Darkstar71: Thanks for the review and the reason Kaiba didn't push Alec more into letting Tea on having the baby for them, but then again in this chapter maybe you will see why. Oh and for the adoption, Alec and Seto don't want a repeat of what happened with Gosaburo, you know the whole take over of Kaiba Corp, and so on.
Real quickly, thanks to all my reviewers you all rock, now just to let all of you in on a little secret that you are about to read, this chapter has a lot of stuff in it, that will come up again later so keep an eye out.
Chapter 4
Egyptian Return
Sara seated at a table with Odeon and Melissa; Alec, Seto, Mokuba, and Yamu entered the diner. "Alec, Seto over here," yelled Sara. Alec saw her sister, and ran to give her a huge, "Hi sis, sorry about leaving you to Max yesterday," said Alec hugging her sister.
Sara rolled her eyes, "It's ok, I know you and Seto were working on a much larger project," smiled Sara. Mokuba gave a small glare at his brother then looked at Yamu who gave a quiet laugh.
Alec pulled her sister back, "Sara please! Not in front of Mokuba and his girlfriend," said Alec trying not to move her mouth too much sounding like, she wanted it to be a secret that she and Seto were trying to have kids. Sara laughed, "Don't worry your secret are safe with me dear sister."
That did not help the situation, at all Alec was about to kick her sister when a little two year old walked up, "Are thou my Aunt?" the girl asked. Alec squad down, "yes I am, and you must be Melissa," she said to the girl.
The little two years old nodded her head; Alec picked her up in her arms. "Hey mo, I tale as u," said Melissa in her baby voice, once Alec was standing up holding Melissa.
Sara laughed and looked back at Odeon who was smiling at her; he released Melissa to stop the fighting between the stepsisters before it even started.
Alec handed Melissa, to Odeon, "Daddy," said Melissa with excitement. Everyone laughed and took a seat in the booth, "So," said Alec, once everyone done ordering, "What brings the three of you all the way from Egypt?"
Sara glared, "What I have to be here on business to visit members of my family?" she snapped at her sister.
Alec knew her sister better, "Sara!" Sara moved her head around, "OK, I thought you would like to see your niece since you didn't get to see her four months ago, when I came here to take care of you while you recovered."
Alec knew her sister better then this but she figure why push her sister, eventually the true would come out. "Ok, what ever, Sara," said Alec sighing in her seat.
Sara was surprised at how quickly Alec gave up on the questions; Seto had Alec's hand under the table out of view of the others he was squeezing it, to tell her to stop fighting with Sara and that she was just doing her job as an older sister even if they were not blood related.
Alec looked at her brother in law and little niece as the played patty cake; she laughed, at the site quietly, but kept it mostly in her mind. Mokuba and Yamu were busy talking about school, as Alec was watching Odeon and Melissa play, Seto and Sara were looking at Alec worried.
Alec's eyes said it all she wished that she did not go home early, and missed the accident that took all she wanted away. Melissa would have a friend to play with besides her father right now, except she did not have one.
Seto took Alec hand and gave it a little squeeze again to bring her out of the trance. Alec looked at Seto when he did it, she gave two squeezes to tell him thank you; the hand squeezes, was a code they had made back when they were younger, and Alec did not have the strength to talk.
Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Tea, and Serenity walked into the diner a few moments later. "Hey Odeon long time no see," said Joey. Odeon waved and went back to another round of patty cake with Melissa. "Hey Kaiba, Sara, Mokuba, Alec, and Yamu," said Joey.
They all said hi back except, Alec who was once again mesmerized by Odeon and Melissa. Joey and everyone else noticed now except, Odeon and Melissa for they were to busy with patty cake.
Yugi touched Alec's shoulder causing her to break the trance, "Hey, you ok," he asked in a quiet voice to his older sister.
Alec shook her head, "yeah, Yugi I am fine, just a little dizzy you know long night." Sara raised her eyebrows, and gave a glare to Seto who returned it equally.
"I think I just need to use the rest room excuse me everyone," said Alec; Tea, Serenity and Sara followed.
Alec went to the bathroom and into one of the stalls, where she locked the door and began quietly crying.
Tea, Sara and Serenity came in soon after, "Alec you ok?" asked Tea. Alec stopped crying for a moment hearing Tea's voice, "Yeah Tea, I fine," then in a quiet voice, "just peachy."
Sara was standing by the stall, "I heard that, Alec come out here, I know you crying," she said.
Alec unlocked the door with marks of tears lines wiped from her face, Sara saw the lines, "I know sis I know," she said taking her sister into her arms.
Tea and Serenity patted Alec on the back as she cried into Sara's shirt. "It's not fair Sara, I can't even look at Odeon and not see Seto, playing patty cake and all that," she said.
Sara pulled her sister away, "Come on now, your stronger then this, look in the mirror," she said, as she spun Alec to face the mirror, "You are a Kaiba, and Kaiba women, don't cry over fathers playing with his daughters," she said. Alec went to a face of "yeah right, did you forget I am not a blood Kaiba, like you," she barked the last part
Sara then turned Alec to face her, "Look so what, you and Seto are now trying to make another baby right?" she snapped trying to bring her sister back to the current reason of her crying.
Alec gave a half nod and paused, "Yeah so, why would you care, You show up 6 months after my accident with your daughter and expect me to just act like were one big family, sorry Sara not happening, and Yes Seto and I are trying to have a kid."
Sara went a half-angry, yet impressed face she ignored the outburst "Alec you know what you're risking if you get pregnant again, you could die giving birth you could have another miscarriage, do you really want to risk that?" Sara asked.
Alec nodded her head, "Sara I am willing to risk it as you said just a few minutes ago, Kaiba women are tough and don't cry over this stuff, this is my baby and Seto and I are going to have one even if it kills me," she snapped.
Sara raised her eyebrows, she was surprise Alec, was now this obsessed with having a baby. "Are you really willing to risk it, because from what I can tell you're having second thoughts," said Sara.
Tea had heard enough, "Sara, can you leave and let me talk to Alec, she isn't going to listen to you; right now because it is your daughter she is jealous of," she pointed out.
Sara looked at Alec, who was nodding, "Ok I going to give you three some chat time, I am going back out to talk with my husband and everyone else," said Sara; she then left while Tea and Serenity cleaned up Alec's face.
"You want to talk now that your sister is out of the room?" asked Tea handing Alec a Kleenex.
Alec nodded, "Yeah the little lucky puck, she had more stuff happen to her abdomen then I ever did why, should she have the kid? While I put my life on the line, every time I have sex with my husband?" Alec ranted.
Tea saw that one coming "I guess you hold more of an opinion then I thought," she said. Alec looked at Tea, "You love my brother, right?" she asked, Tea nodded yes.
"Well one of the rewards to marrying some one is that you have children, and with me and Seto that will never happen because I could die, or I not make the full term," said Alec dropped her head, "It just isn't fair Tea."
Tea hugged Alec, "Hey, look at me, Seto asked me about being the birth mom of your kid, I told him I think about, but I am leaving it up to you."
Alec lifted her head and looked at Tea, "Yeah he told me the other day, but are you really willing to be the birth mother for our child?" asked Alec slowly.
Tea nodded, "Of course Alec, you're my friend and I rather go through all that so you could be able to enjoy the life of you son or daughter," she said.
Serenity then stepped forward, "I would help out to Alec and maybe you can get Sara to help, I mean there is no point in just risking you life just so you can have a moment of happiness only to die moments later from it or visa versa with the baby."
Alec never really thought about Serenity, Sara, or Tea like this before, they were all friends to her, but this was beyond any of them, Alec had pride to hold on to and that pride was to have her own child. Alec thought for a moment she had learned her husband's stubbornness and once her mind was made up, it stuck.
Tea and the others did not understand Alec, wanted them to know; she wanted to be the birth mother, but since that could not happen with her dying or losing the baby. Alec rethought about being a mom; it was not so bad, she was adopted why not, why didn't she think of adoption, then it hit here, Seto was adopted he wanted his own son or daughter no kids from an orphanage to take over as he did.
"I will have to think about it, in the mean time I think I better get out there before the food gets cold," said Alec. Tea and Serenity hugged Alec, "look we're here for you Alec, don't need to do this alone. So what if you child comes from another's womb, it still your baby remember that," said Serenity.
Alec and the girls left the bathroom; Alec sat next to Seto and tried to avoid the trance of Odeon turning into Seto and Melissa being their child instead. Alec saw her niece play with her father for once maybe it would work out some day.
After lunch, Mokuba and Yamu ran off to the arcade as soon as their plates were empty. Alec watched Odeon and Melissa, after a few rounds Melissa went over to Alec, "Com on Ally," she said with a smile showing some teeth not fully in yet. Alec and Melissa played row sham bow, (rock paper, and scissor) Alec and her niece were having fun, Sara seem to notice along with everyone else that Alec was actually smiling sometimes, something, that most of them except Seto had seen her do in the last few days.
Seto and Alec walked Sara, Odeon, and Melissa to the limo that was waiting to take them to the airport. "Hey sis, I will see you soon ok," said Sara hugging her sister. Alec hugged her back, "I will see you in a few days," she said.
Sara, Odeon and Melissa got into the limo, and it drove off to the airport; Alec got bad feeling in her stomach, of course every time since the accident she had been getting bad feelings about limos and cars.
Seto and Alec walked up the street, when Yugi and the gang came running after them "Alec, Kaiba wait up for us!" yelled Yugi. Alec turned and looked at her little brother, and pulled Seto back to have him wait up for the so call "Geek squad," as Seto had not called them that since he found out Alec were Yugi's sister.
"Where are you two headed?" Yugi asked, "We are headed over to the park right now, to play some basketball want to come?"
Seto shook his head, "No Yugi, I have worked to do and so does Alec, were busy today, sorry," he said sounding a little nice.
Yugi went to a frown face, but he then realized what Seto meant by "work", "Oh I see," he said winking at his sister, who only smiled back and turned red as a tomato.
Yugi ran off to tell the other that Alec and Seto were not going to be joining them for a game in the park. Alec moved her long blue and white hair from her eyes as the wind blew, the fact that Seto and her didn't have any work to do, they did it all day yesterday and today, they just wanted to enjoy each other's company and enjoy their alone time.
Alec and Seto walked to the pier where they would watch the boats going in and out of port. The wind was blowing from the west. Alec looked great in Seto opinion, he just wished there was some way to make her a mother with out killing her in the end or losing another baby.
"Alec, Sara was talking to me at lunch while you were in the bathroom with Tea and Serenity," he said. Alec looked up at Seto as they walked, "She said you were sobbing again because of Melissa, I want to know if it was true?" Alec stopped walking, "Seto I have decided about something," she decided now was as good as any.
Seto looked at Alec as she spoke, "I want to be the birth mother even at the risk of death, and I don't care anymore. I want to be a mother, and if I have to die, then so be it," snapped Alec. Seto took Alec in his arms, "You don't want to that, do you?" he said sounding concerned.
"Seto I have made up my mind, no way am I going to die, I will fight with all my strength but when it comes down to child birth, Seto I want to have a baby. I don't want to have some one else give birth that is something mine and yours, I know it is risky, but then what is life if we don't risk something in the end," spoke Alec.
Seto's heart starting beating fast, he didn't want Alec to be saying this but she was, "Seto Kaiba, would you help me or are you just going to pull away from me and say that you won't let me be the mother of your child?" asked Alec.
Seto did not know what to say he did not expect Alec to come to this decision so soon.
"Alec I don't…" but Alec put her hand on his mouth, "Don't say because you don't want to lose me, because Seto you will never lose me, once and we found each other again, I am going to make sure we stay," spoke Alec removing her hand from his mouth.
Seto kissed Alec as soon as he had a clear shot of her mouth. Alec could not help but take it, he was dodging the subject with this kiss as a diversion, one that he had pulled many times before in there marriage; Alec could not help but give in to it.
Seto let Alec go, "If you really want this then I will be the father of you child Alec, and nobody can't say different," as tear weld up in Seto's eye. A tear ran down Alec face seeing the tears form in Seto's eyes, "Thank Seto," she said softly. Alec hugged Seto hard continuing to say thank you to him.
Seto held her for while, he knew in his heart the result would be her dead but in the end, he would have a child to call his own, just with out a mother, something he was now praying for would never happen which was to lose Alec forever.
A tears ran down his face, when Alec pulled back to look at him. "I am not going to lose you, I won't let you die, there are ways to keep you from dying and we will find a way for you to have a baby and live," he said with tears running down his face. Alec reached up and brushed Seto's tears off his face, "Don't you start crying now, you haven't cried since I was stabbed don't start now."
The two then embraced again, Alec was feeling Seto worry, "You won't lose me, never in 5000 years you, will never lose me," she said.
Seto tried as he could to believe that, but he knew in the end it would come down to him deciding, Alec or his child a decision he knew, and once Alec was pregnant there was no turning back.
Seto and Alec began to walk for while when they heard Mokuba call for them, with Yamu running to catch them. "Seto, Alec, wait up for us!" Mokuba yelled.
Alec and Seto stopped; Yamu and Mokuba caught their breath, and began walking with Alec and Seto.
The two couples watch the sunset, as the fall of night covered the sky; Seto gave Alec a passionate kiss as if it would be his last to her he was going to make every moment for then on count. Alec could tell Seto did not like the decision she made, but he was willing to stand behind her on it then, 'so be it' he thought.
Mokuba looked at his sister in law and his older brother he then turned to Yamu, who was watching with interest. "Your brother is so in love with Alec," she said to Mokuba. Mokuba turned to face Yamu, "Yeah he is, and who would have thought, my brother goes from cold hearted guy to one that loves his wife," he said.
Yamu touched Mokuba's face, "You know Moky in a way I feel that I…" she stopped feeling a little embarrassed; the words just would not come out of her mouth. Mokuba finished her sentence, "I love you, Yamu," he said giving her a kiss.
When he moved away, Yamu looked into Mokuba's eye, "You do?" He nodded at her, "Yeah I really do, you the only person I feel this way about," Mokuba admitted. Yamu took Mokuba face in her hands and planted a big kiss on his lips. "I love you, Mokuba Kaiba," she whispered in to his ear.
Mokuba heard the sound of clapping coming from the direction of Seto and Alec. He looked at them, and went completely red at the site of Alec and Seto applauding him.
Yamu laughed, "You two weren't supposed to be watching," she said. Alec and Seto laughed, "I guess this is pay back for about six months ago, Moky," said Alec. Yamu laughed again, Mokuba wanted to run from the embarrassment of his sister and brother.
Alec, Seto, Yamu and Mokuba walked back to Domino and stopped at Yamu's house, "I guess this is good night Moky," she said smiling. Mokuba leaned in and kissed Yamu, "good night, Yamu," he said.
Alec frowned when Mokuba walked away with out even saying a word, when he saw Alec's face he turned around. "Yamu!" he yelled up to her.
Yamu came back into view, "Yeah?" she said. Mokuba took a big breath, "I love you Yamu Devilen!" he yelled. Yamu's face went to a large smile, "I love you too, Mokuba Kaiba!" she yelled back.
Yamu's brother Duke stuck his head out the door, "Yamu get you butt inside, it's time for dinner," he snapped.
Yamu blew a kiss to Mokuba and then ran up the stairs, Alec and Seto were laughing. Mokuba ran to his sister in law and older brother, "YES SHE LOVES ME!" he yelled jumping into the air.
Seto could not help but laugh, "Come on lover boy you have homework that needs to be done," he said.
Mokuba ran up the hill towards the mansion, saying it over and over, Alec was surprised at how long it took him to realize what he was saying. "Wait, she loves me and I love her that means I can …"
"Slow down there lover boy your still 17 almost 18 Mokuba," interrupted Seto. The three had dinner and Mokuba ran off for bed with a large happy grin on his face.
That night Seto and Alec once again tried to make another baby, (no details this time ha ah ha aha). Alec was lying on Seto's chest with her arm on his abdomen; Seto had his left arm draped over Alec's bare shoulders both of them wrapped in the white sheets. It was the second most peaceful night that Alec and Seto had together since the accident six months before.
The next morning Alec awoke to just her in bed, Seto was gone. "Seto," she cried worried that he had left in the night. She looked at the clock it was about 6:00am, she figured that he must be in the office, she tossed on her robe and went to check, he was not in the there.
Alec walked around the mansion she finally came to the nursery that they had both completed that was just a few doors down from their room why she didn't look earlier was beyond her. Alec turned the knob, the door it was unlocked, Seto had locked it the day Alec was in the accident and found out she lost the baby.
Alec opened the door, she saw Seto standing at the window with his hands behind his back; he was obviously thinking about something. Alec quietly walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around him. Seto nearly jumped out of his skin but he realized it was Alec.
"Hey," he said. Alec propped her head on his shoulder, "You know something," she said to him, he looked at her, "What?" he asked. Alec smiled, "You're too tall for me," she smirked. Seto gave a halfhearted laugh. "You know what today is right?" Alec nodded on his shoulder, "Today is the day you leave for the tournament," she answered.
Seto turned and faced Alec "I want you to come with me, I know I said that I wanted you to stay, but it just that I know every moment with you now is special to me," he spoke like Alec was dying and in a way she was, at least to him. Seto took Alec's face in both hands, "you understand what I am trying to say?" he asked her.
Alec moved Seto's hands to her side, "Yes I do," she said, moving in to kiss him, "I know the risk as much as you do, you want me to take back my choice," she guessed. Seto thought about it for a moment, "No," he said, looking at how the hope left her eyes that he would reconsider. Pulling Alec into his arms, "No, I wouldn't have you change it even at the risk of losing you," he said. Alec hugged him, "thank you Seto," she said.
The two stood there for a while, holding each other, Mokuba saw this tender moment and slowly went to get a camera, he took a picture of the two in the nursery he figured it would be good to show Seto someday, when he needed to be reminded of Alec. Mokuba waited down stair for his brother and Alec; it was an hour before they finally came down.
The three ate breakfast, Seto went up stairs after he was done, Alec soon followed suit, Mokuba was the last one in the dinning room. When Mokuba came out Seto was dressed in his white trench coat and black outfit. Alec came down wearing her black shirt and blue jeans; it was obvious she was now going with Seto. Alec was fingering some of her cards in her hand.
"I see you're going with him, Alec," said Mokuba from the bottom of the stairs. Alec looked at Mokuba, "Yes Moky, I am, which means you will be traveling with us." Mokuba put on a face of dumbness, "What I have to go, but I have a date with Yamu," Mokuba wined.
Seto laughed, "Yamu will be there too, I talked with Duke this morning, she coming as part of Yugi's cheer squad," he said with a small laugh. Alec gave Seto a glare, she hated it when Seto would poke fun at Yugi and his friends in front of her, and Seto laughed again.
The three walked outside towards Seto's new jet, the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon Jet. It had three heads and it seated up to six people, its bluish tent shined in the light of the morning sun. Alec took her hair and placed it in a braid to keep it from blowing in her face. "Nice," said Joey.
The three turned and saw Yugi, Tristan, Tea, Joey, Duke and Yamu, "So, we are all going on that?" Joey asked. Seto laughed, "Wheeler it will be a cold day in hell before I let you even touch my jet let alone, ride in it, you and the other competitors are riding in my choppers. Yugi, Tea and Yamu are the only ones that get to go with Alec, Mokuba, and my self in the jet," Seto smirked. Yamu ran forward and hugged Mokuba, he in turn hugged her back, Tea, Yugi walked down next to Alec, and Seto, everyone else was on the chopper.
Alec sat with Seto in the middle head of the dragon, Tea and Yugi were on the left, Mokuba, and Yamu on the right. The jet took off, and followed by the slower chopper, 24 hours later they were all in Egypt.
For the start of the Egyptian Return to the Sands Tournament, hosted by Industrial Illusionist and Kaiba Corp. Seto landed the Dragon jet at the same place as which they had all camped at the year and six months before, for Sara's wedding that turned out to be Alec's and Seto's too.
Sara, Odeon and Melissa met the jet as for everyone else they had to walk from a landing point two miles away. It was a test of who wanted shelter more, or who just wanted an easy trip.
Joey, Tristan, and Duke showed up around nightfall along with everyone else. Alec had the newest duel disks set out on a table; she was assigning numbers to them, so that way if any were tampered with it before the tournament no one would know which one belonged to whom.
"Hey Alec anything to eat around here?" asked Joey after his stomach made a loud grumble. "Yes, Joey but you can't eat till you get your duel disk so just be patience, I will have you full of food in a moment," she answered. Joey being impatient started to whining, Alec saw that Joey was placed at the bottom of the list since Seto was the one who made it, she just had Seto pick which disk was his since he was at the top of the list.
"Seto since you name is on top you get your disk is first," said Alec with a smirk on her face. Seto walked over to the table and picked up a disk, Yugi followed, then all the other duelists got one finally Joey was last. Seto smirked when he saw Joey get his disk, Alec gave Seto an evil look, and he then went back to working with his deck trying to get it to 40 cards.
Alec then picked up a duel disk the last one on the table, Seto eyes widen, as Alec sat next to him, "You competing too?" he asked. Alec nodded, "Yeah why not, I am as good as you," she smirked.
Seto laughed, "I am not protecting you tomorrow remember that," he spoke in a half-worried tone. Alec laughed at him, "Seto we're in groups remember and from what I see on this list of who is on your team; which is me, you, Yugi, Joey, and Duke." Seto was flabbergasted, "Are you kidding me, who made that list?" he demanded. Alec pointed over to Mokuba and Yamu, who smiled and waved from there spot around the campfire.
"Great I have the geeks and my enemies on my team how am I going to battle Yugi if he is on my team?" complained Seto throwing his hands over his eyes. Alec laughed, "You won't fight him unless your team makes it to the semi finals, so word of warning, Honey. I would use a different technique each match," warned Alec.
She then got up to brake Mokuba and Yamu's lip lock on each other over by the tables, Duke was about to make a move be since it was Seto's brother and Alec already on the move, he figured that it wouldn't hurt to see her breaking them up.
That night everyone was in tents, Alec and Seto went for a walk, towards the hills, they went to the spot where they first time confessed each other's love for one another about a year and a half ago. This time they made, sure they were out of site of everyone, by hiding behind a few rocks. They sat there for a few moments looking at the stars enjoying each other's company for it was limited any day now.
Alec heard a voice, "Mother, Help me!" Alec looked around she was in the desert alone. A little girl, was standing by herself, with little tan dress on, "Mother please don't leave me here, Mother," said the girl in tears. Alec saw that there was a woman on a horse she looked like royalty, "You are not my daughter, take her away," said the woman.
"Mom please tells them, who I am, Mom please!" the girl cried as the guards approached her. Alec tried to get to the girl but she could not move it was as if she was watching through a piece of glass. The guards threw the girl on to a sand dune, and got back on their horses.
The woman rode away on her horse leaving the girl alone. The girl look in Alec's direction, "I know you," the girl said, "You look like me yet your hair is bluer colored." Alec looked at the girl she resembled a lot of Alec's features, the eyes are what gave her away.
Those two big sapphire eyes, "Kisara," Alec said. "You know my real name?" the girl asked. "Yeah I am you, at least in the future about 5000 years," Alec told the girl, whom then smiled "you shouldn't be here at least not yet," Alec felt herself being pulled back, "No wait, not now." Alec awoke to Seto shaking her, "Alec wake up your having a bad dream wake up," he said worried.
Alec's eyes opened, she grabbed Seto's arm like a child and pulled him close. "Alec calm down it was only a dream you fell asleep," he said. Alec looked around, she knew this spot it was the same as in the dream.
"Seto, I think I just jumped to the past," said Alec. Seto looked at her, "Alec what are you talking about, we buried the past under us almost 2 years ago." Alec was in almost panic state, "Seto I just feel like something is horribly wrong here, we need to get back to camp, NOW," she said worried.
The ground began to rumble under them, Seto felt it too, wide spread panic was at the camp below. Seto and Alec ran to see all the commotion.
Monsters real ones were running through the camp, Mokuba and Yamu were with Yugi, Tea, Tristan, and Joey. The group was huddled together calling for Seto and Alec trying to find them. Alec and Seto ran into view, "Yugi, guys over here," yelled Alec once she and Seto got back to camp.
Everyone ran towards them, "What the hell is going on around here?" asked Tristan. Alec sequined she saw people running, Mage Seth on a rock laughing sinisterly, people running in a panic, screaming, and dying. Kisara was standing next to him, watching the damage happen.
Kisara had the look of worry in her eyes, she at that moment feared Mage Set, and ran away from him. "Kisara!" he yelled as he notices she was gone.
Alec came out of the flash back, she knew what she had to do she had to get to the sword even if it was buried she had to find it, she now knew that it would help and end these problems.
Alec took off in a full sprit toward the cavern. "Alec, come back here!" yelled Yugi and Kaiba at the same time. Seto and Yugi both looked at each other and ran after Alec, for Tristan, Joey, and Tea followed, Mokuba and Yamu were hiding behind a tent trying to stay out of danger. Monsters were jumping and chasing people all around the camp. Sara, Odeon, Marik, and Isis drove up, "Alec!" yelled Sara, "What are you doing here?" asked Sara.
Alec looked at her sister, "What do you think I am doing here?" snapped Alec, Sara did not want to do 20 questions with Alec, "Look we need to get Yugi, Seto, you, Tristan, Tea, and me over to the cavern pronto," she snapped.
Alec, Seto, Tristan, Yugi, Tea, and Sara hopped into the jeep. Marik, Isis, and Odeon hoped out, "well take care of the camp, and be safe," said Odeon, "Kaiba, take care of Sara for me."
Seto nodded to Odeon's request, as Sara went full speed on the jeep. The ground began to shake again Alec felt something squinted in her stomach again this time it was worst then the first.
Seto saw Alec in pain he did not know why; she would be gripping her side so much, but it made him think back to when he saw her scar from Gosaburo stabbing her. "Alec, are you alright?" he asked, Alec shook her head no. Sara was not looking back at them but it was clear that she knew something was wrong. Sara pulled the jeep up to the entrance to the cavern.
Alec was shocked to discover that the two great doors had been restore, when she and Seto destroyed the entire cavern two years ago, how was this possible that it was back to normal. Sara walked up to it and was about to touch the door when Alec grabbed Sara's hands just as she was about to touch the palm print, "Sara wait, something isn't right, I can feel it in my gut something bad is about to happen if you touch the door."
Sara looked at her worried step sister, "Alec if your flipping out, over the door being reconstructed, don't worry this is just a plaster copy of it, Odeon and I made it after you and Seto left the wreck around here, I know what I am doing," she said.
Alec removed her hand, "Fine but don't say I did not warn you," said Alec stepping away and over by a rock. Sara faced the door just as her hand was about touch in another shock wave flowed through the ground causing Sara to push the door open as she fell on it.
The cavern door, was open the cavern was gone; it was a vortex of some sorts. The look on Sara's face said it all; she did not expect this to be happening.
A strong gust of wind began to pull everyone towards the vortex; Seto grabbed Alec around the waist if anything was happening they would face it together.
Yugi was hanging on to Tea; Tristan was hanging on to a rock the same for Joey, and Sara holding on to Alec whom being held down by one of Kaiba's arms and his other around a near by rock.
The pull on Alec and Sara were becoming too much for Seto, he was losing his grip around the rock and Alec, and he knew eventually that he would have to choose vortex or losing his wife and sister in law.
Seto did not have a choice once he felt Alec take one of her arms and began to move his away from her waist, "Alec what the HELL are you doing?" he yelled. Alec looked at Seto determination was in her eyes, he saw that she was about to let Sara go and him. "Alec hang on to her I almost have a better grip on the rock," said Seto trying to reaffirm his grip slowly.
Sara grabbed Alec's hand with both of hers; she knew she was going to go in the vortex, "Alec, have Seto let go of you or we are all going in. You know what this thing is behind me, come on, and do not continue to lie to yourself. The events that are happening are because of the past, something happened back then we need to fix."
Seto felt Alec pull away again, "Let me go Seto, I need to do this," Alec yelled. Seto was not about to let his wife go, but then he realized that Alec was moving her body out of his grip. "Alec NO," he yelled. Yugi saw what was happening, "Alec don't go!" he yelled at her, "Sis don't do it."
Alec did the unthinkable, "Seto I love you, but Sara and I will be fine, see you around," she said. Alec lowered her self enough to get a good shoot at Seto; she aimed her arm right in the nuts.
Seto released Alec out of pure reflects "DAMMIT" he yelled. Alec and Sara then flew into the vortex. Seto could not believe he just let go of Alec, he got to his feet but by the time he started to run for the vortex, Yugi had turned into Yami and they both grabbed Seto's arm. "Kaiba, don't think for a minute I am going to let you go in to that thing alone I am going with you, Alec is Yugi's sister no way am I letting you get her back alone," Yami snapped.
Seto grinded his teeth, "What are you waiting for wind bag, let us get them back, I made sure I keep my promises and that was to Odeon that I keep an eye on Sara, and I want my wife back," he said showing a small smirk. Yami Yugi smirked as well, "Fine, Kaiba."
Joey made his way over to them with the vortex still pulling them, "What are you two smirking about?" he yelled from his rock near them.
Seto looked at Joey and ran for the vortex, "Yugi come on," he yelled while jumping in to the vortex. Yugi made a mad dash for the vortex, Tea and Joey jumped after him, to stop him, but fell into the vortex with him.
Tristan was left alone on his rock, "Hey Guys come back! Oh man, Mokuba is going to kill me," he sighed.
The vortex began to close Tristan thought for a moment, "WHAT THE HELL!" he said as he jumped towards the closing portal. Isis, Marik, Mokuba, Yamu and Odeon showed up just as Tristan was about to make a run for the portal he fell on to the ground and hit the rock wall, the vortex had closed.
"Tristan where is everyone?" asked Odeon running up. Tristan sat up, "There gone, Alec and Sara were pulled into that vortex, Yugi and Kaiba followed them Joey and Tea tried to stop Yugi, but they fell in as they tried to grab him, and I got left behind," he said.
Odeon punched a nearby rock with his fist, "I knew I shouldn't have let Sara go with them," he cursed. Marik and Isis helped Tristan to his feet; he noticed a sheath and sword on Isis's side.
"Isis is that what I think it is?" asked Tristan pointing to it. Isis took the sword in her hands, "You mean this?" she said pulling it from the sheath; the millennium sword glowed.
"Yeah, Sara found it two days ago, she knew all this was going to happen, and I know where they all are now," she said. Tristan looked at Isis, "Where are they?" he yelled. Marik spoke, "Not where Tristan, but when." "Oh man, this can't be good," said Mokuba looking over at a worried Yamu.
