Ur reviews have made me happy. I'm updating on time and that makes you [the reader] happy! Isn't this a nice cycle?

Also, to whoever is good at drawing...I would be eternally grateful if you would draw scenes from the story. I tried to, but as Carly would not tell you, they sucked.

As many of you have asked I must tell you this, in the future Carly getting pregnant was just destiny, as the Egyptians believed, the past repeated itself. So therefore she and Bakura did nothing that would incite the pregnancy.

Also you may want to read this chapter over a couple of times, it's kind of important.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Yami and Bakura finally arrived all they found were unconscious bodies. Rin, A.K.A. Maria, outside. She apparently had been standing guard outside of the holding cell. Yami gave back Bakura's magic, thinking that Bakura would soon need it. The yamis ran inside the room, ready to either take on Marik and/or mangle his lifeless body.

Slumped near the wall, they saw Marik's unmoving, but still breathing body. He was holding a bloody Millennium Rod, with the dagger end uncovered. The bloody dagger worried the ancient spirits and they hurried to the other side of the room, where they could see two sprawling female forms. Nearing the forms, the guys identified the females as Carly and Alyssa. Alyssa's gashed arm however, worried the ex-Pharaoh and tomb-robber greatly.

Yami used his head to point to Bakura, then to Alyssa's arm. Getting the message, Bakura bent down and put his hands on either side of the gushing wound and concentrated. Slowly at first, then faster, the tissue and bone began to heal, thanks to Bakura's skill. The color returned to her recently too pale cheeks.

Bakura moved over to Carly, checking if she or the baby had sustained any damage. Finding none, Bakura picked up Carly, new bride style, and tole Yami to do the same. Carrying their treasures, the yamis walked out, giving the unconscious Marik a kick for good measure.

"What happened?" Yugi asked Yami and Bakura as the six friends waited for Alyssa and Carly to awaken.

"We have no idea," Bakura replied.

"When Bakura and I walked in, everyone had already been knocked out by some unknown force."

"Weird," Jackie noted. "Any clues as to what, or who, may have attacked everyone around the building?"

"Obviously, it had to have been an extremely powerful magic user, as the room practically smelled of elemental magic."

"What's that Yami?" Hannah asked.

"Let's explain it when Alyssa and Carly are awake, so Yami and I only have to explain it once." And so the six teens sat, staring at the two slumbering girls for a solid 15 minutes.

"Enough." Hannah collected ice water from the kitchen and threw it on Carly and Alyssa. She was tired of waiting.

Both wet females sputtered a moment before fully waking up. Immediately Carly's hands flew towards her abdomen, her eyes looking scared.

Bakura caught the look and reassured Carly the baby was in perfect health.

"So elemental magic...?" Hannah pressed again. The curiosity was killing her.

"Yami you explain," Bakura sighed, cuddling a very traumatized Carly. Yamis pulled Alyssa onto his lap, and held her close.

Yami sighed, snuggled Alyssa, and began a very long monologue of an explanation. "First off, there are seven known bases of magic. Air, fire, water, earth, life, shadow, and light. Air, obviously, controls the air, as well as create it. Those users can solidify the air to lift people, use it as a cushion or create a vacuum to suck something or suffocate people. Of course there may also be other uses that have been discovered since I died 5,000 years ago. Remember that for all the other elements.'

'Fire users can create and control fire and all of the benefits that go along with that. They can heat the air around them. They can also put our fires and is the best for attacking.'

'Water users can create and control water bubbles of any size, depending on their power level. They can create and control storms. They can create water sirens Which isn't very smart if the person is a male, as the water siren would kill them, but anyway...'

'Earth users control rocks. They can move and create them at will, as well as create earthquake, and when working with a fire user, mini volcano eruptions. Earth users can create, control, and grow living and dead plants.'

'Life users control the animal kingdom. They can control wild and domestic animals. They can turn any object or animal into another animal, though not into a human. They also can communicate with animals in human form. They can levitate most objects.'

'Light users can control light. They determine the brightness in an area, therefore mildly control the heat. They can temporarily or permanently blind people. They can control lightning and sounds, as well as levitate most objects.'

'Shadow users control shadows. Shadow users can form the shadows into and shape or creature and control it, that is, until their energy runs out. They can equalize the light in the area, causing the shadows in a room to disappear, making it difficult to hide. It's no fun playing hide and seek with them... It's also easiest for shadow users to summon the Shadow Realm and its monsters.' 'Bakura and I are both shadow users. Yugi is a light user while Ryou is life. Though neither have trained enough to use their power. Carly used to be an earth user-"

"Used to be? What does that mean?"an upset Carly asked.

"During our Egyptian times, you offended the goddess of magic, Selket, which led to your magic being revoked," Bakura said, as he, Yami, and Alyssa laughed at the memory.

Jackie asked what had happened.

Alyssa explained the whole bare-handed-beheading-of-a-statue-thing and soon the whole group was in a fit of giggles.

Yami continued. "For the life of me I can't remember Alyssa's element, but we'll figure out when the time comes.'

'Light and shadow users are the rarest type, as only a yami or yami-to- be/hikari pair can inherit these types. And even then, it may not happen, such as with Ryou. The most common element is the water user. About thirty percent of known elemental users were water back in the day.'

'Obviously, water generally overpowers fire, but not if the fire user has a higher power level. Most of the time it is so bad that a fire user is weakened if he or she is being rained on. Fire is also weaker than earth, but stronger than life. The rest of the match ups are fairly even. Especially light and shadow, they are dead even. Such is the reason for the usual light/shadow combination of a hikari/yamis pair, so that neither could be stronger and harm the other. Granted the gods probably didn't think about the fact that the yami would have to train his hikari... but that's a bit off track.'

'Users that share the same element, such as Bakura and I can transfer magic to one another. I'm fairly certain that it is impossible to forcibly take another's magic, but then it was five millennia ago when I learned my facts, but let's just hope no one has discovered a way to.'

'The rarest of all rare users is someone would use more than one type of magic. That someone like that would exist was only a theory of the high priests. Although I sort of remember some one who may have been during my life time. I know I knew them personally, but I can't recall their name. Such a person would have twice the power level of a normal magic user, as well as two powers. Again a duo element user may only be a theory that we have no use of.'

'Each elemental magic user has an extra power. Bakura can heal, I can sense people's aura and therefore tell if people are lying, what mood their in, and so on. We know Alyssa can heal herself and maybe others, but I think that is from the Millennium Necklace. As of yet, we haven't figured out Yugi or Ryou's extra power-"

"Why do you not know much about Ryou or Yugi?" Jackie cut in.

"That's kind of a funny story," Yugi began, scratching the back of his head. "You see, Ryou and I didn't actually know we had elemental powers until two days before we came to Florida. Ryou and I were playing a nice, friendly game of Uno while Yami and Bakura were arguing in the kitchen about how to turn Uno into a Penalty Game. Anyway stuff started levitating around us, the lights flickered, and Ryou claimed to hear voices. Anyway you get the point- it was chaos.'

'For a bit, Ryou just thought it was Yami or Bakura he heard, and neither of us noticed the light or levitation-it was a very intense Uno game...'

'Anyway, Yami and Bakura walked in and realized the truth, which led to tests, painful tests," Ryou and Yugi shuddered at the memory. "To determine our magical base. We only had time to do that- barely making it to the airport on time- let alone train Ryou and I up enough to use our powers. When we arrived here, we didn't know our hose well enough to know if we could trust her. Around the time school started we did trust you guys, er girls, enough to come out with the whole truth, but we simply didn't have time. The whole fiasco getting Yami and Alyssa together took longer then expected-" The couple blushed. "-and the teachers slammed us with homework and projects. Honestly, there just wasn't any appropriate time to come out and say, 'Oh by the way...'"

The girls nodded, satisfied with Yugi's explanation, however long winded and Charles Dickens like it was.

"So why don't you start training today?" Alyssa asked.

Yugi blushed and looked toward Yami to answer that one.

"Erm...You see, uh to uh be able to fully use your powers, you, um, can't, be a, uh. What I mean to say is you have to um un had..."

"You can't be a virgin," Bakura stated bluntly. "That's what Yami was getting around to. Only shadow and light elements can truly train to their full potential at a younger age. And because we don't want Ryou to fall behind, we just are going to have to wait."

The group all mouthed 'oh' and just kind of looked at each other.

"Well," Alyssa announced loudly. "That's a lot of information to digest. I propose we go to bed."

"But wait," Ryou countered, as everyone stood up to go. "I want to know what happened to you four tonight.!"

"Ladies first," Bakura said in mock politeness.

"No, no not today," Carly replied.

"Fine, fine." Bakura explained everything, including his and Yami's magic transfer. "You're next," he nodded to the girls.

When Carly got to the part where Marik was aiming for her abdomen, every person in the room gasped in fear. Carly told the rest of the story, to where she passed out after the boom. Yami's eyes widened.

"So the light originated from Alyssa's arm?" Yami exclaimed. Carly nodded, and Alyssa looked clueless, while she rubbed the fading, thing white line down her arm. "OK then, let's go to bed now."

After everyone else had gone to sleep in various places all over the house, Yami laid awake. He poked Alyssa to wake her.

"Wha?... early... five... minutes-"

"Alyssa we need to begin you training now."

"But that would mean-"

Yami silenced her with a kiss.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been decided (against my will mind you) but if you want to find out, tally the reviews urself.:-P

Also it turns out I was late to the camping trip because of this and my mom had to drive me over and hour away. So u better have liked that last chapter!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Review Responses~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ (please note that I did these before I typed the chapter or even knew which chapter I was going to type. And that I did this note after I wrote the reviews so I might b a little redundant in 1 or 2 of them, mentioning this again) Also note that the first part of your review I may already have typed but I'm not sure when I last did review responses. Stupid fanfiction.net being down...

Arinell- Oh darn... o well here's the next chapter. Um your suggestion is good, and mighty close to what I have planned, but if I do use it, it won't be for a long while. Say in spring at the very earliest. Also thank you for your fast reviews, you are almost always first to review a new chapter.

Cassandra Pegasus- Go you and u did vote for the winning side of the poll. I wouldn't know what one would be like either, because the last concert I went to was in 6th grade and it was an N*sync Concert so if any of you know different about blink 182 concerts feel free to correct me. A blowtorch? Geez that would have been a riot... But they'll be found don't worry

Anime-Blade- Yes your vote did matter, in fact you voted for the winning side. You still haven't answered why you review like that... but thanks anyways.

Setosangel1529-Thanks for your complimenting review. I don't think this one ends in a cliffhanger, but I'm not sure, as I don't know which chapter I posted last. The dance lessons was purely to get them out of the house. Combined with the fact that I can't dance for beans, I got this idea. You didn't guess that it was Marik, surprising because you were right about it being Carly and Alyssa. Well the reason no one noticed Marik carrying them away is because in anime shows the characters a) have no memory whatsoever or b) have an IQ of 3. Ever notice that whenever they get attacked by the same old enemy they're like 'what do we do now? We'll never defeat them!' I was making a play off of that. For the answer to your question look at the notes before the chapter. HAHA I never thot that about Marik's hair before that's great! Rin was knocked out by Yami and Bakura, did forget to type that? If so oops...

Camarao- Wow ur good. Mostly I can do 7 foot and some eight foot. I can beat all the standard songs and most of the challenge ones, but heavy I can't do, ironically.

Shadowstalker (Samantha)- not putting the #s at the end of the name, cuz they represent some bad things... That's totally ok that u thought my story would b boring in the beginning, cuz until the plot shows up the story does suck. Thank you so much for your review! It made me feel all happy inside:) And you guessed right as to whether Carly will move in w/ the FES. Yeah in the future it was just destiny, as the Egyptians believed, the past repeated itself. So therefore she and Bakura did nothing that would incite the pregnancy.

Mya starnight- Oops sorry about the misspelling, I almost did it again:) She will. And you are? If so congratulations!

Sylvyrfyre- What does your name stand for? I'm so confused... Sad, being from "sunny" *cough cough* Florida I think that I would die if it rained all the time. Like right now, the sun would be giving me a strong glare on the computer screen had the blinds not been shut. If you guessed Marik you were right. (Obviously) Nonsense, the festivities will be happy again soon. Aww but you also start school in September, no? But you also get out in June... And I had the best time of my life on the camping trip, it was very spiritually fulfilling.

RaeFangirl- Hey you've never reviewed before! Welcome to the club! Thanks for the uplifting review, she will be.

Yamijennimoto- Did you mean laxy or lazy? If lazy I am too most of the time. It won't be depressing, because this is, after all, a humor story. It will probably be a little sad and involve lots of crying, but it won't turn the story angst. Pumy or puny? It wasn't that small, but either this chapter or the next will be 8 pages long (double normal length) I don't know which chap. I'll be typing after I finish the review responses because fanfiction is down:( sigh... The length of the monster chapter (as the double length chapter will be referred to from now on) is because I was a week behind in my writing and during spring break I just sat down and wrote. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I couldn't find a place to stop so the chapter just grew and grew...

Ariadne Mesa- I guess it wounds nice, but what does it mean? Thanks, I feel honored that you would do that just for my story *sniff*... I do that too when I'm supposed to be doing research and what not:) Speaking of which I should be doing my numerous project that I have do next week but what ever.

Yami's-girl- Thanks and I will when fanfiction gets back up and I'm done typing this. Or while I'm typing this...

HannaH- no thanks, I'm too lazy:) Yeah, WordPerfect, that's to blame, of course. Good point I never thot about your not so natural obsession. J/k! Some one had to be at home though so they could sit at home and worry. It also will spur a very long and very important conversation soon.

QuietOne1- Your right Carly does seem to be there quite a bit, so it wouldn't be much of a change anyways. Glad you could finally catch up and I hope you like this chapter.
