Anaya's Creator: Hey, I'm back! I'm home from school because of some sort of sickness so I thought I'd update.

Malik: Did we miss anything?

Mokuba: Why did we only get two reviews this chapter?

Kaiba: I have no idea, but here they are:

Stormtracer:

I'm glad you liked it!

Kitou:

Thanks for the tip-off. But you didn't say whether you liked the chapter or not.

Anaya's Creator: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh;

In other parts of the blimp, things were happening as well. Odeon had agreed to duel Joey, just for a little fun, and everyone, except Kaiba, was now watching him kick Joey's butt. Kaiba was in the cockpit, making sure there were no mishaps on the ride home.

During Joey's duel (or I should say duels, after Odeon won he challenged Mai, then Ryou, then Yugi ect...), Tristan and Duke were trying to flirt with Serenity. She tried being nice about this, but much to her annoyance, they didn't let up. Exasperated and disgusted, she shoved them away from her and rushed out the door. Those jerks, she thought. Can't they see that I'm not interested? I wonder what Kaiba's up to..." Considerably calmer now, she went looking for him.

In the cockpit, Kaiba's thoughts had wandered from where they should have been to Serenity. That girl, he thought. She's appealed to me ever since Yugi and some of his gang of friendship freaks were trying to convince me to land this blimp.

"Look Kaiba, Bakura needs medical attention. You got to land this thing now," Joey demanded.

"That loser was in bad shape when he got here, mutt. It's his own fault he's in this state. He chose to go through with dueling and facing his Egyptian God card. I cannot be held responsible for his foolish choices," Kaiba retorted.

"Kaiba please," begged a strong sweet voice from beside Joey. It was the third-rate duelist's sister. "Bakura needs to see a doctor. You must land this blimp or get him some sort of medical attention, please." She was hunched over slightly, her soft amber eyes melting into his.

It had been the please that caught his attention and her pleading eyes that made the decision for him. He went over to the telephone on one of his walls, called the medics that were on board, and ordered some of them to go to Bakura's room immediately.

Throughout the rest of the night, and eventually the rest of his tournament, he couldn't stop thinking about Serenity's captivating brown eyes and her sweet melodic voice. He had to fight a constant nagging instinct to stare at her. Of course, he assumed that this was just raging hormones, but he was proved wrong. As she sang that night, he felt himself give way to her song and fall in love with her beautiful alto voice.

#End Flashback#

Perhaps once everyone is off the blimp and everything is back to normal for a while, I could... but Kaiba was suddenly jerked from his thoughts when he felt a hand on his lower arm. He grabbed it and stared at it for a little while. It was pale in color, with a small palm and long smooth fingers. He knew instantly that it belonged to Serenity. Turning slightly, he saw her gleaming eyes staring up at him. "My rose," he muttered, putting a hand on her cheek.

Serenity blushed then took his hands in hers then got on tiptoe and whispered in his ear. "Come with me." She dropped back down and gently pulled him into another room. There was a large window with a good view of the sunset on the west side of the large empty room. "The sunset is beautiful this evening isn't it?" she asked.

Kaiba's arms wrapped around her waist and held her to him. His eyes poured into hers with an imploring stare. "Must you call me that, my angel?" he inquired. "Call me by my real name: Seto, not the one my loathsome stepfather forced on me. Seto; say it for me, Serenity." He kissed the corner of her mouth, coaxing her.

"S... Se-Seto," Serenity gasped and as soon as his name fell from her lips, they were captured in an enticing kiss and she returned it just as longingly. After a few seconds, she broke the kiss and laid her head on his chest. "The sunset is very lovely tonight, isn't it?" she asked again.

"Yes, but you are indeed more beautiful by far." Kaiba ran a hand through her long silky hair then rested his head on hers.

"Attention, attention, Kaiba Craft 3 will be landing in the town of Domino in fifteen minutes. I repeat: we will be arriving at Domino in fifteen minutes."

Slowly, hesitantly, Serenity backed away from Kaiba a little. "I'd better get back to the others; they may be getting worried about me." She pecked Kaiba on the lips once more and left the room.

Back in Rogue's room, Malik awoke as the announcement sounded. He got up on his side and saw that Rogue was still fast asleep. There was a loud screech from Adan and he saw Rogue move slightly. "Adan, I don't want to get up yet; leave me alone," he heard her mumble in her sleep. She rolled onto her side nearest to him and snuggled up to his body. He couldn't help blushing even though she was doing this while half-asleep. At last, he got so flustered that he gave her a good shake in an attempt to wake her up.

Rogue moved a bit, her eyelids twitching a bit as she struggled to open them. With a heavy sigh, she gave up and they stopped moving. Her hands moved towards Malik and felt his cheeks. "Malik, your face is all hot," she commented. She felt it heat up even more under her fingers.

Adan gave a loud screech and ruffled his feathers with impatience.

"I'm up Adan; I'm up," Rogue growled. As she sat up, she felt Malik's warm arms wrap around her shoulders from behind and press her to him as he got up behind her.

"We have fifteen minutes still, darling; must we get up now? Come, lie with me for a while longer," he begged, nuzzling her hair a bit.

"Not now Malik, the blimp will be landing in those fifteen minutes. Perhaps some time in the new future,"

He pulled back some of her hair and began caressing her neck with his lips. "We won't have time in the near future. After the blimp lands, I need to go back to Egypt," he murmered.

"What?" Rogue got out of his embrace and grabbed his shoulders.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, my love. I need to return to Egypt for a while so that I can restore those who have gone to the Shadow Realm and diminish the memories of this time from my Rare Hunters' minds."

"Do what you must," Rogue said, dropping her head slightly. Then she threw her arms around him. "Just remember to e-mail me when you can."

Malik returned her embrace. "Don't worry, I'll do more than that. I can use the Millennium Rod to check up on you when I feel the need to."

"How?"

"With it I'm able to look through the eyes of anyone I wish." He gave Adan a sly glance, "Even if the eyes I choose aren't human."

Rogue bit her lip in confusion for a moment, and then realized what he was implying. "You're planning on using Adan to spy on me," she accused, giving him a playful shove.

"You caught me red-handed, love," he said laughing, pulling her back to him and placing a kiss in the crook of her neck.

"Just let me know when you're watching me." She broke away from him again and got off the bed."Come on, we should join the others in the main hall, if that's where they are." Adan flew to her shoulder and Rogue walked out of the room.

"Agreed," Malik got off the bed and followed her.

A while late Kaiba Craft 3 had landed and everyone was at the pier where Malik's boat was.

"My Pharaoh, thanks to you, my brother was able to conquer the evil that once consumed his heart and mind. We are forever grateful." Ishizu told Yami.

"Pharaoh, I hope that in spite all these past events, we can become friends." Malik said.

"Me too," Yami replied.

"Good-bye everyone," and the three Ishtar siblings turned to leave, but Rogue grabbed Malik's arm.

"You will return for me, right?" she asked.

Malik turned back to her. "I'll be here as soon as I can."

She gave him a loving smile and let go of his arm. "This isn't good-bye for us," she told him firmly.

"I'll be back for you, I promise." Malik lifted her chin, gave her a final kiss, and he and his siblings left.

Rogue kept facing the sound of his boat's roaring engine until she could hear it no more.

After the boat had disappeared, everyone went their separate ways, but not without Duke and Tristan slipping Serenity their phone numbers.

The gang then went to say goodbye to Mai, and Serenity and Kaiba were left alone with only Rogue for company, but she wasn't paying too much attention to them. "You still have those two dorks' phone numbers," Kaiba pointed out.

"Not for long," Serenity took careful aim and threw them into a nearby trash can.

"Nice shot," Kaiba moved in to kiss her, but at that moment the gang reappeared.

When she heard them approach, Rogue turned to them. "Well, I'd better get going back home. My mother's probably worried sick about me."

"Do you need someone to guide you home?" Yami asked.

"That'd probably be a good idea."

Yami took Rogue by the arm and began to lead her home. "See ya'll later," they both shouted back at the gang as they departed.

Ten minutes later, he and Rogue had reached her house. "Here we are," Yami told her.

"Thanks for taking me home, Yami." Rogue grabbed the doorknob and went to go inside, but Yami stopped her.

"Rogue, before you go inside, there's something I want you to know," Yami said. "If things don't work out with Malik, my heart will always be open to you."

"Nice try, Yami, but I doubt that will be necessary." Rogue answered. With that settled Rogue opened the door and went inside to tell her mother everything.
