Enjoy and REVIEW
Chapter Two: Hello Kitty
Joey walked down the dorm hall toward Mai's room. He had bolted out of orientation as soon as the leader let his group go. He wanted to get in and out without anyone else knowing what he was up to, after all if he was rejected Seto would give him enough hell over it. Let Bakura or Malik know and poor Joey would be laughed into the next millennia before it was over. He was about to turn down the final hallway on the way to Mai's when he was stopped by a voice.
"Hey Joey stop," it was Yugi calling after him. Joey turned around and looked back to his short best friend.
"Yugi what are you doing here," Joey asked friend came to a halt at his side panting for air.
"I'm glad I caught you," Yugi smiled at his friend.
"But what are you doing here? I told the others I wouldn't be too long," Joey told Yugi glancing down the hall toward Mai's room.
"Moral support for my best friend," Yugi smiled, "Besides since Tea got expelled for fucking that professor last year Mai has new roommates and I want to meet them!" Joey looked Yugi over laughing in his mind at Yugi's friendly demeanor.
"Support for what," Joey managed to hide the panic in his voice.
"It's ok Joey. We all know the truth," Yugi laughed patting Joey's arm lightly, "Kaiba told us he heard you thinking out loud last night. He said you had decided to ask Mai out." Joey smiled feeling slightly better that he had some back up now. I'm going to kill Seto though.
"How kind of him," Joey forced out, "well here I go." The two walked down the hall. They pasted an open door. Inside were two of their friends, Saiai and Terra. The two were busy making out not caring that they were giving the world a free show.
"Hey you guys," Yugi waved. At the sound of his voice Saiai waved at him but never broke contact with his girlfriend's lips.
"How the hell did he get that lucky," Joey asked referring to the fact that they two never seemed to stop making out.
"I don't know," Yugi laughed, "if we ever break them apart for air maybe you can ask him.
"So are you two going to the party this weekend," Joey asked, "it's the first of the year at the mansion. Kaiba said to get the word out." Saiai gave the thumbs up saying they would be there.
"Alright see you two later," Yugi said as he and Joey walked the rest of the way to Mai's dorm. With one knock the door swung open and Mai appeared in the doorway.
"Well look what the cat dragged in," Mai smiled at her friends. She wore dark blue low-rise jeans that cut off at the top of her purple and white sneakers and a white halter-top.
"I didn't do it," a female voice shouted from the other room.
"I wasn't talking about you Neko," Mai shouted back. Joey gave her a look and she let them come into the room.
"That's one of my new roommate's," Mai said, and offered them a seat on the couch. Her dorm was like all the other dorms at the college. Once you walked into the door you were in the main room that was divided into a living room area and a kitchen set. At the back of the room was the walled off bathroom and on each side of the front room were the two bedrooms that fit two students per side. Joey and Yugi sat on the couch and Mai took a chair next to Joey's side of the couch.
"So what brings you two all the way down to my end of the dorms so early in the semester," Mai asked.
"We're spreading the word about Kaiba's party this weekend," Joey told her, "and I wanted to talk to you about something, in private." Joey did his best not to blush.
"I want to meet your new roommates," Yugi added in his happy childlike tone.
"Leave it to you to want to befriend everyone," Mai laughed. She got up and walked to the doorway on her left. She motioned for Joey to follow her but blocked his view of the room.
"Joey this is Nakia, Nakia this is my friend Joey," Mai introduced them. Nakia nodded making a note of the blonde's name.
"Ok we'll be in my room. Yugi's in the front room," Mai said, "go keep him company while I talk to Joey." Mai then lead Joey to the other bedroom door and walked in. Nakia soon exited her room and found herself face to face with the cutest little boy she had ever seen.
"How cute! You're baby-sitting," Nakia laughed making sure she was loud enough that Joey could hear her through the door.
"I'm not a little kid," Yugi corrected her. His voiced washed over her and she saw violet eyes staring at her. She was wrong. He wasn't cute; he was hot.
"Oh well that's good," she smiled sitting down next to him on the couch, "because you're hot!"
"Yeah my boyfriend thinks so too," Yugi waited for a negative response.
"Oh well he's very lucky," She smiled comfortably.
"Everyone's gay around here but you'll get used to it," Mai shouted from her room.
"It's ok my brother is too," Nakia responded. Yugi looked Nakia over. She wasn't like anyone he'd ever seen before. Her long plum red hair was tied back in a braid and two blonde pieces framed her face. The top of her head was hidden under a black bandana covered in flames and skulls. She wore a black tee shirt with an angry pouncing tiger on it and a pair of black jeans and she was barefoot. His eyes were drawn to her neck as she played with a set of dog tags.
"What's on your dog tags," he asked her. She looked up and smiled at him. He had innocence about him that she had never felt before, and yet she could tell he wasn't as innocent as he really appeared to be most of the time.
"This one has my favorite duel monster one side and on the back is my name, the other one has a phrase in ancient Egyptian and the same phrase will be carved in Japanese when I find someone to translate it for me," she stopped toying with her tags and let them drop.
"What's your favorite duel monster," Yugi asked her.
"You sure have a lot of questions for a guy I haven't been properly introduced to," she looked at him, her icy blue eyes almost looked red for a second.
"Oh I'm sorry," Yugi apologized," I'm Yugi Mutou. I'm nineteen and my dorm is on the other side of this building.
"Nakia Sanura sometimes called Neko," She shook his hand.
"I'm going to call you Ni," Yugi told her sweetly.
"Alright," she agreed, "and my favorite duel monster is the red eyes black metal dragon."
"Wow. You and Joey will get along great. He loves the normal red eyes," Yugi told her.
"What's your favorite," she asked, "No wait let me guess."
"Ok," he laughed. She looked him over for a minute then her eyes lit up.
"Dark magician," She told him. But this is not the Pharaoh I get nothing from him.
"That's correct! He's mine and my boyfriend's favorite," Yugi smiled innocently. Nakia felt a small warmth come form her dog tags. I know I think we are getting closer. She placed a hand over her dog tags them stuck them back inside her shirt.
"I'd love to meet him," she smiled innocently at him.
"You should come to dinner with everyone tonight," Yugi suggested excitedly, "it's a big group of friends hanging out."
"Well I don't know anyone. I'd feel out of place," she said shyness in her tone.
"Don't worry everyone will love you," Yugi bought her act, "and besides Mai and I will be there and Joey too! Please come, please!"
"Oh you are too cute when you do that," she laughed at him, "of course I'll go."
"Now you can meet my Yami," Yugi smiled happily.
"If all of your friends are as nice as you I'll fit in here just fine," she winked at him.
"Will I get to meet your brother," Yugi asked shyly.
"I'm sure we could arrange something," she looked at him, "do you want to see a picture?"
"Sure," he said excitedly.
"Alright follow me," she stood and walked toward her room.
Yugi followed her and he buzzed with excitement at his new friend. Yugi drank in her room as he stood in the doorway. Her half of the room was covered completely with posters of duel monsters, and not just any duel monsters but all the different forms of the red eyes. Some of the pictures were hand drawn others were store bought but all were perfect. Her desk was pushed into the far corner of the room with the bed right up against it. The only way to use the desk was to be on the bed. The desktop was covered in pictures of different kinds of duel monsters. The bed was covered in a black comforter that had red dragons all over it. The pillows were coved in the same pattern and on top of it all was a small-stuffed red-eyes. On the floor by the bed was three large black and red suitcases all open spilling their sacred treasures all over the floor. Nakia was digging around in one of her bags as Yugi stayed at the door. I haven't seen anyone this obsessed with their dragon since Kaiba. Maybe they'll hit it off and get together Yugi laughed to himself at the thought of his two dragon crazed friends dating.
"What's so funny little one," Ni asked pulling out her conquest from under a pair of black pants.
"Just a random thought," Yugi shook his head, "did you find it?"
"Yeah come here," she sat down on her bed, with the picture behind her back. Yugi walked into the room and sat down next to her.
"This is my one and only brother," she pulled a black skull and crossbones frame out from behind her back. The picture was one of her with her brother taken just before they left their home. She stood behind him hugging her brother lovingly. Her eyes were closed hiding their icy color. Yugi just looked at the picture that his new friend shared. Her brother was nothing short of amazing. His deep blue eyes radiated his love for his sister even through the picture. Yugi looked at how his braided bangs framed his flawless face perfectly and how they were the same blonde as his long ponytail. He was afraid to speak. No man he had ever seen, besides his dear Yami, was more perfect looking than this man. And this was just his picture.
"Yugi," Ni called him as she moved the picture out of his line of vision and put it on the desk.
"Your brother is," Yugi couldn't even finish his sentence.
"Yeah he gets that a lot," Ni shrugged it off, "He can turn a straight man gay."
Yugi laughed, the picture still burning in his mind.
"So how old is he," Yugi asked regaining his innocent demeanor.
"Well he's nineteen," she told him, "we are twins but I'm older by two minutes." Yugi nodded.
"His name is Dryce," she continued, "and don't worry he's an awesome friend."
"I can't wait to meet him," Yugi blushed turning away.
"Oh you're so cute when you get all innocent,' Ni hugged him lightly unsure if it was alright to do so. Yugi wrapped his arms around her and hugged her back tightly.
"You're going to do well in this group Ni," he smiled.
"I'm glad you think so," she returned his smile.
"I was wondering," Yugi started suddenly pulling back from her, "where are you from?"
"Egypt," she answered. Yugi stopped and took a long look at her.
"Wow so are some of my other friends," Yugi told her, "you'll meet them tonight."
"I can't wait," she looked down at him, "I love meeting people from home." One of them must be my Pharaoh.
"You know Joey and Mai have been gone a lone time," Ni realized looking toward Mai's closed door.
"Well Joey's probably still trying to ask her out" Yugi said absent-mindedly.
"I thought everyone around here was gay," she joked.
"Almost," Yugi told her as he noticed a picture that was half hidden on her desk, "Only Joey and Kaiba aren't."
"I see," her gaze followed his, "what are you looking at?" Yugi moved from her bed to the side of her desk. His tiny hands pulled the piece of paper out from its hiding place so her could get a better look, and show her of course. She smiled softly at the picture in Yugi's hands. It was a hand drawn picture colored with lightly with colored pencils. It was a picture of the Celtic Guardian with his sword drawn protectively. Behind him was a red eyes black metal dragon whose tail was curled up protectively around the Dark Magician. The red eyes of the dragon glowed at the danger just off the page seemingly daring anyone to try and hurt the magician.
"Wow this is really good, Yugi said in a whisper as if not to disturb the monsters on the page.
"Thank you," she said just as softly as she walked up beside Yugi.
"Who drew this," he asked fingers lightly touching the Dark Magician, "there is so much emotion here."
"I did," she told him, "all the art work here is mine."
"Do you think you could draw me one," he asked innocently his large violet eyes sparkling.
"What would you like me to draw for you little one," she asked as she took the picture from his hands and taped it to the wall.
"Why are the other monsters protecting the Dark Magician," Yugi asked.
"That is their duty," she said simply, "now what about your picture?" Yugi looked around the room for ideas but all he saw were dragons.
"I don't know," he said, "art isn't my thing."
"Well you and your boyfriend both like the Dark Magician so how about a picture of two of them together to represent the both of you. Granted I'll have to wait until I meet Yami before I could detail it," she smiled, "I've never done a piece without a dragon it would be a challenge." Ni went over to her bag and pulled out more pictures of her family. She placed them all over her desk getting lost in a conversation with Yugi about her old life.
Over in Mai's room Joey sat nervously on her bed. He looked around at the Harpies pictures and movie stars all over her room. The bed was a deep purple that matched her pretty eyes. Mai sat at her desk and looked at him in silence.
"Come on Joey what did you want,' Mai asked, which brought his attention back to her.
"Well I had a question to ask you,' Joey looked her in the eyes.
"Alright go ahead," Mai told him to continue.
"Well you remember the game right" Joey started off.
"You guys are still applying that stupid game," Mai asked rolling her eyes.
"You didn't think it was stupid when you played," Joey reminded her harshly.
"Get to the point," she demanded, Joey could tell by the look in her eyes she meant business. She was giving him her classic duel monsters look.
"Well we are starting the new game this weekend," Joey said quickly, "and I wasn't happy with the results from our last year."
"Kaiba still won't let anyone know," she asked now looking at him sadly. Joey shook his head.
"I see," she looked away from him. Mai was the only person who knew about Seto and Joey, Not even Mokuba knew. Seto didn't want to corrupt his little brother. It was a year and a half ago when it all happened.
Flashback
Mai and Joey lay holding each other on the couch at her house, they had just started going out secretly a few days ago.
"You know I still can't believe he's such ass to me," Joey growled. Mai kissed his forehead softly.
"Have you even tried to talk to Kaiba by himself," she asked. He looked into her brown eyes, with a quizzical look on his face.
"Well I think things would be different if you were able to speak to him alone," she told him. And they were.
The next day Joey went to talk to Kaiba alone. They fought like normal but it ended with Seto grabbing an angry Joey's hand and pulling him in for a passionate kiss that Mai happened to see.
"It's alright," she told him when he begged for forgiveness, "I had a feeling there was something between the two of you that you had yet to figure out. Anyway I've got a new guy that wants to go out with me. Good luck to you two." Mai had been super sweet, uncharacteristic for her, about the whole thing and the truth was she had realized she only loved Joey as a brother. They could never have any kind of passion like she saw between him and Seto in one kiss.
End Flashback
"So what do you want from me," she asked.
"Would you pretend to be my girlfriend," Joey asked as his brown eyes glimmered. Mai stayed quiet for a few minutes.
"Kaiba's ok with this," she asked.
"As much as he'll ever be,' Joey answered.
"What if I find a guy I want to go out with," she looked at her friend seriously.
"Then we break it off," Joey stated simply," anyway you'd like. I just don't want any more zeros in this game." Her heart melted at his words. Kaiba was truly being unfair to him.
"I'll do it on a few conditions," Mai told him.
"Ok name them," Joey said excitedly.
"One we keep the PDAs to a minimum. Two we don't actually do anything," she told him. He nodded in agreement,
"Also we break up if I find someone to date. If it doesn't work out I'll come back to you," she went on," and you get Kaiba to include Nakia in the game, as well as my other roommate, if she's cool with it. I don't want to be the only girl involved."
"I'll talk to Seto at dinner about that last part but I'm sure he'd agree," Joey smiled happily.
"Ok them of course I'll go out with you Joey," Mai smiled, "anything to help my friend."
"Great," Joey stood excited and bouncing off the walls, "you and Nakia should come to dinner tonight. I'll talk to Seto and we can tell everyone tonight."
"Yeah now we should go look in on the other two," Mai walked out of her room, "I don't know how they'll get along."
"No need to worry about Yuge. He's good with everyone," Joey told her. And as if they purposely tried to agree with Joey, the other two were down on the floor at the coffee table. Nakia was almost finished with her drawing of Yugi.
"So what's the verdict," Nakia asked not looking up from where she shaded in Yugi's eyes.
"She said yes," Joey answered he knew that Yugi hadn't kept his little mouth shut.
"Yay," Yugi cheered as he stood up, "but I guess that means it's time to go! See you tonight you two." Yugi and Joey left the two roommates alone again. Mai sat down and looked over Nakia's shoulder at her picture of Yugi.
"Wow Neko that is a great piece of art," Mai noticed little details in the picture that were easy to over look even when you looked at the real life Yugi.
"It's nothing really," Ni let her pencil do a few more strokes and then she was done.
Yugi and Joey walked by their friends Terra and Saiai again. They couple was still in the same spot making out.
"I see you are still at it," Joey laughed. A hand waved at him. "Well have a good day and keep up the good work."
"You're an inspiration to us all," Yugi added with a laugh. Then the two friends walked down the hall, the couple fell out of sight.
"Wish I could do that," Yugi breathed out softly yet bitterly.
'Don't we all,' Joey asked empathizing with his friend's bitterness.
Seto stood and his eyes over-looked the dinning room table critically. The kitchen staff had already set the table for dinner. There were nine place settings, with the cheap dishes of course. He dare not waste his fine blue eyes china on guests like Bakura and Malik. They were lucky he hadn't chosen to go with paper plates. The only reason he decided against it was he didn't want any rumors that he couldn't afford real plates. Seto nodded approvingly and then turned to leave the dinning hall. There in the doorway stood Joey. Seto admired his boyfriend in silence. He loved the way Joey's blonde hair was always a mess and how his brown eyes sparkled with a request. Seto walked over and pulled Joey into a loving hug. He placed a soft kiss on Joey's lips but felt his love freeze with worry. Joey was stiff in Seto's arms.
"We're all alone love," Seto whispered, "the others are out and the help would be killed if they said anything." Joey relaxed into Seto's arms and placed a light kiss on his soft lips.
"I talked to Mai," Joey said when Seto let him stop the kiss, "and I'm going to have to kill you for telling Yugi what I was up to."
"Well I wanted someone to be with my puppy in his time of need," Seto bit his lower lip absently, "so what did she have to say?"
"She said yes," Joey broke out into a smile, "but we have to include her roommates in the game."
"You know the rules," Seto said, "as long as they are at the first party they can join us."
"Yugi also invited one of them to dinner tonight," Joey remembered. "Can we invite her to join us then?"
"What is she like," Seto asked as he still held Joey in an embrace
"Obsessed with the red eyes black metal dragon and art," Joey nuzzled his head into Seto's shoulder, "Yugi said there are pictures all over her dorm room."
"I see," Seto nodded, "you two will get along well then."
"I didn't get to see her room at all or even talk to her," Joey told him, "But Yugi said she's great."
"What about the other one," Seto asked.
"She hasn't arrived yet," Joey, answered, "she'll be coming some time this week." Seto kissed Joey's forehead and pulled away from him, he then walked toward the kitchen. Joey watched as Seto disappeared behind the door.
"There will be one more for dinner," he heard Seto telling the cook.
"Yes sir Mr. Kaiba sir," the cook answered and the kitchen door opened. Out came one of the kitchen attendants with the extra table setting. He nodded to Joey, set the table, and returned to the kitchen. Seto returned to the dinning room to inspect the new setting. Joey could tell something was wrong. Seto calmly walked back into the kitchen.
"I told you to put out a clean setting," Seto yelled, "that one has water spots. Fix it now! I will not have my guests eating off of nothing but the best do you understand me?"
"Yes Mr. Kaiba sir," the kitchen staff said in unison.
"Do it again and that will be your job," Seto yelled some more. A different attendant came into the room and quickly changed out the offending place setting. Seto walked out and looked it over again.
"Much better," he mused quietly. Joey stood watching his love with hungry eyes. He always loved it when Seto was assertive.
"You really turn me on when you yell like that," Joey said from the doorway.
"Well puppy we have some time before anyone gets back," Seto arched an eyebrow suggestively, "what do you say to a little fun?" Joey's eyes lit up excitedly.
"Anything you say master," Joey whispered. Seto crossed the room and grabbed Joey by the collar of his shirt.
"Come along then mutt it's time to teach you a lesson," Seto's voice was dripping with need.
A few hours and much play time later it was finally time for the dinner party. Everyone save the girls has arrived and was sitting in the living room. Bakura and Ryou sat snuggling together on the love seat lost in their whispers. Yami and Yugi were on the couch with an empty seat on Yugi's left side. Duke and Tristan sat in the folding chairs taking softly to each other. Malik sat in the over-sized comfortable chair with Marik in his lap. He held onto his hikari lovingly. Seto stood with his left side leaned against the fireplace as he watched his friends in silence. He longed to be able to openly hold his puppy the way his friends held their lovers. His eyes shifted from Yami and Yugi to his beloved puppy Joey, who was on the other side of the room on the footrest to the big chair. It had been moved to the wall so his back rested against it softly. He was in a silent prayer, with the hope that everyone would believe his fake relationship.
The door to the room suddenly opened and in walked Mai followed closely by Nakia, all eyes turned to the stranger. Everyone wanted to know more about this new addition to their lives.
"Everyone this is Nakia," Mai told the group," Nakia this is Ryou and Bakura" Mai pointed the two out. Nakia nodded. Damn that little one is hot.
"Over there is Duke and Tristan," Mai continued. Ni looked over at the two who waved back at her. They seem friendly enough.
"You know Joey and Yugi. Next to Yugi is his boyfriend Yami," Mai pointed out the former pharaoh. Nakia smiled somehow her mind knew that Yugi's boyfriend was going to look like him. Yami is just how I pictured him.
"Over there in the chair is Malik and that is Marik in his lap," Mai pointed out, "And over by the fireplace is our host Seto Kaiba." Nakia memorized everyone almost instantly. But her eyes lingered on Seto. There is something about him that seems familiar.
"Ni come sit over here," Yugi asked as he pointed to the space next to him on the couch. She nodded and sat down. Mai turned and talked to Joey.
"So Ni this is my boyfriend Yami," Yugi smiled happily. Nakia looked the Yugi look-alike over. He was taller with the same hair. His eyes were a beautiful crimson and very focused. Oh those eyes, so red, so familiar. He was wearing all black and leather; it really suited him.
"It is nice to meet you," Yami offered his hand; a small smile appeared on his lips. Nakia went to shake the offered hand and gasped at the touch. She experienced a flash from her past life and the former pharaoh saw and felt it as well. Nakia slid off the couch and kneeled on the floor. She bowed low to the ground as her dog tags came out of her black shirt.
"My Pharaoh," she stayed low to the ground but raised her head to look at him, "I found you." Yami looked at Yugi unsure.
Did you tell her about that?
No Yami.
How does she know then?
Nakia sat on the floor her gaze focused on her Pharaoh; she could tell that he didn't remember her.
"Nakia," Yami said, "I don't know how you know about my past but things are just that, the past."
"It is my past too," she whispered as she returned to her seat next to Yugi. He doesn't remember me.
"How is that possible," Yugi asked looking at them both.
"I'm the reincarnation of one of the Pharaoh's personal guards," she smiled down at Yugi. And friends.
"I don't remember my past," he told her.
"Did you not feel that jolt when we shook hands," she asked. The memory re-entered the mind of the former pharaoh. His eyes widened at the sudden realization.
"How much do you remember," he asked her.
"That was my first real memory," she told him. "Everything I know is information passed down through my family for generations."
"Ra-damn it Pharaoh stop hogging our new toy," Bakura shouted over to them.
"Tomb robber I am busy," Yami shouted back.
"And she's not a toy," Yugi added.
"Do you need something," Nakia asked Bakura as she raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Nothing you can give," Bakura turned back to Ryou.
"Then stop bothering me," Nakia growled at him.
"Bakura is right," all eyes turned toward Seto, "we have a new person among us and you are capitalizing her time." Nakia's ice blue eyes met Seto's from across the room. Her dog tags sent a warm sensation through her chest. What is it red-eyes? He's not the pharaoh.
"You can talk to the others," Yugi told her. She nodded and stood to walk away.
"We will talk about this later," she whispered to Yami. Nakia managed to talk to everyone in the room, and no one seemed to dislike her, not even Bakura could find a reason to hate her.
"Dinner is ready," the maid entered with a bow. Seto was pulling out all the stops to impress his new guest.
"Let's go eat," Seto lead the group toward the dinning hall, Nakia was by his side.
"You have a nice place here," she told him.
"Thank you," Seto felt his mission would be accomplished. With the two women joining the dinner party the seating arrangements were off. Seto sat at the head of the table. On his left were Ryou, Bakura, Malik and Mai. On Seto's right were Nakia, Yami, Yugi, and Marik. Joey sat at the foot of the table.
"Why do I have to sit all the way at the end of the table," Joey whined.
"Mutt you're lucky you get a spot at the table and not just a bowl on the floor," Seto reminded him.
All throughout dinner Nakia felt heat coming from her dog tags. She was unsure if it was because of Seto or Yami, or both. She talked to Yami for most of dinner explaining about her life and their past. Between her stories Bakura would bait Yami and they would fight across the table. When they did this she turned to Seto or Ryou, but mostly Ryou. Yugi watched his new friend and was happy at how well she fit into the group. He watched as she talked to Seto, and he actually treated her like an equal. She and Kaiba really will do well together. Yami turned back to Nakia after he shouted at Bakura again.
"So how did you learn about our past," Yami asked as he ignored Bakura's attempts to verbally attack him again.
"I was chosen to learn the history of my people," she told him," we are the family of personal guards." Yami nodded. She went on to tell him about her mother's death, how her father left to train and stopped before she revealed to him mission and the hidden meaning of her dog tags.
"That is sure a lot of weight to carry around," Ryou spoke up in his cute accent. She turned and looked at him and he started to blush.
"It's not so bad," she smiled, "especially now that I have found the pharaoh."
"Please call me Yami," Yami asked softly.
"If you wish it, Ph- Yami-sama," she caught herself. Yami smiled at her.
"I guess I can deal with that," he said with a hint of laughter.
Yugi we will definitely need to talk to her later.
/ Of course Yami. Maybe you can two can remember your past together. /
Maybe.
"So Nakia," Seto's smooth voice washed over her, "what are you studying?"
"History," she answered, "I want to be an Egyptologist." Yami glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.
"Well you already have a leg up," Yugi laughed.
"So what's your last name," Marik asked, "maybe my family knows yours. We are the Ishtars."
I figured as much," Nakia told him, "you look like it. I know much about your family history. And I am a Sanura."
"Neko-Chan," Yami spoke up as he suddenly remembered the name he had called her in the past.
"Yes Yami-sama," she asked as she turned to look at him.
"I remember that that is what used to call you," he whispered. She nodded with a smile at his memory.
"We can talk about it later," she suggested.
"Sure thing Neko-Chan," Yami picked up his glass of water.
When dinner was over and the table had been cleared Seto stood to make his announcements.
"As most of you know this weekend is the first part for the year," Seto reminded them. Bakura made a grunt of approval.
"I would like to take this time to extend an invitation to Mai and Nakia to join this year's game", he looked at both women with his classic Seto smirk.
"Well Kaiba," Mai smiled, "of course I'll play this year. I want to keep an eye on my boyfriend." She leaned over to kiss Joey softly on the lips. Seto stiffened with anger but turned to Nakia for her answer.
"Come on Ni," Yugi pleaded, "join the game."
"Alright little one," Ni turned to Yugi, "if you want me to play."
"We'd love for you to join us," Yami said as Yugi cheered.
"Alright then I'll do it," Ni agreed.
"I'm glad you agreed," Seto's warm voice seemed to surround Nakia like a distant voice from her past. Once again she was getting a response from her dog tags that surprised her. He must be from my past as well. Shortly after this they said their good-byes and went their own ways for the night.
