyes, strange isn't it? That couldn't be though Yuug said that he was in another world in another Atlantis happy, how could he be here? "Why aren't you back at that other Atlantis?"

This question seemed to sadden him I could tell, he didn't show it but it was all in his blue and orange eyes. "Well another tragedy hit the other Atlantis."I crossed his arms in interest as the blue long haired guy continued. "The three dragons that you and the other two had destroyed my city."I was shocked what could have happened to cause that?

"Did you do something to trigger that incident cause man if you piss them off like that, that would be the result."

Dartz growled at me. "I didn't do anything to them, they just came one day and destroyed everything, they even killed my family!"Man it's been over a year and he has a family again? What a shocker.

"Man I'm so sorry, why did you come here then?"

Dartz looked at me. "Why? When they destroyed everything I mean everything, I used the remaining of my strength to transport here, I decided to take my revenge on your little past selves in this century."

I blinked at him. "Why revenge on our past selves?"Yes why? That's was the difficult question here.

"Why? YOUR DRAGONS GAVE ME HELL! I've finally gotten myself into a good life and your dragons happened to kill my Atlantis. But I guess you wouldn't understand because you weren't exactly a somebody until those dragons came."

I growled, who dares call me a nobody, I'm no nobody! "Nobody calls me a nobody you nobody[1]."Dartz seemed to chuckle at this, HOW DARE HE CHUCKLE AT ME!

"On the contrary Katsuya you are a nobody, nothing but the Pharaoh's sidekick and the High Priests' canine."I growled again at this, he has another thing coming if he insults Katsuya Jounouchi!

- - Back in Domino in the Turtle Game Shop(Yuugi: Finally we come back YK: Yup. Yuugi: Great!) - -

"17 century Japan, was there ever such a thing?"Honda put his hand to his chin obviously pondering. "How did those guys get there in the first place?"

This question seemed to be on everyone's mind except for Bakura and Mariku. "That is a good question Hiroto."Shizuka did the same thing as Honda, maybe they should be husband and wife. Duke was angered at this so he did what those two did.

"We need to find out before something bad happens to them."Yuugi was determined to get his best friend back, it's like what the gang says, "Never turn a back on a friend in need."

Everyone nodded understanding the predicament of the situation as they grabbed some books and started to read, taking in any good information they would need to get the two back.

- - Back to Dartz the deadman and me the one who kicks his ass - -

I growled taking my fighting stance. "That's it! You're going down!"Charging at the long blue haired guy I swung my fist to him, but unfortunately I was thrown to the wall hard by his Millennium Rod. I plopped down to the ground wincing, that hurt like hell. "Where did you get that rod Dartz?!"

Dartz sighed as he turned his back from me, ready to tell a story I bet. "Well when I first arrived here I was on the ground a gold item was beside me."Great another life story moment. "I picked it up and I knew that it was special, since then it was very useful for me especially when I controlled you and killed your boyfriend."

I got up, growling, being brain washed once was bad enough but two times oh he's gone cross the line from my happy mood to my angry mood. He's going to get his ass whooped by Katsuya Jounouchi! "I hate you."I said through gritted teeth.

Dartz chuckled. "Nice to know puppy."Nobody calls me a puppy but Seto, he needs to die! I snapped and with rage in my eyes I charged yet again only to collide with the wall again. I plopped down to the ground for the second time as I panted heavily, getting hit by the wall 3 times is a real pain in the ass.

A bright light surrounded around the Rod suddenly as Dartz gasped. "What the hell's going on with my rod?"Man what the hell was going on, one minute it glows to bring me to this wall then the next all hell wants the Rod to glow, very brightly might I add.

Dartz looks from the rod to me, why is he looking at me? It was like he's seen something that was on me, I looked down at myself and saw nothing there, then back at Dartz as I saw that the rod disappeared instantly. I didn't know, that the cause of the rod was the item at the back of my shirt, I was clueless.

"It can't be."Was Dartz's reply to the disappearance of the rod, I chuckled and stood up I was ready to kick his ass now. "Well now who's the nobody, without that rod you're powerless."Yup the advantage was mine for sure!

But then he started laughing, has he finally cracked? I blinked as he turned to me. "Powerless you say?"I had a feeling something bad was going to happen and I was right, he turned into a black dragon with blue and orange eyes.

"HOLY SHIT!"Why didn't Yuug tell me about the dragon form, WHY?! My eyes widened a bit, as I started to sprint for my life and this time it's a life and death situation.

Dartz just chuckled and blew fireballs at me, one almost hit me now and is it me or is it getting hot in here? "You can't escape Katsuya!"I hear Dartz roar at me, oh shit I gotta think fast or I'm a boiled chicken literally.

A thought came to me, I had my deck with me! Man I feel so dumb right now. I quickly looked through my deck while trying to run at the same time, yes Gearfried the Lightning should work! "I summon Gearfried the Lightning! Attack the dragon!"

As Gearfried attack, Dartz sent a fireball and destroyed him. "Oh shit."Yup I was in big trouble now, how was I supposed defeat this all powerful dragon, hey maybe I can punch it, it's worth a try. I charged to the dragon, giving it a few kicks and a few punches until suddenly pain shot through my body. "ITAI!"I shout hopping around.

Dartz chuckled. "You can't defeat me or even put a dent on me give up."Oh god how I wish I had a Millennium Item or at least something to kill him, suddenly my deck glowed maybe god grant my wish.

Five cards then shot up in a row and I gasped, those cards were the five pieces of Exodia. Oh thanks god you rock! "I summon Exodia the Forbidden one! COME FORTH!"A dark black circle formed with a star in the middle as Exodia came out, Dartz gasped as I smirked. "Attack the dragon! Meet your maker Dartz!"

Exodia's fist then collided with the dragon as Dartz returned to his human form and disappeared. I blinked, how did he disappear? "Thanks Exodia!"I gave a thumbs up as he returned to the five cards.

I suddenly felt weak and fell to the floor with a soft thud. "Man I feel weak why?"After a few minutes of resting I got up and walked with the support of the wall up the stairs.

I took a deep breath as I opened the door to the floor where my Seto died, stumbling a bit I tried to walk to the for bloodied form of Seto Kaiba, my crush, my love, my koibito. "Seto, I did it I destroyed Dartz well not totally destroyed him, he disappeared."Tears escaped my eyes, I didn't pay notice as I looked at his peaceful face.

I then touched my lover sadly wanting to hold him in my arms again, wanting to feel the warmth from his body, but as soon as I touched him a light glow engulfed Seto making me confused and surprised at the same time.

A glow came from my shirt too, but I didn't notice it as the glow was so bright that I had to shield my eyes in order to block the light from my view.

It dimmed after a while as I opened my eyes to hear a grunt, I looked down, cerulean eyes opened, my tears fell onto the other. "Seto!"I quickly hugged him tightly, I thought I would never say this but, it's a miracle!

The wounds on Kaiba seemed to disappeared, no cuts no bruises, nothing except for the scars I think his stepfather gave him. "Jou?"Yes he's alive! A-L-I-V-E ALIVE! Ok I'm going ballistic here. Kaiba sat up blinking as he saw no blood on anything even near him, it was strange even to me.

His comforting arms wrapped against me as I put my head to his chest, enjoying the moment of comfort. "I missed ya."I whispered as Seto smiled and what I smile it was, it was sweet and carrying kinda like Mokuba.

"I missed you too puppy."

We looked into the others eyes, in a daze. Our faces then inched forward and forward until we felt the others breath. I closed my eyes this was the moment I had been waiting for ever since our confession, a loving kiss from the heart and soul.

We then kissed, Seto tasted like cinnamon, it was quite a relaxing moment, his tongue licked my lips wanting entrance to my mouth. I granted permission for him to do so, opening my mouth for the signal. I couldn't believe I was doing this, I'm french kissing Seto Kaiba!

Our tongues battled with one another, the only thing that we dread most was..We broke apart, yes the air was the dreaded part. It has been an hour since we first continued our kiss and now we stood smiling at each other, we were together again after what felt like forever or an eternity. "Katsuya?"

I drew a card from my pants pocket, it was the Red Eyes Black Dragon card, I smiled and held it up to the sky. "I SUMMON RED EYES BLACK DRAGON!"A glow came from the card as a Black scaled dragon formed and flew to where the two were.

"Lets go Seto!"He smiled as we got on, I wonder what happened to Blue? It was then at the minute of our departure there was a glow in my pocket and to answer my question little Blue appeared yawning.

"Konichiwa Seto and master."I grinned. "Hey Blue, where were you?"Blue chuckled nervously. "Sorry but I didn't want to interfere with anything so I hid in the card and slept.

Petting the dragon I chuckled. "Well Blue it's all over we can all go back into the castle and-."I was cut short as my eyes closed and I fell onto Seto.

- Seto's P.O.V -

"Katsuya! Katsuya!"I shook him, but to no avail, I guess it's true what the Yuugi-tachi says, "A herd of Elephants" won't wake up Jou. "You shouldn't wake up master Jou."Huh? I looked up and I think the Red Eyes was talking to me. "He's been through a lot, he needs to rest."I nodded and just petted Blue as Blue snuggled in my white trench coat.

- - Back at the Game Shop - -

"Minna! Come here I found something!"Sounds of trampling was heard as everyone rushed over to where Ryou was.

Yuugi was the first to speak. "What is it Ryou?"

"Look at this..."He showed everyone the book, the words were changing. "It now says, "The Mysterious Black Dragon with red eyes carries what is believe to be two humans, blond haired and chestnut haired boy."

Everyone gasped. "That might be the Red Eyes Black Dragon, the boys might be Kaiba and Jou."Everyone nodded to Honda's theory, well Bakura and Mariku were just reading some "How to torture people" books, while not caring for the world of Kaiba and Jou.

"Maybe this is the book we've been looking for, let's read on!"Yuugi shouted as everyone acted like they were in the army or something and read on.(YK: Kinda reminds me of the anime Fushigi Yuugi.)

- - Back with Me and the sleeping pup - -

I smiled at the sleeping blonde in my lap, stroking those blonde locks with my right hand I looked to Blue sleeping in my white trench coat. "Like master like dragon."I chuckled to myself, it's been a long time since I joked to myself, it took Jou to bring it out.

Out of the blue I quickly spotted the kingdom up ahead, this was it, the very place where Jou and I confessed. It feels like it's been a long time since then and it was only just 2 days ago. We landed on the ground, carrying the blonde in my arms Blue and Red Eyes just went back to their cards.

There was a lot of dead debris in the area, damn, I wonder if everyone's alright. I walked to the gate and knocked on it, there silence but then. "Who's there, state your name."

I took a deep breath, "Seto Kaiba and Katsuya Jounouchi."The gate opened as I walked in with the blonde soundly snoring in my arms, I rolled my eyes, does he ever not snore in his sleep?

Walking over, I heard some talking coming from the meeting room and walked in, I saw Yami and Mokie. They both looked down, I'm guessing something tragic happened while Katsuya and I were gone, closing the door quietly but it still was enough for the two to looked at us.

"Is Jou dead?"They both asked as I walked over and sat down.

I shook my head no, carefully placing him on the chair next to me. "Donuts!"Jou cried and moved into a comfortable position, whatever that would be.

The two then sighed. "What's wrong?"I asked blinking, this couldn't be good.

"Seito, he died."Was Mokie's reply.

"But his soul lives in a scepter that used to be a staff, I don't know where it is."This is tragic, Yami just lost his other best friend, and Mokie just lost his big brother. Damn.

I sighed sadly, brushing some of Jou's blonde locks. "I'm sorry for your loss."

Yami stood up. "It's ok Seto, we're glad you came back in one piece."

I chuckled. "Well I almost died."This caught the attention of the two by their wide eyes looks. "As I neared heaven, I heard a voice it said, "Go on back high priest your Katsuya needs you."I took that as a second chance and I opened my eyes to see my puppy."

A yawn was heard after that, I looked down as Jou's honey-brown eyes opened slightly. "Good morning."I chuckled at the expression as my puppy sat up.

"It's the evening pup, you slept the whole ride."

Jou stood up and tried to walk but fell. "Oh great I can't walk, what's happening."

Standing up I hoisted my puppy back to his feet. "How many monsters did you summon Jou?"I heard Atem ask, with the support of my body Jou managed to come back and sit down.

"Well 3, Red Eyes, Gearfried, and Exodia."That's when everyone's including my eyes widened. "After Exodia I summoned Red Eyes, why is everyone looking at me like that?"He blinked.

Yami was greatly shocked. "Exodia the Forbidden one has been summoned by you?"

Jou nodded. "Why? Was it bad? Why do I feel weak after I've slept through the ride back here?"Lots of questions from the pup and little time for us to answer them.

"It's not bad Jou, it's just nobody has been able to summon Exodia except for Joey. The answer to you feeling weak is that when you've summon monsters here they drain some energy from you especially Exodia."

Jou blinked. "Wow."Yup that's what he had to say about that, silly puppy.

"I shall return to my quarters, good night Jou, Seto, and Mokie."Yami let a tear go by notice to all of us and walked back to his room.

Jou still blinked. "Why was he crying Seto?"

"Seito died."

Jou gasped. "Oh man, I'm so sorry."I felt a tug from below me as I saw the eyes of little Mokie, it must be very hard on him.

"Can I sleep with you guys together tonight?"He so reminds me of Mokuba sometimes, he'd always ask me that question when a thunder storm hit.

Jou smiled at him, ruffling his hair, as he looked up at me. "Can we Seto?"Please don't do the puppy dog eyes, please Jou. "Or else I'll do the dreaded look."

"Alright. Alright, please not the look."Mokie and Jou chuckled, they're so innocent, it's like I have two brothers.

Jou smiled. "Then it's settled let's go sleep."Mokie and I chuckled as Jou just blinked. "What?"

"Oh nothing Jou."Mokie and I replied in unison, if Jou wasn't on the support of my arms he would have shrugged right now. Walking out of the meeting room, I dragged the puppy and watched the little Mokuba look-a-like as we walked to Jou's room.

"Why are we in my room?"

I chuckled. "Cause you have the largest bed then Mokie and I?"

"Oh."Was his response, he was so adorable when confused.

Snuggling up with each other all of us finally slept, with peaceful dreams, the nightmare of the war finally over.

- - Back with Yuugi and the army friends - -

"Everyone is now asleep, especially the blonde boy who was snoring."The Yuugi-tachi chuckled at that particular sentence, it was Jounouchi alright, who else would have blonde hair and snore?

Everyone sighed, well everyone in the Yuugi-tachi sighed, Mariku and Bakura still didn't care. "Do any of you miss Jou, cause I'm starting to miss Kaiba too."That was Honda reply to the sighing, yup everyone except Mariku and Bakura missed Jou and Kaiba, yup they've been gone for almost a month.(YK: Time flies slow here huh?)

"We all do Honda, I wonder if they will ever come back."Yuugi sighed. "We all miss those two, and now that I think about it, I miss their bickering."Everyone mumbled a, "Yeah."

Ryou then spoke. "Let's hope they'll be back soon."Everyone nodded, all they have left is to hope that they would come back soon.

- - At sunrise or whatever, where I was - -

I opened my eyes to see the sun already up, I looked to my watch it was 10 a.m, first time in years I've woken up late. Sitting up I saw that Mokie was out of sight, I'm guessing he woke up already, looking to Jou he was sprawled all over the bed, gods does he ever fall off the bed?

I took a pillow and threw it to the blonde's head, it didn't wake the blonde up, it always worked on me when Mokuba had to wake me up that time, guess I'll make breakfast. Standing up I yawned and walked to Jou's duffle bag. "Ok what to make?"I pondered. "Pancakes, he won't resist that and besides that's the only breakfast food I could make."

Getting the materials I walked to the kitchen, some people were following me, but I didn't care. "Ok. It's been a long time since I made these, so come on lady luck."I chuckled, I couldn't believe I was saying that.

Well cooking, I prepared some orange juice and hummed the English opening theme song of that show what was it called again? Oh yes it was "Detective Conan."Mokuba would always record it and play every episode everyday, he got the theme song stuck in my head.

"It was the first new century

In a hundred years

And when I felt that I should cry

I laughed my tears....."

I smiled at myself as I prepared some pancakes for the pup, yup what a masterpiece if I do taste so myself. Taking one bite of the pancake I found myself eating one whole one. "Suke. I still have the touch."

Walking out of the room carefully balancing the food with a tray, I can't believe the pup would have that much stuff in his bag. Practically everyone from the kingdom were following me even Yami and Mokie, I was used to it being a CEO and all. I stopped halfway and smirked. "This will surely wake him up."

Taking a deep breath. "BREAKFAST PUPPY!"It echoed throughout the castle I bet, just then a blur of blonde hair sped towards me and when I looked to where the tray was, it was gone, instead I looked down below and saw my puppy eyeing the food hungrily, ready to strike it anytime.

"Breakfast time!"Jou cheered as he took a bite, chewing it his eyes sparkled. "SUKE!"That was when he dug right in, what a puppy he is, ten minutes passed and well all 10 stacks I made for the puppy was eaten. "Yum. Arigatou Ryu."

I smiled. "You're welcome koinu."

Everyone blinked as they saw Jou pout. "Me no puppy!"

I chuckled. "You'll be a puppy to me."That was when dear Katsuya jumped on me making us both fall. "Puppy please get off me."

Jou chuckled. "Not until you say "I give Katsuya Kaiba Corp."

My eyes widened. "NO WAY!"That was when Jou got off me, I blinked.

"Just kidding Seto."We both stood up and bowed to everyone. "Ohayou Gozamasu, oops we mean Good Morning."Chuckling all the others walked to their positions to go do their chores.

Mokie and Yami walked to us as Yami suggested. "Lets take a walk."

"Sure."Katsuya replied as we followed Yami outside to a place that didn't have any dirty debris. It was quite beautiful, it was kinda like the garden back home.

Katsuya and I sighed sadly, I guess the pup is worried about his sis and everyone, I'm worried about my Mokie. "So what are we doing here?"I ask, what were we doing here?

"We're here because."Yami snapped his fingers and a black portal appeared, it looked like the portal that Mokie and I went through when we were in my virtual world game. "This is your trip home."He continued as Jou and I gasped.

Katsuya's eyes then widened. "I forgot my stuff! Be back in a sec!"He sped out of the garden and then came back out of breath with his duffle bag. We all chuckled at Katsuya, which caused him to do a cute pout. "I didn't want to leave my guitar here."

Yes that's right, I remember him saying just a month ago of how he wanted to sing that song to his sister. "Thank you for helping us."We looked back at Yami.

"You're welcome Yami!"Jou smiled. "It was nice to meet you guys."It was true, I've made friends with my arch rival in the 17th century, oh well.

I smiled. "It was fun."

Mokie then hugged us back, he so reminds me of Mokuba, I should call him Mokie now that I've gotten to know this little guy and maybe it'll just be a habit when I get home. "It was nice meeting you Seto, Jou."It was then he added. "I give you the best of luck in the marriage."

Yami punched the little guy playfully as the pup and I blushed a deep shade of crimson. "Mokie stop that."Mokie chuckled.

Walking just a little more I saw Jou turn around. "We'll never forget you guys."Yami and Mokie smiled, Katsuya always brought the bright times around when it was usually the sad times, he waved.

"Say goodbye to everyone for us."I say to them, they nodded as they walked. Grabbing the pup's hand with mine we walked to the portal but then.

"Goodbye Joey and Big brother!"Jou and I blinked as we walked into the black swirling vortex. When we walked in, it felt as though we were falling. I felt Jou clinging onto me as we both closed our eyes shut.

- - Back at the game shop - -

"Great Jou disappeared I can't find him anywhere."Yuugi shouted as everyone crowded around Yuugi to see nothing about Jou or Kaiba in the book, but then a light shown in the middle of the room as the pup and I appeared, still hugging each other.

Everyone opened their eyes except for the pup and I and gasped. "Is it safe to open my eyes Seto?"

"I don't know puppy, we'd landed on the ground and I don't know where we are."Yup were we back in Domino it was a mystery but not far a mystery since now we're going to know where we are.

"KATSUYA JOUNOUCHI?! SETO KAIBA?!"We opened our eyes and froze still hugging each other in the middle of what looked to be a game shop.

To Be Continued

"WHAT?!"We both shouted as we saw what looked like....
