I will not be going back to Seto's and Alec's past any more at least not in the flash back in between scenes. I am keeping it in the present day, unless it has to do with what I wrote before, or Egyptian past for the characters, the cast this time will be: SETO, ALEC, SARA, YUGI, TEA, TRISTAN, MOKUBA, JOEY, and few familiar faces. A little bit of kissing and alcohol, nothing much worst then that.
Chapter 7
The odd couples
The sun rose on the plateau, that morning Seto was awake first, Alec was still resting. He looked at her from were he slept, she looked so calm, just as he was about go leave the tent Alec began to shake, and turn she was saying something in her sleep, but it was muffled, Seto couldn't make it out.
Alec appeared to be having a nightmare; he ran and quickly shook her awake. "NO I won't let," she screamed, when her eyes popped open. She saw Seto holding her by the shoulders, "Alec it was just a dream." Alec realized that and sat up in her cot. "Ouch my head," she said.
Seto looked, around Alec's cot; there was not anything that she could have bumped her head on. "Alec how long did it take you to fall asleep yesterday?" he asked. Alec shook her head to throw away the sleepiness, "While you were sleeping I helped my self to a little something," Alec pulled out a bottle of something and showed it to Seto.
"You were dinking wine last night," he asked. Alec nodded, "yeah my remedy to help me sleep out here," she said, "I think I drank too much or to fast I can't tell which ouch."
Seto looked at the bottle; it been closed but not emptied, "Alec this thing is still full." Alec nodded but then pointed to the other side of the tent, which her bags sat, three large wine bottles sat on the floor empty.
Mokuba voice came from outside, "Seto, Alec, time to eat get out of bed you two, both of you just slept through yesterday." Seto left Alec with her headache, and went to tell Mokuba that she would probably stay there for a while.
Seto opened the tent to find Mokuba, Sara, Tea, Tristan and Yugi looking at him while they sat a table eating pancakes. "Good morning, Seto," said Sara as she ushered him to the table. "Here is breakfast, it chocolate chip pancakes," said Sara.
"Did you sleep well, Seto?" asked Mokuba. Seto nodded while sticking a piece of pancake into his mouth it was almost lukewarm but not cold. "I don't think Alec did though, she drank three bottles of wine," he said after he swallowed his piece of pancake.
Sara let out a laugh, "Just three, gosh Seto I have seen her drink up to 12 bottles to get to sleep, don't worry it just grape juice with a little amount of alcohol," she said to reassure Tea, Yugi, Tristan, and now Joey who joined the table.
A large yelp came for Alec's and Seto tent, Sara smirked "looks like drunken sleepy is awake," Alec had fallen out of her cot, "Ouch," sound a second later. "I am ok," Alec yelled. Sara laughed so did Mokuba, Joey, Tristan, and Yugi. Seto in a way gave a little laugh but just a "hump."
Alec emerged from the tent; her hair was a mess, dressed in kakis shorts, and a black tee shirt that she had put on backwards and inside out. Sara walked over to her disorganized sister and turned her back towards the tent, moments later Alec and Sara emerged again, with Alec's hair brushed and her shirt on correctly.
Seto was surprised to see Isis, Marik, and Odeon, pull up in a jeep as Sara and Alec stepped out of the tent. "Odeon," said Sara, as she ran towards the jeep. Odeon jumped out of the jeep and hugged her, "I was wondering when you would get here," she said with a large smile on her face.
Alec stumbled a bit but found her way to the table. Seto raised an eyebrow, "Let me guess her fiancée is Odeon?" he asked. Alec gave a little nodded and plop her head on the table, "yep." Mokuba let out a laugh, "wait till you see what's going to happen to her next Seto," he giggled.
Marik stepped behind the almost pasted out Alec, he took her shoulders, and sat her up, "Good morning little drunken flyer, have a nice, flight?" he asked with a smirk on his face. Alec opened her eyes, "Marik now is not a great time," she said in a tried voice.
Marik had an evil smirk on his face, "Well then let me wake you up." Marik then placed his hand around Alec's waist and lifted her up. "Ah, Marik cut it out," Alec yelled being pulled out of her seat.
Mokuba, Yugi, Tea, and Tristan all laughed, Marik put Alec down and spun her to face him. "What no kiss for your boy friend," he joked with raised eyebrows. Alec opened her glaring eyes, "Marik! You know how to push my buttons right now, but you can forget that kiss I said I was going to give you when I got back and when I am sober," she gave a small breath in Marik's face. A look of disgust was on Marik's face after that, "Yep that kiss can wait, you need a breath mint because your breath smells like a camel's ass," he said putting Alec down. Alec then fell as she walked to the table and sat down again.
Seto raised an eyebrow, Alec was dating Marik, and Sara was marrying Odeon what were the odds and he just happened to be at the wedding. Mokuba let out a laugh as Alec found her way to her plate; she was a complete wreck as bad as Sara had been at the party for the Devin Corruption nine years ago.
"Alec sis, it time you ate something," said Sara pulling away from Odeon, Tristan put a plate of pancakes in front of Alec; she ate them quickly, almost as bad as Joey did when he was hungry. Seto disgusted by her eating habits now left the table Yugi went with him.
Seto and Yugi walked over to some of the other tents were the crews were seating things up that were to go in the ceremonial spot, where the wedding was going to take place.
"Yugi, why are you following me?" asked Seto, when he noticed that Yugi was following him. "I just came to see how you were doing, you looked pretty upset when Marik was holding Alec, I wanted to make sure you were alright," he answered.
Seto turned and faced Yugi, "I am a little steamed that, Alec didn't tell me that she been dating Marik, but the fact is Yugi…err" started Seto and he kicked some dirt. "… I have been waiting for her to come back to me ever since…" he looked down at the ground and gave a sigh, he was trying to say it but the word just did not come to mind.
Yugi could see he was struggling with this, "You love Alec don't you?" he said calmly. Seto looked up, "In a way Yugi, I do or I did, I don't know anymore. I hate this whole wedding thing for Sara, I was not even going to come, but Sara asked me when she was visiting to give her away. That is what I hear to do she is after all, my step cousin and I am the only other male in the family besides Mokuba and Pegasus that can do that duty," he said while letting out another sigh.
Seto look back at the ground, "I hate the fact that Alec did not even tell me that she was even seeing anyone, that just burns me up, and of all people Marik that guy, who almost killed Wheeler, not that I cared at the time, trapped Mai in the shadow realm, that I didn't really care about either, and…"
Seto paused again, from his ranting, Yugi decided to finish the sentence, "And you love her, it not fair, and you never told her that," he said. "I do, or think that I do, love her Yugi, at times I find myself thinking why I didn't say anything to her when we were more then just family. I would do anything, to tell her how I felt, then but I held back for feared it would put her and me in danger," said Seto in a half sad and angry voice.
Sara watched from a distance, as Yugi and Seto talked, she looked over at her hung over sister. Isis and Tea were talking, Tristan and Joey had there mouths hanging down at how Alec was eating and Marik was talking with Odeon.
Sara walked over to her sister, "We need to talk alone, NOW!" Alec put down her folk and followed Sara over to Alec's tent.
"I watching you eat like a pig, and yet Seto is way over there," she points her finger in Seto and Yugi's direction, "he's complaining about you, Alexandra," Sara finally snapped.
Alec raised an eyebrow, "Sara, I did not tell Seto that I was seeing Marik, I know that is what I told you I was going to do when I decided to stay with him, but I just…" Alec paused her head hurt from the wine, and she was feeling confused.
Sara crossed her arms, "You care about Seto, and you told me that you didn't like to see him hurt, but look at what you're doing. You are a mess! I never seen you like this, your drinking Alec, I seen you do this before and it was after that assignation attempt four years ago. I knew I shouldn't have let you drink at the time but now your 21, I can't stop you but look at yourself," she said.
Sara had now stopped and taken a good look at Alec; she was standing straight and not showing one sign of hangover anymore. Alec spoke up, " I drank last night because of three reasons two you know good a well, the third is that dam nightmare of me jumping off a cliff in to a river of lava and saying something to Seto, that right now, I don't really feel for him. Sis, I am completely fine, I am just a good actor, and you see I drank only one bottle of wine the other two I found lying around the tents. I know what drinking does to us in this family, I had to carry you up the stairs when I was 12 with Hobson and Mokuba after you had only half a bottle," she said reminding her sister of the party night.
Sara glared at her sister, "Ok, because looking in your eyes I see that your pupils have gone down, and you look like you have a headache. So here is the deal you tell Seto you don't like him anymore or you break up with Marik either way your going to have to break it off with somebody and at this point I don't care whom," she snapped.
Sara then looked her sister squarely in the eye, "I am not going to let you ruin my wedding to Odeon, which I know you don't want me to marry the guy but I do love him, Alec, and he loves me, we both admitted that a long time ago after Seto's battle city tournament. You and Seto however haven't admitted a lot to each other, I think sometime today or this week before my wedding you make a decision, if you don't then I will make it for you which will be no one got it!" exclaimed Sara.
Sara walked away and Alec followed her, Seto and Yugi finished there discussion and returned to the table as the two woman returned. Alec sat down across from Seto and sat next to Marik who could tell Alec was in bit of a bind with Sara, "You want to talk to me about it later?" he asked, "Yeah, Marik, I would, how about when my headache goes away and we go to the cave and talk," she said.
Marik nodded and agreed, Seto looked at the two, and Mokuba could tell his brother was holding back his anger, "Seto are you going to be ok, and you look like you're going to burst," he said.
Seto realized that he was feeling a little hot so he decided to go change into cooler clothes. Seto went to the tent to change, Alec sat for a while finishing her pancakes eating normally. Seto came out moments later wearing some khaki shorts and green shirt, Alec mouth dropped when he stepped out of the tent.
Marik closed Alec's mouth with his hand, "Alec, stop drooling over Kaiba remember, you're my girl now." Alec shook her head, "Marik lets get going I feeling like looking at those hieroglyphs that I found before I went to Domino, I think I need to read them again." Sara rolled her eyes at her sister; she knew that Alec was going to be dodging Kaiba for the rest of the day. "Alec why don't, Yugi, Tristan, Joey and I, go with you and Marik I would love to see some hieroglyphs," said Tea.
Alec shrugged, "I don't mind, but Marik and I need to have a little chat first, "Come on Cutie we need to talk." Alec pulled Marik away from the others, and headed behind one of the tents.
Alec started laughing when they were out of hearing range. "I think my plan of making Seto jealous is actually working," she said. Marik let out a sigh, "Do I have to kiss you in front of them?" he asked worried.
Alec made a disgusted face, "No, I just wanted to see what Seto's reaction would be if he thought you and I were together. Think about it my sister is marrying your step brother, Odeon in less then a few days, I will tell them the truth about it tomorrow before Sara is on my case about choosing you or Seto, ha, ha, ha, this is too fun."
Marik agreed to do this for Alec because he lost a duel to her before she left to talk with Seto about her letter. "I never thought you could be so low Alec," said a voice from the other side of the tent, Sara and Isis stepped out into view.
Alec was bright red, and taking a huge gulp, "Alexandra K. Pegasus, how could you think about fooling all of us," snapped Isis. "What you were in on it to Isis Ishtar," snapped Alec.
Sara was angrier with her sister now then before. "Alec, I can't believe you would do this to Kaiba, what did, he, ever do to you?" she snapped. Alec raised an eyebrow, "You want to know what he did to me he made me kiss him, four years ago when I was hiding out at his mansion, that is why I am pulling this, and revenge is so sweet," she said.
Sara did not know about the deal she made with Seto after the duel she only knew Alec did not win her blue eyes back. Alec explained that she still had feeling for Seto and she wanted to find of he felt the same way. Alec told her sister and future sister in law that Marik, agreed to do this.
Alec wanted to expose Kaiba's hidden feelings that were buried under the ego, duel monsters, or even his brother, no matter how Seto was hiding it, Alec was going to find it. Sara and Isis left knowing that Alec was right, in a slight way but it would be better if Alec just asked for their advice on it.
Marik and Alec followed minutes later, Alec had messed up Marik's hair, Sara shook her head and Isis put her hand over her eyes, Odeon who been in on this the whole time smirked at his little stepbrother.
An hour later, Marik, Alec, Yugi, Tea, Joey, Mokuba and Tristan, were all off to the caverns, which were a few miles away. Seto stayed with Sara, Odeon, and Isis. Sara and Seto did the dishes, while Odeon and Isis went to work on the decorations.
"Seto, you know my sister has been playing a joke on you with Marik," said Sara. Seto almost dropped a dish, "What!" he snapped. Sara nodded, "Yeah, you see before she left, Marik lost a duel to her and well, the deal was that who ever lost was to do what ever the other said, Alec won so she told him to act as her boyfriend till after my wedding."
Seto looked out towards the direction that the gang headed, "So Alec and Marik aren't together, and I throw a fit this morning for nothing?" Seto groaned as he realized that he just been tricked.
Sara nodded, "Yep, don't worry the minute they get back Alec and him are going to stage a fight except, you might want to get in on this," she said. Seto was now sitting down, "Why?" he asked confused of why Alec would pull this on him.
"Alec told Marik to kind of swing at her, just to see if you would do something about it, Alec is testing you Seto that and she getting you back for that kiss four years ago. I've seen it before, she did it to every guy, I have seen her with," said Sara.
"If I don't get involved with tonight's little fight, well Alec…," Seto started. Sara turned towards him, "Seto, she will want you to get involved, she wants to bring back the love she knew you had for her," she interrupted.
Seto had a slight hint of nervousness in his face, "Look Seto ever since you sent her to be with me and Max, she been thinking about you day and night. I think it time you knew that, and she never wanted to leave you. She loves you and in a way she thinks you do the same just that you been hiding it all these years. I mean after Mokuba was kidnapped by my Uncle Pegasus, you two never really got along other then the jet flight here," Sara pointed out.
Seto nodded in agreement with Sara statement. "Sara, I do love and hate her in away, but I care at least isn't that good enough for her?" Seto asked Sara, she shook her head no.
"Seto, the thing is get into that fight tonight, protect Alec and she will think you love her, don't she will then think three things, either A) you been tipped off by me, B) you still don't care, C) you do care just don't want to give it away," Sara pointed out. Odeon and Isis were overhearing, Sara comments as they walked up. "So, we're talking about Alec, I see," said Isis with a slight grin on her tan Egyptian face.
Odeon didn't say a word, Isis did say a few however, "I think even though she is my future sister in law, I think she doesn't even really know what love is, or does she Seto?" she spoke.
Seto stood up and began to walk away, "Sara, does she really love me?" Seto asked, "Because if she does then why, do this, she wants me to say it, why not her?" he spoke confused something he had not done in a long time.
Sara moved in her seat, "You know Alec, she never really does say things first, and that is how Gosaburo started beating her," she confessed.
Seto turned; "I thought it was because of my technology and that I beat him in chess game?" he spoke worried.
Sara shook her head, "NO, Seto it was because she told him that she loved you and wasn't going to take the data from you anymore and the fact about Noah as well but still I think my point has been made," she said. Seto was in shock, he was thinking wrong all these past nine years.
"You mean she was willing to put up her life to make sure that I got my dream of taking over Gosaburo's company and becoming World Champion of Duel Monsters, she did that for me, HA, don't make me laugh Sara," Seto fake laughed.
Sara's face went as red as an apple, "Seto I am not joking, she loves you but was beaten down for it, there is something else she did not tell you. I wished she did, but I am going to say it, she was there when Pegasus kidnapped Mokuba. She threw herself in the room the minutes she realized what she did to him, and Pegasus put her in a soul card, Seto, much like the one that he put both of you in later on," snapped Sara.
"I got Mokuba the extra blankets to get him out of the tower and I was about to be put in a soul card when, you showed up in the dungeon to get Mokuba out. I escaped with Alec's card and was able to restore her with another Millennium item a few days later. The Millennium Rod; Marik is the one that saved Alec three years ago, not you or Yugi, but Marik," Sara continued her rant.
"She and I had to be rare hunters to insure Alec's safety. Seto, she would have gone after you when she was in battle city, but she didn't want to fight you, she saw that you had a bigger destiny at the time, which was to help Yugi beat Marik," Sara wasn't finished.
Seto turned to face Sara, "What would you know about my destiny?" he yelled. Sara stood up, "Why, don't I show you," she said. They all went to one of the near by tents to wait for the others to return.
Meanwhile at the cave, Alec and Marik brought everyone in on the joke pulled on Seto. "So let me get this straight you and Marik are not dating," said a confused Joey.
"Yes Joey, Marik and I are about to become in laws, yeah right like we really want to have another wedding after my sister's no way," said Alec. "That a harsh joke Alec, I know Kaiba really cares about you, but why all this, why don't you just tell him?" said Yugi as Tea was about to say it but Yugi beat her too it.
"The reason is simple, Yugi, like you I have a millennium item and it shows me the future but in a different way, not like the necklace which show things when need to, mine show when ever it wants too. I have seen Seto telling me that he loves me and he is going to do it tonight. My item tells me when it going to happen although something I have gotten haven't happened, yet, but they will," she said sadly.
Marik walked away to find a chamber, "I keep the item down here, Yugi, that is why I didn't object to all of you coming, you guys are going to love this," said Alec.
"Shouldn't you keep the item near by?" asked Tristan puzzled. "Yes, but the reason I keep it here is because only a specific people, can open the door," said Alec. "I found it Alec, over here," said Marik from a distance away.
The group came to a large stone door, with hieroglyphic inscription Marik read and translated them for everyone. "Behind this door lies a power which only the blood line of the Pharaoh can control and only that of the Pharaoh. Beware those who touch the jewel of the king for it will bring death to those whom greed is to much to control."
Alec gave a laugh, "Marik are you kidding? The text doesn't say that, you forget Ancient Egyptian is my third language," she snapped at him. Marik laughed, "Darn it Alec, can't pull that one by you anymore can I, but the others would have never knew that's if, you didn't say anything."
Joey's face relaxed he really believed Marik, the same went for Tristan and Mokuba; however, Yugi could read the text because Yami read it to him in his mind. Tea did not believe, what Marik had said, and Alec, well we already know because she could read.
Alec read and translated correctly; "Only the true line of the Pharaoh can enter here, all who aren't shall not pass, but those entrusted with the Pharaoh may enter, so speak the name of him and these doors will open," Alec finished reading. "You haven't forgotten Alec have you?" asked Marik.
Alec thought for a moment, "No I just biting my time," she said. Marik gave Alec a glare, "OK, Ok the name is Pharaoh Acnomoina," she yelled. (Note: I made up the name)
The door did not move, Alec thought for a second, "I completely forgot," everyone laughed aloud, Alec walked up to the door there were two hand prints in the door, and she said the name again, "ACNOMOINA," she then pushing the door.
The door opened, inside was a chamber, with complete darkness, Marik and Alec looked at each other, "It still works," said Marik and went inside. Alec grabbed the torch off it holder and pulled out a lighter, "Marik don't go too far I am turning on the lights.
Alec lit the lighter and put it on the torch, it gave the chamber a little light and then Alec moved it to the ground; Marik was barely see able in the light by the torch. The torch touched some liquid that was running on the ground it went to flames immediately.
The chamber was full of light all of a sudden; the fire ran across the ground in streams that ran along the path. "Welcome to The Pharaoh's hidden temple, well actually hidden sanctuary is more like it," said Marik.
Alec let out a laugh, "That not what you used to call this place, remember those days when you used to lived here as leader of the rare hunters," Alec reminded him.
Marik glared, "Don't remind me of those days, I am a lot better thanks to Yugi, and I don't want to take over the world now, plus I haven't been down here since you stop being a hunter, your self," he said. Yugi, Tea, Joey, Mokuba, and Tristan's jaws all dropped open.
Alec laughed, "What didn't you think that the niece of the man who reinvented duel monsters for this century didn't have anything to do with the rear hunters, Sara and I were the ones who started it, and then Marik took over after Pegasus had me in a soul card, for a little while," she said.
Mokuba mouth dropped again, "You were in a soul card by Pegasus?" he asked. Alec nodded, "Yeah, it was just after I sent Kimo on you when you were spying on Max and the big five's meeting. I went in to protest, that what Max did or was going to do to you and your brother was not part of my plan, one of the many that backfired that day. Max and I made up again after he got sick from his millennium eye been take away, of course to get me out of the soul card Sara had to steal Slyfer the sky dragon card for Marik. He then brought me back from the shadow realm that Pegasus trapped me in," she said.
Marik wasn't proud of his actions as leader of the rare hunters, ever since Battle City they disbanded, Alec had to live with her guilt, for she also sent some people to the shadow realm and wasn't too proud of it.
"The item I need to look at is this way, in the temple in front of us," said Alec. The others were so busy listening to Alec that they did not see it when the lights came on.
The temple was a pyramid shape with statues of men with head of animals, mostly dogs, but one statue stood out among the rest a blue eyes white dragon stood at the top of the temple.
Yugi, Mokuba, Tea, Tristan and Joey were all amazed at the site. Marik and Alec opened the door to the pyramid shaped temple, and let all of the gang inside.
A great hall was ahead of them in the center of the room was a sword with it edge in a stone and the hilt sticking up.
Alec walked over to it, "This is the Millennium Sword a scared item among all the items. Alec moved her hand towards it but a voice rang out, "Kisara!"
Alec stopped she looked around; a figure appeared on the other side of the room. Alec looked at the woman she appeared to look like Sara, long silky black hair dressed in a black robe with a tiara of a millennium eye on her brow.
"Kisara, what are you doing back here, I thought that I told you leave until you found Seth," the woman demanded. Alec looked at the woman, "I have found him, but I haven' t been able to make him admit the truth, you see," she said pausing and scratched her head, "he is kind of a pig headed, egotistic, guy who just can't say three little words to me."
Yugi, Tea, Tristan, Mokuba, and Joey had no idea what was going on, why was this woman calling Alec, by the name of Kisara.
"Lady Saran, Alec has done all she could to get him to admit the truth the problem is he doesn't believe in the Egyptian past, he was once was part of it, how ever I did bring you the Pharaoh of the millennium puzzle," Marik spoke quickly.
Yugi held his ground he was not about to let Yami, show himself, but was this a trap set up by Marik and Alec, or a miss understanding?
The woman moved more into the light, she resembled Sara very closely, as she looked at everyone, "I can see you did bring him to me, but why did you bring his former body guards and wife, Tarik (Tristan-warrior), Jabari (Joey-Brave), and Thema (Tea-Queen). Tea looked at Yugi, she must have been the pharaoh's wife that means she was the queen, as for Joey and Tristan they looked at each other with blank looks, and they did not think they were really part of the past.
"They are his friends now, in this time," spoke Alec. "Kisara, I wasn't specking to you, I was talking to Ishtar," the woman snapped. Alec closed her mouth and waited quietly, as the woman walked around the four friends Alec and Marik were by the sword.
"Alec, what is she doing?" Tea asked, wondering why the woman was even present. "Kisara you may answer now," said the woman with an evil smirk.
"She is feeling you guys out, to see if your real or imposters, you can't use the sword without real people present, don't worry she won't hurt any of you. Yugi, you might want to stop holding, Yami back she going to look at him too and she could kill you if you do not, let her look at him.
Yugi changed into Yami Yugi, "You can see me, now is that better," he spoke. The woman fell to her knees and bowed to the Yami Yugi.
"I wasn't expecting it to be true but you have returned, Ishtar you are free from your duties I take it," said the woman.
Marik nodded, "it has been two years since that accorded, but Seth is the one who does still not believe in his past just his future." Alec nodded in agreement. "That is Kisara's job and I am not letting her off the hook, so easily as you Ishtar," said the woman now approaching the sword.
Alec moved out of the way, "Lady Saran, what else must I do, to let you free me from Alec's body? Please I will do anything to be with Mage Seth back again." Yugi and the others and Marik looked at Alec her hair had grown white and her eyes as blue as sapphire jewels.
"You'll fulfill your duties, which is to get Mage Seth of this time to admit that he still loves you, aloud and you must hear it while looking into his eyes. Ishtar since Atem has let you be free from you duties as tomb keeper then I grant you your freedom as well along with your stepbrother Odeon, and your older sister Isis," she said to Marik.
Saran turned back to Alec, "Kisara you must still get Seto to say that he loves you without showing him your powers, do I make myself clear and this time don't let yourself get carried away; I saw in your mind what you have been doing to wash me out," spoke Saran.
Alec/Kisara nodded, "We won't let you down my Lady, Yugi you can go back to yourself again she is leaving, Saran can I please let Alec and the other see the glimpse of tonight?" asked Kisara.
The Lady Saran turned, "The future you once saw has changed, don't act out your fight with Marik for Seto knows of how you plan to deceive him, your sister has betrayed you again Kisara," the woman then disappeared. Alec lost her blue sapphire eyes and returned to the sky blue eyes she usually had, and her hair, went back to the blue and white highlights.
"Great, Sara, has done it again," said Alec as the exited the cavern. "That is the second time, now, she done that to me, and the first time she was trying to have me killed," complained Alec.
Sara was waiting with her hand across her chest, "So how did the meeting go with Saran, I bet she wasn't too happy, with you Alec," laughed her sister.
Alec glared at her sister, "You should know considering it is your item that allows you to be in two places at once, oh dear Sister, nice job on ratting yourself out," snapped Alec.
Sara sighed, "You should know by now Alec, I am two people like you, Yugi, and once Marik," she said. Alec nodded her head in a "yeah, yeah," gesture, "Done telling me what to do, sis, or should I say Saran," mocked Alec in an angry tone. Sara grinned, turned, and walked away, Yugi turned to Alec, "What is Sara's Item?"
"Sara's item is the millennium shield, like the duel monsters card it can only defend. Saran is the protector of the after realm, you're not dead nor alive it is like a living hell, at least that is what Kisara is going through, she doesn't want to be here anymore, living the nightmare of losing Mage Seth, to the shadow games, like I lost Kaiba to Duel monsters," said Alec.
Yugi and the others got it; Alec was holding Kisara because of what she did to save Set from destroying his friend, the Pharaoh Atem, but why Alec had to hold Kisara, did not make since to Yugi.
"It may have been a long time ago, but Kisara has been waiting for Set to return or to find someone in his bloodline, Mokuba, you and your brother are in that line, but there is a problem. Kisara has to find the member of you family that has two things that any others does not have," Alec explained, "Your brother has Seth's soul is trapped like Kisara, but the difference is he is not aware of it, the second thing is that he has an abstention about Duel monsters or modern day shadow games."
It made since to Mokuba why he would not be the one to free Kisara, he did not have one of the key elements, and he looked nothing like Mage Seth.
Alec and the others returned to camp, Seto was not in site; Odeon was sitting at the table with Isis and Sara. "Where's my brother?" asked Mokuba. Sara answered, "Blowing off some steam, he is mad at Alec again, but this time it is my fault I gave him a little inside to her past."
Alec went burning red, "Sara can I yell at you for a few minutes away from your fiancée, I don't want to embarrass you in front of him, or Isis." Sara got up and walked over to where Seto and the other went earlier that day, "Ok sis let me hear it," said her sister once they were at the tent.
Alec began to speak but she did not yell, "I can't believe your making this harder for me, come on I want Kisara to be happy, but I also want to be normal again," complained Alec.
Sara shook her head, "Alec, I may be your older adopted sister but you have never been normal, could you have forgotten what you have learned over the last four years."
Alec glared at her sister, "Sara don't remind me about that I have not even told Seto about that, he still thinks you and I have the same Dad, which is the link to Gosaburo, which in a way I am glad I am not blood related to you. Why Sara, are you making it harder for me, this is not going to make me sleep any better, I do not want to drink anymore. OK, I hate having to drown out Kisara screams for Seth when I am asleep, by drinking, and having hangovers. I can't tell him about Kisara, or even show him; I have blue eyes white dragon in my head that I can call out, but chances that it could almost kill me again."
Sara put her hand on her head and shook it, "Alec, I am not making it harder for you trust me, Seto will admit something to you tonight it may help it may not we will have to see. As for the Blue Eyes thing, you keep that dragon in check I don't want to see you in another week long coma, I seen you do that one other time and you almost died, from the black out and stabbing," she said. Sara was referring to the day Gosaburo had stabbed Alec, the thing was, and Seto was not the only thing that saved Alec, that night but something else.
Alec had blacked out from a hit in the back of the head, before Seto rushed in Kisara who was in Alec's head, brought a little Blue Eyes white dragon out and attacked Gosaburo; he in turn tried to kill Alec, Seto did not see it when he came to the rescue.
Alec glared at her sister again, "Sara, don't remind me of that night, and I still have the scars from the surgery on my side and it still hurts at times," snapped Alec.
"Just stating a fact, anyways, you seen the future since then because he attacked you, you know things before they happen if you concentrate. You stopped the one future that scared you the most, you throwing yourself off a cliff into lava and telling Seto that you love him just before you do it," said Sara.
"Sara, I haven't stopped that one, just postponed it, I was suppose to take that jump two years ago, doesn't mean it won't happen I was lucky that Kisara told me to call Kimo to nab Mokuba when I saw him battling, Yugi in Duelist Kingdom, Seto still hasn't forgiven me for that," spoke Alec in a regretful voice.
Alec looked down towards the ground, and continued to talk, "Sara I love him but I can't tell him, unless he says it first, but he also has to admit that he is Mage Seth before Kisara can be freed, he doesn't believe that the past happened so how can I get him to admit that?"
Sara nodded her head at the predicament, "I see your point Alec, but listen to your older step sister here. I love you and don't worry sometime between when I get married and before within the next 24 hours, Seto will have admitted he cares, don't believe me then I will let you show him the past with Kisara and Mage Seth soon you just need a few things, ok, don't lose hope."
Alec looked at her sister, "Sara, even though you told me that I am not your biological sister four years ago, I am glad you still look out for me, but that bring up another issue," she snapped.
Sara saw this coming, "NO you can't tell your real brother that you're his sister just yet, he has to find out himself," she snapped quickly.
Alec let out a breath, "Ok, Red Eyes, you got it," she spoke in a sarcastic tone. The two sisters embraced, and then walked back over to the table were everyone, except Seto was waiting for them.
Meanwhile a figure moved within the tent that Alec and Sara had their conversation near, and heard every word, "Alec isn't related to Gosaburo, this is good and bad news," he thought.
That night Alec and Marik did not do the fight as they planed Alec felt it will not help, Alec went to bed with a wine bottle in hand, and Seto entered the tent that night after being gone all day.
He saw Alec was past out with the wine bottle completely emptied, and she was snoring, Seto took the wine bottle out of her hand and put it on the floor. He looked at Alec who looked as if she had a peaceful look on her face, he bent down and kissed her on the forehead, she moaned a little did a little turn but didn't wake up.
He lie in his cot and soon fell asleep, with a thought running through his head, there was a reason Sara took him to the tent and made him stay there till everyone went to sleep; he now knew why, he heard Sara, and Alec talking.
He was glad in away that Sara and Alec were not related but in others, he was not, for he now had no excuse for not say the words to Alec's face, except one. The fact that Alec needed to tell him the truth about how she really felt and whom she really was.
HA HA, Alec isn't realated to Gosaburo, nice twist don't you think? Well guess who she is realated too, and you will never truely guess it all I am going to say it is one of the Yugioh Cast members. Next chapter will say it all.
