Disclaimer: Oh the things I would do if Yu-Gi-Oh were mine. Number One: Seto and Téa will starting dating (Starts rummaging around) I got a list here somewhere! It's pretty long... Oh, look I found Chapter 22... I wonder if you'll like it. (Smiles nervously)
Seto smiled warmly when blue eyes stared up at him for the first time. "Welcome back."
"How long this time?"
"Just a day." He took her hand and she pushed herself up into sitting position, running a hand through her long russet hair.
"I feel sick." She said wrapping her arms around her stomach. "Will you carry me to a horse?" Seto nodded and he lifted her in his arms, she peered over her shoulder to see their group of seven pack and saddling horses.
"I thought about it and knew you'd be upset if we didn't start traveling. I've arranged for Serenity to ride by us, in case your wound starts to act up." She frowned and bit her bottom lip as he put her on the horse.
"That's my fault. I pressured the wound and—"
"Hush. I'm not looking for you to explain, just be well." Téa frowned and held onto the stallion's neck as he went over to his kid brother. "You'll be all right riding with Serenity and her brother?"
Mokuba gave his brother the thumbs up. "Sure." Seto ruffled his brother's hair as he tried to swat at him. Seto laughed mildly and went back to Téa. He got on the horse; she in front and he took hold off the reigns. He was warm and for the oddest reason she was feeling chilly.
"Are we ready?" Seto inquired as he brought the horse around. Téa pressed her back against his chest and rested her head on his arm; he looked down at her for a moment to see her eyes closed. Poor thing. He thought as he looked back at the rest of the group brooding their horses.
"Okay, let's make way for Duelist Kingdom." Tristan said pulling Lord Devlin up onto the stallion. They all set off on their horses.
On Serenity's request, Joey brought his stallion over to Seto's and the girl looked up with worried, amber eyes. "She's asleep." Seto gave a single nod and looked straight ahead.
"Tell me, will this wound heal?" Serenity frowned. "It should. But she has taken a serious blow, the vein was rupture—" He dug his heels into the sides of his stallion and took off ahead of them. "He told me too stay by them. This is a selfish act. She could be hurt, Joey go after—!"
"Serenity! Listen, he's the one doing the danger to her. He cares about her so he'll come back, but no one wants to hear your analysis so just tell him what he wants to hear next time." Serenity clung tighter to her brother in her sulkiness. She was only trying to help. He asked her and as a doctor, though not a fully trained one, she was supposed to answer truthfully. But it was true, when one cared deeply they never wanted to hear the evil that could happen to that person throughout their existence. The clouds were growing thick and gray and the wind chilled a little. Serenity rested her head on her brother shoulder when she felt shivering from behind. "Mokuba? Are you all right?"
"Yes, just cold." He shivered and Serenity untied the jacket to her dress from around her waist.
"Here, put this on." The eleven year old did just that and rested against her and she smiled. "Better?" He nodded and she smiled. "We'll be out of the Desert soon." Kaim. The Desert. There was nothing but sand and dunes for miles and miles. But soon they really would be out of the Desert and in Battle City. Serenity shuddered at the thought but something distracted her. They were huge and frightful. This was why people feared the word: Dragon.
"Two Black Skull Dragons." Duke muttered under his breath. Soon there could be fire seen blazing from on end to the other.
"They must be fighting." Serenity said as low as Duke had spoken moments ago. They had all slowed their stallion. Serenity's mare that was tied to her brother's stallion stepped closer to the yellow stallion, fear glinted in the female's eyes. Serenity breathed slower, if the Dragons had noticed them then only bad things would follow. Dragons were much like hippos, they were more territorially then hungry for human flesh. That was probably why the two were fighting. Perhaps it was two male Dragons looking for territory to be labeled theirs.
"I hope Téa is all right." She whispered more to herself then anyone, she felt that in terrifying moments it was good to hear your own voice once in a while, more than ever if you had to say quite for a long time.
Oh... it's cold! I hate being cold. I didn't even want to get out of bed to update... it was that cold. I wanted to stay under my warm blankets all day, but I finally got up. See... 'cause I updated.
