Forever in Eternity

     Caleb walked the halls quietly ignoring all and everyone.  He was afraid to even look at a person for fear they might see something in his eyes.   Since he had found out about Marik's treachery, he was worked like a slave.  Marik used that fact that he could Jono at any time against him. 

     He would constantly taunt him about it.

     It had been sometime now, three or four weeks now.  He hadn't seen Jono since that day.      

     "Caleb," a voice called him. 

     He almost regretted not running away, but he knew it would only give him suspicion.

     He turned to see Jono coming to him.

     "Caleb, where have you been I haven't seen you in forever," Jono smiled.

     "I've been busy," Caleb said not looking at him.

     "Well are you busy right now?" Jono asked.

     "No but…" Caleb started but stopped when he felt Jono take hold of his hand and lead him.

     "Great, you can come with me to get Yami, the Council wishes to see him," Jono stated pulling him closer.

     "But the Pharaoh's chambers is that way," Caleb pointed to the opposite direction.

     "I've already checked, there's only one other place he could be," Jono smiled.

     Though Jono was smiling to have Caleb with him, he could shake the feeling he should just ask him what was bothering him.  He had noticed for a long time, something was bothering the young assistant, but he figured Caleb would tell him.  He only wished Caleb would tell him now, Jono would do anything for him.

     Yami lay on the bed with a talkative Dark Magician on his chest. 

     He smiled as he heard the Dark Magician's velvet voice.  Sometime had passed since his father's death, and now he was now Pharaoh of Lower Egypt. 

     He ran his fingers through Setti's lush dark brown hair.  The young man in front of him had dulled the pain of losing his father greatly but it was still there.  And he knew it would always be there.

     In the time, he had come to know the unique Dark Magician and had found out how truly special he was.

     He had learned of his life in the clan and had even trusted him with the secret of his powers.

     He had earned that trust the day, Yami had offered his freedom to the young Dark Magician, stating that if he stayed he would not had to participate in the Shadow Games of his people.

     Setti had decided to stay by Yami's side since he was still suffering from his loss, but also because he had felt at ease with the young Pharaoh, a feeling that was a stranger to Setti. 

     Yami would come to him every day to talk him, or simply to hear him speak. 

     He could remember how he had wanted to hear him speak and now that he had, he could never get enough of it.  It was an irreplaceable voice, which stayed with you after hearing it.  It was smooth and velvety like silk. 

     "Yami is something the matter?" he asked.

     "Why do you ask?" Yami countered.

     "Because you haven't said a word," Setti answered.

     "I just like to hear you talk," Yami smiled causing the other to blush.

     It was moments like this he was remembered how truly innocent Setti was, a rare trait among young man his age.  Most had already known how to be seductive in order to claim a wife to marry.  It was common now days for men of their ages to be engaged to wed.

     Which the topic was something that was bothered the young Pharaoh.

     He was going to continue his conversation with Setti was a knock on the door, informed him of visitors.

     Yami looked up to see Jono and Caleb staying at the door.

     "Jono, Caleb what can I do for you?" Yami asked as he lifted himself in to a sitting position next to Setti.

     "It's the council; they wish to inform you of something Yami.  They would not tell of what, it's a surprise," Jono stated.

     Yami turned to see Setti had a small pout of his lips and it took all of Yami's will power not to reach over and nibble on it.

     Setti hated to be alone, and he got like this every time he had to leave.

     "Sorry Setti, but I'll bring him back soon," Jono smiled.

     "You promise?" Setti asked innocently.

     Jono smiled and nodded his head.   Setti pout turned into a small smile and he thanked Jono.  Yami turned and planted a small kiss on Setti's forehead before he stood.

     Yami had turned to noticed Caleb was quiet standing next to Jono.  The young boy had been quiet since the death of his father.  Jono and Yami noticed this change in character but said nothing, hoping the young teen with come out and tell them himself.

     "Caleb, if you don't mind, you would please stay with Setti, I would rather he had some company," Yami stated.

     "Yes, Pharaoh," Caleb bowed.

     Yami frowned but say nothing and walked out.  Caleb, no matter how many times he told him, he would always address him as Pharaoh.

     Jono and Yami walked out leaving two very unique individuals.

     Setti looked at Caleb and smiled lightly at him.

     "You are like me," Setti stated.

     Caleb looked at him in confusion.

     "We are the same, aren't we?  Both of us are different from our people," Setti stated.

     It became clear to Caleb what Setti meant, he smiled he had never thought like that, he sat down on the edge of the bed.

     "Tell me, how are we the same?" Caleb smiled.

     "I don't know why don't we compare our backgrounds?" Setti stated.

     "Let's," Caleb stated.

     "Were other boys and girls cruel to you, too?" Setti asked.

     "Yes," Caleb answered.

     "They were cruel to me too.  But I at least had by parent and the clan elders.  Did you have anyone?"  Setti asked.

     "Yes, for some time, when I was little, I had my mother, she loved me no matter what.  Then she died, when I was 9," Caleb answered not knowing why he was revealing himself to this stranger.

     He looked up to see the young man, was sitting with his arms wrapped around his legs and his chin was resting on his knees listing to him carefully.

     "It's nice to know, that there's someone like me, that I'm truly not alone.  Would you like to my friend," Setti stated.

     Caleb starred at him in shock, how could someone be so innocent?

     "Yes, I would like to be your friend," Caleb smiled, and his grin widened when he saw the look of delight on the young man's face.

     "So tell, young Dark Magician what is so special about you?" Caleb asked with a smile.

     "Do you promise not to tell anyone?  I've already told Yami, so I will tell you, if you promise not to tell," Setti stated.

     Caleb smiled at his childlike manner. 

     "I promise, I won't tell anyone," Caleb stated sincerely.

     Setti smiled at him.

     He crawled closer to Caleb and sat down quietly.

     "You have noticed I don't look like any other Dark Magician," Setti said.

     "Yes, why is that?" Caleb asked.

     "Because of my powers," Setti stated.

     "What about them?" Caleb looked at him with newfound curiosity.

     "I can do things other Dark Magicians cannot," Setti answered.

     "Like what?" Caleb asked.

     "I have some power over the sea and over…" Setti started but was uncertain to continue.

     "Over what else?  I promise not to tell anyone," Caleb stated.

     Setti looked at him straight in the eyes.  For a moment, he felt as if Setti's piercing eyes were looking right through him.  Then in a second, he smiled lightly, as if he liked what he found when he was into them.

     "Over the Blue Eyes White Dragon," Setti answered.

     "Over what!?" Caleb asked.

     "Shhh," Setti hushed.

     "You can control the Blue Eyes?" Caleb asked.

     Setti nodded.

     "How?" Caleb asked in wonder.

     "My parents and the clan had been good friends with an ancient Blue Eyes.  At the moment of his death, he wished for all of the clan to be with him, so he wouldn't be alone.  When the time came, my mother did not know she was with child.  She went to see him died, she was not meant to," Setti stated.

     "I do not understand," Caleb stated.

     "You see, when a Blue Eyes dies their magic is given to all the life around them.  They go into the earth, the sky and the people, so in a way, they never die, they just live in a different way," Setti explained.

     "But, then why didn't the other Dark Magicians receive some of his magic as well?" Caleb asked.

     "Because they already had their powers, the Blue Eyes magic, not matter how powerful, can not erase and replace an others magic.  The reason I received them was because I was in the beginning stages of my life, I was developing my powers when they combined together," Setti stated.

     "Oh, I see.  So your magic and the Blue Eyes combined together to make something new," Caleb stated.

     Setti nodded

     "How interesting, tell me more," Caleb smiled and sat closer to the young man, who was quickly becoming a close friend.

     Jono and Yami stopped before they entered the Council's chambers.

     "Are you sure, you have no idea what they want to speak to me about?" Yami answered his best friend.

     "No, haven't a clue," Jono answered.

     "Well, let's get it on with," Yami sighed.

     As they opened the door, to the chambers they paused when they noticed the Council had became quiet, and there was some one hidden behind, a lace curtain on the far left.

     "Why have you called me?" Yami asked as he stood before the group of five elderly men.

     "Young Pharaoh, we have called you to discuss some matters dealing with you future," the one in the center stated.

     "What matters?" Yami asked.

     "The matters of a future queen and heirs, young Pharaoh," he stated.

     "I have not chosen a wife to bear me children," Yami stated.

     "That is the problem.  Our Pharaoh, we have chosen a wife, for you, she is the daughter of one of the riches noble men of our country," he stated.

     "What?" Yami hissed.

     The curtain was pulled apart revealed…

I give you three guess you it is.  But I doubt you even need one. 

I hope you like it.  Sorry I didn't write, but I really don't have that much time right now.
