Never Knew
"Kite?" Seto turned.
Kite smiled," I am being summoned by Yami."
Then he was gone.
"But how?" Seto asked.
"Mokuba gave him your cards, said you wouldn't mind, if he used them to beat Pegasus," Dar gasped.
"Don't talk," Tao cried softly.
"I summon Blue Eyes White Dragon in defense mood," Yami stated as he placed the card down.
Before him a giant dragon appeared with a roar.
Pegasus only smirked as Yami finished his round and pulled out his next card, damn it wasn't the one he wanted. But it did please him when he felt the worry in Yami's mind, he was getting desperate. Didn't he know that his Toon World was unbeatable; at this rate he would have beaten the Pharaoh before he showed his trump card.
He simply placed a trap card down, and turned to taunt Yami some more.
"Oh, Pharaoh is this all you got. Really, this is becoming quite boring," Pegasus yawned.
Yami narrowed his eyes but calmed and switched places with Yugi. It was the only thing that stopped Pegasus from completely having the upper hand.
Pegasus smiled as Yugi placed the second Blue Eyes into the field.
"Kyra," Seto shouted as the young girl vanished.
"Things aren't going so good are they," Tao whispered to a healing Dar.
"No, Pegasus is using his Millennium Eye on them, he can read their thoughts, know what cards they have. But Yami and Yugi keep switching places, but it's not enough,"
"How is that possible? This "millennium eye" can't possible do that,"
"It did this to you," Dar stated.
"Then what are we going to do," Seto snapped.
"Seto calm down, we…" Tao said but stopped.
"Bye," he whispered and disappeared.
"Tao wait…"
"Seto don't worry they are all on the field at the moment our one of them would have returned," Dar stated.
"But do you know what Yami is planning?"
"I honestly don't know,"
Pegasus smirked at the three giant Blue Eyes that roar at him from across the field.
"Really Yami, just because you have Kaiba boy's Blue Eyes doesn't give you they upper hand,"
"Don't you ever shut up," Yami snapped.
"Guys what going on," Joey asked as he ran back to the group.
"Where have you been?" Tristan asked.
"Making sure, Ryou was okay," Joey sort of lied.
"Dude, you two look like you've been running, you all flushed,"
"Um yeah, we hurry to see how Yugi and Yami are doing,"
"Not so good," he whispered and their attention turned back when they heard Yami snap at Pegasus.
So engrossed into the battle they didn't noticed two snow-colored haired boys beside them.
"Dar, what's happening?" Seto asked as he felt light.
"Oh no, he's calling you,"
"Who?"
"I place this monster in defense mode," Pegasus smiled and watched as the figure appeared before him.
Yami looked at the beginning in wonder, what was this new creature floating in front of him. Yami couldn't see his face for wings which appeared both light blue and silver covered most of his body. All that he could see was two long strips of white cloth that appeared to be a skirt and long silver boots. Yami couldn't tell if the beginning was male or female. Then the strangest thing, the Blue Eyes bowed to this creature.
"What is this Pegasus?" Yami shouted, ignoring Yugi's pleas to change with him.
Seto tried to move but found he couldn't, he stared more like glared at the feathered wings that had appeared to be surrounding him, that's when he noticed that the wings were his. He held silver staff in his hands. What was going on, the last thing he remember was Dar telling him that he was being summoned.
Lost in thought, he was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a familiar voice. Could it be?
With as must power he could muster, he slowly moved some of his wings so that he could see. There standing before he where his three Blue Eyes bowed down before him, and a stunned Yami in the distance.
Yami stayed quiet as the figure before him, appeared so similar, and was stunned when beautiful eyes peered through the wings. Then it hit him.
"Seto Kaiba," Yami whispered.
"Oh, Yami you ruined my surprise," Pegasus stated in a mock hurt.
"But how, Kaiba isn't a Duel Monster," Yami shouted across the field.
That drew everyone attention.
Pegasus smirked.
"I really don't know how he become a Duel Monster, but I know that the creature he is at the moment truly did exist,"
"What?"
"Enough talk, let's get on with it," Pegasus and switched attack mode.
Seto's wings opened to reveal himself to Yami. The group gasped at the sight before them. Never had they seen anything like this before. Seto wore a similar outfit to the Dark Magician's but was white and blue. He wore no hat, but a silver circlet with a sapphire at the center. Held close to his chest in an innocent manner was the staff of the Dark Magician but was silver with a bluish pearl at the top.
"What will you do Yami?" Pegasus mocked.
"Yami you can't attack Kaiba," Yugi shouted.
"I know Yugi, even if I wanted to, I don't think the dragons would attack their master," Yami answered back mentally.
"You can't attack me directly, and are you willing to attack him," Pegasus pointed to Seto.
Yami narrowed and said nothing.
"Oh, but how are you going to save him Pharaoh, I thought you stop to until you set him free, and oh don't forget about dear Grandpa," Pegasus mocked.
He laughed when Yami looked torn not knowing what to do.
Seto's eyes widen when he heard Pegasus taunt Yami. He was here to save him, and his Grandfather. Pegasus had played them both into this game, he was using other people has his advantage, just like he used Mokuba. He narrowed his eyes; Pegasus would not get away with this. But Yami was at a stall mate, he needed help.
He had to do something, he had too.
Seto's hands clenched on the staff and pulled it closer, he had to do something.
Yami looked at Seto then the strangest think happened the blue pearl on the staff began to glow. It was then, that Yami and everyone else saw the shadows swirling around them.
"What going on?" he heard Tea shout, they too where being in gulped by the darkness.
"Oh, not again," Tristan groaned.
Ryou looked to Bakura with a confused look.
"It's not me," Bakura said honestly. Joey and he had gone to go wake up the sleeping albino from his spell, after their little make out session. It took a while to make him understand what was going on and that Bakura was no longer evil.
Joey turned to the boys and walked to them.
"I didn't do it," Bakura implored to Joey.
"Shh, I know," Joey said wrapping his arms around Bakura pulling him closer.
"Pegasus, what is this?" Yami damned.
Pegasus did not answer as the shadows engulfed them all.
Seto watched from his stance as the shadows grow he noticed he could move some more. Then they were all in the shadows and Seto saw that he could move freely. He swirled around causing his skirt to dance, then a flashed hit him.
"What's going on? I did not give you permission to move" Pegasus shouted when he saw Seto moving freely.
Seto turned to look at him; Pegasus immediately noticed there was something different about him, something innocent.
"You have wrong and disrespect the game of the Shadow People," Seto stated.
Even the way he spoke was different.
"Kaiba I command you to,"
"NO," Seto stated firmly.
"What? I am your master you will…"
"You are wrong, I have no master," Seto stated and pouted like a child.
"I am your master," he growled through his teeth.
"NO, you have no right over me, no one has in the past and no one will in the future,"
"Seto," Yami called out.
Seto turned and frowned.
"No silly, Setti, have you forgotten me already," Seto pouted and flew over to Yami.
Yami smiled and held out his arms to the angel, who quickly flew into them.
"I could never forget you," Yami said as he ran his fingers through his hair, "But you go by Seto now."
"So you are the same Pharaoh, who was his beloved," Pegasus shouted in rage.
"What?" Tea shouted out of her stupor.
Pegasus could take it any more.
"Kaiba, I have your card, so I commanded you,"
"What card?" Seto giggled.
Pegasus looked down and saw that the card was gone.
"Where?"
"Over here," Seto called out, in one hand he held out the card.
"How?"
"In the Shadow Realm, the Shadow People are the most powerful," Seto answered.
"I suggest you forfeit, because Blue Eyes are really mad, especially Tao because you hurt Dar," he continued very childlike.
The Blue Eyes in the far left roared angrily.
"Dar?" Yami whispered in his ear.
Seto smiled and looked at him.
"Your Dark Magician, they're lovers," Seto answered; there was a shine in his eyes.
Yami smiled and tighten his hold on Seto and nuzzled his neck, causing Seto to giggle.
Yami couldn't help but think this wasn't the Seto he knew, but if felt so familiar for him to be so innocent.
The group was completely taken back by the show of affection from the two who were normally rivals.
Pegasus slammed his hands on the consul, drawing their attention.
"I will not be beaten like this," he snarled.
"Find then Blue Eyes," Yami started but stopped when but Seto stopped him.
"Seto?" Yami asked.
Seto smiled and turned to Pegasus.
"You can't bring her back," he said.
"What?" Pegasus paled.
"Cecilia. You can't bring her back, not like this, do you honestly think she would thank you,"
"But…"
"She wouldn't be the same,
"No, I have to bring her,"
"NO, Pegasus, you can't. You've lost Pegasus, no matter what you do, you still lose," Seto said firmly.
Pegasus's eye widened, he lowered his clenching his eyes shut to block out the world. His hands balled into fist started to shake. He let out a hallow breath and placed a hand on his deck.
"I forfeit," he sighed.
The group cheered, and Seto turned to Yami.
Yami smiled and lean forward to claim what was his. Lost in the kiss, he almost forgot everything, till Seto pulled back and gave a sad sigh.
"Seto," Yami asked worriedly.
Seto gave a heartrending smile, before snuggling close to Yami, almost as if he was afraid to never be like this again. Yami didn't understand. Seto pulled back and out of Yami's arms, Yami saw the silent tears fall from his cerulean eyes.
"This can't be Yami,"
"What? Seto wait,"
"Shh, listen," Seto said as he flew closer silencing Yami with gentle fingers.
"When out of the Shadow Realm, all that happen with be gone from you memory, this is how it must be,"
"No," Yami reached out and pulled his flush against his body," No, I can't lose you."
"You won't, I will still be here. But it is not time, Yami. I as Seto Kaiba," Seto said as he placed his hand over his heart," am not ready for love. Too much sadness and heartache for love to come in yet. But I will be ready, and you will find then. We are destined after all."
Yami shook his head and tighten his hold on him. He kissed him passionately one last time.
"Don't worry Yami, all is not lost," Seto whispered after the kiss.
He snuggled closer to Yami as the darkness started to disappear.
"I love you, Yami,"
"I love you, Se…"
"Yugi Motou is crowned the King of Games," the ref. shouted, and the group cheered.
Yami could help but feel like something was missing.
"Yami, what's wrong?" Yugi asked.
"I don't know"
Yami separated from Yugi, but regretted it because he was soon gasping for air as Tea squeezed him.
"Tea, let go," Yami shouted as he pulled himself free to breathe correctly. The rest of the group arrived with Tristan holding Kaiba's body and Mokuba by his side.
Before Tea gave a mock hurt expression and before she could say a word, Yami turned and shouted.
"Where's Pegasus?" he demanded.
The group looked stunned and looked around to see that Pegasus was indeed gone.
Yami fumed and walked for to Tristan taking Kaiba from him.
"We better find him," Yami stated as he started to walk, only to stop when a bright light engulfed Kaiba's body.
Yami stood still as the light died down and Kaiba started to move.
He slowly opened his eyes, and they widened when he noticed who was starting down at him.
"What?" Seto snapped and quickly moved out of Yami's hold.
"What going on?" Seto demanded, ignoring the sudden urging to be in Yami's arms again.
"Nice way, to say thanks, Kaiba," Joey growled.
"Shut it, mutt," Seto snapped.
He was shocked and then smiled softly when he heard the cheerful call of Mokuba.
"Seto," Mokuba cried as he launched himself at Seto.
"Yami and Yugi saved you Seto," Mokuba answered.
Seto looked up to see Yami and Yugi standing side by side, with a look of relief in their eyes.
Seto nodded and pulled out of Mokuba's hug.
"Let's go home," Seto said and lead the way, leaving the group.
Yami ignored the desire to call Seto to him, to bring in his arms.
Suppressing a sign, he turned to look at the group and snapped his eyes open.
"What are you doing here?" Yami demanded of the Egyptian thief between Joey and Ryou.
Well, that's how I plan to end the story. Tell me what you think. Bye for now.
