I'm baaaaaaaaaaaccccccckk!!! Thank you everyone for your reviews! And I'm terible sorry it took so long to update. Been going through hell lately at my house... dad in and out of the hospital and stuff like that.

And now to answer Kohaku Ishatar's question.

Anti-Nostalgic? No, I've never heard of that story. And I only registered on ffnet last year so if you say its been on ffnet a long while ago, then daresay I have't seen it. Now I will admit I had gottan an idea to write a slave fic by some other ones that I read but I've never took their sole ideas and I am not one to plagiarize, well unless it is my friends notes from class Though I know there's been a case when I wrote something and my friend wrote something too and it was almost the same, making us jump to conclusions that one of us was copying the other's ideas. I assure you that this story is my own, however, if it does ressmble that to another fic then I'm sorry, I didn't know. Guess great minds think a like This is not an excuse, so if you don't believe me I understand but I copied from no one else.

Now hopefully that's settled... this is the second last chapter guys and hopefully I'll get the last one up and running soon! Read on and enjoy!


Nearly a month has passed since the encounter with the Egyptian God Monsters and Devlin's departure to the afterlife... well his SO CALLED departure.

It was very hard for Asha and Yami to choose a time to tell the others the truth though they knew they had to sometime very soon. But truthfully they didn't want too.

After a week from the whole ordeal both Asha and Yami decided to tell the others what really happened to Devlin. And just like they both suspected, the others did not take this very well, especially Seto.

The High Priest was beyond furious... as well as scared. He didn't know that if he turned his back for one second the next Asha would be gone, trapped in the dark Emperor's clutches. By Ra was he actually terrified. No way was he going to let that evil demented scorpion get his light again.

However the group was at least somewhat reassured that the return of Devlin and the Ten Plagues of Egypt would not happen for quite a while. Yami himself believed that it might happen after two to three months.

And so everyone settled down after that, feeling quite relieved. Well all except Asha. Yami and her decided it'd be best that they didn't tell of what Ra told them in front of the others. However Yami insisted that Asha should tell Seto at least though to choose what was the right time to do so.

And as the first month had passed Asha still had not brought up enough courage to tell her lover. She was too afraid that Seto might get rid of her or treat her differently if he found out of what her true blood resided in.

However Seto was not stupid. He could tell Asha was hiding something from him and finally as the month nearly drew to an end he confronted her, asking her of what troubled her. Asha tried to make up excuses or to get away but Seto kept pressing, holding her tight against him, nearly begging for her to tell.

Soon Asha realised that she could not hide anymore and finally, though almost reluctantly, told Seto.

There was quite a moment's pause as the High Priest registered this newfound information. Finally, after what seemed like ages he replied.

"I see... interesting... quite interesting..." was all he said.

One who didn't know Seto very well would take the response as something friendly. But Asha knew better and what she feared actually came true. His voice was monotonous... almost scared in a way... and what sounded to be rejection. Tears almost formed in the slave's eyes.

No... please Ra no... don't tell me he's going to leave me! Please!!! she begged within her mind pleadingly.

Seto, upon seeing her expression, held her tighter, giving her a kiss, muttering that it didn't matter that if she had the blood of deities or not. He'd love her all the same. And as much as Asha wanted to believe she still remembered his previous reaction.

After a while longer Seto told her that he had to attend a meeting that the other High Priest's were holding and after giving her one last kiss, left the room.

Only after the door shut Asha flung herself on the soft blue coloured bed in the room and cried her heart out. She knew by Seto's actions that he was shocked by what she truly was and probably was too scared to stay with her.

"Oh Ra... please don't do this to me... please... I wouldn't be able to live without him... please..." she begged through neverending tears.

And outside of the room Seto rested against the door, his heart beating quickly as he slid to the floor, listening to his light's sobs and sighed as he looked up to the limestone ceilings.

By Ra Asha... I do not hate you... nor will I ever leave you... but please don't blame me... this is quite shocking news...

$&$&$&$&

Soon the time of Yami's and Teana's wedding arrived and the palace was bustling about with different servants doing decorations, foods, gifts and what not. Simon Muran was going to be the one who'd wed the two and was right now at this moment practicing his last moment speeches.

With the last few hours before the ceremony, Yami was in his room with servants helping him get dressed and also listening to the comments of Seto, Bakura and Malik.

"Oh quit being so antsy Yami! You're suppose to be a man, not a ferret!" Malik scolded to which got him a dark glare.

"You cannot blame me Malik... I am quite nervous..." Yami admitted as the servants helped him on with some silk coloured red and white pants, They then moved to placing gold bracelts apon his arms and wrists.

"Nervous? THE Pharaoh of Egypt is nervous on getting married?! Ha! This should be carved into the inscriptures. 'Pharaoh Yami, the very first Pharaoh to be afraid of getting married'" Bakura recited in an immitation of some old hag's voice before he and Malik burst out laughing, earning them more glares from the soon to be married King of Games.

"Oh don't listen to them Yami. They're just a bunch of bakas who'll never get married in their life... not if they keep acting like that they will" Seto said with a reassuring smile, causing the two Emperors to stop laughing and glowering at him.

"Very funny Seto... wait until YOU get married then we'll see how you'll act next" Bakura said haughtily.

Unknown to the Emperors yet caught by Yami, Seto remained silent at that comment, looking at the floor, his eyes full of dismay.

A few hours later after Asha had told Seto the truth, Yami had come to visit her and found her still crying. He soon realised after coaxing the distressed slave of how Seto reacted to the situation. Yami sighed.

Ra Seto... don't tell me you're still brooding over it... don't tell me you'll love someone less of their background? Don't start judging her now...

Yami was brought out of his thoughs as the servants then placed on his flowing red cape and have now moved to his hair, brushing some type of gold dust into it, making it glow in the flickering candlelight of the room. Another servants helped him into his gold slippers before they handed him the Sennen Puzzle, to which Yami put on. The last thing which was placed upon him was his golden crown. he then smiled at the servants and thanked them, to which they bowed before leaving the room.

"Looking good there Yami... loking good... lets jsut hope the looks cover up your nervousness" Malik snickered. Yami sighed, rolling his eyes.

"Must you taunt me so?"

"Why yes Yami. Its our job" Bakura said as if this was common knowledge. Yami decided to then change the subject.

"Where is Jono, Tris and Nileoi?"

"Probably helping out with the food.. or more or less eating it..." Seto smirked. Yami chuckled.

"I would have thought so... Bakura, Malik, could you both kindly go down to the kitchens and make sure that they haven't eaten everything?" Bakura and Malik nodded.

"Can do Yami" they both said before leaving. Yami smiled briefly before turning to the High Priest.

"Seto... we need to talk".

"About what?" Seto asked.

"About Asha".

Once again there was silence and Seto looked at a wall, avoiding Yami's gaze. yami could see in the High Priest's sapphire eyes were that they werequivering slightly and that sadness filled them.

"Seto... don't tell me you've given up her feelings just because of what she truly is..." Seto snapped his head to Yami's and shook it fiercly.

"No! Of course not Yami! How could you even think that?!"

"Well you can't blame me Seto. Your actions say otherwise". Seto sighed and nodded.

"I know... it was just... hard to let sink in... but now I have..."

"I wish you could let Asha know this Seto. She is going more into despair everyday" Yami said pointedly.

"I know... I was just sorting things out... to which I now have..." and while sayig this, Seto opened his hand and held out an object to which Yami gazed upon, surprise filling his features.

"Oh my... ah, I see..." Yami said, then smiling and looking straight into Seto's eyes then. "Well, then we won't have to worry. You plan to tell her tonight?"

"Yes, after you and Teana are wed" was the reply.

"Good. I'm glad to see what your decision truly is Seto... come, let us head down. For some odd reason I don't even trust leaving Bakura and Malik with the food" Yami sighed as he and Seto left the room and headed down to the kitchens.

$&$&$&$&

Meanwhile Teana was getting into her wedding dress with Mysticy, Serena and Asha helping her.

The dress itself was long and overflowing, the colour a lovely shade of rosey red. It was silk made and hugged Teana's curves nicely. Once on, Mysticy was brushing some sweet sceneted oils into her hair while Serena was looking through Teana's jewelery, searching for something that would go with Teana's dress. Asha meanwhile was handing Mysticy different bottles of oils and scented perfumes to Mysticy, who eithe rapplied it toTeana's hair or skin.

"Seriously Mysticy, you don't have to do this" Teana told the older girl who just smirked.

"Come now Teana, I'm happy to do this. Besides this is your wedding day! You have to look your best for your man!" Teana giggled at this.

"Guess you're right. Thank again".

"No problem hun. I'm always happy to help" Mysticy replied as she rubbed some oils into Teana's arms.

"Though I must say the rest of you girls look great in your dresses!" Teana then added, causing the other girls to blush slightly.

Serena was dressed in a light pink dress. She also wore a yellow topaz neclace and had her hair up in a bun with a few bangs hanging out.

Mysticy was in a off shoulder lavender coloured dress. Her hair was also up in a bun, though it was more loose then Serena's. She also wore a dark purple and emerald jeweled necklace and matching wrists bracelets that shone in the light slightly.

As for Asha, she wore a short, dark blue coloured dress that went down to her knees, hugging her frame tightly. The diamond necklace choker was still on around her neck, letting any newcomers at the wedding know that she still belonged to Seto.

During the whole dressing of Teana, Asha was rather quiet. She felt that herself and Seto were getting more distant everyday and it was tearing at her heart. They didn't even have sex during the period from when she told him till now, not that she didn't care for the sex, she just missed the warmth Seto always seemed to give her before the truth was revealed. Asha sighed. She guessed it was hopeless to hope for Seto's feelings to return. She couldn't necessarily blame him. It was understandable how one would react if they found out someone close to them was made from the deities specifically.

Oh well, Asha thought, at least today Seto will be too preoccupied with the festivities to bother with me...

Luckily for the slave, the other girls did not notice her silence and she didn't really want to answer to their questions if they did.

"Aha! Found it!" Serena declared as she came back towards the others, holding a beautiful diamond and rubied necklace with a rather large ruby at the center of the necklace, whcih was in the shape of a heart. Teana stared at it in awe.

"Oh my... I don't remember having that..." Serena giggled.

"Of course you didn't for you just got it today! By a certain someone" she then added, handing Teana a note.

Something for you to wear on your wedding day love. Hope you like it.

- Yami

Teana blushed and folded up the not placing it into a gold box that was beside her, to whcih it held other notes that yami had given to her over the past few years.

I love it Yami... but I love you more... Teana said in her head as Serena handed the necklace to Mysticy, to which she put it on Teana.

"Wow darling, you look astounding!" the blonde declared.

Teana stood up and approached the large crystalline mirror that was in the room and twirled in front of it, loving how the way the dress flowed around her.

"Sure is... come, we better head downstairs to the throne room" Teana said, to which the other girls agreed and they all left.

$&$&$&$&

"Do you Pharaoh Yami no Yugi take Teana Gladaris to be your wife, through happiness and sorrow, through love and anger, through sickness and health, through life and death?" Simon Muran asked.

"By Ra I do" was the reply.

"Do you, Lady Teana Gladaris take Pharaoh Yami no Yugi to be your husband, through happiness and sorrow, through love and anger, through sickness and health, through life and death?" Simon Muran then asked her.

"Oh Ra I do..." was Teana's reply.

"Then I now pronouce you Queen of Egypt and you two are now husband and wife! You may now kiss the bride" Simon Muran said as he placed a slender looking golden crown upon Teana's head after she and Yami placed rings upon the others fingers they then kissed with passion.

Choruses of cheers and outbursts rang through the throne room as eeryone was overjoyed at the new beginning that was soon to happen.

"That was so beautiful!" Bakura said through tears.

"By Ra I say so as well!" Malik also said as tears shimmered down his face in happiness. Mysticy and Serena rolled their eyes, chuckling at their reactions.

"Not so tough now huh?" Mysticy and Serena both asked as the guys glowered at her.

Yami and Teana turned to the crowd and Teana threw a bouquet of beautiful red roses into the air, in which they fell into Asha arms, causing the young girl to blush ever so deeply. And unknown to her, Seto smiled warmly as well, earning him a wink from Yami, to which he returned.

Festivites continued on after the marriage, that being diner, opening of gifts, dancing, singing songs and overjoyous thoughts. This was a time of true happiness.

As night came along and became later, Yami and Teana chose to make their leave, accepting the many last minute cheers before they left to go up into the chambers where they now share forever.

After they left Asha felt herself being pulled away from the crowd and soon found out that it was Seto. She looked up at him in curiosity.

"Come my light... there is something important I wish to tell you" he said as he took her by the hand and pulled her away from the crown and outside, to which Asha only followed, curious yet dreading on what it was.

$&$&$&$&

Once safely inside their chambers, Yami and Teana immediately kissed pationately, holding one another tightly as Yami guided them to the red silken covered bed, to whcih they both fell upon, their kiss never stopping.

Once it did, they both broke away and smiled softly into the other eyes, love radiating so fiercly it could have liten up all of Egypt.

"My love... I am glad I finally have you within my arms forever..." Yami spoke softly, his voice full of warmth and trust.

"And I am glad of this too my love" Teana replied, her voice holding the same tones as well.

"I have one more present for you my dear... I've been saving it to just give you... no one else knows of it... well with the exception of my parents..." Yami said, smirking. Teana looked at him with her azure eyes full of curiosity.

"What is it?"

"My name love... my real name... for I am Atemu..."

At this Teana's eyes widened as it registered in her name. For some odd reason Yami's, or shall we say Atemu's name now clicked in with him moe snugly then his other name did before. Teana smiled softly at him.

"Thank you for giving it to me Atemu... I shall always cherish it as I cherish you..."

"That I am glad for Teana..." Atemu then said before they locked lips again.

As their passion increased, all jewelery, all clothes slipped away from their bodies and their love and feelings for one another increased through the night, filling the room with much warmth, trust, acceptance and... well... love... Only two names were repeated from one another's lips... that being the names of their new found spouse and soulmate...

"Teana..."

"Atemu..."

Ah what sweet blissful love this has turned out to be... and that it would always be till the end...

$&$&$&$&

Asha remained silent as Seto led her outside of the palace to welcome a wonderfully starlit sky, bathing the grounds with a holy glow. The moon intensified the glow as Seto continued leading her down a path to the Nile, in which a marbled shelter stood, as if waiting for just them to arrive. Once both under, Seto turned to Asha with calm sapphire eyes.

"What is it that you needed to tell me Seto?" Asha asked.

Not responding, Seto stepped towards her and slowly removed the choker from around her neck before stepping back, the item held in his hands when he finally spoke.

"You are no longer my slave".

Asha stared at him with wide eyes, tears beginning to well in them as her heart was thumping fast. She took a step back, not believing what she was hearing.

No Ra please no! Don't make my worst fears come true! Please don't! she continued pleading in her head as she took another step back in fear. However before she could get even further away Seto grabbed onto her wrist with a gentle hold and pulled her back.

"You are no longer my slave Asha" Seto said again. "For you mean more to me as a slave. I want to be with you forever" he said. At this Asha gasped, her heart now beating faster but in that of hope.

"But why did you ask so... distant after I told you the truth?" she then asked. Seto sighed.

"I will admit I was shocked... yet I soon realised that what I have been praying for to come true. For a long time Asha I prayed to the gods to send me someone to bring me out of my darkness, to cure my evil ways and to make me love again... and that they have done... by sending you. And it was only by when I learned the truth did I know my wishes have happened".

Asha looked at him in awe, tears of joy falling from her mixed coloured eyes. Seto smile softly and brushed them away before holding out his hand, showing Asha an object to which she gasped.

"I want you to have this my light".

The object itself was flower shaped but it was no ordinary flower. its various petals seemed to be made of different gems. Diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, rubies, topazes... everything. Yet as she ran her fingers along it, the flower itself didn't feel as cold as the gems were, yet soft soft and silky as true flower petals are suppose to be, yet hard and firm of that of gems. Like it was a mix of both.

"What is this?" Asha asked after a long moment's pause.

"My mother gave it to me" Seto replied, looking straight into Asha's eyes as he spoke. "She told me it was a rare flower that only grew near the sacred grounds of the gods... she said her mother had given to her when she was a child. Her own mother told her to give it to the someone you love the most. That was indeed my father but after a while he did not give her love, only hate. Yet she gave it to me, saying:

'Seto, my son... give this to the woman who you shall come to love with all your heart and be with in eternity... give it the woman of your dreams that also loves you in return... for there shall be everlasting happiness'.

And so I have chosen that woman, and it is you my light" he finished.

He then held out his Sennen Rod and made the flower glow, along with the choker that was in his hands. The diamond Blue Eyes White Dragon then came off the choker, flying over to the flower before curling around it, staying in place. The gold choker itself then lengthened into a chain link to which it attatched the to the dragon held flower. Once done Seto slipped it around her neck before looking into her eyes again.

"Will you be with me forever my light?" he asked.

Asha stared at the necklace for a moment, touching it with her hand delicately, feeling warmth spread through her before she threw herself into Seto's arms, holding him tight.

"Of course I will Seto! I want to be with you forever!"

"So be it then" the High Priest rpelied before he locked lips with her, both of them moaning at the warmth and passion. As the kiss deepend, Seto's hands wandered, going over Asha's curves as he rubbed her over and over, eliciting moan after moan from the young girl. A slight breeze past over the two, causing Asha to shiver slightly, to whcih Seto smirked and broke the kiss.

"Come, lets choose a place warmer to express our love... ah, I have just the place" Seto said as he took her hand and led her back to the palace.

"Which place is it?" Asha asked as she followed him. Seto turned back to her, a playful smirk on his handsome face.

"You'll see..."

$&$&$&$&

Malik yawned and stretched as sunlight bathed over him and Mysticy's naked figures. He smiled softly as he turned to his love, running a hand along her soft creamy skin.

What a night... he thought, smiling at what he remembered before sliding out of bed, pulling the silk sheets over Mysticy's frame, being careful not to wake her. He then pulled on a robe and placed a soft kiss on her forehead before he left the room, heading down to his own chambers which weren't too far.

"Fairly quiet" he mused to himself as he neared his room. Then again he expected it would be since everyone partied fairly late the previous night. And partying it was, that Malik knew for sure.

Upon reaching his room he was reminiscing on a most favourable moment where he had Mysticy moaning in ecstacy as he pushed open the door, his thoughts ending as he stared, eyes wide and mouth agape at what was in his room.

Two figures... make that two very FAMILIAR figures were curled up on his bed, laying in one another's arms.

Seto and Asha to be more precise.

Malik sputtered, in shock and outrage at the thought. What were those two thinking?!

"Well well... guess they took my advice after all" came Bakura's amused voice behind the overwhelmed sandy haired blond.

Malik turned to him slowly, his eyes narrowing as he registered what Bakura just said.

"So this was your idea?" he asked slowly. Bakura nodded.

"Naturally. After they had slept in my bed and you laughed and joked about it I thought it was only fair for them to return the favour". Malik could only stare as bakura was busying tighenting his robe around him.

"Well then..." Malik said as he turned to a suit of armour, pulling out a long gleaming sword from the sheath before turning back to Bakura. "I guess you wouldn't mine if I hacked you to pieces for this, hmm?"

"Oh absoloutely not- oh oh" Bakura then said, registering the sword in Malik;s hands and his tone. He gulped.

"Well then, guess I'll be leaving you to your business!" Bakura said as he took off at full speed, away from the other Emperor, who was now chasing him, swinging the sword around, intent on catching the white haired Emperor.

"GET BACK HERE YOU ALBINO ASS!!! YOU OWE ME SOME BODY PARTS!!!"
